2014 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1478401

Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2014

Description of the problem	This incident regards the t-36 recall issued by fiat/chrysler, which involves 2012-2014 jeep grand cherokees (among others), and "affects vehicles equipped with electro-hydraulic power steering systems, 5. 7l or 3. 6l engines, and 160, 180, or 220 amp alternators. In those vehicles, nhtsa says that the alternator may fail without warning." during june 2018, my 2014 jeep grand cherokee (summit trim), experienced sudden alternator failure while in motion on a highway. The alternator started to smoke, and by the time i had reached my destination, there was grey smoke barreling out of the hood of my car and the battery was completely dead. The jeep had to be towed to a nearby dealership for repairs. In addition to the alternator and battery replacment, the tensioner, idler and serpentine belt had to be replaced due to undue strain placed on them by the alternator failure. The incident that occurred matches the description of the t-36 recall. Additionally, the year, make, engine size, and amperage of the alternator all match the description given in the t-36 recall. However, the vin number for my particular jeep did not appear under the recall, and therefore, jeep/chrysler would not repair my jeep under that particular recall. They did fix the jeep, but at my cost (the owner). I 100% believe this an oversight by jeep/chrysler (or maybe nhtsa) and should be remedied immediately. I do believe there are other jeep owners that are unaware of this issue, due to the lack of notification by jeep/chrysler, and will experience the same issue, which could cause an accident and lead to injury. Please review the details of my jeep vin and why it was not included in the t-36 recall. If this happened to my jeep, then i imagine it will happen to others. Fortunately, i was not injured, but others could be injured who are unaware of this issue. Please contact me with any questions. *tt

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
