I am reporting repeated, sudden losses of motive power at highway speeds in my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (PHEV). The vehicle's propulsion, electrical, and engine systems completely shut down without warning, causing the car to randomly stop while cruising at 60 mph on the highway, creating an immediate and severe crash risk. Despite the authorized dealership (David Auto of Glen Mills, PA) claiming that all outstanding safety recalls regarding drive power loss were resolved, the defect has actually worsened. This critical failure has occurred on at least three separate occasions recently: Late September 2026: Initial sudden power loss while cruising at 60 mph on the highway. [XXX]: Second instance of sudden power failure at 60 mph on the highway. [XXX]: Third instance of complete power loss at 60 mph on the highway. The vehicle was carrying four occupants at the time, significantly compounding the severe safety hazard. The manufacturer and authorized dealerships have failed to permanently rectify this dangerous defect, and the authorized recall remedies, stated complete, clearly have not or did not fulfill the obligations of safety and what was notified and communicated to me by Stelantis FCA (JEEP). As you may know, the ongoing, unresolved hazard is currently the subject of an active breach of warranty lawsuits and actively litigated. The vehicle is unsafe to operate on on highways due to these unpredictable hybrid powertrain shutdowns randomly at highway speeds, capping mph at 60 even if you are going 70+, and flooring the car in a passing lane or attempting to avoid other cars. It needs further investigation, and is a known issue apart of the hybrid systems failure and subsequent recalls yet no resolutions. ADDITIONALLY NO warning lights came on when this occurred. Video and 1st and 2nd person witnesses were taken as this is the 3rd time its occurred. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle experienced a sudden loss of motive power at highway speeds without warning. The vehicle lost total propulsion at 60mph with zero dashboard error text or warning lights. Driver pressed fully on gas pedal to avoid activating the regenerative braking system. Driver pumped gas pedal but no response from vehicle. Vehicle began to lose speed while operating on an Interstate Freeway in the dark (between 6a - 7a). Driver began shifting into Neutral and back to Drive which only restored power for one second before cutting out again. There are no text errors or engine indicating warnings or alerts. Vehicle stalled and driver put on hazards and slowly made way to the shoulder and nearest exit ramp which was ~2 mile from event start to exit ramp. Event happened September 18, 2026. Another identical event on the same stretch of Interstate reoccurred on October 2, 2026 which prompted owner to take to the dealership for diagnostic.

Statement of Complaint: I am writing to file an official consumer protection complaint regarding a 2024 Jeep Cherokee 4xe that I recently leased. Throughout the duration of my lease possession, the vehicle suffered from persistent safety defects and unresolved manufacturer recalls that severely impacted its safety, reliability, and drivability. Despite multiple attempts to address these critical factory defects, the vehicle remained unreliable. On October 3, 2026, the vehicle was repossessed. I contend that the manufacturer and financing institution failed to provide a safe, merchantable vehicle as agreed upon in the lease contract, and that the financial loss and subsequent repossession stem directly from the vehicle’s manufacturing failures. Requested Resolution: I am requesting that the Attorney General's office investigate the consumer practices surrounding this lease. I am seeking a fair partial refund of the lease payments made while operating a known defective vehicle, as well as an equitable mediation of any outstanding post-repossession balance claims being made by the lender.

My vehicle is subject to three safety recalls: 78C / the federal safety agency 25V‑766 (Engine Fire Risk) 68C / the federal safety agency 25V‑741 (High Voltage Battery Defect) the federal safety agency 25V‑576 (Battery Pack Control Module microprocessor overload) Because of the fire risk, I was unable to park in my driveway for approximately two months, resulting in loss of use. During this same period, the vehicle could not be charged, eliminating the hybrid functionality and forcing me to rely solely on gasoline. After recall remedies were performed, the vehicle’s performance and safety degraded significantly: Electrical / Hybrid System Failures: Hybrid battery capacity reduced Vehicle no longer charges itself while driving Air conditioning output reduced Engine idles excessively high 12‑volt battery warning showing “<1%,” creating risk of no‑start and electrical instability Electronic doors fail to lock/unlock reliably Hatchback foot‑activation sensor works intermittently Radio has remained on after vehicle shutdown Windshield wipers do not respond to rain sensor, causing dangerous visibility delays Display / Camera Failures: Display screen randomly changes or freezes Screen turned completely off when shifting into reverse, eliminating the backup camera view Transmission / Drivability Issues: Loud, jerky downshifting Delay engaging when shifting into drive These issues are ongoing and affect multiple safety‑critical systems including propulsion, electrical stability, visibility, and rear‑view camera functionality. The vehicle does not meet the expected performance of the Overland Hybrid 4xe and is unreliable and unsafe to operate. I am requesting the federal safety agency review due to repeated electrical failures, hybrid system malfunction, loss of use, and safety‑critical defects following recall remedies.
