2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

VEHICLE WON'T START WHEN PUSHING START BUTTON AND APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL. 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 3.6L V-6 ENGINE, 44K MILES. AFTER TURNING OFF VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT RE-START WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHING START BUTTON. REPLACED BOTH MAIN AND AUXILIARY BATTERIES, BUT SAME PROBLEM CONTINUES. ARE THERE RECALLS OR SUGGESTIONS TO FIX THIS? I READ THAT SEVERAL VEHICLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHAT'S THE RESOLUTION?

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS) HAS THE GAS NOZZLE AUTO STOP BEEN ACTIVATED UNNECESSARILY DUE TO THE ANGLE OF THE TANK CAUSING GAS TO ONLY COME OUT FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AT A TIME, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TELL IF THE TANK IS FULL AND INCREASES RISK OF OVERFILL. CURRENTLY, ON 2 OCCASIONS (AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS) HAS THE GAS NOZZLE FAILED TO STOP, WHICH CAUSE GAS TO SPRAY OUT ONTO MYSELF AND THE GROUND.

ON 3 RECENT OCCASIONS MY BREAKS HAVE LOST ALL PRESSURE WHILE REVERSING EITHER INTO A PARKING SPOT OR BACKING OUT OF ONE, SO FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT TRAVELING VERY FAST. I HAD TO FORCE THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BE ABLE TO STOP AND IT MADE A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE. ONLY IN 1/3 TIMES THE PAVEMENT WAS WET FROM RECENT RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE HEAD REST HAD DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO ONE PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE TURNED ON. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE LOCAL DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 131,000 MILES PURCHASED USED LESS THEN 24 HOURS LATER ON 8/20/2020, ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE MOVING, APPROX 20 MPH, FIVE LANE ROAD.HAD TO PUT IN PARK, FOOT ON BRAKE AND USE PUSH TO START BUTTON NOTHING HAPPENED. NO WARNINGS STARTED ON THE THIRD TRY. REPORTED PROBLEM TO SALESPERSON HE DOESN'T CARE BECAUSE ITS ALREADY SOLD. NO PROBLEM FOR TEN DAYS. YESTERDAY, 8/30/2020 IT SHUT DOWN FOUR TIMES WHILE IN MOTION STRANDED MY WIFE WOULD NOT START AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. I BROUGHT ANOTHER KEY FOB TO THE SCENE AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT STARTED. I THEN DROVE IT AROUND WITH MY KEY FOB AND WITH THE AUTOMATIC STOP/START SAVE FUEL BUTTON TURNED OFF BUT ENGINE STILL STOPPED WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER CODES

THE POWER TO THE ENGINE COMES TO SLOW MOTION WITH NO POWER TO ACCELERATE . IT IS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO POWER, BUT NO NOISE. THIS OCCURRED WHEN TURNING OR STOPPING. AT A STREET LIGHT.

VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON AND STATIONARY AT MY PRIVATE RESIDENCE, PLACED IN PARK (NO PARKING BREAK) FOR ME TO HOOK UP A CHAIN TO TOW A COMPACT TRACTOR (WITHIN THE TOWING SPECIFICATION OF THE VEHICLE). WHEN I WAS BEHIND THE VEHICLE I HEARD A LOUD THUNK AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY ROLLED BACK (WHEELS WERE ROTATING) AND SMASHED INTO THE COMPACT TRACTOR CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE TRUNK AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

MY AC EVAPORATOR CORE FAILED IN MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHICH IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. THE CORE IS UNDER THE DASH BOARD AND USES THE R-1234YF FREON WHICH IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT LEAK OUT IN MY CABIN OF MY SUV. THE EVAPORATOR CORE SHOULD BE REDESIGNED NOT TO FAIL AND LEAK THE DANGEROUS GAS IN MY VEHICLE. THE R-1234YF FREON GAS IS EXPENSIVE AND THE EVAPORATOR CORE IS DESIGNED TO FAIL.. MOST CARS EVAPORATOR CORE WILL LAST ON CARS WAY OVER 6 YEARS OR MORE. THIS IS GAS LEAKING IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND THE EVAPORATOR CORE SHOULD BE RECALLED DO TO ITS DEFECTIVENESS. I'M WAITING FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO ORDER AND REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR CORE AND RELOAD THE FREON AT $1900.00 COST. THIS SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST MAY PEOPLE CAN BE EFFECTED ON THIS PLUS THIS FREON CAN EXPLODE IF THE CAR IS IN A ACCIDENT.

MY JEEP SHAKES DURING DIFFERENT SPEED LEVELS I CHANGED THE TIRE DIDN'T HELP I DID AN ALIGNMENT DIDN'T HELP THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RODE CV JOINT EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY MY JEEP IS SHAKING AND I CONCERN WHEN I'M DRIVING ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS

FRONT JUMP POST HAS MELTED CAUSING FIRE HAZARD AND MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. CAR WILL NOT START BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND CUT OFF AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS LEMON. NOT HAPPY WITH MY 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE -ENGINE MOUNT REPLACED AT 46,000 MILES...(REPLACED OCT 2019) SERIOUSLY???!!!! THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFE??!!! -AC CONDENSER (REPLACED MAY 2020) -CRACKED RADIATOR-(REPLACED JULY 2020) -NEW BATTERY- (REPLACED JULY 2020) -EVAP PURGE HOSE -(REPLACED JULY 2020) -EVAP PURGE SOLENOID-( REPLACED MARCH 2020) WILL HAPPILY PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION IF REQUESTED.

WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF. IT AUTOMATICALLY STARTS UP. IT DOES THIS PERIODICALLY. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATION AND PARKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON HIS WIFE EXITING THE VEHICLE TO GRAB AN ITEM OUT OF THE HOUSE, THE VEHICLE HAD INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND BARRELED INTO HIS GARAGE DOOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PLACED IN DRIVE OR PARK UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE HAD DISENGAGED THE KEY FOB UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE AND THAT ALL FOUR DOORS WERE SHUT. THE DEALER BRANDYWINE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (3807 KIRKWOOD HWY, WILMINGTON, DE 19808) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HIM THAT WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK OR DRIVE, THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE RESET ITSELF INTO THE PARK POSITION ONCE THE KEY FOB WAS REMOVED AND ALL FOUR DOORS WHERE SHUT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CLAIM WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PLACED UNDER NHTSA RECALL NUMBER18V332000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) AND HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED; THE CONTACT NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION REGARDING THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000.*DT*JB

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF WAS ENGAGED AT A RED LIGHT. RED LIGHT TURNED GREEN IN WHICH I PUT MY FOOT ON GAS TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AND MESSAGE APPEARED ON DASH TO 'SHIFT VEHICLE INTO PARK'. I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME LOCKED IN PARK AND WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RE START, LEAVING MY STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SITTING IN THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RE START, THE VEHICLE FINALLY RE STARTED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP TO GET LOOKED AT, NO CODES ARE SHOWING ON THE COMPUTER AND ISSUE COULD NOT BE RE DUPLICATED. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHERS. I CALLED JEEP CORPORATE WHERE THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME TO 'RECORD EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME AS IT'S HAPPENING'. THAT'S A WONDERFUL SUGGESTION AND ALL BY MY BIGGEST CONCERN WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND NOT VIDEO WHAT IS HAPPENING, TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

PAINT BUBBLING UP ON HOOD. *TR

SERVICE SHIFTER COMES ON NOW AND MY FRIENDS CAR DID THIS WHILE DRIVING LOCKED UP HER WHEELS LOST CONTROL AND WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET INTO A DEADLY WRECK 2017 JEEP06 GRAND CHEROKEE

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 JEEP, I RECEIVED A WARNING ON THE DASH WITH A DING THAT SAID SERVICE SHIFTER. MY VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 31,000 MILES. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE AND INTO PARK. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BUT IT WAS CONSTANTLY DINGING WITH THE SERVICE SHIFTER ERRED.WHEN I STOPPED I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFTER. I HAD TO STOP KILL THE ENGINE AND WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE ERROR CLEARED AND I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO OUR JEEP DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. HE REPLACED THE SHIFTER HARNESS. I HAVE READ MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD THE SHIFTER REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE IT OCCUR AGAIN. IT COST OVER $500 TO REPLACE.

I BOUGHT A 2017 JGC LIMITED 2 WEEKS AGO. IT HAS 31,500 MILES. THIS WEEKEND, THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' WARNING CAME ON, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START, THE IGNITION STAYED ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF THOUGH THE ENGINE WASN'T RUNNING. THE SHIFTER LIGHTS FLASHED CONTINUOUSLY, THE WARNING SCREEN FLASHED THROUGH SEVERAL WARNINGS CONTINUOUSLY ALL NIGHT. THE BATTERY WAS DEAD THE NEXT MORNING. THE BACK DOORS WILL NOT OPEN, DISALLOWING ME ACCESS TO THE BATTERY (UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT). THE CAR WOULD BUCK AT INTERSECTIONS WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT LAST WEEK. THE ELECTRONICS ARE POORLY ENGINEERED AND TESTED. REMINDS ME OF THE ENGLISH RANGE ROVER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW AS THE CAR IS STUCK ON MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

MY SUV IS STATIONARY IN CITY STREET. I PUT THE IGNITION IN ACCESSORIES AND I START TO CLEAN WITH A DRY CLOTH THE PASSENGER SEAT AND PASS A CLOTH FOR THE HEAD OF SEAT, IS ACTIVATE THE HEAD RESTRAINT. MY SUV NEVER HAVE A CRASH. I GO IN 23 APRIL 2020 TO AUTOCENTRO SERVICE CENTER DODGE, JEEP AND CHRYSLER IN CAGUAS, PUERTO RICO AND EXPLAIN MY SITUATION AND THEN TELL ME I HAVE TO PAID THE PARTS (ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT) AND THE COST IS $994.00 AND LABOR IS $140.00 BECAUSE THE WARRANTY OF MY SUV IS EXPIRE. I REFUSE TO PAID THAT BECAUSE I THINK IS DEFECT OF MANUFACTURE BECAUSE MY SUV I DON'T HAVE ANY CRASH. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW THIS SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED. THANKS

HI! I WROTE IN APRIL 26, 2020 EXPLAIN MY SITUATION AND I DON'T RECEIVE ANSWER FROM US. *TR

THE VEHICLE, 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, WAS PARKED (NOT RUNNING & NO OCCUPANTS) UNDER OUR CAR PORT. AN EXTREMELY LOUD POP/EXPLOSION WAS HEARD AND MY SPOUSE SAW THE JEEP ROCKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE (NO ONE WAS NEAR IT). I WENT TO MOVE IT INTO OUR GARAGE AND THE 'SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY' WARNING CAME ON. THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE IS VERY LOW WITH THE WHEEL WELLS BARELY ABOVE THE LOW PROFILE TIRES.

CAR CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START!!

MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL TURNED OFF AND WON'T TURN ON, MY FCW FRONT COLLISION WARNING IS OFF A WON'T TURN ON BUT THE SENSORS IN THE FRONT WORK FINE AND DETECT OBJECTS NEAR THE BUMPER

THERE WAS A POOL OF OIL COLLECTING IN A CHANNEL LOCATED ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. I HAVE LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON THE 2017 VEHICLE. FIRST, I SAW THE OIL LEAK IN MY DRIVEWAY, CHECKED MY OIL AND WAS A QUART LOW. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER WHO IDENTIFIED THE LEAK COMING FROM THE OIL FILTER HOUSING UNIT. I WANT TO DOCUMENT THIS WITH NHSTA . THERE ARE A GROWING NUMBER OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WHO BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART, OUT OF SAFETY CONCERNS.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN MY 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RE-START. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I COULD NOT PUSH THE BREAK PEDAL IN. I CALLED U-CONNECT ROADSIDE AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK.

THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE JEEP HAS 57,067 MILES AND NOW IT DOES NOT DRIVE.

POWER SEAT WAS ADJUSTED ALL WAY BACKWARDS AND STOPPED WORKING. CAN NOT ADJUST SEAT TO DRIVE IT CORRECTLY.THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL IN A PARKING LOT.

WHEN TRYING TO FUEL OUR VEHICLE THE HANDLE CONSTANTLY STOPS, THINKING IT IS FULL. HOWEVER, MY WORK AROUND IS TO TURN THE HANDLE TO 3'OCLOCK AND ITS ABLE TO FILL THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT, HOWEVER, YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE HANDLE IN THAT POSITION THE ENTIRE TIME. I HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE POST ABOUT THIS TOO. NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH MY 2015 JEEP. PLEASE NOT THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY OF 2019.

WHEN GETTING MY OIL CHANGED THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I HAD AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK. HE COULD SMELL IT AND SAW FLUID AROUND THE RADIATOR. ALSO THAT I MAY NEED A NEW RADIATOR AND SHOULD HAVE THE DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT. I BROUGHT MY 2 YEAR OLD 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I DID INDEED NEED A NEW RADIATOR. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW BY ME AND HAS 45000 MILES ON IT. I ASKED THE MECHANIC IF THIS WAS COMMON? WAS THERE ANY INDICATION OF GETTING HIT BY A ROCK ETC? I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS' DEFECT. THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING AT THE SEAMS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I BROUGHT IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC AT A LOCAL AUTO BODY SHOP AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND THE RADIATOR NEEDED REPLACING. I THINK THIS IS MORE COMMON THAN IT SHOULD BE FOR A NEW VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE. BOTH MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE AUTOBODY SHOP SAID THEY HAD REPLACED SEVERAL OF THESE RECENTLY. IN FACT IT HAS BEEN ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE KEEPING EXTRA RADIATORS IN STOCK. I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD RECALL THESE RADIATORS AND PAY FOR THE COST OF REPLACING MINE.

YOUR WEB SITE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS VIN NUMBER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO DID RECOGNIZED THIS VIN AND COULD NOT SAY WHY YOUR WEB SITE DID NOT. PLEASE ADVISE.

OUR 2017 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE DID NOT START THIS MORNING. THE BRAKE WOULD NOT SOFTEN SO WE KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE. WHEN WE PUT OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE START BUTTON NOTHING TURNED OVER BUT ALL THE LIGHTS WENT ON. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND JEEP REPLACED THE BATTERY. OBVIOUSLY IT IS SOMETHING ELSE. IT APPEARS THERE IS A FUEL INJECTION RECALL BUT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE YET. WHEN IS THE ETA FOR THESE PARTS? WE BOUGHT TWO JEEPS BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THEY WERE SAFE. AFTER FOUR TRIES, THE CAR STARTED FROM REMOTE START.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO PUT GAS IN MY CAR UNLESS I INVERTED THE HANDLE OF THE PUMP. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO DODGE TO GET IT FIXED. I HAD A PREVIOUS DODGE VEHICLE THAT HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE FILLER NECK AND IT WAS FIXED ON A RECALL. I WAS EXPECTING THIS TO BE THE SAME, BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD GAS TANK AND NEEDED REPLACING FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM! NOW THEY ARE SAYING CHRYSLER IS BLAMING THE GAS PUMPS, AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, AFTER CHARGING ME FOR A NEW GAS TANK! THEY NEED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR DESIGN, AND FIX IT VIA RECALL, AND REIMBURSE ME FOR UNNECESSARY REPAIRS WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT MANY CARS ARE COMING IN WITH THIS PROBLEM INCLUDING DURANGOS. I ALSO HAVE A 2020 JEEP I JUST BOUGHT AND THAT VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS SAME ISSUE A FEW TIMES.

AFTER A FEW MINUTES WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND STATIONARY ON AN INCLINE IN OUR DRIVEWAY, IT WILL ROLL ABOUT 3-4 FEET AND THEN STOP ON ITS OWN, ALL WHILE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME IT IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, SEEMS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY.

NO SHIFTING ISSUES FOR THE FIRST 49,000 MILES. NOW, AT 50K MILES, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS HARD IN ALL GEARS, BUT MOSTLY IN 6TH, 7TH, AND 8TH. THE HARD SHIFT SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE A 5 LBS HAMMER SLAMMING INTO THE METAL FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. NOT ALL SHIFTS ARE HARD. MOST HARD SHIFTS ARE WHEN HOLDING THE THROTTLE STEADY AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY APPROACHES A SHIFT POINT. IN 8TH GEAR YOU CAN HOLD 5% THROTTLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED, THEN GIVE 10% MORE THROTTLE FOR AN UPHILL AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL STAY IN 8TH GEAR, BUT BRIEFLY SHUTTER FOLLOWED BY AN OBVIOUS BANG OR JERK OF THE VEHICLE. SOME BAD SHIFTS ARE REPETITIVE WITH FOUR OR FIVE HESITATIONS AND POPS OR BANGS OF THE TRANSMISSION. THESE HARD CLUNKS HAPPEN AT 30-45 MPH, OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 75-80 MPH. SOME FEEL LIKE BUMPS IN THE ROAD, WHILE OTHERS FEEL LIKE VIOLENT BANGS. THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN GIVING THE VEHICLE 80% OR MORE THROTTLE. ISSUES ARE USUALLY AT 5% TO 35% THROTTLE. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING TOWARDS A NORMAL SHIFT POINT SLOWLY. BEFORE THE NORMAL SHIFT, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP AND BANG. ON A TWENTY-MINUTE DRIVE OF MIXED HIGHWAY AND CITY, IT MAY BANG 5 TO 10 TIMES OR MORE. VIOLENT BANGS ARE ONCE OR TWICE PER WEEK, BUT SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY. THE DRIVING SITUATION IS WHAT INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF FEELING A BAD KICK OR BANG. NOT ALL BANGS RESULT IN A SHIFT. SOME BANGS HAPPEN BUT THE VEHICLE STAYS IN THE SAME GEAR AS IF IT JUST SLIPPED AND THEN CAUGHT THE SAME GEAR AGAIN.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND REGULAR STREET, AND GOING UPHILL, MY JEEP'S ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING, THE "D" ON THE DASHBOARD BLINKS AND THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK". TO GET THE JEEP'S ENGINE TO START UP AGAIN, I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT. BEING THAT THE JEEP DOES NOT RUN WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AM OFTEN STUCK ON THE FREEWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND CAN NOT PULL OVER. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE COME CLOSE TO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. THE JEEP DOES NOT ALWAYS START AGAIN. IT WILL STUTTER AND SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND ANY CODES. THEY PUT A DATA RECORDER IN THE VEHICLE, THE JEEP'S ENGINE SHUT DOWN THE SAME DAY I PICKED IT UP. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I PRESSED THE RECORDER BUTTON. IT SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES IN TRAFFIC WITH THE RECORDER IN AND I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO RECORD AS DIRECTED. WHEN I BROUGHT THE JEEP BACK INTO THE BOB BAKER DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE DATA RECORDER SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THE JEEP SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION AND NOT TURNING BACK ON, IS NOT NORMAL AND IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY JEEP FOR 2 MONTHS WITH NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO GET FIXED WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FCA AND THEY ARE NOT RETURNING MY CALLS AND HAVE NO SOLUTIONS. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED AND WISH I NEVER BOUGHT THIS JEEP. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE. I CAPTURED THE PROBLEM HAPPENING ON VIDEO AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHAT IS HAPPENING NOR FIX IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AUGUST 2019. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THE DAY I PICKED IT UP WITH THE DATA RECORDER IN IT ON NOVEMBER 22, 2019

CAR STOPS AND STALLS DURING, IT CAN HAPPEN AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN DRIVING. CAR ASKS YOU TO PUT INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING-- THE SHIFTER LOCKS AND THEN IT SAYS PUT IN DRIVE AND DOESN'T RESPOND SO YOU SIT THERE FOR A MINUTE THEN YOUR ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF.!! HUGE SAFTEY CONCERN! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS.

ALL WARNING SENSORS WENT OFF ON THE DASH, MY BRAKES LOCKED, LUCKILY AT LOW SPEEDS EITHER WHILE PARKED OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. IT HAD TO BE TOWED 3 TIMES, ONE TIME WE HAD A LITTLE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHICH TURNED OUT BEING THE CORRODED HARNESS. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALL STUCK ON. JEEP SAYS IT WAS THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, 2 OUT OF 4 HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I'VE ALSO HAD TO HAVE MY WIRING HARNESS REPLACED TWICE (WITHIN 6 MONTHS) DUE TO CORROSION. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY JERKED AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF CORPUS CHRISTI (4313 S STAPLES ST, CORPUS CHRISTI, TX 78411, (361) 992-8000), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND UPON GOING TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP, WHEN YOU PUT THE PUMP HANDLE INTO THE CAP LESS TANK, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT ALLOW THE GAS TO FLOW INTO THE TANK WITHOUT HOLDING THE PUMP HANDLE AT HALF PRESSURE. IN LOOKING ONLINE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FILL NECK OF THE GAS TANK. I HAVE TRIED THIS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS ORIGINALLY THINKING IT WAS THE PUMP ITSELF, NOT THE VEHICLE. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP AS SOMETHING BEING WRONG WITH THE EVAP VALVE IN THE FILL NECK.

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARKING LOT COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR FORWARD OR BACKWARD NOR COULD I MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO PARK OR NEUTRAL... I WAS ALSO UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WHICH IN ITSELF COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF I WAS IN MY GARAGE. THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. DASHBOARD READ: SERVICE SHIFTER - STOP SAFELY, SHUT OFF ENGINE TO ENGAGE PARK -- PLEASE NOTE THAT WE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WE WERE UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND/OR GET IT INTO PARK.

TOUCH SCREEN NOT WORKING. IT IS ON BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO DO SOMETHING DOES NOT RESPOND TO TOUCH.

WHEN DRIVING THE MOTOR STARTS RACING AND THE RPM'S GO WAY UP. MOST TIMES IT DOES IT WHEN YOU FIRST TAKE OFF. YOU HAVE TO COME TO A STOP, TURN THE MOTOR OFF AND START ALL OVER. OCCASIONALLY, THIS MAY NOT WORK. THE REPAIRMAN CANNOT FIND OUT WHY BECAUSE IT IS NOT DOING IT WHEN YOU TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. NOT EASY TO DEAL WITH WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND IT IS BURNING GAS LIKE CRAZY. IT FIRST DID IT COMING BACK TO NC FROM FLA ON 95 AFTER THE HURRICANE. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DAY. MY GIRLFRIEND FOLLOWED ME FROM S.C. TO JACKSONVILLE, N C TO MAKE SURE I GOT HOME WITH IT. HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES RIGHT AFTER I TAKE OFF WITH IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AND DECELERATING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND VPROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.*PM THE CONSUMER STATED THE *WAS A VISUAL INSPECTION AND 5 MIN ROAD TEST PERFORMED. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH MY VEHICLE STARTED FLASHING EVERY POSSIBLE WARNING LIGHT. AIRBAGS, ABS, SLIP CONTROL, CRUISE CONTROL ... EVERYTHING. MOST CONCERNING WAS THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ALERT; THE PRND LIGHTS ON MY SHIFTER PANEL ALL STARTED FLASHING AND THE CAR (AUTO TRANSMISSION) WAS STUCK IN ONE GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT. PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD 'FIX IT' FOR 10-15 MINUTES UNTIL IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN. ENGINE WAS MAKING AN AWFUL LOUD NOISE SO I PULLED OVER AGAIN. THIS TIME AFTER TURNING IT OFF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. AFTER 30 MINUTES IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A TOWN FOR THE NIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS ABLE TO START IT AND DRIVE IT IN 1ST GEAR (WHERE IT WAS STUCK) TO A JEEP DEALER. THERE IT SITS AS I TYPE. I HAVE SEEN MANY IDENTICAL ISSUES REPORTED BY JEEP OWNERS ON INTERNET FORUMS AND MOST WORRYINGLY, JEEP DEALERS DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER. THEY'RE COMMONLY REPLACING THE SHIFTER WIRING HARNESS BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNS FOR NEARLY EVERYONE. THIS INCIDENT STRANDED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, AND LEFT ME VERY WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY. WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE HAS CASCADING ERRORS THAT AFFECT HEADLIGHT OPERATION (MY HIGH BEAMS WOULD NOW WORK), SLIP CONTROL (IT BECAME NON FUNCTIONAL EVEN IF I OVERRODE IT), WIPERS (IN MY CASE THEY CAME ON WITHOUT ANY RAIN AND I COULD NOT TURN THEM OFF...THEY COULD JUST AS EASILY HAVE NOT FUNCTIONED IN A DOWNPOUR CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD), AND BRAKING (THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ROCK SOLID AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY).

ON SEPT 3, 2019 I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND I COASTED TO A STOP. ENGINE RESTARTED AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS, DROVE ABOUT 50 FEET WHEN ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. OVERCOME BY A STRONG SMELL OF GAS I EXITED THE CAR AND SAW FUEL COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE ENGINE. AS THE CAR SAT THE FUEL LEAK SUBSIDED. TOWED TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM (ZEIGLER OF DOWNERS GROVE) TOW TRUCK DRIVER STATED I WAS LUCKY IT DIDN'T START ON FIRE. WHEN THE CAR WAS UP ON THE BACK OF THE TOW TRUCK BED DEALER TRIED TO START THE CAR TO GET INTO NEUTRAL AND WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE FUEL POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. PICKED UP CAR THE NEXT DAY AND I WAS ASSURED THIS CAR WAS FIXED. I VOICED MY CONCERN ON THE DANGERS OF DRIVING A CAR WITH GAS POURING OUT OF IT. REPAIR ORDER SHOWS "REPLACED BROKEN FUEL CLIP TESTED VEHICLE AND VEHICLE IS NOW OPERATING AS DESIGNED". 5 DAYS LATER (9/8/19) HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 30 MILES BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR IS AGAIN LEAKING GASOLINE. NOT FEELING VERY SAFE IN MY 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

2017 GRAND CHEROKEE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' PROBLEM. I GET THE MESSAGE POPPING UP IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION AREA, ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE SHIFTING DIFFERENTLY THAN NORMAL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO DEFINITIVE SOLUTION.

MY WIFE, (XXXXX), WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. SHE WAS IN A DRIVE-THRU, MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. ROBIN WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO A STOP IN THE PARKING LOT. I RESPONDED TO THE SCENE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER PLUNGER ROD, COMPLETELY DISABLING THE BRAKES. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A RETAINER CLIP WHICH HOLDS THE PLUNGER ROD TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS RETAINER CLIP WAS NOT INSTALLED AND WAS NOT FOUND ANYWHERE IN THE AREA TO INDICATE IT HAD FALLEN OFF. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY WORK DONE TO THE VEHICLE AROUND THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE FACTORY DID NOT INSTALL THE RETAINER CLIP, OR DID NOT INSTALL ONE CORRECTLY. THANKFULLY, THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT AND NO LIVES WERE LOST OR HURT.

I AM A MILITARY SERVICE MEMBER SERVING IN EUROPE. I BROUGHT MY 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ME TO EUROPE IN 2018. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURE SPECIFICATIONS. EARLIER THIS YEAR (2019) WITH APPROXIMATELY 98K MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND WHILE CRUISING ON A GERMAN HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 85MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SUDDENLY AND RAPIDLY LOST POWER. I COORDINATED FOR TOWING OF THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST JEEP/CHRYSLER/DODGE REPAIR SHOP. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR ALMOST FOUR MONTHS AND THE LOGISTICAL AND TECHNICAL NETWORK AVAILABLE IN THIS MEDIUM SIZED GERMAN CITY HAS PROVEN UNABLE, AT LEAST UP UNTIL THIS POINT, TO SUCCESSFULLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS COMPLETE VALVE TRAIN FAILURE. I'M SHARING THE DETAILS OF THE EVENT AND THE LOCATION FOR THREE PURPOSES. 1. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER COULD PROVE DANGEROUS NO MATTER WHERE IT OCCURS 2. SERVICE MEMBERS SERVING OVERSEAS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE FIAT CHRYSLER NETWORK IN EUROPE IS NOT ADEQUATELY PREPARED TO ADDRESS OTHER THAN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FOR U.S, SPECIFICATION VEHICLES AND YOU COULD EASILY FIND YOURSELF IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION IF YOU BRING YOUR U.S. SPECIFICATION JEEP WITH YOU OVERSEAS. 3. EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS PAST IT'S WARRANTY BASED ON MILEAGE; COMPLETE VALVE TRAIN FAILURE OF A METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED 2017 JEEP WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT A MANUFACTURING AND OR ENGINEERING DEFECT VERSUS ANYTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHEN THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED OUT OF PARK, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT SOMETIMES, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE "CAR IN PARK" AND "TRUCK NOT IN P GO TO GEAR" MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO MAC HAIK CHRYSLER (12111 KATY FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77079, (832) 430-6816), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,580.

THE CAR WAS IN ECO MODE. THE CAR WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND WAS STOPPED FOR A TRAIN CROSSING. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS USED TO GO FORWARD THE ENGINE RACED QUICKLY TO 4500 RPMS AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL MANUALLY PLACED IN NEUTRAL FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. AFTER DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 135 AND COMING TO A STOP AT AN EXIT, THE CAR WENT INTO ECO MODE, WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS USED TO PUT THE CAR INTO MOTION THE ENGINE RACED TO 6000 RPMS AND WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO AN UNSAFE SPEED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED. ATTEMPTS WE WERE TOLD WERE TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. AN UPDATE ON SOFTWARE WAS DONE AFTER THE FIRST TWO ISSUES OF THE UNINITIATED ACCELERATED RPMS OF THE ENGINE OCCURRED. AFTER SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED THERE HAVE BEEN TWO UNINITIATED ACCELERATIONS OF THE RPMS. WE WERE CONCERNED FOR UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATIONS OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF OUR CONCERNS, HOWEVER A RESOLUTION HASN'T BEEN DONE. WE ARE CONCERNED FOR SAFETY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AUGUST7 (TWICE), AUGUST 10, AUGUST 20.
