2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee: backup camera failure

Filed Sep 28, 2026 · Electrical, Transmission · UT

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.

I have had multiple issues with glitches in the electrical system. Specifically relating to the screen. It will shut off on its own, it will switch screens on its own and more recently, completely off. I was unable to get the black screen to turn on for quite a while, I turned the vehicle off multiple times, I also tried a hard reset multiple times for it finally decided to work. At times, the backup camera does not pop onto the screen. My issues are very similar to the recall, jeeps with electrical issues, but mine has not been recalled.

FCA pushed an involuntary software update to our car on August 6, 2024. It completed about 75% of the update and froze, rendering our display and systems unusable. Our back-up camera only works intermittently as does many of the ADAs safety features. We have no temperature controls or radio either. We have been to the dealer multiple times and they are being told by FCA that the entire unit needs to be replaced. A search of social media (reddit) shows that others may be having the same safety issue. The dealer says they have had four more incidents come into their shop.
