general problems of the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I hit a deer at 65 mph, causing significant damage to my vehicle, $7,300+ to the front end. I have a safety beacon that detected the accident through my insurance, that detected the severity of the impact, resulting in an immediate call for safety to check on me. My airbags did not deploy, but there was a nasty aroma of sulfur during the impact. My minor children were secured safely in the vehicle, as well as myself. I, the driver of the car hit my head very hard on the steering wheel and window during impact, causing whiplash- neck pain, and reoccurring migraines still to this day 3-21-2026. Although I didn't receive medical attention it has been made known that I hit my head. This would've been avoided had my airbags deployed. I assume there may have been a malfunction and had this been a more serious incident, not only would my life be at stake, but most importantly my children. This is unacceptable for safety purposes.

Headlights will completely go out at night just at random, sometimes it's only one and sometimes it both completely. Yet the high beams and fog lights will work when activated even when the regular lights will not. Has been an ongoing issue for a while now, and upon talking to other Jeep Grand Cherokee owners of around the same year model they complain that there's do it randomly as well, and I've seen a lot of forums talking about this issue.

The headlight lenses are hazing on the inside. I have turned this defect in for warranty repair and repair was denied. I contacted Jeep and I was told since it was denied there is nothing more they can do. The hazing on the inside of the lese is defusing the lights and visibility is drastically reduced at night. I have researched this issue and what I find out is the haze is caused by the heat of the bixenon hid is burning the inside of the headlight lense.

When driving and coming to a light my stop/start will kick on and will shut off my lights to my vehicle and the power to my radio. While at a stop light my lights will dim and get brighter along with my voltage jumping up and down from a low of 10v to a high of 15v while this is happening my lights dim and get brighter along with my dome lights doing the same thing. My Jeep has stalled out while starting the car and sometimes while driving. My Jeep has also popped up with a warning saying my stop/start is unavailable and needs to be serviced. I have also had to replace a year old battery with a brand new one because mine went completely out.

My Jeep. Grand cherokee 2016 75th anniversary front lights stopped working . . . First it was the left and now the right, in 10/29 I took my car to the Jeep dealer for the first problem and they told me that my warranty had expired, jus 40 k miles, today 12/9 the right does not work. And they are not responsible for the problem.

Since leasing this Jeep in July of 2016 there have been multiple issues. The main code found several time is a loss of communication from the main computer to the rest of the auto. Code u220. Issues include 1) incorrect shifting, 2) incorrect "brake" warnings, 3) unavailability of bright lights in the auto or manual modes, 4) lane change/object sonar warnings not available (back into cement wall at night) 5) nonfunctional automatic windshield wipers 6) lack of communication between the Jeep and iphone 7) inability to turn Jeep off 8) when in cruise control if + pushed it doesn't go up just one or two mph's, it speeds up very quickly and doesn't stop and 9) issue with adjusting the air ride and . The bright lights were not available 50% of the time. I would take the Jeep in and they could not find a code, so they would tell me there was nothing to fix. Finally, a tech looked into the issue and found a star fix and implemented it. Now I have the availability of bright lights 90% of the time. I drove for two years with no bright lights for most of the time at night, on country roads, and even in the PA mountains at night with no other light distractions. . Within the last couple of months the Jeep has started to shift incorrectly. I will be driving in town on a flat road and the Jeep will shift into "off road" and the rpm's go up to 8. I have an available video of this. I also have a video of the Jeep's dash after it shifted to another drive where the rpms went up to 4 on a level city road. When taking the Jeep for the "brake" issue the tech could find no codes. I refused to drive the Jeep and it sat for almost three months. Finally, a star was implemented, however now the "brake" alarm goes off more frequently. In summary, it seems the main computer is not talking correctly to the rest of the auto and the errors are becoming more serious as time goes by.
