Tire pressure monitoring system requires tire pressure adjustment about every two weeks because of low pressure in one or more wheels. Dealer either cannot or does not want to fix it but hopes for a jeep advisory or recall. Owner believes electronic connections in wheels are faulty and one or more leaks air. Constant leakage of air represents a potential driving hazard. After 12 flash updates to electronic systems and past failure of electronic transmission control system to shift out of park, it is clear that all electronic control systems without redundancy represent life threatening potential failures in all sytems. When such failure occur, owners will be unable to prove what really happened. The perfect crime!
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee wheels complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle was in a level parking lot with a boat and trailer attached. Vehicle was in park configuration with engine running. Vehicle was left unattended for about 1 minute and it rolled about 100 feet, through the parking lot and across a road and down a levee where it hit a tree on the left front side. The driver was not in the vehicle when it hit the tree. The california highway patrol arrived at the scene and there was no citation issued. There was no other property damage other than to the vehicle and the boat trailer. The insurance company paid for the damage to the vehicle less the deductible.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 35 MPH, there was an abnormal noise coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. This failure recurred twice while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was a rock in the tire. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.
After purchasing the vehicle I started the first leg of a 2000 mile road trip comprising of highway and winding rural roads. During a winding mountainous section of the journey I started to smell something I thought to be possibly a fbrush fire or something burning in the locale I was driving through. Later during another section of stop and go driving I started to smell it again, and noticed some brake fade as well. For the remainder of this leg of the trip I used the paddle shifters to reduce my brake use. Upon a fuel stop before ending the day's travel, I noticed a thick layer of grease coating the inside of the front left wheel. I did a internet search to see if this was a known issue to find several other owners have had the same issue. I have scheduled an appointment at a jeep dealer for service. Hopefully jeep can remedy this seemingly common problem.
I was driving on the highway in rush hour traffic when the car suddenly accelerated and side swiped a school bus. The car went out of control and was unable to be stopped, crashing into a concrete media on the left side of the highway before spinning across three lanes of traffic and crashing into the concrete barrier on the right side of the highway and finally stopping. The car was totaled - the entire frame was twisted, all four tires were destroyed, the bumper was hanging off. There was severe damage to the entire car - not one corner or area of the car was not dented, dinged or scraped. None of the air bags deployed (despite the violent nature of the crash). I walked away from the accident but had a herniated disc in my back and an injury to the rotator cuff in my right arm and missed a significant amount of time from work while recovering.
The cv boot on both front wheels has come off, spreading axle grease all over the brakes and other parts of the axle. The dealer service dept noted that jeep is having issues with these. He is ordering parts.
After only a few days of ownership, I noticed my front wheels were covered with grease on the inside. I took it to the dealer and the service man was surprised when he noticed my cv boots were completely missing on both the left and right front wheels. Dealer replaced both shaft axles. There are many other people who have experienced this same issue. You can read about it more at this website link: http://www.jeepgarage.org/f73/grease-in-both-front-wheels-normal-73976.html.
Observed grease splattered on the inside of both front wheels. Took vehicle to the dealership where they determined the car needed to have its axles replaced. Believe both cv boots failed spilling grease onto wheels and axles.
Failed cv boot on front drivers side wheel leading to grease expulsion throughout wheel...possibly in brake pad as well on brand new jeep grand cherokee with 220 miles.
Cv boots are not properly secured resulting in the exposure of cv shaft to the elements and loss of grease. Notified rick hendrick jeep in charleston, sc. The part is on backorder and was instructed to continue to drive the vehicle until replacement shaft arrived.
I have a 5 day old car and the cv boot on the front tire has come off, spreading axle grease all over the brakes and other parts of the axle. The dealer service rep says it is unsafe. Apparently, dozens of people with grand cherokees built in march and april of this year have this same issue as evidenced on the jeep garage forum (contains pics and descriptions): http://www.jeepgarage.org/f73/grease-in-both-front-wheels-normal-73976.html
