AFTER PICKING UP MY 2 YEAR OLD SON FROM DAYCARE ON DAN VALLEY ROAD (CITY STREET) IN MADISON, NC, I BEGAN TO TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. AFTER GETTING HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD (STILL IN MOTION) THERE IS A LOUD POPPING SOUND THAT OCCURRED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AS I LOOK OVER I SEE THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST IS DETACHED. WE WERE NOT IN ANY COLLISION OR HARD BRAKING OF ANY SORTS. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY INTO THE LOWE'S IMPROVEMENT PARKING LOT TO ASSESS THE ISSUE. UPON MY OBSERVATION IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE COVERING OF THE METAL BAR (THAT WAS STILL LODGED WITHIN ITS PLACED FOR WHEN THE HEADREST IS ATTACHED) HAD BROKEN.

I'VE READ ABOUT A RECALL REGARDING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND MY DEALER WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM WITHOUT IT. I WANT IT FIXED SO I CAN USE MY CRUISE CONTROL
Electrical system, Engine, Jun 10, 2018
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON A 2-LANE ROAD, OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN GOING OFF SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY, AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND PUT IN A SAFE CONDITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE ENGINE STALLED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER 2 MONTHS OF TROUBLESHOOTING WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERING, OUR SHOP BELIEVES THEY HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE, WHICH IS A FAULTY TONE WHEEL IN THE DRIVETRAIN, AT WHERE THE ENGINE COUPLES TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE TONE WHEEL LOST ABOUT 1/4" OF ENCODED MAGNETIC MATERIAL, AND THIS MADE THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE, EVEN WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS FAILURE THREW NO CODES TO THE COMPUTER FOR THE TECHNICIAN TO INTERPRET, AND THE ONLY SYMPTOM IS THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT FIRE, EVEN THOUGH, AS A DIESEL, THERE IS NO SPARK IGNITION SYSTEM.

ON SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 2018, I ENTERED THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT OF MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (WHICH IS ALWAYS PARKED INSIDE MY ENCLOSED GARAGE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA) AND IMMEDIATELY DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER'S HEADREST WAS IN A PROTRUDING POSITION. DURING A CLOSER EXAMINATION, I DISCOVERED THAT PART OF THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM USED TO KEEP OF "TELESCOPING" HEADREST (DESIGNED TO DEPLOY DURING A TRAFFIC COLLISION) HAD BROKEN LOOSE, WHICH CAUSED THE HEADREST TO DEPLOY. *PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED. SUBSEQUENTLY, I CONDUCTED A SEARCH ON SEVERAL JEEP (CHRYSLER) WEBSITES AND QUICK DISCOVERED THAT OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME INCIDENT. FURTHERMORE, WHEN I EXAMINED SOME OF THEIR PHOTOS WITH MY PHOTOS, I COULD CLEARLY SEE THAT THE FAILURE INVOLVES TWO SMALL PLASTIC LATCHES THAT HOLD A SMALL METAL ROD IN PLACE; WHICH IN TURN HOLDS THE HEADREST IN AN "UN-DEPLOYED" POSITION UNTIL NEEDED. IN ADDITION, I DISCOVERED THAT NUMEROUS JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAD CONTACTED JEEP CHRYSLER, AND THE JEEP CHRYSLER CORP. HAD TOLD MANY OF THE OWNERS EFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM, THAT IF THEIR VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE THE 3YEAR/36MONTH WARRANTY, AND JEEP CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. SINCE DISCOVERING THE INCIDENT, I FIND THIS DESIGN TO BE CRITICAL TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF MY VEHICLE AND IF IN FACT THE HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I FEEL IT WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY CAUSED A SERIOUS INJURY TO ME (OR MY PASSENGER BASED ON THE SAME DESIGN), OR IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR TRAFFIC COLLISION WHICH MIGHT HAVE LED TO UNINTENTIONAL FATALITY. I THEREFORE ASK THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS FLAWED PART DESIGN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND BASED ON THEIR INVESTIGATION ISSUE A RECALL SHOULD JEEP CHRYSLER FAIL TO MAKE A QUICK AND RESPONSIBLE EFFORT TO THE REPLACE THE PART BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED. THANK YOU, [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PUT MY CAR IN PARK IN THE GARAGE, GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND IT STARTED TO BACK UP ON ME, BENDING THE DOOR BACK AND LOOSENING THE HINGE BUT GETTING CAUGHT ON THE WALL. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP BACK IN AND STEP ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR SHIFTER HAD SLIPPED BACK INTO REVERSE. I HAD MY CAR FIXED AS THE DOOR WAS UNSTEADY.

I HAD MY JEEP FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND ONE DAY, FOR NO REASON, IT JUST SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT TO JEEP AND THEY SAID THE WRONG OIL WAS USED IN THE PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE. SO THEY PUT OIL IN THE TRUCK. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER AND IT'S DOING THE SAME THING. IT'S A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. I CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE ON DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION EACH TIME.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I ACCELERATED, MY VEHICLE WENT IN REVERSE. I QUICKLY SWITCHED THE GEAR BACK TO "DRIVE," BUT OVERCOMPENSATED AND REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. THE GEAR ON MY JEEP IS OVERLY SENSITIVE AND FLIPS FROM "DRIVE" TO "REVERSE" TO "NEUTRAL" WITHOUT MY NOTICE (I.E., IF MY ELBOW HITS IT). THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT HAS RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS. *TT *CN

"LOW POWER STEERING FLUID". 2ND TIME TAKEN SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP, FOR POWER STEERING FLUID BEEN BELOW THE MIN MARK. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY INSPECTED VEHICLE FOR LEAKS, NO FOUND. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IN THIS TYPE VEHICLES IS NORMAL THAT FLUID EVAPORATE AND THAT JUST NEED TO BE REFILL EVERYTIME GOES BELOW MIN. IN MY OPINION THIS IS LIKE BRAKE SYSTEM WERE FLUID DON'T EVAPORATE BUT WILL GO LOW IN THE EXISTENCE OF A LEAK. DEALERSHIP NEED TO DO AN INPECTION WITH THE VEHICLE OPERATING TO LOOK FOR LEAK SINCE IT COULD BE LEAKING STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND WHEN VEHICLE IS ON THE MOVE.

I'VE REACHED OUT SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS WITH MY TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH MY JEEP. I WAS TOLD FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE 2 YEARS THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO FIX IT OR THAT IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES. AFTER GETTING CHRYSLER/JEEP INVOLVED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVING A CASE MANAGER WHO WAS ABSOLUTELY USELESS, SOMEHOW AFTER 2 YEARS THEY MAGICALLY REALIZED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR OVER A WEEK AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK, IT WAS ABOUT 50% BETTER. I ASSUMED THAT WAS AS GOOD AS IT GETS SINCE JEEP DOESN'T REALLY FIX ANYTHING. AS OF THE LAST WEEK OR SO THE CAR IS NOW WORSE THAN WHEN I TOOK IT IN. IT HARD SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR THEN IT HARD SHIFTS DOWN FROM 3RD TO 2ND WHEN STOPPED AND THEN STUTTERS FORWARD. THE SHIFTING IS ERRATIC AND WHEN STOPPING AND THEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JUST HESITATES LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET HIT BY ANOTHER CAR SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS A LIABILITY NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT TO OTHER PEOPLE. IT HESITATES ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ACCELERATING AND LEFT ME IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS STUCK BETWEEN TWO SEMI TRUCKS AND THE CAR BASICALLY STALLED OUT. IT SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN OR ON THE ROAD. IM GOING TO BE KILLED IN THE CAR. I DO NOT TRUST THAT JEEP KNOWS HOW TO FIX THE CAR OR EVEN HAS A FIX FOR THE ISSUE AT THIS POINT. IVE DONE RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE GIVEN JEEP SEVERAL CHANCES TO MAKE THE SITUATION RIGHT AND NOW I;M DONE DEALING WITH IT. NOW ITS A MATTER OF HOW MUCH VALUE JEEP PUTS ON A HUMAN LIFE. HOW MANY MORE LAWSUITS WILL JEEP HAVE BECAUSE OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.
