2014 Jeep Cherokee Other / unspecified Problems

The lug bolts that hold the tires on are swollen in place and cannot be removed without breaking them. As a result I cannot get the tires off of my vehicle. To remove the tires I have to take the vehicle to a dealership where they have to break the bolts to get the tires off. The jeep dealership told me this was a common problem with jeeps and Chryslers because the factory installs lug bolts with caps on them which are prone to swelling and prevent the tires from being removed. If I had gotten a flat tire I would have been stranded as the tires cannot be removed due to the swelling of the bolts. This is obviously very dangerous as it results in people being stranded on the side of the road because the tire cannot be removed to put on a spare. To fix this problem and prevent it from reoccurring I now have to buy 20 new lug bolts that are not capped and take my car to the dealership where they have special tools to break the lug bolts and remove the tires. This is also causing financial hardship as the new uncapped lug bolts cost $204 and the labor to remove the tires is $312. These capped lug bolts are defective because they are known to be prone to swelling and locking the tires in place. As such this is a dangerous factory defect and these capped bolts should not be used.

Myself - along with THOUSANDS are having the dreaded P0520 Code come on!!! There is a TSB (HAS BEEN ONE FOR 7 YEARS) for this problem! Yet, since it seems to fail right out of warranty - THOUSANDS are being affected. Previously-The 2014 Jeep Compass SUV is among the 522 vehicles recalled by Chrysler alongside the 2014 Jeep Patriot SUV, 2013 Dodge Avenger, and Chrysler 200, all of which are equipped with 2.4-liter engines that are touted to have engine oil pressure loss issues that may lead to sudden engine stall or failure BECAUSE OF THIS SAME OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ISSUE "! Yet No RECALL on 2014 models when the issue is so widely well known!? Problems --Large oil leak, could have gone on fire or seized the engine. Turns out the oil filter housing assemble was cracked which seems quite common in this make, mode and year. The oil filter housing is cracked and it is a known issue with my vehicle. One morning there was a large amount of oil under my vehicle. At this time there are so many open issues with this defected part that I am unable to get this part cause there are 5800 people in line before me waiting for this part. I am unsure where to start to have this recalled but I would like to move in the direction of having that done. Please help! I read online that there was a possible petition started for this very issue. IT ALL BEGINS WITH THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT (http://www.sequentialtaillights.com/dodge/SB_PDF/TSB_LC_0803414a.pdf) Please recall this issue! Make JEEP REPLACE THESE IMMEDIATELY AT THEIR COST! Next -- TAKE A LOOK AT HOW MANY JEEPS OF THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL have loud ticking coming on! My Jeep has developed the 3. 6l penastar tick. I noticed fca extended the warranties for vehicles equipped with the 3. 6l penastar v6 but for my model they stopped in 2013. How can I get my year added to that warranty since it developed the same problems as the previous years??? ALSO - Front wheel issues constantly! Replacements!

I WAS DRIVING AND WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE WAS GOING ABOUT 42 AND MY CAR DROPPED THE GEAR AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 38MPH AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG AND I BRING IT TO OTHER MECHANICS AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE ISSUES ALL THE TIME WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE. I DRIVE WITH A SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR AND I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE. I AM SO FURIOUS WITH MY JEEP DEALERSHIP LOCATED ON ROUTE 88 IN BRICK NEW JERSEY. NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. MY SECOND ISSUE IS WITH THE LUG SCREWS IN THE TIRES THEY KEEP BECOMING 'SWOLLEN' AFTER REPLACING THEM CONSTANTLY I WAS TOLD YET AGAIN THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP TO KEEP REPLACING. AND LAST MY AIR BAGS CENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE THE DRIVER AIRBAG CENSOR KEEPS POPPING UP ON MY DASHBOARD.

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE IT HAS OVER 100,000 MILES OVER IT I JUST RECENTLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE WHICH WAS NO MORE THAN FLUID CHANGE. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING TO A RESTAURANT TO PICK UP SOME DINNER THE PARKING BRAKE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON YELLOW INDICATION CAME ON I WAS JUST DRIVING NORMAL WEATHER NO SNOW NO RAIN SITTING IN LINE AT THE DRIVE-THRU. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT TO PLACE IT IN PARK AND TO SEE IF I COULD RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE AS THE PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON. ONCE I PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WILL NOT RELEASE. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOUSE WHICH IS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY JUST KEPT ASKING FOR CODES THERE WAS NO CODES TO BE GIVEN. I HAVE TRIED MANY SOLUTIONS INCLUDING OF DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY PULLING THE FUSES I HAVE PULLED THE BRAKE MODULE FROM THE BACK NOW THAT THERE WAS A LITTLE MOISTURE IN THERE. I TRIED IT OUT AND RIDE IT LET IT SIT A DAY OR TWO. THE BRAKE WILL NOT RELEASE. LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO BRING IT IN FOR AN EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSIS. AFTER JACKING UP THE VEHICLE MYSELF I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT IT WAS ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE THAT WILL NOT RELEASE.I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IF I JUST ROCKED IT BETWEEN REVERSE AND DRIVE THAT IT WOULD RELEASE. IT DID RELEASE ONCE BUT I LITERALLY HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON UNTIL IT DID LET'S NOT DO THAT AGAIN. I REPLACE THE MODULE WITH ONE I FOUND ONLINE FROM ANOTHER JEEP CHEROKEE AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. LOCAL DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO IDEA HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT WAS NO HELP WHATSOEVER

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO TAKE TO MULTIPLE DEALERS, THAT COULD NEVER REMEDY THE "HARD JERKING, MISSED GEAR SHIFTING AND REPETITIVE ENGINE LIGHT WARNING AND COMPLETE ENGINE SHUTDOWNS". I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE, THAT I'M TOLD THE ONLY FIX IS TO COMPLETELY REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD A COMPUTER REPROGRAM WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. I PERFORMED A VIN AUDIT, AND SOME OF THE VISITS TO THE MULTIPLE DEALERS DON'T REFLECT THE ACTUAL SERVICE, BUT I HAVE MY DOCUMENTS. NOW I HAVE A NEGATIVE EQUITY VEHICLE THAT I FEAR TO DRIVE, AT THE MOMENT I JUST TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY LOOKED AT IT AND NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF. I HAVE ORAL FEAR THE INCONSISTENCIES OF THIS VEHICLE, SO I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE, UNTIL I GET A RESOLVE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AFTER MULTIPLE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON I-80 WHILE COMING BACK FROM A FAMILY TRIP FROM NYC. GOING 65 MPH TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOSS COMPLETE POWER IS INSANE. THE ONLY RESOLVE WAS TO PULL OVER, WAIT, AND TRY AGAIN.

WHILE TOWING OUR JEEP BEHIND A CLASS A 24 FOOT MOTORHOME TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR ON A BUMPY ROAD THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND TRYING TO PULL TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. WE SLOWED DOWN BUT IT CONTINUED UNTIL WE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. CARS BEHIND US CLEARED OUT AWAY BECAUSE I'M SURE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE. WE OF COURSE WERE SCARED AND CONCERNED AS WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. WE ARE IN A VERY REMOTE AREA WITH NO CELL PHONE SERVICE AND CONCERN ABOUT DANGER TO US AND OTHER TRAVELERS AS WE HAD NO PLACE TO PULL OFF. WE DID A THOROUGH WALK AROUND CONCERNED ABOUT FLAT TIRES OR A BROKEN TOW HITCH. I RECALL AN ARTICLE IN MOTORHOME MAGAZINE CONCERNING "DEATH WOBBLE "IN 2014 AND 15 JEEP CHEROKEE'S. WE DID A YOUTUBE SEARCH AND INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THERE IS A HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM THAT JEEP IS TRYING TO CORRECT BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING. IF WE HAD BEEN TOWING THE JEEP WITH A PICK UP TRUCK WE PROBABLY WOULD'VE BEEN FLIPPED OFF THE ROAD, LUCKILY WE ARE IN A BIG HEAVY MOTORHOME. MOTORHOME OWNERS MAY FIND OUT ABOUT THIS AS TIME GOES ON BUT THESE JEEPS WILL BE TRADED TO UNINFORMED OWNERS THAT MAY PULLTHE JEEP WITH A SMALLER VEHICLE. THE NAME DEATH WOBBLE ALL OVER YOUTUBE HAS ME CONCERNED AS HOW THE NAME CAME TO BE. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHILE BEING PULLED BY LIGHTWEIGHT RV OR SUVS OR ALREADY OBVIOUSLY HAS HAPPENED BUT NOT REPORTED. IT IS IN A VERY LIMITED SITUATION BUT NEVERTHELESS OWNERS AND POTENTIAL OWNERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE AND A BETTER FIX SHOULD BE FORTHCOMING. AN ARTICLE CAN BE FOUND IN MOTORHOME MAGAZINE FOR NOVEMBER 2016 AND THE PREVIOUS ISSUE .

A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR BRAND NEW I GOT A FLAT TIRE FOR NO REASON. THE SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AND IT TOOK OVER A WEEK TO CHANGE MY TIRE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS AWFUL AND THE JEEP ROADSIDE ASSURANCE TOOK 6 HOURS TO GET TO ME FOR A TOW, I COMPLAINED TO NO AVAIL. NEXT MY TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING WEIRD. ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING WITHOUT ME GASSING OR BRAKING. TOOK IT IN AND NO ONE TOOK ME SERIOUSLY. DECEMBER 2015 MY CARS TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THANKFUL I COULD PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. GOT IT TOWED TO JEEP THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THERE WAS NO REAL FIX BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE TO FIX IT HASN'T BEEN CREATED YET. SO BASICALLY WE'RE GOING TO PUT A FAULTY PART BACK IN YOUR CAR AND CROSS OUR FINGERS IT WORKS. YESTERDAY 4/11/16 THE EXACT THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY BUT IN THE MID MORNING. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF WITH NO POWER SAFELY BUT WAS IN A BAD SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS RACING PAST ME AND NOT MOVING OVER OR SLOWING DOWN. DEFINITELY A STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE. GOT TOWED AGAIN AND THE MAINTENANCE WERE SO RELAXED ABOUT IT. THEY DIDN'T CARE AT ALL EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS MY SECOND PROBLEM IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY FIXED IT IN ONE DAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRANSMISSION MODULES IN STOCK. ONE CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S BECAUSE MANY OWNERS ARE COMING IN TO GET THEM REPLACED. I'M AM LOOKING INTO LEMON LAWS AND SUGGEST EVERYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM DOES THE SAME.

AS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS, MY JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BRAKE FOR NO APPARENT CAUSE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE "COLLISION IMMINENT" TONE HAS SOUNDED AT THE SAME TIME. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF CONTROL AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS DISCONCERTING. ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED, BUT THESE WERE TRIGGERED BY A CAR LEAVING THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT SIDE, TO TURN AT AN ANGLE INTO A STREET THAT BRANCHED OFF THE ROUTE I WAS ON. ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS CLEARLY OUT OF THE PATH OF THE CAR, APPARENTLY THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM THOUGHT THAT MY CAR WAS CLOSING ON THE OTHER CAR TOO QUICKLY, AND AGAIN SOUNDED THE WARNING AND SLOWED THE CAR DOWN. AGAIN, THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH CONTROL OF THE CAR, AND NO ACCIDENT, ALTHOUGH DRIVERS BEHIND ME HAD TO SLOW DOWN BY ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I HAVE LEARNED TO LEAVE SOME EXTRA DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND CARS TURNING OFF FOR JUST THIS REASON. *TR
