ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My vehicle has 2 recalls on faulty parts that can cause catastrophic failure. There are no replacement parts or repairs available to owners of these cars. FCA US should have offered loaner vehicles to owners a long time ago. Instead, they indicate that they will give loaner cars once the Grand Cherokee breaks down or crashes as a result of the faulty parts. This is not acceptable. I now have a vehicle that I paid over $47,000 for that is useless and worthless - I cannot drive it knowing it could have an "unexpected loss of motive power" and I cannot sell it with 2 serious unrepairable recalls. FCA US needs to be forced to offer loaner vehicles or buy these Grand Cherokees back from owners at a fair price.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
While exiting an automatic car wash, I pressed the brake pedal to put the vehicle in gear and while turning in the lot to go to a vacuum station the accelerator stuck and went to wide open full speed mode and I could not stop it with the brakes. I shot through a vacuum stall, jumped a curb and hit a concrete drain collection box. The air bags deployed but the car was a total loss.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I was on the highway and the vehicle shut off. On another incident I was driving the vehicle and the power steering wen out on the vehicle. On another incident after the power steering went out the vehicle put a notice on the dash to put the vehicle in park when the vehicle was already in park. I tried to turn the vehicle off and it would not allow me to do so. Then after repaired multiple times the battery started to over charge to 21 voltage. At this point, the vehicle is just not safe to drive.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FCA US LLC issued an important safety recall Z46/NHTSA 22V-406 on June 09, 2022. It has been over a year and they have not provided a remedy, with the recall in status 'recall incomplete, remedy not yet available'. Given that this important safety recall can result in loss of motive power and inability to restart the engine, I do not believe this recall being open for a year is acceptable. FCA US LLC has now issued a second important safety recall 66A/NHTSA 23V-411 on June 08, 2023. This second recall can also result in a loss of motive power with the inability to restart the engine. My complaint is that FCA US LLC is identifying safety recalls but is not providing remedies, which is resulting in recalls stacking with no known remedy to prevent a crash or unsafe situation.

ENGINE
Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine Failure and Lack of Accountability by the Manufacturer Dear NHTSA, I am writing to bring to your attention a distressing situation regarding the Jeep Grand Cherokee and its e$th ongine issues. I have been experiencing an ongoing nightmare with my vehicle, which was supposed to be covered by a 100,000-mile engine warranty. However, after only 8,000 miles, the engine suffered a catastrophic failure, and Jeep has chosen not to take responsibility for the problem. It is evident that this engine has a significant factory defect, as my research has revealed numerous cases of the same issue. Many owners have faced similar engine failures, and it is disheartening to see that Jeep has not acknowledged this widespread problem. Compounding the issue is the lack of available spare parts for the necessary repairs. As a result, my vehicle has become inoperable, leaving me with a substantial financial burden and an unusable car. I am writing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with the hope that you can investigate this matter further. The safety and well-being of consumers are at stake, and it is crucial to address this issue promptly and thoroughly to prevent further incidents and ensure accountability from the manufacturer. I kindly request that the NHTSA launches an inquiry into the Jeep Grand Cherokee's engine problems, assesses the extent of the defects, and holds Jeep accountable for their failure to address these issues appropriately. Your support in rectifying this matter would be greatly appreciated by the affected owners and the wider community. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any additional information regarding my case. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this troubling situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Luis Garcia

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The uconnect system on this vehicle locks up, glitches and is unresponsive. This makes the hands free function for cell phone use unreliable at best, as well as all touchscreen functions inoperable. The problems with the uconnect systems make driving the car very distracting and potentially unsafe at times. These problems have been inspected by the dealership service department and confirmed not to be normal. The dealership service technicians have attempted to fix these problems four times by replacing two radios, a touchscreen and reloading software. None of these attempts have been successful. The uconnect system has had these issues starting the first week of ownership Nov 2022
