2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Power Train Problems

1. The battery is consistently being drained from an unknown issue, mechanic unsure. In two years it has need 3 batteries. This causes start issues, window closing issues, and the radio screen console issues. 2. The transmission gets stuck in third now needing a new transmission.Was told only a new transmission will fix issue.

Subject: Safety Defect Report – Failure of Telematics Module (TCU) Causing Loss of 9-1-1 Emergency Function, Electrical System Malfunctions, and Potential Brake Booster Recall Defect (2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee) Dear NHTSA, I am submitting this complaint because my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is experiencing multiple safety-related failures that I believe are part of a wider defect pattern affecting this model year. Several of these issues involve systems that are critical for emergency safety, braking, and vehicle control. Dear NHTSA, I am submitting this complaint because my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is experiencing multiple safety-related failures that I believe are part of a wider defect pattern affecting this model year. Several of these issues involve systems that are critical for emergency safety, braking, and vehicle control. ⸻ 1. Telematics Control Unit (TCU) Failure Causing Loss of 9-1-1/SOS Emergency Function My Jeep is displaying repeated “Service Emergency Vehicle Phone” errors and the SOS/911 emergency button no longer functions. This is a major safety concern, especially in the event of an accident or breakdown. The TCU failure also causes: •Uconnect 8.4 system not booting •HVAC controls becoming non-functional or unsafe (blowing incorrect temperatures, failing to defrost, turning off unexpectedly) •Random system resets •Loss of ability to control climate during driving (creating visibility issues in cold/wet weather) These issues align with widespread failures of the Uconnect 8.4 / TCU hardware on 2013–2015 Grand Cherokees, which were not included in a recall despite many vehicles exhibiting the same dangerous symptoms. ⸻ 2. TCU-Related CANBUS Interference Causing Transmission and Drivability Safety Issues When the TCU fails, the vehicle experiences: •Transmission communication errors •Vehicle entering limp mode unexpectedly •“Service Transmission” and “Press Brake to Shift” warnings •Delayed or unpredictable shi

The monostable shifter malfunctions constantly. Safety-related concerns include it not staying in park when parked, rolling has occurred; not being able to start due to it not actually being in park; it will switch gear while driving and vehicle will go into limp mode and shut off within seconds, then will not be able to restart. I cannot count on it starting or getting me anywhere safely and have towed multiple times now. The problem has unfortunately not been reproduced or realized by local dealership even with ‘service shifter’, ‘until you reach a desired location you may not be able to shift again NO BUS’, and engine light warning lights appearing when driven. It has been taken twice to John Hiester Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Sanford. (NC). I have spoken with Jeep Customer Care to no avail and the answer is take to a certified dealership but that option is proving to not be successful. I purchased in February 2025 but became disabled right after and haven’t realized it’s very major issues. Not being able to use my vehicle is quite isolating [XXX].

Engine and power train components show failure. Remanufactured 3.6 L pentastar engine camshaft journals and bearings show circumferential scoring from oil starvation. Rocker arm needle bearings failed shedding debris that clogged oil passages. Technician said root cause is oil pressure retention issue or internal contamination. Not caused by improper oil level but a design defect. Teardown report and photos available.

6 months ago, I was driving on the interstate and the ESC system light came on, the vehicle lost power/ability to accelerate, and would only allow acceleration after pulling over and restarting the car. This happened several more times on the interstate, and when the ESC system kicked in it would suddenly lurch the car down about 15 mph and leave no ability to accelerate, causing near collisions at high rates of speed. After eventually taking it to the dealership, it turned out to be failed lifters on the driver's side cam shaft, a known design issue that has apparently plagued the Pentastar engines. This all happened in spite of meticulous maintenance and no warning signs from the engine whatsoever. How is such a significant, known design defect that causes such dangerous driving conditions never been flagged for a recall?

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the vehicle jerked, and the transmission unexpectedly shifted into neutral. An unknown warning light flashed on the instrument panel. In addition, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The contact waited for a few minutes. The vehicle restarted and the vehicle functioned as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. However, no cause for the failure was found. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. Upon investigation, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V447000 (POWER TRAIN). However, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure recurred, and the vehicle was parked and no longer driven due to safety concerns. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The engine and powertrain are affected by a defect described in Safety Recall 66A / NHTSA 23V-411 (loss of crankshaft position). Despite the recall software update being performed, my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to display Diagnostic Trouble Code P0336 (Crankshaft Position Sensor Performance). This issue causes intermittent stalling, hard starts, and loss of engine power, which creates a serious risk of crash if the vehicle stalls while driving. The safety defect described in the recall — tone wheel magnetic material delamination leading to crankshaft signal loss — is still present. Two diagnostic reports (one from an FCA-authorized dealership and one from an independent mechanic) confirm the presence of DTC P0336. The Service Manager at the dealership agreed this is likely recall-related but said FCA corporate must authorize hardware repair. FCA (Case #93427994) has refused to approve full repair, leaving the safety defect unresolved. The defect has been confirmed by the dealership and independent service center and persists despite the software reprogramming remedy. Warning lights (check engine) are active and the issue is repeatable.

Car slips into neutral while on highway. Car continues to go from drive to neutral. Mechanic states new transmission necessary. Contacted Chrysler Jeep dealer they stated all recalls complete not their problem.

Sometimes when i put my Suv in reverse or on drive it make a fully stop and returns to parking.

The component in question is the rear drive shaft. It has been losing speed as I travel on roads and the highways. When accelerating from a stop sign or red light, the vehicle seems to not want to move. It takes a few seconds for the computer to realize the car is in motion. Once it picks up speed, there are three (3) knocks that occur. It makes the vehicle jerk hard and sway sometimes. The next component is the transfer case. It puts the four-wheel in progress to be shifted. The four-wheel drive makes a popping noise when the vehicle comes to a stop and is shut off. It continues to keep shifting from two-wheel to four-wheel to two-wheel without even using the controls. While pulling out from a car lot, I made a right turn. The vehicle acted as if it did not want to go, and the front end started jerking and making a popping noise. Also, when riding on the highway, the front end shakes terribly. My safety was at risk because the vehicle acts up while pulling into traffic or riding on the road. Sometimes, I have my grandkids in the vehicle with me. They are my most precious packages when they ride with me. The problem of the drive shaft has been confirmed by a dealerships service department, my mechanic, and the mechanics of the dealership I purchased the vehicle from. Has not been inspected by the police, insurance reps, or the manufacturers. There were times when the service message for the four-wheel drive came on. It was an issue trying to find a place to do the service.

A warning came on said, service shifter. The part alone is $1,600 I’m a widow and can’t afford this. Mechanic says it’s the electronic transmission module,it tells the transmission what gear to shift into. I read complaints that their Jeep will shift into N or other gears going down the highway. To me this is dangerous and hope you can help.

The vehicle has been making this electrical noise inside the vehicle. The vehicle upon accelerating, would hesitate to go then jerk. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic technician. It was suggested that the vehicle TCM be replaced. It was replaced and the jerking still exist. The vehicle out of nowhere started having these unexpected electrical issues. This caused the cooling system fan to not work. I ordered a new cooling system fan and had it replaced/installed. However, these issues along with other safety concerning issues have continued to occur. This vehicle can cause significant serious injury or injuries to the owner or others. The vehicle would lock up occasionally. This model jeep (2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7L) has some safety concerns. This need to be fixed immediately before it cause catastrophic damages/injuries to others.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited started to shudder when accelerating, roughly into to 2nd/3rd gear, but would stop if pedal was lifted then would shift normally. In about a weeks time, the engine light came on and the vehicle would not shift gears at all while the car was in motion. Would have to pull over immediately, restart vehicle, then shifting would be fine and light went off. Could not reproduce. 3 days later, vehicle shifted into neutral multiple times during one trip of approx 10 miles with each time requiring a restart. Engine light has stayed on, dealership has been contacted.

Vehicle jerks when moving forward or reverse. Vehicles feels as if it 's being rear ended going forward or being hit hard from the front going reverse. This jerking motion is exaggerated more when the steering wheel is turned left or right - very dangerous when parked near a vehicle front/back. The vehicle now also gives an error message to "service 4-wheel drive system" then a few seconds later the Electronic Stability Control warning light , lights up. I only have 62K miles on this vehicle bought it brand new. Took to the dealer for regular oil change and informed about the issue. Dealer changed oil but would need to do a diagnostic for another day. Will drop off vehicle in 4 days.

We have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.7L Hemi engine. Today on XXX, we were moving slowly in traffic on a street in Linden, New Jersey, and suddenly the vehicle accelerated by itself. My wife pressed on the brakes all the way to the floor but the vehicle kept jumping forward - the engine was revving and trying to move the vehicle forward while my wife was firmly pressing on the brake pedal. Because we were in stop and go traffic, the vehicle eventually lurched into the car in front of us and caused an accident. The front of our vehicle was damaged as was the rear of the car in front of us. This sudden acceleration has happened a few times in the last 3 years. During the previous instance of this sudden acceleration, on [XXX] we also hit a car in stop and go traffic. The air bags deployed and we had extensive repairs done because of that. This happened another time as well. During that instance, we did not hit anything, and the only way we were able to stop the car was by switching the gearshift to the Park position.

Oil filter housing failure, this caused oil to be expelled all over the engine compartment. The oil could have hit hot exhaust and caused a fire, engine lost power due to no oil. Taken to Jeep dealer and they told me this is a common issue on this style motor. No symptoms prior to part failure.

I've been driving a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Here are the list of problems I have experienced / still experiencing. 1. Vibration when accelerating through 20 to 30km/h (still exists) 2. Rough, jerky upshifts from 1st->2nd and 2nd->3rd gear (still exists) 3. The car jerks forward suddenly, almost like being rear ended, when coming to a stop. (still exists) 4. Rattling noise from the glove compartment. (still exists) 5. Rattling noise from the back side of the car. (still exists) 6. Loose bolt inside the trunk door. 7. Rattling noise when the car first drives after engine's turned on. (still exists) 8. When using the climate control, the screen often doesn't change to reflect the current climate settings. (fixed) 9. Extremely loud buzzing sound that appears out of nowhere while driving. (still exists) My cheif complaint is the transmission issues that I’m experiencing. I’m afraid to take this SUV on the highway. It’s a safety hazard.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while in reverse and attempting to shift into the Park position, the vehicle rolled backward independently and crashed into a tree. The air bags did not deploy. No injuries were sustained. The vehicle was able to be driven. No police report was filed. As a result of the failure, the shifter needed to be moved upwards before being able to shift the gear in the park position. A few years later while coming to a slow stop to place the vehicle in park, the gear shifter failed to remain in park. The vehicle continued to roll forward causing the rear driver-side door to hit the barrier around a nearby mailbox. The air bags did not deploy. No injuries were sustained. The vehicle was able to be driven from the scene. No police report was filed. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Investigation ID Number: PE15-030 (Power Train). The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they were not able to diagnose the failure and confirmed that there were no recalls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

When driving my vehicle goes into neutral when I press the gas to accelerate when coming to stop at a red light and trying to accelerate again vehicles switch to neutral

While driving at about 50 mph, the transmission shifted into neutral and would not allow me to shift it back into drive while moving or stopped. This put me in a very dangerous situation as I was in traffic and in the left lane on a 4-lane road. After about 10 minutes of the engine being shut off, it started again and ran just fine. A check engine light did come on, giving error code P0205 and U0002-88 when scanned. I believe the latter code is a stored code from a previous issue. No warning lights were on immediately prior to the incident. This is the second time it has happened in the span of about 4 months. The mechanic was not able to diagnose the cause after the first occurrence. After the second occurrence, the local Jeep dealer was contacted; they were not aware of any such issues and recommended adding fuel injector cleaner and changing the spark plugs/getting a tune up. The dealer did not inspect the car. The next day the check engine light went off, though the code may be stored in the car’s memory.

The first time it happened, I was driving on the highway going 70 when all of a sudden the transmission jumped into neutral, which caused me to jump several lanes to get off the highway to avoid being hit by several cars. I was scared to death!! It has has happened several times after that..There are no warning lights that comes on, it just goes from drive to neutral on its own. I’ve taken it to a transmission shop and was told there was nothing wrong with the transmission but there is definitely a problem and a safety hazard for sure!! after looking online, there’s definitely an issue with the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, this is extremely dangerous.

Was driving and vehicle overheated and in seconds my motor locked up right in the middle of an intersection tried to reach out to the dealership I bout it from. They sold and the old owner had everything never got back to me still to this day no one has helped me just found out about you guys so I am still here paying on a vehicle that's motor locked up on me! I have not been able to get anyone to look at the vehicle at this point I've ruined my credit and am about to let the Lender come and get it. This is the last stop for me!

When I put my Jeep in park it goes back into neutral

NHTSA recall # 23V-411 (FCA#66A) was performed, but did not fix the issue with lost power. Even though the recall "fix" didn't work, FCA said that the proper fix wasn't covered, because the vehicle isn't under warranty. According to the dealership, the tone wheel needs replaced, and they said FCA should cover the cost.

Noted hesitation while merging into traffic from expressway on ramp, Jeep reving up with loss of power observed. Jeep stayed in 5th gear on the expressway then leaving work at the end of the day hesitation turning onto the road from the parkinglot with hard forward jerking, shift between gears. Check engine light came on noted recalls this morning with the same type of problem that I am currently experiencing.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled and independently shifted into neutral(N).

I need help! Please! My car is under the X78 Extended Ecodiesel Warranty. The Government (EPA) sued FCA back in 2019 for making these cars with over 14 illegal deletes, like Volkswagen. Instead of making them buy the cars back, they let them say they would make all repairs related to this huge list of components. I’ve had nothing but problems the past almost 2 years. My jeep was at one dealership a full year. Now it’s at another dealership in Ennis Texas for about 59 days now. . My jeep went into limp in mode in front of an 18- wheeler on interstate 45, I was almost killed. I was so afraid! I sent a letter requesting they contact the manufacturer as they have said so on the paperwork. I’ve gone to get my car 4 tiles and it’s still not repaired. I get a text message on Saturday telling me my Jeep is fixed and ready? I’m not getting into that vehicle again, my daughter is having nightmares, she’s asked me please don’t drive that car again! I’ve attempted to pick this car up 4 times, it’s not fixed! Same code from 10/04 initial drop off. The same codes came back on 11/9 after they said they’ve replaced the PCM and Mass Air Flow sensor and other parts?

On multiple occasions while driving, I have felt my transmission slip, reducing the speed of the vehicle and at a stand still, made a pounding noise when switching into gear, and at times I hear a click. I have reported this to Bob Boyd Lancaster (place of purchase) on the first occasion and I was told it was typical for this vehicle to behave that way because it has 12 (or 8) gears. After my transmission slipped again while driving I brought the vehicle in and was informed that it could not be duplicated. I experienced another transmission slip and took it to Jeff Wyler (closer travel). When I returned home I noticed transmission fluid in my garage and reported it. They indicated that I had a bad seal - pending repair - long delay in warranty coverage response (Ford dealership warranty), and now awaiting parts. Days later I experienced another transmission slip and this time I was able to record it on video (unable to upload on this submission) and sent this to the Jeff Wyler. The Ford Warranty only wants to replace the seal and 1 quart of transmission fluid, and not fix the problem or cover the recommended services indicated by the dealership.

Two open recalls on the vehicle (6/9/22 and 6/8/23) that have no repair available. 1. Both recalls can result in immediate and unexpected loss of vehicle power and "cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning" 2. DMV (CA Registered) will not issue current registration tags or paperwork due to recalls being incomplete. 3. Vehicle has had multiple issued related Diesel Engine, including entering into limp mode unexpectedly and incomplete diesel exhaust regeneration which has made it unsafe to drive at highway speeds. I have attempted to call the dealership every month and each time they have no solution as the manufacturer has not released a repair.

We were trying to pull onto the highway and it wouldn't move and started making a godawful sound. We got it towed to a dealership who looked at it and said that the splines for the driveshaft between the transfer case and front differential were shot and also between the transfer case and the transmission. I found where this has been an issue with the Jeep Cherokees, but wondering if it a problem also with the Grand Cherokees.

My JGC 2014. I was on a 5 lane interstate in the far left lane when my car started decelerating at a speed of 64mph. As I was merging into the left emergency lane it switched into neutral gear. I then proceeded to stop and put the Jeep into park and turn it off. Prior to this incident my check engine light had just illuminated a month prior and I ran a diagnostic computer test and it returned stating it was an EVAP problem. I haven’t had any systems. So I was waiting on my first check to get it taking care of (meaning no gas smell in the cabin, no fuel leaks under vehicle, no bad gas mileage). So the police came to my rescue and helped me pull the emergency neutral pull in the middle console in order to get it off closer to the median so I wouldn’t get hit until I could get a tow. Well it wouldn’t turn over again. It sounded like I had a fuel pump problem but when I went to turn it on but not over I heard my fuel pump cut on. So no problems there! So my battery started running low in voltage so I charged it with a battery pack and it got around 13 v and I unplugged it . It’s a 14 v battery. Well I got my vehicle turned in the off position the emergency neutral gear unlocked and then my windshield wipers started and the car was not on . I heard clicking in the fuse part under the hood so I found that fuse and pulled it. I think took a fuse checker and checked every fuse in my box they all had fire. On my dash it started saying system brake suspension and the check engine light was off. So I checked it with the computer diagnostic tester and it said a code of all U’s which were the ECU and the TCM and the gear shifter which was the only P.O. code. So we took my gear shift off and cleaned it and hooked it back up. It was nasty. And it would slap again but not show on my dashboard. So I reset my battery and nothing. I am so upset about this. I’ve worked on every vehicle I’ve owned and this is mind boggling. Everything is up to date and seems fine

traveling on S Sterling Street in Morganton, NC on the morning of July 12, 2023. We were going speed limit20 mph on a one way street, then car made rumbling sound and accelerated on its own at approximately 60-70 mph. I put on brakes,but car did not slow down...weaved thru traffic to avoid hitting anyone..could not get car to slow down and unfortunately hit a car in front of us. All persons were taken to hospital..myself, my wife and person in the other car that was impacted. All persons suffered broken bones. Both cars were totaled. Since accident have read up on this type vehicle accelerating on its own. We were lucky no one was killed. This needs to be looked into before it takes a life.

The left bank intake camshaft and roller rockers have failed. It has cause the check engine light to come on and go off reading a misfire in cylinder 2. After costly repairs to coil packs and plugs, Chrysler is now going to replace with a cost of $1,900.00. This is the same issue in the 2013 Jeep that Chrysler extended the warranty on and won’t do it now on this year model.

Vehicle shifts into neutral when driving down the road and then dies. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it does it everyday, sometimes it doesn't do it for 6 days. Seems to happen within 3 to 7 miles of driving the vehicle. Took to Jeep dealer to see if they could figure it out. Over a month later and $1000.00 Jeep dealer replaced the PCM Pin (?) and checked wiring. Picked up the Jeep and 6 days later on way home from work it shifts into neutral going 58 mph down the road and stalls. 30 mins before it would start back up and allow me to drive it. Never any check engine light on, never and noises or chugging, the vehicle does this with no warning and after 5 to 30 minutes will start back up like nothing happened.

I have had 2 transfer cases and now I need a transmission all in 2 years I’m so over the jeep products all done by the jeep dealership

My 2014 jeep cheroke limited stopped working without any prior warning. I was driving on the highway with my company children. I was going at a speed of 65 miles per hour, when it began to fail in a life, first I noticed the air conditioning stopped working, then I slowed down and stopped accelerating, I noticed that the speed changes suddenly began to change from Drive ( D) to neutral (N), and I got a picture on the dash saying I needed to check my transmission. So what I wanted was to get off the road because I was afraid that my three children were with me and I was afraid that something bad would happen, but the bad thing is that I couldn't stop, because there wasn't enough and safe space where I could stop the truck. and many cars came behind me. So I went about a half mile and was able to get off the road. It was when my truck stopped hard and put itself in Neutral (N) and didn't want to go any further. The air conditioning did not want to work either. When I got off and checked it, I noticed that my truck had oil in the back. So all I thought of was calling my husband and he went to the place where we were to pick us up. The weirdest thing that happened to me was that I never had any warning on the dash before until it started to go bad that day. My husband had checked the truck out because I was going out of state. He always did the corresponding checkups and oil changes because that is the truck that we used for my children and I. The next day we returned for the truck and took it in a trailer to the mechanic to find out what had happened and he said that the transmission did not work, that that happens in these 2014 trucks. My question is what can I do? I want to fix my truck because it's the one I take my kids to school in but I'm afraid it's going to break down again. I began to investigate further and saw that I am not the only one to whom this has happened. Even a co-worker of my husband's went through the same situation as me.

Jeep shifts into neutral while driving and Jeep also loses power while driving on the highway! The check engine light would come on and then go off, and stay off. Transmission or Engine possibly.

My cam failed after lifter got stuck at 65k miles, dealership repairs went bad after the first repair attempt they covered. I drove the jeep 19 miles after I bought it.. Then the low oil pressure light came on as the engine locked up. Was at dealer 6 weeks but it was not repaired correctly before i picked it up. On the way home from dealer oil pressure light came on half a sec before the engine seized up. I had to walk 5 miles and get a row truck from my work. 14 days to repair it after I purchased a new mopar long block. Dealer installed in 2 days. Cam lobs where gone and oil was almost magnetic due to camshaft lifter contact. I live in Michigan and i was half tempted to drive to fca in auburn hills just to show them 4 identical camshaft lifter failures I have seen in 3 years from friends and customers. I will probably have to file a lawsuit to recoup some if not all of the last repair cost. Old engine was dealership served at 3 to 4k miles religiously and it still failed. My jeep is ok now after paying for new engine before i even drove it home once. 2 months and $38k plus a few thousand in repairs all due to a shady dealership named Feldman automotive group.I don't think this is morally correct on any level. Makes me sick to pay 40k for the 2014 jeep grand cherokee srt used with low miles and tons more in repairs the first 29 miles. 2 months of hell. plus it ruined my financial stability. Why doesn't the dealership warranty a repair they did before a sale if it fails the same day. Something need to rectify my financial loss before I snap thinking about it 24-7. Feldman automotive group should of covered second repair attempt as first was unsuccessful.

Since purchasing the 2014 Jeep GC Overland with a v6 engine new in 2013 I have had an occasional problem where it shifts unexpectedly from auto to manual (paddles not touched) on acceleration from a slow/stopped position. Problem has happened every year of ownership including April 2023! Local dealer and manufacture have tried to find and fix the problem with limited success over the years. Most of my complaints are in the car's file with dealer/manufacture. The transfer case was recalled on the 2014 year Jeep GC Overland V6 but they said mine was not included however the symptoms are the same. This exclusion was based on my vin which indicated that it had a different trans case but I am not sure that they both should have been recalled if different. Again this safety problem was experienced in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Gear switching to Neutral while driving, stops abruptly, steering locks up, and the vehicle shuts down completely. In order to restart, the battery requires a jump. The battery is fairly new and shows good voltage. 05/29/2023 (UPDATE) The issue was corrected with the installation of a new battery. Although the battery (2.5 years old) was indicating good voltage levels during testing, it would dip below 9v while driving. As explained by the Jeep dealer mechanic, this was causing the vehicle to immediately shut down, lock steering, and abruptly halt. I believe it’s still a safety issue. If I had been on the freeway, it would have likely created a serious danger to anyone unable to stop, or maneuver, in time.

The engine had smoke coming from under the hood, the technician said the PVC hose was disconnected. I had just picked my jeep up after a year of being at the dealership consecutively and got carbon monoxide poisoning, had to go to my doctor and the emergency room. https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/2014-wk2-ecodiesel-occasional-smoke-from-under-or-engine-compartment.232597/

My jeep has been at the dealership for a year prior to this. On February 21,2023 I gave them a list of a weird smell in my cabin, broken, and missing parts. I was sent an email on the ‘March 14, 2023 saying my jeep was fixed and ready I went in on March 17, 2023 to pick up my jeep, from what I could see the broken pieces were repaired. I got in proceeded to drive, after I went maybe 16 miles one way, I had to turn around, there was a weird smell in my cabin. My eyes, and nose started running and my head was feeling weird. I already have COPD. I found the service manager, he went out and got a technician, the tech stuck his head into the jeep and said it was antifreeze. I told him I don’t know what it is, but I feel weird. They proceeded to lift the hood and there was black smoke, the tech said the “PVC” hose was disconnected. I didn’t know what that was, I left the jeep there. I didn’t feel well throughout the weekend, went to my Dr. Monday March 20, 2023. I had a very bad headache, short of breath, nausea, just feeling really bad and run down. I was told it was possible carbon monoxide poisoning, especially since that PVC hose not connected would distribute exhaust into the cabin. I was then taken back to the emergency room on Sunday March 26, 2023, I couldn’t stop vomiting, stomach hurt so bad and headache. I reached out to the dealership, and informed them what happened. They never replied back. I need help please, I’m a disabled U.S. Air Force retired veteran with COPD and other medical conditions. This situation is unacceptable. I’ve tried to get a meeting with the owners, on several occasions. Since they had my engine taken apart and just sitting out back of their dealership for months. I want the engine replaced completely, or they can send my jeep to another dealership to make sure the engine is complete and fixed. This could have killed me!

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently shifted into neutral (N). There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred on several occasions and at each occurrence, he waited approximately five minutes in order to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission valve had failed and needed to be replaced. The part was replaced, however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The transmission was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 119,825.

I was driving and pressed on the gas to go and my car shifted into neutral and wouldn't let me go. I almost got hit by a truck due to this. Luckily he swerved to avoid me. Also my seat belt pulls out but won't retract on passenger side door.

Reluctor wheel / toner wheel is poorly designed and causes the vehicle to go into limp mode when part fails. Manufacture is already aware that the magnet strip can detach and chip as a recall has already been placed. HOWEVER, the fix was NOT to replace the part but update the software so vehicle would not stall. For some reason I was told my particle vehicle was not part of the recall for software update. When my toner wheel went bad it left me in an unsafe situation where I was turning onto a highway and with NO warning my vehicle went into limp mode with vehicles approaching at high speed. I was only able to get up to 15mph in limp mode almost causing a crash as I tried to move over to the shoulder. Limp mode is an UNSAFE practice especially with NO warnings. I would rather take my chances of wrecking additional parts on my vehicle than to have my vehicle go into limp mode on a highway which could lead to a serious crash. The recall 20V-475 should be to REPLACE the tone wheel completely and a recall should be done to prevent a vehicle from going into limp mode without any warnings.

Transmission jerking and slipping until I reach 38mph. Unsafe on roadways feels like being hit from behind. Scary

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at approximately 80 MPH, the rear passenger’s side tire detached from the vehicle. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to cruise to the side of the road. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that due to corrosion, the brake assembly and the drive axle housing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 134,505.

In 2022 our 2014 grand jeep cherokee Pentastar oil filter housing cracked leaking oil and mixing with the coolant.While driving both levels became dangerously low and there was a burning smell. It is now 2023 and our 2015 jeep wrangler just had the exact same issue with the Pentastar oil filter housing crack and oil leaking to dangerous levels. This is a known issue with Jeep, why are there no safety recalls ??

While driving vehicle it doesn't matter if it is highway speeds or street speeds , transmission shifts into neutral and makes car stall. Almost got into at least 4 accidents because of the issue , glad drivers behind me were paying attention and quickly avoid the accident. I have to wait at least ten minutes before car will start again, during those ten minutes car will try to start but without luck. No check engine light , been to at least 5 different shops and no one can say what is wrong because check engine light is not on. And issue happens randomly and technicians Haven't been able to replicate issue. It is a safety hazard. I know jeep Cherokee have a recall for something similar. But it doesn't apply to mine since mine is a Grand Cherokee. Model before mine 2011 to 2013 have a recall for a similar issue but it doesn't apply to mine because mine is a 2014.

*NHTSA Please Help* I purchased my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee brand new in June 2014 from a FCA authorized dealership. I have meticulously maintained, gently driven, and greatly cared for this Jeep since day one. Have only ever had the Jeep serviced at the FCA authorized dealership where I purchased. I have followed and complied with all Jeep manufacturer service recommendations since day one. At 115,000 miles, I am currently experiencing a loud ticking noise resulting from failed rocker arms and failed lifters. These failed rocker arms and lifters will result in complete and catastrophic engine failure. I am also experiencing significant engine oil leaking coming from a failed oil cooler. The Mopar oil cooler in this 3.6 Pentastar engine is made of plastic, and is highly susceptible to failure. I have talked to multiple ASE Certified Mechanics that both issues I am currently experiencing are extremely common amongst these 3.6 Liter Pentastar V6 24 Valve VVT engines. I feel very unsafe as the owner and operator of this Jeep Grand Cherokee, and have lost all confidence as it relates to the safety and reliability of this vehicle. If the vehicle cannot provide reliable and safe transportation, that completely eliminates all safety as a driver and for all passengers of this vehicle. *NHTSA* Please help the owners of the vehicles with these engines with appropriate recalls and procedures to ensure the safety of our vehicles. Thank you.

The Jeep will just get locked in either 1st or 5th gear. Which has almost caused me to wreck multiple times. From doing my own research I understand that is has been a problem with 2014-2015 year jeeps. I find it very disappointing that nothing has been done to recall these vehicles in order to have the issues resolved.

The car just stalled in the middle of the road on a busy street with the information 4wd drive temporarily unavailable till service. There was no prior warning, the car has around 80K miles and has been taken care of regularly with no outsanding calls or other maintenance. Checking the resources available, the reliability on this car seems pretty low with many know transmission issues. I had the car towed to the dealer and they are wanting to fix 1. valve body and connector to pan, 2. dtcm and broken engine and trans mount. A few weeks back the drivers side seat belt stopped retracting (the dealer said they would fix that). The car just stalling with no prior notification or issues added to which the car belt retracting happened on a busy street and very well could have happened in the freeway causing safety and security issues for this and other vehicles on the road. There are innumerable cases of transmissions reports and issues for this vehicle, most of those fixed earlier on during the warranty might just seemed to happened a little bit later. It is a disaster waiting to happen with other vehicle owners if not addressed proactively in my humble opinion, I was relatively lucky to have happened without an incident but it could have been worse. Please need your help in addressing this safety issue asap.

First issue is that I had to replace the Uconnect system this year. It had been on the fritz for some time and updates could not be made to the old system. It would constantly go black. Second issue 2017-$30,000 Miles is that the Replaced steering rack and pinion and align 600 suspension and chassis 4778. Replaced the Leaking Rack and Pinion and passenger front caliper due to sticking bleeder valve 300 bakes. 11/2017 Evaporative System SEAL canister. 2018 Power Brake Booster/vacuum leak and braking issue. Replaced Radio. $1200 ish. Drove car 2/21 50,221 - 10/2022 53,000. October 2022 daughter driving car, gear slipping and engine light comes on and pulls over car not shifting at all into gear. Towed to Jeep where NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION plus at 53,000 miles!!! $15,00 plus quoted at JEEP.

Computer system on dash started flashing & going out while driving telling me to turn engine off engage in park is disabled . Would let me shift gears making loud noise in engine

Their is oil being introduced into the coolant reservoirs. Jeep Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel. The vehicle are having failed oil coolers that stemmed from the failed EGR coolers. The driving of these vehicles for over a year awaiting a fix has caused the engines to have other failures. There has been over 10 recalls on these Ecodiesels since I bought the jeep brand new in 2014. They made a deal with the EPA lawsuit and did a software patch which changed the engine function issues, they did a patch on the power train control module, transmission control module, and apparently the ECM engine control module. I’ve had nothing but “check engine” light codes in since the first patch in 2016 that they didn’t put in the records, I have the work order showing the patch. In 2019 the lawsuit the EPA approved for them, allowed them to place a new patch that caused other components to continue to malfunction like the” high pressure fuel pump now. The dealerships are saying the failures aren’t due to their negligence and are causing consumers to deal with costly repairs that’s not their faults. I got a bill for $29,000 for a new engine, they said my jeep was under extended warranty but don’t want to help foot the repairs. Also stated they would reimburse recall work that customers paid for prior to recalls coming out within 60 days, but it has taken me over 4 years to try and get reimbursed. My car is at the dealership now and has been down since April 29, 2022.

Driving 20-25 MPH, Stopped at a stop sign. Accelerated , then all instrument panel lights started flashing ,then went out of gear. I let off accelerator , then re-accelerated. Got the car home, a short distance. Was not able to put SUV into park. Engaged parking brake. Hours later started car up and was able to place into Park mode. Engine light stays on now.

Something is wrong with 2speed transfer case

This has happened three (3) times to me. The instrument cluster on my 2014 jeep Grand Cherokee just blackouts and the windshield wipers go on, then multiple cluster warning lights illumination and a loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) / electronic stability control system function stops. The vehicle slows down because of loss of power. A loss of instrument cluster illumination and/or loss of ABS function while driving could cause a crash.

the transmission will drop in gear from 8th to 4th will have to pull over and turn car off then on will reset works fine in manual but in automatic itll shift on its own

I noticed things like the cluster going completely black at random and it would last for seconds before re-illuminating; it happens while driving. I took in my vehicle to the dealership on June 28, 2022, two days prior, I noticed that my doors were unlocking while I was inside my workplace, the alarm was going off another day and I noticed shifting issues with the transmission. On June 27, 2022 I was forced to buy a brand new battery because the Jeep was running in Power Saving Mode, instead of taking a risk with a low battery, I bought a new one and thought everything was good, but it continued to run in Power Saving Mode; I received two CEL CODES, both correlating to the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Later that evening my son informed me that the cluster light was still on, the JEEP had been parked for several hours so there was no reason for the light to still be ON (WAKE MODE?). Also, I notated the codes I received before I had to have the Jeep towed to the dealership on Jun 28th to compare to what the service dept came up with; however on Jun 28th I attempted to jump the battery to take it to the service center but it wouldn’t Jump or charge; what happened was, just before the cluster went haywire, the wipers were moving across the windshield while it was in an OFF position, the UCONNECT was glitching out then went black, Cluster warned to service the electronic ABS and the SHIFTER, the fuse box was vibrating and shuddering very loudly, a hissing noise was coming from the back of the vehicle (could be the fuel pump? like compressed air) so by Monday morning, the 27th the battery had completely died and by the time it got to the dealership on Tues, I had to use the battery warranty to replace the battery so that the service department could then diagnose the Jeep. Fine, the battery was replaced Jun 30th with a brand new one, but by Fri Jun 8th I was told I need another brand new battery. All the issues had had a prior recall and seem to be reoccurring.

Service shifter Transfer case Radio malfunction Gear Shifter Shifter got stuck in park i had to forcefully pull the shifter to get it to go into drive. Monday Feb 14, 2022 approximately around 9:00pm I drove my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee to the gas station. I pull up at the gas pumps and pit the shifter to park, I exit the vechile and lock the doors, go inside the store to pay for my purchase and as im walking out I look and my jeep was gone. So I look around and I see it across the highway in a ditch. So I take off Running to my vechile and get in the vechile to try and reverse it but its automactilly goes right back into park. So I get out and look at the damage because there is a guard rail cables. My car has front end damage because it was stuck under the cables. Made a police report. I called the dealership where I am leasing the vechile from and they do not wanna help me. I've had nothing put problems with this vechile since I got it. This really needs to be looked into. What if my babies were in the car. Thankfully there was no oncoming traffic at that time. Becauae its a busy highway. I also have video footage of the incident from that night.

When shifting into park, the shifter is not moving into park without pushing the shifter several times up to get it into park. Also when slowing down to come to a stop the transmission is jarring into lesser gears cause the jeep to jerk, causing whiplash and making loud sound hard to describe. It’s not doing it all the time but when it does it’s like you have been rear ended.

While driving on the freeway at normal speed limit the vehicle has on 2 separate occasions gone into neutral without the driver touching anything. we have taken the vehicle in twice to dealership who have tried to replicate the symptom. They have kept and driven car on multiple occasions with no success . They tell us they cannot fix the problem without a code if they cannot find it. i have called jeep customer service multiple times and they filed a case number but refuse to get back to me when i leave messages. Jeep Cherokee model 2014 had 81000 recalls for a transmission software issue but not the Grand Cherokee model. This vehicle is clearly very dangerous to drive and my son who was driving nearly had a very serious accident when this happened. What am i to do. i cannot let anyone drive this vehicle . Jeep are not interested in helping the dealership get to the bottom of this issue. i cannot sell the vehicle knowing there is a critical issue with the safety of the vehicle and if someone buys it and gets hurt or killed i probably have a liability. The dealership keeps trying to find it but it may not happen again for weeks or months, like looking for a needle in a haystack. case number with Jeep is 81105546 Please help i am at a loss what to do. We have not used the vehicle since the last incident

Purchased vehicle in 2014 and from the start Vehicle occasionally fails to increase speed when acceleration is increased. Under 30000 miles vehicle lost power moving at very low speed. Problem diagnosed at Arrigo Sawgrass as Powertrain Control Module failure. It is a risk if vehicle not responding to increased speed when needed. My research indicates that thousands of 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees in an Australian Batch were recalled for Powertrain Control Module Fault and the failure of my vehicle under 30000 miles seems to match with these recalls and should be carefully looked at for possible recall as well

Emergency Light stating "Service Electronic Throttle Control " that caused Engine Light to come on. These Electronic warnings cause vehicle to go limp and unable to drive or move causing severe danger on the road when vehicle just shuts down. It is a software issue and requires software flush and update, this issue is so common, dealership knew what i was going to say before I even said it. Recall needed to prevent a wreck and fix before issue shuts down vehicle, and should be recalled to prevent owner's financial repair for a software glitch needing updated by car maker.

ON MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 2021 AROUND 3 PM, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY JEEP AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE WORDS 'AUTO PARK' DISABLED APPEARED ON THE SCREENED. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND CONTINUED DRIVE AND EXITED AND WENT TO A GAS STATION. I TURNED IT OFF, PUMPED GAS AND TURNED IT BACK. WHEN I TRIED TO BACK UP, IT IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK. I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALER AND ASKED WHAT IT COULD BE? THEY CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND SAID THAT RECALL FOR A SIMILAR DEFECT WAS ALREADY REPAIRED ON MY VEHICLE, MAYBE IT WAS LOW ON TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED LOOKING TO SEE IF ANY OTHER 2014 JEEPS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY VEHICLE HAS EVER DONE THAT. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE EXTREME COLD. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT.

HELLO, MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR EMISSIONS AND DRIVE TRAIN. DUE THE NUMBER OF MODIFICATIONS BY JEEP, MY VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED TO A POINT THAT SOMETIMES IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. EVERY SOFTWARE UPDATE RESULTS IN LOWER MILEAGE AND SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE. NOW JEEP IS SLOW ROLLING EGR RECALL AND LETTING A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO DEVELOP.

WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING, IN PARK, ON A SLIGHT INCLINED DRIVEWAY, ROLLED BACKWARDS UNTIL FOOT BREAK WAS ENGAGED. ONLY MADE LESS THAN 1 FOOT BEFORE OPERATOR INTERVENTION. REMOVED FOOT FROM MANUAL BREAK, APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES LATER, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS AGAIN WHILE IN CONFIRMED PARK. AGAIN, LESS THAN 1 FOOT BEFORE OPERATOR INTERVENTION. NOTE: A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF SNOW/ICE WAS PRESENT ON THE DRIVE, HOWEVER BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE WHEELS WERE FREE OF SNOW/ICE DURING THE OCCURANCE, VEHICLE IS 4WD. I HAVE NOT PARKED ON AN INCLINE SINCE THE OCCURANCE.

I HAVE TOOK MY VEHICLE FOR A SHIFTER RECALL. THEY DID A PROGRAMMING THEY SAID AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I EXPLAINED TO CHRYSLER CAPITAL ABOUT HOW MY VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AFTER THROWING ITSELF INTO OTHER GEARS. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. NOW MY VEHICLE HARDLY DRIVES AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD CRACKING NOISE. THIS RECALL MADE MY TRANSMISSION GO OUT.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL. WE WERE STUCK ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE WE TRIED TO GET IT TO GO BACK INTO DRIVE. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE TURNING OUT IN FRONT OF A CAR OR ON A BRIDGE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD AND MORE THAN LIKELY CAUSED A BAD WRECK. EVERYWHERE I READ SAYS THESE CARS A NOW FOR THE SHIFTER PROBLEM BUT DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE A RECALL FOR MY EXACT VIN. WE HAD TO STOP DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE WE ARE SCARED IT IS GOING TO GET US IN A WRECK. THE JEEP DEALER NEAR US SAID THAT WE NEED A NEW ELECTRONIC SHIFTER. IT IS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL EARLY FEBRUARY. WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET THIS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE HORRIBLE WRECKS. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GETTING READY TO TURN ONTO AND I70 ON RAMP WHEN THE CAR JUST WENT TO NEUTRAL AND STOPPED. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY FOR MAYBE A COUPLE OF MINUTES WHILE WE TRIED TO GET IT BACK IN GEAR AND DRIVE STRAIGHT HOME. WE GOT LUCKY WE DID T GET HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK BECAUSE IT IS A VERY BUSY AREA BECAUSE THERE ARE 2 TRUCK STOPS THAT DRIVE THROUGH THERE.

ON 12/23/2020 AT 6:00AM I WAS DRIVING ON LONG POINT ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN - ALL ELECTRICAL, ENGINE, LIGHTS, BREAKS, ETC. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 30MPH HEADING TOWARDS A ROUND-ABOUT WHEN EVERYTHING SHUTDOWN. THE LOSS OF POWER RESULTED IN NOT BEING ABLE TO SLOW DOWN. LUCKILY THERE WEREN'T ANY CARS IN THE ROUND-ABOUT WHEN I ENTERED. HOWEVER, IT WAS A RATHER TIGHT ROUND-ABOUT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN AND I WENT OVER THE CURB AND DROVE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUND-ABOUT.. THE CAR RESTARTED AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE THE CAR RESTARTED, ACCELERATION WAS EXTREMELY LIMITED. I CONTINUED TO PROCEEDED DOWN LONG POINT ROAD UNTIL I COULD PULL OFF. ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST POWER FAILURE, ANOTHER POWER FAILURE/COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OCCURRED. THE SECOND POWER SHUTDOWN LASTED ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS AND TURNED BACK ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT WENT OFF AFTER SEVERAL HOURS. IT'S WORTH NOTING, I JUST RECEIVED THE ECODEISEL SOFTWARE UPDATED (I THINK V7).

VEHICLE HAS THRUSTED FORWARD AFTER PUTTING INTO PARK WHILE A BEEPING NOISE IS GOING OFF. SHIFTER HAS NOT WANTED TO GO INTO PARK, OR REVERSE AND INSTEAD GOES INTO NEUTRAL.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP CHEROKEE IN APRIL 2020 AND NOW IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE JUNE 15, 2020 AND I HAVEN'T HAD MY VEHICLE IN OVER TWO MONTHS BECAUSE OF A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THIS TRUCK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CERTIFIED WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT AND I FEEL LIKE I WAS SOLD A LEMON.

CAR WON'T SHIFT PROPERLY WITH THE RECENT RECALL REPAIR. IT GETS STUCK IN D OR N AND SKIPS REVERSE WHEN TRYING TO BACK UP. THE LIGHT SHOWING WHAT GEAR I'M IN OCCASIONALLY GOES OUT TOO, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GEAR I'M IN AFTER CHANGING IT OTHER THAN LETTING IT MOVE. HAS BEEN HAPPENING A WHILE BUT I DON'T HAVE A. EXACT DATE IT STARTED.

ENGINE HAS A TICKING NOISE AT 158000 MILES. I HAVE CHANGED OIL ROUTINELY AT DEALERSHIP . I HAVE REPLACED TIRES, TUNEUP, REPLACED A/C MOTOR AND COMPRESSOR AND TRIED TO SELL IT SO CAN BUY A NEW JEEP BUT 3 PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT ENGINE NOISE. DEALERSHIP SAYS DIRT GETS IN MOTOR AND IT WILL COST OVER 3K TO FIX IT. I AM NOW STUCK WITH THIS CAR UNTIL IT STOPS WORKING. I AM NOT GOING TO BE A RETURNING CUSTOMER TO FCA.

I PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ROUGHLY 31K MILES IN 2016 FROM CHRYSLER DODGE DEALERSHIP IN MICHIGAN. THE SHIFTER IS NOT FRIENDLY USER AND I NOTICED SEVERAL SECONDS OF LATENCY IN ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP (CITY) AND THE RPMS WOULD EXCEL PAST THE CORRECT GEAR. ID HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO HELP GET IT INTO GEAR (CITY & HIGHWAY). THE GEARS SHIFTING IN SPORT MODE WAS SMOOTHER AND TOOK IT BACK TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP (NO RECALL NOTICES WERE SENT) AND THEY STATED IT WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED. NOW WHEN I'M DRIVING IN D THERE'S STILL THE HESITATION OF SHIFTING INTO GEAR AS WELL AS LATENCY DURING ACCELERATION. I FEEL A JOLT WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN I FEEL THE DOWNWARD SHIFTING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE - CITY AND HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 103,970

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN DEGRADING AS I DRIVE. IT STARTED BY DOWNSHIFTING TO 3RD GEAR AND IT GOT STUCK. NOW CONSISTENTLY I CANNOT SHIFT FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR WITHOUT HARD SHIFTING AND MAKING A LOUD NOICE WHILE IN AUTOMATIC, IT DOES HELP CHANGING GEARS WHILE USING THE HAND PEDALS AND NOT ACCELERATING AND GOING SLOW TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT TO 4TH GEAR... I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHEN I DO OIL CHANGE BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE WHICH IS A POWER TRAIN AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT THEY SAY THERE IS NOT ANYTHING. IT USED TO BEHAVE WHEN COLD BUT NOW EVEN IF ENGINE IS HOT AND DRIVEN IT DOES THE SAME. SOMETIMES EVEN WITH PEDALS THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHES BACK TO 3RD EVEN IF I AM IN 6TH GEAR AND DOES NOT GET PASS 3RD GEAR UNLESS I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. IN ADDITION THE REVERSE DOES NOT WORK IF I DON'T SHIFT RIGHT AWAY ON REVERSE. IF I LEAVE THE ENGINE ON FOR A FEW MINS AND DON'T USE THE REVERSE GEAR IT WON'T LET ME AND GOES TO NEUTRAL AND CAMERA GOES OFF, SO I HAVE TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND THEN I CAN SWITCH TO REVERSE. TRANSMISSION IS HORRIBLE. I CAN'T SWITCH FROM 3RD TO 4TH AND I CAN'T GO REVERSE WITHOUT HAVING TO TURN CAR OFF, WIFE CAN'T DRIVE IT AND DON'T HAVE MONEY TO PAY THE DEALER TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A FAULT AT THE MANUFACTURE. I'VE CALLED DEALERSHIP BUT THEY ONLY ARE INTERESTED ON CHARGING AND MENTIONED THAT THEY MAY CHARGE ME UP TO 5K TO CHANGE MY TRANSMISSION... I WILL FIND AN EXACT DATE, BUT I AM GIVING AN APPROXIMATE DAY, IT WAS WHEN I WAS HEADING TO COURT TO HELP A FAMILY RELATIVE SO I'LL FIND OUT IF I NEED TO PROVE WHEN EXACTLY THIS STARTED.

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.

I WAS CHANGING OUT MY BRAKE PADS, A FAIRLY COMMON PROCEDURE, WHEN I NOTICED THERE WAS OIL DRIPPING FROM MY CHASSIS SHIELD I HAVE. TURNS OUT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL FILTER/OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY. APPARENTLY, YOU HAVE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS IN THE PAST FOR THIS ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS AFFECTING THE MAJORITY OF CHRYSLER'S MAKE AND MODELS OF VEHICLES THAT USE THIS ASSEMBLY. THIS IS NOT CONFINED TO JEEP VEHICLES ONLY. THE ASSEMBLY ITSELF IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND IS SEATED RIGHT ON TOP OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE SEAL IS KEPT BY 3 OR 4 O-RINGS THAT WARP WHEN EXPOSED TO THE HEAT OF THE ENGINE AND THEN LEAK OIL INTO THE EXTERIOR VALLEY THAT IS CREATED BY THE PISTON CAVITIES. THIS IS A BIG RISK OF ENGINE OIL FLAME UP AND TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE ENGINE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THE VALLEY IN THE ENGINE CAN HOLD ONTO ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL BEFORE IT STARTS TO LEAK AND IS NOTICEABLE. THIS IS A DANGER FOR DRIVERS THAT DON'T KNOW THEY ARE RUNNING LOW ON OIL AND THEIR ENGINES COULD SEIZE UP AS A RESULT. NOW I KNOW WHY MY CAR HAD JUST SHY OF 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN IT WHEN I CHANGED THE OIL AND MY CAR HOLDS 6 QUARTS TO JUST BE IN THE SAFE ZONE ON MY DIPSTICK. I ASK YOU TO PLEASE LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION ON THE SUBSTANDARD DESIGN OF THIS PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD KNOCKING AND BANGING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR EVENTUALLY ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE PERSISTED FOR SOME TIME. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO PORT JERVIS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (131 KINGSTON AVE, PORT JERVIS, NY 12771, 845-856-6211) WHERE THE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ULTIMATELY REPLACED TWICE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. ALSO, AS THE CONTACT WAS CLOSING THE REAR HATCH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM BOTH LICENSE PLATE BULBS.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND TO ALLOW THEM TO PERFORM A RECALL TO THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM PER THE NOTICE I RECEIVED. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND WENT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND DESPITE LEAVING PLENTY OF ROOM TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO MOVE OVER 15 MPH DESPITE PRESSING THE PEDAL HARDER. I ENDED UP IMPEDING TRAFFIC AS IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET MOVING. THIS SLOW RESPONSE CONTINUED FOR THE FIRST 15-20 MINUTES AND IMPROVED SOME, BUT NOT TO NORMAL OPERATION. IT WAS ALREADY LATE IN THE DAY, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD RETURN TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE NEXT MORNING, THE VEHICLE AGAIN HAS VERY LONG DELAYS FROM THE TIME YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TIME IT ACTUALLY MOVES. IT AGAIN IMPROVED ONCE IT WARMED UP, BUT STILL FEELS LIKE IT IS STARTING IN 2ND GEAR AND HAS AN UNACCEPTABLY LONG DELAY BEFORE IT MOVES FROM A STOP. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE NOW CANNOT MERGE INTO TRAFFIC WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. IN ADDITION, THE EXHAUST SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REGENERATING THE DPF MULTIPLE TIMES AS YOU CAN SMELL THE ODOR AND FEEL THE HEAT IN THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY BE OVERHEATING THE EXHAUST WHICH COULD POSE A FIRE RISK, AS WELL AS THE LACK OF PEDAL RESPONSE WHICH COULD CAUSE A COLLISION IF IT UNEXPECTEDLY LOSES POWER UPON PULLING ACROSS TRAFFIC. I HAVE A MESSAGE TO THE DEALER, BUT HAVE CHECKED THE RECALL RELATED FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS UPDATE, AND THAT FCA HAS NO KNOWN FIX. THE RECALL LETTER STATED THAT THERE WOULD BE NO DRIVEABILITY IMPACT DUE TO THE AEM UPDATE AND NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON FUEL ECONOMY. THIS SUPPOSED EPA EMISSIONS RECALL HAS MADE MY VEHICLE UNSAFE AND INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF FUEL CONSUMED.

I RECENTLY HAD THE ECODIESEL UPDATE INSTALLED ON OUR 2014 ECODIESEL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE STATEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER IS THE DRIVING CONDITIONS, FUEL MILEAGE, AND PERFORMANCE WILL NOT BE IMPACTED DUE TO THE ECM UPDATE. THESE ARE FALSE STATEMENTS AS THE UPDATED HAS GREATLY IMPACTED OUR VEHICLE! FUEL MILEAGE AS DECREASED GREATLY, THERE IS A HUGE LAG IN THE TURBO, AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GEARS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE UPDATE IS UNSAFE! MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR WITH OUR TWIN 15 MONTH OLD BOYS. THE LACK IN RESPONSE OF THE TURBO MAKES IT UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THERE IS NO GET UP AND GO, IT'S DIFFICULT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PASS. THERE IS NO RESPONSIVNESS IN THE THROTTLE TO FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER THE CAR. WE LOVED THIS CAR BEFORE THE MADATED UPDATE (WE LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, WE HAVE TO GET THE UPDATE TO REGISTER THE CAR). NO WE FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH OUR CHILDREN IN IT!

THE "SERVICE GEAR SHIFT" WARNING HAS APPEARED WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION (6 TIMES) AND WHILE PARKED (1TIME) AND THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS STARTING TO SLIP AND WILL GEAR DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE NEXT THING THAT OCCURS IS THE WIPERS WILL START ON THEIR OWN AND CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF. AFTER THE WIPERS ARE TRIGGERED THEN THE NEXT MESSAGE WILL SAY "UNTIL YOU REACH A DESIRED LOCATION YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT AGAIN UNTIL SERVICED". NEXT ANOTHER RANDOM MESSAGE WILL APPEAR AND THEN THE SCREEN WILL GO BLANK. THIS INCLUDES ALL DIGITAL FUNCTIONS OF THE DASH. SUCH AS SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, TACHOMETER, ETC. SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ARE THE ONLY THING THAT WILL APPEAR. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED ON AUG. 2, 2019 THE CAR WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK OR TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND GET UNDER THE HOOD WHERE THE FUSE PANEL IS LOCATED AND PULL THE IGNITION FUSE TO DISABLE THE CAR. WE HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN TO BYERS CHRYSLER LLC. 7 TIMES AND HAVE AN ONGOING COMMUNICATION CASE WITH A CORPORATE JEEP CARE ASSOCIATE. WE HAVE MUTIPLE VIDEOS THAT CAN BE SEEN OF THE ACTIONS OF THE CAR. THREE TIMES THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO US WITH NOTHING DONE EXCEPT CLEARING THE ERROR CODES IT GENERATES WHILE THIS OCCURS. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS NOW AT THE POINT WHERE IT WILL NOT SAFELY PARK AND TURN OFF. THE IMAGE I AM INCLUDING STATES THE THE CAR SHOULD BE SHUT OFF TO ENGAGE PARK BUT IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO THIS. I HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN GEAR AND RUNNING WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON. THIS IS AS UNSAFE AS IT CAN GET AND THERE IS NO CLUE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. WE HAVE CURRENTLY SPENT $1600 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO REMEDY.

CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) RECALL T36 / NHTSA 17V-435 INCIDENT SUMMARY ON 2018-01-21, MY 2104 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH. A CRASH WAS AVOIDED, BUT THE SITUATION WAS HIGHLY DANGEROUS TO PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS INCIDENT EXHIBITED ALL THE SYMPTOMS AND WARNINGS FROM CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) RECALL T36 / NHTSA 17V-435. (SUMMARIZED BELOW) THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. JUST PRIOR TO THE STALL, WARNINGS BRIEFLY FLASHED IN THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. WARNINGS INCLUDED; BATTERY SAVER MODE, ABS SYSTEM FAILURE, SUSPENSION FAILURE. ALL ELECTRONICS IN THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED BIZARRE BEHAVIOR AND COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. ADDITIONALLY THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUALLY RECYCLED AND THE WIPERS TURNED ON WITH NO INTERVENTION. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING OCCURRED. AFTER THE STALL COMPLETED AND THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, A LOUD HIGH-PITCHED TICKING NOISE CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, A PUNGENT BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DISABLED AND UNRESPONSIVE AND WAS TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP ON 2018-01-21. A CLAIM WAS FILLED WITH FCA US LLC RECALL DEPARTMENT ON 2018-01-23. AS OF 2018-01-26, THE DEALER IS STILL WAITING FOR FCA US LLC RECALL DEPARTMENT TO RESPOND. AS OF 2018-01-26, THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. T36 / NHTSA 17V-435 RECALL SUMMARY 'THE ALTERNATOR ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE FAILURE DUE TO CYCLICAL LOADS INDUCED BY EHPS. WHEN THE DIODES FAIL, THE ALTERNATOR WILL NO LONGER SUPPLY ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO THE VEHICLE AND MAY LEAD TO A VEHICLE STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. FAILED DIODES MAY ALSO DEVELOP A RESISTIVE SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAN RESULT IN HEAT, SMOKE AND/OR FIRE ORIGINATING WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR.'

I HAD REACHED INTO THE STORAGE AND OUTLET TREY IN THE CENTER COUNSEL WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MY JACKET SLEEVE APPARENTLY HIT THE GEAR SHIFT AND BUMPED IT INTO NEUTRAL. WHEN I REALIZE WHAT WAS HAPPENING I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFTER TO RETURN IT TO DRIVE. I REACH IN THIS STORAGE TRAY MANY TIME A DAY AND HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE, JUST NOT GOING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. IF THIS STICK IS HIGHLY PROGRAMMABLE, WHY CAN IT NOT BE PROGRAMED TO REQUIRE ME TO PUSH THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON TO CHANGE FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL?? THIS IS DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING. THEIR IS NOT MUCH ROOM FOR YOUR ARM TO REACH OVER THE SHIFTER TO RETRIEVE ITEMS IN THE TREY.

I WAS INFORMED BY A SUPERVISOR AT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION THAT THE REASON THAT THE TRANSFER CASE (PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN) ON MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE JEEP BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN TIRE TREAD DEPTH OF GREATER THAN 3/32 OF AN INCH (2.3MM). THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO REIMBURSE ME $1000 TOWARDS THE REPAIR, HOWEVER, I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON 9/20/2017 WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY OUT OF A FAST FOOD PARKING LOT AND APPROACHED THE EXIT INTENDING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE ROAD. I SAW THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND APPLIED MY BRAKES TO STOP AND WAIT FOR THE TRAFFIC TO PASS. I'M POSITIVE THAT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT INSTEAD OF STOPPING, MY CAR SURGED FORWARD INTO THE ROAD AND INTO THE PATH OF A SEMI TRUCK. THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING. I STARTED TO REACH FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT I HAD ALREADY HIT THE SEMI- TRUCK BY THEN. THE FIRST IMPACT HAPPENED ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY CAR, THEN THE CAR SPUN AROUND AND THE SECOND IMPACT HIT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY CAR, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPIN AROUND AND STOPPED WHEN IT HIT A UTILITY POLE NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE/EXIT OF THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED. I AM 100% CERTAIN THAT SOME KIND OF MALFUNCTION HAPPENED WITH MY CAR. I KNOW I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS JEEP FOR REPAIRS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES, AND I BELIEVE AT LEAST A COUPLE OF THEM WERE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I SEARCHED THE NHTSA WEBSITE, AND I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THE 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SURGING FORWARD WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS MODEL GRAND CHEROKEE HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN, AND BRAKE SYSTEMS. I HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO JEEP ABOUT THE ACCIDENT.

EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING THE SHIFTERS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY ARE NOT, THE COMPUTER HAS THE ULTIMATE CONTROL OF THE DODGE JEEP AND CHRYSLER SHIFTERS BE IT A KNOB OR A ONE IN THE JEEP. IF THE CAR IS ROLLING IN ANYWAY THE COMPUTER WILL NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE DRIVER CAN MAKE THE PROPER MOTION BUT THE COMPUTER WILL DECIDE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BECAUSE OF THE MOVEMENT. THERE IS MINIMAL INDICATION OF THE COMPUTER OVERRIDING THE DRIVERS MOTION. THE DRIVER THEN GOES TO TURN OFF THE CAR WITH A PUSH BUTTON, ONCE AGAIN THE COMPUTER DECIDES THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL SO THE WILL NOT TURN THE CAR OFF ESSENTIALLY MAKING THE PUSH BUTTON INOPERABLE. THE REASON FOR THE ACCIDENTS IS BECAUSE PEOPLE MAKE THE MOVEMENT WITH THE CAR ROLLING AND THEN THE COMPUTER OVERRIDES THE DRIVER AND THEN OVER RIDES THE SECOND TIME WITH TURNING THE CAR OFF. PEOPLE GET OUT OF THE CAR EXPECTING THE CAR TO BE OFF AND AFTER PARTIALLY STEPPING OUT OR PARTIALLY STEPPING OUT DISCOVER THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING AND IF THERE IS ANY KIND OF AN INCLINE...LITERALLY RUNNING AWAY AND THEY CHASE THE CAR. I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME BUT MY SON REALIZED THE CAR WAS RUNNING. I TOLD THE DEALER THEY SAID I MADE A MISTAKE I SAID NO I DIDN'T AND THEN WAS ON A MISSION. ON THE RECALL NOTICE THE LAST LINE STATE THAT THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO PARK IF THE CAR IS GOING ABOVE A CERTAIN SPEED THAT IS THE SAME A SLIGHT ROLL. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT I HAVE MAKE A CALL TO CHRYSLER BUT NO ONE COULD LISTEN. THINK ABOUT IT THE FIX WAS FOR THE COMPUTER TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IF THE DOOR OPENS WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. THE COMPUTER CAN SLAM ON THE BRAKES IF A LEAF BLOW INFRONT OF ONE OF THE FRONT SENSORS AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED ON THAT ONE. THESE VEHICLES AND THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING HAVE TAKEN VITAL FUNCTIONS AWAY FROM THE DRIVER BUT THEY DIDN'T EXPLAIN THAT TO ME WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR! THAT IS WHY DODGE TRUCKS DO THE SAMETHING

PLEASE NOTE: THE JEEP HAD ALREADY RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE APRIL 2016 RECALL INVOLVING THE GEAR SHIFTER/ROLLAWAYS (SEE EA1600).

I BACKED MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OUT OF THE GARAGE TO A POSITION ABOUT 3' IN OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE DOOR. I PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR, CLOSED THE DOOR AND WENT BACK INTO THE GARAGE TO GET AN EXTENSION LADDER. I CARRIED THE LADDER AROUND BEHIND THE JEEP AND PUT IT ON MY ROOF RACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WALKED BACK BEHIND THE JEEP AND INTO THE GARAGE AGAIN TO GET A STEP STOOL AND SOME BUNGEE CORDS TO ATTACH THE LADDER AND WENT AROUND THE JEEP AGAIN. I FINISHED SECURING THE LADDER TO THE RACK AND OPENED THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR TO PUT THE STEP STOOL IN THE FOOT WELL IN THE BACK SEAT. JUST AT THAT MOMENT THE CAR STARTED SPONTANEOUSLY ROLLING BACKWARD DOWN THE SLIGHT INCLINE. I GRABBED ONTO THE DOOR FRAME AND BRACED TO TRY TO STOP IT, BUT THE CAR WAS TOO HEAVY AND IT JUST KEPT GOING. SO I SLAMMED THE REAR DOOR, OPENED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND DOVE INTO THE CAR. I MANAGED TO GET MY LEFT FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP. WHEN I TOOK STOCK OF WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED, I FOUND MYSELF WITH MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. I GOT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SET. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR ANYBODY AS IT ROLLED BACKWARD. THIS VEHICLE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL INSTALLED TO FIX THE SHIFT LEVER PROBLEM. I NOW BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE SHIFT LEVER. I HAD ONLY SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE TO PARK AND THE SOFTWARE HAD 3 OPPORTUNITIES TO SET IT TO PARK: 1) WHEN I PUSHED THE SHIFTER INTO PARK, 2) WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND 3) WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION - WHERE THE TRANSMISSION GOT SET INTO NEUTRAL AND THE SOFTWARE DID NOT KNOW WHERE IT WAS SET.

ON NOVEMBER 25TH 2016 I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND REMEMBERED I FORGOT SOMETHING SO PULLED BACK ONTO MY DRIVEWAY (FLAT SURFACE), PUT IT INTO PARK AND PRETTY SURE I HIT THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF. I EXITED MY VEHICLE, BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND AND WAS JUST 4 INCHES FROM SHUTTING THE DOOR WHEN IT TOOK OFF DRIVING STRAIGHT INTO MY CLOSED GARAGE DOOR. I WAS ABLE TO CHASE THE VEHICLE DOWN AND GET IT STOPPED (FORTUNATELY THE RIDING MOWER KEPT IT FROM GOING ON THRU). I HAD THIS VEHICLE IN PARK. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF IT IS NOT. IT WILL IMMEDIATELY TAKE OFF WHEN YOUR FOOT IS OFF THE BRAKE. IT EVEN HAS A SLIGHT FORWARD ROLL WHEN YOU HAVE IT IN PARK AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THAT GETS MY ATTENTION. I NOTIFIED JEEP AND THEY INSPECTED. WAS TOLD BY THE INSPECTOR A FAULT WAS FOUND, BUT ONLY "JEEP ENGINEERS KNOW WHAT THE CODE MEANS". I HAD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE 3 HOURS TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT TO MEET WITH THE INSPECTOR AS WELL. AT THAT TIME THEY DID THE REPAIR FOR THE GEAR SHIFT THAT WAS AVAILABLE (I ONLY RECEIVED THE CARD THAT THERE WAS A FIX IN THE WORKS). I WAS TOLD BY THE INSPECTOR THAT THE FIX WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED WHEN NOT IN PARK. WE TESTED THIS ONCE I PICKED MY VEHICLE UP AT A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT AND GUESS WHAT, IT DID NOT STOP. WE WENT FORWARD AND OPENED DOOR AND WE WENT IN REVERSE WITH DOOR OPENED AND NEITHER WORKED. TRIED AGAIN AFTER A 3 HOUR DRIVE HOME ON THE DRIVE WAY, BOTH TIMES IT DID NOT WORK. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I TESTED BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THAT TIME IT BOLTED INTO PARK. TESTED AGAIN AT ANOTHER DRIVE WAY, IT DID NOT WORK THE FIRST TWO TRIES AND THEN DID ON THE LAST TRY. THIS IS ALL BESIDE THE POINT OF MY INCIDENT. . I HAVE $9,000 DOLLARS DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND $1000 TO MY GARAGE THAT THEY WON'T FIX OR REPLACE. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE GEAR SHIFT.

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, THE CAR SEEMS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL (ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T DISPLAY THAT IT IS IN NEUTRAL ON THE SCREEN) AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE STILL REVS WHEN I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN MY VEHICLE, AND EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF GREATER THAN 40 MPH AND IT HAS OCCURRED WHEN I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE QUICKER THAN NORMAL, SUCH AS WHEN I AM MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY. I BELIEVE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH EITHER THE TRANSMISSION OR THE COMPUTER THAT OPERATES THE TRANSMISSION.

I DRIVE THE 2014 GR CHEROKEE WITH THE ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFTER THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SHIFTER NOT ENGAGING ALL OF THE WAY INTO PARK. I HAD THE RECALL 'FIX' DONE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, BUT THEN FOUND OUT FROM THE DEALER THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ONLY ENGAGES IF YOU ATTEMPT TO OPEN ONE OF THE DOORS. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, AFTER PARALLEL PARKING ON A BUSY CITY STREET, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REMAINED IN THE CAR FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MINUTE WHILE FISHING QUARTERS OUT OF MY CUPHOLDER (FOR THE PARKING METER). I ALL OF A SUDDEN FELT LIKE SOMETHING HIT MY CAR, LOOKED UP ONLY TO FIND MY CAR HAD ROLLED BACKWARD INTO THE PARKED CAR BEHIND ME. I HAVE A HUGE BIKE RACK ON THE BACK OF MY JEEP THAT BLOCKS THE REVERSE CAMERA, SO THE AUDIBLE SECURITY ALERT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN REVERSE - THIS ALERT DID NOT COME ON WHILE THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARD, THEREFORE, THE CAR WAS NOT IN REVERSE, BUT RATHER NOT IN PARK ALL OF THE WAY. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS BEHIND MY CAR, NOR ANY DAMAGE TO EITHER VEHICLE, HOWEVER, IF A PERSON WOULD HAVE HAD THEIR BACK TO ME, I WOULD HAVE CRUSHED THEM BETWEEN THE TWO CARS. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 6 DAYS (SECOND TIME FOR SAME ISSUE) AND I'M DEALING WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WITHIN CHRYSLER/JEEP TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE SOMEHOW. I WANT EITHER A NEW GEAR SHIFTER THAT IS NOT ELECTRONIC, OR TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS GEAR SHIFTER IS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING THE RUN-AROUND, TO SAY THE LEAST, ABOUT A MAJOR RECALL THAT IS THE AUTO MAKERS FAULT, NOT THE CONSUMER. FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 YEARS AND TYPICALLY AVERAGE 20-30K MILES/YEAR. I AM CONSULTING A LAWYER AT THIS POINT.

Mileage: 35,000

MY JEEP WAS SERVICED TWICE FOR THE RECENT SHIFTER PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IDENTIFIES AS DRIVER INATTENTION OR CONFUSION. THE SOFTWARE PATCH THAT IS INTENDED TO "AUTO PARK" THE VEHICLE, HAS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE ENGINE IS STARTED, I APPLY THE BRAKE AND PLACE THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE OR A FORWARD GEAR. I THE DESIRED GEAR IS ILLUMINATED AND I EASE OF THE BRAKE, HOWEVER, WHEN APPLY GAS THE ENGINE SIMPLY RACES AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. JEEPS ATTEMPT TO FIX A PROBLEM HAS NOW LED TO ANOTHER PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE AND A DEATH MACHINE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN IT'S OPERATION AND I CAN'T IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. JEEP CORPORATE SHOULD BE IN JAIL.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

THE SHIFTER PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BUT I READ ABOUT THE PROPOSED SOLUTION AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE THAT WILL ONLY FIX PART OF THE PROBLEM. UNLESS THE DRIVER IS PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE IN PARK. BUT IT IS ALSO VERY EASY TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL. THE NEAR MISS I HAD WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT THAT HAD AN INCLINE TO A VERY BUST STREET. I THOUGHT I WAS IDLING TO THE EASE OF THE STREET BUT I WAS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL. WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE TO PULL ONTO THE STREET THE CAR ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BUT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT EXCELLERATE WHEN I HIT THE THROTTLE. SCRAMBLING TO GET THE CAR IN GEAR IT TOOK A FEW PRESCIOUS SECONDS TO REALIZE YOU HAVE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT. TOO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SHIFTER IS GOING TO GET OTHERS KILLED UNLESS A COMPLETE NEW SYSTEM IS INSTALLED. THIS CAR HAS MANY GREAT SAFETY FEATURES BUT IN MANY CASES THERE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH TIME TO REACT. I'M A 40 YEAR EXPERIENCED LICENSED DRIVER WITH CLASS A CDL. A DRIVER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON THE SHIFTER. IT SHOULD BE A NATURAL MOTION. THIS IS A TICKING TIME BOMB THAT MUST BE REPAIRED OR IT WILL CAUSE MORE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT AN ALARM THAT TELLS THE DRIVER THE CAR IS OR IS NOT IN PARK WILL ONLY FIX PART OF THE PROBLEM. I ROUTINELY FIND MYSELF IN THE WRONG GEAR. JEEP IS TRYING TO FIND A CHEAP WAY OUT THAT IS JUST NOT GOING TO WORK.

THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER THAT HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY. I HAVE READ THAT, FINALLY, CHRYSLER IS ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION THEY HAVE COME UP WITH, TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IF THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPENED, DOES NOT SUFFICE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. HERE IS WHY: I HAVE HAD THE SITUATION, WHERE I PULL MY CAR INTO MY GARAGE WHICH IS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. MY KIDS JUMP OUT OF THE CAR, AND WALK AROUND THE BACK TO GET INTO THE HOUSE. AS IS OFTEN THE CASE, I HAVE A FEW THINGS TO GATHER UP, SO I AM NOT AS QUICK TO EXIT THE CAR AS THEY ARE. KIDS ARE BEHIND THE CAR AND I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STARTS ROLLING BACKWARD WHILE THE KIDS ARE BEHIND IT. IT IS ONLY BY EXTREME LUCK THAT I DID NOT KILL BOTH MY CHILDREN. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, THAT EVEN THOUGH I AM PAINFULLY AWARE OF THE SITUATION WITH THE SHIFTER, AND I AM EXTREMELY DILIGENT, YOU CAN BECOME DISTRACTED AND FORGET. FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE SENT MESSAGES TO CHRYSLER (SPECIFICALLY, WHEN THEY SENT THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY AFTER I FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR) THAT MENTIONS THIS AS A PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION. NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. THE SECOND I READ ABOUT THAT YOUNG MAN GETTING KILLED IN LA I SAID TO MY SON THAT I WOULD GUARANTEE HE WAS DRIVING A JEEP. I HAVE BEEN SAYING SOMEONE WAS GOING TO GET KILLED FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, AND NOW SOMEONE HAS. AND, I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THERE ARE OTHERS WHO JUST DIDN'T REALIZE WHY OR WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. PLEASE REQUIRE THEM TO MAKE A BETTER FIX AND TO CALL EACH AND EVERY JEEP OWNER AND VERBALLY DESCRIBE THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T READ THEIR MAIL, WHO DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH ETC. THEIR FIX IS NOT GOING TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

THE EMPLOYEE STATED THAT HE THOUGHT HE WAS IN REVERSE, WHEN IN ACTUALITY THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. WHEN HE STEPPED ON THE GAS HE DROVE FORWARD INTO A CONCRETE POLE. HIS EXPLANATION AS TO WHY WAS DUE TO THE LAG (OR PING) BETWEEN REQUESTING A COMMAND AND SEEING THE LED SCREEN INDICATE THE SELECTION. MY WIFE AND I HAVE SEEN THIS FIRST HAND, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO OVERSHOOT THE INTENDED GEAR, AND TRY AND CORRECT BEFORE THE DISPLAY HAS ACCURATELY INDICATED THE ACTUAL GEAR. ADDITIONALLY THE INDICATION LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER ARE COVERED BY THE USER HAND WHEN OPERATING. THIS FORCES THE OPERATOR TO STARE AT THE INDICATORS IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER, WHICH AS STATED BEFORE HAVE A NOTICEABLE LAG BETWEEN INDICATIONS.

ON THE MORNING OF THURSDAY 3/6/14, AS I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK, I STOPPED MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY TO PICK UP MY NEWSPAPER. (I THOUGHT) I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND EXITED MY VEHICLE. AS I WAS PICKING UP THE PAPER, I REALIZED THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARD, DOWN THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVEWAY AND ACROSS MY CUL-DE-SAC. AS I RAN BESIDE THE CAR I SAW THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. I WAS CERTAIN I HAD PUT THE CAR IN PARK! REALIZING THAT NOTHING WAS GOING TO STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT HIT SOMETHING (OPTIONS WERE A FIRE HYDRANT OR MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE,) I FOOLISHLY ATTEMPTED TO JUMP IN THE CAR TO STOP IT. I MISSED.... BADLY. AFTER TRYING TO JUMP INTO A MOVING VEHICLE AND MISSING, I FELL TO THE STREET. I WAS ON MY BACK. AT THAT MOMENT I KNEW THAT I WAS GOING TO BE RUN OVER. I DID NOT KNOW WHERE I WAS IN RELATION TO THE CAR AND, IN THAT SPLIT SECOND, PREPARED FOR THE WORST. I COUNTED MYSELF "LUCKY" WHEN THE VEHICLE "ONLY" RAN OVER MY LEFT LOWER LEG, ANKLE AND FOOT! THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST, LUCKILY, IN A SNOWBANK ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE (PICTURE ATTACHED). AAA WAS CALLED TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE SNOWBANK, AS IT HIGH-CENTERED. I SOUGHT MEDICAL TREATMENT. I HAD A BADLY SPRAINED ANKLE AND DAMAGE TO MY LEFT FOOT ARCH. I HAVE NOT WALKED CORRECTLY SINCE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE PAIN IN THE ARCH OF MY FOOT AND KNEES. WHILE I TOLD MY NEIGHBORS AND CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, I DID NOT NOTIFY MY CAR DEALER AS I THOUGHT THE INCIDENT WAS MY NEGLIGENCE BY NOT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK. IT HAS ONLY BEEN THROUGH THE RECENT MEDIA THAT I REALIZE THAT I AM ANOTHER VICTIM OF THIS VEHICLE'S GEAR SHIFT DEFECT.

REGARDING RECALL 16V-240. I AM WRITING TO ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO REQUIRE FCA TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT SELECTOR WITH ONE THAT STAYS IN THE POSITION CORRESPONDING TO THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTION.

ON AUGUST 19, 2014, I STEPPED OUT OF MY STATIONARY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND--BELIEVING I HAD PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK ON A GENTLE CITY-STREET SLOPE--WHEN IT SUDDENLY MOVED BACKWARD, ROLLING OVER MY LEFT LEG AND SEVERELY DAMAGING MY KNEE, SKIN, ARTERY, AND QUAD MUSCLES. MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY CALLED AN AMBULANCE, WHICH TRANSPORTED ME TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL, WHERE DOCTORS SURGICALLY ATTACHED AN "EXTERNAL FIXATOR" IN THREE PLACES, STABILIZING AND COMPLETELY IMMOBILIZING MY LEG (FOR THE NEXT FIVE WEEKS). AFTER A SECOND SURGERY AND OVER A YEAR OF PAINFUL AND ARDUOUS THERAPY LATER, I CAN NOW WALK WITH A KNEE-BRACE, HALTINGLY AND WITH A NOTICEABLE LIMP . . . ALL DUE TO THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT ACCURATELY INDICATE WHAT GEAR IT IS IN! UNLESS ONE IS CONCENTRATING 100+% OF THE TIME ON THE CONSOLE SHIFTER--AND CONSTANTLY GLANCING AT THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD--THE DRIVER NEVER KNOWS WHAT POSITION THE JEEP'S TRANSMISSION IS IN! THE SHIFTER ON THE CONSOLE ALWAYS LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME, NO MATTER WHAT GEAR HAS SUPPOSEDLY BEEN SELECTED. WE HAD NO ABSOLUTELY FOREWARNING OF THE POTENTIAL LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM INHERENT IN THIS VEHICLE'S DESIGN, AND I CAN ONLY THANK GOD THAT I'M STILL ALIVE TODAY. LAST WEEK WE WERE SURPRISED TO RECEIVE WRITTEN NOTIFICATION FROM FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES THAT THE COMPANY AND NHTSA HAD RECALLED 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FOR THE SPECIFIC DEFECT DESCRIBED IN MY INCIDENT ABOVE!. (FINALLY! VINDICATION!) THE RECALL NUMBER IS SHOW BELOW, I BELIEVE. FCA VEHICLE RECALL NUMBER: S27 / NHTSA 16V-240

Mileage: 1,000

MY INITIAL COMPLAINT WAS THE VEHICLE NOT SHIFTING INTO PARK CORRECTLY WHICH I NOW SEE FIAT CHRYSLER IS PREPARED TO ISSUE A RECALL. HOWEVER, THE SOLUTION OFFERED IS IN MY OPINION INSUFFICIENT. WARNINGS AS OPPOSED TO A REAL FIX IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND I BELIEVE NHTSA MUST DEMAND A REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE SHIFT MODULE.

I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE OF THE RECENT TRANSMISSION SHIFTER RECALL REGARDING MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ON APRIL 9, 2015, AT APPROXIMATELY 2:00 A.M., I STOPPED AT THE POST OFFICE TO MAIL A LETTER. I PLACED THE ELECTRONIC VEHICLE GEAR SHIFTER INTO 'PARK'. IT ACTUALLY WENT INTO REVERSE. AS I STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE, MY FOOT BEGAN TO SLIP. I THOUGHT I HAD STEPPED ONTO SOME OIL ON THE PARKING LOT. I PLACED MY OTHER FOOT ONTO THE PAVEMENT TO CATCH MY BALANCE. IT BEGAN TO SLIP, ALSO. IN THE CONFUSION, I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING FORWARD OR REVERSE. I STILL HAD A HOLD ON THE DOOR AND THE STEERING WHEEL. AS I TRIED TO PULL MYSELF BACK INTO THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED. AT THAT POINT, AND SINCE THE DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN, I DECIDED TO DROP TO THE PAVEMENT TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE MOVING VEHICLE. WHEN I DID, THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL ROLLED OVER MY RIGHT LEG. MY LEG MUST HAVE BEEN IN A FOLDED POSITION. THE WHEEL ROLLED ONTO THE INNER-UPPER PART OF MY LOWER LEG, MISSING THE KNEE, AND OFF THE OUTER-LOWER PART OF MY UPPER LEG. THE PAIN SET IN. I WAS ABLE TO GET UP, CHASE DOWN THE VEHICLE, GET IN, AND STOP IT BEFORE IT CRASHED INTO ANYTHING. I SAT IN THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE UNTIL SOME OF THE PAIN SUBSIDED A BIT, DROVE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL PLACE AT THE POST OFFICE AND PARKED IT. I LOST THE LETTER I WAS MAILING AND SEARCHED FOR IT. I WENT HOME, TOOK THREE ASPIRIN AND A SHOT OF WHISKEY, AND WATCHED TELEVISION FOR A WHILE UNTIL I COULD SLEEP. THE NEXT DAY AT THE OFFICE, MY ASSISTANT NAMED THE VEHICLE "CHRISTINE". ON APRIL 12, WHILE GETTING READY FOR CHURCH, I NOTICED MY FOOT LOOKED VERY DIRTY. IT WOULD NOT WASH OFF. MY BROTHER WAS VISITING AT THE TIME, SO I ASKED HIM TO TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL. THERE WAS LOTS OF SOFT TISSUE TRAUMA, SCARING, AND NERVE DAMAGE. ONE YEAR LATER, THE SCARS AND SOME NUMBNESS REMAIN.

OUR 2014 JEEP WAS RUNNING AND STATIONARY IN OUR GARAGE WITH MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF BESIDE THE JEEP WHEN IT SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, CRASHING OUT OF OUR GARAGE KNOCKING MY HUSBAND DOWN AND OUT, DRAGGING HIM OUTSIDE. IT HIT NUMEROUS LAWN MOWERS, WHEEL BARROWS AND FINALLY A LARGE TREE BEFORE STOPPING.

WHILE MY CARS ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE PARKED POSITION, I EXITED MY VEHICLE AND I SHUT MY DRIVERS DOOR. I WALKED 30 FT BEYOND REAR OF MY CAR (THREE OTHER PARTIES FOLLOWING ME IN THEIR OWN VEHICLES). WE ALL HAD A DISCUSSION ON EXACTLY WHERE WE WERE GOING. WE WERE ALL FOLLOWING EACH OTHER IN OUR OWN VEHICLES PARKED ALONG SAME SIDE WALK FACING THE SAME DIRECTION. WE HAD ALL EXITED OUR OWN RESPECTIVE VEHICLES AND MET IN THE STREET AND DISCUSSING THE EXACT LOCATION OF WHERE WE WERE GOING. WHILE IN DISCUSSION WITH THE OTHER THREE PARTIES WE ALL NOTICED THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN MY UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE IN REVERSE ON ITS OWN. I ATTEMPTED TO CHASE MY VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD ON FOOT TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I COULD NOT REACH BEFORE IT HIT AN ON COMING CAR, IT BOUNCED OFF THAT CAR AND PROCEEDED TO REST AGAINST A TREE ON A LAWN DOWN THE STREET ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. I NOT ONLY HAVE MYSELF AND THE OTHER THREE PARTIES FOLLOWING ME AS WITNESSES THAT MY VEHICLE MOVED INTO REVERSE AT A MINIMUM OF 30 SECONDS AFTER I HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE AND MOVED ON ITS ON. I ALSO HAVE A WITNESS OF A FIFTH PERSON WHO IS THE PERSON WHOM MY VEHICLE STRUCK THEIR VEHICLE THAT CAN ATTEST TO THIS UNOCCUPIED JEEP HAD MOVED IN REVERSE ON ITS OWN WELL AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED ON MY VEHICLE. HOW CAN YOU GET OUT OF A VEHICLE IN REVERSE WITHOUT FIGHTING THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT WOULD KNOCK YOU BACK INTO THE CAR? YOU CANT, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN MOVING BACKWARDS AND THE DRIVERS DOOR WOULD BE PUSHING YOU BACK INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE ON ITS OWN WITH THIS NEW DESIGN ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ITSELF INTO REVERSE WELL AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FIVE WITNESSES THAT WILL ATTEST THAT THIS JEEP MOVED ON ITS OWN, UNOCCUPIED, WELL AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE OF A MINIMUM OF 30 SECONDS AFTER I HAD EXITED IT.....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF

UPON EXITING, I VALIDATED MY JEEP WAS IN PARK ON THE SHIFTER. IT DID NOT MOVE WHEN I LET OFF THE BREAK (ON COMPLETE LEVEL GROUND), THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY WAS NOT PRESENT, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT CHIME WHEN EXITING TO SHOW THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN GEAR. I DID NOT HAVE THE EMERGENCY BREAK ACTIVATED. I WALKED 50 FEET TO MY MAILBOX AS I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING IN REVERSE TOWARDS MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. I RAN AFTER IT AS IT DROVE THROUGH MY NEIGHBOR'S LANDSCAPING AND WAS READY TO RUN INTO HIS GARAGE DOOR. I CAUGHT UP TO THE VEHICLE, JUMPED IN IT SIDEWAYS TO HIT THE BREAK, WAS THROWN OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT SLAMMED INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. HAD I NOT PARTIALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO FULL IMPACT, THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN EXTENSIVE. LUCKILY I JUST HAD MINOR CUTS AND BRUISES AND NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT, BUT THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER OF MY JEEP (STRESS MARKS AND PAINT DAMAGE) AND I HAD TO REPLACE MY NEIGHBOR'S FULL GARAGE DOOR. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO MY DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY (10/13/14) AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE ISSUE, HOWEVER, THEY HAD TO APPLY A TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT CONTROLLED DOWNSHIFTING GEAR RATIOS ABOUT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I FIND THIS IRONIC THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY TIMELY TRANSMISSION ISSUE. AS I HAVE SEEN MANY MORE CASES AND NEWS STORIES REPORTED ON THIS ISSUE, I WANTED TO ENSURE I REPORTED MINE TO HELP JEEP TAKE NEEDED ACTION TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES.

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SHIFT COMPLAINT I BEGAN EXPERIENCING ISSUES AFTER OWNING MY VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ON MANY OCCASIONS, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OR WILL ACT LIKE ITS TRYING TO BRAKE. HARSH SHIFTING WOULD OCCUR WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AND UPON STEPPING ON THE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WILL SLAM INTO GEAR. THERE ARE ALSO MANY INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL SKIP GEARS, STAY STUCK IN A GEAR, AND THE WORST SITUATION IS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT ITSELF DOWN OR PUT ITSELF INTO 2ND GEAR AND WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THAT GEAR AFTER KEY ON/OFF. THIS LAST SITUATION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS INCIDENT IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 7 TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY "RELEARNED" THE SOFTWARE, PERFORMED OTHER FCA "ACCEPTABLE" REPAIRS, REPLACED COMPONENTS AND TOLD US IT WAS FIXED. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SUPPOSEDLY "REPAIRED" AND RETURNED TO ME IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCES RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO BE DRIVEN SINCE THE GEAR SELECTOR WOULD JUST SLIDE FREELY BACK AND FORTH THROUGH ALL RANGES WITHOUT EVER ENGAGING; THESE 2 INSTANCES THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PICKED UP AND TOWED TO THE SERVICE REPAIR SHOP. I FEEL FCA IS TAKING A CHANCE WITH MY AND MY FAMILIES LIFE AND HAVE OFFERED ME A SMALL MONETARY SETTLEMENT TO CONSIDER MY ISSUE RESOLVED. I FIND THIS INSULTING THAT THIS IS THE VALUE THEY HAVE PLACED ON LIFE AND FRANKLY THE FACT IS I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE TO BE DRIVING IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE I AM GETTING THE PERSONAL ENJOYMENT AND FULL USE OF MY VEHICLE SINCE THERE IS AN UNDERLYING FEAR THAT IT COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN A FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. IS HARMING SOMEONE WHAT IT TAKES FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY?

Mileage: 50,000

I'VE HAD THE DEALER CHECK THE TRANSMISSION A FEW TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE 3/2014, MOSTLY DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION GIVING YOU A KICK IN THE BUTT-SO TO SPEAK, IF YOU HAVE SLOWED DOWN, BUT NOT STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AND THEN START TO ACCELERATE TO REGAIN SOME SPEED. THAT STILL OCCURS ON OCCASION. BUT THE NEWEST ISSUE IS THAT WHILE PULLING INTO MY GARAGE TO PARK WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, I'VE SLOWED VEHICLE TO PLACE IN "PARK" AND IT SEEMS TO GIVE A VERY SMALL, ALMOST GENTLE LURCH FORWARD. IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO HIT ANYTHING BUT YOU VAN DEFINITELY FEEL IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS.THANKFULLY I HAVEN'T HIT ANYTHING IN THE FRONT OF MY GARAGE-YET. I AM AT AROUND THE SPEED OF 1 OR 2 MPH WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 2 TIMES. I'M NOW MONITORING THE DASH TO SEE IF THIS IS THE CONSISTENT SPEED MPH IF IT OCCURS AGAIN.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN 2014 I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFTER. SEVERAL TIMES THAT I HAVE STOPPED MY CAR AND THOUGHT I HAD PLACED IT IN PARK TO GO OUT SIDE MY VEHICLE IT WAS NOT. SEVERAL TIMES WHILE EXITING THE CAR MY LEG WAS DRAGGED BENDING IT BACKWARDS THAT RESULTED IN A BRUISE. ONE TIME I ACTUALLY HAD TO CHASE AFTER MY CAR AS IT LURCHED FORWARD. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. JUST PUSHING THE SHIFTER FORWARD DOES NOT ALWAYS PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK THE GEAR SHIFT DISPLAY TO BE SURE THAT THE CAR IS IN PARK

OTHERWISE THIS IS THE BEST NEW CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. NO ACCIDENTS BUT I AM EXTRA CAREFUL WITH THIS GEAR SHIFT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CARE WITH THIS INNOVATION. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AT STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN / EXIT MODE. SCARY TO EXIT AUTO AND SOMEONE NOTIFY YOU LATER THAT THE AUTO ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING AND IN NEUTRAL. MODE. JERRY

I MOVED MY JEEP ON THE DRIVEWAY, AND BELIEVE I PLACED IT IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE ON WHILE GOING BACK IN THE HOUSE. WHEN I RETURNED OUTSIDE LESS THEN ONE MINUTE LATER, THE JEEP WAS ROLLING DOWN THE HILL BACKWARDS. IT WENT STRAIGHT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY BACKWARDS, ACROSS THE STREET, AND INTO THE REAR OF A CAR PARKED ACROSS THE STREET. I BELIEVE IT TOTALED THE OTHER VEHICLE AND DID APPROXIMATELY $1300 DAMAGE TO THE JEEP. I DID NOT FILE A POLICE REPORT, BUT THERE WAS AN INSURANCE CLAIM AGAINST MY INSURANCE FOR THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. I DID NOT SUBMIT A CLAIM FOR MY OWN INSURANCE AS THERE WAS A $1,000 DEDUCTIBLE. I JUST READ AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL IF THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK.

ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER IS DIFFICULT TO USE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS AND HAVE ALREADY UNINTENTIONALLY HAD MY VEHICLE ROLL FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IN AN ATTEMPT TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN "PARK" FROM "DRIVE," THE VEHICLE WAS ACCIDENTALLY SHIFTED INTO "REVERSE" DUE TO POOR OPERATOR FRIENDLINESS COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL SHIFTERS. SHIFTING THE VEHICLE FROM "NEUTRAL" HAS ALSO NOT REGISTERED CORRECTLY ON OCCASIONS DUE TO PREREQUISITES TO SHIFT OUT OF THAT GEAR (FOOT ON BRAKE AND BUTTON HELD DOWN). THE SHIFTER RELEASE BUTTON HAS VERY POOR FEEDBACK AND IS DIFFICULT TO USE AS WELL.

BOUGHT NEW IN APRIL 2013. SINCE THEN, JEEP HAS BEEN IN DEALERS SERVICE DEPT FOR MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, DOWN LOADS TO CONTROL MODULES AND FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS JUST FALLING OFF. RADIO WAS REPLACED, WIRING HARNESS REPLACED, MANY CONTROL MODULARS REPLACED, GENERATOR AND BATTERY REPLACED AND THE DEALER EVEN ADDED AN EXTRA NEGATIVE WIRE TO THE JEEP TO STOP THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM JUST TURNING OFF AND ON, ALTERING THE JEEPS DESIGN. MY JEEP THEN BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF CERTAIN CONTROLS, LIKE THE WIPERS WOULD JUST COME ON AND OFF, THE RADIO WOULD GO UP AND DOWN IN SOUND THEN THE WHOLE SCREEN WOULD GO BLACK, TURNING OFF ON ITS OWN, DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RADIO SYSTEM. RECENT REPAIRS WERE THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAVE BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITHIN MONTH OF PURCHASE. THE JEEP WOULD NOT GO HIGHER THE 2ND GEAR. DEALER HAD TO REMOVE CERTAIN CODES, REPLACE WITH NEW CODES AND REPROGRAM THE TCM CONTROL MODULE. THIS HAS BEEN DONE MANY TIMES. JUST LAST MONTH, THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS JUST BEGAN TO FALL APART. DEALER HAD TO SEND JEEP TO A BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THE JEEP IS IN MINT CONDITION AND AWAYS HAS. IT'S SERVICE RECORD IS PROOF OF PROPER MAINTEANCE ON SCHEDULE.

I TURNED MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 24,400 MILES INTO MY FAMILY DRIVEWAY AND STOPPED BEFORE THE DRIVEWAY GATE. I LEFT 24 BETWEEN THE JEEP AND THE GATE SO THAT PEDESTRIANS COULD PASS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS OPENING THE GATE. I PUT THE JEEP IN PARK AND WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND WHILE STILL SEATED BUT WITH MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, I REACHED OVER TO THE PASSENGERS SEAT TO GRAB MY BAG FOR THE KEY. AFTER FINDING THE KEY, I EXITED THE RUNNING VEHICLE KEEPING THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN. I WALKED AROUND THE OPEN DOOR, STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND UNLOCKED THE GATE. I THEN OPENED THE LEFT HALF OF THE GATE PUSHING IT ENTIRELY BACK TO THE WALL. I THEN PROCEEDED TO WALK BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE GATE TO OPEN THE RIGHT HALF OF THE GATE. I PULLED THE GATE ROD FROM THE HOLE IN THE GROUND SO I CAN MOVE THIS SECTION OF THE GATE, AND JUST AS I DID, THE JEEP BEGAN TO MOVE TOWARD ME HITTING THE FAR RIGHT GATE POST WITH THE RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS SHOCKED AND RAN BACK AROUND THE OPEN DRIVERS DOOR AND INTO THE CAR TO BACK IT AWAY FROM THE POST. WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE, I FOUND IT IN PARK, AND I SELECTED REVERSE TO BACK IT OFF THE GATE POST. FROM THE TIME I EXITED THE VEHICLE, IT WAS ABOUT 45 SECONDS BEFORE IT MOVED. IF I MISTAKENLY LEFT IT IN DRIVE, IT SHOULD HAVE BEGUN MOVING AS SOON AS I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REACHED ACROSS TO THE PASSENGERS SEAT FOR MY BAG. EVEN IF I MAINTAINED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT THAT TIME, IT SHOULD HAVE MOVED WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN 45 SECONDS TO MOVE. IF IT WAS PUSHED MISTAKENLY INTO NEUTRAL, THE CAR SHOULD HAVE MOVED WHEN I EXITED. FROM A TWO FOOT DISTANCE, IT SUSTAINED OVER $2500 IN DAMAGE. THE DAMAGE WAS NOT CAUSED BY A SIMPLE ROLL IN NEUTRAL. THE CAR ACCELERATED AS IF IT WERE IN DRIVE, ALTHOUGH THE DASHBOARD INDICATED PARK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE PROBLEM(S) THAT I HAVE HAD OR CURRENTLY HAVE WITH MY VEHICLE ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. JULY 8, 2015: (MILEAGE 12,453) CAR DASH LIGHTS WERE LIGHTING UP AND THEN THE ENGINE DIED LATER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. FINALLY THE CAR STARTED UP HOWEVER THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND I DROVE IT HOME IN LOW GEAR. ON JULY 9, 2015, I TOOK THE CAR INTO CAMPBELL CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN CENTRALIA WASHINGTON (SEE SERVICE SLIP) AND IT WAS RETURNED TO ME ON JULY 13, 2015. 2. JULY 15, 2015: AGAIN, THE CAR DASH LIGHTS WERE LIT UP AND THE CAR WAS STUCK IN LOW GEAR. I TURNED THE CAR INTO TO CAMPBELL CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT (SEE SERVICE SLIP) ON JULY 16, 2015. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON AUGUST 18, 2015. 3. AUGUST 24, 2015: AGAIN THE CAR DASH LIGHTS WERE LIT UP AND THE CAR STUCK IN LOW GEAR AND THE MOTOR WAS SURGING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO CAMPBELL CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON AUGUST 25, 2015. THE CAR WAS RETURNED ON AUGUST 28, 2015. 4. AUGUST 31, 2015: I DROVE TO SEATTLE AND AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SHIFTER LIGHTS WOULD FLASH AND SPEEDOMETER NUMBERS WOULD GO FROM LARGE FONT TO SMALL FONT. WHEN DASH LIGHTS AND WARNING LIGHTS PLUS DIFFERENT CHARACTERS FLASHED THEN THE ENGINE WOULD SURGE. CURRENTLY, THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO CAMPBELL CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2015 BECAUSE ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY. IM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR AND CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS MY FAMILIES. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR STALLED ON ME IT HAPPENED AT A STOP SIGN ON A TWO WAY HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE SURGING IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN WITH-OUT MY CAR OVER 43 PLUS DAYS AND HAVE BEEN GREATLY INCONVENIENCED.

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE ECO DIESEL OPTION. AT 7100 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE AND REFILL OF DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID INDICATOR ON DASH DISPLAYED INCORRECT DEF FLUID AND SERVICE DEF NEEDED OR VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART IN 200 MILES. IT TOOK A WEEK AND 1 BUSINESS DAY BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP COULD EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE DUE TO BACKUP IN SCHEDULING. AFTER THREE DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSIS WITH DPF CONVERTOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT, DEF SENSOR FAILURE, DEF INJECTOR FAILURE, AND O2 SENSOR FAILURE. AND THE PARTS WOULD TAKE 3 WEEKS JUST TO GET IN. TO ME THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 10000 MILES SHOULD NOT NEED THIS MANY REPAIRS WITH LONG DELAY JUST TO GET PARTS. IT SEEMS THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT PROPERLY ENGINEERED AND CANNOT MEET EMISSION STANDARDS LONG TERM. PLUS A VEHICLE THAT WILL TURN OFF AND NOT RESTART AT 200 MILES IS A DANGER TO A CONSUMER. JUST BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE PROBLEMS THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS OF 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ECO DIESEL WITH THE SAME ISSUES. AND THE PROBLEMS ARE NEVER REALLY RESOLVED , PERMANENTLY FIXED AND OCCUR AGAIN. IN MY OPINION FCA SHOULD BE MADE TO BUY BACK THESE VEHICLE AND REDESIGNED TO AT LEAST MEET 80000 MILES EMISSION STANDARD WITH REALISTIC DURABILITY. THE CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE TEST SUBJECTS ON A UNRELIABLE VEHICLE UNTIL FCA COMES UP WITH FIXES TO VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS. IN ADDITION SOME CONSUMERS ON INTERNET SITE HAVE BE TOLD TO IGNORE ENGINE PROBLEM INDICATOR LIGHT WARNING UNTIL FCA COMES UP WITH FIXES.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY AT 21,000 MILES, CONFIDENCE IN KNOWING YOU HAVE SELECTED THE CORRECT GEAR IS VERY LOW. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE, PARK OR REVERSE, YOU HAVE TO CHECK AT LEAST TWICE THAT YOU ARE IN THE CORRECT GEAR BEFORE TAKING THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS IN LATE JUNE 2015, WHEN I WAS TAKING MY DOG TO THE VET FOR AN EMERGENCY. I THOUGHT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. INDICATIONS SHOWED IT WAS IN PARK. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND THE CAR BEGIN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY IN REVERSE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO JUMP BACK IN AND STOP THE CAR BEFORE GETTING HIT BY THE OPEN DOOR, THIS TIME SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE ALSO. SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED TO MY SPOUSE AS SHE NOW HAS TO CHECK AT LEAST TWICE THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN ANY CORRECT GEAR. WE DID REPORT THIS TO DEALER BUT WITH LITTLE RESPONSE OTHER THAN LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN. WE CURRENTLY HAVE THREE OUTSTANDING RECALL NOTICES BUT ARE UNABLE TO GET DEALER TO SATISFACTORILY RESPOND BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS OR DID NOT CALL US BACK TO SET UP SERVICE APPOINTMENT.

I PULLED IN TO MY BROTHERS DRIVEWAY THERE WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND. PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED IT OFF AND EXITED THE CAR. IT STARTED ROLLING FORWARD SO I JUMPED BACK IN THE CAR AND PUT ON THE BRAKE THEN MOVED IT BACKWARDS A LITTLE AND EXITED THE CAR AGAIN. AGAIN CAR IN PARK AND SHUT OFF. I WALKED IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND FOUND MY BROTHER. ASI WAS WALKING BACK TO THE CAR, IT ROLLED FORWARD AGAIN ABOUT 8 FEET AND HIT MY NEPHEW'S CAR SENDING IT THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR. THE NEXT DAY I HAS THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. RESULTS FROM THE DEALER WERE NOTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD THE THE CARE HAD WHAT'S CALLED AND OPEN DIFFERENTIAL AND IF THE ON WHEEL SKIDDED THE CAR WOULD ROLL FORWARD. I TOLD THEM I HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING SO ABSURD AND THEIR COMMENT WAS THAT I NEEDED TO READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND MAKE SURE I USE THE PARKING BRAKE. I TALKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP OWNER AND TOLD HIM ABOUT IT. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS EITHER. I ASKED THAT HE TALK WITH HIS SALES PEOPLE AND HAVE THEM TELL THEIR BUYERS ANPBOUT THIS. I THEN TALKED WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT AT CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME SHE HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. AS A FOLLOW CHRYSLER SENT A SURVEY TO ME REGARDING THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE . I RECOUNTED THIS SITUATION AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER JEEP AND IF I COULD CANCEL THE LEASE RIGHT NOW I WOULD DO SO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD BEEN STANDING IN FRONT OF MY CAR JUST BEFORE IT ROLLED FORWARD. IN ADDITION, MY CAR INSURANCE PREMIUM WAS INCREASED BY $50 PER MONTH BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT?????? WHEN I DID NOTHING TO CREATE THE PROBLEM. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD WITH DANGERS LIKE THIS. PEOPLE COULD VERY EASILY BE KILLED OR VERY INJURED. I HAVE TOLD NUMEROUS PEOPLE NEVER TO BUY THIS CAR BECAUSE OF ITS DANGER.

I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. WHEN STEPPING OUT OF MY CAR, IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS, THE DOOR WAS OPEN SO IT KNOCKED ME TO THE GROUND AND I ROLLED TO GET OUT OF THE PATH OF THE WHEEL, ONLY GETTING MISSED BY SECONDS. I HAD PRETTY SEVERE BRUISING BUT I DID NOT SEE A DOCTOR. I ASSUME THE CAR WENT INTO REVERSE AS IT ROLLED BACKWARDS, BUT IT WAS A SLIGHT INCLINE SO IT MAY HAVE BEEN NEUTRAL. I WAS MOSTLY FOCUSED ON THE FACT MY CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS AT A GOOD RATE WITH MY 4 AND 1 YEAR OLD STILL INSIDE. THE CAR STOPPED AFTER JUMPING THE CURB AND TAKING OUT THE NEIGHBORS MAILBOX. I HONESTLY DIDN'T LOOK AT WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN ONCE STOPPED, I CHECKED ON MY CHILDREN AND QUICKLY MOVED IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I OF COURSE WAS IN PANIC MODE. IT DID $6004.69 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR, PLUS THE REPLACEMENT OF (2) CARSEATS AND A BRICK MAILBOX. I TOOK THE CAR IN A FEW MONTHS AGO FOR OTHER RECALLS AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE SITUATION AND THEY SAID "NO PROBLEM FOUND" OF COURSE. AFTER SEEING A REPORT FROM YOU ALL TODAY ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM IT PROMPTED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT, AS I DIDN'T KNOW YOU EXISTED. THE CAR HAS SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR SEVERAL OTHER TIMES IN PARKING LOTS, BOTH WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND TO MY HUSBAND AS WELL, BUT I AM VERY CAREFUL TO USE MY PARKING BREAK EVERY TIME I PARK THE CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT. ....UPDATED 04/25/16 *BF *CN

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK TODAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP ON MY DASH AND MY DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN IN SPEED BUT I WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER OR SLOWER. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING IN MY JEEP. I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE ON 5/515 AND IT WAS THERE UNTIL 6/8/15 FOR THESE SAME KIND OF PROBLEMS. ALL MY DEALERSHIP KEEPS DOING IS FLASHING THE SOFTWARE AND TELLING ME IT IS FIXED. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT GETTING FIXED. MY TRANSMISSION TAKES SO LONG TO SHIFT GEARS AND SOMETIMES GETS STUCK IN NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING, MY TIRES CONSTANTLY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SLIPPING AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD CHILD THAT RIDES IN MY JEEP EVERYDAY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING THEM IN IT. I HAVE TRIED TO CALL FCA AND THEY REFUSE TO TALK TO ME OR HELP ME WITH A RESOLUTION TO THESE PROBLEMS. I JUST WANT TO FEEL SAFE WHEN I AM DRIVING AND ALSO TO FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY CHILD IN MY VEHICLE AND AT THIS POINT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY GRAND CHEROKEE ANYMORE AND IT IS A SHAME.

AFTER MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT A FOUR WAY STOP, I BEGAN TRAVELING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT ABOUT 25 MPH. AFTER MAYBE 100 YARDS, THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AND THE ENGINE WAS REVVING, AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE SHIFT KNOB INDICATED THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, BUT IT WAS NO MOVING FORWARD. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAUGHT ME COMPLETELY OFF GUARD, AS SOMEONE AT THE FOUR WAY HAD WAVED ME TO GO BEFORE THEM, THE I UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I BEGAN APPLYING THE GAS MORE GENTLY, GOOD THING OR I WOULD HAVE JUMPED FORWARD, AND EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE LOW NUMBER OF MILES ON THE CAR IS BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE TWO BRAKE RECALLS ARE COMPLETED, AND NOW THIS.

THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND (MAY BE OTHER MODELS) HAS A FEATURE IDENTIFIED AS ECO. IT IS ACTUALLY A DASH BUTTON THAT MUST BE MANUALLY OVERRIDDEN EACH TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. THE FUNCTION IS (I SUPPOSE) A FUEL SAVING MODE, HOWEVER MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS IN THE JEEP BLOGS HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE IN THAT THE CAR REACTS IN A SLUGGISH MODE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND SHIFTS IN A MANNER NOT NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH SMOOTH DRIVING AS THE SHIFT POINTS ARE CHANGED FROM WHAT ONE WOULD CONSIDER NORMAL. IT APPEARS TO INJECT MORE AIR, LESS FUEL INTO THE FIRING PROCESS PRODUCING THE SLUGGISH DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I AND OTHERS HAVE SOUGHT RELIEF FROM THIS ( OPT OUT FUNCTION) FROM DEALERS, TO NO AVAIL. MANY DRIVERS, AS HAVE I, HAVE EXPRESS FEAR OF A POTENTIAL COLLISION WHEN THIS FEATURE IS ENGAGED. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE EPA, SEEKING IMPROVED ECONOMY AND THE HIGHWAY SAFETY BOARD SEEKING TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS FEATURE SHOULD BE MODIFIED TO BE AN "OPT IN" FEATURE TO BE POSSIBLY UTILIZED IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS NOT IN STOP AND GO AND MERGING TRAFFIC. *TR

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS ROLLED UNEXPECTEDLY ONCE THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN PUT INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I DROVE INTO A SLOPED DRIVEWAY. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO COMPOSE AN E-MAIL. MY FOOT CONTINUED TO BE ON THE BRAKE. A MINUTE OR SO LATER, WHEN I COMPLETED MY TASK, I OPENED THE DOOR AND BEGAN TO GET OUT, HAVING NOT PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AS IT WAS A GENTLE SLOPE, I DID NOT NOTICE THE CAR BEGINNING TO ROLL IMMEDIATELY, BUT ONCE OUTSIDE THE CAR I REALIZED IT WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. I TURNED AND GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, ALMOST FALLING IN THE PROCESS. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL RATHER THAN PARK, AS THE GEAR SHIFT IS ELECTRONIC, AND IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN FEEL FROM OLDER TRANSMISSIONS. BELIEVING THAT IT WAS MY ERROR, I DID NOTHING ABOUT THIS. THEN, OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND I WROTE TO JEEP VIA THEIR OWNER PORTAL, TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS REPORTED. ON DECEMBER 3RD, I SCHEDULED A SERVICE FOR FRIDAY DECEMBER 5TH. YESTERDAY, DECEMBER 4TH, I TOOK THE CAR TO A CAR WASH. THE ATTENDANT WAS DOING DETAIL WORK, AND AFTER TAKING IT THROUGH THE WASH, HE PARKED IT. I WALKED TOWARD THE CAR, AND HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR ONCE HE HAD PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. HE EXITED JUST AS I GOT TO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE CORNER. THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL AGAIN, AND WAS ON A SLOPE. HAD THE ATTENDANT NOT JUMPED BACK INTO THE CAR AND APPLIED THE BRAKE, BOTH OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN PINNED IN PLACE, ME BETWEEN THE DOOR AND A LARGE CEMENT PLANTER, AND HE BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE INTERIOR.

LUCKILY, I WEAR MY SEATBELT. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST AFTER THAT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WOULD REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID WITH A CAR THIS NEW, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO FIXING THE TRANSMISSIONS. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND DROVE IT 200 MILES. THEY SAID IT IS FIXED. I PICKED IT UP ON A MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24 AND DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY, I HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN. WHEN TURNING ON 4 LANE ROAD (2 IN ONE DIRECTION AND TWO IN ANOTHER), THE VEHICLE STARTED TO GO ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. IT APPEARED TO TRY TO SHIFT TO 2ND, BUT THE CAR STOPPED MOVING (LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL). I HAD TO START BLOWING THE HORN AS ONCOMING CARS WERE COMING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN NUMEROUS TESTS ON THE CAR AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THE CAR WAS READY. I HAVE SEVERE RESERVATION ABOUT GETTING BACK IN A VEHICLE THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN AND DRIVE IT AWAY WHEN I KNOW, THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS AND CHRYSLER KNOWS, THEY COULDN?T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY DIDN?T FIX ANYTHING. SO, BASICALLY, I WILL BE DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB THAT COULD BLOW UP AT ANY TIME. MY WIFE, KIDS AND GRANDKIDS COULD BE IN JEOPARDY AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A NOISE WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE AND THE DASH SAID THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE PUT INTO GEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT IS BACK AT THE GARAGE AGAIN TO BE FIXED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! WHEN I WAS AT THE SERVICE CENTER THE MANAGER SHOWED ME A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER THAT WAS DATED 11/2013 AND WAS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

AS YOU ACCELERATE THE DIESEL GRAND CHEROKEE AND IT REACHES 7TH GEAR, THE CAR STARTS SHUDDERING AS IF THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO "FALL APART". THIS ISSUE HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN IN 7TH AND 8TH GEAR. I'VE HAD TO USE THE PADDLE SHIFTERS TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN 6TH GEAR TO AVOID SUCH SHAKING IN THE HIGHWAY. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO AN EMPTY ROAD AND ACCELERATED TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND KEPT MY FOOT IN THE PETAL AND IT EVENTUALLY SETTLES DOWN AFTER 8TH GEAR.

WHILE ENTERING A BUSY INTERSTATE AND ACCELERATING FROM A STOP TO 65 MPH ON THE ONRAMP, THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DRIVE TRAIN BEGAN SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY AND WOULD NOT STOP. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING OVER SEVERE BUMPS IN THE ROAD YET THE SURFACE WAS FREE OF DEFECTS. I WAS DISORIENTED BY THE SHAKING SENSATION WHICH WOULD STOP IF I DECELERATE BUT RETURNED IMMEDIATELY WHEN ACCELERATING TO MERGE. I WAS FORCED OFF THE ROAD BY FASTER TRAFFIC AND MY INABILITY TO SPEED UP. I HAD TO STOP ON THE ROADSIDE AND ATTEMPT TO MERGE AGAIN WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED. MY RE-ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE CAUSED SHUDDERING AGAIN AT 45 MPH. I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I RESTARTED AND, ON MY THIRD ATTEMPT, ACCELERATED VERY AGGRESSIVELY WITH THE VEHICLE SHUDDERING AT 45 MPH UP TO 65 MPH. WHEN I QUITE ACCELERATING TH E SHUDDER QUIT. THIS VIOLENT DRIVE TRAIN SHUDDER HAS OCCURRED OFTEN SINCE THEN. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS OCCURS MOST OFTEN IN THE FIRST 10 MILES OF OPERATION AND I CAN MINIMIZE THE SHUDDER WHEN IT OCCURS BY ACCELERATING AT FULL THROTTLE WHICH IS UNSAFE. MY ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME ISSUE IN VARIOUS AUTO FORUMS. I HAVE HAD MY JEEP DEALER APPLY SERVICE UPDATES AND TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT JEEP HAS YET TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS RIDICULOUS IN A NEW CAR AND IS A DRIVE ABILITY AND SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

Mileage: 9,250

TRANSMISSION WILL SHUDDER WHILE ACCELERATING MAKING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX IT. RESEARCH HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS IMPACTING MANY OTHER JEEP'S ON THE ROAD TODAY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS REMEDIED. *TR

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED TWICE, HE ENCOUNTERED A SERIOUS PROBLEM. WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED. HE TRIED PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY MOVE AT A CRAWL. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JULY 31, 2014, THE CONSUMER WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, WHEN THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THERE WERE SOME WIRES THAT RUBBED AGAINST SOMETHING THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL. *JB

TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP AFTER STARTING, UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR, AND MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT "MIL" IS ILLUMINATED. IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE IT MUST BE SHUT OFF AND ON, SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONE TIME. AFTER 4 INCIDENTS, JEEP GC WAS BROUGHT TO LOCAL SERVICE DEPT. WHERE SEVERAL FLASH UPDATES WERE PERFORMED TO VEHICLES COMPUTER AND VALVE BODY PUMP BOX WAS ORDERED. JEEP WAS RETURNED FOR SERVICE 3 WEEKS LATER WHERE TRANSMISSION PUMP BOX WAS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION RE-TRAINED. SINCE THEN THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ADDITIONALLY, NOW THE DIESEL EXHAUST REGENERATION COMES ON EVERY 30-40 MILES WHERE THE CAR MUST CONTINUE TO BE RUN UNTIL REGEN HAS COMPLETED, NO CHANGES HAD BEEN MADE TO DRIVING HABITS AND PRIOR TO TRANSMISSION WORK REGEN HAD NEVER NEEDED TO COME ON. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE JEEP GC CAN MOVE WHEN THE MIL AND LOCKED SHIFTER OCCUR AS THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ONLY IN FLAT AREAS (MOSTLY HOME GARAGE), HOWEVER THIS COULD BE A DEADLY ISSUE IF PARKED ON HILL AND IF VEHICLE TRANSMISSION IS NOT LOCKING GEARS AND CAN MOVE FORWARD OR BACK. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THIS IS THE CASE BUT CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. VEHICLE IS GOING BACK IN FOR SERVICE AND TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. BASED ON RESEARCH ONLINE IT WOULD APPEAR TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THE 2014 JEEP GC ARE WIDESPREAD AND EVEN AFTER REPAIRS ARE PERFORMED THE VEHICLE NEVER DRIVES PROPERLY OR AS IT DID PREVIOUSLY AND USUALLY HESITATES, SHIFTS HARD OR JERKS FORWARD WHICH IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS AS IT SEEMS TO BE SPORADIC AND UNPREDICTABLE FOR DRIVERS. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS SUV FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR. ON MULTIPLY INSTANCES I HAVE THOUGHT TO HAVE PUT THIS TRUCK IN PARK, BUT IT HAS EITHER GONE INTO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE. IT COMES WITH AN ELECTRONIC SHIFTER. BECAUSE IT IS ELECTRONIC IT HAS THE SAME POSITION IN ANY AND ALL OF THE FOUR DESIRED GEARS. FURTHER COMPLICATING THE PROCESS OF MAKING SURE THE TRUCK IS IN THE DESIRED GEAR IS THAT THE ONLY WAY TO TELL WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN IS BY AN ILLUMINATED SHIFTER WITH LETTERS P R N D/S ... WHEN IT VERY SUNNY OR YOU HAVE THE SUNROOF SHADE OPEN IT IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT. HAVING THE SUNROOF OPEN ON A SUNNY DAY(DIFFERENT THAN JUST THE SHADE OPEN) IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!! I BELIEVE SOMETHING TRAGIC WILL OCCUR EVENTUALLY IF THIS NOT CORRECTED. IT WONT WITH ME BECAUSE I AM VERY AWARE OF THE SITUATION. BUT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL NOT BE AS AWARE OF IT AS I AM! I HAVE THE SAME TRUCK IN 2009 AND IT DOES NOT OPERATE IN THAT METHOD. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY OTHER VEHICLES OPERATE MANNER BUT I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER ONE AND THOUGHT OTHERS DESERVED THIS INFORMATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING UP A GRADE AT 50 MPH, VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE/SHUDDER/VIBRATE. I HAD TO TRAMP THE ACCELERATOR TO ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION TO WORK THROUGH THE SITUATION.

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I STARTED THE FIRST LEG OF A 2000 MILE ROAD TRIP COMPRISING OF HIGHWAY AND WINDING RURAL ROADS. DURING A WINDING MOUNTAINOUS SECTION OF THE JOURNEY I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING I THOUGHT TO BE POSSIBLY A FBRUSH FIRE OR SOMETHING BURNING IN THE LOCALE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH. LATER DURING ANOTHER SECTION OF STOP AND GO DRIVING I STARTED TO SMELL IT AGAIN, AND NOTICED SOME BRAKE FADE AS WELL. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS LEG OF THE TRIP I USED THE PADDLE SHIFTERS TO REDUCE MY BRAKE USE. UPON A FUEL STOP BEFORE ENDING THE DAY'S TRAVEL, I NOTICED A THICK LAYER OF GREASE COATING THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL. I DID A INTERNET SEARCH TO SEE IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FIND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT A JEEP DEALER FOR SERVICE. HOPEFULLY JEEP CAN REMEDY THIS SEEMINGLY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 1,000

BOTH CV AXLE BOOTS LEAKED ALL THE GREASE OUT. HAD THE AXLES REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS FROM THE MFG, AND BOTH BOOTS LEAKED AGAIN AFTER ONLY 475 MILES OR LESS. APPEARS THAT THE BANDS ON THE BOOTS ARE NOT TIGHT ENOUGH, OR THE BOOTS MAY BE TOO SHORT. THEY SEEM TO PULL APART IF WHEELS ARE STEERED CLOSE TO MAXIMUM RADIUS. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE GREASE IS SLUNG ALL OVER THE WHEELS AND ONTO THE FRONT DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. THIS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKES OR SEVERE BRAKING ISSUES THAT CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT TOLD ME NO RECALL IS CURRENT. THEY CALLED MY DEALER IN WILMINGTON NC, AND I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE. THESE WILL BE THE THIRD SET OF CV AXLES. THE JEEP FORUMS ONLINE ARE FULL OF THIS ISSUE. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES BUILT AROUND MARCH/APRIL 2014. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH A RECOGNIZED APPROVED FIX. THERE ARE PROBABLY SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS AND THE OWNERS ARE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT REQUIRES YOU TO LOOK FOR IT. DANGEROUS. *TR

VEHICLE LOST ALL FORWARDED SPEED (ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING), TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARDED. MY JEEP WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY DIFFERENT EIGHTEEN WHEELERS, CARS, AND PICKUPS WHILE TRYING TO GET THE JEEP OFF THE HIGHWAY TO A MORE SAFE SPOT. MY FAMILY AND I WHERE PUT IN GREAT DANGER BECAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN I LEFT THE JEEP IN PARK AND WALKED IN FRONT OF IT, AT WHICH TIME THE JEEP BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARDED HITTING ME, IF IT WERE NOT FOR MY WIFE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND PUSHING THE SHIFTER UP, I WOULD HAVE BEEN RAN OVER. THE SHIFTER IS NOT SUPPOSED TO MOVE WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKE (A MAJOR PROBLEM EXISTS SOMEWHERE). THE THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN WE ENTERED THE HIGHWAY WITH THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH, THE JEEP WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FASTER THAN 38 MPH. AGAIN MY FAMILY WAS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER BECAUSE OF THE HILLY TERRAIN AND THE TRAFFIC RUNNING UP ON US AT 70 MPH. WE FOUND OURSELVES HAVING TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PLACING OURSELVES IN ANOTHER DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGE PROPERLY AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE JEEP TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THE JEEP HAD ALREADY BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE FRONT DRIVE AXLE. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOP, THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO CHECK OUT THE TRANSMISSION TO CORRECT WHAT HAD HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME THE JEEP STOPPED RUNNING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MY FAMILY WAS LUCKY THAT WE DID NOT HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. I FEEL THAT AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE INITIATED QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE OR SOME FAMILY DIE IN A FATAL CRASH BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

DURING A VACATION TRIP, WE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A REMOTE MOUNTAIN ROAD TURN-OUT AREA TO TAKE A SCENIC PHOTO. RETURNED TO VEHICLE, STARTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES AND WHAT METHODS WERE USED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ONLY POP-BACK INTO PARK. ON SAFECAR.GOV, I NOTED PREVIOUS 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE COMPLAINTS CONCERNED WITH THE TRANSMISSION POPPING ONLY INTO NEUTRAL; BUT, FOR US IT WAS POPPING ONLY INTO PARK. THE TOWING COMPANY DID OVER $3,000 WORTH OF FRONT-END DAMAGE TO VEHICLE IN ATTEMPTING TO TOW IT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS FROZEN IN PARK. ON THE SAME TRIP, THE DASHBOARD CONTROLS WOULD GO COMPLETELY DARK ON AN APPARENT INFREQUENT RANDOM BASIS. WE ALSO NOTED CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH UNEXPECTED AND OR APPARENTLY RANDOM UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATIONS BEYOND DRIVER'S EXPECTATIONS OR IMMEDIATE CONTROL. BOTH OF THESE WHICH FRIGHTENED US. ANOTHER STRANGE THING WE NOTED WAS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CHANGED GEAR (PRIMARILY IN LOWER GEARS), THE VEHICLE JERKED IN A ROUGH MANNER BEYOND WHAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER MODERN VEHICLES. *TR

Mileage: 5,450

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RELIABLY SELECT THE PARK POSITION AND IN GENERAL IT IS VERY AWKWARD TO SELECT ANY GEAR WITHOUT PUTTING INTO THE WRONG GEAR, REVERSE FOR FORWARD, NEUTRAL FOR REVERSE, ETC , . ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS APPARENTLY PUT IN PARK IT SUDDENLY ROLLED AWAY IN REVERSE GEAR. IT WAS THEN VERY DIFFICULT TO SELECT THE PARK POSITION TO STOP THE VEHICLE . THE SUDDEN MOVEMENT IN REVERSE ALMOST CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HIT ANOTHER CAR. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON AT LEAST FIVE OCCASIONS. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT OUTER CV JOINT BOOT SLIPPED DUE TO AN IMPROPERLY-INSTALLED BOOT CLAMP AND THE GREASE FROM THE JOINT MIGRATED TO THE BRAKE SPLASH GUARD, SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, AND INSIDE OF THE WHEEL ON THAT SIDE. NO GREASE APPARENT ON THE BRAKE ROTOR AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER THE DEALER, GRAPEVINE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, IN GRAPEVINE, TX, HAS INSTRUCTED ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THEM FOR SERVICE IN A FEW DAYS. ANY GREASE ON THE BRAKE ROTOR COULD CAUSE A BRAKE FAILURE ON THAT SIDE (LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL) AND WOULD REQUIRE SOME PARTS TO BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES MANUFACTURED IN MARCH AND APRIL OF 2014, HOWEVER THE DEALER'S SERVICE ADVISOR WHOM I SPOKE WITH APPEARS TO BE UNAWARE OF THE TREND AND LARGELY IGNORANT OF THE DANGER THAT IT PRESENTS. *TR

THE VEHICLE SLIPPED INTO "MANUAL SHIFT MODE" SEEMINGLY ON IT'S OWN NOT ALLOWING THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AFTER I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. IT WAS THEN STUCK IN 2ND GEAR (8 SPEED TRANSMISSION) AND THE TACHOMETER WENT TO REDLINE (OVER 6500 RPM)AS I WAS EXPECTING TO INCREASE TO NORMAL DRIVING SPEED. THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR IT COULD HAVE LEFT ME IN THE ONCOMING LANE TOO LONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND I AM TOLD THIS IS MANUAL MODE AND NORMAL BEHAVIOR. THE PLACEMENT OF THE MANUAL SHIFT PADDLES ON THE STEERING WHEEL MAKE IT CONVENIENT TO EXTEND A FINGER AND SHIFT UP OR DOWN. THIS PLACEMENT ALSO MEANS YOU REPEATEDLY GO INTO MANUAL SHIFT MODE WHEN YOU DO NOT WANT TO. WHEN TURNING LEFT ACROSS A FEW LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC IT CAN BE DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO WAY TO PREVENT THIS AS THE SHIFT PADDLES ARE ACTIVE ALL OF THE TIME AND ANY TOUCH PUTS YOU IN MANUAL AND THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO PULL BACK ON THE CONSOLE SHIFT LEVER AND SWITCH TO SPORT MODE THEN AGAIN TO DRIVE MODE WHICH IS WHERE I STARTED OR CONTINUE MANUALLY SHIFTING. WHILE MANUAL SHIFTING IS AN OPTION THAT MAY BE NEEDED WHEN "4 WHEELING" OVER ROCK OR IN MUD ETC., THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO SELECT IT WHEN WANTED AND NOT HAVE IT POP IN AT RANDOM. ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS SOME PROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION TO REQUIRE THAT BOTH SHIFT PADDLES BE HELD DOWN FOR A FEW SECOND UNTIL THE DISPLAY SAYS "MANUAL SHIFT MODE ON" BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION IS ALLOWED TO SHIFT USING THE PADDLES. IT COULD BE TURNED OFF IN THE SAME MANNER. NO PARTS OR EXTRA HARDWARE NEEDED, JUST PROGRAMMING. *TR

AS OF YESTERDAY I HAVE HAD MY 2014 GRAND CHEROKEE FOR 1 YEAR. I BOUGHT IT WITH 6 MILES ON IT BRAND NEW. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 16 TIMES FOR NUMEROUS ISSUES. 4 OF WHICH WAS RELATED TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE 3 FLASH UPDATES FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND NONE OF THE ADDRESSED HE PROBLEM. THE ROUGH SHIFTING, JERKING OF THE VEHICLE AND EXTREMELY HIGH RUNNING RPM'S MUST BE DOING FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE POWER TRAIN. THERE IS NO SMOOTH SHIFTING FROM 1-2-3 NOR IS THERE FROM 3-2-1. GETTING ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY IS ALWAYS INTERESTING. TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE FEELS BOGGED DOWN AND TAKES SOME TIME TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. YOU ARE GIVING IT GAS AND IT JUST IS STUCK IN 3-4 OR 5TH GEAR AND YOU ARE PUTTING ON THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO GET ON AND THEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE TRANSMISSION UNLEASHES AND THE CAR JUST TAKES OFF. GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY ON AN EXIT RAMP ANY TIME OF SLOW DOWN (FAST OR GRADUALLY) THE CAR JUST WHINES AND THE RPM'S ARE WAY IN THE RED, SINCE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY. AGAIN BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD IT TO ME FOR ALL THE FLASH UPDATES AND ANOTHER VISIT TO SAY IT IS STILL NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND THEY TOLD ME TO RUN IT IN SPORT MODE OR TURN OFF THE ECO BUTTON. WELL WHAT GOOD IS GIVING YOU THE OPTION FOR A ECO BUTTON AND CAN'T EVEN USE IT....NOT TO MENTION IT REALLY DOESN'T ADDRESS THE UNDERLINING PROBLEM WITH THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH HE CAR, JEEP AND THE DEALER DUE TO THEIR LACK OF SUPPORT. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS NEW RELEASED VEHICLE AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX IT UNTIL SOMEONE UNFORTUNATELY GETS HURT FROM FAULTY OPERATION OF THE POWER TRAIN.

I HAVE OWNED A NEW 2014 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED V6 FOR SIX MONTHS AND HAVE EXPERIENCED ROUGH SHIFTING WITH MY TRANSMISSION FROM DAY 1. THE TRANSMISSION IS ESPECIALLY ROUGH WHEN COLD AND/OR SHIFTING FROM 1->2->3 AND 2->1 DOWNSHIFTS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO JEEP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR A FIX, THE DEALER RECOGNIZES THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING SMOOTH OR CORRECT, BUT SAYS UNTIL THERE'S A FIX OR UPDATE FROM JEEP, THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO SPEND $45K ON A NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS "JERKY" TRANSMISSION SHIFTING, TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT USE MY VEHICLE WITH BUSINESS CLIENTS DUE TO THE HARSH RIDE. I'VE BEEN ON MULTIPLE JEEP FORUMS AND BASED ON THE NUMBER OF POSTINGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THE DISCONTENT IS WIDESPREAD AMONG JEEP OWNERS AND FANS.

I HAVE A LONG NARROW DRIVEWAY WITH A BIT OF A SLOPE TOWARD THE HOUSE. WHEN GOING OUT THE DRIVEWAY I SEEN A TRASH CONTAINER TIPPED OVER. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, LETTING IT IDLE, WHILE I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE THE CONTAINER. LOOKING BACK I SEEN THE JEEP BACKING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TOWARD THE HOUSE UNDER IT'S OWN POWER. I TRIED CATCH IT,BUT IT HIT THE SIDE OF THE HOME ON A GARAGE WALL. TOTAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE IS AROUND $9400 I'VE YET TO GET THE HOUSE DAMAGE ESTIMATE BACK. I DIDN'T SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK OR REVERSE WHEN I EXITED. I PUSHED THE SHIFTER CLEAR FORWARD TILL IT STOPPED, THEN EXITED. THE SHIFTER HAS TO GO THRU REVERSE BEFORE IT GETS TO PARK. IN THE PAST I'VE NOTICED THAT IT DID NOT ALWAYS GO INTO PARK WHEN I HAD PUT IT THERE. I DRIVE LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE DRIVE. I HAVE 55+ YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. WE SHIFT BY FEEL AND NOT ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN AT THE SHIFTER. WHEN A SHIFT LEVER GOES THRU THE MOTION FORWARD AND STOPS, WE EXPECT IT TO BE IN PARK, NOT REVERSE. THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE VEHICLE. I LOVE THE NEW 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION, BUT DON'T TRUST THE SHIFTING MECHANISM. MY WIFE IS VERY RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY SEEM CONCERNED AND ARE WANTING TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE WHEN REPAIRED. HOWEVER, I'M NOT CERTAIN, HEARING ABOUT OTHER ISSUES WITH VEHICLES, WHETHER THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO BLOW SMOKE UNTIL I QUITE DOWN. I DID OBTAIN A LEG INJURY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. NOT SERIOUS, BUT SURELY COULD HAVE BEEN. HAD THERE BEEN A CHILD, PET OR OTHER PERSON BEHIND THE VEHICLE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER THAT WORKS FOR STATE FARM INSURANCE. THEY'VE ALSO HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THERE'S NOT DETENT IN THE SHIFTING, IT JUST GOES FORWARD AND STOPS. ALL ELECTRONIC, NOT MECHANICAL AS THEY USED TO BE.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WHEN ONE TURNS A CORNER AND THE PADDLE SHIFTER IS IN ADVERTENTLY TOUCHED THE CAR CAN DROP INTO ANY GEAR AND CAN SLOW SO THAT ONE STANDS A RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED AS HAS NARROWLY HAPPENED TO ME . THERE IS A REAL NEED TO PREVENT THIS DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR TO HAVE A PREVENTER MECHANISM OF SOME SORT TO PREVENT THIS BY REPROGRAMMING THE SOFTWARE OR BY MECHANICAL MEANS BY INSTALLING A SWITCH OF SOME SORT THAT MUST BE SEPARATELY ENGAGED TO TRANSFER CONTROL OF GEAR TO THE PADDLE SHIFTER. *TT

DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE FREEWAY WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED ON ITS OWN, MIL ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING SEVERELY RESULTING IN DRASTIC LOSS OF POWER AND VEHICLE SPEED IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. ROLLED VEHICLE TO SHOULDER AND NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID COATING THE ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS ALL OVER THE GROUND UNDER THE VEHICLE. DEALER DIAGNOSIS WAS AN IMPROPERLY ROUTED AT THE FACTORY TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE THAT WAS IN CONTACT WITH THE DRIVELINE CAUSING THE LINE TO WEAR THROUGH AND LEAK TRANSMISSION FLUID. WHILE THERE WASN'T A FIRE, ONE COULD EASILY HAVE STARTED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OIL CONTACTED HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS NEAR THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INDEPENDENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNINGS. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING UP TO STANDARDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE ON A COLD MORNING AFTER LEAVING HOUSE AND STOPPING ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM HOME. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST AND REMAINED IN 7TH GEAR. WHEN ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED FROM STOPLIGHT THE VEHICLE BOGGED AND WOULD HARDLY MOVE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED HOME AND THREE HOURS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO CODE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHEN IT WAS CHECKED AT 11:00 AM THAT DAY. *TR

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY NOTICED UPON RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE, THAT IT DID NOT DRIVE SMOOTHLY AND LACKED POWER DURING ACCELERATION. HOWEVER, SHE FELT IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF FAMILIARITY WITH THE VEHICLE. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE DETERIORATED TO A POINT WHERE A PROBLEM WAS EVIDENT. FREQUENTLY, NOT ALL THE TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE AND OCCASIONALLY NOT RESPOND AT ALL FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS AS THE RPM'S WENT UP. IT FELT AS THE THOUGH, SHE WAS FORCING THE GAS BY PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE GAS WAS BLOCKED FROM FLOWING, OR THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN A LOW GEAR AND NOT UP-SHIFTING. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WITH ONLY 1,231 MILES. THE CONSUMER HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALER, SEVERAL MORE TIMES, DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING. *JB

SOON AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF THIS VEHICLE (9/27/13) I NOTICED THAT NOW AND AGAIN (4/5 TIMES) THERE WOULD BE A HESITATION FROM THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING TO THE NEXT HIGHER GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED. IT WAS SO SUBTLE THAT I FILED IT UNDER "NOTHING IS PERFECT", BUT WOULD KEEP SCORE. DON'T BE MISLED BY THE LOW MILEAGE ABOVE. THAT IS MY NEW NORMAL. A HEAD AND NECK INJURY IN 2001 FOLLOWED BY A LONG OVERDUE DIAGNOSIS OF SEVERE PTSD BY THE VA LEFT ME PRACTICALLY A "HOUSE HERMIT" AND DRIVING ANYWHERE INVOLVING DISTANCE REQUIRES HIRING A DRIVER. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN MY BEING ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE WOODS WITH A 911 BUTTON ATTACHED TO KEEP THE P/A IN CHECK. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS THAT FROM A STOP SIGN I TURNED ONTO THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO 55 WHEN AT ABOUT 50 THE TRANSMISSION HUNG, THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT RELEASE TO THE NEXT GEAR, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STRUGGLE UNTIL IT ALMOST STALLED. AS UNEXPECTEDLY AS IT HAD HUNG THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED, THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RECOVERED ""WITH A ROAR"" AND OFF WE WENT. (EXTRA RPM'S, ? COMPUTER/FUEL PUMP SAW NO PROBLEM) I'M SURE THAT IN THOSE SECONDS MY SPEED DROPPED 20 MPH'S WITH NO "WARNING", SUCH AS BRAKE LIGHTS HAD SOMEONE BEEN BEHIND ME. HAD THIS OCCURRED ENTERING A BUSY BELT-WAY, INTERSTATE, ETC., YOU CAN IMAGINE THE POSSIBLE MAY-HEM. DID SOME RESEARCH, GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD (AS EXPECTED FROM RESEARCH) THEIR COMPUTER SAW NO ABNORMALITIES AND SHOWED ME A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER TO PROVE IT. ASKED THEM TO SIGN A PIECE OF PAPER SAYING MY DRIVETRAIN WAS "JUST WONDERFUL" AND REAFFIRMING THAT CHRYSLER HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS JUST IN CASE I OR OTHERS WOUND UP DEAD OR MAIMED FROM "NO PROBLEMS". I NOW HAVE A "MORAL PROBLEM" SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS. *TR

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 2 WEEKS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GIVES A "POWER STEERING WARNING" AND ALL HYDRAULIC ASSISTANCE FAILS. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF THIS HAPPENING, THE ENGINE ALSO GETS HOT. I LIVE N THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY. THIS FAILURE RESULTS A LARGE INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT ON THE LOCAL HILLY AND CURVED ROADS AND THE ABILITY TO TAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS IF SOME OF THE MANY LOCAL WILD ANIMALS CROSS THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER IN TRAFFIC UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A STOP. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM DUE TO IT'S INTERMITTENT NATURE. SO FAR, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD AIR SUSPENSION FAILURES, POWER STEERING FAILURES, AND " DUE NOT SHIFT TRANSMISSION" FAILURES AND HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK RELATED TRAVEL THROUGHOUT MULTIPLE STATES SO IT GETS DRIVEN OFTEN. *TR

THE DRIVER PULLED THE AUTOMOBILE INTO A DRIVEWAY ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE. THE DRIVER SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF USING THE PUSH BUTTON START/STOP. THE DRIVER RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE 10 MINUTES LATER, WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE DRIVER STARTED THE VEHICLE (FOOT ON BRAKE AS REQUIRED) USING PUSH BUTTON START/STOP. THE DRIVER ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE USING THE SHIFTING LEVER (WITH FOOT STILL ON BRAKE AS IS REQUIRED BY THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK (BTSI) SYSTEM). WHEN ENGAGED IN REVERSE, THE ENGINE REVVED TO A HIGH LEVEL, AND THE CAR TRAVELED IN REVERSE UP THE HILL (DRIVEWAY), THROUGH THE STREET, AND INTO A DITCH. SIDE AND FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. DRIVER BELIEVES THEY NEVER TOOK FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THE BRAKING WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO OVERCOME TORQUE OF THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE DAMAGE INCLUDES AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, CABIN ROOF LINER DETACHMENT, THREE BENT WHEELS, MINOR DAMAGE TO MUFFLER, MINOR BODY DAMAGE.

VEHICLE IS SLOW WHEN SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS; PULLING AWAY FROM STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS NOT IN DRIVE AND GOING TO STALL. THIS COULD RESULT IN BEING REAR ENDED SINCE SO MANY DRIVERS SPEED AWAY WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN. IT SEEMS LIKE IT STUTTERS DURING SHIFTING. HAVING IT IN ECO-MODE HIGHLIGHTS THE ISSUE FURTHER. THE DOWN SHIFTING AT HIGHER SPEEDS FEELS LIKE A STICK SHIFT CAR, NOT NORMAL OR COMFORTABLE. EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY ACCELERATION IS OFTEN NOT VERY RESPONSIVE DURING ENTRANCE AND PASSING. THE GAS PEDAL IS VERY TOUCHY, NO WAY TO PULL AWAY SLOWLY, JUST TAKES OFF; THIS MIGHT BE PART OF THE ISSUE, CONFUSING THE SENSORS DURING SHIFTING. I CONTACTED MY SALES PERSON WHO SAID HE'D HAVE A SERVICE TECH CONTACT ME, NO CALLS YET. I WISH I HAD CHECKED THIS SITE AND EDMUNDS BEFORE BUYING, AS I WOULD HAVE CHOSE A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER. THIS IS MY 4TH JEEP GR CHEROKEE, UNFORTUNATELY THE LEAST DESIRABLE, MY '09 HAD ZERO ISSUES AND ORIGINAL BRAKES AT TRADE IN WITH OVER 105,000 MILES; '14 IS LIKELY MY LAST. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED FOR $46,000 FROM DOTHAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 17TH, 2013. WE DROVE OFF THE AT 8:30 P.M. THAT EVENING. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 19TH, AT APPROXIMATELY 4:00 P.M. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER HAVING JUST LEFT MY JOB AT THE WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF' OFFICE, WHERE I AM THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER, MY VEHICLE'S SCREEN FLASHED A WARNING THAT READ: VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT MALFUNCTION. THE SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE. WHEN IT CAME BACK ON THE SCREEN READ: PLEASE SERVICE TRANSMISSION FOLLOWED BY TURN OFF IGNITION TO ENGAGE PARK. I TRIED TO TURN OFF IGNITION, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND THE WARNING THEN READ: VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK TO TURN OFF IGNITION. THIS ENDLESS CIRCLE CONTINUED AS I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AT A GAS STATION PARKING LOT. I SAT IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE GAS STATION FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MINUTES WHERE I DOCUMENTED (VIA CELLPHONE CAMERA) THE REPEATED MESSAGES AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN MY ENGINE OFF AND SIMULTANEOUSLY ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE GEARS WOULD NOT DISPLAY. THERE WAS NO WAY TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, OR WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN AT ALL. AFTER STRUGGLING WITH THE VEHICLE FOR CLOSE TO 7 MINUTES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP (AS NOTED ABOVE) IMMEDIATELY. I WAS ASSURED BY THE SALESMAN THAT THIS "HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO JEEPS". THIS WAS MY FIRST MAJOR CONCERN WITH NOT ONLY THE VEHICLE, BUT ALSO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE A FULL TEAM OF CERTIFIED MECHANICS THAT WORK FOR OUR OFFICE. I MET WITH EACH OF THEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT A COMMON THING FOR ANY VEHICLE. MY CRUISE CONTROL IS NOW COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. *TR
