NHTSA Opens Investigation Into 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Truck Trend Network
However, for a few Jeep Grand Cherokee owners, that hasn’t been the case. After receiving 14 complaints, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is opening an investigation into 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee models for rolling away when in Park. In addition to the complaints, the NHTSA reports also claim there have been five reports of crashes and three injury incidents. The newer-model Grand Cherokees have an electronic shifter, rather than a conventional mechanical shifter with clearly defined shift detents. Last month, FCA and NHTSA agreed to a record $105 million civil penalty settlement, mainly stemming from the delay in repairs on the massive Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee recall and their fuel tank vulnerability in a severe rear-impact collision.
