Jeep Grand Cherokee Change Vehicle

“Recall for publicized trouble shifting into park. Fixed with reprogramming, without expense to me. But I had early on noted that I needed to pay attention to this and therefore had no problems with it”

“It doesn't shift easily into gear. I struggle finding the gear I want”

“SLOPPY SHIFTER. GENERAL PROBLEM ON MOST JEEPS”

“I have to look and be sure it is in park”

“Transmission periodically sticks in first gear and has to corrected by use of shifting paddle or shifter. It's been in the shop more times than I can count. Jeep Customercare did all they could. The problem has never been solved although it appears to be associated with the left (-) paddle. The lease is up in a year and I've decided to just live with it”

“There was a recall where the car could roll if not properly placed in park while off. This was proven to have killed people”

“This is a poorly designed gear shift. It does not move easily or safely thru the gears. The whole design & function is problematical & dangerous. Even after the update it is still a bad shifter & requires extra effort & vigilance to be sure you have it in the correct gear”

“Suffered the well-known problem with uncertain shifting between "park", "reverse", "drive", and "neutral". Had the safety-recall performed and while the problem still remains, the safety issues seem to have been eliminated. This problem does not "go away" with operator experience”

“Poor shifter design. Hard to find gear. Even after getting used to it, can't find reverse from drive if in a hurry. Also hate heater controls- must take eyes off the rode and read multiple screens to change vents, defrost, etc”

“Transmission would hesitate between 1st and 2nd gear”

“Would not stay in proper gear when downshifting”

“COULD NOT ALWAYS SHIFT INTO GEAR EASISLY. WOULD HAVE TO MOVE SHIFT LEVER SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT IN THE RIGHT GEAR”

“Randomly gets stuck in low gear”

“vehicle experienced a jolt or bump when shifting from 1st to 2nd to 3rd gear. No issues with shifting 3rd thru 8th gear. Most common at slower speeds in stop and go traffic”

“1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd shifts are harsh until the transmission warms up”

“shift hard from 2nd to 3rd both up and down shifting”

“A computer module failed that controlled shifting. Replaced under warranty”

“See previous note”

“Dealer had to reprogram the transmission because it would come out of park and roll. Recall”

“Wouldn't stay in park”

“Have had transmission in 3 times, each time they do a software update. Now we are getting bad gas milage and transmission still hesitates at times. Still unhappy”

“Uncertain transmission shifting safety recall apparently involved reprogramming of five electronic control modules (computers) in the vehicle to insure "roll-away" possibility was eliminated, but none of this resulted in more positive shift lever operation of the transmission. Also, the paddle shifters do not operated in the same manner as other "industry-standard" vehicles, which I think could and should have been changed with all that reprogramming”

“Transmission valve body module was defective at delivery & replaced at 150 miles”

“Engine shifts down or up at inappropriate times giving a jerky ride and increased anxiety that care will not perform correctly when needed. Company states car "is fine and that is just the 8 step transmission doing it's job". Right”

“Many Mopar vehicles were recalled this past year due to a potentially serious issue with the transmission selection knob. There were issues reported with the transmission not being put in park despite indicating that it was in park. This issue resulted in the death of at least one individual. Despite the dealership stating that it was a short 15 minute computer flash, they had to keep the vehicle for an entire day which was rather inconvenient, but less inconvenient than death”

“There is a ghost in the machine in these vehicles. Chrysler is moving too fast developing poorly designed & poorly functioning electronics that create huge problems for drivers. Once the system screws up you may have to pull over & turn the car off to remedy it. This is not always safe or advisable to do in certain situations, it also is a huge distraction to drivers & I expect accidents to result. I would not have bought the car if I knew the electronics were this poorly designed & dysfunctiona”

“Intermittently but infrequently the screen goes blank. Often afterward I must re-pair the cell phone to u connect”

“Display screen simply shuts off, then reboots. Screen sometimes doesn't want to load”

“Uconnect only connects sometimes”

“Constant error messages, system freezing, Bluetooth music skipping on any connected device, errors reading SD cards, errors reading USB sticks, constantly having to re-pair iPhone and Android phones, radio sound drops out. Dealer has performed two software re-installs and upgrades but problems persist. I won't buy another vehicle with a UConnect system”

“SD card slot doesn't recognize any SD card above 8GB”

“Inaccurate, the map data was several years out of date when the vehicle was new, and there are no updates available for it. I would advise everyone not to buy the in-dash navigation system. Use the FREE apps available for your phone, I have found them to be far more accurate, so much so that I often use my phone to navigate instead of the vehicle's navigation system”

“Froze up or went to a completely different state while driving. Intermittent so Dealership was not able to diagnose the problem and eventually ended up having to replace the entire system which included Nav, Radio, Phone and all other items connected to that screen”

“On two separate occasions, the navigation map became disoriented. It reflected the vehicle current location hundreds of miles away from the actual location - not on an actual highway. The system was reprogrammed by the dealer and the problem has not reoccurred in approximately 12 months”

“Constantly received a message stating that I am in an area with unverified map data despite the fact that I am on State Highways etc and navigation continues. Map data base is from 2013 with no update available”

“The gps directions can be totally misleading. it will send you off in directions that are not accurate”

“sound quality in the car is fine, but sound quality for those on the other line is poor (hard for them to understand). Also, phone will frequently have issues connecting with the car system”

“At odd times the phone and u connect need to be re-paired without warning”

“Satellite radio (Sirius) works only intermitently”

“Connectivity issues to Sirius XM”

“Voice commands react intermittently.....just used the same system in a Chrysler 200 and it worked just fine....they'll have to fix it”

“Does not play the music at the correct speed. It drags”

“Panoramic sunroof creaks at times - depends on temparature”

“In the dash”

“Rattle from the sun roof”

“Rattle in left front quarter from engine vibration at low rpms”

“Clicking or tapping noise when Jeep is started when engine is cold. There is also a second noise which I am unsure how to describe”

“Very noisy road noise. Very uncomfortable ride - feel evry bump in the road. (I have owned three other Gr. Jeep Cherokees and haven't had this problem.) I returned to dealer, but was not satisfied with solution offered. Having a history of Jeep l”
