CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 (and 2015) Jeep Grand Cherokee have a serious defect trend of transmission complaints. Most of the complaints are for rough shifting — things like jerking & hesitation when shifting gears.
Dealer describes the engine ticking sounds as normal
Months later valve train failure
Warranty covers repair that takes a month and i get stuck with over $1000 in rental car bills.
Repair involved engine removal and replacing tappets, lifters and the cam shaft (service says some of these engines had "soft cams".. oh f'n great!!! good job Chrysler!
This issue was compounding as smaller problems lead to the complete engine failure, e.g., oil leaks from various locations, oil filter housing unit, radiator.
Went to the dealer dropped it off didn't get it back for 4 days if I remember correctly. Recently went to the dealer and saw a friend of mine there same car same exact problem his car has 30k. terrible quality this should be recalled.
