2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE FRONT SEAT DRIVER SIDE HEADREST HAS PROTRUDED FORWARD. I JUST NOTICED IT YESTERDAY WHEN I DROVE THE JEEP HOME FROM WORK. IT WAS PARKED IN OUR COMPANY PARKING LOT ALL DAY WHILE I WAS AT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WENT TO SCHICKER AUTOMOTIVE GROUP (JEEP DEALER) IN WASHINGTON MISSOURI. THEY TOLD ME I NEED A WHOLE NEW HEADREST. TOTAL COST, PARTS AND LABOR. $771.00

2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 66,500 MILES SUDDENLY HAD SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE IN CONJUNCTION WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING CAR INTO GEAR. ALMOST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS LOCKED UP. THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARED AND WENT INTO GEAR WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I TOOK MY JEEP IN AND NOTHING SHOWED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST CONCERNING SHIFTER, BUT THEY DID FIND PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM. ISSUE WAS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY RE-EXAMINED IT AGAIN AND STILL COULD T FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY JEEP FOR 6 DAYS. I PICKED UP MY JEEP TODAY AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 60-70 MILES THE MESSAGE SERVICE SHIFTER APPEARED FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AS I WAS DRIVING AND THEN DISAPPEARED. I AM EXTREMELY IRRITATED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I INTEND TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMMENTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH 2015, 2016, 2017 AND 2018 MODELS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR RECALL. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AND FIXED PER MANUFACTURER.

PASSENGER HEADREST COMPLETELY CAME APART. THE BACK IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE FRONT AND YOU SEE ALL OF THE INNER COMPONENTS. NO INCIDENT OR SHOCK TO THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THIS. ONE DAY IT WAS FINE, NEXT DAY IT WASN'T.

HEAD REST BLEW APART WITH NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. NO RECALL FOUND RELATED. RESEARCH FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE SPEED OVER 60 MILES IT SHAKES AND IT TREMBLES, AND THE SENSOR DRIVING BEERS OUT OF CONTROL

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT A DANGER CAUSED BY A U-CONNECT (UC) UPDATE NOTICE FOR MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT, UNTIL COMPLETED, THE JEEP'S SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING 911 WERE UNAVAILABLE. A PROGRAMMING GLITCH WOULDN'T ALLOW AN UPDATE TIME TO BE CHOSEN.THE NOTICE CONTINUED TO BLOCK THE SCREEN MAKING IT UNUSABLE. ON 10-3-19, AN HR INTO A 5 HR TRIP, A NOTICE ON THE SCREEN SAID: URGENT UPDATED NEEDS TO BE SCHEDULED/COMPLETED W/IN 24 HOURS BUT, IN MEANTIME, "ESSENTIAL SERVICES" LIKE 911 & BLUETOOTH (& COUPLE OTHERS) AREN'T AVAILABLE. I TRIED TO SET A TIME BUT THE ORIGINAL SCREEN KEPT POPPING BACK UP. I COULD NOT CLEAR THE NOTICE FROM THE SCREEN AND IT BLOCKED BEING ABLE TO USE ANY OF THE SCREEN TABS. COULDN'T EVEN USE UC'S CALL-ASSIST BUTTON ON REARVIEW MIRROR. IN THE GLOVE BOX I FOUND AN ACTUAL # FOR UC & CALLED DIRECTLY. THE WOMAN, HELEN, SAID THERE'D BEEN A "GLITCH" IN THE PROGRAM, THAT I WAS "OUT OF LUCK," SHE WAS SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, THAT SHE HAD OTHER CUSTOMERS TRAVELING & IN SIMILAR PREDICAMENT. INITIALLY SHE SUGGESTED I PULLED OFF THE HWY TO ATTEMPT A SYSTEM RESET (AFTER WHICH THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULDN'T SHUT OFF UNTIL AN EXTRA LONG HOLD OF THE HAZARD BUTTON). WHEN THE RESET DIDN'T WORK, SHE ADVISED THAT WHEN WE GET TO OUR DESTINATION (UNLESS WE FELT UNSAFE WE SHOULD STOP OUR TRIP THEN) TO BE OUT OF THE CAR FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR, TO PICK AN UPDATE TIME W/O ANY ZEROS (APPARENTLY THAT WAS THE "GLITCH") LIKE 11:17. THE CAR HAD TO BE LOCKED IN A CERTAIN PATTERN TO PUT IT IN "SLEEP" MODE. THE ACTUAL KEYS HAD TO BE AT LEAST 25 FEET AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. IF THIS ALL DIDN'T WORK WE'D HAVE TO FIND A DEALER BUT IT DID WORK OVERNIGHT. SO WE DROVE FOR 4 HOURS W/O NAVIGATION, BLUETOOTH OR 911. NOR DID WE HAVE RADIO ACCESS TO HEAR TRAFFIC OR WEATHER REPORTS ALONG OUR ROUTE. IT WAS VERY UNSETTLING TO BE DRIVING IN THE DARK WITHOUT ANY OF THE JEEP'S COMPUTER AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN AROUND MAY OF 2018 AND WORSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP OF PARAMUS (315 ROUTE 4 WEST, PARAMUS, NJ 07652) WHERE THE EMISSION EVAPORATION VENT WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 64723187. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT A CRASH OCCURRED BECAUSE THE BRAKES SEIZED WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE POLICE WAS PRESENT AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AHR - HEADREST BROKEN, LATCH IS CLOSED AND LOCKED POSITION WITH THE STEEL RETAINING ROD STILL CAPTURED IN LOCKING MECHANISM, PLASTIC FEATURES THAT RETAIN STEEL ROD ARE BROKEN, THIS IS NOT A DEPLOYMENT, THIS IS A COMPONENT FAILURE, VEHICLE WAS PARKED, ENGINE NOT RUNNING, VEHICLE WAS NOT OCCUPIED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FRONTAL DRIVER'S SIDE HEAD REST AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED HEADACHES, BUT WAS NOT INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. *TR *JB

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 35 MPH, THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST SAFETY DEVICE DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON WHILE MY 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT HURT DURING THE INCIDENT. THE PLASTIC PIECES HOLDING THE PIN IN PLACE FAILED RELEASING THE HEADREST. BECAUSE THE PLASTIC FAILED, THERE IS NO WAY TO RESET THE HEADREST AS THE PIN HOLDS IT IN PLACE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT OF THE HEADREST SAFETY SYSTEM.
