2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V699000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). LARSON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2001 N. MERIDIAN, PUYALLUP, WA 98371, (253) 845-1725) WAS CONTACTED AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTED THE DEALER TO NOT PLACE ANY ADDITIONAL CUSTOMERS ON THE WAITING LIST DUE TO A HIGH VOLUME OF CUSTOMERS STILL AWAITING PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT IT COULD BE UPWARDS OF NINE MONTHS TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING FUEL IN MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE XJ. BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO FUEL UP, TWICE I HAVE SPRAYED FUEL ALL OVER MYSELF AND ONCE I HAD THE RENTS MYSELF WITH WATER. MY WARNING LIGHT IS A NOW ON . NOW THE CAPLESS FUEL CAP ASSEMBLY CAME OFF WHILE I WAS FEELING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN FEEL UP ANYMORE MAKING THE CAR USELESS UNTIL REPAIRED

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, 5 DAYS LATER THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT SO I TOOK IT HOME. A WEEK LATER, SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, UNABLE TO CONTROL ANYTHING, LOST STEERING, THEN VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON TO NO LUCK, SAT WAITING, THEN AFTER 15 MINS THE ACCESSORY ENGINE CAME ON, LIGHTS FLASHING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING AND THE MESSAGE "DO NOT PARK UNTIL SAFE AT YOUR DESTINATION." TOOK THE JEEP STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP, DEALER PLUGS IT IS 70+ MISCOMMUNICATION ERRORS PULL UP. DEALER CALLS ME 3 DAYS LATER TO COME GET MY JEEP AND SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT AND THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT UNLESS THEY SEE IT IN THE ACT. I REFUSE TO GO PICK IT UP AS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND I AM NOT DRIVING IT WITH MY 9MONTH OLD.

IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE, BUT NOT ICY ON THE ROAD. WELL LIT. I WAS NOT IN A RUSH. CAR WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE UP UNTIL THEN. I WAS GOING ~10 PMH DOWN THE INSIDE PARKING GARAGE DRIVEWAY. HAD TO PULL TO THE RIGHT DUE TO CAR COMING UP PARTIALLY ON MY SIDE. SCRATCHED THE SIDE WALL. ONCE THAT HAPPENED, THE CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. BRAKES DIDN'T REACT. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE RUNNING INTO OTHER CARS OR EVEN PEOPLE WAS STEERING THE CAR INTO THE WALL FRONT ON. THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED, THE WALL BROKE DOWN. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF, THE BRAKE ASSISTANCE SYSTEM DIDN'T KICK IN. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT, BUT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NOT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS AND DON'T HAVE A SEIZURE DISORDER. WITNESSED EVERY SINGLE SECOND FULLY AWAKE AND AWARE.

MY WIFE AND I OWN THIS CAR, WHICH IS TITLED TO HER. TODAY I TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALER FOR STANDARD, 60,000 MILE MAINTENANCE. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT MY RADIATOR WAS LEAKING. I REPLACED IT AT A COST OF $1,026.97. THE DEALER IS ROCHESTER HILLS CHRYSLER, JEEP AND DODGE IN ROCHESTER HILLS, MI.

REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTORS DO NOT ADEQUATELY TENSION SEATBELTS.

HEADREST POP OPEN OUT OF NOWHERE AFTER I PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS PREPARING TO TAKE OFF MY SEATBELT.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL. I DID RECEIVE A LETTER FOR A RECALL. I MISPLACED THE LETTER. CAN I GET ANOTHER SO WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER I CAN PRESENT IT TO THEM SO THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. THANK YOU.

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND HER BODY JUST SHOT FORWARD LIKE SOMEBODY SHOVED HER FROM BEHIND. THE HEADREST SHOT OUT OF PLACE AND HIT HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD FORCING HER FORWARD. SHE HAD SOME NECK PAIN FOR A LITTLE BIT BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. THANKFULLY IT WAS THE PASSENGER SEAT AND NOT THE DRIVER SEAT. I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE IF ONE OF US WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO THE DRIVER.

THE HEADREST ON MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. INSPECTION OF THE HEADREST SHOWS THE PLASTIC BRACKET HOLDING THE METAL PIN IS BROKEN AND YET THE HOLDING CLAMP IS NOT RELEASED. THE HEADREST CANNOT BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I AM VERY CONCERNED AFTER READING OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THIS CAN OCCUR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AS WELL WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. YOU NEED TO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE, LIKE ME, GETS KILLED.

MY JEEP STALLED IN 50MPH TRAFFIC CAUSING A HORRIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I BARELY COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS LATER TOLD MY TONE/RELUCTOR WHEEL HAD BROKEN RESULTING IN LOSS OF SIGNAL FROM THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR SO THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN.

DURING REGULAR USE OF VEHICLE, HEADLAMP CASINGS APPEAR TO BE MELTING. VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 120K MILES.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL GIVE A JERK WHEN I ACCELERATE AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN TO A STOP (GAS PEDAL DOES NOT WORK TO ACCELERATE) THE CAR SHIFTS ITSELF FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH SCREEN "PUT VEHICLE INTO DRIVE". SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND SOMETIMES IS DOES NOT. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED I'M ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE AGAIN. THIS OCCURS AGAIN SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DAY OR WILL HAPPEN ONCE EVERY WEEK OR SO. I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE TCM, BATTERY, SPARK PLUGS AND CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTERS AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY HAVE NO REAL ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY MY ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I NOTICED A LOT OF SMOKE/STEAM COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF MY CAR. I PULLED MY CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED IT. I OPENED THE HOOD TO SEE IF I COULD SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS BUT WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY SEE THE ISSUE. THERE WAS A LOT OF STEAM/SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR TO CALL AAA FOR A TOW AND WHILE ON THE PHONE I NOTICED AN ORANGE GLOW FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I IMMEDIATELY HUNG UP AND CALLED 911. THEN GOT ALL MY BELONGINGS OUT OF THE CAR AND AT THIS POINT THE FIRE HAD ENGULFED THE FRONT OF THE CAR. CHP AND FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS.*DT*JB

A BIG WARNING COMES ON MY DASH BOARD SAYING BRAKES AND AUTOMATICALLY STOPS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. IT IS SCAREY BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASON I NEED TO BRAKE NOR CAN I CONTROL THAT THE CAR IS FORCE BRAKING IT SELF. I HAVE READ 2 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND BOTH HAVE ENDED IN CRASHING THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE COMPUTER FORCE BRAKING ITSELF IN THE SUV.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING.

THE CAR REFUSES TO START. IT WON'T TURNOVER. IT IS COMPLETELY SILENT. THE PUSH START WILL NOT WORK.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT BACK TO POSITION. WHEN PARKED AND EXITING THE VEHICLE THE SEAT BELT HANGS AND GETS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE SEAT BELT FITTING SO LOOSE BECAUSE IT NO LONGER RETRACTS.

I CONTINUE TO HAVE SERVICE SHIFTER AND CHECK ENGINE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION BOTH ON CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AND IN PARK. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS COME ONE, IN MANY CASES THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND I LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, WHICH CAUSES A SEVERE SAFETY RISK IF IT OCCURS WHILE TURNING OR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MANY TIMES MY DASHBOARD WILL GO COMPLETELY BLACK FOR SECONDS AND MY WIND SHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE FOR 180 DAYS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING CONTROL MODULE, THE TCM, THE TELEMAX COMMUNICATION MODULE, THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE SHIFTER, BUT THE ISSUE ALWAYS COMES BACK. OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS THE ISSUES HAVE GOTTEN WORSE AND THE VEHICLE IS GETTING MORE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THESE ISSUES AND FCA SHOULD TAKE ACTION.

DEFECTIVE ACTIVE HEADREST - ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. PLASTIC COMPONENTS BROKEN WHICH HOLD ACTIVE HEADREST

THE SHIFTER BEGAN JUMPING OUT OF GEAR ABOUT OCTOBER, 2020...WHEN I WOULD PUT IN PARK GETTING OUT IT HAD MOVED BACK TO DRIVE AND I HAD TO QUICKLY GET BACK IN AND PUT BACK IN PARK. THERE HAD BEEN AN EARLIER RE CALL, TOOK TO DEALER SHIP AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WHATEVER PROBLEM WAS. AT TIME OF RECALL I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. AS TIME WORE ON I BEGAN TO HAVE SHIFTER PROBLEMS. THE LIGHT ON SHIFTER BEGAN TO GO OFF AND ON AND IT GETTING OUT OF SHIFT BECAME MORE FREQUENT ...TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IN SOUTHAVEN MS...SERVICE MGR SAID THERE HAD NO COMPLAINTS...MY RESEARCH SHOWED DIFFERENT...HE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE PLACE BUT BACK ORDER...THIS WAS IN NOVEMBER. IT IS NOW JANUARY, 21 AND I AM STILL DRIVING AND THE SHIFTER IS STILL ON BACK ORDER, ACCORDING TO LANDERS JEEP THEY KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPLACE WITH CORP SAYING THAT 357 SHIFTERS SO FAR ARE ON BACK ORDER...THAT IS ALL THAT THEY WOULD DO....THIS SITUATION IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT SCARY...CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO SHOVE UNDER THE RUG ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER AND DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS WHO NEED MORE THAN JUST LIES AND BLANK STARES.

THIS 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE EGR SYSTEM (RECALL W79). ON DECEMBER 29, 2020, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER (TURNERSVILLE JEEP) FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 12 2021. THIS DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE UNTIL FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. THIS DEALER DECLINED TO REPAIR THE EGR SYSTEM UNDER THE W79 RECALL, BUT DID REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND THE FUEL TUBES AFTER FINDING THE FUEL INJECTORS RESTRICTED. THIS DEALER THEN CLEARED THE DTC P026C-00 AND PERFORMED A STATIONARY REGENERATION. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AT 5:15 PM ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 2021 AND PROCEEDED TO ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 75 MILES OF DRIVING, I SUFFERED A EXTEME AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM; THE DASH INDICATORS INCLUDED THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP, AN ERROR REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND AN ERROR THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. AS I COASTED TO A STOP, SMOKE BEGAN TO RAPIDLY POUR FROM THE HOOD COVER AND BEGAN TO ENTER THE CABIN THROUGH THE HVAC VENTS. I VACATED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND UNDER SOME DURESS. THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO BILLOW FROM THE ENGINE AREA OF THE VEHICLE AND I COULD SEE IT CONTINUE TO ENTER THE CABIN. AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM ON JANUARY 15, THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED BY FLATBED TO PELLEGRINO JEEP. I SPOKE WITH THE PELLEGRINO JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 2021, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VE

SEATBELT HAVING TROUBLE RETRACTING.

I WAS TRAVELING AT A 60MPH SPEED ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY OIL TEMP LIGHT CAME ON AND READ 285 DEGREES IN MY OPTIONS LIST YET THE STATIONARY OIL TEMP READ IN THE MIDDLE. I PULLED OVER, LET THE ENGINE COOL, CHECKED THE OIL AND COOLANT (ALL FINE). AFTER 45 MINUTES, IT COOLED TO ABOUT 130 DEGREES, SO I CONTINUED ON. I DROVE ABOUT A MILE WHEN IT HEATED BACK UP AGAIN, THE JEEP JERKED, SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE ENGINE, AND IT TURNED OFF. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT BEFORE IT DIED. SINCE I WAS OUT OF STATE TRAVELING AND IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING, I NEEDED TO FIND A PLACE TO STAY IF MY JEEP WOULD START (IT DID). I FOUND A HOTEL 3 MILES AWAY FROM MY LOCATION. THE ENGINE HAD COOLED, I HAD OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW NO DAMAGE. I DROVE 35MPH FOR THE 3 MILES AS I WATCHED THE OIL TEMP CLIMB. I MADE IT TO THE HOTEL, WAS PARKING WHEN THE CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE. I OPENED THE WINDOWS, SHUT OFF THE JEEP AND GOT OUT. I DID SEE FLAMES COME OUT OF THE HOOD AND SOMETHING ON FIRE FELL FROM UNDER THE ENGINE AREA. I CALLED 911. SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ACTUALLY PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. THEY STILL PROCEEDED TO DOUSE THE ENGINE AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I THEN FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL (W79) ON THE 2015 ECODIESEL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FOR THE (ERG) EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLERS THAT ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THERMAL FATIGUE. THIS CAN CAUSE THE COOLER TO CRACK, ALLOW PREHEATED, VAPORIZED COOLANT TO INTERACT WITH OTHER HYDROCARBONS

THE HEADREST POPPED OUT WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE PLASTIC IN THE HEADREST APPEARS TO BE BROKEN.

LAST FIVE TO SIX WEEKS THE LIGHTS ON THE PASSENGER RIGHT SIDE BACK AND FRONT GOES COMPLETELY OUT BACK AND FRONT THEN COME BACK ON TWO HOURS LATER I HAVE A APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON

HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WITHOUT A REAR END COLLISION OR ANY OTHER MOVING EVENT MY WIFE WAS SIMPLY LOADING THE DOG INTO THE CAR AS IT WAS SITTING IN PARKING LOT AT VET OFFICE.

CAR SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER ON THE DASH, SHIFTER WON'T LIGHT UP AND I DO NOT HAVE TO PRESS THE BUTTON IN THE KNOB TO PUT CAR INTO GEAR, USUALLY YOU WOULD HAVE TO PRESS THE BUTTON.

I THOUGHT SOMEHOW I BROKE MY HEADREST AND DIDN'T REALIZE. BUT WHEN I WENT TO LOOK IT UP AND TO MY SURPRISE I SEE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH HE SAME EXACT ISSUE. CAR WAS NOT MOVING AND WAS PARKED BEHIND MY BUSINESS, CAME BACK TO THE HEADREST DEPLOYED. SURPRISED JEEP HASN'T RECALLED THIS YET SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR ISSUE, CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING AND IT EXPLODED.

I HAVE A DIESEL ENGINE WHICH HAS A VERY OBVIOUS LAG IN GETTING POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS GETTING WORSE AND AFFECTS MY ABILITY TO ENTER IN TO TRAFFIC SAFELY.EVEN IF I HAVE ALLOWED FOR SAFE DISTANCE TO MERGE INTO A LANE I NEVER KNOW IF MY CAR WILL SPEED UP QUICKLY ENOUGH SO AS TO NOT GET HIT

I AM HAVING CONSTANT VALVE TAPPING IN MY ENGINE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS COLD OR WARM, IT TAPS CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE 114,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, BUT HAVE KEPT UP ON ALL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE INCLUDING THE REQUIRED SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL BRAKES ON MY JEEP, SO IT'S NOT DRIVEN HARD. I JUST DON'T THINK THERE SHOULD BE TAPPING WITH A VEHICLE WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILEAGE.

WITHIN THE SAME MONTH PERIOD OF TIME BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELTS ARE NOW COMPLETELY FAILING TO RETRACT. EARLIER THIS YEAR THEY STARTED RETRACTING MORE SLOWLY BUT NOW WILL NOT RETRACT AT ALL MAKING THE SEAT BELTS ESSENTIALLY USELESS. I'VE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO REPORTS THE RETRACTION ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES. THE VEHICLE IS GOING ON 6 YEARS OLD WITH LIMITED USE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $1200 TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO BE DOING EVERY 5-6 YEARS. SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE MORE RELIABLE AND DURABLE THAN 6 YEARS.

THE SEAT REST POPPED OPENED AND IT CANNOT BE PUSHED BACKED TOGETHER. I WAS PARKED AT THE TIME WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. BOTH SEAT BELT LOCKS DO NOT OPEN PROPERLY WITHOUT PUSHING DOWN THE BUCKLE INTO THE LOCK WHILE PRESSING ON THE RELEASE BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

THE LEATHER ON THE DASHBOARD IS BUBBLING. THERE IS SOME SORT OF GLUE ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE.

RECEIVED A RECALL 1 MONTH GO BUT THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR-NO PARTS!! RECALL W58 "A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING" NOW I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE TO WORK BUT NO WAY TO GET IT REPAIRED???

SHORTLY AFTER I TURNED RIGHT, WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED, OUT OF THE BLUE I WAS FORCEFULLY HIT IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD. I PULLED OVER IN CONFUSION TO ASSESS WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THERE WERE NO FLYING OBJECTS IN THE CAR, NOR OTHER CARS BEHIND ME, AS I BRIEFLY WONDERED IF I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. UPON LEAVING MY VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY SAW THAT THE HEADREST WAS SPLIT OPEN, AND WAS THE CAUSE OF THE HARD SMACK ON THE HEAD.

EVAPORATOR CORE BEHIND THE DASH HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK AFTER 65,000 MILES, WITHOUT ANY OFF ROAD USE OR BEING INVOLVED IN ANY CRASHES. PAID $50,000. FOR THIS VEHICLE AND EXPECTED IT TO LAST LONGER, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT A $3000 REPAIR THAT IS A NOT A RESULT OF WEAR AND TEAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC AND WE WERE NEARING A STOP SIGN WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE AND FELT SOMETHING HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD, THRUSTING MY HEAD FORWARD. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT THEN I DISCOVERED THAT MY HEADREST HAD SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. THE HEADREST IS UNABLE TO BE RESET BECAUSE THE PLASTIC PIECES THAT KEEP IT TOGETHER ARE BROKEN, WHICH APPEARS TO BE WHY IT SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED.
