2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

The passenger side headrest exploded open for no reason and cannot be put back. I looks like the mechanism failed and it deployed open with a lot of force. Looking online seems to confirm this is an issue.

I was sitting in the passenger seat in my driveway with the vehicle off getting ready for my family to go to the store. The passenger head rest busted open causing my head and body to jerk forward.

I have 34,000 miles on my keep I am the original owner and my tires have been rotated every 5,000 miles. The tread is cracking on every tire. Tire size is 265/59/20 Fortera hl. I called Goodyear and they will do nothing they say rotting is only warranted for 4 years. How can that be? It’s a 60,000 mile tire. I brought it to Goodyear in Jericho N.Y and was told by Sean there is nothing he could do. I was also in touch with Pamela Pringle from customer support and she never got back to me. It is unsafe to drive on those tires and Goodyear should replace them.

I HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST AT JEEP ONLY, LAS VEGAS, FOR 7 WEEKS TO REPAIR RECALL W79/NHTSA 20V-699. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT RETURN TEXT MESSAGE OR PHONE CALLS. MY SERVICE ADVISOR JOSHUA GAVE A 5-WEEK LEAD TIME FOR REPAIR MID MARCH, 2021. JEEP ONLY 5255 W SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS NV 89146. PHONE 702-602-0090

THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST RETAINING MECHANISM FAILED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WAS A VIOLENT EVENT, THAT HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS COULD REALLY CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE. WE WERE ON A SURFACE STREET AND THANKFULLY NOT ON THE FREEWAY. WE HAD JUST FILLED UP WITH GAS AND HAD JUST TURNED RIGHT ONTO THE ROAD, MAYBE WENT 100 YARDS AND THAT IS WHEN IT BLEW. WE HAD JUST DRIVEN ABOUT 150 MILES PRIOR TO GETTING GAS.*DT

HALO LIGHTS IN 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE WENT OUT. THIS IS NOT A LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT IS $1600 FOR JUST THE PART. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY SO WHEN I CALLED JEEP TO COMPLAIN THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH ADVISED ME THAT SHE GETS THIS COMPLAINT FREQUENTLY. LIGHTING ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE IS IMPORTANT. WHY WOULD JEEP PUT A PART ON A CAR THAT YOU CANNOT REPLACE OR CHANGE A BULB AND IF IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECT OF SOME SORT.
