2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I WAS LOADING MY BOAT ON THE TRAILER AND WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR REALIZED THEY HAD POPPED WHILE IT WAS PARKED. IT IS NOT COMFORTABLE RIDING WITH HEADRESTS POPPED AND WE ARE CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY IF WE WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST TRIM VISIBLY DETACHED FROM BACKSIDE. NOTICED WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. FIRST, NOTICED TETHER HANGING OUT FROM THE TOP. THEN, WITH A FLASHLIGHT, I LOOKED INTO THE INSIDE AND SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE PLASTIC BRACKETS BROKEN FROM THE METAL ANCHOR POINT ON TOP. I ASKED MY WIFE (HER VEHICLE) IF SHE WAS IN ANY ACCIDENT AND SHE SAID NO. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS ACTIVE HEAD REST (AHR) TRIM IS SUPPOSED TO COMPRESS A SPRING AND CLIP ONTO METAL ANCHOR. BUT THIS PLASTIC IS SHEARED OFF. OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT COMMENCING FOR THIS ISSUE. MY WIFE NOW CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE HER VEHICLE DUE TO HEADREST SPONTANEOUS FAILURE. HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO USE HER VEHICLE?

OIL FILTER AND COOLER HOUSING LEAKING. CAR HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES AND IN 6 YEARS OLD. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 3.6L ENGINE IN THESE CARS AND CAN LEAD TO A FIRE OR LOSS OF ENGINE OIL RESULTING IN ENGINE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY ANY MOTION OF THE VEHICLE BUT JUST BY THE HEAT OF THE ENGINE WARPING THE PLASTIC PART AND CAUSING THE SEALS TO LEAK.

I HAVE BEEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AT A NORMAL SPEED 55 AND IT DOWN SHIFTS TO A LOWER GEAR ON ITS OWN.THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT OUT IS TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART. I HAVE PUT VERY FEW MILES ON THIS JEEP SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THIS HAPPENED THE LAST TIME I DROVE IT AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS JUST GOING DOWN THE MAIN ROADS AND I AM GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE NOT DROVE IT AGIAN BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

I LEFT MY PLACE OF WORK AND WHEN I WENT TO USE MY BRAKES THEY DIDN'T FULLY WORK. I BARELY GOT STOPPED IN TIME TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE SPUTTERED AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE DOWN. I GOT IT LOOKED AT AND THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE BOOSTER. ALL WAS WELL AFTER THAT. THE PICTURE ATTACHED IS WAS I BOUGHT TO FIX MY CAR.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN 2014, I HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AS THE HEADLIGHTS, EVEN ON BRIGHT ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO DRIVE. I MUST USE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS THE ENTIRE TIME WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER WHENEVER I HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR IN. I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. I WAS CONSIDERING PURCHASING ANOTHER JEEP, BUT I'M AFRAID THIS PROBLEM WILL ON ANY OTHER ONE I MAY BUY. IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, I WANT TO BE ON RECORD ABOUT THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE.

LIFTERS EXTREMELY NOISY. LOSS OF POWER. DEALER STATES THEY ARE FINE. WERE REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY, 2 YEARS LATER SAME PROBLEM. DEALER TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.

WHEN I WENT TO THE GAS STATION ON RT. 130 IN BURLINGTON, THE ATTENDANT TOLD ME MY GAS CAP WAS BROKEN. I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND AND THOUGHT HE MEANT THE GAS DOOR SINCE IT IS SOMETIMES HARD TO GET OPEN. I CHECK THIS MORNING TO SEE WHAT HE MEANT AND MY GAS CAP WAS LAYING IN THE BEHIND THE GAS DOOR. I HAVE A CAPLESS SYSTEM. NO NEED TO TWIST. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT BROKE. I CAN ONLY SAY THE ATTENDANCE TOLD ME IT WAS BROKEN BEFORE HE FILLED UP MY TANK.

EL VEHCULO ESTABA EN MARCHA Y ENCENDI EL CHECK ENGINE Y SE PUSO EN NEUTRAL SOLO Y NO CORRA HACIA ALANTE,LUEGO TAMBIN ENCENDIERON MS LUCES DE TABLERO Y UN CARTEL QUE DICE SERVICE SHIFTER.ESTO PASO EN UN SEMFORO DE UNA CALLE SECUNDARIA *DT*JB

I WAS COMING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE TRUCK JERKED FORWARD. THE TRUCK WAS SLOW GOING INTO FIRST GEAR AND WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. TRUCK HAS 86,000 MIKES ON IT AND HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSIONS FOR JEEPS AS THE MANUFACTURER HAS THEM ON BACK ORDER.
