2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

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

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE RECALL. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR SINCE 5 15 15. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS AND VISITS TO DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE REPAIR I AM TOLD EACH TIME, NO PART, NO BIG DEAL, CHRYSLER IS UNWILLING TO SEND THE PART. CALLED 2 26 16 ONLY TO BE TOLD I HAVE TO WAIT YET AGAIN. HELP

THE POWER STEERING FLUID HAS DROPPED IN MY RESERVOIR AND HAS BEEN DROPPING EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN TOPPED OFF BY THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR. IT HAS DROPPED TO A LEVEL HALF WAY BETWEEN THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM MARKS ON THE RESERVOIR MOSTLY RECENTLY IN LESS THAN 2000 MILES. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR(2.5 YRS) AND ALL THEY SAY IS THEY CANNOT FIND ANY LEAKS. THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM IS A CLOSED, PRESSURIZED SYSTEM THAT SHOULD NOT LEAK AT ALL. CHRYSLER JEEP HAS BASICALLY IGNORED MY CONCERNS, DECLINED TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS PROBLEM AND HAS CLOSED MY CASE ON THIS MATTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A LOCAL AUTO SERVICE CENTER THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE(3.6L V-6 PENTASTAR) IN ALL CHRYSLER AUTOS AS THEY REGULARLY NEED TO TOP OFF THE POWER STEERING FLUID IN ALL THESE CARS. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS CHECKED AND THE FLUID AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE.

PARKED JEEP WITH ENGINE RUNNING - PUT JEEP IN PARK -WALKED AROUND BACK OF JEEP TO ENTER BUILDING - GONE FOR 3 MINUTES. CAME OUT TO FIND JEEP HAD KICKED INTO REVERSE AND RAN INTO A CAR PARKED IN PARKING LOT. I STILL BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TIME NO ONE GOT INJURED. COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. GOOGLED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER REPORTS SIMILAR TO MINE. JEEP HAS A ISSUE - WHERE WERE A LOT OF SIMILAR REPORTS.. FILED A CASE WITH JEEP. THEY INSPECTED AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) OCCASIONALLY COMES ON WITHOUT REASON IN CITY TRAFFIC,INTERSTATES, AND COUNTRY ROADS (NO TRAFFIC OR OBSTRUCTIONS NEARBY) AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS CAUSING A "BRAKE" WARNING SIGNAL AND SOMETIMES, NOT ALWAYS, ACTUALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE. RELATED TO THE FCW PROBLEM IS A WARNING SIGNAL THAT FREQUENTLY APPEARS THAT INDICATES THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL/FCW ARE UNAVAILABLE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND EXCEPT FOR ONE TIME THAT THE DEALERSHIP FOUND A PART MISSING, THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO INDICATE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM REMAINS ON-GOING AND HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE DATE OF OCCURANCE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT EVENT WITH THE "BRAKE" WARNING.

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. CAR IS DUE IN FOR MAINTENANCE SOON AND WILL HAVE BOTH ISSUES CHECKED OUT.

I THOUGHT I PUT MY VEHICLE INTO PARK IN A PARKING LOT. I LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. IT DROVE FORWARD ON ITS OWN WITH NO ONE IN IT AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH.

I HAD CRANKED MY JEEP AND NOT SHIFTED INTO GEAR SO IT WAS IN PARK. IT WAS STATIONARY WHEN I JUMPED OUT TO GRAB SOMETHING FROM JUST INSIDE AND HEARD A WEIRD NOISE. I RAN BACK INTO MY GARAGE TO SEE MY CAR ROLLING DOWN AND ACROSS MY FRONT YARD. I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO STEAL IT SO RAN UP ALONG SIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THAT IS WHEN I SAW NO ONE WAS IN IT. I RAN AROUND TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND TRY TO GET INTO TO STOP IT BUT COULD GET IN WHILE IT WAS ROLLING AND ENDED UP GETTING DRAGGED FOR ABOUT A SECOND AS IT CROSS THE ROAD. MY JEEP KEEP GOING AND END UP HITTING MY NEIGHBORS MAILBOX AND TREE. ONCE MY JEEP WAS STOPPED I OPENED THE DOOR AND NOTICE THE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. MY GARAGE IS FLAT AND I WAS BACKED INTO MY GARAGE SO THERE IS NO REAL WAY THAT EVEN IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL THAT IT WOULD HAVE THE MOTION TO MOVE OUT OF MY GAGARGE. I ACTUALLY THINK IT HAD SHIFTED ON ITS OWN INTO DRIVE AND WHEN IT HIT THE TREE I THINK IT POPPED IT INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS LUCKLY NOT TO GET RUN OVER OR ANYONE ELSE WAS NOT INJURIED WHILE MY CAR WAS MOVING OWN ITS OWN.

WE HAVE HAD 4 INCIDENTS OF UNINTENDED BRAKING (PE15-021) FROM THE COLLISION CONTROL SYSTEM. EXTREME AUTONOMOUS BRAKING WHEN NOTHING WAS IN THE WAY. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAD ONE CASE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 10 MPH) STOP & GO COMMUTER TRAFFIC RESULTING IN A REAR END CRASH WITH DAMAGE TO OUR JEEP AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US AND THE NEXT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THEM (3 VEHICLES TOTAL). JEEP ACCELERATED HARD ON ITS OWN WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL.

I DROVE MY CAR TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, PUT MY JEEP IN PARK (WHILE IT WAS RUNNING), GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, WENT TO THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR AND GOT MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE VEHICLE, WE WALKED IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, I DROPPED HER OFF AT THEIR HOUSE AND WHILE TALKING TO THE NEIGHBORS FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, MY VEHICLE ENGAGED BY ITSELF AND DROVE INTO THEIR GARAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS OVER THE CONTACT'S RIGHT LEG. THE VEHICLE THEN RAN OVER A CURB AND CRASHED INTO A LAMP POST. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED LEG INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

WHEN PLACING THE SHIFTER INTO PARK FROM THE DRIVE POSITION IT WILL AT TIMES HANG AT EITHER THE NEUTRAL OR REVERSE SETTING EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFT HANDLE WAS PUSHED FAR FORWARD TO ENGAGE PARK. SOMETIMES TO SEPARATE ATTEMPTS ARE NEEDED TO CYCLE THE TRANSMISSION TO PARK. I HAVE EXPERIENCED TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL BACKWARD SLOWLY WHILE IN N OR AGGRESSIVELY WHILE IN REVERSE. EXTRAORDINARY CARE MUST BE EXERCISED TO INSURE SAFETY. THIS IS THE WORST SHIFTER I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH IN 45 YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PLACED IN PARK AND HAS STARTED ROLLING IN BOTH REVERSE & FORWARD MOTIONS AFTER THE MY WIFE OR I HAVE STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF.

COLD WEATHER CAUSES IDLER PULLEY TO MAKE A WHISTLING NOISE.

GEAR SHIFTER DOES NOT MOVE FLUIDLY AND OFTEN IT IS UNCLEAR AS TO WHICH POSITION THE SHIFTER IS ACTUALLY ENGAGED. IT HAS OCCURRED THAT WHEN I THINK IT IS IN PARK, IT IS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL. I ACTUALLY PUSHED THE START/STOP ENGINE BUTTON THINKING THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF WHEN IN FACT IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND WAS STILL RUNNING. HAD I NOT NOTICED THIS AT THE LAST MOMENT THE CAR COULD HAVE EASILY ROLLED INTO PARKING LOT TRAFFIC. THIS ALSO HAS OCCURRED WHEN PARKING IN MY GARAGE.

VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE WHEN OPERATOR REACHED INTO VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF ENGINE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A DOWNWARD CITY STREET SLOPE (FACING DOWNHILL), AND REVERSED UPHILL, DRAGGING OPERATOR INTO AN INTERSECTION.

ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ROLLED AFTER THE SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN PARK POSITION. !. ON 11/18/2013 DOOR WAS AJAR WHILE DRIVER WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF VEHICLE. JEEP SLIPPED OUT OF PARK AND SLOWLY BACKED INTO A CONCRETE BUTTRESS AT A GAS STATION CAUSING $900 DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER DOOR AND FRONT QUARTER PANEL. 2. IN THAT SAME WEEK, SHIFTER SLIPPED OUT OF PARK WHILE DRIVER WAS BEHIND VEHICLE TAKING A PHOTOGRAPH. SERIOUS INJURY PREVENTED BY PASSENGER WHO PUSHED THE SHIFTER BACK INTO PARK. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 11/22/2013. DEALER INSPECTED AND HAD INSPECTION BY CHRYSLER FIELD REP. BOTH DENIED PROBLEM. SEE ATTACHMENT. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. IT IS NECESSARY TO CAREFULLY INSURE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK BY HOLDING GEAR SHIFT IN PLACE.

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

ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFTIER NOT RELIABLE. THERE IS NO FEELING OR SENSE OF PROPER GEAR ENGAGEMENT. I SIT EACH DAY AND REV UP ENGINE THINKING I HAVE ENGAGED DRIVE MODE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE PROPERLY ENGAGED PARK FEATURE. I HAVE GOTTEN ONE LEG OUT OF CAR WHILE AUTO STARTS MOVING.THIS ELECTRONIC FEATURE IS UNSAFE. 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. (THE DATE OF 9/1/2015 IS ESTIMATED BUT CAN BE CONFIRMED)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK POSITION; HOWEVER, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN REVERSE. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE, NOT KNOWING THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, AND WAS KNOCKED OVER BY THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE RAN OVER HIS LEFT LEG AND RIGHT TOES AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. UPDATED 05/04/16*LJ *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE GEAR WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE STILL MOVED FORWARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5.

I WENT TO PLACE THE GEAR SELECTOR INTO PARK BUT IT DIDN'T GO IN AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WASN'T IN PARK. I WENT TO GET OUT TO GRAB SOMETHING AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO MY GARAGE DOOR. IT DENTED THE GARAGE DOOR AND LUCKILY ONLY DID THAT AS DAMAGE. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE BEFORE IT WENT ANY FURTHER.

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER DOES NOT PROPERLY SELECT GEAR AND/OR PROVIDE TACTILE FEEDBACK REGARDING WHICH GEAR HAS BEEN SELECTED. I HAVE ALMOST LEFT THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE MODE THINKING IT WAS IN PARK. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND WARRANTS A RECALL.

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.

MAKING SURE THE TRUCK IS IN PARK IS DIFIFCULLT TO DETERMINE.PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO PARK OR INTO DRIVE IS ALSO DIFFICULT. HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 3 TIMES TO ME, THOUGHT THE JEEP WAS IN PARK EXITED THE VECHICLE AND IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE MODE AND STARTED ROLLING FORWARD!

MY WIFE PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND TOOK HER FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED FORWARD AND HIT A POLE AT ABOUT 2-3 MILES PER HOUR. THE FRONT LICENSE PLATE AND PLATE HOLDER WERE DAMAGED BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT NOW MAKES HER AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THIS IS THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

ON APPROXIMATELY 10 OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS, I HAVE ALMOST LEFT THE VEHICLE AFTER ATTEMPTING AND THINKING IT WAS IN PARK. THE SHIFT LEVEL IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.

I HAVE REAL PROBLEMS WITH THE "ELECTRIC" GEAR SHIFT. I CANNOT TELL WHAT POSITION IT IS IN. LATEST EPISODE OCCURRED WHEN I WAS VALETING THE CAR. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK (AT LEAST I THOUGHT I DID). WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR TO LET THE CAR VALET TAKE THE CAR, IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARD WITH ME HALF IN, HALF OUT OF THE CAR. THE CAR CAME VERY CLOSE TO KNOCKING ME DOWN AND ROLLING OVER ME. IF THE ATTENDANT HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO PHYSICALLY STOP THE CAR IT WOULD HAVE RUN ME DOWN. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. YOU JUST CANNOT FEEL THE "DEDENTS" INDICATING WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. THE SCARIEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED.

I HAVE HUGE PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY-LESS IGNITION AND THE ENGINE NOT TURNING OFF IN TWO CIRCUMSTANCES. FIRST, THE ENGINE IS VERY QUITE AND THE RADIO DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. IF YOU MISS THE SHUT OFF BUTTON THE CAR CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN WHEN YOU LEAVE WITH THE KEY. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN YOU LEAVE THE STILL RUNNING CAR WITH THE KEY. YOU COME BACK HOURS LATER AND THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING. SECOND, THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER IS SO INACCURATE THAT IT IS VERY EASY TO TRY TO PUT IT IN PARK AND LEAVE IT JUST SHORT AND IN REVERSE. THE JEEP WON'T TURN OFF WHILE IT IS STILL IN GEAR, BUT IT IS SO QUIET THAT IT IS EASY TO MISS THAT IT IS STILL RUNNING (PARTICULARLY IF YOU DID NOT IMMEDIATELY GET OUT OF THE CAR). WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STARTS TO ROLL. VERY DANGEROUS. JEEP'S RESPONSE IS TO PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON, BUT WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE IF YOU ARE NOT ON A HILL.

I PARKED MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON A HILL IN THE DRIVEWAY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND TURNED IT OFF. I OPEN THE DOOR AND EXITED MY CAR AND THE CAR BEGIN ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE HILL AS IF IT WAS A NEUTRAL.

ON 1/11/2016 AFTER A GOT INTO MY GRAND CHEROKEE IN GRAND RAPIDS WINTER WITH TEMP 12 F. I NOTICED WHAT LIKE STREAKS ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT'S STREAKS OF ICE THAT DID NOT GO AWAY EVEN WHEN FLUSHED BY WIPERS, AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING I WAS HEARING CRACKING SOUND AND MORE OF THESE LINE APPEARING ON THE WINDSHIELD IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. NEXT DAY I HAVE TAKEN THESE TO THE AGENT BUT THE SERVICE MAN STATED THAT THESE ARE ONLY SCRATCHES AND CAN NOT BE CRACKING AND TRIED TO DOUBT MY STORY. THE JEEP WAS LESS THAN 16 MONTHS SINCE WE LEASED IT FROM THE DEALER.

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS ROLLED WHILE IN PARK. IT WAS PARKED ON A GRADE EACH TIME, BUT NOT STEEP ENOUGH FOR THE TRANSMISSION NOT TO HOLD. MOST RECENTLY, IT WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT GRADE, ON ICE, WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY (WITH THE REAR WHEELS PARKING BREAK ENGAGED BUT SLIDING ON ICE, AND THE FRONT WHEELS FREELY ROLLED). THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED, AND VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF.

MY CURRENT LEASE, A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH DEFECTS. THERE HAVE BEEN 9 RECALLS, 16 SERVICE BULLETINS, AND 5 INVESTIGATIONS'.IN ADDITION THERE ARE 587 DRIVER/OWNER COMPLAINTS. MY PROBLEMS: INSTABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER PARKING NEXT TO A STORAGE BIN, TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF PARK AND THE JEEP MOVED FORWARD CRUSHING MY LEG IN THE DOOR AND DENTING/SCRATCHING THE EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE. THERE HAS BEEN NO INDICATION THAT FCA (JEEP) HAS RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. ANOTHER PROBLEM I'M HAVING, WHICH HAS BEEN PLAGUING MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS, IS WHERE THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH NO INDICATION OF SPECIFIC INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO WHAT THE MALFUNCTION MIGHT BE. AFTER 5 SERVICE VISITS OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS , JEEP HAS PROVEN THEY UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS. I CONTINUE DRIVING WITH UNCERTAINTY AND STRESS WITH MY PASSENGERS AND I FEARING OURLIVES MAY BE ENDANGERED. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ILLUMINATED. I AM NOT GETTING THE LEVEL OF VEHICLE SAFETY AND DEPENDABILITY I AM PAYING FOR. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE WEBSITE OF JEEP AND HAVE OFFERED FCA(JEEP) A SETTLEMENT WHEREBY I WOULD BE REFUNDED THE LEASING CHARGES I PAID AND THE COMPANY WOULD CONSENT TO AN EARLY TERMINATION OF THE LEASE WITH NO PENALTIES OR CHARGES.
