When it rains water leaks into my cargo area filling up my spare tire well. It also soakes the insulation in the sides of vehicle. It has cause a short in the rear ligts on vehicle which I am not sure but could cause a fire or electrical failure. Has there been any recalls for such . Last occured on or about.
Vehicle was parked at 10pm. Vehicle ignition was off. Vehicle was locked. Nothing left on. No one returned to the car for annything. Approximately 3 and half hours later, electrical fire started inside the drivers side rear quarter panel under the taillight (on the body, not the taillight on the lift gate) . By the time the car alarm was heard, the fire was spreading from the panel into the rest rear of the vehicle. Fire department arrived and extinguished the fire.
Car transmission jumps when its starts moving at the beginning makes it feel like someone rear ended the car. This happens every time. It does not feel safe.
Headlights do not point far enough down the road, making it difficult to see while driving at night especially on country roads or when raining.
First the Jeep could not move when we turn on the engine is on, we took it to the dealer and they fixed that problem saying it needed a battery. We let them put the battery in and took it home, next we get in the car to go somewhere, turn on the ignition, and a warning message appeared on the dash board saying low beam head light out we checked the lights on the Jeep and they did not come on, the high beam or the low beam. This sounds like an electrical problem to me and that is why I think it should be a recalled vehicles, also, this car is like new because we have not been able to drive it much because of the problems we have had from it. When a car is running and cannot move we know that is a transmission problem, now this! please help us now!.
As I am driving my car stahl's and everything shuts off. This typically happens as I am making a turn. This typically happens as I get closer to the date of my next oil change. The car shuts off completely and I must coast to a stop. After waiting about a minute I can restart the engine. This is a very dangerous situation as I am typically turning to cross traffic.
Turn the my vehicle on and all lights on my gear shifter came on and stayed on. A message on my dash was �service shifter�.
Front headbeams on high are so dim, it is a design flaw no one even flashes me when on high beam.
I've had to replace my low beams 10+ times this year. They keep shorting our. Also have to have my engine thermostat replaced even though it's working fine. It's electrical keeps causing my check engine light to come on. And the fix is replacing something that is fully working. And because my check engine light is on I can't makw it through deq to get tags for my car. This is the 3rd (separate) electrical problem I've had with this car and I'm done. Keep should stand up for their product.
Without warning all the dash panel lights shut off. This has occurred twice. Both incidents happened while driving straight on highways at dusk. ( 5:30 pm, March 7, 2018 on illinois I-72 and 8:15 pm, may 31, 2018 on missouri highway 6. ) the dash lights came back on after 15 - 20 minutes and/or a restart of the auto. It was terrifying to experience a sudden loss of dash lights at dusk and travelling at road speed. Cause is unknown to me. I plan to contact my Jeep dealership.
Factory headlights are terrible. Almost impossible to drive at night and really bad when its raining. Talked with local dealer and they said there is no problem. Start/stop does not work also.
Head lights are very dim, turned on bright is no better. Lights are to small, I can't travel at night unless necessary because it's dangerous to travel with lights that dim. When making a turn at night it's pretty much guessing where you are, dangerous in the rural area I live in. The lights needs to be replaced before someone is injured.
When 2015 Jeep Cherokee front windshield wipers are turned on, the instrument panel lights dim. The vehicle was in motion on an interstate highway. Maybe an electrical problem. . . Unknown. This has happened several times, last being September 17, 2016.
On 9-14 my left headlamp burned out, and on 12-2 2016 my rt headlamp burned out. These were hid hd/lps. Each cost me $215 to replace. I asked Chrysler about this but got no response. I find it hard to believe two lamps would burn out with the car having approx. 30,000 miles on it. I believe this to be a defect in "philips" hid elements.
Head lights inadequate. Difficult it see at night and in rain impossible.
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the headlamps did not produce enough light. In addition, when the high beams were illuminated, they were still dimly lit. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the headlamps needed to be raised. The vehicle was repaired; however, visibility was still poor while driving at night. The vehicle was returned to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was inherent to this model vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,000.
Owner pulled into rest stop got out to go the restroom while wife got their 14 month old and 4 year old out and put them in the passenger front seat to feed them at this time the font passenger door was open with the under dash courtesy light illuminated for about 10 to 15 mins approximately as which time the door was shut and the car pulled closer to the rest stop and the owner got out and had a snack leaving the vehicle for approximately 30 mins when he returned and opened the driver door he saw smoke in the interior coming from the passenger side floor board area. He opened the passenger side door and observed a pillow and a womens purse located in the floor board with the pillow smoking and falling apart. He pulled the floor mat out on the ground with the pillow and purse on it at which time the pillow burst into flames. After removal of the pillow which was the source of the smoke fire damage and melting was noted to the area of the under dash courtesy light on the passengers side of the vehicle.
