This vehicle has allegedly been repaired by the dealership on friday for the same issue i had today. vehicle keeps jumping out of drive and goes into neutral. this is a big safety issue. while i was trying to turn left the vehicle jumped into neutral leaving me to face traffic coming towards me. i had to press the brake pedal then put the vehicle back into drive to pull away. thank god i was only traveling at a low speed and the other vehicles had time to slow down before hitting me. either jeep /chrysler or my dealership is lying when they say the vehicle had been fixed! *tr

With vehicle in park, with foot on the brake, pushing button to either turn the vehicle on or off causes the vehicle to lunge forward. intermittent occurences, unable to reproduce for the mechanic. has happened with this vehicle 6 times over an 8 week period.

As of yesterday i have had my 2014 grand cherokee for 1 year. i bought it with 6 miles on it brand new. since then i have been back to the dealer 16 times for numerous issues. 4 of which was related to the faulty transmission. there were 3 flash updates for the transmission and none of the addressed he problem. the rough shifting, jerking of the vehicle and extremely high running rpm's must be doing further damage to the power train. there is no smooth shifting from 1-2-3 nor is there from 3-2-1. getting on and off the highway is always interesting. trying to get on the highway the vehicle feels bogged down and takes some time to shift to the next gear. you are giving it gas and it just is stuck in 3-4 or 5th gear and you are putting on the highway trying to get on and then out of no where the transmission unleashes and the car just takes off. getting off the highway on an exit ramp any time of slow down (fast or gradually) the car just whines and the rpm's are way in the red, since the transmission will not downshift properly. again brought it to the dealer that sold it to me for all the flash updates and another visit to say it is still not operating properly and they told me to run it in sport mode or turn off the eco button. well what good is giving you the option for a eco button and can't even use it....not to mention it really doesn't address the underlining problem with the faulty transmission. very frustrated with he car, jeep and the dealer due to their lack of support. this is a well known issue on this new released vehicle and no one wants to fix it until someone unfortunately gets hurt from faulty operation of the power train. i now have about 10,000 miles and still like from day one i am having all the same transmission problems. *tr

Since i bought this vehicle when one turns a corner and the paddle shifter is in advertently touched the car can drop into any gear and can slow so that one stands a risk of being rear ended as has narrowly happened to me . there is a real need to prevent this dangerous behavior to have a preventer mechanism of some sort to prevent this by reprogramming the software or by mechanical means by installing a switch of some sort that must be separately engaged to transfer control of gear to the paddle shifter. *tt

Bought new in april 2013. since then, jeep has been in dealers service dept for many electrical problems, transmission problems, down loads to control modules and front and rear bumpers just falling off. radio was replaced, wiring harness replaced, many control modulars replaced, generator and battery replaced and the dealer even added an extra negative wire to the jeep to stop the exterior and interior lights from just turning off and on, altering the jeeps design. my jeep then began turning on and off certain controls, like the wipers would just come on and off, the radio would go up and down in sound then the whole screen would go black, turning off on its own, dealer had to replace the entire radio system. recent repairs were the transmission, which have been an ongoing problem within month of purchase. the jeep would not go higher the 2nd gear. dealer had to remove certain codes, replace with new codes and reprogram the tcm control module. this has been done many times. just last month, the front and rear bumpers just began to fall apart. dealer had to send jeep to a body shop for repairs. the jeep is in mint condition and aways has. it's service record is proof of proper mainteance on schedule. on one occasion after the dealer attemptedto finx the lights from going out and had the jeep for sevral weeks, the dealer told me they go the lights to at least not go out but it still has a slight flicker. when i told the dealership that's not fixed right, the dealer told me that they considered the repairs commercially acceptable. it's been almost a year since i hired an attorney to address this under the lemon law but chrysler continues to drag this issue out without addressing the safety issues my family continues to endure on a daily basis . asking the attorney to become more involved, i was told they have to do what the law allows
