Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH MITIGATION. 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS EQUIPPED FCW SYSTEM. IN SERVICE DATE OF 10/21/15 WITH CURRENT MILAGE JUST OF 5,000. SINCE DELIVERY THE FCW SYSTEM HAS NEVER FLASHED A BRAKE WARNING OR ATTEMPTED TO TO STOP VEHICLE IN WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A PANIC STOP SITUATION. HAVE ADJUSTED TO FAR OR NEAR AND SYSTEM DOES NOTHING. TOOK VEHICLE TO JEEP DEALER ON 1/11/16 FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. DEALER RAN COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS . DEALER DIAGNOSED NO PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO CALL JEEP BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. I OPENED A CASE WITH JEEP AS TOLD. JEEP HAS TAKEN THE STANCE SINCE THE DEALER FOUND NO COMPUTER ISSUES THEY ARE CORRECT AND THEREFORE THE SYSTEM MUST BE OPERATING PROPERLY. AT WITS END AT THIS POINT. IN TALKING TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND LOOKING AT JEEPS OWN PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE GIVING CONSTANT WARNINGS. NOT ONE WARNING IN 5000 MILES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SYSTEM DESIGNED TO HELP MITIGATE DAMAGE AND INJURY WILL NOT WORK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO NOT TO STOP ACCIDENTS OR TO ALLOW DRIVER TO BE CARELESS, IT IS SUPPOSED TO BACK UP THE DRIVER. I FEEL THAT I AM AT RISK FOR PERSONAL INJURY IF SYSTEM FAILS.

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND IT HAS ROLLED AWAY TWICE IN THE 7 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS DROVE UP ONTO A TOW TRUCK. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE ON THE TRUCK THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND PLACED IN PARK BUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT SET. THE DRIVER GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS IN THE PROCESSES OF ATTACHING SAFETY STRAPS WHEN THE VEHICLE MANAGED TO ROLL OFF OF THE TOW TRUCK AND DOWN THE DRIVE WAY. IT SEEMED ODD THAT THIS OCCURRED (WITNESSED BY BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I) AND WE BLEW OFF THE ENTIRE INCIDENT THINKING THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER DID SOMETHING WRONG. THAT WAS UNTIL RECENTLY, WHEN THE SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED. MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS PARKED ON A SMALL AMOUNT OF ICE/SNOW IN THE DRIVEWAY. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE HOUSE, I WENT TO THE VEHICLE TO PLACE MY 3 MONTH OLD BABY INTO HIS CAR SEAT AND AS I WAS DOING SUCH THE VEHICLE JUST BEGAN TO ROLL. THE VEHICLE MANAGED TO ROLL ABOUT A FOOT AS THE DRIVEWAY HAS NO SLOPE TO IT. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WAS NOT ON, AND IT WAS PLACED IN PARK. THERE WERE TWO OTHER PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHOM ALSO WITNESS THIS EVENT (ONE BEING A MECHANIC) WHICH CAME OVER AND COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT THEY JUST SAW. AFTER THIS OCCURRED I CONTACTED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT WOULD NOT ROLL. I EXPLAINED THAT BOTH OCCURRENCES HAPPENED IN PARK THEN SHE INSTRUCTED ME TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY WOULD LOOK IT OVER. HAVING SAID THAT I SHOULD NOTE, OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS PICKED UP FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT TWO HOURS PRIOR TO THE SECOND INCIDENT AND A "27 POINT PEACE OF MIND" INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED. WE WILL SEE WHAT COMES OF THE FUTURE APPOINTMENT. I JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DO THIS AGAIN, ESPECIALLY WITH MY BABY INSIDE.

AT 2:30 PM ON OCTOBER 30TH 2015 I PARKED IN A COMMERCIAL LOT. I LEFT THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A STORE, WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE STORE I REALIZED THE CAR WAS "RUNNING". I OPENED THE DOOR AND REACHED AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN THE CAR OFF BY PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON. I THINK PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE TO GO TO ANOTHER STORE. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE 2ND STORE I SAW MY CAR HAD ENGAGED INTO DRIVE AND MOVED OVER 50 FEET ACROSS THE PARTING LOT AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT TO MY CAR I FOUND IT RUNNING AND IN "DRIVE". THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHOUT ANYONE IN THE CAR. THE CAR BASICALLY "RAN AWAY" WITHOUT ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE.

THE 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED COMES WITH PUSH BUTTON STARTING. WITH THE CAR LEFT RUNNING AND THE FOB KEY TAKEN AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE, THE CAR CONTINUES TO RUN FOR HOURS. IF IT IS NOT LOCKED, ANYONE CAN SIMPLY GET IN AND DRIVE IT AWAY TO UNLIMITED DISTANCES. IF SOMEONE PARKS THE CAR IN A GARAGE AND FORGETS TO TURN IT OFF, IT WILL RUN FOR HOURS, FILL THE GARAGE/HOUSE WITH CARBON MONOXIDE AND HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE CAUSE OF 13 DEATHS IN THE US. THE PUSH BUTTON STARTING WAS A BAD IDEA. THE SIMPLE KEY, USED FOR DECADES, ALLOWED THE CAR TO BE STARTED, AND WHEN THE KEY WAS SHUT OFF AND REMOVED, THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN. SIMPLE! IN MY OPINION THE PUSH BUTTON STARTING WAS A BAD IDEA AND NEEDS TO BE REVISED. IF THE FOB KEY LEAVES THE CAR, AND THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING, THE CAR ALARM SHOULD GO OFF, WARNING THE DRIVER THAT THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN FIRST.

I ATTEMPTED TO CLIMB INTO THE VEHICLE TO STOP IT, WHEN I FELL TO THE GROUND AND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE OF THE VEHICLE RAN OVER MY PELVIC AREA. I AM POSITIVE THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK AT THE TIME IT STARTED TO ROLL AWAY.

I PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY, LEFT THE CAR RUNNING. DID NOT ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. I WALKED OUT OF THE CAR, INTO MY HOUSE TO PICK UP SOMETHING AND THEN RETURNED TO THE DRIVEWAY. MY CAR WAS NO LONGER IN THE DRIVEWAY, BUT WAS NOW ACROSS THE STREET AND IN MY NEIGHBORS YARD. IT APPARENTLY ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE IN PARK. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAUSE INJURY TO SOMEONE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU WANT ME TO PROCEED. I OBVIOUSLY NEED A CAR FOR WORK AND TO CARPOOL, BUT AM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT.

AS THE OWNER OF A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE I FIND THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER IS A PROBLEM AREA. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL WHERE THE SELECTOR IS WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE INDICATOR. YOU THINK IT IS IN DRIVE AND ITS IN NEUTRAL,AND YOU WOULD BE UNABLE TO MAKE A MOVE QUICKLY IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION (LIKE THE WOMAN IN THE MERCEDES ML HIT BY A TRAIN IN NY). WORSE YOU THINK IT IS IN PARK AND YOU WANT TO GET OUT WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING, SAY TO GET THE MAIL OUT OF MY MAIL BOX, ONLY TO FIND OUT IT IS REVERSE AND STARTS TO MOVE AS YOU GO TO GET OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE 2016 IS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS, PERHAPS GOING BACK TO THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM WHICH IS DEFINITIVE. THAT FIX OUGHT TO BE RETROFITTED TO THE 2014 AND 2015 MODELS. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE THE 2015 DIESEL GC IS ONE FANTASTIC VEHICLE.

SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY ON 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. SOUND OF LARGE CRACK THEN IT SHATTERED. TOOK IT TO CERTIFIED JEEP SERVICE PROVIDER (ANCIRA JEEP, SAN ANTONIO, TX) AND PAUL, THE SERVICE MANAGER, SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT IT. THERE'S NO WAY IT WOULD HAVE JUST EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT IT - IT SHATTERED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. I HAVE CALLED JEEP, WHO SAYS THEY MUST STAND BEHIND THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DEALER AND IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE OR FAULTY PRODUCT ISSUE. IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX.
