2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

MOTOR OIL IS LEAKING FROM THE OIL COOLER/FILTER HOUSING. OIL HAS PUDDLED IN THE ENGINE VALLEY AND RUN DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING. VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE HOT MOTOR OIL AND OIL LEVEL WAS LOW.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH. BUT THE CAR DOES HAVE GOOD OIL PRESSURE. AND EVEN AFTER AN OIL CHANGE THE LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF

CAR CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I HAD TO CALL 911 BECAUSE I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. CAR WAS TOWED. IT WAS DETERMINED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT NEEDED REPLACING WHICH IS EXPENSIVE. THIS CAR IS JUST 4 YEARS OLD AND I'VE KEPT IT SERVICED. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. I HAVE RECEIPTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V741000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), AND 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER (FERMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM TAMPA, 24314 FL-54, LUTZ, FL 33559, (813) 929-2400) WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

OIL COOLER HOUSING ON MY 3.6 L PENTASTAR ENGINE, WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC, HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK CAUSING MOTOR OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. THERE COULD BE A POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE. DEALER HAS THESE ON BACK ORDER. THIS PART USED TO BE MADE OF METAL ON PRIOR MODELS AND WAS NOT AN ISSUE. SOUNDS TO ME THAT THIS PART SHOULD BE REDESIGNED.

DRIVER'S SIDE ACTIVE HEAD REST THAT IS INTENDED TO SPRING FORWARD IN A REAR END COLLISION HAS ACTIVATED AND IS NOW STICKING FORWARD. THE CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM IS BROKEN PLASTIC PINS IN THE HEAD REST. THERE ARE MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS ONLINE. I HAVE BEEN TO MULTIPLE JEEP DEALERSHIPS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO CLAIM THAT THIS DEACTIVATES THE REST OF THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT INCLUDING AIRBAGS WHICH WOULD BE INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AND UNETHICAL FOR THEM TO NOT REPAIR THIS CLEAR DEFECT.

KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE THAT STATES THE 911 SYSTEM NEEDS MAINTENANCE. WHEN STARTING MY JEEP MY SCREEN WILL STAY BLANK FOR ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE COMING ON. WHEN IT IS BLANK I AM UNABLE TO USE MY BACK UP CAMERA, ADJUST MY CLIMATE CONTROLS, BLUETOOTH PHONE. THE VEHICLE WILL SWITCH BETWEEN AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT, HIGH FAN AND LOW FAN SPEED. WHEN THE SCREEN IS BLANK I AM UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING.....EVEN USING THE BUTTONS BELOW THE SCREEN DO NOT WORK. I AM UNABLE TO UNLOCK MY DOORS USING MY DOOR UNLOCK/LOCK CONTROL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WHILE IM DRIVING I CAN UNLOCK MY DOORS, WHICH AS A SAFETY FEATURE I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO. MY OIL CHANGE NOTIFICATION WILL NOT GO AWAY EVEN AFTER GETTING MY OIL CHANGED.

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.

COOLANT WEEPAGE AT EGR HOSE SAME SYMPTOM AS DESCRIBED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 07-003-14 WHILE STATIONARY

OIL FILTER HOUSING LEAK. NOTICED CAR BEGAN LEAKING OIL AFTER JEEP DEALER CHAGNED OIL. TOOK TO A DIFFERENT DEALER, AND FOUND OUT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS LEAKING. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE AND YEAR, YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL.
