2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

Many engine related problems. Have proof of related problems and/also I have prof of me repairing the vehicle my self in present day

My youngest son was away at college, using the vehicle to go to and from class. He was driving the Jeep home for summer break when suddenly, the wipers turned on and the dashboard warning lights lit up the dash like a Christmas tree. He did not know what to do, who would? Then the dashboard went completely black. He tried turning off the wipers and then suddenly the car shifted into park in the middle of traffic all on its own, with cars on both sides. He was fortunate that he was not rear-ended and severely injured. My son is a cautious driver, as he fears any accident that could end his athletic career. He pulled over and turned the jeep off and then on and things looked normal. No more flashing dash warning lights, so he continued down the road, hazard lights on, paying close attention to vehicles around him. The dashboard warning lights were flashing repeatedly, vehicle auto shifting itself, dash going completely black and vehicle stalling in moving traffic...this happened several times on his way home. What my son experienced on the road, has happened to me several times since. It is a very frightening and dangerous experience. I believe I have been grossly misled by Chrysler Jeep Sales and continue to be misled about the soundness of my vehicle and the after reporting to the AutoNation (Chrysler Jeep) Service Department, the dangerous situation my family was in by driving my Jeep, I feel I was not dealt with fairly. Is this how they treat all customers or is it because I am Latina and a woman? With a vehicle with so many recalls, so many complaints and so many investigations by the NHTSA, it is a wonder why it is still on the road. Those who know would say, because no one has died, yet. Should that be the accepted answer or response? Should someone have to lose their life before this vehicle is taken off the road? Please see my attached document. I urge you to do a thorough investigation of these serious safety issues. (CPU, modules have been ongoing issues

NHTSA recall # 23V-411 (FCA#66A) was performed, but did not fix the issue with lost power. Even though the recall "fix" didn't work, FCA said that the proper fix wasn't covered, because the vehicle isn't under warranty. According to the dealership, the tone wheel needs replaced, and they said FCA should cover the cost.

While traveling down the highway with my gastank 3/4 full my car suddenly lost all power. Thankfully the large truck behind me and the car beside me were alert and they let me glide into the breakdown lane, where I was able to put the car into park and restart it. After doing a search I have noticed 2014 jeeps have been recalled for this issue, although when I entered my VIN a recall didn't come up.

Vechicle returns to limp mode. Almost causing several accidents on interstate. Engine 3.6. variable valve timing enough jeep at one time offered a longer warranty. Replaced cams,heads,phasers,oil pump,computer,timing chain,timing gears, over 9000.00 parts and labor. Mopar parts very problematic with the varible timing valve train.after problems in timing was fixed, there now is a oil pressure problem. Master mechanic credentials worked on vechicle several time and hour to try to fix problems. Mechanic now say only way to make vechicle safe at this point is to put a new engine in.this will cost over 13000 dollars over the 9000.00. I have already spent. Scariest part of this vechicle is when on a 70mph interstate and vechicle goes to a top speed of 40mph.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Brought car to Daytona Chrysler/jeep dealer for recalls and after a few days car was not done for the 2 recalls. They wanted me to pay more than $ 4k dollars for some repair they want which has nothing to do with the recall.

While driving vehicle shifts into neutral and displays a low voltage message. I was young 75 mph down the high way and the car shifted into neautral without indication that anything is happening.

Passenger front carpet had present water. Anticipated heater core issue. Mechanic discovered a body seal leak, and drained 2 gallons of fluid. Windows fogged, and or froze from the inside of the vehicle.

Noted hesitation while merging into traffic from expressway on ramp, Jeep reving up with loss of power observed. Jeep stayed in 5th gear on the expressway then leaving work at the end of the day hesitation turning onto the road from the parkinglot with hard forward jerking, shift between gears. Check engine light came on noted recalls this morning with the same type of problem that I am currently experiencing.

The driver side seatbelt does not retract. It has to be physically pushed back into the device so extra seatbelt is not hanging out. If one were to stop, the locking mechanism would have seatbelt slack in it so it wouldn’t restrain the driver immediately.

I have the 3.6 motor, I was told there’s a class action lawsuit against jeep cuz of that motor. Motor keeps over heating and pushing antifreeze out of the reservoir.

The first time it happened, I was driving on the highway going 70 when all of a sudden the transmission jumped into neutral, which caused me to jump several lanes to get off the highway to avoid being hit by several cars. I was scared to death!! It has has happened several times after that..There are no warning lights that comes on, it just goes from drive to neutral on its own. I’ve taken it to a transmission shop and was told there was nothing wrong with the transmission but there is definitely a problem and a safety hazard for sure!! after looking online, there’s definitely an issue with the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, this is extremely dangerous.

Out of nowhere the headrest "exploded" with force while I was driving and it was like a punch to the back of my head. I am nauseous and have a headache hours later.

I have Grand Cherokee SRT 2014 I am from Saudi Arabia. I was driving my vehicle in the right lane at a speed of 40 miles. There was a vehicle in the second lane that swerved onto my vehicle and forced me to crash into a light pole. The airbags did not deploy as the vehicle stopped due to the impact and not the brakes. I was hit while driving, and because I was wearing the seat belt, my rib cage muscles and other injuries were torn. Please investigate and help me. I have never got any fault in regard air bags even after the access ther is no fault light .

Within 48 hours, I experienced two issues: First, we were driving on the highway at a speed of 75 mph when suddenly the front driver's side tire pressure indicator began to ramp up and eventually topped out at 86. We stopped to check the tire pressure at a gas station, and it was really 41. We got back on the highway and the pressure gauge continued to decrease / increase with no rhyme or reason. It eventually went back to the correct pressure. A few days later, we were driving on the highway at 75 mph with the navigation set for an address that was about 60 minutes away. Quite randomly, the navigation voice came on and said "re-route" and wanted us to take a right turn (there was no way to turn or anywhere we could go). Bizarre! It seems like the car's circuitry/sensors are failing. It's alarming.

Our car was stopped and then engine started intermittently lunging forward for no reason. Rear ended the car in front of us and had to use the emergency brake to stop the car. Jeep Corp sent an independent inspector to check the car but only shared the car was drivable and didn't say there was a problem. They wouldn't share the computer findings with us or the dealer, only that is was drivable. They also wouldn't allow the dealer to see the computer while it was being tested. The car is currently parked and we bought another car. Waiting for Jeep to cover replacing parts or do something to the Jeep before it has another accident.

Complaint to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Subject: Vehicle Sold by CarMax with Open Recall Campaign Z46 in Violation of Stop-Sale Order Dear NHTSA, I am reporting CarMax for selling a vehicle affected by Recall Campaign Z46 (NHTSA ID: 22V406) in violation of the stop-sale requirement. In November 2023, I purchased a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Diesel from CarMax while it was still subject to this recall and the part needed for repair was on national backorder. CarMax failed to disclose the open recall or the serious safety implications. As a result, I experienced significant engine and DEF system problems and incurred over $3,800 in related expenses. The vehicle was eventually repossessed, and I had to borrow nearly $2,500 to recover it. In addition to these costs, I experienced credit score damage and emotional stress from the situation. I am requesting NHTSA to investigate this dealer for violating the federal stop-sale order and endangering consumers by releasing a recalled vehicle without remedy or disclosure. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Catastrophic engine failure. Engine stalled while driving and over heated. Smoke came from engine. Spitzer CDJR Homestead confirmed the engine failure with their findings "a profuse amount of metal particles in oil filter bowl and throughout oil filter." Warning lamps indication: Check engine light, low oil pressure warning light, throttle selector valve requires servicing. Unable to turn on engine.

It has happened twice in 48hrs, driving then all of sudden indicates not in gear. Pull over , will not go back in gear. Will have to wait. Then later on starts. Then is no indication no warning. This is extremely life threatening.

The vehicle was running but in park. I was putting air in my tires and heard something. I looked towards the passenger front and seen smoke coming from up front. The air ride pump caught on fire and melted wires, hoses, and the inner fender cover. I was able to put it out quickly.

I need help! Please! My car is under the X78 Extended Ecodiesel Warranty. The Government (EPA) sued FCA back in 2019 for making these cars with over 14 illegal deletes, like Volkswagen. Instead of making them buy the cars back, they let them say they would make all repairs related to this huge list of components. I’ve had nothing but problems the past almost 2 years. My jeep was at one dealership a full year. Now it’s at another dealership in Ennis Texas for about 59 days now. . My jeep went into limp in mode in front of an 18- wheeler on interstate 45, I was almost killed. I was so afraid! I sent a letter requesting they contact the manufacturer as they have said so on the paperwork. I’ve gone to get my car 4 tiles and it’s still not repaired. I get a text message on Saturday telling me my Jeep is fixed and ready? I’m not getting into that vehicle again, my daughter is having nightmares, she’s asked me please don’t drive that car again! I’ve attempted to pick this car up 4 times, it’s not fixed! Same code from 10/04 initial drop off. The same codes came back on 11/9 after they said they’ve replaced the PCM and Mass Air Flow sensor and other parts?

Driver's seatbelt is loose and won't retract. I tried to wash it, but it still hangs down to where it will get caught in the door when closing. This is a major safety issue in that my seatbelt is not snug against my body and would not protect me in an accident. I have seen numerous other complaints online about this same issue. Jeep is saying I will have to pay to have it diagnosed and repaired since it's out of warranty. Seat belts are required by law, but mine doesn't work!

airbag exploded while driving cancelling the navigation and seat memory jeep refuses to replace the radio which was destroyed by the air bag failure AND BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO PRE AIRBAG EXPLOSION

My Jeep eats up thermostats too often. I have had it for 3 years and had it replaced 4 times. The last time , one year ago, it took the repair shop a week to finally install one that would hold. It needs it again. I also smell something burning when I accelerate onto the freeway since owning it. My engines fan runs high aIl the time also. I read many complaints online about people having overheating problems and temp fluctuations In the same year vehicle. This seems to be an issue and I can't afford to keep paying to have the thermostat replaced yearly. Last time last year they replaced the radiator with it since melted rubber around thermostat could of gotten into radiator cogging it. This jeep seems to be a lemon with all that has gone wrong since I bought it. I feel this issue needs to be looked into. I dont feel safe driving it anymore specially with the burning smell I get when I accelerate onto the freeway. It almost smells like wiring but not sure. It not a distinct smell. I entered only one incident that occurred with this issue as one is all I could submit. A few days ago was the recent but 2 more besides that. Thank you

The vehicle above has started a countdown to where the engine will not restart in x amount of miles. I have replaced many parts to remedy the situation and taken to shops, mobile mechanics, etc. nobody can remedy this situation and I am left without a vehicle as it will not restart. The dealership says they’re so backed up and unable to get me in for 2 months. I am left without a vehicle and have no means of getting to my job let alone around.

On multiple occasions while driving, I have felt my transmission slip, reducing the speed of the vehicle and at a stand still, made a pounding noise when switching into gear, and at times I hear a click. I have reported this to Bob Boyd Lancaster (place of purchase) on the first occasion and I was told it was typical for this vehicle to behave that way because it has 12 (or 8) gears. After my transmission slipped again while driving I brought the vehicle in and was informed that it could not be duplicated. I experienced another transmission slip and took it to Jeff Wyler (closer travel). When I returned home I noticed transmission fluid in my garage and reported it. They indicated that I had a bad seal - pending repair - long delay in warranty coverage response (Ford dealership warranty), and now awaiting parts. Days later I experienced another transmission slip and this time I was able to record it on video (unable to upload on this submission) and sent this to the Jeff Wyler. The Ford Warranty only wants to replace the seal and 1 quart of transmission fluid, and not fix the problem or cover the recommended services indicated by the dealership.

Since day 1 of purchase, There has been a significant consumption of oil being burned. 1 quart per 1,000 miles. No warning light, the only warning is the engine shuts down when a certain level is reached. Happens on the road while in motion "shuts off" with no warning. Oil change is supposed to be changed at 10,000 miles. Car take 6 quarts of oil total . At 3,000 miles only 3 quarts empties.

Two open recalls on the vehicle (6/9/22 and 6/8/23) that have no repair available. 1. Both recalls can result in immediate and unexpected loss of vehicle power and "cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning" 2. DMV (CA Registered) will not issue current registration tags or paperwork due to recalls being incomplete. 3. Vehicle has had multiple issued related Diesel Engine, including entering into limp mode unexpectedly and incomplete diesel exhaust regeneration which has made it unsafe to drive at highway speeds. I have attempted to call the dealership every month and each time they have no solution as the manufacturer has not released a repair.

The Active head restraint on the passenger side deployed. The vehicle was brought to the dealer and confirmed the restraint had deployed. If this happened on the driver's side I could have had an accident. As it was it scared me and I swerved. There was no warning! I know there was an extended warranty issued but it has expired and the problem still exists regardless!

In Aug my warning light came on, I called Mopar was given a case number it was not until October that I was contacted after repeatedly calling for status. The is was the EGR Cooler which Mopar showed had been replaced when recall issued, I was advised by Stellantis to have towed to dealer, it was towed Oct 15, dealer advised it was replaced a few years earlier but I provided proof it had not, dealer then replaced but then advised it could not be cranked due to not holding coolant, it was not doing this prior to being towed. I then asked for the outstanding recalls to be completed, they advised no parts…I see now one is showing incomplete that should have been done, the other is a problem with part, I called after receiving a letter those parts were in and they said they were not, I then called you and was advised I am on a list to have this completed. I have been having to rent cars to get me to dr appointments since August. It is currently in the shop having the DPF r
