36 Wheel problem of the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 09/24/2020

I had cruise at 80mph on interstate highway and disengaged on exit ramp by using the brake. The car slowed but I used brake againn to yield onto 4 lane road and again to cross over 2 lanes into a gas station. I pulled up to pump slowly. When I put the brake on again to complette the stop,the cruise reengaged and the car took off. Luckily there was open parking spot,I aimed there and car just kept going. Over a curb, through about 75 yards of grass and into a field,about 25 feet in. No braking even tho I tried. In the brush was a concrete block I hit that caused both passenger tires to blow and then the car slowed and went to the left some 5 feet and stopped. No airbags deployed. I only plowed down small brush and missed a tree in my path when car veered left after tires blew. It was a dry sunny morning with no adverse weather conditions. I had only been driving for an hour and had stopped to get gas and use restroom. Thepa state troopers came but since no damage to other property and no injuries, they did not file a report. Usaa insurance notified at once and took the car. They claim it as a total loss. I am blessed to be ok but this cruise/brake malfunction could have been deadly anywhere else. I hope you will investigate I would not want anyone else to experience this.

37 Wheel problem of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 09/23/2020

On 9/23/20 my 2014 grand Jeep cherokee accelerated on its own causing me to crash into a fountain wall. I was parking and almost at a complete stop when my car went haywire. It felt as if I got hit from behind, my dash lit up, my engine revved real loud and my car lunged forward. There was enough force to lift my front end and place it on the 2nd tier of the fountain wall. I was in a tight parking area at the hialeah gardens building department. Please google earth the parking lot to understand the parking lot and how compact it is. I had an investigation done on my car and received a very generic response via email regarding the findings and that Chrysler / Jeep were not led to believe that the incident was due to a manufacturing responsibility. Not one person has called me to discuss. Jeep is very lucky my kids were not in the car and that I didn't kill anyone or myself. Customer care has been a joke. They told me that I can request call backs but it will never happen. I have a right to know what the investigation showed on my car. My car accelerated on its own! I cannot get any response from the Chrysler / Jeep on the investigation of the little black box and how they came up with their decision. I believe they send these generic emails out to shut you up and hope nothing further comes about. They know we have no means of talking to anyone and get away with having defaulted SUV's. They get away with lying and being unobtainable. I have additional pictures if you need to see them.

38 Wheel problem of the 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 08/10/2020

Hankook optimo h724 p225/75 /r15 102 slww tires - set of 4 tires purchased new on 5/25/2018. Kept up with regular tire rotations and air pressure checks. First replacement (side wall defect) 10/21/2019. Flat repair 2/24/2020 second tire replacement (side wall defect) 8/10/2020. This is highly suspect and determinable that these tires are dangerous and defective. Hanook has denied remedy even with citing the $1. 2 million jury verdict + discovery sanctions I cited to during my conversation with the claims division on 8/10, 9/1 abd 9/2/2020. Additionally, 70,000 mile tread warranty. Seller has determined the wear rate is 46,868 miles. Seller's comment: "these tires do not last long" hankook tires USA claims department admits to unusual wear but insists its tires are "within NHTSA standards". See hankook v. Philpot, 2018 ark. App. 546, at 4-5, 564 s. W. 3d 555, 557-58, . Hankook's appeal from the circuit court's order imposing attorney's fees as a discovery sanction in hankook tire CO. , ltd. V. Philpot, 2016 ark.

These tires are dangerous and defective to blow outs and softness to attract rather than deflect any normal road debris+ the tire tread is already half it's determined warrantied life span which is a hazard in its own separate defect which hankook does acknowledge the later but not the former. .

44 Wheel problem of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 10/16/2019

The lug nuts on the vehicle were swollen and apparently it's a known issue with Jeep I had to pay money out my own pocket to buy new lug nuts to rotate my tires which cost over $200 and when I contacted Jeep via email they said they were going to diagnose the problem and reach back to me it's been over a year now and havent heard from them I contacted them 3 more times and no response. Now I have an issue with my bluetooth being connected to my phone it keeps kicking my phone out I did a reset and hasn't worked and Jeep dealership is telling me its $135 to fix which I refuse if there is a known problem with Jeep and the radios that should be on recall as well. I have to re-pair my phone everytime I get back into my car. The bluetooth hasn't been working since may 2019 and my lug nuts had to be replaced last year August 2018. I bought this car in 2015 and the dealership told me I had 5 year warranty come to find out I had one year remaining because it started in 2011 when the car was made. Customer service sucks more and more with these dealerships not knowing a thing ! they just tell me they dont kno anything about this or that that I complain about. Ridiculous.

47 Wheel problem of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The goodyear wrangler sr-a tires have all started to dry rot and because of that the vehicle has had 2 flat tires in 3 days. The tires are 2 years old and no where near the 50,000 mile tread life. So 2 times in 3 days we where driving and we have gotten a flat thankfully not a blow out but these tires are junk and need to be recalled.

48 Wheel problem of the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 06/10/2019

Received �transmission over temp� message on dashboard after about 10 miles of driving in the morning. When the car has been in the heat for a while, the message could appear before 10 miles (sometimes immediately). The fan turns on and there is a definite lag in acceleration. Along with this error, I also get the �service, tire pressure system� message consistently. I've visited my mechanic with both issues and they thought it was fixed by the new battery, but they only drove the car for 8 miles to attempt getting the transmission hot, nor did they probably hit a bump/pothole to trigger the tire pressure system. They're puzzled as to why those messages are popping up because they don't see any further issues with the car.

50 Wheel problem of the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 06/01/2019

The Jeep Grand Cherokee came with 20 inch tires. The "full size spare" is only 18 inch. The internet says having 2 different size tires can be dangerous for driving and /or damaging to the differential. Jeep should be made to give a valid full size spare tire. The customer has to pay extra for the 'full size spare'.

52 Wheel problem of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 05/08/2019

I nearly died on 5/8/19 driving my Jeep. I was going about 60mph on the expressway in the far left lane. My sos 🆘 went off on my phone and immediately I lost control of the car and wheels started turn into left and right. There was no more power steering and I had to struggle and force the wheel to the right and left so I wouldn't crash into the divider wall on the left and cars on the right when it would change lanes. This went on for what seemed forever. I reached for my phone that was flashing and pressed the cancel button and shortly after it began to calm down and I began to get some control. I don't understand what happened my phone was not connected to the blue tooth it was sitting on the passenger seat. You have an image that is described as a death wobble that is similar only mine was more profoundly severe. What is this and what causes it? it almost killed me. I could have had my grandchildren in the car with me. I do not want to go in to Jeep an they act like they don't know or can't find the problem. This is a deadly safety problem and I am afraid to drive this car. It is safe and there is no warning sign. Fix it immediately, recall it, exchange it, or refund it.

53 Wheel problem of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 05/06/2019

The vehicle radio/navigation system blacks out. System blacks on and off and when reset- navi udefined blinks on and off and system states it's in compromised for cyber security. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership 2x and will be dropping the car off tomorrow and leaving until they figure out what is wrong with it. The radio also tries to set itself to various stations. I have uconnect access and I have not paid for the service. I located yelp in the vehicle yesterday- the vehicle will be dropped off and I am demanding a resolution and I do plan on taking further steps with uconnect and Jeep/cryhsler. The vehicle was purchased new. It took me a while to determine it was the uconnect as I thought it was my phone. I did not think it was the fact that I connected the uconnect to the phone. I also took my vehicle to 2 Jeep dealerships to check on recalls.

56 Wheel problem of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 01/15/2019

Rims will collect mud, dirt, snow and become severely out of balance. Living on a gravel/dirt road makes this a re-occurring. Requiring the inside of the rims to be washed out. Never in 54 years of driving have I owned a vehicle with this problem. It makes the vehicle unsafe to drive until the rims is washed out.

Lug nuts have started swelling or ballooning and have started breaking. 3 lug nuts have ballooned where they are no longer tight on the stud. The other lug nuts can't be removed without breaking the stud. If I'm have a flat, I may not be able to change the tire without breaking the lug stud.

59 Wheel problem of the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 11/14/2018

The michelin tires-285x60xr18 needed to be replaced at 16,000 miles. The wear bars were already showing. I took to Jeep dealership in lansing, michigan and was accused of driving wrong, not rotating and balancing (I am meticulous about service-so yes, did), driving on too many dirt roads (live in the city, city driving only-so no) and offered no discount on new tires. Discount tire told me that Jeep is notorious about putting on cheap tires to bring down cost of car. Seriously 16,000 miles of city driving! I bought the car new with 30ish miles on it. . . The tires should last more than 6 months. Something is wrong with these tires or the car!.

60 Wheel problem of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 11/11/2018

The goodyear tires have little tread left after 14,000 miles. Also, the kevlar goodyear are highly susceptible to penetration by staples. Staples! I can understand that no tire is impervious to nails but I would have thought that with kevlar these tires should be able to stop a staple. I guess not. Probably the most important issue is the lack of traction on the tires. They are absolutely horrible in the rain. Unsafe actually. These tires need to be removed from the market.

61 Wheel problem of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 10/25/2018

I was traveling south on cambridge rd. As I was approaching a shopping plaza, a vehicle was attempting to exit the parking lot of the plaza also heading south. As the vehicle was attempting to make the left hand turn, it pulled in front of my car, driving me off the road. I had to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting that car, and when I did I crashed into an electrical pole, destroying the entire front end and totaling the car. The airbags did not deploy and this is why I'm filing this report.

62 Wheel problem of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 09/11/2018

We purchased 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2016 approximately 2. 5 years later we attempted to get new tires put on. We went to tire store & they stated that the lug nuts were defective. . They stated that the lug nuts were swollen and if they were to force the lug nuts off it would render the vehicle inoperable. As we had a lengthy road trip planned, we were forced to go to the Jeep dealership. Both the initial service writer, andrew, and later the service manager, john wilson, agreed the lug nuts were defective. But they stated it was �fca�'s fault and gave me a phone number of 1-877-224-5356 I called fca said they would do nothing about this since there is no recall. I feel that we could have been killed if we would have gotten a flat tire in the wrong neighborhood as we would not have been able to put the spare tire on and the vehicle would have been inoperable. We were charged us $311. 19 and refuses to give us any relief. The service manager offered an oil change but they are 45 minutes away from our home and it is not practical for us to do this. I am happy that we decided to get tires before we left since the story may have been very different had we had any issues on this trip as our safety may have been jeopardized. I would appreciate any help you can provide us as we are afraid that they likely put defective replacement lug nuts back on. The lug nuts swell up and split apart when they are being taken off of the tires rendering vehicles inoperable. My husband stated he saw on line that Ford had a recall due to defective lug nuts on their SUV's and I feel that Jeep should be required to do the same. I feel that we should be given a full refund of the $311. 19 we were charged and they should also be required to put proper lug nuts on all of their vehicles affected by this defective product. Please help us and help others. Much appreciation & thanks.

67 Wheel problem of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 05/15/2018

It's been since may 2018 with in/out visits to the dealership for a constant problem. My steering wheel wobbles over 70mph on my 2015 Grand Cherokee wk2 high altitude, all standard features. This started after 26k miles and now I have 39k miles. I've researched dozens of forums and read through tsbs with no solution. I had the dealer replace the tires, twice, with michelin premier ltx 20inch tires, several road force tests, high speed balances, several alignments, rack and pinion replaced, front wheel bearing assemblies replaced, all new shocks and after alllllllllll of that, she still wobbles!!!!!!! the dealer has thrown their hands up and will not help me any further. The steering wheel only wobbles between 70-80mph. Another customer's wheels were placed on my car and tested with same issue. Privately owned alignment centers also confirmed a spot on alignment and wheel balance. All bushings appear to be intact. The Jeep is not safe to drive on the highway.

69 Wheel problem of the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 03/09/2018

My name is edward ventura and I recently (03/09/2018) purchased a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee (VIN# 1c4rjfbg1gc410154). The following day my tpms sensor lights came. I didn't think much of it, tried putting air in my tires but it didn't work. I took my car in to service the problem on 04/30/2018. After I dropped off my car I was told to wait for a phone call. When I got the call my service advisor robert, who was very nice and helpful told me all 4 of my sensors were missing and there's a strong possibility the previous owner also swapped out the tires as well. I purchased my Jeep with 8,000 miles, a lease return carrying a cpo stamp of approval. I was told there's nothing that can be done. I'd have to pay everything out of pocket. I didn't even get floor mats on the day of purchase I actually received them a month later. How does this happen? if my vehicle is a cpo doesn't is mean it past a multitude of tests? how is something so obvious missed? I'd appreciate some help in rectifying this problem, I spoke with the supervisor in charge of service and he never got back to me, unfortunately.
