2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE FAN FOR HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING SUDDENLY QUITS WORKING. THE FAN MOTOR MAKES A ROARING NOISE. THE WIPERS WILL ONLY WORK ON HIGH. OUR JEEP ONLY HAS 60K. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD AN OIL LEAK AND HAD TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CODE SAYS IT'S AN EXHAUST LEAK. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE OVER ALL QUALITY.

MY JEEP IS EQUIPPED WITH A PANORAMIC SUNROOF. UNDERNEATH THE HEADLINER, YOU CAN HEAR A TAPPING NOICE WHILE DRIVING ON UNEVEN SURFACES. THIS NOISE IS PRESENT EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON PAVED ROADS THAT HAVE SMALL BUMPS OR ROCKS. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A PIECE OF THE PLASTIC OR METAL TRACK IS LOOSE, CAUSING IT TO TAP THE METAL BODY OR THE GLASS OF THE ROOF. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CONCERNS THAT MATCH THIS DESCRIPTION WHEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON JEEP THREADS AND BLOGS. IN ADDING, AFTER I CALLED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT REGARDING THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF.

ENGINE COOLANT LEAK. HAD TO REPLACE THE TURBO WATER FEED TUBE LOCATED UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE TUBE HAS APPROXIMATE 3" RUBBER LINE WHICH IS EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES AND OVER TIME FAILS, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. REPAIR COST OF $1101.72. AFTER REPLACING THE HOSE AND COMPLETING THE REPAIR, I STILL HAD A COOLANT LEAK. THIS TIME IT APPEARED TO BE THE WATER PUMP. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET THE PURCHASE THE PUMP AND THERE WAS A MECHANIC NOTE STATING TO CHECK THE WATER PUMP SEALS AS IT IS KNOWN TO HAVE A PINCHED SEAL WHICH CAUSES LEAKAGE. TO REPLACE THE SEALS, THE MECHANIC HAS TO REMOVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THE COVERS IN FRONT OF THE WATER PUMP BEFORE THE PUMP CAN BE REMOVED (LABOR INTENSIVE). UP UNTIL I HAD THE VO8 RECALL I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS. I ALSO RECENTLY HAD A SERVICE DEF SYSTEM ALERT. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE MECHANIC HE STATED ARE YOU HAVING COOLANT LEAKAGE AND I SAID YES. THE MECHANIC SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR TURBO IS ABOUT TO FAIL. THIS IS WHEN I IDENTIFIED THERE IS A VO1 RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING THE HEADREST HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN THEREFORE WAS QUICKLY ABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED. I DROVE IT HOME TO SHOW MY HUSBAND & HE SAID THERE WAS AN AIR BAG THAT HAD DEPLOYED. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ANY FASTER I COULD HAVE VERY WELL WRECKED MY CAR, AS I THOUGHT AT 1ST SOMEONE WAS IN MY BACK SEAT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A RECALL ON THE HEADREST BUT HAVE SEEN RECALLS ON EARLIER YEARS. PLEASE ADVICE ME WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SURELY WILL REPLACE THE HEADREST? THANK YOU

THE ACTIVE HEAD REST ON THE PASSENGER CARE DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR COLLISION AS THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN ANY COLLISIONS OR REPAIR. WENT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT HAS A REPAIR CENTER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ITEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY WHICH I PURCHASED AND WILL EXPIRE IN MARCH 2020. MY VEHICLE HAS 45K MILES AND IS A 2015 MODEL YEAR. LOOKING AT FORUMS THE ACTIVE HEAD REST ON SIMILAR VINTAGE VEHICLES ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND ARE INDICATED TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT WHEN A PLASTIC BRACKET FAILS COMPROMISING THE FUNCTION OF THE ACTIVE HEAD REST. CURRENTLY THE HEAD REST REMAINS DEPLOYED AND I AVOID SITTING ANYBODY ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE LINK BELOW IS NOT FROM MY VEHICLE BUT THE DEPLOYED HEAD REST ON MY VEHICLE LOOKS THE SAME.

ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. NO REAR COLLISION OR OTHER ACCIDENT OCCURRED. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THE "TABS" BROKE OFF AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE RESET. QUOTED ME $816 TO REPLACE THE HEADREST. SEEMS EXORBITANT. AND SOMETHING THAT, AS A SAFETY COMPONENT, SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL (VOLUNTARY OR OTHERWISE) TO BE FIXED.*DT CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED.*JB

GOOD MORNING, I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY WHEN SUDDENLY I WAS STRUCK EXTREMELY HARD ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD. SO HARD THAT I THOUGHT I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. MY HEAD AND NECK WERE HURTING FOR A WHILE, WHEN I PARKED MY VEHICLE I REALIZED THAT MY HEADREST HAD POPPED OUT. NOT SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED BUT WHEN I WENT TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM I NOTICED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT AHR RANDOMLY BREAKING AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND HOW HARD I GOT HIT I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERNS AND AN UNSAFE CONDITION. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER THIS NOR WAS THEIR ANY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I DUG A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THIS MATTER AS I SAW HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE WERE AND SAW THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS A HISTORY SHOULD AT LEAST CAUSE AN INVESTIGATION. WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER AND HAVE A NICE DAY.

THE FRONT TWO SEAT BELTS IN MY VEHICLE DO NOT RETRACT BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION. THIS IS AT ALL TIMES, ONLY SOLUTION IS TO FEED THE BELT BACK INTO THE RETRACTOR BY HAND TO LET IT REEL IN. DEALER SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

ONE MORNING AS I GOT INTO MY JEEP TO DRIVE TO WORK, I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST HAD POPPED OPEN, SEEMINGLY OVERNIGHT. I DID NOT WITNESS THIS HAPPENING - I JUST NOTICED THE END RESULT. I HAVE TRIED TO "CLOSE" IT BUT I AM UNABLE TO DO SO.

MY WIFE PARKED JEEP IN DRIVEWAY PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK AND IT ROLLED AWAY 2 MINUTES LATER.
