2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I HAVE A DIESEL ENGINE WHICH HAS A VERY OBVIOUS LAG IN GETTING POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS GETTING WORSE AND AFFECTS MY ABILITY TO ENTER IN TO TRAFFIC SAFELY.EVEN IF I HAVE ALLOWED FOR SAFE DISTANCE TO MERGE INTO A LANE I NEVER KNOW IF MY CAR WILL SPEED UP QUICKLY ENOUGH SO AS TO NOT GET HIT

I AM HAVING CONSTANT VALVE TAPPING IN MY ENGINE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS COLD OR WARM, IT TAPS CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE 114,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, BUT HAVE KEPT UP ON ALL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE INCLUDING THE REQUIRED SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL BRAKES ON MY JEEP, SO IT'S NOT DRIVEN HARD. I JUST DON'T THINK THERE SHOULD BE TAPPING WITH A VEHICLE WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILEAGE.

WITHIN THE SAME MONTH PERIOD OF TIME BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELTS ARE NOW COMPLETELY FAILING TO RETRACT. EARLIER THIS YEAR THEY STARTED RETRACTING MORE SLOWLY BUT NOW WILL NOT RETRACT AT ALL MAKING THE SEAT BELTS ESSENTIALLY USELESS. I'VE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO REPORTS THE RETRACTION ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES. THE VEHICLE IS GOING ON 6 YEARS OLD WITH LIMITED USE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $1200 TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO BE DOING EVERY 5-6 YEARS. SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE MORE RELIABLE AND DURABLE THAN 6 YEARS.

THE SEAT REST POPPED OPENED AND IT CANNOT BE PUSHED BACKED TOGETHER. I WAS PARKED AT THE TIME WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. BOTH SEAT BELT LOCKS DO NOT OPEN PROPERLY WITHOUT PUSHING DOWN THE BUCKLE INTO THE LOCK WHILE PRESSING ON THE RELEASE BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

THE LEATHER ON THE DASHBOARD IS BUBBLING. THERE IS SOME SORT OF GLUE ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE.

RECEIVED A RECALL 1 MONTH GO BUT THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR-NO PARTS!! RECALL W58 "A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING" NOW I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE TO WORK BUT NO WAY TO GET IT REPAIRED???

SHORTLY AFTER I TURNED RIGHT, WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED, OUT OF THE BLUE I WAS FORCEFULLY HIT IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD. I PULLED OVER IN CONFUSION TO ASSESS WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THERE WERE NO FLYING OBJECTS IN THE CAR, NOR OTHER CARS BEHIND ME, AS I BRIEFLY WONDERED IF I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. UPON LEAVING MY VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY SAW THAT THE HEADREST WAS SPLIT OPEN, AND WAS THE CAUSE OF THE HARD SMACK ON THE HEAD.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST POPPED OPEN FOR NO REASON. THERE HAD BEEN NO COLLISION. ON INSPECTION OF THE RELEASE MECHANISM IT'S APPARENT THAT THE PLASTIC PIECE, RETAINING A PIN, BROKE AND CAUSED THE HEADREST TO RELEASE AND POP FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY (PARKED IN PARKING LOT) WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HAD SOMEONE BEEN DRIVING THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN INJURY.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC AND WE WERE NEARING A STOP SIGN WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE AND FELT SOMETHING HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD, THRUSTING MY HEAD FORWARD. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT THEN I DISCOVERED THAT MY HEADREST HAD SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. THE HEADREST IS UNABLE TO BE RESET BECAUSE THE PLASTIC PIECES THAT KEEP IT TOGETHER ARE BROKEN, WHICH APPEARS TO BE WHY IT SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED.

EVAPORATOR CORE BEHIND THE DASH HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK AFTER 65,000 MILES, WITHOUT ANY OFF ROAD USE OR BEING INVOLVED IN ANY CRASHES. PAID $50,000. FOR THIS VEHICLE AND EXPECTED IT TO LAST LONGER, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT A $3000 REPAIR THAT IS A NOT A RESULT OF WEAR AND TEAR.
