FAMILY WAS GETTING IN CAR AFTER DINNER, CAR TURNED ON BUT IN PARK, WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND- PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED OUT OF NOWHERE! THANK GOODNESS ELDERLY FAMILY MEMBER SITTING IN FRONT SEAT, WHO IS ON A BLOOD THINNER, WAS HUNCHED FORWARD AT THE TIME! MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT MANUAL AND TRIED TO RESET AS SUGGESTED BUT HE STATES IT WON'T- SEEMS LIKE A PLASTIC PIECE IS BROKEN. CALLED DEALERSHIP BUT THEY STATE IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY- CAR UNDER 36K MILES, AND WILL COST $700 TO REPLACE SINCE PLASTIC PIECE BROKEN. KIND OF AFRAID TO LEAN HEAD ON DRIVER'S SIDE NOW, IN CASE IT DEPLOYS TOO!

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECO DIESEL STARTED TO MAKE A RUMBLING NOISE, THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN A MINUTE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF STILL AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

AFTER 3.5 YEARS OF NO PROBLEMS, OUR JEEP HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE EVERY MONTH SINCE AUGUST 2018.CURRENTLY AT SERVICE SINCE 1/14/19, 15 BUSINESS DAYS. IN AUGUST: PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE WIPERS STARTED, COULD NOT TURN THEM OFF DIFFERENT MESSAGES FLASHED 'NO BUS', AND VARIOUS OTHER MSGS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK IN TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY. RECALLS WERE PERFORMED. WE FELT, OUR PROBLEMS HAD BEEN SOLVED. THEY WERE NOT. SEPTEMBER: ARRIVED AT MY SON'S SCHOOL 7:15 A.M. WIPERS STARTED, CHIMING STARTED, MESSAGES FLASHED, TIRE PRESSURE FLASHED. TURNED ENGINE OFF, RESTARTED PROBLEM SOLVED. OCTOBER: ON BALTIMORE BELTWAY WITH MY SON'S CARPOOL IN THE CAR, WE WERE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC CRAWLING ALONG... WIPERS START, CHIMING, MESSAGES FLASHING 'SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL' AND OTHERS... THEN CAR STARTED LURCHING AND LUNGING SOMEHOW GOT IT LIMPING INTO THE DEALER... PODDED IT AND IT THREW OVER 480 CODES. IN SERVICE FOR 10 DAYS. ALTERNATOR REPLACED, DID NOT HELP. NOVEMBER: ARRIVED HOME AFTER AN 1.5 HOUR TRIP, CHIMING STARTED, MESSAGES FLASHED. BUT THIS TIME AS I REVERSED INTO DRIVEWAY, CAR THREW ITSELF INTO PARK. DECEMBER: AGAIN DRIVING CAR POOL OF YOUNG TEENAGERS, EXITED BALTIMORE BELTWAY, WIPERS START, CHIMING, MESSAGES, 'SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE', 'AUTO PARK DISABLED', SERVICE SHIFTER, ETC. ENGINE REVVING BUT WE'RE BARELY MOVING. THERE WAS NOWHERE TO SAFELY PULLOVER AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE WORKING. I HAD TO MAKE A LADY TURN TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. WE BARELY MADE IT. THIS LAST EPISODE WAS THE LAST STRAW. OUR DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT HELPFUL. THEY HAVE, WITH MY PERMISSION DRIVEN THE VEHICLE WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT HOOKED UP, THEY'VE PUT OVER 600MILES ON MY VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T CARE BECAUSE I'D LIKE IT FIXED. THEY'VE TRIED TO REPLICATE FOR 15+ DAYS W/NO SUCCESS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.

BETWEEN 1/2 & 1/4 TANK THE VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF FUEL AND STALL DUE TO THE SECONDARY TRANSFER FUEL PUMP FAILING TO RUN TO TRANSFER THE REMAINING FUEL IN THE HORSESHOE SHAPED TANK TO THE SIDE WHERE THE MAIN PUMP DRAWS FUEL FROM . THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND VEHICLE WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU ADD FUEL TO BRING THE LEVEL ABOVE 1/2 TANK . HAVE HAD IT TO DEALER TWICE FOR REPLACEMENT AND THE PUMP FAILS AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER . THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN AS VEHICLE CAN STALL DURING PASSING OR WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS . THIS IS A POORLY ENGINEERED SYSTEM AND AT THE VERY LEAST THE SECONDARY FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND IMPROVED TO STOP THESE FAILURES
