2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SAGETY RECAL # S55/NHTSA 16V-529 TRANSAXLE WIRE HARNESS. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO CALL MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO ARRANGE SERVICE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE NECESSARY PARTS REQUIRED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT MADE AVAILABLE TO ANY DEALERSHIP YET. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO FOR THE SECOND RECALL NOTICE TO ARRIVE BY MAIL TO CALL AND MAKE THE APPOINTMENT. I ASKED IF, IN THE MEANTIME, I WAS TO HOPE AND PRAY THAT AN ACCIDENT IS NOT CAUSED BY THIS RECALL ITEM IN THE INTERIM, AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLIED , "YES." I THEN CALL THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT FCA AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. UNACCEPTABLE PRACTICES GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE RECALL NOTICE CLEARLY STATES THAT, " ...THE SYSTEM DEFAULTS THE TRANSAXLE TO NEUTRAL AND THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. ....THE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER SHIFTING THE GEAR TO REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE GEAR SHIFTED TO PARK INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MARK DODGE JEEP DEALER AT 3777 GERSTNER MEMORIAL BLVD, LAKE CHARLES, LA 70607, (337) 474-2640, ON 6/17/16 FOR THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER RECALL. THEY CHECKED THE PART AND DETERMINED I NEEDED A REPLACEMENT. THEY TOLD ME THEY ORDERED IT, HOWEVER IT HAS STILL NOT COME IN YET, AND THAT WAS OVER 3 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES DURING THIS 3 MONTH PERIOD. EACH TIME THEY REPORT A DIFFERENT STORY. ONCE THEY SAID IT WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY COULD ONLY ORDER ONE BRAKE CALIPER PER WEEK. ANOTHER TIME THEY SAID I WAS NEXT ON THE LIST TO GET ONE. THEY NEXT TIME THEY SAID IT WAS IN, BUT THEY CALLED BACK TO SAY IT WAS NOT IN. THEY HAVE TOLD ME A NUMBER OF EXCUSES THAT NEVER ADD UP. THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE OR WHAT TO EXPECT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DEALER AND THE PROCESS THEY ARE USING TO FIX THESE RECALLS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS ISSUE REPAIRED AND DONT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE EXPENSE AND TIME TO DRIVE TO ANOTHER CITY TO HAVE THIS RECALL REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER PULLING THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V240000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,200. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION JERKS BETWEEN GEARS 1 2 AND 3. ENGINE REVS WITHOUT DELIVERING POWER AT TIMES OF RAPID ACCELERATION. CAR MOVES 2 TO 3 INCHES WHEN PLACED IN PARK, THESE PROBLEMS ALL STILL PERSIST EVEN AFTER SOFTWARE PATCHES WERE INSTALLED ON RECALL

I PURCHASED 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ALTITUDE WITH THE STANDARD HEADLIGHTS LAST YEAR. THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS. THEY MIGHT BE FINE IN A CITY WITH STREET LIGHTS BUT ON COUNTRY ROADS THE LOW BEAMS BARELY LIGHT THE ROAD AND THE SPILL INTO THE DITCHES DO NOTHING BUT LIGHT THE EDGES. THE HIGH BEAMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THE LOW BEAMS IF THEY WEREN'T POINTED SO HIGH. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE BRIGHTNESS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THEY ARE FROM THE FACTORY, THEY DID SAY THEY WOULD ADJUST THEM IF I THOUGHT THEY WEREN'T POINTED CORRECTLY. MY PARENTS HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. MY MOTHER IF SHE HAD A CHOICE, WOULD REFUSE TO DRIVE IT AT DUSK OR LATER. THE WEAK HEADLIGHTS ARE A HUGE CONCERN THIS TIME OF THE YEAR BECAUSE DEER ARE A VERY REAL HAZARD IN MY AREA. I HAVE ATTACHED AN IMAGE OF THE LOW BEAMS WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE TREE LINE IS ABOUT 10 YARDS AWAY. THE PICTURE DOESN'T DO JUSTICE TO HOW CRAPPY THESE LIGHTS ARE WHEN DRIVING. AT THIS POINT IN TIME I'M FORCED TO PURCHASE AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS FOR A NEW VEHICLE TO RECTIFY AN ISSUE THAT IS PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER. BY DOING SO MAY VOID WARRANTY REPAIRS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND UNDERSTANDING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 15 MPH ON A CITY STREET THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL ARM FRACTURED, BROKE LOOSE, RIPPED APART THE WHEEL WELL AND CAUSED THE CAR TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AND BRUSH AGAINST A PARKED CAR CAUSING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE ON THE FRONT BUMPER.

MY WIFE CAME HOME FROM STORE AND PUT HER IN PARK , SAT IN THE CAR WHILE MAKING A OIL CHANGE APPOINTMENT . EXITED CAR CAME IN THE CAR FOR 5 MINUTES , MY DAUGHTER HAD WENT OUTSIDE 6 MINUTES LATER AND OPENED HER OWN CAR DOOR MY WIFE'S CAR HAD BEGAN TO ROLL CRUSHING HER CAR DOOR BACKWARDS . MY DAUGHTER HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH HER OWN CAR TO GET INTO THE GRAND CHEROKEE TO RE PUT IT IN PARK , CAUSING 1000S IN DAMAGE.

I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT LEVER NOT GOING TO PARK. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH BOB BAKER JEEP IN CARLSBAD, CA TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE. I WENT TO DROP IT OFF. THE JEEP DEALER REFUSED TO DO THE WORK. I WAS TOLD JEEP IS NO LONGER DOING THE RECALL.

I PURCHASED MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN JAN 2016 AND IT HAD RECALL FOR THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER AND BRAKE CALIPER. FCA ISSUES THE RECALL WITHOUT HAVING PARTS TO FIX AND AFTER A MONTH OF WAITING I CANNOT GET THE DEALERSHIP, DICK HUVAERE IN RICHMOND, MI TO GET ME IN TO FINISH THE REPAIR ON THE RECALL. THE DEALER WAS NO CLEAR IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY DID NOT OFFER A RENTAL WHILE THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER.
