UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
The 2018 Jeep Grand Cheeroke Uconnect/Radio screen delaminates and causes the unit to make all kinds of error calls, GPS location changes and disabling events, without being touched. This is a serious safety concern and that Jeep or Stellantis should voluntarily recall these units for replacement. The driver's attention gets constantly divided to take care of these extra things while driving.

SEATS
The driver's side head rest popped out and hit me in the back of the head, luckily I was not driving at the time, was stopped at a flagger for road work. It hit so hard that I thought the person behind me rear ended me, however when I looked in mirror that vehicle was nowhere near me. I have not had it to a dealer, nor called them yet, was checking first for a recall that maybe I missed. No warning lights at all, no noise ahead of time.

P0303 code. Misfire in cylinder 3. Blown head gasket. 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Car is only five years old with 115000 miles. Dealer suggested a new engine. A $12,000.00 expense to the consumer. $20,000.00 still owed to bank. After much research, it’s clear as day that this is an engineering flaw. Thousands of Pentastar engines have this recurring failure.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I scheduled a recall appointment for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. The dealer confirmed that the appointment was scheduled and that the necessary recall part had been ordered. However, when I arrived, my vehicle was parked and no work was started. I was not given an estimated repair time, and after waiting for 3 hours, no progress had been made. This recall is mandatory, and the dealer failed to complete it. I am reporting this as a safety issue and request that the matter be investigated.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
We've had the red lightening bolt with wrench warning light go off a dozen times since April 2025. 1st time we were setting in traffic after 100+ mile drive down the interstate.i It sounded like the transmission had dropped into part. My wife thought the car behind us had ran into us. I have had it to the dealer many times about this. They tell me the can't duplicate the red warning light going off so there's nothing they can do. I know I'm not the only one. I see post after post on forums about this problem. Hopefully the new recall will take care of the red lightening bolt (Electronic Throttle Control system) warning light.it happening more often since the 1st. It just went off today 9/15/25. Was going slow and didn't loss of power but other times when running down Hwy you definitely notice loss of power.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
After 95B recall in Late March vehicle had service hybrid electric vehicle system with red wrench. Scheduled appt and it stopped so I canceled. It showed up multiple times again so I scheduled another which was scheduled for Sept 22nd which was the soonest appt available. Statement from my husband : On September 5, 2025 I made three cross town trips while returning home on the conclusion of the third trip I merged onto interstate 94 from Sheyenne Street in West Fargo ND while merging onto the interstate from the on-ramp I was traveling at approximately 60 mph and as soon as I was on the interstate the service warning came on and there was no acceleration as a semi was approaching from behind, the service message was on for a second and went away and the notification was to step on the brake and push the start button. I was able to merge onto the shoulder, avoiding being struck by the semi, and was able to restart the vehicle once it came to a complete stop. On Saturday September 6, 2025 I contacted the dealership and explained how my husband almost got into a severe accident and the vehicle lost all propulsion and said they needed to get it in right away and they had no sense of urgency and said the soonest available was September 11, 2025. It has since been inspected and currently at the dealership Jeep has seized custody of the Jeep •I’m now paying for something you don’t have access to. •The rental they have been given is a downgrade, which is not a “comparable replacement” standard most manufacturers commit to during a stop-drive. Furthermore Jeep endangered my husband, grounded your vehicle, and is now offering you less mobility than you contracted for. That’s a breach of trust, contract, and safety obligations all in one. They continue to send me to voicemails that are full. I went in today and asked for them to provide resolution as the lease is up in 8 months and they were again supposed to update me and have not.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I am filing this complaint regarding my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xE due to repeated and ongoing electrical system failures that present a serious safety hazard. Beginning in April 2025, the vehicle began displaying the warning “Service Hybrid Electrical System.” Shortly after the warning appears, the vehicle will often shut down completely while in operation. I have taken the vehicle to an authorized Jeep dealership on multiple occasions. Each time, I was informed that Jeep is aware of the defect but that no repair is available, as a required software update has not yet been released. In June 2025, I escalated the issue directly to Jeep. During this time, I experienced an incident in which the vehicle lost all power and shut down on a highway, creating a significant risk of collision. Jeep representatives acknowledged the defect as a known safety concern but advised that there was no available fix. Because I cannot afford to park the vehicle indefinitely, I have been forced to continue driving it despite the dangers. Jeep has only provided one month’s car payment as a “goodwill” gesture, which in no way addresses the underlying safety hazard. In September 2025, after seeing a news report about a recall affecting this model, I contacted Jeep again. Initially, Jeep denied that a recall had been issued. Only after I provided them with the recall notice did they confirm that a recall was in effect. To date, no remedy or repair timeline has been provided. This issue has persisted for several months. Jeep has admitted that the defect is a safety concern, yet they have failed to provide a safe and operable vehicle. I, my children, and other motorists have been placed at extreme risk due to Jeep’s inaction. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate Jeep’s handling of this defect, their delay in providing a remedy, and their failure to ensure that affected vehicles are safe to operate.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding the safety of my Jeep. My vehicle has been to the Jeep dealership approximately five times for the recurring Service Hybrid System Error. Most recently, in August 2025, I received this error again along with a check engine light. Each time this error occurs, I notice that my Jeep drives differently, which raises concerns about its reliability and safety. At present, my Jeep has been at the dealership for approximately 25 days. The dealership has indicated that the issue is related to the 73C code. Despite repeated visits, the problem has not been permanently resolved. I am very concerned about my own safety, as well as the safety of others on the road, particularly because I have been informed that my Jeep is part of the 1% recall group. The ongoing malfunction makes me uneasy about driving the vehicle, and I strongly believe this presents a potential hazard. I respectfully request urgent attention to this matter and a clear resolution to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed on an incline, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power in the middle of the roadway. The contact was unable to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, but the vehicle was able to be immediately restarted. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure occurred a second time weeks later. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to conclusively provide a diagnostic result, but tentatively related the failure to a software error within the hybrid control processor. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V576000 (Electrical System). The VIN was included, but parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 26,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, which experienced a serious mechanical failure on [XXX], at approximately [XXX] CDT in Detroit Lakes, MN. While exiting a ZIPS Car Wash at low speed, my vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of power and/or propulsion. I believe the engine shut down without warning, and the vehicle would not respond to throttle input or move forward. I attempted to restart the vehicle, but it remained unresponsive for several seconds. During this time, another vehicle behind me was unable to stop in time and rear-ended my Jeep, causing damage to the rear of the vehicle and my vehicle. This incident appears consistent with two known recalls affecting this model: • NHTSA Recall 25V576 (September 2025) – Hybrid control software defect causing unexpected engine shutdown and loss of propulsion • NHTSA Recall 23V503 (June 2023) – Engine shutdown and loss of drive power due to internal control module failure Required info: • Component/System Failed: Engine and/or propulsion system. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. • Safety Risk: The sudden loss of propulsion left me stalled when exiting the car wash with no ability to move, directly leading to a rear-end collision. My safety and the safety of the driver behind me were put at risk due to the unexpected failure. • Reproduction of Problem: The issue has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, but it aligns with known recall conditions. • Inspection Status: The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Jeep or insurance representatives, but I am initiating claims and service requests immediately. A police officer was present but it was on private property and no report was created. I have the officers card and number for follow up as needed. • Warning Lamps or Symptoms: Unknown INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
My 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe began with an intense burning smell followed by the “Service Hybrid Electric Vehicle” warning light illuminating. After this, the vehicle experienced numerous electrical issues with the infotainment system, and the air conditioning failed. At one point, both the service and battery lights came on and the car lost all power, would not shift from park, and could not move. The service light continued to illuminate a total of eight times. During the seventh and eighth occurrences, the vehicle became unsafe: once while stopped, the electric and motor systems appeared to fight for power, and the next time while traveling around 55 mph, the car suddenly lost power and rapidly decelerated, creating a serious risk of a rear-end collision. This problem has been reproduced by the dealership, who attempted to replace the Module Control Module without success. Dealership and myself contacted the manufacturer and were told there is currently no fix and to “hang tight” until one is available. Due to the severity and ongoing nature of the issue, I have also filed a claim with NCDS USA for further support.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee 2022 4xe lost power while I was going 65 miles per hour on the freeway. I had great difficulty getting to the side of the freeway nearly being struck by other drivers. I had no power steering and no way to put my hazard lights on when the car lost power. The jeep is still not drivable at this time and is at the dealership.
