From a stop, right turn, accel towards planned speed of 60. At app. 50mph approaching guardrails then bridge the vehicle 'locks up' (no screeching brakes), thought 'trans' (previous unresolved problems), engine sputters, about to die, speed has dropped 30mph, (assume no brake lights). Quick decision (rails 75'), get to shoulder. Small shoulder, deep ditch with a steep downhill pitch to the river. Just as I was about to enact the decision the engine "roars" to life and hits 65mph before I can react and apply the brakes mid-bridge. The whole incident only took seconds, maybe 7 to 10. Took it, once again, to blevins motors, potsdam ny and once again was told that their diagnostic computer saw no abnormalities. This time I asked for a print out of said report and was told there was no such thing as a 'print out'. I am a 100% disabled vet with a head injury and ptsd. This the salesman was notified of the first thing. I did not mention the ptsd as it had always been my problem and explosive anger was never present. The "injury" was after months of lies and 'dirty dealing' from the start that they finally 'beat a path' in my brain to the anger part. It LED to many visits with my va psychologist, loss of friends as I seemed abnormally consumed with my ill-treatment by blevins, which I was, and total frustration that I had no recourse via the law because I could "blow" at the least slight. I have to a great degree put the 'ptsd' back in its box, but the damage to what was an already slowly slipping brain that I had accepted, it took a big hit damage wise. I no longer check e'mail.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee fuel system complaints
Page 7 of 7: complaints 161 to 181 of 181, newest first, as owners wrote them.
It appear def system and cat converter not properly designed vehicle in 3 times for same failure code p20ee all issues relate to emissions and sensors there's a pump and a screen or two but clogs crystallization are what cases vehicle to initiate a countdown timer til engine stops my vehicle in for repair now this is issue for diesel vehicles only I am also on jeep website or more so forums everyone seems to have this problem.
The jeep grand cherokee overland (may be other models) has a feature identified as eco. It is actually a dash button that must be manually overridden each time the car is started. The function is (I suppose) a fuel saving mode, however myself and many others in the jeep blogs have a serious issue in that the car reacts in a sluggish mode when pulling into traffic and shifts in a manner not normally associated with smooth driving as the shift points are changed from what one would consider normal. It appears to inject more air, less fuel into the firing process producing the sluggish driving experience. I and others have sought relief from this ( opt out function) from dealers, to no avail. Many drivers, as have I, have express fear of a potential collision when this feature is engaged. There appears to be a disconnect between the epa, seeking improved economy and the highway safety board seeking to reduce accidents. At the very least this feature should be modified to be an "opt in" feature to be possibly utilized in highway conditions not in stop and go and merging traffic.
In less than a year of ownership my car started with the problems. On 8/19/14 the car idles but it will not start. Towed it to midway jeep and chrysler the car was returned to me running but was told they would be ordering a tipm part which is part of a recall. On 9/4/14 I came back and the tipm was replaced. On 12/17/14 the same issue occurred again and another tipm was replaced. It is now 2/27/15 and I am experiencing the same problem. The car has been towed again. This is a lemon.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep grand cherokee. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v643000 (air bags, seat belts); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact was concerned that the air bag would deploy in his face. The vehicle burned oil continuously and there was blue fumes coming from the rear of the vehicle. In addition, the horn sounded and the hood latch failed. The dealer repaired the vehicle. The brake master cylinder protective plate was repaired under the federal safety agency campaign notification p67. The fuel door mechanism was fractured and the dealer repaired the vehicle. The dip stick was not replaced. A grinder was marked for a new factory dip stick. The contact also stated that the dealer placed too much oil in the vehicle. When the vehicle was new with less than 200 miles, the instrument cluster failed and the contact could not see how fast the vehicle was driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed a short circuit in the sun visor wiring. The vehicle was repaired. The contact also stated that the locks unlocked on their own. When the button was pushed on the key fob to open the rear tailgate, it would not respond. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 11,351.
On separate occasions vehicle had issue shifting from 1st to 2nd gear lurching forward even when at a stop and my foot was on the break. The vehicle also had three issues with the def sensors which were worked on or replaced three separate times. Since the last fixed was just done on or approximately around february 1st , I will be waiting to see if the issue continues. The latest issue is has something to do with the catalyst. It's having an issue sensing that the vehicle is creating enough heat to burn off by product. It is slated to be replaced within two weeks. I have been notifying jeep about all of these problems. I have a case manager working on the problems. I have read several sites that show there is an issue with an exposed def sensor which jeep is not acknowledging. It is the new eco-diesel engine.
I have a 2014 jeep grand cherokee diesel. Check engine light came on... Took to dealer. They flashed it . Check engine light came on again. This time the car gave me a warning that it would go into limp mode in 150 miles. Took to dealer. It is parked they say its the pre-catalytic converter and it needs to be replaced. No time line on getting part or vehicle back. This limp mode is a major danger. The service manager said there were 46 "parked" jeeps waiting for the part. I regularly take my jeep into the outdoors I could be stranded if the jeep went into limp mode putting me in a dangerous situation.
2014 jeep grand cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle repairs. *tgw the dealer informed the consumer, the part was not available, to perform the recall. The consumer stated there was a thumping noise coming the gas tank. The part had to be ordered.
On friday, october 31, 2014, less than one week after taking delivery of the car (it was new),I was unable to pump gasoline into the fuel tank. Attempts to pump gas directly from pumps at a couple different gas stations (and one time attempting to use the "funnel" provided for filling from a gas can) resulted in the fuel filler neck backing up, dumping fuel on the side of the car and my hand. My car dealer has informed me that they intend to replace the fuel tank to resolve the problem.. The automobile has a cap-less gas filler system. The car was delivered new with a full tank of gas so it appears to have developed the problem after delivery.
The vehicle, a jeep gc with v6 turbo diesel, just died while on the freeway and had to be towed. We tried to start it about 10 times over the next 36 hours without success. Then it did start and drove ok for about an hour and a half on the highway and then died immediately while driving 75 MPH. It was towed to a chrysler dealer where they said they replaced the fuel pump.
Sudden shutdown of eco-diesel with fuel still present in tank, dealer identified faulty fuel tank pump. No replacement part available, no estimated time frame for available replacement. Less than 3000 miles on car. Jeep tech in detroit knew of problem indicating that others have reported similar events. Jeep recommendation is keep fuel level above 1/2 tank with no permanent solution or fix available at this time.
Pressed on gas pedal to go across intersection and car did not go, then all of a sudden the car lunged out into traffic and hit two other cars in the intersection.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep grand cherokee. The contact received notification for the federal safety agency campaign id number: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure). The contact stated that the repair was not taken care of in a reasonable amount of time. The dealer indicated that the part was not available. The contact had not experienced a failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.
While driving up a grade at 50 MPH, vehicle began to shake/shudder/vibrate. I had to tramp the accelerator to engage the transmission to work through the situation. This has happened at least a dozen times. Dealer has not been able to replicate the condition. The catalytic converter is being replaced on 7/16. I do not know if this is the cause of the problem.
The vehicle does not reliably select the park position and in general it is very awkward to select any gear without putting into the wrong gear, reverse for forward, neutral for reverse, etc , . On multiple occasions after the vehicle was apparently put in park it suddenly rolled away in reverse gear. It was then very difficult to select the park position to stop the vehicle . The sudden movement in reverse almost caused the vehicle to hit another car. Problem has occurred on at least five occasions.
Hit a puddle at approximately 50 MPH and shortly after the check engine light illuminated and service def system - see dealer message appeared on dash. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and told the def (diesel exhaust fluid) injector needed to be replaced. The vehicle could not be driven until it was repaired.

I have the new ecodiesel!!! Yes this is an awesome vehicle but... After filing the vehicle up for the first time the issue was noticed while pulling the fuel nozzle from the vehicles fuel neck. The capless green fuel neck came separated from the vehicle. Once the car was turned back on the def service warning comes on the dash. This is with less than 300 miles!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel sprayed from the filler neck. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000. Updated 12/30/13*cn the consumer stated when filling the gas tank, the nozzle would not shut off.
After taking my new jeep into dealer because the "check engine" light came on, I was told that there were 16 stored codes but they could find no problem and the computer was reset. Two days later the check engine light again came on. I took back to the dealership and was told "there is a leak in the fuel tube" we have to replace it but we will have to order the part; we don't have it in stock. 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.
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.
