The active head restraint deployed September 30, 2025 overnight while my Jeep was parked on my driveway. The restraint has not been repaired and is available for inspection. If this head restraint would have deployed while driving with my wife I believe it would have injured her. I believe there is a defective part in the head restraint. I brought it to the dealer where I purchased the Jeep. I was told there was and extended warranty but it ended Sept. 25, 2024 so my active head restraint is not covered. I was never notified by FCA or the dealer about this extended warranty. There was no warning that addressed this issue. I spoke with numerous Customer Service Specialists about my situation and they said I would have to purchase a replacement head restraint.

Aug 22, 2025

The headrests on both my drivers and passenger side popped out. This seems to be a reoccuring issue with Jeeps and it happened while I was driving. The airbags have not been deployed and I was not in an accident. They will not go back in and Jeep wants $750 to replace each as they are not covered under a recall.

Aug 11, 2025

Component/System Involved: Active head restraint (headrest) – deployed without cause. The component is available for inspection upon request. I also have photos documenting the incident. Description of Incident: On August 6, 2025, at approximately 5:40 PM, while driving home from work at around 35 MPH, the driver-side headrest deployed suddenly and forcefully, striking the back of my head. There was no sudden braking, no impact, and no vehicle in front of me. The deployment was completely unprovoked and occurred under normal driving conditions. Safety Risk: This unexpected deployment posed a serious safety risk. It could have caused me to lose control of the vehicle and potentially crash. I am currently experiencing neck and upper back pain as a result. Reproducibility: The issue has not yet been inspected or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, as it occurred just last night. Inspection: The vehicle and the headrest component have not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Warning Signs: There were no warning lamps, messages, or any other symptoms prior to the failure. The deployment occurred without any indication or cause.

The engine overheated due a coolant leak causing head gasket failure. The engine will now most likely need to be replaced. The engine is 3.0 ecodeiesel which was part of the FCA settlement . There were no warning signs. Engine overheated with dealership while getting the fuel tank pump replaced. Dealer confirmed issue.

Sep 27, 2024

I have owned this vehicle for 9 years and the vehicle has had an issue with the electronic fuel pump since I bought it. I would take pictures of the warning showing the error message. I have had the vehicle in the shop more than 10 times for the same symptoms and begged them to replace what the computer is saying was the problem. I have spent over $9,000 on repairs and I continue to get the same message, The check engine light is on continuously and every time I bring it in they say it is not that it is something else and they replace something not related. Then the recall came out for the High Pressure Fuel Pump which was apparently the issue for the entire time like the on board computer had been stating was the issue. I have replaced the Thermostat when there was no over heating issue, the alternator when there was no electrical issue, the Particulate filter because they said that was what was causing it to go into crawl mode which it still does periodically when it rains out. The recall was issued on 6/9/2022 and it is still not repaired. There is no telling what other internal damage was done over the 9 years of not replacing what was the issue the entire time.

AIR BAGS

47 complaints

I was driving my car going 30-35mph when all of a sudden my driver's side headrest popped me in the back of my head as if the airbag in the headrest was deployed. I was not involved in any collision for this to occur nor was there a bump in the road that would have caused it. It startled me thinking someone was in the back of my car and hit me, but that was not the case. There were no warning signs or lights telling me to get any of my components inspected. I took it to the Mopar Service Department for inspection, and they said it's a known issue for Jeeps, but there is no recall.

Oct 15, 2025

The panel that holds in the knee airbags under the steering wheel came open for no reason and exposed the air bag. The vehicle was not involved in a crash and appears to be a manufacture workmanship issue.

Dec 31, 2024

Passenger headrest exploded suddenly while driving on highway at highway speeds. Loud bang which made me swerve. No accident or incident preceded, it just exploded. if someone like my wife with neck problems was in the seat she could have been injured. I was told that Jeep has extended the warranty on this item and it appears this happens often. Had this happened to the drivers one I may have had an accident. I suggest they replace drivers headrests to stop an accident in the future.

Sep 24, 2024

Air bags failed to deploy during major MVA. Sensors clearly should have been hit (see images). The vehicle is no longer in my possession. Safety- driver knocked unconscious likely from hitting head on steering wheel. If the vehicle did not collapse the way that it did, major injuries or death would have occurred with the airbags failing to deploy. Reproduced- unsure Vehicle was collect and assessed by the insurance company. There were no warning lights prior to the accident.

SEAT BELTS

Passenger seatbelt does not retract at all. Only 60k miles.

Jun 30, 2025

January 2, 2025 - the front passenger seat belt failed to retract. Since we always use the seatbelts when in our vehicle, we have not had anyone sit in that seat since. There were no warning lights, messages or hint of a problem prior to this failure. January 30, 2025 took the vehicle to the local Jeep dealer to have the problem looked at. Per the service order, seat belt was inspected using X90 instructions and it failed. Replacement part ( 1VL06DX9AG) was ordered and I was told it would be 2-4 weeks before the part would be available. February thru early May I would visit the local Jeep dealer, as well as other Jeep dealers I may drive by, to see if the part was available and I was told it was backordered and the waiting list for it was growing. May 28, 2025 - Jeep dealer service rep called me to say that it was still back ordered with no idea on when part would be coming in. Until repaired I remain unable to use the front passenger seat.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The electronic shifter goes out of gear showing a long line with no gear letter while I am driving. I have to hurry and put it in a gear. It has done that while driving at a fast speed and a low speed. It scared me when I was on the highway going between 70 and 85. At first I didn’t know what to do whether to apply brakes or shift back in gear. I couldn’t apply brakes because someone was right behind me so I grab the shifter and push the button and put back in drive. That happened to me about three or four times going to work on a busy highway.

Injuries: 1

While driving downtown Atlanta, Ga I heard a loud noise and then a hit in the back of my head. I was startled at first not knowing what had happened. I first thought maybe I way hit by another vehicle, or someone may have thrown something from the overpass. I got off the interstate and found the head rest had blown open. I have since learned that possibly the car maker is aware of the problem, I don't know if the car maker is fixing the problem. I see where this could have negative results to owners that already have neck and back problems, another big concern is having an accident.

I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the front seat headrest popped out while I was driving at 35 miles per hour. My daughter was sitting there, and fortunately, no injuries occurred. This happened on the passenger side, but six months ago, it happened on the driver’s side as well, which I replaced with a used part for $200. This is definitely a dangerous defect and needs to be added to the recall list.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

This is in reference to recall #Z46/NHTSA 22V-406 On June 11 2025 I had my Jeep at the dealer for an unrelated problem. The next day when the dealer called me to let me now that my Jeep was ready they mentioned they preformed the high pressure fuel pump recall. I figured no big deal, no additional trip to dealer for the recall. After getting my vehicle home I looked in to what exactly was done as part of the recall. I also found the instructions for the work to be done and the parts to be replaced as part of this recall. The dealer only preformed part of the recall, they replaced the pump the filters and left the label pack in an envelope in the vehicle. When I called them the next day to ask why the additional parts were not installed they said that they do do that part of the recall for no contaminated vehicles. In the instructions for the recall it states numerous times that the high pressure fuel lines are one time use and to discard and replace the lines. In their own service instructions for high pressure fuel lines or whenever the lines need to be removed for a repair the fuel lines are to be replaced. I have had to pay for fuel lines in the past on a repair that required removal. So my question is are dealers required to replace one time use parts only when the customer is paying? same for the EGR tube and gasket. This recall was serious enough to cause a nation wide stop sale order on all dealer stock. the dealer that did this work is West Valley Chrysler Jeep Dodge 4174 West 3500 South West Valley City UT 84120 (801) 955-0872 Any help with this would be appreciated.

The HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) on this vehicle fails causing a fuel lapse and loss of power. I have taken it to two different dealers and they say the HPFP is on recall but not available. The vehicle was available for inspection but neither dealer performed this. When the HPFP fails the engine light comes on and the electronic throttle control light comes on. This started in September of 2023 and has repeated several times. The recall for the HPFP has been announced for quite awhile but nothing has been done about it.

My 2015 Grand Cherokee has a Service Shifter warning that has come on and causes the transmission to jump while driving. I've taken this problem to the dealership and was initially charged for a new shifter and wiring harness. Two weeks later the problem returned. I took the car back again and was told the system wasn't reset. Two weeks later problem returned. Took it back to dealership and was charged to reset two more codes. Two weeks later the problem returned. Took it back to the dealership and was told power steering pump had leak and was traveling to the area where the sensor was causing it to go off. Paid for more repairs and now 4 days later the service shifter light is back on and more frequently than before. This issue nor should any issue cause someone to continuously miss work to deal with a problem that has caused at least one fatality that's well known about. Nor should it cause an expense every time the vehicle is brought in. This is a problem that could cause serious harm if not addressed and if the problem cannot be addressed then at the very least someone should be willing to say so instead of grasping at straws trying to fix an unfixable problem.

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

While driving at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly lost power, displayed a low oil pressure warning, and became inoperable. The vehicle had to be towed. Dealer initially claimed “overfilled oil,” but an independent oil analysis (Blackstone Labs) confirmed excessive fuel dilution (5.5%), indicating contamination of the oil system. This vehicle is covered by NHTSA Recalls 22V-406 (FCA Z46) and 23V-263 (FCA 01A) related to premature failure of the Bosch CP4 high-pressure fuel pump. Recall documents state: “A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.” The vehicle’s failure aligns with this description. Dealer has not yet performed an HPFP inspection despite recall requirements. Request: NHTSA investigate whether fuel dilution and catastrophic failure are linked to the CP4 HPFP defect covered by these recalls.

tone ring issue not resolved

Mar 19, 2024

While returning home from vacation, the high pressure fuel pump on my vehicle failed. This happened while in heavy traffic traveling 70mph on I-95. This incident left myself, my husband, and my four month old infant at the time stranded on the I-95 shoulder in 90 degree heat for three hours. My husband was barely able to maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder after all power was lost and the car was billowing smoke. The problem was confirmed by the dealer. The dealer inspected and replaced the high pressure fuel pump and other fuel system components four months later but failed to inspect other engine components for damage related to the high pressure fuel pump failing. Because of the lack of thorough inspection, when the service person at the dealer started the engine again, the engine completely failed. The dealer and Jeep are refusing to honor the recall and repair my engine due to a recalled item failing. Prior to the high pressure fuel pump imploding and ripping shrapnel through the entire fuel system and engine, a yellow check engine light came on. While trying to find a safe place to pull over while traveling 70mph in heavy traffic on I-95, diesel began pouring out of the bottom of the vehicle, smoke started billowing out of the engine, a handful of warning lights flashed across the screen, and all power was lost to the car. This happened in less than approximately 5mins/10miles from the yellow check engine light initially appearing. Prior to this incident, there were no sounds or warning signs that there was something internally wrong with the engine.

SERVICE BRAKES

Have noticed upon driving brakes on left front side would catch and grab sone shaking as well.

Jul 15, 2023

THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATES ON THE HIGHWAY FOR REASON. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER REPEATEDLY DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. IT ACTIVATES AT TIMES WITH NOBODY IN FRONT OF ME AND SOMETIMES WITH A CLEAR LANE AHEAD OF ME AND A TRUCK NEXT TO ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THREE YEARS AGO.

Nov 29, 2018

MY VEHICLE HAS ACTIVE COLLISION PROTECTION. THE SYSTEM IS AWESOME HOWEVER IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE ASSUMES YOUR DEPTH PERCEPTION AND SENSES WILL AVOID A COLLISION. I THINK THE VEHICLE COMPUTER AND SENSORS SHOULD STILL MAKE THE ULTIMATE DECISION TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO, SHOULD THERE NOT BE A SENSOR FOR TEMPERATURE IN THIS SYSTEM TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY FOR ICE AND SNOW? THANK YOU.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

14 complaints

High beams are not activating when enabled from the steering column. Both automatic and manual switches for the vehicles high beams do not enable the lighting in front of the car. The odometer also does not signal the high beams are active in this scenario as well.

Feb 11, 2024

While driving ALL headlights suddenly went out. This has happened a few times now while waiting for our service appointment. It has occurred in both high and low beam configurations. The lights have failed when the dash switch is in the Auto OR in the On positions. The vehicle is definitely available for inspection, however it is currently being serviced for this defect. Failure of all forward-facing lights could be fatal at speed. We were in our driveway and on small town streets when it has occurred, but next time? We showed the service representative a video of the failure recorded 09/21/2022 in our driveway, high beams on and switch in Auto position when all lights failed. The video is available to nhtsa if requested. Upload formats, below, don't include the MOV (iPhone video) format. The lights failed without visible warnings, messages, or symptoms. I did not check for OBDII codes.

HALO LIGHTS IN 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE WENT OUT. THIS IS NOT A LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT IS $1600 FOR JUST THE PART. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY SO WHEN I CALLED JEEP TO COMPLAIN THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH ADVISED ME THAT SHE GETS THIS COMPLAINT FREQUENTLY. LIGHTING ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE IS IMPORTANT. WHY WOULD JEEP PUT A PART ON A CAR THAT YOU CANNOT REPLACE OR CHANGE A BULB AND IF IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECT OF SOME SORT.

MY FAMILY (1 YEAR OLD, 4 YEAR OLD, DOG, WIFE, AND I) WERE DRIVING FROM NC TO NY. WE STOPPED OUTSIDE OF ERIE SO I COULD GET SOME FOOD AND MY WIFE COULD WALK THE DOG. FOR A FEW MINUTES SHE TOLD BY THE CAR WITH THE DOOR OPEN WALKING THE DOG WHILE I GOT FOOD. WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND SHE SAID SOMETHING SMELLED FUNNY. I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW NOTHING SO WE HEADED BACK ON I-90. AS SOON AS WE GOT ON THE HIGHWAY WE SAW SMOKE AND PULLED OFF IMMEDIATELY. WE GOT THE KIDS AND DOG OUT AWAY FROM THE JEEP AND I WENT BACK TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. I NOTICED NOW THE BACK SEAT WAS SMOKING AND REALIZED IT WAS THE PILLOW THAT MY WIFE HAD PUT BY HER FEET. IN THE LITTLE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THE PILLOW WAS DOWN THERE WITH THE DOOR OPEN IT CAUGHT THE PILLOW ON FIRE WHICH THEN CAUGHT THE DOGS BED ON FIRE. I REPLACED THE LIGHT AND CHECKED IT AND NOTICED WITHIN SECONDS IT GET BURNING HOT AND THERE IS NO COVER OR PROTECTION FROM THIS BULB AT ALL.

I was driving on a clear sunny day on a fairly open freeway when my sunroof spontaneously exploded. There was a very large bang that sounded like a gunshot and the glass shattered. Fortunately I had the shade guard closed, otherwise it would have rained down on me. I am very confident it was not a rock or something hitting the sunroof. Had the glass fallen on me, I could easily have gotten it in my eyes and lost control of the car and potentially caused an accident.

Mar 31, 2022

MY JEEP WAS PARKED ON A LEVEL AREA WHILE IT WAS RAINING AND WHEN I OPENED MY TRUNK I NOTICED WATER LEAKING INTO THE TRUNK AREA FROM THE CEILING FLOWING RATHER QUICKLY. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE AREA WHERE THE PASSENGER REAR QUARTER PANEL AND THE ROOF MEET. IT NEVER LEAKED BEFORE AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED (NO ACCIDENTS ETC) TO COMPROMISE THE JEEP. NOT SURE IF ONE OF THE SEALS IS STARTING TO FAIL.

MY JEEP IS EQUIPPED WITH A PANORAMIC SUNROOF. UNDERNEATH THE HEADLINER, YOU CAN HEAR A TAPPING NOICE WHILE DRIVING ON UNEVEN SURFACES. THIS NOISE IS PRESENT EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON PAVED ROADS THAT HAVE SMALL BUMPS OR ROCKS. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A PIECE OF THE PLASTIC OR METAL TRACK IS LOOSE, CAUSING IT TO TAP THE METAL BODY OR THE GLASS OF THE ROOF. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CONCERNS THAT MATCH THIS DESCRIPTION WHEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON JEEP THREADS AND BLOGS. IN ADDING, AFTER I CALLED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT REGARDING THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF.

SUSPENSION

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that upon pulling into the driveway at 5 MPH, there was an abnormal snapping sound coming from the vehicle. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the rear cradle bolts attached to the suspension had failed. The contact stated that the failure caused damages the driveshaft, muffler, air bags, air suspension, and several other parts on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but was offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 154,000.

Air suspension warning needs to be replaced

Apr 10, 2025

The front suspension makes a creaking noise when it gets cold outside and gets worse the colder it gets. It was like that when I bought it from the dealership, but they would not let me test drive the vehicle on the road. They also had to replace the radiator. With the suspension acting up, it was knocking the front end out of alignment, so the dealership did an alignment for me. 3 months later the creaking noise is getting worse and my front end is out of alignment again. The dealership refuses to do anything about it. I am afraid my suspension is going to fail and I am going to wreck my Jeep going down the highway.

Dec 05, 2021

A WARNING FLASHED TEMPORARILY ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A NORMAL PAVED ROAD INDICATING A SUSPENSION PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WHEN I PARKED THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WAS COMPLETELY INFLATED ON THE VEHICLE WHICH MADE IT APPEAR LIFTED HIGH ABOVE THE TIRES. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. NOTHING PRIOR TO THIS POINT MADE ME THINK THERE WAS A PENDING PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION.. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LEGITIMATE JEEP DEALERSHIP TRUSTING IN THEIR TRAINED TECHNICIANS. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 21 DAYS, EACH DAY TELLING ME THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS WRONG. THE DEALERSHIP EVEN HAD TO CONSULT WITH CORPORATE ENGINEERS TO ULTIMATELY FIX THE PROBLEM. THE COST TO ME WAS $1525.00

I have had several incidents where the car was not responding properly such as fob key unlocking car, even with brand new battery, I’d have to unlock car manually but alarm would go off for 10min+ then randomly stop and car would allow me turn it on. Sunroof wouldn’t work properly and get stuck. One night ( about 8/12) car lights turn on and off and power gate lift opens randomly and battery catches fire which is extreme danger. Someone was able to put it out in time. This is a fairly new battery. Car has been in dealership for about 3 weeks now and I have been told that the body control module failed causing non stop current to the battery causing it to explode. I am now being charged $1600~ for repair/ parts.

MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS AN EXPANSION VALVE LEAK, WHICH IS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE (SINCE FCA DECIDED TO INSTALL THE EXPANSION VALVE IN THE CAR BEHIND THE DASHBOARD). THE LEAK IS A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISK. THE SYSTEM ALSO MAKES A CONSTANT HUMMING NOISE SINCE ITS LOW ON FREON. I HAD IT FULLY RECHARGED AND IN A MATTER OF MONTHS ALL OF THE FREON LEAKED INTO MY CAR! THIS IS POISONOUS GAS LEAKING INTO PEOPLES VEHICLES!! I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME UPWARDS OF $1,700 TO FIX THE ISSUE, WHICH BASED ON OTHER ONLINE POSTINGS BY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY UPDATED THE CAR'S UCONNECT SOFTWARE TO THE MOST RECENT VERSION RELEASED, AND NOW MY 911 PHONE OPTION AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS. MY UNDERSTAND IS THAT UCONNECT SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED TO USE 4G TECHNOLOGY, BUT MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS 2015 3G TECHNOLOGY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FCA WOULD PUNISH THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS BY PUSHING THIS TYPE OF UPGRADE, IN THE PROCESS COMPLETELY MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS NAVIGATION SYSTEMS USELESS. APPARENTLY THE PARTS ALONE ARE IN THE $1,000 + RANGE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE NAVIGATION UNIT. THE 911 PHONE OPTION SHOULD AT A MINIMUM BE A SAFETY REQUIREMENT, AND FCA PUSHING THEIR SOFTWARE UPGRADE COMPLETELY DISABLED THIS. I CALLED UCONNECT BUT THEY ARE OF NO HELP. I HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME JEEP OWNER, PURCHASING DIFFERENT MODELS OVER THE YEAR, BUT I DON'T THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO BUY ANOTHER JEEP IF FCA CAN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

I WAS EASING OUR 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A TRAIL HEAD PARKING LOT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I FULLY ENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT FULL THROTTLE OVER THE TOP OF A 2.5 FT BY 2.5 FT CEMENT BLOCK PARKING BARRIER. IT DRAGGED THE CEMENT BLOCK ABOUT 20-25 FT. I CONTINUED TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND AFTER ABOUT 40 FT, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. IT WAS TERRIFYING NOT TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE IS YET TO BE DETERMINED, BUT EVEN IF IT IS REPAIRED, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE TOTALED AND NOT RESOLD TO ANYONE ELSE.

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR (ON A HIGHWAY), ON TWO OCCASIONS WORKING 24 HOURS, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL WITH NO MANIPULATION OF THE SHIFTER. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE IMPENDING LOSS OF MECHANICAL POWER TO THE DRIVE WHEELS, AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. NO OTHER SYSTEMS (BRAKES OR POWER STEERING AS WELL AS OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS APPEARED TO BE AFFECTED. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER AND COMPLETELY STOPPED, I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE, BUT WAS PROMPTED 'SHIFT NOT ALLOWED - VEHICLE SPEED TOO HIGH' DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE SPEEDOMETER READ 0 MPH. NEXT, I PUSHED THE START/STOP BUTTON AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT POWER DOWN, BUT DID ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THE ERROR HAS NOT REPLICATED MORE THAN ONCE PER START UP SEQUENCE (IF IT HAPPENS ONCE WHILE DRIVING, PULL OVER AND RESTART, THE ERROR SEEMS TO NOT RECUR FOR THE DURATION THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP). OIL PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE WERE REPORTED AS WITHIN NORMAL OPERATING RANGES. I CHECKED THE VEHICLES OIL LEVEL WHICH WAS WITHIN THE 'SAFE' ZONE ON THE DIPSTICK. THE VEHICLE HAD OVER 1/2 A TANK OF GAS. THIS ISSUE IS NEW TO THE UNIT, WITH OVER 16 MONTHS OF OPERATING THE VEHICLE IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED WITHIN THE PAST 24 HOURS. THE ISSUE IS NOT PRECEDED BY ANY NOTIFICATION, AND NO MIL'S WERE ACTIVATED EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE TO SHIFT. IT IS WORTH NOTING THE KEY FOB IS LOW ON BATTERY, BUT THE ISSUE OCCURS SOLELY IN MOTION. I WILL BE VISITING THE DEALER PRIOR FOR TROUBLESHOOTING PRIOR TO OPERATING THE VEHICLE AGAIN.

MY VEHICLE'S BODY WAS DAMAGED DUE TO IT NOT GOING INTO PARK. I WAS BACKING A TRAILER INTO A GARAGE AND PUT IT IN PARK WHEN IT WAS STATIONARY. WHEN I GOT IT, IT ROLLED BACK, CAUSING BODY DAMAGE.

Crash: 1

AFTER PLACING MY VEHICLE IN PARK ON A FLAT SURFACE PARKING LOT AND GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE IT STARTED TO ROLL BACK STRIKING ANOTHER CAR. IT CAUSED MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE REAR BUMPER WHICH COSTED ME $200.00 TO REPLACE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALT WHO STATED ITS WAS USER ERROR AT THE TIME. NOW I'M STARTING TO SEE AND HEAR ABOUT OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, SO I KNOW FOR SURE IT WASN'T USER ERROR. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AS I HAVE TO DOUBLE CLUTCH IT TWICE FOR IT TO READ PARKED. I PAY TO MUCH A MONTH FOR A VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH, INJURY OR ADDITION DAMAGES THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT IS RELATED TO THE MONOSTABLE GEAR SHIFTER ON MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THAT I INITIALLY ATTRIBUTED TO MY OWN ERROR, ALTHOUGH I HAD A HARD TIME BELIEVING I JUST GOT OUT OF THE CAR WITH IT STILL IN GEAR. WHEN I SAW THE NATIONAL NEWS COVERAGE AFTER THE TRAGIC DEATH OF ACTOR A. YELCHIN AND THE SAFETY RECALL, I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT MY INCIDENT MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM. ....UPDATED 0711/16 *BF HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED: I STARTED BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ON MY WAY TO A MEETING, THEN REALIZED I LEFT MY WATER BOTTLE IN THE FRIDGE ' SO I PULLED BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND WALKED THROUGH MY GARAGE INTO THE HOUSE. I WALKED TO THE FRIDGE, GRABBED THE WATER, SAID A FEW WORDS TO MY WIFE AND KIDS, AND HEADED FOR THE DOOR. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR, I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE MY CAR ROLLING TOWARD ME. IT HAD BEEN APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS SINCE I GOT OUT OF THE CAR. LUCKILY, MY CAR ROLLED INTO MY WIFE'S 2008 JEEP PATRIOT, WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THIS RESULTED IN MINOR BODY DAMAGE TO BOTH OF OUR VEHICLES (SEE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE. I'VE SINCE APPLIED TOUCH-UP PAINT ON MY CAR TO PREVENT RUST, ETC). HAD MY CAR BEEN SIX INCHES TO THE RIGHT, IT WOULD HAVE MISSED MY WIFE'S CAR AND ROLLED DIRECTLY AT THE DOOR I WAS WALKING OUT OF. WHILE THE DRIVEWAY HAS A LITTLE SLOPE TO IT, THE GARAGE IS FLAT, SO THE CAR WOULD HAVE PICKED UP ADDITIONAL SPEED BEFORE HITTING THE HOUSE, AND MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS WERE RIGHT BEHIND ME IN THE KITCHEN. MY KIDS WERE PLAYING OUTSIDE AND IN THE GARAGE JUST BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, AND HAD LUCKILY JUST GONE IN TO EAT DINNER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH, MUCH WORSE OUTCOME. I'M INTERESTED IN HAVING THE SHIFTER FIXED AS PART OF THE RECALL, AND WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE FIAT CHRYSLER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLES. UPDATED 11/17/17*JS

I can hear My Jeep clicking into every gear and making a ticking noise this is because of the faulty shifter in these jeeps. Also the computer isn’t working correctly software is to old to update.

On April 23rd at 9:28pm I was driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 on a highway at approximately 45mph when suddenly the transmission slipped to neutral without any human interference. I tried shifting it back to drive but the transmission did not respond. The Jeep lost momentum very quickly and came to a complete stop in the highway. As soon as it went to a complete stop it locked itself in parking position and l lost all ability to put it back to drive. I turned my blinkers and emergency lights on, but one minute later I got rear-ended by a car traveling at 50mph. My Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 got totaled and I was taken to the hospital in stable condition. I was in a bad collision due to the Jeep slipping into neutral and locking itself in parking. I lost ALL ability to control my Jeep. The jeep got towed to a safe location. Two weeks later, we needed to move the car to another area for the insurance inspection. The car turned on and moved, yet again when the car gained velocity, the gear slipped to neutral and again came to a complete stop it, locking the transmission in the parking position. I always took my car for regular maintenance and it was a very well kept Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015.

MY CAR GOES FROM DRIVE, TO PARK, TO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE WITH LITTLE TO NO TOUCH OF THE GEAR SHIFTER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS RECENTLY ASSUMING I WAS STILL IN DRIVE MODE, NOTED THAT THE GEAR HAD ACTUALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. HAD IT SHIFTED TO REVERSE INSTEAD, MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT, LIKELY FOUND TO BE AT FAULT, CONSEQUENTLY ALSO FACING FINANCIAL ANGUISH. ALSO, THE GEAR SHIFTS WHILE IN MOTION, WHICH IS EVEN ADDITIONALLY DANGEROUS BEING THAT I LIVE IN A CITY WHERE THE HIGHWAY IS MY PRIMARY METHOD OF TRAVELING.

WHEELS

6 complaints

After a very long road trip, I noticed that the rear wheel well liners had come in contact with the rear tires. The contact was severe enough and prolonged enough to wear down the edge of the tires to the cords. Once I noticed the damage, I stopped driving the vehicle until I could get new tires. I do not have the tires but I took pictures and the wheel well liners still have a hole in them. Had I not noticed the damage, a catastrophic failure of the tire could have resulted with unknow consequences to myself or those driving near me. The wheel well liners did not come loose or detached from the vehicle. They somehow flexed forward and made contact with the tire. The tire/wheel did not flex or move rearward. This would have required major damage to the suspension of the vehicle and the vehicle would have been undrivable. My assumption is that with the very wet road conditions, the wheel well liners became very flexible but not enough to contact the tires. At highway speeds, due to the air flow around the vehicle, it appears that the lower quarter panels flexed inwards. This allowed the now flexible wheel well liner to flex forward, due to air pressure behind the wheel well liner, and make contact with the tire. Tire tires involved are not the stock make and model but were the stock size. I will be adding a small aluminum strip to the bottom of the wheel well liner to prevent this from happening in the future.

WE PURCHASED 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN 2016 APPROXIMATELY 2.5 YEARS LATER WE ATTEMPTED TO GET NEW TIRES PUT ON. WE WENT TO TIRE STORE & THEY STATED THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE DEFECTIVE.. THEY STATED THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN AND IF THEY WERE TO FORCE THE LUG NUTS OFF IT WOULD RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. AS WE HAD A LENGTHY ROAD TRIP PLANNED, WE WERE FORCED TO GO TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. BOTH THE INITIAL SERVICE WRITER, ANDREW, AND LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER, JOHN WILSON, AGREED THE LUG NUTS WERE DEFECTIVE. BUT THEY STATED IT WAS 'FCA''S FAULT AND GAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER OF 1-877-224-5356 I CALLED FCA SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL. I FEEL THAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A FLAT TIRE IN THE WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD AS WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN INOPERABLE. WE WERE CHARGED US $311.19 AND REFUSES TO GIVE US ANY RELIEF. THE SERVICE MANAGER OFFERED AN OIL CHANGE BUT THEY ARE 45 MINUTES AWAY FROM OUR HOME AND IT IS NOT PRACTICAL FOR US TO DO THIS. I AM HAPPY THAT WE DECIDED TO GET TIRES BEFORE WE LEFT SINCE THE STORY MAY HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT HAD WE HAD ANY ISSUES ON THIS TRIP AS OUR SAFETY MAY HAVE BEEN JEOPARDIZED. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE US AS WE ARE AFRAID THAT THEY LIKELY PUT DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT LUG NUTS BACK ON. THE LUG NUTS SWELL UP AND SPLIT APART WHEN THEY ARE BEING TAKEN OFF OF THE TIRES RENDERING VEHICLES INOPERABLE. MY HUSBAND STATED HE SAW ON LINE THAT FORD HAD A RECALL DUE TO DEFECTIVE LUG NUTS ON THEIR SUV'S AND I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO DO THE SAME. I FEEL THAT WE SHOULD BE GIVEN A FULL REFUND OF THE $311.19 WE WERE CHARGED AND THEY SHOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO PUT PROPER LUG NUTS ON ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. PLEASE HELP US AND HELP OTHERS. MUCH APPRECIATION & THANKS.

NHTSA: I HAVE BEEN IN AND AROUND THE TIRE BUSINESS MOST OF MY LIFE IN 2015 I PURCHASED A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 20' WHEELS AND TIRES. IN DECEMBER OF 2017 I LITERALLY GOT BLOWN OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH SEVERELY DAMAGING MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A CERTAIN PRESSURE PER SQUARE INCH FACTOR ON WIDE TIRES AS MINE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT KEEP ME ON THE ROAD AND THEY WERE HEAVILY SIPED WINTER RATED TIRES. I RECENTLY REPLACED THEM WITH AN OVERSIZE TIRE WITH A HIGH VOID TO RUBBER RATIO THAT PUTS MORE PRESSURE PER SQUARE INCH ON THE TREAD. I ALSO EXPERIENCED HYDROPLANING IN SLUSH DURING THE WINTER. SIMPLY TO ADVOCATE FOR KEEPING QUALITY TIRES TO STAY SAFE IS NOT ENOUGH. ONE OF THE BIGGEST HOAXES UPON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS AL ALL SEASON TIRE. THERE IS NO WAY THEY WILL MATCH THE HARD PACKED SNOW AND ICE SAFETY OF A DEDICATED ICE AND SNOW TIRE. THANKS FOR LISTENING.

I was driving in the high and when I went to accelerate the vehicle went into “limp” mode. I made it to the closest dealership to get checked. The dealership explained to me the tone wheel delaminated and that is the reason my check engine light came on.

THIS SHIFTER IS NOT VERY INTUITIVE, IT IS A NEWER ELECTRONIC SHIFTER AND IS NOT GATED AS MOST ARE. IT DOES NOT GIVE THE DRIVER GOOD FEEL OR FEEDBACK THAT THE CAR IS IN THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE. IF I HAD BEEN POINTED TO THE STREET THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO LOOK AT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE. CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE. I NOW SEE THE NHSTA IS LOOKING INTO MORE THAN 300 INCIDENTS OF THIS ROLLAWAY ISSUE. THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY MANY MORE SINCE MOST PEOPLE HAVE NOT REPORTED IT. I HAVE A BIG MONETARY ISSUE THIS HAS COST, MY INSURANCE HAS GONE UP 70% AS THEY THINK I WAS NEGLIGENT AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER/FIAT.

Last year while driving my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the headrest collision system went off for no reason, hitting me in the back of the head. Luckily I did not lose control of the vehicle and there was no collision or injury to myself. It was very scary, but I maintained control of the vehicle. I went to my local Jeep dealer Pembroke Pines Jeep Auto Nation at 13601Pines Blvd Suite A Pembroke Pines, FL 33027. They told me it was a known issue and the service person made an appointment for me later that week , at which they replaced the headrest at no cost to me under a recall service bulletin issued by Jeep/Stellantis. The same thing happened last week while driving, when the passenger side headrest activated for NO reason, this time striking my wife in the head. I went back to the same dealership. They told me that this headrest is no longer covered under the warranty which has now expired in April of 2025. and would cost $800 to repair. They told me to call Stellantis and see if they would cover the repair. I went home and called Stellantis, whose customer service agent advised me that he was going to escalate my concern to his supervisor. I got a call today and they told me that my car is not covered by any warranty and that I would be responsible for the repair. My car VIN number does not fall under the recall which has expired. He also told me that Stellantis is not responsible for the repair and he should ask the dealer to see if they would possibly split the cost of the repair with me. This could of been a very serious situation, had I lost control of the vehicle as a driver. I looked further online and in Jeep owners club forums and this seems to be a common problem with Jeeps and Dodge Durangos, both owned by Stellantis. This is a clear and dangerous safety issue!

Sep 05, 2025

On 6/14/2021 I got in my vehicle and noticed the driver side headrest was deployed outward. I can see broken plastic clips inside.

Jun 15, 2021

I THOUGHT SOMEHOW I BROKE MY HEADREST AND DIDN'T REALIZE. BUT WHEN I WENT TO LOOK IT UP AND TO MY SURPRISE I SEE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH HE SAME EXACT ISSUE. CAR WAS NOT MOVING AND WAS PARKED BEHIND MY BUSINESS, CAME BACK TO THE HEADREST DEPLOYED. SURPRISED JEEP HASN'T RECALLED THIS YET SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR ISSUE, CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING AND IT EXPLODED.

Dec 04, 2020

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC AND WE WERE NEARING A STOP SIGN WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE AND FELT SOMETHING HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD, THRUSTING MY HEAD FORWARD. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT THEN I DISCOVERED THAT MY HEADREST HAD SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. THE HEADREST IS UNABLE TO BE RESET BECAUSE THE PLASTIC PIECES THAT KEEP IT TOGETHER ARE BROKEN, WHICH APPEARS TO BE WHY IT SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN SUDDENLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED AND THE HEADREST SHOT FORWARD TOWARDS THE BACK OF MY HEAD. LUCKILY, I WAS SEATED FORWARD, LOOKING IN MY MIRRORS TO CHANGE LANES SO IT DID NOT HIT MY HEAD. TAKEN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE PLASTIC CLIPS INSIDE THE HEADREST SEEMED TO HAVE BROKEN AND CAUSED THE HEADREST TO DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY.

I was crossing a road to get to the median and my Jeep stopped moving in the middle of a 4 lane highway, separated by a median that I never made it to due to it stopping moving during acceleration. It made noise when I pressed on the gas pedal but didn’t go anywhere. I was hit by a car that couldn’t avoid me, and my daughter and I were injured in the crash. My daughter had a fracture in her right leg & facial bruising. I had a laceration requiring stitches and facial bruising, lost consciousness at the scene and am severely concussed. Progressive deemed my Jeep a total loss.

I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. While traveling down the highway at approximately 65mph, the entire dash began to blink in and out, all kinds of error symbols flashed, I lost power steering and the car switched itself in to neutral – this resulted in an accident. This car has been In and out of the shop for the past several months. Every time it looks like it fixed, the car’s computer seems to do as it pleases. I lose driving power, it switches itself in neutral or the dash throws error symbols. I am at a point where paying for constant ‘repairs’ and insurance is becoming way too costly. I do NOT feel safe riding with my family in this car!!!

ONE DAY WHEN LEAVING A BARBERSHOP MY WIFE TRIED TO START OUR JEEP AND IT WOULD NOT CRANK. IT WOULD TURN OVER, START FOR A SECOND THEN TURN OFF. AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE LONGER IT STARTED UP AND DROVE FINE. THIS PAST SUNDAY WE WERE LEAVING A GAS STATION TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION IT SHUT OFF. ALL ACCELERATION STOPPED AND THE JEEP WENT INTO PARK AND LEFT US STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. ONCE WE USED THE MANUAL PARK RELEASE AND GOT OUT OF THE INTERSECTION WE LET IT SIT FOR A LITTLE BIT. MY WIFE GOT IN THE DRIVER SEAT AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. WE THEN DROVE IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED AS THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. I SPOKE WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THAT IS 'NOT A PART LISTED' IN THEIR PARTS CATALOG. THIS VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND MY PREGNANT WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN T-BONED IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.

I HAVE REPORTED A PROBLEM ON JANUARY 7, 2019 ABOUT THE VEHICLE LCD DISPLAY FAILED TO LIGHT UP WHEN I STARTING MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN SOME OCCASION. AND LATER HAVE IDENTIFIED SOME MORE PROBLEMS. THE GPS NO LONGER WORKS, IT IS TURNING AROUND AT AN IRRELEVANT POSITION WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD, AND THE DISPLAY FREQUENTLY PUPS UP A WARNING OF 'VEHICLE PHONE REQUIRES SERVICE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALER.' AS THE ATTACHED PHOTO. WITH AN APPOINTMENT, I BRING BACK MY CAR TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING (1/28/2019), IT DOESN'T BEEN FIXED AT THE END OF THE DAY, NOR DOES IT BEEN ABLE TO RETURN TO THE STATE BEFORE CALLBACK SERVICE, NOT EVENT BEEN ABLE TO ROLLBACK TO THE STATE AS I HAND OVER IT IN THE MORNING. THE UCONNECT SYSTEM NO LONGER EXIST ON MY VEHICLE , AND COULD NOT REINSTALLED WITHOUT RADIO SYSTEM HARDWARE BEING REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE, FOR WHICH I NEED TO PAY $890.37 AS I BEEN INFORMED OFFICIALLY DURING THE SERVICE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED, AS MY CAR WAS VERY LIGHTLY USED (ONLY 33KMILES) AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THE RECALL SERVICE, AND GOT THREE UCONNECT ISSUES JUST AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE, AND THEN IN THE ATTEMPT TO FIXING THESE TREE ISSUES IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALER, THE CONTROL DEVICE WAS PHYSICALLY DESTROYED EVEN THE UCONNECT SYSTEM NO LONGER BEEN ABLE TO REINSTALLED . I AM NOT THE PERSON THAT IRRATIONALLY DENYING THE WEAR AND TEAR OF VEHICLE HARDWARE, BUT WHAT THE HELL OF THE PURPOSE OF THE RECALL SERVICE? AND WHY SHOULD I RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE RECALL SERVICE THAT NEVER EXIST BEFORE?

Jan 29, 2019

I HAVE PUT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR A RECALL SERVICE (MFGR CAMPAIGN#: CDJR S27, CDJR U65) RECENTLY, IN WHICH I BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE PERSON THAT ONLY SOFTWARE WARE BEEN UPDATED FOR THIS RECALL SERVICE. SINCE THEN, THE LCD DISPLAY SCREEN WILL NOT START TO LIGHT UP IN SOME OCCASION WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR, THE SCREEN DOES NOT RESPONSE FOR ANY TOUCH AT THIS MOVEMENT, AND IT EVENTUALLY LIGHT UP AFTER 3-5MINUTES AND TURNS UP THE DISPLAY TO THE NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY OTHER DAYS, AND MAKES ME VERY HESITATE TO BACKUP MY CAR WHENEVER IT HAPPENS, AS I GET USED OF THE BACKUP CAMERA ON THE CAR. THE PROBLEM NEVER EXIST BEFORE THE RECENT RECALL SERVICE. IN THE NORMAL WAY, THE SCREEN SHOWS THE BOOTING UP DISPLAY WHENEVER I STARTS UP MY CAR, BUT NOW, FOR SOME OCCASION, THE SCREEN KEEPS IN DEAD FOR 3-5 MINUTES AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN START UP.

THIS 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE EGR SYSTEM (RECALL W79). ON DECEMBER 29, 2020, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER (TURNERSVILLE JEEP) FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 12 2021. THIS DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE UNTIL FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. THIS DEALER DECLINED TO REPAIR THE EGR SYSTEM UNDER THE W79 RECALL, BUT DID REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND THE FUEL TUBES AFTER FINDING THE FUEL INJECTORS RESTRICTED. THIS DEALER THEN CLEARED THE DTC P026C-00 AND PERFORMED A STATIONARY REGENERATION. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AT 5:15 PM ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 2021 AND PROCEEDED TO ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 75 MILES OF DRIVING, I SUFFERED A EXTEME AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM; THE DASH INDICATORS INCLUDED THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP, AN ERROR REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND AN ERROR THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. AS I COASTED TO A STOP, SMOKE BEGAN TO RAPIDLY POUR FROM THE HOOD COVER AND BEGAN TO ENTER THE CABIN THROUGH THE HVAC VENTS. I VACATED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND UNDER SOME DURESS. THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO BILLOW FROM THE ENGINE AREA OF THE VEHICLE AND I COULD SEE IT CONTINUE TO ENTER THE CABIN. AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM ON JANUARY 15, THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED BY FLATBED TO PELLEGRINO JEEP. I SPOKE WITH THE PELLEGRINO JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 2021, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I OPENED CASE #78239258 WITH FCA (JEEP) US LLC CUSTOMER SERVICE. AS OF JANUARY 20 AT 11:30 AM, I DO NOT HAVE FEEDBACK ON THIS CASE. THE DEALER HAS ALSO PROVIDED NO COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SUFFERED A FAILURE DUE TO THE INABILITY OF FCA AND IT'S DEALERS TO REMEDIATE RECALL W79.

I purchased a used 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L V8 Hemi on 03/03/2023 at approximately 7:30pm from Rairdon Honda in Burien Washington. The car started displaying on the dashboard that the seat belts for the passengers weren’t on even though the seatbelts were indeed on, and then the sensors for the airbags started going off stating that there was a problem with the airbag sensor. The car was then taken back to Rairdon Honda in Burien and they simply stated that they recently Replaced the car battery and that was the reason as to why the sensors weren’t working. After speaking to one of the technicians they stated since the seatbelt sensors showed that the seatbelt wasn’t on that incase of an accident the airbags wouldn’t deploy. This was not disclosed at the time of sale, I was reassured that everything would be fine when I took the car home the first time. I can’t risk having a car that has such severe safety issues and put my son and partner in this car knowing that the airbags could possibly fail to deploy.

Mar 04, 2023

I lost control of my 2015 jeep grand cherokee Laredo and crashed head on into a utility pole. The airbags did not deploy and my seat belt did not lock up on. I was traveling about 40mph at the time. The lack of restraint from the seat belt and no airbag sent me smashing into the steering wheel. No warning lights telling me something was wrong with airbag.

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE 11/8/2014. SINCE THEN HERE IS AN ONGOING, HIGH PITCHED NOISE UPON ACCELERATION FROM ZERO TO ANY CRUISING SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERS FOR THIS COMPLAINT AND OTHERS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SAY IT IS DUE TO THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ONE DEALER TRIED TO BLAME IT ON MY PLASTIC SUNGLASSES IN THE OVERHEAD STORAGE COMPARTMENT. ONE DEALER REPORTED TO ME THAT THE SAME NOISE WAS HEARD ON 2 BRAND NEW VEHICLES JUST DELIVERED TO THEM. I ALSO HAVE ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES - STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS REVERSE SIDES LEFT TO RIGHT, RIGHT TO LEFT FOR AUDIO CONTROLS, THE RADIO RANDOMLY STARTS SWITCHING CHANNELS, AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SENSORS TURNS ON TO ENABLE MODE, BUT IN THIS MODE THE HIGH BEAMS DO NOT DIM. THIS FUNCTION WORKED INITIALLY, THEN IT DIDN'T AND ONE DEALER SAID IT LOST IT'S PROGRAM SO THEY RESET IT. ANOTHER DEALER SAID THE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. I WILL HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN AT MY NEXT SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE PHONE CALL/PHONE CALL CANCEL BUTTONS ALSO REVERSE FUNCTION. THE FUEL TAKE DOOR RANDOMLY POPS OPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AT MY WORK OR HOME. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE. IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY LURCH FORWARD WHILE STOPPED, BRAKES ENGAGED AND VEHICLE IS RUNNING - AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

A WEEK PRIOR TO THE MAJOR ISSUE THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THESE PROBLEMS INCLUDED THE WIPERS TURNING ON WHEN THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION, SIMULTANEOUSLY THE RADIO CUT OUT (THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THAT DAY). THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AT 6:30AM THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND DOORS BLINKED ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT RIGHT AWAY. FOUR DAYS AFTER THIS ALL STARTED I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, I WENT TO GIVE THE CAR GAS TO COMPLETE MY TURN AND REALIZED THAT THE CAR HAD LOST POWER. I COASTED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND LOOKED DOWN AT THE EVIC SCREEN TO REALIZE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL WITHOUT MY DOING AND WOULD NOT RESTART ITSELF. MANY MECHANICAL LIGHTS WERE POPPING UP ON THE EVIC SCREEN, WHICH I TOOK PICTURES OF FOR RECORDS. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY.HOWEVER I AM SCARED THAT IF THEY "FIX" IT , IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. ON MONDAY 3/16/15: THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE WIPER/RADIO ISSUE WAS FIXED WITH AN "UPDATE" BUT THE MASTER TECH THAT WORKS FOR THE DEALERSHIP REQUESTED TO DRIVE MY CAR HOME WITH HIM TO MAKE SURE THE PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A TECH TAKING HOME A CAR BEFORE BUT I AGREED TO LET HIM SINCE I FEEL I AM AT THE HANDS OF JEEPS MERCY IN FIXING THIS ISSUE. I AM VERY DISPLEASED THAT A JGC DEPENDING ON THE MODEL WORTH $40-70K HAS MANY COMPLAINTS LOADED AGAINST THEM WITH LITTLE END IN SIGHT OF THE COMPANY WANTING TO RESOLVE THESE COMPLAINTS. I REFUSE TO PUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS SAFETY IN JEOPARDY! THIS COMPANY KNOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THEIR CARS AND THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BUT KEEP SAYING ITS A "SOFTWARE UPDATE".

2 complaints

My car has been having symptoms of a recall associated with other 2015 Jeep grand Cherokee - around electronic braking system , something with the brake booster. The brake light comes on. It has been for years. Mechanic couldn’t figure it out and finally mentioned it is likely from a recall. But the recall is not vin specific so I can’t get it fixed fully covered by my dealer. Can you please review and assign the recall to my vin? Thank you

Driving on highway 290 West near Waller. At 75mph I attempted to pass slower traffic by accelerating after moving into the farthest left (passing) lane when my Jeep lost power. Had to maneuver while coasting between traffic in lanes (frogger anyone?) to farthest right lane by coasting through to an exit by chance. Would not restart while coasting. Traffic line formed behind me for those also seeking same exit I needed at the last second. I was unable to fully move into shoulder because of debris seen and fear of damage to tires. After coasting to a full stop a quarter mile from Love's Truckstop, put vehicle in park, and was able to restart after hesitation. Engine light on with my reader stating "confirmed" codes P0336, U1401; and a "pending" code of P05ED. Now takes 3-5 seconds to start when used to be "instantly." In a nutshell, this was not fun. :| Note to manufacturer , please stop skimping out on quality.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 3.6 pentastar. Bought the vehicle 10-2020 and had issue with running hot due to faulty electric radiator cooling fan and thermostat and housing failure. Repaired the thermostat and hosing at local Jeep dealership. 2 weeks later, radiator cooling fan froze and ceased operation, replaced by independent repair shop. Within a couple the oil cooler and filter housing adapter developed a crack causing a catastrophic oil leak.

I had a warning code of service electronic throttle. It then started to regenerate and we took it to Lithia Jeep to fix EGR recall. They needed to replace engine intake because it caught fire. Several months later the car broke down while driving, sputtering, knocking, squealing. Upon inspection, metal flakes found in oil. Suspected HPFP sucked into engine causing havoc. The HPFP is an open recall but no available replacement parts. I'm currently out of a vehicle. I've contacted Jeep but haven't heard a reply

SINCE THE LAST RECALL FOR THE JEEP ECO DEISEL THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN RUNNING THE DEISEL EXHAUST REGENERATION AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK (8 TIMES IN 7 WEEKS SINCE THE RECALL UPDATE WAS PERFORMED). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THEY PERFORMED A MANUAL REGENERATION AND THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, IT STARTED IT AGAIN A WEEK LATER. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR AT LEAST 10-15 MINUTES TO GET IT TO SHUT OFF (EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY REGENERATE THE FILTER) AND MY ENGINE IS OVERWORKING AND LAGGING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM THAT SINCE THE RECALL EVERYONE WITH THE JEEP ECO DIESELS IS COMPLAINING OF.

There are two issues. One is that the air bag light is on and never goes away and could mean faulty air bags, two the car is making a clicking noise and jerking when accelerating and the 4 wheel drive service light has come on. It could be the transfer case or differential. The car only has 60,000 miles and isn't driven everyday. It should not be having these safety issues.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee drivers side heated seat burned a nickel size hole through the seat, burned a hole through my girlfriends sweatshirt and burned her skin. Thank god she was able to maintain her composure and pull over to a parking lot and get out. What if she had jerked the wheel (as it startled her) and caused a crash? What if she was on the highway?? What if the vehicle started on fire?? The vehicle is currently at the dealership and being inspected. There were no warning lamps or other symptoms.

TIRES

2 complaints

I have 34,000 miles on my keep I am the original owner and my tires have been rotated every 5,000 miles. The tread is cracking on every tire. Tire size is 265/59/20 Fortera hl. I called Goodyear and they will do nothing they say rotting is only warranted for 4 years. How can that be? It’s a 60,000 mile tire. I brought it to Goodyear in Jericho N.Y and was told by Sean there is nothing he could do. I was also in touch with Pamela Pringle from customer support and she never got back to me. It is unsafe to drive on those tires and Goodyear should replace them.

I BOUGHT A GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRES ON IT. AT 24,900 MILES I NOTICED A BULGE IN ONE TIRE UPON INSPECTION OF THE OTHER TIRES I HAD ANOTHER TIRE WITH A BULGE IN IT. THE VIN OF THE VEHICLE IS [XXX] THE DOT OF THE TIRES ARE AP5E 00BX 3814. I CARRIED IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY SENT ME TO A MICHELIN DEALER. THE PERSON AT THE MICHELIN JUST LOOKED AT THE TIRE AND SAID IT WAS A IMPACT BULGE AND THAT MICHELIN WOULD NOT COVER THAT ON WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MICHELIN DEALER AND HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE TIRE OFF THE RIM TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MICHELIN AND THEY WERE WILLING TO HELP OUT ON THE TIRES WHETHER IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT. THAT TELLS ME THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES AND THEY WANT TO KEEP IT QUITE BY TRYING TO SATISFY THE CUSTOMER SO THEY DON'T REPORT THEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THESE TIRES. I WILL NOT PUT MY LIFE OR MY WIFE'S LIFE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THESE TIRES. THESE TIRES WILL BLOW IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. I WORKED IN A TIRE FACTORY FOR 25 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN IMPACT BULGE. I HAVE CUT UP AND ANALYZED THOUSANDS OF TIRES AND NO IMPACT CAUSED THESE BULGES.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WITH BRAKE MITIGATION CONTINUES TO ENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY ON ITS OWN. THIS IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING WITH BRAKE MITIGATION ENGAGES INTERMITTENTLY, OUT OF THE BLUE, WHEN THERE IS NO NEED. MEANING; I'LL BE DRIVING ALONG . . . NO CARS OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF ME, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SYSTEM SLAMS ON THE BRAKES, JERKS VERY ABRUPTLY, AUDIBLE BELLS GO OFF AND THE SCREEN ILLUMINATES BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE! THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INSTANCES IN WHICH MY FAMILY AND I HAVE NEARLY BEEN REAR-ENDED DUE TO THIS ERRATIC BEHAVIOR THAT THE VEHICLE IS DEMONSTRATING. I'VE BEEN IN A COMPARABLY EQUIPPED LOANER CAR FOR THE PAST FIVE WEEKS AND IT HAS NOT DEMONSTRATED THIS TYPE OF INCONSISTENT, ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BE IN OR AROUND. THE JEEP WAS PURCHASED ON JULY 9, 2016. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES SINCE JULY 21, 2016. AFTER EXAMINATION OF DAMAGE, ELECTRIC TECH REVIEW AND 2 TEST DRIVES (32 MILES AND 100 MILES) THE RESPONSE I GET IS, "THE SYSTEM IS WORKING AS DESIGNED." THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SERVICE 51 OF THE 103 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP, 49.5%. THE SELLING/SERVICING DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN EXTREMELY NEGLIGENT IN PROVIDING TRANSPARENCY TO ANY SIMILAR ISSUES TO MINE. QUITE FRANKLY, THEY HAVEN'T COMMUNICATED MUCH OF ANYTHING TO ME. THE LAST TIME THE SERVICE ADVISOR REACHED OUT TO ME, VIA TEXT, WAS ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2016. MY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN AWFUL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN AN FCA VEHICLE, NOR DO I RESPECT ANY OF THEIR CORPORATE OR DEALER NETWORK ASSOCIATES. THIS IS THE WORST CONSUMER EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. UNBELIEVABLE THAT MY SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN TO FCA OR THE SELLING/SERVICING DEALER. IF IT WERE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED A FULL REFUNDED AND FREE TO GO ELSEWHERE MAKE A PURCHASE WITH A MANUFACTURER THAT I TRUST AND APPRECIATES ME, THE CUSTOMER. *TR

THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON OR ABOUT THURSDAY, APRIL 10TH 2019 AT 12:10AM. IT INVOLVES THE BRAKES OF THE VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE ENTIRE INCIDENT WAS CAPTURED ON A HIGH-QUALITY FRONT-FACING DASHBOARD CAMERA WITH AUDIO, VIDEO, AND GPS. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. DESCRIPTION OF THE INCIDENT IS AS FOLLOWS: WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE 10 WEST FREEWAY IN REDLANDS, CA, I MANEUVERED TO THE MOST RIGHT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY IN PREPARATION TO APPROACH AN EXIT LESS THAN 1 MILE AWAY (UNIVERSITY AVE.) DUE TO LANE CLOSURES (LEFT LANES) AT THE TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER-TO-BUMPER AND VERY LOW SPEED. WHILE IN THE MOST RIGHT LANE AND STILL AT VERY LOW SPEED, I ENGAGED THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE. WITHIN AROUND 5 SECONDS OF ENGAGING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP BECAUSE OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MINE HAD STOPPED. AT THAT POINT, THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE SELF-DISENGAGED AS NORMAL. ONLY A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE VEHICLE POSSIBLY ABNORMALLY VIBRATED. AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO CREEP FORWARD IN TRAFFIC AS NORMAL, I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN. AS I NEARLY APPROACHED COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME, I ENGAGED THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH MY FOOT, AND THAT DID NOT SEEM TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE EITHER. A SECOND ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE DID NOTHING AS WELL. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR ALMOST SLOWED TO A STOP DUE TO ROLLING FRICTION AND A SLIGHT UPHILL GRADE IN THAT PORTION OF THE FREEWAY. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AT THIS TIME AND RESTARTED THE CAR. AFTER RESTARTING, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AND BRAKE PROPERLY THE REST OF MY SHORT JOURNEY HOME. THIS ENTIRE EPISODE IS CAPTURED ON MY DASHBOARD CAMERA, AND IT SEEMS OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL.

UNLESS THE VEHICLE STARTED IT WOULD DO NOTHING AND COULD NOT BE TOWED. JEEP NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS VERY UNSAFE SYSTEM. THEY SHOULD BE MADE PUT IN AN OVERRIDE SWITCH OR BE ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE WITH A KEY. I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND I WAS GOING TO START ON A 500 MILE TRIP THAT DAY. VERY GOOD THING IT HAPPEN WHEN IT DID. THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD ALONG THE ROAD WITH NO HELP. ALL PUSH BUTTON STARTS NEED A BACKUP TO GET OUT OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD.

IT UNREAL HOW MUCH WATER POURS OUT OF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE!! THIS IS A BAD SERIOUSLY GRAVE SITUATION! I CALLED FLETCHER DODGE JEEP IN SHERWOOD ARKANSAS WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO DRIVE IT 2.5 HOURS TO THEM SO THEY CAN SEE IF A SHIFT RELEARN WOULD WORK OR IF THIS CAR WILL BE A LEMON TOO!!

POWER TRAIN,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

1 complaint

On the highway my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel briefly stalled and the check engine light came on. I then lost all power and could only maintain a speed of 45MPH in a 70MPH speed limit highway. I turned on my flashers and could not get off the road due to construction and Jersey barriers for several miles. When I had the opportunity I pulled off the side of the road and called to have my vehicle towed to a service facility. I was informed by the mechanic that scanned my car for trouble codes, a P0336-00 was set in my PCM. The mechanic informed me that I would have to take the vehicle to a Jeep Chrysler dealer. This is apparently a known issue with 2014 to 2018 Jeep Grad Cherokees equipped with the 3.0L diesel engine including RAM 1500s of the same vintage with the same diesel engine installed. The specific problem is that the crank shaft tone wheel is not read by the crankshaft position sensor because of degradation to the tone wheel which is connected to the crankshaft. I have complied with all safety and emission recalls. Related: RC-RW68-20 Safety Recall W68 Transport Canada 2020-371 Loss of Crankshaft Position. Requires the replacement of the Tone wheel. Issued 02/11/2021. RC-RW58-20 Safety Recall W68 Transport Canada 2020-371 Loss of Crankshaft Position. Requires PCM Software update for Loss of Crankshaft Position. In lieu of the Tone Wheel failing, the computer uses the Camshaft Position sensor. This is only designed to not disable the car completely but allow the driver to pull of the road. P0335-00 or P0336-00 wil be set and a check engine light will illuminate. My vehicle was not included in the NTHSA Safety Recall and it should have been.

Below are the series of events. The reason for this report is related to item number 6. I have attached pictures. I contacted the manufacturer about this and they said that it was made like this from the plastic moulding, but I inspected the seat prior to install and these marks were not there. 1. I bought the seat on November 30, 2024 2. I installed it in my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee on December 17, 2024 3. I could not get the leveling ball in the correct location for a rear facing install with a 25lb baby. I had a zoom call with Evenflo and she was unsure as well and said to send pictures and she would pass along. I did so on this same day and did not hear back. 4. The seat remained installed in my car, but unused by my child as I had not heard if it was safe. 5. On December 26, 2024 I decided to try an install of the seat forward facing to see if it would work for my older kid. I could not get the shell on the base in forward facing position and after not hearing back overall felt like the correct decision is to return it. 6. I got the shell off and noticed stress marks on the plastic where the belt path is. This seems incredibly dangerous, and it had never even had a kid in it. These marks were not there when I purchased the seat. 7. I initiated the return.The point mentioned in (6) seems of high concern for the safety of this seat.

22V-406 Recall issued June 9 2022. We’ve tried to have fixed but parts unavailable. At what point is this untimely? It has been over a year which seems untimely to me. The safety issue indicates high pressure fuel pump ("HPFP") that could fail prematurely. A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.

Valve lifter failure at 93,000 miles. $2,700 repair. Is apparently a very common problem with the 3.6l Pentastar engine. Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision warning system front sensor failed at 56,000 miles, failed again at 76,000 miles and failed a third time at 95,000 miles. First two failures were replaced under warranty, third failure happened 1 week after warranty expiration from second replacement. Cost is too expensive to repair ($3,000 for new sensor) and requires that safety feature be turned off as sensor will perceive increases in road elevation (hills) as another vehicle and apply the brakes

While driving vehicle shuts off unexpectedly, with steering wheel losing power steering. It will then have trouble starting again. Turning on and off by itself. It will then work just fine after 15-20 minutes.. It has been doing this every few months for a couple years now. I have taken to dealer a couple times, and they have had me change battery initially. But can’t give me a reason why it keep happening after that. Most recently, once I was able to work again after it had shit off on me while driving, it would then not shut off. I could not turn the car off. I took to dealer, and eventually it turned off. It is at dealer currently at time of this writing.

My jeep has started experiencing rough driving and the gears slipping. I took it for service and they told me all the issues wrong were under a recall. (NHTSA 23-E-019) equipment safety recall 21A. He indicated: uplift timing, torque converter engagement, shift points, calibration issues, downshifts and other things. I called my local dealer and gave them my vin but they stated my vehicle has not been recalled and they won't fix it. The big concern is the slipping gears. It lungs forward at times and I am scared it is going to cause an accident. It is very rough to drive. The service 4 wheel drive system light came on. It started 4/27/23. It is very bad when turning the vehicle and driving slow.

At a speed of 30mph, was slowing down coming up to a red light, as the brakes were being pressed the motor began to rev up and try to accelerate despite me fully pressing the brakes. I had to put the vehicle in neutral and shut it down. I merely missed hitting another vehicle. I called the dealer who had no information for me. No warning lights were on or prior to the reving and acceleration of the vehicle as I was trying to come to a stop at a red light. I am reading numerous forums of Jeep owners reporting the same issue. This really should be investigated before someone is seriously injured or killed, which maybe there have been reports of such already. In my case, there was no injury or damage because I was lucky enough to have no vehicle beside me and had a place to vere off to to pull over quickly. If that hadn’t been the case, an accident would have occurred. I can’t say if this vehicle has malfunctioned like this previously because I purchased 2 days ago.

The license plate LED lights went out. Pulled over by trooper to get them replaced, as they are a safety concern for troopers to identify the license plate number. After a few trips to a couple auto parts store, I learned that none of them carry lights. One of the parts stores representative said I would need to get in touch with Jeep. Jeep confirmed, that they need to replace the wiring harness and lights for this model year which is 2015. I looked online and it seems to affect model years 2014-2019. Jeep wants to charge nearly 200.00 to fix the issue. If the lights are required for safety concerns and help with backup camera to make it more visible in the dark, then this should be a concern to owners of Jeep Grand Cherokee model. There are no warning lights to let you know the lights are out until you get pulled over and ticketed by the police or you go to get the vehicle inspected and told you need a costly repair. If Jeep knows about this defect, they should be doing a recall for the issue.

SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

1 complaint

The part that failed is identified as the Oil Cooler, I will request the dealer provide the defective unit. The part number for the Oil Cooler 68211323AB. There are two areas that would pose a safety concern when the Oil Cooler fails. When the Oil Cooler fails, oil is let into the cooling system. The oil level continues to fall to a point where it is very likely the engine will seize. There is no check engine indicator, the oil temperature indicator shows no rise in temperature. You would not know that there is any problem, If that happens while the vehicle is in motion it could prove to put occupants in jeopardy of injury. The second area of concern, as the oil bleeds into the cooling system it is unable to adjust for the additional fluid. The cooling system reservoir fills up and begins to overflow each time the vehicle is started and driven. The reservoir overflow is in the front right side of the engine compartment. When car is parked the oil flows on to everything that is below it. But when the car is in motion the oil covers the right side of the engine compartment. The result of the overflow could lead to a fire in the engine compartment, Oil on the rotor and brake could result in the malfunction of the brake mechanism. With oil in the cooling system the smell of diesel is very strong in the passage compartment. This may, lead to headaches, nausea, and eye irritation. The dealer did confirm the problem and provided a quote of $8600 to repair. The car has been inspected by and independent mechanic and the dealer’s mechanic. As noted earlier there was no warning that a problem was occurring. The first sign of a problem was on the 17th of September. A large oil spill in my garage.

IT'S BEEN SINCE MAY 2018 WITH IN/OUT VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CONSTANT PROBLEM. MY STEERING WHEEL WOBBLES OVER 70MPH ON MY 2015 GRAND CHEROKEE WK2 HIGH ALTITUDE, ALL STANDARD FEATURES. THIS STARTED AFTER 26K MILES AND NOW I HAVE 39K MILES. I'VE RESEARCHED DOZENS OF FORUMS AND READ THROUGH TSBS WITH NO SOLUTION. I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE TIRES, TWICE, WITH MICHELIN PREMIER LTX 20INCH TIRES, SEVERAL ROAD FORCE TESTS, HIGH SPEED BALANCES, SEVERAL ALIGNMENTS, RACK AND PINION REPLACED, FRONT WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLIES REPLACED, ALL NEW SHOCKS AND AFTER ALLLLLLLLLLL OF THAT, SHE STILL WOBBLES!!!!!!! THE DEALER HAS THROWN THEIR HANDS UP AND WILL NOT HELP ME ANY FURTHER. THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY WOBBLES BETWEEN 70-80MPH. ANOTHER CUSTOMER'S WHEELS WERE PLACED ON MY CAR AND TESTED WITH SAME ISSUE. PRIVATELY OWNED ALIGNMENT CENTERS ALSO CONFIRMED A SPOT ON ALIGNMENT AND WHEEL BALANCE. ALL BUSHINGS APPEAR TO BE INTACT. THE JEEP IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY.

I OWN A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO LIMITED, PURCHASED FROM A DEALER NEW. LAST WEEK I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, TURNED THE JEEP OFF AND WENT TO GET OUT AND MY ALARM SYSTEM WENT OFF. COULD NOT TURN IT OFF WITH EITHER FOB, I WAS EVEN ABLE TO START IT UP AND DRIVE. REMOTE START WOULD NOT WORK FOR 3 DAYS. CRUISE CONTROL JUST TURNS OFF WHEN IT WANTS WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE OVER 60 MPH. GPS STATES I'M OFF ROUTE AND FREEZES IN THE LOCATION WHERE IT HAPPENED ON INTERSTATE, NORMAL WEATHER(NO OVERCAST/FOG). WIPERS JUST START WORKING WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY IDLING, AS YOU'RE DRIVING...NO DUST, RAIN, BUGS ETC...WINDSHIELD LEAKS AND RAIN COMES IN FROM BEHIND THE REARVIEW MIRROR/SUNGLASS HOLDER WHEN IT RAINS AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SHARP TURN(NOT WITH NORMAL TURNS)...LEAKS DOWN ON CELL PHONE WHICH SITS IN LITTLE CUBBY TO CHARGE. THE VEHICLE SURGES WHEN GOING UNDER 20 MPH, USUALLY WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO START FROM A STOP IS WHEN IT' WORSE. UNDER 25K MILES AND I AM AFRAID AS TO WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN NEXT.

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE NECESSARY PARTS REQUIRED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT MADE AVAILABLE TO ANY DEALERSHIP YET. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO FOR THE SECOND RECALL NOTICE TO ARRIVE BY MAIL TO CALL AND MAKE THE APPOINTMENT. I ASKED IF, IN THE MEANTIME, I WAS TO HOPE AND PRAY THAT AN ACCIDENT IS NOT CAUSED BY THIS RECALL ITEM IN THE INTERIM, AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLIED , "YES." I THEN CALL THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT FCA AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. UNACCEPTABLE PRACTICES GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE RECALL NOTICE CLEARLY STATES THAT, " ...THE SYSTEM DEFAULTS THE TRANSAXLE TO NEUTRAL AND THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. ....THE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING."

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 GRAND CHEROKEE LATE LAST YEAR, AND I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER SINCE DAY ONE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY COMING HOME FROM WORK AND THE GEAR SLIPPED OUT OF PLACE. I'VE BEEN DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT BUT OF COURSE THEY DON'T CARE. IT REALLY HURTS MY FEELINGS THAT WE PAID THIS MUCH MONEY ON A CARE I FEEL ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE IN. THE SHIFTER DOESN'T STAY INTO PARK, AND I WORK FROM MY VEHICLE AS A DELIVERY DRIVER. SO A LOT OF THE TIMES I HAVE TO BE QUICK AND SWIFT, AND IT'S BEEN TO MANY TIMES WHEN MY SHIFTER SLIPS OUT OF PLACE. MY SHIFTER DOESN'T LOCK AT ALL, WHEN I TRY AND PUT IT INTO GEAR. I'LL BE GETTING READY TO DRIVE OUT A GAS STATION AND MY SUV SHIFTER WON'T EVEN STAY IN DRIVE, IT'LL BE NEUTRAL . I'LL HAVE TO CLICK A FEW TIMES FOR IT TO TRY AND STAY IN PLACE.

MY JEEP IS ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN IN PARK, WHEELS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN JULY 2015. ON JAN 4TH 2016 IT ROLLED ABOUT 10 - 15 FEET DOWN A DRIVEWAY AND CAME TO A REST IN THE GUTTER. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON JAN 7, 2015. THE JEEP WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE IN DRIVEWAYS WITH ABOUT 1/4 INCH ON SNOW/SLUSH. THE TIRES ARE STILL LOCKED IN THE RIGHT POSITION BOTH TIMES WHEN IT CAME TO A STOP IN THE GUTTERS. AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT I FOUND A LITTLE DRIVEWAY AND PARKED ON IT. I AGAIN TURNED THE TIRES ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND I SAT AND WAITED. 7 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED TO SLIDE DOWN THE DRIVEWAY IT SLED ABOUT FOR ABOUT 5 - 8 FEET BEFORE I APPLIED THE BRAKE. THIS INCLINED DRIVEWAYS HAVE BEEN ABOUT 05 -10 FEET INCLINES. I HAVE HAD A 1996 AND 2006 JEEP OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE SLIDE FROM A PARKED POSITION OR DOWN A SNOW PACKED HILL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO GET NEW SNOW TIRES. THIS IS VERY SCARY TO ME. IF CHILDREN ARE WALKING TO SCHOOL OR JOGGERS OR A PASSING CAR SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. THIS SERIOUS MATTER NEEDS TO BE HANDLED PROMPTLY.

ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO THE NHTSA HAD ISSUED AN ADVISORY BULLETIN SUGGESTING THAT AUTOMAKERS REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ONBOARD INFO SYSTEMS DUE TO DISTRACTED DRIVERS, IN THE MEANTIME MORE COMPLEX SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED BY SAID AND WITH THE MOST RECENT HACKING OF THE ONBOARD ECM'S AS WELL AS DRIVING CONTROLS, I QUESTION WILL YOU POSSIBLY FOLLOW THROUGH WITH A MANDATE TO CEASE THESE SYSTEMS FROM BEING INSTALLED SEEING THAT HACKERS THROUGH THE BLUETOOTH SYSTEMS ALSO ONBOARD BE ELIMINATED TO STOP POSSIBLE HORRIFIC ACCIDENTS FROM HAPPENING. I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY ARE NOW ISSUING NEW SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING, HOWEVER HACKERS HAVE " BACKDOOR METHODS " TO STILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS A CARS SYSTEM AND WITH ALL THE CYBER CRIME TAKING PLACE TODAY , THE ELIMINATION OF THESE SYSTEMS WOULD BE A SURE FIRE WAY TO STOP IT. A GOING BACK TO A MORE SIMPLER TIME WHEN THESE ISSUES DIDN'T EXIST SAY PRE 2003 STANDARDS. AS A CONCERNED CONSUMER I AM VERY WORRIED THAT SOME VERY BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND PUT MY FAMILY ( AS WELL AS OTHERS ) AT GREAT RISK. I WOULD IMPLORE YOU TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER STOPPING THESE SYSTEMS FROM BEING INSTALLED IN ANY NEWER CARS THAT ARE PLANNED FOR RELEASE, YOU TIMELY DECISION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED , THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME *TR

STARTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT PARKSENSE AND FORWARD COLLISION WARNING WERE NOT WORKING AND EVERY FEW MINUTES, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WOULD BEEP AND OFTEN DISPLAY AN ERROR MESSAGE. THE MESSAGES IT DISPLAYED WERE, "SERVICE SHIFTER" (DISPLAYED MOST OFTEN), "PARK SENSE OFF" (IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON AND OFF) AND "ACC/FCW NOT WORKING SERVICE REQUIRED" (DISPLAYED A FEW TIMES). ALSO, THE SCREEN (INSTRUMENT PANEL) WOULD FLICKER A FEW TIMES AND BEEP.THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SENSOR DID NOT WORK, REGULAR CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK AND PARKING SENSORS DID NOT WORK. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT APPEARS THAT THE ACC BALL (RADAR/CAMERA/THE THING THAT LOOKS LIKE THE EYE BALL ON THE FRONT BUMPER) HAD CORROSION AND ALL WIRES WERE SHOT. THEY ORDERED A NEW PIECE WITH HARNESS AND WILL REPLACE IT. HOWEVER, IT IS MY CONCERN THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE WATER CAN EASILY GET INTO THE HARNESS (RAIN/SNOW/CAR WASH). IT SHOULD BE STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT WHAT IS THE SOLUTION AFTER THE WARRANTY IS OVER? IT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVERY 16,000 MILES (APPROX.)
