The sunroof glass above the driver/front passenger seats suddenly exploded/shattered while driving on a highway at about 55 mph, for no apparent reason. The sunroof was closed at the time, same as the sun shade underneath it and it was not operated either.
I was driving my usual route home from work during rush hour on [XXX] in Seattle, Wa when my sunroof glass exploded on my 2021 Grand Jeep Cherokee. My first thought was that a tire had blown, it was so loud! Experiencing no loss of control, I quickly realized that the sound was my sunroof glass disintegrating when I heard glass shards rattling overhead. Thankfully my sliding visor was closed as I usually have this open. Of course had it been open I would have had glass shower down on me causing an accident and possibly seriously damaging my vision! I got home safely where I called my car insurance to report what happened. I asked if they wanted me to send photos of the exploded sunroof glass they told me there was no need since it should be a simple fix. Well it has not been so. Insurance sent me to a local collision shop a few days later which turned me away since there was no collision. I called several glass places after this myself and was told by each one they don't deal with replacing sunroof glass. I contacted a Jeep dealership told them my situation, what had happened. The dealership scheduled for me to come in 30 plus days for an inspection since that was first availability. I called several dealerships to try to get seen earlier they were all a month out give or take for appointments. Given the suddenness of the explosion and the apparent absence of any external cause, it seems to me that it was caused by a manufacturing flaw, or design defect, in the glass or its frame. Although I am a longtime owner and fan of Jeep vehicles I find that this was unacceptable since this is obviously a potential safety issue, as well as a major inconvenience. I also feel Jeep should cover the expense on this! I owned a Jeep Compass prior to my Grand Cherokee that had a sunroof and never had an issue. I don't want this to happen to others and this goes for anyone who has a sunroof that this could happen without any warning. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5
I went to turn on my Jeep Grand Cherokee L and received a "service power steering error message". I turned off the car, and when I went to turn it back on the reverse detection warning went off, the odometer consistently blinked and the service engine light came on. I was unable to reverse the car or drive the car forward and required it to be towed. I had two small kids in the car without power steering so significantly at risk. The vehicle is enroute to the local Jeep dealer and there were no warning signs or issues with the car prior.
On [XXX] we pulled car into garage between 1:30 AM 2:00 AM, car caught on fire and burnt entire house down. Chrysler is aware, and 3 fire inspectors said it caught on fire, in the battery compartment. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I started my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the automatic start on November 2, 2023 and 5 minutes later it was in flames. Chrysler has an inspection done but will not tell me the cause. It is a total loss. Chrysler will not give my insurance company the letter of guarantee to complete the claim.
Started noticing hard reverse shift when vehicle was cold. Took to the dealership, tech could not find any issues other than it shifted hard in reverse. Tech found no leaks, performed PCM reflash. Still no problems found. Tech did not check transmission fluid level on vehicle. Must be checked at the dealership. Tech recommended replacing transmission even though could not find any issues. A few days later while driving at highway speed the vehicle suddenly downshifted to 3rd gear nearly causing me to loose control. Vehicle would not shift into fourth gear. Had to limp vehicle home.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" This vehicle as well as thousands of other Jeep, Wagoneer, Ram and Dodge vehicles with the UConnect 5 system has a glitch which causes the navigation to reboot. Forums show this is happening in many vehicles to many owners. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When the system restarts, it changes screens unexpectedly which causes the drivers eyes to be drawn to the screen. The driver also has to take their eyes off the road to push a button to get the navigation off the screen. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the dealer's only offer was to 'factory reset' the system, however that only fixed the issue for a day or so. Then it reverts back to 'TomTom Loading...'. The native Navigation system installed in this system is TomTom. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? I have made many attempts to contact the manufacturer and dealer to get this repaired over the last year only to be told that a fix has not been identified. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" Other than the message of 'TomTom Loading...', no there have been no other messages.
I-??ve had this recall for a while now. Got the notification soon after I purchased vehicle in 2-2022 and manufacture still hasn-??t resolved this issue.
On May 12, 2023 when driving through Albuquerque, NM on I-40 our panoramic sunroof exploded. As best we could tell, nothing hit it and there we no pressures changes as we were on the west side of Albuquerque headed west. Fortunately we did not have it open so no glass got in the car. We called our insurance after we stopped to buy plastic bags and tape to cover the damaged sunroof. Once we got to our destination we called the local dealership and they said they couldn't get us in for 2 weeks. It would have been nice if they said we'll get you worked in to at least cover it to keep rain from getting in. It's now been over a week and the glass is still back ordered and we have not ETA on getting it in. Frustrating that Jeep isn't able to quickly repair what I would call a safety item.
Bought vehicle in October - dealer was only able to give me the vehicle 2 months later. When I picked up the vehicle it smelled like something electric was burning. I texted my sales guy from the lot he didn't respond immediately I thought maybe it's just something outside the vehicle. Brought it home found it there is a recall on this vehicle and it doesn't accelerate efficiently. When I took it back to the dealership the dealer couldn't fix it and refused to take the vehicle back. I have paid my car payments for a vehicle I can't use. Please help me resolve this issue
This is the second time the power steering and other lane assist devices have gone out in my car. It is completely undrivable and Jeep advised last time they didn-??t have a fix.
I was putting my 4 month old baby into the back seat. Simultaneously my mother was trying to open the back hatch to put bags in. As I shut the back door where my son was, my mom somehow ended up locking the car while trying to open the hatch. I was completely?unaware that my key was even in the car. We tried unlocking every single door but nothing was working. I opened my app to unlock it that way and it said "Activation of service in progress. We're configuring your vehicle. Please try again later" and would not let me purchase or click anything.? I recognize it is my error for not re-subscribing to Jeep Mopar services but I do not believe any car should ever lock if there is a key inside of it. On top of this, I tried calling Jeep for assistance. I still have my trials active for assistance and security. The first woman I spoke to told me I had to accept a text message first. As I waited for this to come through, panicking about my son inside, I told her the situation and she said she cannot help, only send someone out there to assist. I found this to be another safety failure on Jeep's part as I was clearly calling from the number on my account, where they were sending a code to verify - I just needed someone to unlock my car remotely OR allow me to purchase Mopar quickly to get back into my app. None of these were options given to me. The woman on the phone said she had to transfer me to someone else. We waited and waited and no one ever came on the phone. It was clear we were disconnected. I called the number again and this time a man answered. When I explained the situation he said, very rudely, that it was a 911 situation, not a Jeep situation.? ?We called 911 and rescue vehicles did arrive but it took a very long time.? It would have been 10x faster to have help from Jeep in that situation and get my car unlocked remotely or been allowed to active mopar for quicker access. I would have been able to open the door to my 4 month old child a lot quicker.?
