About 3 years ago i noticed a small bubble in the upper right corner of my touchscreen. Didnt pay much attention for a while but it started spreading to the left. I took a photo and sent a picture to the man that helped me buy my car and asked if there was a known Recall for this. Said he would check, he confirmed there was none. I let it go because i hadnt purchased any extended warranty. Bubbling continued to spread. Occasionally my radio station would change on its own. I thought it was just my imagination and let it go. In July of 2025 my family and i were on vacation and I was driving in Williamsburg, VA. I was using my Jeeps navigation. Suddenly my arrow was taking me off track of the road i was on. This was very distracting considering we were out of town on vacation. My husband took my iphone and typed the address we were going and connected my phone to my charging cord so i could use car play. This did not work and neither did his samsung. It was like they were malfunctioning. We ended up using one of our phones with no connection to my jeep, my husband verbally directed me. Navigation map on my Jeep only showed me in water and still does to this day. When we got back in town I again reached out to the man who helped me, telling him our experience on vacation. He took me to the service center and the guy working the desk knew exactly what i was talking about and said this was common issue. He got me scheduled for repair. I didnt think to ask about if it was free or what. I was just glad he knew what i was talking about. My husband and i came back for my scheduled appt and i immediately asked the guy at the desk if this was free. He stated no it would be around $1500. I couldnt afford that. He asked if i had the extended warranty. I told him no. He said sorry and that was about it. I just walked away and have been dealing with this ever since.

While driving down the road my panoramic sunroof (not the moving piece but the stationary glass) spontaneously burst and shattered. Clear skies, no trucks around me, no overpasses near me, no trees over me, no debris on the road. No other damage to the vehicle. It appears that it burst outward rather than inward. My vent shade was fully closed so no glass fell into the vehicle down onto myself and my 11 month old child, but had it been open we could-??ve been seriously cut up and injured. No warning signs at all, I rarely ever use my sunroof and it was not in use at the time of incident. It caused about a 8 inch by 4 inch hole in my sunroof. This is going to cost nearly $1800 to repair due to no fault of my own.

The dash touchscreen is having a delamination issue. It looks like a crack but is actually the two layers of the touchscreen separating which make it look like a crack. From what I see online this looks to be a common issue with the touchscreen but there is no recall. Speaking with the dealership this is an expensive fix. I was quoted $1,725 plus labor to replace the screen.

Electronic stability and 4wd lights came on. Brought to dealership and the PTU is no longer working. My car is vibrating and hesitating when accelerating. Jeep dealer told me it-??s common to have to replace these units however they are nationally back ordered. My car doesn-??t even have 60k miles on it and even if I want to fix my car so it-??s safe I can-??t because the parts are backordered leaving me with no other choice but to drive for months months unsafely without a properly functioning PTU

I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding my recent visit to your service center on April 22, 2025, for a scheduled appointment to replace the driver's side rim and two front tires. Upon post-service inspection of my vehicle, I observed that the newly installed front tires were Bridgestone, rather than Ironman, which are consistent with the original rear tires. It appears that the service department took the liberty of replacing the front tires with more expensive Bridgestone models without prior consultation or my explicit approval. After addressing this issue with the service manager, the initial compensation offered was limited to a few complimentary oil changes and tire rotations. Subsequently, the manager contacted me with an offer of one new Bridgestone tire for the rear, contingent upon my purchase of the other tire. I declined this offer, having recently invested approximately $4,000 in various services and brake work. In a third communication, the manager proposed to provide new front tires to match the existing rear tires. These fluctuating offers have left me perplexed and frustrated, as I lack both the financial resources and time to engage in such negotiations. I regret to inform you that I find this resolution unsatisfactory, given the unexpected change in tire brand and the associated increase in cost. This situation has caused considerable inconvenience and warrants a more appropriate resolution.

The main computer or console of this vehicle is known to malfunction and cause the lose of air condition, heat, defrosters, back up camera's, camera sensors, navigation controls, etc. My vehicle was fixed once, but the issue was only warrantied for two years from the repair, which they failed to notify me at the time of the mfg. repair. Additionally, they failed to disclose was the entire dashboard had to be disassembled in order to replace my defective computer/console. Why is that important to know? Well, the leather upgraded dash boards once removed from the car are more receptive to bubbling up and causing an interference to the effective operation of the airbags. Again, the dealership didn't disclose this or how the repair was completed, how it could impact the critical safety features of the vehicle, and they have declined any responsibility of potentially causing additional safety issues when reparing their know defect.

Service shifter light comes on, sometimes it makes the engine light come on and a message appears that says to safely stop the vehicle and put into park. Doing some research on this myself no help from Jeep I found that this could cause the tires to lock up because your Jeep thinks it was put into park as your driving causing a severe accident especially if your on the highway. I also found that you can stall instantly. Imagine having children in your vehicle on the highway and your Jeep just dies. I feel like this is a very serious safety issue that needs to resolved by Jeep. I've had my Jeep brought to a Jeep dealership 3 times now. Currently there as we speak. They have done extensive work to what "may" be causing the issue. They are now chasing wires. I've paid $800. out of pocket and my warranty has covered about 3k in parts. Jeep has been contacted by the dealer with no help or guidance.

The main screen display in my Grand Cherokee is de-laminating. It is happening so quickly and makes the screen difficult to see, creating a hazard. I called Jeep Cares and they informed me that nothing could be done but I could pay out of pocket. Jeep said that it didn't meet requirements for repair/replacement and I asked what requirements it didn't meet. The representative told me that was proprietary information. A week later, the screen is getting hard to see so I messaged Jeep on Facebook. They responded and asked for my information and they would review and get back to me. I provided that information and now they are actually ignoring me. I followed up twice, they read the message and will not respond.
