2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE VEHICLE HANGS IN PARK. IT WILL LET YOU MOVE THE SHIFTER BUT IT STAYS IN PARK. ON THE DASH IT SHOWS VEHICLE IN DESIRED GEAR. THERE IS A BOX IN THE REAR OF THE CONSOLE THAT YOU CAN OPEN AND USING A KEY PUSH IN A BAR AND SOMETIMES IT WILL COME OUT OF PARK AND LET YOU SHIFT TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. IT HAS HUNG 6-7 TIMES AND HAS COST ME $75 EACH TIME TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. EACH TIME THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THEY DONT CHECK ANYTHING. THERE HAS TO .BE SOMETHING IN THE SHIFTER OR TRANSMISSION. I HAVE DRIVEN JEEPS SINCE 1993 AND THIS IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I'VE HAD. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE JEEP EXCEPT LOCALLY. I DONT KNOW IF IT RESETS OR WHATEVER WHEN THEY LOAD IT ON THE TOW TRUCK BUT THE MAN THAT DRIVES THE TRUCK SAW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS DOING. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND I WANT IT FIXED. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF MY PROBLEM.

YESTERDAY (11/24/2019) WHEN MY ADULT DAUGHTER ENTERED MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, JUST AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR AND FASTENING HER SEAT BELT, THE HEADREST BURST AND HIT HER IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD/NECK. SHE HAD COMPLAINED OF DISCOMFORT AFTER THE INCIDENT, SO WE WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON HER TO CONFIRM SHE DIDN'T SUFFER A CONCUSSION. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AND NOTHING HAD OCCURRED TO CAUSE THE HEADREST TO REACT.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN CRASH

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE ON MORNING WHILE I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE. SO, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT I COULD GET A FREE DIAGNOSTIC TEST FROM ONE OF THE AUTO STORES. I WENT TO O'REILLY'S, WHICH IS A STORE THAT SELL AUTO SUPPLIES & PARTS, AND THEY DIAGNOSED A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL RELAY. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS TO DO THE REPAIR. I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON RECORD IN CASE THIS VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURED YEAR NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL.

I HAVE THE 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL THAT RECEIVED THE EMISSIONS UPDATE REQUIRED BY THE EPA DIESEL SETTLEMENT WHICH CHRYSLER FCA. I NOTICED SUBSTANTIAL LAG PROBLEMS THE INSTANT I PULLED OUT ONTO THE OPEN ROAD AFTER THE UPDATE FROM BONNEVILLE JEEP IN MANCHESTER NH. THE VEHICLE IS DEAD OFF THE LINE AND THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND TURBO LAG AT ALL SPEEDS. YOU END UP GIVING MORE THROTTLE THAN YOU WANT BECAUSE THE RESPONSE IS SO DELAYED, AND THEN YOU GET A MASSIVE SURGE OF FULL THROTTLE WHICH CAN BE UNSETTLING AND MAKE THE VEHICLE UNSTABLE IN A TURN. VERY SCARY TO RIDE WHEN MY WIFE OR KIDS ARE DRIVING WHO AREN'T USED TO THE ISSUE. PULLING OUT INTO BUSY INTERSECTIONS, EVEN WITH A WARMED UP ENGINE IS A DANGEROUS, WHITE KNUCKLE EXPERIENCE AS THE VEHICLE CRAWLS LIKE A TORTOISE INTO THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS BEFORE THE POWER FINALLY COMES AFTER 2-3 SECONDS.. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SYMPATHETIC BUT SAYS CORPORATE HAS TURNED ITS BACK ON THEIR REPORTS OF COMPLAINTS. I BELIEVE THE SO-CALLED SETTLEMENT DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE VOIDED BY A NEW CLASS ACTION SUIT - THE TERMS OF THE SETTLEMENT AND THEIR AD MATERIALS AND EVEN THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE VOICE RESPONSE RECORDING SAY THAT THERE WILL BE NO LOSS OF POWER, NO IMPACT ON DRIVABILITY OR SMOOTHNESS, AND NO CHANGE IN MILEAGE. ALL OF THESE ARE UNTRUE. THEY HAVE DESTROYED THE DRIVABILITY AND JOY OF OWNING THESE VEHICLES. MORE THAN THAT - THEY HAVE MADE THESE VEHICLES EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WE'VE BEEN SCAMMED. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO BUY BACK THESE VEHICLES. I MAY BE TRADING MINE IN.. MY 3RD AND FINAL JEEP.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE DRIVER HEADREST POPPED OUT OF PLACE AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD. THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE WHILE GOING 70+ MPH. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURIES TO MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP I WAS INSTRUCTED A PART HAD 'BROKE OFF' AND SINCE I WAS OUT OF MY WARRANTY PERIOD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED TO REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADREST ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE POPPED OPEN. THE CONTACT CALLED TOM O'BRIEN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM INDIANAPOLIS (4630 E 96TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46240, (317) 805-4400) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,781.

WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, UNOCCUPIED, AND ENGINE NOT RUNNING, THE ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO COLLISION OR CONTACT WITH ANYTHING TO CAUSE DEPLOYMENT. THE MECHANIZE INTERNAL PARTS THE KEEP THE HEADREST TOGETHER BROKE CAUSING DEPLOYMENT AND NOT ALLOWING THE HEADREST TO BE RESET OR PUT BACK IN PLACE. I HAD TO PUT A BUNGIE CORD AROUND THE HEADREST TO HOLD IT BACK IN PLACE SO I CAN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE DEPLOYED HEADREST PUSHING AGAINST THE BACK ON MY HEAD, WHICH IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THIS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 61800 MILES. MY FACTORY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60000. EVEN THOUGHT THE DEALER IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM FCA WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR WHICH WAS QUOTED AT $900. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED WITH NO DATE AS WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE SAFETY PART PROBLEM WHICH FCA SHOULD BE REQUIRED ISSUE A RECALL.*DT*JB

POWER STEERING RACK LOSES FLUID BETWEEN THE RACK AND THE BOOT. THE RACK HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NOW NEEDS A 3RD REPLACEMENT RACK. LOSS OF POWER STEERING FLUID CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY AND POSES A SAFETY RISK.

THE PASSENGER SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT ON MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DEPLOYED WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE UNOCCUPIED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER - THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND HEADREST AND DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT AND A FAILED LOCKING MECHANISM IS WHAT CAUSED IT TO DEPLOY. THE DEALER AGREED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER ON MY BEHALF FOR A RESOLUTION. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT CHRYSLER AGREED TO PAY FOR HALF THE COST OF THE REPAIR - APPROXIMATELY $350. I AGREED TO PAY THE $350 ONLY IF THEY REPLACED BOTH HEADRESTS WHICH THEY DECLINED. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE HEADREST - HOPING THE SECOND HEADREST DOES NOT FAIL ALSO.
