2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, THE GEAR SHIFT CONTROL MECHANISM WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHEN INADVERTENTLY BUMPED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHILE I WAS REACHING ACROSS TO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, PASSENGER SEAT, RADIO, OR PHONE CHARGER CONSOLE AREA. ALL OF THESE AREAS ARE NEAR, OR IN LINE WITH, THE GEAR SHIFT CONTROL WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR BELOW THE ARM REST ON THE DRIVER'S RIGHT HAND SIDE. TWICE THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS REACHING FOR CHANGE FOR A TOLL. PER THE DESIGN (ACCORDING TO MY DEALER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE), THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON DOESN'T REQUIRE IT TO BE PUSHED IN WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. SO, WHEN/IF I LIGHTLY BUMP IT (AS I HAVE WITHOUT REALIZING IT), IT WILL SIMPLY & QUIETLY SHIFT FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER SHOULD REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO PRESS IT FOR ANY SHIFT CHANGES. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ALL THE JEEP GEAR SHIFTS WERE DESIGNED THIS WAY. I ASKED HIM IF I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP CHRYSLER AND HE TOLD ME IF I WANTED TO I COULD BUT ... THEN HE JUST SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS. SO, RATHER THAN TAKING THE CHANCE OF BEING IGNORED I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED.

VEHICLE WAS BEING PARKED IN MY GARAGE MOVING SLOWLY FORWARD WITH NO APPLICATION OF THROTTLE AND BEGAN TO SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. STANDING ON THE BRAKE WOULD NOT FULLY HOLD IT AND IT WENT INTO REAR WALL .

JEEP WENT IN FOR SERVICE TO CORRECT THE RECALLED TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC SHIFT LEVER ON SATURDAY, AUG. 6TH AT 12:30PM. PICKED UP CAR FROM FARRISH JEEP AT 5PM SAME DAY. AT 8PM ON THE SAME DAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OUT OF PARK, THOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN DRIVE WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED PARK, WHILE SHIFTER WAS IN DRIVE. EXACT THING HAPPENED WITH 2010 JEEP WRANGLER IN MAY, 2015 AND FARRISH CLAIMED TO FIX IT 3 TIMES IN 36 HOURS. IT HAD TO BE TOWED 3 TIMES BY THE DEALER, BECAUSE THE CAR ROLLED AWAY FROM MY TEENAGE DRIVER THE SAME DAY WE GOT IT BACK FROM FARRISH(IN A NEIGHBORHOOD) AFTER THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 36 HOURS.

2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BACK UP CAMERA REPAIRS, RADIO/CD PLAYER, BLUETOOTH MALFUNCTIONS, HEATED SEATS INOPERABLE AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 12 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO OFF ROAD MODE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED FLASHING WHILE STOPPED BEHIND ANOTHER DRIVING FOR NO REASON. THE DEALER WORKED ON ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS BEHIND THE MEDIA CENTER, AND REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS. THE PROBLEMS CONTINUED TO MULTIPLY AND THE VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN THE SAME, SINCE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHENEVER THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF OR IF THE DOORS WERE OPEN IN ANY GEAR SELECTION EXCEPT FOR PARK, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD SHIFT INDEPENDENTLY INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V240000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,500.

AFTER TWO MONTHS FROM PURCHASE THE VENTILATED SEATS STOP WORKING. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE JEEP DEALER A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES NOW FOR REPAIR AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED PROBLEM. DEALER ADMITS THEY CANNOT FIX AND SAID THEY OPENED A "STAR" CASE WITH THE JEEP ENGINEERS. THIS PROBLEM IS WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION AND NOT IN MOTION.

I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE RECALL FIX ON THE 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE FOR THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (DIFFICULTY GETTING THE CAR INTO PARK, GOING INTO REVERSE INSTEAD) IS STILL OCCURRING AFTER THE 'RECALL REPAIR' BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE OWNED A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SUMMIT SINCE DECEMBER 2014. THERE IS A CHANGE TO THE SHIFTING MECHANISM WITH THE RECALL REPAIR, HOWEVER, PROBLEMS STILL EXIST IN GETTING THE CAR INTO PARK. I STILL HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR IS IN PARK AND NOT REVERSE WHEN I ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE CAR. THE SHIFT TO PARK SHOULD BE EASY AND THE CASUAL DRIVER (RENTER/ BORROWER/ YOUNG ADULT DRIVER) OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE IS IN DANGER OF A LIFE THREATENING INCIDENCE IF THEY ARE NOT ADEQUATELY TRAINED ON HOW TO EFFECTIVELY PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. IT JUST DOES NOT OPERATE SAFELY AND REQUIRES TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO EXECUTE, WHAT SHOULD BE, A SIMPLE DRIVER FUNCTION. AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING INCIDENCES WHERE THE CAR WILL ROLL IN REVERSE WHEN I THINK IT SHOULD BE IN PARK. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ADDRESS THIS AGAIN WITH CHRYSLER AND REQUIRE THEM TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT FIX TO THIS SEVERE AND DANGEROUS ISSUE.

THE AUTONOMOUS BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES CAME ON FOR NO REASON AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH AN EMPTY ROAD AHEAD OF ME. I WAS NEARLY HIT FROM THE REAR, VERY SCARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V168000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND 16V240000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I'VE WAITED 9 MONTHS FOR THE SO CALLED FIX FOR THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER THAT HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE PROBLEMS AND NEAR MISS CATASTROPHES AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO INSTALLED THE SOFTWARE "FIX" AND NOW THE CAR WON'T START- DASHBOARD SAYS" IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY FOB AND IT WILL NOT START IN GEAR" HEADLIGHTS ALSO START BLINKING WHEN TRYING TO START AND DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK. I WANT ANOTHER CAR.
