What owners wrote
I was driving to work with the heated seat on. I began to feel my lower back getting extremely hot. I leaned forward and when I did I could smell something burning and my back began to burn. I quickly pulled over and jumped out of the car as quickly as possibly to see that my seat had physical flame coming from it. I contacted Jeep about the situation and was ultimately told it was somehow not a manufacturing issue.
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the back-over prevention APP independently uninstalled. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle had not been started in eight days. In addition, the stabili-trak warning light had illuminated a month prior, which was the initial failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed transfer case. The contact was informed that the transfer case needed to be replaced.
