2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY NOTICED UPON RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE, THAT IT DID NOT DRIVE SMOOTHLY AND LACKED POWER DURING ACCELERATION. HOWEVER, SHE FELT IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF FAMILIARITY WITH THE VEHICLE. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE DETERIORATED TO A POINT WHERE A PROBLEM WAS EVIDENT. FREQUENTLY, NOT ALL THE TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE AND OCCASIONALLY NOT RESPOND AT ALL FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS AS THE RPM'S WENT UP. IT FELT AS THE THOUGH, SHE WAS FORCING THE GAS BY PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE GAS WAS BLOCKED FROM FLOWING, OR THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN A LOW GEAR AND NOT UP-SHIFTING. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WITH ONLY 1,231 MILES. THE CONSUMER HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALER, SEVERAL MORE TIMES, DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING. *JB

ON 8-1-2013 OUR 2 WEEK OLD NEW 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN STARTED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NOT COME ON AND STAYED BLACK. I RESTARTED THE JEEP AND THE CLUSTER CAME ON. THEN ON 8-8-2013 THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BLACK AND STAYED OFF FOR OVER FIFTEEN MINUTES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS SAFETY. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER YESTERDAY AND AM CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TODAY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A RECORD OF THIS WITH YOU AS I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM . *TR
