2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Electrical Problems

Your airbag warning light came on, and a shop diagnosed a problem with the driver's airbag squib (ignition mechanism) or clockspring in your steering column. You found a recall (NHTSA Campaign ID 09V118000) that covers this exact issue for 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokees and should be repaired free of charge, but the Chrysler dealership told you there's no recall on your vehicle and you'd have to pay out of pocket. The recall specifically covers wiring problems that could prevent the driver's airbag from deploying properly in a crash. The repair involves inspecting the airbag squib wires and replacing the steering column control module.

Your car won't start when you press the ignition button, and this happens randomly without warning. Even with a new battery installed, the problem persists—sometimes you have to wait an unpredictable amount of time before the engine will crank and start. The issue has also caused your car to stall while driving, making it unreliable for trips since you can't predict when it will fail to start or shut off.

Your key fob gets stuck in the ignition and won't release properly—you sometimes have to hit above the ignition or wait an hour for it to eject. After the dealership mentioned replacing the WIN module, you've noticed the radio stays on after removing the key, dashboard lights remain lit, and the car acts like the key is still inserted. More concerning, while driving your car has started glitching with strange sounds from the computer and has powered down completely, leaving the battery dead and unable to start even with a jump. The electrical system may need complete diagnosis and repair of the ignition module and related wiring, possibly including battery replacement.

Your car's ignition key became stuck and wouldn't turn properly when you tried to start it while parked. The key would get stuck intermittently in the ignition cylinder, though no warning lights appeared on your dashboard. You discovered this matches a known electrical system issue (NHTSA Campaign 14V567000), but your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in that recall. The fix will likely involve replacing or servicing the ignition cylinder and electrical contacts.

Your Jeep's WIN module (wireless ignition node) has failed, which controls your vehicle's ignition and starting system. This could prevent your car from starting or cause intermittent starting problems. The module will likely need to be replaced to restore normal operation.

Your vehicle is stalling unexpectedly while driving at various speeds and sometimes fails to start. You'll see an electronic throttle warning light on the dashboard when this happens. A dealership replaced the wiring harness, but the problem came back multiple times. The issue may be related to the electrical system or throttle control components.

Your key fob falls out of the ignition when you hit bumps, causing the engine to shut off completely and leaving you without power steering or brakes. Additionally, your key sometimes gets stuck and won't release from the ignition, forcing you to leave the car running, which has drained your battery multiple times. The key usually releases after you hear a clicking noise. This ignition switch may need to be replaced or repaired to fix both the retention issue and the electrical contact problem.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (GOLLING CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 2405 S TELEGRAPH RD, BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI 48302, (248)-334-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2009 WITH THE EXACT ISSUE AS THE 2010. PLEASE REFERENCE BELOW FOR SAFETY RECALL/CONCERN: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V200000 REMEDY: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE WIN MODULE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE AUGUST 23, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. NOTES: CHRYSLER'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS K08.

4 ISSUES: 1.VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY AFTER THE KEY FOB HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO GET OUT AND DISENGAGE THE BATTERY FOR IT TO START AGAIN. 2. KEY FOB WILL COME OUT OF IGNITION WHEN IT IS TURNED TO ACCESSORY. 4. KEY FOB IS ABLE TO COME OUT WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING. 3. SOMETIMES KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION IF IT LOCKS UP. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM WITH JEEPS BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT MY VEHICLE. I DID HAVE IT FIXED AT THE JEEP DEALER BUT IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AFTER $600.00 . THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE WHEN THE KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION BEFORE TURNING VEHICLE OFF.

CAR IN PARK, REMAINS ON AFTER KEY HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND REMOVED. KEY IS NEW AND REPLACED THIS YEAR. APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE IGNITION/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

09 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ELECTRICAL ISSUE - SECOND OCCURRENCE: LOST ALL DASH GAUGES, SPEEDOMETER, LIGHTING, RADIO, TURN SIGNALS, NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEAT/AC WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER WITH THE ISSUE SHOWING. I WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, I HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER OVERNIGHT. IT APPEARS THE DEALER DID NOT LOOK AT THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. DEALER RETURNED THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT TO NHTSA.

WHILE DRIVING, THE IGNITION SWITCH GOES INTO ACCESSORY AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF..JEEP HAS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS SCARED THE "H" OUT OF MY WIFE YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ACROSS A BRIDGE GOING TO WORK. SHE WAS TRAVELING APROX. 45 MPH ACROSS A STRAIGHT BRIDGE. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO MYSELY LAST YEAR WHILE ON THE PA TURNPIKE IN TRAFFIC. I PUT THE FLASHERS ON AND SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED THE JEEP WITHOUT MUCH SERIOUS PROBLEMS. BUT NOW A SECOND TIME !!! I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS

AT TIMES, THE IGNITION SWITCH TURNS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, WHEN STARTING, THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL, AT TIMES, TURN OFF, RESULTING IN A FAILURE TO REMAIN RUNNING.

I PURCHASED A USED 2009 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE SAME DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 10+ TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON, ELECTRICAL. CLEARLY CHRYSLER IS AWARE THERE IS AN ISSUE, AS THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY PICKED UP THE REPAIR TAB SINCE I STARTED AN ACTUAL CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WILL START THE VEHICLE UP TO TEN TIMES NO PROBLEM, THEN STOP SOMEWHERE COME BACK TO START VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT JUST WONT START. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS DRAGGED THEIR FEET SO FAR, AND THEIR FOLLOW UP HAS BEEN POOR AT BEST. ALL THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE IS CONTINUE TO RE DIAGNOSE THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM EACH TIME AS I THE CONSUMER CONTINUE TO PAY THOUSANDS FOR THE FAULTY ELECTRICAL, AND CHEAP PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN ENGINEERED IN MY TRUCK. ONCE AGAIN, THE CONSUMER FOOTS THE BILL FOR CORPORATE AMERICAS SHORTCOMINGS. THEIR IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLERS WIRELESS IGNITION CYLINDER, VERY SIMILAR TO THE GM RECALL ON IGNITIONS IF YOU ASK ME. NOW I HAVE NO VEHICLE AGAIN AS I SIT HERE WAITING FOR CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING, COMPLETELY ON CHRYSLERS TIME CLOCK. FOR WHAT WE SPEND ON THESE VEHICLES TODAY, THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICE PROVIDED BY JEEP AND CHRYSLER HAVE MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT IN THE NEXT 30 YEARS THAT I PURCHASE VEHICLES DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OF PARTS, AND THE TERRIBLE FOLLOW UP AND SERVICE BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION... *TR

WHILE I AM DRIVING THE KEY WILL FLIP BACK, THUS SHUTTING THE CAR OFF WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, HITTING BUMPS, AND SIMPLY DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD. EVERYTHING WILL LOCK UP, CAN NOT STEER, I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY THE CAR STALLED AND HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE CAR TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AFTER STOPPING FOR FEW MINUTES. THE CAR DEALERSHIP COULD NOT IDENTIFIED FAILURE CODE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IS AUGUST 2013 AND MOST RECENTLY ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2013. THE LAST TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM WAITING FOR THEIR DIAGNOSES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTH TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) AND I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE OF THE THREE LANE LOCAL LANES. I DRIFTED TOO FAR TO THE LEFT AND HIT THE RUMBLE STRIPS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IMMEDIATELY, MY TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY. APPARENTLY, MY TPMS SENSOR ON THE TIRE BROKE AND WAS LETTING AIR OUT OF MY TIRE. WHAT HAPPENED WAS, THE METAL SCREW THAT IS AROUND THE METAL VALVE STEM SHEERED OFF AND NOTHING WAS HOLDING THE VALVE STEM/TPMS IN PLACE EXCEPT FOR THE AIR PRESSURE INSIDE THE TIRE. WHEN I RAN OVER THE RUMBLE STRIP, IT MUST HAVE DISLODGED THE SENSOR AND STARTED LETTING AIR OUT OF MY TIRE. I WENT TO A TIRE SHOP AND THEY FOUND A BROKEN TPMS SENSOR AND THEY REPLACED THE VALVE STEM WITH A STANDARD NON-TPMS VALVE STEM. MY TIRE WAS UNDAMAGED AND IS BACK ON THE RIM, SO IT WAS 100% A PROBLEM WITH THE TPMS SENSOR. FURTHERMORE, LAST YEAR, I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I GOT A FLAT TIRE AND MY TPMS WAS DAMAGED. NOW, LOOKING BACK, I FEEL THAT THE TPMS MUST HAVE FAILED CAUSING MY FLAT TIRE. IN THAT INCIDENT, MY TIRE WAS DESTROYED BECAUSE OF THE FLAT. I NOTICE NOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS A NEWER VERSION OF THEIR TPMS SENSORS THAT GO ON THE WHEEL. THE NEW VERSION HAS A RUBBER VALVE STEM, WHILE THE ONES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE A METAL VALVE STEM. OBVIOUSLY, CHRYSLER HAS FOUND AN ISSUE WITH THE METAL ONES AND HAVE UPDATES THEIR PARTS. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND EVEN THOUGH I AM OK, I CAN FORSEE THIS CAUSING MAJOR PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE MY REMAINING TPMS SENSORS REPLACE AT NO COST TO ME. *TR

JEEP CHEROKEES STALL WHILE BEING DRIVEN....THEY CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING...THE REASON THEY CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION IS DUE A WIRING HARNESS DESIGN FLAW, BUT JEEP IS KEEPING THIS MATTER A SECRET AND THEY DENY THEY HAVE A PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY...SOMEONE OR SOME AGENCY NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER IN ORDER TO SEE HOW SERIOUS AND WIDESPREAD THIS PROBLEM IS, SURF THE INTERNET AUTO SITES REGARDING ALL THE JEEP CHEROKEES THAT STALL OUT WHILE BEING DRIVEN. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ON THE NEWS THAT A DRIVER WAS KILLED WHEN HIS OR HER CHEROKEE STALLED CAUSING A MASSIVE WRECK AND DEATHS....THAT IS WHY I AM REPORTING THIS MATTER. *TR
