2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee engine problems

“My 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar v6 has a persistent cylinder 2 misfire (P0302). The cylinder 2 spark plug, ignition coil, and fuel injector have already been replaced, but the misfire continues. Diagnostic testing with a scan tool confirmed that cylinder 2 accumulated 61 misfires during a single test while cylinders 1,3, 4, 5, and 6 recorded zero, and the misfire monitor reported " Fail this trip" the vehicle can appear to drive normally despite the active misfire. I became aware that Chrysler issued warranty bulletin x56 concerning the 3.6L left cylinder head on certain 2011- 2013 vehicles including select 2013 Jeep grand Cherokees. I contact a jeep dealer and advise that my VIN is not included in that warranty extension. I am reporting this because my vehicle is experiencing a similar cylinder specific misfire concerns and I believe this condition should be documented and investigated.”

“I was on the highway and the truck escalated in speed then it would decreased In speed . (61 mph to 45-41mph. Then it decreased speed all the way to a complete stop. Then burst into flames in front of truck. Truck made crackling sounds and proceeded to burn all the way back to the back seats of truck.”

“The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The dealer informed the contact that the battery charge was extremely low. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and was informed that the alternator had failed. The alternator was replaced. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle sputtered and stalled. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road. A tow truck arrived on the scene, and while the tow truck driver was attempting to jump-start the vehicle, sparks were coming from the battery. The tow truck driver became aware that the alternator was red hot, and the wires surrounding the alternator were burned, with a burning odor coming from the vehicle. The tow truck driver did not jumpstart the vehicle due to safety concerns. The vehicle was pushed onto the flatbed truck. The vehicle was towed to the residence and had not been driven since.…”

“Was driving on highway going 60 miles following traffic my car suddenly stalled took me a little bit to pull over, switched off the car, the car made a funny sound. Waited 5 mins and the car started again. My car is constantly stalling, doesn’t give me any warning signals and the Jeep dealership I go to cannot figure out what it is. It takes about min before my car can restart and i keep moving”

“I will be going 50-65 mph down the highway and my jeep will just die. It will die for about 10-15 seconds then start again. This is very dangerous. I have talked to multiple people that this has happened too.”

“- The core component that failed is the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The failure was initiated by a fault in the external fuel pump relay (V62 Safety Recall remedy part), which caused improper power delivery. This improper power delivery subsequently damaged the fuel pump motor, requiring replacement of both components. This failure has cascaded, also disabling the circuits for the Engine Cooling Fan (Codes P0480/P0693) and Exterior Lighting (Headlights/B1630), and the Horn. I am in possession of the burnt-out fuel pump relay/fuse component. -The engine stalled while the vehicle was operating, the exact hazard the V62 recall was meant to prevent. This was followed by a catastrophic TIPM breakdown, creating new, simultaneous safety risks: Overheating/Fire Risk: The Cooling Fan circuit failed (P0480/P0693), causing severe engine overheating. No Headlights: The Headlights failed (B1630), causing total loss of visibility at night. No Horn: The Horn failed, eliminating the ability to warn other drivers. - Yes. The initial engine stall and subsequent no-start condition (due to a blown relay fuse) were confirmed by an independent service center (Monro). The…”
