There is an “thumping” noise in my dash of my vehicle, as well as a rocking sensation after coming to a stop. I took it to the dealership where they replicated it and determined it to be motor mounts that had failed. It is available if it needs to be inspected by a jeep field inspector.
We noticed the "battery" indicator light was lit, so we changed the battery. That addressed the light, but soon it lit up again, followed by an overheated engine warning so we stopped and called for a tow to Puente Hills Jeep. We were informed it was a pulley so it was replaced along with the serpentine belt.
The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 55 MPH, the check engine warning light started flashing. The engine was misfiring, and the vehicle lost motive power.
Defroster and heat rarely work. On multiple occasions, the heater does not work and just blows cold air. It is not reliable to defrost the windows and blow hot air. Tested on August, 29th, September 5th, September 6th, September 10, September 11
I am writing because I am beyond frustrated with the treatment I’ve received from Gwinnett Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (5054 U.S. 78, Stone Mountain, GA 30087 ). I have been a long‑time Jeep customer, and I cannot believe everything that has been going on. This situation has become untenable, and I demand a resolution immediately.
