The following day I realized this issue and the dealer had stated that since I did not mention it during my visit that they would not fix it for free.

| Dec 2022 | SEAT BELTS | A few days after purchasing this car we noticed the front seatbelts weren’t retracting after unbuckling. After pulling out the seatbelt shoulder strap and inspecting it, it was cut and frayed, which was catching and not allowing it to retract. The front driver and passenger shoulder belts were both like this. We took the vehicle into a jeep dealer and had it checked out and had the seatbelts replaced for obvious safety reasons. The gentleman who worked on our Jeep said he had seen this on other Chrysler models as well. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | In June 2022, Recall Z48/NHTSA 22V-426 was announced. The recall impacts the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland we purchased in September 2022. At the time of purchase, a remedy for the recall was anticipated "soon" and "in a timely manner," according to both the manufacturer and dealership. Nearly 6 months since the recall was announced, there is no remedy. Our business prohibits use of any vehicle with an open recall. Efforts to use the vehicle for other purposes, including rental services (such as Turo, among others) have failed due to the open recall. We have incurred significant financial loss of income as a direct result. The manufacturer refuses to offer a replacement vehicle, refuses return and will not compensate for losses incurred. The manufacturer and dealership both confirm there is "no remedy expected in the immediate future". The vehicle is financed through the dealership, and ongoing payments are expected from the finance company, even as we cannot use the vehicle for its primary purpose. A remedy has not been provided as required "in a timely manner," and the manufacturer's refusal to compensate or accept a return of the vehicle egregious. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Backup camera sometimes stays on after shifting out of reverse and it takes many tries to turn off. It also sometimes comes on randomly while driving and won’t turn off right away. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | SERVICE BRAKES | Jeep dealer has still not issued a repair solution for the open recall on my car that was issued in June 2022. The recall cannot be repaired as Jeep does not have a solution in order to fix. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Recall (22V-426) is now 6months old with no solution. Is car really safe to drive? Cannot sell it. Isn't 6 months too long? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | My rear windshield shattered without any reason. It was a cold morning (30F). I used the remote start feature to turn on the car. When I start the car and start moving, I heard the shattering sound and my whole back windshield is broken. There we no scratches and prior damages on the back windshield. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Ublock radio information center screen delaminating leading to eventual failure | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,SERVICE BRAKES | Outstanding recall Z-48. This recall was first identified in June 2022. The dealers cannot fix the problem because Chrysler Corp. has not provided a solution. This is affecting the operation of the vehicle and probably reducing the resale value. Five months seems to me too long a time not to have a solution. Can the government give them an ultimatum of either provide the fix in the next 30 / 60 days or provide a cash discount on trading in the vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Power rear liftgate top attachment stud holding the power drive to the body of the vehicle sheared off, causing the very heavy liftgate to come crashing down. Fortunately I was able to jump back. The liftgate probably weighs about 150 pounds. It seem that a small 1/4" stud that holding this in place is not adequate for the load. There does seem to be some Internet discussion of this happening to others. This vehicle only has 40,000 miles on it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V699000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint.
