2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Jan 21, 2022 · Electrical · MO

Delamination of the touch screen control panel. Corner began with a small air bubble and proceeded to spread across the top and towards the bottom along the edge. Causes "phantom touches". Most common symptom is repeatedly asking for date/time input regardless if you try to close it out. It will beep repeatedly. One time the system reset itself while driving after a session of these "phantom touches". This system controls literally everything and can be very distracting to the driver while driving. Even with the 5k gold dealer warranty this is not covered. Chrysler was zero help. I see many complaints of the same exact description online. We have had this vehicle for 8 months and it's already an issue every few months. Now we are expected to shell out $1,500 for a new head unit. Not what we expected for $30k+. -ac compressor replacement (Dealer installed sterling wheel crooked doing this job and had to hold it an additional 30 hours.) -screen delamination -squeaking driverside window

Have owned the vehicle for a little more than a year. Three times I've heard gear grinding when I put the vehicle in reverse, I immediately put my foot on the brake put the vehicle back into park waited a few seconds with my foot on the brake before putting the vehicle in reverse again. Took the vehicle to the dealership to be looked at (checked out) but because they couldn't get the vehicle to grind gears in reverse they said there was nothing they could do and had me pick up my vehicle. Also while driving it on one occasion I smelled a smell of electrical burning. Unknown where it is coming from on my vehicle. I'm getting fearful of driving it.

When starting the vehicle, it made a grinding sound. Then a dashboard message popped up stating that the air suspension needed servicing immediately. This same message appeared every time we started the car. In addition, while driving, another dashboard message popped up instructing to reduce speed to maintain proper vehicle height.

This SUV has the energy efficient shutdown/restart feature. After being stopped at a traffic light, I re-engaged the engine/transmission by lifting my foot off of the brake and began pressing the accelerator. There was very little power to accelerate, you could hear the grinding and pulling of the engine/transmission but only a little power. I put on the emergency hazard lights, looked around the dash for messages and verified that the gear was indeed in drive. I continued to press the accelerator to move the truck out of traffic. I made it to a driveway where I could pull off of the main street and not block the morning rush hour traffic. I put the truck in park, looked at everything again (no warnings or error messages) and put the truck in gear and it moved as it was supposed to do. I made it back to the street, went a short distance (less than 2 blocks), started to go up a small hill and the no power issue happened again. I was less than a block away from my destination, so I s-l-o-w-l-y made it to the top of the hill. I parked in my office's garage, reported to work and contemplated what to do. I have had this truck since the end of june and it has only 1,100 miles. I will be dropping it off/towing it in to the dealer repair shop tomorrow. This is dangerous and not acceptable jeep!

Scrapping/grinding coming from the wheels. Sounds like the disc rotor dust shield is rubbing against the rotor. I heard this is a known issue. Let's see what the service department says.
