MY JEEP WAS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES SIMILAR TO THOSE MANY HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD SHUT OFF OR ILLUMINATE, ETC. THE ONE DAY IT JUST WOULD NOT START. WE GOT IT JUMPED AND TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY AT THE APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED IT AND ENDED UP FIXING THE ALTERNATOR UNDER AN OPEN RECALL. LESS THAN 1 WEEK LATER, THE JEEP WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER GETTING ANOTHER JUMP START AND TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. AFTER MY INSISTENCE THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT AND SURE ENOUGH THAT NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THEY THEN TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY OR THE ALTERNATOR BUT REPLACED THE BATTERY ANYWAY, CHARGED ME $212 AS I AM JUST OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. 4 DAYS LATER, MY JEEP CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP START THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD DIE WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TESTED IT FOR ME AND AGAIN TOLD ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. I THEN HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO DEALER. IT'S AT THE DEALER NOW. FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, THEN THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN AND IT STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOW LOOKING AT THE WIRING AND WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR IT AND THEY CLAIM IT ISN'T RELATED (ALTHOUGH THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THIS IS REALLY THE ISSUE). IT ALL SEEMS VERY RELATED TO ME. DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST, MY JEEP HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR 9 DAYS SO FAR WITH NO RESOLUTION.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 7/5/15 AND MY DASH STARTED FLASHING. IT WAS READING THE INCORRECT SPEED AND MILEAGE AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND FCA ABOUT THIS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SPEEDOMETER,ODOMETER AND THE DASH FLASHING SINCE AUGUST 2014 BUT EVERYTIME I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WELL THIS TIME I TOOK A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING. MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ MY TRAVELING 30MPH THEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 20MPH AND THEN ALL THE WAY UP TO 40MPH ALL IN MY 22 SECOND VIDEO! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I WAS REALLY GOING AND THE FLASHING IS VERY DISSTRACTING TO TRY AND DRIVE AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. I HAVE TOLD FCA FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW THAT I DO NOT FEEL MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS SAFE AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE MORE AND MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH IT EVEN AFTER THE RECALLS WERE COMPLETED AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM THEM. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED SO MUCH TO THEM THAT THEY ASKED ME TO STOP CALLING.

MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE TO LEASE. I AM A RETURNING JEEP CUSTOMER AND THIS IS MY 5TH CHRYSLER LEASED PRODUCT. THIS ALL STARTED ONLY ONE WEEK (SEPTEMBER 2013) AFTER LEASING THE 2014 GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD GOING BLACK. BECAUSE OF THIS I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR OVER THREE WEEKS AND AT THAT POINT THERE STILL WAS NOT A FIX. THE DEALER AND SERVICE DEPT (DICK SCOTT DODGE) WERE NOT HELPFUL AT ALL REGARDING THIS MATTER. FINALLY I SWITCHED TO GOLLING AND THE SERVICE MANAGER QUICKLY RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND ORDERED A NEW PART. THANK GOODNESS FOR GOLLING!! CHRYSLER'S CASE MANAGER WAS USELESS AND NEVER RESOLVED THE ISSUE! THE RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED UNTIL DECEMBER. SINCE THIS TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS 5 RECALLS ALL IN THE FIRST YEAR OF LEASING. TO SAY I AM DISAPPOINTED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. I DO NOT TRUST THIS JEEP AT ALL AND WILL NOT BE LEASING ANOTHER ONE. I AM JUST SO GLAD THAT I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LEFT ON MY LEASE. THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM. I AM ALWAYS QUESTIONING THE SAFETY OF THIS JEEP WHEN I PUT MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD 5 RECALLS ON A LEASED CAR AND I HAVE BEEN LEASING FOR OVER 17 YEARS.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK TODAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP ON MY DASH AND MY DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN IN SPEED BUT I WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER OR SLOWER. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING IN MY JEEP. I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE ON 5/515 AND IT WAS THERE UNTIL 6/8/15 FOR THESE SAME KIND OF PROBLEMS. ALL MY DEALERSHIP KEEPS DOING IS FLASHING THE SOFTWARE AND TELLING ME IT IS FIXED. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT GETTING FIXED. MY TRANSMISSION TAKES SO LONG TO SHIFT GEARS AND SOMETIMES GETS STUCK IN NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING, MY TIRES CONSTANTLY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SLIPPING AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD CHILD THAT RIDES IN MY JEEP EVERYDAY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING THEM IN IT. I HAVE TRIED TO CALL FCA AND THEY REFUSE TO TALK TO ME OR HELP ME WITH A RESOLUTION TO THESE PROBLEMS. I JUST WANT TO FEEL SAFE WHEN I AM DRIVING AND ALSO TO FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY CHILD IN MY VEHICLE AND AT THIS POINT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY GRAND CHEROKEE ANYMORE AND IT IS A SHAME.

I WAS ON THE I-94 ENTRANCE/EXIT RAMP BETWEEN FULLERTON AVENUE AND WESTERN AVENUE. JUST BEFORE WESTERN AVE: THE LEFT LANE IS INTENDED FOR VEHICLES ENTERING I-94 NORTHBOUND, THE RIGHT LANE IS INTENDED FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE PROCEEDING TO WESTERN AVE. WHEN THE EVEN OCCURRED, THERE WAS A LINE OF VEHICLES STOPPED IN THE LEFT LANE DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON I-94. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT LANE AND HAD NO CARS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. AS I BEGAN TO PASS THE LONG LINE OF VEHICLES THAT WERE WAITING TO ENTER ON TO I-94 ON MY LEFT, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM BEGAN TO CHIME AND BRAKING BEGAN FOR NO REASON. I QUICKLY REACHED DOWN, DISABLED THE ABS FUNCTION, GLANCED IN MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR AND SAW THAT I HAD COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO BEING REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, I RE-ENABLED THE FEATURE THINKING THAT THE EVENT WAS A FLUKE. I RE-ENABLED IT, BUT HAD A HANDFUL OF INSTANCES WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD BE APPLIED IN SEEMINGLY INAPPROPRIATE SITUATIONS - MOSTLY ALL OF THEM IN DENSE CITY DRIVING. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 10K MILES ON IT. I HAVE YET TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE ON THIS OR THE MULTITUDE OF FACTORY RECALLS. POSSIBLY RELATED, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE THE PARKING SENSOR CHIMES HAVE GONE OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING -OR- IN GEAR, BUT STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. I OFTEN LEAVE THE FEATURE DISABLED UNTIL I GET READY TO PARK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON JUNE 9,2015 AND I USED MY TURN SIGNAL TO SWITCH LANES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WOULD NOT TURN OFF! THE TURN SIGNALS WERE FLASHING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN LEFT AND RIGHT THE ENTIRE WAY TO WORK. I GOT TO THE PARKING LOT AND I TURNED MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OFF AND I WENT INTO WORK FOR MY 16 HOUR SHIFT THINKNING THEY WOULD GO OFF BY THE TIME I WAS DONE WORKING BUT I WAS WRONG, THEY WERE STILL FLASHING WHEN I STARTED MY JEEP AGAIN! THEY BLINKED FOR ABOUT HALF MY 45 MINUTE DRIVE HOME AND THEN THEY JUST TURNED OFF. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY JEEP TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO I TOOK WHILE I WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT OF THEM FLASHING AND TOLD THEM I WANTED IT FIXED BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I PUT MY CHILD IN THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY AND HAVING THESE KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WERE UNSAFE. WELL THEY CALLED TODAY 6/18/15 AND SAID THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY CANNOT FIX IT! EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A VIDEO AS PROOF! I AM AFRAID TO PICK UP MY JEEP. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD AND UNSAFE TO PUT MY CHILD IN BUT THEY COULD REALLY CARE LESS AND SAID I HAVE TO PICK IT UP. I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO PICKING IT UP BECAUSE IT HAS BECOME SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD BUT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER WILL NOT FIX IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY.
