2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE ALTERNATOR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS AND LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY.

THE AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT ON MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE DEALER'S SERVICE WRITER IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT 85% OF THE TIME WHEN THE A/C GOES OUT IN THIS VEHICLE IT'S THE EVAPORATOR INSIDE THE CAR BEHIND THE DASH. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION BY THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN THAT'S WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF THEY REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR WITH THE SAME PART AND HE SAID NO, THEY NOW USE A DIFFERENT SKU REPLACEMENT EVAPORATOR. OBVIOUSLY, JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS MADE CHANGES TO FIX IT. HOWEVER, IN MY CASE JEEP WON'T PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT SAYING MY VEHICLE WITH 45,000 MILES IS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD. IT'S MY POSITION THAT JEEP USED A DEFECTIVE EVAPORATOR IN THE FIRST PLACE AND IT'S ONLY MY BAD LUCK THAT IT DID NOT START LEAKING FREON SOONER. APPARENTLY THE EVAPORATOR IS NOT *THAT* EXPENSIVE BUT IT IS LOCATED IN A DIFFICULT LOCATION TO GET TO, BEHIND THE DASHBOARD, AND THAT MAKES IT AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR ($1,680). I BELIEVE JEEP/CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AT A MINIMUM, AND FAILING THAT, A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT INTO EFFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ABS, CHECK ENGINE, AND BATTERY INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DALLAS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (11550 LYNDON B JOHNSON FWY, DALLAS, TX 75238) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND BURNED THE WIRE THAT WENT TO THE BATTERY, WHICH ALSO CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

ALTERNATOR SEIZED ON THE CAR AFTER ONLY 33,000 APPROX. THE VEHICLE IS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY. JEEP WILL NOT FIX AND SAYS IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER RECALL P60/ NHTSA 14 -634 EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUES DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL ARE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. I CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND FCA AND NEITHER ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME OR DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'M TOLD PER MY VIN NUMBER THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE FAULTY ALTERNATOR YET IT HAS THE EXACT PROBLEMS OF THE RECALLED ONE FROM THE SAME YEAR. ISSUE DESCRIPTION- I WAS DRIVING FROM NASHVILLE TN TO NAPERVILLE IL AND APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS FROM NAPERVILLE I STOPPED FOR GAS AND A BREAK AND UPON STARTING THE CAR THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO NAPERVILLE IL AND UPON EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER. IT SOUNDED LIKE A VACUUM CLEANER AND NOT LIKE A NORMAL ENGINE. I KEEP DRIVING AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. AS I PULLED IN I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE BRAKES. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. UPON TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC, THEN TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE ALTERNATOR SEIZED AND DAMAGED THE BATTERY AND BELT. THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT IT AND I'M NOW PAYING $680 FOR REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CAPLESS FUEL TANK LEAKED FUEL FROM THE NOZZLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED ON IT'S OWN, (NO COLLISION, OR IMPACT) WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT, ADULT PASSENGER IS SUFFERING WITH WHIPLASH, AND TERRIFIED TO RIDE IN MY JEEP AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 62 MPH, A LARGE TRACTOR TRAILER MERGED INTO THE CONTACT'S LANE AND CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE ROLLED OVER THREE TIMES. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE UPPER BODY, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,978.

THE TRANSMISSION HAD A HARD SHIFT. THE VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED AND IT SHIFTED WORSE. NOW THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED AS I AM TYPING THIS BUT I FEEL THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES. HIS IS HE MODEL THAT HAD THE DEFECTIVE GEAR SHIFTER AND RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE AWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED ON ANOTHER OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE "BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE DRIVER NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE HOOD. THE DRIVER OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS ON FIRE. THE DRIVER EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

THURSDAY EVENING MY HUSBAND WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR GARAGE AT OUR HOUSE. WHEN HE GOT TO THE STREET (A RESIDENTIAL ROAD) HE PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND THAT'S WHEN THE DRIVER'S HEADREST DEPLOYED (SEPARATED FROM THE PLASTIC PIECE LIKE AN AIRBAG, HEADREST RESTRAINT ACTIVATION THING) HITTING MY HUSBAND IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD FORCEFULLY. HE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING OR RUN OVER ANYTHING WHILE BACKING OUT. NO OTHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN THE CAR, JUST THAT ONE. HE PULLED BACK INTO THE GARAGE AND TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED. WE GOT ON CHRYSLER'S MOPAR WEBSITE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS REGARDING THAT PART. THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS ON OUR VEHICLE AND WE WERE UP-TO-DATE WITH ALL THE RECALLS ON OUR VEHICLE. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES AND GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM, BUT THE FIRST REPRESENTATIVE WE TALKED TO DID GIVE US A CASE NUMBER. THEY ARE BASICALLY SAYING IT IS OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND IN THE DEALERSHIPS. WE THEN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED AND SERVICE OUR JEEP. THEY TOLD US TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE AND THEY WILL INSPECT THE PROBLEM. EVEN IF THEY FIX THE PART OR RESET THE AIRBAG THING, I AM STILL SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR TO AND FROM WORK AND TRANSPORT MY CHILD. *TR

ON FEB 10TH 2017 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE CAR LOST ITS POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, ABS FAILED, POWER STEERING FAILED, AND EVERY INDICATOR ON THE DASH BOARD LIT UP. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED, CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE IT WAS IN GEAR. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ALTERNATOR WAS AT FAULT AND CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL AND ELECTRONICS TO FAIL. COSTING $1,600 IN REPAIRS

IT BROKE AND IT HIT MY WIFE IN THE HEAD, NEED TO BE REPLECED AND PROGRAMED TO REPLACE IT THE DEALER WANTS 570.00 DLS

MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) SYSTEMS 1) SYSTEM WILL ISSUE FALSE BRAKE WARNINGS (AND APPLY BRAKES IF ENABLED) ON CLEAR STRAIGHT ROADS WITH NO OTHER CARS OR OBSTRUCTIONS. 2) SYSTEM WILL DISABLE ITSELF AT RANDOM INTERVALS DISABLE ITSELF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (10-20 MINUTES). ONLY NOTIFICATION IS BRIEF "FCW/ACC SYSTEM DISABLED" NOTIFICATION IN GAUGE CLUSTER - NO AUDIO WARNING THAT IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM DISABLED ITSELF. 3) WHEN USING ACC, WHEN VEHICLE RESUMES SET SPEED AFTER AUTONOMOUS BRAKING, VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE INTO BACK OF NEXT VEHICLE AHEAD - HAVE TO MANUALLY INTERVENE AND APPLY BRAKES TO PREVENT COLLISION. NOTE THAT THIS VEHICLE USES A BOSCH LRR3 RADAR SENSOR SYSTEM FOR THE FCW AND ACC FEATURES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO JEEP DEALERS FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE FIVE TIMES, AND EVEN AFTER OPENING STAR CASE WITH JEEP/CHRYSLER FCA, STILL NO FIX FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

CHROME METAL INTERIOR TRIM IS PEELING OFF. THIS IS HAPPENING ON DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE AND CUP HOLDER AREA. AS A RESULT, THE EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND HAVE CUT MY HANDS ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS CAUSING LACERATIONS.

THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (HEADREST) OF MY JEEP DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO THE OTHER LANE. LUCKILY, THERE WEREN'T ANY CARS IMMEDIATELY AROUND ME SO I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND CONTINUE ON WITHOUT INJURY. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN OTHER SITUATIONS. THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT IS INTENDED TO GO OFF IN A COLLISION TO PREVENT WHIPLASH FROM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT OR TOUCHED IN ANY WAY, SIMPLY TRAVELING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY AN INSPECTION AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP.

SHIFTER DOESN'T WORK. CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT TO PARK AND THE CAR ENGINE WOULDN'T SHUT OFF

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING PART NUMBER 68105583AF CRACKS ON 2014 MODELS CAUSING OIL LEAKS. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FIRE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE IS A BACK ORDER OF SEVERAL THOUSAND FOR THIS PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE HEADLAMPS DID NOT PROJECT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD OF THE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS INTENDED, BUT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLAMPS AND THE WATTAGE OF THE BULBS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,500. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON THREE OCCASIONS IN THE SPRING OF 2016 THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE ENGINE OFF, IN PARK WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. ON ONE OF THOSE OCCURRENCES I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE AND HALFWAY OUT WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL. I WAS ALMOST CAUGHT BETWEEN THE VEHICLE WITH AN OPEN DRIVERS DOOR AND A RETAINING WALL IN MY DRIVEWAY. I MANAGED TO JUMP BACK IN AND STOP THE VEHICLE. IN MARCH OF 2017 THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD WHILE FACING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON THE SAME INCLINE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. AFTER IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES WITHIN A SPAN OF 2 MINUTES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE GEAR BECAME STUCK IN PARK WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,496.

"TAKATA RECALL" DRIVING TO WORK MY CAR MADE A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME OUT. I LET IT SIT DURING WORK AND AFTER WORK I STARTED IT UP. I THEN HOPPED IN AND WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING INTO THE TRUCK AND IT WAS SMOKING FROM THE HOOD AT A STOP LIGHT. I PROCEEDED HOME AND THE SMOKE WAS NOW INSIDE THE CAR. MY BABY COUSIN WAS IN THE CAR AND HE BEGAN COUGHING, THAT'S WHEN I LOOKED OVER AND NOTICED IT WAS VERY SMOKY IN THE CAR. I KEPT DRIVING HOME (THE STREET WAY) ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN SLIGHTLY FOR VENTILATION AND NOTICED THAT MY PARKING SENSE LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE NEXT LIGHT, MY ABN LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND SEVERAL OTHER LIGHTS. THAT BEGAN TO SCARE ME AND I KNEW IT WASN'T JUST MY BATTERY. THE NEXT TIME I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE THE SMOKE FROM THE HOOD INCREASED AS WELL AS IN THE CAR. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN GOING CRAZY, AND I COULD TELL THAT THE CAR WASN'T LETTING ME USE THE GAS ANYMORE AND THE WHEEL BEGAN TO LOCK UP. THIS REALLY MADE ME NERVOUS BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN IT. AT THIS POINT IM PANICKING AND CAUSING TRAFFIC. PULLING INTO A SAFE LOCATION,THE WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED AT THIS POINT AND EVEN PUSHING THE BRAKE WAS HARD. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULDN'T LET ME PUT IT IN PARK, THEN THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. THE SMOKING CONTINUED FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT I JUMPED OUT AS SOON AS IT CAME TO A STOP. LUCKILY I TOOK ANOTHER ROUTE HOME OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY

THE VEHICLE WENT IN FOR 4 RECALLS THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF, OTHER THAN A FLIER FROM AUTONATION SAYING I HAVE 4 OPEN RECALLS. I CONTACTED AND SCHEDULE THIS IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIPT. THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL AND FOUND THE MASTER CYLINDER TO BE SHOT. I'VE DRIVEN LOTS OF CARS FOR OVER A MILLION MILES AND NEVER HAD A MASTER CYLINDER GO BEFORE. THIS IS ALARMING THAT AT 45K MILES THIS IS SHOT. THIS PART MUST BE DEFECTIVE. IN ADDITION, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH 193 SUCH COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. I'VE TALKED TO FIAT CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO ASSIST WITH THIS. I AM CERTAIN THEY ARE CORRECT IN IDENTIFYING THE ISSUE AS I HAVE NOTICED SOME BREAK DETERIORATION RECENTLY. JUST BECAUSE THERE WASN'T AN ACCIDENT INSTALLING FAULTY BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS ON VEHICLES IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PROPOSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE FLUID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,800.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED TODAY. I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH, EXTERNAL TEMP. IS 30 DEGREES AND SUNNY. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME TO THROW A ROCK. THERE WAS NOTHING OVERHEAD. I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 137 IN MAINE, A WELL PAVED ROAD IN A FAIRLY RURAL AREA. I HAD THE SHADE CLOSED, AS I ALWAYS DO. I HEARD AND EXPLOSIVE NOISE DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. THERE WAS IMMEDIATE LOUD WIND NOISE ABOVE MY HEAD. I PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE SUNSHADE. THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED AND THE ENTIRE CENTRAL PORTION WAS GONE. ALL OF THE SHATTERED GLASS AROUND THE EDGES WAS CONVEX, BOWED OUTWARD AWAY FROM THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE NOZZLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY SHUT OFF AFTER TWO TO THREE GALLONS HAD BEEN FILLED INTO THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL FILLER NECK WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE UP I LOOKED TO MY RIGHT AND NOTICED THE ACTIVE HEADREST ON JUST THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FAILED AND HAD EJECTED ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT BEING IN A COLLISION. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE HELFMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM DEALERSHIP 7720 KATY FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77024. I AM BEING CHARGED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF AN ENTIRELY NEW HEADREST WHEN MINE FAILED BY DESIGN.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND APPROACHING A BUSY INTERSECTION, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED IN MOTION AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP FOR A BRIEF SECOND, TO INCLUDE THE BATTERY LIGHT. THE STOP LIGHT WAS RED AND I FULLY STOPPED. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO THE INTERSECTION WHEN MY VEHICLE MOVED MERE INCHES BEFORE IT COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN A MINUTE WITH NO WARNING. TWO TRUCKS ATTEMPTED TO JUMP MY JEEP, BUT ALL THAT HAPPENED WAS THE JUMPER CABLES STARTED TO SMOKE AND HEAT TO THE POINT THEY WERE UNTOUCHABLE. I HAD TO HAVE MY JEEP TOWED TO A NEAR BY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES DEALING WITH THE ALTERNATOR, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT MY JEEP WAS MANUFACTURED WITH A 180AMP AND NOT THE 160AMP LISTED IN THE RECALL.

MY JEEP ONLY HAS 41000 MILES ON IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON SO THERE FOR I CANT EVEN GET A VA.INSPECTION ON IT. THE REMOTE START WILL NOT WORK AS LONG AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL NECK WAS LEAKING AIR AND LOST ITS SEAL. JUST THE PART TO FIX IT COST AROUND $ 500.00 PLUS THE LABOR AT $250.00 THIS IS A NEW IDEA FROM JEEP NOT TO HAVE A GAS CAP FOR THE FUEL NECK. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY JEEP SINCE THEIR NEW IDEA DOES NOT WORK. 2014 WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT JEEP DOSN'T HAVE A GAS CAP. JUST THINK, I INVESTED $42000.00 IN MY JEEP WITH ONLY 41000 MILES ON IT AND I CANT GET A VA. INSPECTION STICKER ON IT WITHOUT SPENDING ANOTHER $750.00 ON IT, JUST BECAUSE THEIR NEW IDEA DOESN'T WORK. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ROLLED AND STRUCK RESIDENCE- CAUSED FRONT END DAMAGES. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR RECALL AT NO COST TO CONSUMER. *SMD THE STATED SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF A RECALL, PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. *JB

THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN IT WAS IN PARK AND THE IGNITION WAS OFF. IT DID NOT SLIDE, IT ROLLED. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT BACK UP THE DRIVEWAY, PUT IT IN PARK, SET THE PARKING BRAKE, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I EXCITED THE VEHICLE, AND ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. PLEASE NOTE: THE JEEP HAD ALREADY RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE APRIL 2016 RECALL INVOLVING THE GEAR SHIFTER/ROLLAWAYS (SEE EA1600). I BELIEVE THIS IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE BECAUSE THE IGNITION WAS OFF WHEN THE ROLLAWAYS OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A DASH WARNING APPEARED THAT SAID TRANSMISSION FAILURE, PUT CAR IN PARK. AT THAT POINT THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN. MEANWHILE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED AT 19K MILES, 2ND 29K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY REPLACE, 3RD TIME 42K ALL 3TIMES ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR ANY PERSON TO BE DRIVING. ALL INCIDENTS BETWEEN 5/2015 AND 1/2017

I FILED CASE # 10854550 ON 4/9/16 FOLLOWING AN ACTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WHERE MY VEHICLE BRAKED ON ITS OWN WITH NO VEHICLES OR OTHER OBSTACLES IN MY PATH ON 3/31/16. I FILED CASE #10948159 FOLLOWING AN INCIDENT ON 1/9/17 WHERE THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WENT OFF AND THE ACTIVE BREAKING FEATURE ENGAGED, DESPITE NO RISK OF COLLISION. FURTHER, THE ACTIVE BREAKING FEATURE WAS TURNED OFF IN MY VEHICLE SETTINGS. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS REPORTED TO ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE, FOLLOWING AN INSPECTION. BUT YET AGAIN, ON JANUARY 31, 2017, MY COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WENT OFF AND THE ACTIVE BREAKING FEATURE ENGAGED, DESPITE NO RISK OF COLLISION. THE FEATURE HAS REMAINED DISABLED PER MY VEHICLE SETTINGS. IN THIS INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH MY COUSIN AND MY ALMOST 19 MONTH OLD SON IN THE CAR. OUT OF NOWHERE, THE SYSTEMS LISTED ABOVE ENGAGED. I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I FEEL AT RISK, AND WORSE, I FEEL I AM ENDANGERING MY CHILD BY DRIVING IN MY CAR. SHORT OF SELLING IT AND PASSING THIS RISK ON TO SOMEONE ELSE, I AM AT A LOSS IN TERMS OF WHAT CAN BE DONE.

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND: THE HO HEADLIGHTS TURN THEM-SELF OFF UPON NIGHT DRIVING. THIS IS WITH THE AUTO HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON AS WELL AS THE SWITCH TURNED ON. CONTACTING THE DEAL AS WELL AS MANUFACTURE ((800)-247-9753), CASE NUMBER 31082574, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THERE WAS PUDDLE OF FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONDENSER LEAKED. THE CONDENSER, AIR CONDITIONER, AND TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

THE ALTERNATOR STARTED SMOKING AFTER DRIVING IT 1/4 MILE AND THEN STOPPING. ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. ALTERNATOR CONTINUED TO SMOKE AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE ALTERNATOR TURNED A CLOUDY BLACK BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE AND THE CAR SUDDENLY DID NOT WORK. VEHICLE WAS TOWED (FOR FREE) TO RAF'S AUTO REPAIR IN KAPOLEI, HI AND FIXED. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ERROR CODE FOR THE JEEP STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR SUDDENLY FAILED FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. MOST LIKELY A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. THE GRAND TOTAL TO FIX THIS ISSUE WAS $863. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE HAD A FAULTY ALTERNATOR RECALL. IT DID NOT. SO I COULD NOT GET IT FIXED BY CHRYSLER. I GATHER FROM THE 10 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLES YEAR MAKE AND MODEL GROUP, THAT THIS ALTERNATOR WAS A FACTORY DEFAULT AND I SHOULD NOT BE PAYING FOR IT. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BY CHRYSLER COMPANY AND I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR BILL.

A MESSAGE ON THE UCONNECT SCREEN POP UP SEVERAL TIMES A DAY IN BRIGHT RED SAYING THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE: 9-1-1 VEHICLE PHONE REQUIRES SERVICE PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALER. WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE ASSIST/ 911 EMERGENCY BUTTON ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR LIGHTS UP RED AND IS ENOPERABLE/NO LONGER WORKING. THE RADIO CHANGES CHANNEL ON ITS OWN AND THE CLOCK CONTINUES TO CHANGE TIME/ WITH ENOPERABLE GPS SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION NO MATTER WHERE THE LOCATION. THIS HAVE BEEN GOING SINCE 2016.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR OBSTRUCTS OBJECTS ON THE LEFT FORWARD SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE POSITION OF THE MIRROR IS TOO HIGH AND TOO LARGE, THEREFORE BLOCKING THE RANGE OF VISION ON THE LEFT FORWARD SIDE OF VEHICLE. I'M OF AVERAGE HEIGHT (5 FT, 8IN), AND HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BY RAISING THE SEAT VERY HIGH. UNFORTUNATELY, I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS PARTICULARLY BAD IN URBAN/CITY DRIVING. IT COMPLETELY BLOCKS OUT PEDESTRIANS IN CROSSWALKS WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS. THIS HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS ISSUES, AND IN ONE CASE, ALMOST STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN. I NEVER SAW THEM, MY PASSENGER ALERTED ME. *TR

OWNER HAS BEEN HAVING ONGOING ISSUE WITH HEAD UNIT IN 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED W/44K MILES. VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY BOUGHT BACK BY JEEP FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES THEN RESOLD. RADIO UNIT WAS ALREADY REPLACED TWICE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND THE NEW OWNER IS BEING ASKED TO REPLACE IT FOR A THIRD TIME OUT OF POCKET. HEAD UNIT FREEZES RENDERING THE FUNCTIONS UNUSABLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE SCREEN REMAINS BLACK ON START UP PREVENTING USE OF THE RADIO, PHONE, REAR BACKUP CAMERA AND USE OF THE HEAT CONTROLS SUCH AS TEMPERATURE AND AREA OF HEAT DISTRIBUTION. WILL OCCUR WHILE RUNNING AND WHEN STARTING UP. *TR

SERVICE DEF CAME ON AT 34,000 MILES. DEALER SAID THAT THE DEF WAS CONTAMINATED WITH CRYSTALS AND THE PUMP NEEDED REPLACED. REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO CONTAMINATION. ONLY PEAK BLUE DEF WHICH MEETS ISO 22241 HAS BEEN USED IN THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP THEN TOLD US TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE BACK ORDERED PART WAS AVAILABLE. WHEN QUERIED ABOUT THE VEHICLE GOING INTO "LIMP MODE" THEY AGREED IT WAS A POSSIBILITY. THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THE PART ARRIVED AND WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CASES ON JEEP FORUMS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF A DEALER TELLS YOU TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THEY KNOW WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE, ESPECIALLLY ON A FREEWAY. WE ALSO HAVE A 14 MONTH OLD CHILD AND LIVE IN COLORADO, BREAKING DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS NOT AN OPTION. THE DEALER DOES NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE SIDED WITH THE DEALER AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE.

I FILED CASE # 10854550 ON 4/9/16 FOLLOWING AN ACTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WHERE MY VEHICLE BRAKED ON ITS OWN WITH NO VEHICLES OR OTHER OBSTACLES IN MY PATH ON 3/31/16. FOLLOWING THIS INCIDENT, I WENT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE ADVISOR WHO CHECKED FOR ERROR CODES (THERE WERE NONE) AND EXPLAINED THAT THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF JEEP HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE ACTIVE BRAKING FEATURE, STATING THAT KEEPING THE CAMERA CLEAN CAN HELP, AND HE PROCEEDED TO CLEAN MY CAMERA. BUT BECAUSE THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, I DID NOT LEAVE MY VEHICLE FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT, MY NOT YET NINE MONTH OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME, SO TO AVOID ANY SAFETY CONCERNS SURROUNDING THIS BRAKING FEATURE, I TURNED THE ACTIVE BRAKING SETTING OFF IN MY CAR TO DISABLE THE FEATURE. THE FEATURE HAS REMAINED OFF SINCE THAT TIME. HOWEVER ON 1/9/17 I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A RED SIGNAL. THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN SO I PROCEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME HESITATED IN MOVING FORWARD, SO I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. BEFORE I HAD THE CHANCE TO USE THE BRAKE, THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WENT OFF AND THE ACTIVE BREAKING FEATURE ENGAGED. I WAS SHOCKED, TO SAY THE LEAST. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED MY VEHICLE SETTINGS. THE FEATURE WAS SUPPOSEDLY STILL TURNED OFF. AT THIS POINT I WAS EXTREMELY WORRIED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY NOW 1.5 YEAR OLD SON WHO WAS ONCE AGAIN WITH ME, SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABL

WHILE DRIVING BATTERY LOW VOLTAGE ALARM OCCURRED. SHORTLY AFTER,ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN, LOST POWER STEERING,THEN ENGINE SHUTDOWN. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO SHOULDER OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAD NO POWER :ALL ELECTRICAL INDICATORS,DISPLAYS,LIGHTS,INCLUDING SHIFTER WERE OFF AND COULD NOT BE TURNED ON

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP NEW A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS AGO, I THOUGHT MY JEEP WAS IN PARK AND WENT TO GET OUT AND IT WAS ACTUALLY IN REVERSE. THANKFULLY, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD ONLY 1 FOOT OUT AND NOW CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT IS IN PARK EVEN THOUGH I PUSH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER ALL THE WAY FORWARD. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, BUT THE LOCAL DEALER CLAIMS TO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT PROBLEM ADDRESSED IN NHTSA REFERENCE #14V636000. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN 07/13 WHICH IS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL PERIOD. I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. IT COMES ON SUDDENLY AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION "SUA" OCCURS AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH BRAKE APPLIED. FIRST TIME 08/14 AS I PULLED INTO A FORWARD FACING CURB-I HAD JUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHEN THE ENGINE LOUDLY SURGED. I WAS ASTONISHED AND GOT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL;THE SURGING STOPPED. THE CAR WAS NEW AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED-I WAS DUMBFOUNDED. THE SECOND TIME THE "SUA" HAPPENED WAS 01/26/15 -I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL CARS. AS I CAME TO A STOP WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR'S ENGINE SURGED VIOLENTLY AND THE CAR TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD. MY HUSBAND WAS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND WITNESSED MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I IMMEDIATELY MOVED THE GEAR SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND SURGING STOPPED. I RELAYED THIS INCIDENT TO JEEP SERVICE REP BY EMAIL WHO SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. THE THIRD TIME OF "SUA" WAS 6/25/15; I WAS FIRST CAR AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. I CAME TO COMPLETE STOP WITH FOOT APPLIED TO BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE SURGED, THE CAR SQUEALED AND JUMPED ABOUT 3-4 FEET INTO THE INTERSECTION; I GOT THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE SURGING SUBSIDED. TOOK THE CAR TO JEEP DEALER WHO TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE SITUATION OVER A PERIOD OF 14 DAYS WITHOUT SUCCESS. I ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. WHO OPENED AND THEN DROPPED A CASE. FOURTH TIME ON 12/03/16-I WAS 3RD CAR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND, AGAIN, CAME TO COMPLETE STOP WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE SURGED VIOLENTLY AND RAMMED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DAMAGING MY CAR AND HIS. IN THIS INST

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 PA

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
