TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HID HEADLAMPS BURNED THE PLASTIC LENSES. THE FAILURE CREATED A SHADOW EFFECT ON THE PLASTIC LENSES AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO VIEW THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LADD-HANFORD DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2247 CUMBERLAND ST, LEBANON, PA 17042, (717) 273-4585) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMP BULBS WERE TOO HOT FOR THE LENSES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

THIS VEHICLE DEVELOPS "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN BEING FLAT TOWED BEHIND A MOTORHOME. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION AND HAVE INTENTIONALLY CAUSED THE "WOBBLE" TO CONFIRM IT'S POTENTIAL. A CORRECTIVE WIRING HARNESS IS AVAILABLE FOR THE JEEP CHEROKEE. HOWEVER, NO CORRECTIVE SYSTEM IS AVAILABLE FOR THE JEEP "GRAND" CHEROKEE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE CHEROKEE AND "GRAND" CHEROKEE HAVE THE SAME ELECTROHYDRAULIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. EVERY JEEP DEALERSHIP I HAVE CONTACTED CLAIMS DENIAL OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE "GRAND" CHEROKEE WHILE ADMITTING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL JEEP CHEROKEE. THE POTENTIAL OF DEVELOPING A "DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND HITTING A POTHOLE, CONSTRUCTION SITE OR RR TRACKS IS REAL. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD NO LUCK WITH SECURING ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION BY ANY JEEP DEALERSHIP IN UTAH.

HEADREST-ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS - MOPAR (6LR08PS4AA) THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST 'EXPLODED' DUE TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE FAULTY MATERIAL. I GOT THE PART NUMBER FROM THE DEALER USING THE VIN NUMBER. A PLASTIC COMPONENT SIMPLY BROKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS SPECIFIC FAILURE APPEARS TO BE THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS A PIN IN PLACE. DEALER INDICATES THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY COMPONENT. A FAILURE WHILE DRIVING COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED EITHER BY THE IMPACT OR IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THIS FAILED IT FORCED THE HEADREST TO MOVE FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES. OURS SELF DESTRUCTED WHILE IT WAS PARKED, THANK GOODNESS. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR. HOWEVER IF WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON A BUSY FREEWAY, THIS COULD BE A DISASTER, ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS THE DRIVERS SIDE.

THE CAR WAS IN ECO MODE. THE CAR WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND WAS STOPPED FOR A TRAIN CROSSING. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS USED TO GO FORWARD THE ENGINE RACED QUICKLY TO 4500 RPMS AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL MANUALLY PLACED IN NEUTRAL FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. AFTER DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 135 AND COMING TO A STOP AT AN EXIT, THE CAR WENT INTO ECO MODE, WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS USED TO PUT THE CAR INTO MOTION THE ENGINE RACED TO 6000 RPMS AND WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO AN UNSAFE SPEED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED. ATTEMPTS WE WERE TOLD WERE TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. AN UPDATE ON SOFTWARE WAS DONE AFTER THE FIRST TWO ISSUES OF THE UNINITIATED ACCELERATED RPMS OF THE ENGINE OCCURRED. AFTER SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED THERE HAVE BEEN TWO UNINITIATED ACCELERATIONS OF THE RPMS. WE WERE CONCERNED FOR UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATIONS OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF OUR CONCERNS, HOWEVER A RESOLUTION HASN'T BEEN DONE. WE ARE CONCERNED FOR SAFETY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AUGUST7 (TWICE), AUGUST 10, AUGUST 20.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD AND I AM SURE I WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING. SOUNDED LIKE A TIRE BLEW AND BEFORE I KNEW IT GLASS WAS FALLING ALL OVER ME AND MY CAR.

WHILE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON I-75 NEAR THE JOSLYN ROAD EXIT, MY SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE IS NO OVERPASS AND THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. LUCKILY MY SUNROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED SO THE BROKEN GLASS ALL FLEW OUTSIDE BUT THE EXPLOSION WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER THE CONTACT'S WIFE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY, SHE LEANED OVER TO GET HER PURSE AND STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE GEAR WAS IN PARK; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SPED OFF AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL OF THE GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED AT THE LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.
