2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

HARD OR ROUGH SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR WHEN TRANSMISSION IS COLD AS IN THE FIRST USE OF THE DAY.IF DONE DURING HARD ACCELERATION FEELS AS THOUGH TRANSMISSION WILL DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER TRANSMISSION WARMS UP TO APPROX 170 DEGREES SHIFTING BECOMES SMOOTH. ALSO SLIPPING TYPE ACTION WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 1ST.

ON THE HIGHWAY THE "FORWARD COLLISION WARNING WITH STOP" SYSTEM NEEDLESSLY ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY WERE APPLIED BY THE CAR ON ITS WON CAUSING IT TO DECELERATE RAPIDLY FISHTAILING UNCONTROLLABLY. IT WAS RAINING. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE SITUATION OCCURRED.

VEHICLE HAS, ON THREE OCCASIONS SLAMMED ON BRAKES WHEN A VEHICLE SLOWS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE ADJACENT TO THE LANE OF TRAVEL. BRAKE WARNING APPEARS WITH WARNING SOUNDS.

ENTER VEHICLE AND PLACED IT IN THE RUN POSITION, I HEARD A DING FROM THE CONSOLE AND NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED. I THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES HOWEVER THE LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALERS' SERVICE ADVISOR STATES THAT IT WILL BE TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN SERVICE THE VEHICLE. HE ADVISED THAT I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AS I NORMALLY WOULD, WITH THE SERVE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED???? THAT MAKES NO SENSE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS PARKING HER 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OUTSIDE OF A RETAIL STORE. AS SHE SLOWED AND PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE JEEP SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD, JUMPING THE CURB, CROSSING A SIDEWALK, GOING THROUGH A SMALL GRASS MEDIAN, AND INTO A DIFFERENT AREA OF THE PARKING LOT. THE POLICE REPORT, OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT, CASE NUMBER 15-REDACTED, ACCURATELY RECORDS THE SURGE. THE OFFICERS CONCLUSION WAS DRIVER ERROR. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS CONCERNING 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE ACCIDENT AND THAT WHEN THE JEEP CAME IN FOR REPAIR, I WANTED THE ACCIDENT DATA PRESERVED. HE TOLD ME THE ONLY DATA THAT HE COULD OBTAIN WAS JEEPS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, WHICH I COULD NOT HAVE. A REPRESENTATIVE FORM MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS ADAMANT THAT WE, AS THE OWNERS OF THE JEEP, HAVE A RIGHT TO ANY INFORMATION CAPTURED BY THE JEEPS SYSTEMS. HOWEVER, THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAD NO WAY TO OBTAIN THAT INFORMATION WHEN THEY APPRAISED THE DAMAGE TO THE JEEP. I NEED HELP IN OBTAINING THE DATA BY SOMEONE OUTSIDE OF JEEP WHO CAN ACCESS IT, OR HELP TO COMPEL JEEP TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE INFORMATION, HENCE THIS ONLINE SUBMISSION.

CAR HAS AUTOMATIC BRAKE WARNING WHICH APPLIES THE BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY. ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THERE WAS NO OTHER CARS IN SIGHT. NOT ONLY WERE THERE NO CARS IN SIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY THE BRAKES WOULD COME ON. I TO,D THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT LAST YEAR AND HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES, THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT TURN LANE OF A TWO LANE LEFT TURN STOPLIGHT. STOPLIGHT TURNS GREEN FOR LEFT TURN LANES TO PROCEED TO HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP, AS I AM TURNING LEFT MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY SLAMS INTO A FULL BRAKE AND STOPS IN MIDDLE OF TURN LANE. THE CAR WAS OUT OF MY CONTROL AS THE BRAKE PEDDLE WAS FULLY PRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BRAKE. MY VEHICLE DOES HAVE THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM, WHICH WAS ACTIVATED THIS DAY. THE CAR BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES SINCE MY VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A LEFT TURN. WE DID NOT GET REAR ENDED THANKFULLY. THERE WAS A CAR TO THE RIGHT OF MY VEHICLE ALSO MAKING A LEFT TURN, AT NO POINT DID THIS VEHICLE COME NEAR MY VEHICLE NOR CROSSED LANES. MY VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR NO REASON AND WHEN I WENT TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT CONTINUED TO STAY IN A FULL BRAKE, IT TOOK ABOUT A MINUTE TO GET MY VEHICLE TO START ACCELERATING AGAIN. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I TURNED OFF THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM. TO BE DRIVING A VEHICLE AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR TAKES CONTROL OF ITSELF IS VERY SCARY AND NOT SAFE.

DRIVING THROUGH THE EISENHOWER TUNNEL THE BRAKE WARNING SYSTEM ACTIVATED. THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP FOR OVER A YEAR AND HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH THIS TUNNEL OVER 80 TIMES AND NOW WHENEVER DRIVING THROUGH THE TUNNEL THIS BRAKE WARNING WILL FLASH. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 16 TIMES NOW. THIS WARNING IS NOW GOING OFF ON THE OPEN INTERSTATE AND SECONDARY ROADS. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL STOPS WORKINGS AFTER 15-20 MINUTES. THIS HAS BEEN INTO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, ONLY TO TELL ME THE LENS WAS DIRTY. WITHIN 20 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER (WHO CLEANED THE SENSOR) THE SYSTEM STOPS WORKING AND SAYS TO CLEAN THE SENSOR. NO SNOW OR WATER WAS DRIVEN THROUGH PRIOR TO THE MESSAGE BEING DISPLAYED.
