This has happened three (3) times to me. The instrument cluster on my 2014 jeep Grand Cherokee just blackouts and the windshield wipers go on, then multiple cluster warning lights illumination and a loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) / electronic stability control system function stops. The vehicle slows down because of loss of power. A loss of instrument cluster illumination and/or loss of ABS function while driving could cause a crash.

I noticed things like the cluster going completely black at random and it would last for seconds before re-illuminating; it happens while driving. I took in my vehicle to the dealership on June 28, 2022, two days prior, I noticed that my doors were unlocking while I was inside my workplace, the alarm was going off another day and I noticed shifting issues with the transmission. On June 27, 2022 I was forced to buy a brand new battery because the Jeep was running in Power Saving Mode, instead of taking a risk with a low battery, I bought a new one and thought everything was good, but it continued to run in Power Saving Mode; I received two CEL CODES, both correlating to the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Later that evening my son informed me that the cluster light was still on, the JEEP had been parked for several hours so there was no reason for the light to still be ON (WAKE MODE?). Also, I notated the codes I received before I had to have the Jeep towed to the dealership on Jun 28th to compare to what the service dept came up with; however on Jun 28th I attempted to jump the battery to take it to the service center but it wouldn’t Jump or charge; what happened was, just before the cluster went haywire, the wipers were moving across the windshield while it was in an OFF position, the UCONNECT was glitching out then went black, Cluster warned to service the electronic ABS and the SHIFTER, the fuse box was vibrating and shuddering very loudly, a hissing noise was coming from the back of the vehicle (could be the fuel pump? like compressed air) so by Monday morning, the 27th the battery had completely died and by the time it got to the dealership on Tues, I had to use the battery warranty to replace the battery so that the service department could then diagnose the Jeep. Fine, the battery was replaced Jun 30th with a brand new one, but by Fri Jun 8th I was told I need another brand new battery. All the issues had had a prior recall and seem to be reoccurring.

Defective transfer case gear motor and transfer case control module. This causes vehicle lurching while at slow speeds I.e. In a parking lot in drive or reverse driving straight but worse when turning. Also caused loss of ABS, traction control and forward collision warning systems.

Vehicle experiences random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination, loss of speed display, and loss of ABS and ESC system functions. Sometimes vehicle shifts into 3rd gear, and does not respond to shift commands. This occurs randomly, sometimes right after start-up, sometimes after a few minutes of driving.

Service 4wd illuminated on the dash. Traction control and ABS lights lit up and cruise control disengaged while going down the road. The vehicle is now in the shop for an expected ABS module failure.

While in motion, on my way work, my 2014 grand cherokee summit with 3.0 l turbo diesel engine, 220 amp alternator and 49000 miles experienced a loss of power steering, battery light came on, voltmeter showed no charging of battery. My electronic indicator system stated the vehicle went into battery saver mode with a loss of ABS, heating and ventilation, air suspension system, all safety enhancements such as park sense, no electronic transmission system changes and check engine light came on. There was a recall on gasoline engine 2014 grand cherokees along with others (chrysler recall t36) and I have seen another complaint similar to mine sharing the same engine on this sight. I do believe this is was caused by catastrophic alternator failure. A new battery was installed and the battery light is still on and still in battery saver mode( an indicator also of no charging) and volmeter indicates no charging. I will be replacing the alternator tomorrow.
