2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT IS NOT RETRACTING. WILL NOT RETRACT REGARDLESS OF STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THE UPPER PORTION OF THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT OR HOLD IN PLACE TO PROTECT.

WE WERE IN A CHURCH PARKING LOT, SUNDAY MORNING AT ABOUT 10AM. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 65 DEGREES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. MY WIFE GOT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE HEADREST POPPED OUT AND STRUCK HER IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD. SHE LATER DEVELOPED A HEADACHE AND GENERAL DIZZINESS. WE STAYED IN THE REST OF THE DAY SO SHE COULD LAY DOWN. NOT SURE IF A TELESCOPING HEADREST WAS A FEATURE, I DID A WEB SEARCH TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I READ ABOUT THE 'EXPLODING HEADREST', A TERM THAT DESCRIBES WHAT IT WAS LIKE. LOOKING AT THE INSIDE OF THE HEADREST, I CAN SEE THE BROKEN PLASTIC TABS THAT WERE DESCRIBED BY OTHERS. I ASSUMED THIS WOULD BE A RECALL ITEM, BUT WAS DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN IT WAS NOT. AFTER CALLING THE DEALER, WE WERE GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $850 TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A BAD DESIGN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AS A RECALL FIX. WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY NOW SO WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT EXTENDED.

OIL FILTER HOUSING CAUSED OIL TO LEAK OUT OF JEEP WITHOUT ANY WARING-PART IS ON 50,000 UNIT PLUS BACK ORDER YOU CANT GET THE PART THERE IS NO FIX

DRIVER SEAT BELT IS NOT RETRACTING AND IT APPEARS THE PLASTIC GUIDE IN THE A-PILLAR IS CREAKED. I AM CONCERNED THE INTEGRITY OF THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM IS COMPROMISED DUE TO FAULTY PLASTIC TENSION GUIDE. I NOTICED THE CRACK AFTER EXITING THE JEEP AS THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT.

LEFT HEAD CYCLINDER IN ENGINE CRACKED WITH COOLANT LEAKING TO ENGINE. 2011-2013 WERE EXTENDED ON WARRANTY FOR THIS BUT NOT THE 2014 YET. TO FIX THE 1 ISSUE APPARENTLY REQUIRES REPLACING SEVERAL OTHER PARTS RESULTING IN A ASTRONOMICAL BILL. WHEN GOT BACK FROM GETTING CHECKED OUT THE ENGINE NOW MAKES A TICKING SOUND. ALSO GEAR SHIFT ISSUES WHERE THE CAR WILL SAY IN DESIRED GEAR AND WON'T GO INTO PARK AND STALL OUT. THE SECOND WAS A RECALL BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. GEAR SHIFT ISSUE HAPPENS AT RANDOM AND HAS LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DASHBOARD BUBBLED AND WRINKLED AND STARTED TO FALL APART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BURNS MOTORS (1300 E U.S. HIGHWAY 83, BUSINESS, MCALLEN, TX 78501) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE DASHBOARD NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING MY HEAD REST DEPLOYED AND STUCK ME IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD/NECK. I AM NOT ABLE TO ADJUST IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION.

MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4 "S GRILLE COWL IS CRACKING SO BAD THAT IT IS MAKING A HOWLING NOISE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS BEEN GRADUALLY GETTING WORSE. IT IS TO THE POINT NOW THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY JEEP.
