general problems of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 2

My Jeep has started experiencing rough driving and the gears slipping. I took it for service and they told me all the issues wrong were under a recall. (NHTSA 23-e-019) equipment safety recall 21a. He indicated: uplift timing, torque converter engagement, shift points, calibration issues, downshifts and other things. I called my local dealer and gave them my VIN but they stated my vehicle has not been recalled and they won't fix it. The big concern is the slipping gears. It lungs forward at times and I am scared it is going to cause an accident. It is very rough to drive. The service 4 wheel drive system light came on. It started 4/27/23. It is very bad when turning the vehicle and driving slow.

I put my car in park and ran in my house to grab my wallet. When I came back out, my Jeep had rolled down the driveway. The Jeep would crank but wouldn't move and there was a warning that said "service shifter. " I had it towed to the Jeep dealership where I spent over $3,000 to have it repaired. There was a previous recall on Jeeps because they could roll away when people thought they were in park, however this issue wasn't covered by that recall. No vehicle should just roll away like that. The safety of others was put at risk because my neighbors kids were actually riding their bikes in the road at the time this happened. Had one of them been hit or killed, I would have been liable for that. There is a serious issue with Jeeps that needs to be corrected.

When shifting of and on the vechicle when driving may go down in a gear then you have to push up in column to get back in drive. It’s been happening off and on for awhile but is concerning.

The driver side headrest popped out. The latch to secure it again also brown when it randomly came out. Car was sitting still and there was no impact of any sort.

At low speed, electronic shifter shifts itself into neutral. Warning light comes on to put shifter back in drive. No engine light comes on, vehicle has not been inspected by anyone.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the passenger side headrest deployed while driving, I understand that others have had this problem and there’s a recall for either passenger side or driver side but my Jeep does not come up on the recalls. Please advise I would hate to have the driver side headrest deployed while I’m driving. Thank you.

The dashboard is bubbling up and peeling which causes a humming noise when driving above 60 miles per hour. I contacted the dealership and since my warranty has ended I was quoted a cost of $1800. I did see where there was a recall for this issue for previous models.

I can hear my Jeep clicking into every gear and making a ticking noise this is because of the faulty shifter in these Jeeps. Also the computer isn’t working correctly software is to old to update.

Oil pump assembly. The problem was confirmed by a independent service center. As I was driving down the highway at 40/45 mph, I heard a knocking sound under the hood. I pulled into a shoping center got out to go into a store came back out turned on the Jeep and the engine light came on. Drive home called my mechanic. He said don't drive it have it towed in, it might be the oil pump or power train modular. It was the oil pump. My mechanic said I was the forth person to bring my Jeep in with this problem within the last 2 weeks.

Driver's side headrest deployment without a collision while driving on a highway going 65 miles per hour. Could have caused an accident at high speeds. Instant head, dazed, and neck pain. No warning lights or noises.

22v-406 recall issued June 9 2022. We’ve tried to have fixed but parts unavailable. At what point is this untimely? it has been over a year which seems untimely to me. The safety issue indicates high pressure fuel pump ("hpfp") that could fail prematurely. A hpfp failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.

The vehicle shifter design on this vehicle enables the shifting of the vehicle into an undesired gear without driver knowledge. I have shifted into reverse countless times when trying to shift to park or neutral when trying to shift to drive. I was attempting to hookup a trailer at a slight incline when I needed to adjust the vehicle slightly. I attempted to shift to drive but went to neutral. When I removed my food from the gas I rolled back into the trailer. This damaged my vehicle and could have serious consequences if a person is between the trailer and vehicle. This shifter need to be replaced before someone is injured or killed.

Hello I’ve seen some oil leakage all over engine of car. Mechanic stated the oil filter housing has to be replaced but not covered under Jeep warranty. Car is driving ok for now . I’m at 79,000 miles. I’m concerned that this may become a bigger issue especially fire hazard when driving car. I’ve see similar issue on 2 other Jeeps Grand Cherokees. I have not seen it come up as a recall but have seen multiple complaints. I feel that this is a mechanical issue and should be covered by Jeep.

Every so often water leaks in behind the control panel on roof and drips on my radio when at a slant . Thinking its the seal around the sliding window.

When setting cruise control to speed limit then pressing brake and then resume the Jeep sone times accelerates to a higher speed the. Having to break again. Has been reoccurring nervous when driving and setting cruise or resuming. Have not taken it in as of yet.

Was driving down the road it was raining no other vehicles around braking! came on the screen and the brakes were applied without me doing it. The second time it happened brakes locked up on interstate for a couple seconds then back to normal. If anyone would have been behind us we would have been rear ended. It happened 2 times within an hour. I will be getting it looked at by the dealership as soon as I can.

On Nov 18,2021 I took my car in for recall issues that had to be fixed. I had never had this issues until I fixed the day I took my car in. On Dec 23,2021 I was leaving town for the holidays when all of a sudden my car stopped and it would run I was on the freeway by the way! cars were going next to at about 60-70mph thankfully I was able to get out the freeway on to the ramp. When I shifted my car in park it started walking forward. . !! this was a recall supposedly the dealership fixed. This became a danger hazard for me and mg family. The tow truck picked it up and we dropped it off at the dealership. They said it was just the radiator, the bumper and this other thing. But now it left the repair shop and they are telling me my transmission is bad it’s no longer working and I need to buy and put a new one in. This is horrible. It makes me think about buying another Jeep. Me and my family could have gotten seriously injured!.

Hello I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee summit. 5. 7 ltr v8 engine. I recently bought this vehicle back in 04/21. I have noticed that the leather dashboard is bubbling and starting to lift and peel. I have looked on Jeep forums and found out this is a very common issue which is not a recall/warranty. The cost to fix is approximately $3,000. There are plenty of other complaints and this needs to be addressed as it soon can become a safety hazard for driver impairment as well. I have called Jeep and their customer service team and was not helped.

My wife was driving her vehicle on the highway at 60 mph and heard a loud pop in her vehicle and came to realize the back portion of her panoramic sunroof spontaneously exploded. She did not have her sunroof open at the time and the roof shade was closed thank god. There were no other cars around her when it happened and nothing that could have fallen on her sunroof due to her driving on an open highway. If her shade was open, it could've have been very dangerous if there were people in the back seat and getting hit with glass falling on them. Plus the initial shock and noise could've have made her get in an accident causing harm to others or herself.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to NHTSA safety recall 20v-699. Consumer stated that parts are unavailable to perform safety recall.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 3. 6 pentastar. Bought the vehicle 10-2020 and had issue with running hot due to faulty electric radiator cooling fan and thermostat and housing failure. Repaired the thermostat and hosing at local Jeep dealership. 2 weeks later, radiator cooling fan froze and ceased operation, replaced by independent repair shop. Within a couple the oil cooler and filter housing adapter developed a crack causing a catastrophic oil leak.

On 6/14/2021 I got in my vehicle and noticed the driver side headrest was deployed outward. I can see broken plastic clips inside.

The headrest popped while I was driving and caused my head to fly forward. Yes it can be inspected. No no no.

My Jeep has now on 2 occasions at a high rate of speed lost all ability to accelerate- April 29 & may 1st while driving on a highway at 70mph in rush hour traffic the vehicle lost all ability to accelerate- it felt like the engine slipped into neutral-however it was still in drive-I verified this- vehicle rapidly decelerated - I barely got off the highway without being in a collision- vehicle then after being restarted was able to engage into drive again and move both forward & backwards dealership was unable to determine problem however upon taking the car home on may 1st same thing happened again- this time with a eyewitness as well may 1 at 50mph- engine (still running) cut out as if it slipped into neutral - the vehicle still said it was in drive when the vehicle came to a full stop- the light for gear shift - changed & it read that jt was in neutral - simultaneously a message popped up (only after it was stopped) �vehicle speed is too high to shift� of course we were already stopped and never tried to shift it anyway my Jeep was manufactured in September 2014-this problem closely correlates with another recall that is limited to same Jeep models made prior to July 2014 see NHTSA campaign number 19v447 (see link below) this is incredibly dangerous and the dealership seems to have no awareness of this problem in Jeeps made in the same year as mine https://. .

On April 23rd at 9:28pm I was driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 on a highway at approximately 45mph when suddenly the transmission slipped to neutral without any human interference. I tried shifting it back to drive but the transmission did not respond. The Jeep lost momentum very quickly and came to a complete stop in the highway. As soon as it went to a complete stop it locked itself in parking position and l lost all ability to put it back to drive. I turned my blinkers and emergency lights on, but one minute later I got rear-ended by a car traveling at 50mph. My Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 got totaled and I was taken to the hospital in stable condition. I was in a bad collision due to the Jeep slipping into neutral and locking itself in parking. I lost all ability to control my Jeep. The Jeep got towed to a safe location. Two weeks later, we needed to move the car to another area for the insurance inspection. The car turned on and moved, yet again when the car gained velocity, the gear slipped to neutral and again came to a complete stop it, locking the transmission in the parking position. I always took my car for regular maintenance and it was a very well kept Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015.

Airbag service light keeps coming on while driving on highway and city streets.

While driving down the freeway my engine shut itself off and went into neutral. I noticed a lot of smoke/steam coming out of the back of my car. I pulled my car over to the shoulder and stopped it. I opened the hood to see if I could see what the issue was but was unable to immediately see the issue. There was a lot of steam/smoke coming out of the hood. I got back in my car to call aaa for a tow and while on the phone I noticed an orange glow from the engine compartment. I immediately hung up and called 911. Then got all my belongings out of the car and at this point the fire had engulfed the front of the car. Chp and fire department showed up. The car is a total loss.

The headrest to my Jeep popped out while I was driving. It is still attached, but seems to be hanging by a thread. After looking inside, it appears the plastic broke off the part that holds the headrest securely. I've called Chrysler and they said they won't replace it unless it has completely fallen off. I don't meet the recall requirements and I think it's very careless of Chrysler to not fix a faulty part.

There is a claim on my carmax that never happened to my Jeep. The accident from January 2021 where “my car rolled over” never occurred.

I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo. While traveling down the highway at approximately 65mph, the entire dash began to blink in and out, all kinds of error symbols flashed, I lost power steering and the car switched itself in to neutral – this resulted in an accident. This car has been in and out of the shop for the past several months. Every time it looks like it fixed, the car’s computer seems to do as it pleases. I lose driving power, it switches itself in neutral or the dash throws error symbols. I am at a point where paying for constant ‘repairs’ and insurance is becoming way too costly. I do not feel safe riding with my family in this car!!!.

Heat stopped working just cut off climate off screen indicates.

Head restraint deployed without a rear end collision or any other moving event my wife was simply loading the dog into the car as it was sitting in parking lot at vet office.

W79 diesel egr cooler recall from November 2020. (fire hazard) I am on a waiting list to remedy this hazard!!!! no parts are being produced for this recall? what good is a safety recall without urgent response with parts needed.

I thought somehow I broke my headrest and didn't realize. But when I went to look it up and to my surprise I see hundreds of people with he same exact issue. Car was not moving and was parked behind my business, came back to the headrest deployed. Surprised Jeep hasn't recalled this yet seems like a major issue, can't even imagine if someone was sitting and it exploded.

The leather on the dashboard is bubbling. There is some sort of glue issue on the vehicle.
