The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle failed to respond. There were no warning lights illuminated. On a separate occasion, the contact stated that while the vehicle was driven over 60 MPH, the vehicle made an abnormally loud sound coming from the muffler. The contact merged to the side of the road, turned off the vehicle, and after the engine cooled down, the vehicle functioned properly if the vehicle did not exceed 60 MPH. On another occasion, while the vehicle was parked outside a store, the contact went back to start the vehicle, and the brake warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was started; however, the transmission failed to shift into drive or reverse. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 714.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Component: Engine/Powertrain and Electrical System. Availability: Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. ⸻ 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? While driving, the vehicle suddenly shut off without warning, causing a loss of power, steering, and braking assistance, creating a serious risk of collision. This could have resulted in a major accident, especially at higher speeds or in traffic. ⸻ 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The Jeep dealership replicated the issue once, but initially claimed they couldn’t. Jeep later confirmed the dealership did replicate it, but no repairs were made. ⸻ 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Yes. The vehicle was inspected by a Jeep-authorized dealership. Jeep confirmed the issue was replicated but refused to escalate it for further inspection. ⸻ 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lights or messages appeared. The vehicle shut off without any prior indication, making it unpredictable and dangerous. The vehicle is a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee with approximately 21,000 miles. It unexpectedly shut off while driving, creating a serious safety hazard. Despite Jeep confirming the dealership replicated the issue, they failed to provide a solution or send a field engineer. I am requesting an NHTSA investigation due to the potential for this defect to cause serious accidents or fatalities

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
This has happened a few times, just will be driving and the collision lights will turn on my dash. Has not caused any serious issues. but i am concerned one day this will alert my Automatic break and cause my car to stop while driving and cause serious harm to me or someone else. I have taken this to the shop and was just told they can not get it to " pop" up on the dash so aren't sure how to take care of it

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
A warning light popped up to tell me this system was disabled on my dashboard, at the same time the system switched to Italian and all of the units of measure switched to metric without warning. I took it in to the dealership and they reset everything, replaced the radio/computer, and assured me everything was working. Within a week, the same error occurred and the same issues. I took it back to the dealership and they acted like they had no idea why, but would look into it. While waiting I searched online and discovered a notice from Chrysler dated in 2024 saying this issue was occurring and dealerships should just reset the system. I also discovered a multitude of similar issues being reported by other owners of Jeep vehicles across various message boards. When I brought the "Star bulletin" to dealers attention, they admitted they were aware of the issue all along and had no idea when/if it would be fixed as it was an issue with the software in the vehicles themselves that Chrysler would need to fix. So, I was sent home with a vehicle that is not operating correctly. I have to assume the front collision and emergency braking is not working (along with quite a few other features I have discovered), and frankly I have no idea what safety features are or are not working as they could not (or would not) tell me what all was affected.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My dash cluster is completely blank. I am merely reporting this to the NHSTA for purposes of record and it being a very unsafe situation in not being able to see my speed among many other safety issues the cluster provides. This is a HUGE safety concern and caused me a great amount of stress trying to drive to work today. It looks as though Jeep has already provided a recall for a very similar issue with their Jeep Wranglers & Gladiator vehicles. I own a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L - Attitude model.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
ABS , Traction Control, Power brake booster, AEB inoperative after routine brake pads/rotor service. Vehicle was put into service mode via touch screen radio, rear brake service performed. Upon initial brake pedal application, required to exit service mode for rear brakes, to return caliper piston contact to brake pad. The vehicle disables abs and supporting system and sets codes c0050 , c2227 . As a technician my opinion is the extra brake fluid required to take up open space after service is discharged via accumulator into the brake system with no resistance or pressure due to caliper pistons expanding to the brake pads. These faults render the power brake boost abs and multiple other safety systems inoperative until a dealer level scan tool can perform abs initialization, and a hydraulic prove out test, and clear all codes, even with all code cleared power brake boost was lack just at best on initial test drive after service. A basic routine service should not affect a vehicle as adversely as this. While dealers may know what's going on your independently run shops and DIYers may return unsafe vehicles to customers/owners. This is the 3rd vehicle I have personally experienced this with. I will up load separate reports with those vins accordingly.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The forward collision warning turns off on it's own. Jeep did an upgrade and now the radio turns off and on by itself, changes in preference happens without warning and forward collision warning stays lit. Jeep has replaced the radio 3 times since and I've been to the dealership at least 15 times to address the issue but the issue has not been resolved. This has gone on since 2023. Jeep is aware of the issue because i read a memo addressing it at the dealership but they would not provide me a copy of it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Electrical System: The dashboard and screen have repeatedly turned off, the windows have become inoperable, and numerous warning lights and messages have appeared, including alerts for night vision, front camera sensor, and service car. Climate Control System: The system blows inconsistent temperatures, ranging from extremely hot to very cold. It also gets stuck in windshield defrost mode regardless of the selected setting. This has caused dangerous fogging of the windows, obstructing my vision while driving. Drivetrain: The vehicle shakes and trembles, both at high speeds and at a complete stop. There is also a distinct abnormal sound coming from the driver's front side. These issues suggest potential problems with the axle, transmission, suspension, or a combination of these components. Potentially the Engine: The vehicle has experienced sudden acceleration issues while shifting gears, which could indicate an engine-related problem. Loss of Vehicle Control: The trembling and shaking, particularly at higher speeds, can cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of an accident. Unexpected Acceleration: The sudden acceleration issues while shifting gears could lead to unintended speeding and collisions. Impaired Visibility: The climate control malfunctions, specifically the extreme temperature fluctuations and persistent fogging of the windows, significantly reduce visibility and make it dangerous to drive, especially in inclement weather. I have been forced to pull over multiple times to clear the windshield due to the severity of the fogging. Distraction and Discomfort: The extreme temperatures blowing from the climate control system are distracting and uncomfortable, which can impair my focus while driving. Car has only been inspected by dealership. No there were no warning messages prior to the car starting to act up.
