Unknown or uncertain about needing a recall. Recently my car has been having trouble with acceleration in the sense that either it will lag or stall out and at times will give acceleration even without me trying to depress the gas harder. It sputters like it either cannot get gas or the fuel system is faulty, it keeps throwing codes and the check engine light dings and flashes. Cruise control sometimes will not come on, theres a burnt smell and rough idles, I have noticed a deep humming sound under my feet while driving, and sometimes when shifting from park to gear it jerks really hard, going down the road it acts like it takes too long to shift. It really is very scary when it does these things, its a daily occurrence. Sometimes it drives just fine then all of a sudden will malfunction. I've only had the car not quite 2 years and they said they repaired the recalls in 2018, after I had scheduled an appointment for July 2025.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that after driving into a parking space and switching to the park position, while pressing the brake pedal the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration and crashed into a building. The driver immediately switched the transmission to the reverse position and the vehicle again experienced unintended acceleration while pressing the brake pedal and drove in reverse at a high rate of speed crashing into two parked vehicles. During the incident the air bag did not deploy. The driver sustained a concussion and neck injury which later required medical treatment. The vehicle was destroyed and towed away. A police report was taken at the scene. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer was notified of the crash but no assistance was offered. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 67,500.

The Jeep transmission wont go into gear, loses power ,wont go into reverse, speeds up on its own and doesn't go into drive or losses power.

My 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee “electric stability control” warning light appears on the dashboard. My vehicle accelerates/decelerates unexpectedly. With young children in my vehicle daily, this continued incident puts my family at risk. After inspection from my Jeep/Dodge dealer, a faulty transfer case has been identified as the issue.

I was driving back home and was travelling at around 30miles/hr on a street. All of a sudden my car dashboard started flashing and all the indicators in the dashboard started to flash. . The vehicle started to accelerate and brake at the same time. . . The engine made a strange weird sound. I had to put the emergency parking lights and pull over slowly. Luckily I was closer to home, so drove back home with the hazard lights on. . The car moved very slowly with the engine accelerating and braking at the same time. Next day, I had the car towed to the dealership and they also saw the same issue. They indicated the throttle control module was behaving erratically and have to re-flash it.

Faulty transmission that breaks before 90k miles.

My car recently started making a grinding noise that got bad really fast. I had it towed to the dealership to get a diagnostic test done. I was told that it was my transfer case that was making the noise. Now this caught me by surprise because I had no warning lamps on my dashboard or no messages alerting me of any problems that would point to it needing servicing done it just happened out the blue. Because of this problem my car has a hard time accelerating and this is no good to me because I live in atlanta georgia where there is nothing but highway and hills. My car makes a constant grinding noise no matter how fast I’m going or how hard I press on the gas. With the acceleration of the vehicle being bad I have almost been in a few incidences where people have almost rear ended me. An inspection by the manufacturer has not been done as of yet. I would just like to know what can be done about this especially because my car still has no warning lamps and the grinding is so bad that I can no longer drive it.

My wife and kids almost got killed in this vehicle twice this week due tot the can bus electrical communication network stop working. It completely stopped on the highway while driving 70 mph and almost caused a multiple car accident. All the controller icons lighted up on the dash board and the car shifter and transmission stopped working. I towed it to the dealership and paid 700. 00 for a new shifter. The next day the vehicle did the same thing. This is a dangerous situation that needs to be recalled ASAP. Someone is going to get killed driving one of these vehicles. I researched this problem and numerous reviews found on the same issue 2014-2022 all electric can bus operated drivetrains Jeep. Please recall my 2017 Jeep before it kills my family and you will have a astronomical law suit on your hands. Mr. Tyrone albert.

I was driving on highway and the stop safely your car about to turn off popped up then my lights started flashing and the whole car shut down. I couldn't steer or brake so I had to shift into neutral and hope for the best. It scared me to death. My children were in the car. I just replaced the alternator, both batteries and had the vehicle reprogrammed and 2 days later that happened.

I was stooped at a red light on a hill when the light turned green all lights in car turned on the brakes went out and the steering wheel locked. I was on a hill and almost crashed into a wall. I had no control over the car. Don't know how this happened. I was able to mange and pull to the side of the curve. I turned the car on and off a few times and the car went back to normal. I was very lucky I didn't crash into the wall or another car. This was at a busy intersection and I could have kiiled myself or and someone else. I have not driven the car since only my husband because im very scared. Today the malfunction light come on and we don't know if this is related. We called Chrysler and explained the situation but they can only schedule an appointment to see the car on 5/17/2021 . This is a very serious issue and im surprised they wont see the car right away. And told us to wait another 5 days. I don't trust this car until it gets checked .

While driving the entire dashboard went black. It comes back on occasionally after re-starting, but continually shuts off at random times. I can't view my speed, rpm, and gauges, or gas levels. Blinkers will work sometimes other times they won�t.

When driving the motor starts racing and the rpm's go way up. Most times it does it when you first take off. You have to come to a stop, turn the motor off and start all over. Occasionally, this may not work. The repairman cannot find out why because it is not doing it when you take it back to the dealer. Not easy to deal with when in traffic and it is burning gas like crazy. It first did it coming back to nc from fla on 95 after the hurricane. I don't know the exact day. My girlfriend followed me from s. C. To jacksonville, n c to make sure I got home with it. Has done it several times right after I take off with it.
