I bought the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited in 2021. Since I bought it I have had one problem after another with this SUV. This is the list of repairs on my car since 2021... and Jeep has done nothing to compensate for my troubles. I feel like I got a lemon of a car and I would never purchase another jeep again. We have maintained the car and have records of all oil changes and tire rotation and all necessary maintance that should have been done on the car. July 31 2024... evaporator core fixed car leaking all over AC fixed... jeep couldn't find problem then finally did. Oct. 4 2024.. new radiator... car leaking all over... once again hard time finding problem March 26, 2024... two new batteries installed car hard time starting... was not problem cause March 27, 2024.. same problem brought back and now I need a fuel pump ( car had burning smell and I was driving it because they could not diagnose the problem )and because they made we wait a week to get it checked out they said there could be more damage to car not sure. Fuel pump should last 100,000 miles.. my car has 68, 000.00 In the three and half years with this car I have had one safety problem after another and I am upset I travel to help my elderly parents on Long Island and each time I am afraid something is going to go wrong with this car. I am so very upset on how the performance of a three year old car is running. I feel people need to know that Jeep is not a reliable brand of car. I am so upset and feel that my car is not reliable and safe for driving long distances and short distances. Thank you for listening to my story. I appreciate you letting others now how my experience with Jeep has been. Thank you

I have a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has 8506 miles on it, I am the original owner. 7 months ago I was in the neighborhood, and it started hesitating, and the engine stopped, no warning lights nothing, after waiting I started it back up and drove home, and it has been fine until last Saturday. Saturday we were at a busy red light in the turn lane, light turned green I turned, car shut off no warning lights nothing. I was stuck in the middle of traffic and could not move the car. The jeep was towed to the shop, premature fuel pump failure. My problem with this is it could have gotten me killed or my children. Two weeks outside the warranty and I am out an extra 2000.00, because unless your car is dead, or it is a recall the jeep dealership always sends the car back saying they can not find anything wrong, extremely dangerous situation to be put in, I am just grateful I was not on the highway when it happened the second time.

Driving down an interstate at 70 mph, suddenly the car hesitated a couple of times and the engine stopped. I coasted to the side of the road. No warning lights. I am now sitting on the side of an interstate with 18 wheelers flying by and I am miles away from a town. Two and a half hours later we were towed to a jeep dealer. They performed a diagnostic with results being failure of fuel pump and wiring (intelligent power ipac). Dealership made repairs. I feel our safety was at risk because there was 1. No warning/ 2. Possibility of being unable to get off the road in this situation/ 3. Sitting on a busy interstate, waiting for help. In checking online I found more people complaining about the same thing happening to them, so I feel this is not an isolated incident.

I was driving approximately 55 MPH on the highway when my vehicle suddenly lost all acceleration. I received an alert on the dash and a chime - the alert stated "Shift to P to Start" - with no other warnings and no CEL or Check Engine light. Pressing the gas, even to the floor, did nothing. I was forced to brake the car to a stop on the shoulder, shut off the engine, and restart the vehicle. Afterwards, I experienced some slight hesitation which resolved, and then was able to drive the rest of the trip without issues. Having the vehicle lose all power on the highway without warning is a serious safety issue.

Vehicle shuts off (engine) randomly during driving. This is the third occurrence. After waiting a few minutes vehicle is ‘fine.’ Dealership is not able to ‘replicate’ the issue. Serious safety issue. How can I operate my vehicle ethically, when I know it could shut off randomly … particularly on a fast moving highway? Dealership says it sees no error codes or issues. My hunch is an issue with the fuel pump? Perhaps a fuel sensor? PLEASE HELP! I am scared to death of driving my vehicle, and I feel I am not being offered the assistance I need.

It has been observed that the antifreeze and oil are intermixing in the antifreeze reservoir, causing the check engine light to illuminate and the system to register a code of PC304. This particular code is indicative of a cylinder misfire, which can cause the car to stop functioning properly and eventually lead to potential engine damage. To resolve this issue, it is imperative to replace the oil cooler filter adapter and flush the engine. This will ensure that the antifreeze and oil are no longer mixing and the engine is functioning efficiently. Therefore, it is highly recommended to take immediate action and get the necessary repairs done to avoid any further damage to the engine.

Vehicle lost power and stalled on major highway during rush hour traffic. Would not restart. Due to the amount of traffic and sudden deceleration, vehicle was impaired on a major throughway. No warning lamps appeared and all sensors were within normal range prior to incident. Vehicle was towed to Jeep dealership and confirmed the problem was a defective fuel pump. Simply not acceptable for a relatively new, well-maintained vehicle with only 25,000 miles. Incident could have caused serious bodily harm given the abrupt loss of power and major highway on which the incident occurred.
