2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

On two occasions after sitting overnight, the vehicle dash did not light up and would not start. Roadside was called on one occasion and was not able to jump start the car after about 40 minutes of trying. Dash would light up, but engine would not turn over. Tow company came and drained two jump start batteries before it would start. It was taken to the dealership where they had it for a week and said it was a glitchy software update. A month later the same thing happened where it would not start after sitting overnight. Had to be hooked up to a Dodge Ram battery for 20 minutes before engine would finally turn over. However, the battery voltage sat at about 13/14 volts the entire time, so it doesn't seem to be a bad battery issue. Auto lights have been off as well as STOP/START in case something happens on the road. Could not get it into the dealership for inspection for a few weeks, so hoping they can reproduce and isolate the issue. It sounds like similar issues with other Grand Cherokee's have been left without solution. This definitely needs to be looked into.

The car randomly stopped while I was going 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. The car then would not allow me to move off of the high way or put the care in neutral. The car just stopped while merging on to the highway at 50 mph. It’s unsafe for myself and others The dealer has not been able to reproduce the issue but they see a code they’ve never seen before. The car is currently being inspected by the dealer. There was no warning before the incident .

I am requesting an NHTSA investigation due to the potential for this defect to cause serious accidents or fatalities

This vehicle was purchased brand new Nov.29 2025 on Jan. 20 2025 (mileage - 1232) the vehicle was driven about 48 miles and once arrived the vehicle was placed in Park and turned off as normal. After 90 or so minutes inside came out to start vehicle and it would not start, dash lit up with multiple error messages : "Service Transmission Continue in D don't shift or turn off vehicle until you reach a desired location as you may not be able to shift again" "Service Electronic Stability Control" "Auto Park Disabled" "Vehicle not in Park" every feature on the car disabled. It would then not turn the power back off at all. Called roadside assistance and waited in 2 degree weather with my wife and child for about 2 hours to get towed to nearest Jeep dealer, all the while the power would not turn off to the Jeep. The dealer was still having an issue an hour later trying to turn off before we left. This vehicle is still with the dealer trying to diagnose the issue. This is a big safety issue that needs to be looked into as if I were driving this could have caused a serious issue especially with my children in the vehicle with me.

On multiple occasions while driving, vehicle gear blinked from Drive and told me place the vehicle in park. Unable to do so because I was in traffic, vehicle would no longer accelerate and completely stopped. I could not shift to Park and had to turn off the entire car. Once restarted, brake system was engaged and I could not turn it off until I restarted the vehicle again. I have had my children with me and while I haven’t been in an accident yet, it puts us in grave danger.
