What owners wrote
My son and I were in front and side impact crash with another vehicle on 4/24/17 with significant damage but no airbags deployed in our vehicle. Attached are a few photos of both vehicles for reference. We were driving a 2015 jeep cherokee and were hit by a driver who hydroplaned in a 2011 hyundai elantra. The reporting officer estimated my speed at impact was 40 MPH. Airbags deployed in the other vehicle but not in ours.
Bought 2015 jeep cherokee brand new off the lot was so excited to own my first jeep after 600 miles transmission failed and had to be completely replaced I was without it for 23 days. After I got it back and noticed the transmission either lunges forward when making a turn or looses power and reves up then engages took it back and dealer says we are aware of problem but there is not a update or fix for that.... I have never felt more unsafe or unsure about driving or trusting a vehicle than I do now.
