My Jeep eats up thermostats too often. I have had it for 3 years and had it replaced 4 times. The last time, one year ago, it took the repair shop a week to finally install one that would hold. It needs it again. I also smell something burning when I accelerate onto the freeway since owning it. My engines fan runs high aIl the time also. I read many complaints online about people having overheating problems and temp fluctuations In the same year vehicle. This seems to be an issue and I can't afford to keep paying to have the thermostat replaced yearly. Last time last year they replaced the radiator with it since melted rubber around thermostat could of gotten into radiator cogging it. This jeep seems to be a lemon with all that has gone wrong since I bought it. I feel this issue needs to be looked into. I dont feel safe driving it anymore specially with the burning smell I get when I accelerate onto the freeway. It almost smells like wiring but not sure. It not a distinct smell. I entered only one incident that occurred with this issue as one is all I could submit. A few days ago was the recent but 2 more besides that. Thank you

The car keeps overheating. I received warning lights for the sensors to check the no flow indicator. In August I took to a mechanic and paid 1200 to have a hose repair for the cooling system. Lights went out for 4 days and problems again causing the car to completely shut off on my way home and I live in Volcano ca mountains no phone service and was stuck until morning. The car just says no flow wipe sensors. No car does not start without overheating quickly

While traveling at freeway speeds the engine suddenly died. The vehicle was taken to an independent shop where they confirmed the cause was a connecting rod failure. They commented this is a common failure in the 2014-2016 Jeep grand Cherokee eco diesels along with the same model year dodge ram 1500s. There was no warning signs of this issue and the independent shop stated they have not been able to find a root cause as similar to our case the engine had plenty of oil in it to prevent this issue. During this event I also reviewed the engine temp and oil temps all were well within the normal operating temps. This put others and my own life at risk as we lost complete power. Fortunately I was on a straight stretch and in the far lane so I was able to safely coast to a stop. This could lead to a very different outcome. The component has not been inspected by police or insurance agents as it-??s been claimed this is not a covered component under previous FCA extended warranties for a faulty emission system.

Known issue with engine design that could lead to catastrophic failure. The rocker arms fail and gouge the cam, causing catastrophic engine failure, if not addressed as soon as symptoms occur. We caught the knocking noise early and were able to have both sides replaced for $3800 on a vehicle with relatively low miles. This has been a noticed issue and to my knowledge, the replacement parts were redesigned to correct the issue.

The vehicle has been making this electrical noise inside the vehicle. The vehicle upon accelerating, would hesitate to go then jerk. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic technician. It was suggested that the vehicle TCM be replaced. It was replaced and the jerking still exist. The vehicle out of nowhere started having these unexpected electrical issues. This caused the cooling system fan to not work. I ordered a new cooling system fan and had it replaced/installed. However, these issues along with other safety concerning issues have continued to occur. This vehicle can cause significant serious injury or injuries to the owner or others. The vehicle would lock up occasionally. This model jeep (2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7L) has some safety concerns. This need to be fixed immediately before it cause catastrophic damages/injuries to others.

The component that failed is the EGR cooler. It-??s available upon request for inspection. This component can crack and cause the car to start on fire and it-??s currently cracked causing the car to not be able to be driven. The recall occurred in 2020 and I was told by three different dealerships including the one that fixed it foxchrysler in Canada and they all stated the recall had been remedied. The vehicle was taken to four separate mechanics for inspection. The warning lamps that are illuminated are the check engine light, service AWD, and service electric throttle control module and the code comes back as the EGR cooler when the vehicle is ran through the diagnostic system. They first appeared July 19th 2024. I called the dealership I bought the truck from who informed me the whole recall wasn-??t fixed and to contact an authorized dealership in my area to get it fixed. (Motor Cars of Lansing, MI) I spoke with the dealership who they referred me to (Griffin Jeep and Chrysler S 27th street Milwaukee WI) they informed me that the recall was marked as complete effective 03/31/2021 and to call the dealership they fixed the recall in Canada and see if it had a warranty. Spoke with a rep at Fox Chrysler in Canada who informed me the part only had a two year warranty and would-??ve expired 03/31/2023. My car is a used car that only had a one year warranty and I would have to pay for this part that was recalled out of pocket that could run me anywhere from $700-$10,000 which is way more than the car is worth

My Jeep Diesel Grand Cherokee engine and oil cooler overheats. This has progressively gotten worse. I have taken it to my local dealer and they can't and honestly don't try very hard to figure out the problem. I have taken it to local auto shops and they have replaced several parts but no improvements have been made. I have been told this Jeep needs an oil cooler but Jeep discontinued making these for my year. I have spent thousands of dollars to attempt to fix this and nothing has worked. This vehicle has left me stranded on the side of a busy highway with my family. I do not get warning lights, I just notice the arrow creeping dangerously close to the red marker before it completely blows the radiator. I cautiously drive slow going uphill when I am towing which is also a danger with cars passing me swiftly. Jeep knows this is a problem with the Diesel motor but they have not offered a fix for it. I can't sell it to anyone because of the known problem. I am completely stuck with a lame vehicle.

The crankshaft sensor tone wheel is damaged. I found that there was a recall on this item on our make/model and year of our Jeep. It's recall number W68/NHTSA 20V-475 and W58/NHTSA 20V-475. The dealership is refusing to follow the recall and make the repair and quoted us over $3,000 out of pocket to fix a known and recalled problem with our vehicle. I'm not understanding how it is legal for them to refuse to fix a known problem on a vehicle that isn't outside the parameters in terms of years old, or years since the issuance of the recall. We have spoken with multiple people who simply tell us they don't know why, but our vehicle isn't covered under the recall. Can you please point me in the direction as far as next steps or do we just need to hire our own legal council to have this problem addressed and rectified? Our Jeep is currently at the Dealership located at 12410 E 136th Ave, Brighton CO 80601 Phone number 303-654-1940. They did the trouble shooting and can confirm that this is the problem. They were also aware of the recall and unsure as to why Jeep was saying it wasn't covered.

I was driving home from dinner and while driving I got a notification on the dashboard and then few moments later it locked up and everything started turning off. Incuding the radio, AC but not the car. The car would not drive once I got it on the side of the road. The car would not turn off due to not being able to place car in park. It was stuck in drive. My husband had to come over and put his foot on brake and take over the wheel. He then hit the power button for 5 seconds and it went into park and turned off. We called a tow company to take it to dealership to get fixed. We seen we had some recalls so we asked if that was the issue they said yes and ordered parts to fix. Days and weeks went on got car back and when I drove home my car I will say does not feel safe for me to be in nor be on the road. I had smoke inside my car where battery is when on side of road which one day will be where my kids are. Also they said nothing was wrong with alternator but when on side of road I could smell burnt alternator. They said was fine and recall wasn't needed. I do not feel safe at all nor does my husband feel safe driving the car. Dealership we bought from never told us about the recalls when we bought in 2020, and now this dealership saying it doesn't need to be done we do not feel the car is safe to be on road and will be fire hazard down road.

My oil cooler has failed and it caused oil to mix with my coolant and also causing a bad coolant leak. It over heats to car and my warranty will not cover ANYTHING! This is a major problem with diesel jeeps and the oil cooler needs to be recalled also. It can catch on fire and is a real safety hazard. I-??ve tried multiple times to fix the oil cooler and leak. Jeep will not fix my recall at all. A recall that is on the vehicle and can cause a fire!

Oil filter housing failure, this caused oil to be expelled all over the engine compartment. The oil could have hit hot exhaust and caused a fire, engine lost power due to no oil. Taken to Jeep dealer and they told me this is a common issue on this style motor. No symptoms prior to part failure.
