Floor mats trapping car pedals are like that nightmare you’ve had every so often since age 3, or whenever you actually began to form real memories (personally, I can’t recall big life events before sixth grade). Anyway, it’s back: Fiat Chrysler is recalling certain 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees for the ol’ sticky…
The family of Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin has reportedly settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Fiat Chrysler over a 2016 rollaway crash of a Jeep Grand Cherokee that killed the 27-year-old in his driveway.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has been around for 26 model years, and of the many millions built, only a few hundred came with manual transmissions. One of them can be seen in this 1992 episode of MotorWeek, so get ready to feast your eyes on the greatest Grand Cherokee ever.
I missed the Super Bowl last Sunday because I made a terrible decision: I used a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk on all-season tires to tow my new 1979 Jeep Cherokee Golden Eagle from Ohio back to Michigan through an ice storm. It should have been a four-hour trip, but it became a harrowing 12-hour ordeal that…
It’s tempting to dismiss the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk as simply a Grand Cherokee with a big Hellcat engine under the hood (because that is, in essence, what it is). But shoving 707 horsepower into a Grand Cherokee takes a lot more engineering effort than you might think.
Well, the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk didn’t turn out to be cheap at all, did it? With the pricing on the 707 horsepower Hellcat-Jeep, Fiat Chrysler’s SRT division further cements itself as America’s AMG, but that power has a high price tag.
It’s the Easter Jeep Safari, the time of year when Jeep teases the world with unattainable concept vehicles that us ordinary humans will never be able to attain. But this year is different. Jeep did what we all would do and bought a ‘90s ZJ Grand Cherokee off of Craigslist.
I’m losing my damn mind with all the Jeep Grand Cherokee ignorance in the film industry; this stops now.
In a conference call with reporters Thursday morning, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says an investigation has revealed that diesel V6 Jeep and Ram vehicles made between 2014 and 2016 have “at least eight auxiliary emission control devices” that were not disclosed to the agency—an allegation of cheating that…
In an update to the tragic death of 27 year-old Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin after his 2015 Grand Cherokee rolled into him in his driveway on June 19th, The Associated Press reports that his parents are planning to file a wrongful death lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler.
It turns out that the problems with Fiat Chrysler’s unusual and problematic automatic gear shifter are bigger than originally reported. The mushroom-shaped gear shifter on the Jeep Grand Cherokee and other cars—a part being investigated in the death of Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin—is now linked to 266 crashes and 68…
The death of Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin, crushed by his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee on Sunday after the SUV rolled backwards in his own driveway, has been deemed a bizarre and tragic accident. Adding another element of tragedy is the fact that despite Fiat Chrysler speeding up its recall for the rollaway problem, the…
After the tragic death of Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin, who was crushed by his own 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, all eyes have been on Fiat Chrysler’s rollaway vehicle recall. That 1.1 million vehicle recall was less of a fix and more of a warning to customers on how to use the shifter properly. But now Jalopnik has a…
Fiat Chrysler has been in the news lately, and not for good reasons. Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin was killed this weekend when his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee—a vehicle among a recall of more than 1.1 million cars for a rollaway problem linked to the gear shifter—reportedly rolled down his driveway and crushed him. As…
A Fiat Chrysler spokesman said today that the automaker will investigate Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin’s fatal accident, which occurred after his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee pinned him against a mailbox in his driveway. That model of Jeep was among a wave of recalls for a gear shifter involved in numerous rollaway…
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that the car that rolled into and killed Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin was a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a model that Fiat Chrysler recently recalled after its unconventional gear shifter led to several documented rollaway accidents.
Earlier today, we learned about the tragic death of Anton Yelchin after the Star Trek actor was found pinned between his car and a mailbox. Now news from TMZ indicates that Yelchin’s car was a Jeep Grand Cherokee, leading us to wonder whether it was among the 1.1 million cars recalled in April due to a confusing…
