2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee driver assistance problems

Filed Mar 22, 2026 · Airbags, Driver assistance · NE · crash · 1 injury

I hit a deer at 65 mph, causing significant damage to my vehicle, $7,300+ to the front end. I have a safety beacon that detected the accident through my insurance, that detected the severity of the impact, resulting in an immediate call for safety to check on me. My airbags did not deploy, but there was a nasty aroma of sulfur during the impact. My minor children were secured safely in the vehicle, as well as myself. I, the driver of the car hit my head very hard on the steering wheel and window during impact, causing whiplash- neck pain, and reoccurring migraines still to this day 3-21-2026. Although I didn't receive medical attention it has been made known that I hit my head. This would've been avoided had my airbags deployed. I assume there may have been a malfunction and had this been a more serious incident, not only would my life be at stake, but most importantly my children. This is unacceptable for safety purposes.

My Electronic Stability Control, Cruise Control and Traction Control all went offline without any notice. Dealership can not figure out what to do. This is a huge issue in my opinion because of the inability to keep the car straight when hitting a pothole or any bumps in the road. the vehicle does not stay in a straight line. I have reported the problem to the dealership with no help. It hasn't caused a wreck yet, but I'm afraid I'm just postponing the inevitable.

On may 3rd 2020 driving on highway the accelerator sensor went off. Heard a loud pop. Vehicle lost power and speed declined from 55 to 30. I floored it and the car would not reach speed of 55 MPH. I had no cell service and was 45 miles from even a town. Limped the car to dealer and left there. This is the 3rd time this has happened and the dealer tells me they can't get it to repeat. Vehicle is currently at the dealership. I have called and left a message and have heard nothing.

Vehicle with 50,000 miles was stopped at red light after exiting the interstate, check engine light came on, continued to drive then warning sounds and dashboard lights started flickering and almost every service alarm came on, service ABS, service stability system, service shifter, then engine had a drag noise as if in lower gear. I stopped and attempted to place in park but could not shift into park.. I killed the engine, placed in park and restarted and continued with the low drag noise and dashboard continued to flicker and car felt as though it would stall, when arrived to parking lot, could not shift into reverse. This is very dangerous as I felt vehicle would lurch forward and I had notcontrol.

The auto start/stop feature does not properly function causing the car to shut off when we're at a full stop. I have to switch gear to park then re-start the car. The hood sensor doesn't register even if it's completely closed . The warning light on the dashboard will say it's open even when it's not.

When I was driving on fwy 4 the truck wipers suddenly start working and feel like the truck lost power and kind of drive hard I tried turn off wipers but panel turn on check engine light, stability control inoperable, warning light, anti slip. So I scanned with module fixd and shows code u0212 lost comm with scm. So I towed to the dealer and obviously they said they have to keep the truck overnight cause they never seen something like that. When for several years jeep have this problem. Specifically with the (sccm). I feel they most be responsible for all my expenses.

Call while being stopped changes height at stop and go lights and when being parked or started without my intervention. I took it for repair they found a faulty air compressor but jeep instructed dealer not to fix.
