2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Electrical System

When I push on the gas pedal, sometimes the car revs up and the speed does not increase. I have to shut the car down and then restart. When I restart it, then it resets it in a way and I am able to drive. There is a hyperbola symbol that is seen on my dashboard that blinks when this happens. Please help.

The shifter failed. It won’t come out of park.

Car shut down without warning while i was driving in traffic. Car locked it shelf out and was not drivable. Had to have it towed to local Jeep Dealer. They looked into it and determined that the alternator failed and fried a fuse block as well. the Repair cost just over $1500. There is a recall out for Grand Cherokee's from 2012 to 2014 for the same issue. P60 / NHTsA 14v634. I know my jeep is a 2016 but i feel like this is the same issue.

This Jeep has electrical malfunctions that causes problems with the entire functioning of the vehicle. The ignition often doesn’t work, indicator warning lights suddenly flash, and worse yet, the brakes will come on in the middle of driving. Once incident made me fear for my life because the brakes suddenly came on while I was driving on the highway.

When I turn car on, radio sometimes makes loud thump noice. Time resets to different times, until it goes to current time. Radio volume mutes on and off. And when I try to pair call, I can’t connect phone via bluetooth.

I stopped at a traffic light and the the "D" Drive transmission light began to flash. The car would not move. It was like it was in Neutral. I had to shift the car to Park. Turn it off and turn it back on before the transmission would engage and the car would move. What happened is similar to Recall s28

THE RADIO SCREEN STOPPED WORKING BUT WILL COME BACK AT TIMES. WHEN THE SCREEN GOES BLANK, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING OR ADJUST ANYTHING THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE ON THE SCREEN. WHICH MEANS I CAN NOT CONTROL HEAT OR GET ANY. IT IS LIKE THIS DURING DRIVING OR SITTING STILL.

UCONNECT RADIO/SATELLITE CHANNELS RANDOMLY CHANGE BY THEMSELVES WHICH IS A REAL DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. I STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

WITHIN 12 HOURS,VEHICLE RADIO SPEAKERS STOPPED WORKING. WE DROVE TO JEEP DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO SCHEDULE AN APPT. NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THERE IS NO INSTRUMENTATION LIGHTING AL ALL. THIS IS AFTER TAKING TO SAME JEEP DEALER TO SATISFY THE 2 OPEN RECALLS, RECEIVED BACK ON A MONDAY AND NOT DRIVEN UNTIL SATURDAY. SUNDAY AM VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE

I AM A FIREFIGHTER WITH CHESTERFIELD COUNTY FIRE AND EMS IN CHESTERFIELD VA. I RECENTLY WORKED AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A NEWER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A PUSH BUTTON START. THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DRIVER MOVED THE SHIFT LEVER IN THE CENTER CONSOLE TO THE "P" POSITION. THE "P" BLINKED RED. THE DRIVER TRIED TO POWER DOWN THE VEHICLE, AND THE DISPLAY SHOWED "VEHICLE NOT IN PARK" AND WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN. WE HAD THE DRIVER HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR OVER A MINUTE AND THE VEHICLE REMAINED RUNNING. I ENDED UP PULLING THE IGNITION SYSTEM RELAY, IN THE UNDER HOOD FUSE / RELAY BOX TO GET THE VEHICLE TO POWER DOWN. WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO POWER OFF THE VEHICLE, IT CAUSED ADDITIONAL HAZARDS IN AN ACCIDENT SCENE, AS THE VEHICLE HAD A LARGE POSSIBILITY OF MOVING, POSSIBLY OVER OR INTO OTHER SAFETY PERSONAL ON SCENE. *DT VIN NOT AVAILABLE.*JB *DT*JB

OUR 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS NOT SAFE. JEEP'S 2016 GRAND CHEROKEE BROCHURE BOOK (PUBLICATION 73-383-2605 151M/11/15) STATES THE FOLLOWING ON PAGE NUMBER 7: "8.4-INCH TOUCHSCREEN. THE UCONNECT 8.4 NAV RADIO KEEPS YOU ENTERTAINED AND ON COURSE. VOICE ACTIVATION LETS YOU SAFELY CONTROL IT ALL WHILE YOUR HANDS STAY ON THE WHEEL - CHANGE RADIO STATIONS, CONTROL CABIN TEMPS AND MUCH MORE." MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE, ON 10-12-2016 MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED OUR 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUMMIT; HOWEVER, THE 8.4 NAV RADIO U CONNECT DOES NOT WORK WITH THE IPHONE AS STATED IN THE AFOREMENTIONED JEEP BROCHURE WHILE YOUR HANDS STAY ON THE STEERING WHEEL. SUPPOSEDLY, WHILE KEEPING YOUR HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, THE DRIVER SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE VOICE RECOGNITION TO COMMAND USE OF THE PHONE, TEXTING, NAVIGATION, ETC. HOWEVER USING VOICE RECOGNITION WHILE IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL, ALMOST ALL VOICE COMMANDS BECOME FAILED ATTEMPTS, WHICH IS DISTRACTING AND IS NOT SAFE WHILE DRIVING. I (JOHN M. KING) REPORTED THIS TO JEEP CORPORATE; AND, THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CHECKED AT OURISMAN JEEP, 2406 CRAIN HWY, BOWIE, MD 20716 (301-249-4227), WHICH WAS COMPLETED ON 8-3-2017 (INVOICE # CHCS109503); OURISMAN JEEP DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE'S SYSTEMS AND CONCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: "U CONNECT NAV WORKING AS DESIGNED." WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I (JOHN M. KING) DEMONSTRATED A 100% FAILURE RATE OF THE 8.4 NAV U CONNECT'S VOICE COMMAND'S TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL (SERVICE ADVISOR & SERVICE TECHNICIAN); AMAZINGLY, THE DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL CONFIRMED TO ME A 100% FAILURE RATE IS THE DEFINITION FOR "FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED." THE DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL ALSO STATED THEY RECEIVED COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS WITH IPHONES. AGAIN, OUR 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS NOT SAFE.

THE CAR DISPLAYS A MESSAGE THAT THE KEY FOB IN NOT DETECTED AND WILL NOT START. THERE IS NO WAY TO USE THE MECHANICAL KEY TO START THE CAR.

APPARENTLY, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW FOR THE JEEP BRAND.

I ENTERED MY CAR , I DID HEAR A BOTTLE BREAKING NOISE BUT WASN'T SURE WHAT IT WAS. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AGAIN TO CONVERSE WITH A FRIEND. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND CLOSED THE DOOR, I HEARD THE SUNROOF SHADE MOVE LIKE WIND WAS ABOVE IT. I OPENED THE SHADE AND SAW A HOLE AND SHATTERED GLASS. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER MILE, BEFORE I PARKED AND HEARD THE NOISE AND SAW THE BROKEN GLASS.
