ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I was driving down the highway and all of the sudden and with zero warning the engine cut off but the effect it had on the car was very severe engine braking as it automatically downshifted very aggressively which caused me to go from about 80mph to a stop VERY quickly. The dash looked as if I simply had the car switched to on without starting the engine. There were no warning lights lit. Shifting into park and turning the car completely off and back on allowed it to start again with no further symptoms.

I bought the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited in 2021. Since I bought it I have had one problem after another with this SUV. This is the list of repairs on my car since 2021... and Jeep has done nothing to compensate for my troubles. I feel like I got a lemon of a car and I would never purchase another jeep again. We have maintained the car and have records of all oil changes and tire rotation and all necessary maintance that should have been done on the car. July 31 2024... evaporator core fixed car leaking all over AC fixed... jeep couldn't find problem then finally did. Oct. 4 2024.. new radiator... car leaking all over... once again hard time finding problem March 26, 2024... two new batteries installed car hard time starting... was not problem cause March 27, 2024.. same problem brought back and now I need a fuel pump ( car had burning smell and I was driving it because they could not diagnose the problem )and because they made we wait a week to get it checked out they said there could be more damage to car not sure. Fuel pump should last 100,000 miles.. my car has 68, 000.00 In the three and half years with this car I have had one safety problem after another and I am upset I travel to help my elderly parents on Long Island and each time I am afraid something is going to go wrong with this car. I am so very upset on how the performance of a three year old car is running. I feel people need to know that Jeep is not a reliable brand of car. I am so upset and feel that my car is not reliable and safe for driving long distances and short distances. Thank you for listening to my story. I appreciate you letting others now how my experience with Jeep has been. Thank you

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Yesterday, with the temperature at 70°F in Michigan, I attempted to turn on my air conditioning and realized it was no longer working. The system was only pushing out hot air and never cooled. I immediately took my vehicle to the dealership for a diagnosis. Thankfully, I had started an extended warranty in January, because I was shocked to learn that the repair would cost around $2,500 to replace the evaporator, which had completely failed. Upon researching, I found that an evaporator should typically last between 8 to 10 years. I have owned my vehicle since January 2021, and with only 36,117 miles, I find it unacceptable that this critical component has already failed. I take excellent care of my vehicle and stay on top of all maintenance, so there is no reason this part should be failing this soon. What’s even more concerning is that when I spoke with the service advisor, they mentioned that the part was on backorder because many people with my same year, make, and model are experiencing the same exact issue. If this is a widespread problem, it raises serious concerns about the quality and longevity of this component. A $2,500 repair for something that should last much longer is unreasonable. I am submitting this report to document the issue and to bring awareness to what seems to be a common failure with this vehicle. Thank you,

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I was driving on [XXX] in November 2023 in Georgia when my sunroof (front panel, the part that opens) spontaneously exploded. No rock or debris hit us to cause this. The interior fabric sunroof cover was closed so the popcorn glass was contained. If the cover had not been closed, the glass would have rained down on me and my front seat passenger. I pulled over at the next exit and was able to temporarily seal the giant hole in the sunroof from the elements. Eventually a body shop was able to remove and replace the broken glass. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
