Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • 41,000 miles
While traveling perfectly fine for 2 hours on an expressway, our vehicle became completely uncontrollable as the road became slightly slippery and we decreased our speed to around 45 mph. The steering wheel began shaking, the vehicle felt like it was driving itself, shimmying left and right uncontrollably. We could not correct the vehicle from slightly fishtailing even after removing pressure from accelerator and reducing speed to 5-10 mph and driving on the shoulder where there was more traction. We were totally unable to control the vehicle. We switched the select-terrain knob to "snow" to see if that helped, but it continued to be virtually uncontrollable. We were afraid to completely stop the vehicle due to all other traffic flying past us going normal speeds. The vehicle miraculously made it to a gas station right off the highway and was towed to the nearest Jeep dealer. The service department took it out for two different drives and could not replicate the problem. They hooked it up to their computer diagnostic system and could find no error codes. We also inquired if it was part of the P64 recall regarding the electronic control stability and were told no even though it seems similar to the problem that the recall addresses.this was the most terrifying experience we have ever had in a vehicle. If there had been any vehicles in our immediate vicinity at the onset of the issue, we would have been in a horrific accident. Two other similar, but less intense scenarios had happened before this one, both including the same feeling of being out of control, once on a rainy road service, and the other on an intermittently slippery road. Because this seems to be an intermittent problem and one that is a huge safety concern, we refuse to drive this vehicle on the road again.

My lights outside/inside go black/no lights with no warning. Other cars flash their lights at me and all I can do is turn on overhead light, and drive very slow. Also my brakes won't work, this happened three times. I'm scared to drive at any time after dark. My car was in shop for 37 days because they could not get parts to fix/after accident.

Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

  • 15,000 miles
Traveling through New Jersey on the highway for about one hour, stopped at small store for a few minutes, leaving the parking lot heading back towards the main road and attempt to yield to traffic, brake pedal depressed 100% and vehicle continues to roll towards the road. There was just enough room for the driver to turn the vehicle around and back into the parking lot. In the parking lot the vehicle was moving at about 10 mph and the brake pedal was depressed 100%, again the brakes are barley working and the car takes about 20-30 feet to stop. There was a recall for the 2014 Grand Cherokee but only for models manufactured from January 5, 2010, through September 8, 2013. Our Grand Cherokee was manufactured in November of 2013 and is therefore not eligible for the recall. Our Jeep was towed to a local Jeep dealership where they replaced the brake booster, they told us it had filled with water (exactly what the recall fixes). The recall must be expanded to all affected 2014 Grand Cherokee.

Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • 4,200 miles
After coming to a complete stop the vehicle lunges forward. This is an intermittent issue, but appears to happen more frequently after the vehicle has been sitting for a period of time. Additionally the vehicle transmission is always trying to find a different gear (I describe this as fishing for a gear) up shifting when you want to slow down or just the opposite down shifting when you want to speed up.
