2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT LATCH IS NOT FLEXIBLE AT AN ANGLE BELOW THE SEAT. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO LATCH THE SEAT BELT. EVEN IF THE SEAT BELT IS FORCED TO LATCH, THE BELT STUCK IN THE CORNER OF THE BUCKLE UNLESS YOU ADJUST TO THE RIGHT ANGLE TO TIGHTEN THE BELT. THIS IS TOTALLY NOT SAFE TO ANY PASSENGER (ESPECIALLY ANY CHILD). OVER TIME THE SEAT BELT ALSO GETS WRINKLE FROM STUCK IN THE CORNER OF THE BUCKLE AND IT DOES NOT ROLL BACK BY ITSELF. I SAW SOMEONE ASKED THE JEEP DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM ONLINE BUT THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER TO PURCHASE A SEATBELT EXTENSION. I DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR OR A SAFE FUTURE TO ANY JEEP CONSUMER. I'M HOPING JEEP CAN RESOLVE THE BELT BUCKLE OR WRINKLE BELT ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V240000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACTED CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK ON AN INCLINE, THE GEAR SELECTOR INDEPENDENTLY REVERSED DOWN THE INCLINE AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE KNEES AND SHOULDERS, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON AN INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE THE MANUFACTURER'S SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE SHIRT FROM FIRST TO SECOND THERE IS A MAJOR HESITATION, ALSO THE CAR HAS A HARD SHIFT WHEN CHANGING GEARS. WHILE BREAKING THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD CAUSING A JERKING OF PASSENGERS, AND LEAVING ME FEELING LIKE I'M GOING TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE. IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT AND BEING INJURED OR INJURING SOMEONE ELSE

AFTER PARKING MY 2015 IN THE DRIVEWAY, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND EXITING THE CAR, THE VEHICLE BEGAN ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. OUR 12 YEAR OLD SON WAS OUTSIDE AND ALERTED ME OF THE ROLLING VEHICLE AND INSTINCTIVELY RAN TO TRY TO STOP IT. I WAS ABLE TO GET HIM AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND GET BACK INTO THE VEHICLE TO STOP IT BEFORE IT CROSSED THE STREET. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTING ON THIS MODEL. A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. I BACKED THE CAR BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND ENSURED THE CAR WAS IN PARK, ENGINE OFF, DOOR OPEN AND AGAIN, THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD SEVERAL FEET. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN, BACKED IT BACK UP INTO THE DRIVEWAY, MADE CERTAIN IT WAS IN PARK AND SINCE WE HAD SOME ICY CONDITIONS, I ASKED MY SON TO VERIFY THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEELS WERE ROLLING AND NOT SLIDING WHILE I WATCHED THE DRIVER SIDE WHEELS. WE CONFIRMED THAT ALL 4 WHEELS WERE ROLLING. I AGAIN BACKED THE CAR UP, SET THE PARKING BRAKE, PUT A BLOCK IN FRONT OF THE WHEEL AND TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING. THE DEALER COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE ISSUE. THEY VERIFIED THE RECALL WAS PROPERLY COMPLETED. THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER SAID THAT UNLESS IT COULD BE DUPLICATED, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THIS COULD HAVE HAD A CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCE IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN IN FRONT OF THE RUNAWAY VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP HAD BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WAS A MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE THIS ROLL-AWAY, BUT SINCE THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM, CHRYSLER WOULD NOT FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT NO ONE IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO CHRYSLER'S NEGLIGENCE IN GETTING TO THE ROOT OF THIS PROBLEM.

WE PURCHASED OUR CAR IN OCTOBER 2015 AND RECENTLY OUR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON . WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO BARBERA'S TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD WE NEED A NEW THERMOSTAT AND WE JUST CAN'T IMAGINE HOW OR WHY WE WOULD NEED THAT WITH THE CAR BEING NEW WITH ONLY 18K MILES ON IT.. WE MOSTLY USE THE VEHICLE TO GET MY HUSBAND TO AND FROM WORK...SO IT'S MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVEN 5 DAYS A WEEK.

PURCHASED JEEP SEPT. 2015. RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL. TOOK IN AUG.2016. NEVER ANY PROBLEM UNTIL THEY UPDATED IT. SINCE THEN,IT HAS WENT INTO PARK WHEN TRYING TO BACK UP, WHEN IN N, REFUSES TO GO INTO PARK. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, FINALLY DOES. VERY CONCERNED IT WILL DECIDE TO JUMP INTO PARK WHEN I'M ON INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH. TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY CKD IT OUT AND SAID NOTHING WRONG. I'M NOT CONVINCED, AT ALL. CALLED DEALER I LEASED IT FROM. HE SAID MAKE SURE YOU BRAKE FIRST BEFORE ENGAGING. WELL, I'VE BEEN DRIVING SINCE I WAS 16, HAVE NEVER JUST PUT INTO ANY GEAR BEFORE BRAKING. THE WHOLE SITUATION IS VERY ANNOYING AND CONCERNING . NOW WHAT? *TR
