2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND SLOWING DOWN IT LUNGES FORWARD WITH NO INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. THIS SOMETIMES OCCURS BY TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYWHERE, ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND LOST ALL POWER. WILL NOT RESTART. TOWED TO DEALER THEY SAY IT'S FUEL PUMP RELATED. IT IS A FUEL PUMP RELAY WHICH IS A VERY KNOWN ISSUE (RECALL) ON 2011-2013 BUT NOT ON ANYTHING NEWER.

SEVERE BUCKING & JERKING WHILE DRIVING. MORE MODERATE BUCKING WHILE CAR IS IDLE. CODES BEING THROWN ARE P0406 & P0301. IT HAS ALSO THROWN A P0402 AS WELL. I'VE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AS WELL AS ALL SPARK PLUGS AND THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED. MY FUEL MILEAGE IS TANKING AND DRIVING THE JEEP HAS BECOME ALMOST UNBEARABLE.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND THERE IS A MESSAGE ON MY DASH THAT SAYS POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE REQUIRED. I HAVE 36, XXX MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN HIS VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD RISING AS BUBBLES APPEARED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE DASHBOARD FAILURE WAS BECOMING VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE ITS HARD TO SEE THE ROADWAY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER LAKELAND SQUARE MALL (3800 US HIGHWAY 98 NORTH, LAKELAND, FL 33809) WHERE THE DASHBOARD WAS INSPECTED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS WAS ON THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUTOFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO SNETHKAMP CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (11600 TELEGRAPH RD, REDFORD CHARTER TWP, MI 48239) ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AS WELL AS UPON ACCELERATION AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THEY REFERRED HER BACK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 4 TIMES WHERE I'VE BEEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT AUTO-STOPS AND THEN DOESN'T START BACK UP AGAIN WHEN THE TRAFFIC STARTS MOVING AGAIN. A MESSAGE COMES UP ON MY DASHBOARD TELLING ME TO SHIFT TO P AND THEN BACK TO MY DESIRED GEAR. I'LL TRY TO RESTART MY CAR 2-3 TIMES BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS. I'VE BEEN ON HILLS AND ON HIGHWAYS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS BECAUSE OF IT. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR SO 4 'CLOSE CALLS' IS A BIT MUCH FOR SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

28000 MILES +\- DRIVING CAR ON FREEWAY IN HIGH SPEED LANE IN LAS 405 - THE MOST TRAVELED HIGHWAY IN THE US, AND THE CAR SLOWED TO A DEAD STOP. COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. ALL ELECTRICAL STILL WORKING, LIGHTS, DASH, RADIO. WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. HOUR EARLIER CAR WAS IDLING AND IDLED TO A STALL. ALL ELECTRICAL STILL WORKING. POLICE HAD TO COME AND STOP TRAFFIC TO WAIT FOR A FLATBED.

I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOP POSITION, AS I TRIED ACCELERATE THE ENGINE ACTED LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL OR PARK! I THOUGHT I HIT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL, BUT I WAS IN DRIVE. IT WENT BACK INTO DRIVE MODE SECOND S LATER. SCARY FEELING WITH TRAFFIC GOING 50 MPH AROUND ME! WELL IT DID IT AGAIN GOING FROM A STOP POSITION TURNING LEFT ONTO A BUSY 3 LANE STREET. NOW I KNOW SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT!! SO FAR NO RECALL ON MY VIN #, BUT MANY OTHER 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH SOMETHING SIMILAR. IT'S VERY SCARY , DANGEROUS, AND HAZARDOUS! *TR

TWICE NOW I HAVE HAD MY JEEP DIE ON ME WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. FIRST TIME I HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET BY STRANGERS BECAUSE NOTHING WOULD RESTART IT AND IT WAS AT ON A BUSY ROAD AT PEAK TIME. SECOND TIME WAS THIS WEEK. WAITING AGAIN FOR LIGHT TO TURN, AS I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO GO, THE CAR SHUT DOWN. BOTH TIMES I TRIED TO PUT IT INTO PARK, RESTART, NADDA. THIS TIME IT STARTED BACK UP WITHIN ABOUT ONE MINUTE.
