Grand Cherokee

After a complete stop and placing the vehicle in "park", turning off the engine and departing the car, the car comes out of park and into neutral and starts rolling. The stability control light comes on. Sometimes the instrument panel goes blank while driving.

Grand Cherokee

  • 28,000 miles
When moving the gear shift all the up from drive to park the car is not always in park but reverse. This has happened multiple times and the car will begin moving backward when I take my foot of the brake. It seems like the computer is not quick enough to recognize the movement of the shifter. Very dangerous but now I am aware of it.

A week prior to the major issue the vehicle was showing signs of mechanical problems. These problems included the wipers turning on when they were in the off position, simultaneously the radio cut out (this happened several times that day). The next day while driving to work at 6:30am the interior lights on the dash and doors blinked on and off several times. I contacted the dealership that day but was not able to get an appointment right away. Four days after this all started I was driving the vehicle going about 40 mph and slowed down to about 10-15 mph to make a right turn into a parking lot, I went to give the car gas to complete my turn and realized that the car had lost power. I coasted into a parking spot and looked down at the evic screen to realize the car was in neutral without my doing and would not restart itself. Many mechanical lights were popping up on the evic screen, which I took pictures of for records. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership that day.however I am scared that if they "fix" it, it could happen again. On Monday 3/16/15: The dealership told me that the wiper/radio issue was fixed with an "update" but the master tech that works for the dealership requested to drive my car home with him to make sure the problems are solved. I have never heard of a tech taking home a car before but I agreed to let him since I feel I am at the hands of Jeep mercy in fixing this issue. I am very displeased that a jgc depending on the model worth $40-70K has many complaints loaded against them with little end in sight of the company wanting to resolve these complaints. I refuse to put my safety and others safety in jeopardy! this company knows something is wrong with their cars and they do nothing about it but keep saying its a "software update". I have read the forums and many other people have similar issues, its not just "software".

Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • 300 miles
I returned this Jeep twice to dealer letting know that the transmission had a hard bang between shifting, they continue to say that this normal.the service manager says it because of the electronic system, I told them that I have driving for over forty years and have heard of such thing and this sounds more like a torque converter issue not a computer, needless to say they continue to say nothing is wrong. I am in the process of scheduling another appointment because it continues to get worse.

The 2015 I had just purchased with the V-6 and 8 speed transmission due to my 2014 Dodge durango with the same engine and transmission being bought back by Chrysler, is exhibiting the same unsafe shifting and stalling conditions.
