Major warning lights appeared on dash. Vehicle began presenting messages stating to service vehicle systems. Power steering, traction control, and emergency braking were among those listed. Vehicle was at a 60% state of charge with 95% fuel. Engine ran, but other major vehicle systems would not engage. Attempted to reverse the vehicle to see if it would move and it accelerated abnormally fast in reverse. The vehicle stated hybrid mode and ready, but was not in an operable state. The issue persisted between restarts and idling sessions.

On February 10, 2025 at approximately 4:45 EST, I was driving approximately 55MPH in the far left lane of a multi-lane highway when I received a notice that my hybrid propulsion system had malfunctioned. Upon receiving the notice, I immediately lost power/propulsion of my vehicle although the warning notice disappeared and the screen made it appear that the vehicle was operating. As I pressed the gas pedal, I noted that there was no power being provided to the powertrain and I had to progressively move to the right to find a safe spot to stop. Upon stopping, the warning re-appeared and informed me to put the car in park and turn it off and restart the vehicle. At the time of failure, the battery had a remaining charge of 10% and 3/4 tank of gas. Upon restart, the vehicle functioned as normal using the gasoline powered engine. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk due to the loss of power in an area where most vehicles were operating near 55 MPH. The computer warning about the malfunction was confusing and it disappeared relatively quickly leading to significant confusion about how to operate the vehicle especially given that the dashboard returned to a normal state. The problem has not yet been reported to a dealer as they were closed for service. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to the failure other than the short warning that appeared at the start of the loss of power and referenced above.

The vehicle lights up a red wrench with a lightning bolt through it and then alerts to a "service hybrid electric vehicle system" message. This light stays on from either a few seconds to several minuets before turning off. There is no consistency as to when the warning illuminates. Every time it has come on has been at highway speeds. There is fear that the vehicle is going to lose power and/or propulsion while at a high speed. This feels like a danger to myself, my occupants, and others on the road.

1: When driving on highway ramp onto highway vehicle lost power when automatically switching from electric to hybrid which almost caused being stuck from behind. 2: For days at a time car will not switch over to all electric giving message Electric Mode Temporarily Unavailable 3: Car screen overlaps with previous screen at times and also is completely black on colder days. 4: Car VIN indicates it as 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is incorrect it is a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEV

The contact stated that the brake light remained illuminated during the failure. The contact was almost involved in a crash during the failure. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that additional diagnostic tests were needed to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.

Since leasing my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe in July 2023, I’ve encountered severe and ongoing safety, quality, and performance issues that remain unresolved despite multiple service visits and direct contact with Chrysler customer care. The vehicle has consistently proven unreliable and unsafe, posing risks to my family and others. Key safety concerns include: Trunk Liftgate Malfunction: The liftgate closes on its own, even with foot control disabled, failing to stop when obstructed, causing injuries to my [XXX] son and me. Proximity Sensor Failures: The sensors randomly lock the brakes with no obstacles and fail to warn of actual hazards. Steering Wheel Adjustment Failure: The steering wheel became stuck in the highest position and couldn’t be readjusted. Gear Shifting Issues: In eSave mode, gears fail to shift above 40 mph, and at times, the vehicle won’t shift out of park without multiple restarts. Defective Environmental Controls: The heater once failed during a 20°F drive, blowing only cold air for nearly two hours. Electronic Malfunctions: Random driver profile resets, faulty tire pressure sensors, unreliable remote start, Bluetooth/auxiliary port failures, and phantom Bluetooth devices. These issues put my family in direct harm and have not been resolved despite dealer inspections. Warning lights, alerts, and system failures occur intermittently, often without prior notice. I have extensive documentation, videos, and service records confirming these ongoing issues. Given the persistent safety hazards and failed repair attempts, I believe this vehicle is fundamentally unsafe and unfit for use. Despite nearly two months without the vehicle due to service visits, the problems persist, leaving me paying for an unsafe, unreliable car. I am seeking a resolution, including lease termination, to ensure my family’s safety. The repeated malfunctions, including injuries to my child, make this an urgent and unacceptable risk that cannot be ignored. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT

On multiple occasions my 2024 Grand Cherokee 4XE will flash "Service Hybrid System" and cut out while driving. Brakes, steering, and other functions are severely limited on these occurences. I have brought this issue up with the Jeep dealership every time the incident happens and they always ask if there are any lights on. No lights stay on, the engine and all systems just cut out. Tried contacting Jeep corporate help line and never get anywhere with them. I would like to turn the vehicle in, but they will not allow me to do so as they can never seem to find anything wrong with it, since it shows no codes.

The vehicle was leased in December 2023. At time of delivery the vehicle was making a clicking and clunking sound when turning. It took over a month to get an appointment to get the vehicle looked at. With 2,800 miles the vehicle was diagnosed with a right axle shaft. It took over two weeks for the parts to be delivered and replaced. The vehicle was picked up after 16 days and the issue persisted. Again, it took nearly a month for an appointment. The vehicle was with the dealer for 6 days and was not able to find diagnose an issue. The vehicle was picked up and the next day was returned to the dealer for the same issue. This time it was confirmed there is an undiagnosed steering/suspension problem. Also during this visit the check engine light illuminated. The fault was a hybrid battery cooling system failure. The dealer is unable to complete any work on the vehicle and a new service appointment was scheduled in 4 days. This will be the third attempt to fix this steering/suspension issue. Jeep corporate was notified with the first service visit and again with the second visit. They have since stopped communicating with me to come to a resolution for these safety issues. There is an open recall for steering bolts, I was notified that Jeep is rationing these parts and only allowing 1 vehicle per week per dealer to be repaired. I was told it could be months before this recall is able to be completed.

I HAVE AN ON GOING UNREPAIRED RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, CHARGING SYSTEM AND POSSIBLY THE BATTERY. WHEN APPLY THE BRAKE TO START MY JEEP THE BRAKES SOMETIMES ARE LOCKED UP AND I HAVE TO PUSH THE START BUTTON A FEW TIMES TO RELEASE THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL AT THE DEALERSHIP.

I received a safety recall letter in the mail. I made an appointment at the South Shore Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Service center in Inwood, NY for the repair of the recall and to change the oil. I specifically made the appointment for the recall (I keep getting notifications to repair) I went to the service center (1 hour drive from my home) on May 18,2024 (when I called to check in for the appointment “Shanty” told me that there’s no appointment scheduled for me, even though I got a text message confirming the appointment) Nevertheless, I went anyways. When I provided the recall letter to the representative, he told me that the service team can only do an oil change and can’t repair the defrost that day. So, after waiting for the oil change, I asked when I can come back for the recall repair, the representative told me that they need to get the parts first. I also notified the rep. that my parking rear view camera doesn’t turn on sometimes when in R and sometimes the screen goes black while I’m in the middle of parking. They ended up letting me go and drive with the recall STILL active. On June 19, 2024, I read on Fox Business that Stellantis is recalling Jeeps due to rear view camera defects. I called the dealer who sold me the car (apparently he no longer works at Jeep) I spoke to a different representative, she gave me the phone number to MOPAR and STELLANTIS - nothing else. Throughout the entire time of driving this car, I’ve been experiencing total discomfort. The car constantly jerks, seems like it doesn’t have enough power or traction (even though the gas tank is full and charged too) , and the windshield defrost takes a long time to work, even just the other day on June 29,2024 I started to drive and the windshield got so foggy that I had to stop. This car is dangerous and I do not feel safe driving it.

Dear Administration, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a potentially life-threatening issue regarding the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE Overlander, which I purchased from Route 18 Jeep Chrysler dealership in New Jersey in June of 2023. The car in question has a critical flaw that poses a significant danger to both the driver and pedestrians. Specifically, there is a glaring reflection cast onto the Windshield directly In front of the driver, blocking visibility of the road. This appears to be coming from the head-up display device located on the mirror, which obstructs the driver's view of the road. The glare I'm referring to. Will change several times during a day? Depending on the direction, you're going time of day or night and the external environment. It's impossible to drive the car through a tunnel lights on both sides of the roadway, it becomes very difficult to drive the car in the evening in the city environment, with light illuminating overhead on a street way. It's easier during midday but very difficult in early evening, we're early morning. This obstruction makes it nearly impossible to operate the vehicle safely and creates hazardous conditions for everyone on the road. Despite bringing this issue to the attention of multiple Jeep service stations, as well as Jeep Wave, the manufacturer's department, I have received no acknowledgment of the danger from them. They have simply stated that this is how the automobile was manufactured, particularly for the specific model, Highlander. As a result of this safety concern, I have chosen not to drive the vehicle for the past 10 months, as I refuse to put my family and others at risk. I urge you to take immediate action to address this issue before it results in tragic consequences on the highways. If this specific model of Jeep was indeed manufactured with this flaw, it has the potential to cause accidents and even fatalities.

I was driving my kids to school when the driver seat moved forward on its own and pushed me against the steering wheel. I was able to remain calm and thankfully and move the seat back. Very scary.

The driver seatback (backrest) moves forward spontaneously while driving, and will pin the driver against the steering wheel if you don't press the backrest control button on the side of the seat again. This is incredibly dangerous and unacceptable. This is the second time I will bring in the car to the dealer to address this SAME issue.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle brand new and driving to the residence, he became aware that the owner's manual was missing information for hybrid system operation. The dealer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the owner's manual was designed for the vehicle, The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the supplemental information for the hybrid system operation was available on the manufacturer's website. The failure mileage was approximately 75. The contact stated that the jeep Grand Cherokee “hybrid supplement” manual does exist and was sent to him. making the situation all the more confusing and frustrating to the consumer.

The dealer sold the vehicle as new with an open recall. It was sold on 2-24-24 with recall 24V132000 from 2-22-24 unremedied. The dealer failed to disclose the safety recall, putting me at risk on a road trip back to my home state.

Driving Screen, Swaybar Disconnect systems, Airbags, TPMS, Driving controls such as blinkers, and emergency flashers. The car was functioning normally, with no anomalies or error messages, including through phone notifications. The battery charge was nearly complete. I engaged Electric-Drive mode and used regenerative braking to recharge the battery on my way to town. Approximately 30 minutes into the drive, and with the battery at 99% charge, I heard a loud pop. It sounded like it was coming from the right-side passenger control arm. Shortly after, my dashboard was illuminated with warning lights, including a check engine light and notifications about air suspension and sway bar disconnection, airbags, tpms sensors, and more. The car decelerated dramatically; The dashboard screen flickered on and off as if rebooting. I got the vehicle safely, but during that time, the car seemed to be in limp mode, unresponsive to acceleration, and stiffer than normal breaking. The steering was also affected. I realized that if I had been on the highway, this could have caused a severe accident. Screen, Powertrain, and drivetrain fail while traveling 45+ miles an hour. It is a small 2-way road in turn with mild car and foot traffic around. The dealer has confirmed the issue as an issue that has been present in past vehicles in this model category. The car had been in my possession for less than 24 hours/40 driven miles.
