ODI #11753421FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

My 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is experiencing an active failure related to open Safety Recall 40D (NHTSA ID 26V290). The dashboard is displaying a persistent "Service 4WD" warning light, and the vehicle's four-wheel-drive system has completely disabled itself. The vehicle is currently trapped operating exclusively in front-wheel drive.The local dealership has inspected the vehicle but states they are legally blocked from performing a physical repair because manufacturer Stellantis has designated the recall status as "Remedy Under Development." I have filed an official complaint with the manufacturer under Jeep Corporate Case Number 97546678.I am filing this report because the manufacturer cannot provide a timeline for final physical parts, forcing me to operate a compromised vehicle with an active powertrain defect that carries a documented risk of a sudden loss of drive power or vehicle rollaway. I live in the Northeast and purchased this vehicle for its 4wD. I am nervous driving and it feels shady. I waited 3 hrs for a diagnostic test. They speed me the paper with the code, but did not give me the paperwork. I have a year left on my 5yr drive train, they would not discuss and I only have 31.5K miles in the vehicle. Also. With a loss of propulsion, I could be killed or kill someone else. That is the #1safety issue.

While coasting/foot off gas transmission will suddenly shift out of gear and a "Shift to Park" message will appear on dash. I must stop and shift to park then back into gear to re-engage the transmission. Driving will proceed normally at that point. This has occured unexpectedly and sporadically over the last year-3+ times. No error code is noted by the Jeep technician. Tech installed new shifter and bezel-seemed to work but then happened again. This is extremely hazardous while in traffic and on freeway (occurred once when coasting when on freeway off-ramp). When looking on-line it appears that there are many incidents of this same or similar issue happening with the 2022 Jeep Cherokee Limited. It is very concerning to note that this is allowed to continue with no issued recall for what appears to be a known safety problem-

According to websites, this can cause the power train to stop, cause an accident or injury. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle.

After market battery did not fix problem. Needed to be replaced by OEM battery. Still noticed not charging fully after driving. High current drain while off and parked detected.

Called Uconnect and technician said it could only be updated by dealer. On-line noticed this is a very widely reported problem that batteries are going dead for no apparent reason. Causes many other systems not to function like AntiSkid braking. Due to low battery voltage. No recall has been issued on this vehicle to make it mandatory for the manufacturer to correct the deficient software that won’t allow the modules to shut down when the vehicle is off.

ODI #11733747STEERING,SUSPENSION

I am submitting this complaint regarding a persistent and unresolved issue with the left front axle of my 2022 Jeep Cherokee X, which has been present since the day I purchased the vehicle new. Shortly after purchase, I brought the vehicle to the dealership due to a noticeable clicking sound coming from the front end. The dealer retained the vehicle for several days but stated they were unable to identify the source of the noise, although they indicated that a repair had been performed. Immediately upon leaving the dealership, the clicking sound was still present. I returned the vehicle, at which point it remained in their possession for approximately one week. During that visit, components in the left front end were replaced. Approximately one year later, while pulling out of a driveway under normal driving conditions, the left axle failed completely. The vehicle had to be towed back to the dealership, where it remained for another week. I was informed that the CV joint had been replaced. Now, roughly one year after that repair, I brought the vehicle in for a routine oil change. During this visit, the service manager showed me that grease is actively leaking from the same left front axle. I am also once again hearing the same clicking noise that initially prompted my first visit. This vehicle has low mileage, is driven approximately six miles per day, and is used primarily for local driving. It has never been used off-road and has not been subjected to any abnormal driving conditions or impacts. Given the repeated failures involving the same component, despite prior repairs, I am concerned about the safety and reliability of this vehicle. Additionally, this ongoing issue has significantly diminished the vehicle’s value, making it difficult to sell. I am extremely disappointed that a vehicle of this age and usage history continues to experience recurring axle failures without a lasting resolution.

After doing a little research I found out there was a recall on Jeep Cherokees in 2016-2017 for the exact same thing!I also discovered that when the TPU goes out it damages the rear differential and the transmission, so they are connected; not separate as the service manager lead me to believe.This Jeep is 2 years old and has 70,000 miles on it. The drive train is out of warranty by 10,000 miles.The car is mainly used on the highway and has never been off-road.I changed the oil regularly and took excellent care of it. It is I still consider to be a new vehicle. When the service manager tried to order the parts he was told they were not available due to issues.?I contacted customer care at Jeep Wave and they told me that since it is out of warranty they would help; but not much!I have been without a vehicle for almost two weeks now and I was told it could be months and expensive! If the transmission needs repaired it will add another $10,000.00 to the bill. I drive for a foster care company and now these children are not allowed visits due to this situation.Why is there no recall?

ODI #11575065POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

On [XXX], we were traveling from Seattle to Portland on [XXX] in my 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with the cruise control set at around 75 mph. Suddenly the emergency collision braking system applied and all of the lights on my vehicle lit up. While the braking system was being applied the cruise control was simultaneously applying gas resulting in the vehicle RPM redlining on multiple occasions. Fortunately, the weather was good, traffic was light, and I was able to maintain control of the vehicle to pull over once a vehicle in the slow lane passed. When stopped the engine light was on, along with an alarm for loss of electronic stability control (ESC), and an alarm for brake service. After clearing the ESC alarm by restarting my vehicle multiple times as indicated in the owner's manual I tried to operate the vehicle. However, the vehicle would not move properly in to drive (noise and felt like the brake was applied). We then decided to contact Jeep roadside assistance for an emergency tow covered by the warranty. We towed the vehicle to the nearest Jeep dealership which was closed for the weekend. On Monday, the dealership informed us that the power transfer unit (PTU) had failed and would need to be replaced. Regarding additional mechanical damage, a determination could not be made until the PTU was replaced. On Tuesday, the dealership advised that the PTU was on an engineering hold until March 20th as the part was now being produced by a new vendor. At this time it appears my vehicle will be inoperable for more than a month until the part is released from the engineering hold. I am concerned that PTU failure is a serious safety defect similar to what has occurred in past model years of the Jeep Cherokee.

ODI #11567587VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Your website has some trouble & won't accept my jpg files. First time to see this. I use cruise control all the time on 3 vehicles I own. But, this JEEP has a strange problem that is not safe. Almost all vehicles I have driven with cruise controls will exceed set speed by 1~3mph while going down a steep hill. But my JEEP will exceed by 5~7mph on steep hills. I have turned off cruise control when it didn't control speed and drove manually for a while, then used cruise control again. If I set at 70mph, often speed will increase to 75~77mph going downhill; then brakes will engage strongly (hard braking) and JEEP will quickly go below 70 mph. JEEP will brake hard, go to or below 70mph then speed up some then brake hard again! Two-three times I had 18 wheelers behind me going down steep hill when I was using cruise control, JEEP quickly reached 75~77mph, then suddenly brakes clamped down with a lot of force and big trucks had to hit their brakes hard and were not far from my rear bumper. I do watch in rear view mirror often when driving. There are a lot of hills in my area of East Texas. I also watch out for smaller vehicles also when I use cruise control, especially going downhill. I took JEEP to a dealer Jan. 24, 2024 in Palestine, TX 75801 to check excessive carbon SOOT in tailpipes, coming out of muffler. And, I told service Mgr. about bad cruise control braking. They did nothing. Now, see Elliott JEEP dealer Service Invoice [XXX]. Dealer wasn't interested in looking a cruise control problem. He checked only excessive soot problem and maybe did a multipoint inspection. Also, this JEEP couldn't possible pass an EPA emissions control. I THINK THERE ARE SOME REAL DEFECTS IN MAIN CONTROL MODULE!!!! DEFECTIVE SPEED OR CRUISE CONTROL. DEFECTIVE AIR/FUEL SENSOR CONTROL MAKING A LOT OF SOOT. DISPLAY DEFECTIVE FOR GASOLINE & TEMPERATURE GUAGES IN DISPLAY. In 2023, I told different dealer about cruise control trouble and he didn't check anything, either.

ODI #11567608ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

In late November 2023 I noticed my fuel economy dropping a lot, from 27-29mpg to 22-24mpg. And, soon tailpipes were accumulating a lot of soot in tailpipes and soot was coming out of end of muffler. I took to JEEP dealer in Palestine, TX. See invoice uploaded. Service advisor couldn't find any bad codes. He wrote some guesses as to source/cause of problem & suggested using more expensive, higher grade of gasoline. He said to try some catalytic converter cleaner, also. Seems, he thinks the braking system may be causing soot troubles. This soot problem will cause injector, spark plug, catalytic converter expenses in future! And, I have to spend much more for gasoline? I think main control module is defective and is missing computer code to properly detect this problem or is intentionally designed to ignore the cause of the excessive soot problem. It is not normal to have soot in a new vehicle!!! I've worked on vehicles since 1950s until US Government mandated electronics made us weekend mechanics obsolete. I've seen soot in old cars, pickups, tractors, other engines; but in a properly running newer vehicle. Maybe rings are bad in this engine. Maybe sensors need to be replaces but main control unit is designed to ignore soot producing part(s). Maybe sensors do not work properly especially in cold weather and causes a too rich gasoline mix in engine. But, dealers only obey what codes tell them. This sounds similar to the VW scandal where VW intentionally made software that could evade emissions control tests. JEEP has made soot problem disappear whereby sensors do not see soot being produced by V6 JEEP engine because main control unit software code has been written to do such: EVADE DETECTION THAT CAUSES NO ENGINE LIGHT ERROR NOTICE IN DRIVERS DISPLAY AND NOTHING IN DEALERS INSPECTION/DIAGNOSIS SOFTWARE. HEAVY SOOT NOT DETECTED BY JEEP's ENGINE SENSORS AND MAIN CONTROL UNIT? In person can see more soot, photos don't show 3D depth as it really is.

While driving on active roadways (including major highways during rush hour, a major downtown city at intersections with crosswalks during rush hour, and while exiting a parking garage), the vehicle suddenly stops, sounds a brief alarm and flashes one of 3 error messages on the dash board ("Shift to Drive", "....to shift", "...vehicle must be stopped"), while the "D" on the dashboard and the shifter flash (with the vehicle still in the "Drive" position). On one occasion, an additional message requested to turn the vehicle on. To resolve the issue in the moment, the vehicle must be shifted up to "Park", then brought back down to "Drive". Once returning to back to the "Drive" position, the vehicle resumes operation. The auto start had been turned off for at least most of these events. The stopping while actively driving has happened on 5 separate occasions and has been brought to 2 different Jeep dealers on 3 different occasions (totaling approximately 2 weeks) to try to identify the issue. Both dealerships have been unable to replicate the malfunction and have been unable to identify an error code. There has been no advisement by Jeep Corporation other than to keep driving the vehicle and video record the event if it is safe to do so (I was able to obtain 2 videos). The events have happened in the months of June, November, and December, and in the morning, mid-day, and afternoon, and when both accelerating and decelerating. There does not appear to be any particular condition preceding the failure. A vehicle suddenly stopping on the highway places myself and others on the road at risk of a serious accident, as does the vehicle failing at an intersection in a major city. There was a large tractor trailer behind me honking his horn during the first event, etc.

Unknown The brake and gas pedal are so close to each other that when I switched from one to the other my foot scraped the brake pedal causing the car to stop or speed up. I am afraid to drive it. I paid cash($44000) for it. I notified the dealership and then had to come to the nursing home for rehab and have been unable to take it back so it’s sitting at my daughters house for over 6 mos. The dealership was emailing me frequently to come in and check out their cars but when I told them that I wanted a car for that one and I was afraid to drive it they quit corresponding with me. You have numerous negative reviews on it. I got it around 10/25/22 and am still in nursing home. Please advise. One man changed his out himself. The salesman(EvanI think) told me they didn’t have any Jeep grand Cherokees, what I wanted, then told me they did after I bought this one- a lie. I even suggested they pick it up themselves that’s when they guit messaging me.

On Sunday evening (4/16/2023) we noticed a very scary noise coming from our 2022 Jeep Cherokee while we were on the freeway. No warning lights were on in the vehicle. Thankfully we were close to home when we noticed the noise and were able to immediately get off the 110 freeway. We decided not to drive the car and had it towed on Tuesday morning to the nearest Chrysler Dealership, Bravo CDJR of Alhambra. Today we received confirmation from the dealership that the PTU casing is cracked, leaking fluid and metal shavings were found. Dealer has recommended new PTU and PTU fluid. But they don't know when they'll be able to find the part for our vehicle since it is so new. I couldn't find a recall of this part for 2022 Jeep Cherokees online so I thought we should report it in case this is a faulty part. Thankfully on one was hurt in this case but it was a very scary situation.

While on a road trip for the Thanksgiving Holiday on Interstate 95, the in dash information cluster advised me that the right turn indicator on the vehicle failed. Upon pulling into a service station and inspecting the vehicle it was confirmed that the right rear turn indicator had indeed failed and would no longer illuminate. In addition to the failure of the turn signal the Lane Departure features of the vehicle were then disabled. When taking the vehicle in for service on the week of November 28th, I was advised that there was a known issue with water infiltration in the housing. The manufacturer of the vehicle is aware of the issue and has a 45 step process to diagnose the problem. As of today, December 16th, I have been unable for a dealer to obtain and install a replacement fixture to return my vehicle to road worthy operation. Florida Statutes govern the safe operation of motor vehicles on its highways and my vehicle currently violates Sections 316.155 and 316.610, preventing me from operating said vehicle on the highways of the state. I am unable to operate the vehicle lawfully on the roads but am still required to make monthly note payments on an vehicle in which I can not use legally.
