See uploads for detailed information.

Subject: forward collision warning plus and advanced brake assist failure – 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo I am reporting a safety defect involving the full-speed forward collision warning plus and advanced brake assist systems on my 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo. The vehicle does not provide forward collision warnings or apply assistive braking in situations where a collision is imminent. On multiple occasions, a vehicle in front of me slowed or stopped while turning into a driveway or parking lot. My Jeep provided no visual alert, no audible warning, and no braking assistance. I had to manually brake to avoid rear?ending the other vehicles. I brought the vehicle to the dealership. During testing, the system could not be activated on my Jeep. We then tested another Jeep of the same model and year; its system also failed to activate until we were within approximately three feet of the vehicle ahead. My Jeep never activated at any distance. The dealership stated that because adaptive cruise control slows the vehicle when active, the collision warning and brake assist systems must also be functioning. This explanation is inconsistent with how these systems are designed to operate, and it does not address the failure of the forward collision warning plus system to activate in real?world or controlled conditions. This appears to be a systemic failure of the collision?avoidance technology on this model, creating a significant risk of rear?end collisions.

I purchased this vehicle 04/15/2025. Starting at less than 500 miles the blind spot indicator warning lights along with the abs braking system warning lights randomly come on while driving. To receive random warning light notices and sounds while driving is extremely startling and concerning. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership multiple times with no success of fixing the issue. They have been in touch with Chrysler’s engineers. The engineers have given instructions such as inspecting the electrical system, replacing the main module and software updates all of which have not corrected the problem. The vehicle is still at the dealership with no resolution. Apparently, these issues have been reported before not only for the Jeep grand wagoneer but other Chrysler vehicles as well. As a loyal Jeep customer, I purchased this vehicle because of the safety features advertised. However, it has become a nightmare and I do not feel safe driving in this vehicle at all. Please research these safety concerns.

Brand new 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee less than 3 weeks old - I just got into an accident last night on the freeway my car began to decelerate and accelerator completely stopped working. I noticed an aebs alert and engine light on the dash but came close to no other cars for this to have come on. Came to a complete stop and I look down and the car is in park. I was unable to put the car back in drive on the freeway. Put on my hazards and called 911 immediately, knowing how dire the situations was, while trying to find a way to get moving, and watched as I was rear ended by a pickup going full speed.

Traveling at around 55 mph, slowed down for a stop light. Dash started flashing and beeping and stated "shift to park then shift to desired gear. " could not accelerate, had to put in park then back in drive to keep moving. No check engine light. 2 dealerships cannot fix because there's no code. Seems to be a common occurrence on Jeep forums. Afraid this will happen again on the interstate and I will get rear ended or not be able to get off the road. Major safety concern!.

On multiple occasions now, my shifter starts blinking at me and the dash tells me to shift into park and then shift into desired gear. This is quite annoying is baffling and dangerous. Also, on multiple occasions the dash lights up it goes crazy beeping like crazy like it wants me to stop and there’s nothing in front of me for me to need to stop. This could be potentially very dangerous. I see others have had issues like this as well so I think we really need to do something about this for somebody does get hurt cause it locks up it doesn’t let you go anywhere until you put it in park and put it in gear not safe.

Aeb light comes on saying limited functionality service required. We have taken it to the dealer and they service department said no codes for that problem showed up and said if it did it again pull into any dealership and have them check it. It happens constantly so it happened right when in front of one of their dealership so we pulled in and they checked again and it did come up showing an electrical issue. They saw our pictures I was continuing to take of the dash showing how often it comes up. So I did just that and had a photo book, the size of a wedding album showing how it went off sometimes every two hours. *then the lane depart doesn't work, it will not vibrate, which we have all the settings on and set to the highest setting. Warning for cross traffic when in reverse doesn't always work sometimes it won't even go off when someone walks close to the back of vehicle. * on just a few occasion the rear door will not close when button is pushed, we have to physically close it. *sometimes it will continually slam on the breaks when we try to back out of our garage, taken several times of me putting in park and trying again. *also sometimes when backing out it won't drive when I put in drive, I have to put in park, then move it to drive. Is currently in the dealership, they have had it for 4 days and cannot figure it out but acknowledge it is happening.
