A list of messages also came up on the display, that other functions of the vehicle where either disabled and/or needed to be serviced. after the vehicle was parked it was no longer able to be moved due to the power steering being inoperable.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the defrost system became inoperable. The contact stated that the system functioned intermittently during warmer weather; however, in colder temperatures, the defroster failed to operate. The contact was concerned that the failure could affect visibility, creating a potential hazard while driving, and posing a risk to other drivers. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

Since I bought the vehicle in February 2025 I have reported the infotainment screen failure/ going black while driving. I immediately reported it to my salesman and had it assessed by my local dealership as well about it. They told me it was up to date and they could not find any codes and sent me on my way. Shortly after I realized the auto start/stop wouldn't engage and I also encountered a random subwoofer boom upon starting my vehicle at times. The electrical issue has been known by Jeep for some time as there was a technical service bulletin that circulated regarding these issues and there are numerous other issues that were reported as well on this bulletin. Bringing you to my recent experience was after bringing my jeep in twice after my purchase (when also under warranty) to address these electrical issues I was always told no codes, jeep is fine. It continued to be a problem but subwoofer got worse. Last week I tried to remote start my car and it just flashed rear lights and didn't start. It was completely dead. I was able to jump start it and got it to the dealership and they said it was the battery and replaced the battery. I had JUST had a new battery installed upon purchase in Feb 2025. Brought it home, same thing, it died. I noticed dash light going on and off and a chirping sound before it died again. Brought it back in. They say it was the door switch that's faulty. It's obviously an electrical issue and it will leave me stranded or others stranded. This is a safety hazard as it causes loss of display, loss of emergency calling, distraction, battery drain and unpredictable electrical behavior.

Malfunction of the Steering Column Control Module causing a disconnect with all associated components such as causing wipers to run continuously on max, and all listed functions stopped working including; SOS, Jeep Assist, blind spot, high & low beams, brake lights, turn signals, lane assist, horn, rear wiper, windshield washer fluid, airbag deployment, infotainment system, etc. Vehicle is currently at the Dealership in Delmont, PA and is available for inspection. This is a significant safety concern to myself and other drivers due a visibility issue with wipers on a continuous cycle, headlights and brake lights not functioning as intended, unable to use turn signals, airbags will not deployment in the event of an accident, among other safety related issues. The vehicle has been inspected for this specific issue at the Dealership December 21, 2023 and November 11-17, 2025, and was temporarily resolved with a software update. 24 hours later, on 11/18, the same issue reoccurred and is back at the Dealership with no update on a permanent solution. There are no warnings or symptoms prior to the failure of the SCCM. This issue first occurred 12/21/2023 with only 3,439 miles one it. The vehicle currently has 32,091 miles. Pictures and videos are available upon request.

Bought vehicle and reviewing safety features the next day I realized the Forward Collision Warning light was on because it was malfunctioning and not just turned off. Same with the AEB light. Then Active Lane Management came on as did ACC. This is a concern since they are all safety features. Took it to dealership and they unhooked battery to try and make the windshield spray work. After that all safety warning lights came on. Dealer has had it for 2 weeks and still cant figure issue. Looking online it apprears this is a major safety that happens to a lot of these vehicles.

Every time the vehicle starts, the driver dash display and radio display reset to a language I do not speak or understand (Italian). The paddle shifter is inoperative (with no option to enable), pedestrian emergency brake (peb) lamp or forward collision warning (fcw) lamp turns on with no way to disable, units of measurement changes to celsius, and numerous other settings reset as well. This is a dangerous situation. I don't understand the meaning of warning messages on the driver display because they are in Italian. It is difficult change the settings because the menus are in Italian. Plus, even if I change them, they all reset the next time the vehicle is started. I have taken it to the dealer numerous times. The dealer says there is nothing they can do and it can only be corrected with a software update that is not yet available.
