My car has been having symptoms of a recall associated with other 2015 Jeep grand Cherokee - around electronic braking system , something with the brake booster. The brake light comes on. It has been for years. Mechanic couldn’t figure it out and finally mentioned it is likely from a recall. But the recall is not vin specific so I can’t get it fixed fully covered by my dealer. Can you please review and assign the recall to my vin? Thank you

When raining the water will leak throug the sunroof or headliner not sure where it comes through but it comes from 2 places one hitting the arm rest / middle console which caused the terrain selection to go out and im worried it will cause the screen or something else to go out and catch on fire as I read it is common with these problems , when I purchased the vehicle as well they said it was just a frozen trunk gate spring but once I looked up the problem happening it is said to cause the gate to go out
After an oil change, my jeep starting ticking. I've read of several recalls. My jeep is having all 10 of the recall issues.
I have had several incidents where the car was not responding properly such as fob key unlocking car, even with brand new battery, I’d have to unlock car manually but alarm would go off for 10min+ then randomly stop and car would allow me turn it on. Sunroof wouldn’t work properly and get stuck. One night ( about 8/12) car lights turn on and off and power gate lift opens randomly and battery catches fire which is extreme danger. Someone was able to put it out in time. This is a fairly new battery. Car has been in dealership for about 3 weeks now and I have been told that the body control module failed causing non stop current to the battery causing it to explode. I am now being charged $1600~ for repair/ parts.
Car does not accelerate on a hill readily. Difficult to get it to move as necessary at times.
I had a warning code of service electronic throttle. It then started to regenerate and we took it to Lithia Jeep to fix EGR recall. They needed to replace engine intake because it caught fire. Several months later the car broke down while driving, sputtering, knocking, squealing. Upon inspection, metal flakes found in oil. Suspected HPFP sucked into engine causing havoc. The HPFP is an open recall but no available replacement parts. I'm currently out of a vehicle. I've contacted Jeep but haven't heard a reply
USB 12V connector caught fire and melted the panel while car was off Yes it is available for inspection upon request If it would have happened while driving it would’ve put all passengers at risk It has not been confirmed by a dealer It hasn’t been inspected by mfg. insurance or police. There were no warning lamps, symptoms or msg. prior to the failure this happened 7/31/2023 I was unloading my groceries from the back when I came back out to get more bags, I noticed that the cabin was full of smoke. I’m trying to get an estimate to replace it so I can file a claim with my insurance company.
Blinker switch will not go back after making Right hand turns
While driving vehicle shuts off unexpectedly, with steering wheel losing power steering. It will then have trouble starting again. Turning on and off by itself. It will then work just fine after 15-20 minutes.. It has been doing this every few months for a couple years now. I have taken to dealer a couple times, and they have had me change battery initially. But can’t give me a reason why it keep happening after that. Most recently, once I was able to work again after it had shit off on me while driving, it would then not shut off. I could not turn the car off. I took to dealer, and eventually it turned off. It is at dealer currently at time of this writing.
We were driving and we heard a chime and nothing showed on the display panel. Then we went thru the displays and saw a message regarding the ACC something about manual something. Then we lost power. Since we were on the highway We turned the truck off and started it again to potentially reset. We drove a couple blocks to exit the highway and lost power again. The we got out of the vehicle and smelled smoke. We peaked under the hood and saw fire. We all got out, grabbed our stuff and then the fire spread and engulfed the truck. Total loss.

The computer/screen died disabling most of the essential controls/functions of the vehicle including: hands free calling, control of the temperature/air flow, park assist/safety options, security features. This issue also disabled the ability to control other functions such as the windshield wipers and drained the battery until it died. The battery had to be recharged and then after that any time I turned the car off I had to unplug the battery so that it wouldn’t be drained.
The instrument cluster stopped working and is completely blacked out. There was no warnings that it was going to happen. It just stopped working and no I do not need a new fuse. It's just a bad cluster

I can hear My Jeep clicking into every gear and making a ticking noise this is because of the faulty shifter in these jeeps. Also the computer isn’t working correctly software is to old to update.
My 2015 Grand Cherokee has a Service Shifter warning that has come on and causes the transmission to jump while driving. I've taken this problem to the dealership and was initially charged for a new shifter and wiring harness. Two weeks later the problem returned. I took the car back again and was told the system wasn't reset. Two weeks later problem returned. Took it back to dealership and was charged to reset two more codes. Two weeks later the problem returned. Took it back to the dealership and was told power steering pump had leak and was traveling to the area where the sensor was causing it to go off. Paid for more repairs and now 4 days later the service shifter light is back on and more frequently than before. This issue nor should any issue cause someone to continuously miss work to deal with a problem that has caused at least one fatality that's well known about. Nor should it cause an expense every time the vehicle is brought in. This is a problem that could cause serious harm if not addressed and if the problem cannot be addressed then at the very least someone should be willing to say so instead of grasping at straws trying to fix an unfixable problem.
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving while the temperature was at 25 degrees, the driver's seat and steering wheel heating features were engaged. While driving in cold weather, the battery save mode was displayed. The contact was unable to turn off the features and had to turn off the vehicle, open doors, and restart the vehicle. The contact stated that several attempts were needed to disengage the features. The local dealer was contacted but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.
Without warning the vehicle will not start, and displays that the TPMS system needs service, and that a rear turn signal light is out. The engine will attempt to turn over but will not start the vehicle. This has happened multiple times under 90,000 miles. On more than one occasion, after about a day of not starting, the vehicle will start again, after no fix action was taken.
2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee drivers side heated seat burned a nickel size hole through the seat, burned a hole through my girlfriends sweatshirt and burned her skin. Thank god she was able to maintain her composure and pull over to a parking lot and get out. What if she had jerked the wheel (as it startled her) and caused a crash? What if she was on the highway?? What if the vehicle started on fire?? The vehicle is currently at the dealership and being inspected. There were no warning lamps or other symptoms.
Driving my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, in Oct 2021 and this weekend, slipped into neutral while driving on the highway at 50+ mph and wouldnt shift back into drive. displaying the message 'VEHICLE SPEED IS TOO HIGH TO SHIFT' while at full stop Stop sign Both times trying to restart it, the engine would rev violently and shut off, only to restart after a few minutes and drive as normal. Both times in high moving traffic, narrowly avoiding traffic. The 2nd time I was on the NY Triboro bridge and used road flares to alert traffic Called the dealer and they claimed to have never heard of this before. Couldnt find any issues or replicate the issue. attached are several issues of other drivers having the same issue and still @Jeepc laims no knowledge. Does someone have to die to fix this issue
Once the shifter was moved into "Drive" , the transmission would automatically swith it to "Park" that would not allow any movement! It happened on the same day to all three of us. Several hours later, the transmission seemed to work. Waiting for diagnostic service at Umansky Jeep in Charlottesville, VA. This shifter movement could potentially lead to an accident! We occasionally tow a trailer and risk to other motorists and us would be substanstial! Please initiate invastigation sincere there a multiple complainst related to transmission.
I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. While traveling down the highway at approximately 65mph, the entire dash began to blink in and out, all kinds of error symbols flashed, I lost power steering and the car switched itself in to neutral – this resulted in an accident. This car has been In and out of the shop for the past several months. Every time it looks like it fixed, the car’s computer seems to do as it pleases. I lose driving power, it switches itself in neutral or the dash throws error symbols. I am at a point where paying for constant ‘repairs’ and insurance is becoming way too costly. I do NOT feel safe riding with my family in this car!!!
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle indicated erroneously that the cruise control was activated. The contact stated that the cruise control light warning light was illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 18V332000 (Electrical System, Vehicle Speed Control) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.
On April 23rd at 9:28pm I was driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 on a highway at approximately 45mph when suddenly the transmission slipped to neutral without any human interference. I tried shifting it back to drive but the transmission did not respond. The Jeep lost momentum very quickly and came to a complete stop in the highway. As soon as it went to a complete stop it locked itself in parking position and l lost all ability to put it back to drive. I turned my blinkers and emergency lights on, but one minute later I got rear-ended by a car traveling at 50mph. My Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 got totaled and I was taken to the hospital in stable condition. I was in a bad collision due to the Jeep slipping into neutral and locking itself in parking. I lost ALL ability to control my Jeep. The jeep got towed to a safe location. Two weeks later, we needed to move the car to another area for the insurance inspection. The car turned on and moved, yet again when the car gained velocity, the gear slipped to neutral and again came to a complete stop it, locking the transmission in the parking position. I always took my car for regular maintenance and it was a very well kept Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015.
