I BOUGHT MY BAND NEW 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 7 MONTHS AGO - BRAND NEW FROM THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT I STARTED TO NOTICE THE ACCELERATION IS NOT 100%, THE WINDOWS STOP ROLLING UP OR DOWN FOR HOURS AT A TIME AT RANDOM TIME, THE BRAKES SOMETIMES DON'T WORK ALL THE WAY, THE ENGINE JUMPS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND MOST RECENTLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WOULD NOT GO PAST 1.5 EVEN WHEN FLOORING IT & THERE WERE LOUD CLICKING NOISES WITH A LOUD FAN. THIS TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP - I HAD TO TOW IT IN BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SHIP 3 TIMES FOR THEM TO CHECK ON THESE THINGS & EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN THEY TELL ME THEY ARE "UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEMS" & CANNOT HELP ME. I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO COMPLAIN & REPORT ISSUES AND THEY EITHER TELL ME THEY CANNOT HELP ME, THEY PUT ME ON HOLD FOR AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME, I GO TO VOICEMAIL, OR NO ONE IS AVAILABLE. THEY CALLED ME TODAY, AFTER HAVING IT FOR 4 DAYS, AND TOLD ME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FOR A "EVAP PERG SYSTEM" SO THEY REPLACED A HOSE & UPDATED MY POWER CONTROL MODULE AS A PRECAUTION. WHEN I ASKED THEM HOW THIS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY ENGINE PROBLEMS HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT. WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY MY ENGINE HAS PROBLEMS HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT. NO ONE THERE WANTS TO HELP ME - WHAT I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE DOING IS GIVING ME EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE IN THE BOOK, STALLING ME FOR AS LONG AS THEY CAN UNTIL MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I HAVE DEALT WITH 4 MANAGERS THERE - THE 1ST ONE STOPPED RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS, THE 2ND ONE TOLD ME I AM IMAGINING THINGS AND I SHOULD STOP COMPLAINING AND BE THANKFUL THAT I HAVE A NEW CAR, THE 3RD ONE POND ME OFF ONTO A 4TH ONE & THE 4TH ONE TOLD ME TO MY FACE THAT I AM A LIAR AND I AM MAKING UP STORIES SO THE SITUATION LOOKS WORSE THEN IT ACTUALLY IS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
SIMILAR TO NHTSA IDS#: 10533622 AND 10533524. OCCURRENCE: 5 TIMES TO DATE FREQUENCY: RANDOMLY SPEED: LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 50 MPH EACH TIME ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL: ALWAYS OFF, NEVER ON VEHICLE MILEAGE: ~ 3,200 THE CAR RANDOMLY APPLIES THE BRAKES EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NO OBJECTS IN THE ROAD (FRONT, REAR OR SIDES) AND NO PENDING ACCIDENT. OUT OF THE FIVE TIMES, TWO OF THOSE TIMES SO HARD THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TO DATE NO ACCIDENTS, BECAUSE NO CARS HAVE BEEN AROUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE A FAMILY AND AM AFRAID TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE OR LET THEM DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ONCE FOR THIS ISSUE AND WILL NOW GO IN A SECOND TIME BECAUSE THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. THE NTSB SHOULD REALLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND EITHER ISSUE A RECALL OR AT A MINIMUM ISSUE A TSB. *TR
