Since I had the exhaust emissions update done, my Jeep has an extremely long lag in acceleration. It takes a good 2-3 seconds after stepping on the throttle, before the car moves forward. I was almost hit head on in traffic on a highway because of the timing of not accelerating properly. This was never an issue before the exhaust update.

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.

Vehicle exhibited what felt like a hard downshift from second to first gear. Jolt was concerning enough that driver had to apply additional brake pressure when coming to a full stop. Technician at repair facility discovered that jolt felt by operator was actually engine moving significantly due to defective hydraulic engine isolators (engine mounts mopar P/N 68252522aa). Mounts were replaced and problem no longer detected. Internet research reveals that this is a known issue with the WK2 model of the Jeep and typically occurs approximately four (4) years after date of manufacture. Operator's concern is that inadequately or unsecured engine shift could cause collision or loss of vehicle control. Manufacturer apparently does not feel this defective/unreliable component design is a safety issue.

My check engine light came on. I brought it to my Jeep dealer.they found code P0302 and said the left engine head had to be replaced as well as #2 fuel injector.I had just over 50000 mi. The head was covered under warranty, the fuel injector cost me 415$. Jeep should have covered this cost. Jeep reimbursement department denied me reimbursement.what can be done to recover my cost?

Emission check engine light for small evaporation emission system leak P0456 fault code. Also, fuel tank wont fill with fuel at higher nozzle flow rates... possibly due to tank check valve. The check engine light will disqualify the emission test for the vehicle and prevent obtaining a licence plate renewal. The check valve will only allow a slow fill using a manual grasp of the nozzle lever to restrict the flow to the smallest amount possible. This appears to be a common problem and needs a recall the refill is of course, is done in park, at a gas station. The check engine light occurs at startup.

While driving at highway speed my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee eco diesel started to make a rumbling noise, the oil pressure light came on within a minute the engine shut off still at highway speed. When I pulled over to the shoulder the car was stuck in gear, would not restart and had a small oil leak. The car was towed to the nearest dealer who determined that the car had engine damage and the engine needs to be replaced. Car has less than 33,000 miles and still has original tires, and brakes. All oil change services were performed as suggested. Car was purchased new from dealer August 4th, 2015.

The vehicle would not start. It has a push button ignition switch start. It locked up and it could not be towed because the tow truck driver could not get it in natural to move it. I was stranded for 12 hours with nothing to eat or drink before I got help. All electrical systems shut down and I was alone in a very bad area at the time. Unless the vehicle started it would do nothing and could not be towed. Jeep needs a recall on this very unsafe system. They should be made put in an override switch or be able to start the vehicle with a key. I am 76 years old and I was going to start on a 500 mile trip that day. Very good thing it happen when it did. The vehicle would have been dead along the road with no help. All push button starts need a backup to get out of this safety hazard. I unlocked the door get in and pushed the start button and nothing. All kind of lights lit up on the instrument panel and displayed a lot of things that would not work. The transmission would not go in or out of gear.

While driving at highway speed on a 2-lane road, our Jeep Grand Cherokee ecodiesel began to lose power. The lights on the instrument cluster began going off seemingly randomly, and the vehicle had to be quickly pulled over and put in a safe condition on the side of the road as the engine stalled. The engine would not restart. After 2 months of troubleshooting with Chrysler engineering, our shop believes they have found the issue, which is a faulty tone wheel in the drivetrain, at where the engine couples to the transmission. The tone wheel lost about 1/4" of encoded magnetic material, and this made the vehicle inoperable, even while at highway speed. This failure threw no codes to the computer for the technician to interpret, and the only symptom is that the engine would not fire, even though, as a diesel, there is no spark ignition system.

I had my Jeep for less than a year and one day, for no reason, it just shut off. I took it to Jeep and they said the wrong oil was used in the previous oil change. So they put oil in the truck. A couple of months later and it's doing the same thing. It's a disaster waiting to happen. I can't take a chance on driving down the road and the vehicle just shuts off. The vehicle was in motion each time.

I was traveling up interstate 95 just passed exit 26 in Connecticut. As I approached exit 27 a a vehicle in the exit only lane merged into the slow lane in front of me. I proceeded to then accelerate around the vehicle that had crossed in front of me and immediately as I accelerated the vehicle began to accelerate uncontrollably to an unsafe speed. I shifted the car into neutral and braked and steered appropriately. As my vehicle began to slow I then proceeded to shift the car back into drive hoping that the issue would be resolved. While my vehicle was a neutral I tapped the gas pedal in hopes of if it was jammed or stock it would come loose and I would be able to control the acceleration of the vehicle. Unfortunately the pedal did not come on stock as I proceeded to drive I realize that my speed was dropping to an unsafe rate while being on an interstate I proceeded to shift my car back into drive only to have the pedal that was still pressed to the floor accelerate the vehicle uncontrollable to again in unsafe speed. After I proceeded to stomp on the throttle in hopes of loosening it from whatever it was that was causing it to be stuck in the open position, the pedal finally returned to its on stock position with a loud bang. I don't proceeded to steer immediately off the highway at the next available exit and turn the vehicle off...updated 04/20/17..updated 05/09/17 the consumer stated the floor mat closest to the accelerator was trimmed, but the failure recurred. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure.

We purchased our car in October 2015 and recently our engine light came on. We took the truck to barbera's to find out the problem and was told we need a new thermostat and we just can't imagine how or why we would need that with the car being new with only 18K miles on it.. we mostly use the vehicle to get my husband to and from work...so it's mostly highway driven 5 days a week.

I purchased a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.0 L ecodiesel engine in September of 2015. In less than a year from the date of purchase, the vehicle had major repairs including a complete engine replacement and an exhaust system replacement. Based on multiple service issues with vehicles with this diesel engine, my local Jeep dealership does not stock or sell the Grand Cherokee with this engine anymore. Fiat Chrysler America has been reluctant to acknowledge any problems or be of any assistance in this matter with the exception of "standard warranty repairs."

I've contacted my dealer at ray brandt Chrysler Dodge Jeep located at 1660 westbank expy, harvey, la 70058 in reference to the important safety recall of the "auto park" feature. I explained to them that my vehicle may roll away, striking and injuring me, my wife, or baby even though the vehicle indicates it is in park. The employee advised that there is nothing that he can do. I then stated, "so, I'm am just suppose to hope that my vehicle does not slip out of gear?" I felt that this was a bit ridiculous and extremely unprofessional. I am unpleased with the way I was treated and the outcome of my service request. This needs to get rectified immediately or I will have to take further action. Thank you for your assistance in advance.
