I TOOK MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TWO RECALLS ADDRESSED, BOTH REGARDING THE BRAKES, I BELIEVE. UPON WORKING ON THE VEHICLE, THE MASTER CYLINDER "FELL APART," ACCORDION TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR. THE MASTER CYLINDER IS ON NATIONWIDE BACKORDER, AND I WILL BE IN A RENTAL UNTIL "MID-NOVEMBER 2014." REALLY? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HOW DOES A MASTER CYLINDER "FALL APART"? *TR
Steering, Sep 15, 2014
ON 9/12/14, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT MID-TURN. THIS IS THE 7TH TIME MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT. IN PREVIOUS INCIDENTS IT WOULD SAY "SERVICE POWER STEERING" AS SOON AS I TURNED ON THE CAR THEN THE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT AFTER A PERIOD OF FEW MINUTES TO AN HOUR AND THE DRIVING WOULD BE FINE. THIS IS THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (ORCHARD) A FEW MONTHS AGO FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THERE WERE "NO ALERTS IN THE SYSTEM". THIS TIME I TOOK PICTURES OF THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" ALERTS. I HOPE THAT THEY WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO THIS, MY VEHICLE HAS HAD MORE THAN 5 SAFETY RECALLS IN THE LAST YEAR AND 2 OF THEM HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY (ORCHARD) DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

I HAD DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 520 MILES ENROUTE TO MY VACATION HOME AND WAS DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AND SEATBELTS WERE IN USE BY BOTH MYSELF AND PASSENGER. SUDDENLY AND AT THE SAME TIME THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED AND THE MESSAGE "ACC/FCW UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" POPPED UP ON THE DASHBOARD. FOR THE DURATION OF MY VACATION THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATIONAL HOWEVER I HAD NO CRUISE CONTROL. CONTACTED TWO JEEP DEALERS IN THE AREA AND THEY WERE TOO BOOKED UP TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE. UPON MY RETURN HOME I TOOK IT IN TO MY JEEP DEALER. HERE IS THE EXACT QUOTE FROM THEIR SERVICE INVOICE AS TO WHAT WAS DISCOVERED: "FOUND MANY MODULES WITH LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE ORC MODULE (AIRBAG MODULE) WITH CODES IN THEM. FOUND ORC TO HAVE AN INTERNAL FAULT, REPLACED AND SET UP ORC MODULE". *TR
