Jeep delamination screen on the face of the radio. This is a safety concern that could disable my use of my cell in calling 911 in case of a emergency and also being able to locate the vehicle via GPS. It also disables the SOS function in the radio head. This is a known problem with these radio's but hasn't addressed by the manufacture. I have taken this to my local auto repair shop today and was made aware of the problem and told me to look it up and report it. I am requesting to open a case so that it can be addressed and repaired.

I purchased this vehicle, November 2023 and by August 2024 the vehicle went into Griffin Hubs to get the engine replaced. They had the vehicle for over a month and a half when I received it back after the engine I had it for a day and a half and had to take it back because it was making a loud grinding noise coming from the engine which then they had to replace a second time because the engine was shredded and was told they were going to put a new transmission in as well, but instead of just replaced a piece, and then two months later, the negative terminal for the battery was replaced in about four months later I take it into the dealership again because as I was driving the vehicle pulled back three times and then shot forward and that happened seven separate times dealership said they could not find an issue and then in November 2025, the vehicle goals back into the dealership for overheating needing a new water pump because I was losing coolant with no leaks. Get the vehicle back two days later my coolant is empty tied again call the dealership they said if it happened again, bring it back in two weeks later it did the exact same thing. My coolant was emptied, but there is no leaks coming from under the vehicle and now last week as I was driving, the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating and my gearshift wouldn’t catch any gears and as the vehicle is still moving my tires, then locked. The vehicle has been at the dealership for five days and they still cannot figure out what the issue is.

About 3 years ago i noticed a small bubble in the upper right corner of my touchscreen. Didnt pay much attention for a while but it started spreading to the left. I took a photo and sent a picture to the man that helped me buy my car and asked if there was a known Recall for this. Said he would check, he confirmed there was none. I let it go because i hadnt purchased any extended warranty. Bubbling continued to spread. Occasionally my radio station would change on its own. I thought it was just my imagination and let it go. In July of 2025 my family and i were on vacation and I was driving in Williamsburg, VA. I was using my Jeeps navigation. Suddenly my arrow was taking me off track of the road i was on. This was very distracting considering we were out of town on vacation. My husband took my iphone and typed the address we were going and connected my phone to my charging cord so i could use car play. This did not work and neither did his samsung. It was like they were malfunctioning. We ended up using one of our phones with no connection to my jeep, my husband verbally directed me. Navigation map on my Jeep only showed me in water and still does to this day. When we got back in town I again reached out to the man who helped me, telling him our experience on vacation. He took me to the service center and the guy working the desk knew exactly what i was talking about and said this was common issue. He got me scheduled for repair. I didnt think to ask about if it was free or what. I was just glad he knew what i was talking about. My husband and i came back for my scheduled appt and i immediately asked the guy at the desk if this was free. He stated no it would be around $1500. I couldnt afford that. He asked if i had the extended warranty. I told him no. He said sorry and that was about it. I just walked away and have been dealing with this ever since.

While driving down the road my panoramic sunroof (not the moving piece but the stationary glass) spontaneously burst and shattered. Clear skies, no trucks around me, no overpasses near me, no trees over me, no debris on the road. No other damage to the vehicle. It appears that it burst outward rather than inward. My vent shade was fully closed so no glass fell into the vehicle down onto myself and my 11 month old child, but had it been open we could’ve been seriously cut up and injured. No warning signs at all, I rarely ever use my sunroof and it was not in use at the time of incident. It caused about a 8 inch by 4 inch hole in my sunroof. This is going to cost nearly $1800 to repair due to no fault of my own.

The dash touchscreen is having a delamination issue. It looks like a crack but is actually the two layers of the touchscreen separating which make it look like a crack. From what I see online this looks to be a common issue with the touchscreen but there is no recall. Speaking with the dealership this is an expensive fix. I was quoted $1,725 plus labor to replace the screen.

Electronic stability and 4wd lights came on. Brought to dealership and the PTU is no longer working. My car is vibrating and hesitating when accelerating. Jeep dealer told me it’s common to have to replace these units however they are nationally back ordered. My car doesn’t even have 60k miles on it and even if I want to fix my car so it’s safe I can’t because the parts are backordered leaving me with no other choice but to drive for months months unsafely without a properly functioning PTU
