2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I'VE TRIED PASSING SMOG NOW FOR 5 MONTHS AND I KEEP GETTTING OB11 NOT READY. I'VE HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT AND SERVICED BY TWO MECH TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS - NOTHING COMES UP. I TAKE METICULOUS CARE AND HAVE FULL RECORDS OF MY SERVICE RECORDS. I'M AT A LOSS AND ALTHOUGH I'VE PAID MY REGISTRATION - I CANNOT GET CURRENT TAGS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

CAR JUST SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN, AND HAS STARTING ISSUES, HAD ONE INSTANCE WHERE IT JUST SHOWN DOWN COMPLETELY IN TRAFFIC. THIS FINAL INSTANCE WILL NOT START AND LIGHTS ON PANEL JUST JUMP AROUND AND IT IS MAKING STRANGE NOISES UNDER THE HOOD IT WILL NOT START ALL LIGHTS COME ON RADIO ETC . WILL E HAVING THE ISSUE CHECKED ASAP AND WILL UPDATE ONCE OR IF I FOUND OUT CAUSE

IN DECEMBER 2019 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE V51 FOR AN SYSTEM UPDATE TO THE POWERTRAIN (POWER CONTROL MODULE). ON 1/30/20 I TOOK MY BELOVED JEEP TO PUTNUM CHRYSLR JEEP IN BURLINGAME, CA TO PERFORM THE UPDATE. ON 4/24/20 I WENT TO PERFORM A STAR SMOG AND I FAILED DUE TO OBD11 NOT READY (OXYGEN SENSORS). I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. I TAKE EXCEPTIONAL CARE FOR MY CAR AND DON'T HESITATE TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS SUPRISED. THEREAFTER, I TOOK IT BACK TO AND IT STATED THE SAME THING OBD11 NOT READY. ON 6/10/20 I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SMOG PLACE AND AGAIN FAILED DUE TO OBD11 NOT READY. I THEN HAD THE SYSTEM RESET. DROVE IT FOR OVER 40 MILES AND TOOK IT TO THE SAME PLACE FOR SMOG AND AGAIN OBD11 NOT READY. I SPOKE TO BAR AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT. I NOW HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE REF AND THEY NOTED THAT THEY CAN PASS ME DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I'VE SPENT TRYING TO CORRECT THIS OBD11 NOT READY. I EVEN REPLACED THE UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSORS FOR NO REASON. I HAD A DIAGOSTIC PERFORMED AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THIS OXYGEN SENSOR ISSUE?

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN A HILL AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AND HOUR, ECO MODE WAS ACTIVATED, AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN THE LIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I FELT MY CAR LOSING POWER AND STEERING, BUT THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT TOTALLY SHUT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY INSPECTED IT AND INFORMED ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE AND INFORMED ME IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE THAT THIS HAPPENED DUE TO NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE CHAIN, TENSIONERS, ETC., WHICH I HAD THEM DO, BUT THEY WENT TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE VALVES. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I CAME ACROSS THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE, OCCURRING UNDER THE SAME OR SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, IN DODGE CHALLENGERS AND CHARGERS WITH THE SAME ENGINE (5.7L V8 HEMI) IN THE SAME YEAR (2010). I SAW THAT THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THOSE VEHICLES AND CALLED JEEP TO DISCUSS THIS, BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT WHILE THIS WAS THE SAME THING, THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALLS FOR MY GRAND CHEROKEE AND SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR

IT STARTED OVER BUMP IN THE ROAD THEN BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY DOWN NOT STOPPING CORRECTLY NOW IT LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME WHILE IN MOTION OR AT A HALT. TURNING KEY IN IGNITION CAUSES A STALL LIKE CHOCKING SOUND AND DOES NOT TURN ON THE CAR. NEED TO REPEAT THIS STEP A FEW TIMES BEFORE VEHICLE TURNS ON WHILE AT A STAND STILL.

I WAS DRIVING ON I20 IN ATLANTA.IN THE LEFT LANE, OF AT LEAST 6 LANES AT 70 MPH. MY ENGINE JUST STOPPED IN HEAVY, HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. I MOVED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AS CAR FLEW BY, FLASHING LIGHTS AND BLOWING THEIR HORNS AND WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. THE JEEP WAS HAULED TO A DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN AND HAD SEVERELY DAMAGED MY ENGINE WITH 95,760 MILES SHOWING. I LOVE MY JEEP. IT IS IN EXCELLENT COND. AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED IT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS, 3,000 MILE MOBILE 1 OIL CHANGES, ALONG WITH ALL OTHER RECOMMENDED SERVICES. CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM AND RECALLED OTHER, SAME YEAR MODELS INCLUDING THE 300, THE CHARGER AND THE CHALLENGER ALL WITH THE SAME ENGINE. THE RECALL IS # P01. HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE HAD THE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS DONE THAT WOULD HAVE COST A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR PARTS AND 5 TO 6 HOURS LABOR. INSTEAD, I HAD TO PAY OVER $7,000. FOR THE ENGINE REPAIRS. ABOUT AS MUCH AS MY CAR IS ACTUALLY WORK! YES THIS WAS EXPENSIVE BUT MORE IMPORTANT WAS THE "WHERE AND HOW" THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS HIGH SPEED, TRAFFIC SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE EASILY PRODUCED A HUGE, REAR ENDING TRAGIC ACCIDENT AND LOSE OF PROPERTY AND/OR LIVES. WHY DID CHRYSLER NOT WARN OWNERS OF THE 2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THIS DANGEROUS, EXPLOSIVE ENGINE PROBLEM THAT THEY KNEW WAS GOING TO HAPPEN? THEIR RECALL INCLUDED SOME 50,000 OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE. WERE THEIR LIVES MORE VALUABLE THAN MINE? SHAME ON CHRYSLER AND WHATEVER REASONING THEY USED TO PUT ME AND THE OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 5.7 AT RISK. IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED TO DATE, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. PLEASE HELP MY TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO INCLUDE THESE CARS IN THEIR RECALL. THESE OWNERS ARE IN DANGER!
