Won't start by model year
What owners say
Auto made loud noises and stopped running. Would not start. Had towed to jeep dealer who had it for 3 months and they made sure that the timing was fine. Replaced cam and crank sensor. Still wouldn't start. They finally called us to have the vehicle towed back to our home because the manufacturer told them it was probably the tipm and wiring harness. They told us the cost for the part and to install it (with no guarantee it would fix the car) was $2,300 which we don't have so we have a vehicle that we can't even start.
Auto would not start. Steering column assembly had to be replaced. There is a kit made to fix but was unreliable. Other years official recall was 2011. People with 2002, 2005, 2007 had same problem. Chrysler assumed no responsibly, would not re imburse me for the fix. Need help in having chrysler assume responsibility.
When placing the key in the ignition no crank, no start, wiring harness and central sending unit replaced, and returned to me 2/28/2014 a friday afternoon upon receipt or SUV from dealership repair returned home will not shift out of park and dash lights illuminate ie esp and antiskid it appears as though the car does not recognize the key and will not allow the car to shift from park care returned to for repair 03/03/2014 apparently some type of relay and sensors have malfunctioned and "smoked" per the dealer in the dash and steering column.
This is a complaint about the fuel issue that I have seen on here already.when I go to put fuel into the gas tank, it will not stop at the end as it's filling up. It just overflows. I would say at least a few cups of fuel flows down the side of the jeep and down into the bottom of the vehicle and wheel well. I know that at some point it will lead to rust/corrosion among many other issues. I really wish this could be looked at and possibly fixed by manufacturer. It doesn't make sense that there are more than enough complaints about the same issue, with no help from the manufacturer. I also have the same problems as others with the windows. The regulator has a piece that breaks and then the whole regulator has to be replaced. This has happened 3 times already on different windows. Lastly, I just recently had an issue where the jeep wouldn't start. The console lights and guages work fine and it acted like all was well, but the car wouldn't turn over when the key was turned. The result was the ignition switch actuator pin. It has a piece that breaks off and when that happens, the jeep wont be able start. It isn't an easy fix for someone who isn't mechanically capable. Again, this is an issue that has happened to many people and honestly the manufacturer should do something about this. I could complain about more, but let's just leave it at that.
