Horn Assembly problems of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Vehicle engine light came on - rear windshield wiper started even though switch was off, power steering failed and engine shutoff while driving on city street, horn beeping intermittently whether driving or not. Several messages displayed for about 2 seconds -ecm lost communication and other msgs I couldn't get because they only flashed on the screen. Keyfob battery low even though I just put in a new battery.

The horn and rear wiper began to go off automatically along with the console screens flashing resulting in the vehicle turning off at a stop light. After getting it started back up, while on the freeway (70 mph), the horn began honking on its own again and I was afraid the vehicle would turn off on the freeway resulting in a potentially disastrous situation so I exited the freeway and carefully proceeded to the Jeep dealership where after a few days they diagnosed it with a faulty total integrated power module (tipm). It was apparently not covered due to the fact that I had approximately 38k miles, instead of 36k of below. How can an electrical system fail due to "normal wear & tear"? I feel this should have been covered under warranty instead of becoming an out of pocket expense for me. I'm nervous about driving my vehicle even after the tipm was replaced; it doesn't feel the same.

Sunroof has failed 6 times and is now ready for it's 7th repair. The sunroof's automatic functions stop working so when it fails you have to push the close button repeatedly while the sunroof moves maybe 1/4" on each depression of the button. The dealer replaced the motor once and for the other 4 times I was told it needed to be calibrated. The last sunroof failure they went in and went through all of the electrical connectors and said they found some electrical wiring problems and fixed them. The sunroof failed again 2 weeks later. The airbag warning light, due to another electrical connector issue. The electronics in the vehicle malfunctions regularly which affect the radio controls, navigation, central locking, phone, and I get random erroneous errors on the dash display. The radio/navigation units have been replaced. The navigation screen locks up but the voice will continue to give you verbal instructions. If you manually lock the vehicle and start walking away the horn will beep twice and the vehicle will unlock like the keys have been locked in the car, even though they are in your hand. I was told you cannot use the lock buttons on your door to lock the vehicle. When you walk up to the car and grab the door handle to unlock the car it fails, and you have to grab the door handle all over repeatedly to get it to unlock. The dash display will give false messages while driving like already in desired gear and no one has touched the shifter. The voice will come on randomly and ask you what number you want to call, again no buttons nor the display have been touched. Error on display memory system, the programmed seat switches were replaced. Transmission issue, the module was replaced. Rear hatch failure, finally switch was replaced. Rear tail light lens replaced as it was full of water. Check engine light, faulty oil pressure switch. Engine vibration, bad ac comp.

Check engine light came on. After shutting vehicle down for a couple hrs check engine light was off but horn would randomly go off every 15mins. I had to pull the fuse to stop it. I then noticed the dash was staying on and flickering when the vehicle was shut off. 2days later battery was dead. So far Chrysler has authorized a flash on the instrument cluster board which did not work. The part needed is on back order and wont be available for a month. They refuse to give out an acceptable loaner and told me I can take my chances and drive my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v643000 (air bags, seat belts); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact was concerned that the air bag would deploy in his face. The vehicle burned oil continuously and there was blue fumes coming from the rear of the vehicle. In addition, the horn sounded and the hood latch failed. The dealer repaired the vehicle. The brake master cylinder protective plate was repaired under NHTSA campaign notification p67. The fuel door mechanism was fractured and the dealer repaired the vehicle. The dip stick was not replaced. A grinder was marked for a new factory dip stick. The contact also stated that the dealer placed too much oil in the vehicle. When the vehicle was new with less than 200 miles, the instrument cluster failed and the contact could not see how fast the vehicle was driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed a short circuit in the sun visor wiring. The vehicle was repaired. The contact also stated that the locks unlocked on their own. When the button was pushed on the key fob to open the rear tailgate, it would not respond. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 11,351.
