2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The dashboard material has come loose and bubbled up. This issue is concerning in that: 1) the structural integrity of the dashboard itself is uncertain; failed adhesive alone can't account for this (my photo doesn't do it justice), 2) if allowed to continue, the material has the potential to fully come loose, thus leading to disruption of the visual field to safely see, and 3) materials and debris have the potential to become trapped under the bubbled-up sections, leading to additional concerns such as mildew or mold. It does get warm in Sacramento, but my car is parked inside or in a covered area 95% of the time. In fact, when I first noticed it, it had been parked in a shaded parking garage. I have been in zero accidents. Unfortunately, the other issue, is no one seems to be willing/able to fix it, and it sounds like I will have to be involved in an accident in order to get it done. Which is NOT something I want to do.

Exhaust system design defect. Original manifold system started to fail at approximately 40,000 miles, allowing CO gasses to enter vehicle cabin exposing passengers, including children, to potentially deadly exhaust fumes. Jeep, Jeep Service Centers have known since at least service bulletin 09-19-23 that the hangers and brackets used in the manifold system are not robust enough in design to “accommodate thermal expansion and engine movement without breaking or leaking.” I was never alerted to this. Addressing this via an unnoticed bulletin rather than a recall not only put me in physical danger, but ran out the clock so it could not be addressed as a warranty issue. Apparently, the manifold warps, gaskets fail, the vibration shears support bolts, and the carbon monoxide leaks into the car through the ventilation system upon warmup. Depending on severity perhaps the entire drive. Attached file is a $4200 estimate presented to me by the dealership where I originally purchased the car, preparing me for what I might have to pay out of pocket to fix the leaking exhaust system. There was no preemptive maintenance for this issue I could have had done, aside from not driving my car. Ever. I assumed when I bought the car that the manufacturer would not knowingly allow me to purchase a vehicle that pumps exhaust fumes directly into the cabin. I was wrong. This is a defect Jeep is obviously well aware of, and they chose to put their customer’s in harm’s way rather than taking action.

I am writing to make you aware of a safety issue that I have encountered with my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. On August 21, 2026, the gas pedal/throttle control just fell off as I was driving myself and infant on a busy three lane thoroughfare in [XXX]. I went to slow down the car by braking, but it was very difficult. I went into an empty bus lane so as not to get rear ended or crash into something. Finally, the car systems ceased. No warning lamps came on ever or any messages. I had no problems with the car prior to this occurring. As I said previously, I had my infant in the car with me at the time and never expected for a gas pedal/throttle to literally fall off. I didn't think that cars would be made for this to ever happen. This could've been a major tragedy. I usually commute to work on major highways with tractor trailers and trucks, but I was off that day luckily. We could have been killed. I had to have a flatbed bring it to a Jeep dealer in Nanuet, NY where they took possession of the car and car part. I did take phots of the part though. The Jeep dealer Rockland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Nanuet, NY repaired the Jeep. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The factory-installed 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen/display in my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is delaminating internally causing bubbling under the screen surface. The layers of the touchscreen are separating even though the screen has not been physically damaged. The Uconnect system and vehicle are available for inspection upon request. The delamination affects the touchscreen used to operate and display multiple vehicle functions. As the screen deteriorates, it can become difficult to read or operate and may result in unintended or “ghost” touchscreen inputs. This can create a driver distraction while the vehicle is moving and may interfere with the driver’s ability to reliably use information and functions displayed through the Uconnect system, including the rear-view camera display when backing up. The condition appears to be progressive and raises concern that the display could become increasingly unreliable. Yes. The vehicle was presented to an authorized Jeep dealership, and the delamination of the factory Uconnect touchscreen was confirmed. The dealership also attempted to determine whether Stellantis would provide repair cost assistance, but advised that its system would not allow a goodwill request because of the vehicle's expired warrenty. The car is only 6 years old and has less than 60,000 miles. Stellantis refuses to provide any assistance. Jeep dealership states it is a $1500 repair. The vehicle and Uconnect screen have been inspected by an authorized Jeep dealership. The vehicle has not been inspected directly by Stellantis, police, or an insurance representative. There were no warning lamps or vehicle warning messages before the screen began delaminating. The first noticeable symptom was visible separation/bubbling within the touchscreen display. The condition has progressively worsened. There was no impact, physical damage, or other event that caused the screen to separate. Symptoms first appeared in August 2026.

Radio / navigation screen de-laminating. Radio controls malfunction while driving. I am the fist and only owner of this vehicle. Car is garaged , and only has 63,000 miles on it. No environmental reason why this would be happening. I have went to dealership service department and they stated it was not covered by my extended warranty . I have also reached out to Jeep customer care with no resolution. The screen controls the AC , steering wheel heating , seat heating , phone Bluetooth, SOS , etc .

While driving on the interstate at highway speeds, the vehicle suffered a sudden and complete loss of motive power without warning, causing the engine to stall. The vehicle became a severe safety hazard in active traffic as power steering and power braking assists were greatly reduced, nearly causing a high-speed rear-end collision before I could safely coast to the shoulder.Upon investigation, the vehicle completely ran out of gasoline, despite the dashboard fuel gauge explicitly indicating at least a 1/4 tank of fuel remaining.This is the second time this exact failure has occurred. The first instance happened during the vehicle's factory warranty period. At that time, the dealership misdiagnosed the issue and replaced the auxiliary battery, failing to address the underlying fuel delivery defect.The vehicle currently has 37,950 miles. The defect appears to be a failure of the auxiliary fuel sending unit/siphon pump inside the saddle-style fuel tank layout. This failure prevents fuel from transferring to the main pump, starving the engine of fuel while falsely reporting to the driver that gas is still available. This is a severe manufacturing defect that actively misleads the operator and causes unexpected stalling at highway speeds.

On the 26th of April 2026, the transfer Case on my 2020 Grand Cherokee (with less 114,000 miles) failed during highway travel. This resulted in a sudden downshift and temporary deceleration followed by illumination of “Service 4wd” display. A short time after, the “Service Electronic Stability Control” indicator displayed followed by another downshift and the unattended transition of the 'Select_Terrain' from 'Auto' to 'Snow'. We were unable to turn off these settings. On the next day, we returned the Jeep to our CDJR dealer for repair. After inspection, the service agent reported that the Jeep experienced a “Transfer Case failure” and further recommended that I consider [purchasing] a new vehicle as these issues seem to be piling up. Failure of this nature is not normal wear. I have purchased 5 Jeep vehicles over the past 40 years and 4 of our Jeeps had over 250,000 miles of service without dangerous, catastrophic engine or drive-train failure such as this. This situation should remediated by the manufacturer and any affected components repaired or replaced. Finally, it should be noted that 3-days prior to the failure, the same CDJR dealer provided a 100,00-Mile 'service' that included "Op1 DMS All wheel Drive Fluid Exchange".
