2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee suspension problems

Filed Oct 15, 2026 · Suspension · KY

This recall notice (26V‑562) is the third time that Jeep has provided such a notice for precisely the same problem. On two previous occasions (24V‑413 and 26V‑051), the car was returned to the dealer and work was performed. Although Jeep appears to be following the guidelines for discovery and communication of a safety defect, the conclusion here is that the subject defect occurred in the design phase or in the assembly process at the factory, and, despite two recalls and the passage of at least four years, the problem has not been resolved on a reasonably timely basis. The traveling public remains at risk.

Our 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe began making popping noises around the front wheel area while driving at approximately 45,000 miles. We paid a Jeep dealership to diagnose the problem. The dealership told us the control-arm bushings were worn and that the entire control-arm assembly needed replacement, with an estimated repair cost of approximately $5,500. We are concerned that a suspension component has failed prematurely at this mileage. The popping noises and diagnosed wear make us concerned about the vehicle’s safety. The dealership stated that the bumper-to-bumper warranty had expired and that the repair was not covered by the powertrain warranty. After the dealership’s diagnostic visit, a sway bar warning light also began appearing. We do not know whether this warning is related to the original problem, but it adds to our safety concerns. We subsequently took the vehicle to an independent licensed mechanic. According to that mechanic, Jeep informed him that the required parts were on backorder, creating an additional obstacle to completing the repair. While researching the symptoms, we found reports from other owners describing similar problems, along with potentially relevant service bulletins. We are providing those references for the federal safety agency’s review. We understand that these reports and the parts backorder do not, by themselves, establish a widespread defect. We cannot currently afford the quoted repair and are concerned about continuing to drive the vehicle. We request that the federal safety agency review this complaint for a possible safety-related suspension or sway bar defect and determine whether further investigation is warranted.

I am reporting a critical structural suspension failure and dealer safety negligence on my 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee (30,000 miles, clean title). Sequence of Events & Safety Hazards: 1. July 7 & July 13, 2026: I brought the vehicle to the authorized Jeep dealership Suburban Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Troy because a rear splash shield was hanging. The technician zip-tied it first, then completely removed the shield on July 13, claiming it was "unimportant," without diagnosing why it fell. 2. October 3, 2026: I received an official FCA recall notice regarding rear suspension safety. 3. October 5, 7, and 9, 2026: I contacted FCA Customer Care 3 separate times to report the suspension defect and safety concerns. 4. October 7, 2026 Inspection: I brought the car to the dealership for inspection per FCA guidance. The dealership diagnosed a broken right rear suspension bracket at the exact spot where the shield was removed. 5. Dealer Negligence: Despite diagnosing a snapped structural suspension bracket, the dealership repeatedly instructed me (3 to 4 times) to drive the vehicle back home with my young child inside. They only agreed to hold the vehicle after I firmly refused to drive such a hazardous car. Safety Concern: A structural suspension bracket snapping under normal road use at only 30,000 miles represents a severe manufacturing defect and safety risk that could lead to loss of vehicle control. Furthermore, the dealership's refusal to hold the vehicle initially demonstrates extreme disregard for child and road safety.

On 01/30/26, I delivered my vehicle to an authorized Jeep dealership for the third time in connection with Safety Recall 68C involving the hybrid battery system. The recall addresses a battery defect that carries risk of fire. This is the third occasion on which I have had to leave my vehicle with the dealership because the recall repair has not been successfully completed. During the most recent service appointment, the recall repair procedure failed. I was informed that the hybrid battery would require full replacement and that the vehicle could not be returned to me. The vehicle has remained at the dealership and out of service since that date. As of 02/16/26, I have not been provided with a confirmed estimated time of arrival for the replacement battery. The vehicle remains unusable pending completion of the recall repair. No loaner vehicle was provided when the vehicle was rendered inoperable due to the failed recall repair. I was therefore required to obtain a rental vehicle at my own expense in order to maintain transportation for work and daily obligations. On January 30, I received written authorization from Jeep Customer Care approving rental reimbursement at $60 per day and explicitly listing specific companies as acceptable providers. Based on that written authorization, I secured a rental vehicle within the approved rate. After incurring rental expenses, I was informed reimbursement would be limited to $25 per day due to the rental company I chose being categorized as a third-party provider, despite being specifically listed in the written approval. It is not feasible to obtain a comparable rental vehicle in my area at $25 per day. The reimbursement discrepancy remains unresolved. The vehicle remains out of service. I am continuing to incur rental expenses and will be responsible for paying the difference out of pocket despite having relied on written authorization.

The hybrid battery had the potential to catch fire and it was recalled for a software update, the 95b update. After this software update was completed, the vehicle would completely shut down, regardless of being parked or while driving. The dealership deemed the vehicle "unsafe to drive" and has provided a loaner until they can correct the problem. In addition to this, the front suspension has been worked on many times, approximately 5-6 times to remedy a clinking noise when turning at full turn. Currently, they have not been able to remedy this problem. The manufacturer has refused to do a buy back on the vehicle, yet also refuses to give the vehicle back due to, in their words; "It is unsafe to drive".

I bought this Jeep new in 2023 and it started making this noise when it had 7000 miles on it. If was normal operational noise, why didn't it have it when it was new? Many owners on Jeep forums (JeepGarage, WLJeepForum, JeepForum, WranglerForum) report: Rattle starts light and worsens with heat soak. The company often states it is a “normal operational noise. ”Some report replacement of the entire sway bar disconnect actuator assembly under warranty resolving the noise temporarily or permanently but there is no standardized procedure. After an hour drive, the loud banging noise is huge distraction while driving. I have driven for many years and have never heard anything such as this rattle trap, especially for upward of $80,000, while fearing that it may leave the road at anytime.
