2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee: broken coil spring

Filed Oct 26, 2026 · PA

There has been repetitive recalls on the rear coil spring for my vehicle. There is another open recall on it AGAIN with no remedy as of now. My vehicle is making the same noise it was before when this happened and was to “supposedly be fixed under the recall.” I’ve contacted Jeep corporate and they were no help at all. All they wanted to do was write me a check for two of my car payments. This is unbelievable to have to be driving a car with this same recurring issue! The recall states that the vehicle could crash without prior notice/ warning!! I need some assistance in this case - recall number NHSTA 26V‑562 is the current one and the prior ones was 26V‑051 and 23V‑413 and 23V‑352.

On [XXX], while traveling southbound on [XXX] south of Santee, South Carolina, my vehicle lost its passenger-side rear coil spring. I was towing a trailer and initially attributed the vehicle's low rear stance to the trailer’s weight. After arriving in Bluffton and returning the trailer, the rear remained low. I looked underneath the vehicle and discovered the missing spring. On [XXX], AutoNation CDJR Hilton Head confirmed the missing spring and refused to let me drive the vehicle, warning that doing so put me in grave danger. The repair cost exceeded $1,300. A detached rear coil spring presents an evident safety hazard: it can compromise the vehicle's handling and control, and the spring itself can become a dangerous roadway obstacle or projectile, threatening other motorists. I subsequently received a recall notice addressing this issue—the third rear coil spring recall since production of this model year began. Jeep has refused reimbursement because the incident occurred before the recall. Jeep has also refused to acknowledge that the driver-side rear coil spring still requires inspection and any necessary repair under the recall.

I received a letter that there was a recall on my vehicle. The letter also stated there was no remedy and that all cars may not be effected. I took my car to the dealership and had it checked out and learned one of the rear coil springs is indeed bowed out and not particularly safe to drive.

While driving my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited at approximately 25 mph in October 2025, the right rear coil spring unexpectedly ejected from the vehicle. I immediately felt the vehicle drop and become unstable. Although I was able to maintain my lane, I believe the relatively low speed was an important factor in my ability to maintain control. I subsequently retrieved the detached coil spring from the roadway and photographed the components and affected suspension. This failure occurred despite the vehicle having previously completed FCA safety recall 64A on July 17, 2023. An authorized Jeep dealership later confirmed that the right rear coil spring and isolators were missing and replaced the components under my extended service contract. I was required to pay a $250 deductible. I am concerned that the vehicle experienced the precise safety hazard the original recall was intended to prevent. Had this occurred at highway speeds, the potential consequences could have been substantially more severe.

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.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While the contact's husband was driving approximately 72 MPH with the contact seated in the front passenger’s seat and two children in the rear seats, the occupants heard a loud bang coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle immediately became uncontrollable and the rear-end shifted. A trailing vehicle swerved into the median to avoid a crash. Upon pulling over to the side of the road and inspecting the vehicle, the contact's husband noticed that the rear passenger-side coil spring had detached and was ejected from the vehicle. The driver drove the leaning vehicle to the dealer via a side road; however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to the dealer for a recall repair under the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 26V051000 (Suspension), but the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle passed inspection and no repairs were needed. The contact stated that the failure occurred while on vacation, which required the contact to obtain a rental vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and denied vehicle rental assistance. The contact stated that both the dealer and the manufacturer failed to return phone calls. The failure mileage was approximately 61,600.

While pulling into my driveway on XXX, the rear coil spring on my vehicle completely suffered a structural failure/separation.

I had taken the Jeep in to have the rear coil fixed under the recall notice a couple of years ago. While driving out of state during the evening of XXX, the car made a large thud noise and the passenger rear side of the car dropped. We stepped out of the vehicle and the passenger rear coil spring was lying in the road. The car had not been in any accidents or had any damage. The spring simply dislodged and fell to the ground while we were driving. We had the Jeep towed to Jeff Wyler dealership in Columbus and provided them the spring that had fallen off. The dealership's number is [XXX]. We had to rent a car to return to Grand Rapids Michigan and still need to find a way to bring the Jeep home when the repaid is made.

Rear right coil spring violently detached and flew across my garage. Fortunately we were not driving it on the Florida Turnpike at the time and none of my family was in the garage when it explosively ejected. We took it to the dealership, Napleton’s Jeep, on February 23, 2026 for its annual service and explicitly directed them to repair or correct any recalls. They said they could not perform the coil spring repair because “Parts Not Available” but assured us it had been inspected and was determined to not be defective or a risk. This is VERY disturbing because it could have killed us if we had been driving at the time and could have seriously injured or killed someone if it had exploded free when people were nearby (ex: in the garage, grocery store parking lot, club parking lot, etc.). There are no warning lamps to even advise that something has occurred - other than finding the enormous spring that put a giant dent in my garage door. I have multiple major work matters, an 8 figure mediation and two court hearings, which require me to drive to Fort Lauderdale this week so I had to spend $50 on an Uber to get a rental car last night and $210 on the rental car.

The jeep was parked in our garage. When returning to the garage the right rear coil spring was laying on the garage floor. The jeep is stock. There was no accident or pothole event. The spring or mount broke or failed unexpectedly while the jeep was parked in our garage.

It sounds like the body of my car is detaching from the frame. Like my coil springs are loose or coming out.
