1 Body problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2026

Safety recall w36 (NHTSA id 20v-191). Manufacturer stellantis (fca us llc) has reported this safety recall as "complete" for my VIN. This reporting is inaccurate. The vehicle remains on firmware version 30. 21. 0, which is the defective version the recall was mandated to replace. The head unit and telematics box (tbm) hardware are failing to accept the required safety patch. Stellantis case management (case #95948441) has refused to provide the mandated free remedy and is demanding a consumer-paid diagnostic fee to address this failed safety recall, in direct violation of 49 u. S. C. § 30120. Furthermore, the dashboard assembly is failing (adhesive degradation), causing significant rattle/distraction. The manufacturer refuses to honor the federal safety act and remediate these defects without charge. I have already performed the diagnosis and provided firmware evidence which the manufacturer has ignored.

2 Body problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2025

Issue #1: the vehicle exhibits substantial cabin vibration, particularly affecting the steering wheel. This necessitates maintaining a firm grip on the wheel when operating at speeds of 30 mph and above. The vibration intensity escalates in direct proportion to the vehicle's velocity. It has been reported that this vehicle model has documented issues with rear drive shaft bushing failure, which may contribute to excessive play and vibration. Issue #2: the interior door trim applique has delaminated and broken. This issue has been previously reported in service bulletin 23-001-19 rev. B, group: 23-body, dated 8/10/2019, for a different Jeep model.

4 Body problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2022

Today I was driving on the highway with a high wind advisory, in the morning driving with the wind was causing my hood to flex under the intake pressure. This afternoon driving against the wind on the highway the wind was strong enough to pop the hood open while the latch kept the hood secured, twice. The winds at the time were 15mph with gusts to 35mph.

5 Body problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2022

On July 1, 2022, in the morning, the right rear passenger door window in my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee spontaneously exploded and then, in the evening of the same day, the rear hatch window also spontaneously exploded. The vehicle was purchased new in June of 2020 and has been driven approximately 57000 miles. There was no evidence of damage to the windows prior to the explosions.

6 Body problem

Failure Date: 02/29/2020

I was involved in a head on collision with a snow plow mounted to a Ford f-250 where significant front end damage was done to the vehicle, and the airbags didn't deploy. There's no way possible these airbags should have not been deployed.
