2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DOOR WAS OPENED, THEN MY RIGHT PASSENGER HEADREST POPPED FORWARD AND OUT BEFORE THE PASSENGER SAT DOWN WITH LITTLE TO NO MOTION OTHER THAN THE DOOR OPENING.

THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. VEHICLE HAD IMPACT ON DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS AS WELL AS FRONT FENDER.

THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MAINTENANCE REQUIRE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WITH CHECK WNGINE LIGHT AND WON'T DRIVE HAD AT DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES CAN'T FIX?? PLEASE HELP GETTING EXPENSIVE

MY JEEP LEFT HEADLIGHT AND RIGHT IS FILLING UP WITH WATER AND IT IS NOT DRAINING. THE RIGHT WILL DRAIN WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT BUT THE LEFT HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY HAS WATER IN IT FOR MONTHS NOW AND ITS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND IS A DEFECT. ANYTIME IT RAINS IT HAPPENS. I CAN BE DRIVING OR MY JEEP SITTING STILL.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET BUT THERE IS A RECALL OUT (W79) TO REPLACE THE EGR COOLER AS AN ENGINE FIRE COULD OCCUR. WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL NEARLY 4 MONTHS AGO AND YET JEEP SAYS THERE ARE STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO DO IT. CAN YOU GET ON THEIR CASE TO GET THIS DONE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND OIL HAD LEAKED UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PLASTIC OIL FILTER HOUSING HAD FAILED CAUSING AN OIL LEAK AND THE OIL FILTER HOUSING GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.*JB

CYLINDER HEAD MISFIRE #2 AND SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT. I HAD TAKEN IT IN TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC HE SAID THE HEAD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL AND EXTENDED WARRANTY OUT NOW WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT OUR JEEP IS NOT ON THE VIN LIST (PENTASTAR TIC) IS WHAT OUR MECHANIC CALLED IT.

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 3.6L -67K MILES. CRACKED OIL FILTER HOUSING. NOTICED A SMALL OIL LEAK FALL 2020 ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AFTER OIL CHANGE FROM LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. LATE WINTER 2021 NOTICED THE LEAK WAS BIGGER ON GARAGE FLOOR. CHECKED UNDER CAR AROUND OIL PAN. OIL PAN NUT AREA WAS CLEAN OF OIL, BUT OIL WAS DRIPPING DOWN ENGINE AND OVER EXHAUST AND ONTO THE TRANSMISSION. NOTICED OIL PUDDLING INSIDE TRANSMISSION SKID PLATE. LOOKED ONLINE FOR CAUSES AND FOUND THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS KNOWN TO CRACK ON THESE ENGINES. I LOCATED MY OIL FILTER NEAR THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND FOUND OIL ALL AROUND THE BASE OF THE HOUSING. THE FILTER NECK WAS CLEAN OF OIL, JUST A POOL OF OIL AT THE BASE OF THE NECK!! LOOKED UP CHRYSLER RECALLS AND NOTHING REPORTED FOR THIS PART. BUT DID FIND MANY SAME ENGINE OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME PROBLEM! READ MANY ARTICLES ABOUT THIS PRODUCT BEING MADE OF PLASTIC AND FAILING. ALL OF MY OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN FROM THE SAME LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. DID THEY CAUSE THIS BY OVER TIGHTENING OIL FILTER? OR IS THIS TRULY A DEFECT PRODUCT AND CHRYSLER IS WAITING FOR A VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE OR A DEATH BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED? ARE VEHICLE ENGINE FIRES CAUSED BY OIL LEAKING ONTO EXTREMELY HOT ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/EXHAUST PARTS??

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR FAILED MAKING THE SEAT BELT NOT USEABLE AND CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. CANNOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND ATTACHED TO THE MOTOR. HIGH FAILURE RATE AS EVIDENCED BY THE 40,000 PART BACKORDER STATUS OF THE PART. CAUSES MODERATE TO SEVERE OIL LEAK WHEN CRACKED, AND ENGINE FAILURE IF IT BREAKS COMPLETELY. LEAVES AN OILY MESS WHEREVER IT IS PARKED. OIL WILL BLOW BACK ONTO OTHER VEHICLES AND VEHICLE WILL BE STALL AND BE STRANDED WHEN MOTOR LOCKS UP DUE TO NO OIL. $600+ REPAIR COSTS. AFFECTS SOME DODGE, JEEP, AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES. UNABLE TO REPAIR STALLED VEHICLES BECAUSE PART IS UNAVAILABLE. EST WAIT TIME IS OVER A MONTH. PART NUMBER IS 68105583AF. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THE COMPANY NOT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PUTTING A PLASTIC CONNECTOR INSIDE AN ENGINE HOUSING. IT'S COMMON SENSE. I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON A BUSY ROAD AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I PERSONALLY KNOW OF TWO OTHERS ALSO. OUR VEHICLES ARE USELESS BECAUSE OF THIS. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, DEALERS ARE NOW OVERCHARGING FOR THE PART. NORMALLY $199, NOW CHARGING OVER $300.
