2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY HEADREST AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. IT SMACKED ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. THERE WAS NO IMPACT FROM MY VEHICLE HITTING ANYTHING & NO SUDDEN BRAKING. IT POPPED AND SMACKED ME IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD. I WAS ON MY CELL PHONE AT THE TIME BUT IT WAS SITTING IN MY CUP HOLDER & I WAS USING MY AIRPODS. *TR*DT CONSUMER STATED HE HAS A STIFF NECK AND MAYBE A CONCUSSION BUT DID NOT SEE A DOCTOR. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED.*JB

HEADREST SAFETY (AHR) DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND HIT MY PASSENGER'S HEAD WITH VIOLENCE. I ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE NOISE OF THE HEADREST DEPLOYMENT WAS LOUD AND I THOUGHT THAT SOMEONE HIT MY CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AS A CONSEQUENCE I MOVED TO THE OPPOSITE LANE AND ALMOST HIT AN UPCOMING VEHICLE. AFTER A GOOGLE SEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL AND MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND FCA SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THIS DEFECTIVE SYSTEM.

2015 GRAND CHEROKEE ALTITUDE- 3.6L. JUST HIT 95000 MILES AND SUDDENLY CAR CONTINUES TO UP SHIFT TO 8TH GEAR EVEN AT LOWER SPEEDS. WHEN ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED, CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT BUT WITH NO ACCELERATION DEPRESSED, CAR WILL MOVE ALL THE WAY TO 8TH. DOWNHILL, TRANS WON'T SHIFT BEYOND 3RD GEAR LIKELY TO ENGINE BRAKING ONLY. THIS IS MY 5TH JEEP AND MY 4TH TIME DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE ACROSS MY JEEPS.

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT, IT STOPPED WORKING FOR NO REASON.. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WILL COST OVER $500.00 TO REPAIR. I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO REPAIR IT, THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, THIS CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS SITTING IN THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AND WAS ABOUT TO START THE CAR AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE DRIVER HEADREST SUDDENLY POPPED OPEN. IT SMACKED ME IN THE HEAD. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR NOTHING UNUSUAL TO CAUSE IT TO HAPPEN. I AM HOPING THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT GETS FIXED, IT WAS NOT MY FAULT AT ALL. THANK YOU. *TR

AT ALL TIMES, THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT. VERY UNSAFE! THE BELT HAS TO MUCH SLACK AFTER I HAVE CLICKED IT IN PLACE. I HAVE TRIED WASHING/CLEANING THE BELT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. DEALERSHIP STATES IT WILL COST ME $500-$750, AND THAT MY WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE COST! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH THE ACTIVE SAFETY HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED, SLAMMING THE BACK OF MY HEAD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BUT STUNNED AND THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HIGH-SPEED COLLISION. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR NO TRIGGERING EVENT TO THIS. A PRELIMINARY CALL TO A DEALERSHIP INDICATES THIS IS "SOMEWHAT COMMON" AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AT OVER $700 FOR REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN CLEAR MANUFACTURING DEFECT ON A FEATURE THAT CAN DIRECTLY CAUSE INJURY OR RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. LIKE AN AIRBAG, THIS DEVICE SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL FOR RANDOM DEPLOYMENTS. *TR

THE ACTIVE HEAD REST WENT OFF WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT (PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY). THE PASSENGER SEAT HEAD REST POPPED OUT IN 2019 AND HAD TO BE FIXED (WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND JEEP WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME DUE TO THE 4 YEAR OLD CAR BEING "TOO OLD") AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE POPPED OUT THIS WEEKEND (APRIL 11, 2020). WE CANNOT RESET IT AS THERE IS A TINY PLASTIC PIECE THAT BROKE OFF AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN (APPROXIMATELY A $600 REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP).

OUR 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING STALLING ISSUES SINCE OCTOBER 2019. WE HAVE NOW HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO EARNHARDT CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM IN GILBERT, ARIZONA FOR A TOTAL OF 10 TIME AND 70 DAYS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE JEEP STALLS WHEN BRAKING AND SLOWING DOWN WHICH MEANS YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE DRIVER MUST BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHIFT INTO "PARK", AND THEN TRY TO START THE VEHICLE. WHILE THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ON SURFACE ROADS, THE STALLING POSES A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. WE NEED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED.

OUR 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECO DIESEL STALLS WHEN SLOWING. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR JEEP EARNHARDT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM SERVICE CENTER 10 TIMES AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IT CREATES A SEVERE SAFETY SITUATION. WHEN THE JEEP STALLS YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND THE ENGINE IS DEAD. ONE MUST BRAKE, SHIFT INTO PARK, AND TRY TO START THE ENGINE WHILE PUTTING ON YOUR EMERGENCY FLASHERS. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE DOES NOT START THE FIRST TIME. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPED ON SURFACE STREETS SO FAR. THE JEEP WARRANTY CASE NUMBER IS 76048098. ALL OF THE SERVICE VISITS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED.
