2 Body problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2025

I am submitting this complaint to report what I believe to be a manufacturing or design defect involving the sunroof of my Jeep Grand Cherokee. On or around December 1, 2025, I discovered a severe water leak originating from the sunroof area during normal rainfall. Water entered the vehicle interior without warning and caused substantial damage to the headliner, interior trim, and other interior components. The amount of water intrusion was significant and far beyond what would be expected from normal wear. The vehicle has only around 45,000 miles and is regularly maintained. The leak occurred without any visible damage to the sunroof glass and without prior indication of a problem. The sunroof was fully closed at the time. This suggests a defect related to the sunroof sealing system, drainage system, or overall design rather than misuse or external damage. This defect presents a serious safety concern. Water intrusion inside the vehicle creates the risk electrical system damage or failure, mold and health hazards, impaired visibility due to water dripping near the windshield, distraction to the driver while operating the vehicle. In heavy rain conditions, this defect could reasonably occur while driving, creating a dangerous situation for the driver and passengers. As a result of this defect, my vehicle sustained significant interior damage, requiring repairs. I believe this issue reflects a broader defect in the sunroof design or drainage system rather than an isolated incident. I am concerned that other Jeep Grand Cherokee owners may be experiencing similar failures. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue for potential safety-related defects involving sunroof leakage in Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. The severity of the water intrusion and resulting damage indicates a defect that could pose a risk to vehicle safety and occupant well-being.

3 Body problem

Failure Date: 04/21/2024

Glass sunroof panel shattered while driving on empty highway at 60 mph. No explainable cause, e. G. No driving range nearby. The sunroof was rarely opened and was closed during the incident. There was no prior indication of failure. Noise resembled a loud bang. Shade prevented glass from raining down onto occupants. The noise was sudden and startled driver. Since road was empty, the incident did not cause the driver to loose control. No car behind, when chunks of glass blew off. After driving 15 miles, examination showed about 1/3 of the glass was missing. The much of the remaining glass was removed to reduce occupant risk. Shattered glass was vacuumed and can be examined but not as a pane. Next car will be driven to dealer. And possibly to insurance agent.

4 Body problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2024

While driving going about 40mph, I pressed cruise control to 75. Once my car picked up speed, no other cars around, no overpass, etc. My moon roof exploded out of no where. My 8 month old was in the backseat right under where it busted.

5 Body problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2023

Rear window trim piece almost flew off while I was driving. This could have caused an accident or damage. Come to find out you have to replace the whole window to fix the problem too and not just the trim piece.

6 Body problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2023

The sunroof glass exploded during a highway drive. A sudden loud explosion sound caused a big disruption to me, the driver. The glass pieces fell inside the vehicle. No one was injured but I found several interiors places, such as console trim, seat leathers were scratch by glass pieces. There was no waning or anything abnormal. It just happened suddenly. There is no truck in front of us. Just a SUV in from of us in the lane right to us. No cliff or anything that rocks can fall from.

7 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2022

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep grand wagoneer. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the hood of the vehicle suddenly became unsecured and flew open, striking the front windshield, and creating a visibility hazard for the driver. The contact indicated that the locking mechanism bolts had erroneously unscrewed from the hood causing the failure. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the hood and locking mechanism and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,000.
