Over a 3 year time span my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee has on multiple occasions had an extremely rough idle, has a hard time accelerating and car drives extremely rough and bumpy. I’ve taken it to multiple different auto shops and all they ever do is change spark plugs OR they just don’t know what’s wrong. No engine light illuminated and no codes. Spark plugs changed March 2020, august 2020, January 2021 and now January 2023 I’m having this problem again and the shop says they don’t think it’s spark plugs . I just want this resolved. This cannot be safe!
2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2016 record →
The headlight lenses are hazing on the inside. I have turned this defect in for warranty repair and repair was denied. I contacted Jeep and I was told since it was denied there is nothing more they can do. The hazing on the inside of the lese is defusing the lights and visibility is drastically reduced at night. I have researched this issue and what I find out is the haze is caused by the heat of the BiXenon HID is burning the inside of the headlight lense.
Vehicle is currently at a Jeep dealership for the 8th time with another Brake Concern. Brakes repetitively seize causing brakes to rapidly overheat, smoke emitting from the wheel, about to catch fire. Two Dealerships have failed to "duplicate the concern" until I get it there with the wheel about to catch on fire. Initially the drive side rear was the problem, 2 months after having the car returned to me, the passenger side rear began doing the same thing. I have contacted Jeep Customer Care and my concerns over the safety of the vehicle have been dismissed, they stated "this is not a known issue, if you have any other questions or concerns please contact us again". There have been no warning lights from the vehicle, it will be operating fine one trip, and the next trip you will stop after a short drive a cloud of smoke will be coming from the wheel, and the smell of burning brakes. As the brake continues to heat up while you are driving, the vehicle will begin to violently shake and vibrate.
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the driver's head restraint exploded, which caused him to sustain a whiplash injury. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the parts for the repair were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was a leak in the evap system. The mechanic replaced the Evaporative System Integrity Module (ESIM). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 63,635.
The shifter inside my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee failed. It started by losing the indicator that told you what gear it was in. Although there is an additional indicator on the dashboard, I would begin to have incidents where it would show in park on the dashboard but would be in reverse. While waiting on parts to come in at the dealership, the shifter lost all power and would not shift out of park. Vehicle was towed to dealership for service.
I have only 78,000 miles on my 2016 jeep Grand Cherokee limited and I am having issues with ignition coil. The number 5 cylinder isn't working like it should.
Alternator failed and passenger seat belt does not retract. Coils misfired.
This Jeep has electrical malfunctions that causes problems with the entire functioning of the vehicle. The ignition often doesn’t work, indicator warning lights suddenly flash, and worse yet, the brakes will come on in the middle of driving. Once incident made me fear for my life because the brakes suddenly came on while I was driving on the highway.
The engine oil cooler failed allowing engine oil to contaminate the entire engine cooling system and leak out. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk because the engine oil leak caused my oil level to drop rapidly risking an engine freeze/lock up on the highway. The problem was confirmed by a dealer and an independent service center, but has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure nor afterward.
Dashboard leather trim has come so wrinkled, unglued that it blocks my front windshield defrosters from working efficiently.
I started the car and before I could change gear, the engine check light came up immediately so I took the car to a dealership to get it checked out. The dealership mechanic accessed the problem and said it was a leaking fuel tank filler pipe assembly that caused the system to not seal. My concern is that my vehicle has never been in any accident so how can a leaking pipe occur with just normal driving?? It must be a manufacturer defect because a leaking pipe can't happen with just normal driving. If it did then that means all the cars on the road will have leaking fuel pipes from regular driving.
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 75 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The check engine warning light had remained illuminated. The contact was able to veer off to the side of the road where the vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic. The certified mechanic diagnosed that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving approximately 15 mph the vehicle suddenly began to lose automotive power before stalling. Moments later while attempting to restart the engine smoke and flames were seen coming from under the hood of the vehicle. A contact used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the flames and the fire department was called to the scene. During the incident, no injuries were reported. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer but the cause of the failure was unknown. The manufacturer was also contacted regarding the incident. The failure mileage was 55,000
Initially called to schedule an appointment with the jeep dealership due to engine coolant loss in December of 2021 in regards to a recall of egr cooler (W79). Couldn't get an appointment until 2/25/2022. Told it was safe to drive until. 2/25 took vehicle in for inspection of said recall, told yes it does have problem, but no parts until 3/14/2022, safe to drive. Brought back 3/14/22 dealership still has vehicle, not safe to drive, still waiting on parts. Now there is a new recall (Z46), vehicle unsafe to drive, no parts or time when parts will be available.
Driving 55 MPH, my vehicle had a slight jerk in transmission, engine light popped on. Alert popped up on dashboard and stated “Place car into P, Trans”. Car automatically shifted into neutral, and I rolled over to side of road, shifted car in park. Car remained running but would not shift back into drive
My Electronic Stability Control, Cruise Control and Traction Control all went offline without any notice. Dealership can not figure out what to do. This is a huge issue in my opinion because of the inability to keep the car straight when hitting a pothole or any bumps in the road. the vehicle does not stay in a straight line. I have reported the problem to the dealership with no help. It hasn't caused a wreck yet, but I'm afraid I'm just postponing the inevitable.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the driver's side dashboard leather lifted and blocked the defroster from operating as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the dashboard was not covered under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
I have an error message coming on stating service shifter then a message to tell you how to get into park if it’s not working It doesn’t come on every time I drive it but it’s annoying when it dings upon stopping and taking off! So far it hasn’t stopped working but I don’t want to be on the road traveling and it does I seen a recall on some Jeep Grand Cherokee but my VIIN isn’t coming up on the recall list They have checked it at the dealership but they don’t know what it is
When I turn car on, radio sometimes makes loud thump noice. Time resets to different times, until it goes to current time. Radio volume mutes on and off. And when I try to pair call, I can’t connect phone via bluetooth.
My 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee 75th edition 3.0L Ecodiesel stalled with no warning while driving on a two lane highway in the middle of NoWhere, New Mexico. No warning lights, until the entire dashboard turned on and the car starting losing speed and power. I don't know how I was lucky enough to make it to the shoulder. I sat there for 2 hours with my 2 kids in the car waiting for a tow, 8 hours from home. I have come to find out that there is one recall for my EGR but when taken to the dealership I was told that my car was built with magnetic material attached to the tone wheel which provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor and was lost therefore leaving me stalled and stranded. I have looked up my recalls and that one is not on there! How is that possible.
The airbag sensor indicator light for front passenger seat illuminated on my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited at only 80,000 miles even when adult passengers are sitting in the seat. This conveys that there is an airbag malfunction. It has stayed illuminated. This poses a danger to passengers in the front passenger seat. It has not been inspected by a mechanic or dealer yet.
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle began to vibrate, and he heard an abnormal noise. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to drive to his destination. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the camshaft to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,500.
My first report (#11396370) was made to you in February 2021. The recall was started in 2020 and as of this date my jeep dealer does not have the parts to repair my vehicle. According to reports, I am driving a "time bomb" ready to burst into flames and threatening the safety and lives of me, my family, and my passengers. To make things worse jeep has notified me that the "U-Connect" emergency contact system will become degraded and inoperable in the coming months making it impossible for me to contact "911" or the jeep emergency assistance contact system. The latter being a paid service (similar to GMC's "On-Star" system) for which they have not promulgated any remedy, any thought of a remedy, or attempt to provide any remedy. THE BOTTOM LINE: I am driving a "time bomb" without a here to fore active emergency contact system with no resolution or parts available from Jeep. Someone needs to report and inquire about the above cited Jeep issues.
Stopped at a red light and when it turned green, I pressed on the gas pedal and no acceleration. Looked at the dashboard and saw “Shift to P” the engine stalled and I had to roll out of the way of traffic, pressed the brake to a complete stop and restart the ignition/engine and was able to drive again.
I stopped at a traffic light and the the "D" Drive transmission light began to flash. The car would not move. It was like it was in Neutral. I had to shift the car to Park. Turn it off and turn it back on before the transmission would engage and the car would move. What happened is similar to Recall s28
I purchased a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ecodeisel in 2018 through a loan. Since day one it has been nothing but issues. I feel I purchased a lemon. There has been several recalls on the vehicle over the time I have owned the vehicle. I have received the required services for each recall expecting the issues to be resolved. The issues continue to this day. In fact my check engine light came on again after it was serviced roughly 2 weeks ago. The check engine light comes on at least once a month. To top it off due to the EcoDeisel problems they had an ecodeisel settlement I submitted a claim for. I submitted all the required documents several months before the deadline to get reimbursement the qualified amount but I have not received a dime. I tried to reach out via email and phone calls but never got a response. No reply from emails and whenever I called I would only automated prompts and then it would hang up on me. I tried several different options hoping to get through but never could speak to a live person. I feel I have been cheated.
My 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee driver side headrest clips broke on their own. I was sitting in the parking lot of my child’s daycare.
Twice in recent months the car accelerated on its own while idling. I received no warning or message. Both times the car surged forward a short distance. I applied the brake both times, but it didn’t seem to have much effect. The car seemed to slow on its own. My search of the internet uncovered many instances of sudden unintended acceleration involving the Jeep Cherokee, some resulting in severe injury/property damage, so it is definitely a safety issue. There have been many complaints, over many years, about this same problem, but I could not find mention of a recall notice or service advisory. Apparently there has been no definitive identification of the cause. I would gladly have the car inspected, but suspect that the problem can not be easily reproduced. I have had the vehicle for 5 years and only experienced this problem twice. Of course it only has to happen once to cause serious harm.
OEM WATER PUMP FAILED AT 29,000 MILES, IN JULY 2019, COMPONENT WAS RR. ON 4/8/2021 AT 35,900 MILES WATER PUMP FAILED AGAIN.
THE HEADREST ON THE DRIVER SEAT OF MY 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE POPPED OPEN WHILE I WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE.
WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THE FIRST TIME, A REPAIR SHOP RESET THE EPS (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) MODULE AND NO PROBLEM FOR 6 MONTHS AFTERWARDS. A DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT OUT AFTER AND SAID NO ISSUE WITH EPS. 6 MONTHS AFTER, I HAD THE SECOND INCIDENT. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. LESS THAN 45K MILES AND I WAS THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. SEEMS LIKE NHTSA 10139995 IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY WITH THE ERROR CODE C2217.
THERE IS A KNOWN POTENTIAL PROBLEM OF THE INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF ONE OR BOTH OF THE FRONT SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS. THIS CAN CAUSE A CONCUSSION AND CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AFTER BEING STRUCK IN THE HEAD. THE CAUSE IS A CHEAP PLASTIC PIN THAT IS UNDER CONSTANT PRESSURE AND HAS DETERIORATED OVER TIME AND RELEASE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS KNOWN POTENTIAL PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME YET. BUT JEEP (FCA) ISSUED A WARNING AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. THEY ARE ONLY FIXING THIS IF IT HAS DEPLOYED, LEAVING ALL OTHER CUSTOMERS WORRYING AND WAITING FOR A POTENTIAL HIT TO THE HEAD ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING. THERE ALREADY IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST FCA IN FLORIDA.
MONTHS AGO, I WAS ADVISED OF AN ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE A DESTRUCTIVE VEHICLE FIRE. AS OF THIS DATE THERE IS NO CORRECTION AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL AND NO INDICATION THAT MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPLACED IF IT IS DESTROYED BY THE RESULTING FIRE. FURTHER, THERE IS NO REMEDY PROMULGATED FOR MY HEIRS IF I OR OTHERS LOOSE THEIR LIFE IN THE FIRE. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON MY AVAILABLE ACTIONS.
THE RADIO SCREEN STOPPED WORKING BUT WILL COME BACK AT TIMES. WHEN THE SCREEN GOES BLANK, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING OR ADJUST ANYTHING THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE ON THE SCREEN. WHICH MEANS I CAN NOT CONTROL HEAT OR GET ANY. IT IS LIKE THIS DURING DRIVING OR SITTING STILL.
ON JANUARY 22, 2021 AT 0645HRS, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN QUEENS NY AND WHILE STOPPED AT A STEADY RED LIGHT MY VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN I NOTICED ON THE DASHBOARD READ 'SHIFT TO P' AND I HAD TO SHIFT TO PARK, PRESS ENGINE START, SHIFT TO DRIVE AND CONTINUE ON MY WAY HOME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED.
MY 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO MAKES A GRABBING FEEL OR NOISE WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 1ST SO NOT SURE IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANS. OR MAYBE THE BREAKS I FEEL IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY ANSWERS EXCEPT YUM THAT'S NORMAL FOR THE JEEP I CALL BULL**** BUT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS IN MOTION SLOWING DOWN AND TURNING MOSTLY.
THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT SO NOT SURE WHY THE LIGHT IS COMING OFF OR ON? THANKS
UCONNECT RADIO/SATELLITE CHANNELS RANDOMLY CHANGE BY THEMSELVES WHICH IS A REAL DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. I STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

WHILE DRIVING 10-15 MPH ON A DESOLATE RESIDENTIAL STREET, MY HEADS UP DISPLAY READ 'SHIFT TO P' WITH NO RESPONSE WITH THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF BUT ACC WAS ON AND I WAS ABLE BRAKE TO A STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PRESS PUSH TO START TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE OPERATED PROPERLY AFTERWARDS AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HALF A BLOCK TO MY HOUSE AND PARK. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY I MIGHT BE DEAD.
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND TOWING MY BOAT (APPROX 4500LBS) FOR THE PREVIOUS HOUR OR SO ON STATE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 50-65 MPH WITH SOME STOPLIGHTS (NOT INTERSTATE), THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) CAME ON AND THE DRIVER INTERFACE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAME ON DISPLAYING SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF "SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM". CONTINUED DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES TO GET TO AN INTERSECTION TO TURN OFF THE MAIN ROAD. ONCE STOPPED AT THE STOPLIGHT I NOTICED SLIGHT SMOKE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE HOOD BY THE HEADLIGHT. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, PUT THE HAZARDS ON AND PULLED THE HOOD RELEASE. BY THE TIME I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND MADE MY WAY AROUND THE DOOR TO THE HOOD, THICK BLACK SMOKE WAS BILLOWING FROM ALL AROUND THE HOOD AND FLAMES WERE NOTICED COMING THROUGH BODY GAPS AND THE GRILL. WITHIN 30 SECONDS THE ENTIRE ENGINE BAY AND HOOD WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I DID MANAGE TO GET THE BOAT UNHOOKED AND PUSHED BACK AND DOCUMENTED WITH PHOTOS.

ADDITIONALLY THE DEALER PERFORMED ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.0 ECO DIESEL ENGINE AND WAS BOUGHT NEW, DEALER, SERVICED ITS E
THIS IS NOW 4TH OR 5TH TIME. DRIVING CAR, CAME TO A STOP THEN IT STALLED ON ME. THIS TIME SOMETHING DIFFERENT HAPPENED. AFTER TRYING TO SHUT DOWN, RESTART IT AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO 4 LOW! I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNLIKE LAST TIME. THIS TIME I HAVE FOOTAGE OF THE ENTIRE EVENT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT OTHER JEEPS SAME YEAR AS MINE ARE BEING RECALLED FOR SAME REASON, BUT MINE ISN'T MAKING THE VIN CUT. THIS IS NOW MY 3RD REPORT TO THIS SITE. THE OTHERS WERE DONE BEFORE NEW RECALL CAME OUT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS KILLS SOMEONE.
WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING AS WELL AS GEAR LIGHT BY THE SHIFTER. LOST POWER AND COSTED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LEFT TURN LANE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM SO FAR.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
