2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 69, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I bought this jeep on the 31st of december. Only 10 days into having it the oil started leaking. I took it to a repair shop and he advised me that it was leaking from the oil filter and housing along with the oil cooler. He advised me that this is a ongoing issue with these jeeps. This would not be a easy fix as the intake manifold along with the heater hoses, filter housing/oil cooler assembly would all have to be removed.
I was involved in a intersection collision where another vehicle didn't stop and drove in front of my 2014 jeep grand cherokee. I collided with the drivers door to the rear of the vehicle at a 20 MPH speed. The other vehicles air bags deployed. My jeep sustained front damage a cracked hood, grill, from bumper torn off I broke my right foot. My air bags didn't deploy on the impact and I didn't feel or see a sensor emergency braking
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the automatic emergency braking warning light illuminated. The contact stated that there was no vehicle nearby. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000.
When driving highway speeds steering and maintaining control very hard. Computer keeps changing does not stay when set, has to be constantly reset. When parked and running, or over night on restart. When moving also seen things change once.
Vehicle completely shuts off while driving! While driving on a highway and down a mountain, also when driving on a local street after it had been in dealership for repairs. Is currently again at dealer service and they have said it needs a new computer. This a very frightening and dangerous experience
About two months ago my suspension started to act up. Now my suspension is stuck completely at the lowest point. The engine has a ticking sound and now it doesnt run right.
Computer screen goes blank while car is hot, can not see anything, back camera stops working cant see anything on screen
Electrical stops working, software malfunctions of computer. Shuts off or shows service for 911 phone. Power steering doesn't work and brakes are hard and flutter.
My jeep started with an error 'service shifter' on the control panel shortly after that all the codes started popping up. Steering wheel, tire pressure, etc. I took it to the dealership they have replaced the body control module but unfortunately the codes have not cleared. I've had this vehicle for only two years the service department at the dealership can not pinpoint the problem on it.
The transmission would disengage when driving in the mountains causing sever deceleration almost killed me in traffic. The suspensions front and rear are absolutely horrendous. Suspensions makes loud screeching noises. Rear suspension is almost non existent. Rear suspension bounces sideways or rolls more sideways while driving over bumps on highway. Steering is loose. And electrion control issues as well
There is a recall on ESC module for 2014 cherokees built in 2013. My jeep meets this criteria and my ESC light is on. When I contact jeep they say this is not a recall for my vehicle. Even though there are published articles stating exact issue on my model and year vehicle. To repair is almost 1k. Jeep says fix and they may reimburse later. This is unacceptable as it is a known recall on like vehicles. Nothing happened to cause the light to go on. Vehicle was operating normal and light came on.on dash.
While driving on the roadway and highway my vehicle will randomly kick itself into neutral and will kill the engine with no sudden warning and or warning lights that there is a problem. The battery will remain on but the engine is off. This has happened on 3 separate occasions since I purchased the vehicle in 2015 more recently this issue began in 2019. After attempting to restart the vehicle it will attempt to turn over the engine but will not start, leaving me stranded in the middle the the roadway. 50/50% chance the engine light will turn on and unknown error. The only way I have been able to move the vehicle is to remove the battery cable and let it sit for 30 minutes resetting the electrical system. Though this is a short term fix. I have contacted multiple jeep dealers in the area and everyone I have talked to has advised me they have never seen or heard of this problem. This is a safety concern loosing all power to my vehicle while driving on the roadway and highway. I fear that this will cause a greater problem to myself and the public if the issue is not fixed. I can see a catastrophe if the problem is not fixed. I took my vehicle into a jeep dealership to have the electrics recall problem fixed a few years ago when I was advised from jeep unknown exact date. This is a liability and lives will be hurt including myself if this problem is overseen. *dt
Vehicle experiences random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination, loss of speed display, and loss of ABS and ESC system functions. Sometimes vehicle shifts into 3rd gear, and does not respond to shift commands. This occurs randomly, sometimes right after start-up, sometimes after a few minutes of driving.
Service 4wd illuminated on the dash. Traction control and ABS lights lit up and cruise control disengaged while going down the road. The vehicle is now in the shop for an expected ABS module failure.
About three days ago the light came on and I ran a code end it say it 4 wheel dr. System service got it dynastic but it didn't go off been having trouble been having trouble with this jeep since I bought it into thousand 17 I think they sold me a lemon
I was driving my 2014 jeep grand cherokee when it shut off while I was driving 40 MPH luckily I was in a parking lot and could slow down to the shoulder where I was then pushed away from traffic they said it was due to a short in my tippin and my fuel pump went my truck was brought brand new and barely has 50,000 miles on it and over 2000 complaints for the same thing for faulty equipment put in the vehicles from 2005 to 2014 and chrysler does not want to be held accountable so they have not put a recall on it and it is an open lawsuit that I saw it cost me over $3000 to get this fixed and this could really have went a different way I could've been hit and killed chrysler needs to be held accountable but I guess they won't make a recall and less someone is killed
N58 my jeep did something weird on 4/21/2019 dash lights came on like ABS and traction control light was on in the dash but the push button light down below the heat buttons was also on. Also service 4 wheel drive was flashing on the dash along with the selector wheel on the left of the dash screen went to terrain mode all by it self.also on the screen it chimed 4 wheel drive unavailable. I was in drive and driving straight.
Noticed when I was on the freeway steering got really wobbly thought it was because I roateted my tires however popped my hood and notice my power steering reservoir was empty filled it up and than noticed green all over my driveway.
Collision detection initiates randomly with no hazards at interstate speeds (70 MPH). Applies brakes and warning. This has happened in traffic and has nearly resulted in a rear impact collision on multiple ocassions.
Vehicle was parked in a parking stall at the city park. I left the vechicle to pickup tools at the parks band shelter which was about 40 feet from the parked vechicle. I returned to parked location and the vechicle was gone. I found it about 20 feet away wedged up against the park shelters pillar with a bicycle wedged underneath the vechicle. The vechicle was stopped by brick column about 4' from the playground. 3 school age boys were mere seconds from being struck by the vechicle. The vechicle never turned off as when I exited the vechicle and put it into park, the vechicle didn't 'shift' into park as expected. The incident was caught on camera by the parks security camera. It's is terrifying to say the least. After the fact photos are included here as well.
I received an over the air update for my vehicle, which I began to install. The installation failed, and the next time I got in my car many things were wrong, some of which are a major safety concern to me. When I place the car in reverse the backup camera should come up and the mirrors automatically redirect downwards. Since attempting to install this update, sometimes these things don't happen at all, or have a long delay (others it works as it should). Other times, the backup camera and mirrors will stay on as if I am still in reverse well after I begin driving the vehicle, which makes it impossible for me to use the side mirrors and is very distracting and dizzying seeing the backup camera while driving. Additionally, the GPS has been impacted and often has me on a different road and announces a speed limit incorrectly. I can not find a way to stop the voice from announcing the speed limit while I'm driving. In addition, my bluetooth, presets and USB connection all stopped working. Again, all of this was working 100% until this update that was sent to my car. I believe the fact that this update was sent to my car unsolicited and resulted in these issues with the backup camera, mirrors, GPS and speed limit confusion are all safety concerns and seem like something that would be worth reviewing for a potential recall. Fyi, I did take this to the dealership and was told my only solution was to completely replace the radio and computer at an out of pocket cost of $2,400.
This incident regards the t-36 recall issued by fiat/chrysler, which involves 2012-2014 jeep grand cherokees (among others), and "affects vehicles equipped with electro-hydraulic power steering systems, 5.7l or 3.6l engines, and 160, 180, or 220 amp alternators. In those vehicles, the federal safety agency says that the alternator may fail without warning." during june 2018, my 2014 jeep grand cherokee (summit trim), experienced sudden alternator failure while in motion on a highway. The alternator started to smoke, and by the time I had reached my destination, there was grey smoke barreling out of the hood of my car and the battery was completely dead. The jeep had to be towed to a nearby dealership for repairs. In addition to the alternator and battery replacment, the tensioner, idler and serpentine belt had to be replaced due to undue strain placed on them by the alternator failure. The incident that occurred matches the description of the t-36 recall. Additionally, the year, make, engine size, and amperage of the alternator all match the description given in the t-36 recall. However, the VIN number for my particular jeep did not appear under the recall, and therefore, jeep/chrysler would not repair my jeep under that particular recall. They did fix the jeep, but at my cost (the owner). I 100% believe this an oversight by jeep/chrysler (or maybe the federal safety agency) and should be remedied immediately. I do believe there are other jeep owners that are unaware of this issue, due to the lack of notification by jeep/chrysler, and will experience the same issue, which could cause an accident and lead to injury. Please review the details of my jeep VIN and why it was not included in the t-36 recall. If this happened to my jeep, then I imagine it will happen to others. Fortunately, I was not injured, but others could be injured who are unaware of this issue. Please contact me with any questions.
Had the brake booster recall replaced less than week ago now traction stability warning light along with brake light coming on and staying on when turning curve downhill. On highway speed down steep incline engaging brakes front brakes vibrate yet dealer said breaks ok.
Mfg 4/1/2013, replaced bcm / 4/27/2016 after engine would not turn off. Several months later engine would not turn off. Replaced trans valve. On 5/3/2018 the bcm short circuited and alternator burned while vehicle was parked leaving strong smoke and burnt smell in cabin. Vehicle has 56,000 miles and has had bcm replaced twice in 23 months. No diagnoses availed as to why vehicle will not shut off on occasion. All routine maintenance and recalls are current.
The total integrated power module has begun to fail resulting in delayed or no engine turnover when ignition button is pushed while parked (although remote start on key fob works fine, battery is fine and starter is fine), driver seat moving on its own while driving on highway, headlights failing at night while driving on suburban streets, etc.
Chrysler (fca us llc) recall t36 / the federal safety agency 17v‑435 incident summary on 2018-01-21, my 2104 jeep grand cherokee stalled while traveling at approximately 65mph. A crash was avoided, but the situation was highly dangerous to passengers and other drivers on the road. This incident exhibited all the symptoms and warnings from chrysler (fca us llc) recall t36 / the federal safety agency 17v‑435. (summarized below) the vehicle lost power and stalled while driving on the highway. Just prior to the stall, warnings briefly flashed in the instrument control panel. Warnings included; battery saver mode, ABS system failure, suspension failure. All electronics in the vehicle exhibited bizarre behavior and could not be controlled. Additionally the speedometer continually recycled and the wipers turned on with no intervention. Complete loss of power steering and braking occurred. After the stall completed and the vehicle was stopped, a loud high-pitched ticking noise came from the engine compartment. Additionally, a pungent burning smell and smoke came from the engine compartment. The vehicle was completely disabled and unresponsive and was towed to a jeep dealership on 2018-01-21. A claim was filled with fca us llc recall department on 2018-01-23. As of 2018-01-26, the dealer is still waiting for fca us llc recall department to respond. As of 2018-01-26, the parts are still not yet available for this recall. T36 / the federal safety agency 17v‑435 recall summary 'the alternator on your vehicle may experience diode thermal fatigue failure due to cyclical loads induced by ehps. When the diodes fail, the alternator will no longer supply electrical energy to the vehicle and may lead to a vehicle stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. Failed diodes may also develop a resistive short circuit that can result in heat, smoke and/or fire originating within the alternator.'
Recall on jeep alternator and brake booster water shield. My complaint is the length of time in getting the parts. The alternator went out and it has been sitting at the dealership for 11 days now and parts are still not released from chrysler. They will not give me a rental. What is a person to do? Except pay 800$ and then fight chrysler to get my money back.
I was driving down my neighborhood street when the stability control indicator starting chiming that the system was turned off. My windshield wipers then turned on automatically and would not shut off, the headlight indicator turned as well. When I arrived home I let the jeep sit for a little while until I restarted it. The same things happened except this time the ABS brakes warning lighted up as well as the check engine light.
My girlfriend was traveling 60 miles per hour down interstate 167 outside of puyallup, washington on monday, december 5, 2016. Winter had finally arrived with a light snow and icy roads. While driving down the freeway the dashboard illuminated and the speedometer stopped responding. We have a very important person in my life, a mom, and a step-mom, that is traveling at the rated speed limit in potentially icy conditions and we have lost all systems to include air suspension, airbag system, anti-lock braking system (ABS) , electronic braking system (ebs), traction control.
