Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel, after V08 recall (diesel exhaust issue), car now will lag, and fail to accelerate at lower speeds under load. Acts as if it will stall. Dangerous in that it fails to respond to acceleration input under these conditions, usually around 20-25 miles per hour. When this occurs, car makes two very short and faint buzzing noises from the engine compartment. Car did not do this prior to the V08 diesel recall software fix. This is an ongoing problem, car has been to shop several times, and everything checks out as being normal.

After 3.5 years of no problems, our Jeep has been back to the dealer service every month since August 2018.currently at service since 1/14/19, 15 business days. In August: Pulled into a parking spot and the wipers started, could not turn them off different messages flashed 'no bus', and various other msgs. Check engine light was on. Took in to dealer the next day. Recalls were performed. We felt, our problems had been solved. They were not. September: Arrived at my son's school 7:15 a.M. wipers started, chiming started, messages flashed, tire pressure flashed. Turned engine off, restarted problem solved. October: On baltimore beltway with my son's carpool in the car, we were in rush hour traffic crawling along... wipers start, chiming, messages flashing 'service electronic throttle control' and others... then car started lurching and lunging somehow got it limping into the dealer... podded it and it threw over 480 codes. In service for 10 days. Alternator replaced, did not help. November: Arrived home after an 1.5 hour trip, chiming started, messages flashed. But this time as I reversed into driveway, car threw itself into park. December: Again driving car pool of young teenagers, exited baltimore beltway, wipers start, chiming, messages, 'service electronic throttle', 'auto park disabled', service shifter, etc. Engine revving but we're barely moving. There was nowhere to safely pullover and I have no idea if any of the exterior lights are working. I had to make a lady turn to get out of traffic. We barely made it. This last episode was the last straw. Our dealer's service department has been nothing but helpful. They have, with my permission driven the vehicle with diagnostic equipment hooked up, they've put over 600miles on my vehicle, but I don't care because I'd like it fixed. They've tried to replicate for 15+ days w/no success. I do not feel safe in this car.

I have a serious safety issue with my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have brought it to the dealer for this problem more than once and they are not able to identify any issues with the vehicle. They have not been able to replicate my experience. In short on a few occasions while driving at low speed the vehicle seems to change gear and accelerate. I would best describe it as a surge. This past Saturday (12/08/18), while coming to a stop a three way intersection my Jeep accelerated without warning. I already had been depressing the brake when the surge happened and since I have experienced this before I was able to bring the vehicle to a stop. I was lucky I did not accelerate into two way traffic. I was not so lucky in December of 2017. I was stopped at a traffic light (my wife and adult son were in the car to witness this). When the light changed, I took my foot off the brake and my car suddenly lurched forward. I jammed down hard on the brake but my car made contact with the car in front of me resulting in a fender bender. It could have been worse. I experienced this phenomenon one other time while driving along and stopping at a light. Fortunately, there were no other vehicles nearby. As you might imagine, this has destroyed my confidence in this vehicle. I am afraid that this will happen again and may cause a more serious accident!

I put my car in park in the garage, got out of my car and it started to back up on me, bending the door back and loosening the hinge but getting caught on the wall. I was able to jump back in and step on the brake, the car shifter had slipped back into reverse. I had my car fixed as the door was unsteady. I then received a recall on that particular part and sent in all my information but was denied coverage. I am very angry about this and request a supervisor to call me. I had the shift fixed at a local Jeep dealership since then.

My Jeep shifts rough while increasing speed. It jerks and hesitates when shifting gears. Also the gear shifter moves very easily to other gears I.e. N, R, D while driving or even parked.

I've reached out several times for the last 2 years with my transmission issues with my Jeep. I was told for the majority of the 2 years that nothing could be done to fix it or that it was just the way the car drives. After getting Chrysler/Jeep involved at the dealership and having a case manager who was absolutely useless, somehow after 2 years they magically realized there was something wrong with the transmission. They had the car for over a week and when I got it back, it was about 50% better. I assumed that was as good as it gets since Jeep doesn't really fix anything. As of the last week or so the car is now worse than when I took it in. It hard shifts from first to second gear then it hard shifts down from 3rd to 2nd when stopped and then stutters forward. The shifting is erratic and when stopping and then needing to accelerate the car just hesitates like it doesn't know what to do. Which has caused me to almost get hit by another car several times. It is a liability not only to myself but to other people. It hesitates on the interstate when accelerating and left me in a situation where I was stuck between two semi trucks and the car basically stalled out. It should not be driven or on the road. Im going to be killed in the car. I do not trust that Jeep knows how to fix the car or even has a fix for the issue at this point. Ive done research and it seems that its a known issue with the 2015 transmissions. I have given Jeep several chances to make the situation right and now I;M done dealing with it. Now its a matter of how much value Jeep puts on a human life. How many more lawsuits will Jeep have because of this vehicle before something is done.
