Anyone have an issue with this chrome metal peeling off? I still have factory the warranty since my vehicle only has 15K miles and under 35K and plus I have the bumper to bumper to 100K miles. You think this is covered? Looks like poor craftsmanship I just cut my finger and bled all over trying to get my change out.

I'm in the same boat and it's getting worse. If you hear of anything please let me know.
I'm in the same situation. I peeled off the sharp chrome in a couple of spots but I'd like to fix this the right way. Does anyone know the part number?
The part number will depend on your options and trim level but for mine I think its: 1SY571L1AD
Shifter Trim Bezel
Mine is peeling as well but for $300+ I'll strip it, buff it and wax it before replacing!

they wont cover interior trim with extended warranty.
Not sure they will fix this injustice, JeepCares Did get my bubbling and peeling leather dash replaced! Out of warranty!

Hi PHILA,
Unfortunately, as xJoshxx stated, aesthetic concerns such as interior trim are not covered by most Mopar Vehicle Protection plans. You can access more information about your plan by visiting this link: https://www.mopar.com/en-us/care/mopar-vehicle-protection/access-plan.html. If you decide to visit your local dealership for further diagnosis I'd be happy to assist if needed, just PM our page with your VIN and let me know!

OMG. I've had my 2012 for about 1 1/2 years, and the last month I just noticed the metal around the cup holders scraping off. I've cut my hand multiple times. I do have an extended warranty 30k left on it, maybe it's covered under that? I don't know calling the dealer tomorrow because this is a safety hazard!!!! Glad I'm not the only one. We've tried to scrape some off to get by and not slice my hand anymore. Very poor craftsmanship. Frustrating for the amount we paid for the vehicle used.

If anyone is interested I have that exact part, brand new, still in it's OEM Mopar box.
The center console shifter bezel/trim piece I have is silvertone w/OEM lighting included.
It's Mopar part #1SY571X9AD, MSRP $453.00 and it's brand new, never used or installed.
It was for my 2012 Overland Summit that I no longer have.
I'll take $200.00 for it shipped. Let me know.
This part is sold!

Same here with my 2012 Laredo. I’ve thought about replacing it, but I’m concerned with the amount of work involved. Anyone know the procedures for replacement?

Pops right out with a trim stick.
Does the shift knob pull right off, or is there a screw attached under the Jeep emblem on top of the knob?
The chrome plastic ring at the bottom of the shift knob has to be popped off, a plastic trim stick it perfect to wedge in there and force away from the bottom of the shift knob.
The there is a litte spring clip in the collar of the shift knob hidden under the plastic trim ring you just popped off. Use a needle nose pliers to pull the spring clip out. Once out, just pull up on the shift knob and it might be stuck a bit, but it will come off. Then lift the trim panel off.
The panel then just pops off, might need a plastic trim stick works perfectly. Then there are several electrical connectors to disconnect and lift it out.
I have removed the panel, taken it apart, and removed the chrome trim piece. You have to remove the cup holder, a couple of screws, and then there's a panel with the trim ring. It is plastic welded to the overall panel, but only at two points, a glob of molten plastic over a hole, it took 30 sec to drill both out and pop the panel off.
I sanded the chrome trim ring with 300 grit sand paper, perhaps rougher to remove the remaining chrome that I wasn't able to peel/chip off. Then sanded the entire plastic surface to roughen it up.
I got a can plastic chrome paint from my local auto store. Follow the instructions on the can. The sanding of the plastic will help it adhere.
No need to plastic weld the trim ring panel back to the main panel, the cup holders sandwich it and it has studs to hold it in place. If you really want to plastic weld it, get some permatex plastic weld epoxy and glob it over the studs you drilled out.
And put it back together.
Don't ask for pictures of mine, I have to redo it. I screwed up the spray nozzle trying to get the cap off, I said F' it and tried to make it work, and it sprayed horribly and glopped on. So I totally mess up the finish, because I tried to use a broken nozzle spray can I knew wouldn't work and should have punted till after I got another can of paint. Its silver and been there a year without peeling (because of the sanding) but its not chrome because I tried to use a broken spray nozzle. I'll eventually get to redoing it and getting a proper finish. The plastic tarp I used under it while I sprayed with a broken nozzle had spots that looked like perfect plastic chrome. It was the broken nozzle I tried to use that caused the finish to be a mess, not the paint or plastic that did it.
Thanks for the info. I do have trim tools so I’ll give it a shot. Worst case it breaks then I’ll be looking around for the part. If not then I’ll try I’ll like you suggested with the chrome paint.
Just remember, pry the spray can lid off with a screw driver. I forced it off by hand and broke the spray nozzle off spray can. At that point I should have waited till the next day and bought another can of spray paint.
Nope, I forced the broken off spray nozzle back into the top of the spray can, it was more splashing globs of paint on the trim ring. I need to take it apart and sand it down and re-do it properly.

Same problem. I had 2012 Grand Cherokee with similar issue. Now, my 2017 Grand Cherokee has the same issue with this chrome band around the cup holder. Chrysler don't care about this, they think it's too little of a problem to make an adjustments in design for their new cars.
