Passenger headrest popped open randomly while driving. Inspection is available upon request. My understanding is that this only occurs if a collision is detected. However no collision occured. No one was injured however had my wife been sitting there she could have easily been injured. The headrest could have smacked the back of her head. No warning lamps indicated anything wrong no warning occured before the deployment of the headrest. This seems to be an ongoing problem amongst jeep grand Cherokee owners.

Jeep Grand Cherokee power steering leak! We’re having the same problem that other Jeep owners are having, the steering rack leaks on the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. The leak was discovered through regular maintenance check in 2018. We filled the reservoir with new fluid, it was fine for the entire year. It wasn’t until July 2021 that we discovered that fluid was leaking from the Steering Rack and Pinion and spraying fluid on to the engine. It got so bad that we had to fill the reservoir daily! It appears that Jeep knew about this problem since 2012 but failed to do anything about it. https://www.carproblemzoo.com/jeep/grandcherokee/steering-rack-and-pinion-problems.php https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/leaking-power-steering-rack-and-pinion-boots.73596/ This Jeep only has 55,000 miles. My wife uses it locally and it’s never driven more than 100 miles a month and it has never been driven off road. This is appalling that it suffers from this kind failure so early in the Jeeps life. When I confronted the Jeep/Chrysler company with this issue, there only response was “it’s outside the warranty timeline”. The rep name was Sade and she was rude! This Jeep was garaged kept throughout it’s life. We’ve maintained this vehicle in immaculate condition, so much so that it STILL HAS THE NEW CAR SMELL!!! Very disappointed in Jeep. They used to be very reliable until they were bought out by FIAT, Go figure!

While driving, I heard a loud explosion, and my head/ neck jerked forward to the steering wheel. I immediately thought someone hit me from the back. My daughter in the passenger seat shouted, “Are you Ok?” She told me that the back head rest exploded. I was shaking and tears filled my eyes as I pulled over to the side of the road. The driver’s headrest deployed for NO reason! I was so lucky that this did not cause a major accident! That evening (and for the next 4-5 days), I had a headache and lower neck pain. Today, it still feels sore. Even though the dealer fixed it, the salesmanager could not confirm if the new head restraint had the same faulty parts inside. My daughter is 15 1/2…She is scared to death of learning to drive in my Jeep. She witnessed the restraint deploying, and doesn’t want that to happen to her. Me either! I have been a Jeep owner for 22 years. Sad to say that I might not be much longer :-/,

The air ride suspension says it's stuck in off-road 2 but is visibly stuck in the lowest setting. When driving it is very bumpy, almost worse than offroading. I do t think our safety is at risk. The problem has not been looked at by any professionals or independent dealers. It has not been inspected. We can't remember the exact time we noticed the message, but roughly around December 2020- January 2021. It is not a light it is a message that pops up a handful of times while driving.

Randomly my grand Cherokee overland 4wd stared spraying oil all over the rear of the vehicle. Took it to jeep and they said the rear deferential was shot and that the hose had melted off due to over heating. The vehicle never once displayed any indication of any failure or overheating. When I asked how could there not be any warning lights I was told it just happens. After researching this issue I discovered it's a very common problem. My concern is the vehicle could have easily locked up and caused the vehicle to flip or cause an accident with no warning.

My jeep has developed the 3.6L Penastar tick. I noticed FCA extended the warranties for vehicles equipped with the 3.6L Penastar V6 but for my model they stopped in 2013. How can I get my year added to that warranty since it developed the same problems as the previous years. We had our jeep at a local dealer in Wasilla Ak for a tune up before our long trip and he didn't mention anything to us even though the tick was noticeable. I then had my vehicle state safety inspection completed (Texas) in 1st week of June and the mechanic told me about it and after some research, my jeep has the same tick coming from the engine.

Passenger side front seat seat belt fail to retract once extended, resulting in excess seat belt material across the body, and thus possibility of a delayed or insufficient tensioner reaction in an event. After taking to a local service shop, the problem is with the upper plastic guide pinching the belt. This is a huge safety issue since there can be slack in the belt for the front passenger. Also, the upper plastic guide on the driver side front seat belt has a fracture.

My vehicle was in park and unable to start, all of the lights and indicators worked as expected but it the message on the dashboard said to continue in Drive.

This is the same component that has failed in countless Jeep Grand Cherokees yet there has not been a recall for my specific model.

The active head restraint on the passenger on the passenger side deployed without any collision. We came out one morning to just find this popped open and it will not reset. It has to go to the dealer for repair (scheduled 6/23) but could have caused serious injury if it deployed while someone was sitting in the seat.
