2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee engine problems

Filed Nov 5, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · ME

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Trailhawk has experienced repeated hybrid-system-related problems, including recurring check-engine warnings and multiple dealership repair visits. Most concerning, the vehicle previously shut down while being driven. The vehicle lost power while in operation, creating a serious safety concern. The dealership was made aware of this incident and performed repairs related to the shutdown. Since then, the vehicle has continued to experience hybrid-related problems and has required multiple additional repair visits. It is now back at the dealership in a no-drive condition due to another hybrid-system-related issue. A replacement part is required, but there is currently no estimated date for the part's arrival or when the vehicle will be repaired and returned to service. The vehicle has also been subject to multiple safety recalls, including recalls involving the high-voltage battery system. The repeated hybrid-system failures, previous shutdown while driving, and current inability to operate the vehicle raise significant concerns about the vehicle's safety, reliability, and continued operation. I am requesting that these issues be documented and reviewed for potential safety defects, particularly the loss of power while driving and the recurring hybrid-system failures.

Ever since 68c recall the vehicle no longer operates as it did. There is not enough power in emergency situations and definitely not safe. Also there is a known issue with the sway bar that rattles and sounds like I am dragging something under the vehicle. This was replaced once but same problem returned again after a few months.

While driving in active traffic at approximately 6 PM, our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe experienced a catastrophic, sudden loss of propulsion/driving power with no prior warning. The vehicle would not switch to gas, completely died, and refused to restart even in e-Save mode. A dashboard warning appeared: 'plug in vehicle for battery conditioning.' We were stranded in an active lane of travel and nearly rear-ended before securing police assistance (911 call) and a AAA tow. This directly mirrors known safety risks regarding sudden loss of power (Recall 78C / the federal safety agency 25V766) and high-voltage battery failure.

I am writing to formally request a review of an unresolved safety recall on my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I recently received a notice regarding safety recall 89D/the federal safety agency 26V‑562, which indicates a serious rear coil spring hazard. Currently, replacement parts are unavailable, still being developed and no remedy has been provided. Because this defect poses a severe safety concern, I cannot safely drive the vehicle. Being left without safe transportation-through no fault of my own-creates an extreme hardship. Under federal standards and manufacturer responsibility, owners should not be stranded or forced to drive unsafe vehicles waiting indefinitely for backordered parts that have been unsuccessfully developed two times already. I am requesting that Jeep corporate authorize a free loaner vehicle or full vehicle buy back at my local dealership; [XXX]. Please contact me promptly at [XXX] with a case reference number and details on how my alternate transportation will be covered.

CRITICAL VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT - CHRONIC MULTI-SYSTEM DEFECTS The vehicle is a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe operating under severe chronic safety non-compliance. The vehicle has an active, un-remedied engine block casting sand contamination fire/loss of propulsion and crash risk (FCA 78C / the federal safety agency 25V‑766) listing 'Parts Unavailable.' It also carries an open side-curtain airbag deployment failure recall (the federal safety agency 26V‑328). Furthermore, the vehicle experiences intermittent climate control and HVAC failures where the heating, air conditioning, and windshield defroster loops completely disable while in motion on the highway. This directly mirrors the safety vulnerabilities detailed in federal recall 24V‑111 (FCA 04B), where faulty hybrid control processor software leaves the front windshield defogger inoperable. When this occurs, the windshield instantly fogs over at high speeds, resulting in an unrecoverable, immediate loss of forward visibility. In addition, temperatures in the summer are between 100 and 120 degrees. Having no air conditioning during this time is a health and safety concern. Dealership technicians state they 'cannot replicate' the issue, forcing me to operate a vehicle that routinely violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 571.103. Operating this highly volatile hybrid asset on a regular 4.5-hour remote highway commute to act as a caregiver for an elderly parent presents a life-threatening environment. The vehicle is a severe liability threat due to active fire and crash risk, structural airbag failure, and sudden visibility blinding.

Since Nov 2025 there has been a recall with still no remedy for repair.

High Voltage Battery (hybrid battery) has excessive drain when parked. This was noticed after completing the 68C recall. In any temperature it drains 8-12% over 12 hours. I noticed it happening when it was 65-75 degrees, so not hot and not cold. I brought it in for a repair once, it spent 3 weeks at the dealership and was claimed fixed but it's still doing it. It is known problem on the forums as well after the 68C recall. No warning lights.
