I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 7/5/15 AND MY DASH STARTED FLASHING. IT WAS READING THE INCORRECT SPEED AND MILEAGE AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND FCA ABOUT THIS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SPEEDOMETER,ODOMETER AND THE DASH FLASHING SINCE AUGUST 2014 BUT EVERYTIME I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WELL THIS TIME I TOOK A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING. MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ MY TRAVELING 30MPH THEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 20MPH AND THEN ALL THE WAY UP TO 40MPH ALL IN MY 22 SECOND VIDEO! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I WAS REALLY GOING AND THE FLASHING IS VERY DISSTRACTING TO TRY AND DRIVE AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. I HAVE TOLD FCA FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW THAT I DO NOT FEEL MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS SAFE AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE MORE AND MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH IT EVEN AFTER THE RECALLS WERE COMPLETED AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM THEM. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED SO MUCH TO THEM THAT THEY ASKED ME TO STOP CALLING.

THERE HAS BEEN INCIDENT THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING WENT OFF AND THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. IT HAPPENED BOTH HIGH SPEED AND LOW SPEED. THE RECENT INCIDENT WAS CAPTURED MY ONBOARD DASH CAM. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/PLAYLIST?LIST=PLQWA_9V6MHPJRX6J4THJGTNMA1VF99O-4

MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE TO LEASE. I AM A RETURNING JEEP CUSTOMER AND THIS IS MY 5TH CHRYSLER LEASED PRODUCT. THIS ALL STARTED ONLY ONE WEEK (SEPTEMBER 2013) AFTER LEASING THE 2014 GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD GOING BLACK. BECAUSE OF THIS I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR OVER THREE WEEKS AND AT THAT POINT THERE STILL WAS NOT A FIX. THE DEALER AND SERVICE DEPT (DICK SCOTT DODGE) WERE NOT HELPFUL AT ALL REGARDING THIS MATTER. FINALLY I SWITCHED TO GOLLING AND THE SERVICE MANAGER QUICKLY RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND ORDERED A NEW PART. THANK GOODNESS FOR GOLLING!! CHRYSLER'S CASE MANAGER WAS USELESS AND NEVER RESOLVED THE ISSUE! THE RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED UNTIL DECEMBER. SINCE THIS TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS 5 RECALLS ALL IN THE FIRST YEAR OF LEASING. TO SAY I AM DISAPPOINTED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. I DO NOT TRUST THIS JEEP AT ALL AND WILL NOT BE LEASING ANOTHER ONE. I AM JUST SO GLAD THAT I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LEFT ON MY LEASE. THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM. I AM ALWAYS QUESTIONING THE SAFETY OF THIS JEEP WHEN I PUT MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD 5 RECALLS ON A LEASED CAR AND I HAVE BEEN LEASING FOR OVER 17 YEARS.

DURING A DRIVE UP A MOUNTAIN GRADE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND TOWING A RECREATIONAL BOAT ON 7-4-15, OUR 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE 3.0L ECODIESEL ENGINE OVERHEATED (I.E. COOLANT) AND THE OIL TEMPERATURE REACH OVER 300 DEGREES. THESE CONDITIONS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A VERY SLOW DRIVING CONDITION (I.E. 5MPH) ON A TWO (2) LANE HIGHWAY CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM BEHIND US AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE TURNOUT LANES WERE INFREQUENT. WHEN OPENING THE HOOD, IT APPEARED THAT THE COOLANT HAD SPRAYED OUT OF THE RESERVOIR THROUGH THE CAP AND ONTO THE ENGINE. WE ATTEMPTED TO COOL THE ENGINE DOWN OVER A TWO (2) HOUR PERIOD AND ADDED OVER 1.5 GALLONS OF A WATER/COOLANT MIXTURE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL OVERHEATED AND HAD THE ENGINE OIL REACH OVER 300 DEGREES UNTIL WE COULD PARK IT FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS. THE VEHICLE IS RATED TO TOW 7200LBS. WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED TOWING PACKAGE HOWEVER, JEEP CURIOUSLY DID NOT INSTALL A TOWING FEATURE ON THE MODEL TO HELP WITH SHIFTING, ETC. THE BOAT AND TRAILER WEIGHS LESS THAN 3450LBS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND I AM AFRAID THAT THE ISSUE HAS DAMAGED THE ENGINE. THE JEEP/CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE LINE WOULD ONLY TOW THE VEHICLE BUT NOT OUR BOAT AND WAS NO HELP TO US SO WE WERE LEFT ON OUR OWN DURING OUR 4TH OF JULY VACATION. JEEP NEEDS TO PROVIDE A TOWING FEATURE, INSTALL A HEAVY DUTY ADDITIONAL OIL COOLER AND ADDITIONAL ENGINE COOLING PROVISIONS FOR THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH THE 3.0L ECODIESEL AND FACTORY TOWING PACKAGE FROM A SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY/LONGEVITY PERSPECTIVE. PLEASE ASSIST US. THANK YOU.

I SEE FROM YOUR WEB SITE MY CAR HAS 8 RECALLS. I HAVE ONLY RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES FROM FIAT CHRYSLER. THE AIRBAG RECALL AND VISOR WIRING RECALL. IT ALSO TOOK OVER 2 MONTHS TO RECEIVE THE RECALL SERVICE.

MY CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A FORWARD COLLISION WARNING THAT WILL SIGNAL YOU WHEN YOU ARE TOO CLOSE TO A VEHICLE AND AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGES THE BRAKE IF A COLLISION IS IMMINENT. THE CAR HAS 3 TIMES NOW SIGNALED AND ENGAGED THE BRAKES WHEN THERE WERE NO VEHICLES NEAR ME. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH NO CARS IN MY VISIBLE SIGHT AND THE SIGNAL ALARMED AND THEN THE CAR BRAKED ON IT'S OWN. THIS AGAIN HAPPENED YESTERDAY 6/29/15 WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WITH A GREEN ARROW AND THE VEHICLE BRAKED WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. A CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO HIT THEIR BRAKES AND SWERVE TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. EACH TIME I BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN'T FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY CAN'T REPLICATE.
