2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

FOR THE SECOND TIME, I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE STATE POLICE BECAUSE MY TAIL LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AT NIGHT. IN BOTH CASES, IT IS LIKELY THAT WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY JEEP MY KNEE BRUSHED THE DIAL THAT CONTROLS THE HEADLIGHTS AND MOVED IT FROM "A" TO "O" (AUTO TO OFF). BOTH TIMES IT WAS AFTER DARK AND BECAUSE OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, IT WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY CLEAR TO ME THAT THE HEADLIGHTS (AND TAILLIGHTS) WERE NOT ON. IN BOTH CASES, THE TROOPER LET ME OFF, BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD CREATE A MAJOR PROBLEM IF A CAR WERE FOLLOWING ME AND DID NOT SEE ME.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR 10 MONTHS. SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST TEN MONTHS, WHEN STOPPED AND THEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FULLY WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL OR LAUNCH CONTROL ENGAGED, THE THROTTLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT IS REMOVED FULLY FROM THE GAS PEDAL. IT FORCES YOU TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND BRAKE UNTIL THE THROTTLE BECOMES "UNSTUCK" AND THE RPMS OF THE ENGINE COME BACK DOWN. I AM MECHANICALLY INCLINED AND HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THE FLOOR MAT OR SOMETHING AROUND THE PEDAL OR PEDAL MECHANISM WAS CAUSING THE PEDAL TO BE STUCK BUT THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF ANY MECHANICAL INTERFERENCE. I HAVE READ FROM OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE HIGH PERFORMANCE TRIMS (SRT AND TRACKHAWK) OF THE GRAND CHEROKEE. AGAIN CRUISE CONTROL AND LAUNCH CONTROL WERE NOT ACTIVATED IN ANY WAY. I KNOW THERE WAS A CRUISE CONTROL RECALL FOR THROTTLE STICKING BUT THIS IS NOT BEING OBSERVED WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET OR ON. IS THIS PERHAPS A RELATED ISSUE ??

THROTTLE RESPONSE HESITATES FROM 1.5 TO 2 FULL SECONDS DURING ACCELERATION IN INTERSECTIONS AND STOP AND GO SITUATIONS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A COLLISION WAITING TO HAPPEN SITUATION. THE PROBLEM IS ESPECIALLY ANNOYING IN 4X4 LOW RANGE SITUATIONS. THE ENGINE OVER ACCELERATES WHEN THROTTLE RESPONSE FINALLY KICKS-IN CAUSING VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD. THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION OFTEN JOLTS THE TRANSMISSION AND DRIVETRAIN STARTLING THE DRIVER. DEALERSHIP HAS INVESTIGATED SAYING IT IS A NORMAL DELAY IN THE COMPUTER OPERATED THROTTLE. THAT IS BS. ANY DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE WITH SUBSEQUENT OVER ACCELERATION IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!

WE HAVE GOODYEAR FORTERA TIRES ON A "TRAIL RATED" JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PURCHASED NEW WITH THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY, SLIGHTLY MORE THAT 33,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW DECEMBER 2016. WE HAVE HAD 4 FLAT TIRES ON 3 TIRES. TWO OF THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITHIN 2 DAYS OF EACH OTHER. EACH RESULTING FROM A SMALL ROCK PENETRATING THE RUBBER. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAVE CALLED JEEP CORPORATE AND THE DEALER. NEITHER WILL LISTEN TO OUR CONCERNS. I CALLED GOODYEAR WHO STATED THAT FOR THIS VEHICLE, LT TIRES AREN RECOMMENDED BUT WAS NOT CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD WITH THESE TIRES AND IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS WE HAVE 4 FLAT TIRES DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. TIRES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE OF A VEHICLE. IS THERE AN ISSUE WITH THE RUBBER OF THE TIRE. GOODYEAR FORTERA TIRES HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE OTHER RECALL IN THE RECENT PAST.

DRIVER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT DOING APPROX 2 MILES PER HOUR. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR PROPELLED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CEMENT PARKING BLOCK AND HIT THE BUILDING THAT THE PARKING SPOT WAS IN FRONT OF. DRIVER WAS GOING TOO SLOW AND HAD FOOT OVER BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME SO HOW DID THE CAR JUST PROPEL FORWARD? 1 MONTH OR SO AFTER ACCIDENT RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM. TOOK CAR INTO THE JEEP DEALER WHO SAID THAT WHAT THE JEEP DID COULD TOTALLY HAVE BEEN A RESULT OF THE RECALL????!!!!!!!

2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. FIRST NOTICED ABOUT A MONTH AFTER DRIVING IT. APPROX. MILEAGE ABOUT 5,000 ON INITIAL COMPLAINT; CURRENT MILEAGE ABOUT 23,000. VEHICLE WILL BEEP AT YOU AND DASH WILL STATE "VEHICLE NOT IN PARK". FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND I LOST ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS. OTHER TIMES WHEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF IT KEEPS RADIO AND INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS ON. MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS STATE THAT THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND THAT NO CODES ARE BEING STORED. CHRYSLER HOOKED UP A DATA RECORDER TO THE VEHICLE AND STATED NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY SHOWED UP ONCE IT HAPPENED. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IF VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER DURING THE INCIDENT, THAT THE DATA RECORDER WOULD NOT REFLECT THOSE CONDITIONS. THE COMPANY WILL NOT REPLACE, REPAIR, OR BUY BACK WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR NOT ONLY THE PASSENGERS AND DRIVER, BUT ALSO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IF ON A BUSY STREET IT SHUTS OFF WITH NO LIGHTS, THERE WILL BE GREATER RISK OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AT SPEED. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP REPS, LOOKED INTO PUSH BUTTON CONTROLLER AND RECEIVER, AUTO START/STOP FEATURE, KEY FOBS, AND ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM. ALL OPEN RECALLS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED ON MY JEEP. ALL RECOMMENDED FACTORY MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE RECORDED, BUT IS THE MOST SERIOUS DUE TO LIFE SAFETY CONCERNS.

ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE TAILGATE OF THE VEHICLE HAS OPENED ON ITS OWN. IT HAS HAPPENED DURING VARIOUS HOURS OF THE DAY, BOTH DAYTIME AND OVERNIGHT. AND ON THREE OF THOSE OCCASIONS THE HOME LINK SYSTEM HAS ALSO BEEN ACTIVATED WHICH THEN OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE REAR OF THE TAILGATE. ALSO, SINCE THE ONSET OF THIS ISSUE THE HOME LINK BUTTON DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK EVEN IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE GARAGE DOOR ITSELF.

MY CAR ACCELERATION PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK AND THE CAR WOULD PROMPT ME TO GO TO PARK TO RESTART, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. IT WOULD QUICKLY DECELERATE AND WAS A DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY. PROBLEM WOULD NOT PRODUCE A CODE AND COULD NOT BE REPLICATED SO THEY RETURNED THE CAR BACK TO ME TO BE DRIVEN BY MY FAMILY. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN NO SOLUTION WAS EVER GIVEN. WE GOT RID OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO OUR FAMILY. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT JEEP KNOWS ABOUT AND IS NOT FIXING. THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK FOR THEIR OWN MONITARY GAIN.

2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ACCELERATING FULL THROTTLE WHILE VEHICLE IS SET TO CRUISE CONTROL. *LD *JS

TAKATA RECALL. MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 2017 WAS BEING DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY 52 IN JUANA DIAZ PUERTO RICO. AT THE TIME IT HAD STARTED RAINING AND THE VEHICLE WAS GOING BETWEEN 55-60MPH. THE "SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL" MESSAGE CAME ON DURING THE WEEK TWICE BUT THEN IT NEVER CAME UP AGAIN, ON THIS DAY THE MESSAGE DID NOT SHOW UP AT ALL AND WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE PULLED TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE (LEFT) AND CRASHED INTO THE SECURITY SECURITY FENCE, AFTER THIS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS LOST AND THE BRAKES STOPPED RESPONDING WHICH LEAD TO A SECOND CRASH WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE (RIGHT) SECURITY FENCE. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE AND ABRUPT HALT BECAUSE THE ENTIRE FRONT TRAIN WAS DESTROYED, THE FRONT WHEELS LITERALLY FELL OFF THE SUV BECAUSE THE IRON SEEMED LIKE IT HAD BEEN CUT THROUGH WITH A KNIFE. WHAT IS COMPLETELY SURPRISING IS THE FACT THAT AFTER TWO MAJOR COLLISIONS THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AT ALL WHICH LEAD THE PASSENGER TO RECEIVE A BLOW TO HEAD AND THE DRIVER A BLOW TO THE HIP AND LEFT KNEE (THANKFULLY THEY WERE CLEARED OF MAJOR INJURIES BY DOCTORS), ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITH BOTH VICTIMS OF THE CRASH USING THEIR SEATBELTS IN THE CORRECT MANNER. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT AT THE TIME (APPROXIMATELY 11:15AM).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK ON AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE ENGAGED IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (GILLMAN CHRYSLER JEEP RAM DODGE, 10585 W SAM HOUSTON PARKWAY S, HOUSTON, TX 77099) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ALL THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL WERE DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. WAS DRIVING WITH KIDS AND WIFE I BEGAN COMING TO A STOP AND WAS GOING ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT. IT SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ALONG WITH THE BREAK PEDAL WAS NONOE FUNCTIONAL AS WELL AS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE GEAR SHIFT. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO PARK AND LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 4 MINUTES. I FINALLY GOT IT INTO PARK AND THEN IT WOULDN'T START FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN MY AREA. IT FINALLY STARTED AND WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT IS PRETTY MUCH BRAND NEW. (33K) ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RAN TEST AND HAS TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A 2018 JEEP IN THE SAME PLACE DOING THE SAME THING. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR THERE FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND NOW WE HAVE TO COME PIC IT UP. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE JEEP AS WE WAS IN MOTION, COMING TO A STOP AND WAS NOT TURNING. I WOULD SAY IT'S A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION.

DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS 4 TIMES 7/30/18 WE HAD NO HEADLIGHTS,NO TAILLIGHTS,NO TURN SIGNALS,NO BRAKE LIGHTS,AND NO WAY OF KNOWING THEY DIDN'T WORK. TODAY 7/31/2018 WENT TO START CAR LOCKED INTO RUN BUT WASN'T RUNNING COULDN'T MOVE OUT OF PARK WON'T START AGAIN

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN WY, 70-75MPH, ROLLING TRRAIN, CRUISE CONTROL ON. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE DE-ACELERATED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN AUTOMATIC WHEN THIS OCCURED. BOTH OF MY HANDS ON THE WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPENED. TRIED TO RE-ACELERATE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS VERY SLUGGISH. THE GEAR WAS STUCK IN HIGH GEAR, WHICH WOULD NOT CHANGE UNTIL I PULLED OVER, PUT THE GEAR IN PARK, AND THEN IN DRIVE. NO INJURIES, NO DAMAGE, BUT I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. COULD HAVE BEEN A BADPROBLEM IF I WAS IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC. WHEN I GOT HOME I RECIEVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR UDDEN ACCELERATION WITH THE CRUISE ON.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, SUMMIT, DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, THE POWER STEERING AND LAND SENSE SUDDENLY BECAME UNAVAILABLE. THE JEEP VEERED TO THE RIGHT HARD, NEARLY HITTING THE CAR NEXT TO ME, AND OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER STEERING. 2 WARNINGS IMMEDIATELY DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED AND LANDSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED." THIS VEHICLE HAS 23,395MILES ON IT. NOTE**** THIS OCCURRED THE DAY AFTER IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL SAFETY RECALL U65 REPAIR. THE JEEP WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER EXPERIENCED NO POWER STEERING WHILE LOADING AND UNLOADING THE JEEP. THE SERVICE TECH HOWEVER; HAD NO PROBLEM AND DID NOT WITNESS THE LACK OF POWER STEERING. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS DONE AND I WAS TOLD " IT WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH" I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE!

FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS REQUIRED REPLACING AT 23,000 WITHOUT WARNING. AN INSPECTION AT 17,000 MILES WAS NORMAL. TIRE WEAR IS NORMAL AND AT 30,000 VEHICLE IS STILL ON ITS ORIGINAL TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS NO WARNING SYSTEM OF BRAKE PAD WEAR

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO TWO PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT CRASHED INTO SOME BUSHES. ANOTHER DRIVER ASSISTED THE CONTACT BY ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE BUSHES; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO JERK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO STERLING HEIGHTS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (40111 VANDYKE AVENUE, STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN 48313, (586)-939-3900) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT'S HEAD STRUCK THE HEADREST AND STEERING WHEEL, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. *TT

I BOUGHT A NEW 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN FEBRUARY 2017. VEHICLE COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN AT A MAIN STREET INTERSECTION ON APRIL 2017 AND WOULD NOT MOVE. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. 2 WEEKS LATER VEHICLE JUST TURN OFF ON MAJOR FREEWAY. AGAIN RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP. JUNE 2018 ENTERING MAJOR HIGHWAY TRANSMISSION CHANGED GEARS AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. PER DEALERSHIP SOFTWARE UPDATE FIXED PROBLEM. 2 DAYS LATER DROVE FOR OVER AN HOUR AND WHILE STOPPED AT INTERSECTION VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE..NOT ACCELERATING. CURRENTLY VEHICLE BACK AT DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PER SERVICE REP TRANSMISSION ON BACK ORDER AND NO ETA ON WHEN VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED. THIS IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE AND I AM GO HONESTLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, EVERY TIME I START MY CAR, THE RADIO IS ON NEARLY AT FULL VOLUME. THE CAR PLAYS THE SAME STATION AT THE SAME HIGH VOLUME. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF WHEN I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, THE RADIO IS OFF, OR THE RADIO IS ON. IT ALSO DOES NOT MATTER IF I REMOTELY START THE VEHICLE OR START WHILE I'M IN THE CAR. THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE DESIGNED SO THAT THE RADIO IS ALWAYS OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED. POOR DESIGN. SHOULD I EXPECT A TESLA LIKE RESPONSE BY EXPECTING CHRYSLER TO SEND A SOFTWARE PATCH VIA SATELLITE DIRECTLY TO MY VEHICLE TO UPDATE THIS ISSUE? BTW, THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS EXPECTED BEHAVIOR.

NO INDICATOR OR ALARM IS PROVIDED WHEN THE TAILGATE IS OPEN AND THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO REVERSE!!!! WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE IN CHICAGO. I LOADED MY BAGGAGE IN THE TRUNK AND HIT THE BUTTON ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK TO CLOSE THE LIFT GATE. I THEN SAT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND STARTED TO BACK-UP. WHEN I BACKED UP, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND FOUND THAT THE LIFT GATE HAD RETURNED TO IT'S OPEN POSITION AND SCRAPPED ALONG THE CEILING OF THE GARAGE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. WHEN I WAS LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR TO BACK-UP, EVERYTHING LOOKED CLEAR. I DID NOT SEE FROM THE REAR VIEW MIRROR THAT THE LIFT GATE WAS OPEN. I DID SAY THIS OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS WHEN I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK ON THE LACK OF AN ALERT AND ALSO ASKED THEM TO REPAINT THE SCRATCH THAT WAS LEFT ON THE LIFT GATE FROM CONTACT WITH HE CEILING. THEY ASKED ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE DESIGN INTENT BECAUSE DRIVERS LIKE TO DRIVE THEIR JEEPS WITH THE LIFT GATE OPEN. I SAID, IN REVERSE???? A DRIVERS ALERT SHOULD BE MANDATORY - A LOUD CHIME IS EXPECTED IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A BUG IN THE PROGRAMMING OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I EITHER USE THE REMOTE, OR THE BUTTON IN THE TRUNK AREA TO CLOSE THE LIFT GATE, AS I WALK TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND OPEN THE DOOR, THE LIFTGATE STOPS CLOSING AND RETURNS TO OPEN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME BUT GREATER THAN 75% THE LIFTGATE WILL STOP CLOSING WHEN I OPEN THE FRONT DOOR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH AND SLOWING FOR A TURNING CAR AHEAD, THE CARS EMERGENCY BRAKING TURNED ON AND TRIED TO STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE THIS WEEK.

TWICE WHILE IN MOTION, AFTER MAKING A TURN AND SLOWING FROM 35 TO ABOUT 14 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. ONCE IN DEC 2017, NEXT IN MAY 2018, I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN BOTH CASES IN ORDER TO START THE ENGINE. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME.

WHEN ENGINE START STOP FEATURE IS ACTIVATED THE CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS, THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN YOU TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE AND THE ENGINE RESTARTS IT EITHER LUNGES THE CAR FORWARD FORCIBLY OR THE CAR LUNGES BACKWARDS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH DIDNT PROPERLY ENGAGE TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD, MY CAR HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN CAR IS OFF AND YOU TOUCH HANDLE TO OPEN DOOR IT SOMETIMES CAUSES ELECTRICAL SHOCK. WE NOTICED THESE ISSUES DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF DRIVING CAR MAY 2017

TAKATA RECALL: 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IMPACT W/DEER FRONT CENTER/RIGHT AND RIGHT FRONT QUARTER PANEL. ON A STATE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION COMING DOWNHILL DOING 55MPH AND BRAKED HARD - PUMPED ONCE TO TRY TO AVOID IMPACT WHEN I SAW DEER. HAVE NOT ACQUIRED SRS DATA. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON EITHER DRIVERS OR PASSENGER SIDE. DEER GOT AIRBORNE AS MY VEHICLE WAS STILL IN MOTION. THE DEER WENT OVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDOW. THOUGHT HER HOOF WAS COMING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. FELT IT UNSAFE THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I TOOK IT IN TO BODY SHOP AND THE ESTIMATED $2,000 TURNED INTO OVER $6,000 BECAUSE THE FINS ON THE RADIATOR WERE BENT. THOUGHT THE SENSORS SHOULD HAVE DETECTED THE SPEED AND FORCE OF IMPACT BUT PERHAPS THE INERTIA AND MOVEMENT OF MY VEHICLE NOT STOPPING IMMEDIATELY AND ATTEMPTED BRAKING DID NOT WARRANT A "SEVERE" IMPACT?!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER COULD NOT BE MOVED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE GEAR SHIFTER WITH FORCE INTO PARK AND THE VEHICLE JOLTED AGGRESSIVELY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A LARGE ROCK THAT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVE TRAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DRIVE TRAIN, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

I WAS WAITING FOR MY WIFE AT THE TRAIN STATION AND PLAYING WITH THE QUATRA SUSPENSION BUTTONS TO THE RIGHT OF THE SHIFT. I KEPT PLAYING, PUSHING TO SEE WHAT LIGHTS GO ON. AND WHEN I SAW HER I PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT TOOK OFF LIKE A SHOT ACCELERATING UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKE HARD AND THREW IT INTO NETURAL. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I NEVER TOUCHED THE GAS PETAL OR ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED ANYTHING ELSE.IT WAS SO FRIGHTENING.WHAT WAS SO FRIGHTENING WAS THE INTENSITY OF THE ACCELERATION. IF ANYONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED

2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION, ANALOG SPEEDOMETER AND TIRE PRESSURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE BRAKES FAILED. *TR

MY CAR HAS STOP/START SYSTEM SO WHEN I PUT MY BRAKES ON TO STOP THE VEHICLE IT CUTS OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT AUTOMATICALLY RESTARTS THE ENGINE. VERY RECENTLY WHEN I HAD STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC RED LIGHT, AND A TRAFFIC JAM, ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH BRAKING AND DID NOT RESTART. I COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR EITHER, AND THE GEAR WAS LOCKED ON PARK. COULD NOT PUT THE CAR ON NEUTRAL GEAR TO MOVE IT OUT OF MAIN ROAD. THERE WERE ABOUT 10 CARS BEHIND ME. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT FINALLY RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL TRIALS, MAY BE 10 OR 12 TRIALS WHILE I WAS WAITING TOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. I WAS ALSO WORRIED THAT THE CAR COULD NOT BE TOWED WITHOUT PUTTING IT IN TO NEUTRAL GEAR. THIS HAPPENED ON FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER SERVICE CENTER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY FIRST CHANGED AUXILIARY BATTERY AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE VERY NEXT DAY CAR STARTED STOPPING AGAIN. THEY THEN CHANGED THE 2ND (MAIN) BATTERY. PROBLEM REMAINED. THEN FINALLY THEY FOUND THAT ONE OF THE BATTERY WIRES WAS NOT SECURELY CONNECTED TO THE STARTER VIA A CONNECTOR. THEY HAVE PUT A NEW CONNECTOR. IT IS A SCARY SITUATION, AND CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF LIFE ON ROAD. IF IT KNOCKS OFF THE ENGINE BEHIND A TRAFFIC JAM AND DOES NOT START BACK IT MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND EVEN DEATH. IT IS ONLY 6 MONTH OLD BRAND NEW CAR AND I DID NOT EXPECT THIS PROBLEM. IT CAN NOT BE EASILY PUT IN NEUTRAL GEAR IF ENGINE CAN NOT BE STARTED WHICH IS A MAJOR TRAF

SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE CAR DOES NOT EASILY ACCEPT FUEL. IT CUTS ME OFF. IT CAN TAKE 30 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK, AN OUNCE AT A TIME.

BOUGHT MY 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK USED WITH 10,600 MILES ON IT. GAS ISSUES FROM THE GET GO: WHEN GETTING GAS, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF EVER FEW SECONDS LIKE THE GAS TANK IS FULL ONLY ALLOWING A FEW CENTS WORTH OF GAS TO ACTUALLY GO IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TO MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS AT ALL OF THEM, TRIED TURNING THE NOZZLE TO DIFFERENT ANGLES AND ALMOST HOLDING IT ALL THE WAY OUT OF AND IN THE TANK, IT DOES NOT MATTER THOUGH. AIR SUSPENSION: AFTER OWNING THE JEEP FOR 3 MONTHS, ONE MONDAY MORNING WHEN I TURNED IT ON TO GO TO WORK A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING "SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY", MILEAGE WAS AT 14,990. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ONE TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE DRIVING IT, DROVE TO WORK AND RESTARTED IT AFTER I PARKED, EACH TIME THE SAME MESSAGE CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. I CALLED THE CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS OK TO DRIVE AND COULD NOT SEE THE JEEP UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. DROPPED THE JEEP OFF, THEIR SYSTEM SAID THE MODULE WAS BAD, THEY REPLACED IT, THIS DID NOT WORK. THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER, NO FIX HAS OCCURED, MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BUT NOTHING HAS WORKED. 3.5 WEEKS AND STILL COUNTING WITHOUT MY JEEP. THE JEEP GARAGE SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER BC THEY DO NOT KNOW THE SOLUTION AND ARE WAITING ON JEEP ENGINEERS TO TELL THEM WHAT TO TRY NEXT. SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINEERS ARE JUST TRYING EXPERIMENTS TO SEE WHAT WILL WORK. WHEN WAITING ON THE MODULE TO COME IN THE FIRST WEEK I ASKED IF I COULD DRIVE IT UNTIL THE

MY CAR HAS 3500 MILE ON IT. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY HOWEVER IT WAS IN GEAR, I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, AND HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN. IT LURCHED AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CAME UP WITH A MESSAGE SAYING "PLACE CAR IN PARK THEN SELECT GEAR" WHILE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AT THE GEAR SHIFTER AT THE D WHERE IT WAS AT AND ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR WHERE INDICATING THAT MY CAR WAS IN "DRIVE" I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH A GREEN LIGHT AND THEN PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND LUCKILY IT DID ENGAGE. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE MOVING AND ON THE FREEWAY, WHICH SCARES ME BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM GETTING ONTO THE FREEWAY MYSELF. THE CAR WOULD NOT LET ME DO ANYTHING UNTIL I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, SO IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY HAZARDOUS.

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND CAN NOT BE TURNED. THIS HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN TIMES AND EACH TIME WE WERE ONLY NARROWLY ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING GARAGE, ONE SIDE ROADS, MAIN ROADS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I BELIEVE THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE LANE DEPARTURE SENSOR. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 14K MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR 5 TIMES. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THERE ARE PAGES OF ERROR CODES THAT HAVE BEEN GENERATED BUT NONE HAVE BEEN HELPFUL IN RESOLVING THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE OPERATING THE SUV IN CRUISE CONTROL, IT WAS NECESSARY TO BRAKE AND RE-ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. HOWEVER, UPON PUSHING THE PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED, IT TOOK BETWEEN 10 TO 20 SECONDS TO INCREASE THE SPEED FROM JUST 60 MPH TO 70 MPH. THIS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY OVER A PERIOD OF 30 MILES. IT WAS VERY CONCERNING AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO CLEAR TRAFFIC PROPERLY. I STOPPED AT A REST STOP AND TRIED TO DO THE SAME ACCELERATION FROM 0 MPG. THIS TIME HOWEVER, THE CAR 'HUNG' AT 5500 RPM'S WHEN I REACHED 75 MPH. I HAD TO MOVE THE GEARSHIFT INTO MANUAL MODE AND BACK TO AND UNHANG IT. I REPORTED THIS TO NATIONAL RENT-A-CAR UPON MY RETURN. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS REPORTED. I FELT UNSAFE.

WHILE TRAVELING IN DRIVE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SPONTANEOUSLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL, BUT THE GEAR SHIFTER REMAINS IN DRIVE. THE GEAR SHIFTER HAS TO BE MOVED TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE TO RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE ONE YEAR SINCE I BEGAN LEASING THE VEHICLE, THE FIRST TIME ON JULY 4, 2017. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 2,500 MILES ON IT.

VEHICLE HAS 4000 MILES, STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. STARTED RIGHT UP, MULTIPLE CODES STORED.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN PARK AND POWER WAS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN IT BEGAN ROLLING DOWNHILL WHILE UNATTENDED. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT SET. VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE.

WITH LESS THAN 2,000 MILES, TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS CONFLICT WITH PSI MANUAL PRESSURE GAUGE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INFLATED THE TIRES TO 36 PSI WHICH DOES NOT REGISTER AS SUCH, BUT LOWER BY 2-3 PSI. THE PRESSURE GAUGE SENSORS IS INCORRECT UNDER ALL DRIVINGS MODES. IT REMAINS UNRESOLVED.

I HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 35 DAYS. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A SIDE STREET AND MY BRAKES FAILED. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I WAS COMING UPON A 3 WAY STOP SIGN. MY BREAKS JAMMED,AND FAILED TO STOP. I HIT ANOTHER CAR AND WE BOTH WALKED AWAY WITH MINOR INJURIES. MY JEEP WAS TOTALED. ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I HAD ALL FRONT END DAMAGE. I FEEL THEIR IS EITHER A PROBLEM WITH THE BREAK MODULATOR, OR THE AUTO STOP FEATURE WHEN YOU APPLY YOUR BREAKS TO STOP. I WAS ALMOST KILLED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR WITH THIS AUTO FEATURE AGAIN. OF COURSE NOTHING WAS FOUND.

I SPECIFICALLY PURCHASED A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4 TO COPE WITH WINTERS IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN. HOWEVER, AFTER ONLY TWO SNOWFALLS THE VEHICLE HAS SLID FOUR TIMES ON CITY STREETS AND MORE SIGNIFICANTLY FISH TAILED ON AN I-75 OFF RAMP. IN NO INSTANCES DID THE 4X4 SYSTEM TRY TO CORRECT THROUGH OR NOTIFY THE OPERATOR. IN ONE INSTANCE THE ABS WAS ABLE TO SAFELY BRING ME TO A STOP OVER THE LINE AT A FOUR WAY STOP INTERSECTION. THIS IS BEHAVIOR IS UNSAFE FOR EVERYDAY EXPECTED DRIVING SCENARIOS. MORE SHOULD BE EXPECTED OF A MODEL YEAR 2017 4X4 VEHICLE SOLD IN MICHIGAN. UNSAFE. I NOW NEED TO SPEND $900-$1000 TO REMEDIATE THE SITUATION BY BUYING BETTER TIRES THAN THOSE PROVIDED BY THE OEM.

HAVING REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH FILLING MY TANK UP WITH GAS. I'VE TRIED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT PUMPS BUT IT WILL NOT PUMP AND SPILLS OUT EVEN THOUGH I'VE JUST STARTED AND MY TANK IS ONLY ABOUT A QUARTER FILLED. NOT SURE HOW TO FIX IT AS I HAVE TO SPENT 20 MINUTES AT A TIME TO FILL THE TANK. EVERY $0.20 THE PUMP STOPS. NOT SURE IF THE ISSUE IS THE SAME AS THE RENAGADE OR NOT BUT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS CAP SENSOR.

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ALTITUDE 4X4. FROM ROUTE 1 JEEP IN LAWRENCEVILLE. IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCED TICKING FROM THE ENGINE, FAULTY COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, AND FAULTY FUEL PROPOSITION. THE SOUND WAS DUPLICATED AND I WAS TOLD SERVICE WOULD NEED MY CAR INDEFINELTY UNTIL THE DIAGNOSIS WAS INDENTIFIEF AND A REPAIR WAS DETERMINED. ALSO EXPERIENCE PRE-MATURE STOPPING AT FUEL PUMPS. MEANING THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AS IF THE TANK IS FILLED WHEN IT'S NOT, HAVING TO MANIPULATE THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE UNTIL IT ALLOWS ME TO FILL. ALSO EXPERIENCE INTERNITANT ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDO AND ITS DISPLAY. SOME TIMES THE DISPLAY DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. KEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT AN OBSTACLE TO GETTING THIS RESOLVED. AND EVERY DEALER WE GO TO IS "OVERWHELMED AND UNDERSTAFFED" BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION. LITERALLY 5 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS IN A 50 MILE RADIUS GAVE US THE SAME FEEDBACK. I'M AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED , HURT , AND DISGUSTED AFTER SPENDING 40K+ ON MY 1ST BRAND NEW SUV. WAS HOPEFUL AND WANTED TO PURCHASE AMERICAN , BUT ARE WE REALLY BUYING AMERICAN WHEN THE PARTS AND CAR ITSELF ARE BEING MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO??

WAS FUELING UP TODAY AND THE PUMP WAS TURNING OFF LIKE I WAS TOPPED OFF BUT MY GAGE WAS ON 'E'. THEN WITH ME HOLDING THE PUMP GAS STARTED SHOOTING OUT ONTO ME AND MY SUV. I HAD GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND AFTER I PAID I HAD A LARGE PUDDLE UNDER MY CAR ALSO. I ONLY FILL UP AT MEIJER AND NORMALLY GET 22 GALLONS IN MY TANK. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET 11 GALLONS IN. MY SUV ONLY HAS 4600 MILES ON IT. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE

ON MOST NEWER CARDS THE DASHBOARD IS DIGITAL AND BACK-LIT. SOME OF THESE CARS ALSO HAVE VERY BRIGHT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. WHAT I HAVE SEEN IS THAT SOME OWNERS INADVERTENTLY TURN OFF THE AUTO LIGHTS, AND THINK THEY HAVE LIGHTS ON BECAUSE THEY CAN SEE WHERE THEY ARE GOING, BUT THEY LACK ANY REAR LIGHTS BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ARE NOT TECHNICALLY ON. I'VE SEEN THIS IN JEEP VEHICLES AS AN EXAMPLE. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW YOUR LIGHTS ARE ON IN A JEEP FOR EXAMPLE IS A LITTLE GREEN HEADLIGHT ICON, THAT IS EASILY IGNORED. SOMETHING MORE NEEDS TO BE ON THE DASH WHEN LIGHTS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION AT NIGHT.

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BACK UP WITH MY BOAT ATTACHED, HAS A REAR STOP FEATURE THAT WAS ENGAGING, WENT TO MY SYSTEM SETUP SCREEN TO DEFEAT THE FEATURE, IT WOULD NOT LET ME, I WOULD REMOVE THE CHECK AND IT WOULD COME RIGHT BACK ON. THE DEALER KNEW THERE WAS A REFLASH FOR THIS CONDITION, BUT IT WAS A YELLOW ARROW, SO THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO FIX IT UNLESS I COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR SYSTEM, HE SAID FCA HAD RECENTLY SAID NO MORE REFLASHS THAT WERE NOT A RED BOLT UNLESS CUSTOMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A COMPONENT ISSUE THE REFLASH COULD FIX. THIS DEALER TOM WHITESIDE (740-869-2296) SAID THERE WERE MORE REFLASHS, BUT COULD NOT DO. SAID THEY ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO ALL IN THE PAST, EVEN PROMOTED IT AS A WAY TO SELL HIM A HAND HELD COMPUTER. DO I SUE CHRYSLER OR THE DEALER WHEN THEY BOTH KNOW AND WON'T BE PRE-EMPTIVE? I WOULD NOT KNOW THIS DIDN'T WORK TILL I NEEDED IT TO WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A POOL OF GREEN LIQUID UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUTE 1 CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALER (2700 BRUNSWICK PIKE, LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, NJ 08648, PHONE NUMBER: (609) 882-1000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL LEAK WAS CAUSED BY DEBRIS IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE DEALER STOPPED THE LEAK AND CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DECLINED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE NEW ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,867.

WE WERE SOLD A RUSTED BRAND NEW CAR BY HUFFINES JEEP DEALERSHIP IN LEWISVILLE, TX. WE IDENTIFIED THE RUST IN THE CAR WITHIN 3 WEEKS ( AND LESS THAN 700 MILES) AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DENIED HELPING US OUT AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE CAR FOR US AND THE ONLY OPTION THEY PROVIDED US WAS " WE WILL FIX THE CAR AND YOU TAKE IT BACK" . WE HAVE ESCALATED THE CASE TO "FCA NORTH AMERICA" AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE CASE . HOWEVER WE ARE AFRAID THAT SINCE THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE A RAPO ESTABLISHED WITH THE COMPANY THEY MIGHT OVERLOOK THIS CASE AND SINCE WE ARE ONE CUSTOMER VS THE DEALERSHIP THERE ARE MORE CHANCES THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO SUFFER AND TAKE THE CONTINUOUS THREATS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WE WOULD LIKE TO APPROACH NHTSA TO PROVIDE US A RECOMMENDATION ON THIS AND HELP US RECEIVE JUSTICE ON THIS CASE . OUR CASE NUMBER WITH JEEP IS [XXX] . THIS IS OUR FIRST BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND WE HAVE HAD ISSUES FROM DAY ONE ON THE VEHICLE AND WITH DEALERSHIP TREATING US IN AN EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL WAY AND LITERALLY THREATENING US WE DONT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED IN THIS CASE . WE DID NOT REALIZE IT TILL OUR DAUGHTER DROPPED STUFF UNDER THE SEATS AND CAME OUT FEW TIMES WITH RUSTED HANDS . SHE HAS BEEN TRAVELLING AND BREATHING IN THE RUSTED CAR FOR FEW DAYS AND THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE HEALTH HAZARD FOR THE KID. WE ARE CONFUSED AT THIS POINT AND FEEL HELPLESS . DO WE JUST WAIT FOR FCA TO COME BACK TO US OR DO WE FILE A COMPLAINT IN THE LOCAL COURT AND FIGHT A CASE AGAINST THE DE

THE VEHICLE MEMORY SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AT ALL, WE BOUGHT IN 12/2016 AND SOMEWHERE IN 6/2017 IT STOPPED WORKING, IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS THE MEMORY SYSTEM CONTROLS MANY ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE THAT DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SEAT, STEERING WHEEL, MIORROR'S, AND RDS, IT ALSO CONTROLS ENGINE FUNCTIONS AND SAFETY SYSTEMS, AIR BAGS, SEATBELTS, BRAKES., WHY THE VEHICLE LEARNS YOUR DRIVING HABITS AND WHEN YOU USE DIFFERENT SETTINGS FOR DIFFERENT DRIVERS, NOW IT HAS CONTROL OVER YOUR VEHICLE AND DRIVING HABITS OR ANOTHER DRIVERS HABITS. (I HAD A 15 OVERLAND THAT WOULDN'T SYNC THE REMOTES TO THE MEMORY SETTINGS AFTER MULTIPLE ATEMTS, I ALSO HAVE A 14 RAM LIMITED THAT WORKS JUST FINE.) SO THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE GRANDELAY CHEROKEE LINEUP. PER SAY THE SYSTEM BE LIVES IT IS WORKING BUT HASN'T MOVED YOUR SEAT OR THINKS YOUR SEAT IS IN AN ALTERNATIVE POSITION AND YOU GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT, AND THE SAFETY SYSTEM OVER OR UNDER REACTS TO PROTECT ITS OCUPANTS DUE TO SYSTEM ERRORS, EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTIONING, AND VEHICLE COPONENTS NOT COMMUNICATING PROPERLY. THIS COULD END IN A CATASTROPHE AND POTENTIALLY INJURIES, DEATH, AND DESTRUCTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE SUMMIT I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY RAM (REGARDING SURVICE), A ELDERLY GENTLEMAN BROUGHT HIS 17 GC INTO THE SERVICE DEPTH COMPLAIN ABOUT THE MEMORY SYSTEM NOT OPERATING, I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT "BUT THIS OLD MAN CAN'T KEEP UP WITH TECHNOLOGY AND JUST NEEDED ASSISTANCE" I HAVE A

I HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THE VEHICLE REMAINING IN RUN MODE AFTER I PUSH THE STOP BUTTON TO SHUT IT DOWN. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE ESS (ENGINE STOP/START) IS ENABLED. MY INITIAL BELIEF WAS THAT THE ESS WAS RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER OBSERVATION, I NOW BELIEVE THAT THE VEHICLE IS IGNORING THE STOP BUTTON INPUT. I REALIZED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHUT DOWN AT A GAS STATION AND I REFUELED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I FAILED TO REALIZE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT SHUT DOWN DUE TO EXCESSIVE NOISE IN THE AREA. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO SHUT DOWN UNDER THESE CONDITIONS: 1.THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND THE ESS IS ENABLED. 2.I PULL INTO A PARKING POSITION AND HOLD THE BRAKE LONG ENOUGH FOR THE ESS TO BEGIN THE STOP ENGINE SEQUENCE. 3.I PUSH THE SHIFTER INTO PARK AS THE ESS IS IN THE STOP ENGINE SEQUENCE. 4.I IMMEDIATELY DEPRESS AND HOLD THE STOP BUTTON. 5.THE VEHICLE FAILS TO SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNTIL THE STOP BUTTON IS RELEASED AND PUSHED A SECOND. I ESTIMATE THAT THIS HAPPENS TO ME APPROXIMATELY 20% OF THE TIME I ATTEMPT TO SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE WITH THE ESS ENABLED. THIS NEVER HAPPENS WHEN THE ESS IS DISABLED. I HAVE TAKEN MY GRAND CHEROKEE TO THE DEALER AND A STAR CASE WAS CREATED AT FCA. THIS FAILURE TO SHUT DOWN WAS DEMONSTRATED TO THE MECHANIC ON MY VEHICLE AND ON ANOTHER GRAND CHEROKEE FROM THEIR LOT. FCA ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE FAILURE TO SHUT DOWN SITUATION DOES OCCUR AS I DESCRIBED. HOWEVER, FCA HAS NOT INDICAT
