While driving down the road my active headrest randomly deployed and hit me hard in the back of the head. When I went to look at it to reset (because there had been no accident or collision) I saw that the plastic locking pins had broken. I researched the issue and saw that there was already a MOPAR recall for the same issue on the same year and model vehicle I have, but my VIN is not listed as an affected VIN so Jeep will not honor the recall for my product.

On November 6, 2025 at 11:59 AM, the active head restraint on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited deployed without impact as I adjusted the driver’s seat into an upright position. This was a spontaneous mechanical deployment inside the cabin of a stationary vehicle. The dealership confirmed this as a known failure involving the internal plastic retaining clip that holds the deployment pin. This defect was previously covered under a 10-year extended warranty that expired in November 2024. At the time of the incident, I was alone in the vehicle. I later sought medical evaluation for head, neck, shoulder, and lower back pain and was diagnosed with a cervical strain. Because this failure occurs without collision, it presents a serious risk of injury to drivers and passengers. I regularly spend time with elderly individuals in personal, non-commercial contexts and occasionally transport others in my personal vehicle. In such a population, an in-cabin mechanical deployment of this force could cause catastrophic injury. The manufacturer and warranty programs have declined to assist with repair due to expiration despite acknowledging this as a known defect. Estimated repair cost is approximately $1,000. I am submitting this report for documentation, safety tracking, and defect pattern analysis.

Injuries: 1

Was getting ready to go to town, opened back seat for daughter to get into vehicle, and all of a sudden the front seat headrest popped out. Was very scary. Thankfully no one was in the front seat when it happened. I could only imagine there would have been some pain/injury sustained if they were. There were no warnings. No other malfunctions. Headrest is not able to be "clicked" back into place as a bracket is broken inside. There has not been any investigation by manufacturer, police or insurance reps.

Oct 07, 2025

We were driving this weekend and the headrest components failed and blew it apart. It shoved my husbands head forward really hard. We pulled over and tried to fix it but all the pieces are snapped inside of it. From our understanding that is a safety feature that is supposed to happen in a crash but we were not in a crash, just doing 55 mph down the road. It was not inspected by anyone yet but from reading online forums this seems to be a common occurrence.

The monostable shifter malfunctions constantly. Safety-related concerns include it not staying in park when parked, rolling has occurred; not being able to start due to it not actually being in park; it will switch gear while driving and vehicle will go into limp mode and shut off within seconds, then will not be able to restart. I cannot count on it starting or getting me anywhere safely and have towed multiple times now. The problem has unfortunately not been reproduced or realized by local dealership even with ‘service shifter’, ‘until you reach a desired location you may not be able to shift again NO BUS’, and engine light warning lights appearing when driven. It has been taken twice to John Hiester Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Sanford. (NC). I have spoken with Jeep Customer Care to no avail and the answer is take to a certified dealership but that option is proving to not be successful. I purchased in February 2025 but became disabled right after and haven’t realized it’s very major issues. Not being able to use my vehicle is quite isolating [XXX].

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the vehicle jerked, and the transmission unexpectedly shifted into neutral. An unknown warning light flashed on the instrument panel. In addition, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The contact waited for a few minutes. The vehicle restarted and the vehicle functioned as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. However, no cause for the failure was found. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. Upon investigation, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V447000 (POWER TRAIN). However, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure recurred, and the vehicle was parked and no longer driven due to safety concerns. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The component in question is the rear drive shaft. It has been losing speed as I travel on roads and the highways. When accelerating from a stop sign or red light, the vehicle seems to not want to move. It takes a few seconds for the computer to realize the car is in motion. Once it picks up speed, there are three (3) knocks that occur. It makes the vehicle jerk hard and sway sometimes. The next component is the transfer case. It puts the four-wheel in progress to be shifted. The four-wheel drive makes a popping noise when the vehicle comes to a stop and is shut off. It continues to keep shifting from two-wheel to four-wheel to two-wheel without even using the controls. While pulling out from a car lot, I made a right turn. The vehicle acted as if it did not want to go, and the front end started jerking and making a popping noise. Also, when riding on the highway, the front end shakes terribly. My safety was at risk because the vehicle acts up while pulling into traffic or riding on the road. Sometimes, I have my grandkids in the vehicle with me. They are my most precious packages when they ride with me. The problem of the drive shaft has been confirmed by a dealerships service department, my mechanic, and the mechanics of the dealership I purchased the vehicle from. Has not been inspected by the police, insurance reps, or the manufacturers. There were times when the service message for the four-wheel drive came on. It was an issue trying to find a place to do the service.

My TCM (Transmission Control Module). Yes. While driving my jeep kept shifting into Nuetral all by itself and I would have to shift back into Drive. This is going into my jeep dealer on 8-5 and put on the diagnostic test. It was only checked out by plugging in the meter and this is the code that came back. Has not been inspected by police, insurance, Jeep dealer as of yet until 8-5-25. Yes it went from shifting g into Nuetral by itself to Slow g down on its own and it happened most recently on a major interstate with an 18 wheeler behind me and almost rear ended me. As I gave it gas it wouldn’t go I rolled to side of road. This was the 5th time this happened to me. It all started back in beginning of July. The check engine light came on.

Jeep recalled the oil cooler as it can crack and cause leaking into the coolant yet the problem still persists. This can be inspected on my vehicle at any time. Jeep is claiming that since it was “repaired” (recalled) this is a customer problem. I have been quoted over 10k to fix a problem that was never correct from the recall Jeep performed. Jeep has failed in this recall remedy and are pushing customers to fix repairs as a result of their failed actions. Failed oil coolers can cause the vehicle to catch fire which could burn down someone’s home if the car catches fire while parked in a garage or structure. The nearby Jeep dealer called and confirmed that the issues I am currently having is a result of the cracked and recalled replacement oil cooler. There are countless number of people online how have also had the same issue and been told by Jeep and dealerships that this is now a customer responsibility because they provided a “warranty” in addition to the recall. The warranty is a result of a class action law suit against Jeep for emissions issues. I did not and do not have any warning light on my vehicle. I just had evidence of coolant leaking with a coolant smell when in front of the vehicle.

Engine light came on: took in for service. The dealer recommends replacing a damaged Intake Manifold for $2,247. 33. It appears there are recalls on these for same year as my vehicle involving both Jeep and Ram Trucks. However My vin does not fall into the recall? I find this odd and I understand there has to be a cut off, but i believe my vehicle was made around the same time and I don’t think Chrysler was aware of the problem until later… I also have Engine Oil cooler leaking which I am unsure if it is related, but now I have extensive repairs for Coolant flushing/ radiator hoses and coolant hoses, metal fuel lines, and thermostat… I am just disappointed that a recall is valid on the same model and year as mine, I was unaware and now I have a $8,570.40 quote to get this fixed. I am wondering if the EGR cooler failure has led to this massive problem as I am aware the engine oil cooler and EGR cooler are releated along with manifold function/ efficiency. Now I have Oil and coolant mixing in my system… If my eco diesel jeep were included in the original recall, I may not be dealing with this unexpected visit.

The dealership says that they repair the open recall, but it still shows that the issue hasn’t been fixed.

Jan 02, 2026

I purchased a used 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. The seller claimed the mileage was around 76,800 at the time of sale. After the purchase, a vehicle history report (Carfax/AutoCheck) showed that the actual mileage was approximately 223,000. This means the odometer reading was rolled back or misrepresented. The title paperwork shows a false mileage disclosure. This problem puts consumers at risk because the true condition of the vehicle is hidden, making it unsafe to rely on maintenance records or expected performance. It is also a violation of federal odometer laws. The issue has been confirmed by the vehicle history report, and all documents are available for inspection if requested.

While driving on the interstate suddenly my jeep switched gears I was able to put back in drive and pull over. After pulling over and jeep being put in park it wouldn’t go back into drive, after 3 attempts turning car off and back on again it finally shifted to drive. I was able to at least get home and put it in garage. It now will not go into reverse at all, I try frequently, this happened a few months ago, I also called and reported issue but was never told I had to get online and fill out a form etc. I can’t afford to pay for this big of a repair. It seems this issue has occurred on several 2014 jeeps. This was extremely scary and unsafe to say the least even more so with my kids in the car. I hope I can get this taken care of and finally have a vehicle again.

Seat belt retracted D rings cracked. Seat belt will not retract

Feb 02, 2026

The seat belt does not retract. There is a crack where the seat belts enter the post and compresses the seat belt. I took it to the dealer and they would love to fix it but there are no parts available so they can not do anything. In summary we use the seatbelt only as a decoration piece so we do not get ticket it by non-using a seat belt. I asked the dealer if I could try to fix it my myself but he believes I will void the warranty. Not having a seatbelt is a major safety issue, that's why I write to you. Suggestion: (1) or Mopar gets the parts available to the dealer or (2) we do not penalized the user for trying to fix it. This is my wife car [XXX] ) she is [XXX] /o.

I am reporting an unresolved safety recall issue on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (VIN: [XXX] ). On February 1, 2025, I brought my vehicle to Chapman Dodge Chrysler Jeep (3470 Boulder Highway) after being informed that the driver’s seatbelt retractor was part of a safety recall and needed replacement. I was initially told the replacement part would arrive within 10 days. However, more than five months later, the seatbelt remains unrepaired. My wife and I have called the dealership multiple times—she called five times and I called once. Each time we were promised a follow-up call when the part arrived, but none was ever made. On June 9, the dealership told us a new part order had been placed 2–3 weeks earlier from a new supplier, and that the sales associate Armando (“Mondo”) would follow up. No update was provided to me directly. On July 9, we were told the part was ordered again and messages were left with Mondo to contact us, but as of today, no one has reached out. Throughout this process, I have felt dismissed and the safety of the non-functional seatbelt— which hangs limp and offers no protection—has not been prioritized. I never received an official recall notice from Jeep, and I am left with a vehicle unsafe to drive with no clear timeline for repair. I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance in addressing this ongoing safety concern, as the dealership has failed to resolve the recall in a timely manner and the delay poses a significant risk.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

51 complaints

Component/System Failure: The internal fuel pump relay within the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM-7) failed. This component is not available for inspection as it is an internal board-mounted relay, but the dealership-installed External Bypass Relay (Part #CBWPR091AA) and the failed fuel pumps are documented on the attached service invoice. Safety Risk: The failure caused an unpredictable engine stall at highway speeds in heavy traffic. This resulted in a complete loss of motive power while moving, creating an immediate risk of a rear-end collision and leaving the vehicle stranded in a live lane of traffic. Confirmation: The technician documented a terminal 'static pressure drop' to 35 PSI (Spec is 58 PSI). Based on this confirmed low-pressure state, the dealer required the replacement of both the Main Fuel Pump and the Siphon/Auxiliary Transfer Pump, alongside the installation of the External Bypass Relay Kit (Part #CBWPR091AA) to restore safe operation." Inspection: The vehicle was inspected and repaired by the authorized manufacturer representative (Larson Chrysler Jeep). I have also opened a formal case with Stellantis Corporate (Case # 96059987). Warning Symptoms: There were no warning lamps, MIL messages, or starting issues prior to the initial stall. The 'Long Crank' and failure-to-start symptoms occurred immediately after the highway-speed stalls. The vehicle would not restart until it had sat for a period of time, indicating a thermal failure (heat soak) of the internal fuel pump relay. This resulted in the vehicle being stranded in live traffic multiple times while waiting for the component to cool and allow a restart "Note: The attached repair invoice from Larson Jeep contains a clerical typo in the VIN (listing a 'D' instead of a 'B').

When I accelerate the fuel pedal to the floor the more it cuts out it did that before the recall on the high pressure fuel pump and it's doing it after supposedly it was replaced. The dealership replaced injectors, fuel rails, fuel filters, all new tubing kit, and most important high pressure fuel pump, upon inspection the dealership only replaced High fuel pressure pump and did not perform the work this is the second time I informed you about this issue. I am so highly concerned not only from my safety but safety of others if they've done this to me the dealership will do it to anyone. I hired an attorney to investigate until these illegal activities and I will be going in front of the Attorney General on this matter. I have a highly concerned issue with this vehicle the admissions is terrible the soot that goes into that engine it's ruining it at 138,000 miles my biggest issue is the exhaust gets in the vehicle with all the windows shut and I get sick on that DEF fluid that burns out the exhaust somehow someway it's getting in the vehicle and it's getting me sick I've already brought this to the attention of the manufacturer and he said the motors are junk and they should be recalled immediately this is my second complaint and no results

Oil filter housing failure, this caused oil to be expelled all over the engine compartment. The oil could have hit hot exhaust and caused a fire, engine lost power due to no oil. Taken to Jeep dealer and they told me this is a common issue on this style motor. No symptoms prior to part failure.

May 28, 2024

While driving at about 50 mph, the transmission shifted into neutral and would not allow me to shift it back into drive while moving or stopped. This put me in a very dangerous situation as I was in traffic and in the left lane on a 4-lane road. After about 10 minutes of the engine being shut off, it started again and ran just fine. A check engine light did come on, giving error code P0205 and U0002-88 when scanned. I believe the latter code is a stored code from a previous issue. No warning lights were on immediately prior to the incident. This is the second time it has happened in the span of about 4 months. The mechanic was not able to diagnose the cause after the first occurrence. After the second occurrence, the local Jeep dealer was contacted; they were not aware of any such issues and recommended adding fuel injector cleaner and changing the spark plugs/getting a tune up. The dealer did not inspect the car. The next day the check engine light went off, though the code may be stored in the car’s memory.

Vechicle returns to limp mode. Almost causing several accidents on interstate. Engine 3.6. variable valve timing enough jeep at one time offered a longer warranty. Replaced cams,heads,phasers,oil pump,computer,timing chain,timing gears, over 9000.00 parts and labor. Mopar parts very problematic with the varible timing valve train.after problems in timing was fixed, there now is a oil pressure problem. Master mechanic credentials worked on vechicle several time and hour to try to fix problems. Mechanic now say only way to make vechicle safe at this point is to put a new engine in.this will cost over 13000 dollars over the 9000.00. I have already spent. Scariest part of this vechicle is when on a 70mph interstate and vechicle goes to a top speed of 40mph.

7/2020 lifters and cam failure @65k miles. 4+ weeks dealership did repairs. They never disclosed the major engine repair or gave me any paperwork while I waited to pick up this jeep after I purchased it. 8/2020 lifters and cam repaired. 19 miles & 1 day spun crankshaft bearings & damaged cylinder walls. 1.5 weeks for dealership to get a new Mopar 6.4 Hemi long block vvt mds engine. 8/2020 new Mopar long block 6.4 hemi installed at dealership. paid $2k since I didn't know about the dealerships concealed major repairs. 8 dealership and 3 penzoil.

Dealership said the 60/100k warranty I paid for with the previous mopar long block engine purchase was not activated ànd they had no record of it other then the work order/repair bill I have, with start date & miles and end date & miles And deductible. Jeep customer care said my jeep was imported from Canada and is void of any and all parts warranty. So that's why dealership couldn't register my jeeps engine warranty. Sale person said the jeep was USA built spec but it's a Quebec Canadian build spec imported into USA. I got the original window sticker downloaded its French & metric. So no warranty. Fraudulent sale of a gray market import with no disclosure of the major issue they tried to repair while I waited for my jeep. I already purchased it $37k but was waiting on them to prep it for sale and deal with my trade in. Low mile 2013 dodge charger RT max AWD with every option and dealership maintained.

I have to keep replacing my engine oil housing filter. I do believe I was sold a faulty engine from Carvana after I was told it was inspected thoroughly. The car isn't even at 70,000 and I've had more repairs on it than I could imagine. The engine light keeps coming on and if I have to replace the entire engine that will be up to 10,000.

Happy Wednesday: Issue 11427346 THATS MY ISSUE TOO. This is occurring with my vehicle with many others. I found out today Power Steering Fluid ran out and was empty but no leak is detected. It is the Steering rack where the fluid is going so it is undetected which can cause gears to lock up and crash since owners do not detect a leak and do not know where it is going. I got an oil change and they told me it was almost empty buy inches and to get parked ASAP until it was filed and that there is an issue. Miracle DODGE/Jeep in Gallatin, TN said there must be an issue when we went to buy the power steering fluid at a dealership since the Jeep only takes MOPAR Hydraulic fluid at 22.00 a quart. They are aware there is some issue if the fluid is empty but no leak detected by me or anyone else looking for one. This is a issue with crash potential. It could have killed me if i ran out 100% and my gears locked up. My time is spent taking my cancer stricken mother to the Drs office and had II not got an oil change? I would never know and my gears would have locked up. Many have reported. Why is this not a recall since the Steering rack being replaced is a $2000.00 cost to fix. I have 68, 500 miles on my Jeep 2014 GC Limited with low miles?. This is unheard of. First, the faulty Engine Oil sensor $450.00 to fix, then the faulty seat belt clip breaking which was covered by you all and fixed..Now? The Power steering rack eating up the Power steering fluid and leaking onto brake boots which mine look rusted so that would explain that but unseen by the driver? HELP me and others who have reported this since 2020. Make it a RECALL ASAP. Nobody has $2000 to $3000 to fix faulty issues with these Jeeps. Please HELP!. My stress levels are at an all time high from this newest issues with my Jeep. I am not sure how much more I can handle with these faulty issues. I feel like we all need to do a class action lawsuit. Thank goodness for my Oil change.

Steering rack and Pinion failure due to leaking fluid. Dealer will not cover cost. This shouldn't happen to a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with only 62k.

RE: The Power Liftgate Module Malfunction Approximately 45 days ago I began to see water build up inside the well where the liftgate locks. After seeing this twice - after it rained - I was at the dealership for an oil change and asked them to take a look. After review they suspected water intrusion, as there was a recall but not specifically on my VIN. Dealership indicated water tests were needed and I needed to drop my car off for the day or 2. They also indicated to seek your help because of the recall. I couldn't leave my car there that day. On 3/28/26 I did several water tests on the hatchback, using a hose and controlled the flow over the different sections of the hatchback in grid fashion of 6 sections. Each section I sprinkled water like a light rain and then waited 60 mins to see if the water would make it into the lock well. After checking I dried the lock well and then waited another hour to be sure no additional water came into the lock well, before continuing the process over the course of that day and the next. Each time water intruded, entered the inside of the vehicle into the lock well. After conducting research on this issue, the recall stated that this could cause a fire, and not to park the car inside of the garage or near other vehicles. As a result, the hatchback is malfunctioning, it opens and then automatically reverses, and it closes. It will not stay open and is not usable. I'd like to bring it back to the dealership for further testing however, I'd also like to get this resolved in the same visit as I'm sure they will find the same outcome of water intruding causing the electrical issues with the liftgate. Due to it being a fire hazard, I'm afraid to use my vehicle. Can you assist so I don't need to leave my one and only vehicle with the dealership for more than a day or two?

I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND CONTINUED DRIVE AND EXITED AND WENT TO A GAS STATION. I TURNED IT OFF, PUMPED GAS AND TURNED IT BACK. WHEN I TRIED TO BACK UP, IT IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK. I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALER AND ASKED WHAT IT COULD BE? THEY CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND SAID THAT RECALL FOR A SIMILAR DEFECT WAS ALREADY REPAIRED ON MY VEHICLE, MAYBE IT WAS LOW ON TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED LOOKING TO SEE IF ANY OTHER 2014 JEEPS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY VEHICLE HAS EVER DONE THAT. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE EXTREME COLD. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT.

Passenger seat, headrest deployed, spontaneously going down the road.

May 29, 2024

The passenger side headrest popped out violently by itself. Was driving up the interstate when the headrest randomly popped out. The headrest is unable to be reset. This could have been a very dangerous issue had someone been sitting in the passenger seat when the active headrest system deployed.

Nov 02, 2022

While driving normally, the passenger headrest violently shot open. Plastic clips which once held a metal rod inside the headrest can be seen stressed and broken, causing the active head restraint (AHR) systems to deploy. Several independent websites and forums show this is a known issue but there has not been a recall. There were no warning signs of an issue until this point.

Oct 30, 2022

The head rest deployed into the back of my head while driving through an intersection. No collision. No bumps. No contact. Smooth driving and then it deployed. It’s a hard and shocking deployment that hits you in the back of the head very aggressively causing my head jolt forward from the impact.

The contact stated that she avoided driving at night until she had to attend an event at night and asked her son to drive. The contact’s son also witnessed the lack of illumination on the roadway from the headlights. The contact stated that after returning to the residence, the contact’s son parked the vehicle facing a wall, and both observed that the passenger’s side headlamp was illuminating the driveway directly below and in front of the vehicle, and the driver's side headlight was illuminating the trees. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer, and the headlight assemblies were taken apart and then reinstalled and recalibrated. The contact stated that the dealer was unable to repair the headlights and stated that there was a fault in the headlamp assemblies that could not be repaired. The contact stated that the same dealer had replaced both headlamps in 2019 due to a failure to operate as needed. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,875.

On another occasion, she drove over a speed bump and the high beam headlights turned on independently. The vehicle was taking to the dealer several times but no cause for the failure was found. The manufacturer was contacted and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 59,000. The contact stated that the solution was to replace the headlight bulbs and repairs have been made.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the driver’s side headlight had become defective while in operation. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where he had both headlights replaced. After the repair, the new headlights were not adjusted to the proper calibration and the headlight would only illuminate on the side of each headlight and not forward as needed. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on numerous occasions and was informed that the new headlights could only illuminate vertically and not horizontally as needed. The contact then called Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Riverdale (1481 W Riverdale Rd, Riverdale, UT 84405) to schedule an appointment to attempt to correct the failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

HID headlight bulbs were replaced by dealer. Upon return of the vehicle I tested the light pattern at night on an unlit road and the results were not stellar. There are 2 noticeable dark areas on the roadway imparting vision and clarity of the roadway. Returned to dealer and let them drive the car at night. They told me that there are two dark areas in the light pattern and that they are caused by “burns” on the inside of both headlight lens. I was informed that they need replacement to the tune of $1300.00 each. The service manger informed me that he could try to disassemble the headlight housing and “polish” the lens with no promise of success. The area of the lens causing the distortion is directly in front of the projector portion of the housing. To me it appears to be a design or material selection issue. Also interesting is that the areas of distortion look differently in each lens, the passenger side is cloudy, whereas the driver’s is granular. Pictures are difficult to take but my best effort are included.

Complaint to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Subject: Vehicle Sold by CarMax with Open Recall Campaign Z46 in Violation of Stop-Sale Order Dear NHTSA, I am reporting CarMax for selling a vehicle affected by Recall Campaign Z46 (NHTSA ID: 22V406) in violation of the stop-sale requirement. In November 2023, I purchased a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Diesel from CarMax while it was still subject to this recall and the part needed for repair was on national backorder. CarMax failed to disclose the open recall or the serious safety implications. As a result, I experienced significant engine and DEF system problems and incurred over $3,800 in related expenses. The vehicle was eventually repossessed, and I had to borrow nearly $2,500 to recover it. In addition to these costs, I experienced credit score damage and emotional stress from the situation. I am requesting NHTSA to investigate this dealer for violating the federal stop-sale order and endangering consumers by releasing a recalled vehicle without remedy or disclosure.

My oil cooler has failed and it caused oil to mix with my coolant and also causing a bad coolant leak. It over heats to car and my warranty will not cover ANYTHING! This is a major problem with diesel jeeps and the oil cooler needs to be recalled also. It can catch on fire and is a real safety hazard. I’ve tried multiple times to fix the oil cooler and leak. Jeep will not fix my recall at all. A recall that is on the vehicle and can cause a fire!

RECALL #22V-406 Has not been replaced the part has been failing for the last 2.5 years. The stalling situation is getting worse. It does not come to a complete stall at least not while in traffic but it will start to stall and cough and sputter while under power at residential speed of 30-35 mph, city driving of 40 -50 mph, and at highway speeds of 70-75 mph. It is increasingly getting worse. We have taken the vehicle to multiple dealers only to be told that the needed repair has still not been developed yet. (the repair is to replace the HPFP before my wife and grandkids get ran over on the highway or coming out of the local grocery stores parking lot). The problem has been identified and the repair to the problem has been realized, but the manufacturer will not commit to the repair. How many people will have to be maimed or die because of this. Yes the problem has been reproduced and the manufacturer and the dealerships are aware of it. One Service Manager reported to us that he has a new truck on their lot that can not be sold because of this very issue. there is no MIL code for the decaying of the fuel system rail. Other codes can be thrown as a result but here is no standard code for it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

25 complaints

The Anti-lock braking system and the electronic traction control system are both failing. There were previous recalls on both systems that say they have been repaired, but the lights for both are constantly on. The brakes do not work fully, and it has caused me to slide down the street from my workplace. The electronic traction control system not working has caused it so that my four-wheel drive does not work, and I have gotten stuck in the snow multiple times. The car has been inspected by a repair technician. The warning lights came on right as the problem was happening.

Emergency Brake engages while driving

SUSPENSION

24 complaints

The air ride suspension failed and is available for inspection. The "Service Air Suspension Immediately" notification appeared while driving. The problem has been confirmed by Stellantis dealership. The components were inspected by the manufacturer and insurance. There was not an indication of failure prior to failing. Stellantis technician claims the air suspension experienced an electrical failure causing an internal leak on all (4) air bags. The only remedy is to replace the entire suspension system. I do not know the safety implications of this failure if I continued driving the vehicle.

Rear shocks leaked all fluid and the vehicle became very hard to control on rough surfaces. Had the shocks changed and the new ones did the same thing within one month. Now the shocks are on back order and had to be replaced with aftermarket shocks.

Jeep Grand Cherokee power steering leak! We’re having the same problem that other Jeep owners are having, the steering rack leaks on the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. The leak was discovered through regular maintenance check in 2018. We filled the reservoir with new fluid, it was fine for the entire year. It wasn’t until July 2021 that we discovered that fluid was leaking from the Steering Rack and Pinion and spraying fluid on to the engine. It got so bad that we had to fill the reservoir daily! It appears that Jeep knew about this problem since 2012 but failed to do anything about it. https://www.carproblemzoo.com/jeep/grandcherokee/steering-rack-and-pinion-problems.php https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/leaking-power-steering-rack-and-pinion-boots.73596/ This Jeep only has 55,000 miles. My wife uses it locally and it’s never driven more than 100 miles a month and it has never been driven off road. This is appalling that it suffers from this kind failure so early in the Jeeps life. When I confronted the Jeep/Chrysler company with this issue, there only response was “it’s outside the warranty timeline”. The rep name was Sade and she was rude! This Jeep was garaged kept throughout it’s life. We’ve maintained this vehicle in immaculate condition, so much so that it STILL HAS THE NEW CAR SMELL!!! Very disappointed in Jeep. They used to be very reliable until they were bought out by FIAT, Go figure!

The air ride suspension says it's stuck in off-road 2 but is visibly stuck in the lowest setting. When driving it is very bumpy, almost worse than offroading. I do t think our safety is at risk. The problem has not been looked at by any professionals or independent dealers. It has not been inspected. We can't remember the exact time we noticed the message, but roughly around December 2020- January 2021. It is not a light it is a message that pops up a handful of times while driving.

MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S AIR RIDE SUSPENSION HAS FAILED TWICE AND I ONLY HAVE 11,670 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP HAD VEHICLE BOTH TIMES IT TOOK OVER A WEEK TO COMPLETE REPAIRS. SUSPENSION JUST FAILED WAS AT ITS LOWEST LEVEL AND THERE WAS NO WARNING.

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

21 complaints

The engine and powertrain are affected by a defect described in Safety Recall 66A / NHTSA 23V-411 (loss of crankshaft position). Despite the recall software update being performed, my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to display Diagnostic Trouble Code P0336 (Crankshaft Position Sensor Performance). This issue causes intermittent stalling, hard starts, and loss of engine power, which creates a serious risk of crash if the vehicle stalls while driving. The safety defect described in the recall — tone wheel magnetic material delamination leading to crankshaft signal loss — is still present. Two diagnostic reports (one from an FCA-authorized dealership and one from an independent mechanic) confirm the presence of DTC P0336. The Service Manager at the dealership agreed this is likely recall-related but said FCA corporate must authorize hardware repair. FCA (Case #93427994) has refused to approve full repair, leaving the safety defect unresolved. The defect has been confirmed by the dealership and independent service center and persists despite the software reprogramming remedy. Warning lights (check engine) are active and the issue is repeatable.

The vehicle has been making this electrical noise inside the vehicle. The vehicle upon accelerating, would hesitate to go then jerk. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic technician. It was suggested that the vehicle TCM be replaced. It was replaced and the jerking still exist. The vehicle out of nowhere started having these unexpected electrical issues. This caused the cooling system fan to not work. I ordered a new cooling system fan and had it replaced/installed. However, these issues along with other safety concerning issues have continued to occur. This vehicle can cause significant serious injury or injuries to the owner or others. The vehicle would lock up occasionally. This model jeep (2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7L) has some safety concerns. This need to be fixed immediately before it cause catastrophic damages/injuries to others.

My JGC 2014. I was on a 5 lane interstate in the far left lane when my car started decelerating at a speed of 64mph. As I was merging into the left emergency lane it switched into neutral gear. I then proceeded to stop and put the Jeep into park and turn it off. Prior to this incident my check engine light had just illuminated a month prior and I ran a diagnostic computer test and it returned stating it was an EVAP problem. I haven’t had any systems. So I was waiting on my first check to get it taking care of (meaning no gas smell in the cabin, no fuel leaks under vehicle, no bad gas mileage). So the police came to my rescue and helped me pull the emergency neutral pull in the middle console in order to get it off closer to the median so I wouldn’t get hit until I could get a tow. Well it wouldn’t turn over again. It sounded like I had a fuel pump problem but when I went to turn it on but not over I heard my fuel pump cut on. So no problems there! So my battery started running low in voltage so I charged it with a battery pack and it got around 13 v and I unplugged it . It’s a 14 v battery. Well I got my vehicle turned in the off position the emergency neutral gear unlocked and then my windshield wipers started and the car was not on . I heard clicking in the fuse part under the hood so I found that fuse and pulled it. I think took a fuse checker and checked every fuse in my box they all had fire. On my dash it started saying system brake suspension and the check engine light was off. So I checked it with the computer diagnostic tester and it said a code of all U’s which were the ECU and the TCM and the gear shifter which was the only P.O. code. So we took my gear shift off and cleaned it and hooked it back up. It was nasty. And it would slap again but not show on my dashboard. So I reset my battery and nothing. I am so upset about this. I’ve worked on every vehicle I’ve owned and this is mind boggling. Everything is up to date and seems fine

The left bank intake camshaft and roller rockers have failed. It has cause the check engine light to come on and go off reading a misfire in cylinder 2. After costly repairs to coil packs and plugs, Chrysler is now going to replace with a cost of $1,900.00. This is the same issue in the 2013 Jeep that Chrysler extended the warranty on and won’t do it now on this year model.

Windshield wipes are malfunctioning. They come on and function by themselves without the windshield wipers being activated. Purchased the car on 5/26/2025 and issue started on 6/1/25. Took the car to the dealership on 6/2/25 to check the problem out. They couldn’t mimic the problem. Car has been back and forth to the dealership 3x since 6/2/25 trying to figure out what the issue is.

Jul 29, 2025

The dashboard of the vehicle has delaminated, with the leather covering bubbling and warping. The uneven surface causes significant glare at certain sun angles to be reflected into the eyes of the driver. The dealership has inspected the vehicle and noted that Jeep had briefly extended the warrenty on the component due to known issues, but refuses to honor a repair or replacement outside of that warrenty period. The vehicle was purchased in this condition so it is unclear when the damage occurred.

MY CARS WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY TURNED ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. EVEN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON THEY WOULD STILL NOT TURN OFF. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SWITCH AND MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE RESEARCHED IT EXTENSIVELY. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND I BELIEVE THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE.

OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS SITTING IN OUR CLOSED GARAGE FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WHEN WE WENT INTO OUR GARAGE WE NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW HAD EXPLODED OUT AND THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE. THE WINDOW IS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE EVEN ON THE EDGES. IT SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED ON ITS OWN. NO ONE WAS DRIVING OR IN IT AT THE TIME.

My youngest son was away at college, using the vehicle to go to and from class. He was driving the Jeep home for summer break when suddenly, the wipers turned on and the dashboard warning lights lit up the dash like a Christmas tree. He did not know what to do, who would? Then the dashboard went completely black. He tried turning off the wipers and then suddenly the car shifted into park in the middle of traffic all on its own, with cars on both sides. He was fortunate that he was not rear-ended and severely injured. My son is a cautious driver, as he fears any accident that could end his athletic career. He pulled over and turned the jeep off and then on and things looked normal. No more flashing dash warning lights, so he continued down the road, hazard lights on, paying close attention to vehicles around him. The dashboard warning lights were flashing repeatedly, vehicle auto shifting itself, dash going completely black and vehicle stalling in moving traffic...this happened several times on his way home. What my son experienced on the road, has happened to me several times since. It is a very frightening and dangerous experience. I believe I have been grossly misled by Chrysler Jeep Sales and continue to be misled about the soundness of my vehicle and the after reporting to the AutoNation (Chrysler Jeep) Service Department, the dangerous situation my family was in by driving my Jeep, I feel I was not dealt with fairly. Is this how they treat all customers or is it because I am Latina and a woman? With a vehicle with so many recalls, so many complaints and so many investigations by the NHTSA, it is a wonder why it is still on the road. Those who know would say, because no one has died, yet. Should that be the accepted answer or response? Should someone have to lose their life before this vehicle is taken off the road? Please see my attached document. I urge you to do a thorough investigation of these serious safety issues. (CPU, modules have been ongoing issues

The shifter system (monostable shifter/ electronic shift module) malfunctioned 4 times so far. It has been to the dealer 3 times and the following has been replaced: the electronic shift module, the shift head/knob, the electronic shift module again, and finally the wiring itself, and now 10 miles after picking up my car that was being serviced since Monday (it is Friday now), I have the same issue and it makes my car stuck in first or second gear, I cannot shift into park or out of drive unless I shut the engine off, it puts my car into limp mode and won't let me accelerate or else the car jerks, my infotainment screen intermittently shuts off, and I get the following warning lights and messages: Check engine light, Braking system light, TPMS light, traction control light, "Service Electronic Braking System" message, "Service Shifter" message with OBD code U1467, "Service Power Steering" message, "Service Transmission- Continue in D. Do not shift or turn engine off" message. The PRND lights on the shift knob also flash. This is very dangerous as my car cannot be shifted out of drive (into park), the car won't accelerate or move above whatever speed 1st gear or 2nd gear will allow me to, the car physically jerks forward, and whatever systems like power steering, braking, etc. that may be affected based on the warning lights. I only get the diagnostic code U1467 which is for the shifter, though.

OUR JEEP'S SHIFTER OCCASIONALLY REFUSES TO GO INTO "PARK" AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WILL NOT GO INTO PARK EVEN AFTER OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY HAPPEN BASED ON THE FIX IN SAFETY RECALL S27/NHTSA 16V-240. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SHIFTER BUT THE REPAIR WOULDN'T BE COVERED BECAUSE THE SAFETY RECALL WAS ONLY FOR A "SOFTWARE" ISSUE NOT A "MECHANICAL" ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER. EITHER WAY, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT WE CAN NOT SAFELY PARK OUR VEHICLE AND WE ARE EXPERIENCING SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED IN THE MENTIONED SAFETY RECALL, BUT WASN'T.

Vehicle shifts into neutral when driving down the road and then dies. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it does it everyday, sometimes it doesn't do it for 6 days. Seems to happen within 3 to 7 miles of driving the vehicle. Took to Jeep dealer to see if they could figure it out. Over a month later and $1000.00 Jeep dealer replaced the PCM Pin (?) and checked wiring. Picked up the Jeep and 6 days later on way home from work it shifts into neutral going 58 mph down the road and stalls. 30 mins before it would start back up and allow me to drive it. Never any check engine light on, never and noises or chugging, the vehicle does this with no warning and after 5 to 30 minutes will start back up like nothing happened.

I have had 2 transfer cases and now I need a transmission all in 2 years I’m so over the jeep products all done by the jeep dealership

Jul 08, 2023

While driving on the freeway at normal speed limit the vehicle has on 2 separate occasions gone into neutral without the driver touching anything. we have taken the vehicle in twice to dealership who have tried to replicate the symptom. They have kept and driven car on multiple occasions with no success . They tell us they cannot fix the problem without a code if they cannot find it. i have called jeep customer service multiple times and they filed a case number but refuse to get back to me when i leave messages. Jeep Cherokee model 2014 had 81000 recalls for a transmission software issue but not the Grand Cherokee model. This vehicle is clearly very dangerous to drive and my son who was driving nearly had a very serious accident when this happened. What am i to do. i cannot let anyone drive this vehicle . Jeep are not interested in helping the dealership get to the bottom of this issue. i cannot sell the vehicle knowing there is a critical issue with the safety of the vehicle and if someone buys it and gets hurt or killed i probably have a liability. The dealership keeps trying to find it but it may not happen again for weeks or months, like looking for a needle in a haystack. case number with Jeep is 81105546 Please help i am at a loss what to do. We have not used the vehicle since the last incident

I took my car to the dealer for the recalls. They are basically only putting a band aid on the issue. They are telling me they did both recalls but it didn't fix the issue. Klaben in Kent Ohio. They basically did just a flash on it but that didn't fix the issue (LOSS OF CRANKSHAFT POSITION). Everything I read said the reluctor wheel needs replaced and they are telling me the vehicle is too old and won't fix. This is all part of the recall. If you have any questions please call me.

I need help! Please! My car is under the X78 Extended Ecodiesel Warranty. The Government (EPA) sued FCA back in 2019 for making these cars with over 14 illegal deletes, like Volkswagen. Instead of making them buy the cars back, they let them say they would make all repairs related to this huge list of components. I’ve had nothing but problems the past almost 2 years. My jeep was at one dealership a full year. Now it’s at another dealership in Ennis Texas for about 59 days now. . My jeep went into limp in mode in front of an 18- wheeler on interstate 45, I was almost killed. I was so afraid! I sent a letter requesting they contact the manufacturer as they have said so on the paperwork. I’ve gone to get my car 4 tiles and it’s still not repaired. I get a text message on Saturday telling me my Jeep is fixed and ready? I’m not getting into that vehicle again, my daughter is having nightmares, she’s asked me please don’t drive that car again! I’ve attempted to pick this car up 4 times, it’s not fixed! Same code from 10/04 initial drop off. The same codes came back on 11/9 after they said they’ve replaced the PCM and Mass Air Flow sensor and other parts?

Two open recalls on the vehicle (6/9/22 and 6/8/23) that have no repair available. 1. Both recalls can result in immediate and unexpected loss of vehicle power and "cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning" 2. DMV (CA Registered) will not issue current registration tags or paperwork due to recalls being incomplete. 3. Vehicle has had multiple issued related Diesel Engine, including entering into limp mode unexpectedly and incomplete diesel exhaust regeneration which has made it unsafe to drive at highway speeds. I have attempted to call the dealership every month and each time they have no solution as the manufacturer has not released a repair.

Their is oil being introduced into the coolant reservoirs. Jeep Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel. The vehicle are having failed oil coolers that stemmed from the failed EGR coolers. The driving of these vehicles for over a year awaiting a fix has caused the engines to have other failures. There has been over 10 recalls on these Ecodiesels since I bought the jeep brand new in 2014. They made a deal with the EPA lawsuit and did a software patch which changed the engine function issues, they did a patch on the power train control module, transmission control module, and apparently the ECM engine control module. I’ve had nothing but “check engine” light codes in since the first patch in 2016 that they didn’t put in the records, I have the work order showing the patch. In 2019 the lawsuit the EPA approved for them, allowed them to place a new patch that caused other components to continue to malfunction like the” high pressure fuel pump now. The dealerships are saying the failures aren’t due to their negligence and are causing consumers to deal with costly repairs that’s not their faults. I got a bill for $29,000 for a new engine, they said my jeep was under extended warranty but don’t want to help foot the repairs. Also stated they would reimburse recall work that customers paid for prior to recalls coming out within 60 days, but it has taken me over 4 years to try and get reimbursed. My car is at the dealership now and has been down since April 29, 2022.

Power steering, engine acceleration, coolant/radiator, belts, eco diesel system, blind side detectors and automatic emergency breaking have all been major issues with this jeep. I've almost been crashed into by other vehicles, including an 18 wheeler, because of the engine instability. It is now in the repair shop and completely unable to drive.

My son started the Jeep Monday morning and the engine light came on which has never happened before. Then something occurred under the hood and there was a fire. Luckily my son was able to get to a garden hose and put out the fire but now I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has fire damage and needs to be taken into a Jeep dealership for repairs. I have only had the vehicle for a little over 2 years.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ONE MORNING WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT AND CAME BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE NEXT MORNING I TRIED AGAIN AND ALL THE LIGHTS WENT IN AND OUT COMPLETELY. PROVIDING A VERY DANGEROUS SATIATION NOT ONLY TO ME BUT OTHER DRIVER'S. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER (HAD TO WAIT ONE WEEK TO GET IT IN TO SERVICE). THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART AND GAVE THE JEEP BACK AND WOULD CALL WHEN THEY HAD THE PART. WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK FOR THE REPAIRS THEY KEPT THE JEEP FOR THREE WEEKS TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE FIX AFTER CHRYSLER TOLD THEM TO CHANGE A PART IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. WHEN THAT DID NOT WORK THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND GOT A TECHNICIAN WHO ADVISE THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER CHANGE OUT THE HEADLIGHTS AND CHARGED US $917.88 FOR THE REPAIRS SAYING IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A CHRYSLER PROBLEM WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES, WIRING OR COMPUTERS AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER NOT BY INDIVIDUAL OWNERS. THIS IS SUBSTANTIATED BY ALL THE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM.

The problem with my vehicle is with emissions system which was covered under the Ecodiesel Extended Warranty lawsuit the EPA filed against the manufacturer Stellantis. My jeep has been down at Crystler Dodge Jeep Ram dealerships for 2 years. The extended warranty states they would repair problems, but they have not. I was told today that they will only give me 8741 for my car but they want to keep it. I’ve had to go to the hospital twice from the first dealership that had my car for a whole year giving me carbon monoxide poisoning. I’ve been paying full coverage insurance for 2 years. This manufacturer has placed and is placing me in a hardship. They said they would/ coukd repair my car and stayed in writing they would have certified techs working on my car, they had the parts manager working on my car and almost killed me. Now, their leadership is trying to bully me into selling them my car for this low ball amount. Why didn’t they offer to buyback before putting me through 2 years of hell. Is it Leah’s to breach a binding legal contract they agreed to honor. I am aware they are to suffer penalties for not honoring the warranty, and for not keeping databases updated by VIN. I was told my parts weren’t covered for months, I had to constantly show them the warranty said the parts were covered they trying to charge me for. I want my vehicle fixed under the extended warranty. I want compensation for this excessive time, and for them not honoring the consent decree they told the EPA and NHTSA they would honor. Please help me get my vehicle fixed under my extended warranty. My car is covered til 199,189 miles or May 13, 2024. I really need help, the manufacturer is not adhering to the consent decree they promised the government and NHTSA they would.

In Aug my warning light came on, I called Mopar was given a case number it was not until October that I was contacted after repeatedly calling for status. The is was the EGR Cooler which Mopar showed had been replaced when recall issued, I was advised by Stellantis to have towed to dealer, it was towed Oct 15, dealer advised it was replaced a few years earlier but I provided proof it had not, dealer then replaced but then advised it could not be cranked due to not holding coolant, it was not doing this prior to being towed. I then asked for the outstanding recalls to be completed, they advised no parts…I see now one is showing incomplete that should have been done, the other is a problem with part, I called after receiving a letter those parts were in and they said they were not, I then called you and was advised I am on a list to have this completed.

I was stopped in traffic at approximately 16:00 on Tuesday 5/27/2025. All of the sudden the drivers side headrest deployed with force, hitting me in the back of my head and pushing my head and neck forward. Since the incident I am experiencing pain in my neck.

May 28, 2025

Injuries: 1

The active headrest restraint system deployed without being in a crash or hitting a bump for that matter. The vehicle was sitting stationary when it deployed. This could be a major safety issue as I have had a history of concussions and if this were to have deployed while I was driving, the consequences could have been severe. I see that they expanded a 10 year warranty for this, but it deployed a couple of months after that 10 year warranty expired. This should be covered for lifetime as it is a malfunctioning safety component that could seriously injure someone or render them incapacitated at highway speeds. All of this is due to a plastic clip failing that holds a metal pin.

Aug 28, 2024

I was travelling down the road at approximately 30 mph and my the active headrest on the passenger side randomly deployed. This caused an extremely loud noise that sounded like an explosion. This caused me to swerve and slam on the brakes. It was unclear, at the time, what was happening. This has now caused extreme anxiety that it will happen on the driver side, while I am driving, and cause bodily harm or cause me to wreck, which could be potentially fatal. It appears that the clips that were holding it on just broke, or gave out, causing the deployment. After researching this I have found that this is a well known problem with this vehicle and has caused injury to others. When looking up my VIN number it says there are no recalls. It appears as though this is an expensive fix, which should be covered in full because it was a known default that Jeep continued to manufacture in the same way. I am not having to drive Leaning forward, because of fear of injuries if the drivers side does the same. And passengers have to ride with a deployed headrest that will not provide the protection it was supposed to provide in the event of a wreck, and that could cause additional harm because of it already being deployed.

While driving on a city street the driver side headrest deployed without cause and struck me in the back of the head.

In 2018, my 2014 Chrysler/Jeep Grand Cherokee dashboard material had started to dislodge from the dash. I reached out to Jeep and they denied anything was wrong with the dash on their end and it was my fault for improper care of the car. I found this to be in contrast with research online of a large amount of complaints for the same model as mine suffering the same dashboard glue issues. In December of 2019, I received a notice from Jeep that they would be replacing the dashboard so in January of 2020 I dropped my car off at the local dealership, Joey Accardi. After not hearing from them, I sent an email on February 12, 2020 requesting an update. They advised they submitted a request for approval of the replacement to Jeep and were waiting to hear back. I picked up my vehicle as they could not provide a replacement timeline. After waiting several months I reached out to Jeep customer care Reference #75788102 and they advised they attempted to reach out to the dealership for an update with no response. After getting a response several days later they advised it was ordered and should arrive shortly. After waiting to hear back through the rest of 2020, I reached out again in February of 2021 to Jeep customer care Reference #78420942 and they "escalated" my issue to someone who called the dealership and was told it would arrive in May of 2021. They closed my case on February 5th without any further help or confirmation of receipt of part. I reached out again today, September 9th and received no help or any indication of replacement timeline. It has now been 3 years since I brought this to Jeeps attention and 22 months since they authorized replacement. My concern now is the dashboard material has dislodged two of my AC vents and has folded over where my airbag would deploy potentially causing harm or failure if the airbag were to attempt to deploy. This is clearly an issue with this year and model Jeep and they aren't remedying it potentially putting people in danger.

Crash: 1

Gear switching to Neutral while driving, stops abruptly, steering locks up, and the vehicle shuts down completely. In order to restart, the battery requires a jump. The battery is fairly new and shows good voltage. 05/29/2023 (UPDATE) The issue was corrected with the installation of a new battery. Although the battery (2.5 years old) was indicating good voltage levels during testing, it would dip below 9v while driving. As explained by the Jeep dealer mechanic, this was causing the vehicle to immediately shut down, lock steering, and abruptly halt. I believe it’s still a safety issue. If I had been on the freeway, it would have likely created a serious danger to anyone unable to stop, or maneuver, in time.

My jeep has been at the dealership for a year prior to this. On February 21,2023 I gave them a list of a weird smell in my cabin, broken, and missing parts. I was sent an email on the ‘March 14, 2023 saying my jeep was fixed and ready I went in on March 17, 2023 to pick up my jeep, from what I could see the broken pieces were repaired. I got in proceeded to drive, after I went maybe 16 miles one way, I had to turn around, there was a weird smell in my cabin. My eyes, and nose started running and my head was feeling weird. I already have COPD. I found the service manager, he went out and got a technician, the tech stuck his head into the jeep and said it was antifreeze. I told him I don’t know what it is, but I feel weird. They proceeded to lift the hood and there was black smoke, the tech said the “PVC” hose was disconnected. I didn’t know what that was, I left the jeep there. I didn’t feel well throughout the weekend, went to my Dr. Monday March 20, 2023. I had a very bad headache, short of breath, nausea, just feeling really bad and run down. I was told it was possible carbon monoxide poisoning, especially since that PVC hose not connected would distribute exhaust into the cabin. I was then taken back to the emergency room on Sunday March 26, 2023, I couldn’t stop vomiting, stomach hurt so bad and headache. I reached out to the dealership, and informed them what happened. They never replied back. I need help please, I’m a disabled U.S. Air Force retired veteran with COPD and other medical conditions. This situation is unacceptable. I’ve tried to get a meeting with the owners, on several occasions. Since they had my engine taken apart and just sitting out back of their dealership for months. I want the engine replaced completely, or they can send my jeep to another dealership to make sure the engine is complete and fixed. This could have killed me!

At approximately 2:00 PM, on January 17, 2021, my wife was sitting in the front passenger seat of our 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit waiting for me so that we can drive to Columbus, GA for my brother's funeral. Then, for no reason at all, the headrest of the passenger popped open. My wife screamed because she thought someone was hiding in the back seat and had smacked her on the back of her head. We don't know why it happened but would like for it to be fixed by Jeep. A replacement headset was estimated to cost about $1000.00.

While driving home from work on March 13, 2026, the alternator in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (3.0L EcoDiesel) failed, resulting in a progressive loss of electrical power. As battery voltage dropped, the vehicle entered “limp mode.” When I was aproximatly 1 mile from my home when I was forced to stop at a railroad crossing while a freight train was passing. At that time, due to low voltage, the electronic shifter and ignition system became completely unresponsive. I was unable to shift the vehicle into Park or Neutral and was also unable to shut off the engine. The vehicle remained in Drive, requiring constant brake pressure to prevent forward movement. This created an immediate and dangerous situation, as I was stopped very close to a moving train with no functional means of securing or disabling the vehicle. Any loss of braking force or control could have caused the vehicle to enter the path of the train, creating a high likelihood of serious injury or death. After reaching my residence, the condition persisted. I remained unable to shift or shut down the vehicle and was forced to manually disconnect the negative battery cable, which is located under the passenger seat, in order to stop the engine. I am very lucky that I had a small metric socket set in the vehice, that I am somewhat mechanically enclined, and that I have long arms & legs, as this process was extremely difficult. I had to disconect te battery cable while maintaining my foot on the brake to avoid crashing into my garage. The vehicle appears to be designed such that engine shutdown is not permitted unless the vehicle is in Park, while the electronic shifter becomes inoperative during low-voltage conditions. This combination creates a hazardous failure mode in which the driver cannot place the vehicle in Park or turn off the engine during an electrical failure. This incident appears consistent with hazards identified in NHTSA Campaign Number 16V240000 (Recall S27). Despite records indicating that rec

We have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.7L Hemi engine. Today on XXX, we were moving slowly in traffic on a street in Linden, New Jersey, and suddenly the vehicle accelerated by itself. My wife pressed on the brakes all the way to the floor but the vehicle kept jumping forward - the engine was revving and trying to move the vehicle forward while my wife was firmly pressing on the brake pedal. Because we were in stop and go traffic, the vehicle eventually lurched into the car in front of us and caused an accident. The front of our vehicle was damaged as was the rear of the car in front of us. This sudden acceleration has happened a few times in the last 3 years. During the previous instance of this sudden acceleration, on [XXX] we also hit a car in stop and go traffic. The air bags deployed and we had extensive repairs done because of that. This happened another time as well. During that instance, we did not hit anything, and the only way we were able to stop the car was by switching the gearshift to the Park position.

Crash: 1

NHTSA recall # 23V-411 (FCA#66A) was performed, but did not fix the issue with lost power. Even though the recall "fix" didn't work, FCA said that the proper fix wasn't covered, because the vehicle isn't under warranty. According to the dealership, the tone wheel needs replaced, and they said FCA should cover the cost.

Feb 12, 2024

Purchased vehicle in 2014 and from the start Vehicle occasionally fails to increase speed when acceleration is increased. Under 30000 miles vehicle lost power moving at very low speed. Problem diagnosed at Arrigo Sawgrass as Powertrain Control Module failure. It is a risk if vehicle not responding to increased speed when needed. My research indicates that thousands of 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees in an Australian Batch were recalled for Powertrain Control Module Fault and the failure of my vehicle under 30000 miles seems to match with these recalls and should be carefully looked at for possible recall as well

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, THE CAR SEEMS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL (ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T DISPLAY THAT IT IS IN NEUTRAL ON THE SCREEN) AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE STILL REVS WHEN I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN MY VEHICLE, AND EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF GREATER THAN 40 MPH AND IT HAS OCCURRED WHEN I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE QUICKER THAN NORMAL, SUCH AS WHEN I AM MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY. I BELIEVE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH EITHER THE TRANSMISSION OR THE COMPUTER THAT OPERATES THE TRANSMISSION.

I am reporting a safety-related issue involving a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 5.7 HEMI. Within days of purchase, the vehicle experienced transmission slipping and delayed shifting, as well as braking issues. These conditions affected drivability and raised safety concerns during normal operation. An independent mechanic found burnt transmission fluid, indicating that the transmission condition likely existed prior to purchase. Although a fluid change provided limited, temporary improvement, delayed shifting continues to occur. Because the transmission behavior and braking issues can affect the safe operation of the vehicle, I am submitting this report so the issue can be documented and evaluated for potential safety trends. This report is being submitted for safety tracking purposes.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at approximately 80 MPH, the rear passenger’s side tire detached from the vehicle. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to cruise to the side of the road. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that due to corrosion, the brake assembly and the drive axle housing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 134,505.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON 9/20/2017 WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY OUT OF A FAST FOOD PARKING LOT AND APPROACHED THE EXIT INTENDING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE ROAD. I SAW THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND APPLIED MY BRAKES TO STOP AND WAIT FOR THE TRAFFIC TO PASS. I'M POSITIVE THAT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT INSTEAD OF STOPPING, MY CAR SURGED FORWARD INTO THE ROAD AND INTO THE PATH OF A SEMI TRUCK. THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING. I STARTED TO REACH FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT I HAD ALREADY HIT THE SEMI- TRUCK BY THEN. THE FIRST IMPACT HAPPENED ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY CAR, THEN THE CAR SPUN AROUND AND THE SECOND IMPACT HIT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY CAR, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPIN AROUND AND STOPPED WHEN IT HIT A UTILITY POLE NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE/EXIT OF THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED. I AM 100% CERTAIN THAT SOME KIND OF MALFUNCTION HAPPENED WITH MY CAR. I KNOW I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS JEEP FOR REPAIRS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES, AND I BELIEVE AT LEAST A COUPLE OF THEM WERE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I SEARCHED THE NHTSA WEBSITE, AND I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THE 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SURGING FORWARD WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS MODEL GRAND CHEROKEE HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN, AND BRAKE SYSTEMS. I HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO JEEP ABOUT THE ACCIDENT.

Crash: 1

THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN IT WAS IN PARK AND THE IGNITION WAS OFF. IT DID NOT SLIDE, IT ROLLED. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT BACK UP THE DRIVEWAY, PUT IT IN PARK, SET THE PARKING BRAKE, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I EXCITED THE VEHICLE, AND ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. PLEASE NOTE: THE JEEP HAD ALREADY RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE APRIL 2016 RECALL INVOLVING THE GEAR SHIFTER/ROLLAWAYS (SEE EA1600). I BELIEVE THIS IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE BECAUSE THE IGNITION WAS OFF WHEN THE ROLLAWAYS OCCURRED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROADWAY AND HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY KICK ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND WILL KILL THE ENGINE WITH NO SUDDEN WARNING AND OR WARNING LIGHTS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE BATTERY WILL REMAIN ON BUT THE ENGINE IS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2015 MORE RECENTLY THIS ISSUE BEGAN IN 2019. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT WILL ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER THE ENGINE BUT WILL NOT START, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE THE THE ROADWAY. 50/50% CHANCE THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND UNKNOWN ERROR. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IS TO REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLE AND LET IT SIT FOR 30 MINUTES RESETTING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THOUGH THIS IS A SHORT TERM FIX. I HAVE CONTACTED MULTIPLE JEEP DEALERS IN THE AREA AND EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO HAS ADVISED ME THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN LOOSING ALL POWER TO MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROADWAY AND HIGHWAY. I FEAR THAT THIS WILL CAUSE A GREATER PROBLEM TO MYSELF AND THE PUBLIC IF THE ISSUE IS NOT FIXED. I CAN SEE A CATASTROPHE IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ELECTRICS RECALL PROBLEM FIXED A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS ADVISED FROM JEEP UNKNOWN EXACT DATE. THIS IS A LIABILITY AND LIVES WILL BE HURT INCLUDING MYSELF IF THIS PROBLEM IS OVERSEEN. *DT*JB

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

"TAKATA RECALL" DRIVING TO WORK MY CAR MADE A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME OUT. I LET IT SIT DURING WORK AND AFTER WORK I STARTED IT UP. I THEN HOPPED IN AND WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING INTO THE TRUCK AND IT WAS SMOKING FROM THE HOOD AT A STOP LIGHT. I PROCEEDED HOME AND THE SMOKE WAS NOW INSIDE THE CAR. MY BABY COUSIN WAS IN THE CAR AND HE BEGAN COUGHING, THAT'S WHEN I LOOKED OVER AND NOTICED IT WAS VERY SMOKY IN THE CAR. I KEPT DRIVING HOME (THE STREET WAY) ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN SLIGHTLY FOR VENTILATION AND NOTICED THAT MY PARKING SENSE LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE NEXT LIGHT, MY ABN LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND SEVERAL OTHER LIGHTS. THAT BEGAN TO SCARE ME AND I KNEW IT WASN'T JUST MY BATTERY. THE NEXT TIME I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE THE SMOKE FROM THE HOOD INCREASED AS WELL AS IN THE CAR. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN GOING CRAZY, AND I COULD TELL THAT THE CAR WASN'T LETTING ME USE THE GAS ANYMORE AND THE WHEEL BEGAN TO LOCK UP. THIS REALLY MADE ME NERVOUS BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN IT. AT THIS POINT IM PANICKING AND CAUSING TRAFFIC. PULLING INTO A SAFE LOCATION,THE WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED AT THIS POINT AND EVEN PUSHING THE BRAKE WAS HARD. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULDN'T LET ME PUT IT IN PARK, THEN THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. THE SMOKING CONTINUED FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT I JUMPED OUT AS SOON AS IT CAME TO A STOP. LUCKILY I TOOK ANOTHER ROUTE HOME OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I THEN CALLED AAA AND WAITED OUTSIDE TO GET THE TRUCK TOWED. IT TOOK THEM 25 MINUTES TO COME AFTER A 5 MINUTE PHONE CALL REQUESTING THEIR SERVICES. I GOT MY BELONGINGS OUT OF THE TRUCK AND IT STILL SMELLED LIKE BURNT SMOKE EVEN AFTER WAITING WITH THE WINDOW CRACKED. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES, I HAVE VIDEOS.

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY ACTIVATES THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. SOMETIMES IT ENGAGES THE BRAKES, SOMETIMES IT JUST FLASHES THE BRAKE WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD.

AT NO TIME DURING THESE EVENTS WERE THERE ANY OBSTACLES, VEHICLES OR OTHER OBJECTS ANYWHERE NEAR THE FRONT OF THE CAR!!! I AM NOT SURE IF THE SYSTEM IS STILL FUNCTIONING IF IT IS ACTUALLY NEEDED.

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKING PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WATER ENTERED THE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH CAUSED IT TO FREEZE AND REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE. CHRYSLER STATED THERE WAS CORROSION PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER, CAUSED BY A SMALL AMOUNT EXPOSED, UNCOATED SURFACE AT THE CRIMP JOINTS, THAT ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE BOOSTER AND FREEZE. CHRYSLER STATED IF WATER DID NOT ENTER THE BOOSTER, THERE COULD STILL BE A LOSS OF VACUUM THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO PUSH HARDER THAN NORMAL TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE.

6 months ago, I was driving on the interstate and the ESC system light came on, the vehicle lost power/ability to accelerate, and would only allow acceleration after pulling over and restarting the car. This happened several more times on the interstate, and when the ESC system kicked in it would suddenly lurch the car down about 15 mph and leave no ability to accelerate, causing near collisions at high rates of speed. After eventually taking it to the dealership, it turned out to be failed lifters on the driver's side cam shaft, a known design issue that has apparently plagued the Pentastar engines. This all happened in spite of meticulous maintenance and no warning signs from the engine whatsoever. How is such a significant, known design defect that causes such dangerous driving conditions never been flagged for a recall?

LEFT HEAD CYCLINDER IN ENGINE CRACKED WITH COOLANT LEAKING TO ENGINE. 2011-2013 WERE EXTENDED ON WARRANTY FOR THIS BUT NOT THE 2014 YET. TO FIX THE 1 ISSUE APPARENTLY REQUIRES REPLACING SEVERAL OTHER PARTS RESULTING IN A ASTRONOMICAL BILL. WHEN GOT BACK FROM GETTING CHECKED OUT THE ENGINE NOW MAKES A TICKING SOUND. ALSO GEAR SHIFT ISSUES WHERE THE CAR WILL SAY IN DESIRED GEAR AND WON'T GO INTO PARK AND STALL OUT. THE SECOND WAS A RECALL BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. GEAR SHIFT ISSUE HAPPENS AT RANDOM AND HAS LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

AFTER THE MANDATORY EMISSIONS MODIFICATION THAT WAS REQUIRED ON THE ECODISEL 3.0 LITER DODGE AND JEEP VEHICLE, THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN VEHICLE PERFORMANCE. THE VEHICLE HAS LOST PERFORMANCE IN SHIFTING, ACCELERATION (RESPONSE), FUEL EFFICIENCY AND OVERALL POWER. THIS IS NOT ONLY PERFORMANCE RELATED, BUT ALSO A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHEN MAKING TURNS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

BOTTOM LINE: BATTERY WAS SITTING IN A POOL OF WATER 4 INCHES AWAY FROM THE NEG/POS BATTERY TERMINAL. POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL FIRE ? A NEWLY ACQUIRED 2014 JEEP LAREDO WITH LESS THAN 1000 DRIVEN MILES FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY. WE WERE HEARING A WATER SLOSHING SOUND THAT WAS PROFOUND UPON STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP AND THEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED FLUID WAS HEARD SLOSHING AROUND SIMILAR TO A COOLER OF ICE WATER. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH THERE WERE SIMILAR PROBLEMS FOUND WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE PAST. SINCE THIS WAS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AS I WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE SERVICE DEALER OF COURSE SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. "I WILL NOT LEAVE UNTIL SOMEONE EITHER DRIVES THIS CAR OR LOOKS AT IT AND SAY IT IS SAFE". THE COUNTER GUY WAS ANNOYED AT MY REQUEST AND HE WENT AND GOT HIS CHIEF SERVICE MANAGER. TO MY SURPRISE THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO ME AS HE WAS WALKING FROM ACROSS THE SERVICE BAY THAT HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WE WALKED TO THE VEHICLE AND HE OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR AND MOVED THE PASSENGER SEAT ALL THE WAY FORWARD. THEN HE OPENED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, TOOK OUT THE FLOOR MATS AND OPENED THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT THAT IS LOCATED "INSIDE" THE VEHICLE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE WAS WATER POOLED AROUND THE BATTERY AND 4 INCHES FROM REACHING THE + AND - TERMINALS. THE SERVICE MANAGER WENT UNDER THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE PLASTIC PLUG THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. WATER GUSHED OUT OF THE DRAIN PLUG FOR AT LEAST 5 MIN THEN IT TURNED INTO A TRICKLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SCHEDULE THE VEHICLE TO BE FIXED BY A COMPANY THAT DEALS WITH WATER LEAKS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS POSED AN POTENTIAL DISASTER FROM AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAUSED BY WATER POOLING. NOW IS THERE GOING TO BE A MOLD PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE? *TR

Our car was stopped and then engine started intermittently lunging forward for no reason. Rear ended the car in front of us and had to use the emergency brake to stop the car. Jeep Corp sent an independent inspector to check the car but only shared the car was drivable and didn't say there was a problem. They wouldn't share the computer findings with us or the dealer, only that is was drivable. They also wouldn't allow the dealer to see the computer while it was being tested. The car is currently parked and we bought another car. Waiting for Jeep to cover replacing parts or do something to the Jeep before it has another accident.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 7/5/15 AND MY DASH STARTED FLASHING. IT WAS READING THE INCORRECT SPEED AND MILEAGE AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND FCA ABOUT THIS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SPEEDOMETER,ODOMETER AND THE DASH FLASHING SINCE AUGUST 2014 BUT EVERYTIME I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WELL THIS TIME I TOOK A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING. MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ MY TRAVELING 30MPH THEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 20MPH AND THEN ALL THE WAY UP TO 40MPH ALL IN MY 22 SECOND VIDEO! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I WAS REALLY GOING AND THE FLASHING IS VERY DISSTRACTING TO TRY AND DRIVE AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. I HAVE TOLD FCA FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW THAT I DO NOT FEEL MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS SAFE AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE MORE AND MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH IT EVEN AFTER THE RECALLS WERE COMPLETED AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM THEM. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED SO MUCH TO THEM THAT THEY ASKED ME TO STOP CALLING.

Car shut down and engine stalled while driving. I coasted to a stop in the middle of traffic. Car would not restart. Had to get towed home. There are two open recalls on this vehicle- one for fuel pump and one for tone wheel. The dealers say they can’t fix it because no parts are available. This is unacceptable. One recall has been issued over a year ago. This is my primary vehicle. I have already had to borrow a family members vehicle for weeks now. I cannot wait months hoping for parts to become available. I need recall work to be performed now or at least a temporary fix to get me back on the road.

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 26 WEST BOUND IN OREGON JUST OUTSIDE OF PORTLAND. MY CAR HAS ECODIESEL ENGINE IN IT. I USUALLY BUY GAS WHEN IT IS ABOUT A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL. I HAD ABOUT QUARTER TANK OF FUEL AND ABOUT 150 MILES RANGE LEFT. I WAS ON THE LEFT LANE AND TRAVELING AT ABOUT 60 MPH. ALL THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE STOPPED INSTANTLY ON THE LEFT LANE OF HIGHWAY 26. ALL THE CARS BEHIND ME HIT THE BRAKES NOT TO REAR END ME. MY CAR'S ENGINE STOPPED AND SLOWED DOWN SO QUICKLY. IT WAS SCARY. I TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE THE CAR WAS PARKED, IT SAID THAT BATTERY SAVING MODE. IT WOULD CRANK UP BUT NOT START THE ENGINE. I CALLED A MOBILE MECHANIC OVER. HE CHECKED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND SAID THE BATTERY IS STRONG AND NO BLOWN FUSES WHATSOEVER. HE THEN WENT UNDER THE CAR AND LISTEN THE FUEL PUMP AND SAID THAT IT SOUNDS VERY BAD.HE HAD BELIEFS THAT I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY FUEL SYSTEM, MAYBE A BROKEN FUEL PUMP. HE READ THE CODES OUT OF CAR COMPUTER AND THEY ALL WERE RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEMS. I STARTED DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES HAS A FAULTY DESIGN OF FUEL TANKS AND IF THE FUEL GOES BELOW THE QUARTER TANK LEVEL. THEN PUMP DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. UPON READING THIS, I CALLED A FRIEND WHO BROUGHT ME 5 GALLONS OF DIESEL AND WE PUT THE DIESEL INSIDE THE TANK AND THE CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY. I DROVE IT TO A NEAR BY GAS STATION AND FILED UP THE TANK FULL. I THINK THIS CAR HAS SOME SORT OF FAULTY DESIGN OF FUEL PUMP. IT WILL CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT IF IT DOES NOT GET CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED SUDDENLY, THE CAR ACTUALLY SWERVED AROUND LITTLE BIT. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED FATALLY IF I WAS NOT QUICK ENOUGH. I AM WRITING THIS TO LET YOU GUSY KNOW ABOUT THIS FLAW ABOUT GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESELS 3.0 ENGINES.

WHILE IN MOTION, ON MY WAY WORK, MY 2014 GRAND CHEROKEE SUMMIT WITH 3.0 L TURBO DIESEL ENGINE, 220 AMP ALTERNATOR AND 49000 MILES EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, VOLTMETER SHOWED NO CHARGING OF BATTERY. MY ELECTRONIC INDICATOR SYSTEM STATED THE VEHICLE WENT INTO BATTERY SAVER MODE WITH A LOSS OF ABS, HEATING AND VENTILATION, AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM, ALL SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS SUCH AS PARK SENSE, NO ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CHANGES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WAS A RECALL ON GASOLINE ENGINE 2014 GRAND CHEROKEES ALONG WITH OTHERS (CHRYSLER RECALL T36) AND I HAVE SEEN ANOTHER COMPLAINT SIMILAR TO MINE SHARING THE SAME ENGINE ON THIS SIGHT. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS WAS CAUSED BY CATASTROPHIC ALTERNATOR FAILURE. A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED AND THE BATTERY LIGHT IS STILL ON AND STILL IN BATTERY SAVER MODE( AN INDICATOR ALSO OF NO CHARGING) AND VOLMETER INDICATES NO CHARGING. I WILL BE REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR TOMORROW.

MY JEEP AS THE T36 ALTERNATOR RECALL. MY VEHICLE RECENTLY WAS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL AND IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY ENTER VEHICLE POWERED OFF AND THAT LEFT ME WITH NO POWER STEERING OR MUCH CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD.. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION I FOUND MY ALTERNATOR SMOKING HEAVY AND MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLY CURRENT FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH THE SAME FAULTY DESIGN THAT FAILED IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THIS WOULD HAVE FAILED AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED OR IN ANY DAILY DRIVING SITUATION. I CANNOT BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE BATTERY ICON FLASHED ON. THE AIR CONDITIONER AND THE RADIO CUTOFF FOLLOWING THE DISPLAY OF THE BATTERY ICON. A FEW SECONDS LATER THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ALONG WITH A LOSS OF POWER. A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD TELLING ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY ALONG WITH A SERVICE TRANS BRAKE MESSAGE AND A FEW OTHERS THAT I CAN'T RECALL. I TRIED TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION BUT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO PARK AND COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WHEN I WAS GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH. CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET BY. I SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE THERE WERE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME MAKING TURNS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ALTERNATOR BURNED UP. THE BATTERY IS DAMAGED AS WELL. THIS SOUNDS SIMILAR TO THE TWO RECALLS NAMED "ALTERNATOR MAY FAIL RESULTING IN ENGINE STALL". NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT THIS AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CAN FIX THIS RECALL BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY SAY THE REPAIRS WILL COME OUT OF MY POCKET. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN SHUTOFF AND LOSS OF STEERING. I FEEL THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I REFUSE TO TAKE THAT RISK.

LAST NIGHT, I WAS DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED DOWN THE ROAD AND PERSON AHEAD OF ME BRAKED GRADUALLY TO MAKE A TURN. I BEGAN TO SOFTLY BRAKE. I HAD A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF SPACE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR AHEAD OF ME - AT LEAST 5-6 CAR LENGTHS. THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO NEARLY REAR-END ME. THE SYSTEM SHOULD NOT HAVE ACTIVATED AS THERE WAS NO REASONABLE THREAT OF COLLISION. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I UNDERSTAND THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THIS SYSTEM SO I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT IN ORDER TO ASSIST THE INVESTIGATION. THE SYSTEM WORKS WELL WHEN IT NEEDS TO BUT IT HAS FALSE POSITIVES OFTEN. IT IS SOMEWHAT TERRIFYING WHEN YOUR CAR JUST DECIDES TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES WITH NO CAUSE AND THERE IS A LEGITIMATE CAUSE FOR CONCERN WHEN IT DOES. OTHER DRIVERS BEHIND ME MAY BE UNPREPARED TO STOP AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH.

THE FIRST TWO TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH NO CARS IN MY VISIBLE SIGHT AND THE SIGNAL ALARMED AND THEN THE CAR BRAKED ON IT'S OWN. THIS AGAIN HAPPENED YESTERDAY 6/29/15 WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WITH A GREEN ARROW AND THE VEHICLE BRAKED WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. A CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO HIT THEIR BRAKES AND SWERVE TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. EACH TIME I BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN'T FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY CAN'T REPLICATE.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON W. MAPLE RD IN TROY, MI IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON ON FEBRUARY 18, 2015. THERE WAS MINIMAL TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD AND NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME IN MY LANE OR THE LANE NEXT TO ME. SUDDENLY, MY DASH LIT UP TO BRAKE AND THE CAR STARTED BRAKING ON IT'S OWN. IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY THAT I WASN'T EVEN SURE WHAT IT WAS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. AGAIN THE SYSTEM APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE WARNING WORD BRAKE FLASHED ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING NEAR ME. IT HAPPENED QUICKLY AND THEN THE CAR WENT BACK TO NORMAL WITHOUT ME DOING OR CHANGING ANYTHING IN THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE SUBURBAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALERSHIP IN TROY AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE. NO CODES WERE ACTIVATED IN THE COMPUTER AND THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS ABOUT IT SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.. . I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN TO ME FIVE DAYS LATER DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SPEED. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR LONGER, DROVE IT 119 MILES, USED THE MILLER TOOL KIT TO ALIGN THE CAMERA AND STILL FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE FRONT SENSOR AND BUBBLE ALIGNED. THE ONLY THING THAT THE DEALERSHIP FOUND WAS THAT ON ONE OF THE TEST DRIVES THEY COULDN'T GET THE ACC SYSTEM TO WORK AT ALL AND STILL NO REPORTS SHOWED UP ON THE COMPUTER. THE NEXT TEST DRIVE ALL SYSTEMS WERE WORKING, AGAIN NO REPORT ON THE COMPUTER OF THE CHANGE. THE DEALERSHIP STILL COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY FIXED IT.. IN MAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY TRAVELING AT 63MPH.

STEERING,SUSPENSION

3 complaints

As I was on my home on 2/20/26, I encountered some issues. I made a right turn onto the highway and my vehicle did a little drift but made this weird sound and the front end shook. There were no warning lights or dings that came across the dash. I pulled over into the closest parking lot to see if I could notice anything. I couldn't because I only had the light from a parking lot lamp. So decided to try and make it home which was another 15 minutes away. As I got back on the road and pressed the accelerator, I could here ticking sounds coming from the rear of the vehicle. When I approached the next traffic light and pressed the brakes, the front end shook, making the steering wheel shake, and the rear end drifted left. I made another left and pressed the accelerator. I got up to around 40 phone. The vehicle started pulling to the left and then stabilizing. I turned to my suspension articulation screen. As I was driving and the vehicle still scaring me to the point of a heart-a-stroke, I could see the axles trying to maintain contact with the road. At the same time giving me the feel of a loose steering wheel and a bad suspension. The vehicle continued to shift and shake and feel loose. When you turn into my neighborhood and before my house, there are two deep curves and a lake. I went into the first curve fine until the end of it. (At this time the lake is on my passenger side). As I was coming out of it, the steering wheel feels like its hard to turn or locked. I have to turn left into the second curve. The vehicle would not turn and the rear end felt like it was drifting right. At the edge of the road there is a slight downhill and the lake about 50 ft or so. Luckily, I was able to make the turn before going of the side of the road. Once I made it through the curve, the vehicle did do some shaking, loose steering, shaking, and back end motion until I parked in the yard. Its been parked since then. Thank you for your patience and attention to this matter.

Subject: Safety Defect Report – Failure of Telematics Module (TCU) Causing Loss of 9-1-1 Emergency Function, Electrical System Malfunctions, and Potential Brake Booster Recall Defect (2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee) Dear NHTSA, I am submitting this complaint because my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is experiencing multiple safety-related failures that I believe are part of a wider defect pattern affecting this model year. Several of these issues involve systems that are critical for emergency safety, braking, and vehicle control. Dear NHTSA, I am submitting this complaint because my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is experiencing multiple safety-related failures that I believe are part of a wider defect pattern affecting this model year. Several of these issues involve systems that are critical for emergency safety, braking, and vehicle control. ⸻ 1. Telematics Control Unit (TCU) Failure Causing Loss of 9-1-1/SOS Emergency Function My Jeep is displaying repeated “Service Emergency Vehicle Phone” errors and the SOS/911 emergency button no longer functions. This is a major safety concern, especially in the event of an accident or breakdown. The TCU failure also causes: •Uconnect 8.4 system not booting •HVAC controls becoming non-functional or unsafe (blowing incorrect temperatures, failing to defrost, turning off unexpectedly) •Random system resets •Loss of ability to control climate during driving (creating visibility issues in cold/wet weather) These issues align with widespread failures of the Uconnect 8.4 / TCU hardware on 2013–2015 Grand Cherokees, which were not included in a recall despite many vehicles exhibiting the same dangerous symptoms. ⸻ 2. TCU-Related CANBUS Interference Causing Transmission and Drivability Safety Issues When the TCU fails, the vehicle experiences: •Transmission communication errors •Vehicle entering limp mode unexpectedly •“Service Transmission” and “Press Brake to Shift” warnings •Delayed or unpredictable shi

ON 12/23/2020 AT 6:00AM I WAS DRIVING ON LONG POINT ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN - ALL ELECTRICAL, ENGINE, LIGHTS, BREAKS, ETC. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 30MPH HEADING TOWARDS A ROUND-ABOUT WHEN EVERYTHING SHUTDOWN. THE LOSS OF POWER RESULTED IN NOT BEING ABLE TO SLOW DOWN. LUCKILY THERE WEREN'T ANY CARS IN THE ROUND-ABOUT WHEN I ENTERED. HOWEVER, IT WAS A RATHER TIGHT ROUND-ABOUT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN AND I WENT OVER THE CURB AND DROVE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUND-ABOUT.. THE CAR RESTARTED AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE THE CAR RESTARTED, ACCELERATION WAS EXTREMELY LIMITED. I CONTINUED TO PROCEEDED DOWN LONG POINT ROAD UNTIL I COULD PULL OFF. ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST POWER FAILURE, ANOTHER POWER FAILURE/COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OCCURRED. THE SECOND POWER SHUTDOWN LASTED ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS AND TURNED BACK ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT WENT OFF AFTER SEVERAL HOURS. IT'S WORTH NOTING, I JUST RECEIVED THE ECODEISEL SOFTWARE UPDATED (I THINK V7). THIS UPDATE WAS PERFORMED ON 12/21/20

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER

3 complaints

I had a recall on the dash of my Jeep due to the leather wrinkling.I had very slight wrinkling, so I honored the recall and took it to the dealership. They replaced the leather which seemed to fix the problem, well WRONG, they put the leather down with no adhesive to keep it in place. Long story short, it began having some puckering in the middle,now the whole dash looks like a wrinkled bed sheet and its totally lifted along the bottom of the windshield, which has caused my defrost vent to lift out of place and resricts airflow. This resricts my visibility when the defrost cannot blow accurately. I took it back to the dealership to show them,and to tell them that it's worse than before I brought it to them, and if I had've known this would happen, I would have left it alone! I showed them that they Obviously didn't put adhesive under the leather, the just laid and tucked it! They said they couldn't repair it. I took it to get it assessed and as soon as he saw it, he said "This was OBVIOUSLY installed Wrong!"

My instrument cluster (where the speed, gas level, engine temperature, etc. Is displayed) had completely blacked out. It was periodically coming on. But it's not coming on at all anymore. I've taken it to the dealership, had it replaced (with a used part), had the wiring checked, also tried reprogramming the instrument cluster. Nothing has worked. There was a recall for this same exact problem, with the same exact vehicle except my vehicle was manufactured 3 months after the recall notice called for vehicle manufactured through Aug 2013 my was November 2013. I feel that my vehicle also should've been part of that recall notice.

I HAVE HAD MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUR TIMES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD ALL FOUR TIMES THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TWO VIDEOS OF MY TURN SIGNALS GETTING STUCK ON AND MY DASH FLASHING AND READING THE INCORRECT SPEED BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO TELL ME THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE IT. WELL, TODAY THERE WAS ALMOST AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. MY TURN SIGNALS GOT STUCK ON AND ANOTHER CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I ALMOST HIT THEM, THEY OBVIOUSLY THOUGHT I WAS TURNING, WHICH I WAS NOT BUT YET AGAIN MY TURN SIGNALS WERE STUCK ON. FCA IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CALLED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR ME. I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE IN MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND IT IS JUST AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

I was driving home from dinner and while driving I got a notification on the dashboard and then few moments later it locked up and everything started turning off. Incuding the radio, AC but not the car. The car would not drive once I got it on the side of the road. The car would not turn off due to not being able to place car in park. It was stuck in drive. My husband had to come over and put his foot on brake and take over the wheel. He then hit the power button for 5 seconds and it went into park and turned off. We called a tow company to take it to dealership to get fixed. We seen we had some recalls so we asked if that was the issue they said yes and ordered parts to fix. Days and weeks went on got car back and when I drove home my car I will say does not feel safe for me to be in nor be on the road. I had smoke inside my car where battery is when on side of road which one day will be where my kids are. Also they said nothing was wrong with alternator but when on side of road I could smell burnt alternator. They said was fine and recall wasn't needed. I do not feel safe at all nor does my husband feel safe driving the car. Dealership we bought from never told us about the recalls when we bought in 2020, and now this dealership saying it doesn't need to be done we do not feel the car is safe to be on road and will be fire hazard down road.

The vehicle reported a low battery followed by numerous other warnings in sequence and then within a few seconds stalled and would not restart. Upon taking the vehicle to the garage, the alternator (and consequently battery) needed to be replaced. Reading other Jeep Grand Cherokee recalls, to me the indecent sounds exactly like the NHTSA Campaign ID: 14V634000 - where ''the alternator fails and the vehicle may stall'. (Manufacturer Campaign Number: T36)

IN FEB. 2013 I PURCHASED A 2013 GRAND JEEP TRAIL HAWK EDITION, IN SPAN OF 3 TO 4 MONTHS THE JEEP WAS IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 6 TIMES TRYING TO FIX ISSUES. JEEP WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEMS TO MY SATISFACTION, I WAS GIVEN INCENTIVE TO TRADE IN FOR A 2014 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED EDITION, WHICH WAS RUNNING GREAT UNTIL THIS PAST THURSDAY. ON THURSDAY I STARTED MY JEEP IT BARELY WOULD IDLE, I PROCEEDED TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH IS WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED JUMPING UP AND DOWN LIKE I WAS GOING OFF ROAD. IT WOULD SUDDENLY CHANGE TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING, IT KEPT MISSING GEARS AND BARELY RUNNING. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET OFF THE EXIT. WHEN I GOT OFF THE EXIT IT WOULD BARELY IDLE AND AGAIN SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. EVENTUALLY I SAFELY MADE IT OFF THE EXIT AND INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I GOT IT TOWED. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD BARELY PULL IT UP ON THE TRAILER. WHEN IT WAS PLACED ON THE TRAILER IT WOULDN'T STAY IN PARK, IT KEPT TRYING TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION IN THE GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE MODELS AND HOW THEY ARE PASSING INSPECTIONS THROUGH PRODUCTION LINE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY FOR A CONSUMER TO GET TWO DEFECTIVE VEHICLES IN 7 MONTHS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNBELIEVABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

3 complaints

Fuel pump failed. Electric control module/system failed. I have been having these problems since 2021. When it first started my car stalled out, completely died, and started rolling (even though I was pressing the brakes) - I had to pull my E brake and luckily stopped an inch away from hitting the car in front of me coming to a stop because the light turned red. My entire car shut down. I had to get a tow. I took it in to a shop and they had no idea really what happened or what it was. They told me a bunch of stuff was bad (thousands and thousands of dollars worth of stuff) and I ended up only getting whatever was absolutely necessary which was the fuel pump and battery. $1300 later it was driving at least. Ever since then my gas gauge has NEVER been accurate and just goes up and down randomly. I have to track my gas by resetting the miles of my “total trip” when I fill up. My dashboard constantly went on and off and I never knew what was accurate and what wasn’t. About 6 months ago my dashboard went completely black and hasn’t came on since. My car is now barley taking over 4 gallons of gas at a time before the auto stop on the pump cuts off. If I try refilling anyways gas overflows. This makes absolutely no sense. I can’t see how fast im going, hear my blinkers go on and off, see how much gas I have, how many miles are on my car, any check engine lights, and now I can’t drive over 75 miles without having to “fill up” my measly 4 gallons again before the pump shuts off. I was never notified of any recalls but there is absolutely no way my car is excluded from them. The electronic control module is fried, I can’t even get gas, and a brand new battery and fuel pump was clearly just a miniature band aid on this disaster chain of problems. I’ve only had this Jeep for like 5 years too and what it’s worth is not even worth a fourth of the cost it would be to fix all of this.

Fuel pump relay has failed. It is internal and soldered onto the tipm board under the fuse block. This is a well known issue and a cheap fix on 2011 - 2013 models of jeep grand cherokees. The fix was to wire in an external bypass relay. My only option at this point is to replace the tipm board which is quite expensive, hundreds of dollars, for a $8 failed relay....terrible design. Thankfully I wasnt traveling 70 mph on the expressway when the failure occurred, (stall/lose power). Please extend this recall thru the 2015 models

JEEP ROLLAWAY COMPLAINT: MY BRAND NEW 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE ROLLED AWAY FROM ME WHEN I PUT IT INTO PARK. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO GET THE MAIL AND FEW SECONDS LATER, I HEAR A CRASH. THE JEEP ROLLED OFF THE DRIVEWAY INTO A TREE. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN THE WAY AND MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND FOUND THAT IT WAS IN REVERSE, NOT PARK! THE FONT BUMPER WAS DISLODGED AND SMASHED. I HAD BEEN HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE GETTING THE ELECTRON GEAR SELECTOR TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT GEAR SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. 50% OF THE TIME I WOULD DISCOVER THAT I WAS IN REVERSE WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS IN PARK. THERE IS VERY LITTLE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TWO GEARS, NOTHING DEFINITIVE LIKE THERE IS ON A SLIDE TRACK IN MOST CARS WITH A DEFINITIVE CLUNK WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO PARK. THE ONLY WAY TO BE ABSOLUTELY SURE WAS TO LOOK DOWN AT THE GEAR SHIFT TO SEE THE LIGHT INDICATOR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING ALL MY 59 YEAR OLD LIFE AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT. I WAS SO UPSET AND FRUSTRATED WITH THE GEAR SHIFT THAT I TOOK IT BACK AND ORDERED A 2013 JEEP WITH THE OLD GEAR SHIFT ON A TRACK SYSTEM. I'D HAD IT! IF THEY DON'T CHANGE THE GEAR SYSTEM IN THE NEXT JEEP, I WILL HAVE TO BUY A DIFFERENT MAKE. THE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH MAY HAVE BEEN SOME KIND OF DEFECT IN THE ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFT, IS, IN MY OPINION, NOT A DEFECT, SO NATURALLY CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIND ANY DEFECTS. I THINK IT IS POOR DESIGN AND A HAZARD. IT IS A HUMAN INTERFACE PROBLEM. PARK SHOULD NOT BE SO CLOSE TO REVERSE. THE GEAR SHIFT ONLY MOVES ABOUT A 1/4 INCH ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. YOU CAN NOT DEPEND ON FEEL TO TELL WHICH GEAR YOU ARE IN, WHICH YOU CAN WHEN YOU HAVE A CAR WITH A SLIDE TRACK GEAR SHIFT. ALSO, ANOTHER INCIDENT: I WAS MAKING A LEFT AND HAD TO BREAK HARD FOR A SEC, MY PURSE MOVED FORWARD AND EASILY PUSHED THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I NEEDED TO BE IN GEAR FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. STUPID DESIGN.

THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING, THEN WITHIN ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES THE RADIO HAD NO SOUND ALTHOUGH THE SCREEN WAS STILL LIT. OTHER LIGHTS THEN CAME ON SUCH AS THE ENGINE LIGHT, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, I HAD TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN TAKING OFF AGAIN, THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. IT WOULDN'T GO ABOVE ABOUT 10-15 MILES PER HOUR, THEN IT PICKED UP SPEED BUT I NO LONGER HAD POWER STEERING. AS I PULL INTO A PARKING LOT TO GET THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD, THE WIPERS TURNED ON (EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCH WAS OFF). WHEN I GOT INTO THE PARKING SPOT, THE CAR COULD NOT BE PUT INTO PARK DUE TO THE POWER ISSUES. I HAD TO HOLD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED. WITHIN 2-3 MINUTES THE ENGINE DIED. EVERYTHING WAS DEAD, INCLUDING THE POWER LOCKS. THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER THE DASH WOULD LIGHT SAYING THE IGNITION OR ACCESSORY UNIT WAS TURNED ON BUT YOU COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO TURN IT OFF. EVERYTHING WOULD THEN TURN OFF AGAIN. AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 30-45 MIN, THE CAR WOULD START BACK UP BUT IT WAS NOT DRIVEN ANYWHERE, WE HAD IT TOWED. BOTH THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUES. THE ALTERNATOR IS UNDER A RECALL FOR MY MODEL/YEAR/ENGINE TYPE BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. THE RECALL WAS DUE TO VERY SIMILAR ISSUES, LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, LOSS OF POWER.

THIS MORNING WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET, THE STEERING LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE TURNED AT ALL. THE CAR WAS AT AN ANGLE TO THE CURB ON A 1-WAY CITY STREET, THERE WERE NO OBSTRUCTIONS. I STRUGGLED TO TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL WHEN I PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE. I SWITCHED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE A FEW TIMES TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE STREET AND PARK. FINALLY, AFTER STRUGGLING TO TURN THE WHEEL EVEN THE TINIEST BIT, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT. THE STEERING IMMEDIATELY FREED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK. I REPORTED IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY CAN'T LOOK AT IT UNTIL ALMOST 24 HOURS AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED.

I RECEIVED AN OVER THE AIR UPDATE FOR MY VEHICLE, WHICH I BEGAN TO INSTALL. THE INSTALLATION FAILED, AND THE NEXT TIME I GOT IN MY CAR MANY THINGS WERE WRONG, SOME OF WHICH ARE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. WHEN I PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE THE BACKUP CAMERA SHOULD COME UP AND THE MIRRORS AUTOMATICALLY REDIRECT DOWNWARDS. SINCE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THIS UPDATE, SOMETIMES THESE THINGS DON'T HAPPEN AT ALL, OR HAVE A LONG DELAY (OTHERS IT WORKS AS IT SHOULD). OTHER TIMES, THE BACKUP CAMERA AND MIRRORS WILL STAY ON AS IF I AM STILL IN REVERSE WELL AFTER I BEGIN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO USE THE SIDE MIRRORS AND IS VERY DISTRACTING AND DIZZYING SEEING THE BACKUP CAMERA WHILE DRIVING. ADDITIONALLY, THE GPS HAS BEEN IMPACTED AND OFTEN HAS ME ON A DIFFERENT ROAD AND ANNOUNCES A SPEED LIMIT INCORRECTLY. I CAN NOT FIND A WAY TO STOP THE VOICE FROM ANNOUNCING THE SPEED LIMIT WHILE I'M DRIVING. IN ADDITION, MY BLUETOOTH, PRESETS AND USB CONNECTION ALL STOPPED WORKING. AGAIN, ALL OF THIS WAS WORKING 100% UNTIL THIS UPDATE THAT WAS SENT TO MY CAR. I BELIEVE THE FACT THAT THIS UPDATE WAS SENT TO MY CAR UNSOLICITED AND RESULTED IN THESE ISSUES WITH THE BACKUP CAMERA, MIRRORS, GPS AND SPEED LIMIT CONFUSION ARE ALL SAFETY CONCERNS AND SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE WORTH REVIEWING FOR A POTENTIAL RECALL. FYI, I DID TAKE THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD MY ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE RADIO AND COMPUTER AT AN OUT OF POCKET COST OF $2,400.

MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) SYSTEMS 1) SYSTEM WILL ISSUE FALSE BRAKE WARNINGS (AND APPLY BRAKES IF ENABLED) ON CLEAR STRAIGHT ROADS WITH NO OTHER CARS OR OBSTRUCTIONS. 2) SYSTEM WILL DISABLE ITSELF AT RANDOM INTERVALS DISABLE ITSELF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (10-20 MINUTES). ONLY NOTIFICATION IS BRIEF "FCW/ACC SYSTEM DISABLED" NOTIFICATION IN GAUGE CLUSTER - NO AUDIO WARNING THAT IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM DISABLED ITSELF. 3) WHEN USING ACC, WHEN VEHICLE RESUMES SET SPEED AFTER AUTONOMOUS BRAKING, VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE INTO BACK OF NEXT VEHICLE AHEAD - HAVE TO MANUALLY INTERVENE AND APPLY BRAKES TO PREVENT COLLISION. NOTE THAT THIS VEHICLE USES A BOSCH LRR3 RADAR SENSOR SYSTEM FOR THE FCW AND ACC FEATURES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO JEEP DEALERS FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE FIVE TIMES, AND EVEN AFTER OPENING STAR CASE WITH JEEP/CHRYSLER FCA, STILL NO FIX FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

SIMILAR TO NHTSA IDS#: 10533622 AND 10533524. OCCURRENCE: 5 TIMES TO DATE FREQUENCY: RANDOMLY SPEED: LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 50 MPH EACH TIME ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL: ALWAYS OFF, NEVER ON VEHICLE MILEAGE: ~ 3,200 THE CAR RANDOMLY APPLIES THE BRAKES EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NO OBJECTS IN THE ROAD (FRONT, REAR OR SIDES) AND NO PENDING ACCIDENT. OUT OF THE FIVE TIMES, TWO OF THOSE TIMES SO HARD THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TO DATE NO ACCIDENTS, BECAUSE NO CARS HAVE BEEN AROUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE A FAMILY AND AM AFRAID TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE OR LET THEM DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

BOTH CV AXLE BOOTS LEAKED ALL THE GREASE OUT. HAD THE AXLES REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS FROM THE MFG, AND BOTH BOOTS LEAKED AGAIN AFTER ONLY 475 MILES OR LESS. APPEARS THAT THE BANDS ON THE BOOTS ARE NOT TIGHT ENOUGH, OR THE BOOTS MAY BE TOO SHORT. THEY SEEM TO PULL APART IF WHEELS ARE STEERED CLOSE TO MAXIMUM RADIUS. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE GREASE IS SLUNG ALL OVER THE WHEELS AND ONTO THE FRONT DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. THIS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKES OR SEVERE BRAKING ISSUES THAT CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT TOLD ME NO RECALL IS CURRENT. THEY CALLED MY DEALER IN WILMINGTON NC, AND I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE. THESE WILL BE THE THIRD SET OF CV AXLES. THE JEEP FORUMS ONLINE ARE FULL OF THIS ISSUE. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES BUILT AROUND MARCH/APRIL 2014.

I was driving and pressed on the gas to go and my car shifted into neutral and wouldn't let me go. I almost got hit by a truck due to this. Luckily he swerved to avoid me. Also my seat belt pulls out but won't retract on passenger side door.

The car just stalled in the middle of the road on a busy street with the information 4wd drive temporarily unavailable till service. There was no prior warning, the car has around 80K miles and has been taken care of regularly with no outsanding calls or other maintenance. Checking the resources available, the reliability on this car seems pretty low with many know transmission issues. I had the car towed to the dealer and they are wanting to fix 1. valve body and connector to pan, 2. dtcm and broken engine and trans mount. A few weeks back the drivers side seat belt stopped retracting (the dealer said they would fix that). The car just stalling with no prior notification or issues added to which the car belt retracting happened on a busy street and very well could have happened in the freeway causing safety and security issues for this and other vehicles on the road. There are innumerable cases of transmissions reports and issues for this vehicle, most of those fixed earlier on during the warranty might just seemed to happened a little bit later. It is a disaster waiting to happen with other vehicle owners if not addressed proactively in my humble opinion, I was relatively lucky to have happened without an incident but it could have been worse. Please need your help in addressing this safety issue asap.

I noticed things like the cluster going completely black at random and it would last for seconds before re-illuminating; it happens while driving. I took in my vehicle to the dealership on June 28, 2022, two days prior, I noticed that my doors were unlocking while I was inside my workplace, the alarm was going off another day and I noticed shifting issues with the transmission. On June 27, 2022 I was forced to buy a brand new battery because the Jeep was running in Power Saving Mode, instead of taking a risk with a low battery, I bought a new one and thought everything was good, but it continued to run in Power Saving Mode; I received two CEL CODES, both correlating to the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Later that evening my son informed me that the cluster light was still on, the JEEP had been parked for several hours so there was no reason for the light to still be ON (WAKE MODE?). Also, I notated the codes I received before I had to have the Jeep towed to the dealership on Jun 28th to compare to what the service dept came up with; however on Jun 28th I attempted to jump the battery to take it to the service center but it wouldn’t Jump or charge; what happened was, just before the cluster went haywire, the wipers were moving across the windshield while it was in an OFF position, the UCONNECT was glitching out then went black, Cluster warned to service the electronic ABS and the SHIFTER, the fuse box was vibrating and shuddering very loudly, a hissing noise was coming from the back of the vehicle (could be the fuel pump? like compressed air) so by Monday morning, the 27th the battery had completely died and by the time it got to the dealership on Tues, I had to use the battery warranty to replace the battery so that the service department could then diagnose the Jeep. Fine, the battery was replaced Jun 30th with a brand new one, but by Fri Jun 8th I was told I need another brand new battery. All the issues had had a prior recall and seem to be reoccurring.

THE "SERVICE GEAR SHIFT" WARNING HAS APPEARED WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION (6 TIMES) AND WHILE PARKED (1TIME) AND THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS STARTING TO SLIP AND WILL GEAR DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE NEXT THING THAT OCCURS IS THE WIPERS WILL START ON THEIR OWN AND CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF. AFTER THE WIPERS ARE TRIGGERED THEN THE NEXT MESSAGE WILL SAY "UNTIL YOU REACH A DESIRED LOCATION YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT AGAIN UNTIL SERVICED". NEXT ANOTHER RANDOM MESSAGE WILL APPEAR AND THEN THE SCREEN WILL GO BLANK. THIS INCLUDES ALL DIGITAL FUNCTIONS OF THE DASH. SUCH AS SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, TACHOMETER, ETC. SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ARE THE ONLY THING THAT WILL APPEAR. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED ON AUG. 2, 2019 THE CAR WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK OR TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND GET UNDER THE HOOD WHERE THE FUSE PANEL IS LOCATED AND PULL THE IGNITION FUSE TO DISABLE THE CAR. WE HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN TO BYERS CHRYSLER LLC. 7 TIMES AND HAVE AN ONGOING COMMUNICATION CASE WITH A CORPORATE JEEP CARE ASSOCIATE. WE HAVE MUTIPLE VIDEOS THAT CAN BE SEEN OF THE ACTIONS OF THE CAR. THREE TIMES THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO US WITH NOTHING DONE EXCEPT CLEARING THE ERROR CODES IT GENERATES WHILE THIS OCCURS. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS NOW AT THE POINT WHERE IT WILL NOT SAFELY PARK AND TURN OFF. THE IMAGE I AM INCLUDING STATES THE THE CAR SHOULD BE SHUT OFF TO ENGAGE PARK BUT IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO THIS. I HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN GEAR AND RUNNING WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON. THIS IS AS UNSAFE AS IT CAN GET AND THERE IS NO CLUE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. WE HAVE CURRENTLY SPENT $1600 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO REMEDY.

Crash: 1

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I STARTED THE FIRST LEG OF A 2000 MILE ROAD TRIP COMPRISING OF HIGHWAY AND WINDING RURAL ROADS. DURING A WINDING MOUNTAINOUS SECTION OF THE JOURNEY I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING I THOUGHT TO BE POSSIBLY A FBRUSH FIRE OR SOMETHING BURNING IN THE LOCALE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH. LATER DURING ANOTHER SECTION OF STOP AND GO DRIVING I STARTED TO SMELL IT AGAIN, AND NOTICED SOME BRAKE FADE AS WELL. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS LEG OF THE TRIP I USED THE PADDLE SHIFTERS TO REDUCE MY BRAKE USE. UPON A FUEL STOP BEFORE ENDING THE DAY'S TRAVEL, I NOTICED A THICK LAYER OF GREASE COATING THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL. I DID A INTERNET SEARCH TO SEE IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FIND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT A JEEP DEALER FOR SERVICE. HOPEFULLY JEEP CAN REMEDY THIS SEEMINGLY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

Service shifter Transfer case Radio malfunction Gear Shifter Shifter got stuck in park i had to forcefully pull the shifter to get it to go into drive. Monday Feb 14, 2022 approximately around 9:00pm I drove my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee to the gas station. I pull up at the gas pumps and pit the shifter to park, I exit the vechile and lock the doors, go inside the store to pay for my purchase and as im walking out I look and my jeep was gone. So I look around and I see it across the highway in a ditch. So I take off Running to my vechile and get in the vechile to try and reverse it but its automactilly goes right back into park. So I get out and look at the damage because there is a guard rail cables. My car has front end damage because it was stuck under the cables. Made a police report. I called the dealership where I am leasing the vechile from and they do not wanna help me. I've had nothing put problems with this vechile since I got it. This really needs to be looked into. What if my babies were in the car. Thankfully there was no oncoming traffic at that time. Becauae its a busy highway. I also have video footage of the incident from that night.

BOUGHT NEW IN APRIL 2013. SINCE THEN, JEEP HAS BEEN IN DEALERS SERVICE DEPT FOR MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, DOWN LOADS TO CONTROL MODULES AND FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS JUST FALLING OFF. RADIO WAS REPLACED, WIRING HARNESS REPLACED, MANY CONTROL MODULARS REPLACED, GENERATOR AND BATTERY REPLACED AND THE DEALER EVEN ADDED AN EXTRA NEGATIVE WIRE TO THE JEEP TO STOP THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM JUST TURNING OFF AND ON, ALTERING THE JEEPS DESIGN. MY JEEP THEN BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF CERTAIN CONTROLS, LIKE THE WIPERS WOULD JUST COME ON AND OFF, THE RADIO WOULD GO UP AND DOWN IN SOUND THEN THE WHOLE SCREEN WOULD GO BLACK, TURNING OFF ON ITS OWN, DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RADIO SYSTEM. RECENT REPAIRS WERE THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAVE BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITHIN MONTH OF PURCHASE. THE JEEP WOULD NOT GO HIGHER THE 2ND GEAR. DEALER HAD TO REMOVE CERTAIN CODES, REPLACE WITH NEW CODES AND REPROGRAM THE TCM CONTROL MODULE. THIS HAS BEEN DONE MANY TIMES. JUST LAST MONTH, THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS JUST BEGAN TO FALL APART. DEALER HAD TO SEND JEEP TO A BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THE JEEP IS IN MINT CONDITION AND AWAYS HAS. IT'S SERVICE RECORD IS PROOF OF PROPER MAINTEANCE ON SCHEDULE. ON ONE OCCASION AFTER THE DEALER ATTEMPTEDTO FINX THE LIGHTS FROM GOING OUT AND HAD THE JEEP FOR SEVRAL WEEKS, THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY GO THE LIGHTS TO AT LEAST NOT GO OUT BUT IT STILL HAS A SLIGHT FLICKER. WHEN I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT'S NOT FIXED RIGHT, THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY CONSIDERED THE REPAIRS COMMERCIALLY ACCEPTABLE. IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I HIRED AN ATTORNEY TO ADDRESS THIS UNDER THE LEMON LAW BUT CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO DRAG THIS ISSUE OUT WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE SAFETY ISSUES MY FAMILY CONTINUES TO ENDURE ON A DAILY BASIS . ASKING THE ATTORNEY TO BECOME MORE INVOLVED, I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE TO DO WHAT THE LAW ALLOWS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING,VISIBILITY/WIPER

2 complaints

Over the course of several years' use, the OEM HID headlights lenses have been burnt by the OEM headlights which has incrementally diminished the headlight effectiveness. There is a frost like haze that has been burnt into the interior of the lens. This should be covered by the manufacturer given that the headlight cover lenses used on the headlight assembly were not adequate. I have experienced this diminishing visibility over the last several years, but it has reached a point now that it is a safety concern while driving at night.

Jan 02, 2022

THE HEADLIGHTS RETAIN MOISTURE OR ICE ON THE INTERIOR AREAS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. THIS DEFINITELY BLOCKS THE LIGHT TRANSMISSION THROUGH TO THE EXTERIOR FOR PROPER AND SAFE DRIVING VISION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THE NOVEMBER INCIDENT AND I HAVE REPORTED TO CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP, GANDRUD IN GREEN BAY WI, EVERY TIME AND DOCUMENTED EACH WITH PICTURES OF THE EXACT PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS PERFORMED THE SILLY TEST THAT CHRYSLER REQUIRES: HAVING THE VEHICLE SIT INDOORS HEATED FOR 20 MINUTES SO SEE IT THE WATER CLEARS. MINE DID NOT TOTALLY CLEAR AT ALL HOWEVER THE DEALER SAID IT WAS WITHIN THE "GUIDELINES" OF BEING OK BY CHRYSLER'S RULES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I JUST PURCHASED A HIGHLY PRICED VEHICLE AND I SHOULD LEAVE IT SIT IN A HEATED GARAGE SO THE LIGHTS WORK! I DO BELIEVE CARS ARE MEANT TO BE DRIVEN ON THE ROAD IN THE DAY AND NIGHT. CHRYSLER CERTAINLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMER WHO WORKS HARD TO PAY FOR THIS MACHINE THAT IS VERY FAULTY. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A JEEP AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IT MUST BE RESOLVED AND I WILL KEEP AT THIS UNTIL IT IS. I KNOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AS SEEN ON THE INTERNET. THE SECOND VISIBILITY ISSUE IS THE WIPERS AND THE WAY THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTS. THE WIPERS ARE PLACED SO THAT THE ICE OR SNOW WHEN DRIVING STAYS FROZEN AND IS NOT HEATED TO DEFROST PROPERLY. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIPERS AFTER ONLY DRIVING FOR A FEW DAYS IN WINTER WEATHER! I COULD NOT SEE. THAT HELPED SOME BUT NOT THE DEFROST PROBLEM AS STATED. IT IS ALSO VERY HARD TO REMOVE THE SNOW AND ICE FROM THE FRONT AREA UNDER THE WIPERS. MY OLD 1999 JEEP HAD NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS. MY GRANDSON IS STILL DRIVING IT. PERHAPS I SHOULD ASK TO BORROW IT. CERTAINLY CHRYSLER ENGINEERS CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. *TR

THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES BETWEEN JUNE-DEC 2014 ON OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUMMIT 4X4 ECODIESEL. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP A SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING FLASHES ON DASH BOARD. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED TO CONTINUE FORWARD THERE IS NO POWER AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FORWARD. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE CAR HAD TO BE RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT OPERATED NORMALLY AGAIN. ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE CAR REGAINS ACCELERATION CAPABILITY AFTER A SHORT 10 TO 15 SECOND DELAY. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THE DEALER FOUND NO ERROR CODES IN THE SYSTEM WHEN DIAGNOSTICS WERE RUN. WE ARE TAKING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN ON 12/16/14. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR THAT WE ARE NOT IN THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED OR THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

AFTER BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE I WAS GOING TO GET OUT TO GO BACK INTO THE HOUSE.. I PUT THE CAR (I THOUGHT) IN PARK, MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. I STARTED TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE CAR SLIGHTLY STARTED FORWARD I REALIZED THE CAR WASN'T IN PARK BUT DRIVE AND WHEN I WENT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES FURTHER TO CHANGE GEARS AND STOP THE FORWARD MOTION THE CAR SUDDENLY REVVED THE ENGINE, SQUEALED ITS TIRES WHILE PEALING OUT AND ACCELERATING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BACK INTO THE GARAGE SMASHING INTO A BRICK WALL AND MY DINING ROOM. THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR IS OVER $15,000 AND DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE IS APPROX. $9000. I KNOW MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE!` MY FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL CUTTING MY LIP. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE TWO YEARS LEFT ON THE LEASE AND I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. IN ALL OF MY YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT AND I HAVE ALWAYS PARKED IN A GARAGE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAVE DRIVEN EVERYTHING FROM YUKONS TO NAVIGATORS AND NEVER HAVE I HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. I SEE FROM ALL THE POSTS THAT I AM NOT ALONE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED.

I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A PARKING GARAGE BUT WAS FAVORING THE RIGHT SIDE. I BACKED UP APPROX. 6-8 FEET TO STRAIGHTEN THE CAR OUT. AS SOON AS I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, IT LURCHED FORWARD AT FULL THROTTLE, WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE. I COULDN'T STOP IT. THE CAR ACCELERATED RAPIDLY AND SHOT FORWARD, OVER THE PARKING BARRIER AND RAMMED INTO THE CEMENT SUPPORT STRUCTURE OF THE DECK. THE IMPACT WAS JARRING AND THE CAR JERKED BACK UPON HITTING THE STRUCTURE. ALTHOUGH THE DISTANCE WAS ONLY ABOUT 6-8 FEET, THE IMPACT DID $3,300 DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ACCIDENT SITE AND THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THE PHOTOS SHOW THAT MY FRONT TIRES LAID DOWN SKID MARKS ON THE PAVEMENT AND UP AND OVER THE PARKING BARRIER AS I WAS TRYING TO STOP IT. A CLEAR INDICATION I WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE FORCE OF THE CAR PULLING AHEAD AGAINST THE BRAKES WAS VERY STRONG AND WAS ONLY STOPPED ONCE I SLAMMED IN THE PARKING GARAGE WALL. AFTER CONTACTING JEEP, I WAS REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL INVESTIGATION UNIT.I MET WITH A SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR AND HE EVALUATED MY VEHICLE AND SENT THE FINDINGS TO JEEP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. THE INVESTIGATOR DECLINED TO VIEW MY PHOTOS OF THE ACCIDENT SCENE. A FEW WEEKS LATER I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE FINDINGS SHOWED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THE CASE HAD BEEN CLOSED. I APPEALED BUT WAS ONCE AGAIN DENIED. OTHER OCCURRENCES OF A SIMILAR, BUT LESS DRAMATIC, NATURE OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I REPORTED SEVERAL OF THESE TO THE DEALER. FINALLY IN MAY I WAS TOLD I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND THEY REPROGRAMMED IT. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OCCURRENCES SINCE.

VEHICLE IS AN ECO-DIESEL MODEL. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LOST POWER AS WE ACCELERATED AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT. INITIALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. IT GRADUALLY ALLOWED US TO GET UP TO ABOUT 50 MPH, BUT WITH NOTICEABLE VIBRATION. THEN A NOTICE DISPLAYED ON THE INFORMATION CENTER TELLING US TO SERVICE THE ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL. TOOK IT IN THE NEXT DAY AND THE DEALER SAID WE WERE DRIVING WITH LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND RIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO BE CONFUSED. SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED A SECOND TIME A WEEK LATER. THIS TIME IT GAINED ENOUGH POWER TO GET US UP TO 40 MPH AND HOME. WE THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. NOT SURE WHAT THEY DID TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, HOWEVER THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT HAS COME ON AGAIN 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON THE DEALER SAID IT WAS OK TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY COULD SCHEDULE SERVICE. THE THIRD TIME WE ASKED THE DEALER TO CONTACT JEEP HEADQUARTERS FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT. CORPORATE JEEP SAID NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHCILE WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON, THAT IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. ON-LINE RESEARCH AND DISCUSSION WITH OTHER LOCAL OWNERS OF THE SAME ECO-DIESEL MODEL SUGGEST THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES.

I HAVE OWNED 5 JEEP CHEROKEES AND THIS HAS TO BE A LEMON.I PURCHASES IT NEW. I HAVE HAD MANY MANY RECALLS, MOST MAJOR. RECENTLY I HEARD WATER SPLASHING UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH RESULTED IN WATER COMING INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOODING THE CARPET. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BOX HOLDING THE BATTERY WAS WHERE THE WATER WAS LOCATED. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR TWO DAYS AND CAN NOT FIND WHERE THE WATER IS ENTERING. NOW THEY ARE PREPARING TO REMOVE THE TRIM FOR A POSSIBLE LOCATION. THEY CHECKED WITH MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NOT COVERED. I AM AFRAID THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE A FIRE IN THE VEHICLE SINCE THE WATER IS ENTERING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD NO RECALL FROM CHRYSLER ADDRESSES THIS MAJOR ISSUE WITH JEEPS, EVEN THOUGH IS IS COMMON. I AM AFRAID TO LOOK AT MY BILL IF THEY EVER FIND THE LEAK. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR RAIN HERE IN GEORGIA THIS YEAR AND IT IS NOT USED VERY MUCH, SO IT WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A VERY DIFFICULT TASK TO FIND WHERE THE WATER WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE, AND THEY HAD MANY JEEP VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I CAN GET MY VEHICLE BACK.

MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ,SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE ISSAQUAH FALL CITY ROAD . STEERING WHEELS LOCKED AND BRAKES FAILED AND EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE WALGREENS PARKING LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED TO THE POINT WHERE EVEN THE KEYS WOULDN'T WORK . I BARELY MADE IT ALIVE . I AM GLAD I DIDN'T CRASH INTO ANYONE . I HAD TO TOW THE VEHICLE LATER IN THE DAY TO THE DEALERSHIP . THEY ASKED ME TO DROP IT OFF AT THEIR GARAGE . TODAY THEY GOT BACK TO ME SAYING , THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO FAIL AND SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING . THEY SAID BECAUSE IT'S AN OPEN RECALL THEY WOULD FIX IT THEMSELVES AS IT'S COVERED UNDER SOME WARRANTY . BUT THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH SOME OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THE AWD SYSTEM IS STUCK IN AWD AND THEY WILL HAVE TO FIX IT AND HAVE ME A PARTS AND LABOR CHARGE OF 2000 USD WHICH I HAVE TO BEAR . IS THIS NORMAL PRACTICE . I DON'T KNOW HOW THE AWD SYSTEM SUDDENLY GOT INTO THIS STATE . IF IT'S A RESULT OF THE ALTERNATOR ISSUE CAUSED BY THE OPEN RECALL , WOULDN'T THEY MANUFACTURER/DEALER HAVE TO BEAR IT . . THANKS !!

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GIVING ME TROUBLE WITH LOTS OF NECESSITIES LIKE AIR CONDITIONING SHUTTING OFF AND FRONTS LIGHT TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN. ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH 2013, I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THINGS FIXED BUT WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY THERE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL JUST LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE WONT RESPOND AND IT WAS RUNNING, IT SWITCHED TO NEUTRO THEN PARK ON ITS OWN AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND BRAKES ARE HEAVY! MIRACULOUSLY AND THANKS GOD, I WAS NOT INJURED AND THE VEHICLE NOT DAMAGED! I WAS IN BIG SHOCK AND STRESS! I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT NEARLY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ME OR HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY OR CAUSING DAMAGE! I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE TO ONE OF THE SERVICE CENTER MANAGER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND IT THE MANAGER TOLD ME, THIS VEHICLE HAS LOTS OF ISSUES NEED TO BE FIXED! I TOLD THEM, THIS VEHICLE NEARLY GOT ME KILLED OR INJURED OR SOME DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN HAPPENED! THEY GAVE ME A CHEAP RENTAL CAR AND REFER ME TO TALK DIRECTLY TO THE COMPANY PRODUCED THE VEHICLE! I CALLED ON FRIDAY AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME YOUR CASE WILL BE ASSIGNED TO A MANAGER WHOM WILL CONTACT YOU! I HAVE TRYING SINCE THEN TO GET A HOLD OF ANYBODY TO HELP! BUT SEEMS NOBODY SEEMS TO BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY! AND I WOULD JUST WONDER, WHAT IF YOU ARE IN THE VEHICLE WITH KIDS OR SOMEBODY OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS! WOULD YOU GUYS TAKE IT SERIOUSLY IF SOMETHING BAD COULD HAVE BEEN HAPPENED TO ME OR OTHERS!? I AM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ! ITS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER, I JUST THINK ABOUT IT AND SAY: WHAT IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN TO ME OR A DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO OTHERS!? I AM VERY STRESSED AND DEPRESSED ABOUT IT, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OR TRUSTING THAT CAR DEALERSHIP! I CAN'T DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE AND I NEED HELP! *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT, TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON. IT SAYS PLACE IN PARK TO RESTART BUT SOMETIMES TAKES FOREVER AND THEN IT SPUTTERS. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE FUEL PUMP OPERATING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. I HAVE A CHILD AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS- LIKE GETTING RAN OVER BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND EITHER OF US GETS HURT- SOMEONE IS GOING TO PAY DEARLY. IT'S NOT LIKE JEEP CHRYSLER DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE MAKE THEM PULL ALL OF THESE VEHICLES OFF OF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THANK YOU! THE LAST TIME IT STALLED WAS DURING MY FATHER'S FUNERAL..THANKS JEEP!!! IT STATES THE LAST TIME AND MILES...LET ME TELL YOU, THIS ISNT THE ONLY TIME!!

THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND (MAY BE OTHER MODELS) HAS A FEATURE IDENTIFIED AS ECO. IT IS ACTUALLY A DASH BUTTON THAT MUST BE MANUALLY OVERRIDDEN EACH TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. THE FUNCTION IS (I SUPPOSE) A FUEL SAVING MODE, HOWEVER MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS IN THE JEEP BLOGS HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE IN THAT THE CAR REACTS IN A SLUGGISH MODE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND SHIFTS IN A MANNER NOT NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH SMOOTH DRIVING AS THE SHIFT POINTS ARE CHANGED FROM WHAT ONE WOULD CONSIDER NORMAL. IT APPEARS TO INJECT MORE AIR, LESS FUEL INTO THE FIRING PROCESS PRODUCING THE SLUGGISH DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I AND OTHERS HAVE SOUGHT RELIEF FROM THIS ( OPT OUT FUNCTION) FROM DEALERS, TO NO AVAIL. MANY DRIVERS, AS HAVE I, HAVE EXPRESS FEAR OF A POTENTIAL COLLISION WHEN THIS FEATURE IS ENGAGED. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE EPA, SEEKING IMPROVED ECONOMY AND THE HIGHWAY SAFETY BOARD SEEKING TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS FEATURE SHOULD BE MODIFIED TO BE AN "OPT IN" FEATURE TO BE POSSIBLY UTILIZED IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS NOT IN STOP AND GO AND MERGING TRAFFIC. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET WHEN THE STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR STARTING CHIMING THAT THE SYSTEM WAS TURNED OFF. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS THEN TURNED ON AUTOMATICALLY AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, THE HEADLIGHT INDICATOR TURNED AS WELL. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I LET THE JEEP SIT FOR A LITTLE WHILE UNTIL I RESTARTED IT. THE SAME THINGS HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME THE ABS BRAKES WARNING LIGHTED UP AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

TRAVELING AT REDUCED SPEEDS ON INTERSTATE, AFTER PASSING AN ACCIDENT (WET CONDITIONS/RAIN), I FOUND THE CAR STARTING TO LOSE TRACTION WITH THE ROAD. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WITH POTENTIALLY TROUBLED ROADWAYS, HOWEVER THIS WAS INTERSTATE 15 IN SAN DIEGO, AND WITHIN SEPARATED CARPOOL LANES. AS I CONTINUED ON CAUTIOUSLY AT ROUGHLY 60MPH DUE TO CONDITIONS AND UNSURE OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I FELT THE CAR SLIP, AND SLIDE, THE REAR END STARTING TO DRIFT TOWARD EDGE OF LANE, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM GAS AND ALLOWED CAR TO REGAIN TRACTION. WAS FORCED TO CRAWL AT ROUGHLY 45MPH TO FEEL SAFE AGAIN. A NATIVE OF OREGON WHERE RAIN IS A ROUTINE PART OF LIFE, THIS OCCURRENCE FALLS BEYOND THE REALM OF EXPECTED PERFORMANCE. THE GRAND CHEROKEE IS ONE OF THE HEAVIEST CARS ON THE ROAD, MAKING THIS ISSUE PERPLEXING. AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WAS EXPERIENCING MODERATE RAIN THROUGHOUT THE MONTH DISPELLING MUCH CREDIT FOR OIL ACCUMULATION ON THE ROADWAYS, AS IS USUALLY INDICATED. WHEN I CAME TO THINK ABOUT THE ISSUE I REMEMBERED A FEW WEEKS PRIOR ON A WET ROADWAY (NOT RAINING) AS I ACCELERATED FROM A RED LIGHT MY REAR TIRES SPUN, AND I HAD TO RELEASE THE GAS TO REGAIN TRACTION AS WELL. THE REASON I AM REPORTING IS I BROUGHT THIS SCARY INCIDENT UP TO A FRIEND WHO ALSO OWNED A NEWER GRAND CHEROKEE (2013), AND WAS APPALLED TO HEAR OF SIMILAR OCCURRENCES. THIS HAS GREATLY DIMINISHED MY TRUST IN THE VEHICLE. MY OWN STEPS WERE TO UPGRADE TIRES WHICH ARE FALKEN ZIEX S/TZ05 SIDE 285/40R22XL 110H, TO YOKOHAMA OF THE SAME SIZE, AND REPORT TO DEALER. HOWEVER I AM SKEPTICAL THIS WOULD BE A FIX, AS THE FALKEN TREAD (JUST 4,000MILES INTO USE) LOOKS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF DISPERSING WATER. WITH INFREQUENT RAIN, IT MAY BE QUITE SOME TIME BEFORE CONDITIONS REPEAT THEMSELVES, AND I WOULD FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE GETTING UP TO (AGAIN 60MPH) MODERATE SPEEDS. *TR

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AUTO BRAKES FOR NO REASON, IT SENSED A STOPPED VEHICLE IN THE LEFT TURNING LANE AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TWICE, I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE GOING 35 MILES PER HOUR; THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST ALSO. I DID REPORT THIS TO THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO VIA EMAIL, I SAVED THE EMAILS AND THEIR RESPONSE. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BY A VEHICLE BEHIND ME BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, LITERALLY ONCE IT STARTS I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT THE VEHICLE DOES, THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THE JEEP FROM BRAKING. I SHUDDER TO THINK IF IT HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY. I WAS TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD GOING 35 MILES PER HOUR IN THE LEFT LANE. ON THE EVENING OF 8/22/2016 I WAS DRIVING IN THE DARK AND MY AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS MALFUNCTIONED SEVERAL TIMES. THEY USED TO WORK PERFECTLY NOW THEY STAY ON AND BLIND ONCOMING DRIVERS AND THE DRIVERS AHEAD OF ME, THEY ALSO FAIL TO COME ONE WHEN I AM IN THE DARK AND THERE ARE NO OTHER CARS; BOTH INCIDENTS OF HIGH BEAM MALFUNCTION HAPPENED ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND ON THE FREEWAY LAST NIGHT. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER I HAD THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER UPDATED AT THE DEALER AND SOME OTHER SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT WERE DUE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID, I JUST KNOW THEY WERE SOFTWARE RELATED AND PART OF A RECALL. SAID VEHICLE IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SEVERAL HOURS OF WORK ON THE SOFTWARE FOR BOTH THE HIGH BEAMS AN THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2016.

THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IF THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED IT WOULD NOT HAVE CONCLUDED IN BROKEN RIBS, BROKEN HAND, MULTIPLE CUTS AND BRUISES AND THE LOSS OF 90 % OF MY SITE.

HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY WIFE DID GO TO THE HOSPITAL COMPLAINING OF LOWER BACK PAIN AND A FEW DAYS LATER HAD A SORE NECK AS WELL.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) OCCASIONALLY COMES ON WITHOUT REASON IN CITY TRAFFIC,INTERSTATES, AND COUNTRY ROADS (NO TRAFFIC OR OBSTRUCTIONS NEARBY) AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS CAUSING A "BRAKE" WARNING SIGNAL AND SOMETIMES, NOT ALWAYS, ACTUALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE. RELATED TO THE FCW PROBLEM IS A WARNING SIGNAL THAT FREQUENTLY APPEARS THAT INDICATES THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL/FCW ARE UNAVAILABLE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND EXCEPT FOR ONE TIME THAT THE DEALERSHIP FOUND A PART MISSING, THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO INDICATE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM REMAINS ON-GOING AND HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE DATE OF OCCURANCE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT EVENT WITH THE "BRAKE" WARNING.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT 2 INCIDENTS WHERE MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS ROLLED AFTER IT WAS \PUT INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE 1ST TIME HAPPENED ON 9/4/15 AFTER PARKING MY JEEP AND EXITING THE VEHICLE IT ROLLED BACKWARDS APPROXIMATELY 1' INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME. NO DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE AND ONLY SMALL SCRATCHES ON MY REAR BUMPER. THE 2ND TIME WAS 9/5/15, AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE ON A SMALL INCLINE THE VEHICLE ROLLED 2' FORWARD INTO A GUARD RAIL POST CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY FRONT BUMPER AND GRILL. I BROUGHT MY JEEP TO THE SMITH HAVEN CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER TODAY 9/23/15 TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME "THIS IS NORMAL ESPECIALLY ON AN INCLINE" AND "IT SHOULD NOT ROLL MORE THAN 3 FEET". I COULD NOT BELIEVE I WAS BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS A NORMAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE.

Crash: 1

I HAVE A LONG NARROW DRIVEWAY WITH A BIT OF A SLOPE TOWARD THE HOUSE. WHEN GOING OUT THE DRIVEWAY I SEEN A TRASH CONTAINER TIPPED OVER. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, LETTING IT IDLE, WHILE I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE THE CONTAINER. LOOKING BACK I SEEN THE JEEP BACKING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TOWARD THE HOUSE UNDER IT'S OWN POWER. I TRIED CATCH IT,BUT IT HIT THE SIDE OF THE HOME ON A GARAGE WALL. TOTAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE IS AROUND $9400 I'VE YET TO GET THE HOUSE DAMAGE ESTIMATE BACK. I DIDN'T SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK OR REVERSE WHEN I EXITED. I PUSHED THE SHIFTER CLEAR FORWARD TILL IT STOPPED, THEN EXITED. THE SHIFTER HAS TO GO THRU REVERSE BEFORE IT GETS TO PARK. IN THE PAST I'VE NOTICED THAT IT DID NOT ALWAYS GO INTO PARK WHEN I HAD PUT IT THERE. I DRIVE LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE DRIVE. I HAVE 55+ YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. WE SHIFT BY FEEL AND NOT ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN AT THE SHIFTER. WHEN A SHIFT LEVER GOES THRU THE MOTION FORWARD AND STOPS, WE EXPECT IT TO BE IN PARK, NOT REVERSE. THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE VEHICLE. I LOVE THE NEW 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION, BUT DON'T TRUST THE SHIFTING MECHANISM. MY WIFE IS VERY RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY SEEM CONCERNED AND ARE WANTING TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE WHEN REPAIRED. HOWEVER, I'M NOT CERTAIN, HEARING ABOUT OTHER ISSUES WITH VEHICLES, WHETHER THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO BLOW SMOKE UNTIL I QUITE DOWN. I DID OBTAIN A LEG INJURY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. NOT SERIOUS, BUT SURELY COULD HAVE BEEN. HAD THERE BEEN A CHILD, PET OR OTHER PERSON BEHIND THE VEHICLE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER THAT WORKS FOR STATE FARM INSURANCE. THEY'VE ALSO HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THERE'S NOT DETENT IN THE SHIFTING, IT JUST GOES FORWARD AND STOPS. ALL ELECTRONIC, NOT MECHANICAL AS THEY USED TO BE.

I WAS ON THE I-94 ENTRANCE/EXIT RAMP BETWEEN FULLERTON AVENUE AND WESTERN AVENUE. JUST BEFORE WESTERN AVE: THE LEFT LANE IS INTENDED FOR VEHICLES ENTERING I-94 NORTHBOUND, THE RIGHT LANE IS INTENDED FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE PROCEEDING TO WESTERN AVE. WHEN THE EVEN OCCURRED, THERE WAS A LINE OF VEHICLES STOPPED IN THE LEFT LANE DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON I-94. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT LANE AND HAD NO CARS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. AS I BEGAN TO PASS THE LONG LINE OF VEHICLES THAT WERE WAITING TO ENTER ON TO I-94 ON MY LEFT, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM BEGAN TO CHIME AND BRAKING BEGAN FOR NO REASON. I QUICKLY REACHED DOWN, DISABLED THE ABS FUNCTION, GLANCED IN MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR AND SAW THAT I HAD COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO BEING REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, I RE-ENABLED THE FEATURE THINKING THAT THE EVENT WAS A FLUKE. I RE-ENABLED IT, BUT HAD A HANDFUL OF INSTANCES WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD BE APPLIED IN SEEMINGLY INAPPROPRIATE SITUATIONS - MOSTLY ALL OF THEM IN DENSE CITY DRIVING. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 10K MILES ON IT. I HAVE YET TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE ON THIS OR THE MULTITUDE OF FACTORY RECALLS.

AT APPROXIMATELY 12:50PM, WHILE DRIVING IN SPORT MODE, GOING UP A HILL, I WAS ACCELERATING NORMALLY AT A REASONABLE PACE AFTER MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN. THE ACCELERATION PEDAL AROUND 30 MPH DISENGAGED FROM MY FOOT AND FLOORED ITSELF, AND CONTINUED ACCELERATING. DESPITE PUSHING ON THE BREAK PEDAL REPEATEDLY. I COULD NOT INITIALLY UN-STICK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL USING MY FOOT. THE ENGINE MADE SOME NOISE AND A WARNING WITH A RED LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL: "SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE". BECAUSE THE BREAKS WERE NOT WORKING I ENGAGED THE GEAR SHIFT TO TURN TO THE VEHICLE FROM S/SPORT MODE BACK TO D/DRIVE MODE. I PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL AGAIN AND AGAIN, STILL NOTHING. THE JEEP REACHED ABOVE 72-77 MPH+ ON THAT STREET HIGHWAY. I WAS WELL BEYOND CONCERNED FOR MY OWN SAFETY BUT FOR THE SAFETY OF THE INTERSECTION IN WHICH I WAS ABOUT TO APPROACH. FINALLY, I WEDGED MY SHOE IN BETWEEN THE FLOOR AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL (WHICH WAS DIFFICULT B/C IT WOULD NOT BUDGE), THE PEDAL FINALLY RELEASED, BUT THERE WAS STILL NO IMMEDIATE REACTION FROM THE ENGINE UNTIL 1-2 COMPLETE SECONDS LATER. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED, SERIOUSLY HURT OTHERS, OR DIED. *TR

AS YOU ACCELERATE THE DIESEL GRAND CHEROKEE AND IT REACHES 7TH GEAR, THE CAR STARTS SHUDDERING AS IF THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO "FALL APART". THIS ISSUE HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN IN 7TH AND 8TH GEAR. I'VE HAD TO USE THE PADDLE SHIFTERS TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN 6TH GEAR TO AVOID SUCH SHAKING IN THE HIGHWAY. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO AN EMPTY ROAD AND ACCELERATED TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND KEPT MY FOOT IN THE PETAL AND IT EVENTUALLY SETTLES DOWN AFTER 8TH GEAR. BUT IF YOU REMOVE FOOT FROM GAS AND LET THE CAR SHIFT BACK TO 6TH WHEN YOU RE-ACCELERATE THE SHUDDERING RETURNS AGAIN. THE ENTIRE CAR JUST SHAKES.

MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL SHUDDERS/VIBRATES INTERMITTENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EVIDENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, AND SO MUCH SO THAT IT NOW HAS A NAME, "FISH BITES". AT LEAST ONE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND POSSIBLY EVEN MORE (MANY HAVE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS) HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE DRIVETRAIN AS THE SOURCE AND HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE IT WITH SOFTWARE FLASHES. AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE DEALER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, THE "FISH BITES" ARE STILL HAPPENING, AND ARE GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE. UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER THE LAST VISIT AND BEING TOLD IT HAD BEEN RESOLVED, I HAD TO FIND OUT THAT THE ATTEMPTED FIX DID NOT WORK WHILE ON A TIGHT TWO-LANE ROAD. THE OCCURRENCE NEARLY CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL AT HIGH SPEED. PROSPECTIVE BUYERS OF THIS MODEL SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT IT MAY BE UNSAFE, AS THIS UNRESOLVED ISSUE WAS CLEARLY A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND TO THE VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. *TR

There is currently a recall for this very issue and Jeep made no attempt to fix it. I had no idea there was even a recall for this until now and this happened a few years ago.

I was driving along & all of a sudden my car under side make a funny sound and stopped moving forward. I am a single mother & I had my 4 year old son with me. I had to call a tow company & they took it to a repair shop. They charged me $100 to tell me the transmission was gone & metal pieces were in the transmission. Now I have tried to get it fixed because the rest of my car looks NEW. I REALLY TAKE CARE OF IT. But now I am told it cannot be fixed because you knew there was something wrong with this particular transmission so you no longer make the parts, so no one else can get hurt. Therefore, I have a very lovely car that I love but it will never run again. I spent over $20,000 for my car. Can you help me please.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

1 complaint

I've been experiencing an issue with the brakes on the vehicle not operating properly since 2022. The vehicle does not brake normally, and the brake pedal must be pressed completely down to the floor, or pumped repeatedly before the vehicle begins to slow, and when it does slow, the brakes are less than responsive. There have been several instances where despite allowing extra stopping distance and pressing the brakes all the way to the floor, the vehicle does not stop normally, and I've come dangerously close to being involved in a collision as a result. I've reported these issues to Jeep in the past when the vehicle was there for service, but it was not adequately evaluated. I replaced both front and rear brake pads and rotors, only to have the issue continue. On 6/27/23 when my vehicle was in the body shop for unrelated repairs, the body shop conducted a brake diagnosis and confirmed the stiff break pedal when attempting to brake. They verified the appropriate vacuum at brake booster and vacuum sensor, and disconnected the brake booster sensor and smoke tested the brake booster to find smoke leaking into the main cabin area. They recommended replacing the brake booster assembly with water shed per TSB, and re-checking. They noted that the Vacuum brake booster has failed, and TSB is available in regards to installing water shield with new brake booster, under safety recall T59/NHTSA 17V-572. Once body work was completed, we took the vehicle to Perkins Jeep for the open recalls and requested repair of the brake booster, but were told this isn't a Jeep problem, and that it should have been taken care of at the body shop under insurance-- even though this brake issue was pre-existing to the body damage to the vehicle. Jeep states they do not have the OEM parts to repair this issue and other open recalls at this time, and there is a waiting list.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION

1 complaint

Bought this vehicle 6 months ago and and realized right after purchase it has an error within the radio system that causes backup issues. The error appears on the radio and states “contact dealer” for radio service. What the vehicle does is that the backup camera becomes inoperable (black screen) and in my case the radio turns on straight heat blowing hot air from the system and turning on both defrosters, front and back. After doing some research, it appears that many 2014 Jeep owners and other years around this time period are experiencing this issue. Since the backup camera and backup sensors no longer work due to this error (it has to do with the Sierra Wireless card within the radio) it becomes a safely issue when it stops in the middle of backing up and is very scary. In Texas, having straight heat blown at you and your glass makes the windows fog or becomes unbearable at 105 degree temperatures. Dealer is aware of the issue and wants more then $1200 to replace radio. I tried to self repair by removing radio and updating software to current version but Sierra wireless car is soldiered to the motherboard of the radio and cannot be removed. I did however get the software to update after three attempts and 6 hours of updating. This did not fix the error that causes this. I believe it is due to a Sierra Wireless card failure and normally happens right after startup.

My vehicle has a recall with the parts not available, I crash without prior warning, and injured. I have contact FCA US and other customer care numbers provided. My vehicle was repaired for the outer damage due to the collision, but my vehicle does not pass emission due to parts not being available. My car is drivable with very little power and can only drive a very low speed and locally. I have called about this matter for over a month and afraid that I will get in to another accident. I have not received information on when parts will be available. I had it checked and most probable other components require replacing due to the recall. This put me at risk and could have put my children at risk.

Randomly my grand Cherokee overland 4wd stared spraying oil all over the rear of the vehicle. Took it to jeep and they said the rear deferential was shot and that the hose had melted off due to over heating. The vehicle never once displayed any indication of any failure or overheating. When I asked how could there not be any warning lights I was told it just happens. After researching this issue I discovered it's a very common problem. My concern is the vehicle could have easily locked up and caused the vehicle to flip or cause an accident with no warning.

2018 - "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE POPS UP. OVER $1000 I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE IT AS IT WAS JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY TIME. PAST FEW YEARS, IN COLD WEATHER, THE SUSPENSION CREAKS AND CRACKS NOISES. JUST YESTERDAY, FEBRUARY 2019, LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD, "SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION IMMEDIATELY" POPS UP ON MY WAY HOME ON INTERSTATE. VERY BUMPY RIDE ALL THE WAY TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I FEEL I WAS LUCKY WHEN I MADE IT, AS THE TOPS OF THE REAR TIRES WERE ANGLED INWARD. APPARENTLY, ONE AIR SUSPENSION "BAG" BLEW OUT. THIS RESULTED IN THE PUMP/COMPRESSOR BURNING OUT. HAVING TO REPLACE BOTH BAGS AT THE SAME TIME AND THE PUMP, OVER $4,300 REPAIR FOR SOMETHING NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD ONLY HAPPEN IN CARS THAT ARE MUCH OLDER IN MY OPINION. LOOKING ONLINE, APPEARS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. WILL JEEP ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND MAYBE "RECALL" THIS SYSTEM SO WE CAN BE REIMBURSED? I AM ABOUT TO SWITCH BRANDS AS SOON AS I GET THIS ONE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT AND ANYONE ELSE I EVER COME ACROSS WHO WANTS TO BUY A JEEP, I WILL TELL THEM THE HORROR STORIES FROM MY CURRENT OVERLAND, MY PREVIOUS OVERLAND, WITH ITS 2011 MODEL ISSUES, AND MY UNLIMITED WRANGLER ISSUES BEFORE THAT.

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS AND I HAVE READ THE STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP ON HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WHILE DRIVING. THE JEEP DID NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. WHILE DRIVING TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD THE ENGINE REVVED UP AT 20 MPH AND THE JEEP DID NOT WANT TO GO- HAD TO SWITCH INTO SPORT MODE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE ROAD WAY AND THE ENGINE REVVING CALMED DOWN. THE HEAD REST IS BROKE AND CAN NOT GO INTO ITS REGULAR POSITION. DID NOT GET A PRICE ESTIMATE ON THAT YET. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY JEEP!!!

THE SUNROOF'S AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS STOP WORKING SO WHEN IT FAILS YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE CLOSE BUTTON REPEATEDLY WHILE THE SUNROOF MOVES MAYBE 1/4" ON EACH DEPRESSION OF THE BUTTON. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MOTOR ONCE AND FOR THE OTHER 4 TIMES I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED TO BE CALIBRATED. THE LAST SUNROOF FAILURE THEY WENT IN AND WENT THROUGH ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND SAID THEY FOUND SOME ELECTRICAL WIRING PROBLEMS AND FIXED THEM. THE SUNROOF FAILED AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT, DUE TO ANOTHER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ISSUE. THE ELECTRONICS IN THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONS REGULARLY WHICH AFFECT THE RADIO CONTROLS, NAVIGATION, CENTRAL LOCKING, PHONE, AND I GET RANDOM ERRONEOUS ERRORS ON THE DASH DISPLAY. THE RADIO/NAVIGATION UNITS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE NAVIGATION SCREEN LOCKS UP BUT THE VOICE WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU VERBAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF YOU MANUALLY LOCK THE VEHICLE AND START WALKING AWAY THE HORN WILL BEEP TWICE AND THE VEHICLE WILL UNLOCK LIKE THE KEYS HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IN YOUR HAND. I WAS TOLD YOU CANNOT USE THE LOCK BUTTONS ON YOUR DOOR TO LOCK THE VEHICLE. WHEN YOU WALK UP TO THE CAR AND GRAB THE DOOR HANDLE TO UNLOCK THE CAR IT FAILS, AND YOU HAVE TO GRAB THE DOOR HANDLE ALL OVER REPEATEDLY TO GET IT TO UNLOCK. THE DASH DISPLAY WILL GIVE FALSE MESSAGES WHILE DRIVING LIKE ALREADY IN DESIRED GEAR AND NO ONE HAS TOUCHED THE SHIFTER. THE VOICE WILL COME ON RANDOMLY AND ASK YOU WHAT NUMBER YOU WANT TO CALL, AGAIN NO BUTTONS NOR THE DISPLAY HAVE BEEN TOUCHED. ERROR ON DISPLAY MEMORY SYSTEM, THE PROGRAMMED SEAT SWITCHES WERE REPLACED. TRANSMISSION ISSUE, THE MODULE WAS REPLACED. REAR HATCH FAILURE, FINALLY SWITCH WAS REPLACED.

I HAD HAD OTHER ISSUES BUT AS THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN UNCOOPERATIVE AND I AM STUCK WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH A CHILD ON THE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE I FILE A COMPLAINT IN AS MANY PLACES AS I CAN BEFORE I SIMPLY LOOK TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. ALL ISSUES OCCURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND ALL HAVE OCCURRED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP BUT AS THE SERVICE CENTER NEVER DOCUMENTED MY ITEMS PROPERLY I WAS STUCK WITH A LEMON AS I PUT 50K MILES ON IN THE FIRST YEAR DUE TO MY COMMUTE TO MY EMPLOYER FROM MILFORD, NH TO BURLINGTON, MA BEFORE MOVING BACK TO MA WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT ISSUE WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH LEAKS WATER INTO IT AND FREEZES DURING COLD WEATHER AND MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AROUND SINCE FEB AS THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER IT AS THEY CLAIM TO HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE RECALLED ITEM SO I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A DISPUTE OVER THAT NOW AS WELL.

SHE CALLED ME IN A PANIC. I CALLED THE JEEP DEALER WHO CAME AND TOWED THE VEHICLE IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN THE SHOP AT CALIFORNIA SUPERSTORES IN VALENCIA, CA. THEY CALLED ME SEVERAL TIMES TO COME AND PICK THE CAR UP BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THAT THERE WAS NOT A "FIX" FOR IT. DUE TO CONCERNS FOR MY FAMILYS SAFETY I REFUSED TO PICK THE CAR UP AND CALLED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME NOT TO PICK THE CAR UP, THAT IT WAS DANGEOUS TO DRIVE IT. THE NEXT WEEKI WAS AGAIN TOLD TO COME AND PICK THE CAR UP, THIS TIME BY BOTH THE DEALER AT CALIFORNIA SUPERSTORES, VALENCIA, CA AND BY THE CORPORATE PEOPLE AT CHRYSLER, AND TOLD THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THE CAR JUST RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IT. I OPENED A CLAIM WITHCHRYSLER CORP. ABOUT THE CAR STALLING OUT BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK ABOUT ANY FIX OR RECALL. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I AM NOT RECEIVING ANY HELP FROM THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER CORP. I PAID ALMOST $38,000 FOR THE CAR AND DO NOT EVEN WANT TO DRIVE IT OR HAVE MY FAMILY IN IT DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT COULD STALL AGAIN (IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES), THE STEERING GO OUT, AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT HARMING US OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADWAYS.

I STARTED MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND STEPPED OUTSIDE TO ASSIST MY SON WHO WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. BEFORE I COULD WALK AROUND, FROM BEHIND, THE JEEP STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS, PICKING UP SPEED, AND HITTING ANOTHER PARKED SUV. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED JUST "ASSUMED" MY SON, ACCIDENTALLY, TOUCHED THE GEARS, BUT WONDERED HOW/WHY WOULD THE JEEP MOVE WITHOUT THE BRAKE EVER BEING DEPRESSED. THEIR WAS REAR DAMAGE TO MY SUV AND REAR/FRONT DAMAGE TO THE OTHER PERSON'S CAR. IT IS NOW BEING PUBLISHED THAT BOTH THE 2014 AND 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF ROLLING ON THEIR OWN--IT NOW EXPLAINS EVERYTHING--MY SUV DID IT. IT WAS NOT PARKED ON A SLOPE, HILL, OR ANY TYPE OF INCLINE--JUST A FLAT SURFACE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 80 MPH, A VERY LARGE BUCK RAN IN FRONT OF THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER DRIVING BACK BY TO SEE THE DEER THE NEXT DAY IT WAS PROBABLY AROUND 300 LBS. THE ENTIRE FRONT PORTION OF MY VEHICLE WAS CAVED IN. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHATSOEVER. HITTING SOMETHING SO MASSIVE AT SUCH A HIGH RATE OF SPEED SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED SOME SORT OF SAFETY MECHANISM I.E (AIRBAGS!!!!!)

VEHICLE WAS LEFT UNATTENDED FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND IT ROLLED ABOUT 100 FEET, THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AND ACROSS A ROAD AND DOWN A LEVEE WHERE IT HIT A TREE ON THE LEFT FRONT SIDE. THE DRIVER WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HIT THE TREE. THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND THERE WAS NO CITATION ISSUED. THERE WAS NO OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE OTHER THAN TO THE VEHICLE AND THE BOAT TRAILER. THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE LESS THE DEDUCTIBLE.

I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND A TOTAL OF 5 RECALLS. I HAVE HAD TIME IN COURT TRYING TO FIGHT IT USING THE LEMON LAW BUT LOST BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING AN ATTORNEY AND A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST I COULDN'T AFFORD EITHER. I NOTICE MY PROBLEMS AT 1900 MILES BUT I LOST BECAUSE THEY SAID I USED IT FOR COMMERCIAL USE WHICH I DON'T BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE IT REGISTERED AS A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE I JUST DRIVE A LOT FOR WORK AT THE TIME. THIS VEHICLE HAS CAUSED ME LOADS OF STRESS SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY KIDS AROUND. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED I'M AT MY WITS END.

WHILE TRAVELING PERFECTLY FINE FOR 2 HOURS ON AN EXPRESSWAY, OUR VEHICLE BECAME COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE AS THE ROAD BECAME SLIGHTLY SLIPPERY AND WE DECREASED OUR SPEED TO AROUND 45 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING, THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS DRIVING ITSELF, SHIMMYING LEFT AND RIGHT UNCONTROLLABLY. WE COULD NOT CORRECT THE VEHICLE FROM SLIGHTLY FISHTAILING EVEN AFTER REMOVING PRESSURE FROM ACCELERATOR AND REDUCING SPEED TO 5-10 MPH AND DRIVING ON THE SHOULDER WHERE THERE WAS MORE TRACTION. WE WERE TOTALLY UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. WE SWITCHED THE SELECT-TERRAIN KNOB TO "SNOW" TO SEE IF THAT HELPED, BUT IT CONTINUED TO BE VIRTUALLY UNCONTROLLABLE. WE WERE AFRAID TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE DUE TO ALL OTHER TRAFFIC FLYING PAST US GOING NORMAL SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE MIRACULOUSLY MADE IT TO A GAS STATION RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOOK IT OUT FOR TWO DIFFERENT DRIVES AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND COULD FIND NO ERROR CODES. WE ALSO INQUIRED IF IT WAS PART OF THE P64 RECALL REGARDING THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL STABILITY AND WERE TOLD NO EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL ADDRESSES.THIS WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD IN A VEHICLE. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY VEHICLES IN OUR IMMEDIATE VICINITY AT THE ONSET OF THE ISSUE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. TWO OTHER SIMILAR, BUT LESS INTENSE SCENARIOS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE THIS ONE, BOTH INCLUDING THE SAME FEELING OF BEING OUT OF CONTROL, ONCE ON A RAINY ROAD SERVICE, AND THE OTHER ON AN INTERMITTENTLY SLIPPERY ROAD. BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND ONE THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, WE REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AGAIN. *TR

ON SAFECAR.GOV, I NOTED PREVIOUS 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE COMPLAINTS CONCERNED WITH THE TRANSMISSION POPPING ONLY INTO NEUTRAL; BUT, FOR US IT WAS POPPING ONLY INTO PARK. THE TOWING COMPANY DID OVER $3,000 WORTH OF FRONT-END DAMAGE TO VEHICLE IN ATTEMPTING TO TOW IT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS FROZEN IN PARK.

THERE ARE LIKELY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES WITH NO IDEA THAT THEIR FRONT AXLES ARE MALFUNCTIONING AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD LEAVE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED. *JS

WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM A FAMILY VACATION AT ABOUT 40 MPH MY SEAT BELT LIGHT STARTED FLASHING SAYING THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR SEAT BELT WAS NOT ENGAGED ALONG WITH THE LIGHTS AND DINGING ALARM SAYING THAT THE AIR BAG IS IN NEED OF SERVICE, THIS HAS NOT GONE OFF AND THE DINGING IS CONSTANT. I CALLED AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITED 4 HOURS FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER (AT LEAST 1 1/2 WEEKS) BUT WOULD NOT BE PROVIDING A RENTAL CAR SINCE THE CAR WAS STILL DRIVE ABLE AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PART WAS IN. I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE I AM IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY AND KNOW THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN/ RISK. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I REGRET MAKING THIS PURCHASE. *TR

OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. SEVERAL DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER WHICH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. OF THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THE DANGEROUS ONES INCLUDE: HEADLIGHTS SHUTTING OFF, DASHBOARD COMPLETELY SHUTTING, AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. WE HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING REPLACE IN OUR VEHICLE: BURNT WIRES IN OUR ENGINE HARNESS, FAULTY SOLENOID, ALTERNATOR, PCM, AND ABS MODULE. THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS. PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN DEC WE'VE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE 3-4 TIMES. WHILE WE HAVEN'T FILED FOR LEMON LAW YET, JEEP PROMISED US THAT THEY WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT REPLACING OUR VEHICLE AFTER A NUMBER OF PROBLEM. THEIR ANSWER TO US WAS TO WAIT TO SEE IF THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. WHILE WE MAY FILE FOR LEMON LAW, WE FEEL THAT IT WILL BE IMPORTANT THAT WE REPORT THESE ISSUES AS THEY ARE EXPERIENCED BY OTHER CONSUMERS ON FORUMS ACROSS THE INTERNET. *TR

SOON AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF THIS VEHICLE (9/27/13) I NOTICED THAT NOW AND AGAIN (4/5 TIMES) THERE WOULD BE A HESITATION FROM THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING TO THE NEXT HIGHER GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED. IT WAS SO SUBTLE THAT I FILED IT UNDER "NOTHING IS PERFECT", BUT WOULD KEEP SCORE. DON'T BE MISLED BY THE LOW MILEAGE ABOVE. THAT IS MY NEW NORMAL. A HEAD AND NECK INJURY IN 2001 FOLLOWED BY A LONG OVERDUE DIAGNOSIS OF SEVERE PTSD BY THE VA LEFT ME PRACTICALLY A "HOUSE HERMIT" AND DRIVING ANYWHERE INVOLVING DISTANCE REQUIRES HIRING A DRIVER. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN MY BEING ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE WOODS WITH A 911 BUTTON ATTACHED TO KEEP THE P/A IN CHECK. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS THAT FROM A STOP SIGN I TURNED ONTO THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO 55 WHEN AT ABOUT 50 THE TRANSMISSION HUNG, THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT RELEASE TO THE NEXT GEAR, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STRUGGLE UNTIL IT ALMOST STALLED. AS UNEXPECTEDLY AS IT HAD HUNG THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED, THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RECOVERED ""WITH A ROAR"" AND OFF WE WENT. (EXTRA RPM'S, ? COMPUTER/FUEL PUMP SAW NO PROBLEM) I'M SURE THAT IN THOSE SECONDS MY SPEED DROPPED 20 MPH'S WITH NO "WARNING", SUCH AS BRAKE LIGHTS HAD SOMEONE BEEN BEHIND ME. HAD THIS OCCURRED ENTERING A BUSY BELT-WAY, INTERSTATE, ETC., YOU CAN IMAGINE THE POSSIBLE MAY-HEM. DID SOME RESEARCH, GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD (AS EXPECTED FROM RESEARCH) THEIR COMPUTER SAW NO ABNORMALITIES AND SHOWED ME A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER TO PROVE IT. ASKED THEM TO SIGN A PIECE OF PAPER SAYING MY DRIVETRAIN WAS "JUST WONDERFUL" AND REAFFIRMING THAT CHRYSLER HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS JUST IN CASE I OR OTHERS WOUND UP DEAD OR MAIMED FROM "NO PROBLEMS". I NOW HAVE A "MORAL PROBLEM" SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS. *TR

THE DRIVER PULLED THE AUTOMOBILE INTO A DRIVEWAY ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE. THE DRIVER SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF USING THE PUSH BUTTON START/STOP. THE DRIVER RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE 10 MINUTES LATER, WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE DRIVER STARTED THE VEHICLE (FOOT ON BRAKE AS REQUIRED) USING PUSH BUTTON START/STOP. THE DRIVER ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE USING THE SHIFTING LEVER (WITH FOOT STILL ON BRAKE AS IS REQUIRED BY THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK (BTSI) SYSTEM). WHEN ENGAGED IN REVERSE, THE ENGINE REVVED TO A HIGH LEVEL, AND THE CAR TRAVELED IN REVERSE UP THE HILL (DRIVEWAY), THROUGH THE STREET, AND INTO A DITCH. SIDE AND FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. DRIVER BELIEVES THEY NEVER TOOK FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THE BRAKING WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO OVERCOME TORQUE OF THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE DAMAGE INCLUDES AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, CABIN ROOF LINER DETACHMENT, THREE BENT WHEELS, MINOR DAMAGE TO MUFFLER, MINOR BODY DAMAGE. DEALER CHECKED ELECTRONICS/INSTRUMENT RECORDINGS AND NOTED NOTHING UNUSUAL APPEARING, AND HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

FIRST INSTANCE: AT VEHICLE STARTUP, ELECTRONIC GAUGE CLUSTER IMMEDIATELY POSTED "SERVICE IMMEDIATELY" WARNINGS FOR ABS, AIR BAGS, 4X4 SUSPENSION, PARKSENSE, AMONG OTHERS. SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT OPERATIONAL. UNSURE IF BLIND SPOT MONITORING WAS OPERATIONAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. TURNING OFF IGNITION, OPENING DOORS, AND WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES DID NOT CLEAR THE ISSUE. AFTER WAITING OVERNIGHT, EVERYTHING WAS OPERABLE. AT FIRST SERVICE VISIT, DEALER RECONFIGURED PCM PER CHRYSLER AND RETURNED VEHICLE. SECOND INSTANCE: APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, THE ABOVE ISSUE RECURRED. WE COULD NOT MAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE ISSUE RECURRED ONCE MORE. THIS TIME, WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO DEALER. WHILE SERVICE WAS CLOSED, WE ASKED SOMEONE TO VERIFY THE CONDITION AND DOWNLOAD CODES. WE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. AT SERVICE VISIT, THE DEALER STATED THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS EVER HAPPENING, AND I TOLD THEM I HAD SEEN SEVERAL CASES ON JEEP INTERNET FORUMS OF AN ABS MODULE BEING REPLACED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH JEEP, DEALER INSTALLED NEW ABS MODULE. ALSO, WE WERE GIVEN A RENTAL CHRYSLER 300C FOR ONE DAY DURING THIS VISIT, AND IT FAILED TO START THE MORNING WE HAD IT DUE TO AN APPARENT ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND HAD TO BE TOWED FROM OUR GARAGE. JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER THE JEEP HAD THE ABS MODULE REPLACED, WE HAVE YET TO SEE RECURRENCE. HOWEVER, WHEN I ASKED CHRYSLER CASE MANAGER IF ALL SYSTEMS DISPLAYED AS NEEDING SERVICE DURING THIS ISSUE WERE TRULY MECHANICALLY WORKING OR NOT, SHE SAID THEY "PROBABLY" WERE. WHEN I QUESTIONED THAT RESPONSE, SHE STATED THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO PULL OVER AND HAVE VEHICLE TOWED IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SHE WOULD NOT CONFIRM THAT OTHER VEHICLES HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE OR IF THE ABS MODULE FIX WAS SUCCESSFUL IN THOSE CASES. *TR

VEHICLE IS SLOW WHEN SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS; PULLING AWAY FROM STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS NOT IN DRIVE AND GOING TO STALL. THIS COULD RESULT IN BEING REAR ENDED SINCE SO MANY DRIVERS SPEED AWAY WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN. IT SEEMS LIKE IT STUTTERS DURING SHIFTING. HAVING IT IN ECO-MODE HIGHLIGHTS THE ISSUE FURTHER. THE DOWN SHIFTING AT HIGHER SPEEDS FEELS LIKE A STICK SHIFT CAR, NOT NORMAL OR COMFORTABLE. EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY ACCELERATION IS OFTEN NOT VERY RESPONSIVE DURING ENTRANCE AND PASSING. THE GAS PEDAL IS VERY TOUCHY, NO WAY TO PULL AWAY SLOWLY, JUST TAKES OFF; THIS MIGHT BE PART OF THE ISSUE, CONFUSING THE SENSORS DURING SHIFTING. I CONTACTED MY SALES PERSON WHO SAID HE'D HAVE A SERVICE TECH CONTACT ME, NO CALLS YET. I WISH I HAD CHECKED THIS SITE AND EDMUNDS BEFORE BUYING, AS I WOULD HAVE CHOSE A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER. THIS IS MY 4TH JEEP GR CHEROKEE, UNFORTUNATELY THE LEAST DESIRABLE, MY '09 HAD ZERO ISSUES AND ORIGINAL BRAKES AT TRADE IN WITH OVER 105,000 MILES; '14 IS LIKELY MY LAST. *TR
