2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE GEAR SHIFTER IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE LIGHTS ON IT ARE NOT LIGHTING UP TO SHOW WHAT GEAR I AM IN AND THE DASH SHOWS "SERVICE SHIFTER" SOMETIMES THE DASH WILL STATE N BUT I WILL BE REVERSING. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE CURRENT RECALL ON THE SHIFTER. THIS ISSUE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THEY TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE SAME DAY IT WAS DOING IT AGAIN.

THE PASSENGER SEAT HEAD RESTRAINT SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR NO KNOWN REASON WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT OR NO FACTORS CAUSED THIS. THE HEAD REST VIOLENTLY SHOT FORWARD APPROX 6" IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE DRIVERS SEAT IT WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE JEEP

I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP SERVICE TECH THAT IT IS THE ALTERNATOR THAT HAS GIVEN OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT ONLY HAS 45K MILES

CAPLESS GAS CAP CRACKED AND IT COMES RIGHT OFF HOUSING. I SCREW IT BACK IN AND DRIVE ON, PROBABLY SAFETY ISSUE. JEEP DEALER CAN ONLY ORDER ENTIRE CAPLESS FILLER ASSEMBLY. $450 PART W/INSTALL. THEY REDESIGNED FUEL FILLER ASSEMBLY ON NEWER JEEPS, BUT THIS CURRENT FAULTY DESIGN SHOULD BE RECALLED AT NO CODT TO OWNER!! . P/N 68243684AA. IT MAY REDIRECT YOU TO NEWLY DESIGNED PART.

AFTER WE PURCHASED THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR A RECALL FOR THE TCM, TO BE SERVICED AND HAVE THE POWER STEERING FLUID CHECKED FOR LEAKS DUE TO THE WELL BEING EMPTY. WE WERE THEN TOLD WHEN WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING WELL WAS DRY THAT ALL JEEPS ARE LIKE THAT. AFTER QUESTIONING THAT STATEMENT THE TECH WENT TO VEHICLE AND FILLED THE WELL. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PART, THE VEHICLE WILL HOLD FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS THEN BEGIN TO ROLL BACK FOR 10 TO 30 FEET DEPENDING ON THE GRADE OF THE INCLINE WHEN IN DRIVE. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC WITH THE HILL START ASSIST WHICH DOES HOLD THE BRAKES FOR THE ALLOTTED TIME. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO PARK IF THE DRIVER TAKES OFF HIS SEATBELT AND EXITS THE CAR IN GEAR. THAT DOES WORK. THE JEEP WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL UNTIL IT JERKS ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL THEN STALLS THE MOTOR, IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL IF THE BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUE TO SAY THAT ALL VEHICLES (AUTOMATICS) WILL ROLL BACK ON AN INCLINE IN DRIVE AND NOT STOP UNTIL YOU APPLY THE BRAKE NO MATTER THE DISTANCE. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CHRYSLER CERTIFIED MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE NO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHOULD ROLL BACK MORE THAN A FOOT. THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT ALL VEHICLES ROLL BACK NO MATTER THE DISTANCE. I STATED MY KIA SOUL DOES NOT EVEN MOVE AN INCH BACKWARDS IN DRIVE ON AN INCLINE, HE RESPONDED WITH"YES IT DOES". HE THEN STATED THAT "DUE TO THE LEMON LAW WE CAN NOT GUESS WHAT IS WRONG, IF WE ARE FIX IT THREE TIMES YOU CAN RETURN THE VEHICLE AND THE TIME WE HAVE PUT INTO YOUR JEEP WE ARE NOT GETTING PAID FOR ". HE ALSO STATED THAT OUR JEEP DOES NOT IDLE HIGH ENOUGH AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED AND CHRYSLER SAYS WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES. WE DON'T WANT TO RETURN THE JEEP WE WANT IT SAFE.

I HAVE THE EXODIESEL SUMMIT 4X4. ON JULY 17 WAS DRIVING AT 55 MILES AN HOUR, IN THE FAST LANE, ON THE 10 FWY (4-LAN HIGHWAY) AT 5:00PM RUSH HOUR IN LOS ANGELES, CA. WITH NO WARNING OF ANY KIND, NO LIMP MODE, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. FELT LIKE IT RAN OUT OF GAS BUT THERE WAS SHY OF 1/4 TANK LEFT OR 88 MILES TO EMPTY. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER FOUNT FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. I MANAGED TO CROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT THIS WAS PURE LUCK. PLEASE ADDRESS.

OUR 2015 GRAND CHEROKEE WAS PARKED IN A STORE PARKING LOT, IN PARK BUT RUNNING. THE SHIFT INDICATOR SHOWED IT IN PARK WHEN MY FIANC EXITED THE JEEP SHE WENT INTO THE STORE,SOMEONE CAME IN AND INDICATED THAT THE JEEP WAS GOING CRAZY. THE JEEP HAD SHIFTED ITSELF INTO REVERSE, DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT TWICE AND FINALLY CRASHED INTO A TREE. CALLS TO FIAT/CHRYSLER HAVE BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL BUT THEY HAVE TOLD US THAT AN INSPECTOR WILL BE COMING TO LOOK AT THE JEEP AND NOT TO DRIVE IT IN THE MEAN TIME. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT FIAT/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF SINCE THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY WON'T PAY FOR A RENTAL OR PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE WE WAIT FOR AN INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK OVER THE JEEP.

WITH LITTLE WARNING, AND OUT OF CELL RECEPTION, JEEP SUDDENLY BEGAN FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY ON NAVIGATION SCREEN WARNING THAT CAR WAS NOT CHARGING AND ANOTHER WARNING ABOUT PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION AS I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH IN A MOUNTAINOUS CALIFORNIA AREA.. I DROVE IT 30 MILES TO TRY TO GET WITHIN CELL PHONE RANGE BEFORE IT SIMPLY QUIT. THANK GOODNESS I HAD JUST RENEWED MY UCONNECT CONTRACT BECAUSE I STILL WAS NOT WITHIN CELL PHONE RANGE WHEN CAR DIED. A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND CAR TOWED TO NEAREST JEEP FACILITY THAT COULD REPAIR IT. RESULT OF PROBLEM WAS BAD ALTERNATOR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 2.5 YEARS OF AGE AND DRIVEN LESS THAN 3,6000 MILES.I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OF PROBLEM UNTIL I WAS TRAVELING 150 MILES AWAY FROM HOME IN A MOUNTAINOUS AND SPARSELY TRAVELED ROAD. JEEP WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT I AM UNEASY NOW ABOUT POTENTIAL OTHER PROBLEMS OCCURRING.

HAD JEEP RECALL PERFORMED FOR THE AUTO PARK ISSUE. SINCE THE RECALL, THE JEEP HAS TRIED TO ENGAGE AUTOPARK FOUR TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE 30 MILES FROM HOME, MERGING ON TO FREEWAY. JEEP WENT IN TO NEUTRAL, DISPLAY READ 'VEHICLE SPEED TOO FAST TO SHIFT I TO PARK'. OBVIOUSLY NOT TRYING TO SHIFT INTO PARK AS I MERGE IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC! STOPPED IN SIDE OF ROAD, VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. SET EBRAKE, HAD VEHICLE TOWED IN. A FEW WEEKS LATER, TRANSFER CASE INTERNALLY EXPLODED. JUNE 19TH WIFE WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, VEHICLE WENT IN TO NEUTRAL AGAIN. THIS TIME DISPLAY SAYS ' AUTOPARK DISABLED. SHE COASTED IN TO A PARKING LOT, SHUT CAR OFF, STATED IT AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. FOUR DAYS AGO WIFE WAS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND JEEP SLAMMED IN TO PARK, ON ITS OWN. SHE TRIED PULLING FORWARD AND IT SLAMMED INTO PARK AGAIN. AUTOPARK ONCE AGAIN TRIED TO ENGAGE ITSELF. THIS FEATURE SHOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN SPEEDS ARE 1.2 MPH OR SLOWER, OR IF AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT SHOULD SHIFT TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS JEEP NOW. IF IT'S SLAMMING INTO PARK AT 10 MPH, WHAT'S TO PREVENT IT FROM DOING IT AT 65/70 MPH?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE LEFT RUNNING, THE VEHICLE REVERSED INDEPENDENTLY INTO THE GARAGE WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSED THE REAR WINDOW TO FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER CUETER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM LOCATED ON 2448 WASHTENAW AVE, YPSILANTI, MI, 48197, WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD SERVICE THE RECALL AND REPAIR THE REAR WINDOW. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NEVER RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V240000 (POWER TRAIN), HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000.
