2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. NO ONE WAS HURT. IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC PIECES CLAMPED ON TO THE METAL BAR THAT WAS HOLDING THE HEADREST CLOSED BROKE, CAUSING THE HEADREST TO OPEN. I NOTIFIED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY TOLD ME SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME CONCERNING MY CASE AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT CALL AT THIS TIME.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN PARK, IN A PARKING LOT, AND NO COLLISION OCCURRED. DRIVER, FRONT PASSENGER, AND TWO REAR SEAT PASSENGERS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. FRONT PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING STRIKING FRONT PASSENGER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. VEHICLE MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE ACCOUNTS OF THE ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYING WITHOUT A VEHICLE COLLISION DUE TO LESS THAN ADEQUATE RELIABILITY OF PARTS WITHIN THE ACTIVE HEADREST ASSEMBLY. I AM REQUESTING REPLACEMENT THROUGH LOCAL DEALERSHIP; INITIAL FEEDBACK IS THE PART IS NOT COVERED AND I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. EVEN WITH A REPLACEMENT-IN-KIND ACTIVE HEADREST, THE EXPECTED RELIABILITY IS SUSPECT. THE OEM DESIGN SHOULD BE REVISITED TO ENSURE SAFE AND RELIABLE OPERATIONS.

WHILE IN MOTION IN HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2015 BEGAN TO STALL AND SUDDENLY TURNED OFF . THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCLERATE ONCE I TURNED IT ON AND I COULDN'T CHANGE GEARS. AS THIS OCCURED I BEGAN TO LOSE CONTROL AND NEARLY CRASHED INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT AS THIS HAS OCCURED SEVERAAL TIMES EACH RESULTING IN NEAR FATAL COLLISIONS. I HAVE REACHED OUT SEVERAL TIME TO THE JEEP DEALERS WHO HAVE ALREADY FIXED THE SO CALLED PROBLEM 3 TIMES AND KEEP TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK.

THE PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED ON ITS OWN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AS I APPROACH THE STOP LIGHT. LUCKILY MY SON DID NOT SUFFER ANY INJURIES. IF IT HAD BEEN IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, IT WOULD OF CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DRIFT BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (ANTIOCH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ADDRESS: 105 IL-173, ANTIOCH, IL 60002 PHONE: (847) 395-0200) WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE'S SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SHIFTER WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL COVERED BY A TWO YEAR WARRANTY IN THE PAST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

RECALL# W58 THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX FOR THIS. OUR CAR STOPPED, WILL NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER WHICH IS WHERE WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. EVEN IF THERE'S NO FIX, SHOULDN'T WE THE CONSUMER BEEN NOTIFIED OF A RECALL THAT POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE? I HAVE NO VEHICLE, WITH NO FIX AND THE CHRYSLER REFUSES TO PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE. OUR CONTACTS WITH CHRYSLER HAVE YIELDED NOTHING BUT A PROMISE FOR A CASE MANAGER TO CALL. NOTHING. NO VEHICLE, NO FIX, NO LOANER.

THE ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND NOT INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THE PLASTIC PART HOLDING THE ACTIVE HEADREST IN ITS NORMAL POSITION FAILED, RESULTING IN A PREMATURE UNPROVOKED DEPLOYMENT. IF I HAD BEEN IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AT THE TIME I WOULD HAVE BEN HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. THE IMPACT OF THE HEADREST ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD COULD LEAD TO MOMENTARY LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.

THIS VEHICLE IS UNDRIVEABLE AND IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY'VE INFORMED US THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO A RECALL W58, HOWEVER THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX AVAILABLE. HOW DO WE PROCEED WHEN THE JEEP/CHRYSLER IS UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM?
