Recall on the hydraulic control unit/anti-lock brake system A brake light incorrectly resulting other drivers not receiving proper indication to stop or slow down which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Call my local dealership and MOPAR and informed me that they still do not have the part to fix this recall. It has been more an an year and half without resolution. They have not inspected my vehicle as I did schedule an appointment but the dealership informed me that they is still no solution and would reach out. There has no warning lamps or messages that appears in my vehicle as of right now.

Check Engine light with Codes: PO300, and PO305. Misfire in Cylinder #5. Changed all spark plugs, and coils. Check engine still on, with same codes. Jeep dealer then said it was the cam shaft and needed new cam shaft head of a price tag of $8500. The car has been well maintained and has 75,200 miles on it. There is a known premature failure with the Pentastar Engine that is in this vehicle. Jeep is refusing to stand behind their product.

The contact owned a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while unloading groceries out of her vehicle with the vehicle in park(P) and the engine on, grayish-white smoke began to emit from the vehicle without warning. The contact turned off the vehicle and checked under the hood, where she saw flames in the engine. The contact then ran to the fire department, which was nearby, and informed them of the fire. The fire department arrived at the scene with a fire truck and extinguished the fire. The police department also arrived at the scene, and a police report was filed. No injuries were reported due to the fire. The vehicle was destroyed as a result of the fire, but was not towed. The dealer or manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the “Service air Suspension” warning light was illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the headlights independently turn on and off, the doors independently locked and unlocked, and the radio independently changes stations. In addition, the contact stated that the failure caused the headlights to burn out prematurely. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The contact was later informed that there was moisture in the wires. The contact was informed that the moisture had been cleaned from the wires. The contact was informed that the vehicle was repaired. The contact disagreed with the diagnostic test and the repair. The contact stated that the failure was a known failure with the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. The VIN was unavailable.

1. The issue involved the engine and emissions system, specifically a cylinder 3 misfire, accompanied by illumination of the check engine light and white smoke emitted from the exhaust. The vehicle was evaluated by an authorized Jeep dealership, which confirmed the cylinder misfire through diagnostic testing. At that time, per the diagnosis, coil 3 and all spark plugs were exchanged. This did not solve the issue. When picking up the car, check engine light was still illuminated and white smoke emitted from the exhaust. The affected components are in possession of the dealership, unsure if available upon request. 2. The engine misfire and associated white exhaust smoke created a risk of engine performance degradation, including potential loss of power, observed hesitation and stalling, which could impact the ability to safely operate the vehicle in traffic. Additionally, white smoke from the exhaust can impair visibility for surrounding drivers and may indicate an underlying engine condition that could worsen without warning, increasing the risk to the driver and others sharing the roadway. The chemical smell could also nauseate the person operating their vehicle, impeding their awareness and concentration. 3. This issue was proposed by an authorized Jeep dealership, then confirmed by two other mechanics. Dealer diagnostic records document the cylinder 3 misfire and investigation related to the check engine light and exhaust condition. 4. No inspection from manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. 5. Yes, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle exhibited white smoke from the exhaust which prompted the service visit. Auto-start was not functioning as normal, with an error displayed on screen. Engine would sometimes stall upon start up during cold temperature days. NOTE: vehicle is currently with another mechanic awaiting an engine replacement, will upload that invoice once available.

While driving on the highway I received a “SERV 4WD” light and also a traction control unavailable light. Other than that that the car appeared to drive normally other than I could feel the car gears “catching” at starts when I pressed the accelerator. I took the car to the certified dealer and they said it was a transfer case failure and was unsafe to drive as it could have caused the wheels to lock up. This issue is very similar to a recall for other Jeep VINs over the same production timeframe of my Jeep, although my VIN was not included in that recall. I am seeking the immediate inclusion of my VIN into the Jeep recall that exists for manufacturing defects of the transfer case.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted, and a short distance later, the failure persisted. The contact stated that there were several attempts to restart the vehicle. However, the failure persisted. The message "Shift to P then Desired Gear" was displayed. The contact continued to drive and arrived at the workplace. The contact stated that prior to the failure, the vehicle jerked while driving. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000 (POWER TRAIN). However, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.

Had the ABS Module repaired due to recall last week. Next, I have had 3 instances of the Accelerator sticking when shifting gears and, this never happened before this service.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a serious safety defect regarding the Active Head Restraint (AHR) system in my vehicle. On 11/28/25 the headrest deployed spontaneously while I was operating the vehicle. Incident Details: • No Collision: There was no impact, collision, or sudden braking event that would trigger a safety deployment. • Safety Risk: The forceful deployment occurred without warning, striking me in the back of the head. • System Failure: The internal plastic bracket responsible for holding the spring-loaded mechanism failed—a documented issue in many similar Stellantis vehicles. I contacted a certified Jeep dealership and Stellantis customer service regarding this failure. They have declined to provide a remedy, repair or reimbursement the component under any "goodwill" or extended warranty program, stating that my specific VIN is not included in existing service bulletins or recalls. Request for Action: The "VIN-specific" limitation is arbitrary when the mechanical failure is identical to those in recalled units. A safety component that deploys violently without an accident is a defect, regardless of whether the manufacturer has acknowledged that specific production batch yet. I request that the NHTSA investigate this failure as part of an expansion of existing inquiries into Stellantis AHR systems. I have attached photos/repair quote of the deployed unit for your records. Sincerely,

Front passenger side CV Axle purchased from detroit axle. They confirmed on website it would fit my make, model, and year of vehicle. Once I described that they are selling this part incorrectly and they refused to change website to continue fraud sell I asked for a full refund. They denied and said I'd be deducted shipping costs. If this part would've almost fit I'd have been a risk for life on the road for myself and others. They refuse to fix this safety and fraud violation on their website.

The front air springs, struts, and air suspension compressor failed. The dealer cannot get the right front air spring because it is backordered. It appears that 100% of these components fail creating demand that the manufacturer cannot keep up with. There should be a recall at this high failure rate on a component that makes the vehicle unsafe to drive per the warning on that dash.

Upon vehicle start-up, the Uconnect screen will freeze up. Placing the vehicle into reverse, the back-up camera is not shown. During the issue, the screen could be frozen/not responsive, or a blue screen. This concern has been an ongoing issue for some time now. It seems to be getting more frequent recently.

AIR BAG LIGHT LIGHT IS ON DOES NOT SHOW UP ON DIAGNOSTIC

Issue with camshaft. Dealership said there has been an influx of vehicles with the same engine and the same issues.

While driving this vehicle under normal conditions, the engine developed abnormal ticking/knocking noises, loss of power, and misfire symptoms that progressively worsened. The vehicle was frequently used to transport children. Due to the nature of the failure and unpredictability of progression, continued operation posed a serious safety risk. An authorized dealer later confirmed that the engine suffered a catastrophic internal valvetrain failure involving collapsed lifters/rocker arms and severely damaged camshafts. The dealer technician explicitly stated this failure mode is “typical” for this engine design and documented progressive internal damage affecting both cylinder banks, not an isolated component. This failure mode is not sudden; it develops gradually over tens of thousands of miles and can lead to sudden engine power loss, stalling, or seizure without warning. A loss of propulsion at highway speed, during lane changes, intersections, or while transporting children creates a clear risk of crash, injury, or worse. There was no evidence of driver abuse, lack of maintenance, lubrication failure, or misuse. The dealer confirmed oil condition and service history were appropriate. The defect appears to be internal, latent, and manufacturing-related, consistent with numerous consumer complaints, technical service bulletins, and ongoing litigation involving this engine family. Had the vehicle continued to be driven, the failure could have escalated to: •Sudden loss of engine power at speed •Inability to accelerate to avoid hazards •Engine seizure causing loss of steering assist •Increased crash risk with child passengers onboard The vehicle was removed from service due to safety concerns. This defect is repeatable, predictable, and well-documented, yet not subject to recall at this time. I am reporting this to support investigation into a systemic engine defect that presents a serious safety risk to drivers and passengers.

Warped cylinder head without engine overheating. Cylinder 4 misfire.

The check engine light keeps coming on. The Jeep repair shop says that it has to do with the flap on the gas tank where you put the gas in. Hence, the repair light keeps coming on so you never know if its real and needs to be addressed or if its the gas tank issue again

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled, with the message "Electronic Stability Control" displayed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The failure mileage was 88,000.

I Purchased my my vehicle from a dealer approximately two and a half months ago. While driving the transmission of the vehicle gave out. The car rpm shot up to seven thousand and only goes 30 mph. My safety was in jeopardy because the vehicle lowed down rapidly and I had to maneuver to the side of the road in order not to be struck from the rear. I had taken it to get inspected by AAMCO and was informed that the transmission failed.

1-Rear driver-side Power Lift-gate actuator ball bolt snapped right off while rear gate is open. 2- It came right down on my head and caused severe bump and bleeding from a 250 pound rear door. I am 6ft 1 in, but if it is someone small it can cause sever injuries and possible death from the heavy door coming down on the person. 3-problem was looked at by my mechanic and they cannot fix issue as bolt broke off inside the thread area and no room to remove such bolt. They recommended I take it to a body shop to cut the area out in order to get the broken broke removed. 4-unknown 5- There was no signs of any failures at all.

I have noticed the upper edge on my radio screen appears to the bubbling or separating from itself. It has recently become worse and causes "touches" on the screen. It makes calls and ends calls, switches the screen on and off, changes heating settings, disconnects devices, changes or cancels navigation. It makes it very difficult to drive as I cannot turn the screen off.

The car keeps saying the turn signals are out when they all function properly. The car is equipped with the LED factory headlight systems. When it thinks the bulb is out it makes everything flash or turn off so other drivers can’t see your signal. Several other users are also reporting issues online. Dealer says the only way to fix is an entirely new head light assembly at $1300 since the turn signal bulbs are built into the headlight and should be a lifetime part.

I own a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. On December 5, 2025, the vehicle received a transmission fluid exchange service at a Jeep dealership. Prior to this service, the transmission operated normally with no hesitation, harsh shifts, or warning lights. Within a few days after the service, I began noticing delayed engagement and hesitation during shifts. On December 14, 2025, while driving at highway speed, the transmission suddenly shifted harshly with a rapid increase in engine RPM followed by a hard engagement. Later the same day, when stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle hesitated to move forward, revved abnormally, then engaged abruptly. A check engine light illuminated at that time. The vehicle behavior was unpredictable and created a safety concern while driving in traffic, particularly during acceleration from a stop and at highway speeds. The vehicle was driven directly to the servicing dealership and is currently available for inspection. The issue began only after the transmission service was performed. The transmission had no prior symptoms before the service. Warning indicators: Check engine light illuminated on December 14, 2025 after the transmission exhibited harsh shifting and hesitation. Inspection status: The vehicle is currently at the dealership that performed the transmission service for diagnosis.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the infotainment screen was significantly delaminated, causing unintended screen activation, preventing the driver from activating some vehicle safety functions as needed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to purchase a new screen because the vehicle was out of warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Transmission line has worn a hole from the location it sits under the jeep. The metal hose now has a flat spot. This is because its rubbing on the metal plate below it. I attached photos. I do have a video of what we are seeing and how it’s happening. Yes, it was taken to a dealership for proper diagnosis. Part is unavailable, because of a common issue. No dealership’s are willing to sell the part. It just stated leaking drives fine for now.

8/2023 one rear seat belt would no longer retract. The problem was reproduced by the service center and they replaced the rear seat belt. 10/2025 the same rear seat belt would no longer retract and 11/2025 the other rear seat belt would no longer retract. Brought into Jeep dealer and they verified there are no obstructions affecting the seat belt and they are no operating as intended. They replaced both rear seat belts in 12/2025.

I purchased my Jeep in 2023 and have consistently stayed up to date on all required maintenance. I had no issues with the vehicle until recently, when the check engine light and the start/stop warning appeared out of nowhere. After inspection, the mechanic determined that the entire engine needs to be replaced due to severe coolant leakage. My vehicle has now been in the repair shop for over three months because the engine is on national backorder. I contacted the dealership, but they dismissed my concerns and told me that once the car is purchased, it’s no longer their responsibility. I then reached out to the manufacturer requesting a goodwill resolution, given the unreasonable repair delay and the national backorder of such a critical component. Lemon law mileage limits do not apply to goodwill assistance, trade-in support, or corporate escalations. Despite this, the manufacturer has refused to provide any explanation or documentation for why they cannot assist and it has been three months with no progress. There were no warnings or indicators that something was failing internally, and my mechanic confirmed there was absolutely nothing I could have done to prevent this. I’ve also seen numerous reports of this same issue affecting my specific make and model. Stellantis needs to take accountability. It is completely unfair that I am left without reliable transportation for months over an issue that was entirely out of my control.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the service electronic control warning light, the check engine, and the traction control warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that while driving at night and looking in the rear-view mirror, the brake lights remained activated. The contact stated that the brake lights eventually deactivated. The contact stated that the brake light remained on after the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the failures were related to an unrepaired recall. The contact stated that the vehicle was not officially diagnosed. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, parts for the recall repair were not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure several times. The contact was informed that the parts would be available in mid-November 2025. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

My brake light light up, check engine light comes on and my Stability Control system does not work. My car won't electric start as the check engine light is illuminated. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they could not help me as there is no fix in place.

While driving on I-95 on 11/14/25, the passenger headrest suddenly and unexpectedly exploded forward with great force while I was sitting in the seat. We were not in an accident or collision. The headrest is now push so far forward that it pushes my face down toward my chest. We cannot reset the head rest to its original position and there is some broken plastic inside the headrest mechanism. A warranty extension has been issued for this known problem with 2014-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. When I called my dealership, I was told that my vehicle model was NOT included in this warranty extension.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The ABS, 4WD, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The contact was employed by an independent mechanic, where the codes were reset, but the codes returned after driving the vehicle for five minutes. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the repair was not available. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

This applies to ALL vehicles not just this one. The bulbs should be designed and able to be changed in the lot of a store not only by a dealer. I will be forwarding this to my rep and the White House. This BS has been going on for decades and this department has allowed this extreme safety concern to continue. Lights can burn out anywhere and anytime and to make this dealer maintenance is BS since they all have backlogs, limited hours and limited qualified workers.

Recall as known for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (Service Electronic Stability Control) that is not fixed and no fix in sight. Unsafe to drive. Can’t get a Maine state inspection sticker. Can’t sell. Many electronic codes show on dash. Rear lights stay on and will just go on automatically anytime and when using key fob to lock car. Dealership can’t fix. Manufacturer doesn’t know when there will be a fix. No answers.

Multiple times now, the rear view camera stays on while driving and there's no way to get it to turn off. Hitting the x in the corner of the screen does nothing, the power button nor the screen off button work, and I cant access anything on the screen. While driving, theres a constant view of the road behind me and it's incredibly distracting. This appears to line up with Recall 20V-191, although my specific car isnt included in that but im absolutely experiencing the same things. No warning messages or anything indicating an issue before it happens - it seems completely random. ive tried soft reset and many button press sequences ive found on forums but the only thing thats ever worked is leaving the car off for 20+ minutes so it resets. This has happened on at least 4 different occasions, I have videos of 3 of them.

touch screen went black a year ago , cannot use back-up cam or change the settings for my car temperature settings. warranty has expired and jeep refuses to fix, quoting $1,700 although it’s a known issue for this year vehicle. prior to screen going black it would ghost button change the stations, there were lines in the radio screen and it would randomly shut off and on when driving.

In September 2025, the vehicle was shaking upon idle when we started it. We did a test and learned it was somehow losing coolant. We took it to a mechanic who discovered it was burning coolant in the 5th cylinder. They diagnosed the issue as blown head gaskets caused by the engine being machined incorrectly by the manufacturer. This resulted in the need for a short block removal and replacement, resurfacing the cylinder heads, replacing the head gaskets, among with many smaller repairs. The cost was over $8,000 total for a manufacturing error. If left unresolved, this could have caused further mechanical issues and potentially a crash or other safety issues.

My passenger headrest is coming apart spontaneously. It has an active airbag system. Apparently my vin is just outside a known recall range. I have called Jeep and the dealership, both stated i needed to report to NHTSA. The Jeep will be serviced tomorrow at the dealership for diagnosis and repairs.

My 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee suffered a sudden, catastrophic engine failure with no warning lights or alerts. Dealer confirmed the engine seized from overheating and cannot be repaired—replacement engines are on national backorder. This is my only vehicle, I’m 7 months pregnant, and I’ve been without transportation for 30+ days. This appears to be a widespread 3.6L Pentastar defect and a serious safety concern.

I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the screen is delaminating and now my screen is completely black. I cannot do anything on my screen which controls everything in my car. I'm unable to have my heat or air come out of anything except defrost. I had the heat on to defrost my windshield, and it kept switching to a cold setting causing my windows to not defrost. My car will randomly call people from my contacts list or if I'm on a call will place it on hold or mute. When a feature is supposed to help with distracted driving this is doing anything but that and causes all drives to be very distracting. The temperature of my vehicle is constantly switching because of the screen issues. Before my screen went completely black if I was using GPS it would randomly switch my location sometimes to a different continent again causing for a very distracting and unsafe drive because I didn't know where I was going and had to fumble around to find my phone so I could get my maps and not make a wrong turn. I'm thankful a serious accident hasn't occurred yet because of this distraction but if it does Jeep will be taking responsibility. I have called a jeep dealership and states jeep is saying sorry about you, absolutely unacceptable. There is no warning when this happens it starts out as slow minor things happening and is now extremely unsafe to drive because of the distractions it causes. Not to mention no back up camera for that extra step of safety.

I have videos, but my cars electrical system keeps glitching, It will turn my heated seats on to the pint they burn me, it connects to my phone and will randomly call anyone in my contacts, it changes radio stations, messes with my automatic start, took my traction control off and does this on a regular basis. I had this system fixed in March of 2023 just after I bought the car but it’s already doing it again. It also will randomly just cut off when I’m driving and then will be fine very randomly. - I will have to send you the videos I took it says they are too large to upload here

The 2018 Jeep Grand Cheeroke Uconnect/Radio screen delaminates and causes the unit to make all kinds of error calls, GPS location changes and disabling events, without being touched. This is a serious safety concern and that Jeep or Stellantis should voluntarily recall these units for replacement. The driver's attention gets constantly divided to take care of these extra things while driving.

Drivers head rest has a whiplash protection, the headrest exploded and there was no impact, accident, literally just pulling into the target parking lot. The front of the headrest hit the back of my head while I was driving which was unsafe and painful. The noise it made was also extremely loud and occurred right in my ear which was frightening. I have not sought out for help on this issue or had it looked at, but online i was checking for a recall and I saw many others have had this happen. This is available for inspection though. There was no warning, lights, etc. but this happened completely unprovoked.

They extended to far have to pull back manually Suspension creeks and sometimes lowers by itself , Radio screen is completely black cannot access any features.

The radio in this vehicle has a widespread issue where the screen delaminates and starts ghost touching . Options are randomly selected , people are randomly called , emergency services are attempted to be contacted. Basically anything that the radio controls in the car could be changed or activated . This is extremely distracting and could cause someone to take their focus off the road and cause an accident. The radio controls heater, navigation, seat heaters, phone calls , steering wheel heaters , and many other functions in the car some of which cannot be changed without the malfunctioning radio being on. Fixing this issue is somewhere in the range of $1300 at the dealership. I feel like this is and important safety issue that causes a lot of distraction when driving the vehicle and is really difficult to work around or avoid as the random screen touches are not predictable and seem to happen at random times.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP AND MY DRIVERS HEADREST RANDOMLY POOPED OUT AND HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD! I WAS SHOCKED AND THE POP HURT MY NEXT AND CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME .

My active head rest internal plastic clips that hold the headrest from releasing randomly broke. The headrest propelled forward while driving almost causing an accident. I looked in the headrest and the retaining clips broke without a cause event. I've liked online at threads and this is incredibly common in the grand cherokee

CAM shaft and yes it is available to be looked at. The vehicle was misdiagnosed multiple times and sent back home with the same error code while fixing other items that were not the root cause of the issue. The engine light was on with the misfire code when I brought it in and was repeatedly sent home and within 20 miles the same code returned.

Every time the vehicle proceeds over a speed bump or a dip in the road, it feels as if something is lose and banging in the steering and suspension of the vehicle. I have taken it to the dealer on numerous occasions, and they say they can never find anything wrong nor duplicate the issue. I’m concerned that at some point something may fail and I may lose control of the vehicle.

Delamination of infotainment system has occurred, causing a safety hazard if (or when) needing to use the SOS calling, hands free communication, or heads up navigation system. This is a manufacturers defect that may cause safety to myself or others due to distracting the driver by turning on and off seat warmers, adjusting climate control, randomly calling people and makes the operation of utilizing SOS features impossible. The component has not been inspected, but seems like a common occurrence amongst these this model year. No warning lamps or messages appeared and I was taken off guard when my infotainment system appeared to have a life of its own on the interstate.

TURBO supply line broke causing coolant to go all over the engine.

The vehicle experienced a failure of the engine lifters/rocker arms, which also caused failure of the intake camshaft. This resulted in severe misfires, loss of power, and left the vehicle completely inoperable. The failure created a hazardous situation when the vehicle lost acceleration and was unable to maintain safe driving speeds, placing my safety and the safety of others at risk of collision. The problem was confirmed by Lou’s Car Care and multiple Stellantis dealerships, including Maguire Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. All inspections identified failed rocker arms/lifters and the intake camshaft as the cause of the malfunction. Critically, Stellantis no longer produces replacement intake camshafts for this engine, and the part is listed as indefinitely back ordered and unavailable. This means there is no factory fix, leaving the vehicle permanently disabled. Prior to the failure, the only symptom was a faint ticking noise from the engine. No warning lights or dashboard messages appeared before the incident. The problem escalated suddenly without adequate warning, causing the vehicle to lose power unexpectedly. This failure has caused severe negative consequences for me and my family. Because the vehicle became inoperable and the repair could not be completed, I lost my job due to lack of reliable transportation. I also experienced financial hardship, including losing my vehicle to repossession. My family, including my newborn child, was left without dependable transportation, which created additional safety concerns in emergencies. The failed components remain available for inspection upon request. This issue is widespread across Stellantis vehicles yet has not been addressed through a recall, despite the fact that the defect can cause sudden stalling or total engine failure at unsafe speeds. The unavailability of replacement camshafts means affected vehicles cannot be repaired at all, leaving owners stranded and financially devastated.

Since the beginning of this year, vehicle began to misfire. So far I have spent over $2000 in repairs including replacing spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors and oil cooler and vehicle continues to misfire and blow white smoke from exhaust. I have been advised that it may be a head gasket issue, which could cost anywhere from $3000 to $5000 but could cost more in the event the engine needs to be completely replaced.

Screen delamination causing phantom touches on the control screen

My 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland is experiencing serious electrical malfunctions related to the Uconnect radio head unit. This component appears to control or influence multiple vehicle systems beyond just audio, including climate control, backup camera, navigation, and possibly driver assistance features. The system malfunctions frequently and erratically — settings change on their own, the screen goes black or freezes, and controls become unresponsive while driving. These distractions create a serious safety hazard, as I am forced to take my attention off the road to regain control of basic functions like defrost or audio volume. I have discovered that this issue is widely reported by thousands of Jeep owners from this model year and earlier, particularly those with Uconnect systems. Jeep has refused to address or recall the problem despite it clearly impacting driving safety and vehicle usability. This malfunction significantly impairs my ability to operate the vehicle safely. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this issue as a potential safety defect. I have taken my car to the dealership and was advised that the whole radio unit needs to be completely replace. I have contacted Jeep and inquired about it, they told me they are aware of the issue but at this time, unless the car is under warranty, they do not offer any financial assistance. And it is a rather expensive issue to fix considering there is no fault of the car owners that the items installed in their vehicles are faulty.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at unknown moderate speeds, the vehicle shuddered upon depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that the failure occurred violently while driving at high speeds. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the brake and wheel systems were serviced on 5 separate occasions; however, the failure persisted.

The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred the contact back to the dealer to make an appointment; however, he dealer informed the contact once again that the parts were not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving for approximately 10-minutes, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the vehicle while depressing the accelerator pedal. The RPM lowered and the vehicle failed to respond while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure persisted, and the contact coasted into a parking lot and there was an excessive amount of yellow-grayish smoke coming from the engine compartment. The contact exited the vehicle and became aware of an unknown liquid pouring onto the ground underneath the vehicle, with little pieces of debris and sparks igniting underneath the vehicle. While the contact was on the phone with 9-1-1 Emergency Services, there was a popping sound coming from the vehicle and underneath the hood and over the windshield became engulfed in flames. The Fire Department arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. The contact sustained severe emotional distress because of the failure but had not sought medical attention. The vehicle was towed to an independent tow facility where the vehicle remained. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V699000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact stated that the Insurance Company had not yet determined if the vehicle was a total loss. The dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000.

Rockers & cam shaft are worn and making ticking noise. I only have 86k on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and am diligent with upkeep on the maintenance. This is a very known issue and should be recalled as I have not driven it anymore to prevent further damage to the engine, and also don't have the funds to fork out almost 5k.

I own a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Uconnect 8.4" touchscreen. The screen has begun to delaminate—a well-documented and widespread issue in 2017–2019 Jeep models. As the touchscreen separates from the display, it causes ghost inputs and malfunctions in key systems: - The radio and Apple CarPlay are unusable - The screen randomly calls contacts, including emergency services like 911 without my consent - I’ve had to disable Bluetooth on my phone to prevent unintended calls and inputs - The issue prevents safe and legal use of my Drive Safe & Save Bluetooth beacon from my insurance company Multiple Jeep dealerships quoted between $1,000–$2,000 for repairs, despite this being a known defect. The vehicle is out of warranty, but this malfunction poses a safety hazard. I am filing this complaint to request that NHTSA investigate this issue and encourage Jeep/Stellantis to issue a recall or extended warranty coverage. This issue is not cosmetic—it compromises driver focus, emergency call systems, and critical controls. Many owners are experiencing the same failure with no accountability from the manufacturer.

I have been without a vehicle for over 5 months. Paying on a vehicle that I cannot even get out of the garage. Paying storage insurance on a vehicle. There is a major issue with camshafts right now. I have had the spark plugs changed, coils, oil and I was waiting on the camshaft which is on back order for who knows how long. This needs to be addressed and recalled. With the amount being over 14,000 parts on back order I think this should be recalled. Even people who have had the camshaft fixed are still having engine issues with the 3.6L. Please do something about this, I have put so much money into this and I need a vehicle. At 75,000 miles this should not be happening.

Urgent Safety Concern Regarding Defective Uconnect Radio System Shortly after purchasing my vehicle from Bertera in Westfield, Massachusetts, I began experiencing issues with the radio and related components—namely, erratic or "ghost" activity. I returned the vehicle to the dealership on multiple occasions; however, because the issue failed to replicate while in their possession, they were unable to offer any resolution. The problem persisted intermittently, but escalated significantly during a visit to Logan Airport. While curbside, the vehicle began behaving erratically: the exterior lights flashed, doors locked unexpectedly, heated seats activated, windows became unresponsive, and the vehicle could not be exited—even when approached by a security officer. After powering down and waiting for several minutes (with permission from security, as we exceeded our time limit), the system reset.Despite this dangerous scenario, the dealership again reported they could not reproduce the issue and offered no corrective action. On June 11, in preparation for a trip to Boston, I brought the vehicle to Bedard Brothers in Cheshire, Massachusetts—a certified Jeep dealership. Their technician determined the radio screen was delaminated and causing unintended inputs. They informed me that since my warranty had expired, the repair would cost more than $1,400. On [XXX], during travel to Massachusetts General Hospital, the malfunction occurred again: the heated seats engaged and would not turn off (despite temperatures nearing 90°F), the radio volume spiked uncontrollably, and the prior array of electronic malfunctions returned. Fortunately, I was able to attend the appointment and make it home safely. I have contacted Stellantis, Uconnect, and the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office. While Stellantis expressed sympathy, they stated they could not offer assistance. My research has revealed multiple similar complaints from other vehicle owners. Any help greatly appreciated.

While driving 2018 jeep grand cherokee the transmission will shift its self into neutral and say select desired gear. Then it will shut it self down in the middle of the road.

I am writing to formally report an alarming and dangerous pattern of tire failure involving the Cooper Adventurer HT 265/50R/20 tires (Product Number: 90000025718, DOT: U9UM 1HK) that were installed on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact had pulled up to the curve and placed the gear shifter in park(P). The contact exited the vehicle and walked to the rear of the vehicle to place his wife's luggage in the back. The vehicle rolled backwards, knocked the contact down, and the vehicle ran over the contact's legs. The vehicle came to a stop while the wheels were on top of the contact's legs. The contact's wife entered the vehicle and moved the vehicle off the contact. The contact's wife stated that the gear shift lever had moved independently. Unknown if any warning lights illuminated. The airport police responded. The contact was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The doctor diagnosed that the contact had sustained damage to the nerves, contusions, and a wound that the doctor was unable to close on his legs. The contact had road rash on his legs, back, and elbows. The contact's wife drove the vehicle to the hospital, and the vehicle functioned as intended. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The vehicle was parked at the residence. The contact related that failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

As many others have reported, only 56K miles on this 3.6L Grand Cherokee. When I engage the passing gear an auto stop/start light comes on on the dash followed by the check engine light. Vehicle rides very rough (from a misfire). Taken to an independent shop; they changed plugs and coils but the problem persists. Also a knocking / ticking noise can be heard when accelerating.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light started flashing on and off and the vehicle decelerated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who examined the engine and informed the contact that there were metal shavings inside the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 109,000.

Sensors that activate when objects are close to vehicle and are supposed to warn collision do not work at all. Sometimes they activate when there are no obstacles at all and the vehicle is stationary. Pedestrians are not noticed nor are objects/vehicles that are in the way as the vehicle is in motion (and even stationary). Also the system seems to reboot at will while driving.

The Jeep Uconnect System control screen has delaminated form normal use which is a well documented issue on thousands of jeeps from online research. The delamination now has the vehicle pushing buttons on the screen by itself and changing safety parameters while driving. I have a video showing that while I am driving and not pushing any buttons the screen is frantically changing steering parameters, braking parameters, collision avoidance, lane departure, blind spot, etc. I have a video of the incident and screen doing this by itself. I can not upload it due to size, but please contact me for the video and I will send it.

I purchased a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee on [XXX] unaware that the vehicle was subject to a federal safety recall and stop-sale order. The recall (NHTSA 24V-838 / Manufacturer 94B) was issued on November 7, 2024, for a defect in the ABS control module that may disable the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and cause unintended vehicle movement even while stationary. A stop-sale order (VIR 2024-11-14) was issued by Stellantis on November 14, 2024, prohibiting the sale or delivery of affected vehicles until repaired. Despite this, the dealership sold me the vehicle while the recall was still open and unrepaired. In the months following my purchase, I began experiencing issues with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC). On June 15, 2025, I paid $770 out-of-pocket for ETC sensor repairs after a loss of throttle response. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, but this defect may be linked to the broader electronic issues cited in the recall. No warning lights appeared in advance. I have been driving this vehicle daily without knowing it could malfunction in a way that puts myself and others at risk. I only learned of the recall on June 22, 2025, when I searched the VIN through NHTSA’s database. This has caused emotional distress, financial harm, and a complete loss of trust in the vehicle’s safety. I am seeking appropriate accountability for the illegal sale of this recalled vehicle and want to ensure others are not put in similar danger.

I was driving my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 on the highway at approximately 65-70 MPH, when suddenly the car started sputtering and my check engine light came on and started blinking. The car was essentially not drivable, so I pulled over at a gas station and had the car towed. This is dangerous as I was going uphill, and could have caused an accident, or worse. I did not have a check engine light prior to this! The next day the car was inspected and diagnosed by independent service center, who said there was a cylinder 4 engine misfire, so they replaced the spark plugs and the coils. Car was fixed, or so I thought, fast forward a couple months later while driving to work, same issue (misfires and sputtering) occurs again and coolant now runs low even though there are no visible signs of coolant leakage. I spoke to the independent service center and they mentioned there might be an issue with the engine such as a head gasket or fuel system. I got the Jeep towed to get checked, it was confirmed that it was an engine issue, especially the head gasket, camshaft, pistons, and lifters, and that I was going to need a new engine and it would cost between $8500 - 13000. My Jeep has approximately 83K miles. The issues I describe here with this engine are all similar to those that have been reported.

The 2018 grand Cherokee has issues with mother board and electrical ghosts. 1st it was headlights and dome lights. they would flicker. i had to change the front lights 2x in a year. i thought this was odd. never did this with any car before. then I was driving home from work during rush hour and it started to rain. started the wipers front and back. the back wiper started and went halfway and got stuck. what happen? the front wipers went on for several revolutions (say 10-20 ) then stopped. started again. then stopped again. the rain intensity grew. Now the -wipers would only work when turned in opposite direction (the manual 1 pass move). this happened as i was trying to get home and stuck bumper to bumper on [XXX] . on this dangerous highway in middle of now a torrential downpour the front wipers now decided it wouldn't work AT ALL. i couldn't see anything and veered off to the shoulder thank god - waiting for rain to stop and then safely proceeded home. the next day the wipers worked. no check engine or anything. this goes on for a week or so with no issue. then out of nowhere the driver seat decides it has a mind of its own and pushes me all the way to the steering column. it wouldn't return when pushing the back button. i had to drive like that for my trip and then it magically went back upon restart. i take to dealer. pump motors bad on front and back. i say not sure your correct and explain. motor changed on front. not fixed. ok we think its the BCM. changed not fixed. finally the PDM was changed and wow it worked. 2 weeks at dealer and this shows that this issue with the control module is certainly risking peoples safety. i hope Jeep does the right thing and prevents a serious catastrophic event. read on the jeep electric issues and my vehicle had a previous "corrected" recall for Electrical Cruise Control. I dont think the fireware updates or software changes fixed all the bugs. be safe out there jeep INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The Head gaskets are leaking. Cost of parts to replace is $200 and cost of LABOR is over $4000 quoted from Cross Motors Jeep.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with ABS system failure. The contact was informed that the ABS system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 57,216. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Head gasket/engine failure. Constant check engine light. First it was for a misfire and my engine was overheating. Had oil clogging the filter even though it was changed within the appropriate mileage. I got the check engine fixed April of 2024. May 20,2025, head gasket blew, causing me to now have to replace my engine completely. Same issues as previously reported

The main screen in the vehicle delaminated and caused quite a number of issues. Heated seats would randomly turn on and off and the temp on gbe seats would not go down, phone would call people over and over including 911, compartment heat would randomly turn on the highest setting and would not turn down, goo like substance came out of screen into the storage compartment below the screen, getting all over items stored. The radio would constantly change stations. All the issues became true safety hazards. I called their 800# and was referred to a dealer who charged me over $1000 with no remorse from Jeep. I am a 25 year owner of jeeps and not too pleased with the lack of response from Jeep. My next car will not be a Jeep!

The active headrest on the driver's seat deployed spontaneously on it's own during normal operation of my vehicle. The headrest is now unable to be reset as it appears some components of the active headrest mechanism were faulty. This put my safety at risk as a driver as the active headrest can not activate in the event that it needs to activate during a possible collision. The headrest and seat causes strain and injury to my neck while driving as it is now positioned forward from the seat. This also causes strain to the rest of my spine. This issue is not covered by the original dealer that sold me my vehicle. There are no warning lamps or messages that have appeared since this problem first occurred.

The head gasket blows around 80,000 miles. This is a known problem consumers have with this vehicle. My estimate to have this fixed is over $6,000.00.

The Screen has delaminated and is not functional. If on while driving it goes haywire and has to be turned off. This effects hands free, gps, climate control, etc. This is a known issue with these jeeps but has not merited a recall as of yet. It needs to be recalled.

The UCONNECT screen has delaminated due to a known manufacturing defect. This causes ghost touches on the screen, posing safety risks from distraction, inability to make hands-free phone calls, and unusable navigation tools.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable.

The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Three concerns: (1) the engine light is on. mechanics cannot determine why. (2) the car has trouble starting. When I park indoors, the car doesn't start. The engine turns over several times and the RPM goes all the way up, but the car will not start until the 3rd or 4th try. mechanics cannot determine why. (3) when I pump gas, the fuel pump automatically shuts off even though the gas tank is not full. So I have to hold the pump in place and use the gas gauge to determine when the tank is full. mechanics have seen this problem in other jeeps but haven't given me a reason why.

The ABS and Traction control lights are on. There is an open recall for this, but according to Stellantis, this Jeep is not part of the recall.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the brakes and ABS warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that occasionally the lights remained illuminated for five minutes before turning off. The contact stated that when the doorknob was touched, the warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number 24V838000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Uconnect 8.4" infotainment screen is delaminating. This causes the touch screen to randomly press buttons during driving. This can make calls to contacts, or emergency numbers during driving. This can change settings at random during driving like seating heat, radio stations, other vehicles settings such as drive assistant software, turning on and off, blind spot notifications, lane assist, etc. Very distracting for a driver to continue to try and drive while focusing on what just happened or what was just changed. If your phone is connected to the device, it can call 911, or other contacts change volume setting, get stuck to where you can't change them. gain very distract and a safety concern. It is a well know issue with this model. This issue is no longer being fixed by service center or dealer without a 1500-2500$ service fee. This seem like a manufacturing defect and major safety concern while driving.

I have been experiencing slow crank issues for months now. The vehicle will have a slow crank then start. If it does not start on the first try, it will start on the second attempt. This concerns me as I've read many complaints regarding high pressure fuel pump issues on Jeep Grand Cherokees. I am concerned about my safety especially being stranded at night time. I was told I need to change the fuel pump. I called the dealership and was also told that many Jeep Grand Cherokees have been experiencing the same issue which was fixed by replacing the fuel pump. If many vehicles are experiencing the same problem, why is this not considered a recall?

I just bought this vehicle in February. Since then, about 4 times while driving when i came to a stop the car will not accelerate and the screen tells me to put car in “P” then shift into gear. One time I had to restart the car to put into gear. Then the car drives again.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated after the Auto/Start unavailable message was displayed and became inoperable. Upon starting the vehicle, the Auto START/STOP unavailable message was displayed. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

The manufacturer opened a case and attempted to expedite the parts. The failure mileage was approximately 71,500. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The infotainment system touchscreen (Uconnect) in my Jeep Grand Cherokee is experiencing delamination and ghost touch issues. The screen randomly activates functions such as adjusting the climate control temperature, changing radio stations, or toggling other system settings without any input. This component is still installed in the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? While driving, the infotainment system automatically and unpredictably changes settings due to ghost touches. This includes increasing or decreasing cabin temperature, activating seat heaters or defrosters, and switching media sources, all without driver input. This is a major distraction and forces me to divert my attention from the road to regain control of the system, increasing the risk of an accident. Additionally, sudden temperature changes or screen flashes could startle the driver or affect visibility and focus, especially at night. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the issue has been reproduced and acknowledged by the dealership during service visits. The ghost touch issue was observed in real-time by a technician. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has been inspected by the authorized Jeep dealership. However, the manufacturer has not provided a definitive fix or recall for the issue at the time of this report. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps or messages. The first symptoms appeared as minor screen glitches and unresponsive touch commands. Over time, the issue escalated to consistent ghost touches and screen delamination

While driving on the expressway, traffic stopped and on the dashboard it said shift to park and the jeep completely turned off. I was in the middle of the expressway so it was scary, I’m glad we were stopped since it was rush hour. The truck turned on right away. I took it to the dealer a couple of days later and they didn’t find the issue. I’m still nervous driving my truck because I’m scared it might happen again

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that after stopping the vehicle and shifting into park(P), the vehicle started rolling backwards in the driveway. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had occurred several times. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer advised the contact to use the parking brake while parking the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

Recall number 24V-838. My vehicle currently has a temporary tag/registration as it has not passed state-required safety inspection, directly related to the reason for the recall, a faulty HCU/ABS module. With this temporary tag expiring soon and no remedy for the recall, I will not be able to use my vehicle. I will not be able to get to work and home, I am not able to go grocery shopping, and the many other errands I take care of each week. In the meantime, my vehicle remains parked and unused. A vehicle that it is not used does fall apart. If there is no projection for finding a remedy, for how long is my vehicle going to be parked and not used? The lack of a remedy for this recall has become very real in my world. This is extremely frustrating because I love my Jeep, I truly do. Please advise when do you expect to have a remedy for this recall.

Touch screen delamination issue. The touchscreens control different aspects of the vehicle, from the Radio to HVC system. After delamination has occurred the systems go berserk and cannot be used. It's obvious looking at the screen it has delamination issues. I called Jeep Customer Care, and their policy doesn't cover 2018 models. There are multiple threads online about this issue. Dealers charge $1,500-2,000 to replace/fix which is ridiculous when it is a known default of the screen they are installing in the vehicles. There have been no other issues with the vehicle or symptoms, it started switching radio channels once and awhile late 2024 and has progressed to almost every time the car is started. Its frustrating consumers have to pay out of pocket when the manufactures know they installed defective screens.

Component Failure: The control screen is going through a process of delamination. It creates "ghost touches" and behaves erratically. Safety at Risk: In one instance the backup camera came on and stayed on randomly, while I was driving forward. Another time it activated the phone and began calling down the contact list. It called, then hung up. Dialed the next person and hung up. And continued through the contact list. People began "returning my call" and it got worse. I was driving on the interstate during heavy traffic and couldn't just pull over anywhere. It was distracting, alarming, and unnerving. It also randomly turns the radio on. It will randomly change heat/ac turning it on/off. Turns the heated/cooled seats on/off. All of the controls in that panel are subject to these ghost touches. It's distracting when driving but also could be dangerous. Dealership Confirmed: The dealership has looked at it, analyzed it, and confirmed the issue. They see it frequently. Jeep customer service is kicks you to the dealer and the dealer kicks you to customer service. No resolution except to pay out of pocket for this manufacturing defect. Warnings or Symptoms: There was no warning that the delamination was going to occur. And it first happened at the end of 2024. My car is a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

My Jeep began having issues with the stability control light coming on. And the my brake lights would come on. and some notification around ABS brakes. Took it to a dealer and they said they couldn't fix it was part of a recall. A couple days later, I received the recall notice. The recall states there is no remedy. I have stopped driving my car because the brake lights come on intermittently and when I park someone where the lights will stay on for a long period of time. Sometimes they go off, sometimes not. The stability control light and check engine light remain on - unknown if the light is just on or if there is an issue. Jeep is offering no remedy other than they tell me to contact the dealer who tells me Jeep has not come up with a remedy. I can't sell the car like this, or trade in without losing money. I have no idea what to do at this point.

Shifter park select a gear and engine lights on

This vehicle needs a new transmission. Dealership cannot locate one to fix. What should be my next steps, it's my daughters vehicle. Who needs tp get back and from HS, Collage class, cheer and work.

POWER TRANSFER UNIT While driving it seems to go out of gear and revs up. Have to shift out of present drive to netural and back to drive. Happens off and on. Done it on interstate would not go with giving gas until shifted to netural and back to drive. Almost got rear ended There is a recall for same problem but mine is not on recall list. WHY THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING. Also there was a recall on my type of vehicle but not mine for Suppension block which I had to just have done a week ago that cost me $4000.00 at John Hinderer Chrysler Dodge at 1290 Hebron Rd Heath Ohio 43055. Ph 740-522-1106 which can give the repair list. Why again was mine not on the list. This should have been covered.

Grandfather bought the car for me in December 2024. It was sold and wasn’t told there were any issues with the car. It was bought in Texas. I drove it to Colorado. Two and a half weeks into driving the car, it was leaking a lot of oil. Had it looked at and was told The oil housing unit was dumping oil out of it bc it was made of plastic not aluminum. I was trying to go through extended warranty not knowing the severity of the issues of the car. I was going to have it looked at by jeep instead of Midas. They were booked out for over 2 weeks. I was trying to keep oil in the engine while waiting to get it looked at by Jeep. The engines ended up seizing on me. I had put more oil in it the day it seized up on [XXX]. I had to have it towed to pep boys just find out the engine got messed up by the crack in f he coolant and housing unit. The oil lamp came on 2 days before New Year’s Eve. I was trying to find a place to schedule to be looked at and couldn’t get it looked at until after the New Year. I had called Greg May Honda back in Texas to double check to see if they changed the oil before they sold it and said they did. I barely put over 1200 miles on the car since it was bought off the lot. I started doing research on it after the car engine seized up. Come to find out that there is a recall on the oil issue. I also found out that it would lead to the engine seizing up. I believe Pep boys might have reported the issue as of today for a safety recall on it.

The screen on the Uconnect/stereo system has de-laminated. This causes ghost touches and the screen jumps around on its own. Controls switch on their own, from media, to navigation, to climate, to controls, etc…It will also make phone calls on its own and has even dialed 911. This all happens while driving. It causes a huge distraction which is a safety issue. It also makes the whole system inoperable. Based on my research this is a very common issue with 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees.

Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, I'm writing to report a critical safety concern regarding the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee's water pump design. As an owner, I've experienced persistent coolant leaks, which I've found is a widespread issue affecting many others. This problem stems from a fundamental design flaw in the water pump, not typical wear and tear. The issue centers on a small "freeze plug" that leaks when the engine reaches operating temperature. This plug serves no apparent purpose and causes premature failures and coolant leaks across numerous vehicles. Key points: The leak occurs consistently when the engine is hot, indicating a design-related problem. This issue potentially leads to engine overheating and severe damage. It affects many vehicles, particularly those with the 3.6L V6 engine. Extensive research on online forums confirms this is a common problem. A YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73MgJF4bx5o) provides insight into the issue. The creator states: "Upon digging into this a bit deeper, I don't believe it's the 'weep hole'. It's actually like a small 'freeze plug' that leaks on these pumps. If you look through the pulley at the opposite side of the aluminum freeze plug that leaks, you will see the weep hole. This 'freeze plug' that leaks serves no purpose as far as I see it. It's just like they slapped this plug in the front of the pump… and it leaks when it gets hot." Given this evidence of a design flaw and its widespread impact, I urge NHTSA to: Investigate the water pump design of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee and similar models. Assess the safety implications, including the risk of engine overheating and potential vehicle failures. Consider whether a recall or other corrective action is necessary. The fact that this is a design issue rather than wear-and-tear underscores its urgency. All vehicles with this water pump design are potentially at risk, regardless of mileage or maintenance history. Thank you

UConnect screen delamination is causing "ghost touching" in system. Climate control, phone, music, vehicle controls - including air suspension settings, are all impacted depending on particular event. Some are just annoyance, some are safety concerns. Air suspension height adjustments and off road settings can be controlled in the UConnect screens. THE ONLY way to lock the air suspension for towing or jacking (tire repair, oil change, etc.) is through the UConnect screens. There are 1,000's of complaints about this system issue on Jeep forums, and I was surprised at the lack of NHTSA complaints when I logged in to see the status. I have video's of the system ghosting on several different screens on different dates if you'd like to have them please provide a link to upload or an email to send them too.

Please see ALL the reports of the same exact issue. There is an issue with the 2018 Grand Cherokee Engines. This blown head gasket is now going to cost me $13,000 to get a new engine. Every report listed in this link IS THE SAME ISSUE. Please address the issues and reimburse owners of this Jeep having to replace their engines.

A recall NHTSA 20V-699 was issued on our vehicle in March 2021. This is related to a Fire Hazard. The recall repair was done and component exchanged, now 3 years later and 35,000 miles we have exactly the same issue. A cracked EGR cooler, same as previous. My concern is that the replaced part is from the same batch as originally and as such they replaced a dangerous part with another dangerous part. The dealer and FCA refuses to replace the part as they say the recall has been closed. I my opinion this Fire Hazard still exists and repair was not done with a quality product, as it is exactly the same issue. as before.

Radio screen delaminating and causing ghost touching. Dials unwanted phone calls. Turns the AC on when its negative outside and vice versa during the summer it was turning the heat on. Very distracting and hazardous. I have children in the vehicle and it has been a hazard multiple times.

All-wheel drive is no longer working due to messages stating "service anti-lock brake system," "service air suspension immediately," and check engine light. All lights and cautionary messages came on at the exact same moment while coming out of park over a year ago. I have had the vehicle repaired twice, and the dealership says, "It is a wiring issue," but within a month after being repaired each time, the messages and issues begin happening again.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the air condition system independently turned on high regardless of the temperature the system was set to. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the U-connect entertainment center needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The radio randomly changes every 5 seconds, the beeping will drive a person insane, blutooth will hang up or not allow me to answer or call out. The seat warmers turn on randomly as well and i’m unable to lower the temp or turn them off. A/C in the winter and heat the summer. auto start doesn’t work cuz vehicle shuts itself off after 30s - 1 min and navigation is useless cuz of this electrical gremlin. How long before it accelerates by itself or cuts the engine while I’m on the freeway. Safety HAZARD

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle started hesitating and then stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, and the mechanic had the vehicle towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The throttle body wiring was replaced, and the codes were reset. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and it was suggested that the vehicle needed to be retested. The vehicle was repaired again. The contact stated that after retrieving the vehicle from the dealer, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle accelerated independently while depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while coming to a stop. The contact made a left turn into a parking lot and the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact stopped the vehicle and had the vehicle towed back to the dealer where the vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.

The UConnect system has started to delaminate, causing a "ghost touch" action where various settings are being changed while driving. This includes constantly making noises as the screen is s being activated, redirecting the navigation system while driving, turning on radio randomly, changing driver and passenger seat settings, turning off defogging/defroster, making phone calls, including 411 or emergency help services, all of this while driving without any external input. It is very distracting and dangerous.

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6 L V6 Engines have a high rate of having HEAD GASKET problems around 100,000 miles causing vehicle to overheat and leak liquid into the cylinders damaging the engine. Please look into this problem at dealerships around the country with this year, make and model and discover how common of an issue this is with owners.

Took my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle in as oil was leaking badly , which could have made a dangerous situation. Was told by mechanic that my oil filter adapter had to be replaced. Was advised it was made of plastic and had cracked. The mechanic could not believe there wasn’t already a recall on this part. He replaced it with an aluminum part but this was a costly repair costing close to 1,100.00.

Hello first the vehicle is stock and only has 80k miles. the battery jumper terminals become scorching hot as I got burned by touching them when I inspected the engine area because you can smell a light burn smell. So I have had a mechanic check The vehicles battery and he told me it's getting over charged by the alternator which is is regulated by the internal computer which is extremely pricey to replace. I looked into previous recalls and chrysler had defective parts in Chrysler's recall # U87. I was told by Chrysler my vin was not effected but I feel this is in error as I'm having the exact issue in the mentioned recall.

I am experiencing recurring issues with the Uconnect infotainment system in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Specifically, the system consistently experiences problems with: •⁠ ⁠Station changes •⁠ ⁠Navigation functionality •⁠ ⁠Connecting calls through Bluetooth using my phone's contact list •⁠ ⁠Randomly turning the heating and air conditioning system on and off These issues occur constantly, making it difficult to utilize the Uconnect features safely and effectively. I am concerned about potential safety implications, such as distracted driving or loss of critical vehicle functions.

The EGR Valve, Diesel Particulate Filter, and Intake Manifold failed at 88k miles. The EGR was replaced at 49k miles on October 4, 2021. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for MIL. The estimated repair cost is $11k. All components are filled with carbon deposits. The emissions system should provide a longer life than 88k miles. Is there a possible design defect with the emission ?

UConnect Radio - Delamination resulting in unpredictable, repetitive, and erratic touches on the screen. At this point, the screen's protective layer is separating from the display and it is causing ghost touches that activate various functions without my input. This has occurred numerous times throughout my driving experiences and occurs every time I drive. It has led to multiple unsafe consequences while driving, the main concern being that it is distracting and confusing leading to unsafe driving conditions. For example, the navigation system has suddenly switched routes, diverting me unexpectedly causing confusion, and has led to multiple near accidents in busy intersections. Additionally, the volume has randomly increased or decreased, making it hard to hear important sounds from the environment, such as sirens or horns from other vehicles. Had this occurred in a moment in which I needed to react quickly an accident could have occurred or my safety could have been compromised. Moreover, if the radio has inadvertently changed to an unrecognized function—like activating the Bluetooth or starting a call—this has been distracting pulling my attention away from the road in multiple scenarios. The vehicle has made unsolicited calls to emergency personnel which is both a distraction to me and an inconvenience to emergency personnel. Overall, the delaminating screen not only complicates my driving experience but also poses a significant safety risk to myself and others on the road. Addressing the issue promptly is essential to ensure a safe driving environment. I have tried to address this problem with Jeep directly via Uconnect and have been informed that they do not believe this to be a concern that requires addressing. The problem has been diagnosed by a Jeep dealer and has been confirmed by Uconnect directly. Additionally, the problem has occurred in multiple other Jeep vehicles.

Jeep uses a transmission manufactured by ZF. Jeep claims the transmission is "filled for life" and does not require any maintenance, and never requires the oil to be changed. ZF recommends the oil be changed every 50-75,000 miles. Many other car manufacturers that utilize ZF transmissions recommend that same interval. In fact, if you push Jeep to change your transmission oil, they suggest it will void your warranty. Preventative maintenance in the form of a transmission fluid change is necessary for the health and longevity of the vehicle. Jeep is negligent in this matter. When your transmission fails, you are thrust into "limp" mode, capping your speed at 15-20 mph. This occurred to me on the highway. I narrowly avoided being rear ended in traffic traveling 65+ mph. My car has been babied, all factory recommended services have been done in a timely manner, I was not having any issues with the car at the time, and there were no symptoms, warning lights, etc at the time.

The touchscreen radio panel is delaminating and causing the system to freak out. Sometimes the radio will turn on by itself and blare out music, or all of the fans will turn on turbo at once. The navigation will freak out and turn off and it will auto-dial or auto-hang up phone calls. Sometimes when I am driving down the high way, the air or radio blasting from out of nowhere and totally unprompted will scare me and cause me to jerk the steering wheel or become significantly distract from the road. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the dealer, and it is a known defect, but they will not take responsibility for the safety hazard or the cost of replacement. No inspection by any outside parties, yet. No warning signs.. the screen just started to melt/delaminate and then all of the ghost features began causing chaos while driving.

the number 4 and 5 cylinders warped in my 3.6 engine Cross Motors in Louisville Ky is repairing the engine

Active head restraint went off while parked in a parking lot with individual sitting in affected seat. No accident/collision happened, no warning lights or other symptoms prior.

Battery drain. Two (2) new batteries installed Aux and Main battery bought/installed February 2024. I am still having battery drainage issues.

I was driving to work with the heated seat on. I began to feel my lower back getting extremely hot. I leaned forward and when I did I could smell something burning and my back began to burn. I quickly pulled over and jumped out of the car as quickly as possibly to see that my seat had physical flame coming from it. I contacted Jeep about the situation and was ultimately told it was somehow not a manufacturing issue. In addition to the seat fire my touch screen has completely delaminated and sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Making it a safety hazard with the back up camera only showing when screen is operational. The screen also does things on its own. Changing radio stations, blasting radio volume, turning on/off. This is extremely distracting while driving.

There is a faulty connection so the airbags may not deploy

The screen to the radio and the navigation is delaminating. This is a safety concern as the screen is uncontrollable and can not be used. This was confirmed by a Jeep dealership. Jeep will not acknowledge the problem or repair the issue.

Touchscreen has delaminated, causing Jeep to turn vehicle AC, Heat, Radio, Audio systems on and off at random and unable to control. Vehicle has become unsafe to drive.

The glue of the dashboard has caused the leather on the dashboard to bubble on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I brought it to the jeep dealership, and they said it happens all the time from the sun. Its a known defect, but its not covered by the extended warranty. They said they have had recalls on this in the past with other years and models, but not this year/model yet. I reached out to Jeep Cares and Chrysler, but neither will help.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rear glass fractured without impact. The contact's minor children were seated in the rear seat when the failure occurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

this is a known jeep problem. the radio screen which controls not only the radio but other systems including ac/heat/defrost is delaminating and randomly clicks all over the screen. jeep is refusing to fix this known manufacturing defect because i am not the original owner. this is a very significant safety issue because a lot of the controls are via the screen including putting it into tow mode. it is also very distracting when driving and could lead to serious injury or death. this has been an ongoing issue since i purchased the vehicle and is getting worse. please advise.

The stereo system screen began delaminating approximately 1 year ago. The delamination causes the stereo to malfunction, make sounds, and cause a major distraction when driving. It has come to my knowledge that this is a very frequent issue in the 2018 Grand Cherokees. There were no warning messages, the screen just glitches and completely malfunctions which is making it dangerous to drive and manage simultaneously.

While driving, all the light on the dashboard come on. When this happens the speedometer is not working the windshield wipers come on. The emergency brake light is on, the car shifts out of gear and the turning signals don't work and the hazard lights won't work. This is all happening at the same time. I'm unable to inform people on the road that I'm in distress because my hazard light won't work I don't know how fast or slow I'm going. I can't inform the people on the road that I want to change lanes. Then after a while all the lights on the dashboard would go out and the check engine light would remain on for maybe two days and than go out. This problem has been going on since January I have paid thousands of dollars attempting to get this problem fixed. My car has been back and forth to the same Chrysler central Ave dealership where I purchased my 2018 jeep grand Cherokee to which I'm still paying for.

I bought a 2018 jeep grand Cherokee limited on July 1,2024. A week after owning the vehicle the jeep kept shutting off while driving on the interstate and the dash said “ put in P and push to start” none of the hazard lights came on. It just automatically shut off in the middle of traffic multiple times and when put into park and tried to restart it would take several attempts. This is unsafe and I’m lucky I did not get into an accident since the vehicle is just turning off while I’m driving on a busy highway not to mention almost getting into an accident since I’m given no warning. I dropped off my jeep at the dealership and they have had it for two weeks stating they can not find any issues with the vehicle. This is frustrating and scary and do not even feel comfortable driving a the jeep that I owned for one week. I have read several complaints in the same issue and k won’t seems to be able to find what is causing this issue.

The screen that controls many of the functions in the vehicle is delaminating and from online forms I have researched this is a very common problem.

Car dealer said that they already fixed the recalled issue. But we took car to the dealer also for car overheating in very short distances and the car only has about 67,300 miles. The dealer said that they "found stored DTC in PCM" P0304(Cylinder #4 Misfire). "There are combustion gases in cooling system." They said the car needed cylinder head replacement and engine replacement quoting me $8001.88 for repairs which I could not pay. The car has only been driven locally. We also suspect that this car may have been damaged by hurricane Michael in Florida in 2018 and damage may have not been reported. Car was bought in Florida in approx. September 2018 by owner 1 who sold the car to owner 2 with only approx. 2500mi after Hurricane Michael (Oct 9-10th). The car was sold to owner 2 in November 2018 in Florida then brought to California in 2021 and sold to owner 3 who is making this report. Or car may have already presented mechanical issues that may not been reported. Car has only been driven locally.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while at the gas station and refueling the vehicle, the contact became aware that the pump nozzle was stopping as if the tank was full. The contact stated that fuel system warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as a failure with the fuel tank. The contact was informed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

Tv screen delaminated on its own

Stop Start comes on and will turn the car off when stopped. I have to put the car in Park to restart the car. The deal said that there is no recall for this issue.

Air Bags Failed to Deploy During An Accident Vehicle Hit A Tree No Warning Lamps Prior To Accident Vehicle Towed Due To Damage Vehicle Deemed Totaled By Insurance Company

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power intermittently. Additionally, the contact observed a burning odor inside the cabin of the vehicle. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the cam shaft, oil valve, and other unknown parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Car began to shake after looking under the hood found low coolant. After replacing the coolant it continued to run low only after 1 week. After second time replacing coolant engine light came on and it was taken to a mechanic who had codes come up as misfires. After replacing spark plugs and full tune up, engine light came back on. After taking it to a dealership they found a crack in the gasket at coolant passage. Car never over heated for the crack to have happened. Also seeing many other people with the same issue at the same mileage of 72k mile or less. I believe there is an issue with the head gasket.

Driving home on dark, deserted roads, my brights will not click on. When I click, nothing happens. When I hold the turner back in the mode to “flash my brights”, the bright headlights will come on. I had to drive holding this back almost an hour so I could see. I had a mechanic look and he said the switch is wired to the computer, so it is not an easy fix, but will have to go to the dealership. This is a safety issue. Dealerships are far from me and expensive. I’ve never had this issue with a vehicle before, when all lights are functioning. It should be recalled and fixed by the manufacturer.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start-up as needed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed as a failure with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve. The contact was informed that the EGR valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

At around 66,861 miles my car started to do a weird shaking, slowing down on highway, rattling, and missing. I brought to dealer and they stated I needed an EGR valve replacement. This was done yet the code did not reset and the problem happened again. Now, I’m told well my vehicle needs an egr cooler!??? What is this? And why was this not communicated to me before I had the work done. Also, why would this malfunction so fast. This was July 18, 2022. There are no recalls but there should be with this happening so soon? I have children and this is scary on the highway.

My jeep has stalled on me twice attempting to go through a stop sign at a busy intersection as soon as I slowed the jeep down and then accelerated to go through the stop sign it stalled on a major hwy. no lights come on and the automatic shutoff button is turned off And for the past month the jeep hasn’t started without either a jump or sitting a while after it was hooked to another vehicle.

Additionally, the contact stated while driving 25 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the residence. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to restart the following day. The check engine warning light was illuminated. Several messages indicating the air bag, the Engine Stop/Start system, the FWD system failures, and other unknown failures were displayed. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving on another occasion. The vehicle was towed to the residence, where a mobile independent mechanic diagnosed that the PCM had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted and advised the contact to take the vehicle to their location for diagnostic testing. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V524000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

The screen has delaminated and is not functioning, causing the heat, AC, defrost, and other systems to activate, deactivate and malfunction. This is incredibly distracting to the driver and creates unsafe driving issues.

The radio is delaminating causing defects. Changes radio station randomly. Adjusts heat settings and air conditioning settings without warning. Glue is melting and running down behind radio into storage compartment.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started and the panoramic sunroof was opened, glass from the shattered sunroof fell into the cabin of the vehicle. The contact had not observed an object shattering the sunroof. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or a glass repair shop to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

While I was driving home from work the headrest deployed and hit me on the back of the head. I thought that I was hit from behind due to how my head jerk forward. When I inspected the headrest to try and reset it back to the normal position but realized that the plasitc clip had snapped off. In searching online I noticed that others were having the same issue. The vehicle did not and currently does not have any warning lights turned on.

I replaced the auxiliary battery, the main battery and the alternator, and my car is still losing power. I think that the voltage regulator that regulates how much power the battery gets is the actual issue. My car was manufactured in October 2017. Why wasn’t it apart of the original recall? I want this fixed. I shouldn’t have had to shell this money out when it’s a manufacturer’s defect.

Crash safety feature in the headrest deployed on its own. Dealer verified the headrest deployed but Jeep is refusing to repair/replace the unit. Jeep has a limited recall on this problem already but says my vehicle doesn't qualify (see attached). Dealer charged $209 for evaluation and wants an additional $290 to repair the headrest.

Jeep would not start. No warning lights. Towed to the mechanic. Mechanic said starter needed to be replaced. Once the starter was replaced the mechanic noted whitish smoke from exhaust when starting the Jeep. Further diagnosis he determined the Jeep needed a head gasket replacement. As other Jeep owners have stated this came with no warning. This is a safety issue in part because the vehicle is unable to start leaving the drivers potentially started in unsafe conditions. Jeep needs to post a recall for this issue. Please advise next steps?

The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed. The contact was informed that coolant was leaking into the engine. The contact was informed that the water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000. The VIN was not provided.

Crankshaft positioning sensor I’m sure my jeep falls into the recall I purchased it in march 24 and as soon as I drove off the lot with it the light came on got home scanned to find the cause and it’s the crankshaft sensor

Misfiring. Can't seem to get the check engine light off. Vehicle is too new to be having these sorts of issues. Diagnostic reader says 3rd cylinder misfire.

Brakes failed when attempting to slow down, ABS kicked in on dry blacktop with no lights on dash before locking up and throwing the vehicle off of the road. Caused me to wreck into a tree head on at 50 mph. Seatbelt did not lock up and airbags did not deploy. Vehicle was totaled with heavy front end damage including a bent and snapped frame. Prior to incident had issues with low beam headlights not working/going out prematurely. Was told by Herrenstein Jeep in Chillicothe this was not an electrical issue. Low beam headlights failed again 2 weeks prior to incident.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The computer system keeps intermittently saying the turn signal bulbs are out turning off the front signal when you want to use it. The bulbs are a bunch of LED’s in the headlight and it shouldn’t turn off all of them even if one is out (they are all working properly regardless). It seems to be a fault within the computer system either inside the headlight assembly or in the car.

The infotainment center is defective and "ghost touches" all over the screen. This is a hazard when driving as the volume will be turned all the way up or the screen changes off of navigation mode to something else. Additionally, random phone calls will be made or if I'm on the phone, the call will be ended from the random touches. This ultimately results in distracted driving. The UConnect and CarPlay features are designed to minimize distracted driving, however this is simply counterproductive with the screen deficiencies.

Been in the shop & dealer multiple times! Check engine light on for misfire in cylinder one; oil pressure sensor code. Oil case housing was replaced due to cracking! And oil pressure sensor replaced also. But still isn’t fixed and now leaks oil. Head gasket problems. Shop informed me I’ll need to replace loosing coolant going into my head gasket. Around 140k miles but problems occurred before! Jeep please explain why this is happening! A lot of money to fix it and problem after problem

Passenger outer seat belt/retractor failed to retract. The belt has to be manually ratcheted back. Licensed repair shop removed & inspected mechanism for obstruction. Found no cause for failure, out of vehicle retracts properly. In a sudden stop the front passenger is not protected as the belt does not lock or retract without manual procedure. No warning lamps or codes. Contacted local dealership Service department for possible recall or customer satisfaction bulletin & was told that nothing was available for vehicle. Replacement part is on national backorder with no ETA according to local dealership Parts department. Hundreds of units are on backorder leading me to conclude that the manufacturer is aware of a safety issue but has not provided a resolution to consumers

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving or while the vehicle was parked, the passenger's side front seat belt had to be manually retracted. The contact stated that when the seat belt was manually retracted and the passenger moved forward, the seat belt failed to lock properly. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The local dealer was made aware of the failure and the part was ordered; however, the part was on backorder. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 195,000.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine block and head are warped. Radio station keeps jumping to random station when I'm not even touching it. Auto On/Off light goes on intermittently. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This could be a failure and engine lock up had I not taken it in when first troubles came about. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes and I'm told the one dealership has 3 THREE other vehicles the same make and model with the same issue! I've also read on forums that many other people have this affect theirs as well. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Check engine light went on a few times, diagnosis showed multiple misfires in the cylinder. White smoke from the exhaust and vehicle shook and acted like it was going to stall upon starting.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while attempting to park and exit the vehicle through the front driver’s side door, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated in reverse. As a result of the failure, the driver's side door struck her arm and leg causing injuries. The contact stated that the vehicle drove off a cliff, and one of the tires experienced a blowout and the bumper became loose. The air bags had not deployed. Medical attention was not sought. The vehicle was towed to a dealer. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure; however, no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 36,000.

There is a clear goo dripping out of the radio screen. This radio screen controls everything in my vehicle air, heat navigation, emergency calls, etc. is safety issue as it jumps everywhere, calls 911. Changes Channels on its own turns on heat and ac on its own. This is a safely issue as it distracts me from focusing on driving. Jeep won’t replace it.

Intermittent extended crank on cold starts and developed a misfire in cylinder 3 and the developed a misfire and coolant leak in cylinder 1. The dealer told me it needs a new engine due to internal engine failure. Codes p0303 and p0300. Engine only has 62,000 on it.

The screen in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee which controls everything (radio, navigation, climate controls, etc.) is delaminating. This causes the screens to constantly change and override all driver selections. This is a significant safety concern and has become extremely distracting while driving. I am surprised that this has not been a safety recall, as there have been many class action investigations. This is a known manufacturing issue especially in the 2018 models.

Head rest deployed

I was driving down the interstate and heard a very loud pop and got smacked in the back of the head. Later inspection seems that plastic ears connected to the foam portion of my headrest broke off both sides of a horizontal pin they were connected to

The radio touch screen is delaminating causing the radio and its other features to change without warning creating a distraction for the driver. Navagation destination changes loosing route information causing the driver to slow down or stop to try to return to the selected route information. Phone calls are disconnected and the phone then indiscriminately dials a new number from the contact list. You hang up that call and the screen redials the number. This basically negates the functionality of the hands-free feature. This creates serious safety issues when the unit overrides driver choices, as it is distracting because it requires the driver to correct the changes brought on by the malfunctioning screen.

Touch screen started randomly changing radio stations, map kept popping up and it would randomly change inputs such as AM, FM, Sirius, etc.. Other pop up windows would appear such as updating clock, which it had already updated on its own and other window messages as well. Has happened 4 times.

Screen Delamination - Ghost Screen Screen randomly clicks all over. Makes ding sound. Changes navigation, songs, makes calls. Extremely dangerous

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 5-10 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact was able to drive the vehicle on the shoulder of the highway. The contact cycled the gear selector and the transmission engaged as needed. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure reoccurred. The contact stated while driving on a busy highway, the engine seized. The vehicle was restarted, and the vehicle was driven to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 96,010.

At 47,000k miles with all maintenance being done at correct intervals. From one day to the next, check engine light came on with error code p0303; Code P0303 stands for “Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected” which indicates that there have been numerous misfires in engine cylinder 3. After taking it to the Jeep dealership they told me its a cracked cylinder head. This was a fairly common issue with earlier year WK2 models, but continues to be a under-reported issue in later years.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle had failed to start. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was later able to be restarted and taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a warped head gasket and an overheated radiator. The dealer replaced the left and right cylinder heads, head gasket, timing cover gasket, valve cover gasket, cam sensor gasket, upper and lower intake gaskets, exhaust gasket, EGR, spark plugs, performed an oil change, and refilled the coolant. The contact stated that her husband, who owns another 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, had experienced the same failure, and had the vehicle repaired at the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,599.

Screen looks delaminated dials random numbers. Uconnedt no longer works nor does the radio makes for an unpleasant ride if I can go back I would’ve just gotten a Toyota Jeep always has problems I’m not the only with this issue and yet they don’t do a recall on this ridiculous

Multiple leaks found under the car and was brought in for emergency repair. One leak was the driveshaft, one was engine coolant and the other was the front steering column.

I wasn’t able to get out of park and there was a message to service shifter. It happened twice in one day and now the engine light is on.

The alternator is pulling from the battery draining it and at 9.5 volts the car will go into safety mode where it doesn’t turn off but it won’t drive neither which actually happened to me on Saturday in the middle of the street luckily no car hit mines and the police helped me move it out the road. I complained to CArMax Kearny mesa the previous Friday and instead of them putting me in a loaner car and towing the vehicle they scheduled me for an appointment Monday (today) at 9:30am and never held up their end and I’ve been carless ever since and they had my car for 6 months fixing this same problem I’m having today .

Many 2018 Grand Cherokee Radio screen are de-laminating including mine, and on it's own which is a scary distraction changes stations suddenly constantly makes a loud beeping noise through the speakers- drops and makes phone calls, changes navigation directions - prevents you from making a phone call that could be an Emergency. This should be a safety recall since it happens when you lease expect it and causes the driver to jump. And all Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealer will not cover this over a thousand dollar plus issue.

Airbag warning light came on. Took to Jeep dealership and they did diagnostic . Their finding: Code ORC-B0028-13, right side seat diployment squib 1 circuit open dx. Found wiring is not damaged in connectors . Needs new front seat passenger air bag. Car has never had front end damage.

Front passenger headrest popped out (exploded out) for no reason. I was not in an accident and nothing happened to make it pop out.

The screen is not working properly and is delaminating. This causes a distraction when trying to follow map directions, change heating settings as well as UConnect safety functions. Unsafe and accident causing

Uconnect 4c/4c 8.4 inch display screen Issues: Screen is ghost touching ,making choices on its own while driving, climate control will run haywire and do the opposite of what’s needed to defrost window and it’s can’t be stopped or cut off, unable to get heating seats off and seats heat up so much it burns legs and sacrum, unable to use back up camera, cannot access radio, navigation system, anything that’s needed that has to do with function of the vehicle that’s operated by that screen is unable to be done because it’s constantly chooses and self taps every. I have almost crashed many times due to this happening and it’s very unsafe.

I have a 2018 Jeep grand cherokee and one day it just didn't start. I had it towed to the jeep dealership and was told it was the starter. Once the job was done they service rwp said they will run a complete diagnostics on the jeep and get back to me. I got a call a few a days later saying the jeep had a blown head gasket, a leaking water pump and the coolant was leaking as well. They said the engine was a complete loss and to replace it and labor cost would be 14k. This jeep only has 40k miles on it and those are really soft miles, my wife literally works 5 minutes from our home and it's here daily driver. How is this possible, it's just plain ridiculous. Reaching out to jeep and got no help whatsoever. NEVER BUY A JEEP!

BUBBLE IN SCREEN SYSTEM ACTING FUNKY I JUST PURCHACED THE JGC ON 01/16/2024 THE NEXT DAY THE SCREEN GOES NUTS CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE GHOSTING ME VERY UNHAPPY FIRST TIME JEEP OWNER

Driving and the display screen kept switching uncontrollable and caused a safety issue while I was driving and was not in a familiar place, and was trying to use the screen for navigation directions. Concern as it was switching screens/adjusting the heat controls while I was driving. Research indicates my screen has become delaminated and a known issue with this car. Concern that while I drive this continues and may be a safety risk.

Delamination of radio is causing the radio to change radio channels, not be able to use the handless phone option or adjust heated seats. The constant beeping when the radio is constantly and randomly changing channels is a safety hazard. FCA is aware of the issue and has not issued a recall and is denying repairs for the consumers.

1. My instrument panel screen is completely non-functional due to delaminating / experiencing delamination. It is available for inspection upon request. 2. I can no longer manage the air flow in order to properly defog my windows. I was driving on a highway, the windows were fogging up, and I could not defog my windows. It was incredibly dangerous to myself and the other cars around me as I could not see them. I can also no longer make phone calls through the car as it would randomly hang up or mute the calls. 3. It is a constant problem, and has been rendered permanently disabled. 4. It has been inspected and confirmed by others, yes. 5. The screen started to bubble in one corner (now half of the screen has bubbled), and random places on the screen were being "ghost pressed" causing the instrument panel to behave sporadically and trigger all sorts of random functions. This starting happening about 4 years after purchasing it brand new from the Ramsey, NJ Jeep dealership and has progressively gotten much worse to the point of being completely unusable. Every time while I am driving it performs random actions which are incredibly distracting. Changing the radio stations, skipping songs, making random calls, cancelling / or modifying my GPS directions. It is completely possessed. At this point I leave it off most of the time, but do need to use it for certain features, but it's highly distracting and unsafe at this point.

1.At 63263 miles ADAS front Parking sensor and at 96000 miles Active park assist modules are failing with a pop up message asking for a service. The parts are working intermly but, I believe it could potentially mislead the driver when parking using Active Park assist and can cause and injury or damage if the safety system fails. It was inspected by a dealer before but exact diagonisis was not provided. 2. Air Suspension system warning came up at around 96000 miles. I immediatly took it to a dealer who charged 1800+ dollars to inspect and replaced a valve block mentioning C1556 code and said the poblem was sorted. I checked my car and the system warning still exists. They took the car immediatly and kept for 4 days and mentioned the air compressor in air suspension could be weak and over heating causing it to fail. They mentioned there were no leaks on any air bags of the suspension and quoted a 3400$ additional cost of repair. I believe the inital diagonisis was incorrect or not up to the mark (the part is available for inspection) from the dearlership as there were no clear indication of what was the root cause. This suspension failure could cause the ride height to fail any time and can cause imbalance while stopping the vehicle at higher speeds as it has an Aero mode. The air ride system is working intermily depending on the climatic conditions the components are malfunctioning which has to be addressed by the FCA group.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and turned off, the brake light remained illuminated. The contact stated the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the recall repair was completed in May of 2023 and the failure reoccurred immediately after the recall repair was completed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

I purchased a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The second I left the lot, the screen started flashing the Clock Settings screen. I researched this and it states that it's a known issue because the screen delaminates. I purchased a warranty and the company will not cover it. This is a SAFETY HAZARD. From hours of research, this issue has been known and Jeep needs to do a recall on this. If someone gets hurt pertaining to the disfunction of the screen and it's options, there will be a lawsuit and I don't think Jeep wants to deal with that. I'm trying to upload a video of what it does, but for some reason this website isn't letting me upload anything.

Hi, I’ve noticed with this Jeep and the two newer cars before it would have my dash lit up when my headlights weren’t on. This is giving me and other drivers of these cars the false impression that my headlights must be on. So many folks are driving with either just fog lights or no lights at all because their dash is lit up. Before this technology your dash would be dim and that way you knew you needed to turn your headlights on. This is becoming so common I see 1-2 every day home from work. Before this new technology it was maybe 1 a year. Please research or ask around about this since there doesn’t seem to be regulation around it. Thanks very much!

With less than 40k miles on my vehicle the leather dash on my Jeep has begun to delaminate. I'm concerned for the way this will impact the front passenger airbag to deploy in the event of a collision. Additionally this causes a viability issue due to the glare at certain times of the day when the sun is shining through the windshield and onto the dash.

UConnect navigation system shows current location as West Virginia but vehicle is in Missouri. If attempted to use or refer to onboard compass associated with system would result in significant driving direction/location mis-information. Software is current up to date for system; system is currently inoperable in this condition. Prior to this however navigation and compass were working correctly. Review of numerous Jeep online forums shows this navigation system failure to be quite common and likely requires complete radio/information system replacement. Why has no recall been issued?

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that after turning the vehicle off, the brake lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the Hydraulic Control Unit was faulty and needed to be reprogramed. The Hydraulic Control Unit was reprogrammed under NHTSA Campaign: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) but the failure persisted. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

The head gasket gets blown with 50,000 miles for the 2018 grand jeep Cherokee high altitude. Went to jeep dealership in Downey and they said they knew it would be the head gasket they had other jeeps in the shop with that same problem, but wanted to charge 5000 just to confirm. So then we went to a mechanic in Los Angeles and they had 5 other 2018 jeeps in the shop with the same problem. The 2018 jeep grand Cherokee 3.6L is having so many problems with the head gasket at such low miles this needs to be recalled! How is it a good supposedly reliable car is breaking down so early. This is a SAFETY ISSUE IT can cause a fire !!!!

My touchscreen is delaminating. I can't use the radio, the Navigation system or interior climate control system. If the radio is turned on, it jumps from station to station, the phone system has called 911 several times, and dials random numbers from my contact list. This is a safety hazard because of the random dialing and distraction it causes. This condition is only happening on this model year. The product is defective and dangerous. I have owned 5 Jeeps in a row and never had this problem with the radio or touch screen.

The contact's daughter owns a 2018 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, her daughter closed the driver's door and the passenger's side frontal air bag deployed inadvertently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag needed to be replaced due to the rollover sensor being alerted. The contact stated that the vehicle was not in an accident. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The uConnected display screen mal-functions to the point of being a dangerous distraction. Phantom jumping between radio stations, switching from AC to heat etc, changes other controls and will not allow use of touch systems. The screen shows obvious signs of de-lamination. I noted that many others are have the same issue with their uConnect displays. Super dangerous. Dealer' CSR said "Sorry, not their problem. Said it must've gotten wet". Since then I have learned this is a common problem with all Jeeps of this era. Mine is a 2018. Is there anything NHTSA is doing to recall these? It's dangerous and we have stopped driving unless absolutely necessary.

The display screen in the center of the dashboard is delaminating. This is very dangerous becasue it randomly changes all the settings constantly. heat on/off, radio on/off anything that has a touch button on the screen (which is just about everything for that car) can randomly change at any time. It is getting worse as time goes on. This is a safety issue. When looking online I see this is very common for 2018 Jeeps, but is not a recall. It is a safety issue and should be a recall it is happening to so many 2018 Jeeps.

My UConnect radio has been malfunctioning for a few months now. I've seen this on Jeep forums being a major issue with 2018 jeeps. My radio stations would randomly change while driving. The volume know would stop working, my Navigation stopped working and would place my location in a completely different state. Last week, while driving my UConnect would randomly turn on the AC and then switch to heat and then turn it off, and then switch between modules. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, I was driving my parents to the airport using the GPS on my phone but connecting it to Apple Car Play so that I could still see the navigation on the UConnect Screen. While driving and coming up to multiple lanes in which their were different highways to take, my Uconnect starts going haywire. It was completely nervewracking and was super distracting. My parents were in the car and were very frightened as I wasn't sure which lane I was supposed to be in and where to go. I had to grab my phone, unlcock it and look at my phone. Very dangerous! Then the other night as I was driving on the highway, I had my Front and Rear Defroster on as the weather called for this and all of sudden, the defroster shuts off and the AC (Max AC) comes on at full blast. My front windshield fogged up super quickly. I turned on my wipers and literally starting moving lanes to the right lane as I was frantically pushing the controls to get it back to defrost. I could have died by going off the road as I could not see where I was going or if there were any cars! Thankfully, I rolled down the windows, slowed down and found the breakdown line by hearing the safety strip under my tires. I put on my hazards and prayed. I know I need a new UConnect, but all the dealers want to charge me $170 or more just to diagnose the vehicle. I don't want it diagnosed..I want it fixed. And this should not be my responsibility to fix something that is a huge safety concern. Please contact me ASAP.

All three brake lights stayed illuminated during car operation regardless of brake pedal pressed. I was able to shift and start my car without pressing the brake putting my family and other pedestrians at risk of being run over if the car shifted out of park unexpectedly. Also no warning lights were on at all, so I drove on the road with my brake lights illuminated increasing risk for injury or death in a crash. It turns out the part is a hydraulic control unit. It was reading 120psi when the pedal wasn’t even pressed. This was replaced by an independent shop and fixed the issue. I found out that there was a recall done on 2011-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokees. This recall was “Equipment Safety Recall 21A NHTSA 23E-019”. This recall calls out this exact problem for our exact model and the exact part replaced. My vehicle did not qualify for this recall for some reason which does not make sense because of the following information. The Julian date range for the failed part is 8166-9106. The part pulled out of my vehicle has a Julian date of 8228. I am more than willing to provide photos and any documentation showing this repairs high cost and that it was done. There needs to be another recall with these cars to include mine and many others as this issue could cause death of unsuspecting people around the vehicle. It’s ridiculous that my vehicle did not qualify for this recall when I have an obviously failed part that FCA knows about but refuses to fix or reimburse me for. Please investigate this and enact a recall to fix a problem that was bad enough to be recalled once for another batch of cars. There are other cars out there that could cause death or serious injury.

I was just driving down the freeway and out of nowhere. My jeep started calling and hanging up and recalling everybody in my frequently called list. I tried turning off the screen, but it turned itself back on and started doing it again. Everybody who I just called over and over unintentionally. We’re trying to call me back, but it would hang up on them. It was as if a ghost was in my screen. I have not had this looked at by the dealership, but upon researching the issue it appears this is a common problem in the 2018 jeep grand Cherokee. My hands are still shaking from the incident as it was extremely unsafe and distracting. It all startled me so bad I almost drove off the road. It would’ve been one thing if I could’ve just turned it off, but the fact that I kept turning itself back on, is very disconcerting. I tried turning white screen. It was on to the radio, and then it kept changing stations on its own rapidly and repeatedly.

passenger front headrest basically seemed to explode for no reason. Like a jack in the box. Like it sprung forward. Now you can see the insides and broken plastic pieces inside.

Uconnect screen started to delaminate causing phantom touches. Poses a danger and safety risk to driver and passengers. “screen off” button does not work since it’s registering touch. This also causes inability to control safety features.

The monitor/screen is delaminating. This is causing the screen to go haywire. It asks me if I want to adjust my clock setting every couple seconds which makes using the screen for anything else impossible; at times I can't adjust my heat, use the navigation system, etc. This is a known issue per numerous Jeep forums I've visited where hundreds of people are having the same issue with a defective screen on the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees, but Jeep still hasn't done a recall.

Dash cover separating/bubbling from dash panel as if the adhesive under cover is releasing. My bigger concern is if the airbag had to deploy it would take/pull the entire cover of the dash instead of blowing out from its designed location possibly hindering the airbags effectiveness and safety. I know a similar recall has been issued in the past on previous model years that was a concern for this very thing.

The bolt that holds the liftgate motor on top snapped in half with trying to open. I used the button on the remote to open the lift gate. I heard a loud pop noise as it was trying to open then when I finally got it open I noticed the bolt was snapped in half. Luckily the bolt broke going up not down. If it had broken going down it could have landed on my head or one of my kids. I have reported it to the jeep dealership where I purchased my vehicle from a little over a year ago. There was no warnings prior to opening the hatch. I did some research to see if this has happen to other people and it has. Some people where not as lucky as me and had it fall on there head. The website i found this at was [XXX] and then found out the dodge durango has the same issue and the website for that is [XXX] I really hope this gets fixed and recalled before people start getting injured. It is such a small bolt for a heavy door. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My touchscreen has started to do "ghost touching" causing a disturbance to my driving because of being distracted. It will change the screen at any time causing a distraction it is available to be looked at at any time

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Radio screen delamination, causing heating/defrost/seats/clock reset/radio channels cycling quickly, lack of navigation on screen. Very distracting when traveling/trying to reach the hospitals. At first it was very distracting while traveling, and didn't allow me to use any features/controls, and could've easily took my eyes off the road and have an accident. I can't use the radio when I need to, for certain situations, not just entertainment but location as I travel with work at times, and my wife and I both frequent hospitals with my heart issues and her lower GI issues. It just started appearing late in July 2023 and you can see something under the radio screen as if its a sticker/protective cover on the radio and it looks like its separating from the inside. I have it going into the shop for diagnosis 11/29/2023 but it is continually getting worse to where I can't use the radio/nav/comfort features at all and need to for our safety/travel, and winter is rapidly approaching.

Hello, There is a few things going on with this vehicle, this is a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 27k miles. Uploading recalls on this vehicle. 1. It has a fuel leak, this is a vehicle that does not have a gas cap, it has been fully diagnosed by the dealer, they want to charge $900.00 to repair plus a $250.00 diagnostic fee. 2. Car would not move, stopped abruptly, had to turn car on and off while in traffic in order to get car going, almost causing an accident. 3. Car will tell you its about to hit another car when it's not and will turn on and off while driving, almost causing an accident. Dealer does not want to take a look at the car unless you pay them $250.00, want to keep the car for a week and does not want to provide a car rental while car is under their diagnostic phase. Dealer assessing the car is Kendall Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram at 13355 SW 137th Ave, Miami, FL 33186, spoke to Lazaro Varas, assistant service manager. Please guide me on what to do, thank you.

Touchscreen is delaminating and changing settings on its own calling people etc and it's so frequent and moving around so fast that it's a safety hazard when I drive... its constant and erratic and getting worse and worse

There is a known screen delamination issue with the screens on this vehicle. It is a major safety issue since it will be randomly turning on and off devices as you are trying to drive the vehicle. This is a major distraction and there is no way to turn off the system

My Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit was purchased new in 2018. I am the only owner and primary driver. In early 2020 I noticed some bubbling with the leather of the dashboard. It continued to bubble up a little at a time until today, November 7, 2023 it is so bubbled up that the delaminated leather blocks the air vent that defrosts my windsheild; blocks completely any possibility of warm air reaching the windshield wipers. In freezing weather conditions this becomes very dangerous. I was driving in a blizzard down the freeway with very low visibility. The only way I could see anything was to have the wipers going at full speed. Because they were not receiving any warm air from the defrost vents they froze up in the closed position and would not move. Due to freeway traffic and conditions I could not pull over but I could not see. I nearly rear ended a vehicle in front of me and could not see to trade lanes and try to pull off. I was able to roll down my window, grab and flip the wiper to get it moving WHILE DRIVING. My front passenger was able to do the same and we continued to drive this way with our windows down until we could pull off. Other drivers with functioning dashboards where the warm air was reaching the wiper area as intended were not having the same problem I was. The delaminated leather is also a problem because my windshield will not defog on the lower half and visibility can be very poor. This may not be as big a hazard but still is a hazard because of the reduced visibility.

The Uconnect screen is delaminating and malfunctioning. I am unable to control what the screen randomly touches which includes controlling the temperature in the car. I am not able to properly set the temperature and direction of the heat to defog my windshield while driving. It creates a hazard while driving when my windows fog up and I can't see while driving on the expressway going 50mph.

2018 Grand Cherokee....As you are aware of this already, the radio screen started delaminating and now the crystals are leaking out of he bottom of the screen. This in turn causes all the systems to go off and on at random, that can be controlled by the screen. All safety functions are now disabled due to this problem. Several attempts were made to contact the dealership and jeep customer care, only to be told that here is nothing they can do and to buy a new one. They also said there was no guarantee that the new radio wouldn't do the same thing. This is a top of the line high altitude grand cherokee that now doesn't have any of the safety features and comforts that i paid top dollar for. Jeep should honor their quality control issues but have been blowing everyone off. I have been on many forums and they are having the same issue. I got your website from one of the forums and can't believe that is has been a long time since they posted and you couldn't do anything about it so far. Thanks for listening, [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The screen is delaminating a little bit not long after I bought the car. Now the delamination came down to the radio button. There is a “ghost button” which makes the screen jump from the radio to the map nonstop. It is impossible to use the map even map from car play . It is very dangerous to drive on highway.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 75 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V524000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

The UConnect touchscreen on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee has experienced delaminating and I currently experience phantom touches on the screen (I don't touch the screen but selections are randomly made). These phantom touches are a serious distraction to a driver and they happen frequently. Given all of the controls for the automobile that can be made from the screen, it is a serious safety issues to drivers of these vehicles with this issue as well as others on the road. I have read on numerous online forums that there have been many others that have or are currently experiencing this problem. I believe the auto maker should have these vehicles recalled and appropriately fixed. Please look into this issue ASAP before someone is hurt by the automaker's inaction. I'd be happy to answer any questions that you might have about this problem.

The Uconnect (screen with radio/nav/driver control) is "delaminating". Which means the one screen layer is separating from another layer. This causes the screen to change randomly. With the Uconnect on, I can expect the radio to change stations, AC/Heat to change temperatyre/speed and basically anything that the Uconnect controls. It all depends on what part of the screen is effected that particular day. It's a huge distraction and no way to eliminate using the Uconnect since it control some of the basic car functions. I am unawar of a fix o this problem.

Variable valve lift solenoid failing

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 5 MPH and turning into a parking lot, the front driver’s side head rest deployed without impact. The contact was struck on the back of the head but reported no injuries. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The Navigation/heat control/radio and other electronic controls fail to work on the display. This failure disrupts the driver during operation and is a serious safety issue!

My radio keeps going in and out. Making it hard to use my rear view camera or manage controls for heating and cooling. I have tried resetting with no luck. It is a big distraction while driving.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while parked, the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where the TIPM and PCM needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 119,229.

Backup camera remains on while driving. I am unable to use any other features on the screen.

Have a 2018 jeep grand Cherokee that audio and, computer control screen is delaminating, causing erratic behavior of the stereo and other random controls like the heated seats turning on and off caused by the delamination of the screen shortly out of the manufacturer warranty of 36,000 miles and I took it to the dealership and they told me it was not covered under warranty and that I would have to pay for a new computer controlled screen I feel this is a safety concern because it can cause distracted driving

When refueling the vehicle, the fuel pump handle must be inverted in order to deliver gas. Without such upside down delivery. the pump shuts off.. The Inverted handle delivery creates a health and safety issue as gas can easily overflow the tank fuel filler tube. My wife just spent three days in the hospital after being bathed in gas, and now has heart and vision issues as a result. Jeep has a history of gas filler tube issues. Numerous Internet blogs report the same issue.

We bought this vehicle brand new in 2018, since then it has had an entire new engine, numerous check engine lights and safety recalls. There are now 2 recalls that pose a risk for my family and I with no solutions provided. Chrystler refused to buy back the vehicle or provide us with a loaner while a solution is not available. This type of business is not right. I’m left with an unsafe vehicle.

I am writing to report a concerning issue related to the water pump in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Recently, I discovered a significant coolant leak originating from the water pump, which has raised concerns about the safety and reliability of my vehicle. I would like to bring this matter to your attention for investigation and potential action. While this issue may be isolated to my vehicle, I believe it's crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of all 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. I have taken my vehicle to an auto repair shop for repairs, and they confirmed the water pump leak. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, and I hope that by reporting this issue, we can contribute to the overall safety and quality of vehicles on the road. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers.

Component: Active headrest suddenly exploded and hit my head pilot seat while driving in a highway at 55 MPH, the head restraints inadvertently deploy without crash impacts. Safety: I was driving with my wife and my kid 6 years old, when the headrest exploded I lost control of the vehicle for second, lucky they were not cars close to me. Dealer: I went to the dealer, and they check the part and they explained that it has to be replaced for a new one and that I need to pay around $800. Inspected: I called JEEP/FCA number they gave me a case number never called me back and then I called them again after 4 days and they said even 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee have this problem, my VIN number is not cover with their warranty. Warnings: Zero warnings, no lamps, messages, sounds, etc...

The screen on the UConnect system in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee recently started delaminating. More recently, it has started to randomly change radio stations or make other "phantom" changes while I'm driving without me touching anything. This is clearly a safety issue as it is very distracting while I'm driving. After extensive research online it appears that this is a very common issue with vehicles like mine and Jeep hasn't done anything to help owners get this issue fixed. I keep my car in great shape so there hasn't been any user damage.

U connect touch screen delaminating screen. Causes several distractions while driving. Moreover, It controls heating and defrost system which controls and severely impacts driver visibility in certain driving conditions. Especially during rain, snow very hot and cold weather conditions. It’s a fact that we can’t control the elements. As well the backup camera is affected by disabling backup alerts. It’s over $1k to repair and not covered under warranty. This is a common problem for the make and model vehicle and there are several forums inquiring about the same issues. Statistically this is a problem that’s deserves immediate attention. shortly after my purchase we experienced a pandemic that caused a financial strain. It’s unreasonable for the maker to put the burden on consumers. When they choose produce a products that’s effects the well being of there customers. This is the 4th Jeep I’ve purchased I have never dealt with this until now. so why would they change the vendor unless it was minimizing manufacturing cost making this an ethical issue as well

SUV. Stall out no power to gas Padel SUV won't turn off the park light blinking, and won't go in neutral. I have to wait 15 before I can start it back up an drive

Entire front leather dash has delaminated and separated by bubbling up from the original glue not holding. Also, the exhaust resonators (both sides) on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is bad on both sides and blowing out fiberglass from my exhaust pipes all over the backside of my car. I’ve read on multiple forms that several customers have encountered the exact same issues on their Jeeps as well. Is this issue being addressed and covered by the manufacture? If so, I definitely would like this to be taken care of.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) and 23V411000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

While driving in town my passenger side seat headrest exploded suddenly making a very loud noise causing me to think something had hit my vehicle which caused me to swerve in traffic.

THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE (INTERMITANT PROBLEM) AT TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE GEAR SHIFT CONSOLE AND DASH WILL FLASH AND THE VEHICLE IS RENDRED USELESS. I HAVE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. TEMPORARY FIX. IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES (DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR). NOONE KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NO CODES ARE THROWN. JEEP HAS BEEN CONTACTED. SEVERAL FORUMS I HAVE LOOKED AT ONLINE STATE THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE PROBLEM IS SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. WHEN IT LEAVES ME STRANDED IN AN INTERSECTION, WHICH IT DID, I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM. A RESOLUTION HAS TO BE FOUND. ITS NOT ALLOWING ME TO UPLOAD VIDEO. I DO HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ADJUSTER OF MY EXTENDED WARRENTY COMPANY.

The U CONNECT screen is de-laminating and this is leading to ghost presses on the screen. If my phone is connected, it will start randomly calling people. The entertainment system will change inputs, stations or tracks at random - allowing up to 4 seconds before switching. The automatic climate control will change fan speeds and function constantly. The GPS navigation screen will not stay up and tries to reroute while driving or switch to another function. This is not just an glitch every once in a while, this is constant change - I have a 20 second video showing the screen changing to the climate controls, turning off the auto function, change fan speeds 4 times, change the vents being used then going back to auto and then changing the screen to the media screen and then putting the time change up. My kids are saying the car is possessed. This behavior is very distracting to the driver and is a hazard. Other safety issues include not being able to use navigation to get to an unknown location and not being to use hands free calling. Does not matter if the car is moving or stationary.

UConnect screen delaminating, changing setting, turning on/off heat, ac, temps, seat warmers, making calls, changing radio stations, all while driving. Unable to use any bluetooth features. All the jumping around on the screen and adjustments while driving is a HUGE distraction and safety concern for distracted driving. Dealers will not replace without charging at minimum $2000, and replacement option is ordering the same unit again, which will eventually have the exact same issues, so not a feasible long term fix.

Infortament system delamination and ghost touching of the Navigation screen could distract drivers which directly related to driving safety.

The control center of the vehicle (radio) comes on and makes calls and also turns on equipment in the vehicle that distracts the driver from driving. If you power it off it will come back on. It controls your phone and navigation and all climate controls in vehicle. Jeep is aware of the problem but will not do anything to fix it. We tell people not to text and drive and this vechicle does it without you knowing which causes eyes to go off the road. We have already experienced a close call with the distracting of a driver

I have had 2 safety recalls open on my Jeep without remedy for over a year. FCA has failed to do anything putting me and my family at risk.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the engine revved but the vehicle hesitated while accelerating. However, the contact stated that the vehicle accelerated after removing the foot off the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the Service Electronic Stabili-trak warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer determined that the traction control sensor needed to be replaced. The sensor was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and determined that the part for the repair needed to be ordered. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

When I turn the vehicle on 'start' and change the gear from P to D in order to start driving, I get a warning sign that says "Shift to P then Desired Gear". I have to follow the sign direction several times back and forth and also turning the engine off and starting on again until it engage to gear followed with a big transmission bump. i just made an appointment at a dealership for an inspection. Others Jeep Grand Cherokee have indicate the same situation....

Auto start/stop turns car off completely, requiring putting the car in park and manually restarting the car. Causing a possible rear end collision at traffic light.

The leather is pulling loose on dash. It is bubbled up from passenger side starting over into drivers side

The "UCONNECT" touch screen infotainment system is delaminating which causes rapid and continuous "ghost" touches. This is extremely distracting and unnerving. This will occur on any screen. Radio, navigation, climate control, sos, etc. are all affected by this. When this occurs it is very difficult to concentrate on driving due to the rapid succesion of ghost touches.

The radio screen is de-laminating, causing the radio to go haywire with constant ghost-touching. The radio screen controls most of the car, so besides the non-stop beeping being very distracting, it is giving dangerous commands to my car. It makes unwanted phone calls, including to SOS. It turns on the backup camera when I am on the interstate. It continues to beep when I am in reverse so I cannot hear the beeps from the collision warning system. It turns on the seat warmers when it's already >100 degrees outside. It does not allow me to see the suspension settings and data when I am in 4WD. It turns on Navigation I do not want and does not allow me to use Navigation maps that I need. It turn the radio on full blast while continuously changing stations. I cannot turn off the radio screen and the perpetual chaos it causes because a single ghost touch immediately turns it back on. It is ghost touched approximately every 1-2 seconds. It is very distracting, chaotic, and hazardous to drive with this happening. I paid a Jeep dealer for a Diagnostic test that confirmed the issue is caused by de-lamination. Both Jeep and the dealer refused to replace cover the costs of repair. There were no warnings before the radio screen began de-laminating and the ghost touching started in December 2022. It is has slowly gotten worse each month since then.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V411000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. An undisclosed dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The screen has been doing phantom touches most likely due to the bubble forming under the top layer (currently getting it diagnosed for delamination). This is a safety risk due to the distraction from the changes on the screen and the fact that it will cause me to look at the screen and not at the road. The radio, phone and also GPS all are affected currently. I am not able to use handsfree for my phone and the GPS is not usable as well. Like I said, the vehicle currently has an appointment set up to be diagnosed so it can be submitted to UConnect. There is no warning messages for this.

Air conditioner is blowing only hot air. My car is 5 years old with 24,000 miles and i have Already paid to refill my 1234 refrigerant and within a couple months it's blowing hot air again. Now i am being quoted $1200 plus dollars to fix a leak.

EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION. The lamination on the monitor is peeling/cracking and obscuring the information shown on the electronic read out. For functions such as GPS, this is very dangerous. I spend more valuable seconds trying to read the monitor (eyes off the road) in trying to understand and read the data. Luckily, I haven't had any incidents, but I would guess there have been multiple accidents caused by this very fixable condition in most Jeep's of this vintage. I implore you to initiate a recall ASAP.

I was driving on the highway today and my driver side active headrest popped open for no reason forcing my head into a very awkward position. I had to immediately exit to a gas station to adjust my seat because I felt very unsafe.

My uConnect touchscreen started delaminating since end of year 2022. It has gotten worse where it interrupts my driving most of the time. Due to the screen delimitation, the radio irregularly switches the channels itself every 1 to 2 seconds; the AC/heat screen attempts switch the setting to front windshield or other air settings to a maximum airflow; the main setting screens attempts to call 911 emergency during many of my driving events; it attempts to change my clock settings…etc. Most of the interior settings are in the uConnect touch screen pages, no way I could get my settings stay AS IS from the denomination. It is nearly impossible for the drivers to concentrate during their driving from this irregular activity. I have contacted FCA and Jeep dealership but I have not gotten any resolution to resolve the issue. I have searched the sites for the issue and most of the 2018 Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram owners seems to have the same issue. However, the dealership is not taking the issue seriously. The irregular radio interruption is very dangerous to the drivers and I believe it should be a recall. (I wish I can upload a video to show the uConnect self irregular settings)

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The computer screen (radio, climate control, back up camera, etc.) The screen has a mind of its own. It will go on and off by itself all the time. It changes the radio stations and climate control by itself. The back up camera will be on and then as we are baking up it goes out, or won't work at all. Its very dangerous and distracting for the driver. In contacting Jeep, they will not cover the cost to repair or replace. We even purchased an extended Certified Added Care Warranty when we purchased the Jeep and they won't cover it either.

Infotainment center has bubble in screen that causes "ghost presses" on screen. Will change screens and turn on seat heaters and other car functions during driving.

The radio, GPS, back up camera, front brake warning, heat, air conditioning seat warmer continue to cycle through while driver. All systems light up and set off driver warnings. Compass and map shift and change direction. Constant beeping and alerts. Causing driver distractions and Almost crashed and rear-ended on several occasions.

UCONNECT - touchscreen digitizer is delaminating from screen. Causes phantom touches on the screen, including random calls and changing directions. Rear backup camera is also inaccessible. Very distracting and potentially dangerous.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in a parking lot, the vehicle inadvertently rolled forward, hitting a concrete parking block, which damaged the front bumper. No injury was sustained. No police report was filed. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available. The dealer referred the contact to the manufacturer. Premier Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat (13000 I-10 Service Rd, New Orleans, LA 70128) was also made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

The stop/start feature on my Jeep has just stopped working. The battery has been checked and rechecked and replaced. It doesn't work. The biggest problem now is the 8.4 touchscreen display that malfunctions. The GPS is connected to this along with the radio and backup camera. Other features include the phone, climate control, and other functions. The phone will randomly select contacts I am not trying to call, and the GPS will randomly set locations I am not trying to go. The screen will jump from one application to another which is extremely distracting while driving. I've tried turning the screen off completely but this isn't helpful if I'm actually using my navigation. It's dangerous.

The information center/dashboard radio is malfunctioning in that it switches between stations, apps, randomly calls people, the backup camera no longer shows consistently, or sometimes does not turn on at all. When using maps, it causes a danger as it does not show turns and is constantly changing screens. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This is distracting and makes hands free calling impossible due to the fact that it will hang up, put on hold, or call 911. This is a known problem for 2018 Jeep grand Cherokee. There were no warning signs and the issues started happening out of nowhere. This malfunction poses a big safety threat due to the distractions, and misdirection the system is now causing.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the stability control warning light remained illuminated. The contact stated that the braking system malfunctioned, causing an extended stopping distance. The contact stated that occasionally the brakes failed to respond while reversing. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who reprogrammed the brake module, but the warning light remained illuminated. The contact was informed that the hydraulic control unit was faulty but was not covered under the Manufacturer Service Campaign. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 100,000.

Screen started to delaminate two years ago. Slowly started glitching. It now glitches constantly while driving. It randomly turns on and off, calls people, turns seat heaters on and off, changes channel, turns back up camera on and off etc. This is a major safety concern while driving. When I researched this online it appears to be a very widespread issue for all 2018 Jeeps. I have also had to replace my headlights 3 times in the last 1 1/2 years. I feel there is a correlation. I don't understand why Jeep is not recalling this issue.

Auxiliary battery which manages auto start/stop fails. First time battery was tested and replaced under warranty. Failed again two years later - out of warranty. Unsure about risk but depending on who you ask, the failed auxiliary battery can be a parasite to the main battery, leading to potential breakdown. Also misleading fuel consumption numbers due to auto start/stop not functioning

UConnect Screen delamination - cannot adjust vehicle controls since most are managed through UConnect screen. Dangerous situation. Appears Jeep FCA has an issue with 2018 UConnect screen delamination due to bad adhesive making the screen non functional - Jeep is not responsive

Starting around February 23 after about 10 minutes into driving. The hot temperature lamp would show up . I pull over an it was always empty of coolant I had done that few times within one week. I also didn’t use air conditioning for a few weeks left . An it was ok for few weeks. Then I noticed smoke coming out back pipes . Send to first reipair shop. They found Coolant in a combustion chamber They told me I should send to Jeep shop .

Infotainment Center randomly changes modes, unable to use Bluetooth as it will call 911 or contacts. This presents a safety issue due to inability to have hands free capabilities. Navigation system is inoperable as changes screens, loses destination. Climate control turns items off and on without me selecting any feature. Screens flip around without my interaction. Started when had around 40k miles on vehicle. Overall malfunction of entire system.

The radio acts like someone is constantly touching it; I can't access any controls on the touchscreen, which can be dangerous while you are trying to drive. I know I'm not the only person who has this problem.

Communication screen has delaminated causing ghost touching. While driving the radio randomly changes, the phone will dial, the hvac controls will start switching, etc. without anyone touching the screen. This is distracting and dangerous. At night the screen will change dimness and brightness. I have no control over it and there’s nothing to be done to stop it.

I have two Jeep Grand Cherokees ([XXX] and [XXX]) with the leather wrapped dash. Like many others, the leather is peeling up and wrinkling, raising into the field of view of the windshield and I’m also concerned with how this might affect air bag deployment on the passenger side of the vehicle. I know of at least 15 others online experiencing this issue and they get the same run around from Jeep. The dealer looks at it with a $130 diagnostic fee, then tell you it’s not covered. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The navigation display in my jeep is starting to delaminate which is cause ghost touches and the screen will change on its own, mess with settings and it can cause serious safety issues and is distracting to the driver. This should be a recall and not the driver’s responsibility to fix.

The lcd screen is basically coming apart and there should be a recall as this is a known issue yet it’s going to cost me hundreds of dollars to fix since the car is not under warranty. It’s been messed up since the month after I bought it from carmax in Wichita, ks and they refused to cover it since there was no recall. The buttons go crazy and click random stuff and it looks as if there is liquid in between the screen.

2 Issue Related to Electrical/Lights: 1) The touch screen has delaminated. This started a while ago (appx. 2020) and was only an aesthetic issue until very recently. Appx. 3 months ago (3/2023) the screen started to have a "ghost button" where different things were being pressed. For example, music changed, seat warmers turned on/off, etc. The most dangerous of these issues was a dark screen turning bright, which can be blinding at night. Definitely a safety issue since some of the essential controls of the car are done here. 2) The "auto" high beams have stopped working (appx. 5/2023). They turn on when held with the "flashing" method, but when put into auto (where they stay on) they do not work. Certainly a safety concern.

I attempted SEVERAL times to have the Stellantis/Chrysler/Jeep 'Z46 - High-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure' recall repair performed on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Platinum 4X4 EcoDiesel. The 'Z46' recall was issued in JUN 2022. Yet over ONE YEAR LATER each time I inquire about performing this recall repair the Jeep dealer advises that "there are no parts available to perform the recall repair". I submitted a complaint to Stellantis/Chrysler/Jeep Customer Assistance and asked that the problem be escalated. I received no response or further follow up to that complaint submission. I need to sell the vehicle in the next 30 days but cannot sell the vehicle due to the open Z46 recall. I am suffering economic injury as a result of the Jeep dealer's inability to perform the Stellantis/Chrysler/Jeep 'Z46' recall repair.

My console is controlling itself and its causes risks while driving. The heated seats go by themselves and won’t go off. Causing the inability to drive it in the summer since it’s so hot. It self changes temperature, terrain, media, navigation settings on its own and i can’t stop it. This is a serious issue and a defect in wiring . There should be a recall issued to fix this issue. I’ve read several complaints for this exact issue.

The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

My radio touchscreen will do things on its own, it will adjust my heating and cooling, my setting, flip from radio, Bluetooth, usb. Call people and just like freak out. And i have no control over it and it wont stop. I have only had my car since February and it also only has 50,000 miles on it

Car caught on fire while engine was off

Display screen has been bubbling since I purchased in 2021. Now recently while driving display presses buttons on screen while driving without any physical contact. Calls random people from phone without touching it. Impacting ability to use navigation safely, constantly having to switch screens back. Also, at times blue screen appears, and sometimes rear camera view stays on screen while driving.

The active head restraint deployed on its own as I was preparing to start the vehicle (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee). Fortunately, I was not driving the vehicle when the headrest bursted and hit me in the back of my head. The NHTSA site identifies this problem associated with 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees, but my VIN is not included with this defect for some reason.

Oil filter adapter leaking

While driving the vehicle it shut off and would not start unless the vehicle was jumped. This happened twice in the middle of the highway, extremely dangerous my children were in the vehicle and other vehicles had to swerve to avoid contact with my vehicle. I took the vehicle back to the dealer that i purchased the vehicle from and they could not figure out the issue. My vehicle is currently with another independent dealer, i changed both batteries, i changed the alternator, checked all of the fuses and checked the relay switches and the vehicle still will not start without a jump and it will only run for a day without needing a jump. No warnings, it just happened.

The maker of my vehicle cannot solve an open recall on a timely manner. An existing open safety recall is registered to my vehicle for about 1 year and due to this recall I am currently exposed to a safety issue as well as lost of income as this vehicle is used for Business Purpose.

UConnect 8.4 touchscreen just started going crazy like someone was constantly pressing multiple buttons without stopping. Makes it totally unusable. Distracting driver.

Communication screen started to delaminate and causes ghost touching. I can be driving along and the radio plays or changes stations, it has dialed contacts, etc. Without me touching the screen. When it happens it requires special attention such as trying to cancel a call being made or turning off the radio.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that she noticed a burning odor while operating the heating system. The contact then stated that she noticed smoke coming through the vent. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that she was concerned for her safety. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where no failure could be determined. The dealer nor the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

8.4” unconnect touch screen radio is bubbling. This bubbling causes the touch screen to select randomly. It will change climate control setting, screen settings, turn the radio on, turn seat heaters on, manipulate the navigation system. This becomes a large distraction while on the road and is extremely dangerous. This is a known issue with these radios in several Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler/Ram models. We have taken the vehicle to the dealer and asked for this safety issue to be addressed. They have responded that we are responsible to fix at our own cost.

The radio had delaminated causing my radio to start switching stations randomly, rendering my dashboard useless- no phone, no navigation, unable to adjust heat, indoor cabin temperature, or hear radio.

THE WORSE THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IS I STARTED MY CAR WITH MY GRANDBABY IN HER CARSEAT, I HOPPED OUT TO LOCK MY HOUSE DOOR AND THE CAR WENT INTO REVERSE AND RAN INTO BARBWIRE FENCE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES MY CAR HAS SLAMMED ON THE BRACKS WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY BARLEY MOVING IT ALMOST GAVE ME WHIPLASH. MY RADIO JUMPS AROUND CHANNELS, I HAVE REPORTED IN THE PAST BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND STARTED TURNING ON THE HEATER ON HIGH AND I CANT STOP IT.

My communication screen started to delaminate and causes ghost touching. I can be driving along and the radio plays or changes stations, it has dialed contacts, etc. without me touching the screen. When it happens it requires special attention such as trying to cancel a call being made or turning off the radio. Online searches seem to indicate this is a common issue with Jeeps and Chrysler products around the model year 2018. Naturally, the car company is hands off but my research suggested informing NHTSA as you may want to monitor how often this happens. Thank you.

The uconnect system has been malfunctioning. The uconnect system has all functions for radio, climate control, system functions, Phone, backup camera, gps, etc. the system started randomly making phone calls, switching radio channels, wanting to connect or disconnect devices, displaying the rear view camera and gps screen jumping around giving misleading directions all occurring while driving. We took the car in to see if it can be fixed. Jeep dealer advised a new system was needs at a cost of $1500. Jeep is unwilling to correct the condition without replacing the unit but there is no guaranty the issue won’t reappear. Most recently there was a software push that will not load due the internal system error. Creating another distraction with a recurring error code popping up due to update failure.

I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Edition. The laminate is coming away from the radio screen and it keeps showing an "adjust clock message" and "morse code" like beeping. It is a complete distraction. Due to the laminate coming away from the screen the unit starts overriding the driver choices, like the handsfree features, radio, heated seats, etc. This is a safety issue with the car controlling things the driver should be. It's been going on now for a month.

The LG Screen in the dashboard is delaminating and causing the radio and various bluetooth functions to go haywire. The radio stations change and dance across the screen, the temperature in the car changes without my touching it, and phone calls are initiated totally on their own without my involvement. This is highly distracting while driving. I'm told by the dealership who services my vehicle that the screen plus the electronic components all have to be replaced to the cost of over $1,000 and that it is not covered under the 100,000 mile warranty I have on the vehicle. I've researched this problem online and have discovered that many cars/SUVs have this issue and apparently it is due to a faulty LG screen. I found this in chat groups and have not independently verified it. I am writing to your administration to request you look into this issue and if it is as widespread as it appears to be, I think you should consider the safety aspects of the distraction this causes and recall the LG screen and associated components.

Control screen is delaminating causing ghost controls and making it impossible to adjust or turn on/off climate controls- AC, heating, dehumidifier… making it UNSAFE to drive. In addition radio stations jump from one to another - a mere distraction in comparison to the climate control problems Please recall !!

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer due to the ABS warning light being illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to receive the recall repair under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact noticed that the recall stated that the repair would take 30 or more minutes however, the dealer completed the repair within 10 minutes. The failure persisted the gear shifter failed to display the correct gear that the vehicle had been shifted into. Additionally, the fuel level indicator failed to provide the correct fuel level in the vehicle. The contact also stated that the windshield wipers would activate independently on occasions. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the hydraulic control unit and ABS needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.

The uconnect screen started to delaminate, causing the screen to push buttons and make selections all on its own. While driving on the highway the screen start beeping loudly and wouldn’t stop as it was “ghost” pressing buttons on the screen and I could not get it under control. You can’t use any of the features of the screen because of the “ghost” pressing. I have no more access to the backup camera, no access to navigation and will need to rely on a mobile device. This is a common issue for many uconnect vehicles and should require a recall for replacement. I was never given a warning, it just started beeping and flashing screens while driving which was distracting and unsafe. The vehicle is no longer under warranty, so I would have to pay for this clearly a recall issue.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and approaching her residence, the vehicle lost electrical power, causing the power steering and brakes to become inoperable. The messages "Service Stability", "Service Transmission" and other unknown messages were displayed. Additionally, the check engine warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road, where she continued driving until the vehicle stopped in front of her residence. The contact stated that the vehicle restarted and operated as needed the following day. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred a week and half later. The vehicle was taken to dealer, where the alternator was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred while returning to her residence. The contact was able to jumpstart the vehicle and drove to her residence; however, the failure reoccurred in front of her residence. The dealer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,524.

The touch screen on the info-tainment head unit is delaminating which is causing the screen to register touches that did not occur. These "ghost" touches are resulting in the head-unit changing settings, starting navigation without prompt, and making phone calls. The un-prompted phone calls has been particularly distracting as there is no means to hang up and has forced me to the side of the road several times to try and end the call. On occasion, the system has made calls to 911 without me prompting it. These incidents have made driving with the head unit operating un-safe

Radio does not work properly. The radio jumps around all setting, and makes calls if cellphone is connected.

Glue from radio screen melts off in hot weather causing delamination which then causing the radio screen to do whatever it wants. Will have gps on then will go to radio screen or any other screen will even turn on heated seats or steering will on it’s one because the screen is messed up

Screen de-laminated, causing ghost touching and different radio stations to be selected nonstop, volume to increase/decrease without the ability to manually intervene, called 911 by itself while driving the vehicle.

Screen delamination of the connect screen has started causing severe ghost touching. Making the system useless and distracting. Unable to use handsfree systems, navigation, radio, or access vehicle settings including the jack mode for the air suspension. On my vehicle it has not been diagnosed by the dealer but this is a known and common issue with this system for 2018 and 2019 and fca\stellantis needs to be forced into a recall for this.

Jeep issued a recall for the high pressure fuel pump on our 2018 Grand Cherokee about a year ago and a redesigned fuel pump by Bosch is still not available. I am unable to travel out of state for fear that the fuel pump will fail possibly causing a crash or leaving me stranded at my own expense. Why have a recall if the manufacturer can just ignore it and start discontinuing the product which Jeep has started to do at the beginning of 2023. Repeated attempts to get service from Jeep for the recall have resulted in the message no parts available. What is NHTSA doing about this recall?

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 55,575 miles was parked in a parking garage all day in Brooklyn NY and when the vehicle was move to the front of the garage by parking attendants the engine started smoking and caught fire. There were no leaks, dashboard symbols or open recalls to cause the fire; additionally the car was linked to a iPhone App CarRx that can scan for any issue and no issue noted. This engine fire not only put all of the other vehicles in the park garage at risk of catching fire but the parking garage sits under a luxury apartment building putting the working and residents at risk. Additionally I commute between Brooklyn and NJ 3x a week and cant imagine what would have happened if I was driving the vehicle over the Brooklyn Bridge, on the Brooklyn Queens Express or in the Holland Tunnel during high commuter rush hour traffic. Car was checked out by a Jeep Dealership who confirm fire was not caused by any leaks or electrical issue but did mentioned it seems to have started around the engine air cleaner. The current status of the issue has been an open investigation with Jeep Corporate for going on the 3rd week with no communication or updates on status. The entire issue and fire from pulling into the garage to the when the car was moved to it smoking and catching fire is all documented on security video.

There is a recall with this vehicle issued in June of 2022. Manufacturer has been very slow and unbale to address this issue - required replacement parts are not available Manufacturer Recall NumberZ46 NHTSA Recall Number22V-406

The contact’s wife owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the ABS, brake lights, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the rear tires locked up inadvertently, without the brake pedal being depressed. The contact stated that there was a pulsation coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact believed that the failure was associated with an unknown recall. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the ABS control module and the hydraulic control module (HCU) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

There is an electrical failure that causes the blinkers to stop working, shortly after noticing this issue the vehicle will fail to start after travelling to my destination. This has happened more than twice and there are no recalls shown for the "Limited" version of this vehicle. The standard edition seems to have confirmed recalls for the same issues that the Limited version is experiencing. A mechanic has described an electrical short circuit. I encourage looking into the different models of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which you'll definitely find the same safety issues described online by many others. These repairs need to be addressed and repaired by the manufacturer. Thank you!

I am the original owner of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 45,000 miles on it (it is out of the warranty period). About 9 months ago, I notice a portion of the center screen becoming delaminated. Then about 4 months ago, the screen started to act up - ghost pressing certain areas of the screen, without me touching it (automatically turning up the volume, turning on heated seats (in Florida), changing audio sources, changing the gps, etc.). It's extremely distracting when I drive. Last week, it even dialed 911 on its own while I was driving it. I contacted Jeep Cares and was instructed to take it into a dealer for a diagnostic check. They are charging me $190 for this. Even when they find the screen defective, I'm fearful that I will be charged the $1,600-$2,000 to have it replaced. This is a very known issue among Jeep/Chrysler owner - many forums like this (https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/display-screen-starting-to-delaminate.224391/) prove it. Even though I am out of warranty, I feel that this should be recalled and covered at no charge (including the diagnostic check) since it's a major safety issue. The screen was defective to begin with - and after driving it for a few year, the defects were finally known. This needs to replaced ASAP before a severe accident takes place.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while reversing, the radio stayed on the display screen. The dealer was contacted, and the dealer stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was contacted, and the manufacturer also stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was 28,000.

All features of the radio and heating and cooling system on my vehicle Do not properly work. The heat will switch to air at full blast without touching anything. The radio will switch between channels or stop working. You also cannot touch the screen to toggle. Or just the volume. this is extremely dangerous as it happens out of nowhere as you are driving. It is clear when looking online that this is a common issue. This is extremely dangerous. I have reported this to the dealership but they said they have not seen this issue. This is clearly not the truth since it’s so easy to Google and see numerous reports of the same incident.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that 10-minutes into driving at various speeds, the infotainment display screen became inoperable. The contact stated that there was a beeping sound coming from the display. The contact also stated that the seat and steering wheel heater functions remained activated. The contact stated that he veered to the side of the road to restart the vehicle, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the control display needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,000.

SCREEN DELAMINATING, IT IS CAUSING HAVOC ON MY DRIVING WITH THE SCREEN HAVING A MIND OF ITS OWN!

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available. The consumer stated parts still are not available to fix the recall.

Digital Touch screen has begun to delaminate. It started in one corner and has progressed to the full top portion of the screen. Since this started, screen has become very glitchy, jumping from one radio station to another constantly or when using maps, screen is jumping all over the place. This started several months ago and has progressively gotten worse. Only way to make it stop is just turning it off completely.

The UConnect in the vehicle delaminated, which caused a crack on the screen. Due to that, the back up cameras do not work & the controls for most things in the vehicle are unable to be used now because they are all connected via the UConnect.

The unconnect stop working and the radio went black

The UConnect radio has delaminated and is available for inspection. Due to the delamination of the UConnect system it will randomly change channels, replace channels, and will skip around to other parts of the system. This issue does not always occur and is random and unkown when it may happen. When the system does this it is a distraction to the driver and could cause a potential incident. This appears to be a known issue with 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Ram pick up trucks based on a google search. There are several threads that discuss the issue and the safety concerns it may cause. There were no warnings of the issue. The delamination has been a slow process and was unaware of the issues that it could cause with changing stations and other items randomly.

Stereo screen is delaminating, sometimes I am completely unable to use radio, temperature controls, hands free calling etc. Screen presses buttons and goes crazy and I am unable to do anything. That is definitely a safety hazard. From what I have researched this is a very common problem with Jeeps.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while starting the vehicle the PCM warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted, and the dealer stated that the vehicle was previously serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V332000 (Electrical System, Vehicle Speed Control) and that the contact had to pay out of pocket for all future repairs. The manufacturer was contacted but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 70,000. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced at the dealer per the recall but is experiencing issues. A warning light keeps appearing even after the vehicle's powertrain control module was reprogrammed.

My touch screen that controls the radio- heated seats-climate-maps and phone is delaminating and ghost pressing everything. It changes my maps causing a huge safety issue my heated seats the radio etc. I have no control over what is being pressed at this point.

The vehicle continues to not start. Replaced both batteries (main & auxiliary) in two days later the vehicle would not start without a jump. Checked the alternator and used a voltage meter to test all fuses. Also was placed on a diagnostic machine nothing detected. The vehicle will run for a couple of days with no problems and then will not start. Took the vehicle in for the recall. The dealership fixed the recall and now the antilock brake sensor light is on and the slippery when wet light is on. I have been told by a mechanic that there has been an TSA stating the TIPM is known to be defective. I have been told the TIPM (fuse box or brain) can cost 600-1000 to replace. The vehicle only has 80000 miles on it. This problem should not be a consumer issue when it has been identified as product defect. Please help.

I have had a problem with the vehicle just shutting down while driving and it seems to have a wiring issue to the oem fuse box which keeps blowing the fuse. I see in 2018 there is a recall on the wiring but when I put my vin in it doesn't show that? I was on the highway and the vehicle shut off while driving and almost got killed with my granddaughter in the back seat when the vehicle behind me swerved into the fast lane and hit a part of the guardrail. I couldn't even put emergency lights on because the power died on every thing

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the rear passenger’s side interior window carbon fiber trim panel had separated from the frame. The contact also stated that the front passenger’s side window trim panel was detaching, and the dashboard trim panel was cracked. Additionally, the contact stated that both the instrument cluster and the center display screen were delaminated and would turn off intermittently while driving. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the center display needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Radio screen is delaminating causing it to randomly turn things on and off, from small things like changing radio stations to "larger things" like changing other settings like seats, climate control etc. Delamination has been evident for the last year however it has just started to cause other issues.

Uconnect System Malfunction/Delamination: EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE: 1. Screen freezes and fails to project image onscreen while backing up. 2. Independent of operator touching screen: --system turns on/off. --increases/decreases volume. --changes stations, and media modes. --navigation frequently freezes during critical intersections. --climate control inaccessible. --randomly dials 911 and other random phone numbers. 3. UConnect fails to turn off even after leaving vehicle. Vehicle is primarily driven by inexperienced 17-yr-old driver. He gets disoriented when back-up camera freezes causing him to stop/park/restart vehicle very possibly in harms way. He has consistently complained about how distracting it is to try to control the system malfunctions while driving. Very often needing to pull over in areas that may not be safe. I have called Jeep Cares, FCA Recall Assistance Center, and visited Dealer Parts Dept and Service Dept. They are aware of but refuse to address the problem in spite of NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE until I pay them non-refundable $195 for them to officially diagnose a known problem and activate my case. I have a video taken in early 2021 (before end of warranty) thats illustrates some of the issues, but could only upload a still image below.

the uconnect screen is bubbling and de laminateing and causing the display to randomly change to all different screens from radio to heat to clock to navigation constantly changing cannot work the navigation, climate control, or radio or any he controls

The Uconnect system laminate bubbles and as such, the system has a phantom buttom touch every few seconds. While driving, this results in an audible ding, the navagation no longer is visible, you are unable to use the backup cameras. I have also been in a situation where it turned on the seat and steering wheel heating and I was unable to turn it off. This is a very wide spread issue and is an incredible safety hazard when driving. It effectively makes it not possible to control the electronics of the vehicle while driving. I urge anyone reading this who does not think this is a huge issue to try driving one of these vehicles while this is happening. I used to drive over 20K miles a year with my previous vehicle. This issue started a month after I bought this vehicle from Vroom. As such, I have driven less than 1,200 miles in 18 months. I am incredibly surprised that this has not been recalled yet. I am trying to upload a video of it but it will not let me. This is a MAJOR problem.

The electrical system per the on-dash guide shows a voltage of 13.8 V or less than the 14.2 V and when it is less than the 14.2 V the car drives choppy, braking causes the car to jolt around even after brake work. The radiator was recently replaced and new hoses were replaced and it still has not been remedied after new brakes and new serpentine belt. The dealer did not clean all remaining radiator fluid that spilled in the bottom of the car, as the radiator had not completely been malfunctioning prior to arrival at dealer. This has probably caused some corrosion due to faulty manufacturing and use of subpar components to where this would become an issue. The air hoses continuously make noise as there is intermittent whirring. The electrical components of the car which I assume are manifested via the voltage regulator cause the adaptive cruise control/ auto stop-start to become 'unavailable' intermittently throughout driving the car. There have been recalls issued for other Jeep Grand Cherokees for the very same issues that my car is experiencing and I want this to be remedied and not at my expense.

The UConnect system seems to be changing setting on heating and volume controls as well as many other features. It has caused me to be very distracted while driving. It seems to be a real problem among all of the same systems. Please help!

The radio changes channels on its own and dials phone numbers at random.

2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO ILLUMINATED CHECK ENGINE AND BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHTS. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO CARE FOR THE COST OF THE RENTAL CAR BY REMOVING THE AMOUNT FROM THE COST OF SERVICE CHARGES WHICH TOTALED $2,670.69 APPROVED BY THE MANAGER. UNFORTURNATELY, THE CLAIM WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF ITS WARRANTY AND DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ANY ACTIVE SERVICE CONTRACTS.

The Uconnect Infotainment system frequently malfunctions. Because it is linked to the heating/cooling/defrost system it has caused the heat to turn on in dangerously hot weather while my 91 year old aunt was waiting in the car for me to pick up her prescriptions at Walmart. It also blanked out while I was using the navigation system in heavy traffic to find the Amtrak station during rush hour traffic in Philadelphia. Finally the same system blanked out a few days ago while I was driving to work and dialed the SOS emergency number. After a few minutes I was finally able to communicate to the emergency response agents that I was not involved in an accident, that it was a system malfunction. This has been an ongoing issue with the Uconnect 8.4 inch touch screen system. Chrysler FCA has only recently reluctantly admitted to being aware of the problems. When I notified them of my problems with the system in May 2022 their response was that since my vehicle was past the 36,000 mile warranty period that I would have to have it replaced at a dealer at an out-of-pocket cost of over $1300. Subsequently there has been an overwhelming flood of identical reports and complaints on Youtube, Facebook, Reddit, etc. When I contacted Chrysler FCA earlier this week their response was that I would be given a case # (which I was) but that I would then have to make an appointment to have it diagnosed at a dealer (for a fee). Then the dealer would possibly order a replacement. Reports on forums indicate that the replacement units typically take months just to arrive at dealerships. Finally, I have read numerous reports that the replacement units experience the same problems after a short period. I just read several reports of customers stating that they are on their 2nd and 3rd Uconnect replacements!

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the safety hazard warning light illuminated, and the vehicle was making abnormal sounds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the dealer related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V332000 (Electrical System, Vehicle Speed Control). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,858.

UConnect 8.4 has delaminated at the top of the screen, making it unsafe as the screen now clicks itself. Sometimes it changes the radio station or changes the time setting, or calls people randomly. The navigation system is obsolete because the screen clicks itself and reroutes destination. It is very distracting. It makes the radio and Sirius XM not usable.

The uconnect system screen is delaminating causing the system to make erratic changes to navigation and causing it to be useless. From what is to be an hands free system is now a dangerous distraction. This includes the ability to use the phone and or stereo. Jeep Chrysler offers no assistance with replacement outside of expensive repairs. This is common in 2018 vehicles.

The touchscreen has delaminated causing the radio, navigation, and other features managed through the touchscreen to be unuseable.

Interactive touch display screen delaminating causing ghost touching leading to functional changes in regards to switching from Heat to AC, switching navigation off and changing functions sporadically leading to distraction and difficulty operating car.

On 01/31/2023, the driver side headrest spontaneously deployed and is no longer functional. The two parts that separated cannot be put back together. The were no indicators present of the headrest being faulty. The dealer was notified and stated that the repair would not be covered due to no current recalls for the headrest

The display for the radio, navigation and other components is malfunctioning. The radio switches the station without warning and goes back and forth between FM and XM on its own. The navigation screen or a message stating "Do you want to adjust your clock settings?" pops up on the screen and then disappears. It prevents me from being able to adjust any of the settings or control the radio. The most worrying issue is that if the seat warmers are on, you are unable to turn them down or off, causing the seats to become uncomfortably hot. I have not had the vehicle inspected. There was no warning message or other symptoms before these problems became evident. They first appeared 60 days ago and have progressively increased in frequency.

Rear glass in the sunroof spontaneously exploded. The inner shade was closed so the glass did not shower down on the rear passengers, but it would have if the shade wasn't closed. The sound of the explosion was so loud it was like a canon going off. Such an intense noise could easily cause someone to swerve into oncoming traffic or go off the side of the road.

Laminating screen Unable to access handsfree functions could lead to accident inspected by Sandman's, Shelbyville, IN

For the past month the radio has been changing channels continuously, the volume changes, the seat warmers and heater turn on and off. I researched this and found many others with this problem. It is a safety concern.

The UConnect touch screen is delaminating, causing "ghost touches". The screen acts as though it's being touched repeatedly, bouncing from command to command (changes radio station, asks if I want to update the clock settings, etc). It's super distracting and the only way to stop it is to turn off the whole thing. In addition to shutting off the radio, turning it off disables access to tools like the backup camera, clock, climate controls, everything. I understand from looking online that this is a very common issue but Jeep isn't taking responsibility for it.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Front left blinker failed, front right headlight failed, both at the same time. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Both failed and now there is no blinker or headlight to drive safely at night or in inclement weather. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the auto shop confirmed on 1/17/23. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. The failure occurred on 1/14/23, car would not start at all. On 1/15/23 I went back to start it again and it started, tried to drive away and the car shut off on me while driving. The car then began to honk randomly, all the wipers went off, and the lights started flickering. I turned the car off completely and tried ot turn it back on and the car would not start again and also the front left blinker was now completely not working and the front left headlight is completely out. There is a warning on my car for the front left blinker but not for the front right headlight.

October 31, 2022 - Check Engine Light came on. Autozone gave me the P0456 code - Small Leak in Evap System. The check engine light went off a week later. Continued to come on/off for the next 2 months. I was able to finally get an appt on 1/9 and took it into San Diego Jeep Dealership on Camino Del Rio S. They charged $500 for diagnostic even though I had the code already and replaced the Purge Valve & Hose. On 1/14 my car engine would not start at all. On 1/15 my car engine started, I went to drive and within a block my car shut off on me and I coasted to the side of the road while it threw a bunch of different errors including electronic stability warning. I came to a stop and then all of my windshield wipers randomly started going off, my horn randomly started going off, and the lights in my car started flashing. I pressed the push start button to try to turn it all off. I then got the error meesage that my front left headlight was out, it now is, alos my left blinker now doesn't work properly. I tried to start the car again, no luck. I called a tow truck, the tow truck guy was able to get my engine to start. I explained that my car shut off and asked him to follow me for a little while. I got 2 blocks and came to an stop sign where I idled and my car engine shut off on me again. I had my car towed back to the dealership that did the work. On 1/16 they told me it would be $700 for an electrical diagnostic. I did not have any major problems or warnings before taking it to the dealership.

One year after I purchased my Jeep the screen starting delaminating. This created “phantoms touching” It started out small but eventually became to where the Jeep was not fuctional. Including not being able to adjust temperature to defrost or defog my windshield. This is an extreme safety hazard with no work around. The screen overrides anything I do with the physical buttons below it. The screen turns back on even when I try to turn it off. This is especially a problem because I live in the Midwest with plenty of ice & snow. It’s incredible that I have not caused an accident yet. I have made plenty of phone calls to Jeep who refuse to recall the screen even though they have admitted it is a known problem with the screen itself. Not only is it a safety issue but I cannot access several of the main functions.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - Power steering failed while driving with family in vehicle including pregnant wife and toddler. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The power steering turned off while driving and has been deemed defective. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the dealership confirmed it’s a rack and pinion issue and they are out of stock and on back order. I’m not the only one experiencing this. They also can’t fix my car without a part. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The dealership inspected it. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. The jeep only has 55000 miles on it. I take care of my cars. This issue is known and the part is $2000 not including labor. I want my car fixed and I can’t get it fixed. I rely on this vehicle for my family. They can’t order the part nor find it. I am stuck without power steering. Not by choice.

The control screen is delaminating from the top of the screen. It affects visibility and the unit behaves erratically. The vehicle has 35k miles. Sometimes the screen won’t display anything. I believe this to be a hazard—it affects navigation and all the other controls that are accessed through this interface.

My Jeep started skipping through screens on the display randomly in August 2022, but since has increasingly doing it nearly everyday now. There is a visible big “drip” look on the screen in the top right corner. The screen now will call contacts on my phone and has also activated the SOS calls 4-5 times. I have to drive without connecting my phone to stop the inadvertent calls but the screens continue to flip through on its own. This is very frustrating and distracting while driving and the obnoxious ding it makes with each switch. The seat warmers flipping on constantly is also very distracting when the high setting is hot enough to make me hop to prevent injury and pain.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle started shaking and nearly stalled while ascending a hill. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but had also occurred while stopped at a traffic light. The contact stated that the vehicle also hesitated while depressing the accelerator. The contact stated that she depressed the accelerator pedal with added force; however, the vehicle failed to immediately respond. The contact stated that after a while the vehicle responded and drove forward. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The infotainment screen started acting crazy and makes it difficult or impossible to operate the vehicle when misbehaving. The screen will lock up and not respond to any touch control. Powering the vehicle off and on at a traffic light does not fix the issue. Of course, this means I cannot operate the HVAC, navigation nor any other controls requiring the touch screen. The system will also switch on its own into different modes and selections... radio, seat and steering wheel heaters, volume, etc. The problem is frequent and persistent. The screen has also delaminated and is becoming harder to see/read. The malfunctioning of the screen is a big driver distraction taking away from attention on driving. Not being able to turn off or on the seat warmers nor the HVAC when malfunctioning causes discomfort and distraction. I have reached out to Jeep customer care but have not made contact with them yet.

For my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee: the UConnect touchscreen which controls everything from the parking assist functions to navigation to climate is delaminating. As a result of the delaminating screen, the screen will malfunction while driving the vehicle causing it 1) become permanently "stuck" on the rear back up camera/parking assist mode or 2) override driver selections and prompt the driver to select/deselect other functions unrelated to driving causing dangerous distractions and impacting our ability to use the car and system safely.

This concerns the malfunction of 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Uconnect 4C NAV with 8.4-Inch Display UAV Radio. The dealer removed the radio and inspected the problem. The touch screen bubbled/delaminated and the adhesive must of warmed up from the radio use and dripped down to the bottom of the radio affecting other components. The radio will change stations on it's own,navigation won't work. If i have my cell phone on it will make random calls and it will activate the SOS call. That happened 3 times and 2 times i was driving on the highway. That did take my attention away from driving. Now i have to make sure my phone is off when driving. I didn't renew my Uconnect subscription so i didn't get in trouble for that. My chrysler factory warranty denied a replacement. They told me the dealer said something about it was an outside influence (a sticky liquid inside) caused the radio problem that made the radio act that way so it's not covered. Giving you an approximate date is hard to do. It happens a lot. The date i put is when it started to really act up

Car radio gets stuck on screen that says "do you want to adjust the clock" . You cannot get into any of the apps that change the braking system or change the heat settings (like defrost) It just jumps back to do you want to adjust the clock. Sometimes the screen just goes off completely. Looks like the screen is delaminating. You can see the bubble underneath.

About a month ago my Jeep's UConnect touch screen started to mess up. After doing further investigation, I have found out it is a common problem for this model and year of my Jeep and people are describing it as delamination and "ghost touch." This sounds exactly like what mine is doing. It has progressively gotten worse since it started and it is to the point where I can't even control anything because it is just randomly pressing on the screen. I believe this is a safety hazard because I now get very distracted when driving. It has even closed out of my directions when driving and I feel like I have a lack of control over safety features if I needed them. The problem has not been inspected by anyone yet but I have a video of the issue below. There are no error messages that pop up.

The Uconnect system has been delaminating for a while now. As such, there is "ghost pressing" of buttons on the screen. This, while driving, renders many important components of the vehicle unusable. There is a loud ding, then the reverse cameras go out if using them. Navigation ceases to work. Heating, cooling are also affected. I had not given much thought to how bad of a safety hazard this was until it started up on a 3 hour drive. The distractions of having most electric components go haywire while on the road is quite incredible. This is a well known issue so I am dumbfounded that it has not been recalled. I have had 3 quotes on the vehicle and all say that the unit needs to be replaced. Uconnect will not assist and Jeep wants full price for a fix. As such, I have drove my vehicle 1-2K in 15+ months as it is completely unsafe.

It’s a known issue from at least 1014-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee where the dash hoard leather is detaching itself and bubbling up I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee sterling edition. Also a 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland and both vehicles are doing same exact thing the dash board leather is peeling up and bubbling!!?? Thousands of other owners with same issue

The infotainment system screen keeps changing and asking if I want to reset the clock. It also turns on the heated seat and steering wheel heat and blower motor requiring constant attention to the screen to try to turn things off and causing constant distraction from driving.

The touch screen on my UConnect system is delaminating, and as such it is causing the system to go haywire, constantly asking if I want to change the clock, making phone calls, changing the environment settings along with heated seats/steering wheel and who knows what else as it gets worse I've done some research and this seems to be a common issue in Jeeps around the year I have and it's a safety issue. This is all happening while I'm driving and it's incredibly distracting, not to mention it affects the operation of the vehicle I'm surprised this is not yet a recalled issue but I hope it can be made one soon. It seems like I will have to have this issue fixed out of pocket but hopefully I'll be able to be retroactively reimbursed if the NHTSA can make this a recall promptly Thank you

The touch screen on the vehicle, which contains the navigation, radio, heating and cooling functions, hands free calling and other settings, has begun delaminating. While driving there are near constant "phantom touches", which is constant beeping, changing of radio stations. The phantom touches also prevent me from being able to access any features on the touch screen as the phantom touch will kick me out.

Infotainment screen has slowly been delaminating. Today, the screen began receiving phantom commands. I do not touch the screen, but the screen acts as though I am constantly touching it in random places. The radio, defrost, maps, backup camera, etc. turn on and off. It has made my car unsafe to drive because I can't keep my windshield defrosted, I can't use the navigation feature, I can't properly use the rear camera in reverse, and there is persistent beeping from the screen mistakenly sensing that I am touching it.

ABS light/Traction light comes on when I break or reverse. When I start up the car it is never on. The car jerks as it shifts to 2wd and I am informed that park sensor is off as well.

The UConnect screen is delaminating which is causing the touchscreen to malfunction. This is causing the navigation system, radio, seating controls, and climate control to be inoperable for spans of time. I have already had several occasions where this has caused unsafe driving conditions.

Radio screen is delaminating. When it starts to act up the radio, navigation, phone calls, climate control, radio start to go crazy. Even if you turn it off it’ll turn back on causing insane distractions.

On 11/24/22 my touch screen began to show a box that blocked the entire screen asking if I wanted to adjust my clock. I tapped "no" and it would not clear. I tapped the "X" in the corner and it would not clear. So I tapped yes and it took me to another screen to sync with GPS etc. Then it would disappear. It kept repeating this and then would flash and beep. Then disappear and reappear the entire trip. I then noticed that there was a discoloration or delamination at the top of the screen so I "googled" this issue and apparently the 2018 Jeep vehicles have an issue with this where the radio/ navigation / screen system / bluetooth/ Apple Car Play will act on it's own - shut down, change stations, etc. It is still ongoing so I took it to my dealer and they confirmed the delamination issue and have ordered a new radio system. This is a safety concern and I was unable to see the navigation or use the touch screen to control the heating system or anything else controlled by the touch screen, not to mention a distraction while driving.

UNKNOWN: My Uconnect 4C NAV with 8.4 Inch Display Screen started delaminating approximately 4 months ago. The top 1/3 of the screen is delaminated causing the system to randomly change radio stations, change the radio between AM, FM, and Sirius Satellite radio, also keeps beeping with each change and not allowing me to use my navigation system. Also, I keep getting messages repeatedly telling me to reset my clock. This delamination is affecting my Travel Link and also my settings as the screen is jumping all over the place switching randomly to anything it wants to without any input from me. In my opinion this is a very serious safety hazard and could pose a risk for serious injury. Also, my phone was calling wrong numbers at random because the whole system is interconnected with each other. I love my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is a 25th Anniversary edition and I plan on keeping it forever. I wanted to reach out to you first before I go to the dealer. I presently just turned over 49,000 miles and I realize my 3-year warranty is up but my 5 -year and my travel link won't be up until March of 2023. Thank You very much. I would appreciate any help you could give me to help me resolve this very annoying issue.

Touchscreen display bubbling, delamination, malfunctioning during use, including during back up camera usage/display, navigation display, climate control malfunction. Touchscreen malfunction including functions turning on and off by themselves, system has life of its own. Display continues to show back up camera display even when driving forward commences (see photo). Safety issues/Symptoms include radio changing volumes to extreme levels my itself during driving, back up camera while in use disappearing and screen going blue, navigation system while in use changing to other functions without user input.

While car is driving, the infotainment system which controls heating/air conditioning, NAV, radio, etc. will start to flash, make noises on its own, play the radio and the stations switch on their own. It is extremely dangerous and distracting while trying to drive the car. The only way to stop is to turn it off but then you have no access to a navigation system which presents its own dangers. Without proper heating in the winter months or cooling in the summer months, the car can be dangerously cold or dangerously heated, especially dangerous when driving around young children or my elderly parents. When I contacted the dealer about it, they reported they have heard of this happening, that there is no recall despite the inherent dangers and that it would cost over one thousand to repair. It has not been inspected by any manufacturer, police, insurance rep or others as it has only been occuring for a couple months and I was hoping if I reset the system, it would stop. There have been no warning signals that this is occuring. When I decided to do an internet search, I found that thousands of 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees are having this issue, that it's been widely reported to NHTSA and that Jeep has not issued a recall, despite the dangerous driving of a vehicle such as this.

The screen on my 2018 jeep grand Cherokee has started delamination at the top. This causes constant blinking on the screen saying to adjust my clock. It is very distracting and it beeps with every flash. I’ve been told the entire screen and radio have to be replaced which will cost over $800. I have 66k miles on my jeep. I’ve seen this has been an issue for many 2018 jeep owners. I have an appointment on November 30th at angola Chrysler jeep in Angola indiana to have this replaced.

there's is a problem with the Touch Screen where a message keeps popping up and after a period of time this causes the Touch Screen to be unusable (can't use Navigation, Radio, Hands Free Calling etc.). after doing research online it appears this is a known problem and is the result of a flaw in the Manufacturer's (LG) process (delamination of adhesive between Screen and Digitial Touch Component). As a side note, I mentioned this when I brought my Jeep into the Dealership for service and they confirmed they were aware of it (their solution is to charge me $2,145 to replace the Radio...the Radio isn't the problem, it's the Touch Screen that has the issue).

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while stopped in a parking lot with the engine running and the vehicle in drive(D) with his foot on the brake pedal, the vehicle lunged forward when he removed his foot from the brake pedal to slightly move forward. The contact was attempting to move forward at approximately 1 MPH however, the vehicle suddenly lunged forward. The contact had to depress the brake pedal with force. The contact stated he was not aware of any warning lights being illuminated. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The vehicle was later taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

I bought my Jeep Grand Cherokee in the end of February 2021 with approx. 52,000 miles on it. All work done to it after this point has been under warranty with me paying all of the deductibles for the warranty work. A couple of weeks after purchase, the problems began. It was overheating, white steam coming out of my exhaust pipes, vibrating very badly, shutting down at traffic lights, amongst other symptoms. As of now, the dealership has replaced 3 new water pumps, and 2 new cylinder heads (both times were issues with the 3rd cylinder). This go round, it’s now back in the shop with another misfire with cylinder 3. The dealership has also replaced the EGR Cooler, Ignition Coil, Motor Mounts, Coolant Flush, Lifters & Rockers & it is still in the shop. All repairs done by the same shop (different technicians throughout the past year and a half). I thought it might qualify under the lemon law and called an attorney who asked me some questions but said that it does not qualify in my state under the Lemon Law because it’s now past the 60,000 milestone. It now has approximately 85,000 miles on it. I have been without a vehicle approximately 6 months out of the past year and a half and multiple rental car fees (though the dealership absorbed the majority of the fees when it was in the shop this past June/July). A few of the reasons all of this is most upsetting to me: - My daughter and I have broken down on the side of a busy interstate twice (once in the middle of the night) and had to try to get off of the interstate safely so we could be towed - I have been faithfully paying my 'new-to-me' car note ever since I bought it but haven't had much of a chance to drive my 'new' vehicle - My daughter recently got her driver's permit & can't learn how to drive as we are in a rental & it is against the rental company policy to allow anyone else to drive their vehicles. - I have had to take off of work MANY hours due to this This is holding up our lives!

We bought our 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited in 2020 with approximately 12,000 miles on it. Last year we started noticing the radio would change stations on its own once and awhile. It got progressively worse, or more frequent, so I connected Chrysler customer care/Uconnect and the CR asked if the screen on the radio was delaminating and that they were aware of this causing issues. I told them it was not because I had not noticed this problem. Anyway, they said there have been many complaints but no recall thus far. They told me to keep any receipts should I have the radio repaired. A couple weeks later, the sunlight hit the dash just right and I then saw the screen was in fact delaminating at the top from one side to the other. It has gotten to the point now where the radio will suddenly start going from channel to channel and making a clicking sound each time. Very distracting when driving in rush hour traffic in Nashville. Most concerning is when i need to depend on navigation during rush hour, or when I'm in an unfamilar city and the navigation starts acting up. This almost caused me to crash one time when i realized at the last second that i needed to take an exit on the opposite side of a 4 lane. The nav was flickering and when it stopped it showed the exit i needed to take. Fortunately, at that exact moment traffic was such that i was able to cross over without colliding with another vehicle. This radio issue is also affecting the heater and a/c turning on and off by itself. I hate to think about being stuck somewhere in freezing temps and not able to get the heater to work. I have read many other complaints on this same problem and know other people have had much worse problems. This has been going on long enough and Chrysler should be recalling these radios and repairing the screen. I guess it'll take someone getting seriously hurt or killed to make something happen. Oh, uconnect told me if i were the original owner it would be fixed for free!

The 8.4 touch screen is delaminating causing the whole screen area to randomly turn things on and off on its own. Changing certain settings while driving. Safety settings are being affected as well as the touch screen controls almost everything. The defective touch screen is causing a distraction while driving. Contacted jeep they are aware of the issues but no one wants to take responsibility to fix it.

The control screen of my jeep is 'delaminating'. This is apparently quite a known issue to the manufacturer, however they wont do anything to address it. When the screen starts reacting to phantom touches, not only can I not control anything in the car, it is very distracting to the driver to put it mildly. I have also read that as the glue melts, it leaks onto the wiring of all the components under the screen including the AC, all the parking sensor and traction control off controls.

The infotainment system (radio) has been delaminating and has ghost touches. It stops to work at any moment causing a safety issue. Reverse camera stops working and the ghost touches are very distracting while driving.

Touch screen is delaminating and has ghost touch causing random unintentional functions to be selected and others to be obscured. Heated seats come on and won't turn off. Phone calls are made on their own. Repeated screen messages from ghost touch selections obstruct use of screen for intended purposes which include most vehicle controls. It presents a serious driving distraction. I consider this a safety issue. It is a known defective part for which Jeep has a replacement but won't offer the replacement at no cost out of warranty. Cost is approximately $1,000.

The contact owned a 2018 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while at a complete stop at the traffic light, with the START/STOP mode engaged, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly and crashed into the rear of another vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The air bags deployed. The contact stated that the forward collision automatic braking system failed to engage. The contact sustained back pain. The contact also sustained trauma and had been seeking assistance from a therapist. The occupant of the other vehicle did not sustain injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot where it was totaled. The contacted related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

The touch screen on the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is delaminating and this appears to be a common theme with this vehicle. The delamination causes the screen to "ghost touch" itself and constantly click various parts of the screen. This almost entirely prohibits the use of the HandsFree function, a serious safety issue. When holding the button to activate Siri when my iPhone is connected, Siri will activate but then the screen "ghost touches" itself and immediately deactivates Siri because the screen touches itself not where the Siri logo/listening icon appears. I cannot use Hands Free functions in my vehicle which causes the need to use my hands which is very dangerous. This needs to be recalled to prevent situations where drivers of a 2018 vehicle with CarPlay are forced to use their hands. Further, with the screen touching itself, it is constantly pressing on the screen and selecting different presets, settings, options. I cannot view my Apple Maps on the touch screen because it switches off the screen and begins to play music, pause the music, skip songs, play songs, etc. While listening to the radio, the screen will touch itself and select different presets, changing the station, and be very very distracting. This issue is a serious distraction while driving and puts myself and those I am driving in danger.

Top right corner of touch screen started delaminating about a year ago. But nothing happened, it was just cosmetic. Until now, it causes the screen to change on its own. It will call people, change the radio station, flicker the map and end the directions, turn on my seat heaters. It is very distracting while driving which is dangerous and puts my safety at risk. This is a very known and common issue by Jeep, but out of warranty they just charge you $1000+ to replace it.

The radio has a mind of its own keeps changing stations.. Is there anything else?that’s it

Uconnect infotainment screen is delaminating causing the unit to select random buttons on its own. on a cool morning I was driving to work when the screen started randomly changing the climate controls blasting full heat directly on my windshield causing it to fog up and impaired my visibility. The unit then started calling 911, turning radio channels on and adjusting the volume. This was extremely distracting and I had no control over the functions of my vehicle. Uconnect is aware of this very common issue and refuses to offer a solution. No warning, only visible defect of the delamination was present prior to the unit randomly changing functions on its own.

I own a jeep grand Cherokee summit (2018), and the central control unit is delaminating, which in turn causes touch screen sensitivity issues. The trouble is that this unit is the central nervous system of the car. It controls hvac, camera, radio, car settings, etc… and having a car pressing its own buttons and self-changing car settings while driving is a MAJOR safety concern. Jeep has been unhelpful for myself and for vehicle owners of Jeep, Ram, etc… cars which all suffer from the same manufacturer defect. The manufacturer admittedly says the units are universally a problem, and have goodwill fixed some for people out of warranty, but refuses to help most people — thereby forcing the consumer to spend ~$1500 installing a new computer. Please help.

Uconnect 8.4 infotainment system issue. Unit has delaminated and is not functioning properly because of delaminating issue. Unit will cycle through options in infotainment system because of de-lamination without interaction. Infotainment system is hub for all important settings of vehicle. Some features will not function properly if the infotainment system isn’t working properly. This is a KNOWN widespread issue with Uconnect systems. Please act and recall these infotainment systems to be replaced by Uconnect/vehicle manufacturers.

The infotainment screen is delaminating causing it to switch screens uncontrollably, turn on seat heaters, change radio stations, etc.

Screen delaminating. It started in the top left corner of the screen and progressively is getting worse. I’ve read this is a common issue. Unable to select any controls. It Automatically selects controls itself at a rapid pace. Also with selecting controls it causes it to automatically call random contacts. It causes several distractions and is frustrating when you can’t use half of the the functions that Are connected with the screen. Such as A/C and heating functions. The air turned on full blast one day while driving and fogged up the front windshield causing me to have to pull over and try to get the screen to shut down.

Touch Screen De-laminiation. Entertainment system started having ghost clicks without being touched while driving at highway speeds. Started making phone calls, changing radio stations, turning HVAC on and off, depending on which screen I was on. Could not turn off screen because the phantom touches would just turn it back on again.

The Head Unit which controls, among other things, the ‘SOS’ calling system, the GPS, the cellphone (for calling 911) has a membrane screen which delaminates and causes the unit to make all kinds of eronious calls, GPS location changes and disabling events. I feel this is a serious safety concern and that the mfr. (Delphi) should voluntarily recall these units for replacement.

The Uconnect screen is delaminating and causing the screen to be completely useless. It calls people randomly and does not allow you to call 911 in an emergency. It also renders GPS useless. This is a known problem in this vehicle and it needs to needs to be taking care of! It is a safety hazard when the screen is going bazerk and you are driving! It is extremely distracting and you cannot use 90% of the functionality of your dash!

The touchscreen is turning on and off heated seats, on and off radio, phone, then requesting screen clock be reset. If car is cold this does not happen until it warms up. Safety issue when these things come on and off without notice.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the traction control warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle would start and shift out of park without depressing the brake pedal. The brake warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the adaptive cruise control mode and the automatic Start/Stop feature were no longer operative. The contact received notification NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that service brake hydraulic system had failed. The vehicle was then taken to a second dealer, Bryden Jeep Ram Dodge Chrysler - Bryden Motors (548 Broad St, Beloit, WI 53511) who provided the same diagnostic result and advised the contact to not drive the vehicle as it was unsafe. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights would illuminate while driving the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Mopar radio display has delaminated across the top portion of the screen. This is creating "ghost touching" on my screen preventing me from accessing and controlling full functionality of my vehicle including, but not limited to, hands free travel, climate controls of car, including seat functions and temperature regulating for air or heat, do not disturb/notifications and time functions, car apps including the car manual/vehicle user guide, SOS functionality, back up camera usage. The screen goes haywire when turned on and resets driver controls.

The screen in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is bubbling up. It seems that the screen is delaminating. Because of the delamination, the screen thinks that I am touching it. My radio station will change, the clock settings keep coming up and disappearing, and the top portion of the screen where it has delaminated does not work at all. When I touch the screen, it does not work. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I am concerned that the electrical will fail and cause my car to lock up. My safety is put as risk with the chance that the screen fails and causes an electrical issue. This also puts everyone else at danger if the car malfunctions and I lose control on the roadway. I called the dealership and they stated that this is a known problem in the model and year of my Jeep. There was no warning that this problem was going to occur.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The screens on the 2018 and later Jeep Grand Cherokees are delaminating and changing settings in the vehicle automatically. This cause issues on setting controlled by the screen, and leads to distraction on the road. There are numerous reports of this incident occurring (simple google it), and should have been a part recall by the NHTSA or Jeep.

Uconnect Navigation Touchscreen bubbled, it is available for inspection upon request. Happens multiple times a week. It has put me at risk when driving because it's distracting and takes my attention away from driving because it makes multiple changes on the screen. Screen changes settings, makes phone calls on its own, or stops navigation without any input from me. It still has not been inspected. Problem first appeared a year ago after screen bubble got bigger.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the infotainment screen independently performed random features without warning. The failure affected the climate control features including the defroster. The contact called several unknown dealers and was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The contact also contacted the manufacturer to file a complaint but was denied. The contact was also informed that the vehicle would be covered under warranty if he was the original owner. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

There is a bubble on the touch screen located on the dash. Because of this the screen is constantly getting pressed. It will change the radio station. It will change the navigation route, destination and the map completely. It will randomly call someone. Because the screen is constantly moving and getting pressed I am unable to use the radio, navigation system or any other feature that is included with the screen. I have been in route using the navigation system and it completely changed my destination. I was driving so I was unable to change it back. I had to pull over, turn the power off to the screen and just use my phone. I have multiple videos of this happening if needed.

The main LCD screen for the car that controls, climate, radio, Bluetooth, navigation etc. has started delaminating. The delaminating has caused the screen to behave as though possessed. Car will make calls from contacts and drop calls, make SOS calls to 911, change radio stations, change climate settings, turn on seat heaters, randomly usurp the navigation system when being used to name just a few behaviors. I have observed most systems controlled from the screen to be victim of this delaminating. It is incredibly dangerous when the screen acts up while driving, distracting the driver while moving. Many of the actions require immediate attention which distract driver from the road. It started several months ago only occasionally but has recently advanced where the disruptions are constant. The dealers and manufacturer are well aware of the issue but the cost to repair is upwards of $2000 which is a barrier for many vehicle owners. The problem started after noticing a small bubbles in the screen and has progressively gotten worse.

Almost four months have passed since this recall was announced. It has to do with the high-pressure fuel pump which could fail and introduce debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. This could result in loss of motive power which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning. We need to continue to drive this vehicle. We keep checking to see whether parts are available to remedy this situation, but they are not. How long do we have to live with the fear of having a crash due to this unrepaired recall?

RADIO IS GOING CRAZY WITH VOLUME, STATIONS, CONECTING TO ANY PHONE IN OR NEAR DE VEHICLE, DIALING AND HAGING ON ITS ON. SEAT HEATING TURNING ON ALL THE WAY UP AND STEERING WHEEL ASWELL. A/C STARTS ON ITS OWN AND KEEPS CHANGING HOT TO COLD AND MAXING IT AS WELL AS TURNING IT OFF. IT ALL STARTED IN JULY 2022 AND IT KEEPS DOING ON AND OFF.

The vehicle's UConnect screen has delaminated. The result is a "ghost finger" touching the screen in random places every few seconds. This causes: The heat and fan to crank up to maximum; the heated seats to come on high; or Bluetooth to drop off; radio to switch between functions; navigation system will begin tracking in random directions. This is extremely distracting while driving and requires my attention to remedy which is a significant safety concern. Safety issue is averrable for inspection. Dealer has visually inspected the issue and verbally confirmed the delimitation is the case of the issue. no one else has inspected the issue. This issue began a year ago, around 30k miles, and has continued to get worse. Vehicle is at 37k miles now.

The contact's wife owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would surge forward. An unknown warning light was illuminated. The contact's wife was able to continue driving. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while reversing. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was associated with the transmission; however, the parts to repair the vehicle were not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the center display would turn off intermittently. Additionally, the contact stated while reversing, the rear camera would fail to turn on intermittently. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000.

8.4 infotainment display delaminated across the top third of the screen, rendering the screen unusable while the vehicle was at highway speed. Repeated uncommanded prompts to reset the clock created a significant driver distraction, placing the occupants of the vehicle at risk. This problem has been widely reported by thousands of Jeep owners and owners of other Stellantis vehicles.

Behind the driver's side, the seatbelts can not be used. They are too difficult and deep into the seat to reach. I have not taken it to a dealership or anything but I had a trip planned with my three grandkids and had to manipulate the car seat behind the driver side with the middle seat belt to secure seat as much as possible to keep my grandson as safe as possible. This was my first time using the seat belts on this side. Wasn't aware of the imminent danger. How do I get this fixed?

For the last month of more, the infosystem would asked "Do you want to adjust your clock setting?". If you say no takes you back to the same screen if you say yes it let you update it but then goes back to the same screen and keeps on blinking and making sounds (causing an audible driving hazard). It would go away only to come back the next time you drive. Now today it is changing stations would out me touching the screen and now when i turn on the radio the volume is set to max (almost caused an accident this morning when it cranked to max while driving). Checked it it appears my uconnect system is up to date so not sure what else i could do. Dealer will look it at for $150 bucks!!!

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Ghost touch in the radio display, crazy touching, the Uconnect almost caused an accident while driving on the interstate when it started making phone calls and would not let me hang up. I could not even get into the settings to tell it to disconnect from my phone.

While driving the radio system began having glitches where it would say it was calling or texting on its own. We would reset the radio and it would seem to correct itself and start working again. A few weeks later the issue became worse. The electronic system really began to malfunction. The car would call SOS several times in a row, typically they would not go through and would eventually end, a few times they did make it through and we had to have the operator end the call, the radio nor the button on the rear view mirror would allow us to end the call. The radio would transfer stations on its own, it would start calling and texting on its own, the seat heaters started turning on and off on their own and the rear view camera started to flash onto the screen all on its own as well. Essentially the electronic system within the vehicle went absolutely crazy on its own and did not respond to any of our efforts to stop it. It was very distracting and extremely unsafe, as we were driving down the interstate in a construction zone that has numerous vehicle accidents each week. Did I mention that I had my wife and 18 month old twins in the vehicle when it happened?!? So we took it to the dealership, just outside of our extended warranty now, to have a dealer giggle and simply tell us its a KNOWN issue, but it would be $165 dollars to diagnose. After running the diagnostic we were informed the vehicle needed a software update, but were still charged the $165. The software update did not fix the issue, the radio is still possessed, and we were quoted as parts costing 1500 dollars and labor taking it up to over 2000. The vehicle has just over 85,000 miles. I'm hoping customer care will help fix this issue, given the shear numbers of reports. Do have video of incident as well.

Was making a left turn and the vehicle lost power mid turn. It has done this once before while I was driving straight. The car does not shut off or sputter. On this occasion I pushed the start button to cut the car off and restarted and it was fine however I could have been hit because the car lost power as if it was in neutral or another gear while I was turning on a protected flashing yellow. The previous time when it randomly lost power when I was driving. I put it in park, then drive and it was fine but I was on a busy street when this happened and could have been rear ended.

Uconnect screen with radio/nav/driver controls is delaminating, causing screens to change and overriding all driver selections. It creates serious safety issues when the unit overrides driver choices, and is also distracting as the unit beeps and switches back and forth among options.

The 8.4 UCONNECT screen is delaminating. It is a known issue with FCA vehicles and FCA is denying they know anything about it because it is a very expensive head unit to replace.

The UConnect screen has a bubble from delamination of the screen components, and has been causing distracting "phantom" screen touches, flashing the screen between apps, and making unintended changes to screen settings. The driver is forced to ignore whatever the screen is doing until it's safe to divert attention. This problem was confirmed by a Jeep dealer, but Jeep customer service declined to pay to fix the faulty component.

I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I am the original owner and I am having issues with my screen backup screen bubbling. Also, it changes the heat all the way up or down and keeps moving, it changes the radio station, it makes calls on my phone without me dialing. Very distracting while driving. So I just shut it off and then when I make a call on my cell it comes back on and starts it all over again. Kinda like the car is possessed. I did contact Chrysler Care line at 1-800-992-1997. They asked me for my VIN number and had me verify my address. They did open a case number for me and I am supposed to take to a dealer and get it evaluated and then call them back. I did notice online a lot of other people having the same issue.

Touch screen is delaminating which does not allow you to access operating functions. The screen has ghost touch's which it does all on its own. The ghosting changes screen functions continuously. Annoying and a safety hazard.

My radio console is starting to delaminate causing my console to constantly be jumping around and unable to use. Jeep dealership is aware of the problem. It poses as a threat for daily driving to hands free options as well as unable to use my navigation features, climate settings and most anything dealing with the touchscreen. This issue needs to be recalled or fixed.

Uconnect infotainment screen is delaminating. The layers of the screen are coming apart internally and forming what looks like a large bubble. This is causing buttons to get pressed by themselves, with no human interaction. The faulty screen is extremely distracting while trying to drive, especially at night, and causes a great safety hazard. The screen controls many things in the vehicle including radio, navigation, HVAC, phone calls, etc.

The speed control malfunctioned. the vehicle was in drive not moving when it started accelerating on its own. This malfunction could cause serious injury or death . There was no indication of a problem prior to the failure. I shifted to park and shut off the engine.

Unknown The display panel lamination is becoming unlaminated and my phone display calls the right number but displays the wrong contact picture and disconnects from Bluetooth randomly which causes unsafe conditions where I have to take focus off of driving to correct which means in that moment I am no longer operating hands free which defeats the purpose of hands free operations. The date below is not correct for it is like I said random. But the form made me choose a date.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the infotainment screen had started to delaminate. Due to the failure, various infotainment screen features would perform random functions independently while the vehicle was in operation. The contact stated that the defect was distracting while driving. The manufacturer of the infotainment screen was notified of the failure and informed him that the cost of the repair would only be covered for original vehicle owner. The contact stated that he was not the original owner of the vehicle; therefore, he did not qualify for the repair. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

UConnect stereo face is delaminating which started about 20 months ago ( when Covid caused labor shortages and very long waits to get to a dealer) and is getting worse. This is causing the stereo to change stations, make outgoing phone calls, hanging up on calls, disconnecting the phone, powering itself on and off, loss of Navigation, not to mention the loss of heated seats and steering wheel. I tried calling FCA and the woman (Wendy) was just not wanting to hear anything other than to tell me to take it to a dealer. RUDE !! She refused to transfer me to her supervisor... This is a VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE with this stereo. My wife is the driver of this vehicle and I do not want her in an unsafe condition. Of course a Dealer wants the vehicle for an entire day instead of taking 15 seconds to walk out and look at the display and verify that it is in fact the KNOWN ISSUE and then order the stereo and make yet another appointment maybe months later with the parts shortages everywhere, leaving my wife to continue driving the vehicle in the unsafe condition. PLEASE issue a RECALL for this KNOWN problem... Thank You.

The uconnect radio screen is delaminating making the screen go crazy. turning things on and off. Verry unsafe while driving

U-Connect 8.4 screen has delaminted causing functions such as navigation, radio, back up, telephone to constantly change while driving. The screen keeps changing while driving which is a risk during driving since we need such apps as navigation to drive. This causes us to constantly take our eyes off the road and fix the screen. This happen as often as 40 times per minute. Extremely dangerous and distracting. My Jeep is a 2018 an the delamination started at about 35,000 with no issues other than delamination. At about 42,000 mile the delamination is more severe and very dangerous and distracting to the driver. Now my vehicle has 42,800 miles and I cannot drive it fearing an accident. I called the dealer they said it is out of warranty. This is a common problem I have researched with Jeep U connect 8.4 screens for 2017 & 2018 model years I have a video of this happening and it's scary. I am no longer driving my car until I can have it fixed

Infotainment, HVAC car control screen de-lamination. Screen bubbling up and randomly selecting functions that are not user selected. Like ghost button presses randomly while driving the car.

The Uconnect has delimanted and is causing the display to jump around. Driving on the expressway the back-up camera kept coming on, the heat and warming features jump around, the Uconnect makes calls, it has tried calling the SOS number. This is a known issue and Jeep should be working with their customers to fix.

Leather dash is delaminating. You issues service/recall repair for 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2019 for same issue. This has not been resolved issue is all over the internet and owners are furious with fca for not fixing the issue. Seems to happen just outside of warranty around 42000-60000 miles. Mine was at 42500. I don’t know what to do. This is getting into my lower part of windshield impeding my vision outside my windshield. The service/recall needs to be extended to include subsequent vehicles with leather dash boards. From 2014-present.

The screen on the car’s infotainment system is delaminating and I cannot use the touch screen in the delaminated areas. This is preventing hands-free capabilities while driving since touch is the only way to navigate the system and posing a safety hazard. It is preventing access to the federally mandated backup camera and vehicle controls. The touch screen will sometimes “ghost touch” options without the user touching the screen, causing the system to randomly turn on the radio, make calls, activate climate control, and more. It is progressively getting worse and is present in many other 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees. It is a manufacturing defect causing distractions while driving and should be recalled.

The touch screen on the center console of the vehicle is delaminating. The digitizer is peeling off of the screen at the top edge. This causes phantom touches on the display, causing pop-ups to appear at random, sometimes back to back in a short time. Most notably, the clock at the top-center of the display is experiencing phantom touches which causes a pop-up asking if I would like to configure the clock. This pop-up obscures most of the screen and does not go away unless dismissed by the driver or a passenger. This issue is distracting for the driver, and blocks access to digital buttons used to control function of the car, as well as other systems like the onboard navigation. The component has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The delamination began in the top two corners of the screen. In the span of about two weeks the entire top edge of the digitizer has peeled away from the screen and it continues to peel off downwards. This issue first manifested while the car was parked outside on a hot day, and I believe the summer heat has exacerbated the issue.

8.4 radio screen is delaminating, the delaminating and causing safety issues while driving. If cold out the heated seats stay on even after warming up, cannot turn off due to screen ghosting/flickering. I purchased to Jeep brand new from Military Auto Sells in South Korea. Tried to get it repaired here in Korea under my warrantee, was told it did not fall under my warrantee. FYI, My actual address is as below (Not California), no option for Military living living overseas. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Where to start. Display module glue is falling apart. Can no longer use my screen due to poor glue adhesion. All ADAS systems malfunctioning: FCW, LKA, Automatic Emergency Breaking, Blind Spot Warning, ACC, Rear Cross Traffic Warning systems do not work. Overall bad build quality and cannot use safety features.

My pre-owned 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Trailhawk is unsafe and unreliable because the vehicle ** would not start ** on three occasions within 18 months of ownership. Also, the "auto start" feature on the key fob works intermittently. Thankfully, I was in safe locations when the problems occurred, but two of those locations were in public, away from home. Also, the dashboard has indicator lights that come on randomly such as engine or start/stop or "check air suspension" or check ABS. The dealer has not been able to find or diagnose the problem, yet I keep paying out of pocket fees. My problems would occur with no warning, so there would be no time to get help. I contacted Chrysler on 8/8/22 and they were no help; they just directed me back to a dealer to pay another out-of-pocket diagnostic fee. They expressed no concern for my safety, did not acknowledge my frustration, and said a supervisor was not available to speak to me. All recall work was completed prior to my owning the vehicle. I do not trust my own vehicle and I need to travel frequently through desolate and arduous terrain. I am likely going to get rid of the vehicle because (1) I don't trust Chrysler or government systems to help me in the timeframe that I need help, (2) I need to do my job and have a peace of mind, and (3) I need to know that I and my family will be safe.

The radio goes in and out and the wipers do not clean the glass streak

My mileage is less than 36,000 and the radio is delaminating and it’s causing random buttons to be pushed. I’m not able to turn the screen off because with the “ghost button pushing” it just turns back on. It make multiple unwanted phone calls at any given time. I work in emergency dispatch and therefore my recents are going to be my job and it’s ghost dialing, possibly causing actual emergencies to be unanswered because of my call. Cargo temperature can fluctuate from the ghost button pushing. Random things going on and because Jeep is refusing to replace, out of pocket close to $2000.00. Come on Jeep, fix an ongoing problem with your product.

Radio screen is becoming delaminated. The radio screen will now just randomly select anything on the screen without me touching it. It has tried calling 911, it will turn my heated seats on during the summer, it will go on the navigation screen and keep selecting a new location to the point that it zooms out so far that s globe is shown on the screen and the globe just spins as the screen keeps selecting random locations all over the world. All while I’m driving. It is extremely distracting. I am unable to turn my screen off so I don’t have to see this occur out of the corner of my eye while I drive to work, but it just automatically turns my screen back on. My vehicle is only 4 years old and under 45,000, but my radio is completely junked and is becoming a huge distraction as I’m driving. The dealership I purchased my jeep from told me this is not the first instance they have heard of this, but the other vehicles had still been under their warranty period so they did not have to file a complaint.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the radio and A/C would activate independently. The check engine and ABS warning lights were illuminated. The contact's husband replaced the auxiliary battery. While driving, the vehicle stalled but did not turn off. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was next towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery and radio needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 33,273.

There is an ongoing malfunction with the infotainment screen. While driving, it causes the heated seats to turn on, the heat to turn on and increase to hot, the radio to change stations randomly every 3-5 seconds, the placing of phone calls people randomly & repeatedly, the navigation to repeatedly leave the map so that it doesn't work, and the backup camera to come on and stay on while driving forward. All these things are extremely distracting while driving causing it to be very dangerous, especially on the highway or when many other cars are present. The problem has been reproduced at the dealer. They tried to update the software for the infotainment system, but this did not fix the problem. Also, the screen is delaminating which could be a part of the problem. The problem has not been confirmed by police, insurance reps, or manufacturer. There were no warning lamps/messages prior to the failure. The incidents first began about 9 months or more ago.

UConnect screen. just started “ghost touching”. While driving down the road, the screen continually jumps around, never stopping. Backup camera came on while driving 55 mph. Heated seats kept coming on. AC was on, but transferred to heater on its own. I had to pull over because of the distractions. Was told, and read on forums, that this was a very common problem with this vehicle. There were no warnings before this happened. I am scheduling an appt with Jeep dealership. I was told since car was out of warranty I would probably have to pay out of pocket. Seems there should be a recall since they know this defect exists, and could cause wrecks.

The Uconnect control screen is delaminating and creating random distractions. Examples, changing volume, random calls, screen changing on its own, etc. It is very startling when you are driving and screen randomly changes or volume blares or blower suddenly turns on. Dealership confirmed delaminating but will not cover the repair because 3 year warranty expired. Only 9,000 miles on vehicle. Jeep knows they put faulty components in their vehicles and are unwilling to take responsibility. Screen started to delaminate over a year ago and dealership said not to worry about it. Now the delaminating has gotten far worse and random crazy things happen unexpectedly while driving. Now I’m told to fix Jeeps manufacturers defect, I have to pay over $2000 out of pocket. This should be unacceptable to allow Jeep to do this. I’m afraid to let my wife drive the vehicle because when it acts up, it will scare you and possibly cause you to react badly and could cause an accident

Infotainment screen started Delaminating for no apparant reason causing "touches" to places on the screen. These "touches" change the radio, make unwanted phone calls, turn on heated seats, mess with the clock, etc. and most importantly cause hands free phone options to not work making it unsafe or the driver. Forums from Dodge and Jeep prove to show that this is a major recurring issue on 2018 Jeep/Ram vehicles.

Infotainment system has multifocal ghost-touch inputs. The screen will randomly start activating car systems (calls, directions, change temp etc.) through the center console touch-screen. It is as if the screen has a mind of its own. The center console with pick a point and constantly push that point over and over again until you stop and turn off the car for several hours. You cannot disable it and it is a danger while driving. (This has happened at least 2 dozen times)

The UConnect touch screen is delaminating and causing the radio to “ghost touch” things on its own. For example, while I am driving it will call random people, turn on the heated seat, change radio stations, redirect the map, turn up the heat in the summer time, etc. This is a major safety concern as it causes huge distractions while driving. Unfortunately, this seems to be a common issue among Jeep owners.

The screen in my jeep is delaminating. This is a widely known issue with more than 200 complaints online and a class act just beginning. I have called a spoken with jeep multiple times trying to get mine replaced but they refuse. They say that because I did not buy warranty on the screen and also because I am not the first owner that they are not going to cover the cost of replacing it. This is a very big safety hazard as multiple people have reported there screens calling 911, turning the radio volume up to full blast, and not allowing the driver to control the AC/heat.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available. The contact stated that a repair has not be made nor are the parts available yet. No help from the manufacturer has been made either. The vehicle is still operational but the contact does not feel comfortable driving it. Also, the warranty is almost up.

U-Connect screen is delaminating causing visibility issues and occasionally will change settings on the screen causing distractions. No report filed nor inspections done at this time.

My u-connect screen is delaminating and the glue is leaking out. This is causing the radio/MP3/GPS guidance to constantly change settings, stations & songs and causing me to play with it constantly while driving. It did put me in a situation once while driving in an unfamiliar area where I had to reset the map display like every 10 seconds to find my way out. I now use my old Garmin. Several times I almost ran into a vehicle ahead of me or started drifting into the other lane from the distraction. I now leave the entire radio off unless I want to change my heat/AC/fan settings.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the navigation screen was delaminating. The contact stated that the failure caused the screen to flicker. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure had caused the touchpad to operate independently. The contact stated that the delamination also caused the touchpad to change the address on the GPS while driving, which was distracting to her. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

The touch screen, infotainment system began to delaminate over a year ago and started experiencing phantom touches when the radio was on (station changes, playlist changes). This has gotten increasingly worse and the heat, AC, and backup camera now turning on and off, uncontrollably.

I purchased the vehicle Aug 2021- I noticed the delaminating on the App Screen- I was told they would fix it- dropped off a week later, they called and said they would not fix- it was cosmetic… also said it would not affect the function of the radio or apps.. 3 months later- radio would shut down as it please, blue screen of death.. now we are at the point my seat warmers come on when they want. Navigation doesn’t have a clue.. and it randomly calls people- I turn it off- it turns itself back on— my biggest concern is the timing started 3 months after purchase and the seat warmers this is dangerous- not to mention I was lied to! I am surprised there was not a recall- there are negative things about this all over the internet.. obviously this is a known problem with this the 2018 screen. They keep attempting to put it through my extended warranty- they say no also..

The display monitor at the front dash is delaminating and has progressively gotten worse. You could see a clear line where there was a start of separation in the screen, that has spread to a large portion of the screen. This causes the screen to apply pressure against itself, pressing buttons on its own and taking actions not wanted by the driver. I’ve had it close out GPS while driving through a busy city. It has called 911 when I had my phone connected. It has turned the heated seats on and off and adjusted the air settings. I cannot use hands free options. This is a major distraction while driving and you cannot even turn the monitor off due to it turning itself back on. This is a safety hazard and a quick google search will show that this is a common problem!

Infotainment screen turning itself on and changing displays without interaction distracting the driver. Jeep says there is no safety recall so they are unable to do anything to help without requiring me to purchase a full new radio unit for nearly $2000.

Infotainment center touch screen randomly switching screens distracting the driver, and making it difficult to access controls for the safety features in the settings due to random phantom clicks on the screen.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - Main infotainment screen. Yes, it’s available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - The screen is delaminating at the top left corner and moving across the screen. Eventually it will prevent me from using the touch technology on the screen appropriately, not allow me to visibly see the backup camera, and activate features I didn’t select. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - I told the dealer when I was there and they said my only option was to replace the whole unit out of pocket. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - No.

8.4 inch screen in jeep is ghost touching buttons switching from different settings automatically. Screen will turn on and off different features automatically to include back up camera, climate control, radio and Bluetooth. This is a safety concern because it requires me to constantly turn on and off settings that it is automatically switching between. I have yet to take the vehicle into a dealer but have talked to the dealer and jeep customer service and they are aware of the issue due to its frequency. The vehicle has not been inspected yet but problem is common and dealer and manufacturer are aware of the issue from the many different cars with the problem. Prior to the screen automatically activating different features the screen had began to delaminate.

Touchscreen is delaminating on the Uconnect system.

The entertainment center screen is becoming delaminated and has randomly activates a touch, causing the screen to switch rapidly through different menus without anyone physically touching it. This causes a severe distraction when driving and renders the screen unusable (which is not just entertainment, but also contains navigation, climate control, hands-free information, etc).

Radio changing stations on own and clock glitching!! asking for you want to change with constant glitching!!

The UConnect display on my vehicle is phantom pressing buttons, going to different screens, turning things on and off as I drive. Yesterday, I was put in a EXTREMELY unsafe situation with my vehicle where the UConnect screen turned off my blind spot detection. I was unaware until I attempted to merge into another lane and hit another car!!! I called UConnect and Jeep and they told me they won’t do anything because I’m not the first owner of the car and that it can’t be replaced but for 1,000 of dollars. I feel like this should be repaired by Courtesy because this is a safety issue.

The screen on the infotainment system starts starts clicking randomly by itself, causing a huge distraction while driving. It started three years into ownership of the vehicle, which I purchased brand new, when I noticed a bubble and occasionally would click random buttons by itself. The bubble is now bigger and the random clicks happen 100% of the time as soon as the car is turned on. It will randomly call people, or change my location while using the navigation, which I have to click the relocate button. This will go on forever until I turn off the screen, therefore I have to use my phone. There are plenty of complaints from other Jeep users with the same issue. The cause is the screen adhesive delaminates. This is a huge safety issue that needs to get fix asap. Unfortunately, Jeep charges a lot of money to replace a defective unit.

My radio has failed just 4 years 2 months after purchase. It skips all over the place and then the navigation comes on without me engaging it and it is a huge distraction when I am trying to concentrate on the road. I bought this vehicle brand new!!! Now I’m scared to death driving it with all these distractions especially on a very busy highway.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, she rear-ended another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact hit her head and her left leg on the steering wheel. The other driver was treated at the scene for unknown injuries. The contact sought medical attention at the hospital; no injuries were treated. A police report was filed. The contact was instructed by the police officer that she was able to drive the vehicle home; however, several warning lights appeared on the instrument panel. As she attempted to resume normal driving, the vehicle downshifted upon the depression of the accelerator pedal; she then pulled over and had the vehicle towed to her home. The next day, the vehicle was initially towed to an independent mechanic; but was then towed to a second independent mechanic by her insurance where the vehicle was deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and an investigation was performed on the vehicle; the investigation concluded that since the brakes were depressed, the vehicle was not traveling at a rate of speed for the airbags to deploy. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

My 2018 jeep grand cherokee stirling. My radio screen is changing songs/station and calling people on its own. infotainment issue.

Screen first started delaminating after 2 years / 18000 miles, but remained functioning so didn't act at the time. This week (3.5 years / 31000 m) while on a roadtrip the touch screen started randomly 'pushing' options on the screen. It started heating the seats, dialled 911 and started changing the navigation, all while I was on the highway with no way to exit. Had to make an emergency stop alongside the highway where it was not safe to stop but could not disable the screen or stop it from dialing random phone numbers. Had to break off my vacation and turn back home. Car is now in the shop (Jeep Kearny Mesa San Diego) for diagnosis. Service specialist tells me it could be a 3000 dollar repair out of pocket. I bought this car new at this dealership, but if this is not covered I'll not buy FCA again.

The radio/phone/climate control display is de-laminating, and I'm starting to get "ghost" presses which can accidentally make phone calls, adjust the climate control, etc. This can cause distracted driving. This is being reported widely online and dealerships are aware of the issue. https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/display-screen-starting-to-delaminate.224391/ https://www.jeepforum.com/threads/uconnect-delaminating.4439701/

My Jeep Grand Cherokee (2018) Unlimited has a screen delamination issue where underneath the LCD screen there's a liquid leaks out causing phantom touches on the screen resulting in various apps and settings get opened and changed. This seriously caused safety issues as the settings get changed and distract the driver. Random phone calls would be placed, map settings would change and redirect. I have researched on various Jeep forums and there are also multiple cases of Jeep owners who encounter similar issues. This is a safety concern and Jeep should issue a recall to fix the issue. I also believe this is an issue across multiple products from FCA. Here are the links to issues being reported by Jeep Owners: https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/display-screen-starting-to-delaminate.224391/page-11#post-2021336035 https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/radio-screen.236450/#post-2021335380 https://digitizerdepot.com/blogs/posts/delamination-and-bubbling-peeling-of-8-4-uconnect-touch-screen-is-a-major-problem-on-chrysler-dodge-jeep-and-ram-vehicles https://www.jeepforum.com/threads/uconnect-delaminating.4439701/ https://www.ramforum.com/threads/8-4-uconnect-touch-screen-delaminating.162663/ Thank you for your reading and understanding. This is frustrating as Jeep ignores such a widespread issues, especially this is a safety concern. Joe

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while seated in the driver’s seat with the engine off, the driver’s seat headrest deployed without warning. The contact was struck in the head by the headrest but was not injured. The contact called the dealer and was given an appointment for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Digitizer malfunction almost caused an accident. While driving down the highway it turned the radio on full blast, started calling random people, playing games. It wouldn't respond to driver input. Nearly caused an accident as I was so startled by the loud noise, then scrambling to try to turn it off. Now all hands-free functions have to disabled because I have to keep Uconnect unit and bluetooth turned off. I've researched online and find likely caused by screen delamination, and that it's happening to many people - SOR 997163

While driving on highway climate control temperature kept switching, and would not allow me to put defroster on making visibility increasingly difficult. Also the vehicles screen will randomly display the backup camera while driving at high speeds. This is all due to a known lamination issue with this model jeep.

When I brought the vehicle to Florida the screen on the navigation system delaminated. It causes the navigation screen to make random phone calls when it’s turned on and it also will not display the navigation map in a way that is usable. It is a defect caused by the heat- there were no issues until I brought the car to FL. Additionally, when it’s cool outside, the system can be used even with the screen being delaminated. But as soon as it heats up it is not usable and actually is dangerous because the random phone calls while driving is very distracting.

About a week ago my screen started pushing/clicking/changing screens by itself. The screen is going crazy, switching calls, randomly calling people, scrolling through contacts, pushing buttons all over the place, changing songs, turning seat warmers off and on. I took this to my dealership and they confirmed it was a defect in the radio and to replace it would cost me over $1,000. After more research it turns out there are many other people with this same problem for the 2018 model jeeps. This is a serious safety concern as you're trying to drive down the road and can't pay attention because all sorts of buttons are randomly being pushed and the screen is going crazy back and forth to other screens. I would hope that Jeep would correct this issue at their expense as it is a defect on their end and causing serious safety concerns to not just me but other drivers with the same issue.

The screen display spontaneously jumps around erratically as if you are touching the screen. Others have reported this as screen "delamination". Without warning and not touching anything else in the vehicle the screen jumps radio stations, from AM to FM to SXM, or changes the temperature controls, flips through the applications screens, and has even shown the backup camera while driving. It is random, and therefore not able to recreate. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. The only "indicator" was a corner of the display looking like a protective layer was peeling off within a year or so of purchase. This area has continued to grow from the upper right of the screen downward and to the left. Perhaps better explained by picturing water seeping through under glass. Car was purchased in fall of 2017. It is extremely distracting while driving as radio stations change quickly as what is being displayed jumping all over the place. I

The radio screen is constantly blinking on and off, making phone calls through my connection with my phone - without being prompted, and flashing constantly turning the audio on and off, adjusting the seat controls, adjusting the audio volume. I am unable to power it off, because it turns itself back on. It's extremely unsafe and distracting to the driver. Every electronic thing in the car is controlled through this and I am unable to control it at all. This is all called by the delamination of the screen, a known problem to Jeep, and I have reached out to them with concerns. They are unwilling to voluntarily recall or repair or replace the radio. I have almost had multiple accidents while trying to power off the loud, flashing, problematic screen - not to mention that I am unable to control the seat and temperature controls, among other things.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the engine was overheating. Additionally, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the contact was notified of a failure with cylinder #5. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle operated as needed; however, the sensor software update failed to perform as needed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

The Uconnect system is malfunctioning. This seems to be a manufacturing defect, which is known to be quite common in Chrysler vehicles. The problem causes their navigation system to be inoperable, the system to dial 911 voluntarily, the back up camera to be inoperable at times, the climate control to be inoperable as well as various other issues which have become a safety hazard while operating the vehicle. The problem has been reported to the dealer as well as well as confirmed by the dealer.

Beam from headlight bulb causes headlight lens to deteriorate and turn foggy

The vehicle stalled while driving on a busy road. It sounded like it couldn’t shift gears. It also accelerated once I tried to move it to a safer location on the side of the road. It was very scary not knowing if I could get out of the stalling situation in the middle of traffic. The unexpected acceleration upon trying to park it safely was also terrifying.

The UConnect/Infotainment screen is delaminating, causing 'ghost' and random changes to the the hands-free functionality while driving, overriding driver selections and causing potentially unsafe driving. This delaminating is a known issue, but is being ignored by Jeep/FCA.

When driving the screen keeps going to clock settings, when using navigaition, radio, or anything. Apparently the screen lamination is separating and causing the screen to freak out. no amount of tapping or restarting helps.

Radio is randomly accessing stations, backup camera came on while driving, seat heaters engaging on their own. Last night was the last straw when it dialled 911 automatically...

The center 8.5" Information/Entertainment touch screen is delaminating. The delamination is creating "ghosting" of the system causing cycling through various screens and applications. This is VERY distracting and dangerous by removing eyes off the road to see what is happening. If navigating with built-in Nav or via external (Apple Play), the ghosting changes destinations, cancels navigation and/or changes displays. When occurring at key turn points, diverts driver focus from the road to the screen. If they system is in radio, the ghosting will cycle through every radio station randomly, distracting from the road and creating distracting noise/sound. I have mentioned this to two separate Jeep dealers. They state it occurred out of warranty and it will cost me over $1000 to fix it. I am on a Jeep forum where this is happening to many other 2018 8.5" touchscreen systems.

The jeeps radio failed that controls safety features in the vehicle this was caused by a delaminating touch screen. The touch screen would select options on its own including safety and driving settings due to this defect. It is widely posted about in 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles with this display. Mopar customer support denied the claim to reimburse me for the radio because I was not the original owner. As the second owner, ive been put in a financial loss for a 1,000 dollar radio that controls all the safety features in the vehicle.

Uconnect screen with radio/nav/driver controls is delaminating, causing screens to change and overriding all driver selections. Jeep customer care says the only option is for owners to pay $1,000 to replace the unit with a dealer. This Jeep Overland is a 2018, and the problem appears to be endemic among Jeeps. It creates serious safety issues when the unit overrides driver choices, and is also distracting as the unit beeps and switches back and forth among options.

Touch screen in Jeep is delaminating. The delaminating has now caused the screen to malfunction. The screen is unusable and continues to cycle on its own through different stations, different calls, the seat controls, the back up camera (which is very disorienting on the highway) and through the apps.

Uconnect system screen is manually making phone calls, switching on and off rear camera, changing settings, constantly switching back and forth as if someone was making changes. Unable to use the uconnect system at all now, this has been getting worse since starting and now I have to turn off the entire system to drive.

I bought my car used last year with a small bubble on the Uconnect screen. Jeep is aware of the problem and called it delamination. I am not worried about the aesthetics, but it is not safe. I am assuming that the pressure built up between the screens causes the "buttons" to act like they are being pressed and the screen is turning features on and off on the car. It changes radio stations, turns the seat warmers on which I can not turn off and it gets to hot, and my main worry is it is going to hit the emergency services button when there is not an emergency. There is no way to disable the screen. It is not safe and very distracting while operating the vehicle. I called Chrysler/Jeep and they are aware of the problem but will not call in a "good will warranty" because I bought the vehicle used. I researched the internet and this affecting many consumers in many makes and model years. The repair is costly. I am writing hoping that a recall is issued because driving while you car is turning functions on and off is distracting and dangerous. I appreciate any help you may offer.

Electronic radio unit constantly flips around to different areas beeping all the time. I think it is called phantom touches. It will change radio channels, affects climate control by turning up heat to 82 degrees, turns on backup camera while driving down the road at 70 miles an hour, constantly changes radio stations, doesn't allow you to use navigation system, plus many other things. I believe this is a known issue as I have seen many complaints on the internet and my dealership also has customers complaining about their cars. I have also made my dealership aware of the issue. They say there is nothing they can do as there has been no recall. There needs to be a recall on these as it is very dangerous to be driving when these things are occurring. Very distracting and you are unable to do anything about it. Sometimes you have to pull over and shut the car off and turn it back on to see if you can correct it but many times it keeps on doing the same thing.

The vehicle's LCD screen has become delaminated which causes the control of the radio, air conditioning, navigation, and other features controlled by the "radio" portion of the car to become dysfunctional. The car will randomly beep, change air temperatures, start navigation, cause the loss of hands-free communication. This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio (volume, etc.). This appears from Dodge/Chrysler Forums to be an issue among a large group of Dodge/Chrysler Year Model 2018 owners.

The battery under my passenger seat caught on fire. The car was completely turned off and parked in my driveway. When I went to leave I opened the car door and black smoke was rolling out. 30 minutes prior I drove the car and there was no warning lights or issues. It was driving like normal. The car is currently being inspected by Jeep and my insurance. My husband and I's safety would have been at risk if we did not catch the fire as soon as we did, not only our lives but it could have hurt our neighbors who live close. As we were outside working when the fire started you could not smell or see the smoke coming out of the car.

The uconnect8.4" radio touch screen has started to delaminate causing the radio and other controls such as the seat heaters and air conditioning/defrost controls to act erratically casing a distraction while driving the car.

The touchscreen on our Jeep has begun malfunctioning in ways that st dangerous and distracting. A staff member dealer service center and the electronic store with whom we discussed it said that this was a common problem with this car. But it is not covered by the limited warranty at this juncture and will be over 1200 dollars with labor. It seems more like a defect. Particularly in humid or times when there is a change in temperature, the touch screen begins self triggering, acting as if it's being rapidly and randomly pressed hundreds of times, triggering screen functions, dialing actual calls, changing radio stations, changing climate temperatures, turning on seat heating, etc. This is very distracting while driving. In addition it means that the climate controls on the car cannot be used. It appears that the touch screen glass has slightly separated from the underlying screen in the right upper quadrant, but it's hard to tell. If this is happening on many jeeps, it is a manufacturing issue and there should be a recall.

The A/C evaporator was leaking refrigerant. Have had issues 4 times already and have taken it to the dealership to have it repaired. The aspiration of refrigerant is dangerous. This began after one year of owning the vehicle at 8k miles.

Car was parked on a slight hill and was turned off, car then rolled about 2 feet down the driveway. Car did stop on it own luckily. Incident was captured on home surveillance camera. Vehicle has not been checked by a mechanic.

The component that is malfunctioning is the film behind the UConnect screen delaminating making the screen difficult to read in that area. Ensuring that the right screen icon/button is being pushed is made difficult because the screen is affected. This draws my attention away from the road in order to use the screen/the icons in the upper left corner. The problem has been confirmed as a known issue through UConnect and the Jeep Dealership and there has been a service bulletin put out for this issue (per reporting of representatives of each of the aforementioned). UConnect reps have stated they get calls regarding this regularly. Multiple instances from other Jeep/Chrysler consumers can be found on online forums. The component has been inspected and delamination was confirmed at the dealership. Due to the cost of the repair, I can not financially address this issue at this time. There are no warnings or messages related to this issue.

The radio continues to turn on and off by itself. Attempts to make phone calls when nothing was dialed. GPS turns on and off when it is not being utilized. Air and heat turns on and off when not being utilized.

The touchscreen that controls heating/air/radio/backup camera/etc... is going haywire during driving the vehicle. This causes major distraction as it is flipping to one control to the next, changing the climate controls switching the navigation system and radio stations all while driving. There is no way to turn off the touchscreen or keep it frozen so it continues to do this while the car is in use. There are no warnings and the operator is powerless to make it stop.

The Uconnect radio system is no longer functioning properly and causing a safety hazard. The system controls the climate, music functions, navigation, and back up camera. The system problems began with randomly turning the system on and off. The screen then began having a "bubble" in it. Now it randomly changes the radio stations or inputs, turns the climate system on and off, repeatedly asks to adjust the clock, prevents the use of the back up camera, and beeps loudly each time. Once the system begins malfunctioning it keeps doing it over and over again rapidly and the driver is not always able to turn the system off. The constant beeping and flashing is a serious distraction to the vehicle operator. If the system will not shut off the operator has no way to stop the distraction. Contact was made with Jeep who informed us to contact UConnect. UConnect recommended we reload the software update which did NOT correct the problem. Our mechanic recommended disconnecting the battery overnight to reset the system. This worked for 24 hours and the problem began again. After researching this issue it appears to be in multiple other Chyrsler vehicles. The level of distractions caused by this system could easily cause the driver to be distracted enough to cause a serious accident. This has been an ongoing problem for months and it continues to get worse. It most recently happened today.

Transmission failed while driving. Had someone been behind me they would have hit me. It was towed to a dealer and through the extended warranty it was deemed a faulty transmission. There was no indication of an issue until it happened. Once the transmission failed the check engine light came on.

Uconnect 8.4 has severe delamination causing bubbling and glare on the causing problems with reading the navigation map. Causing potential accident and distractions

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while working on his vehicle at a friend's home, he discovered that all of the exterior lights, except the driver’s side headlight, failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the interior lights would intermittently flash on and off without warning. The contact attempted to reset the battery; however, the failure persisted. The contact initially took the vehicle to the dealer where it was purchased; Cloninger Ford (511 Jake Alexander Blvd S, Salisbury, NC 28147) and was informed that they could not service his vehicle. The contact then called another dealer where he described the failure and was informed that the body control module was corroded and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

My radio-touch panel system worked fine up until I approached the 3rd year of ownership when I received a download directly to the vehicle and immediately after that the touch screen control panel went haywire. I find it convenient that this happened so close to the manufactures warranty being up. The download was sent directly to the car by Uconnect. The Jeep dealership told me without looking at it that it would be a $1000 to replace plus an inspection into the problem cost of like $300. They said it was a common problem and that it was not covered and that I had to leave it. I could not do that at that time, I was going on a trip. The touch panel causes "phantom touches” while driving the Jeep. The most common problem is repeatedly asking for the clock date/time input regardless if you try to close it out, it comes back and does not allow you to use the other components of the touch screen. It is extremely distracting and it beeps repeatedly over the radio or phone usage, keeping you from being able to concentrate on anything but the rapid beeping and flashing on the screen. Sometimes I cannot even make calls because the phone system will not work, or it will randomly call people in my contacts without me touching the phone or the touch screen. It is startling to a driver when a phone starts calling random contacts and you push the red hang up button and it does not work. This system controls literally everything (radio, heat, AC, defrost, phone usage, navigation system) and can be very distracting to the driver while driving. I bought this vehicle for the sole purpose of it’s great safety review (at that time) and in my experience, it has been anything but safe.

I OWN A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE SCREEN IS DELAMINATING AND CALLING RANDOM NUMBERS ON MY PHONE ALONG WITH PRESSING RANDOM BUTTONS ON THE SCREEN WHEN IT IS CONNECTED TO BLUETOOTH. THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE IT TAKES MY ATTENTION OFF THE ROAD TO TRY TO HANG UP ON THE CALLS AND FIX THE SCREEN. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO FIX IT OR CALL A RECALL. IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS GOING ON WITH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE MODELS 2018 AND ON.THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH CAUSED MY THIS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. MANY JEEP OWNERS IVE SPOKEN TOO HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALSO RIGHT OUT OF THE FACTORY. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT IS THE MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE PINNED ON THE CUSTOMER TO REPLACE OR FIX FOR A STEEP PRICE. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THE SCREEN TO MAKE IT DELAMINATE I DON'T EVEN TOUCH IT. THUS DEMANDING A RECALL BE ISSUED TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

There are numerous safety issues with this vehicle. The most concerning is electrical/fuel/engine relating to the TIPM. The vehicle intermittently refuses to start. The integrated fuel pump relay in the TIPM fails. This has left my wife stranded in potentially dangerous areas. It has also died while the vehicle was in motion. In addition to the TIPM issues, the digitizer of the factory radio/navigation system has delaminated from the LCD screen. The safety issues this causes are multiple: random phone calls while driving (distracting), random radio station changes (again, distracting to a driver), and an inability to properly utilize navigation (potentially dangerous if it tries to change a route and indicates last-second turns). It also prevents the driver from calling someone if they are in need of help. Not only does hands-free calling not work, but even when taking out the phone to dial, the haywire behavior of the device being connected via bluetooth makes calls difficult. These are known issues by the Jeep dealer with frequent warranty replacements admitted by the advisor and technician, yet they have been zero assistance in helping because the vehicle is out of warranty. It will require action from someone like the NHTSA to get Jeep to correct these problems for many owners. It is criminal to charge people this amount of money for a vehicle that simply doesn't do what it is supposed to do.

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee radio touch screen erratic operation touch screen unresponsive at times cannot control hvac controls to defrost windows creating a safety issue

Touchscreen is delaminating.....when this happens i have no control over the defrost which poses a serious safety hazard while driving.

Delamination of the touch screen control panel. Corner began with a small air bubble and proceeded to spread across the top and towards the bottom along the edge. Causes "phantom touches". Most common symptom is repeatedly asking for date/time input regardless if you try to close it out. It will beep repeatedly. One time the system reset itself while driving after a session of these "phantom touches". This system controls literally everything and can be very distracting to the driver while driving. Even with the 5k gold dealer warranty this is not covered. Chrysler was zero help. I see many complaints of the same exact description online. We have had this vehicle for 8 months and it's already an issue every few months. Now we are expected to shell out $1,500 for a new head unit. Not what we expected for $30k+. -ac compressor replacement (Dealer installed sterling wheel crooked doing this job and had to hold it an additional 30 hours.) -screen delamination -squeaking driverside window

My Jeep Grand Cherokee is having an issue known as "Screen Delamination". This is the radio unit and it causes "ghost touches" to happen all the time. I have done a lot of research on this issue, because Jeep will not replace the faulty unit, because I am not the original owner of the vehicle. I contacted Jeep and they told me they will not open a case for me since I was not the original owner. There are several jeep boards where owners are having the same issue. This issue causes the radio to change stations on its own, make phone calls by itself, change the settings in the system, control the AC functions. All this happens when no one is touching the screen or anything. I feel like since there have been so many complaints about this, that Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler should replace these units.

Hi My safety issue on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee radio face delaminating uncontrollably glitching screens back and forth calling sos controlling climate controls volume up and on radio switching stations etc.. Getting worse Danny

Driving about 45mph down the road and car in front of me suddenly stops. I immediately hit the brakes and had plenty of space to stop but truck wouldn't stop and brake pedal went all the way down to floor and I rear ended the car in front of me. It wasn't snowing, raining nor was the road wet but it was a cold day. Not sure why it didn't stop looking back on it felt like if there was air bubbles in the brake line which caused a delay in stopping, also remember feeling antilock brakes engaging and automatic emergency stop not braking for me when I was close to other vehicle.

The headrest popped forward unexpectedly and hit my husband in the head.

The turn signals in the front headlights have a known wiring issue and stop working. The unit is all one part, non serviceable and you have to replace the entire headlight assembly at $2055. This causes a significant safety risk to everyone on the road as you are not able to notify your signals/turns. The problem has been reproduced by the dealer, I also have video evidence as well as several others who have complained on the online forums. It has been inspected by the dealer and confirmed it was broken. No notifications that it is broken but the dash board will intermittently flash that a bulb is out. First appeared a several months ago and has become more prevalent and frequent recently.

Instrument panel/ Main display screen is delaminating. Causing inability to use navigation, seat heaters, UConnect, Apps or set any presets, media, radio or any other item from main display. Safety features from main menu are inaccessible, navigation is impeded at any moment and use of screen is unpredictable.

The radio is glitching. It’s pressing buttons on the touch screen and I’m not touching the screen.

My 2018 Jeep GC has the delaminating screen It has 88,000 miles & I was told since I am not the first owner it’s not going to be fixed. Hard to believe I paid $30,000 for a vehicle with everything to be reduced to having nothing. The screen gets very hot & sticky stuff melts onto the console!! Once a screen comes up about clock settings then nothing can be accessed. The preset radio stations randomly & constantly change, the temperature goes from hot to cold, it switches from xm to regular radio, it saves favorite songs & artists, seat warmer comes on & you cannot turn it off or down, when starting the vehicle it randomly makes phone calls from the recent list or calls the first person in my contacts list. (She is used to it, I now have to text her if I really want to call her) it beeps constantly, when trying to use hands free phone calls it switches itself to the phone and back to the car over & over & constantly hangs up the screen randomly changes to the rear camera so your whole screen is you looking behind your vehicle it constantly switches where the air is blowing from the floor to the face to the windshield back to the floor then the face then the windshield and I have asked for help from service & the dealer but nothing they didn’t even return my call. I have written letters & called every number including Chrysler cares (case# 81357273) but no one will help. When I ask why because I am the second Owner they won’t fix it & they say it’s company policy. So if I was the first owner they would fix it under Chrysler Good Will. It’s been a year. Very disappointed in Chrysler & Jeep. After I purchased mine a co-worker purchased one & my son but I will never recommend Jeep again. How is a defect the first, second, or third or twentieth persons fault? The company policy excuse is just their way of not having to fix it. I wish I would have sold it back to them when they offered after Covid started. I asked my family to sue if I get hurt I have documented it ALL!!!

At less than 30,000 miles, the Jeep Grand Cherokee's touch screen display malfunctioned and began acting on it's own. The primary issues that I have used and been impacted by are the system changes radio stations and inputs and changes destination points on the GPS, without selection from the driver or any occupant. These are both audio and visual changes that occur sporadically and are extremely distracting and call for the driver's attention to attempt to remedy the defect while driving. If the driver is following the navigation but then the screen changes to other displays and information, this conflict can easily cause a crash on top of being a nuisance. I have read several other similar complaints that seem to be going unaddressed by the manufacturer and are being identified as "delamination" of the vehicle's display unit, which houses information, entertainment, navigation, and other other digital/automated controls.

I purchased the vehicle new and it now has 29500 miles on it. The screen for the navigation (which controls stereo, climate, phone, and everything else) started delaminating. When the screen starts doing phantom touches it is very distracting to the driver. Also, as the glue melts, it leaks onto the wiring of all the components under the screen including the AC, all the parking sensor and traction control off controls.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the infotainment screen had begun to delaminate which had rendered the screen inoperable. Due to the failure, the contact could not use the front or the rear defrosters. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where he was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and was referred to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

My screen in the truck is constantly touching other functions on the screen. It’s a safety hazard because I can only use the navigation for 2 mins and then I have to try and fight with the screen so that it can stay on navigation. It reroutes me. Turns on the heated seats, mess with the settings and etc. it’s the stock radio not aftermarket. I seen multiple complaints regarding this matter.

Sometimes when I try to fill the gas tank on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, it acts like it is full and will keep tripping the safety in the gas pump nozzle and shut off the gas flow. It acts randomly at the same or different gas stations without any warning. Occasionally gas will spray out of the tank, risking my safety and the safety of others near the pump. The only way I can fill the tank when this happens is to turn the nozzle sideways and fill it very slowly. I have checked a car complaint site on the internet and found numerous complaints about the same problem, dating back to 2018.

Afternoon 28/11/2022. On I275 North near Exit 50. Tha cruise control turned on and the car started speeding up. I almost ran into the back of a truck in Front of me. I applied the brake and the cruise control turned off. Also the radio won't stay on station and occasionally the seat heaters come on by without touching any controls.

The infotainment screen is delaminating and the digitizer is separating from the screen. Where separated, the screen prompts the driver to change settings, arbitrarily changes settings, or changes radio settings and renders the screen unusable. The driver is unable to adjust important settings on the vehicle and sometimes has to turn the screen off totally which renders the backup camera useless. The constant prompting to change settings or arbitrarily changing settings or making unwanted phone calls is distracting to the driver and draws his attention from driving. I have contacted FCA(Jeep’s parent company) and they are aware of the problem but have declined to address it.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while, driving at various speeds the vehicle stalled on multiple occasions. There were no warning lights illuminated. The pull over, shift to park, and restart vehicle message was displayed. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and he was informed there were diagnostic trouble codes for the brake and accelerator pedal however, the mechanic was unable to determine the exact cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was concerned about having an accident. The manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 37,007.

Our 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee which has less than 16,000 miles has developed an unusual problem. The uconnect screen console with radio will no longer stay on any station, instead it jumps from station & goes from xm, fm, to am, all on it's own. Others have reported rear canera locks up, stalling has occured, bluetooth phone connection begins making calls fron the contacts list and seat warmer & cooler go on & off. Jeep is aware of these problems & more. Jeep & our dealership says they are aware of these problems. They say it is caused by delamination, that is the glue used to mount the screen & cosole is melting and dripping down on connections on the moterboard causing much erratic behaviour. This collection of problems is certainly a safety issue. However, at this time Jeep has not set a recall. It looks as though Jeep has decided to just stick it to their loyal customers and let them pay up to $ 2,000 for replacing the console. Jeep offers a two year warranty but I am unable to find out if these problems have been addressed or are we getting another screen & console with the same problems. I am trying to find a way to contact Jeep directly but having no luck so far.

The radio had a delamination issues cause if the screen to go haywire. If turned on the radio would automatically flip through all the settings on the head unit. From headed seats to navigation to music it rendered the entire unit unusable. It might as well came without a radio or navigation because it couldn’t be used.

The contact's daughter owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle had been serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V332000 (Electrical System, Vehicle Speed Control) in November 2018. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

8.4" Uconnect LCD display is de-laminating, resulting in loss of system controls, backup camera and erratic behavior. This is distracting and can create a dangerous situation while operating the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V699000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact called the local dealer who stated that the parts were not available. The contact was placed on the waiting list. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The touch screen interface of the U-Connect system on my Jeep is delaminating from the screen behind it. This has resulted in bubbles forming in the screen and the system is now registering ghost touches on the interface. This is creating a very distracting and unsafe driving experience as the system constantly jumps around and flashes different screens while the vehicle is in motion.

The glue between the radio and the touchscreen melts and makes the radio perform phantom changes. This is a distraction to the driver and the cause a major safety issue. Also, as the glue melts, it leaks onto the wiring of all the components under the screen including the AC, all the parking sensor and traction control off controls

The primary display used for the backup camera, radio functions, hands free mobile devices, climate controls, etc. is delaminating which causes a potential unsafe situation. 1) while backing up the display causes a reflection that induces blind spots 2) button presses are missed or completely ignored which causes the operator, if it's the driver, a lengthy distraction thus leading to a potential safety hazard while operating the vehicle

The screen that has all of the controls for my vehicle has starting what they are calling "delamination" to where it is separating and randomly pressing all kinds of buttons and making calls. It is turning on the rear camera, adjusting the temperature, radio station volume, and is constantly beeping. It is very dangerous and a huge distraction. If you press the button for the screen to turn off, it just turns it right back on because of the screen issue. I have reported this issue to the Jeep dealership where I purchased the vehicle as well as directly to Jeep manufacturer. Both indicated, as does a general internet search, that this is a well known issue occurring in these vehicles. When the radio starts blaring and the seat cooler turns on and a random phone call is made through bluetooth, this is incredibly dangerous and distracting to me as a driver.

My radio is experiencing delamination and I am able to get my vehicle serviced if needed. The delamination causes my screen to freeze and I am sometimes unable to control my air conditioning/heat and sometimes am unable to use my backup camera. When the screen freezes we have to unhook the battery just so the screen will go off. Most times I’m unable to do anything on the screen.

When it rains, blindspot goes out along with passenger window function.

The LCD screen of the Audio/Navigation system is delaminating. This allowing the adhesive in the screen to leach to the bottom of the screen towards control points for several vehicle systems. This is a known issue with many FCA product lines. FCA (Mopar/Stellartis) refuse to assist with repair for out-of-warranty vehicles. I think this is a safety problem as unexpected changes/activations of various vehicle systems may lead to driver distraction and/or error. There are no warning lights or alarms associated with the problem. I am the second owner of the vehicle and I noticed the issue a few days after purchase.

Uconnect system constantly displays to change time. Not able to change time and the system constantly beeps while driving. Also it is obstructing the back up camera. Research online through Jeep forums state this is a common issues with the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Is this a recall or is a service bulletin available for this issue?

The center 8.4” UConnect touch screen /control panel’s interface has delaminated with effectively makes the federally mandated back up camera and other vehicle systems inoperable. The delamination of the touch screen causes numerous issues including screen blanking out , back up camera failure , error messages for clock that consumes the entire screen display as well as random issues with Apple Car Play and the OEM Navigation system. There is a highly distracting audible sound due to this failure /defect. This is a clear safety issue and is well documented as a common defect with 2018 Grand Cherokees in automotive forums and social media.

Uconnect screen is bubbling and delaminating. As a result it is causing the touch screen to act crazy. Back up camera will freeze and stay on screen even when not in reverse, radio will change on its own, clock setting will continue to flicker on screen, air and heat will randomly turn on and up. Entire touch screen will freeze and act up.

I purchased my 2018 Jeep Cherokee right off the dealership lot in Lynnfield MA in August of 2018. I then have had on going issues. Starting with strange squilling sound coming from back of vehicle,this was never found reason by technician but they replaced engine air filter jume 2020, then my heater wasn’t working in dec.2020, replaced motor blower with wheel, then may2021 my vehicle just shut down as I was driving on the highway to work at night no prior warnings beforehand, lucky no one was hurt towed in and no start and transmission was stuck no fuel pressure, dtc related and shorted fuel pump. Replaced module fuel pump level unit. Now just October 29,2021 my vehicle is not starting I jumped the battery and lights come on but vehicle won’t start. Dealership I purchased vehicle from won’t contact me back so I towed the vehicle to them and still no response. I’m very disappointed in Jeep I don’t feel safe or that my vehicle is not dependable and for all the money I keep putting into it I should have a dependable car.

On October 23, 2021 my daughter and I got into our vehicle a 2018 jeep grand cherokee and as I started the vehicle the passenger side headrest deployed unexpectedly striking my daughter in the back of the head causing severe pain which ultimately turn to a very bad headache , this is the second occurrence of this issue the first being back in mid 2020 on the drivers side headrest which I also sustained a very intense blow to the back unexpectedly. I also filed a report on that incident with the NHTSA. This is not acceptable and I am almost positive that their are many people out there that have experienced the same issue but have not reported it! Now being there is no recall of this issue its not right for me or anyone to have to pay out of pocket for a clearly defective issue! This repair should be the Jeep Corporation and not the consumer perhaps I should look into some Law firm for help on this matter!

Radio, is malfunctioning. Screen blinking all the time. Can not get to the control module, therefore can not get to controls, for heat, defrost ( which is safety issue) can't set back up camera. Very distracting while driving. Some of the features come on themself and you can not get them turned off. It is constantly taking your eyes off the road to focus on the screen to try to correct the issues.

Problem #1: ABS sensor malfunction on all 4 wheels causing vehicle to stall on the highway. I could not accelerate and the whole vehicle was jerking. Huge safety issue. Problem #2: The screen/radio/navigation system malfunctioned while driving. The volume was going up and down, it was calling contacts in my phone, turning on air conditioning and heater, turning on seat warmer and cooler, changing radio/ songs, disconnecting and reconnecting to different bluetooths. Also a huge safety issue, I had to pull over until it stopped. Massive distraction.

My 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee has encountered an issue that several thousand others have encountered. The UConnect screen delaminates and phantom-pushes buttons like heat, AC or changes apps like Maps while driving. This is obviously a huge safety concern especially since I'm regularly driving children. I called my local dealership and they told me to contact the FCA and open a case. They let me know that in many cases, the FCA actually covered the cost of repair since they have it well documented that this is a safety concern. I called and they told me that my warranty ended 30 days ago and that this unless it becomes a recall will fall on me even though they have acknowledged that this is a safety concern. I unfortunately do not have the $2000 in these times to cover the cost of repair for this manufacturers' defect and hope to be reimbursed at a later date. So now I am stuck with a defective safety compromising manufacturers' defect and no fix. God forbid something happens to me or my family because of this.

Issue is with Uconnect Screen that has a widely known issue of glue getting behind the screen and causing phantom inputs. Multiple issues start occurring with the screen that are very distracting while driving. Now my wife has to play with the screen to get the AC to work correctly and that's while driving. This has to be unacceptable because now you have a distracted driver have to deal with the screen but the fact EVERYONE knows this is a defect of the device. From the dealership where I bought the vehicle to the Uconnect support person who personally told me that this was ridiculous that the manufacturer has not been made to correct this even when they (Chrysler) knows this. I understand that you do not deal with shady business practices but now this has become such an issue that I believe it leads to distracted driving. That is a safety issue and that needs to be looked into by NHTSA. Unfortunately we had been dealing with this issue for a while not know what it really was and when we took our vehicle into the deal we were outside of our extended bumper to bumper warranty. The repair we have been told will cost between 1500-2000 dollars. I find this to be unacceptable especially for such a young vehicle. Thank you for your time.

8.4 Uconnect screen is delaminating

Infotainment system-System works on its own. Changes radio stations and bands at will causing driver distraction. Changes Temp/vent direction at will. Worst is that it has called 911 4 times while driving. Wont allow hands free calling or GPS entry. I have 1st dealer appointment next month as it does not seem to be a priority to dealer.

Back up camera failed to engage when I was in reverse and backing out of a parking spot. I came close to hitting a vehicle which was moving behind me. Once my vehicle was home, parked and turned off, the monitor screen remained backlit and became quite warm to the touch. No messages/warnings appeared in advance to indicate backup camera failure. I did contact our local Jeep dealer and the assistant service manager took a report upon our insistence. The vehicle was 250 miles outside of the 36,000 warranty window. They would not even look at vehicle until appt. 8 days out. We researched online and found other owners of 2018 Jeeps had the same issue and they solved it themselves by disconnecting the battery cables allowing the electric system to 'reboot'. We tried and it was successful. We were concerned not only about the safety of not having a back up camera engaged and working, but also about the continued warming of the dash area in a parked, turned off car.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently stalled and lost electrical power. The message "Check Your Transmission" appeared on the instrument panel. The contact stated he veered to the side of the road and was able to restart the vehicle after 20 minutes. The contact continued to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that no issues were found. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer Normandin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT (900 Capitol Expressway Auto Mall, San Jose, CA 95136) who diagnosed that the alternator and water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred several times while driving with the vehicle becoming overheated. The vehicle was taken to a third dealer Huffines Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Plano (4500 W Plano Pkwy, Plano, TX 75093) who could not determine the cause of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V524000 (Electrical System). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 13,500.

8.4" UConnect Display underwent delamination after only three years of normal use. The resulting "Phantom touches" have made the safety functions integrated in the Infotainment display un-useable. Dealership has failed to accept the factory defect of this product -- quote for repair is over $1,200 including parts and labor.

The radio screen is delaminating causing causing ghost touching turning heated seats on air conditioning on or off and off and turning radio stations . It is a dangerous distraction. Almost caused accident due to distraction.

The car computer screen was malfunctioning and then failed. All internal system lights warning lamps and service messages appeared and continued flashing until the battery died. I am attempting to get a dealer to inspect the vehicle. Vehicle has intermittently run; concern there could be a fire. Vehicle has left me stranded. Symptoms of the problem were failures with the vehicle entertainment system. Software would not update. Radio would not hold stations and the GPS showed the vehicle in a different area greatly distant from where it actually was. Took vehicle in for this service when the problems compounded.

The 8.4" infotainment screen has delaminated and is causing phantom button presses. Multiple functions are accessed via the infotainment screen (media, climate, comfort features, backup camera, etc) and the delimitation is creating a serious safety concern because the screen is recognizing phantom touches that are changing the radio, turning it up, turning on my backup camera, changing the climate, making phone calls, and so on. All of this occurs while driving.

The digitizer screen on the control panel delaminated, which causes multiple, repeated, continuous ghost presses. This is a problem because it makes all the features such as the rear camera and navigation unusable as well ad being extremely distracting. Also, the adhesive that bonded the layers is leaking, which might disrupt the electrical circuity. This could poses a serious safety threat if it affects the vehicle controls such as braking, steering, and acceleration.

The unconnect system has failed by delamination. My safety and those around me has been at risk due to the major distraction that the screen causes. When driving, the car will call people 20+ times, play music, switch stations, switch screens, change the navigation, and change the ac temperature. All of this occurs with me pressing nothing. This is extremely distracting when driving, especially on the highway as it constantly occurs. The dealership and company is aware as it is a major issue in chrysler/jeep cars. Not only are there many forums with the same issue, but customer service representatives have confirmed that this is a frequent issue. It occurred after the 3 year mark and the first symptom was part of the screen being less clear/bright. It has escalated to changing the car settings that are listed above. There is currently no recall for this safety issue. Customer service told me that not even corporate will fix this.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 35-40 MPH, the instrument panel board inadvertently engaged on its own turning the seat warmer on and increasing the air conditioner temperature. The contact also stated that the navigation system started malfunctioning and the vehicle was making phone calls independently while her phone was connected to Bluetooth. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle however, the failure reoccurred several times while driving. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle in for diagnosis. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.

The electrical system on the touch screen is overheating I'm assuming from the engine area causing malfunctioning of the screen,ac,heating and radio as well as Bluetooth functioning. It is not safe for driving to have to deal with these issue while functioning the vehicle.

The rear right seat belt became unusable in August 2021. I bought the car in October 2017 and it only has 20,000 miles. The seat belt was fully retracted and stuck, which caused a major safety issue for my passengers, including my children. The dealership confirmed it the seat belt retractor was broken and needed to be replaced. The repair costed me $558, which was not covered or guaranteed by Jeep. I would have thought that a critical safety part like a seat belt retractor that breaks at 20,000 miles, the company will cover it and recall other vehicles to check same and ensure that retractor systems are properly working. No crash or incident was involved, just normal use of the car.

Radio screen delaminates causing radio functions change without notice, heated seats turn on without notice. Glue has started to leak down towards electrical connections and radio mother board.

The factory installed Uconnect UAQ 8.4 inch screen (PART NO: 68306656AL) is de-laminating. This started as just a "bubble" on the screen that wouldn't go away in the upper section around 45,000 miles or April 2021. It has since grown to span about an inch of the entire top of the screen. During this expansion of the "bubble" or de-lamination ghost touches started happening causing the screen and operation to jump around. This severity and portion of the screen experiencing these ghost touches has continued to grow. A potential safety issue exists as I was using the GPS at one point and a ghost touch caused it to jump to another screen just as I was approaching an intersection looking at which way to turn when the screen jumped to another option and I diverted my attention from the road to the screen to get it back to the GPS and find out which direction I needed to go. I have not taken my specific vehicle into a dealer/independent service center for verification because many of the same issues I've researched online and compared who HAVE had this independently verified mirror the exact same symptoms/issues.

The component I am reporting is the Uconnect touch screen/control panel within the head unit of the car. The screen is delaminating, which is resulting in distorted images during use (quite noticeable when using the backup camera). Also, while the vehicle is in motion, random buttons are being pressed on the interface as a result of this delamination, which is extremely distracting while driving the vehicle. Researching this issue online shows many owners of 2018 Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge vehicles fitted with this same Uconnect screen to be experiencing the same issue, which leads me to believe this is a manufacturer defect.

The infotainment system is malfunctioning. The radio turns on and off and switches channels on its own. The phone will also randomly dial phone numbers continuously. Navigation will suddenly try to send me someplace on it's own. This issue could potentially distract me enough to cause an accident while I'm driving, especially when I'm on the highway and it starts dialing numbers in my contact list.

The 8.4 inch Uconnect driver information and control screen is delaminating leading to inoperability of the screen and driver control functions. Others have reported similar issues on this model and other OEM models. OEM refuses to replace out of warranty. My vehicle has about 41,000 miles and just over 3 years old. Out of warranty. Delamination is very visibly apparent.

The screen to the infotainment system is delaminating. Due to the delamination, at times the screen registers phantom presses on the screen. The radio/audio input will switch back-and-forth rapidly, as well as the display on the screen at times. This has been very distracting and dangerous. The car is one month out of warranty, and the manufacturer and dealership will not remedy this safety issue. Going online to research this issue, I see that it is a common complaint for 2018 Chrysler vehicles with the UAQ infotainment system, including the Grand Cherokee and Ram trucks.

The Infotainment screen has begun to delaminate causing the controls to unexpectedly change while you are driving. The infotainment screen in this vehicle controls everything in this vehicle to include the radio, climate controls, heated and cooled seats, navigation, phone controls, etc. When it happens it can be very distracting to the driver and could result in an accident due to the unexpected nature of the issue.

Radio screen started bubbling up since week or so ago now all my controls are going crazy

Screen doesn't work correctly the screen start to do crazy this I wish was able to post the video of it acting up I when to the dealership while under warranty and they was willing to fix it at my expense which isn’t fair I shouldn’t have to spend over 2,000 dollars to replace a radio that is defective it’s embarrassing to have others in my vehicle while driving down the road and the radio start to act up

We have experienced 2 separate episodes of this vehicle suddenly becoming disabled with complete engine shutdown while driving at highway speeds. Both episodes occurred abruptly, engine idling extremely rough, then shutting down within seconds, leaving the car completely inoperable. Both episodes were very dangerous as the car could barely coast to the shoulder of the highway for safety of the passengers. The first episode occurred when the car was a few months old, gas gauge showing over 1/4 tank of diesel gas. Car was towed to the Jeep dealership where they claimed that the car simply ran out of diesel (despite the gas gauge indication) no repair "was required", car filled with several gallons of diesel and OBD codes reset by the dealer, car then ran normally . The second episode occurred one week ago. Again driving at highway speed, 5 lane highway, over 1/4 of diesel remaining on the gauge, sudden violent engine running, sudden full loss of function of the vehicle, nearly in an accident simply trying to " limp " to an emergency stop on the road shoulder. Car required towing to our residence. with the prior experience at the Jeep dealer, despite gauge reading of greater 1/4 tank, the car was filled with 5 gallons of diesel, car started normally. All OBD fault codes insufficient fuel to the engine, fuel rail, fuel pressure, etc. The car has run normally since. I contacted my Jeep dealership and they stated they have no knowledge of any similar issues with this Jeep Diesel engine. The internet and Jeep car forums are filled with identical Diesel engine problems. Either related to faulty fuel pressure regulation or some design fault with fuel level indication affecting the safe operation of this Jeep Diesel engine. these problems date back to pre 2008. We now feel very unsafe to drive this relatively new 2018 Jeep Diesel Grand Cherokee at highway speeds without hovering near the shoulder lane of the road.

Component Malfunctioned: 8.4" Center display, it is available to inspect and there are many other vehicles with the same issue. The digitizer on the display is coming unglued (due to heat), it is causing the touchscreen to do things on its own like change the time, call people, switch radio stations. Safety at Risk: While it may not seem like a safety issue outright, when those phantom touches happen is very distracting to the driver. In addition, after reading about other cases where the delamination is even worse, the glue that is essentially melting has been seen to start dripping on other components and wiring inside the center stack, like air conditioning and parking sensor control and traction control button. Reproduced: This is a very well-known issue within the Jeep/FCA family of vehicles. I called their customer service and they were 100% aware, they were ready with a replacement option right away but at my cost. This is a manufacture defect and should be covered by FCA. I live in Cleveland, OH, the hottest it has gotten here is 90 degrees, this screen should have been tested well beyond that temp. If the glue is melting in this weather, it needs to be replaced as a recall. Inspected: No, but I will give it to anyone to inspect. Mine is not as bad as others I have seen but I would like to get is replaced before it becomes an even bigger safety issue. Warnings: No, the car itself does not realize anything is wrong, it thinks that a human being is touching the screen, so it is doing the commands it is given.

Display showing signs of delamination from the digitizer. Looks like the screen in loosing fluid and draining down. Screen doesn't work correctly where it is delaminated. It is a distraction during driving if it dowork correctly.

I have a reoccurring problem filling up my gas tank. More often than not, I cannot fill the tank. If the tank is on “E”, I can usually only put approximately 8 gallons in my tank before it starts to spew out of the tank and into the overflow tank. I had a nightmare with this just a few days ago trying to put gas in my tank at Royal Farms on Rt. 3. Gas flowed out of my tank yet my tank wasn’t full. I am sick of this problem and Jeep needs to stand behind it. I want you to make this a recall. It’s dangerous. If anyone at the gas pumps had been smoking, my entire car and the parking lot would have caught on fire.

The infotainment system begins to delaminate at very premature time and cause the climate to change in the vehicle which gets to be very distracting and uncomfortable, on top of that when the navigation is on it moves all over the place and changes songs by itself . It’s like the screen is possessed

Touchscreen interface (8.4" Uconnect) is delaminating and causing ghost touches which randomly select and activate systems on the screen, including switching screens to different controlled systems. While some of these may not be considered safety-related (environmental controls), I would respectfully suggest that others are, including: random and unexpected changing, turning on or off radio various audio at various sound levels (imagine turning on your car and somebody jokingly set the radio to an extremely loud volume - funny, but not necessarily unsafe. Now imagine that happens randomly while you are driving down the road!); interfaced mobile phone randomly placing calls (I have had this happen; solved by disconnecting phone, but was extremely distracting the first time it happened); random activation of the rear-view camera while driving; navigation system randomly activates (and tries to direct you somewhere you are not going); AND inability to disable the screen in order to alleviate the distractions (ghost touches automatically turn it back on). This is apparently an issue with tons of Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Ram vehicles...especially 2018 and later. To this point, FCA is refusing to address if out of warranty (which many, including mine, now are). Let me be clear, I am not trying to avoid an out-of-warranty repair on my dime, but I truly believe that the random activation of many of these systems - and the inability to disable most of those - is so distracting that it presents a major safety issue. I would respectfully request you look into this. A few forums indicating how widespread this is: www.jeepgarage.org/threads/display-screen-starting-to-delaminate.224391/ www.ramforumz.com/threads/uconnect-8-4-screen-delamination.274234/ www.ramforum.com/threads/8-4-uconnect-touch-screen-delaminating.162663/ https://www.infotainment.com/blogs/news/touchscreen-bubbling-a-widespread-problem-in-chrysler-dodge-jeep-and-ram-vehicles

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, the structure underneath the driver’s side collapsed and almost caused a collision. The contact felt the structure underneath the driver’s side was lower while turning. The contact attempted to contact the dealer, but the dealer was not answering calls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,008.

While driving on Sat. 7-31-21 my passenger side headrest popped forward, I found small pieces of plastic in the seat and rear floorboard. No one was in the passenger side seat at the time. It now sticks forward and will not return to its normal position. I called my local dealership and told them what happened, they explained this is only supposed to happen in a collision, I explained that I was driving and no accident happened, they looked up my info and said it’s not under warranty and no recalls. They were willing to make me an appointment to have it diagnosed for a charge of course. I now fear the driver side will do the same so I leave the seat set leaned back and I sit forward so if it does , it doesn’t hit my head while driving

The computer screen has delaminated causing computer system failure

The main uconnect "radio" screen is delaminating. The screen itself and the clear digitizer has a bubble in-between and is separating. The issue is that while using navigation or the climate controls the screen defect selects random things or back out of the desired screen completely. The screen defect will also repetitively select buttons which causes the screen to change or flash unexpectedly and is a major distraction while driving. Many vehicles are having the same issue. For example https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/display-screen-starting-to-delaminate.224391/

The unconnect system starts to bounce from navigation to radio and then bounces between radio and navigation and doesn’t allow user to change anything on the screen.

I bought a new 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee a few years ago, but have had the same error message pop up a few times now that has me concerned. I keep receiving "Service Shifter" message. Check engine light stays on for a while (2-3 days) then eventually goes off. Took it in for service, which they kept for a little bit and allegedly fixed. A few months later, same message popped up again, but this time the engine wouldn't down shift, tachometer kept going higher and higher - had to pull of highway and restart vehicle for it to run correctly. Took it to dealership again, they kept the vehicle for a week, dealership had to get approval to fix under warranty (had to work on transmission). On July 5th, I was driving on highway, service shifter error popped up again, but was still driveable, or so I thought...About a minute later, a message popped up telling me to drive directly to dealership for service, if I turned the vehicle off, it wouldn't start again. I drove a little further to the next exit, turned blinker on and all the lights on the dash were flashing, blinker worked, but much slower. I drove to gas station and it started back up, but check engine light remained on for a couple of days. My brother traded his Jeep in for electrical issues, looks like I'll be doing the same, unfortunately. 38K miles and keeps acting up.

Infotainment system freezes and shuts off on its own when driving. System does its own reboot and can become non functional

The backup camera and radio system work when they feel like it. The backup camera is definitely a safety issue. The radio and navigation is may not be as important safety issues but for some people who do not have unlimited minutes they need the navigation to work all the time. I am more concerned about the system completely shorting out while driving causing an accident.

Vehicle unexpectedly accelerated on its own while I was braking. Had I not been breaking, I would’ve gotten in a car accident. Even letting off the brake slightly caused the vehicle to jerk forward quickly and aggressively until I slammed on the brake again. This is the 2nd time this has happened now.

In accident 2/23/21, vehicle was T- boned in intersection which sent me into cement overpass. No airbags dash or side deployed. Vehicle was total loss.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that several warning lights were illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle will disable a message was displayed and the vehicle shut off. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer and was diagnosed that the battery and fuse block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

The contact's mother-in-law owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle vibrated abnormally. While stationary, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer five times to be diagnosed however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and was scheduled to be diagnosed again. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

On our way to the grocery store, I turned onto the highway and began accelerating. Suddenly the engine shuts off and random messages pop up on the display. The "D" on the shift indicator was blinking telling me to put the vehicle into park to restart. Steering and braking were impaired as i tried to get the vehicle to the emergency lane. Numerous vehicles at highway speeds had to make rapid maneuvers to avoid hitting us. After coming to a stop and putting the vehicle in park, I restarted the vehicle. The engine light was now on and there were numerous messages coming up on the display. There were also random electrical occurrences as well, rear wiper running with switch in off position. This was a very dangerous situation. Had the individual behind us not had room to maneuver into the adjacent lane he would have impacted us for sure. This seems to be a known issue that needs to be addressed. As this incident just happened i have not a chance to contact a dealer yet. There was no warning prior to the incident. We have had no issues with this vehicle to this point save one, and I do not know if they are related or not. But randomly for a few months prior to this incident, the vehicles radio/control console would freeze up becoming totally unresponsive. It will eventually reboot itself and begin working again. Sometimes after one restart and other times it takes several restarts after varying lengths of time being frozen. The frequency of these occurrences seem to be increasing also. If this was just your radio controls it would be annoying enough, this is your control center for everything. Have not addressed this with the dealer yet as well. I will be contacting my nearest dealership this week.

On May 24,2021 while in vehicle the headrest deployed for no reason at all striking me in the back of the head, had i been actively moving this i feel could have been dangerous. fortunately i was at a stop. I have since then contacted my local dealership and will be taking vehicle in for repair. My concern now is could this happen again? I had no clue this was affecting other vehicles as well until it happened to me, i went online to research headrest deployment and found this is a huge problem! I'm not comfortable with fact that when my wife is driving this vehicle that the possibility of headrest deployment exist!

Just purchased 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee from bulk dealer. The engine consistently stalls while in drive (at red lights, stop signs, intersections) causing safety issues and near MVAs. During stall, the AC continues to blow but air is not cold. The VIN# shows no unrepaired recalls, but the vehicle is behaving exactly as described in recall U87. It still has some time on warranty but I'm not sure how to proceed here. This is certainly unsafe.

On 5/14/21 Stop/Start switch - Engine stalling while driving while on turnpike 65 mph. Situation could have turned to an accident easily. Afterwards engine started with warning light to service S/S-switch. No previous issues with the car (26,000 miles). After stop at the rest area, engine started normally and no warning light. Currently waiting for a service appointment to dealership

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO EARNHARDT JEEP IN GILBERT ARIZONA FOR THE W79 EGR COOLER RECALL AND ONLY THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED AND NOT THE EGR COOLER. THE RECALL STATED THAT THE EGR COOLER COULD CRACK FROM THERMAL FATIGUE AND A NEW EGR COOLER WITH THICKER WALLS WOULD BE INSTALLED. THIS ISSUE IF THE EGR COOLER CRACKS CAN CAUSE COOLENT TO GO INTO THE AIR ENGINE INTAKE AND CAUSE A FIRE. THE VALVE DOES NOT HAVE COOLENT GOING THROUGH IT SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS CAN BE A COMPLETE FIX. THE VEHICLE HAD THE VALVE REPLACED 4-7-2021 AND I RETURNED THE VEHICLE 5-5-2021 WITHE THE MILL LIGHT ON WITH THE SAME CODE. CAR STILL IN THE SHOP. FCA SAYS THE CURRENT REMEDY IS VALVE REPLACEMENT AND NOT THE EGR COOLER. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LOGICAL AND I NEED NHTSA HELP TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE SO MY WIFES VEHICLE IS NOT A FUTURE FIRE HAZZARD.

I WAS THE FIRST OWNER TO MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PURCHASED IN 2018. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS I STARTED GETTING A WARNING MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM RIGHT AWAY. THE CAR WOULD THEN GET STUCK IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE OR OTHER MODE AND WOULD NOT RISE OR LOWER STATING I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN (I WAS ALREADY DRIVING BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT) WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN PROPER HEIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES IN THE USA AND WHEN I MOVED TO GERMANY WITH THE ARMY. NOW I AM BACK IN THE USA AND MY CAR IS ONCE AGAIN AT THE DEALERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOOK INTO A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE 2018

UCONNECT HAS BRICKED MY RADIO, REAR CAMERA, HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM, NAVIGATION, AND ALMOST ALL OF THE CONTROLS.

WHILE DRIVING MY ENTIRE RADIO SCREEN FREEZES, CAN'T CONTROL TEMPERATURE OR RADIO. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY WHILE I AM DRIVING SOMETIMES EVERY 2 MINUTES. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A ELECTRICAL FIRE. THIS CAN HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CAR STOPS AND THE BACKUP CAMERA FREEZES OR IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION DRIVING. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP YET BECAUSE 2 OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE ARE GETTING RECALLS REPAIRED. THIS SCREEN CONTROLS EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED IF IT HAS ISSUES. I PLAN TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

AFTER RECENT UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR THE VEHICLE, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS AND HAS ME DRIVING IN FIELDS IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHERE I AM AND IT STAYS IN THAT VICINITY. THIS OCCURRED AFTER THE UPDATE. OCCURRENCE WAS APPROX. 02/20/2021 AFTER THE LAST UPDATE. I'VE HAD THE DEALERSHIP CHECK THE ISSUE, AND THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND I WOULD NEED TO BUY A NEW RADIO. THEY HAD A BIG STACK OF RADIO ORDERS SITTING THERE - ALL DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. THE RADIOS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. YOUR UPDATE CAUSED THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM TO BREAK DOWN. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE NEW RADIO. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS.

MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE RADIO STATION BEGINS CHANGING SPORADICALLY AND THE TELEPHONE STARTS CALLING MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN A ROW CAUSING HER TO HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT EVERYTHING OFF, INCLUDE THE JEEP TO GET IT TO STOP. DAYTONA DODGE SERVICE PERSON TOLD HER THE STEREO WAS "DELAMINATED" AND TOLD MY DAUGHTER THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND. NO HELP FOR DAYTONA DODGE AND CAN'T GET ANYONE FROM CHRYSLER TO RETURN NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS FROM MY DAUGHTER, WIFE AND I. THE SAFETY ISSUE I HAVE HERE IS THAT THIS SPORADIC ACTION OF THE RADIO HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING MULTIPLE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. MY CASE NUMBER WITH CHRYSLER IS [XXX] AND THE PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. THE NUMBER TO DAYTONA DODGE IS 386-274-0571 AND THE PERSON OF CONTACT THERE IS [XXX]. ON TOP OF THIS THEY TELL ME THAT I MUST PAY A $155 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO TELL ME THE RADIO IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF THE RADIO, INSTALLATION AND ASSOCIATED SHOP COSTS. THE FOCUS HERE IS THE SAFETY ISSUE. AS A RETIRED DEPUTY SHERIFF, I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH INJURIES AND FATALITIES AND THIS RADIO ISSUE COULD BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO MORE NEEDLESS ACCIDENTS. I UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF MILEAGE BUT I DON'T BELIEVE A RADIO HAS AN ODOMETER AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN A RADIO OF ANY SORT DO WHAT MY DAUGHTER AS TOLD ME THIS ONE DOES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY CUT OFF. THE "D" ON MY DASH BEGAN TO FLASH. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND BRAKING WAS DIFFICULT. THE CAR JUST COASTED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK. THEN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. IF I HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY OR A BUSY STREET, THIS WOULD EASILY HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. MY 8 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR. NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. SEEMS THIS IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE FOR ME. A LOT OF OTHER 2018 JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. A CAR THAT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE IT'S BEING DRIVEN IS A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE CAR THAT MAY BE RELATED OR SEPARATE. THE RADIO IN MY CENTER CONSOL TURNS ON WHEN I START THE CAR. THEN IT FREEZES AND SHUTS OFF. THEN IT TURNS ITSELF BACK ON AND FREEZES AND SHUTS OFF AGAIN. IT GOES THROUGH THIS PROCESS SEVERAL TIME BEFORE IT WILL TURN ON, STAY ON, AND FUNCTION PROPERLY. I AM TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THAT THE CAR NEEDS AN UPDATE. I AM ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE UPDATE COULD RESULT IN THE CAR NEEDING AN ENTIRELY NEW RADIO.

AFTER STARTING MY CAR I WENT IN MY HOUSE TO GET SOMETHING. MY CAR SLIPPED INTO REVERSE AND ROLLED DOWN MY LAWN ACROSS A BUSY STREET AND HIT A TREE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM DID NOT ENGAGE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO WHERE IT WAS PARKED. I THEN TESTED TO SEE IF I COULD HAVE ACCIDENTALLY PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WHEN I GOT OUT IT. IT BEGAN TO ROLL IN REVERSE AND I WASN'T TOUCHING THE GAS. I COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN OF THE CAR IF WERE IN REVERSE BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ROLLING. APPARENTLY WHEN THE CAR IS IN A PARKED POSITION IT CAN SLIP INTO REVERSE.

I PURCHASED A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE GRAND LIMITED ON 02/24/21 & THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM DISPLAYED I WAS IN THE WRONG CITY. I CALLED UCONNECT & JEEP NUMEROUS TIMES & WAS ADVISED TO RECALIBRATE THE NAVIGATION & GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS. THIS DID NOT WORK & WAS ADVISED ON JEEP HAD MY INFORMATION IN THE SYSTEM THAT I WAS THE NEW OWNER THEY WOULD LOOK INTO HELPING ME PAY FOR THE PROBLEM & TAKE IT TO JEEP. I TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AFTER TAKING IT TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM & THEY UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE & WAS ADVISED BY JEEP THE RADIO HAD INTERNAL FAILURE & THE UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CONTACTED JEEP & UCONNECT WHO HAVE NOW RENIGED ON THERE WORD & ARE ADVISING ME I NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH & I WOULD LIKE SOME ASSISTANCE WITH GETTING JEEP TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V699000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FIELDS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM GLENVIEW (2800 PATRIOT BLVD, GLENVIEW, IL 60026, (847) 446-5100) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL SHOWED NO OPEN RECALL.

AFTER WIDE OPEN THROTTLE ACCELERATION, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER LETTING OFF OF THROTTLE. HAD TO IMMEDIATELY DEPRESS BRAKE TO ITS MAXIMUM CAPACITY TO SLOW/STALL THE UNINTENDED RAPID ACCELERATION. IT HAS DUPLICATED THIS BEHAVIOR TWICE IN THE LAST 100 MILES. THE JEEP ALSO INDICATES AN ERROR MESSAGE REGARDING ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ERROR. ONCE AGAIN UNCONTROLLED RAPID ACCELERATION AFTER WOT!

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM KEEPS REBOOTING, GOES INTO BOOT MODE EVEN WHILE DRIVING. CAUSED TOTAL DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING WITH SUDDEN FULL BLAST OF AIR CONDITION OR VOLUME GOING UP AND DOWN WITHOUT CONTROL. THIS IS A FULL SAFETY ISSUE AS AT ONE POINT MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TOTALLY BLANK AT NIGHT. ALL PROBLEMS GRADUALLY STARTED IN OCTOBER 2020. IN THE LATEST SAFETY RELATED ISSUE THE JEEP WAS NO LONGER DRIVABLE AS THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. THE JEEP HAD TO BE JUMPED STARTED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE DAY AND GOT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR LEAKING INSIDE VEHICLE CAUSING FREON TO GET IN THE CAR AND GET IN OUR LUNGS. ALSO THIS CAUSES IT TO GET INTO THE ENVIRONMENT

UCONNECT 4C 8.4" DISPLAY W/NAV SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO: FAVORITES ARE SAVED, BUT WHEN NOTIFICATION THAT A FAVORITE IS PLAYING, THE SCREEN IS EMPTY. BEEN HAPPENING AT LEAST 6 MONTHS. REACHED OUT TO UCONNECT, AND THEY SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND SUGGESTED UPGRADING SOFTWARE THROUGH LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. TECH FROM DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THEY COULD UPDATE MY SOFTWARE, BUT, IT COULD RENDER THE UNIT UNUSABLE....ALONG WITH MY HVAC CONTROLS. A RECENT SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS AVAILABLE OVER-THE-AIR, BUT IT DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS DAILY, WHETHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY. NOT ONLY AFFECTING MY 2018 GRAND CHEROKEE, BUT MY WIFE'S 2019 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE SAME RADIO.

DRIVER SEAT IS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACK IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.

WHEN FILLING VEHICLE, PUMP WILL GO FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND STOP, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE LEVER, AND IT STILL STOPS. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AND HAVE FILLED MY JEEP UP AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FUELING WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE PUMP STOPS, YOU HOLD THE LEVEL, IT STOPS, AND YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE LEVER AND GO BACK AND FOURTH AFTER PUMP STOPS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT.

ISSUE WITH AUTOMATIC START/STOP LIGHT TURNING ON, WHICH THEN LEADS TO ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING, AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS ON AND ALARM SOUNDS IT CAUSES VEHICLE TO SHIFT WHICH JERKS THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER 4 DIFFERENT TIMES, SEVERAL PARTS FIXED, AND I AM STILL HAVING THE ISSUE

AFTER RECENT UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR THE VEHICLE, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS AND HAS ME DRIVING IN FIELDS IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHERE I AM AND IT STAYS IN THAT VICINITY. ALSO THE RADIO SETTINGS NO LONGER HOLD WITH THE RECENT UPDATES. THIS ALL OCCURRED AFTER THE UPDATE. I'VE TRIED PROGRAMING IN CITY STREETS, MOVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, PARKED. FEARFUL MORE THINGS ELECTRICAL COULD GO WRONG. OCCURRENCE WAS APPROX. 02/19/2021 AFTER THE LAST UPDATE.

THE TOP TRIM JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2018 LEATHER DASH IS WRINKLED IS ALSO HAS OVER FOUR AIR BUBBLES. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS NOR HAS BEEN INTO ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF CONSTANTLY. IT HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND WITH DIFFERENT STYLE PUMP HANDLES. I HAVE TO REMOVE THE GAS PUMP FROM THE TANK AND ROTATE IT IN ORDER TO PUT GAS IN MY VEHICLE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW IN 2018. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY AND I'VE READ ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE CAPLESS GAS SYSTEM IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, I FEAR THAT I WILL BE IN A POSITION THAT I CAN NOT PUT GAS IN MY VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

61,000 BROKEN WATER PUMP AND BLOWN HEAD GASKET

ABOUT 47 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OUTSIDE DROVE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WITH INTERIOR TEMP SET TO 72 DEGREES DOWN A HIGHWAY. WINDOWS STARTED FOGGING UP SO TURNED ON THE DEFROST. HEARD A CRACK AND WINDOW CRACKED DOWN MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD ABOUT 10' SPREAD TO ABOVE THE MIRROR AND TURNED TOWARD DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. LATER SKIPPED ABOUT 2 INCHES AND STARTED AGAIN. BY 2 HOURS LATER CRACK SPREAD TO TOP OF WINDSHIELD AND ALMOST TO END OF DRIVER'S SIDE.

PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK OPEN MY DOOR WALK IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK TO OPEN MY GATE. TURN AROUND ONLY TO SEE MY TRUCK LEAPING TOWARDS ME. LUCKILY FOR ME THE TRUCK RAN INTO THE GATE BEFORE I SLIDE THE GATE.. THERE IS CLEARLY A BIG PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER DON'T WANT TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY.

WHILE USING THE ACC FUNCTION AND SETTING FORWARD DISTANCE AT ANY LENGTH THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU SLOWS, STOPS,,OR TURNS MY VEHICLE WILL BRAKE ON ITS OWN. HOWEVER, WHILE BRAKING DURING THE MENTIONED OPERATION THE BIG PROBLEM IS THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WITH SOMEONE NEARLY RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE DURING THE USE OF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC). THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE NOW FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED DURING THE ACC HAZARDOUS EXAMINATION PHASE. A VERY SIMPLE FIX WOULD BE TO INSTALL AN I/P SWITCH IN THE BRAKE LINE AT THE MASTER CYLINDER SO THAT THE PRESSURE FROM THE ACC APPLYING THE BRAKES SENDS THE PNEUMATIC SIGNAL TO AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL THAT LIGHTS UP THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT AND ADDRESSED DURING THE DESIGN PHASE. I FOUND OUT WHEN I ASKED A SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. HE ALSO SAID THEY KNOW ABOUT IT.

THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. IT THEN STATED TO "SERVICE THE SHIFTER" WITHIN MINUTES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CARMAX AND WITHIN 12 HOURS THAT CAME ON AFTER THEY DID A FULL BUMPER TO BUMPER INSPECTION.

THE BLOWER MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A 4 MONTH PERIOD. 1ST TIME, HOT AIR WAS BLOWING WHEN A/C ON. 2ND TIME, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE WHEN A/C ON.

DRIVING ON THE STREET -JEFFERSON BLVD. ON MY WAY HOME AND MY EXCELARATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK AND COULD NOT STOP THE CAR AND HIT LARGE ESCALADE IN FRONT OF ME, THANK GOD FOR THAT. HIS CAR WAS BARELY SCRATHED AND MINE ENDED UP $6,500 IN REPAIRS LESS $1,000 DEDUCTIBLE. IT WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING. I WAS NOT HURT.*DT*JB

FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS MY RADIO CHANGES STATIONS BACK AND FORTH, THE AIR CONDITIONER GOES HIGH TO LOW REAL FAST BUT TODAY REALLY SCARED ME I PUT ON MY BLINKER TO TURN LEFT AND IT STARTED SWITCHING RIGHT TO LEFT AND THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS FIXING TO GO AROUND ME ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND WHEN IT SWITCHED TO THE RIGHT IT SCARED HIM AND HE SLAMMED ON HIS BREAKS AND THE CAR BEHIND HIM ALMOST HIT HIM. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT KINDA JUMPS INTO REVERSE. THE BACK ARCH HASN'T BEEN WANTING TO CLOSE EITHER WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON ALL OF THE THUGS HAPPEN WHILE JUST STARTING IT TO GOING ANYWHERE

I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 50 - 55 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING THERE WAS A REALLY HARD HIT AND LOUD NOISE THAT I THOUGHT MAY HAVE BEEN A BLOW OUT. IT WAS DAYLIGHT AND NO DEBRIS IN THE ROAD THAT I HIT TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE. I HAD NEW TIRES THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS OLD AND 44,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. MY INSURANCE SENT OUT PEOPLE TO LOOK INTO THE SITUATION AND IT SEEMS THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT SNAPPED WHICH IN TURN CAUSE THE WHOLE INSIDE OF MY TIRE TO BE SLASHED.

I HAVE A 2018 GRAND JEEP AND SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY IN 2018 HE UCONNECT FEATURE HAS NEVER WORKED RIGHT, AND NOW IS BEYOND USELESS/DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUNDS BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND DOESN'T WANT TO COVER 2018 VEHICLE IN 2020 WITH VERY LITTLE USE THIS WHOLE YEAR. THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS NOT SAFE WITH RANDOM CHANGES WITH RADIO VOLUME, TEMP CHANGES, NAV CHANGING INSTRUCTIONS IN ROUTE, ETC. IT'S BEYOND FRUSTRATING AND I CAN'T SEEM TO GET A STRAIGHT OR HELP. ONLINE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEAR BEFORE MY MODEL WAS SOLD, AND NEVER ADDRESSES. THIS IS FRAUD AND STRAIGHT NEGELENCE, AND I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS VEHICLE BACK. WORSE PURCHASE EVER!!

I WAS SITTING OUTSIDE OF MY GARAGE DOOR WAITING FOR IT TO FULLY OPEN, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE RPMS OF MY CAR MAXED OUT AND MY CAR WENT FORWARD THROUGH MY GARAGE AND INTO MY LIVING ROOM. I NEVER ONCE TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND TRIED BRAKING WITH BOTH FEET AND MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THERE ARE BURN OUT MARKS LEFT THROUGHOUT MY GARAGE WHERE YOU CAN SEE I WAS HOLDING THE BRAKE. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED, MY SEATBELT ALSO DID NOT LOCK UP DURING THE INCIDENT.

WHILE SITTING IN MY JEEP (PARKED) I REACHED INTO THE BACK SEAT FROM THE DRIVER SEAT. THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST POPPED RANDOMLY. I LOOKED UP HOW TO RESET IT AND IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2014 DUE TO THE PLASTIC RETENTION CLIPS BREAKING AT RANDOM. SEEING AS HOW IT IS A SAFETY MEASURE TO REDUCE INJURY WHEN REAR ENDED I FEEL AS IF THIS IS SOMETHING JEEP SHOULD RECALL SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A REOCCURRING PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A DIRT ROAD THE PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED AND HIT MY WIFE'S HEAD. SHE STILL HAVE A STIFF NECK SINCE. IT LOOKS LIKE A LATCH IS BROKEN IN THE HEADREST AS WE ARE NOT ABLE TO PUT IT BACK INTO PLACE. IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO SIT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DASHBOARD PANEL DEVELOPED A BUBBLE. THE BUBBLE STARTED AT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD AND TRAVELED TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD. THE BUBBLE CAUSED CERTAIN FEATURES TO SWITCH ON AND OFF INDEPENDENTLY LIKE THE RADIO, THE AIR CONDITION, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM, AND THE DEFROSTER. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING AND PULLED OVER BECAUSE THE DEFROSTER WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOVE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP LLC (1259 E MAIN ST., ALICE, TX 78332, (361) 356-7928) AND WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED.

BACK UP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING. DOES NOT COME WHEN TRANSMISSION IS IN REVERSE AND WILL NOT WORK FROM APPS ON SCREEN. THE RADIO DOESN'T SHUT OFF EITHER.

PURCHASED MY GRAND CHEROKEE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. ITS BLACK ON BLACK ON BLACK. THE DAY I DROVE IT WAS A CLOUDY MORNING. BY THE TIME ALL WAS SIGNED THE SUN WAS OUT. AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT I NOTICED THE LEATHER WAS BUBBLED AND PEELING UP. I CONTACTED THE DEALER. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET HELP BUT ONLINE SHOWS THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE OVERLAND.

SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY WARNING POPS UP AFTER BRAKING ON A DECLINE... VEHICLE MAKE A LOUD COMPRESSOR TYPE NOISE. SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM FRONT RIGHT WHEEL/ENGINE AREA.

TOUCHSCREENS ARE DE-LAMINATING, CAUSING ISSUES WITH RADIO CONTROL, BACKUP CAMERA AND BACKUP CAMERA SENSOR SYSTEM. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE FOR PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES AS MUCH AS IT IS A DISTRACTION FOR DRIVERS - RADIO STATIONS AND SETTINGS CHANGING WHILE DRIVING, ETC. THERE IS A GROWING NUMBER OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN 2018 THAT HAVE THE UCONNECT 8.4 SCREEN ENCOUNTERING THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING OTHER LINES SUCH AS THE DODGE RAM.

WHILE IN MOTION THE DISPLAY WILL FREEZE, AND REMAIN ON AND FROZEN EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS PUT IN REVERSE, AND AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, AND TURNED ON AGAIN. THE LAST SCREEN IT WAS ON REMAINS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS LAST TIME WAS NOVEMBER OF 2019, IT RECENTLY HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2020.

VEHICLE LOSING COOLANT DUE TO FAULTY WATER PUMP. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE WATER PUMP DOES NOT HOLD UP TO NORMAL VIBRATION AND USE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS BACK ORDERED AND WE WERE NUMBER 300 IN LINE FOR A REPLACEMENT. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT 300 PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR THE SAME WATER PUMP IF THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE. THAT IS NOT INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF STOCK THAT JEEP HAS ALREADY SOLD TO BE IN BACK ORDER.

I HAVE PROBLEM AND I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

A PERSON HIT MY FRONT LEFT PANEL NEAR MY DRIVER DOOR AND I WAS THROWN AROUND LIKE A RAG DOLL EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. THIS IS EXTREMELY JUST AWFUL SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF AIRBAGS. THIS DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE RAN A LIGHT AND PLOWED INTO ME. I WAS DRIVING 40MPH AND DON'T KNOW HOW FAST HE WAS GOING.*DT*JB

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS CONDENSATION. THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR OPEN SOURCES FOR WATER TO ENTER.

THE OWNER NOTICED THE ROTORS LOOKED WORN OR "GOUGED" ON THE REAR BRAKES WHILE WASHING IT. HE TOOK IT IN TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS. MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING. THE CALIPERS WERE "FROZEN", THE PADS WERE COMPLETELY GONE, AND ROTORS HAD EXTENSIVE WEAR AND LOCKED INTO PLACE AS WELL. THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS SHOWED MORE WEAR DUE TO WORKING OVERTIME WITH LACK OF REAR BRAKES. ONLY SIGN OF THIS PRIOR WAS IT WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN WHEN PLACED ON CRUISE CONTROL, OTHERWISE, FRONT BRAKES WERE BRAKING AND NO SOUNDS WERE BEING EMITTED. HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND BRAKE CALIPERS. UNSURE OF HOW LONG IT WAS IN THIS CONDITION. ONLY HAS 28,120 MILES ON IT.

CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT SAME TIME. I WAS PARKED IN THE POST OFFICE PARKING LOT AND THIS HAPPENED WHEN I STARTED IT. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. I AM TOLD I NEED A NEW ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS FCA DOES NOT CONSIDER IT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN.

AFTER A COLD START (EVEN IN WARM WEATHER), WHEN SHIFTING FROM 'PARK' TO 'DRIVE' THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS MOMENTARILY AND SHAKES THE WHOLE VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT DO THIS WHEN THE ENGINE IS UP TO NORMAL OPERATING TEMP, OR IF YOU WAIT 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES I'VE OWNED.

STARTED OUT WITH HAVING ISSUES WITH THE RADIO SCREEN NOT COMING ON JUST THE JEEP LOGO WOULD SHOW UP. THEN IT PROGRESSED TO THE SCREEN AND RADIO WOULD RESTART AS I'M DRIVING AND OCCASIONALLY WOULD MAKE A LOUD BEEPING NOISE OUT OF NOWHERE. WENT TO START MY CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ACROSS THE DASH WOULD FLASH AND CHANGE COLORS (FROM A BLUE TO ORANGE) AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. NOW NOTHING WORKS AT ALL ON THE CAR AND I CAN'T GET THE CAR TO START. CAR IS COMPLETELY DEAD. *TR

THE UPSHIFTER PADDLE DRIVER CONTROL ON MY JEEP SRT TRACKHAWK, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER 2010+ FCA VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH PADDLE SHIFTERS, PERFORMS THE OPPOSITE FUNCTION (DOWNSHIFTING) WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION- CAUSING THE GEARS TO LOWER ONE OR MORE, THE ENGINE TO REV UP, THE ENGINE TO ENGINE-BRAKE, AND ULTIMATELY THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT AGGRESSIVELY TO THE FRONT UNINTENTIONALLY. *TR

I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND AS I GOT OUT IT BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS. I TRIED TO GET TURNED AROUND AND BACK IN OR GRAB THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUT THE DOOR KNOCKED ME DOWN AND THE JEEP DROVE BACKWARDS ABOUT 150FEET AND HIT A TREE. 3WEEKS FOR REPAIRS AND I HEARD ABOUT THE CHEROKEE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THIS SEEMS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. *TR

HERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE PULLED OUT (WITH VARIOUS PEOPLE IN THE CAR) MOST RECENTLY MY 13 YEAR-OLD-SON, WHO WAS SCREAMING, "DAD WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WE ARE ABOUT TO BE HIT," AND THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. (NO INTERIOR LIGHTS, OR RUNNING ENGINE) QUICK THINKING SAVED US FROM A MAJOR DISASTER. WE WERE ALMOST T-BONED LAST WEEK BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM. PROBLEM #3: WHILE DRIVING, I PULLED OUT FROM MY STREET, A RED LIGHT OR PARKING LOT AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE, THE ENGINE REVVED (WITHOUT MOVING) AND AGAIN, I WAS ALMOST T-BONED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING. PROBLEM #4: THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I AM TRAVELING UP OR DOWNHILL, THE TRANSMISSION WILL WIND OUT, THE TACHOMETER WILL SPIKE AND THEN THE JEEP MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE AND THEN I CAN CONTINUE. YOU COULD DRIVE THE CAR FOR MONTHS AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HAPPENS. PROBLEM #5: I WAS BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE BACK UP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING AND MY JEEP COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THIS HAPPENS ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND HAS NO PRECURSOR TO WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHT PRODUCED BY THE LOW BEAM WAS INADEQUATE TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ADDITIONALLY, THE LIGHT PROJECTED FROM THE HIGH BEAM WAS IMPROPERLY FOCUSED TO THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STRAUB AUTOMOTIVE CHRYSLER (1502 WHEELING AVENUE, GLENDALE WEST VIRGINIA, 26038, (304)-845-6750 TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED AS PER THE MANUFACTURER'S REGULATIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ANY ATTEMPTS TO ADJUST THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. *BF*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART WITH BATTERY CHARGER, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE OUTER RIM HEADLIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE BUT FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT STATED HE FEELS UNSAFE IN VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE BATTERY UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,990.

I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE TO RUN AN ERRAND, DECIDED TO RUN BACK INTO THE HOUSE FOR A SWEATER. PUT THE CAR IN PARK (IT WAS STILL OUTSIDE THE GARAGE FACING THE OPEN GARAGE DOOR). HOPPED OUT AND WENT TO GO BACK INTO THE HOUSE WITH THE CAR DOOR OPEN. THE JEEP STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. I JUMPED BACK IN, PUT ON THE BRAKE, TRIED TO SHUT THE DOOR AND IT SPED FORWARD ACCELERATING. IT WENT THROUGH THE OPEN GARAGE, IT JUMPED UP TWO STAIR STEPS, THE TIRES AND WHEELS CRASHED THROUGH THE TOP STEP FLOOR, JUMPED UP OUT OF THE HOLE IT MADE, LURCHED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE WALL AND WAS STUCK IN BETWEEN THE FURNACE WALL ON THE RIGHT AND SHELVING ON THE LEFT. THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AT THIS POINT AND I CUT THE ENGINE BY PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON. I THEN THOUGHT THE AIRBAG WAS GOING TO HIT ME, BUT IT DID NOT DEPLOY. I DECIDED I NEEDED TO GET IT OUT OF THE WALL, SO I STARTED IT AND SHIFTED BACK INTO REVERSE, BUT IT WOULDN'T MOVE. SO I SHUT IT OFF AND THEN STARTED TO PANIC THAT THERE MIGHT BE AN EXPLOSION AS WE HAVE GAS LINES, ELECTRICAL, ETC. THERE. THE FRONT DOORS WERE PINNED SHUT. SO I JUMPED IN THE BACK AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT THROUGH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I RAN OUT INTO OUR YARD AS I WAS AFRAID SOMETHING MIGHT EXPLODE. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS ON YOUR WEBSITE AS COMPLAINTS, ETC. IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. THERE ARE MANY MORE I'M SURE AND THE NEW 2020 MODELS YOU HAVE 3 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALREADY. DO SOMETHING TO HOLD JEEP ACCOUNTABLE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2009. I HAD NO IDEA WHEN I BOUGHT THIS JEEP.*DT*JB*DT*JB

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM INCORRECT PURGE FLOW FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME. ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. BROUGHT CAR NEW.

NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT A EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND WIDESPREAD ISSUE. FM RADIO SIGNAL ISSUES. FM RADIO CUTS IN AND OUT. I FOUND A FORUM WITH DOZENS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE. RADIO WORKS FINE FOR XM/SIRIUS AND AM. SEEKING THROUGH FM STATIONS, THE RADIO DOESN'T FIND ANY SIGNALS STRONG ENOUGH TO STOP ON. I'M IN AN AREA WITH STRONG FM STATIONS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ISSUES ON OTHER RADIOS IN ANY OF MY VEHICLES.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT IT WAS THE CONTACT'S FAULT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT STOP SIGNAL THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND AND NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOM O'BRIEN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM - INDIANAPOLIS (4630 E 96TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46240) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A ROCK HIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED FOUR TIMES IN THE SAME SPOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY OVERCHARGED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO UNABLE TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIVE STAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF WARNER ROBINS LOCATED AT (2817 WATSON BLVD, WARNER ROBINS, GA 31088) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V332000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

THE MAIN JEEP BATTERY HAD A THERMAL RUNAWAY AND MELTED TO THE POINT IT STARTED A FIRE. THE BATTERY IS LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND MELTED THE BATTERY COVER, SEAT COVER, CARPET,SEAT TRIM.BOTH BATTERY CABLES JEEP WOULD NOT COVER THIS UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. 2018 JEEP WARRANTY STATEMENT FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, A JEEP BASIC LIMITED WARRANTY (OR JEEP BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY) COVERS THE COST OF REPAIRS THROUGHOUT MOST OF YOUR VEHICLE. IT ALSO COVERS THE COST OF PARTS AND LABOR DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP, OR FACTORY PREPARATION. A BASIC WARRANTY ALSO COVERS JEEP ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR TOWING TO A DEALERSHIP DURING THE FIRST THREE YEARS OR 36,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.

I'VE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR WELL OVER 85 DAYS AND IT'S STILL HAVING THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I HAVE VERY HARD SHIFTING WITH ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION, I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE GET STUCK IN FIRST GEAR WHILE MAKING TURNS ONTO STREETS AND I'VE HAD IT SURGE FORWARD ON ME. I'VE HAD UPDATES, PARTS WITHIN TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND A NEW TRANSMISSION. I NOW HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE MY ISSUE AND WHEN I TOOK IT OFF THE LOT IT DID THE HARD SHIFTING AND THEN IT GOT STUCK IN FIRST GEAR WHILE MAKING A TURN. THIS HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED IN CITY DRIVING, ANY WEATHER CONDITIONS. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE HARD SHIFTING IS NORMAL IN ALL 8 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT A WRECK HAS ALMOST OCCURRED DUE TO IT NOT SHIFTING OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T GO TO CHRYSLER ABOUT A BUY BACK SINCE THERE IS NO ERROR CODE. I GUESS I'M SUPPOSED TO PUT MY LIFE/FAMILY IN HARMS WAY.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. I WAS TRANSPORTING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL ON JANUARY 28, 2020 TRAVELLING AT A SPEED OF 45-50MPH. A MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD PROMPTING ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PUSH START/STOP. MY VEHICLE BEGIN TO STALL AND JUST AS IT WAS SLOWING DOWN ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I WAS LEFT SITTING IN TRAFFIC FEARING FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE AS CARS CONTINUE TO DRIVE PASS AT HIGH SPEED OR DRIVING CLOSING BEHIND MY VEHICLE BEFORE REALIZING THAT WE WERE AT A STANDSTILL. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT DID NOT START. I CALLED MY AUTOMOBILE INSURER WHO CONNECTED ME WITH A TOW COMPANY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TRANSPORTED TO THE CAR DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. BASED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS A FAILED AC COMPRESSOR WHICH CAUSED THE STARTER TO FAIL INTERNALLY AND MY WATER PUMP IS LEAKING. MY CAR WAS JUST TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE ON JANUARY 2, 2020. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SOME OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DETECTED DURING THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SINCE THE REPORT INDICATES THAT A FULL INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED. DURING THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICE ON JANUARY 2, I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND THE AIR FILTER WAS REPLACED. AFTER READING THE OTHER REVIEWS I AM FEARFUL FOR MY LIFE NOW WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THAT IT COULD STOP ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE. OUT OF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO POST THIS AS A SAFETY PROBLEM GOD FORBID ANYTHING HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 60-65 MPH THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOWN AND COUNTRY CAR AND TRUCK CENTER 10 CRAFT DR, ALAMOSA, CO 81101, (720) 230-5846, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

WHEN REVERSING, ACTIVE STOP RANDOMLY APPLIES FULL BRAKE PRESSURE WITHOUT DETECTING AN OBSTACLE AND BRINGS THE VEHICLE TO A HAULT.

RADIO SIGNAL COMES A GOES VERY RANDOMLY. VOLUME FLUCTUATES FOR NO REASON. CAR AND BE STARTED AND RADIO WILL BE FINE AND NEXT IT WONT WORK AT ALL WITH ALL STATIC. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR A YEAR AGO.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE TRAVELING AT VARYING SPEEDS, THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM HAVE SHUT DOWN FOR ANYWHERE FROM SEVERAL SECONDS TO SEVERAL MINUTES. THE ENGINE HAS NOT SHUT DOWN, BUT THERE HAS BEEN A NOTICEABLE LACK OF POWER FOLLOWING THESE EVENTS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE MANEUVERING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, THROUGH A DOWNTOWN CITY STREET AND ON COUNTRY ROADS. THE EVENTS HAVE OCCURRED AT VARYING TIMES OF DAY AND DURING VARYING WEATHER CLIMATES. THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE WAS IN JUNE 2019 WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE, YET THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. THEY HAVE REPLACED A BACKUP BATTERY TO THE START/STOP, AS WELL AS THE BUTTON, IN EFFORTS TO LOCATE AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED SAFELY OFF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LEE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (765 CENTER ST, AUBURN, ME 04210) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE IGNITION COIL AND THE FUEL FILTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ADDITONALLY, AFTER A SECOND FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HERB CHAMBERS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF MILLBURY (2 LATTI FARM RD RTE. 20, MILLBURY, MA 01527), BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AUTOSTAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF HENDERSONVILLE (401 DUNCAN HILL RD, HENDERSONVILLE, NC 28792) TO BE INSPECTED; HOWEVER, NO FAILURES WERE DISCOVERED. AFTER AN ADDITIONAL FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DANBURY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (100B FEDERAL RD, DANBURY, CT 06810) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIO/INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM CONTROLLED SEVERAL FUNCTIONS IN THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING HEATING AND AIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM OVERHEATED AND CAUSED SEVERAL OF THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS TO BECOME INOPERABLE. ALSO, ON OCCASION, THE HEAT OR AIR WOULD ACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIO WOULD THEN ATTEMPT TO REBOOT UNTIL THE BATTERY DISCHARGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARDEN CITY JEEP (283 N FRANKLIN ST, HEMPSTEAD, NY 11550, (516) 336-4712) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO EAST HILLS JEEP AND BAYSIDE JEEP IN NEW YORK FOR ADDITIONAL INQUIRIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WAS SAFE TO OPERATE AT 80 DEGREES; HOWEVER, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SHOWED AT OVER 100 DEGREES DURING OPERATION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16.

SIMILAR TO MULTIPLE REVIEWS POSTED HERE, 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. AS OF THIS DATE 12.18.2019 I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY CAR SHUTTING OFF ENTIRELY AT STREET TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS (25-65 MPH) BEING UNABLE TO RESTART MULTIPLE TIMES (5). AS A PART OF RESTARTING THE VEHICLE ONE IS PROMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND ACTIVATE BY PUSHING THE START/STOP. - COUPLE OF ISSUES THERE 1) YOU HAVE TO SOMEHOW MANAGE TO GET YOUR VEHICLE OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET/HIGHWAY WHICH LIKELY WONT HAPPEN. 2) WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU CANT GET INTO A SAFE AREA AND PUT YOUR CAR IN PARK TO ATTEMPT RESTART, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESTART AT ALL. THIS LEAVES YOU AND YOUR VEHICLE COMPLETELY STRANDED AND LOCKED OUT. PUTTING PERSONAL SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE ELSE IN A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AND THEN THE COPS COME TELL YOU THEY WILL TOW YOU AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE. - I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO JUMP THE VEHICLE ALL OF THE TIMES I HAVE BEEN STRANDED. LET ME BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU THAT TWO CARS STOPPED DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY PERFORMING A JUMP IS 100% A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. NOW, THE VEHICLE ALSO LIKES TO DECIDE THAT IT JUST DOESN'T WANT TO START AT ERRATIC INTERVALS. I HAVE NOW 3 TIMES EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE JUST FLAT OUT NOT STARTING.ONCE RIGHT IN THE MORNING AT WORK, ONCE AT WORK TRYING TO GO FOR LUNCH AND THE FINAL TIME BEING AT LUNCH. IT'S BECOME PAINFULLY CLEAR THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG AND THEY ARE NOW SENDING ME OUT ON LABRAT EXCURSIONS HOPING THEY FIXED AN ISSUE THEY CANNOT IDENTIFY. THEY ARE DOING THIS KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THE COST OF FAILURE COULD END UP BEING MY LIFE.

RADIO GOES OUT OF CONTROL. CHANGES STATIONS BY ITS SELF AND THE VOLUME GOES UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN AS WELL. ADDITIONALLY, I'M UNABLE TO CONNECT THE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS EITHER PARKED OR MOVING. TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE WITHOUT RESOLUTION.

MY 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS HUNDREDS OF TINY POT MARK LIKE MARKS THAT APPEAR IN BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS. VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE SUN IS LOW IN THE SKY. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY OTHER OF MY NUMEROUS VEHICLES.

AN ISSUE RELATING TO ELECTRICAL OR POWER TRAIN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND REMAIN IN A NO START CONDITION. WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY WITHOUT ELECTRICAL POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 9/2018, PURCHASED 12/18. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE AT A SPEED OF 45-55 MPH ON 5/31/18 AND AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT 30-40 MPH ON A CITY STREET ON 10/18/19. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS WERE TERRIFYING AND THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY SERVICE THAT HAS BEEN PERFORMED (OIL CHANGES AND THESE TWO ISSUES) WAS COMPLETED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE FAILED, THE DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED THAT THE MASTER FUSE WAS "BLOWN" AND THE REPLACED IT. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT I AM NOW FORCED TO PAY FOR AND DRIVE MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN AROUND IN NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL SHUT OFF AND I WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE OR MOVE FROM THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. WHEN CALLING THE MANUFACTURER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL NUMBER U87 / NHTSA ID 18V524000 DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER ALTHOUGH THE DESCRIPTION IS EXACTLY THE SAME. THIS RECALL EXPLAINS THAT THE DEALER SHOULD REPLACE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE IT MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH A VOLTAGE REGULATOR CHIP IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT MAY FAIL CAUSING A STALL OR NO START CONDITION AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A RISK OF CRASH. YET, THE DEALERSHIP IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS VIN. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE AND THIS IS MY ONLY RECOURSE UNTIL THE ISSUE HAPPENS TWO MORE TIMES, I SURVIVE BEING IN AN INOPERABLE MOVING VEHICLE AND CAN FILE FOR LEMON LAW RIGHTS.

CAPLESS FUEL FILLER ASSEMBLY ON 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED DOES NOT ALLOW A STANDARD GAS PUMP TO FILL TANK IN A "NORMAL" MANNER WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AT A GAS STATION PUMP AND IS TURNED OFF. USER HAS TO HOLD PUMP HANDLE GENTLY IN ORDER TO DISPENSE FUEL. TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL FILLER ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $316.00 PLUS SALES TAX, AS WELL AS A $98 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, AS MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY PERIOD. I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL INTERNET SITES THAT MODELS OF JEEPS AND DODGE DURANGO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR A FAULTY PART FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 27 YEARS AND HAVE OWNED 3 OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES, A HONDA CIVIC, AND A KIA SORENTO AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I ALSO TRAVEL FREQUENTLY FOR WORK AND HAVE DRIVEN NUMEROUS MODELS OF VEHICLES AS RENTALS AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE.

PARKED VEHICLE IN SLOPED PARKING LOT LEFT VEHICLE RUNNING WALKED BEHIND JEEP WITH TALIGATE LIFTED TO REMOVE WET ITEMS FROM JEEP. NOTICED THE JEEP WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS MY QUICK REACTION WAS TO JUMP BACK IN DRIVERS SEAT TO TURN OFF CAR. WHILE DOING THIS THE JEEP PUSHED ME BACKWARDS FLAT ON MY BACK AND BROKE MY T11 AND T12 ON 9-14-2019. THIS RESULTED IN SURGERY AND STRESS WHILE NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MODEL OF JEEP AND APPEARS THERE WAS POWER TRAIN ISSUES IN 2017 AND COULD BE CARRIED OVER INTO 2018 MODELS. PLEASE ADVISE

A ARM BROKE CLEAN IN TWO WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD. NOTHING WAS HIT PRIOR TOO ARM BREAKING AS A RESULT CAR PULLED TO RIGHT AND HIT BACK TIRE ON A CURB WHICH CAUSED ROTOR AND BALL JOINT ON BACK TO BREAK. HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF POPPING NOISE AT FRONT RIGHT TIRE WITH NO RESOLVE. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 40-45 MILES PER HOUR ON CITY STREET CLEAR DRY DAY.

WE TOW OUR VEHICLE AND IT IS HAVING A REAL BAD WOBBLE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN WE MAKE SHARP TURNS WHILE IN TOW ONLY. AFTER THE TURN IT USUALLY CORRECTS ITSELF. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE THE SAME PROBLEMS THEY ARE HAVING WITH THE EARLIER MAKE JEEPS WHICH IS REFERRED TO AS THE DEARTH WOBBLE. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DODGE DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT.

AS I TURNED INTO A GAS STATION AFTER DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE DASH BEGAN FLASHING PUT VEHICLE IN PARK TO START. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN RESTART IT. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX 3800 MILES ON IT WITH A FRESH OIL CHANGE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, FRONTIER DODGE. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RAN FINE.

WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND PUSHING THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN UNTIL MY FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE. IT THEN SPEEDS FORWARD INSTANTLY UNTIL I BRAKE AGAIN AND HIT CANCEL FOR CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES ON REGULAR PAVEMENT GOING FORWARD.

HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR. THREE TIMES I'VE HEARD GEAR GRINDING WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK WAITED A FEW SECONDS WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BEFORE PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT (CHECKED OUT) BUT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE TO GRIND GEARS IN REVERSE THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND HAD ME PICK UP MY VEHICLE. ALSO WHILE DRIVING IT ON ONE OCCASION I SMELLED A SMELL OF ELECTRICAL BURNING. UNKNOWN WHERE IT IS COMING FROM ON MY VEHICLE. I'M GETTING FEARFUL OF DRIVING IT.

POWER DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTS FORWARD WHILE I AM IN MOTION. DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION OCCURS WHEN I AM CRAMMED UP AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. AT DEALERSHIP X 2 WITH NO RESOLUTION. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE PERFORMED A MEMORY AND SOFTWARE RESET.

THREE EVENTS IN 12 MONTHS OF VEHICLE VIOLENT "WOBBLE" (TRACKS SIDE TO SIDE) WHILE BEING TOWED BY A CLASS A (MOTORHOME) AT SLOW SPEED ~15 TO 25 MPH. CONDITIONS PRECEDING EVENTS INCLUDE: 1) FROM A STOP TO MOVING AFTER TURNING, USUALLY 90 DEGREES, BUT NOT ALWAYS, 2) DRY ASPHALT PAVEMENT, AND 3) SOMETIMES AFTER A ROAD DIP. PLEASE NOTE THAT OTHER CONDITIONS MAY CONTRIBUTE/CAUSE EVENT, BUT THE THREE EVENTS I'VE EXPERIENCED, WERE UNDER CONDITIONS STATED ABOVE. VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 16,000 MILES WHEN THE LAST EVENT OCCURRED, AND MORE THAN 7,000 MILES BEFORE FIRST EVENT. FIRST OCCURRENCE WHILE FLAT TOWING WAS AFTER MORE THAN 3,000 MILES OF VEHICLE BEING TOWED. NOTIFIED JEEP DEALER - NO HELP (NO RECALLS, NO TSB'S, NO RECOMMENDED MITIGATION FIX), REVIEWED MANY SIMILAR OCCURRENCES ON VARIOUS RV FORUMS E.G. IRV2, FMCA, AND OTHERS. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT CHECK AT 16,000 MILES AND WITHIN OEM SPECIFICATION. THE VEHICLE MOVEMENT IS VIOLENT ENOUGH TO TRANSFER SIDE-TO-SIDE FORCES INTO MY 45', 46,000 LB. MH (WITH TAG AXLE). THE YOU TUBE VIDEO ( HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FWGUAJAEECI) ACCURATELY REPRESENTS MY EXPERIENCE. I AM USING ROADMASTER'S STERLING TOW BAR WITH AN AIR FORCE ONE (SMI) SUPPLEMENTAL BRAKING SYSTEM. THE TOW BAR GEOMETRY AND PROPORTIONAL BRAKING SYSTEM ARE SETUP ACCORDING TO OEM REQUIREMENTS, I HAVE OWNED FIVE JEEP GC'S (2012 AND EARLIER) AND HAVE FLAT-TOWED THESE WITHOUT ISSUE. PER THE ASSISTANT EDITOR AT FMCA, FCA HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE IN THE 2016 AND NEWER GC'S WITH ELECTRIC STEERING, AFTER RECOGNIZING THE ISSUE IN THE CHEROKEE MODEL AFTER THAT MODEL'S CONVERSION TO ELECTRIC STEERING. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED AN ACCIDENT AND HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED DAMAGED EQUIPMENT YET, HOWEVER, LATERAL G-FORCES ARE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO LIKELY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT FUTURE COMPONENT FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

AT A STOPLIGHT I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE TOO HARD TO PUSH DOWN AS I LOOK TO MAKE SURE I WAS IN DRIVE WHICH I KNOW I WAS AND I WAS I WAS IN DR. AND THEY WERE STILL TOO HARD TO PUSH DOWN SO I PUT IT IN PARK PUT IT BACK AND DRIVE IT PUSHED OUT AT FIRST AND THEN CHYNA KICKED ME BACK REALLY HARD SO I DID THAT ONE MORE TIME AND THEY FINALLY ENGAGED AND WE'RE WORKING SUNROOF TRACK KEEPS GOING OFF PROBLEMS WITH BLUETOOTH CONNECTION TO IPHONE CONSTANTLY WHEELS WE ARE OUT VERY VERY QUICKLY AT 17,000 MILES CAN ALREADY FEEL TRANSMISSION SLIPPING

MY 2018 JCG ALTITUDE EDITION WITH 16000 MILES HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH RADIO AND NAVIGATION. CJDR REPLACED STEREO SYSTEM WHICH FIXED THE NAVIGATION ISSUE BUT NOW RADIO TURNS UP AND DOWN ON OWN. TOOK CAR IN TODAY AND THERE IS NO FIX. THEY TOLD ME WHEN IT OCCURS TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON WHICH WILL HELP IT TEMPORARILY. THE PERIOD OF WHICH IT WILL HELP IS LESS THAN 1 MINUTE BEFORE IT REPEATS THE VOLUME ISSUE. HOWEVER THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHIFTING VERY HARD AND LUNGING FORWARD WITHOUT FOOT ON GAS, THEY 'RE-FLASHED' MY JEEP TWICE. SAYING MY CAR NEEDED TO RELEARN MY DRIVING. I WAS TOLD BY MY SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT HE WOULD CALL WHEN THEY HAD SOME SOLUTION.

TRANSMISSION THUMPS, COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER UPON ACCELERATION NEARLY RESULTING IN SEVERAL MVA'S. EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN GETTING FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE, CONSTANT SURGES IN RPM, DASH DISPLAY GOES BLACK, TOUCH SCREEN TURNS OFF, GOES SILENT, WILL NOT RESPOND, DOES NOT RECOGNIZE KEY FOB AND ON SEVERAL INSTANCES HAS ALLOWED ME TO START AND DRIVE VEHICLE WITHOUT FOB. MIRRORS MAKE HIGH PITCHED WHISTLING NOISE. VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE WHO VALUES THEIR LIVES OR LIVES OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS HAS ALL BEEN CONSTANT PRETTY MUCH SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL. CHRYSLER IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. VERY VERY DANGEROUS

ON JANUARY 23, 2018, LEASED A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLE FROM CRISWELL LOCATED AT 84 BUREAU DRIVE, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20871. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER OF TECHNICAL AND MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE INCLUDING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN: 'BRAKES LOCKING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START VEHICLE (I WAS ADVISED ON 7/3/19 BY A SERVICE ADVISOR AT CRISWELL, THAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING) 'VEHICLE NOT STARTING 'VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN AT RED LIGHT 'A FAULTY DRIVE SHAFT THAT WAS REPLACED 'REAR CAMERA FREEZING 'DASHBOARD DISPLAY GOING BLANK WHILE DRIVING I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY AND REQUEST THAT ACTION BE TAKEN ON MY BEHALF. SADLY, EVERY TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUES AND ARE, THEREFORE, UNABLE TO BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE AT ALL WHILE I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES ON A WEEKLY BASIS. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE (800-992-1997) ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND HAS COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT MY COMPLAINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND SHE ENTERED A STORE, UPON RETURNING THERE WERE POLICE VEHICLES SURROUNDING WHERE SHE PARKED. THE CONTACT THEN WAS INFORMED THAT HER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF WHERE SHE WAS PARKED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION BUT SOMEHOW SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND ROLLED FORWARD CRASHING INTO THE OTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER LUSTINE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (14211 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, WOODBRIDGE, VA 22191) WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A CASE NUMBER (59312649). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

PARKING MY 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO IN A PARKING LOT. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK AND I WAS GETTING READY TO SHIFT JEEP INTO PARK WHEN THE JEEP SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD HITTING A BUILDING. TOOK JEEP TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING RECREATE THIS. I HAVE OPENED A TICKET CHRYSLER/FIAT AND WAITING FOR THEM TO CONTACT ME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE JEEP NOW.

I HAVE A "NO START" ISSUE. WHEN THE IGNITION BUTTON IS PUSHED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE STARTER TURNS, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT MAY TAKE UP TO 10 SECONDS OR SO TO GET THE STARTER TO TURN OFF. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT.

THE VEHICLE NAV DISPLAY SHUTS DOWN AND THEN THE CAR WON'T START. I HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR. IN BOTH CASES THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. ONCE ON A HIGHWAY AND ONCE ON A CITY STREET. THE LATEST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 6/11/19 AT 7:29 PM. ADDITIONALLY THE NAV SCREEN HAS SHUT DOWN AS FOLLOWS 6/12/19 12:14 PM 6/26/19 3:51 PM' 6/28/19 10:13 PM 7/1/19 8:22 AM 7/10/19 1:57 PM 7/11/19 9:42 AM 7/18/19 3:10 PM 7/19/19 9:02 AM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND DID NOT WARN THE DRIVER ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEAR A SECOND VEHICLE AHEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DESERT 215 JEEP (8030 RAFAEL RIVERA WAY, LAS VEGAS, NV) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

OUR JEEP GC STALLED AND NOTHING WORKED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A GAS STATION. AFTER WAITING A COUPLE MINUTES THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME BACK ON AND WE WERE ALLOWED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE ENGINE STARTED WE CAUTIOUSLY CONTINUED. WE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE JEEP DIED AGAIN. THIS TIME WE WERE DRIVING 70 MPH+, AND WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE DIED AND ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WAS DEAD. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO GET PULLED OVER WITHOUT ISSUE. AGAIN, AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES OF SITTING THERE THE DASH CAME BACK ON AND WE WERE ALLOWED TO START AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE WE REACHED THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE PURCHASED THE JEEP FROM. IT IS THERE CURRENTLY AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. 13,000 MILES.

SEE NOTE TO INSURANCE COMPANY I RECEIVED MY 2018 JEEP BACK YESTERDAY 7/10/19 AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING FOR FARMERS TO REGAIN POSSESSION AFTER STOLEN AND RECOVERED IN MEXICO AND REPAIRS TO BE DONE. I DROVE THE CAR HOME FROM BUMPER TO BUMPER LAST NIGHT. WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME FROM THE GYM TODAY THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STATING GOING UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF. I WAS GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN I TRIED TO STOP IT WITH THE SWITCH THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND ALL POWER DIED. THE CAR SKIDDED 10-15 FEET TOWARD A INTERSECTION. I ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. LUCKY I AM STRONG ENOUGH TO STOP MYSELF. I AM REQUESTING YOU THAT YOU TOTAL THIS VEHICLE RETURN MY DOWN PAYMENT AND MAKE PAYMENT TO CHRYSLER IN ARREARS. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN MULTIPLE TIMES TO ROUTE 46 CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (LOCATED AT 1655 US-46, LITTLE FALLS, NJ 07424, (973) 339-7752), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,800.

WHILE DRIVING A MESSAGE OF SERVICE SHIFTER DISPLAYED AND VEHICLE WENT LIKE ON PARK MODE BUT IN D SHIFT. CAR WAS IN MOTION AND BECAME STATIONARY. SHIFT LIGHTS CAME ON. ALL WHEELS WERE LOCKED, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON DIDN'T HELP. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFT FROM D TO ANY OTHER SHIFT. IT WAS VERY SCARY AS I WAS ON HEAVY TRAFFIC ROAD, UNABLE TO MOVE THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE LANE DURING WORK RUSH HOUR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER, TOW GUY HAD ISSUES GETTING INTO THE FLAT BED AS THE WHEELS WERE FULLY LOCKED. AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION AND A TURN WAS MADE, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND LOST POWER. ALSO, THE FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE STIFFNESS OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE LEAKED OIL AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE, CHECK ENGINE, AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NORTH WEST DODGE (9616 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065, (281) 720-1128) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,680. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018 IN AN ELEVATED GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, IMMEDIATELY AT THE MOMENT OF A LOW SPEED FRONT COLLISION THAT BENT PART OF THE FRONT BUMPER, THE ENGINE RPM SPIKED EXTREMELY HIGH. I THEN CAREFULLY PUT MY FOOT SQUARE ON THE BREAK AND APPLIED PRESSURE BEFORE PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE SO I COULD PARK IN ORDER TO CHECK THE DAMAGE. AS MY FOOT WAS FIRM ON THE BRAKE, WHILE SHIFTING INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AS THE ENGINE RPM CONTINUED TO VIOLENTLY ACCELERATE AND SPIKE. THE BRAKE WAS ROCK SOLID AND DID NOT ACTIVATE ALL, NO MATTER HOW MUCH PRESSURE I PUT ON IT AS THE JEEP ACCELERATED THROUGH THE PARKING LOT IN REVERSE, GETTING UP TO ABOUT 40 TO 50 MPH BEFORE STRIKING 4 OTHER VEHICLES. AT LEAST 2 OF THE OTHER VEHICLES WERE TOTALED. ONLY AFTER THE JEEP CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP INTO ONE OF THE PARKED CARS, WAS I ABLE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND GET OUT TO MAKE SURE NO PEOPLE WERE INJURED. SEVERAL PEDESTRIANS WERE WALKING TO THEIR CARS AT THE MOMENT OF THE INCIDENT. NO ONE WAS HURT BUT SEVERAL PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE THROTTLE/RPM SPIKING OUT OF CONTROL. THE EXPERIENCE WAS COMPLETELY HORRIFYING. THE ON DUTY POLICE OFFICER WHO I SPOKE WITH, WHO WAS ALSO PRESENT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, DID NOT WRITE A TICKET. AFTER INTERVIEWING ME HE DETERMINED THAT I WAS OF SOUND MIND AND BODY AND NOT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY TYPE OF SUBSTANCE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL TECHNICIANS AND SALES ASSOCIATES AT THE JEEP DEALER, I' WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT JEEP CORPORATE TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WHO HAD THE AUTHORITY TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER. MOVING FORWARD MY BEST ADVISE TO ANYONE ELSE WOULD BE TO CHECK THIS (NHTSA) WEBSITE FOR ANY MANUFACTURER MALFUNCTIONS AND/OR RECALLS.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE BEING DRIVEN IS THE MOST SERIOUS ISSUE AC WORKS SPORADICALLY. DOOR LOCK UNLOCK SPORADICALLY WILL NOT WORK STATIONARY DANGEROUS ISSUE IS THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON HIGHWAYS

2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRACKHAWK THROTTLE STUCK OPEN AND BEGAN ACCELERATING AFTER REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL. THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THE FLOOR MAT RECALL AS I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAD TO PRESS THE IGNITION TO TURN THE POWER OFF AND SLAM HARD ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE.

THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND PLACED INTO PARK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I EXITED THE CAR AND IT ACCELERATED IN REVERSE IN A FAST SPEED AND STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE. I WAS CAUGHT BEHIND THE OPEN DOOR IN PANIC AND WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT KNOCKED DOWN AND RUN OVER BY THE WHEELS.I AM ADAMANT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED INTO PARK AND NOT IN REVERSE. I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW FAST THE CAR WAS TRAVELING. THE INCIDENT WAS WITNESSED BY MY HUSBAND AND MY BROTHER IN LAW. MY HUSBAND LATER TALKED TO A MAN THAT WAS NEARBY AND WAS TOLD THAT HE HAD THE EXACT SAME CAR AND YEAR AND THAT THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. AN INVESTIGATOR WAS SENT OUT AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY PART IN THE VEHICLE. THE MAN LIVED IN THE STATE OF COLORADO WHICH IS WHERE IT HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND FORGOT TO GET HIS NAME. THIS HAPPENED IN AN RV PARK ON FLAT TERRAIN, PRIVATE PROPERTY.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY IN REVERSE 5 MINUTES LATER AND CRASHED INTO A NEIGHBORS VEHICLE. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DEALER DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF ROCKVILLE, 755 ROCKVILLE PIKE, ROCKVILLE, MD 20852,(301) 424-1700 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER TESTING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THEY FELT UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V280000 (POWER TRAIN) BUT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS RENTED VEHICLE STILL RUNNING AFTER PUSHING BUTTON TO STOP VEHICLE WHEN PARKED. FAMILY MEMBERS TOLD ME 'YOUR CAR IS STILL ON' AT LEAST 3 TIMES. HAD ISSUES WHEN STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DIE & WAS VERY DELAYED WHEN STARTING TO GO AGAIN-REQUIRED MORE PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL THAN USUAL. HAD ISSUES WHILE FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. SEVERAL TIMES THE PUMP WOULD CUT OFF (APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES) INDICATING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL WHEN I KNEW IT WASN'T. HAD A SEVERE ISSUE RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE & THE ALOHA ISLAND MART AT 50 PAKAULA ST. KAHULUI, HI 96732 GAS PUMP. I STOPPED TO FUEL UP IN ORDER TO RETURN THE RENTAL VEHICLE TO BUDGET RENTAL CAR (865 W MOKUEA PL, KAHULUI, HI, 96732), I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, PUSHED THE BUTTON TO STOP THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF THE MOTOR. EXITED THE VEHICLE TO GET THE CREDIT CARD OUT OF MY PURSE WHICH WAS IN THE BACK ON THE FLOOR BOARD IN A BEACH BAG I SAW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLING BACK. THERE WAS NO SLOPE TO THE PARKING LOT, IT WAS LEVEL GROUND. I JUMPED BACK IN THE VEHICLE WITH LEFT FOOT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP IT, IT WENT OUT OF CONTROL BACKWARDS. THANKFULLY I GOT MY LEFT FOOT IN AND HAD TO USE BOTH FEET ON THE BREAK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK & TURNED IT OFF AGAIN.THE DOOR & DRIVER FRONT QUARTER PANEL SUSTAINED SEVERE DAMAGE FROM HITTING THE GAS PUMP WHICH ALSO RECEIVED DAMAGE. ALTHOUGH THE PUMP WAS IN WORKABLE CONDITION ONCE THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED & WAS MOVED. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE BODILY DAMAGE TO MYSELF AS WELL AS MORE VEHICLE & BODILY DAMAGE IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME AT THE NEXT PUMP. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS TERRIFIED, SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY & THE THOUGHT OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS & RECALLS ON THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE I FEEL THIS ONE SHOULD BE ADDED.

EXPLODING SUNROOF WHILE DRIVING

I NEARLY DIED ON 5/8/19 DRIVING MY JEEP. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN THE FAR LEFT LANE. MY SOS 🆘 WENT OFF ON MY PHONE AND IMMEDIATELY I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND WHEELS STARTED TURN INTO LEFT AND RIGHT. THERE WAS NO MORE POWER STEERING AND I HAD TO STRUGGLE AND FORCE THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT SO I WOULDN'T CRASH INTO THE DIVIDER WALL ON THE LEFT AND CARS ON THE RIGHT WHEN IT WOULD CHANGE LANES. THIS WENT ON FOR WHAT SEEMED FOREVER. I REACHED FOR MY PHONE THAT WAS FLASHING AND PRESSED THE CANCEL BUTTON AND SHORTLY AFTER IT BEGAN TO CALM DOWN AND I BEGAN TO GET SOME CONTROL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED MY PHONE WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE BLUE TOOTH IT WAS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. YOU HAVE AN IMAGE THAT IS DESCRIBED AS A DEATH WOBBLE THAT IS SIMILAR ONLY MINE WAS MORE PROFOUNDLY SEVERE. WHAT IS THIS AND WHAT CAUSES IT? IT ALMOST KILLED ME. I COULD HAVE HAD MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I DO NOT WANT TO GO IN TO JEEP AN THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW OR CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY PROBLEM AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. IT IS SAFE AND THERE IS NO WARNING SIGN. FIX IT IMMEDIATELY, RECALL IT, EXCHANGE IT, OR REFUND IT.

RECALL: U65/NHTSA 18V-332 JUST BOUGHT IT AND FOUND A RECALL ON V-6 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN YET. PLEASE SEND ME THE CERTIFICATE TO GET IT FIXED.

ON 3/11 AND 5/3 2019,MY VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING AND IN GEAR SURGED OUT OF CONTROL CRASHING INTO A PARKED CAR THE FIRST TIME AND HITTING A TELEPHONE POLE THE SECOND TIME.DESPITE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP.IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AFTER HITTING THE NEIGHBOR'S VEHICLE AND TELEPHONE POLE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT BODY DAMAGE ON BOTH OCCASIONS TO MY JEEP.THANKFULLY NO INJURIES BUT I NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

MY 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FAULTY SOS FEATURE. THE SOS DOES NOT CONNECT TO EMERGENCY SERVICES AND DOES NOT SHUT OFF. THE SYSTEM STAYS ENGAGED UNTIL A FUSE IS PULLED IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS AND "STAR TICKETS" HAVE NOT PRODUCED CORRECTION AND STAR TICKETS CANCELLED MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE OEM. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS, BUT NOTHING IS RESOLVING THIS. OEM NOT TAKING THIS AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IF SOMETHING SHOULD OCCUR, THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY RESPONSE SERVICE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING FOR OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY UPSETTING THAT THE OEM HAS NOT FIXED A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE RADIO WITH ONE THAT ACTUALLY PROVIDES THE PROPER CONNECTION TO EMERGENCY SERVICES. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT THAT THE OEM HAS HAD OVER 18 MONTHS TO FIX SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED.

ENGINE STOP/START FEATURE CAUSES ENGINE TO STOP/START UPON SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK, CAN CAUSE DRIVER TO EXIT VEHICLE WITH ENGINE STILL RUNNING

THIS VEHICLE LACKS ANY KIND OF UTILITY FOR POSITIVE ENGINE SHUTOFF CONFIRMATION, AND/OR A WARNING INDICATOR WHEN THE KEY FOB IS SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY PARK AND EXIT THIS VEHICLE AND LEAVE IT RUNNING. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES IN THE 18 MONTHS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. TWO OF THESE TIMES THE ENGINE WAS LEFT ON WHILE PARKED FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY AND EMISSIONS ISSUE. SPECIFICALLY, BECAUSE NO KEY REMOVAL IS NECESSARY, IT IS EASY TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE RADIO AND SUBCONSCIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT YOU'VE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. CAR ENGINES ARE VERY QUIET NOW, AND WHEN EXITING WHERE THERE IS EVEN NOMINAL AMBIENT NOISE, YOU MAY NOT HEAR THE VEHICLE RUNNING. AT MINIMUM, I BELIEVE THE KEY FOB SHOULD HAVE A SENSOR TO KNOW WHEN IT IS MORE THAN SAY 20' AWAY FROM A RUNNING VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD WARN YOU WITH LOUD AUDIBLE ALARM. A SECONDARY OPTION WOULD BE TO HAVE A MOBILE APP OR NETWORK CONNECTED SERVICE THAT COULD SEND A TEXT OR EMAIL THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDLING IN ONE PLACE FOR MORE THAN XX MINUTES.

WHILE BEING TOWED BY AN RV, THE JEEP STARTED VIOLENTLY WOBBLING WHICH SHOOK MY 40,000 # RV PRETTY HARD. THIS STARTED AFTER A SLOW (ABOUT 5MPH) LEFT TURN. THE WOBBLING DID NOT STOP UNTIL COMPLETELY STOPPING THE RV. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE IN 5,000 MILES OF BEING TOWED. HAS NEVER HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP ABOUT 11,000 MILES.

TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ALWAYS SHIFT FROM LOW GEAR TO NEXT HIGHER.

SEVERAL ISSUES BUT THE MOST SERIOUS ISSUE WAS ON 1-25-2019 WHEN I HAD AN APPOINTMENT AND PARKED FORWARD INTO A PARKING SPACE. I WAS EARLY SO I DECIDED TO BACK UP INTO ANOTHER PARKING SPACE. THERE WAS AN OPEN SPOT RIGHT BEHIND ME. WHEN I BACKED UP IN BETWEEN TWO PARKED CARS, MY VEHICLE ZOOMED OUT OF CONTROL, OVER AN ISLAND ABOUT 7 FEET WIDE AND THEN OFF THE ISLAND. I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT GOING BACKWARDS. FINALLY THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THIS OCCURRED IN THE PARKING LOT OF SCHOOL. . THANK GOD THERE WERE NO CHILDREN OUT ON RECESS. MY SON CAME AND GOT ME. I WAS SO SHAKEN UP. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. HE WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE SYSTEM ON THE SCREEN WAS ON AND HE TURNED IT OFF. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO LEARN WHAT THE SYSTEM WAS AND WAS TOLD NO ONE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. WE REQUESTED THE OWNER OF THE DEARLERSHIP TO CONTACT US BUT NO RESPONSE TO DATE.

WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT CAR STALLED, START STOP PRESSED AFTER CAR PLACES IN PARK AND CAR RAN. AUTOMATIC OFF ERROR LIT UP ON SCREEN IN YELLOW AND REMAINED ON DESPITE TURNING OFF AUTOMATIC OFF. THEN WHEN CAME TO ANOTHER STOP AT A DRIVE THROUGH, CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE CAR AGAIN WOULDN'T TAKE OFF AFTER RETURNING TO DRIVE UNTIL STOP START WAS PRESSED AGAIN EVEN THOUGH AUTO OFF WAS STILL TURNED OFF.

VEHICLE WAS BEING TOWED BEHIND 2016 TUSCANY CLASS A WITH A BLUE OX HITCH. WE MADE A STOP TURNED LEFT AT TO BOTTOM OF AN EXIT RAMP. THE VEHICLE BEGAN DIPPING DOWN AND BACK UP VIOLENTLY FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, BACK AND FORTH, THROWING TO MOTORHOME FROM SIDE TO SIDE. WE STOPPED AND CHECKED THE TIRES FOR FLATS. WE FOUND NON AND RESUMED TRAVEL. A FEW MILES LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. IN ALL IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEED WE WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN IN THE DITCH. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THIS IS CAUSED BY A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING BUT SINCE THEY DON'T MAKE A HITCH PLATE FOR THIS VEHICLE THEY ARE TRYING TO BLAME IT ON THE HITCH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEP, SINCE SWITCHING TO ELECTRONIC STEERING. THEY CLAIM TO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR GRAND CHEROKEE, BUT DO FOR CHEROKEE. MEANWHILE I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE I BOUGHT BECAUSE JEEP SAID IT WAS TOWABLE AND NOW I FIND IT CAN NOT BE TOWED WITHOUT DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT DOWN ELECTRICALLY (TWICE WHILE DRIVING) AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2017 I HAVE HAD 4 TO 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JEEP/CHRYSLER IN LIBERTYVILLE, ILLINOIS. I MADE VERBAL COMPLAINTS AFTER THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME. I WAS TOLD AFTER THE LAST ISSUE THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED AND NO MORE ISSUES WOULD OCCUR, ABOUT 10 MONTHS LATER THE ISSUE HAS OCCURED ONCE AGAIN FOR A FOURTH TIME. I HAVE SON THAT I PICK UP ON THE WEEKENDS WHICH REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY FEAR IS THAT THE ELECTRICAL WILL GO OUT AND MY SON WILL BE HURT IN A CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKING AND NO WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY. THE OCCASION WHERE IS WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE STARTING GOING HAYWIRE, THE DASH LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING AND DIFFERENT SIGNS WERE COMING ON AND THE BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD TO PRESS UNTIL I COULDNT ANY LONGER AND THE STEERING BECAME REALLY HARD TO MOVE UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY LOCKED AS WELL. ON 9 APRIL 2019, THE LAST OF THE FEW ISSUES THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE IT WAS STATIONARY AND IT WOULDNT START AND THE ELECTRICAL STARTED ACTING UP WITH THE DASHBOARD GIVING ME THE SAME MESSAGES FROM THE LAST FEW TIMES THAT THE SITUATION HAD OCCURRED.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2018 GRAND CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK EDITION LAST FALL THAT WAS FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH "ROCK RAILS". I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE FACTORY SPECIFIED JACKING LOCATION "PINCH POINTS" ARE OBSCURED BY THE RAILS AND NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE USING THE SUPPLIED JACK. THERE ARE "CUTOUTS" IN THE RAILS BUT THEY ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE JACKING LOCATION POINTS. I HAD THE FIRST SERVICE PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THEM THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO COULD NOT LOCATE A SAFE JACKING LOCATION USING THE FACTORY SUPPLIED TOOLS. IT IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS TO ATTEMPT ANY TYPE OF TIRE CHANGE PROCEDURE USING THE SUPPLIED FACTORY JACK ON A GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE ROCK RAILS OPTION. SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR DEATH COULD RESULT IF THE VEHICLE WAS TO SLIP/FALL OFF THE JACK WHILE FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THE FACTORY USER'S MANUAL. I HAVE CONTACTED US CORPORATE JEEP SEVERAL TIMES VIA EMAIL AND PHONE (3/15, 3/17, 3/27, AND 4/2). THEY ASSIGNED CASE #58203148 TO THE ISSUE BUT HAVE NOT YET PROVIDED ANY SUGGESTIONS OR REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FROM THEM OTHER THAN "THEY'RE LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM".*DT CONSUMER STATED THE CUTOUT IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE 'U' SHAPE CUSP OF THE JACK TO ENGAGE AND PROVIDE A SECURE LIFT POINT. YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE THAT THE ROCK RAIL PINCH POINT IS OFFSET 90 DEGREES TO THE ORIGINAL LIFT POINTS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS MEANS YOU'D HAVE TO ALIGN THE JACK STAND PARALLEL WITH THE VEHICLE RATHER THAN PERPENDICULAR. *JB *DT *TR

AS IM DRIVING, THE CAR COMPLETE DIES ON ME, NO POWER, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NOTHING IS WORKING, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS IS HAPPENING, IM NOT SAFE IN THIS CAR, I DRIVE MY KIDS,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS STOPPED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, A TRACTOR TRAILER CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN ECONOMY MODE AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER STRUCK HER HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT CALLED NORTHWEST HILLS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2033 E MAIN ST, TORRINGTON, CT 06790, (860) 482-0700), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. *DT *DT THE CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

AFTER DRIVING INTO CONDO GARAGE, I PUT TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, WITH ENGINE RUNNING, AND OPENED DOOR TO EXIT VEHICLE - CAR STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS - THE SURFACE IS FLAT. I WAS PARTWAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE, HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT COULD NOT STOP IT BEFORE THE OPEN DOOR IMPACTED A CONCRETE PILLAR INCURRING DAMAGE PREVENTING DOOR FROM BEING SUBSEQUENTLY CLOSED. IF I HAD BEEN FURTHER OUT OF THE CAR THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN FAR WORSE. THE VEHICLE BEHAVIOR WAS EXTRA ALARMING BECAUSE MY EXPERIENCE PRIOR WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION TENDED TO BOUNCE BACK TO PARK WHEN SELECTING REVERSE. ALSO WHEN IN REVERSE - EXTRA EFFORT IS REQUIRED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE. SO HERE - NOT ONLY DID IT SEEM TO BE IN REVERSE DESPITE MY PUSHING TO PARK - THE VEHICLE WAS AT IDLE SPEED WHICH HAS PREVIOUSLY NOT BEEN SUFFICIENT FOR MOVEMENT.

MY 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE JUST ACCELERATED BY ITSELF UP A SIDEWALK AT A PARKING LOT AND RAN INTO THE PILLAR OF A BUILDING. I THEN PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT ACCELERATED INTO A CAR PARKED BESIDE ME. THE FRONT AXLE SNAPPED COMPLETELY EVEN THOUGH THE IMPACT WAS NOT TREMENDOUS. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALL KINDS OF IMPACT SENSORS AND USUALLY BRAKES ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN IT SENSES A LEAF FROM A NEARBY BUSH AND NONE OF THAT WORKED. THIS HAPPENED JUST YESTERDAY AND I'M AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO. I CANNOT BELIEVE MY INTERNET SEARCH HAS YIELDED SO MANY SIMILAR STORIES! *DT *DT *DT*JB

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2017 AND JUNE 2018 THE RADIO STARTED SHUTTING DOWN EVERY 30 SECONDS. THE JEEP DEALER HAD IT FOR 1 WEEK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. IT WAS NEVER QUITE THE SAME AFTER THEY FIXED IT WITH A 'PATCH' BUT I LIVED WITH IT. DECEMBER 2018 MY NAVIGATION STOPPED WORKING ALONG WITH MY SIRIUS RADIO. INTERMITTENT RESTARTS, JAMMED SCREENS AND LOCKED BRIGHT BLUE SCREENS ALSO OCCURRED. I WAS UNABLE TO USE MY PHONE OR ANY OTHER CONTROLS LOCATED IN THAT SCREEN. THIS INCLUDES MY BACK CAMERA AND AUDIBLE SENSOR. TODAY IS MARCH 3, 2019 AND THE DEALER HAS HAD MY CAR SINCE JANUARY 9, 2018. THEY RECEIVED 1 REPLACEMENT RADIO, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. THEY APPARENTLY TRIED OTHER THINGS THAT CHRYSLER TECH TOLD THEM TO AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. THEY HAVE ORDERED ANOTHER RADIO, BUT THE ETA OF SHIPPING KEEPS GETTING PUSHED BACK FURTHER AND FURTHER. THE NEW DATE IS MARCH 8TH OF 2018, AND I WILL GUARANTEE THE RADIO WILL NOT COME IN THEN EITHER. I AM MAKING PAYMENTS AND PAYING INSURANCE ON A CAR THAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE. I AM ALSO TRAPPED IN A LEASE WITH NO WAY TO GET OUT OF IT AND GET ANOTHER CAR THAT WORKS. THIS IS FAR PAST UNACCEPTABLE AT THIS POINT!

VEHICLE EXHIBITED SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE, WHICH HAD BEEN ON CRUISE CONTROL, WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED IN TRAFFIC FOR 30-45 SECONDS ON I-95 IN SOUTH CAROLINA. THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD WHILE THE DRIVER YELLED AT ME 'MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE'. IT SUBSIDED ONCE, THEN SURGED AHEAD AGAIN, LEAVING SKID MARKS AND COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. IT THEN SURGED A THIRD TIME, PLOUGHING THAT CAR AHEAD, BEFORE THE DRIVER COULD SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK

AFTER TURNING ON THE IGNITION AND PUTTING CAR INTO REVERSE THE REVERSE LIGHT FLASHES AND CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE, SAME FOR PUTTING INTO DRIVE. ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS PROBLEM ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THE CAR CAN GO INTO REVERSE. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER THEY HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS AND COULD ONLY RECREATE THE PROBLEM ONCE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE PRIOR TO BRINGING IT INTO THE DEALER. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY ELECTRICAL OR ENGINE ISSUES. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT HOME AND WHEN IT LASTED TO LONGER THEN TO NOTIFY THEM. VERY DISCONCERTING!! HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR!

THE VEHICLE BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE (EG, IT WOBBLES ) WHEN I STEP LIGHTLY ON THE BREAK AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH AND ABOVE. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE HAS A HIGH RISK OF ROLLING OVER ( I LIGHTLY MOVED THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID COLLISION WITH A RECKLESS DRIVER THAT ALMOST HITS MY CAR SIDEWAYS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE CAR LOST CONTROL NEARLY ROLLING OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTIONED ON FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE.

EVERY TIME I GO TO PUMP GAS IN THE CAR, THE PUMP WILL STOP AS IF IT'S FULL. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO 495 CHRYSLER, JEEP, AND DODGE IN LOWELL, MA 5 TIMES NOW AND THEY FIXED IT ONCE AND IT WAS FINE. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER IT STARTED DOING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. THEY SAY IT'S THE GAS STATIONS AND THAT I HAVE TO LOOK FOR CERTAIN PUMPS, ETC. I GO TO THE SAME PUMP AND GAS STATION EACH TIME AND WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND TESTING GAS STATIONS TO SEE WHICH WILL WORK. MY CAR WILL STAY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3-4 DAYS JUST FOR THEM TO SAY THAT IT'S THE GAS STATIONS FAULT AND NOT THEIRS. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE MILEAGE WAS AT 5298 AND NOW IT IS CURRENTLY AT 14,124 WITH ONLY 1 YEAR AND 2 MONTHS OF USE. I CURRENTLY HAVE A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER AS OF RIGHT NOW.

ON 01/09/19 MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH HER VEHICLE RAN OFF THE ROADWAY DOWN AN EMBANKMENT RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE SUSTAINING A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO DAMAGES. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AS IT HIT SOME TYPE OF BARRIER WHICH DESTROYED THE UNDER CARRIAGE STRIKING TWO TREES BEFORE IT CAME TO REST ABOUT 300 YARDS OFF THE ROADWAY. MY CONCERN IS THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THIS HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WHICH FORTUNATELY MY WIFE ONLY SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES.

UNABLE TO FILL WITH FUEL. JEEP IS BLAMING THE GAS PUMPS. 4,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. JEEP HAS ADVISED TURNING THE PUMP HANDLE WHICH ELIMINATES THE FUEL CUT OFF AND CAUSES GAS TO SPILL. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE.

THE JEEP WILL RESTART AFTER PUSHING THE START/STOP BUTTON. THE RPM GAUGE WILL DROP TO 0 AND THEN IT WILL RESTART AGAIN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON AGAIN LIKE WHEN YOU FIRST START IT. SOMETIMES IT'S RIGHT AWAY AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES SOMETIME. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES THAT IT HAS RESTARED AND RAN FOR A FEW HOURS IN A PARKING DECK. I AM WORRIED THAT IF I PARK IT IN THE GARAGE THE CARBON MONOXIDE MIGHT POISON OUR FAMILY.*DT *JB

REVERSE BACKUP CAMERA SUDDENLY STOPPED WORK. VERY HAZARDOUS BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE THAT'S NOT WORKING. GOD FORBID I RUN OVER A CHILD SINCE I RELY ON THE CAMERA TO REVERSE. I HAVE VIDEO PROOF OF THE ACQUIRING MALFUNCTION

I PURCHASED A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED IN SEPTEMBER 2018. WITH BARELY 1,400 MILES ON IT, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC FOR TWO STRAIGHT HOURS ON 287 IN ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS THE ROAD WAS CLOSED DUE TO A TRUCK FIRE. SUDDENLY THE BRAKE COMPLETELY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR ROLLED INTO A MAC TRUCK. I HAD FRONT END DAMAGE IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,100, WHICH I PAID FOR MYSELF; AND, NO ONE WAS INJURED, THANK GOD. JEEP WOULD NOT EVEN GIVE ME PERMISSION TO RENT A CAR IN THE INTERIM. I CALLED OVER 25 TIMES AND COULDN'T GET PAST FIRST LINE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE ENGINEER CAME AND DID A VERY QUICK INSPECTION OF THIS CAR. HE CLAIMS THAT HE DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT; BUT, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AND FROM THE SERVICE SHOP AS I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. I PAID OVER $40,000 CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE UPFRONT. I GOT NOWHERE WITH JEEP CORPORATE. I EVEN TRIED TO WRITE TO THE PRESIDENT OF JEEP; BUT, DID NOT RECEIVE AN ANSWER. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T ASSIST ME EITHER. I HAVE READ ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES ON THE INTERNET WITH THE CHEROKEE, THE COMPASS AND THE GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER A MONTH, JEEP CORPORATE SENT ME A FORM LETTER STATING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM; AND, I SHOULD TAKE IT UP WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHICH I DIDN'T DO AS THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT. THE FORM LETTER HAS NO NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, NOR EMAIL ADDRESS. AS A RESULT, I AM STUCK WITH THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE, AS I CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IT IN AND LOSE THOUSAND OF DOLLARS.

THE AIR SUSPINSION HAS BEEN ACTIN UP SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN FEB 2018. IT WASNT TOO BAD SO I JUST LEFT IT ALONE AND DIDNT USE IT. LATER IT STARTED FLASHING A WARNNING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGWAY SPEED TO "SERVICE AIR SUSPISION IMMEDIATLEY." THE SUSPINSION WENT INTO "PARK/EXIT MODE" AND THE TRUCK DROPPED AND IT DROVE VERY ROUGH. I TRAILERED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD IT 3 WEEKS. IT FAILED AS SOON AS I LEFT. NOW IT SEEMS STUCK IN OFF ROAD II MODE, BUT THE REAR IS HIGH AND FRONT IS LOW... ITS PITIFUL. I DO LOVE THE JEEP, BUT THIS IS GETTING AGGRIVATING. I'M TAKING IT BACK TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE READY FRO ME TO TRAVEL FOR CHRISTAMAS.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND. THEN A DASHBOARD MESSAGE POPPED UP STATING THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION NEEDED SERVICING IMMEDIATELY. THIS SAME MESSAGE APPEARED EVERY TIME WE STARTED THE CAR. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING, ANOTHER DASHBOARD MESSAGE POPPED UP INSTRUCTING TO REDUCE SPEED TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHICLE HEIGHT.

THE GOODYEAR TIRES HAVE LITTLE TREAD LEFT AFTER 14,000 MILES. ALSO, THE KEVLAR GOODYEAR ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO PENETRATION BY STAPLES. STAPLES! I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT NO TIRE IS IMPERVIOUS TO NAILS BUT I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT WITH KEVLAR THESE TIRES SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP A STAPLE. I GUESS NOT. PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS THE LACK OF TRACTION ON THE TIRES. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE IN THE RAIN. UNSAFE ACTUALLY. THESE TIRES NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS. WIPERS STARTED GOING AND MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN TO NOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF BECAUSE IT MAY NOT RESTART. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF IT WOULD NOT RESTART AND IT WAS STUCK IN THE RUN POSITION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THE VEHICLE OVER FIFTY CODES AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR WELL OVER A MONTH AND HAD TO REACH OUT THE CHRYSLER FOR ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. EVENTUALLY THE DEALERSHIP STATED A SENSOR HAD BECOME LOOSE AND THAT HAD CAUSED ALL THE PROBLEMS. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK AND WITHIN A WEEK I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT A MESSAGE POPPED UP THAT THE SHIFTER WAS MALFUNCTIONING, THIS MESSAGE CAME AND WENT MULTIPLE TIMES. A FEW DAYS LATER THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK THE NEXT DAY. THE FOLLOWING DAY WHILE DRIVING FROM WORK THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AGAIN AND THE SAME INITIAL ISSUE HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAS HAPPENED. THEY HAVE BEEN IN POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER MONTH WITH NO SOLUTION. CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM A PIN DRAG TEST, THIS TEST SUPPOSEDLY INVOLVES CHECKING EVERY WIRE AND CODE ON THE VEHICLE ONE AT A TIME. AS OF TODAYS DATE I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK.

I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON CAMBRIDGE RD. AS I WAS APPROACHING A SHOPPING PLAZA, A VEHICLE WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT OF THE PLAZA ALSO HEADING SOUTH. AS THE VEHICLE WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THE LEFT HAND TURN, IT PULLED IN FRONT OF MY CAR, DRIVING ME OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID HITTING THAT CAR, AND WHEN I DID I CRASHED INTO AN ELECTRICAL POLE, DESTROYING THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND TOTALING THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THIS IS WHY I'M FILING THIS REPORT.

'SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION IMMEDIATELY' IS THE WARNING ON MY JEEP AND MANY PEOPLES JEEPS SINCE 2015. THIS ISSUE IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER HAS NO ANSWER. WHERE IS THE RECALL?

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DOES NOT WORK. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE SYSTEM WILL WORK CORRECTLY IF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS ACTIVATED. ALL INFORMATION IN THE VARIOUS JEEP OWNER'S MANUAL DOES NOT SPECIFIC ACC ACTIVATION AS A REQUIREMENT. SEARCHING THE INTERNET REVEALS MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. JEEP DOESN'T SEEM INTERESTED IN HELPING.

I WAS STATIONARY(IN "PARK' MODE), SITTING IN MY VEHICLE MAKING A BANK TRANSACTION AT THE DRIVE THRU AT WELLS FARGO LOCATED AT 505 ROUND ROCK AVE, ROUND ROCK, TX. SUDDENLY THE JEEP ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN, I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND IT WOULDN'T STOP. SEE ALSO ODI 11140468. *DSY I TRAVELED MAYBE 15-20 YARDS BRAKING, BEFORE I CRASHED INTO THE WALK UP ATM. EXACT CAUSE? UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPRAYED BACK OUT FORCEFULLY INTO HER FACE. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE FOR FACIAL AND UPPER BODY BURNS DUE TO THE FUEL. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF A POLICE REPORT BEING FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CROTON AUTO PARK 1 MUNICIPAL PL, CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY 10520 (914) 271-5100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL FILLER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ENGAGED IN PARK, IT UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED TO 20 MPH AND CRASHED INTO AN ATM MACHINE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BUMPS AND BRUISES ALONG WITH THREE FRACTURED RIBS ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND AN INJURY TO THE RIGHT LEG THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL TOW YARD WHERE IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,240. SEE ALSO ODI 11141658. *DSY *DT UPDATE 10/18/18 *DT *TR

AFTER HAVING MY JEEP BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER ROUGHLY ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. WE BOUGHT OUR JEEP FROM AUTONATION IN SPRING, TX. WE LIVE IN GALVESTON COUNTY SO WHEN IT TURNED ON WE TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE FOR THE FREE CODE CHECK - THE CODE READ WAS P20E8 AND IT JUST SAID EMISSIONS CODE. NO SPECIFIC READOUT WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE CODE DETECTED. THE EXACT JEEP WE OWN IS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SERLING EDITION ECODIESEL. WE DID NOTICE THAT THE DEF FLUID WAS NOT PROPERLY FILLED TO THE FULL LEVEL UPON THE PURCHASE SO FIGURED IT COULD IN RELATION TO THAT. WE DROVE BACK UP TO SPRING TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID OK GOT US IN A RENTAL AND THEN WOULD CALL US AS SOON AS IT WAS READY. ONCE WE PICKED IT UP IT WE ASKED WHAT WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE CODE AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID 'OH WELL IT WAS NOTHING - JUST SOMETHING THAT WE FORGOT TO TURN OFF'. ON THE WAY HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN COMES BACK ON THE DASH. WE STOP BY ANOTHER JEEP DEALER IN THE WAY HOME AND INQUIRED WITH THEM WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE AND THEY SAID 'THAT WHATEVER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD YOU CANNOT BE TRUE'. THEN BILL OR SERVICE OR RECEIPT SAID CHECK ENGINE LIGHT P20E8 WAS FOUND DEF PUMP LOW PRESSURE FAULT IS STORED, FOUND TANK LOW WITH LESS THAN 2 INCHES OF FLUID IN TAKE, FOUND VEHICLE WAS NOT TOPPED OFF WHEN PURCHASED, ADDED DEF TO TANK AND CLEARED CODES AND VERIFIED PROPER DEF FLUID PRESSURES AT INJECTOR. THE LIGHT REMAINS ON TWO DAYS LATER AND NOW A MESSAGE POPS ON MY DASH AND SAID 'DEF SYSTEM PROBLEMS SEE DEALER'. NORMALLY I WOULD NOT BE SO UPSET BUT THIS A BRAND NEW CAR THE DEALER (NOT MENTIONED) WAS NOT EXACTLY HELPFUL DROPPING OFF OR RECEIVING THE VEHICLE BACK WITH ANY KIND OF HELPFUL INFORMATION. I LOVE MY CAR AND JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT CAN BE PROPERLY FIXED SO I HOPEFULLY DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY OR THE INTEGRITY OF MY CAR.

THROTTLE HAS STUCK ON FULL THROTTLE 2 TIMES WHILE ACCELERATING ON CITY STREET. THE ONLY WAY TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN WAS TO PUT TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND APPLY BRAKES HARD. VERY SCARY SITUATION! OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SANE PROBLEM. *DT CONSUMER STATED OTHER OWNERS HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED STUCK THROTTLES ALSO. 2017/2018 JEEP CHEROKEE SRT WITH 6.4 LITRE HEMI ENGINE AND 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRACKHAWK WITH SUPERCHARGED 602 HELLCAT HEMI ENGINE. I KNOW OF ONE PERSON THAT HAS FILED A CLAIM WITH THE NHTSA. I'VE ATTACHED 2 PICTURES OF MY THROTTLE PEDAL AND FLOOR MAT. WHEN FULLY DEPRESSED IT DOES NOT TOUCH THE FLOOR MAT. I PUSHED ON IT A HUNDRED TIMES AND IT DID NOT STICK. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE FLOOR MAT IS THE PROBLEM. I HAD IT AT THE DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. VERY SCARED TO DRIVE. UPDATED 10/18/18*JB

THIS SUV HAS THE ENERGY EFFICIENT SHUTDOWN/RESTART FEATURE. AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I RE-ENGAGED THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION BY LIFTING MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND BEGAN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE POWER TO ACCELERATE, YOU COULD HEAR THE GRINDING AND PULLING OF THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION BUT ONLY A LITTLE POWER. I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY HAZARD LIGHTS, LOOKED AROUND THE DASH FOR MESSAGES AND VERIFIED THAT THE GEAR WAS INDEED IN DRIVE. I CONTINUED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE THE TRUCK OUT OF TRAFFIC. I MADE IT TO A DRIVEWAY WHERE I COULD PULL OFF OF THE MAIN STREET AND NOT BLOCK THE MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, LOOKED AT EVERYTHING AGAIN (NO WARNINGS OR ERROR MESSAGES) AND PUT THE TRUCK IN GEAR AND IT MOVED AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. I MADE IT BACK TO THE STREET, WENT A SHORT DISTANCE (LESS THAN 2 BLOCKS), STARTED TO GO UP A SMALL HILL AND THE NO POWER ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY FROM MY DESTINATION, SO I S-L-O-W-L-Y MADE IT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. I PARKED IN MY OFFICE'S GARAGE, REPORTED TO WORK AND CONTEMPLATED WHAT TO DO. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK SINCE THE END OF JUNE AND IT HAS ONLY 1,100 MILES. I WILL BE DROPPING IT OFF/TOWING IT IN TO THE DEALER REPAIR SHOP TOMORROW. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NOT ACCEPTABLE JEEP!

SCRAPPING/GRINDING COMING FROM THE WHEELS. SOUNDS LIKE THE DISC ROTOR DUST SHIELD IS RUBBING AGAINST THE ROTOR. I HEARD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. LET'S SEE WHAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS.

MY 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK'S SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY DURING A HOT SUMMER DAY. I HEARD AN INITIAL LOUD CRACK SOUND AND MOMENTS LATER THE FRONT SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED OUTWARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE GLASS SHOWERED INTO MY VEHICLE AND OVER MY HEAD. I SHUT THE SUNSCREEN WHICH HELPED, BUT THERE WAS MILLIONS OF GLASS SHARDS AND FRAGMENTS ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF MY CAR AND THROUGHOUT THE CEILING. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS ~6500 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2018 BRAND NEW. I HAD THE CAR TOWED ON A FLATBED TRUCK TO THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM AND SINCE, IT'S BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP 3 TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT SUNROOF GLASS, SEALS AND VACUUMED OUT MY CAR, HOWEVER THE DAY AFTER PICKING IT UP, MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF GLASS REMAINED IN THE CEILING AREA. THE SECOND ATTEMPT AND CLEANING UP THE GLASS, THEY HAD TO REMOVED THE INTERIOR HEADER AND SEATS TO TRY AND EXTRACT ALL THE BROKEN GLASS FRAGMENTS. I'M TAKING THE CAR BACK IN FOR THE 4TH TIME, BECAUSE THERE IS STILL BROKEN GLASS SHIFTING AROUND BETWEEN THE SUNROOF AND SUNSCREEN. THE REPAIRS HAVE THUS FAR BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY (MANUFACTURED DEFECT), BUT THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE IS RUINED. I'LL BE WORKING WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TO SEE WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE AND IF THEY WILL OFFER A NEW REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR BUY BACK. VERY SCARY AND GRATEFUL NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT... I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED TO SAY THE LEAST AND THE SAGA CONTINUES.

ON OCCASION, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED ALL OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IT WOULD GET STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS AT FULL THROTTLE AND THE BRAKES WILL NOT OVERCOME THE ENGINE. I'VE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE BY REMOVING THE FLOOR MAT. I CALLED JEEP CARES AND WARNED THEM OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY'VE KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. I'M REPORTING THIS WITH THE HOPE THAT YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS AND GET A WARNING OUT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR *DT UPDATED 10/29/18*JB

BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY IS FULL BRIGHTNESS AT NIGHT AND NOT DIMMABLE. EFFECT OF FLASH BRIGHTNESS WHEN PLACING VEHICLE INTO REVERSE CAUSES TEMPORARY LIGHT BLINDNESS AS WELL AS REDUCES EXTERNAL VISIBILITY SUCH THAT MIRRORS AND VISUAL OBSERVATION ARE IMPAIRED SIGNIFICANTLY. IT IS NECESSARY TO MANUALLY COVER THE SCREEN WITH A SHIELD AS THE "SCREEN OFF" BUTTON WILL ALSO NOT TURN OFF THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAYED. OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT NIGHT.

WHEN I TRY TO PUT GAS INTO MY TANK, THE PUMP CUTS OFF. IT TAKES FIVE MINUTES TO GET $16 WORTH OF GAS! IT'S GETTING WORSE. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT PUMPS, DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS NOTHING HELPS. THE DEALER CLAIMS TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. TODAY, THE GAS WAS SPIT BACK OUT! SO I HAVE SHOES AND FEET SOAKED IN GAS! IT IS A CAPLESS GAS TANK.

I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AT 33 MPH.THERE WAS A CAR IN THE INTERSECTION RUNNING A RED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME.I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE STUTTERED 3X AND THEN SPED UP OUT OF CONTROL AND LAUNCHED ME INTO THE CAR THAT WAS IN THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS A COLLISION..

ON HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR JEEP WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND STARTED TO THE LEFT. WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AFTER A FEW SECONDS, BUT WAS VERY LUCKY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES TO OUR LEFT OR WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO IT. ON JULY 18, 2018, RECALL 18U65183 18-U6-51-83 REPROGRAM PCM WITH NEW SOFTWARE WAS INSTALLED.

VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 8.4 INCH UCONNECT/NAV 4C TOUCH SCREEN. THIS SYSTEM/SCREEN CONTROLS THE RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROL, HEATED/COOLED SEATS, PHONE, NAVIGATION, ETC. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 20-30 MINUTES USING ONLY THE RADIO, THE TOUCH SCREEN BECOMES HOT TO THE TOUCH. RECENTLY THE SCREEN REACHED 127.7 DEGREES (SEE ATTACHED PICTURE). VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER ON 7/30/18 AND THE ISSUE WAS ESCALATED UP TO FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES. FCA CLAIMS THE COMPONENTS ARE OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THIS DOES NOT SEEM CORRECT. EXCESSIVELY HIGH TEMPERATURES CAN COMPROMISE THE ELECTRONICS IN THE DASH AND COULD LEAD TO ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND POSSIBLE FIRE. I WOULD APPRECIATE NHTSA LOOKING INTO THIS BEFORE THERE IS A FIRE OR POSSIBLE INJURY.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF /STALLED WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM AN INTERSECTION ON A LOCAL ROAD (VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION). THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED AFTER THE "PUSH-BUTTON" WAS PRESSED 3 TIMES

CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WITH A OPEN RECALL. IT WAS PURCHASED JUNE 13, 2018 AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE JULY 11, 2018. THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LINE AND AUTOMATIC SHUT WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. CAR WOULD VIBRATE WHEN DRIVING. SCREEN WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN IN REVERSE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE, STEERING CONTROL WENT OUT AND TRACTION CONTROL KICKED ON. THIS CAUSED AN INABILITY TO PROPERLY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. TRACTION CONTROL PULLED VEHICLE INTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT.

"TAKATA RECALL" I NOTICE ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING MY GRAND CHEROKEE 2018,MY HAND BRASH AGAINST WITH A LIGHT TOUCH TO GEAR SHIFTER SLIP INTO NEUTRAL.WHILE I'M ON THE HIGHWAY MOVING. I NEVER BEEN IN VEHICLE THAT YOU BARLEY TOUCH THE GEAR BOX AND THIS HAPPEN NOT GOOD.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ARE PRONOUNCED, CAUSE THE SUV TO JERK AND FEEL JUMPY. THIS CONDITION IS SPORADIC, AND CAN CHANGE BASED ON MODE - NORMAL, ECO OFF, SPORT . BESIDES CAUSING A CHOPPY RIDE, THE CONDITION IS UNACCEPTABLE AND MAY BE A R A PRECURSOR TO GEAR FAILURE.

AT A GAS STATION, WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WHEN FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, WHEN I START PUMPING GAS, THE TANK STOPS TAKING GAS AS IF THE TANK IS FULL. IN ORDER TO CONTINUE FILLING THE GAS TANK, I HAVE TO HOLD THE GAS HOSE HANDLE IN A SPECIFIC POSITION TO ALLOW THE GAS TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT STOPPING. RESULTS IN FILLING THE TANK AT A VERY SLOW PACE. UNSURE IF THERE IS A SENSOR ISSUE WITHIN THE GAS TANK ITSELF. OCCURS RANDOMLY.

2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ODOMETER AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED MILEAGE RECORDED ON THE ODOMETER DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE MANUFACTURER'S DISCLOSED MILES PER GALLON. THE GEARS OF THE TRANSMISSION ARE DEFECTIVE, THE GEAR SHIFTS INTO AN UNKNOWN GEAR AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD.*JS *JS *JS *JS *JS *TR *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE ENGINE SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!...MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE SCREEN WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS "SHIFT TO P TO START". IT HAS HAPPENED 3X YESTERDAY AND ABOUT A WEEK AGO ONCE. TOOK TO JEEP DEALER YESTERDAY AND THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE.

COMPLAINED OF AN OIL LEAK(OIL MARKS ON THE GARAGE FLOOR AND CARDBOARD PLACE TO VERIFY) PRIOR TO 7500 MILES. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO FIND THE OIL LEAK THE FIRST TIME. TOOK IT BACK 1 WEEK LATER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT AN OIL LEAK. DEALERSHIP PLACED DYE INTO OIL TO FIND THE LEAK. LEAK WAS FOUND TO BE THE SEAL BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. WHEN DEALERSHIP WENT TO REPLACE SEAL, THEY STATED THE BLOCK WAS CRACKED DUE TO "BEING MACHINED DURING THE ASSEMBLY". NOW WAITING FOR A NEW ENGINE TO BE REPLACED ON A NEW VEHICLE OF 4 MONTHS. OUCH!

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ARE PRONOUNCED, CAUSE THE SUV TO JERK AND FEEL JUMPY. THIS CONDITION IS SPORADIC, AND CAN CHANGE BASED ON MODE - NORMAL, ECO OFF, SPORT . BESIDES CAUSING A CHOPPY RIDE, THE CONDITION IS CONCERNING BECAUSE SOME SHIFTS THAT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO JERK ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A BANGING NOISE THAT MAY BE A R A PRECURSOR TO GEAR FAILURE.

I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 5 MONTHS. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PUMPS, THE PUMP STOPS LIKE THE TANK IS FULL EVEN THOUGH I JUST STARTED PUMPING. ALSO RANDOMLY THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT DISPLAY AND THEN THE ENTIRE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND RESTARTS WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD OR WHILE IN REVERSE *TT

MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW 11/2018, WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON TO START IT, 75% OF THE TIME IT WON'T START AND TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. ALSO WHEN I SHIFT INTO REVERSE, THE R JUST FLASHES AND THE VEHICLE WON'T REVERSE. IT WON'T MOVE UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT AGAIN. THESE TWO PROBLEMS OCCUR FREQUENTLY.

WHILE TRYING TO PUMP GAS, THE PUMP WOULD POP CLOSED AS IF THE GAS TANK WAS FULL WHEN IN ACTUALITY IT HAD ONLY JUST STARTED TO PUMP. IT WOULD CONTINUE TO DO THAT EVEN AFTER ADJUSTING HOW THE PUMP SAT IN THE TANK. IT TOOK ROUGHLY 15 MINUTES TO PUMP A COUPLE GALLONS OF GAS. THE CAR HAS NOW DONE THIS TWICE AT DIFFERENT PUMPS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS.

BRAND NEW GRAND CHEROKEE, ONLY 400 MILES, TODAY MY BACKUP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING. ON THE DISPLAY I HAVE AN ICON "BACKUP CAMERA" WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CLICK THIS THE BACKUP CAMERA WOULD NOT POP-UP. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND KEPT IT OFF FOR 10 MINUTES, RE-STARTED THE CAR, THE JEEP DISPLAY DOES NOT POP-UP WITH THE SAFETY NOTIFICATION AND THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT COME ON THE SCREEN WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN REVERSE. IT WAS WORKING FINE THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS MORNING IT WILL NOT WORK. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY ARE UNSURE WHAT IT IS AND MAY BE A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I JUST PAID $60,000 DOLLARS AND HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS AND THE BACKUP CAMERA IS NOT WORKING NOW!

WE WERE USING CRUISE CONTROL IN OUR NEW JEEP. AS WE WERE APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, WE TRIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY USING THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY ENGAGED AND LOCKED, BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT MOVING FORWARD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, THE DRIVER OF AN 18 WHEELER SAW US UNABLE TO STOP AND SWERVED. HIS SWERVING AND OUR STEERING CAUSED US TO BE STOPPED BY HIS HIND WHEEL. IF THE OTHER DRIVER HAD NOTICED US ONE SECOND SLOWER, WE WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN DEAD. THERE WAS $11,121.91 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO OUR BRAND NEW JEEP WITH 3,500 MILES ON IT. THIS JEEP IS NOT YET PART OF THE RECALL FOR THE EXACT CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE OUTLINED. WE ARE FILING THIS, BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT ANOTHER OWNER OF THIS MODEL TO NOT BE AS LUCKY AS US AND WE WOULD LIKE TO NOT BE OUT OF POCKET FOR THE DAMAGES. JEEP FLEW SOMEONE DOWN FROM MICHIGAN TO CHECK OUT THE VEHICLE'S BLACK BOX AND SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WE HAVE THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE TRUCK DRIVER WHO CAN ATTEST THAT THE BRAKES WERE FULLY ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE ALL WALKED AWAY UNHARMED PHYSICALLY, BUT THE MONETARY PAIN CUTS DEEP. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH UPHILL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE TRAVELED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY AND CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE ABS AND SKID CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED RIB INJURIES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (CROWE AUTO GROUP, LLC, 303 TENNEY ST, KEWANEE, IL 61443, (309) 852-2188) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,558.

SIRIUSXM TRAVEL LINK - IS THE PROBLEM. I WAS ENROLLED BY THE DEALER WITHOUT BEING ASKED. SIRIUSXM TRAVEL LINK POPS UP MESSAGES THAT ARE DISTRACTING TO ME AS A DRIVER. THEY POP UP AND WILL NOT GO AWAY WITHOUT PHYSICALLY TOUCHING THE HIGH-TECH SCREEN. AND THEY SEEM TO HAVE A HABIT OF APPEARING WHEN I AM APPROACHING A TURN WHILE USING THE NAVIGATION FEATURES. HOWEVER, SINCE THEY ACTUALLY INTERFERE WITH MY DRIVING (AND FRUSTRATE ME TOO) THEY ARE A DANGER. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, I HAVE CONTACTED SIRIUSXM AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO TURN TRAVEL LINK OFF. THE DATE BELOW IS TODAYS DATE, BUT IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. OFTEN GIVING ME WARNINGS FOR "WEATHER EVENTS" TWO STATES AWAY !!! REGARDING A CRASH ... ALL I CAN SAY IS NOT YET (BUT HAS A HIGHER POTENTIAL).

BACKUP CAMERA FAILED TO WORK. JEEP ONLY HAS 3062 MILES ON IT SINCE PURCHASED BRAND NEW.

MY BACKUP CAMERA HAS QUIT WORKING. IT WON'T EVEN TURN ON. THE UCONNECT IS ALSO UNRESPONSIVE AS FAR AS TRYING TO TURN OFF THE UNIT. I TRIED THE THREE RESET OPTIONS AND NOTHING. I CAN'T FORCE AN UPDATE OR ANYTHING. SO NOW I HAVE NO BACKUP CAMERA.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 5:30AM. CLEAR TRAFFIC AND NO LARGE TRUCK IN FRONT. SPEED AROUND 65 MPH AND MY SUNROOF FAILED BY SHATTERING FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON AND GLASS FELL FROM TOP TO THE FLOOR. HAVE MINOR CUT AND THE GLASS. TRAVELING ON FREEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE 'SHIFT INTO PARK AND SELECT GEAR" MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AFTERWARDS. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE ENGINE TWICE. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, A GEAR COULD NOT BE SELECTED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED A THIRD TIME, IT STARTED NORMALLY AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO THE DRIVE GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER (WACONIA JEEP/CHRYSLER/DODGE, 905 STRONG DRIVE WACONIA, MINNESOTA 55387) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,056. *TT *TR

UCONNECT MESSAGE CAME UP STATING THAT MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN ALL ACTUALITY IT WAS NOT, HOWEVER, I NOTICED MY VENTS BLOWING OUT COOL AIR WHEN I HAD ON THE HEAT. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET.

SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LEADS TO TOTAL LOSS ON ON MARCH 30 , 2018. THIS IS MY STORY: I BOUGHT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2018 TRAILHAWK FROM THE ORANGE PARK CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE, RAM DEALERSHIP AKA DARSCARS OF JACKSONVILLE AT 7233 BLANDING BLVD (904) 777-5500 ON OCTOBER 21, 2017 UNDER A THREE YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT WITH ALLY AUTO FINANCE (1-888) 925-2559. ON MARCH 30, 2018 WITH APPROXIMATELY 3700 MILES I WAS AT THE GATEWAY PISTOL AND RIFLE RANGE AT IN JACKSONVILLE WITH MY FRIEND CHARLIE FOR PISTOL SHOOTING. MY CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OF ONE OF THE STEEL SHEDS. WHEN RAIN STARTED WE DECIDED TO DRIVE MY CAR AROUND AND UNDER THE SHED. I TOOK THE CAR AROUND BUT COULDN'T QUITE MAKE IT INTO THE SHED AND HAD TO BACK UP. WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AND MY FRIEND TOLD ME LATER THAT MY REAR WHEELES STARTED SPINNING, WHICH THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO. WHEN MY CAR WAS IN THE RIGHT POSITION MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BREAK I SHIFTED TO "DRIVE". AT THIS MOMENT THE ENGINE ROARED UP AND RACED FORWARD. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I STEERED IT INTO THE NEXT EMPTY SHOOTING BAY IN 1/2 CIRCLE INTO THE BACKSTOP ENDING UP AT THE WALL WHICH WAS DAMAGED IN THE PROCESS. ALL FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE. IT WAS PLAIN LUCK THAT NOBODY WAS HURT. THE CAR IS PRESENTLY IN THE HANDS OF MY INSURER AAA WHO DECLARED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS CASE OF PRODUCT LIABILITY FOR WHICH THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE! I FOUND OUT YESTERDAY THAT THERE IS A SPECIAL PHONE NUMBER FOR CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE IN CHARGE OF LEMON CAR ISSUES 1-844-521-8188. MY COMPLAINT HAS A CASE NUMBER 33880270.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4807 KIRBY DR., HOUSTON, TX 77098, (713) 524-3801) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V048000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO ANOTHER AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALER TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V048000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,593.

ON JANUARY 25, 2018 I WROTE A LETTER TO MY LOCAL DEALER (ANCHORAGE CHRYSLER CENTER) ASKING FOR THEIR HELP IN WORKING WITH JEEP CHRYSLER TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS OF MY BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUMMIT FREEZING TO THE WINDSHIELD WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS WITH FULL DEFROST WHILE OPERATING IN FRIGID COLD TEMPERATURES. ALONG WITH THE LETTER I INCLUDED A FEW PHOTOS THAT SHOWED THE PROBLEM, THOUGH THEY HARDLY DID IT JUSTICE. ON FEBRUARY 7, 2018 I RECEIVED A REPLY FROM FCA THAT THEY "UNDERSTOOD WHY THIS MIGHT CAUSE A CONCERN, BUT THE CHARACTERISTIC I DESCRIBED WAS NOT RELATED TO A DEFECT IN MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP, MANUFACTURING OR FACTORY PREPARATION AND THEREFORE THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE (PARAPHRASED)." ON FEBRUARY 13, 2018, I WROTE FCA A REPLY DISAGREEING WITH THEIR FINDINGS AND CITED THE DESIGN FEATURE THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY DID IN FACT PROVIDE THE OPTION ON THE 2018 CHEROKEE'S, BUT NOT THE GRAND CHEROKEE'S. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC AND ASKED FOR THEIR HELP IN IDENTIFYING A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM "ON MY NEW $50,000+ AUTOMOBILE." IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN A MONTH AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPLY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AT THEIR LACK OF A REPLY. I REMAIN CONVINCED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I WOULD LIKE JEEP TO HAVE A SETTING ADDED TO THE CAR SETTINGS TO HAVE THE DEFAULT STATUS OF THE THE START STOP ENGINE SET TO OFF SO THAT THE DRIVER HAS THE OPTION TO HAVE IT OFF RATHER THAN PRESSING THE BUTTON EVERY SINGLE TIME. I WAS DRIVING THE YESTERDAY AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE LAG BETWEEN THE ENGINE STARTING UP AND ME PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. IT POSES A DANGER TO THE DRIVE/PASSENGER AND OTHER MOTORISTS. THIS IS A SIMPLE SOFTWARE FIX THAT FIAT/CHRYSLER COULD SEND OUT TO ALL VEHICLES EQUIPT WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY.

I DROVE THIS VEHICLE TO WORK AND PARKED IT IN A PARKING STRUCTURE AT 8:00 IN THE MORNING. BY 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON, THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE VEHICLE SAT ALL DAY IN THE STRUCTURE. UNKNOWN AS TO WHY IT CAUGHT FIRE, BUT THE FIRE ORIGINATED SOMEWHERE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I TOOK DELIVERY OF THIS VEHICLE 8 DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED AND IT ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES ON IT. *TT *JS *DT *JB

DRIVING THE AUTO AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AT A RED LIGHT AND THE BRAKES ONLY PARTIALLY ENGAGED AND THE AUTO WENT THROUGH THE RED LIGHT. DROVE UP TO THE NEXT LIGHT AS THE CAR WAS JUST ABOUT TO STOP IT ACCELERATED FORWARD INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THERE IS A SAFETY FEATURE CALLED "FORWARD COLLISION WARNING" WHICH SHOULD APPLY THE BRAKES AND DID NOT WORK (INSTEAD OF BRAKING WITH THE JEEP SAFETY FEATURE THE AUTO ACCELERATED). THE DEALER REPAIRED THE DAMAGE PAID BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY BUT COULD NOT TELL ME WHY THIS HAPPENED OR PROVIDE ASSURANCE THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE WITH THE NTSB AND REVIEW THE "BLACK BOX". IF THE TRUCK WAS NOT IN FRONT OF OUR VEHICLE WE WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THE RED LIGHT INTO A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. THE CAR HAD SLOWED TO 5 MPH AND WAS TEN FEET FROM AUTO IN FRONT AND THEN ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 15 MPH IN A FEW SECONDS.

I HAVE A FEW OCCURRENCES TO TELL ABOUT. 1. WHEN TAKING IT THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH CAR WASH IT WAS PROPELLED FORWARD AT AN UNSAFE SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT STILL WAS SHOT FORWARD AND THE BRAKES HAD TO BE APPLIED QUICKLY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. 2. AFTER COMING OFF A FREEWAY AND COMING TO THE FIRST STOPLIGHT, WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER HIT 0 THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. I TURNED THE AUTO STOP OFF AND PROCEED DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I HIT THE NEXT STOPLIGHT, IT DID THE SAME THING, LURCHED FORWARD HARD, WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER HIT 0. 3. WHILE GETTING UP TO SPEED, 70, ON A FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO "MISS" GEARS AND IT LURCHED A FEW TIMES. 4. WHEN APPROACHING A TURN, AT SLOW A VERY SLOW SPEED, I TAPPED THE GAS FOR A LITTLE MORE SPEED AND IT PROPELLED ME FORWARD HARD AND I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES. 5. IN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP AN ALERT POPPED UP ON THE CENTER SCREEN INDICATING THE CONTROL PANEL HAD DETECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER SYSTEM AND IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND THIS IN THE COMPUTER MEMORY ANYWHERE AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. AT TIMES I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND THE WHOLE REASON I BOUGHT IT IS TO FEEL SAFE AND SECURE. RIGHT NOW THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 1,000 MILES ON IT.

DISPLAY DASH SCREEN SHUTS OFF AND ON APPX EVERY 30 SECONDS, REBOOTS, AND OVERHEATS, DRIVING OR STATIONARY.

UNCONNECT SYSTEM IN MY 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND TURNS OFF AND ON BY ITSELF EVER 60 SECONDS WHETHER YOU ARE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. I BELIEVE IT STARTED THIS MORNING OR LAST NIGHT. YOU CANNOT USE BLUETOOTH, THE HEAT OR THE RADIO. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 1 MONTH AGO AND THEY SAID I WAS THE 6TH REPORT TODAY AND THE VEHICLES IN THEIR LOT WERE DOING IT AS WELL. THEY STATED THAT THE UNCONNECT SYSTEM MIGHT HAVE BEEN HACKED.
