2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

The passenger side seatbelt does not cinch tightly onto the passenger, potentially causing the passenger to shift forward several inches prior to the seatbelt securing the passenger (IF it secured the passenger) and putting that person in danger with the front airbags / front dash of car in an accident.

The passenger headrest deployed because the pin plastic bracket has failed it released the headrest unexpectedly and can not be reset. Please advise this is dangerous!

The shifter system (monostable shifter/ electronic shift module) malfunctioned 4 times so far. It has been to the dealer 3 times and the following has been replaced: the electronic shift module, the shift head/knob, the electronic shift module again, and finally the wiring itself, and now 10 miles after picking up my car that was being serviced since Monday (it is Friday now), I have the same issue and it makes my car stuck in first or second gear, I cannot shift into park or out of drive unless I shut the engine off, it puts my car into limp mode and won't let me accelerate or else the car jerks, my infotainment screen intermittently shuts off, and I get the following warning lights and messages: Check engine light, Braking system light, TPMS light, traction control light, "Service Electronic Braking System" message, "Service Shifter" message with OBD code U1467, "Service Power Steering" message, "Service Transmission- Continue in D. Do not shift or turn engine off" message. The PRND lights on the shift knob also flash. This is very dangerous as my car cannot be shifted out of drive (into park), the car won't accelerate or move above whatever speed 1st gear or 2nd gear will allow me to, the car physically jerks forward, and whatever systems like power steering, braking, etc. that may be affected based on the warning lights. I only get the diagnostic code U1467 which is for the shifter, though.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while moving off from a stop sign, the vehicle inadvertently shifted into neutral and the vehicle stopped independently. The gear shifter showed neutral on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.

On multiple occasions, after steady driving for approximately 1 hour the vehicle will suddenly begin decelerating. This has happened while driving in the highway. Once the car is stopped and turned off for approximately 10 minutes, the car will drive normally and accelerate to normal speeds.

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO PARTS BEING UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM NHTSA SAFETY RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A DIESEL EGR COOLER SAFETY RECALL. THE CONSUMER RECIEVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN NOVEMBER OF 2020. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME COMPLETING THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THE PARTS WERE READY BUT, DID NOT MAKE ANY FURTHER CONTACT WITH THE CONSUMER.

Cracked plastic pinched section of the seat belt at the D-rings and prevented the seat belts from retracting and locking in a sudden stop.

Vehicle lost braking ability intermittently. Had to drive off the road to stop the vehicle without hitting something. Brake light came on the dash but then went off and brakes worked as normal. This has happened several times now. All randomly.

My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee automatic headrest deployed. My wife was driving as normal and she was hit over the head by the headrest. It was deployed under normal driving conditions. There was no accident. This is very dangerous because of the sudden surprise. She could have been killed!!!!!

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at 60 MPH, an unknown warning message indicating that the vehicle would not start the next time she would attempt to start it illuminated. The incorrect DEF fluid warning light illuminated. The contact continued to drive to her residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the PCM software was reprogrammed. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred 7 months later. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the PCM software was again reprogrammed; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer 13 more times and the dealer reprogrammed the PCM software; however, the failure reoccurred while driving. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to the independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the PCM software had forced the engine to shut off due to the diesel exhaust fluid system failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,665.
