2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

DRIVER SIDE HEADREST POPPED OPEN WHILE VEHICLE UNOCCUPIED. NOT A RESULT OF ACCIDENT OR OTHER INCIDENT. NO OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER COMING A COMPLETE STOP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, VEHICLE HESITATED WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT CALLED BAXTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OMAHA (17950 BURT ST, OMAHA, NE 68118) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.*DT

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND GOING OVER 50 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SPEED/POWER IS CUT OFF AND DROPS. IF IM GOING 70MPH THE AND IT HAPPENS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON, DINGS, AND THE INSTANTLY DROPS SPEED TO ABOUT 55MPH AND DOES NOT LET ME ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE JEEP OFF THEN BACK ON AND IT ALLOWS ME TO GO. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS JUST GONE AWAY ON ITS OWN BEFORE WITHIN HOURS OF IT HAPPENING. SOME SENSORS WERE REPLACED BUT THE ISSUE KEEPS HAPPENING. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND AND THANKFULLY, NO ONE OCCUPIED THE SEAT. *TR

SEAT BELT WONT RETRACT DRIVERS SIDE FRONT, SEEMS LIKE PLASTIC PIECE HAS CRACKED OR BROKEN AND PREVENTS THE RETRACTION FROM HAPPENING. *TR

THE HEADREST ACTIVE RESTRAINT ON MY JEEP DRIVER SIDE SEAT DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THE CLIPS THAT HOLD IT IN PLACE BROKE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WITH NO ONE SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT. *TR

ON A COLD START OR AFTER LEAVING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR SOME TIME & TRY TO CRANK IT OR START IT BACK UP, IT CRANKS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND DOES NOT START. IT WILL NOT START UNTIL THE SECOND TIME OF A START UP ALMOST IF FUEL WAS NOT GETTING DELIVERED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR ON DIRT ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ACTIVE HEADREST SOCCER PUNCHED ME IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON JUST OUT OF THE BLUE. I THOUGHT THE CHAIRS FLEW FROM MY BACKSEAT TO THE FRONT SEAT BUT I PULLED OVER AND MY HEAD REST EXPLODED THE CHEAP PLASTIC PIECES BROKE. I WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO TRY AND WELD THE PLASTIC BACK TOGETHER TO TEMPORARILY FIX IT BECAUSE I AM NOT PAYING $700.00+ TO THE DEALERSHIP TO NOT FIX IT BUT REPLACE IT WHEN THE CHEAP PLASTIC PIECES WILL BREAK AGAIN. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT JEEP USED CHEAP PLASTIC ON THESE ACTIVE HEADRESTS THERE NOT CHEAP TO REPLACE. I'VE HAD MY JEEP 3 YEARS AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES MY HONDA LASTED 15 YRS+ WITH VERY MINIMAL ISSUES. EVEN WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED IN 2018 MY HEADREST DIDN'T EXPLODE IT DID NOTHING. IF THIS ACTIVE HEAD REST IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY AIR BAG IT SURE DOESN'T DO ITS JOB. *TR

THIS MODEL CAN COME WITH THE 3.6 LITER V/6 ENGINE. THE OIL COOLER HAS A NECK ATTACHED AND THIS IS WHERE THE OIL FILTER IS LOCATED. WHERE THE NECK IS CONNECTED TO THE OIL COOLER THERE IS A O-RING TO SEAL THIS CONNECTION AND THIS LEAKS ON ALMOST ALL MODELS. THERE HAS BEEN SOME INCIDENTS WHERE THE OIL HAS LEAKED ON A HOT MOTOR AND CAUSE A FIRE. THIS IS PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE OIL COOLER DESIGN AND SHOULD BE PROBABLY LISTED AS A RECALL. THANK YOU *TR

HEADREST MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND HEARD A LOUD "POPPING" NOISE. ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR WHILE DRIVING, AND THERE WERE CHILDREN ON BOARD. THE HEADREST DEPLOYED AS IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, BUT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
