2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

SOMETIMES WHEN USING E-SHIFTER, IT DOES NOT MOVE INTO CORRECT GEAR OR MOVES OUT OF THE GEAR UNKNOWINGLY

TWO SEPERATE ISSUES: ONE IS THE TRANSMISSION RPM'S WILL INCREASE TO A HIGHER RPM'S WHILE TRAVELING AT A LOWER SPEED AND WON'T KICK OUT UNTIL 15-20 SECONDS LATER. 2ND: WHILE ACCELERATING, THE RPM'S WILL INCREASE AND CAUSE JEEP TO SPEED UP FASTER THAN INTNENDED AND I HAVE TO PUT BRAKES ON TO GET IT BACK TO NORMAL SPEED/RPM'S. HAPPENS RANDOMLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE DIESEL EXHAUST FILTER FULL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FREMONT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (39639 BALENTINE DR, NEWARK, CA 94560, (510) 656-8700) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS UPDATED FOUR TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (FORTUNATELY) THE PASSENGER SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT HEADREST) RELEASED BREAKING THE PLASTIC PINS HOLDING IT TOGETHER.

PLASTIC BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE METAL PIN WHICH ENGAGES RELEASE HOOKS BROKE. NO ACCIDENT OR IMPACT TO TRIGGER THE MECHANISM WAS INVOLVED JUST PLASTIC PART BROKE. IT WOULD REALLY HURT IF IT RELEASES AND HITS YOUR HEAD. CAR WAS NOT BEING USED. PARKED

THE DRIVER'S HEADREST SAFETY FEATURE DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON AS THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE CAR.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SHIFTER. QUITE OFTEN WHEN WE PUSH IT INTO PARK IT DOESN'T GO TO PARK. IT EITHER STAYS IN DRIVE OR GOES TO NEUTRAL. SO WHEN WE THINK THE CAR IS IN PARK IT CONTINUES TO MOVE. IT IS HARD TO GET IT IN THE DESIRED GEAR LIKE IF THE COMPUTER IS T READING G IT. WE OFTEN HAVE TO TRY MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT GOES IN THE DESIRED GEAR. WE HAVE NOTICED THIS PRIMARILY WHEN PARKING, THE OTHER DAY WE HAD TO ACT QUICKLY BECAUSE THE CAR WENT FORWARD AND HIT A LOW WALL, AS WE WERE PARKING AT HOME.

IN MY 30 YEARS OF OWNING MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE DOOR POPPING. ALL MY HINGES UPPER AND LOWER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2014 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT AND ARE LEFT IN DISAPPOINTMENT AS I AM CURRENTLY. THERE IS NO RECALL OR TSB ON FILE WHICH IS MIND-BLOWING CONSIDERING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF IT WAS ONE DOOR, I COULD SAY, OK UNDERSTANDABLE 'THINGS HAPPEN. BUT ALL 4 OF MY DOOR HINGES UPPER AND LOWER NEED TO BE REPLACED BE CAUSE ALL MY DOOR POP. JEEP MANUFACTURE HAS DECIDED TO STICK THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND AND IGNORE THE COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE

WHEN YOU START THE JEEP UP, EVERY FEW TIMES IT DISPLAYS A **SERVICE SHIFTER** MESSAGE, AS WELL AS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING OR EVEN CRUISING AT ROAD SPEEDS. DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I SEE THIS IS A REALLY COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. SOME TALKS ARE THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER CABLES ETC. SEEING AS THIS IS SOOO COMMON OF A COMPLAINT AND PROBLEM, I CANT NOT SEE WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS.
