electronic stability controls along with traction and FCW AFFECTING TRANSFER CASE WITH STEERING

LEATHER DASH IS STARTING TO PEEL OFF MY DASHBOARD OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW ON THE WINDSHIELD

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.

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 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 vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.

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

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.

Stopped at a red light and when it turned green, I pressed on the gas pedal and no acceleration.

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.

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.

Including my 2016 Jeep Overland High Altitude. Recall should be extended to include 2016 model years. There are plenty of similar complaints online. Jeep has not improved the quality or design on this defect.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THESE INDICATIONS (CEL) AND DRIVER INTERFACE DISPLAYED THE EXACT SAME INDICATIONS. THE FIRST TIME IT RESOLVED UPON SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME, IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER. APPROX 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THE FIRE THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING ON INSPECTION AND RESET THE CODE. THE CODE WAS FOR EXCESSIVE EGR FLOW. 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 ENTIRE TIME AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 70K MILES ON IT. I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS WAS DIRECTLY RATED TO AN EGR PROBLEM THAT THESE PARTICULAR ENGINES HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH DIRECTLY RESULTING IN THE FIRE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME. THERE ARE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER

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.

ON 9/20/20 AT APPROX 4:30PM EST, AS WE LEFT A PARKED POSITION AND BEGAN EXITING A PARKING LOT, WE SUDDENLY SMELLED A STRONG ODOR THAT WAS SIMILAR TO THE SMELL OF BURNING CLUTCH PLATES, WE THEN OBSERVED BLACK SMOKE COMING THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER VENT. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK WHERE IT STOOD, MY HUSBAND EXITED THE VEHICLE AND I WENT TO THE BACK TO LEASH AND REMOVE MY TWO DOGS FROM THE BACK SEAT. ONCE MY DOGS WERE SAFELY OUT OF THE VEHICLE, I HANDED THE LEASH TO MY HUSBAND, WENT BACK TO THE VEHICLE AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, REMOVED OUR CELL PHONES AND MY PURSE AND STOOD BACK FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN NO FLAMES WERE OBSERVED, WE OPENED THE HOOD AND OBSERVED BLACK SMOKE AND SMELLED THE SAME SCENT SIMILAR TO BURNING CLUTCH PLATES. THE SMOKE APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE ENGINE NEAR THE FIRE WALL. I WAITED APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES AND WHEN NO FURTHER SMOKE OR ANY OTHER SIGNS OF A FIRE WERE OBSERVED I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE TO MOVE IT FROM THE TRAVEL LANE, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND APPEARED TO RUN AS NORMAL AND NO CODES WERE SHOWING ON THE DASH. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE VEHICLE BACK OFF AFTER MOVING IT APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET TO A SAFE PARKING PLACE AND CALLED FOR TOWING. THE TRUCK WAS TRANSPORTED TO CRISWELL CHRYSLER IN THURMONT, MD SOME TIME THAT EVENING. I SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON, LUKE, AT CRISWELL AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. AROUND 4:45PM ON 9/21/20 I WAS TOLD THE TECHNICIAN HAD FOUND MULTIPLE BURN HOLES IN MY "INTAKE MANIFOLD". HAVING OWNED A RAM1500 ECODIESEL AND HAVING HAD THE EGR COOLER RECALLED ON THAT VEHICLE, IT CAME TO ME THAT THIS JEEP COULD BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I AM CONVINCED THAT IF WE HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WHATEVER CAUSED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO BURN, COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC FIRE EVENT, PUTTING THE LIVES OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. I HAVE FILED WITH FCA, CASE NUMBER 77286484

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND SLOWING DOWN IT LUNGES FORWARD WITH NO INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. THIS SOMETIMES OCCURS BY TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYWHERE, ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN.

HEAD REST DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LED HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS TO PROVIDE INADEQUATE LIGHTING FOR SAFE NIGHT TIME DRIVING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE BUT, OFFERED NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND LOST ALL POWER. WILL NOT RESTART. TOWED TO DEALER THEY SAY IT'S FUEL PUMP RELATED. IT IS A FUEL PUMP RELAY WHICH IS A VERY KNOWN ISSUE (RECALL) ON 2011-2013 BUT NOT ON ANYTHING NEWER.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND THERE IS A MESSAGE ON MY DASH THAT SAYS POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE REQUIRED. I HAVE 36, XXX MILES ON IT.

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.

28000 MILES +\- DRIVING CAR ON FREEWAY IN HIGH SPEED LANE IN LAS 405 - THE MOST TRAVELED HIGHWAY IN THE US, AND THE CAR SLOWED TO A DEAD STOP. COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. ALL ELECTRICAL STILL WORKING, LIGHTS, DASH, RADIO. WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. HOUR EARLIER CAR WAS IDLING AND IDLED TO A STALL. ALL ELECTRICAL STILL WORKING. POLICE HAD TO COME AND STOP TRAFFIC TO WAIT FOR A FLATBED.

MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 4 TIMES WHERE I'VE BEEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT AUTO-STOPS AND THEN DOESN'T START BACK UP AGAIN WHEN THE TRAFFIC STARTS MOVING AGAIN. A MESSAGE COMES UP ON MY DASHBOARD TELLING ME TO SHIFT TO P AND THEN BACK TO MY DESIRED GEAR. I'LL TRY TO RESTART MY CAR 2-3 TIMES BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS. I'VE BEEN ON HILLS AND ON HIGHWAYS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS BECAUSE OF IT. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR SO 4 'CLOSE CALLS' IS A BIT MUCH FOR SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN HIS VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD RISING AS BUBBLES APPEARED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE DASHBOARD FAILURE WAS BECOMING VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE ITS HARD TO SEE THE ROADWAY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER LAKELAND SQUARE MALL (3800 US HIGHWAY 98 NORTH, LAKELAND, FL 33809) WHERE THE DASHBOARD WAS INSPECTED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS WAS ON THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

SEVERE BUCKING & JERKING WHILE DRIVING. MORE MODERATE BUCKING WHILE CAR IS IDLE. CODES BEING THROWN ARE P0406 & P0301. IT HAS ALSO THROWN A P0402 AS WELL. I'VE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AS WELL AS ALL SPARK PLUGS AND THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED. MY FUEL MILEAGE IS TANKING AND DRIVING THE JEEP HAS BECOME ALMOST UNBEARABLE.

TWICE NOW I HAVE HAD MY JEEP DIE ON ME WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. FIRST TIME I HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET BY STRANGERS BECAUSE NOTHING WOULD RESTART IT AND IT WAS AT ON A BUSY ROAD AT PEAK TIME. SECOND TIME WAS THIS WEEK. WAITING AGAIN FOR LIGHT TO TURN, AS I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO GO, THE CAR SHUT DOWN. BOTH TIMES I TRIED TO PUT IT INTO PARK, RESTART, NADDA. THIS TIME IT STARTED BACK UP WITHIN ABOUT ONE MINUTE.

I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOP POSITION, AS I TRIED ACCELERATE THE ENGINE ACTED LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL OR PARK! I THOUGHT I HIT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL, BUT I WAS IN DRIVE. IT WENT BACK INTO DRIVE MODE SECOND S LATER. SCARY FEELING WITH TRAFFIC GOING 50 MPH AROUND ME! WELL IT DID IT AGAIN GOING FROM A STOP POSITION TURNING LEFT ONTO A BUSY 3 LANE STREET. NOW I KNOW SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT!! SO FAR NO RECALL ON MY VIN #, BUT MANY OTHER 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH SOMETHING SIMILAR. IT'S VERY SCARY , DANGEROUS, AND HAZARDOUS! *TR
