2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WILL PUSH TO START WHILE MY FOOT ON BRAKE AND IT WILL NOT START. LIGHTS RADIO ALL INTERIOR WILL TURN ON BUT ENGINE WILL NOT START . IT HAPPENS AT FIRST ATTEMPT IN THE MORNING AND IT WILL HAPPEN AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. IT COULD BE OFF FOR 15 MINUTES TO 5 HOURS AND IT WILL STALL THE SAME. ITS PARKED IN GARAGE, BUT ITS THE SAME IF I LEAVE OUTDOORS. THIS HAS BECOME AN EVERY DAY THING FOR THE LAST 3 OR 4 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 10 TO 15 MPH, THE DRIVER'S HEADREST AIR BAG ABRUPTLY DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROMANO CHRYSLER JEEP (215 W GENESEE STREET, FAYATTEVILLE, NY 13066, 315-637-3101) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER'S HEADREST AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

THE HEADREST OF THE DRIVERS SEAT DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND AND THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STEADY SPEED WITH NO SUDDEN JOLTS OR STOPS. I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP AND THE HEADREST HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. THE INCIDENT STARTLED ME AND CAUSED ME TO HIT MY BREAKS.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING GOES OUT EVERY DAY. THE AMOUNT OF TIME FROM STARTING THE VEHICLE TO WHEN IT STOPS WORKING VARIES, FROM IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE CAR TO AS MUCH AS 30 MINUTES AFTER. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BY ANY SPECIFIC SCENARIO CAUSING IT.

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. I CANNOT UPLOAD PHOTOS AS THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE.

COMPLETE ELECTRONIC AND COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL FROM UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OVER TRANSMISSION SHIFTING AND MOST CONTROL SWITCHES LIKE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS, EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND BRAKE WARNING LIKE IS ON THAT I BELIEVE INDICATED NO ABS. EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES DRIVING ON I-75 IN MICHIGAN AND OHIO. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE ON THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. INITIAL WARNING IS "SERVICE SHIFTER SOON" FOLLOWED BY "NO BUS". AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE FCA DEALER, ROOT CAUSE NOT IDENTIFIED AND MORE FIX TO DATE. SUSPECT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MALFUNCTIONING BUT NO HELP FROM DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. REOCCURING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 9 MONTHS. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 79,000 MILES WITH VIN # (XXX) 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. NO ACCIDENTS OR AFTERMARKET ADD ON WORK EVER. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE TO FLORIDA FOR RETIREMENT ON 1-25-2019 THROUGH 1-29-2019. AGAIN, NO RESOLUTION FROM GOLLING CHRYSLER OR FROM FCA STAR CASE #57876853. I FEAR THIS VEHICLE IS NOT RELIABLE AT THIS POINT FOR SHORT OR LONG DISTANCE DRIVING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CW

THE DEFROST AND TEMPERATURE WILL IT STAY CONSTANT. I CAN SET THE TEMP TO 70. IT WILL GET SUPER HOT AND MINUTES LATER IT FEELS LIKE THE AC IS ON. THE DEFROST DOESN'T WORK MOST OF THE TIME AND WILL NOT DEFROST THE MIRRORS

SEATS - DRIVERS SEAT - SEAT CONTROLS BROK AWAY FROM THE SEAT. SEAT CONTROL TRIM REPLACED, SEAT FRAME REPLACED, PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AGAIN. RADIO - SCREEN GOES BLACK RANDOMLY. RADIO REPLACED 2 TIMES AND MODULE ONCE THESE ARE OVER VARIOUS DATES AN CURRENTLY AN ISSUE AGAIN. WILL SELECT CURRENT DATE

THE 'SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM' DISPLAY AND AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. I HAD IT REPAIRED BUT THE DEALER SAID IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE 'SAFETY WARRANTY' . I THINK IT SHOULD BE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING A 40MPH STREET WHEN I WAS GOING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I WAS WAITING FOR CARS TO PASS TO MAKE THE TURN WHEN THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS TRYING TO TURN BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T LET ME ACCELERATE. I AM THANKFUL THAT THERE WASN'T ANY CARS COMING TOWARDS ME. I PULLED OVER TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON IT WENT AWAY. THE CAR HAD A RECALL IN 2017 FOR THE ALTERNATOR. I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT WHERE I WAS DRIVING AND THE JEEP HAD SLOWED DOWN IT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AT A APARTMENT COMPLEX. THE JEEPS DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE FLASHING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON REALLY FAST, EVERYTHING WAS FLASHING. I COULDN'T PUT THE CAR IN PARKING, IT WAS SMOKING. I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT, I HAD MANAGED TO TURN AROUND GET HER OUT WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE PEDAL JUMP OUT OF THE CAR WITH HER IN MY ARMS. THE CAR KEPT MOVING UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO A CAR INFRONT OF IT. I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO DIE WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. I FEEL LIKE THE THROTTLE COULD BE RELATED TO THE ALTERNATOR. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR.
