| Date | Component | Summary | Severity | Mileage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 2021 | AIR BAGS | Our Jeep just hit 9k miles and the Airbag Service Light has turned on and it gives a warning of it each time you start the vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING | Both head lamps went out on a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Manufacture say it is maintenance issue, but both going out at the same time is too much of coincidence. There must be a electrical issue (Which is covered under warrantee) that cause this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION | Screen display will freeze while putting car into drive from reverse, thus having the back up camera stuck on the screen while driving. This recall was issued for my make and model, but my VIN was not included. Please report this is happening in my car to ensure my car is included in the recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2021 | ENGINE | Minor leak in EVAP system. Unsure if malfunction is due to a bad sensor | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2021 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | Backing out of garage to driveway just a few feet. Car suddenly accelerated on its own to a very high speed in Reverse. Knocked down a tree and busted through the neighbor's garage wall. Attempted to pump brakes but it did not help one bit. My safety was at risk and luckily I was not hurt. Luckily there was no one in the alley or at my neighbor's driveway or garage. People could have been killed based on how fast the car suddenly accelerated. No warning lights were on prior to the incident. Nothing to indicate there was a problem with the car. When the car stopped as a result of hitting the garage wall, it was still in reverse. There is $20k damage to my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The collision company said they will make sure its safe to drive but I'm not sure if it should be inspected elsewhere. I will contact a dealer to inspect after collision company releases the car. How am I to drive this car again not knowing if this could happen again and potentially result in death of someone? The car is certainly available for inspection. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
| Sep 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the STOP/START system failed to operate as designed. The contact stated that while driving with the STOP/START system engaged and the vehicle was stopped at a stop sign or a traffic light, the STOP/START system failed to engage the engine. The contact had to put the vehicle in park and restart the vehicle. The failure was experienced twice. The contact stated that the STOP/START system light illuminated on the instrument panel and stated that the system needed to be serviced. The vehicle was taken to the dealer do be diagnosed. The mechanic failed to retrieve a fault code. The dealer also tests drove the vehicle and was unable to duplicate the failure. However, the contact stated that the Mopar computer sent an email alert that the STOP/START system needed to be serviced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 23,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 23,000 |
| Jul 2021 | STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I was driving on a highway on June 18, 2021, from Houston to Galveston (TX), at approx. 30 mph given traffic at that time, and suddenly the dash board started blinking and malfunctioning, I realized I lost the speedometer showing me only horizontal lines, the brake light turned on (red) and it felt like I did not have appropriate control of the steering wheel, it was very stiff. I was able to reduce the speed, turn on the emergency lights, tested the brake and then take the exit into the feeder and stopped and turned off the car. I called the River-Oaks Chrysler-Jeep service unsuccessfully. I waited 15-20 minutes and then turned on the car to see that the engine sign was on, this was not the first time that I've got this sign and even received emails with a warning for which the car was taken accordingly for service and I was told by the advisors that if the engine sign was on, the car was drivable but if it was blinking it was not drivable. One time, after having one of these situations with the engine warning light on, the next available day I brought the car for service and because the light was already off, I was told that the system might have reset and that no action was needed at that time. I decided to proceed my trip given that the steering wheel felt that is was back to normal, tested the brakes and drove to my destination, using the feeders and at very low speed. The next morning I called the Jeep service and talked to the advisor (Mr. Fernandez) over the phone, explained what happened and he reassured me that I could safely drive the car back to the dealer given the fact that the engine light was on but not blinking. Car was dropped for service on June 22, after being parked for those days. The ABS module was reported to have an internal failure and it was replaced. This has been a repetitive event but this last time was critical in terms that I lost confidence in this vehicle. The administration at this dealer is fully aware of these events. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Stops and needs to be put in park to restart, was determined not related to start stop or batteries . Jeep still in shop part not available for undetermined length of time | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2021 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I was driving around 75mph on the interstate for about an hour (not using cruise control) when all of a sudden the accelerator no longer worked. There was no warning, no error lights or codes or anything. I tested the brakes and they still worked. I was able to coast to a stop on the breakdown lane. I waited about 20 seconds and restarted the car and everything worked again. This is my son's car that I was driving and it's really concerning because I thought I bought a safe car for him. I'm an experienced driver, but either way it's extremely dangerous. I looked information up about this issue and I guess it's been happening quite a bit according to the internet. Someone mentioned that the 4 PCM torx head t15 mounting screws that hold the PCM faceplate to the protective metal case where the circuit board is housed are too long. (Not the 3 bolts that hold the PCM to the mounting bracket) When there was a vibration or shift, the screws touched the circuit board shorting everything out and causing the engine to stall. The owner put washers with the 4 little t15 screws and were able to fix the problem. I think there needs to be a recall. I'm afraid to drive the car myself or have my son drive it. I'm taking it to the dealer, but I don't think they'll be able to recreate the situation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | POWER TRAIN | VEHICLE STALLING AND JUMPING WHEN SWITCHING GEARS | Crash: No Fire: No | 28,000 |
| Apr 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION | THE SCREEN THAT DISPLAYS RADIO AND NAVIGATION AND REAR BACKUP CAMERA FREEZES UP AND CAMERA WILL NOT DISPLAY. THE SYSTEM DOES THIS INTERMITTENTLY AND WILL POWER ITSELF OFF AND ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT REBOOT UNLESS I STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN OFF THE ENGINE, RESTART THE ENGINE AND TAKE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE TO FREEZE UP AND LOSE THE DISPLAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I'M DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE DECEMBER 2020. THE RADIO MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE. THE SECURITY GATEWAY MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT NOTHING HAS HELPED. I'VE TAKEN IN BACK 4 TIMES SINCE JANUARY 2021 FOR THE SAME ISSUES. | Crash: No Fire: No | 25,000 |
| Mar 2021 | POWER TRAIN | I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE DRIVE (D) INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING.

| Feb 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SEATS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | THE DISPLAY/ELECTRONIC SYSTEM APPEARED TO BE HIJACKED DURING MY COMMUTE TO WORK. THE HACKER BEGAN BY CHANGING THE RADIO FROM SIRIUS XM TO AN AM STATION, THEN BEGAN CHANGING SETTINGS (CLIMATE CONTROL OF SEATS), VIEWED CONNECTED DEVICES (USB, MEDIA ETC.), THEN SWITCHED TO VIEW THE REAR VIEW CAMERA, VIEWED THE COMPASS, VIEWED PHONE SETTINGS AND DIALED THE LAST NUMBER DIALED FROM MY PHONE. THE HACKER KEPT GOING BACK TO SETTINGS, REAR VIEW CAMERA, RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AND CONTINUED EVEN AFTER I HAD STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED MY CELL PHONE OFF. I LEFT MY PHONE OFF UNTIL I ARRIVED AT WORK AND THE HACKER WAS STILL MESSING WITH SETTINGS AND RADIO. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND OPENED THE DOOR TO DROP THE DISPLAY AND ALL ELECTRONIC AUXILIARY POWER. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2021 | AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE,ENGINE | MY VEHICLE (2019 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE) WAS ONLY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH WHEN I WAS STRUCK BY 4-DOOR CHEVY SILVERADO (DRIVER-TO-DRIVER COLLISION) THAT WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON GREEN, SO ONLY GOING ABOUT 3-5MPH. THE TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT NONE OF MY JEEP'S DID. MY JEEP'S ENTIRE FRONT AREA WAS CRUSHED, AND DRIVER'S SIDE EXPERIENCED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AS WELL; RESULTING IN MY JEEP BEING TOTALED. EVERYONE AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS SHOCKED THAT MY JEEP'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, I BUSTED MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AND 6 WEEKS LATER, I STILL HAVE A KNOT ON MY FOREHEAD.

I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE SO THERE'S CARS GOING 60-80MPH FLYING PAST ME. ONCE I GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND DOWN TO 5-7MPH THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPS (HARD STOP).
