The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While operating the vehicle the contact became ill and had headaches, nasal drip, and burning eyes. The contact suspected that carbon monoxide was leaking into the cabin of the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 162,000. Carbon monoxide comes into the cabin.

The Active Head Restraint system, which is integrated into the headrest unexpectedly deployed while I was safely operating the vehicle on the highway. The impact to the back of my head caused a concussion. The vehicle was not involved in a collision or other kind of accident that would trigger the system to deploy. After parking the vehicle and inspecting the headrest, it was observed that several plastic fastening components failed causing the unintended deployment of the system. It was also observed that the plastic around the metal fastening pin had failed. Internet research shows that this is a known problem with Fiat Chrysler automobiles. A Federal investigation is ongoing relating to this issue. Further, there is a class action lawsuit in the state of California.

Seat belts, May 26, 2022
Jeep customers were not alerted to the seat belt plastic D ring potentially having visible stress/fatigue cracks and breaking overtime. When broken, the D ring prevents the seat belt from functioning correctly by pinching the seat belt and causing it not retract. Reference TSB 23-013-21. This is a preventable issue, but Jeep customers need to know to have their car visually inspected. This was reported already to the NHTSA but closed due to Jeep offering a warranty extension. This solution requires the seat belt to actually break so the customer can be allerted to the issue and have the seatbelt replaced. In my case, my driver seat belt no longer retracts and my passenger side has significant visible stress cracks in the D ring. I notified my Jeep dealer of the issue and the TSB. My first appointment was only for Jeep to confirm the problem, which they did and returned my car to me stating they don’t have the replacement parts which are on backorder with no expected arrival date. I also notified Jeep corporate of this issue in detail. It has been over a month and I must continue to drive my vehicle as is, as the replacement parts are not available. I recommend a recall for Jeep owners to have their seatbelts visually inspected for cracks so the defective parts can be replaced before they actually break and cause a safety issue.

Engine, May 2, 2022
- What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The 2012 to 2015 392 Hemis had a known issue with lifters - like mine does - where the cylindrical rotating ‘spheres’ which contact the cam shaft would wear at their inner axle/shaft, start ‘floating’, and as they would wear more (once the wear starts the wearing accelerates) to where the side-supports/tails for each lifter would make contact with the cam lobes, and start causing ruts and flats on the cam shaft. This will degrade quickly to the point a head-job will be requires, along with new cam and lifter set. Here is what is important; the replacement lifters are a DIFFERENT part number. Take note of what I just stated. Chrysler/Jeep will not replace stock lifters with the SAME ones - they will use an UPGRADED lifter set. SO - this should have been a recall. This fix will cost approx. $6K+ in labor and parts. If a motor is needed $16-$17k. I have the defective parts available. - How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? People's safety is at risk as a motor blowing up or seizing while driving could be fatal. - Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Yes, Lithia Jeep of Spokane has torn the motor down and confirmed the defect. - Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No - Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps, but audible ticking/knocking noise. This defect can be found all over the internet by searching Hemi Tick.

It has been to the dealer 3 times and the following has been replaced: the electronic shift module, the shift head/knob, the electronic shift module again, and finally the wiring itself, and now 10 miles after picking up my car that was being serviced since Monday (it is Friday now), I have the same issue and it makes my car stuck in first or second gear, I cannot shift into park or out of drive unless I shut the engine off, it puts my car into limp mode and won't let me accelerate or else the car jerks, my infotainment screen intermittently shuts off, and I get the following warning lights and messages: Check engine light, Braking system light, TPMS light, traction control light, "Service Electronic Braking System" message, "Service Shifter" message with OBD code U1467, "Service Power Steering" message, "Service Transmission- Continue in D. Do not shift or turn engine off" message. The PRND lights on the shift knob also flash. This is very dangerous as my car cannot be shifted out of drive (into park), the car won't accelerate or move above whatever speed 1st gear or 2nd gear will allow me to, the car physically jerks forward, and whatever systems like power steering, braking, etc. that may be affected based on the warning lights. I only get the diagnostic code U1467 which is for the shifter, though.
