On december 26, 2014 i was rear ended in my 2011 jeep grand cherokee as i was making a right turn onto my road. I was slowed down to approximately 10 mph or less as i was turning and got hit by a large pick-up truck. First of all, i am happy that my jeep tolerated the force from the rear end collision as well as it did, and it even took bouncing off a guide rail pretty well too; however, the safety feature in the…

Leather dashboard is separating from dashboard and may cause issue if airbag should deploy. This defect has been on the news. I filed a complaint with chrysler in 2016. Since then, i've made trips to the dealership only to have the person submitting pictures be terminated. Now chrysler will not respond to my requests to have this fixed. I've kept all communication. There's no way with the entire leather dash…

This past july, on an extremely hot afternoon, while driving on the highway, i noticed that the leather covering on the dashboard from window to glove box was lifting and wrinkling before my eyes.

Air Bags
The leather dash cover is coming loose from the underlying plastic. Effective deployment of the passenger side air bag could be affected. This is a problem chrysler has known about for years but will not address. It is a problem with the subcontractor not completing the vacuum process when applying the leather cover to the dash. This has occurred slowly over time until it has now become a hazard.

My husband was in an accident on a sunny morning with no precipitation or ice involved while driving in a 2011 jeep grand cherokee. He was not speeding or found responsible for this accident. A chrysler authorized body shop and the insurance company totaled the car based on the steering column, electrical system, the airbags, as well as the seat belts - which we found strange since we drove the car from the…

Jeep is unreliable turning on. Will crank and crank and crank, but never turn over. After 10 or so tries, will sometimes start. Other times, i have to leave it and try again later. Dealer says it is related to the tipm. Which is backordered, with no estimated ship date in sight. This part is also linked to my automatic brakes, airbags, electrical, etc. My car is still under warranty and the dealer refuses to grant…

The air bag light goes on sporadically/randomly for different amounts of time and then shuts off. When taken to jeep they found the error code for the air bag light turning on however didn't find any defects. So they reset the computer to clear the note that the air bag light had turned on. That lasted about 3 days and the air bag light came back on at a random time while driving. I will be returning back to jeep…
