ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Hello, I was driving my 2018 jeep grand Cherokee about 2 months ago when out of no where the car turned off as I came to a hill , the radio volume increased all the way and I couldn't control it , the main break locked, the wheel locked and my shifter lock, I started to roll back down the hill and I had to use my e-break. the car acted like it was turned off but it just died , the radio never turned back down until the tow company did something. i took it to jeep and they were super unhelpful , they said it was a starter , so i paid 2000 to replace the starter to no avail. Now the AC/Heat goes on by itself or just doesn't work, the radio will go all the way up and i cant control it. however jeep in Englewood Colorado said there is nothing wrong with the car.. I think there is a safety issue with the start stop /eco mode. I think once the car turns off to save gas its not turning back on and there is no safe system. i have contracted jeep multiple times to no avail, the car has died on the highway 3 times now once while i was traveling 65 mph . I have paid for 6000 worth of fixes and its still happening.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
On October 02, 2021, While driving at highway speeds the engine stopped running and the tachometer went to zero RPM. I was able to shift to neutral and cruise downhill until I could safely pull to the side of the road. I was able to shift back to park. The vehicle would not restart for approximately 20 minutes. During this time the electric windows would not roll up or down, the electric tailgate would not open but the electric drivers seat would work. After about 20 minutes the car restarted as if nothing had happened. The same thing happened 3 more times on the way home that same day. The same thing had happened 3 times over an 18 month period in 2018-2019. At that time, the jeep dealer could find no problems.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The check engine light and a (A)! light with "service auto/start stop" came on at the same time with no symptom of any issue being immediately noticeable. The Parking break "BRAKE" light on the dash light up for half a second. Then the transmission was stuck in 7th gear and would not downshift on its own. When pulling on the wheel's paddles a "shift denied" message was deplayed despite the fact i was going 10mph in 7th gear. Check engine light code was P076F and U0001 and U1199. Upon driving the vehicle again Car this time transmission got into 8th gear and stated "shift denied" and wouldn't downshift from 8th gear for any reason. I parked it for a couple days. When trying to take it to the dealership (A)! came back on about 5 min into my drive and stayed on for the remaining 25 min. Fault Log as of showing P076F (though car shifted fine through all gears except for that one day), U0001, P00FD, U0447, U1199, P02D1. The following things happened on the drive to the dealership 1) While driving the phrase "Service Shifter" showed up for less than 1 second and went away. 2) Then randomly the gauge clusters parking "BRAKE" light turn 3) The vehicle got stick in 3rd gear. The dealership provided a flash update to the transmission stating it was a "known issue" which is why there was already a software update, but this costed me over $200 to pay for a known issue that necessitate going to a dealership as the only way to get the known software update uploaded. It happened again 3 weeks already which almost resulted in a crash due to the vehicle being stuck in 7th gear even at low speeds (less than 10 MPH). The dealership "Roger Williams Jeep in Weatherford Texas" looked at it again and stated. They did't know what the problem was and that Jeep does not allow them to service the transmissions and they cannot explain any of the lights and sticking on other gears but the "service manual and jeep" would only allow a replacement of the transmission for $8,100.

Transmission went out in Kingman AZ, we live in WI. Warning light came on, luckily enough we got to a dealership. Truck is still in AZ waiting for a new transmission, as it is under warranty, apparently their on NONE available in the US. We are on special order list and have no idea how long it will take. Dealership says 2 days later another vehicle came in with the exact same problem. Jeep knows this is a problem and are hiding it.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Midway through a 2.5hr. drive, I approached a stop sign to make a right hand turn. When I came to a stop to check for oncoming traffic, the Jeep completely shut off on me. The cluster panel displayed “Shift to P to start” and the cluster panel was flashing all the warning lights. (vehicle was still in the ON position) I had then shifted the vehicle to Park, shut off the ignition and then restarted the Jeep. A very scary situation to happen during a normal drive. I have done some browsing and see that I’m not the only one who has encountered this problem. Due to the extreme safety issues at hand, I truly believe Chrysler should be investigating this underlying issue. (I’ve read some people have experienced this while driving on the main road with traffic. I’ve also read that one person experienced this and it ended in a vehicle accident.) This is a serious issue.

Additional Notes:
Midway through a 2.5hr. drive, I approached a stop sign to make a right hand turn. When I came to a stop to check for oncoming traffic, the Jeep completely shut off on me. The cluster panel displayed “Shift to P to start” and the cluster panel was flashing all the warning lights. (vehicle was still in the ON position) I had then shifted the vehicle to Park, shut off the ignition and then restarted the Jeep. A very scary situation to happen during a normal drive. I have done some browsing and see that I’m not the only one who has encountered this problem. Due to the extreme safety issues at hand, I truly believe Chrysler should be investigating this underlying issue. (I’ve read some people have experienced this while driving on the main road with traffic. I’ve also read that one person experienced this and it ended in a vehicle accident.) This is a serious issue.

Potential Consequences:
Both right and left rear passenger seat belts (female end) stopped holding the buckle in and is no longer working, both stopped working at the same time. Jeep is not covering this and I am spending money to replace. The Jeep has 45,000 miles on it. This seems like a defect and a major safety issue.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
One morning when I turned on my Jeep Grand Cherokee the PRNDL did not light up and the car said "Service Shifter" but the warning would go away after a few seconds. I took the car to a Jeep dealership and after 6 hours they told me the PRNDL needed to be replaced but the car was perfectly safe to drive. I waited 3 weeks for the part to arrive, and was told they'd replace the PRNDL and it would be covered by my extended warranty. I waited 5 hours at the dealership to be told once they replaced the part that the car would not move out of park. I then got a call telling me the entire shifter would need to be replaced and would not be covered under warranty. There was no actual issue with my vehicle before I dropped it off at the dealership. The car was shifting between park, drive, neutral, reverse without any issues. They also told me they would try to put the old part back on to see if it was a faulty part. They quoted me $617 for a part that before today I did not need. This is absolutely ridiculous as there are multiple forums and feeds online about Jeep Grand Cherokees having this issue. This needs to be a recall and covered by the Jeep dealership.
