While driving my vehicle on the highway, the steering wheel locked up and it put itself into neutral. The abs system notification and another light was active and my jeep stated my vehicle was going too fast for the gear it was in. The abs breaking system bypassed the nss safety feature in my jeep causing me to go off the road as a I lost all control of the steering in my vehicle. Upon a check by the mechanic, I had faulty wiring in the wiring harness which they cannot replace because the part is no longer made. My jeep is only a 2015. I went off the road because there was poor weather - it was snowing out and my vehicle would not respond to any gear resulting in my turning the vehicle off. My jeep was towed to the dealership for diagnosis. I have not picked up...

The electronic shifter goes out of gear showing a long line with no gear letter while I am driving. I have to hurry and put it in a gear. It has done that while driving at a fast speed and a low speed. It scared me when I was on the highway going between 70 and 85. At first I didn’t know what to do whether to apply brakes or shift back in gear. I couldn’t apply brakes because someone was right behind me so I grab the shifter and push the button and put back in drive. That happened to me about three or four times going to work on a busy highway.

I was crossing a road to get to the median and my Jeep stopped moving in the middle of a 4 lane highway, separated by a median that I never made it to due to it stopping moving during acceleration. It made noise when I pressed on the gas pedal but didn’t go anywhere. I was hit by a car that couldn’t avoid me, and my daughter and I were injured in the crash. My daughter had a fracture in her right leg & facial bruising. I had a laceration requiring stitches and facial bruising, lost consciousness at the scene and am severely concussed. Progressive deemed my Jeep a total loss.

My car has been having symptoms of a recall associated with other 2015 Jeep grand Cherokee - around electronic braking system , something with the brake booster. The brake light comes on. It has been for years. Mechanic couldn’t figure it out and finally mentioned it is likely from a recall. But the recall is not vin specific so I can’t get it fixed fully covered by my dealer. Can you please review and assign the recall to my vin? Thank you

When raining the water will leak throug the sunroof or headliner not sure where it comes through but it comes from 2 places one hitting the arm rest / middle console which caused the terrain selection to go out and im worried it will cause the screen or something else to go out and catch on fire as I read it is common with these problems , when I purchased the vehicle as well they said it was just a frozen trunk gate spring but once I looked up the problem happening it is said to cause the gate to go out

After an oil change, my jeep starting ticking. I've read of several recalls. My jeep is having all 10 of the recall issues.
#11542323 | Fire
I have had several incidents where the car was not responding properly such as fob key unlocking car, even with brand new battery, I’d have to unlock car manually but alarm would go off for 10min+ then randomly stop and car would allow me turn it on. Sunroof wouldn’t work properly and get stuck. One night ( about 8/12) car lights turn on and off and power gate lift opens randomly and battery catches fire which is extreme danger. Someone was able to put it out in time. This is a fairly new battery. Car has been in dealership for about 3 weeks now and I have been told that the body control module failed causing non stop current to the battery causing it to explode. I am now being charged $1600~ for repair/ parts.

I had a warning code of service electronic throttle. It then started to regenerate and we took it to Lithia Jeep to fix EGR recall. They needed to replace engine intake because it caught fire. Several months later the car broke down while driving, sputtering, knocking, squealing. Upon inspection, metal flakes found in oil. Suspected HPFP sucked into engine causing havoc. The HPFP is an open recall but no available replacement parts. I'm currently out of a vehicle. I've contacted Jeep but haven't heard a reply
#11536580 | Fire
USB 12V connector caught fire and melted the panel while car was off Yes it is available for inspection upon request If it would have happened while driving it would’ve put all passengers at risk It has not been confirmed by a dealer It hasn’t been inspected by mfg. insurance or police. There were no warning lamps, symptoms or msg. prior to the failure this happened 7/31/2023 I was unloading my groceries from the back when I came back out to get more bags, I noticed that the cabin was full of smoke. I’m trying to get an estimate to replace it so I can file a claim with my insurance company.

Blinker switch will not go back after making Right hand turns

While driving vehicle shuts off unexpectedly, with steering wheel losing power steering. It will then have trouble starting again. Turning on and off by itself. It will then work just fine after 15-20 minutes.. It has been doing this every few months for a couple years now. I have taken to dealer a couple times, and they have had me change battery initially. But can’t give me a reason why it keep happening after that. Most recently, once I was able to work again after it had shit off on me while driving, it would then not shut off. I could not turn the car off. I took to dealer, and eventually it turned off. It is at dealer currently at time of this writing.

We were driving and we heard a chime and nothing showed on the display panel. Then we went thru the displays and saw a message regarding the ACC something about manual something. Then we lost power. Since we were on the highway We turned the truck off and started it again to potentially reset. We drove a couple blocks to exit the highway and lost power again. The we got out of the vehicle and smelled smoke. We peaked under the hood and saw fire. We all got out, grabbed our stuff and then the fire spread and engulfed the truck. Total loss.

The computer/screen died disabling most of the essential controls/functions of the vehicle including: hands free calling, control of the temperature/air flow, park assist/safety options, security features. This issue also disabled the ability to control other functions such as the windshield wipers and drained the battery until it died. The battery had to be recharged and then after that any time I turned the car off I had to unplug the battery so that it wouldn’t be drained.

My 2015 Grand Cherokee has a Service Shifter warning that has come on and causes the transmission to jump while driving. I've taken this problem to the dealership and was initially charged for a new shifter and wiring harness. Two weeks later the problem returned. I took the car back again and was told the system wasn't reset. Two weeks later problem returned. Took it back to dealership and was charged to reset two more codes. Two weeks later the problem returned. Took it back to the dealership and was told power steering pump had leak and was traveling to the area where the sensor was causing it to go off. Paid for more repairs and now 4 days later the service shifter light is back on and more frequently than before. This issue nor should any issue cause someone to continuously miss work to deal with a problem that...

Without warning the vehicle will not start, and displays that the TPMS system needs service, and that a rear turn signal light is out. The engine will attempt to turn over but will not start the vehicle. This has happened multiple times under 90,000 miles. On more than one occasion, after about a day of not starting, the vehicle will start again, after no fix action was taken.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee drivers side heated seat burned a nickel size hole through the seat, burned a hole through my girlfriends sweatshirt and burned her skin. Thank god she was able to maintain her composure and pull over to a parking lot and get out. What if she had jerked the wheel (as it startled her) and caused a crash? What if she was on the highway?? What if the vehicle started on fire?? The vehicle is currently at the dealership and being inspected. There were no warning lamps or other symptoms.

Driving my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, in Oct 2021 and this weekend, slipped into neutral while driving on the highway at 50+ mph and wouldnt shift back into drive. displaying the message 'VEHICLE SPEED IS TOO HIGH TO SHIFT' while at full stop Stop sign Both times trying to restart it, the engine would rev violently and shut off, only to restart after a few minutes and drive as normal. Both times in high moving traffic, narrowly avoiding traffic. The 2nd time I was on the NY Triboro bridge and used road flares to alert traffic Called the dealer and they claimed to have never heard of this before. Couldnt find any issues or replicate the issue. attached are several issues of other drivers having the same issue and still @Jeepc laims no knowledge. Does someone have to die to fix this issue

Once the shifter was moved into "Drive" , the transmission would automatically swith it to "Park" that would not allow any movement! It happened on the same day to all three of us. Several hours later, the transmission seemed to work. Waiting for diagnostic service at Umansky Jeep in Charlottesville, VA. This shifter movement could potentially lead to an accident! We occasionally tow a trailer and risk to other motorists and us would be substanstial! Please initiate invastigation sincere there a multiple complainst related to transmission.

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!!!

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...

THE VEHICLE TAKES A LONG TIME TO TURN OVER TO PUSH TO START. SO YOU HAVE TO REDO IT AND TRY IT AGAIN. ALONG WITH US, THE TOUCHSCREEN TAKES A LONG TIME FOR FOR IT TO TURN ON. WHICH OBVIOUSLY THAT CONTROLS YOUR AC OR HEAT. I'VE GOTTEN A NEW BATTERY TWICE IN THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. I'M SCARED I'M GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE ONE DAY AND GET STRANDED. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE A WARRANTY ON MY CAR AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT PUT A BATTERY IN IT EVERY TIME. I HAVE A FULL COVERAGE WARRANTY ON MY JEEP BUT I CANNOT GET THEM TO FIX ANYTHING AND THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WON'T FIX ANYTHING ELSE.

I CONTINUE TO HAVE SERVICE SHIFTER AND CHECK ENGINE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION BOTH ON CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AND IN PARK. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS COME ONE, IN MANY CASES THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND I LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, WHICH CAUSES A SEVERE SAFETY RISK IF IT OCCURS WHILE TURNING OR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MANY TIMES MY DASHBOARD WILL GO COMPLETELY BLACK FOR SECONDS AND MY WIND SHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE FOR 180 DAYS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

MY CAR GOES FROM DRIVE, TO PARK, TO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE WITH LITTLE TO NO TOUCH OF THE GEAR SHIFTER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS RECENTLY ASSUMING I WAS STILL IN DRIVE MODE, NOTED THAT THE GEAR HAD ACTUALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL.

ALSO, THE GEAR SHIFTS WHILE IN MOTION, WHICH IS EVEN ADDITIONALLY DANGEROUS BEING THAT I LIVE IN A CITY WHERE THE HIGHWAY IS MY PRIMARY METHOD OF TRAVELING.
