Finally Recalled - Jeep Grand Cherokee Battery Dies No Warning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Carquestions wants to know how a modern day vehicle like the Jeep GC can win 29 Industry awards, be reviewed by Edmunds.com, Detroit News and everyone else under the sun without any of them mentioning this vehicle lacks the basic ability to warn the driver in the event of a major electrical system malfunction. Is this another example of "decontenting"? Thousands of people designed and built it, hundreds more reviewed it - just a simple mistake or just another example of pulling the wool over your eyes?
Wow, hard to believe they didn't put in a battery, charging monitor.
Wonder when the recall will be coming to fix this?
Can't wait to get home and verify that my 2011 Ram has a battery/charge monitor
Just took mine to the dealership today for the same thing. Dead alternator and I assume dead battery, glad it was just a case of "no crank no start" after I parked instead of it dying on the road. These WK2 are good looking vehicles, but the build quality leaves a lot to be desired
what did it cost?
@KXKKX - it was fully charged 12.8 - If your thinking when the voltage gets low enough a battery light will come on it won't - there is no symbol in the dash to light up that I can see and if there was by FMVSS standards it would have a bulb check when the key is turned to "on". You can see from the video there is no bulb check for the battery.
That is something I was actually looking for a gauge this morning in my 2011 Grand Cherokee and could not find a gauge for the charging system
I got fixd it shows the voltage
My alternator died and I didn't know until the battery died while driving.. Had to tow the car home..
Me too!
So the alternator will kill my battery if it's bad ?
Mines did the exact same like it wouldnt turn over
@@ivanreese7087 I replaced the fuse box, but this was years and years ago so I can’t remember exactly what I did
I got a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK.This just happened to me today, First thing I noticed was the car started loosing power , not cold air, all warning lights started to show up, then I quickly moved to the right lane and enter to Home Depot. Mi car stopped at the middle entrance of the parking lot and battery completely dead so had to cancel my trip and return home. I never saw this coming mi car was just fine a minute before
@1001Hobbies I wanted to check this vehicle for an electrical related issue and was trying read the battery voltage from the cars own gauges when I realized I most definitely couldn't do this no matter what buttons got pushed.
@Plague02 Without the alternator being driven the electrical system is not receiving 13.5 - 14 volts of charge. The battery, running the engine by itself, will lose voltage output and a charging system light is supposed to appear to let you know there is a fault in the charging system. There is no excuse for the condition Mark found.
Can you do a followup video after running the car for a few minutes with A/C and lights on to drain the battery? I agree with you, an idiot light at least would be helpful. Of course in this scenario the cause is obvious, but other situations might be less clear. Sitting in the drivers seat I want as much info as I can, without needing a scan tool at the roadside.
Regular car wash over here, after that the battery light came on. Next time i turned the car on, the light stayed off. Multimeter shows it is not charging, and it smells like burnt electric wiring. My alternator is done for good. There was a recall on those alternators, ...
@CompCrasher86 The belt was removed for testing and the vehicle won't suffer any ill affects if it is done cold and run for less than 5 minutes or so. Your thermostat does the same thing every time you start your car from cold - no coolant circulation until 195 degrees on most cars. I'm a mechanic and did it to prove a point about the battery light - I'm not suggesting you try it
Unfortunately same has happened to me yesterday! Grand cherokee 2012 Yesterday Battery light came on, engine shut, bought new battery...today morning same thing! Now I am told need to buy a new alternator...have no words!
I'd buy the alternator - should do it if all connections are godd
@@carquestions All connections good. Am placing an order
GM did something similar to the final Grand Ams and Aleros. The cruise control dash LED is missing and even if you soldered a new LED in its place it will not light during the initial turn on check or when cruise control is on. With no cancel button and a very hard to see and quite dim light cruise control enabled/on button LED on the GA it is possible to have cruise control engaged and not know it and having to hit the brakes to disengage the cruise control. And this happened in mid MY '03.
@carquestions Please show me the statue. Also, realize that this is a shared display. If one of the items lights up, the display is working. Also, it might not show up when the battery is near dead, but when it gets below a certain charge. If you aren't testing a low battery scenario, you can't say that light isn't there.
I just now went to start my 2011 and just heard clicks, so I went to check battery level and voila! I can’t believe that there’s not some kind of battery level indicator! know this thread is 10 years old, but I had to comment.
Thanks Dave - it's about this age they start having the problems - Cheers from Canada!
@@carquestions - mine turned to be a dead battery - it was still the original!
@@doplinger1 The AGM batteries last a long time. Pricey to replace though.
I have a 2001 Grand Cherokee and while it has a volt gauge, it also has a Check Gauges light that will illuminate if the battery voltage falls below 11-10ish volts I think? I would imagine this Jeep probably also has a light that will kick if the battery gets down that low. Must just be that an interface was not added to allow the instrument cluster to distinguish if the vehicle is on or off and rather will not trigger the light until the battery reaches a critical level.
I changed my alternator once and it wouldn't charge at all same thing dash lights came on so the dealer said the pcm is not responsive to the alternator. Which is an expensive fix for another pcm crazy. So i did it a rather cheap way i just put a voltage regulator in it so it wouldn't rely on the pcm and it worked. . . The dealers try say you cant bypass your pcm you can. Instead of buying expensive parts that cost an arm and leg FFS
Great idea thanks for the info!
Did u work out what it was? Mines same thing
Did you try the recall for dealer to replace the PCM alternator affected?
@res340 Any bare metal ground under the hood is fine - as far as the warning light goes it does have one - I've seen it come on once when using the remote start - but it won't come on when normally started or if the belt falls off. NHTSA is the one to complain to - seems no one checks to see if the car is built to spec - so much for safety standards.
My husbands and I purchased a New 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee in May of 2011 and with in the 1st two months the alternator went bad as I was driving the PIC went hay wire all instrument lights on the panels we're flashing but NOTE only the lights that flash were the one used when starting the car using the remote start the dealer ship told me they reset every thing and sent me on my way, no really feel comfortable with that, but what else can u do 2 day later the same thing happened this time they said it was the alternator and they had none in stock because the car was to new go figure that,I totally had it at that point and they amazingly found on the Atlanta GA and were overnighting it.
Feeling overwhelmed by technology I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance myself
My 2014 did this on me the other day after a long drive, no warning and suddenly within 1-2 minutes all electronic systems died (incl ABS and steering) and the battery didn't even have enough juice to shift gear so the car was stuck on the side of the road. Had to tow it and after jump starting it I saw the low voltage warning, seems to only show when the battery is almost completely drained (so no warning at all from what I assume is a dead alternator)
I agree - probably the alternator
Maybe the driver info center will throw a warning if the voltage gets too low? The PCM should have a battery voltage and know if the alternator is not charging.
Since you are in Canada (Ontario IIRC) maybe the dash gauges were messed up during printing or the instrument cluster computer was not programmed correctly?
@carquestions The EVIC is an display that can show many symbols. Not seeing it there doesn't mean that it won't turn on with a low battery. Why do you think it won't show when the battery gets low? Also, what happens if you turn the ignition to the on position without starting the car.
@Plague02 As seen in the video when turned to "on" there is no light as required by law - this is a problem. What good would the light be if it only turned on when the battery was near dead ? - you need a warning
Wife has a 2012 and hers has a battery light but it no sooner turned on then the lights went out and the car stalled. It left us stranded at the local auto parts store because the alternator almost burnt up. Now it's sitting at the dealer new alternator new battery and it still doesn't work. Now they're putting a new computer in it. Keep grand POS if you ask me.
+NwOShooter It's recalled so no charge - any damage a recalled part is responsible for is covered or complain to NHTSA and centre for auto saftey
drive it for a while, it'll tell you when somethings wrong, you'll get a bright red battery light that will eventually start flashing
Apparently, the alternator recall written about in text over the video does not cover 2011, the model in this video. P60 covers 2012-2014. Nor have I received any recall about a battery light, etc. The only recalls for my 2011 V6 is for vanity mirror wire harness, brake booster, and fuel pump relay. To check your vehicle for recalls, go to: recalls.mopar.com
same recalls for my 2013, no alternator :(
Isn't it also hilarious that just today Jeep announced they were cutting the base price of the Grand Cherokee by over $3K for 2012? Maybe they removed even more stuff from it!
The 2013 does it too. I did eventually get the battery symbol to show up. I started it using the remote start feature, got in and pushed the start button and then and only then did the indicator show on the dash. Why only when starting from remote start? No idea so far
@AsianTvchingchong I think you missed the video - Yes Chrysler says there is a light they say so in the manual - problem is, and the video shows it, by law it is supposed to turn on at start or if there is a charging system failure and it doesn't turn on. Do you have a picture of one actually working? Saying there is alight is one thing - showing it is another.
The indicator is in the evic display at the bottom in the red area it dose come on right at start it is multi function so you won't see the battery it will just look like a bunch of little squares. Check the book. The battery is probably do new that is was able to maintain voltage for that amount of time. The quality of the new jeep is very poor in my opinion and I was a jeep lover. The previous model (wk)was a worse.
same thing on my moms 2012 Durango, flashed the battery light for 2min then off, checked with volt meter and its 11.9v, taking it to the dealer.
I was noticing in your video that with the belt disconnected, your temperature gauge was climbing. You may want to run this test again because if that gauge reaches the red zone, I'm pretty sure that would be an indication that there's an issue that needs attention. Just saying.
It’s going to climb because there is no belt to drive the water pump
Thanks for filling in - Cheers!
I was searching all over for the battery monitor but knowing a broken belt wouldnt have a tell tale is such a dissapointment. Even my 89 Mazda had a warning for that. They really rushed this project 😪
glad I saw this. I was checking my battery to.see where I would hook up.jumper cables. would I use ground instead of negative? also is there a way to file a complaint saying the veh is unsafe? I would like a battery warning indicator
@MrImacarfan The belt didn't break - I took it off to see if the battery light would come on in the event the belt did come off - as far as pentastars failing I haven't heard much - if you know of a link tell me please
2012 jeep grand cherokee limited it died out of nowere put a new battery new alternator worked good for a couple hrs then ac went of wippers went on stereo turned off then truck to now it doesnt turn on do you know wat it can be ?tia
Get computer codes then see what they say first Kompa
Kompa meño did u work out what was wrong? My jeep has done the same thing
Dude thanks i have the same vehicle. Im literally gonna change the battery soon
Anytime Robert - cheers!
I have a 2013 Jeep Cherokee and the FWC sensor light comes on and a car with squiggly lines that resemble the slippery when wet symbol comes on and my truck shuts completely off it will not start, I replaced the starter, battery, got a full tune up with the plugs replaced and it still stops on me...any idea how to fix this?
You need to get a deep dealer level scan of the system - sounds like more than one problem going on
Did you get it fixed? I have the same problem 😩
my 2013 battery died (all the warning lights came on one by one as they failed due to low batt including power steering etc). I would say my alternator is dead
That may well be the problem
What did it end up being? My wifes 2012 just did the same thing this morning in the middle of the interstate
Its has a battery light when the battery gos below 12 v it will come on not cool but thats what we have to work with
Mine was sitting cool on 11.5v no warning lights active
Mine came on its a red battery 2011 grand cherokee
I have a 2009 jeep grand Cherokee...I notice when I crank it up it starts to sputter then cut off ...then when I try again it cranks with no problem.....what causes that
Fuel pump maybe - see if the computer has any codes first
@ZJlover1994 Love to agree with you but the video clearly shows at the instant the engine starts there is no battery indicator. Play the video and push pause to seee yourself. The owners manual says it is supposed to be there but when I checked this car it wasn't there. Fed safety standards say it should be - every other car has either a gauge or light but not this jeep. If you can take a picture of one showing a battery light or gage please send it to me.
can you please help me out. i replaced my durango 2012 battery and after that my push button isn't working. only thing I see is damaged key massage.
+scaniceyes Get the computer scanned and let me know the codes.
Have same year grand cherokee.it will come on when the battery voltage drops past 11.5 volts.
Can one install an after market battery indicator gauge on this 2011-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo..
Sure - visit your local speed shop
@Plague02 Please let us know how to find your "mystery" video
I have the same one but a 2012 and I've never had a problem either
I have the same truck and year there is a red battery light indicator in the shape of a battery mine came on last week twice, I assumed the alternator was failing due to the fact it had all the signs I didn't t drive the truck for 3 days, I just so happen remote started the truck it ran for 10 minutes I went outside to leave and the truck had no power @ all I had to use the emergency key to get in I tried to jump-start it but every time I connect the jumper cables( which I am very capable of knowing how to jump-start a car) the positive terminals sparks/smokes like crazy so I am assuming there is a bad ground somewhere but find it odd that the truck remote started then ran for 10 minutes to absolutely no power ????
It had to have power to start - no question - then somehow drained quickly after - probably internal alternator short - lucky you didn't burn it down
@rockyjrlv Ya I mentioned this to res340 - I saw it come on with the remote start but it was well after I made the video - Since yours does the same thing I'm thinking it is some kind of evic programing error - I wonder if the 2012 do this?
carquestions I have a question sir - I’m having issues with P0334 code, engine light on, stalling, riding rough (especially in 60-70mph range and smooths out at times). Windows going down with car off and locks on door going up/down.. My question is back in April 2019 The 220amp alternator was replaced with the 180amp 4801833AB alternator. Can this alternator be causing all my issues!?
Wow that’s frickin nuts and I own one
There is another feature that Chrysler has been leaving off of the newer cars. I am sure it is just to be cheep. The part I am referring to is the door lock sensor, when unlock my 2008 Jeep with the metal key the alarm will sound. When I have complained to the dealer they said that has been deleted. My 1994 dose not have this issue, the lights even turn on inside. What are your thoughts? Thanks
I own a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee and just last week Friday in the arvo the battery charging sign popped up. I continued on the motorway to pick my husband up from work and than on the way home it just completely died out. Like it just totally switched off, would not turn on for even myself to put the windows up as they were all down. I’m flabbergasted to be quite honest. We just bought the car in July this year. So I was wondering, a suggestion from you would be very much appreciated before I take it in to the mechanics. And also do I take my Jeep to see a certified Jeep/dodge specialist or can I pop it into any mechanical store?
Kind Regards
Monica
You can take this to a local garage to diagnose the charging system - it has failed to charge the battery so it will likely be a faulty alternator or electrical connection that is rusted - charging systems can be diagnosed at any local garage - good luck
Thanks for that 👍 much appreciated
I’m on a second battery and it keeps dying on me if I don’t use it for a week or so, but the other cars I got don’t have that issue.
Sorry for the late reply - needs a battery drain test - what was the problem?
@@carquestions update: got in an accident last month and the car is totaled so this isn’t an issue. Lol.
But the problem was the battery. The bumper to bumper didn’t want to honor the 2 year agreement so I got one at advanced auto parts and it worked like a charm.
ya my battery die tonight now i have to go get a new one i did not know it was dieing it will not start when i try all the lights go out telling me my battery is dead but when i don't try to start it all the lights come on i dont get it but when i try to start it all the lights go out
I got the fixd code reader it shows the battery Voltage
Well the answer to that would be that when the pcm senses a drop in voltage below a set point, (only known to Chrysler engineering) between itself and the battery directly then the light would come on - besides the "check bulb" feature which only comes on when using remote start.
13.6 Volts below that triggers the battery light
Right next to the gear display is where mines is
do i need to visit dodge for computer scan or it can be done by random workshop
+scaniceyes Dealer would be the best bet - their scan tool shows more
I've got a 2011 Limited 5.7 Hemi and I've never had a single problem with it. I don't know why everyone is cutting it up so bad.
Cuzi I have had several problems with mine....you are lucky
Cuzi did u work out what it was? My jeep has done the same thing
Was this error ever fixed by Chrysler?
Later jeeps seem to have this issue fixed
Next time I go to the dealer for my oil change I'm going to ask the tech what triggers the light
So check this out I have a 2011 laredo 3.6, I took my belt off no light I disconnected the battery cable now I get a light reconnect light goes off either it is a glitch or it works in a strange way.
My 2013 Grand Cherokee has a battery indicator. It didn't warn me though until the alternator was dead. I just replaced the alternator and the battery... Started driving home and the battery light came back on. So I am at a loss.
what happened next? how did you fix it?
@@santaclaus1793 the alternator fried the computer/many electrical components. I ended up trading-in due to the "deal" the dealer gave me to not require them to replace the computer since they were at fault (they replaced the alternator a second time and didn't check to see if it was working properly - or half checked). They gave me full value for the 2013 and gave me a credit towards a newer Jeep for what the computer would have cost me. I upgraded to a 2016 then bought a 2021 last October. Love it!!
Hi i have a 2012 grand cherokee overland and about 2 weeka ago the battery died with no warning or anything so my husband replaced it amd at first it did start but the next day it was just cranking and did not start so we took the battery back and they gave us another ome because it was defective. That day we replaced it the truck worked fine all day it satrted right away until the next day it did the same thing it takes forever to start it makes all kind of wierd noises when trying to start it and after a while it starts. Do you know what could be the problem with my jeep?? Thanks
Just a guess Claudia - but the alternator could be defective - also check the cars computer for fault codes
carquestions ... I have a 2009 jeep grand Cherokee and when I crank it up it starts to sputter then cut off but when I crank it up again it cranks with no problem.... what causes it to do that
alternator
Did you ever have a problem with the Jeep Grand Cherokee die when coming to a stop or slowing down. It has been very dangerous, and I can't find an answer. I have a 2011 Jeep GC Overland
Any help would be much appreciated.
Csweat4204 I have 2013 jgc v6. I have same problem. Some say crank sensor or throttle body issue
I have had my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee for 9 years. I bought it used in 2013 with 205K + miles. Something has been draining the battery for years. We finally got a new battery....waited because when checked they would tell us it was good. Not long after, the battery started draining again. I would crank it every few days in hope's to keep it going. It did not drain for a long while, but now it is turning over but not cranking. I stoo after a few seconds, wait a few seconds and try again. Cranks on second it third try. New battery installed and it's still doing it. So, why now is iy lagging in starting?? I'm fed up, but otherwise, I have loved driving it and the way it handles.
@@jodicubbler761 These vehicles have a TIPM system. A circuit board with relays for important things like the fuel pump. Over time the relay can stick (fuel pump never shuts off) or not work at all. In old cars you would pull the relay and replace. These vehicles you need to replace the TIPM or repair it with a soldering iron to remove and replace the fuel pump relay.
Carquest how can I tell if my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo is having vapor lock issues.?
Vapor lock is impossible with new vehicles such as your jeep - you have another problem like a bad fuel pump
My question to you is... Why would you knowingly remove your accessory drive belt and start your car. Your water pump is no longer working and the coolant in your brand new engine block is going to overheat and could cause serious damage. Don't do that again
You can google this and find people complaining about the light coming on and a picture of the light as well. I wouldn't trust the video.
i have a 2002 jeep cherokee i got a new battery after one year dead no warning at all from my car.now i am having a problem.my problem is, it starts then dies,key light is the only light on the dash.she does go but when i stop at a store she will only start and die right away.
+helen churchill Helen you need to have a mecahnic check the cars computer for fault codes then see if there is any and start troubleshooting from that point
This shit just happened to me yesterday at Lowes when I left my wife and 2 year old in my 2014 GC running. I come back to the car and frog brains is sitting there with my son roasting to death in the 100 degree heat. There was absolutely no warning anything was wrong and I'm still not 100% sure what happened. At first I thought it was the alternator because it cut off while the car was running and then the power went out but after getting towed home ( $125) I charged the battery and everything looks good when measuring with a multimeter. I wish I had measured before I cleaned the battery terminals so I could know for sure it wasn't the tiny bit of corrosion on there I cleaned or the loose cable I tightened up. If it was that, wouldn't the alternator keep the car running at idle? I'm thinking it had to be that or the belt which I've never replaced and I bought it used almost 4 years ago. The belt wasn't making any noise or giving me any symptoms though. I checked and it's spinning the alternator. Is it common for them to be bad and slip over the alternator without making noise long enough to drain the battery and then begin working again?
Sorry to hear TJ - yes some cars will run on alternator some won't - and yes alternators can go bad and still spin fine. -
You know when your belt comes off and if you don’t notice or know the signs of the belt coming off then I blame your father.. lol
Your AC is going to stop blowing cold (compressor not spinning) you lose power steering (unless it’s a vehicle with electric motor assisted steering instead of belt driven pump, and you hear a belt come off or break “usually” Bc it’ll get wrapped up on the harmonic balancer or get into the electric fans... makes all kinds of noise.
Guessing you don't believe in early warning systems like TPMS, colling system lights etc - they are the law and should work - otherwise you are paying for what exactly?
@Plague02 Maybe true - but there is no getting around the fact it must light up as a bulb check when turned to on - check your Us law 49 CFR 571.101 S5.3.1 - you have to admit Chrysler goofed here - tell me why every other vehicle will do it when you turn the key on but Jeeps don't have too?
There is an indicator that shows up briefly. )⚡( < looks like that in red in the bottom left side of the information panel.
@@daibalee369 That symbol means your ETC (electronic throttle control) has a problem - the red battery symbol is the one that needs to display if the alternator or battery isn't charging

I got my Jeep Grand Cherokee overland in 2020. It's a 2011. And had been randomly turning off but the dealership said they're isn't a recall for it. It's randomly turned off while I was driving 75 mph. Very scary. How do I get it fixed without selling my soul?

Mine died last night on top of a mountain, but the battery light did come on
Sorry for the late reply - Thanks and cheers from Canada !
@carquestions I'll give you that, on a stone cold engine for very short amount of time it would most likely not be a problem. I wouldnt have mentioned it so abruptly but your temperature gauge indicated you were right up at normal operating temperature so I just wanted to make sure nobody went around for test drives without their water pump attached... not like it would be very easy without the power steering.
@rockyjrlv Tell them you are going to make a complaint to NHTSA
will do
Nice catch, Mark. How did you stumble upon this?
you said "this vehicle" was recalled? But its a 2011?
If you turn the car on accessories the battery light will show on dash

Thanks 👍🏼 Ill call jeep on monday and see what they have to say, there was a recall on some models for this problem i believe but mine isnt on the VIN list.
All, if you are having the stall issue with your vehicle still. Please report to NHTSA and Center for Automotive Safety and Chrysler. This Sh***Y fix did not fix the issue and my car still stalls to date. All please file complaint so Chrysler can be held accountable.
When you say, Finally Recalled", what do you mean?? We have 2011 jeep grand Cherokee and have charging issues. The dealer said, nope, no recall!
The 2 recalls involve changing the alternator - but only for 2012 to 2014 - see NHTSA numbers 14V634000 and
17V435000 - your car most likely has this problem so get the documents, read them and fight with the dealer to cover it and threaten to make a complaint to NHTSA to expand the recall
Question., is just changing the alternator to another one, the solution? thanks
Not all the time. It's a very broad and lot of dealer wiggle room. There are recalls for alternator P60 and T36
P60 came out in 2013, i believe, and T36 in 2017, the former encompassed more, the PCM, Lot of wiggle room. let me know what happens. I'm on my third alternator....lol
Folks! There is an idiot light.. It's red and looks like a battery in the lower left corner of the display. It lights up when the battery is failing.
The problem TVNINJA - yes the light is there but it won't come on when the battery fails! Hence the title

Like I said before PIPE DREAM . MY TUNDRA is hands down the best I ever driven even at 11 years old it's been super reliable . Not like the big hunk a shit we sell here . I also have an 2005 fx4 and guess what ? It too is a hunk of shit . Cab corners rotted out been through two fuel driver modules , a broken spark plug cause the Genuis at Ford wanted to use a really long spark splug? It still runs but nothing holds up in the body it a pile of rust and I also noticed it's a hazard to drive cause the Main mounts that hold the body to the chassis is starting to rotting from the salt in the midwest. Another junk car
Toyota beats Jeep hands down for dependability every time
