  2. Power train, Equipment adaptive/mobility, Engine, Aug 27, 2013

    VEHICLE IS SLOW WHEN SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS; PULLING AWAY FROM STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS NOT IN DRIVE AND GOING TO STALL. THIS COULD RESULT IN BEING REAR ENDED SINCE SO MANY DRIVERS SPEED AWAY WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN. IT SEEMS LIKE IT STUTTERS DURING SHIFTING. HAVING IT IN ECO-MODE HIGHLIGHTS THE ISSUE FURTHER. THE DOWN SHIFTING AT HIGHER SPEEDS FEELS LIKE A STICK SHIFT CAR, NOT NORMAL OR COMFORTABLE. EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY ACCELERATION IS OFTEN NOT VERY RESPONSIVE DURING ENTRANCE AND PASSING. THE GAS PEDAL IS VERY TOUCHY, NO WAY TO PULL AWAY SLOWLY, JUST TAKES OFF; THIS MIGHT BE PART OF THE ISSUE, CONFUSING THE SENSORS DURING SHIFTING. I CONTACTED MY SALES PERSON WHO SAID HE'D HAVE A SERVICE TECH CONTACT ME, NO CALLS YET. I WISH I HAD CHECKED THIS SITE AND EDMUNDS BEFORE BUYING, AS I WOULD HAVE CHOSE A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER. THIS IS MY 4TH JEEP GR CHEROKEE, UNFORTUNATELY THE LEAST DESIRABLE, MY '09 HAD ZERO ISSUES AND ORIGINAL BRAKES AT TRADE IN WITH OVER 105,000 MILES; '14 IS LIKELY MY LAST. *TR

    I PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED FOR $46,000 FROM DOTHAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 17TH, 2013. WE DROVE OFF THE AT 8:30 P.M. THAT EVENING. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 19TH, AT APPROXIMATELY 4:00 P.M. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER HAVING JUST LEFT MY JOB AT THE WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF' OFFICE, WHERE I AM THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER, MY VEHICLE'S SCREEN FLASHED A WARNING THAT READ: VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT MALFUNCTION. THE SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE. WHEN IT CAME BACK ON THE SCREEN READ: PLEASE SERVICE TRANSMISSION FOLLOWED BY TURN OFF IGNITION TO ENGAGE PARK. I TRIED TO TURN OFF IGNITION, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND THE WARNING THEN READ: VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK TO TURN OFF IGNITION. THIS ENDLESS CIRCLE CONTINUED AS I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AT A GAS STATION PARKING LOT. I SAT IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE GAS STATION FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MINUTES WHERE I DOCUMENTED (VIA CELLPHONE CAMERA) THE REPEATED MESSAGES AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN MY ENGINE OFF AND SIMULTANEOUSLY ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE GEARS WOULD NOT DISPLAY. THERE WAS NO WAY TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, OR WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN AT ALL. AFTER STRUGGLING WITH THE VEHICLE FOR CLOSE TO 7 MINUTES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP (AS NOTED ABOVE) IMMEDIATELY. I WAS ASSURED BY THE SALESMAN THAT THIS "HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO JEEPS". THIS WAS MY FIRST MAJOR CONCERN WITH NOT ONLY THE VEHICLE, BUT ALSO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE A FULL TEAM OF CERTIFIED MECHANICS THAT WORK FOR OUR OFFICE. I MET WITH EACH OF THEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT A COMMON THING FOR ANY VEHICLE. MY CRUISE CONTROL IS NOW COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. *TR

FURTHERMORE, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 56 DAYS NOW, AND THE PARTS REQUIRED TO FIX THE SEAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN NO APPROXIMATE DATE OF HAVING THE SEAT FIXED AND AM WITHOUT A CAR INDEFINITELY.

I WAS TOLD "IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE"...A LEAK IN THE FUEL TUBE-WHAT THE HECK IS LEAKING-IS SAFE. OK, BUT TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALER WITH LESS THAN 2,500 MILES IS A BIT MUCH. I HAVE A 2006 JEEP, SAME MAKE/MODEL THAT HAD 1ST MAJOR REPAIR (WATER PUMP) AT 145,000 MILES....SO MUCH FOR IMPROVED MODELS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A HARBINGER OF FUTURE ISSUES. *TR

    THIS VEHICLE HAS ALLEGEDLY BEEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY FOR THE SAME ISSUE I HAD TODAY. VEHICLE KEEPS JUMPING OUT OF DRIVE AND GOES INTO NEUTRAL. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO TURN LEFT THE VEHICLE JUMPED INTO NEUTRAL LEAVING ME TO FACE TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS ME. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE TO PULL AWAY. THANK GOD I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED AND THE OTHER VEHICLES HAD TIME TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE HITTING ME. EITHER JEEP /CHRYSLER OR MY DEALERSHIP IS LYING WHEN THEY SAY THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN FIXED! *TR

    ISSUES TO DATE: THESE ISSUES ARE NOT DEPENDENT ON WHICH KEY FOB IS PRESENT OR WHICH MEMORY SETTING IS PUSHED. IT HAPPENS ON ALL MEMORY AND PERSONALIZATION SETTINGS. --THE COLLISION WARNING AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE RANDOMLY SAY THEY ARE ACTIVE OR INACTIVE.. SOMETIMES THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING. WHEN CLICKING THE CHECK BOX FOR NEAR OR FAR, SOMETIMES IT WILL "UNCHECK" WHILE YOU ARE WATCHING IT. SOMETIMES YOU CAN CLICK FAR, THEN IT MOVES TO NEAR ALL ON ITS OWN. --RANDOMLY THE CHECK MARKS FOR OTHER VARIOUS CUSTOMIZATIONS DISAPPEAR. RANDOMLY THEY REAPPEAR. --NAV/RADIO RANDOMLY REBOOTS. THIS OCCURS IN PARK, AND WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS --NAV HAS COMPLETELY LOST ME AND PUT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A LARGE BODY OF WATER (HAVE PICTURE) --AC DOESN'T COME ON WHEN VEHICLE IS REMOTELY STARTED. IT WAS SET TO AUTO AND 74 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. --RADIO SETTINGS DON'T CHANGE WHEN YOU PUSH FOR OCCUPANT ONE OR TWO-- THEN AGAIN SOMETIMES IT CHANGES JUST BECAUSE --XM SERVICE SOMETIMES TAKES 30 SECONDS OR MORE TO LOAD.. EVEN WHEN SITTING IN A WAL-MART PARKING LOT. WHILES IT'S LOADING THE REVERSE CAMERA DOESN'T ACTIVATE. -- GOTTEN TWO VEHICLE NEEDS SERVICE 911 MESSAGES. ONE JUST FOR SERVICE THE SECOND TIME FOR PHONE NOT WORKING (HAVE PICTURE OF THIS SCREEN) --ON SECOND MESSAGE I HAD THE VEHICLE CALL UCONNECT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE CALLED... MY PHONE WAS NOT LINKED TO IT. THE GIRL ON THE OTHER END HUNG UP ON ME AFTER I REFUSED TO PROVIDE MY VIN WHICH THE VEHICLES CENTER CONSOLE SAYS IT SENT. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE CENTER CONSOLE/NAV UNIT YESTERDAY AND NOTHING CHANGED. *TR

    VEHICLE HAS MORE THAN 6 LIGHTS IN ILLUMINATION ON THE FRONT AT THE SAME TIME. MICHIGAN STATE LAW, AND OTHERS, SAYS NO MORE THAN 4 LIGHTS ALLOWED ON OVER 300 C.P. AT ONE TIME. THAT MANY LIGHTS IN ILLUMINATION AT ONE TIME IS BLINDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE AN ILLUSTRATIVE PICTURE SHOWING THE LIGHTS BUT COULD NOT FIND A WAY TO UPLOAD IT. IF YOU DESIRE PICTURE PLEASE E-MAIL ME AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND. *TR

    INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS INCLUDED THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, RPM. AND ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE. I HAD NO IDEA THE SPEED IN WHICH I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 10 DAYS. I WAS HEADING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS OCCURRED. DROVE IT RIGHT THERE AND MADE SURE THEY SAW IT WAS NOT WORKING BEFORE TAKING AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT NEEDED A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IT WOULD BE 3 TO 5 DAYS TO GET THE PART. THE DEALER TRIED TO GET ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE AND BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PART CAME IN SINCE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAME BACK ON. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DOING THAT. THE DEALERSHIP ENDING UP GIVING ME A RENTAL CAR. *TR

    THE VEHICLE STALLED FOR NO REASON. IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS (APPROX 10 TIMES) TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD START AND I COULD DRIVE 40-50 YARDS AND WOULD STALL AGAIN. MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON SUCH AS VEHICLE IN GEAR (IT WASN'T), ETC. ONCE IT DID RESTART AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS TWICE NOW WITHOUT CAUSE (I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 WEEKS). THE JEEP DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO RESET THE CODES AND DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I FOUND OUT A CRANK SENSOR HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GUARANTY IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AND TO CHECK BACK IN THE NEAR FUTURE AS ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE UPDATES MAY BECOME AVAILABLE. *TR
