2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE FORWARD COLLISIN CONTROL WAS TURNED ON. IT STARTED BEEPING WHEN NO ONE WAS NEAR ME AT ALL FROM ANY SIDE OF VEHICLE. THEN THE BRAKES SLAMMED LIKE IT WAS PREVENTING A REAR END COLLISIN BY MY VEHICLE. MY CAR SLID TO A STOP AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AN HOUR. IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME AND I HAVE HAD THAT SAFETY SENSOR OPTION TURNED TO OFF EVER SINCE THIS INCIDENT.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AND THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND DEPLOYED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN REAR-ENDED/HAD MY CAR IN AN ACCIDENT, SO IT WOULD MAKE NO SENSE FOR THE HEADREST TO DEPLOY. MY CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE DEPLOYMENT.

I WAS IN THE CAR PARKED AND OUT OF NOTHING THE HEADREST POPPED AND HIT MY HEAD. I TRIED TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS , BUT THERE WAS NO WAY OF PUTTING IT BACK IN.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT STOPPED RETRACTING. MADE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT COVERS THE ATTACHMENT IS BROKEN IN SEVERAL PLACES AND PINCHES THE SEAT BELT. THE ENTIRE UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS APPEARS TO BE KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP AND SHOULD PART OF A SAFETY RECALL. I WAS ON A PARKING LOT WHEN THE SEAT BELT STOPPED RETRACTING. THE COST TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS $783.42.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT SUDDENTLY WOULD NOT RETRACT, EVEN WHILE FEEDING IT BY HAND BACK INTO THE SPOOL. WE FOUND THAT THE SLOT IN THE B PILLAR, THROUGH WHICH THE SEAT BELT RETRACTS, IS CRACKED. THIS HAS CAUSED THE SEAT BELT TO BE PINCHED. IF A SMALL SCREWDRIVER IS USED TO PRY OPEN THE SLOT, THE SEAT BELT RETRACTS. A SEAT BELT NOT RETRACTING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A WARRANTEE REPAIR OR SUBJECT TO A RECALL, NEITHER OF WHICH SEEM TO APPLY.

HARD SHIFTING IN LOW HEATS AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE THE MY JEEP HESITATES BEFORE IT ACCELERATES AND STARTS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AGAIN. KEEP DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPLACED TRANSMISSION 2 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ALSO HAVE SOME MULTIPLE SOFTWARE UPDATES AND ISSUE STILL PERSISTS.

WHILE DRING IN MY HOMETOWN AT ABOUT 30 MPH THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND I NOTICED SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAUSE WAS LATER DETERMINED TO BE A HYDRAULIC FILLED MOTOR MOUNT BREAKING ON DRIVERS SIDE AND LANDING ON EXHAUST PIPE.

THE HEADREST ON THE SEAT, WHILE SITTING IN CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY IT BROKE LOOSE AT THE PIN AND HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD.THE PIN REMAINED LOCKED IN AND BURST OUT AT AREA THAT HOLDS IT IN.

MY JEEP WAS SITTING UNDER MY CARPORT AND WHEN I WENT TO GET INTO IT THE HEADREST HAD POPPED OPEN. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPEN UNTIL I GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM.

WHILE MY CAR WAS SITTING IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF WILMINGTON, NC THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO CONTACT MADE TO MY VEHICLE, THE HEADREST JUST EXPLODED AND SPRUNG FORWARD. NOBODY WAS INJURED. UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME AND GOOGLED WHAT HAPPENED I DIDN'T REALIZE THE HEADREST ACTED AS AN AIRBAG OR THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.
