While driving on 4 lane, at 55mph Jeep Grand Cherokee shifts into N very rough, steer to shoulder of hwy - dash reads -??vehicle speed to high to shift-?? - and kills motor. Happened 3 times last night (12/3/24 at 7:15pm- outdoor temp was 21) Very, very hazardous to say the least!!! What is happening here? At the time this happened- no warning at all! Jeep has a serious problem with others complaining about this same issue- they have gotten no answers.

Our Jeep will shift into neutral at random while driving. This has happened 5 times with in 2 years and twice on the same day. The most recent incident occurred on [XXX] while driving my wife and 3 week old daughter to Orange County. On this day, the Jeep shifted into neutral twice. The first time it happen, we were heading to Orange County and I was on the offramp when it shifted and I was able to pull over safely. My wife has experienced this previously and told me to turn off the car and wait a minute and turn it it back on. I was able to turn the car on and got to our destination. On our return home, it happened again while we were in the fast lane on the highway. I had to cross 5 lanes while the vehicle was in neutral during traffic. Once, we got to the side of the highway, I wasn't able to use the break as well. It felt like it was fighting me while pushing the break but we did eventually come to a stop. The jeep was not able to start back up like the first time and had to call for a tow truck. We have taken this Jeep 3 times to get inspected but all 3 times they couldn't duplicate the issue and gave us the keys back like nothing is wrong. We've taken it to a Chrysler dealership twice and a private one. There was never a warning lamp light whenever this occurred. The Jeep's defect poses a significant safety risk to myself, my infant daughter, my son, my wife, or whomever is in my car at the time and everyone else on the road. My feeling is that Chrysler won't do anything until its too late and someone is injured or a lost of life. I have reached out to them already and got a case number. Its been a week and no case manager has called me yet. This is unacceptable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Fuel pressure pump system RECALL, the dealership refuses to put the RECALL part on due to my vehicle not running. There has been more problems with my JEEP as well with the amount of recalls and malfunctions I have been in and out of the garage. Currently is being held at Roger Williams Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram- Weatherford TX. I just want to get my recalls done first to go from there and then will get my Jeep fixed if the recall does not fix the problem. I have had it there since June and they have the part in just are refusing to put it on.

When raining the water will leak throug the sunroof or headliner not sure where it comes through but it comes from 2 places one hitting the arm rest / middle console which caused the terrain selection to go out and im worried it will cause the screen or something else to go out and catch on fire as I read it is common with these problems, when I purchased the vehicle as well they said it was just a frozen trunk gate spring but once I looked up the problem happening it is said to cause the gate to go out

Driving on highway 290 West near Waller. At 75mph I attempted to pass slower traffic by accelerating after moving into the farthest left (passing) lane when my Jeep lost power. Had to maneuver while coasting between traffic in lanes (frogger anyone?) to farthest right lane by coasting through to an exit by chance. Would not restart while coasting. Traffic line formed behind me for those also seeking same exit I needed at the last second. I was unable to fully move into shoulder because of debris seen and fear of damage to tires. After coasting to a full stop a quarter mile from Love's Truckstop, put vehicle in park, and was able to restart after hesitation. Engine light on with my reader stating "confirmed" codes P0336, U1401; and a "pending" code of P05ED. Now takes 3-5 seconds to start when used to be "instantly." In a nutshell, this was not fun. :| Note to manufacturer, please stop skimping out on quality.

The rear lift gate automatically closes after being raised to the open position. It descends with considerable force and has struck me in the head on multiple occasions. Despite discussing the matter with the Jeep dealership, I was informed that there is no active recall for this specific issue on my vehicle. However, safety recalls have been issued for similar issues in other vehicles of the same class but different model years. I am genuinely worried about the safety implications of this problem and am disappointed that Jeep has not recognized and addressed it.

Was driving along normally and came to a stop and heard a big pile at the back of the car followed by a crinkling noise as I realized the rear glass was beginning to shatter. I looked at the person behind me to see if they may have seen something but they appeared to be completely unaware. I looked around to see if anything could have hit the glass but there was no evidence of that. About 20 minutes earlier I had used the rear defrost and that's the only thing I could think of that would have potentially cause the issue.

22V-406 Recall issued June 9 2022. We-??ve tried to have fixed but parts unavailable. At what point is this untimely? It has been over a year which seems untimely to me. The safety issue indicates high pressure fuel pump ("HPFP") that could fail prematurely. A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.

I have had several incidents where the car was not responding properly such as fob key unlocking car, even with brand new battery, I-??d have to unlock car manually but alarm would go off for 10min+ then randomly stop and car would allow me turn it on. Sunroof wouldn-??t work properly and get stuck. One night ( about 8/12) car lights turn on and off and power gate lift opens randomly and battery catches fire which is extreme danger. Someone was able to put it out in time. This is a fairly new battery. Car has been in dealership for about 3 weeks now and I have been told that the body control module failed causing non stop current to the battery causing it to explode. I am now being charged $1600~ for repair/ parts.

I had a warning code of service electronic throttle. It then started to regenerate and we took it to Lithia Jeep to fix EGR recall. They needed to replace engine intake because it caught fire. Several months later the car broke down while driving, sputtering, knocking, squealing. Upon inspection, metal flakes found in oil. Suspected HPFP sucked into engine causing havoc. The HPFP is an open recall but no available replacement parts. I'm currently out of a vehicle. I've contacted Jeep but haven't heard a reply

I was driving in the high and when I went to accelerate the vehicle went into -??limp-?? mode. I made it to the closest dealership to get checked. The dealership explained to me the tone wheel delaminated and that is the reason my check engine light came on. The codes read camshaft position sensor issue, but the dealership said it is because of the delaminated tone wheel

Today, July 22, 2023, my son (21 years old) was sitting in the driver's seat of our Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 parked in a parking lot and he felt like someone punched him in the back of the head. It turned out to be the headrest (active head restraint) whacking him in the back of his head. The active head restraint pushed out and can't go back in. He was not driving, but his head and neck hurt from this spontaneous event. I called the dealership where we purchased the car and we are bringing the car to the dealership on Monday, July 24th. There were no warning lamps, messages or any other problems with the car when this happened. He was not even driving.
