Feb 2026 STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE I have a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I purchased July 19, 2024.I started having operational problems with the vehicle within two months. The car was in and out of the dealership five times through Nov. 2025. Each time the problem was verified by the service department and documented as such, including an incident of the engine shutting down when entering the expressway. I filed a lemon law claim September 2025, and settled December 2025. However, no reimbursement has been received. On Feb. 15, 2026, my car shut down completely as I was exiting a belt driven car wash, resulting in crashes of two vehicles in back of me. I had no control of shifting gears to move forward.

Feb 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES While driving down the road on the highway, the hood randomly popped open, engaging the emergency breaking system extremely harshly. Then the vehicle was unable to shift back into gear. Reported problem to dealer and no codes shown for the incident. Jeep (FCA/Stelantis) potentially had the system like Volkswagen when it knows it took it up to the diagnostic system to not show codes were an injury or something serious could’ve happened. Warning indicator lights, and all kinds of indicators were going off in the vehicle at the time of incident, but not the very next day from the dealership plugged it into the system.

Feb 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE My 2024 grand jeep Cherokee 4xe was purchased brand new in 2025. Since then it was been in the shop on numerous occasions. Recalls with no remedies. The car lost power on the interstate with my child in the car. This is going to cause death or serious injury. This car needs to be purchased back by Jeep. I am paying on a loan for an undriveable car at no fault of my own. I was told by the car salesman that this vehicle was in great condition. They knew the issues when selling me the car late last year.

Feb 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM • Component/System: The high-voltage battery system in the plug-in hybrid propulsion system is subject to an active safety recall related to potential fire risk. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. • Safety Risk: The manufacturer has instructed owners not to charge the vehicle near structures and to park it away from buildings due to the risk of battery fire. This creates an ongoing safety concern because normal charging and garaging cannot be performed safely, altering how and where the vehicle can be operated and stored. After speaking with my homeowners insurance, if the home were to catch fire through this vehicle, the claim would be denied because there is an active recall stating not to charge the vehicle. • Reproduction/Confirmation: The condition has been confirmed by the manufacturer through the official recall notice. The dealer has not attempted a repair because no remedy is currently available. Despite visiting the dealer, the dealer still states not to charge the car in the house. • Inspections by Others: The vehicle has not required inspection by police or insurance representatives. The issue is acknowledged by the manufacturer as part of the recall, and no repair procedure has been released to dealers. • Warning Lamps/Symptoms: There were no specific warning lamps prior to receiving the recall notice. The issue was identified by the manufacturer and communicated through recall notification rather than a driver-observed failure. The recall notice is the first indication of the problem.

Feb 2026 SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE I had just got in and started my Jeep and noticed the ABS light and Brake light was on, so I went straight to the dealer and the abs had an internal failure and has to be replaced.
Incident: Jan 2026
Crash: No Fire: No Unknown
Jan 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE This complaint is being filed as an update to prior NHTSA complaints regarding the same vehicle and Recall 78C. The issues described below remain unresolved. My vehicle is subject to Recall 78C, which warns of a defect that may result in catastrophic engine failure due to an engine block casting issue. The recall was issued approximately 90 days ago, and the status remains listed as “remedy under development,” with no repair available and no timeline provided. Since the recall was issued, I have contacted Stellantis three separate times in writing requesting: confirmation whether the vehicle is considered safe to operate while the recall remains open, and transportation accommodation while no remedy exists. None of these emails have received a response. I also contacted two authorized Jeep dealerships seeking transportation assistance. Both initially stated they do not provide loaner vehicles and are not required to follow corporate directives. Both later stated loaner vehicles do exist but were unavailable and subject to a waitlist; however, neither dealership took my information or placed me on a waitlist, nor provided any follow-up. No meaningful transportation accommodation has been provided. I have been advised only that rental reimbursement may be available, which does not prevent continued operation of the vehicle. As a result, I am being forced to continue driving a vehicle under an active safety recall that explicitly warns of possible catastrophic engine failure, without a remedy, without a timeline, and without alternative transportation. This complaint is submitted to document the prolonged lack of a remedy, manufacturer non-response to repeated safety inquiries, failure to provide interim accommodation, and continued requirement that I operate the recalled vehicle.

Jan 2026 POWER TRAIN,ENGINE CRITICAL RECALL: NHTSA 25V-766 / FCA 78C (NO REMEDY AVAILABLE SINCE NOVEMBER 6, 2025) Status: INCOMPLETE - REMEDY UNDER DEVELOPMENT Risk Level: CATASTROPHIC Safety Risks: • Sand contamination in the engine from a manufacturing defect • Catastrophic engine failure • Vehicle fire • Unexpected and unrecoverable loss of propulsion while driving • Vehicle crash without prior warning • Risk of occupant injury or death • Risk of injury to persons outside the vehicle • Property damage Current Status: 'Remedy is under development' - NO FIX EXISTS. This recall has been open for 82 DAYS (since November 6, 2025) with no estimated timeline for repair parts availability. For nearly three months, FCA US has acknowledged that this catastrophic defect exists but has failed to develop or provide any remedy. Recall 78C: "The 2.0L engine in your vehicle may be contaminated with sand from the casting process. Sand from the casting process can contaminate internal engine components, leading to a catastrophic engine failure, which can result in a vehicle fire or an unexpected and unrecoverable loss of drive power. A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle, as well as property damage. A loss of drive power may result in a vehicle crash without prior warning"
Incident: Nov 2025
Crash: No Fire: No Unknown
Jan 2026 ENGINE Manufacturer officially admits a risk of catastrophic engine failure and vehicle fire due to sand contamination, but states that no remedy is available. There is no remedy for the engine fire risk (Recall 78C). I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. The dealership (Fred BEANS, Doylestown PA) confirmed the recalls but cannot fix the engine issue. I am requesting a vehicle repurchase (buyback) because the safety risk is unresolvable at this time. ​I am filing this complaint because my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is subject to a high-priority safety recall (25V-766) involving catastrophic engine failure and vehicle fire risk. ​Despite the manufacturer admitting that a remedy is currently unavailable, I have attempted to resolve this through Jeep Customer Care (Case #95326573). However, the Case Managers have failed to provide any resolution or safety assurance. I have informed them that I do not feel safe operating a vehicle that could catch fire or lose power on the highway, yet they continue to delay the process and offer no alternatives. ​Management at Jeep Cares is not solving this issue and has left me stuck with an unsafe, fire-prone vehicle. The lack of a remedy combined with the lack of effective corporate support is unacceptable for a safety-critical defect. I am requesting NHTSA's assistance in ensuring the manufacturer takes immediate responsibility for this dangerous situation.

Jan 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE Component Failure: This vehicle has suffered a recurring "Loss of Motive Power" (LMP) while in motion. On [XXX], for the third time, the internal combustion engine shut off completely while the vehicle was being driven in traffic. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: This incident occurred on a public road in New York during a severe winter storm with over a foot of snow on the ground. There were two children in the vehicle. The sudden loss of propulsion in heavy traffic and hazardous weather conditions created an immediate risk of a rear-end collision and left my family stranded without power or heat in freezing temperatures. Confirmation & Inspection: This is a documented, repeat failure. The manufacturer has confirmed the defect previously and even reimbursed me for a prior repair attempt. However, the issue remains unresolved. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Jeep dealer during previous failures, but the "remedy" provided was ineffective. I am currently awaiting a new inspection for this third occurrence. Symptoms & Warnings: Prior to the total engine shutdown, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated on the dashboard. In previous instances, the manufacturer cited software errors or internal contamination as the cause. I suspect this is related to existing NHTSA Recall 25V-766 (Engine Sand Contamination) or Recall 25V-710 (Hybrid Control Software Failure). Additional Context: Despite the life-threatening nature of this repeat defect, the local dealership refused to provide a loaner vehicle, and the manufacturer (Jeep Wave) is refusing to fully cover the cost of a rental vehicle. I am currently paying out-of-pocket interest on delayed reimbursements from the manufacturer. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Jan 2026 POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM My vehicle is subject to FCA Recall #78C / NHTSA Recall #25V-766, which identifies engine contamination that may lead to catastrophic engine failure, vehicle fire, or unexpected and unrecoverable loss of propulsion, potentially resulting in a crash without prior warning. The recall is currently listed as incomplete, with the remedy under development and no repair parts available. I contacted Stellantis Client Services to request guidance regarding safe operation of the vehicle while this recall remains unresolved and to inquire about any interim accommodations or support. Stellantis has advised me in writing that no assistance, accommodations, or compensation are available at this time and that I should wait until a remedy becomes available. Given the severity of the risks acknowledged in the recall and the absence of any interim safety guidance or mitigation measures, I am submitting this complaint to document the situation and request review.

Jan 2026 UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (plug-in hybrid), VIN: 1C4RJYB69RC714841, due to repeated loss of propulsion events while driving, including during highway merging. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has: Shifted into neutral without any driver input and failed to accelerate while merging onto a highway, behaving as though it was stuck in a gear or in a protective failsafe state Most recently, while accelerating onto a highway, the vehicle would not respond to the accelerator pedal, forcing me to pull off the roadway. I had to place the vehicle into Park, wait briefly, and then resume driving in order to restore propulsion. Twice i had to perform this on the on ramp. Very dangerous! These are the most recent incidents that have occurred, but the issue has happened at least half a dozen times before. Only now, more often. While driving in Hybrid mode (on January 17th, 18th with my daughter present; also occurred on Jan 22 (after leaving Jeep dealer and having performed TCM & PCM updates), Jan. 23 & 24) With the hybrid battery depleted (normal operating condition) With no warning lights, alerts, or messages displayed before or during the events The vehicle was taken to an authorized Jeep dealership (Safford Brown in Sterling, VA), where PCM and TCM software updates were completed, and the dealer reported “no issues found.” Despite this, the loss of propulsion issue has continued to occur. This condition presents a serious safety risk, particularly during highway merging and acceleration, where the inability to accelerate could result in a collision. The issue appears to be intermittent and does not consistently trigger fault codes or warning indicators. I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue for potential investigation, as it involves unexpected loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Danette Spruston

Jan 2026 ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ENGINE The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while his son was driving 50 MPH on the expressway in subzero temperatures, the vehicle started to shake abnormally. The driver pulled over and noticed oil on the undercarriage of the vehicle. The driver waited for three hours in hazardous weather for tow truck assistance. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who determined that the PCV valve had frozen and referred the contact to the local dealer for assistance. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, but the dealer was closed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and determined there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle for the failure. No assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Jan 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE My 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is subject to two active safety recalls that have rendered it unusable for over one month. RECALL 1 - BATTERY DEFECT: Vehicle subject to recall for high-voltage battery issues. Stellantis installed software to throttle charging but has NOT replaced the defective battery components. This is a temporary workaround, not an actual repair. The manufacturing defect remains in the vehicle. RECALL 2 - ENGINE SAND CONTAMINATION (Recall 78C/25V766): Vehicle may have engine contaminated with sand from casting process. Stellantis's recall warns of catastrophic engine failure, vehicle fires, and unexpected loss of propulsion. When I contacted Stellantis, I was told there are NO parts available and NO timeline for repair. IMPACT: Due to fire risk and catastrophic failure potential, vehicle has been sitting unused for over one month. I cannot safely drive it. MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Stellantis refuses buyback despite having no ability to repair these manufacturing defects. Software throttling is not a repair. No parts exist for engine fix. These are manufacturing defects Stellantis admits through recalls, yet they leave consumers with $80,000 vehicles that are unsafe to drive and cannot be repaired.

Jan 2026 POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL While driving in the Los Angelas area on March 24, 2025, on the 210 Freeway approaching the 605 Freeway the vehicle abruptly decelerated from 65mph to 45mph. A message appeared instructing "continue to your destination, do not turn off your engine, if you turn off your engine you may not be able to start it again." We contacted Jeep Connected who directed us to Cerritos CDJR. As we were heading south on the 605 Freeway the vehicle again abruptly decelerated to 28mph. This placed us in a dangerous safety situation as we were at the height of the afternoon traffic. The Service Advisor was able to determine that the Valve Body(VB) and Transmission Control Module(TCM) had failed. Also, both batteries were fully drained of their charge. The mileage was 4095. The comment was that the batteries contributed to the VB/TCM failure. We have continued to experience battery degradation with five (5) batteries having been replaced within the first year of ownership. We continue to identify battery degradation to the dealership but have received no correction to this defect. Over the past four (4) months we have documented "resting" battery voltage at a level where they are at or below 50% of their expected lifetime. While it is suggested that parasitic drain is the cause, we continually ensure that lights, radio, heating and air-conditioning and Jeep Connected are turned off when parked. I have documented to the Utah Division of Consumer Protection and NCDS these conditions. The ruling from NCDS is: DENIED. "I have reached this conclusion for the following reason: the customer did prove by shop work orders a Manufacturer defect does exist with the batteries discharging, which has affected the use and safety of the vehicle. However, there has only been three repair attempts with replacing batteries which is not considered unreasonable in my opinion." With the recognition by an Arbitrator that a manufacture defect exists which affects safety, it cannot be limited to my vehicle.

Jan 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM My Jeep does not charge when plugged in. I've had it at the dealership 6 times in the past 2 years and they are unable to fix this. There is a current recall. I am advised to not charge the vehicle, don't park near structures, don't park near other cars. I have no street parking in the village of Fairport during winter. I'm a teacher at an elementary school and there's no where to park away from other cars. I took my Jeep to the dealership after Stellantis approved rental reimbursement until a fix for the recall was developed. Rental reimbursement approval is in 30 day increments. I submitted my receipt to Stellantis for reimbursement as instructed. It's been over a month and I have no reimbursement check. I'm am not out over $2000. waiting for my preapproved rental reimbursement. I turned my rental in and picked up my jeep from the dealership for fear of never being reimbursed for the rental. I am now driving an unsafe vehicle that is being parked next to my home and near cars and busses at school wear I teach. I have email records of all communication with Stellantis/Jeep US customer Care.

Jan 2026 SEATS,ENGINE The vehicle is a leased 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was taken out of service due to two manufacturer safety recalls. The dealership retained possession of the vehicle for approximately eight (8) days to complete recall-related repairs. During this period, the vehicle was not safe to operate and no loaner vehicle or alternate transportation was provided. The dealership instructed us to obtain a rental vehicle, stating verbally that it would be covered. Relying on this instruction, we incurred rental and transportation expenses. After returning the rental, we were forced to rely on other private transportation, including Uber, solely because the recalled vehicle remained unavailable. Despite the vehicle being disabled due to manufacturer safety recalls, the manufacturer has refused to fully reimburse these transportation costs. Throughout this period, we continued to pay our monthly lease payment in full and had no reasonable means of transportation. The vehicle has now been returned. This complaint is submitted to document the handling of safety recall repairs that resulted in extended loss of use, lack of alternate transportation, and out-of-pocket expenses borne by the consumer due to a manufacturer safety defect.
