Traveling at highway speed numerous warning messages and warning chimes started to go off. Created distractions to driving and it appears that air bag and seat belts stopped functioning intermittently. Cruise control also failed. Vehicle already serviced on all prior recalls two months ago. These issues are new starting on 5/23/2014. Dealer appt is scheduled for 5/26/2014. In past, also reported issues with transmission shifting and HVAC. Not a well tested vehicle. Far too many dangerous issues with vehicle. Hope NHTSA can investigate issues.

While starting up my Jeep Grand Cherokee the air bag warning light came on with a system failure and that it needed service. About 2 minutes after that my drivers seat belt light came on telling me it was not latched (though it was) and it needed service. Then about 30 sec later the acc/fec system failed and a warning came on. When I took it to Chrysler fairoaks Dodge in chantilly that night they looked at it the next day and told me a module was bad (orc filter?) that controlled the airbags and everything else was effected because of that. Trouble is there is no part in stock for repair and they want to keep my car for weeks while waiting. )I bet Jeep is still making new cars with the part so why no part for my car? anyway, I was at Jeep to pick up a rental since it would be so long and another Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014 pulled in with the exact same problem. Very odd I thought and worth reporting. Maybe Chrysler is hiding something here and more is wrong with their Grand Cherokee that they own up to. (especially since the part is in such short supply which is odd) perhaps a recall may be in order.

On May 17,2014 while driving my dashboard stared to flash showing seat belts and air bags no working. On May 19,2014 went to Jeep dealer to find out that the instrument air bag module needs to be replaced. But the problem is that Jeep has no available parts to take care this problem, parts are on back order and no sure when they will be available.deehiclealer advice me to take the truck and they will contact me when the parts will come avalaible.I ask the dealer teteboro Chrysler in New Jersey if its safe to drive a vehicle and if the system is working? they told me that they are not sure if this system is in working order.this truck has been in the shop for 5 days just sitting in the dealers lot.I do not know if I should be driving this vehicle not knowing that the seat belts or air bags will work in case of a crash.also, I contacted Chrysler Jeep headquarter and they could not help me either.the dealers will not give you a courtesy car to drive so you are stock with no vehicle and making your monthly payment, as far they are concern and so is crhysler your safety and your family safety is not important.so.been that I have to work and have no wheels, iwill go tomorrow to pick up my Jeep and hopefully I will stay safe until the replacements parts arrive.this truck has also other safety problems including the transmission not responding at low speed. Thank god its a lease I will never buy Chrysler products ever again.

While driving at approximately 45 mph, without warning, the airbag needs service indicator as well as the driver seat buckle is not fastened light came on. In addition, there was another failure with the on board phone requiring service. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they said the air bag sensor was on back order and did not know when it would arrive. I am extremely concerned that this part is not stocked. The driver seat buckle is not fastened beeps for several miles before it ultimately stops. Very annoying. I would think Jeep would ensure that this part was always in stock with its dealers since it is an integral part of the overall safety of the driver in the vehicle.

Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

  • 14,000 miles
While traveling home from a family vacation at about 40 mph my seat belt light started flashing saying that the driver and passenger air seat belt was not engaged along with the lights and dinging alarm saying that the air bag is in need of service, this has not gone off and the dinging is constant. I called and set up an appointment at the dealership and waited 4 hours for them to tell me that they did not have parts needed to repair the issue that it was on back order (at least 1 1/2 weeks) but would not be providing a rental car since the car was still drive able and that they would call when the part was in. I am very upset because I am in the automotive industry and know that this is a safety concern/ risk. I have also been experiencing issues with my transmission. I regret making this purchase.

I was at a full stop. I made a left turn and the vehicle just accelerated more than expected and ran into a tree. The tree was unearthed, the front of the vehicle was completely destroyed. It was totaled by the insurance company.

Grand Cherokee 8-cyl

  • 6,000 miles
Upon starting my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland, all of the warning lights came on and remained on. This included, but was not limited to: Airbags, electronic stability control, ABS brake system, check engine light, and others. The messages in the dashboard information screen indicated various failures and the need to service immediately. The rear backup camera also became non functioning. After shutting down the vehicle, waiting several minutes and then restarting, the problems continued. Out of safety concerns, I called the nearest Jeep dealer and was advised they "had never heard of this" and if I wanted service that I would have to leave the vehicle there since they do not make appointments. The lights went out upon restarting again, however I am very tentative about driving it, as I do not know if these important safety systems and/or warnings have failed. This is potentially extremely dangerous and totally inexcusable in a $47,000 vehicle which is less than 6 months old. The navigation system and radio have not worked properly since I purchased the Jeep. Upon calling Jeep, and providing my VIN #, I was advised that it needed a "radio enhancement". looking online, there are many complaints of this electrical safety issue, and yet two local dealers have never heard of it ? there also doesn't appear to be any apparent "fix" at this time. Hopefully the NHTSA can look into this potentially dangerous problem.
