My safety as well as other drivers safety are at risk when you down the highway at a speed between 70 & 75 miles an hour and all off a sudden your engine quits, I was told it goes into limp mode, I turned off engine, started it again could not get power, turn off engine again waited a few minutes and it finally gave me some power, was told by the dealership that they could not find anything the computer may have reset itself, in a one week period it did twice, I nearly got hit or the person could have got killed hitting me. This is definitely a safety issue I think this should be a recall.
Bought Jeep in December 2020. Currently at 8000 miles. In October 2021, the vehicle would not turn off. The push button would go between acc and start but not in the off. Dealership has never seen this and after 8 days, are not able to definitively tell me what the issue is. The assumption has been given that the car is not recognizing that the vehicle is in park. This is an assumption as whatever diagnosis that is being done is not finding the error.
While driving on the highway I heard a loud sound, like a gunshot and my sunroof had shattered onto me.
I was merging onto a highway after work and my sunroof exploded. There were no other vehicles, bridges, or any other objects around me. This could have been a real bad situation if it occurred with other vehicles around me. The local Jeep dealership refused to cover the repairs under warranty stating that, "looks like an object hit my sunroof". There are no other markings around the sunroof.
The sunroof exploded and a sound like a bomb or gun went off. Most of the glass blew out of the car but I had some drop on my head, neck and shoulder. The glass went everywhere. I later found that I had glass fragements in my right eye as well. The doctor took them out. I took the dealership and they were going to replace it and then I got an email saying it was going to be under investigation. 10-14 days or longer. I am a senior adult and work a part time job. This is my only car. The runaround continues. I received an email about the investigation and no phone number. I just want my car fixed. This was my dream car and now its a nightmare car. As soon as it is repaired I will never have another Jeep. The service has been terrible. The staff at the dealership tried to be helpful but their hands are tied. Frustrated since I did nothing wrong.
While driving 60 miles per hour along the southbound express lane of garden state parkway my new 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee started shaking. Within seconds, I pulled on to the grassy area next to the fast lane where my vehicle died. After getting towed to the dealership, I was notified that my new car with 329 miles on it is in need of a new engine, new batteries and new starter. Of notable concern on the repair order is the following: "what is present inside intake manifold is pieces of metal. " while the case is not yet closed, Chrysler informed me they intend to fix the vehicle under warranty and return it to me. This is a serious safety concern and I fear the blown engine, dead batteries and starter could have caused additional, unrecognized damage.
The sos button in the car and the assist button in the car don't work. If you push either you get a busy signal. Sos is for emergy help. I took it to the dealreship. After a couple weeks of fca collecting data they finally told the dealership it is a know problem. I have the car back, but, these features do not work. If my cell phone is damage I can not use sos to get help. They said they would let me know when there is a fix.
The car was parked on a city street, and the engine off over night sometime early in the morning with the car still off and parked an electrical fire started on the front passenger side.
There is a thumping noise coming from the rear of the vehicle while in motion. It is getting worse and we are not sure what it is and the service department has been unable to fix it. We are concerned with it getting worse the more miles we put on the car.
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.
I was slowly backing into a driveway when the Jeep Grand Cherokee suddenly accelerated on its own. I repeatedly hit the brake pedal but the Jeep wouldn't stop; instead it kept going faster. It smashed into the garage door and the brick wall of the garage, demolishing them. The Jeep was brand new with only 500 miles driven, and it was equipped with a complete safety package that should have automatically stopped it before an impending impact but it did not do so. This was an extremely terrifying experience and it felt like a nightmare.
Screen constantly freezes and it's unresponsive for long periods of time, then reboots. Then the cycle repeats. Serious safety hazard as the back up camera image freezes on the screen and doesn't change, even though your moving and the image video should have changed. This has been happening since the car was bought new and dealership says they're nothing that can be done.
