    On march 4, 2018 my jeep was parked, in park, at the top of a driveway on a slight grade. By morning it had rolled down the driveway into a ravine, rolling twice. The tow truck driver confirmed it was in park. I now have $20,000 worth of damage without a needed safety check before repairs can be done, if that's even possible. No one can explain to me how a vehicle, in park, can roll down a hill? Not the tow truck…

    We took our vehicle in for routine service and were informed that we needed an oil cooler as well as a radiator. The estimated cost to repair is $1300.00. The vehicle is not very old for this type of issue.

    I have owned 5 jeep cherokees and this has to be a lemon.i purchases it new. I have had many many recalls, most major. Recently i heard water splashing under the passenger seat, which resulted in water coming into the passenger side flooding the carpet. I was told that the box holding the battery was where the water was located. They have been working on it for two days and can not find where the water is entering.…

    The dashboard of the car has developed waves in the leather covering. It is unclear if the glue has loosened, the leather material went bad, the original installation was poor, or something completely different happened. I addressed this with the dealership but they blew me off. They claim it was cosmetic and not covered with my extended warranty. Soon the dashboard defect might effect the sensor on the dashboard if…

    Blind spot monitoring goes out every day. The amount of time from starting the vehicle to when it stops working varies, from immediately after starting the car to as much as 30 minutes after. There doesn't appear to by any specific scenario causing it.

    The sunroof on my 2014 jeep grande cherokee srt spontaneously exploded as i was driving 70mph on interstate 5 in oregon. Traffic was minimal at 3:45 pm. It was 54 degrees outside and the weather was clear. It had rained earlier in the day. The explosion sounded like a gunshot blast in my ear. It was very scary and extremely dangerous. There was absolutely no warning, no cracks, no leaks. I did have the automatic…

    The active head rest for my 2014 jeep grand cherokee had spontaneously deployed while parked in my garage. I had taken it to the dealer for repair and i was told the plastic clips were broken and it couldn't be reset and the head rest needed to be replaced at my expense. Apparently this is not a vehicle recall issue but possibly should be looked into as one. I have followed up this type of issue on the internet and…

    I have taken my jeep to the dealership 4 times already. I have only owned it for 3 months. About a month of that i haven't driven it. Because its been in the shop for so long. It has a problem where it shifts really hard from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th. It moves the car forward then jerks it back really hard, like you're getting hit from behind. Its scary especially when there are small children in the car. I had…

    The touch screen panel for my radio goes out and does not allow the radio to play while driving and when first started. Sometimes my bluetooth doesn't connect at all. Three months after my warranty expired the sirius radio stopped working and i was forced to cancel my subscription. The stations came up but nothing would come out of the speakers when i would select the buttons. Took it to the dealership and they told…

    When i tried to shut the engine off, the ignition button fell into the dashboard. I was able to reach into the dashboard and press the button switch to start and stop the engine. The dealer claimed it was the owners' fault because "the button was pushed too hard" and a replacement holding ring (not covered under the extended warranty) ended up costing $250 plus tax.

    I purchased my used 2014 jeep grand cherokee from jt's chrysler & jeep in lexington, sc on may 27th, 2017. Sometime a few weeks later in june, we started having issues with our radio and touch screen panel. It did an automatic update by itself (screen said to keep vehicle running for 15 mins to complete) and now it will not save any presets that we try and save to it. The volume to the radio works fine some days,…

    There have been more recalls than i can count, but recently i was driving it and the alternator (which was recalled) when out in the middle of driving and i had immediately pull over and lost control of the car. I've had another recent recall not the shifter and my stereo randomly went black, allowing no control over the vehicle settings or a/c. This car is a lemon!

    The air conditioning went out on my 2014 jeep grand cherokee. Apparently this is a common problem with these vehicles. The dealer's service writer immediately told me that 85% of the time when the a/c goes out in this vehicle it's the evaporator inside the car behind the dash. Upon further examination by the repair technician that's what needed to be replaced. I asked if they replace the evaporator with the same…

    I bought the vehicle nearly 2 years ago and it has had this problem intermittently. At least once a week, the radio/phone/navigation panel will not start when the car does. So i have no heat or air conditioning, no back up camera, no radio, no handsfree phone. This situation usually lasts about 5 minutes but eventually will start. I have not been to the dealership to see about it so i don't know what it is. But this…
