2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I CONTINUE TO HAVE SERVICE SHIFTER AND CHECK ENGINE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION BOTH ON CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AND IN PARK. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS COME ONE, IN MANY CASES THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND I LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, WHICH CAUSES A SEVERE SAFETY RISK IF IT OCCURS WHILE TURNING OR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MANY TIMES MY DASHBOARD WILL GO COMPLETELY BLACK FOR SECONDS AND MY WIND SHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE FOR 180 DAYS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING CONTROL MODULE, THE TCM, THE TELEMAX COMMUNICATION MODULE, THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE SHIFTER, BUT THE ISSUE ALWAYS COMES BACK. OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS THE ISSUES HAVE GOTTEN WORSE AND THE VEHICLE IS GETTING MORE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THESE ISSUES AND FCA SHOULD TAKE ACTION.

DEFECTIVE ACTIVE HEADREST - ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. PLASTIC COMPONENTS BROKEN WHICH HOLD ACTIVE HEADREST

THE SHIFTER BEGAN JUMPING OUT OF GEAR ABOUT OCTOBER, 2020...WHEN I WOULD PUT IN PARK GETTING OUT IT HAD MOVED BACK TO DRIVE AND I HAD TO QUICKLY GET BACK IN AND PUT BACK IN PARK. THERE HAD BEEN AN EARLIER RE CALL, TOOK TO DEALER SHIP AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WHATEVER PROBLEM WAS. AT TIME OF RECALL I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. AS TIME WORE ON I BEGAN TO HAVE SHIFTER PROBLEMS. THE LIGHT ON SHIFTER BEGAN TO GO OFF AND ON AND IT GETTING OUT OF SHIFT BECAME MORE FREQUENT ...TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IN SOUTHAVEN MS...SERVICE MGR SAID THERE HAD NO COMPLAINTS...MY RESEARCH SHOWED DIFFERENT...HE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE PLACE BUT BACK ORDER...THIS WAS IN NOVEMBER. IT IS NOW JANUARY, 21 AND I AM STILL DRIVING AND THE SHIFTER IS STILL ON BACK ORDER, ACCORDING TO LANDERS JEEP THEY KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPLACE WITH CORP SAYING THAT 357 SHIFTERS SO FAR ARE ON BACK ORDER...THAT IS ALL THAT THEY WOULD DO....THIS SITUATION IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT SCARY...CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO SHOVE UNDER THE RUG ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER AND DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS WHO NEED MORE THAN JUST LIES AND BLANK STARES.

THIS 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE EGR SYSTEM (RECALL W79). ON DECEMBER 29, 2020, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER (TURNERSVILLE JEEP) FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 12 2021. THIS DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE UNTIL FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. THIS DEALER DECLINED TO REPAIR THE EGR SYSTEM UNDER THE W79 RECALL, BUT DID REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND THE FUEL TUBES AFTER FINDING THE FUEL INJECTORS RESTRICTED. THIS DEALER THEN CLEARED THE DTC P026C-00 AND PERFORMED A STATIONARY REGENERATION. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AT 5:15 PM ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 2021 AND PROCEEDED TO ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 75 MILES OF DRIVING, I SUFFERED A EXTEME AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM; THE DASH INDICATORS INCLUDED THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP, AN ERROR REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND AN ERROR THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. AS I COASTED TO A STOP, SMOKE BEGAN TO RAPIDLY POUR FROM THE HOOD COVER AND BEGAN TO ENTER THE CABIN THROUGH THE HVAC VENTS. I VACATED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND UNDER SOME DURESS. THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO BILLOW FROM THE ENGINE AREA OF THE VEHICLE AND I COULD SEE IT CONTINUE TO ENTER THE CABIN. AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM ON JANUARY 15, THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED BY FLATBED TO PELLEGRINO JEEP. I SPOKE WITH THE PELLEGRINO JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 2021, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I OPENED CASE #78239258 WITH FCA (JEEP) US LLC CUSTOMER SERVICE. AS OF JANUARY 20 AT 11:30 AM, I DO NOT HAVE FEEDBACK ON THIS CASE. THE DEALER HAS ALSO PROVIDED NO COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SUFFERED A FAILURE DUE TO THE INABILITY OF FCA AND IT'S DEALERS TO REMEDIATE RECALL W79.
