NHTSA Complaint #10691919 — 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE

I PURCHASED A 2015 CHEROKEE SPORT IN OCTOBER 2014. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTED SEVERAL RECURRING PROBLEMS. HAVING NEVER OWNED A BRAND NEW I THOUGHT PERHAPS THERE WAS SOME EARLY MILE GROWING PAINS BUT THESE PROBLEMS PERSIST. THE SCREEN MALFUNCTIONS AT WILL; SOMETIME THE REAR CAMERA IS ENGAGED WHEN DRIVING FORWARD, THE SCREEN LOCKS ON THE DISCLOSURE/ACCEPTANCE PAGE. VOICE RECOGNITION/COMMAND HAS NEVER WORKED. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP (REMINDS ME OF AN UNRULY DOG ON A LEASH TRYING TO LEAP FORWARD). DELAYED ACCELERATION WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED CAUSING IT TO SUDDENLY LEAP INTO MOTION RISKING HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU IN CITY TRAFFIC (I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES ? THIS IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING) OR A WALL BEHIND YOU (I BACK INTO MY PARKING SPACE). WHEN PARALLEL PARKING OR IN A 3 POINT SCENARIO (D-R-D) THE CAR, ALTHOUGH CLEARLY PLACED IN THE REVERSE THE CAR WILL ROLL FORWARD BEFORE REVERSING. OFTEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE, WAITING SEVERAL SECONDS (4 TO 5) BEFORE RELEASING THE BREAK WILL DO THE TRICK BUT JUST AS OFTEN, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. GEAR TRANSITIONS ARE SLOPPY. THIS CAR DOES NOT SHIFT IT LUNGES. I'M SURPRISED THE [XXX] THING DOESN'T BITE ALTHOUGH IT TRIES. I THOUGHT THESE WERE MY PET PEEVES BUT IT APPEARS I AM NOT ALONE. I WISH I HAD READ THESE EARLIER COMPLAINTS. I WOULD HAVE RETURNED IT TO POST HASTE. I HATE THIS CAR BUT AM NOT IN THE FINANCIAL POSITION TO BUY ANOTHER. PURCHASED FROM A DEALER 50 MILES AWAY (BEST PRICE) HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TAKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE FINALLY SCHEDULED 2-DAYS OFF FROM WORK TO TAKE IT IN. I WISH I WAS IN THE POSITION TO NOT JUST DROP IT OFF BUT LEAVE IT THERE. IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD NOT HESITATE. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
