I have an on going unrepaired recall on the electrical system, charging system and possibly the battery. When apply the brake to start my Jeep the brakes sometimes are locked up and I have to push the start button a few times to release them. I was told that was normal at the dealership.
My vehicle has two issues. One is the heating/cooling components. The car requires the heat to be set at above 75 to obtain any heat, most often it blows very cool or even cold air. It has been in the shop several times, for days at a time with no fix. Picked it up yesterday, they had it set at 77, blew cold air on the drive home, approx. 5 miles. The second and most alarming issue is the 95B recall for Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have had no vehicle for 3.5 months following the recall. Although it did not state no driving, I have felt unsafe doing so. I have had to park in my drive, less than 20 feet from my own home and others while it could take fire even while parked. 1/2/24 I had the prescribed 'fix', a computer reset with no battery replacement warranted. My vehicle has had two battery recalls and one other incident wherein it just completely stopped working. I am no longer able to transport my grand children whose carseats sit over the defective battery. I have had to cease running parts for our self owned business. I have had to pay for a vehicle to drive including gas I would not have needed to purchase. The dealership where purchased would not keep the vehicle on its lot during the recall, they would not provide an alternate vehicle therefore I have lost valuable work and family time due to safety of the car. They also did not want to inspect the car during this time. Also winter on the street parking is not allowed in my community so again I was forced to put myself and others at risk parking near homes. I am seeking total reimbursment as I cannot safely drive. I purchased the car because I wanted to save on gas. Instead I cannot any longer us e the car for my intended purposes. I would appreciate hearing back. I have done all the required work, making the required calls to the manufacturer, receiving never a call back or any assistance there. I have followed up with the dealership, no help there either. delivery date 2/4/23, milage is 22,533. Thanks
95B recall for fire hazard and told to park aware from structures and outdoors. I have to park in a parking garage. I have contacted Jeep multiple times about breaking a lease with no avail.
Recall # 95B/NHTSA 24V-720 involves a critical fire risk associated with the vehicle-??s battery, rendering the vehicle inoperable. I have been unable to use the vehicle for its intended purpose for over 60+ days due to this unresolved high risk issue. Moreover, I am unable to park the vehicle near my home or garage due to the fire hazard, which poses serious safety concerns.
Open 95B recall. High voltage battery safety issue, can cause fire. Advised not to charge, not to park indoors, and away from structures. There is no root cause, no parts, no firm timeline and I the manufacturer has been unresponsive. Initial contact was 10/31, and I have not yet received any follow-up from them (though I have contacted them proactively 3+ times). This is a leased vehicle with 13K miles and the dealer is not helpful, the manufacturer is not helpful, and quite frankly this level of concern is unnerving, and escalated in terms of anxiety and fear for what 'could or might happen'. To top it off not only do we have one of these vehicles, but two of them, both impacted.

jeep cannot tell us when a test will be available to check the EV battery for us. They have no clue when a remedy will be available for this situation. This is unacceptable. They say drive with gas. This car always has some type of electrical charge even without hooking up to charge it. The system creates a charge to the braking system. It always has a small electrical charge so there is a risk of fire in this situation if we have bad battery cells. They are putting people at risk and need to be investigated. Jeep 4xe owners need to be assisted with tests now and repairs now or we need to have our leases and cars bought back. If these were faulty appliances or store bought products they would be returnable.
Uconnect screen blanks out and goes off sometimes preventing back up camera from going on. The system resets and comes back sometimes on it's own other times reset procedure needs to be done. This has been reported to the dealer on many occassions in the last year and a half. Their answer I always the same Jeep is aware of it and working on it. This is a safety issue when back up camera doesn't show on screen and should be remedied. This has happened approx 15 times since my lease started.
The software controlling the driver information system on this vehicle is continually having issues. Randomly, the system will stop working with system rebooting while driving. Normal features like hands free phone calls and navigation will stop responding. This leads to driver confusion and takes attention away from driving the vehicle. Also randomly, chimes will bong with no indication of what is happening on the dash or vehicle display. Attempts have been made for an "over the air" software update via Wi-Fi per the owner's manual, but the owner's manual doesn't accurately describe the navigation and software options of the system (menus incorrect, options are non-existent, etc). This car can be frightening when it suddenly acts up in traffic and there is no indication as to what is happening. This has all randomly happened since the car was new and continues to happen. The date below is just an arbitrary date since it happens consistently since new. This has occurred at any speed or mileage.
Recall Number: 24V-720 Urgent/High Risk for Electric Battery to catch fire while being driven OR parked. Jeep currently has NO remedy for this recall which is designated as an URGENT fire risk when parked. The estimated wait time for a remedy is "months." Jeep has provided no options to the vehicle lessee to ensure operator safety- Jeep/Chrysler is not offering a trade-in option or an alternative vehicle to the vehicle operator at this time. Jeep/Chrysler has not equipped local dealerships with any viable options for owners/lessees to guarantee their safety while a remedy is being researched and formulated. Jeep/Chrysler was contacted and a recall case number was created for my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Lessee was told over the phone that I would receive communication from the Jeep battery recall team in 1-2 business days on October 4, 2024. No communication has been received to date. No warming lamps or messages received until October 4, 2024, with no remedy available.
Started vehicle and had no power steering. Tried multiple times starting the vehicle, no luck. Came back after 45 minutes and tried again and the vehicle was fine.
This is a hybrid motor. All dash error lights come on without warning, and the car becomes immediately disabled and cannot be moved. The transmission is locked.
No warning lights have come on. Two different dealerships have worked on this car 10 different times over the course of a year. In November, 2023 I sent a certified letter to jeep with my concerns and I also contacted Chrysler board of arbitration by phone (# given to me by Ohio Attorney Generals office) on 12/1/23, 12/4/23, 12/5/23 and left messages each time. I never received a call back about my messages so I got an attorney in December 2023 for the rattling noise my car has made almost the entire time ive had it. -Bought in May, 2023 -Heard the noise and put it in the shop for a pre-vacation inspection to fix what was going on before me, my 2 small kids, and my husband drove to Florida. Seemed weird to have such a new car in the shop already with noise safety concerns. -Been back and forth to dealerships more times than I should have to...a couple times theyve had my car for 3 weeks at a time. Everytime I have to unload/load carseats when i drop off and then unload/load back up when i get my car only to find it hasnt been fixed. -My attorney acts like he is at the complete mercy of the manufacturer for a resolution and this lemon case has gone on for 9 months now. -i need a safe, reliable car and for this process to be resolved in a more timely matter. I am currently at a Jeep dealership now becasue again, I will be traveling this weekend with my kids in the car even though I am uneasy about doing so but I cant stop living but it seems unfair and like no one cares that we are driving around in a car that no one can fix or that I paid a lot of money for a reallllly noisey car that I have to take back and forth to the shop a million times and worry and stress about if it going to cause a crash while im driving down the highway.
We were in a serious car accident. We were T-boned and rolled two or three times. We had to be pulled from the upside down Grand Cherokee. Our complaint is the fuel fill line broke and poured 23 gallons of raw gasoline into the car. My husband was overcome by the gas and and to be revived twice. I had blacked out due to the force of the air bags. We were okay with now, we were removed before the car exploded. The gas should have never entered the cabin!!! If our experience could help someone else we would be relieved.
My vehicle displayed a AWD service indicator - took in replaced a module. Same indicator came on 3 months later and needed a front axle disconnect replaced. I only do normal street driving and my vehicle has under 30k miles. All repairs including recalls done at jeep dealer 5 including recalls
Vehicle has a system to diagnose if the connected trailer has an inoperative bulb. The system is incorrectly assessing that the Thule Epos bike racks break lights and turn signal lamps are working, resulting in constant driver distractions from the warning lights. Every brake or turn the system beeps and illuminates warning lights when in fact there is no problems with the lights. Jeep refuses to address the issue as the bike rack is a "third party" accessory and Thule says their system is working so it's a Jeep issue. Warning system is a nuisance causing distractions while driving.
On 7/9/24 I was driving on the highway and jeep began to lose power and speed. I was unable to accelerate to maintain speed or safely pull to the shoulder. Jeep completely lost power and stopped in the middle of the highway and I had to wait with hazards until I could successfully turn on the car and drive again. This exact thing happened again today on 7/16/24 it was very dangerous and scary especially since I was almost rear ended.

Yes I got this in sept 2023 it-??s had 3 recall sense then and now it-??s got be back in shop for 3 days for valves bad and can mess engine up I-??m paying too much money to keep having issues
The radio, which included hands free calling, has been having issues of locking up, connecting calls but the caller not being able to hear the person in the vehicle. In order to correct the issue it requires the driver to reset the radio. This involved multiple choices on the interface to get to the radio reset option. This causes a major safety concern if done while driving. I have taken the vehicle to the service department at the dealer 4 times and been provided a Star Online Publication (S238A000026 Rev. A) dated October 2023 which states "Intermittent radio concerns will be corrected in the 4th Quarter radio software enhancement, updates over the air." I is now the 2nd quarter of 2024 and the issues have not been corrected and this Star Online Publication has not been updated.
