    TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN MAKING A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN ACCELERATING. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED TWO DEALERS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO SUPPLY THE REMEDY AND PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE TWO DEALERS MENTIONED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

  3. Power train, Aug 24, 2016, crash

    I DRIVE THE 2014 GR CHEROKEE WITH THE ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFTER THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SHIFTER NOT ENGAGING ALL OF THE WAY INTO PARK. I HAD THE RECALL 'FIX' DONE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, BUT THEN FOUND OUT FROM THE DEALER THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ONLY ENGAGES IF YOU ATTEMPT TO OPEN ONE OF THE DOORS. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, AFTER PARALLEL PARKING ON A BUSY CITY STREET, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REMAINED IN THE CAR FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MINUTE WHILE FISHING QUARTERS OUT OF MY CUPHOLDER (FOR THE PARKING METER). I ALL OF A SUDDEN FELT LIKE SOMETHING HIT MY CAR, LOOKED UP ONLY TO FIND MY CAR HAD ROLLED BACKWARD INTO THE PARKED CAR BEHIND ME. I HAVE A HUGE BIKE RACK ON THE BACK OF MY JEEP THAT BLOCKS THE REVERSE CAMERA, SO THE AUDIBLE SECURITY ALERT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN REVERSE - THIS ALERT DID NOT COME ON WHILE THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARD, THEREFORE, THE CAR WAS NOT IN REVERSE, BUT RATHER NOT IN PARK ALL OF THE WAY. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS BEHIND MY CAR, NOR ANY DAMAGE TO EITHER VEHICLE, HOWEVER, IF A PERSON WOULD HAVE HAD THEIR BACK TO ME, I WOULD HAVE CRUSHED THEM BETWEEN THE TWO CARS. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 6 DAYS (SECOND TIME FOR SAME ISSUE) AND I'M DEALING WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WITHIN CHRYSLER/JEEP TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE SOMEHOW. I WANT EITHER A NEW GEAR SHIFTER THAT IS NOT ELECTRONIC, OR TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS GEAR SHIFTER IS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING THE RUN-AROUND, TO SAY THE LEAST, ABOUT A MAJOR RECALL THAT IS THE AUTO MAKERS FAULT, NOT THE CONSUMER. FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 YEARS AND TYPICALLY AVERAGE 20-30K MILES/YEAR. I AM CONSULTING A LAWYER AT THIS POINT.

THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SURGED FORWARD INTO DRIVE AND CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S GARAGE DOOR. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THAT THE GEAR WAS PLACED IN PARK.

  5. Power train, Other or unspecified, Aug 14, 2016

    MY JEEP WAS SERVICED TWICE FOR THE RECENT SHIFTER PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IDENTIFIES AS DRIVER INATTENTION OR CONFUSION. THE SOFTWARE PATCH THAT IS INTENDED TO "AUTO PARK" THE VEHICLE, HAS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE ENGINE IS STARTED, I APPLY THE BRAKE AND PLACE THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE OR A FORWARD GEAR. I THE DESIRED GEAR IS ILLUMINATED AND I EASE OF THE BRAKE, HOWEVER, WHEN APPLY GAS THE ENGINE SIMPLY RACES AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. JEEPS ATTEMPT TO FIX A PROBLEM HAS NOW LED TO ANOTHER PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE AND A DEATH MACHINE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN IT'S OPERATION AND I CAN'T IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. JEEP CORPORATE SHOULD BE IN JAIL.

  6. Power train, Aug 12, 2016

    TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL AT A CAR WASH, THE CONTACT RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND OPENED THE DOOR. INDEPENDENTLY, THE GEAR SHIFTER SHIFTED FROM NEUTRAL TO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V240000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

  7. Power train, Electrical system, Aug 11, 2016

    THE SHIFTER PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BUT I READ ABOUT THE PROPOSED SOLUTION AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE THAT WILL ONLY FIX PART OF THE PROBLEM. UNLESS THE DRIVER IS PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE IN PARK. BUT IT IS ALSO VERY EASY TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL. THE NEAR MISS I HAD WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT THAT HAD AN INCLINE TO A VERY BUST STREET. I THOUGHT I WAS IDLING TO THE EASE OF THE STREET BUT I WAS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL. WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE TO PULL ONTO THE STREET THE CAR ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BUT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT EXCELLERATE WHEN I HIT THE THROTTLE. SCRAMBLING TO GET THE CAR IN GEAR IT TOOK A FEW PRESCIOUS SECONDS TO REALIZE YOU HAVE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT. TOO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SHIFTER IS GOING TO GET OTHERS KILLED UNLESS A COMPLETE NEW SYSTEM IS INSTALLED. THIS CAR HAS MANY GREAT SAFETY FEATURES BUT IN MANY CASES THERE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH TIME TO REACT. I'M A 40 YEAR EXPERIENCED LICENSED DRIVER WITH CLASS A CDL. A DRIVER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON THE SHIFTER. IT SHOULD BE A NATURAL MOTION. THIS IS A TICKING TIME BOMB THAT MUST BE REPAIRED OR IT WILL CAUSE MORE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT AN ALARM THAT TELLS THE DRIVER THE CAR IS OR IS NOT IN PARK WILL ONLY FIX PART OF THE PROBLEM. I ROUTINELY FIND MYSELF IN THE WRONG GEAR. JEEP IS TRYING TO FIND A CHEAP WAY OUT THAT IS JUST NOT GOING TO WORK.

    I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE THE DAY OF PURCHASE ABOUT THE GEAR SELECTOR. IT DOES NOT ENGAGE IN PARK CORRECTLY. IT JUMPS OUT OF PARK WHEN YOU LEAVE THE VEHICLE. THE PADDLES ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE A TOTAL MENACE. I LEFT THE CAR WHEN IT WAS RUNNING AND IT STARTED TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. NO WARNING SYSTEM WILL SOLVE THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT JUMPS OUT OF PARK.

    THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER THAT HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY. I HAVE READ THAT, FINALLY, CHRYSLER IS ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION THEY HAVE COME UP WITH, TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IF THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPENED, DOES NOT SUFFICE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. HERE IS WHY: I HAVE HAD THE SITUATION, WHERE I PULL MY CAR INTO MY GARAGE WHICH IS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. MY KIDS JUMP OUT OF THE CAR, AND WALK AROUND THE BACK TO GET INTO THE HOUSE. AS IS OFTEN THE CASE, I HAVE A FEW THINGS TO GATHER UP, SO I AM NOT AS QUICK TO EXIT THE CAR AS THEY ARE. KIDS ARE BEHIND THE CAR AND I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STARTS ROLLING BACKWARD WHILE THE KIDS ARE BEHIND IT. IT IS ONLY BY EXTREME LUCK THAT I DID NOT KILL BOTH MY CHILDREN. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, THAT EVEN THOUGH I AM PAINFULLY AWARE OF THE SITUATION WITH THE SHIFTER, AND I AM EXTREMELY DILIGENT, YOU CAN BECOME DISTRACTED AND FORGET. FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE SENT MESSAGES TO CHRYSLER (SPECIFICALLY, WHEN THEY SENT THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY AFTER I FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR) THAT MENTIONS THIS AS A PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION. NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. THE SECOND I READ ABOUT THAT YOUNG MAN GETTING KILLED IN LA I SAID TO MY SON THAT I WOULD GUARANTEE HE WAS DRIVING A JEEP. I HAVE BEEN SAYING SOMEONE WAS GOING TO GET KILLED FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, AND NOW SOMEONE HAS. AND, I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THERE ARE OTHERS WHO JUST DIDN'T REALIZE WHY OR WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. PLEASE REQUIRE THEM TO MAKE A BETTER FIX AND TO CALL EACH AND EVERY JEEP OWNER AND VERBALLY DESCRIBE THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T READ THEIR MAIL, WHO DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH ETC. THEIR FIX IS NOT GOING TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
