2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE

I own a 2023 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe, and after 4 months and roughly 5000 miles, a bolt in the rear suspension broke, causing significant damage to other parts. On the highway this was very disconcerting and there was a huge amount of lateral shifting over any bump. Definitely not safe. Thankfully, the first incident was covered under warranty, despite the repair team being clueless about the cause. Now, at the end of November with 9000 miles on the clock, history repeats itself. This time, Jeep acknowledges that the bolt in the rear tension link is a known issue with the Grand Cherokee 4xe, but they're stumped about why it keeps happening. No recall has been issued. Trying to get any information about whether the bolt has been upgraded in strength is like hitting a wall - neither the dealer nor Jeep corporate have answers. My case manager is either unable or unwilling to help, and I'm stuck in a loop between the dealer and corporate, with no one able to provide clear information.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that there was a fuel odor coming into the cabin of the vehicle while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate uphill, the accelerator pedal had to be depressed to the floor for the vehicle to respond as needed. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle drove as if the brake pedal was being depressed. The contact stated that the fuel odor was evident only while the vehicle was in the E-Save Mode. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 600.

The vehicle was newly acquired and was set to run on Electric mode. I was driving on the Highway at highway speed and suddenly without any warning, it lost all power due the what is called "FORM" making the electric engine unavailable. There was a semi truck right behind me which almost hit me since by losing my electric engine I dropped my speed suddenly. I had to pull over and try to figure out what was going on and switch to Hybrid mode. The issue is that #1 this comes without any warning at any moment, making your electric engine absolutely useless and then why do we even have the option of an Electric only engine. #2 we have no control on delaying even for just a few miles this FORM mode to allow us to get to a gas station or to a safe location since the button to switch to Hybrid mode is not located in an easy access while keep your eyes on the Road. #3 I end up in that FORM mode almost every other week now . This FORM is not even something that is communicated by JEEP in their advertisement. You can't find the information about it unless you end up having the issue and look for it. I don't even reach the advertised MPG due to the FORM. I use gas every day regardless so I should not need to be in FORM mode every other week

Driving Screen, Swaybar Disconnect systems, Airbags, TPMS, Driving controls such as blinkers, and emergency flashers. The car was functioning normally, with no anomalies or error messages, including through phone notifications. The battery charge was nearly complete. I engaged Electric-Drive mode and used regenerative braking to recharge the battery on my way to town. Approximately 30 minutes into the drive, and with the battery at 99% charge, I heard a loud pop. It sounded like it was coming from the right-side passenger control arm. Shortly after, my dashboard was illuminated with warning lights, including a check engine light and notifications about air suspension and sway bar disconnection, airbags, tpms sensors, and more. The car decelerated dramatically; The dashboard screen flickered on and off as if rebooting. I got the vehicle safely, but during that time, the car seemed to be in limp mode, unresponsive to acceleration, and stiffer than normal breaking. The steering was also affected. I realized that if I had been on the highway, this could have caused a severe accident. Screen, Powertrain, and drivetrain fail while traveling 45+ miles an hour. It is a small 2-way road in turn with mild car and foot traffic around. The dealer has confirmed the issue as an issue that has been present in past vehicles in this model category. The car had been in my possession for less than 24 hours/40 driven miles.

The engine shuts down while driving. There was a recall on 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, there’s a current recall on 2023 Jeep Wrangler xe, and now my Jeep Grand Cherokee xe is experiencing the same malfunction. This is extremely dangerous since the vehicle loses power and comes to a stop while in the middle of driving. I came very close to being rear ended on 2 occasions. I had a service appointment with the Jeep dealership today and they confirmed that they were able to reproduce this today, so thankfully my vehicle will get fixed. No warnings appear on the vehicle’s display when this occurs. You have no warning and the vehicle simply stops. When this happens, I’ve been able to turn my car off and then back on again and it starts running again. This is an extremely dangerous flaw. I feel that it’s Jeeps responsibility to keep their customers safe by inspecting all similar vehicles to ensure that they are not selling a death trap to an unsuspecting customer. My vehicle is only 2 months old. In addition to this issue, I have had my air conditioner not cool when turned on, the navigation system refreshes over and over, the auto interior lights on the car brighten rather than dim when it’s dark, and the vehicle is already shifting rough. I have read that Jeeps are notorious for transmission issues. Unfortunately, I learned these thing after purchasing the $60,000 vehicle. I urge everyone who reads this to please research your vehicles (past and present models) to ensure you are making a safe decision prior to making a purchase. What I have read on Jeeps is truly eye opening. I would have never purchased this vehicle or any other Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, or Fiat vehicles had I known prior. These are all made by Chrysler and all have similar issues. I really hope this message brings light to this widespread issue in the attempt to save lives.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH, the “4-WD mode Disabled”, and that the Automatic Emergency Braking activated messages were displayed. The vehicle then independently turned off. The contact stated that there were no other vehicles in front of the vehicle at the time of the failure. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact stated that upon restarting the vehicle, the messages were no longer displayed. The contact continued driving; however, the vehicle failed to shift smoothly into the intended gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where diagnostic codes related to the transmission valve body were retrieved. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 1,100.

When driving my vehicle, the engine seems to be stalling as a switching from one gear to the other jolts. The engine is slow in responding to speeding up. I feel unsafe specially when attempting to go on the freeway because the car seems to momentarily stop and between switching gears. I called the dealership where I purchased the car and they said that there is no recall for a similar experience of the problem. I called and they said that they would not be able to look at it for a few weeks, and that I was not able to book an appointment and that I would need to drop it off and it would take them approximately about three weeks to look at it and I was not able to get a loaner vehicle from them during that time.
