Two problems related to water pump have been reported for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee based on all problems reported for the 2014 Grand Cherokee.
During driving car began making noise and temperature began to rise. Dealer says water pump has failed, causing potential overheating. Parts are on backorder. Per dealer, (sansone Jeep, avenel NJ) 150 water pumps are on backorder. Vehicle is in possession of dealer for 1 week at time of this complaint. Vehicle has 28k miles and always serviced by dealer. Large number of backordered parts indicates significant volume of repairs and likely design flaws.
After taking my new Jeep into dealer because the "check engine" light came on, I was told that there were 16 stored codes but they could find no problem and the computer was reset. Two days later the check engine light again came on. I took back to the dealership and was told "there is a leak in the fuel tube" we have to replace it but we will have to order the part; we don't have it in stock. I was told "it is safe to drive". . . A leak in the fuel tube-what the heck is leaking-is safe. Ok, but two trips to the dealer with less than 2,500 miles is a bit much. I have a 2006 Jeep, same make/model that had 1st major repair (water pump) at 145,000 miles. . . . So much for improved models. I am very concerned that this is a harbinger of future issues.
