2009 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — Complaint #1397034
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:VALVE filed August 2, 2017
NHTSA complaint #1397034 (ODI reference 11012397) concerns a 2009 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE and was filed on August 2, 2017. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 27, 2017. The vehicle had 102,850 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to New Jersey based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:valve, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE cohort independently describe similar tires:valve failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2009 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
