ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I was driving around 75mph on the interstate for about an hour (not using cruise control) when all of a sudden the accelerator no longer worked. There was no warning, no error lights or codes or anything. I tested the brakes and they still worked. I was able to coast to a stop on the breakdown lane. I waited about 20 seconds and restarted the car and everything worked again. This is my son's car that I was driving and it's really concerning because I thought I bought a safe car for him. I'm an experienced driver, but either way it's extremely dangerous. I looked information up about this issue and I guess it's been happening quite a bit according to the internet. Someone mentioned that the 4 PCM torx head t15 mounting screws that hold the PCM faceplate to the protective metal case where the circuit board is housed are too long. (Not the 3 bolts that hold the PCM to the mounting bracket) When there was a vibration or shift, the screws touched the circuit board shorting everything out and causing the engine to stall. The owner put washers with the 4 little t15 screws and were able to fix the problem. I think there needs to be a recall. I'm afraid to drive the car myself or have my son drive it. I'm taking it to the dealer, but I don't think they'll be able to recreate the situation.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
THE SCREEN THAT DISPLAYS RADIO AND NAVIGATION AND REAR BACKUP CAMERA FREEZES UP AND CAMERA WILL NOT DISPLAY. THE SYSTEM DOES THIS INTERMITTENTLY AND WILL POWER ITSELF OFF AND ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT REBOOT UNLESS I STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN OFF THE ENGINE, RESTART THE ENGINE AND TAKE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE TO FREEZE UP AND LOSE THE DISPLAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I'M DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE DECEMBER 2020. THE RADIO MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE. THE SECURITY GATEWAY MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT NOTHING HAS HELPED. I'VE TAKEN IN BACK 4 TIMES SINCE JANUARY 2021 FOR THE SAME ISSUES.

I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE DRIVE (D) INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING. AT THE SAME TIME, THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME NEARLY RAN IN INTO THE BACK OF US. I HAD TO SWITCH FROM DRIVE TO PARK, BACK TO DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DISPLAY/ELECTRONIC SYSTEM APPEARED TO BE HIJACKED DURING MY COMMUTE TO WORK. THE HACKER BEGAN BY CHANGING THE RADIO FROM SIRIUS XM TO AN AM STATION, THEN BEGAN CHANGING SETTINGS (CLIMATE CONTROL OF SEATS), VIEWED CONNECTED DEVICES (USB, MEDIA ETC.), THEN SWITCHED TO VIEW THE REAR VIEW CAMERA, VIEWED THE COMPASS, VIEWED PHONE SETTINGS AND DIALED THE LAST NUMBER DIALED FROM MY PHONE. THE HACKER KEPT GOING BACK TO SETTINGS, REAR VIEW CAMERA, RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AND CONTINUED EVEN AFTER I HAD STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED MY CELL PHONE OFF. I LEFT MY PHONE OFF UNTIL I ARRIVED AT WORK AND THE HACKER WAS STILL MESSING WITH SETTINGS AND RADIO. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND OPENED THE DOOR TO DROP THE DISPLAY AND ALL ELECTRONIC AUXILIARY POWER.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
MY VEHICLE (2019 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE) WAS ONLY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH WHEN I WAS STRUCK BY 4-DOOR CHEVY SILVERADO (DRIVER-TO-DRIVER COLLISION) THAT WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON GREEN, SO ONLY GOING ABOUT 3-5MPH. THE TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT NONE OF MY JEEP'S DID. MY JEEP'S ENTIRE FRONT AREA WAS CRUSHED, AND DRIVER'S SIDE EXPERIENCED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AS WELL; RESULTING IN MY JEEP BEING TOTALED. EVERYONE AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS SHOCKED THAT MY JEEP'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, I BUSTED MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AND 6 WEEKS LATER, I STILL HAVE A KNOT ON MY FOREHEAD. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A GRAND CHEROKEE AGAIN! I AM COMPLETELY AMAZED THERE ARE ZERO RECALLS!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JAN. 2018 BRAND NEW. FOR THE FIRST YEAR OR SO I HAD NO PROBLEMS. AS OF JULY 2020 IT HAS STALLED ON ME FOR 5 TIMES. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY (60-70MPH). THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD START BLINKING AND IT SAYS "SHIFT TO P TO START". IT DECELERATES VERY QUICKLY LUCKILY I'VE BEEN ABLE TO MERGE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THIS LAST TIME (1/17/21) IT WAS VERY SCARY AS CARS WERE SWERVING IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING ME. I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE SO THERE'S CARS GOING 60-80MPH FLYING PAST ME. ONCE I GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND DOWN TO 5-7MPH THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPS (HARD STOP). I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER EVERY TIME AND EVERY TIME THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE" MY COMPLAINT, THERE FOR NOTHING CAN BE DONE.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS AS I STILL HAVE 1 YEAR LEFT ON THIS CAR! IF NOT- IM TRADING IT IN & NO LONGER BUYING JEEPS. I HAVE THE DEALER INVOICE FOR ALL VISITS IF ANYONE NEEDS THEM.

THE AC DOES NOT STAY COLD. IT CYCLES FROM COLD TO LIKE WARM AND HUMID SEVERAL TIMES PER MINUTE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY HAVE DRAINED AND RECHARGED THE AC TO NO AVAIL. THEY HAVE TOLD ME OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME THING IN THE 2019S. IT HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT NO FIX HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN JUNE OF 2019, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. ABOUT THE 3,414 MILE MARK, I HAD MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, ALL OF THE WARNING MESSAGES STARTED FLASHING ACROSS MY DASHBOARD. THE CAR BECAME SLUGGISH AND FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STOP RUNNING. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC MOVING FORWARD. I FELT UNSAFE. IT WENT TO THE DEALER. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT, THEY FOUND ABOUT 75 CODES HAD BEEN ACTIVATED BY THE COMPUTER. THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. ON MY WAY HOME, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ALL THE WARNING MESSAGES FLASHED ACROSS THE DASHBOARD SCREEN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO DIE. IT WENT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. FINALLY GOT IT BACK AND I WAS ENSURED IT WAS REPAIRED. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE 11,000 MILE MARK. THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO AS BEFORE. BUT THE CAR STOPPED MOVING ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN I WAS IN REVERSE AND IN TRAFFIC STOPPED WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE CAR REMAINED RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT CONTINUE IN REVERSE OR GO FORWARD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK BOTH TIMES, MESSAGES FLASHED ACROSS THE SCREEN AND SEEMED TO RESET THE SYSTEM. I THEN COULD CONTINUE GOING WITH THE CAR. I DEFINITELY FELT UNSAFE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AGAIN, THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A TWO PAGE PRINTOUT SHOWING ALL THE WARNING CODES THAT HAD GONE OFF. AS I WRITE THIS, THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP. IVE BEEN TOLD THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AS OF THIS WRITING, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY WANTED TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME, UNFIXED. I TOLD THEM TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE CAR IS TO DANGEROUS TO TAKE BACK UN-REPAIRED.

SO FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, IT WILL 'SPIT' WHEN IT'S IN GEAR. LIKE I'LL PUSH ON THE GAS AND IT WILL GO BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL AND THEN GO AGAIN. IT STOPPED DOING THAT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT TODAY I WAS REVERSING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT SAID 'SHIFT TO P BEFORE PUTTING IN GEAR' (KEEP IN MIND THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE). AND THE CAR WAS 'SPITTING' AS I WAS IN REVERSE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS COMPLETELY IN THE REVERSE GEAR AND IT WAS. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN REVERSE AND IT WAS FINE AFTER THAT. BUT I SAW THIS POST ON FACEBOOK NOT LONG AGO, A WOMEN HAD I BELIEVE A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE, SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HER CAR POPPED UP A NOTIFICATION 'SHIFT TO P'. RIGHT AFTER THAT HER CAR AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED AND SHE WRECKED. MY CAR SAID THE SAME THING TO ME THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE. THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AS OF NOW, AND I AM SCARED FOR MINE AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.
