2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT HAS A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH START. IT LOCKED UP AND IT COULD NOT BE TOWED BECAUSE THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD NOT GET IT IN NATURAL TO MOVE IT. I WAS STRANDED FOR 12 HOURS WITH NOTHING TO EAT OR DRINK BEFORE I GOT HELP. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN AND I WAS ALONE IN A VERY BAD AREA AT THE TIME. UNLESS THE VEHICLE STARTED IT WOULD DO NOTHING AND COULD NOT BE TOWED. JEEP NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS VERY UNSAFE SYSTEM. THEY SHOULD BE MADE PUT IN AN OVERRIDE SWITCH OR BE ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE WITH A KEY. I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND I WAS GOING TO START ON A 500 MILE TRIP THAT DAY. VERY GOOD THING IT HAPPEN WHEN IT DID. THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD ALONG THE ROAD WITH NO HELP. ALL PUSH BUTTON STARTS NEED A BACKUP TO GET OUT OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I UNLOCKED THE DOOR GET IN AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON AND NOTHING. ALL KIND OF LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DISPLAYED A LOT OF THINGS THAT WOULD NOT WORK. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO IN OR OUT OF GEAR.

HI MY SIFTER SERVICE LIGHT IS ON AS WELL ALL THE GEARS LIGHT TO I HAVE NO WAY UPLOAD A PITUCER

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY ACTIVE FRONT HEADREST DEPLOYED. NO COLLISION OR ACCIDENT OCCURRED. MY NECK IS SORE NOW, BUT NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED.

DRIVERS GAUGE SCREEN INTERMITTENTLY FLASHES 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY TIRE PRESSURE ALERT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND STARTED UP AGAIN LAST WEEK. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY RHYME OR REASON TO IT. LOOKS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH. I TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICING THIS LAST WEEKEND AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY ERROR CODES ON THE DIAGNOSTICS. I TOOK A VIDEO OF THE MALFUNCTION AND SHOWED IT TO THE SERVICE STAFF AT THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP STATES THEY WOULD HAVE TO INSTALL A SCANNER AND TEST DRIVE IT HOWEVER THE GLITCH ISN'T REPRODUCIBLE BUT RATHER SPONTANEOUS AND INTERMITTENT. VEHICLE HAS 1000,000MILES ON IT.

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL AND, UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN , THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VERY HARD. THE CAR ACCELERATED BRIEFLY BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO VEER OFF OF THE INTERSTATE ON TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER REPEATED TRIES, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. ALL ELECTRONICS APPEARED TO WORK EXCEPT THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. CAR WAS TOWED TO CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT CODE P0300 WAS FOUND AND THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS NO LONGER WORKING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH ON A SMOOTH PAVED RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A WINDOW SHATTERING. I LOOKED OVER AND SAW THE PASSENGER SEAT (UNOCCUPIED) HEADREST HAD SPRUNG FORWARD AND DEPLOYED AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED.

1- SURROUND SOUND IS AUTO TURN TO STAY ON. WHEN TURN OFF NO ANY EFFECTS. 2- SOME NOISE COME IN DRIVER SIDE FROM DASH OR ENGINE ROOM. THIS NOISE LIKE AIR SOUND FROM AIR PUMP EVERY 10 TO 25 SEC WITH SYNCHRONOUS SMALL SOME EFFECT IN RPM.
