I was driving my new grand cherokee with 121 miles on the odometer. As I was moving forward with the vehicle in drive and was attempting to turn around to- re-enter a highway the engine stopped. I immediately put the vehicle in park and attempted to restart the vehicle numerous times with no luck. The vehicle was stuck in park with the wheels turned to the left. The rest of the electronics worked but the the vehicle locked in park it could not be moved. This represents an extreme hazard to the motoring public as if I had gone 10 feet further and the engine stalled I would have been in the middle of a busy highway. This is totally unacceptable engineering by jeep. Two towing companies attempted to unlock this vehicle from park with no success. Very hazardous and disappointing work by chrysler.
2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee steering complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 102 of 102, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When I shift the transfer case in to neutral, for towing behind my rv, and then put the transfer case back in to gear so I can drive the jeep the power steering is inoperable for 20-30 minutes. If I had an emergency the jeep would not be able to be driven for that time period. The local jeep dealer can not find any codes indicating a problem. I have since test driven other 2021 jeep grand cherokees and found the same problem
