2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY NOTICED UPON RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE, THAT IT DID NOT DRIVE SMOOTHLY AND LACKED POWER DURING ACCELERATION. HOWEVER, SHE FELT IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF FAMILIARITY WITH THE VEHICLE. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE DETERIORATED TO A POINT WHERE A PROBLEM WAS EVIDENT. FREQUENTLY, NOT ALL THE TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE AND OCCASIONALLY NOT RESPOND AT ALL FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS AS THE RPM'S WENT UP. IT FELT AS THE THOUGH, SHE WAS FORCING THE GAS BY PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE GAS WAS BLOCKED FROM FLOWING, OR THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN A LOW GEAR AND NOT UP-SHIFTING. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WITH ONLY 1,231 MILES. THE CONSUMER HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALER, SEVERAL MORE TIMES, DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING. *JB

THE SIDE MIRRORS COMPLETELY BLOCK MY VISION ON BOTH SIDES. WHEN PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN I CANNOT SEE A VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT WHEN IN LINE WITH THE MIRRORS. THE MIRRORS ARE TOO BIG. *TR

VEHICLES "CLUSTER" MEMORY FAILED CAUSING WIPERS TO MALFUNCTION AND RADIO TO LOSE MEMORY. VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE KEYFOB AND WILL SET OFF PANIC ALARM AND/OR WILL NOT DETECT KEYFOB, DISPLAYING WARNING WHICH STATES KEYFOB HAS LEFT THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED "FLASHING" THE MEMORY BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS AND GOING BACK IN FOR SERVICE 1-3-14. UPON READING OTHER FORUMS I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH OTHER GRAND CHEROKEES. *TR

I HAVE THE NEW ECODIESEL!!! YES THIS IS AN AWESOME VEHICLE BUT... AFTER FILING THE VEHICLE UP FOR THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE WAS NOTICED WHILE PULLING THE FUEL NOZZLE FROM THE VEHICLES FUEL NECK. THE CAPLESS GREEN FUEL NECK CAME SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED BACK ON THE DEF SERVICE WARNING COMES ON THE DASH. THIS IS WITH LESS THAN 300 MILES!!! *TR

EVERY INDICATOR ON MY DASH WAS ON AND MY SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T WORK. BROUGHT IT INTO [XXX] WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. IT WAS IN THE SHOP AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND ALSO TO SERVICE THE ABS SYSTEM. TODAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE CAR IS SHIFTING HARD AND HESITATING, CLUNKING AS IT SWITCHES GEARS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SOON AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF THIS VEHICLE (9/27/13) I NOTICED THAT NOW AND AGAIN (4/5 TIMES) THERE WOULD BE A HESITATION FROM THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING TO THE NEXT HIGHER GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED. IT WAS SO SUBTLE THAT I FILED IT UNDER "NOTHING IS PERFECT", BUT WOULD KEEP SCORE. DON'T BE MISLED BY THE LOW MILEAGE ABOVE. THAT IS MY NEW NORMAL. A HEAD AND NECK INJURY IN 2001 FOLLOWED BY A LONG OVERDUE DIAGNOSIS OF SEVERE PTSD BY THE VA LEFT ME PRACTICALLY A "HOUSE HERMIT" AND DRIVING ANYWHERE INVOLVING DISTANCE REQUIRES HIRING A DRIVER. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN MY BEING ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE WOODS WITH A 911 BUTTON ATTACHED TO KEEP THE P/A IN CHECK. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS THAT FROM A STOP SIGN I TURNED ONTO THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO 55 WHEN AT ABOUT 50 THE TRANSMISSION HUNG, THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT RELEASE TO THE NEXT GEAR, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STRUGGLE UNTIL IT ALMOST STALLED. AS UNEXPECTEDLY AS IT HAD HUNG THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED, THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RECOVERED ""WITH A ROAR"" AND OFF WE WENT. (EXTRA RPM'S, ? COMPUTER/FUEL PUMP SAW NO PROBLEM) I'M SURE THAT IN THOSE SECONDS MY SPEED DROPPED 20 MPH'S WITH NO "WARNING", SUCH AS BRAKE LIGHTS HAD SOMEONE BEEN BEHIND ME. HAD THIS OCCURRED ENTERING A BUSY BELT-WAY, INTERSTATE, ETC., YOU CAN IMAGINE THE POSSIBLE MAY-HEM. DID SOME RESEARCH, GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD (AS EXPECTED FROM RESEARCH) THEIR COMPUTER SAW NO ABNORMALITIES AND SHOWED ME A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER TO PROVE IT. ASKED THEM TO SIGN A PIECE OF PAPER SAYING MY DRIVETRAIN WAS "JUST WONDERFUL" AND REAFFIRMING THAT CHRYSLER HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS JUST IN CASE I OR OTHERS WOUND UP DEAD OR MAIMED FROM "NO PROBLEMS". I NOW HAVE A "MORAL PROBLEM" SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS. *TR
