2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL. I DID RECEIVE A LETTER FOR A RECALL. I MISPLACED THE LETTER. CAN I GET ANOTHER SO WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER I CAN PRESENT IT TO THEM SO THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. THANK YOU.

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND HER BODY JUST SHOT FORWARD LIKE SOMEBODY SHOVED HER FROM BEHIND. THE HEADREST SHOT OUT OF PLACE AND HIT HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD FORCING HER FORWARD. SHE HAD SOME NECK PAIN FOR A LITTLE BIT BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. THANKFULLY IT WAS THE PASSENGER SEAT AND NOT THE DRIVER SEAT. I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE IF ONE OF US WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO THE DRIVER.

THE HEADREST ON MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. INSPECTION OF THE HEADREST SHOWS THE PLASTIC BRACKET HOLDING THE METAL PIN IS BROKEN AND YET THE HOLDING CLAMP IS NOT RELEASED. THE HEADREST CANNOT BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I AM VERY CONCERNED AFTER READING OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THIS CAN OCCUR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AS WELL WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. YOU NEED TO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE, LIKE ME, GETS KILLED.

MY JEEP STALLED IN 50MPH TRAFFIC CAUSING A HORRIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I BARELY COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS LATER TOLD MY TONE/RELUCTOR WHEEL HAD BROKEN RESULTING IN LOSS OF SIGNAL FROM THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR SO THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN.

DURING REGULAR USE OF VEHICLE, HEADLAMP CASINGS APPEAR TO BE MELTING. VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 120K MILES.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL GIVE A JERK WHEN I ACCELERATE AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN TO A STOP (GAS PEDAL DOES NOT WORK TO ACCELERATE) THE CAR SHIFTS ITSELF FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH SCREEN "PUT VEHICLE INTO DRIVE". SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND SOMETIMES IS DOES NOT. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED I'M ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE AGAIN. THIS OCCURS AGAIN SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DAY OR WILL HAPPEN ONCE EVERY WEEK OR SO. I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE TCM, BATTERY, SPARK PLUGS AND CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTERS AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY HAVE NO REAL ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY MY ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I NOTICED A LOT OF SMOKE/STEAM COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF MY CAR. I PULLED MY CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED IT. I OPENED THE HOOD TO SEE IF I COULD SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS BUT WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY SEE THE ISSUE. THERE WAS A LOT OF STEAM/SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR TO CALL AAA FOR A TOW AND WHILE ON THE PHONE I NOTICED AN ORANGE GLOW FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I IMMEDIATELY HUNG UP AND CALLED 911. THEN GOT ALL MY BELONGINGS OUT OF THE CAR AND AT THIS POINT THE FIRE HAD ENGULFED THE FRONT OF THE CAR. CHP AND FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS.*DT*JB

A BIG WARNING COMES ON MY DASH BOARD SAYING BRAKES AND AUTOMATICALLY STOPS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. IT IS SCAREY BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASON I NEED TO BRAKE NOR CAN I CONTROL THAT THE CAR IS FORCE BRAKING IT SELF. I HAVE READ 2 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND BOTH HAVE ENDED IN CRASHING THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE COMPUTER FORCE BRAKING ITSELF IN THE SUV.

THE CAR REFUSES TO START. IT WON'T TURNOVER. IT IS COMPLETELY SILENT. THE PUSH START WILL NOT WORK.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT BACK TO POSITION. WHEN PARKED AND EXITING THE VEHICLE THE SEAT BELT HANGS AND GETS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE SEAT BELT FITTING SO LOOSE BECAUSE IT NO LONGER RETRACTS.
