| Apr 2025 | STEERING,SUSPENSION,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | We have an unknown problem with a clunking/creaking noise while driving the vehicle we believe is coming from the front of the vehicle, possibly the suspension or steering. We are not sure we feel safe driving the vehicle since after taking it to the dealer three times in the past year, the dealer acknowledges the clunking but has not been able to identify and fix the issue. We have been told by the dealer it is safe to drive - but if they can't identify and fix the issue - how do they know that to be the case? Without being able to identify the cause of the noise and whatever resulting unusual wear and tear, will we have a catastrophic steering or suspension failure while driving the vehicle? Our 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4Xe Trailhawk, (purchased new) has an "air" suspension - not sure if it's an option or standard on the Trailhawk models. We have had it in to the dealer three times for this issue - this last time the dealer had the truck for 16 plus weeks. The front stabilizer bar has been replaced multiple times, the upper and lower control arms have all been replaced, all four air shocks have been replaced, and a mounting bracket replaced. The dealer told us they opened a Star case with Jeep and the Jeep engineer has been on-site to examine the vehicle. After the engineer requested three different fixes that did not fix the problem, the dealer returned the vehicle and stated they are aware the issue persists and the Jeep engineering group is working on a resolution (even though they no longer have the vehicle in their possession to test solutions). They will notify us when a repair is available. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | Bought my new 2024 Jeep in July 2024 and went to work this morning and came out 8 1/2 hours later to a dead car and the after a jump the engine malfunction light was on called to make an appt to get my car in to see what’s going on. I have noticed that I have been having problems using the car starter sometimes it won’t start and my seat and steering wheel warmers are programmed to come on at all starts and if the temp outside is 40 and above they do not come on. When starting the vehicle it starts very heavy and loud. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | the issues I'm experiencing are a rubbing sound when breaking and turing the wheel. THE CAR TURNED ON AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. nothing worked or responded no matter what you pushed. The brake sensor and lane assist diagnostic fault codes (error codes)popped up which they couldn't find a bulletin or error code to replicate the issue. The vehicle would not read the key fob, it would say the fob had left the vehicle because the door opened, or if i move the key while in the vehicle( bulletin for this issue). I get the call that my vehicle is ready and I'm driving away and the steering wheel vibration coming from the engine between 40 and 49mph feels like I should be driving on rumble strips, but the drive is smooth, this is coming straight from the engine or transmission when you accelerate through the steering wheel. This was not an issue before they ran their tests and fixed said problems. The computers are still updating on the screen and I hope that it evens out when the car turns on and off and the computers reset.NOW TODAY the car starts dinging and error codes are flashing on my dash. It's the lane sensor and the lane assist error code going crazy. This was the issue they couldn't replicate or find a bulletin on. Here's the fun part, the problem becomes more consistent when I apply the brakes. One time the brakes seem to not work properly. All these error codes pop up when you initiate the braking system. Then the final error code was warning me that the breaking system was faulty. I drove it straight to the dealership and left out with them again. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Car consistently will not start after sitting for more than 2 days. Cannot be immeaditly jump started. Talke to dealer and was told that is an ongoing issue with all Gran Cherokee's. A check of their car lot shows most cars needed to be jump started to show clients. They also told be they just had a service meeting discussiong issues with cars and JD power surveys. It was agrred by the sales force the batteries were not powerful enough for the carsa. Stallantis rep said they never heard of this before | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE,SERVICE BRAKES | When driving on any kind of roads the brake pedal has a vibration. I recently changed the tires and it helped a little but the vibration is still there. I want to get this resolved bc I’m afraid of driving sometimes. The vibration isn’t crazy but I don’t know what is causing it. I feel unsafe driving sometimes. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | it failed to shift out of low gear while merging onto the highway and the engine revved up to 6000 rpm as a result. I read that this is happening to other owners and the dealerships are unable to locate the problem. This is the first time that this happened to me, but from what I've read it will happen again. I'm afraid that the engine or transmission might blow up injuring me or or another vehicle next to me on the highway. I'm also afraid that if something does fail that it might cause me to lose control of the vehicle. I currently have a call into the dealership, but with what others have stated online, the dealerships have not been helpful in isolating the problem. There was no indication of any type (lamps or messages) that there was a problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | SEATS | The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that after driving for approximately 9 straight hours, the contact had turned on the driver-side seat warming feature. The contact then stated that she began to feel burns on her upper right thigh and immediately turned off the seat warmer. The contact stated that the burns were so severe that she went to urgent care for treatment. The contact was treated for burn blisters on her upper right thigh. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was instructed to take the vehicle to a dealer to have the seat inspected by a Chrysler investigator. The seat was torn apart and the investigator saw no signs that a breaker was tripped nor any evidence of burns on the heating coils. The vehicle was returned to the contact. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Medical attention | 8,000 |
| Dec 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The key fob does not alway work. It is like the system in the vehicle “times out” and when the buttons are pressed in the key fob nothing unlocks, tailgate doesn’t open, or remote start doesn’t work. The door handle has to be touched for passive entry to “wake up” the key fob. Also, sometimes the vehicle says “key fob not detected” when in the vehicle to start it. At 6 months old the fob batteries had to be replaced. I have brought this up to my dealer and they said Stellantis is aware of the issue and are expecting a fix in the first half of 2025. There are many Jeep Grand Cherokee that are being built to this day with this issue. [XXX] Here is a link to a thread on a jeep forum. I would’ve never bought this car if I knew I would have this key fob issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | SERVICE BRAKES | Total Brake Failure in 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with less than 1800 Miles [XXX] , I was driving my new 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, with less than 1800 miles on it, North on [XXX] in St. Michael, MN, traveling at approximately 30+ mph. I had signaled to turn E on [XXX] . I turned on my signal and began moving slightly to the right to get into the right turn lane, depressing my brake pedal at the same time. The brake pedal with little downward travel (an inch or less?) jammed and would not allow me to depress it any further. I had zero braking ability. A white car heading West on [XXX] , seeing I had my turn signal on and was moving to the right, began to pull out to make the LH turn onto [XXX] and go south. When my brakes totally failed, I swerved violently to the left, as my subconscious mind apparently indicated I was traveling too fast to make the RH turn. The white car continued to enter [XXX] , and by some miracle, I managed to make it around that vehicle as I swerved into the oncoming lane that, thankfully, had no approaching traffic. I continued N on [XXX] and tried several times to depress the brake pedal to stop but could not depress it more than a tiny bit, my wife yelling frantically, asking me what I was doing. I said, “the brakes don’t work!” It was as though the brake pedal had a brick beneath it, even though it did not have any obstruction. With the engine still running, I glided to a stop just short of [XXX], pulling over to the curb as I halted. Still, I could not depress the brake, so I put the vehicle in “park.” The engine still running and being on the main road just short of the turn into the housing development, I thought I should put it in “drive” and go around the corner for safety. The vehicle would not allow me to take it out of park. I tried a several times without su INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The car did not start, the dashboard was on but did not started, where not able to take the electric park to tow it. Vehicle is new, with this weather being left stranded is not safe to go anywhere, you don't know if you will be able to return. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Battery dead (Consistently dies) after garaged for 24 hours. Could not use my car in an emergency medical situation. I cannot depend on my Jeep to start | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | High beams only working when physically holding the handle down. Automatic high beams not working at all and won’t come on unless you turn off automatic high beams. We took it into Flow Jeep in Charlottesville today where they told us they had heard about this issue from others, but that Dodge Jeep had not found fix and continue to claim it works as it’s supposed to. That cannot be when you cannot get the high beams to come on without physically holding the paddle. They cut the automatic highbeams on, which now means I cannot get my highbeams to come on at all unless I physically hold the handle down. You cannot drive holding that down the entire time. The car is now not sensing when it’s evening time and changing the interior lighting, so it’s not as bright. I have to go in and physically change that. We live in the country. This is a huge safety risk. We need Jeep to fix this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE WEEK. NEW VEHICLE, WILL NOT CRANK/START. LESS THAN 60 MILES. THE /BATTERY WAS DEAD, COULD NOT BE JUMPED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the message "Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) Failure - Service Required" was displayed and the emergency brakes were erroneously activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who reprogrammed the AEB system, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 137. | Crash: No Fire: No | 137 |
| Sep 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | Vehicle does not start consistently and when it does it shows reading of “key fob has left the vehicle” when key fob is actually in the car. Car has been towed and would not start. Dealer duplicated this issue and Stellantis says currently no fix. I just park in my garage and hoping they will do the right thing and repurchase and replace my vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | I was driving at 65 mph on highway when warning screen came on ""Service Transmission Continue in D. Do not shift or turn engine off until you reach a desired location. You may not be able to shift again until serviced". Then warnings came up that each of the safety systems are disabled (lane assist, front collision, etc.). I was only a few miles from next. I slowed when exiting, car would not increase power when I tried to merge onto road, had to ride on shoulder to safe place to park. I put car in park, tried to shut it off, but it would not shut down completely. It also would not go out of park. Jeep had car towed, replaced transmission (took 4 weeks). Brand new car with only 866 miles on it. I definitely felt my life was endangered on highway with so many components failing & when car would not shut off. I'm now scared to drive it alone. Luckily I was in a populated area & close to home when this happened. (attached pics were taken when I was parked & car would not turn off) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | STEERING | -Steering boot popped open causing steering rack assembly to need replacement at 3,216 miles. -Power steering warning light engaged making me aware of an issue on 8/5/24. A strange cranking noise when making u turns occurred infrequently. -Car was taken to a repair shop on 8/5/24 where prior suspension, steering and wheel alignment work had been done on 6/25/24 due to fender bender. Diagnostic was performed and repair facility advised that code stated that a "power steering (computer) update was needed" and that Jeep would have to perform the necessary computer update. -Car was subsequently taken to Jeep dealership on 8/5/24 and dealership stated that a new power steering rack assembly was needed and that manufacturer warranty would be notified. Communication from dealership on 8/28/24 added that steering boot was torn and that incident was billed as additional claim to insurance incident on 6/25/24. -Vehicle component has NOT been confirmed by manufacturer and dealership is unwilling to pursue inspection of part because vehicle was involved in a fender bender on 6/25/24 at 2,410 miles. - Initial repair facility does not believe that damage to steering boot existed on 6/25/24. -Insurance representative has confirmed damage and paid additional claim, but cannot confirm if it was caused due to a defect in the part. It is my opinion that this issue may be caused by a defective part due to the timing of the issue and visual inspection of the part. I would like for NHTSA to evaluate the soundness of this power steering component due to the documented power steering component failures and recalls of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo models manufactured 2021-2024. Due to the fact that the two repair facilities provided entirely different reasons for the power steering warning light, I would also request an investigation into the code that should appear when a power steering boot or steering rack assembly fails verses the code for a power steering "computer update". | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The system does not work in my 2024 Grand Cherokee. My dealer agreed to take me out for a drive and after several attempts to get the system to engage (straight on rear end, corner of a stopped vehicle, corner of an exiting vehicle) nothing! No audible, visual or brake jerk. The technician was an awesome driver because he scared the ---- out of us trying to get the system to engage. Service advisor had the tech take out another 2024 GC to perform the same test. We went with him. Same thing.....nothing. In both SUVs multiple tests at varying distance setting were performed. They tried to tell us that nothing is wrong because when diagnostics were run there were no codes, no error messages so no problem. Told them that isn't good enough. They finally agreed to open a "star" (I think) report with corporate and I will be taking my GC into the shop on September 11th through the 13th. There are many other Jeep owners stating the same thing. Effects multiple models and multiple model years. [XXX] has threads that are discussing the problem and Jeep Cares is a member of that forum. I have also seen complaints on a Jeep Compass owners site. I believe Jeep is fully aware but many owners may not be familiar with how the system works. Dealerships are telling customers that they can't fix the system because the diagnostics aren't registering a fault. I had three incidents where I was cutoff by other drivers and the system did not engage. The system is supposed to work at 3 miles per hour or greater, but it doesn't work at all.

| Aug 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | FCA pushed an involuntary software update to our car on August 6, 2024. It completed about 75% of the update and froze, rendering our display and systems unusable. Our back-up camera only works intermittently as does many of the ADAs safety features. We have no temperature controls or radio either. We have been to the dealer multiple times and they are being told by FCA that the entire unit needs to be replaced. A search of social media (reddit) shows that others may be having the same safety issue. The dealer says they have had four more incidents come into their shop. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
