2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE

When crossing the border into Mexico the AEB module falsely reports it has malfunctioned due to "geo fence" limitations. At least that is the cause of the issue per the service department. This causes the AEB system to stay offline and inoperable which also affects the Lane Departure Warning System as well as prevents the use of Adaptive Cruise Control. Supposedly there will be a "Software Update" coming--it was supposed to happen in Q4 of 2023 and now they say Q1 2024 which has ended and no update. The safety of the vehicle is compromised as key safety features are offline.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle brand new and driving to the residence, he became aware that the owner's manual was missing information for hybrid system operation. The dealer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the owner's manual was designed for the vehicle, The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the supplemental information for the hybrid system operation was available on the manufacturer's website. The failure mileage was approximately 75. The contact stated that the jeep Grand Cherokee “hybrid supplement” manual does exist and was sent to him. making the situation all the more confusing and frustrating to the consumer.

Cannot get accurate information from manufacturer about safety recall 24V-132. Both the FCA website and NHTSA date the recall at 2-22-24, which places it before my sales date. They keep providing conflicting information about the date of this recall, which has left me confused and uncertain able the safety of my new vehicle. If FCA sold me a vehicle they knew was defective, had an open safety recall, and they don't have the ability to make the vehicle safe it shouldn't have been sold to me. The attached photos show I took possession on 2-24. The NHTSA and FCA website (FCA website screenshot is provided) show a recall date of 2-22. The 10B FCA recall letter says 2-23. All dates precede my purchase date of 2-24, showing FCA knowingly sold, and financed as this is through FCA financing, a vehicle with an open safety recall without informing me or fixing it.

Hybrid System, Air Suspension System, Engine, Power Train Car acceleration power cut out while driving 50 mph suddenly while driving down the road. Held up traffic when came to complete stop, vehicle would not restart immediately. Needed to restart vehicle multiple times before it started moving again. Problem has not been able to be reproduced by the dealer. They reset codes and took on a test drive and was not able to reproduce the issue. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealer. Currently Check Engine Light is on with Air Suspension Fault Light on as well. There was no warning to the vehicle losing power.

New vehicle within 30 days of purchase date. Vehicle had just turned a corner and went a few more feet driving approximately 5 mph on a flat asphalt RD. The rear end suddenly shook violently, making loud clunking noises and shut off. Vehicle put itself into park. Tried to restart the car and it would only flash all the warning lights. Tow truck took it to Landmark Dodge Jeep in Independence, MO. The shop determined right rear rotor broke in half, and caliper broke off. The rotor breaking cracked inside of wheel. No damage to wheel well, fender, under carriage or body of auto in any way. Turned in the issue to Jeep as defective. They refused to fix it stating turn it into auto insurance. We refused to turn into insurance as it is defective parts. We asked Jeep for a black box report. Jeep refused to run it, so we hired a forensic company to take the black box reading which confirms no possible collision incident. Both black box report specialist and Landmark repair technicians note defective parts are a serious concern on this auto. This could be a larger issue for Jeep. If rotor had broken at a higher speed would have been very serious situation. We are concerned that other 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee owners could be at risk. Jeep has still not responded to our escalation request. They keep advising someone will call us, but it has been over 45 days with no assistance from Jeep in any way. Car is still sitting unrepaired awaiting Jeep Wave escalation to contact us. We do not know if this situation is solely related to the rotor as it could be a larger issue with the vehicle traction control or drive line. We can provide the Semke Forensic Investigative Report findings done by a licensed Senior Mechanical Engineer with NHTSA but ask NHTSA to independently investigate. This is a serious safety concern. Jeep has completely failed to respond or protect us as customers.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving very slowly and making a left turn, the vehicle abruptly stopped nearly causing a rear end collision. The contact discovered that the transmission had erroneously shifted to park and failed to shift back to drive. After a while the contact was able to drive the vehicle to his parents’ residence. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 536.

Driving 35 MPH on a back road, no cars coming the opposite direction, the automatic emergency braking system flashed, beeped and slammed my brakes momentarily. Luckily there was no one behind me. I attempted to pull into a parking lot and the entire electrical system went crazy, all warning lights, systems and sensors went off and I lost power steering. Had I been driving during power steering loss it would have been very dangerous. This is the second time this has occurred with the lights and power steering issue (first time for the AEB system issue) and the dealer kept the car 3 weeks to repair it but clearly the problem persists.

As I was approaching an intersection near the railroad track my vehicle just stopped on its own, the gear switch to Park on its own and I was unable to switch the gear back to Drive or Neutral. Messages on the screen popped up saying “Park Brake Auto Engaged Press Brake + Push Switch to Release” but that didn't worked then received another message saying "Service transmission". So basically I had to call a tow truck because my vehicle was stuck in the middle of the road and there wasn't any way to move it and thankfully it stopped about 100ft before the railroad tracks. As I was waiting for the tow truck, about 15-20 minutes later, I tried pressing the brakes and switch again and this time it worked and was able to restart the vehicle. I called the dealer to get a service appointment and I'm waiting for them to call me back. This issue came with no warnings or prior signs and it was totally unexpected.
