2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

JEEP SHIFTS DOWN TO FIRST GEAR AUTOMATICALLY FROM HIGHER SPEEDS 30 TO 50 MPH WITHOUT WARNING,RACING ENGINE ERRATICALLY @ HIGH RPMS THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES IN THE YEAR WE HAVE OWNED IT. 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE TRIED TO FIND ROOT CAUSE WITH NO ANSWER WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FILED A STAR CASE WITH CHRYSLER STARTED BETWEEN 10K MILES TO CURRENT 33K

I WENT IN TO HAVE A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND FOUND OUT THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY RACK AND PINION. MY JEEP IS A 2015 GRAND CHEROKEE WITH LESS THAN 45,000 MILES. THE PRIMARY USE OF THE VEHICLE IS JUST GETTING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF OF A PAVED ROAD. THIS IS NOT A FAILURE THAT SHOULD BE INCURRED THIS EARLY ON IN THE JEEPS LIFE WITH AN OWNER THAT IS ONLY DRIVING IT CASUALLY.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT BY JEEP SERVICE CENTERS TWICE. THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. DURING ONE DRIVE, THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON BUT ALSO, THE COMPLETE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER AND ENGINE INDICATORS ALL WHEN BLACK AND ENGINE STARTED TO SLOW. WITHIN ABOUT 20 SEC, IT WOULD RECOVER. THIS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER A ONE HOUR DRIVE.

THE VEHICLE ENGINE HAD A CLICKING/TICKING NOISE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. WE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP WITH THE SERVICE DEPT AND WERE TOLD IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. WHILE DRIVING HOME 1 NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HESITATE/STUTTER AND WE HAD A PROBLEM ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING. WE DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 20 MILES AT 40 MPH WITH THE HAZARDS ON I95. WE FOUND OUT FROM SERVICE THE NEXT DAY THAT THE ISSUE WAS A DAMAGED CAMSHAFT DUE TO A FAILED ROCKER ARM. ALL ROCKERS AND LIFTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE VALVE COVER GASKETS AND INTAKE SEALS. SINCE THE ISSUE OCCURED OUT OF WARRANTY I WAS STUCK WITH FOOTING THE WHOLE 1961.49 BILL EVEN THOUGH I BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP WITH SERVICE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY.

MY CAR GOES FROM DRIVE, TO PARK, TO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE WITH LITTLE TO NO TOUCH OF THE GEAR SHIFTER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS RECENTLY ASSUMING I WAS STILL IN DRIVE MODE, NOTED THAT THE GEAR HAD ACTUALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. HAD IT SHIFTED TO REVERSE INSTEAD, MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT, LIKELY FOUND TO BE AT FAULT, CONSEQUENTLY ALSO FACING FINANCIAL ANGUISH. ALSO, THE GEAR SHIFTS WHILE IN MOTION, WHICH IS EVEN ADDITIONALLY DANGEROUS BEING THAT I LIVE IN A CITY WHERE THE HIGHWAY IS MY PRIMARY METHOD OF TRAVELING.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST SAFETY FEATURE DEPLOYED AT LOW SPEED. I WAS BACKING UP IN FRONT OF NEIGHBOR HOME ON CUL DE SAC.NOT INVOLVED IN ANY COLLISION OR IMPACT. THIS IS ON A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

CONTINUAL ENGINE PROBLEM LIGHT DUE TO EGR SENSOR FOULED. HAVE HAD IT SERVICED NUMEROUS TIMES. CAUSES ACCELERATION ISSUES AND SHIFTING ISSUES. VEHICLE ACCELERATION CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE IN TRAFFIC WHILE MOVING AND WHEN TRYING TO ENTER TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THERE WAS A RECALL COMING IN FEBRUARY, BUT NOW THEY SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF A RECALL. I AM HESITANT TO TRAVEL AND HAVE THE VEHICLE BREAK DOWN. I AM ATTACHING 5 OF THE REPAIRS THAT I CAN FIND, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MORE FOR THE SAME REASON, AND 1 ADDITIONAL SINCE I HAVE AN APPT ON 2/18/2020 TO FIX IT IN PREPARATION FOR A TRIP FROM NY TO FL.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED HITTING HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT SHE HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HIT HER IN THE HEAD.
