2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT IS LOCKED IN PLACE AND WONT EXTEND OR RETRACT. APPEARS THAT A PLASTIC PIECE THAT HELPS GUIDE THE SEATBELT HAS CRACKED AND IT NOT ALLOWING THE SEAT BELT TO MOVE FREELY.

FRONT RIGHT SEAT BELT DOESN'T RETRACT. PLASTIC D-RING (GUIDE AT B-PILLAR) CRACKED. THIS IS RUBBING THE SEAT BELT AND PREVENTING IT FROM RETRACTING AS NORMAL.

HELLO, MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR EMISSIONS AND DRIVE TRAIN. DUE THE NUMBER OF MODIFICATIONS BY JEEP, MY VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED TO A POINT THAT SOMETIMES IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. EVERY SOFTWARE UPDATE RESULTS IN LOWER MILEAGE AND SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE. NOW JEEP IS SLOW ROLLING EGR RECALL AND LETTING A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO DEVELOP.

EGR FAILURE, EGR IS THE SAME THAT IS IN THE RAMS THAT HAS BEEN RECALL FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS. PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE JEEPS, BUT ARE THE SAME EGRS THAT GO ON THE RAMS. EGR IS FAILING ON THESE VEHICLES ARE CREATING ENGINE FIRES WITH NO WARNING

CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL FOR THE EGR COOLER ON THE DODGE RAM ECODIESEL (VB1/NHTSA 19V-757) THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE AND EGR COOLER AS THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF GRAND CHEROKEE 3.0 ECODIESEL VEHICLES CATCHING FIRE AND BURNING TO THE GROUND. JEEP CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE OR PARTS FOR IT, YET WE ARE STILL ALLOWED TO DRIVE AROUND IN OUR VEHICLES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING, IN PARK, ON A SLIGHT INCLINED DRIVEWAY, ROLLED BACKWARDS UNTIL FOOT BREAK WAS ENGAGED. ONLY MADE LESS THAN 1 FOOT BEFORE OPERATOR INTERVENTION. REMOVED FOOT FROM MANUAL BREAK, APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES LATER, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS AGAIN WHILE IN CONFIRMED PARK. AGAIN, LESS THAN 1 FOOT BEFORE OPERATOR INTERVENTION. NOTE: A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF SNOW/ICE WAS PRESENT ON THE DRIVE, HOWEVER BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE WHEELS WERE FREE OF SNOW/ICE DURING THE OCCURANCE, VEHICLE IS 4WD. I HAVE NOT PARKED ON AN INCLINE SINCE THE OCCURANCE.

I HAVE TOOK MY VEHICLE FOR A SHIFTER RECALL. THEY DID A PROGRAMMING THEY SAID AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I EXPLAINED TO CHRYSLER CAPITAL ABOUT HOW MY VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AFTER THROWING ITSELF INTO OTHER GEARS. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. NOW MY VEHICLE HARDLY DRIVES AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD CRACKING NOISE. THIS RECALL MADE MY TRANSMISSION GO OUT.

FROM STOP TO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR THE TRANSMISSION HAS A KNOCK WHEN ON HILL OR EVEN FLAT GROUND WHEN ACCELERATION IS APPLIED. AFTER 2ND GEAR THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING, MAINLY LOW SPEEDS. JEEP DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED AND STATED TRANSFER CASE NEEDS REPLACED.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT. WHEN I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST WAS HANGING DOWN. I TOOK A LOOK AND NOTICED TWO PLASTIC PIECES WERE BROKEN. I DID A QUICK SEARCH TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND FOUND THAT EVERY GRAND CHEROKEE FORUM PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION, ADDITIONALLY I HAVEN'T ADJUSTED MY HEADREST IN YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT THE PIECES ARE FAILING ON THE ACTIVE HEADREST.
