I pulled into a parking space in front of ace hardware on main street in east islip new york. I put the car in park. As I took my foot off the brake the car continued moving forward and hit a stack of wheelbarrels in front of the hardware store. It damaged my license plate on the front end of the car the license plate bracket and put a significant crack in the paint on the front bumper. I have also noticed that at other times when I put the car in park and take my foot off the brake the vehicle moves forward or backward as much as 2 inches after being put in park. This occurred on June 23rd 2020.
This is my 2nd complaint since the transmission issue on 8/6/19 (tracking #11242090). I have not received an update regarding that issue. I followed up with the manufacturer who informed me that my VIN was not associated with the recall. On 8/7/19, I had the dealer perform a diagnostic test and they found that my SUV required a software update on the transmission and powertrain. The same recall affecting the 3. 2l but not issued to my VIN. On 9/8/19, my SUV began surging multiple times when I was in idle at city stoplights and died when in shifted into park three times within an hour. The only indication of an issue on my dashboard was the battery light that came on once the car died. The dash and radio continued to perform fine but the engine shut off with the key still in the ignition. I had the battery tested on 8/06/19 along with the alternator and terminals and they were at 100%. The battery was new when purchased 11/2018. I'd like to resolve this issue in order to feel safe driving this vehicle. I can provide further documentation from the dealer bayside Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 10535 automall parkway, d'iberville, ms 39540 or it can be requested from them directly.
Air bag warning light turned on haven't been able to fix yet. Passengers seat bearing on track broken. Front end noise when turning has been in dealer multiple times and haven't been able to fix sounds like rubbing on something crinkling sound.
I first experienced what felt like my transmission wasn't shifting properly right away. I noticed it in lower gears. I took it back to the dealership and they said everything was fine. I then started to experience my engine randomly stalling. I would be going slow and I was usually taking a right turn. I went to turn on my car and it said engine failure. I called the dealership and they said to tow it to them. I received a call that the reason my car ahut off was because there wasn't any oil. I have all my records and my oil had been changed at a dealership less than two weeks prior. So they put oil in it and said I was fine. Within a week my car died turning right on rail road tracks in an instersection. We had to have a police officer come and push us off the tracks and wait for us to get towed. The dealership told my there was a harness that needed to be replaced and it would cost $700! they said that he harness was under my hood when I did research it was discovered that it was in my trunk. They said it needed to be replaced due to water damage. In my trunk? I did research and found this harness was a common issue but it didn't have anything to do with the issues I was having. Now it is a year later and we are having the same issue. My service lights will turn on randomly. My engine stalled on the highway going 70 mph. I am at a loss what to do. My two year old has been in the car with me when this happens and I just want to know my car is safe to drive.
On 1/30/15 while clearing snow off my 2014 Cherokee, the wiper snapped back and left a major crack in my windshield that goes from edge to edge, and almost all the way up as well. The impact was not that forceful at all. I have now been waiting 26 days for a replacement as of today. On Saturday 2/21/15 I spoke with somebody at a Chrysler factory in detroit and they say they have over 900 of these particular windshields on backorder and may not be available till April. Sounds to me like if they have that many backed up, there must be a fault or defect in the design or manufacture of this particular windshield. It has a built in wiper DE-icer. Only that one is not available, the windshield without that option is available. But since this an option I paid extra for, I want it back. Again, is there any word on this being an ongoing issue? are these windshields defective, and is this recall material?.
Windshield crack due to stone being thrown up at highway speed. Took approx. 10 days to get a new windshield. During this time the windshield crack grew and went down into the heated part of the windshield. In the Cherokee the heated windshield is automatically on as long as the car is running. When the crack went into the area of the heating coil within the windshield it caused a short in the windshield creating an arc of red hot electricity. This in turn caused the windshield to heat up, melting my windshield wiper blade. There is no way to turn off this heated windshield and there is no software redundancy to recognize the problem and turn off this circuit. The car has to be turned off and cannot be driven to a dealership for repair. To do so would jeopardize the entire vehicle and occupants. A big fire could ensue. To be fair, Jeep has been notified. However, I thought you should know about this as this feature is being used by many manufacturers and there could be serious consequences as a result of fire.
