2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee owner complaints (15)

• SEATS

  the clips in my active headrest broke and the headrest deployed while I was riding in the passenger seat.

• FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Capless fuel filler nozzle defect. Filler cap comes lose and engine light comes on. You can smell gas vapors in the car

• POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  System Failed: Total engine failure caused by a defective Recall W79 EGR Cooler, which is available for physical inspection at my residence.Safety Risk: The vehicle suffered a sudden, complete loss of motive power at speed. This caused an immediate traffic hazard, risking a catastrophic rear-end collision due to lost propulsion, power steering, and braking.Dealer Verification: The vehicle is currently undrivable. Jeep Corporate is actively giving me the runaround and refusing to tow or diagnose the vehicle under the EcoDiesel Settlement Extended Warranty.Inspections: No inspections have been conducted yet by police, insurance, or the manufacturer; the vehicle is fully preserved.Symptoms/Warning: No long-term warning lights appeared. The vehicle suddenly lost AC cooling and instantly stalled out without advanced mechanical warning.

• FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  The check engine came on as I was driving to work the other morning, and when I got back in the car to head home for the night, my car wouldn't start at all. I have a failed High Pressure Fuel Pump system. I used my own OBD-II code reader, and got back code P0087. This issue is connected to the FCA Z46 recall issued in June 2022. The previous owner/dealership performed the service for this specific recall in May 2024 and was marked as complete. I became the current owner of this Jeep in October 2024, just 5 months after the recall was completed. I have personally driven this vehicle for only 20,000 miles since I took over ownership, which means that the new replacement parts covered under the Z46 recall failed at no more than 25,000 miles. This part is stated to last 100,000+ miles. Not 20-25k miles. However, Mopar states that recall parts are only covered for two years after the recall was completed. This puts the expiration for the 2 year part coverage at May 2026. It is currently June 2026. Just one month out of recall part warranty, and both Mopar and my local FCA approved dealership are refusing to honor the warranty and fix this issue for me for free, covered by the terms of the recall. My Jeep no longer starts at all. I got it towed back to my house so I could have it somewhere safe until I could figure out what to do next about this unexpected break down. Total cost out of pocket would range upward of $10,000 for a full HPFP replacement, including fuel pump module, fuel rails and all high pressure lines, fuel injectors and complete system clean. I'm just one month over the 2 year recall warrenty after recall was completed. And because of that, I'm looking at upwards of $10k for failed parts covered by an FCA safety recall. New parts only lasted 25 months and 20k miles. In no way should I be responsible for the cost of this repair that is obviously now considered a an unremedied recall.

• POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  No check engine lights prior to this, car started to make a noise pulled over to check it out as I was merging over low oil pressure showed and coolant level over temperature, gear then dropped to neutral, managed to pull over without any accidents car then shut off, oil leaked, it makes a horrible engine noise when starting, had to tow it back. only had the car a year maintenance was up to date.

• POWER TRAIN,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  ACC automatically canceled without braking causing car to either slow down immediately or speed up unsafely, slippery road light turns on, on dash while driving straight, lunging of the car that feels like tires are spinning and or hesitation.

• FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Vehicle has the exact same problem with the fuel pump relay that the 2014s has. The 2014s are repaired via NHTSA yet the 2015s are not. The issue is EXACTLY the same. Why does the NHTSA care about the safety of 2014 owners/passengers but not 2015 owners/passengers?

• SEATS

  The active headrest on the driver’s side deployed unexpectedly. No accident or rear end accident happened. The car was in park and it just went off.

• AIR BAGS,SEATS

  While driving, the drivers side head rest exploded and pushed my body/neck forward. There was no accident that prompted this and was slowing down to a stop light.

• ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  vehicle had a strong odor of gasoline then started spuddering and then caught fire while driving.

• AIR BAGS

  2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while his wife was driving the vehicle at an undisclosed speed, the driver side air bag suddenly deployed hitting the drivers head, the vehicle was not involved in a Collison at all. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 123,830.

• SEATS

  My husband was driving on a highway going 70 MPH and the drivers headrest exploded and lunged him forward

• SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE

  Sudden unintended acceleration while braking. Engine revved against brake input. Has happened multiple times. Need to step on the brake hard and wait for it to pass.

• POWER TRAIN

  While driving at highway speeds, my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited unexpectedly shifted from Drive into Neutral without any driver input. This has occurred twice at different speeds. After the first incident, the vehicle was inspected by a dealership, but no diagnostic trouble codes were found and no issue was identified. The following day, the same problem happened again under similar conditions. When this occurs, the vehicle loses power to the drivetrain, creating a dangerous situation in traffic. This appears to be related to the electronic shifting module and poses a significant safety risk.

• POWER TRAIN

  The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly shifted into neutral(N). There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after shifting into park(P). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to several dealers but was not diagnosed. The dealer was able to duplicate the failure; however, no diagnostic trouble codes were found. The dealer suggested that an unstated valve might need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
