The dashboard is bubbling up and peeling which causes a humming noise when driving above 60 miles per hour. I contacted the dealership and since my warranty has ended I was quoted a cost of $1800. I did see where there was a recall for this issue for previous models.
At low speed, electronic shifter shifts itself into neutral. Warning light comes on to put shifter back in drive. No engine light comes on, vehicle has not been inspected by anyone.
The driver side headrest popped out. The latch to secure it again also brown when it randomly came out. Car was sitting still and there was no impact of any sort.
2015 jeep grand Cherokee, the passenger side headrest deployed while driving, I understand that others have had this problem and there-??s a recall for either passenger side or driver side but my jeep does not come up on the recalls. Please advise I would hate to have the driver side headrest deployed while I-??m driving. Thank you
Oil pump assembly. The problem was confirmed by a independent service center. As I was driving down the highway at 40/45 mph, I heard a knocking sound under the hood. I pulled into a shoping center got out to go into a store came back out turned on the jeep and the engine light came on. Drive home called my mechanic. He said don't drive it have it towed in, it might be the oil pump or power train modular. It was the oil pump. My mechanic said I was the forth person to bring my jeep in with this problem within the last 2 weeks

I can hear My Jeep clicking into every gear and making a ticking noise this is because of the faulty shifter in these jeeps. Also the computer isn-??t working correctly software is to old to update.
All the door hinges need replaced. Very difficult to open and close the doors. I called Jeeps headquarters and they gave me no info on this matter. The replaced hinges are$100 apiece. I believe this a safety concern, not bring able to open the doors easily.
Driver's side headrest deployment without a collision while driving on a highway going 65 miles per hour. Could have caused an accident at high speeds. Instant head, dazed, and neck pain. No warning lights or noises.
The vehicle shifter design on this vehicle enables the shifting of the vehicle into an undesired gear without driver knowledge. I have shifted into reverse countless times when trying to shift to park or neutral when trying to shift to drive. I was attempting to hookup a trailer at a slight incline when I needed to adjust the vehicle slightly. I attempted to shift to drive but went to neutral. When I removed my food from the gas I rolled back into the trailer. This damaged my vehicle and could have serious consequences if a person is between the trailer and vehicle. This shifter need to be replaced before someone is injured or killed.

On Nov 18,2021 I took my car in for recall issues that had to be fixed. I had never had this issues until I fixed the day I took my car in. On Dec 23,2021 I was leaving town for the holidays when all of a sudden my car stopped and it would run I was on the freeway by the way! Cars were going next to at about 60-70mph thankfully I was able to get out the freeway on to the ramp. When I shifted my car in park it started walking forward..!! This was a recall supposedly the dealership fixed. This became a danger hazard for me and mg family. The tow truck picked it up and we dropped it off at the dealership. They said it was just the radiator, the bumper and this other thing. But now it left the repair shop and they are telling me my transmission is bad it-??s no longer working and I need to buy and put a new one in. This is horrible. It makes me think about buying another jeep. Me and my family could have gotten seriously injured!
Was driving down the road it was raining no other vehicles around BRAKING! came on the screen and the brakes were applied without me doing it. The second time it happened brakes locked up on interstate for a couple seconds then back to normal. If anyone would have been behind us we would have been rear ended. It happened 2 times within an hour. I will be getting it looked at by the dealership as soon as I can.
Hello I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. 5.7 ltr V8 engine. I recently bought this vehicle back in 04/21. I have noticed that the leather dashboard is bubbling and starting to lift and peel. I have looked on Jeep Forums and found out this is a very common issue which is not a recall/warranty. The cost to fix is approximately $3,000. There are plenty of other complaints and this needs to be addressed as it soon can become a safety hazard for driver impairment as well. I have called Jeep and their customer service team and was not helped.
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!!!
My wife was driving her vehicle on the highway at 60 mph and heard a loud pop in her vehicle and came to realize the back portion of her panoramic sunroof spontaneously exploded. She did not have her sunroof open at the time and the roof shade was closed thank God. There were no other cars around her when it happened and nothing that could have fallen on her sunroof due to her driving on an open highway. If her shade was open, it could've have been very dangerous if there were people in the back seat and getting hit with glass falling on them. Plus the initial shock and noise could've have made her get in an accident causing harm to others or herself.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 3.6 pentastar. Bought the vehicle 10-2020 and had issue with running hot due to faulty electric radiator cooling fan and thermostat and housing failure. Repaired the thermostat and hosing at local Jeep dealership. 2 weeks later, radiator cooling fan froze and ceased operation, replaced by independent repair shop. Within a couple the oil cooler and filter housing adapter developed a crack causing a catastrophic oil leak.
