When I was driving straight down the street going about 35 mph, I heard a loud explosions like noise and then my Jeep became disabled. I took the vehicle to the shop and I was told that the vehicle was totaled and that the body and frame of the vehicle had completely separated itself from the vehicle. I have been told by several people who have inspected my vehicle including the dealership and insurance company that this is a manufacturer defect to my vehicle. Everyone who has inspected the vehicle has stated they have never in life seen a vehicle come apart the way my Jeep has and it should have never happened. The dealership and I have been trying since October 6, 2020 to get mophar and fca customer care to take responsibility for the vehicle and send an engineer out to inspect the vehicle for recall. The dealership has explained to me that the vehicle has slowly been separating itself from the body due to a manufacturing defect.

The leather dashboard starting to buckle about 2 years ago and has multiple buckles across the dashboard. It has begun to roll up on the edges of the dashmboard along the front windshield. This is making it difficult to have full view of the road.

I have two major issues. The first being that the leather on my dash has completely shriveled up into weird bumps and looks horrible. I'm not sure what would of caused it because it is something that I have never seen before. The second thing is that my back right suspension is messed up. The back left side of my Jeep sags when I put it in park and as it lowers into park level.

The paint on the inside of the hood is bubbling. I believe it is due to iron contamination from the factory. It didn't start bubbling bad until recently. Jeep has had this problem numerous times and ive seen hoods replaced over this. However, my factory warranty has since expired and the manufacturer refused to help me. I wax and polish the car annually so this is completely surprising to

The paint along the top of the car windshield is bubbling up, rusting, peeling across the top of the windshield line. It continues progressively to get worse all along the top of the windshield. We had a few car repair centers look at the car- they had to have multiple people come out and look at it because they had never seen anything like it. They said the paint was extremely thick on the roof and along the windshield line. It should never be that thick. They said this should be fixed in a manufacturer recall as it is a manufacturing defect and is probably affecting other cars painted at the same timeframe as mine. The paint issue continues to get worse. The car repair estimators said the roof and surrounding windshield paint need to be replaced or this will continue to corrode. This car has never been in an accident or had the windshield replaced.

On Aug. 29 2017 my airbag light came on. I took the vehicle to mullane motors in lockport NY, for repair. I was told a side impact air bag sensor had shorted out and needed replacing, and spent $332.57 to have it fixed. When I arrived to pick up my Jeep, I was told that the same sensor was still 'shorting out' and that standard operating procedure was to replace the occupant restraint control module. I asked when that could be completed and was told that the 'part is unavailable, ' in any way shape or form, and that it was unknown when or if at all this part would ever be available. I telphoned Fiat Chrysler Corp in auburn hills, mi concerning this issue, and was told the same thing, that the part is 'currently unavailable and on national back order' was given a case number, and was told I would be called back in 24 to 48 hours. No one called me back. I telephoned the company again a week later and was again told someone would call me back in 24 to 48 hours. It has now been a week, and I have not heard from Chrysler. At this time, my airbag light is still on, and it is indicated in my owners manual that my airbags may not function in a collision, which I feel makes my vehicle unsafe to drive.

On June 24, 2016, between 1:30 pm and 2 pm, I was driving from brentwood ca to vallejo ca on hwy 780 w and after turning a curve on the freeway which sloped down towards curtola parkway, I applied the brakes at about 30 miles per hour after I emerged from the overpass which was at least 5 car lengths before the cars ahead of me which was stopped at a red traffic light. However, the Jeep continued to roll even though I pressed on the brakes to the floor board. When I realized the Jeep did not stop, after checking for vehicles on the left from the rear view mirror, I swerved to the left to avoid hitting the truck in front of me, but I still hit the left corner of the Nissan truck in front of me but the truck did not hit the vehicle in front of him. I damaged the right corner of the front of my Jeep. The Jeep is unsafe because the brakes failed and would have caused a fatal accident to me, my three passengers, and other vehicles had I been travelling at a high speed. I complied with all available recall repairs including the brake recall in 2014 and all the suggested Chrysler maintenance on the Jeep. I reported the accident to my insurance geico and to Chrysler.

Failure of automatic rear tailgate and associated obstruction/safety sensor mechanisms. Tailgate opens to within an inch or two of full height then silently starts to fall back at an increasing velocity and slams shut. Pressing the control button to stop the fall does not work nor does the rapid drop stop when encountering an obstruction. When tailgate first started to reverse direction I reached in to press the button to stop or reverse it and it continued downward and pinned my arm and caused me to wrench my back. Had anyone leaned into the back as it was going up, it would have silently slammed back down on their head or neck resulting in serious injury as the tailgate is quite heavy and quickly gains substantial momentum and force. Since the tailgate never reaches full height it appears that safety interlocks do not get activated/triggered hence it becomes a dead drop. It appears that the cause is a loss of pressure in the right rear strut, though other electronic factors may be considered. This is a very dangerous defect that has the potential to cause serious or even a fatal injury. A repair is scheduled at the dealer on May 25. Other incidents of this type have been reported on google search.

On the first of March, my wife and daughter were about to start their day in the usual way. She opened the garage door and used her key fob to remote start our 2012 Jeep gc limited ( around 42K miles) ( factory installed remote starter) she walked away for less than 4 minutes and returned to see smoke coming from front passenger side of Jeep. She called for me, and pushed the aux button to be sure the vehicle was off. I came running and despite my attempts to open the hood and beat back what quickly escalated into open flames I retreated to ensure my family's safety and to be sure the emergency responders were called. Thankfully I was able to remove some potential fuel for the fire by removing our second car from the garage (also a Chrysler) and securing the door between the house and garage. Luck intervened when the flames destroyed the garage door assembly causing the garage door to fall and help remove some oxygen from the fire. Eventually first responders arrived and were able to knock down the fire with foam. Later the firemen pushed the Jeep into the driveway to ensure it was doused. Though the remote start may not be directly responsible for whatever arc sparked the fire, it's my belief that its use contributed directly to the conditions that conflagrated the situation. If the wiring harness is otherwise suspect I would not be surprised considering recent revelations on related models. The vehicle was just removed from the site today 3/9/2016 to copart facility, by insurance company for further investigation into the source of the fire.

We purchased a new Jeep Grand Cherokee with 5 miles on it. Upon leaving the dealership the engine began making a strange noise. We brought the car back to the dealer and the mechanic told us to leave the car. It's 5 days later and all we know so far is that they have removed the front end of the transmission and they are still working on it. We don't have the car. Additionally, the front driver's side door was not flush with the body of the car. We asked them to look at the door to see if it was not installed properly. They offered to have the body shop bend the door.
