The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the infotainment display was frequently powering off and on and failed to display pertinent vehicle safety information; however, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, and the contact continued driving to the destination. Upon the return trip to the residence and loading groceries into the rear of the vehicle, the liftgate started to close independently. The contact made several attempts to trigger the liftgate proximity sensor and pinch protection system to prevent the liftgate from closing; however, the vehicle failed to detect the presence of a person, and the liftgate continued to close. In response, the contact jumped into the rear of the vehicle to escape possible injury from the liftgate closing prematurely. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,000.
