2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACKUP CAMERA WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT HAD BEEN TO TWO UNKNOWN DEALERS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE DEALERS PREDICTED THAT THERE MAY BE A RECALL ISSUED IN DECEMBER OF 2019. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT WILL NOT RETRACT, THEREFORE IT WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. WE ARE UNABLE TO HAVE A FRONT PASSENGER BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAVE TRIED TO GET IT TO RETRACT WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVE, ALSO WITH THE JEEP TURNED OFF.

THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING FLASHES ON MY DASHBOARD RANDOMLY BUT DOES NOT AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER READ THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND SAID NO TROUBLE FOUND. "BRING IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN" WAS THEIR BEST ADVICE. THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS - WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE. I HAVE READ ENOUGH ON-LINE COMMENTS TO KNOW THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS. WE NEED YOUR HELP IN HAVING JEEP ISSUE A RECALL TO HAVE THIS COMMON PROBLEM RESOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING DONW A MAIN ROAD THE GAS PEDAL SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD BUT IT WAS STILL RUNNING. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF. TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON TO SEE IF THE GAS PEDAL WOULD RE-ENGAGE, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 100FT AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I THEN "ROLLED" INTO AN EMPTY LOT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE SMOKE WAS NOTICED COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD BUT DID NOT OPEN IT AND CALLED 911. WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH 911, A LOUD POP WAS HEARD UNDER THE HOOD, SPARKS WERE SEEN AND THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE.*DT*JB

MEMORY SEATS NO LONGER WORK, THEREFORE CAUSING MY SEAT TO BE OUT OF WHACK AND I CAN NOT SIT RIGHT. MY ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE A TICKING NOISE OUT OF NOWHERE, MEANING SOMETHING IS WRONG. ONE HEADLIGHT IS OUT BUT ISN'T AND CAUSES MY BRIGHT TO BE ON AT ALL TIMES. WHEN USING MY LIGHT I NOW CANNOT USE MY ACTUAL BRIGHTS. *PM

MY PASSENGER SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST POPPED OPEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE PARKED. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO ONE SITTING THERE AT THE TIME. I'VE READ STORIES FROM A LOT OF OTHER JEEP AND CHRYSLER OWNERS THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT TO FORCE A RECALL. AT BEST, THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX WHICH REALLY SHOULD BE THE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY. AT WORST, IT CAN KNOCK SOMEONE OUT WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT.

WE HAD OUR 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WORKED ON TO REPAIR THE ISSUES PER NHTSA RECALL # 16V-240. RECENTLY, THE JEEP ALERTED ME AS I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APPROX. 35 MPH THAT THE "AUTOPARK HAS BEEN DISABLED." MY DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS RECALL/SOFTWARE UPDATE HAS FAILED AND RENDERED THE "ADDITIONAL MECHANISM TO MITIGATE THE EFFECT OF OPERATOR ERROR IN FAILING TO SHIFT THE MONOSTABLE GEAR SELECTOR INTO PARK PRIOR TO EXITING THE VEHICLE" CURRENTLY USELESS.

COMING OUT OF A TUNNEL, WET SURFACE, SLIGHT TURN, AND THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM KNOWN AS TRACTION CONTROL LOCKED BRAKES AND STEERING UP ON IT'S OWN CAUSING CAR TO HYDRO PLANE INTO A CURB AND A WALL. I HAD NO CONTROL BUT IF I DID I COULD HAVE CONTROLLED THE CAR AND PREVENT THE CRASH.

THE POWER STEERING RACK HAS A SLIGHT LEAK, WHICH WAS DISCOVERED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RACK AND PINION STEERING ASSEMBLY WAS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND THAT MY POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR WAS NEARLY EMPTY. MY CAR HAS 80K MILES ON IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAIN AMONGST OWNERS OF MY MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE.
