While driving down the road on the highway, the hood randomly popped open, engaging the emergency breaking system extremely harshly. Then the vehicle was unable to shift back into gear. Reported problem to dealer and no codes shown for the incident. Jeep (FCA/Stelantis) potentially had the system like Volkswagen when it knows it took it up to the diagnostic system to not show codes were an injury or something serious could’ve happened. Warning indicator lights, and all kinds of indicators were going off in the vehicle at the time of incident, but not the very next day from the dealership plugged it into the system.
2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee electrical complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 118, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2024 grand jeep Cherokee 4xe was purchased brand new in 2025. Since then it was been in the shop on numerous occasions. Recalls with no remedies. The car lost power on the interstate with my child in the car. This is going to cause death or serious injury. This car needs to be purchased back by Jeep. I am paying on a loan for an undriveable car at no fault of my own. I was told by the car salesman that this vehicle was in great condition. They knew the issues when selling me the car late last year.
When on a hill with the electric being depleted under 8% the vehicles don’t know what to do for power an rolled back with no power forward even when attempting to accelerate causing potential collision with vehicle on the rear. Vehicle manufacturer refuses to service vehicle due to ongoing litigation and known problem.
• Component/System: The high-voltage battery system in the plug-in hybrid propulsion system is subject to an active safety recall related to potential fire risk. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. • Safety Risk: The manufacturer has instructed owners not to charge the vehicle near structures and to park it away from buildings due to the risk of battery fire. This creates an ongoing safety concern because normal charging and garaging cannot be performed safely, altering how and where the vehicle can be operated and stored. After speaking with my homeowners insurance, if the home were to catch fire through this vehicle, the claim would be denied because there is an active recall stating not to charge the vehicle. • Reproduction/Confirmation: The condition has been confirmed by the manufacturer through the official recall notice. The dealer has not attempted a repair because no remedy is currently available. Despite visiting the dealer, the dealer still states not to charge the car in the house. • Inspections by Others: The vehicle has not required inspection by police or insurance representatives. The issue is acknowledged by the manufacturer as part of the recall, and no repair procedure has been released to dealers. • Warning Lamps/Symptoms: There were no specific warning lamps prior to receiving the recall notice. The issue was identified by the manufacturer and communicated through recall notification rather than a driver-observed failure. The recall notice is the first indication of the problem.
This complaint is being filed as an update to prior the federal safety agency complaints regarding the same vehicle and Recall 78C. The issues described below remain unresolved. My vehicle is subject to Recall 78C, which warns of a defect that may result in catastrophic engine failure due to an engine block casting issue. The recall was issued approximately 90 days ago, and the status remains listed as “remedy under development,” with no repair available and no timeline provided. Since the recall was issued, I have contacted Stellantis three separate times in writing requesting: confirmation whether the vehicle is considered safe to operate while the recall remains open, and transportation accommodation while no remedy exists. None of these emails have received a response. I also contacted two authorized Jeep dealerships seeking transportation assistance. Both initially stated they do not provide loaner vehicles and are not required to follow corporate directives. Both later stated loaner vehicles do exist but were unavailable and subject to a waitlist; however, neither dealership took my information or placed me on a waitlist, nor provided any follow-up. No meaningful transportation accommodation has been provided. I have been advised only that rental reimbursement may be available, which does not prevent continued operation of the vehicle. As a result, I am being forced to continue driving a vehicle under an active safety recall that explicitly warns of possible catastrophic engine failure, without a remedy, without a timeline, and without alternative transportation. This complaint is submitted to document the prolonged lack of a remedy, manufacturer non-response to repeated safety inquiries, failure to provide interim accommodation, and continued requirement that I operate the recalled vehicle.
Component Failure: This vehicle has suffered a recurring "Loss of Motive Power" (LMP) while in motion. On [XXX], for the third time, the internal combustion engine shut off completely while the vehicle was being driven in traffic. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: This incident occurred on a public road in New York during a severe winter storm with over a foot of snow on the ground. There were two children in the vehicle. The sudden loss of propulsion in heavy traffic and hazardous weather conditions created an immediate risk of a rear-end collision and left my family stranded without power or heat in freezing temperatures. Confirmation & Inspection: This is a documented, repeat failure. The manufacturer has confirmed the defect previously and even reimbursed me for a prior repair attempt. However, the issue remains unresolved. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Jeep dealer during previous failures, but the "remedy" provided was ineffective. I am currently awaiting a new inspection for this third occurrence. Symptoms & Warnings: Prior to the total engine shutdown, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated on the dashboard. In previous instances, the manufacturer cited software errors or internal contamination as the cause. I suspect this is related to existing the federal safety agency Recall 25V‑766 (Engine Sand Contamination) or Recall 25V‑710 (Hybrid Control Software Failure). Additional Context: Despite the life-threatening nature of this repeat defect, the local dealership refused to provide a loaner vehicle, and the manufacturer (Jeep Wave) is refusing to fully cover the cost of a rental vehicle. I am currently paying out-of-pocket interest on delayed reimbursements from the manufacturer. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is subject to two active safety recalls that have rendered it unusable for over one month. RECALL 1 - BATTERY DEFECT: Vehicle subject to recall for high-voltage battery issues. Stellantis installed software to throttle charging but has NOT replaced the defective battery components. This is a temporary workaround, not an actual repair. The manufacturing defect remains in the vehicle. RECALL 2 - ENGINE SAND CONTAMINATION (Recall 78C/25V766): Vehicle may have engine contaminated with sand from casting process. Stellantis's recall warns of catastrophic engine failure, vehicle fires, and unexpected loss of propulsion. When I contacted Stellantis, I was told there are NO parts available and NO timeline for repair. IMPACT: Due to fire risk and catastrophic failure potential, vehicle has been sitting unused for over one month. I cannot safely drive it. MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Stellantis refuses buyback despite having no ability to repair these manufacturing defects. Software throttling is not a repair. No parts exist for engine fix. These are manufacturing defects Stellantis admits through recalls, yet they leave consumers with $80,000 vehicles that are unsafe to drive and cannot be repaired.
My Jeep does not charge when plugged in. I've had it at the dealership 6 times in the past 2 years and they are unable to fix this. There is a current recall. I am advised to not charge the vehicle, don't park near structures, don't park near other cars. I have no street parking in the village of Fairport during winter. I'm a teacher at an elementary school and there's no where to park away from other cars. I took my Jeep to the dealership after Stellantis approved rental reimbursement until a fix for the recall was developed. Rental reimbursement approval is in 30 day increments. I submitted my receipt to Stellantis for reimbursement as instructed. It's been over a month and I have no reimbursement check. I'm am not out over $2000. waiting for my preapproved rental reimbursement. I turned my rental in and picked up my jeep from the dealership for fear of never being reimbursed for the rental. I am now driving an unsafe vehicle that is being parked next to my home and near cars and busses at school wear I teach. I have email records of all communication with Stellantis/Jeep US customer Care.
2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, Vehicle bought new in July 2025! 3 incidents of loss of propulsion occurred while city driving from August to October in 2025. Recall 73C performed on Oct 22, 2025! On 11/18/25 requested vehicle inspection from Mcinerney auto center (Troy) per advise from Mcinerney Dealership (Alpena). While test driving had a sever transmission failure which vehicle had to be towed back to auto center. Vehicle remained on lot for 7 days with no repair! Towed (AAA) to Jim Riehl’s Friendly (Romeo) and determined sever leak from transmission. Fixed with no apparent issue with trans. Vehicle driven in hybrid mode without battery charged from Dec 4,2025 until Jan 19, 2026!!! Recall 68C performed on Jan 20,2026. Now we have recall 78C (Nov 2025) with no fix insight!!! This recall is sand in the engine from casting process! This can be a long term problem along with the hybrid battery fire possibility with the previous recalls!!! So, this vehicle is not reliable short term and for sure long term! These recalls are major recalls for a new vehicle. We want a new vehicle or our money back ASAP!!! We want the Vehicle Manufacturer to call us ASAP!!!
While driving in the Los Angelas area on March 24, 2025, on the 210 Freeway approaching the 605 Freeway the vehicle abruptly decelerated from 65mph to 45mph. A message appeared instructing "continue to your destination, do not turn off your engine, if you turn off your engine you may not be able to start it again." We contacted Jeep Connected who directed us to Cerritos CDJR. As we were heading south on the 605 Freeway the vehicle again abruptly decelerated to 28mph. This placed us in a dangerous safety situation as we were at the height of the afternoon traffic. The Service Advisor was able to determine that the Valve Body(VB) and Transmission Control Module(TCM) had failed. Also, both batteries were fully drained of their charge. The mileage was 4095. The comment was that the batteries contributed to the VB/TCM failure. We have continued to experience battery degradation with five (5) batteries having been replaced within the first year of ownership. We continue to identify battery degradation to the dealership but have received no correction to this defect. Over the past four (4) months we have documented "resting" battery voltage at a level where they are at or below 50% of their expected lifetime. While it is suggested that parasitic drain is the cause, we continually ensure that lights, radio, heating and air-conditioning and Jeep Connected are turned off when parked. I have documented to the Utah Division of Consumer Protection and NCDS these conditions. The ruling from NCDS is: DENIED. "I have reached this conclusion for the following reason: the customer did prove by shop work orders a Manufacturer defect does exist with the batteries discharging, which has affected the use and safety of the vehicle. However, there has only been three repair attempts with replacing batteries which is not considered unreasonable in my opinion." With the recognition by an Arbitrator that a manufacture defect exists which affects safety, it cannot be limited to my vehicle.
I have this 2024 Grand Cherokee 4xe on lease and it has had multiple safety recalls since I have acquired this vehicle. The latest recall has no fix and can result in an engine fire. Not only do I not feel safe in this vehicle; I am unable to charge the battery b/c this can cause a fire. This negates the purpose of having this vehicle and paying a premium for it. the federal safety agency campaign number: 25V741. Jeep’s current recall number is 68C. Prior recall numbers were 24V720 and 23V787. I am requesting an early termination of this lease w/o penalty. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and contacted Stellantis directly and they refuse to take back the car due to a recall.
My 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xE has been at the dealership service center since [Date] due to the recall identified as the federal safety agency Campaign 25V766000. The component involved is the engine, which is still installed in the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. The recall notice states that debris inside the engine may cause engine failure, resulting in loss of drive power or an engine compartment fire. Safety Risk: This issue puts my safety and the safety of others at risk because the vehicle could lose power while driving or catch fire unexpectedly. Confirmation of Problem: The problem has been confirmed by the dealership, and they advised that the remedy is still under development. Inspection: The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer’s authorized service center, but no repairs have been performed because there is no available solution. Warning Signs: There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the recall notice. I proactively brought the vehicle in after learning about the recall. Current Situation: I have been without my primary vehicle for an extended period and am currently in a rental provided by Jeep. However, I have received no timeline for a fix, nor any indication if Jeep will replace or buy back the vehicle. This indefinite delay is unacceptable given the severity of the safety risk.
Electrical failure. Received the car about 5 months after liquids from the car were leaking on top of the battery, causing corrosion on the battery. Most recently check engine light went on and car began to overheat on its own. Hot air did not work and only cold air would come on. Car continued to say temperature too hot and began to smell like smoke.

The contact then received a second notification for the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V741000 (Electrical System). The contact stated that the Hybrid battery failed to charge as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the part was not yet available. The contact also stated that the vehicle was unable to start at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue, and a case was opened. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.
I am reporting unresolved safety issues involving multiple open recalls on my Jeep vehicle, including a high-voltage battery recall and an engine recall with no available remedy. Jeep has advised owners not to recharge the vehicle and to park away from structures or other vehicles due to fire risk, yet also states that owners may continue driving the vehicle. However, the vehicle automatically regenerates battery charge during normal driving even when regenerative braking is turned off. This behavior was not explained in the recall notice and creates confusion about how to safely operate the vehicle while complying with the “do not recharge” guidance. I am also experiencing intermittent Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) warning alerts, which raises additional safety concerns while driving under recall conditions. Another open recall related to the engine currently has no available remedy and has been unresolved for an extended period of time. Despite the safety nature of these recalls, Jeep has declined to provide a loaner vehicle. Jeep Customer Care states loaners are at dealership discretion, while dealerships state they have not received authorization from Jeep. Jeep has instead directed me to an out-of-pocket rental reimbursement program that requires the customer to front rental costs for an unknown duration, which is not financially feasible. I am concerned about being instructed to continue operating a vehicle with known safety risks, conflicting guidance, warning alerts, and no reasonable accommodation while remedies remain unavailable.
Transmission sticks and does not change gears which causes motor to run with extreme high RPMs. Must pull over on side of the road to stop and reset transmission. There have been multiple electronic issues resulting in numerous diagnostics. Also malfunctioning cameras sensors. The local Jeep dealer said there are known problems, but no repair options at this time.
Battery system still malfunctions after both 73C and 68C were performed by dealer. After these "updates to software" my battery discharges to unusable levels. This occurs after a full charge and the vehicle sets for three to four days locked and parked. I have not had the use of my hybrid system now for over three months. I'm having to drive using engine only and getting only 22 miles to the gallon, well under the advertised on the window sticker mileage. Keeping in mind that the engine is also under recall, with sand in the engine, with NO remedy in sight until second quarter of next year. Vehicle is totally unsafe to drive and my local dealer is trying to find a solution, however, stellantis has nothing in the works to fix the problems. I'm [XXX] and a failing vehicle could lead to my injury or death. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

To Whom It May Concern, My name is [XXX] . I am a Florida resident and the lessee of a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, VIN [XXX] . Due to repeated and serious mechanical and electrical failures involving the hybrid system, I have already retained legal representation. My Lemon Law case is currently being handled by: CPLG – Consumer Protection Law Group Despite this, the situation continues to worsen and the process has become unreasonably prolonged. Major components, including the hybrid battery, have already been replaced. Nevertheless, the vehicle continues to experience recurring failures. Importantly, the vehicle previously remained at a Florida dealership for approximately eight (8) months for repairs, and the issues still were not permanently resolved. At this time, the vehicle is once again in service at a dealership in Hendersonville, North Carolina. I have now been waiting for the third consecutive week with no clear timeline for parts availability or when the vehicle will be returned to me. As a result, I am forced to rely on rental vehicles on an ongoing basis, which requires changing vehicles every Friday. This is extremely inconvenient and disruptive for me and my family. With the holiday season approaching, the uncertainty regarding when (or if) my vehicle will be repaired and returned has significantly increased my stress and anxiety. This situation has gone far beyond normal inconvenience. It is now causing ongoing emotional distress and has negatively affected my mental well-being and daily functioning. Although a Lemon Law case is already in progress through CPLG, the continued delays leave me no choice but to submit parallel consumer complaints in order to seek expedited review and resolution. I am formally requesting immediate review and intervention under Florida Consumer Protection statutes and applicable Florida Lemon Law provisions.

On 2 ocassions the vehicle failed to execute a stop. The first was going down a mild hill at 20 mpg; I applied the brakes and the car started to slow and then the brakes felt like there was a shudder and released, and then engaged again and the car finally did stop. That same day on flat ground the same thing repeated. A second brake problem has occurred multiple times; likely 50 - 60 times. When braking and the car downshifts, the vehicle surges forward before slowing again, esp from 4th down to 3rd, of 3rd down to 2nd gear and 2nd to 1st. I have taken this to Reed Jeep in my hometown of Kansas City and not problem was identified. The car has been driven by others who also felt the same. These issues can put others at risk because they have occured when others are driving and they could injure a pedstrian or cause an MVA when the car does not stop. I have ceased driving the vehicle because of this and the battery fire concern and the engine failure from sand concern.

The contact stated that the battery warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that recently she had experienced a problem with starting the vehicle and needed numerous attempts to start up. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V741000 (Electrical System). The contact called the local dealer and the manufacturer to have the vehicle repaired. The contact was advised by the dealer and the manufacturer that the remedy was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.
Received an alert that the hybrid system had failed. We have not used the vehicle since all of the recalls have been received as we are too afraid for our safety and the safety of others on the road. The Jeep Dealer confirmed there is no solution or fix to any of the recalls and referred us to the leasing company. I requested to be let out of my lease since there was not a resolution, and I am too afraid to drive the vehicle or put my child in it and they denied my request. I have only had the car a few months and it is not fair that I have to pay for something that is a possible danger that I cannot drive because there is no remedy.

The vehicle is not charging to full capacity. I brought it to the dealership, and they informed me there is no available solution. This issue is extremely concerning, as the car poses a fire risk even when turned off. Very concerning: The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is affected by multiple active safety recalls, primarily related to the plug-in hybrid system. The most significant one involving fire risk (the federal safety agency recall 24V‑720 / Chrysler recall 95B) covers 2022–2024 Grand Cherokee 4xe models (among others). This stems from potential internal failure in the high-voltage battery pack, which can lead to fires even when parked or driving.
I am writing to report an urgent safety concern regarding my 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hybrid, VIN [Insert VIN], which is subject to recall number [Insert Recall Number]. I have contacted Chrysler/Jeep about this recall, but they have informed me that there is currently no remedy available. They have offered no assistance, and I have not been provided any solution to ensure my safety. I am extremely concerned about continuing to operate this vehicle, as it is not safe to drive in its current condition. I am genuinely scared for my safety and the safety of others while using the vehicle. I am requesting guidance from the federal safety agency on what actions I can take as an owner when a manufacturer is unable to provide a remedy for a safety-related defect. Specifically, I am seeking advice on interim safety measures or any required actions Chrysler/Jeep must take to protect consumers while the recall remedy is unavailable. I would like this report documented so the agency is aware of the immediate risk to consumers posed by delays in remedy availability. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
This is a follow-up to my previous complaint. My 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to show safety-related system failures that have not been addressed by the dealership or Stellantis. The main new issue is a malfunction in the regenerative charging system. I have this feature turned OFF, yet the vehicle continues to engage regenerative charging while driving. This indicates a failure in the system’s control logic. I am also experiencing intermittent AEB system warnings. The AEB warning light activates randomly during normal driving with no obstacles present, creating uncertainty about whether the system will operate properly when needed. I reported these new issues to the dealership, but they stated they cannot schedule service until after Christmas and cannot provide a loaner vehicle. Stellantis has also not offered a solution. I am forced to continue driving a vehicle with malfunctioning safety and braking-related systems. This is an unresolved and escalating safety defect that requires investigation and immediate manufacturer action.
