POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My Jeep start making a horrible grinding and clicking noise every time I turn the steering wheel. It sounded like the wheels would about to come off. It would shake violently going to the road. The A/C was not cooling. It felt super hot inside at all times. The passenger dash was making a rattle at all times. The transmission was jumping at low speeds. The hybrid electrical system wasn't charging. I called the dealership and they said these things were not normal for a brand new Jeep especially the top Summit Reserve. After inspection, I had two broken axles. Metal pieces in my A/C. The passenger instrument panel needed to replaced. The electrical system needed to replaced. The transmission fluid needed to be drained and recalibrated. The transmission continues to jump and jolt forward. The suspension is very shaky and rocky. The steering column and driver door still has a rattle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Hello first the vehicle is stock and only has 80k miles. the battery jumper terminals become scorching hot as I got burned by touching them when I inspected the engine area because you can smell a light burn smell. So I have had a mechanic check The vehicles battery and he told me it's getting over charged by the alternator which is is regulated by the internal computer which is extremely pricey to replace. I looked into previous recalls and chrysler had defective parts in Chrysler's recall # U87. I was told by Chrysler my vin was not effected but I feel this is in error as I'm having the exact issue in the mentioned recall.

I received notice regarding the recall for this Hybrid vehicle being unsafe to charge and use the electric portion due to the risk of fire. I am also not to park near any structures because of the risk of fire. There is still no fix for this recall, when I attempted to have fix, told there was no fix, then inquired to trade in, I was offered a 2024 grand cherokee hybrid that has the same recall as my current vehicle and no other remedy.

POWER TRAIN
"Check shifter" seems to come on almost everyday. From what I've gathered about it it could shift out of gear while driving. Could be a sensor or harness issue that I was told by a mechanic. No incident yet. This should be recalled as it seems to be a common issue with this Jeep.

ENGINE
Check engine light flashing! Engine misfire and valve grinding a groove in the cam shaft from cylinder #8. There is a service bulletin issued but no recall or warranty coverage for repair and replacement! They know that they have a problem but don’t want to pay for a recall to repair it! I still have all of the parts from the repair!

I was driving my kids to school when the driver seat moved forward on its own and pushed me against the steering wheel. I was able to remain calm and thankfully and move the seat back. Very scary.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am experiencing recurring issues with the Uconnect infotainment system in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Specifically, the system consistently experiences problems with: •⁠ ⁠Station changes •⁠ ⁠Navigation functionality •⁠ ⁠Connecting calls through Bluetooth using my phone's contact list •⁠ ⁠Randomly turning the heating and air conditioning system on and off These issues occur constantly, making it difficult to utilize the Uconnect features safely and effectively. I am concerned about potential safety implications, such as distracted driving or loss of critical vehicle functions.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
My jeep has a screen on the dashboard that controls the radio, navigation, and settings for the vehicle (i.e. the main "navigation screen"). All of the safety and advanced driver assistance systems are controlled through this screen and user interface. There is no other way to control/adjust these systems. There is a widespread issue with the late generation WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokees where the screen delaminates, rendering the entire screen and user interface non-functional. This results in a safety issue where multiple systems (including the ADAS) cannot be cannot be adjusted or used. I reached out to Jeep/Chrysler/Stellantis for assistance in repairing/replacing the screen. The denied a claim to repair or replace the screen. I do not feel safe operating a vehicle where I cannot control or adjust critical operations of the car. I believe this widespread issue of screen delamination should be considered for a recall.

STEERING
While merging onto an interstate, the steering wheel became stuck in the R turn position. In order to return the wheel to the center position, driver had to pull steering wheel back to center. This issue only occurs when the car is going greater than 35 mph. Driver can let go of steering wheel and the steering wheel is stuck in the R turn position and car continues to turn right. It does not happen when turning left or merging left. It happens on a daily basis when merging onto interstate. This issue has increased to about 2-3 times daily for the past 2 weeks and increasing in occurrences. It has been reproduced by a mechanic. No warning lamps or messages appeared on dash.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Jeep app has failed to inform me of recalls in a timely manner. The Gas Buddy app linked to my vehicle VIN provided information within 24 hours of your published recall. I have checked my VIN in your app to verify that it is part of the recall. Since the battery fires can start without notice and could destroy my house and kill my family this should have been immediately sent via the Jeep app. The recall notification on the Jeep app has not been updated since 2 August 2024, also unacceptable - this should be updated at worst weekly. Sending notification by snail mail is not acceptable in the 21st century especially when there is an app and the vehicle has internet connection. The recall should also be announced on the start screen when I start my vehicle.
