2024 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

The catalytic converter had to be replaced after 3000 miles. Vehicle was purchased in September and it had to be replaced in December. Had to take vehicle in twice for them to diagnose the problem.

The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the brake pedal failed to keep the vehicle stopped while at a stop light or stop sign, allowing the vehicle to continue to roll forward. The contact stated that the taillights failed to illuminate until manually turned on. The failure occurred intermittently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who could not determine the cause of the failure. The contact was informed to return the vehicle to the dealer if the failure occurred again. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Ron Carter Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram League City (3535 Gulf Fwy, League City, TX 77573) however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,000.

Bought my new 2024 Jeep in July 2024 and went to work this morning and came out 8 1/2 hours later to a dead car and the after a jump the engine malfunction light was on called to make an appt to get my car in to see what’s going on. I have noticed that I have been having problems using the car starter sometimes it won’t start and my seat and steering wheel warmers are programmed to come on at all starts and if the temp outside is 40 and above they do not come on. When starting the vehicle it starts very heavy and loud.

Car consistently will not start after sitting for more than 2 days. Cannot be immeaditly jump started. Talke to dealer and was told that is an ongoing issue with all Gran Cherokee's. A check of their car lot shows most cars needed to be jump started to show clients. They also told be they just had a service meeting discussiong issues with cars and JD power surveys. It was agrred by the sales force the batteries were not powerful enough for the carsa. Stallantis rep said they never heard of this before

the issues I'm experiencing are a rubbing sound when breaking and turing the wheel. THE CAR TURNED ON AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. nothing worked or responded no matter what you pushed. The brake sensor and lane assist diagnostic fault codes (error codes)popped up which they couldn't find a bulletin or error code to replicate the issue. The vehicle would not read the key fob, it would say the fob had left the vehicle because the door opened, or if i move the key while in the vehicle( bulletin for this issue). I get the call that my vehicle is ready and I'm driving away and the steering wheel vibration coming from the engine between 40 and 49mph feels like I should be driving on rumble strips, but the drive is smooth, this is coming straight from the engine or transmission when you accelerate through the steering wheel. This was not an issue before they ran their tests and fixed said problems. The computers are still updating on the screen and I hope that it evens out when the car turns on and off and the computers reset.NOW TODAY the car starts dinging and error codes are flashing on my dash. It's the lane sensor and the lane assist error code going crazy. This was the issue they couldn't replicate or find a bulletin on. Here's the fun part, the problem becomes more consistent when I apply the brakes. One time the brakes seem to not work properly. All these error codes pop up when you initiate the braking system. Then the final error code was warning me that the breaking system was faulty. I drove it straight to the dealership and left out with them again.

When driving on any kind of roads the brake pedal has a vibration. I recently changed the tires and it helped a little but the vibration is still there. I want to get this resolved bc I’m afraid of driving sometimes. The vibration isn’t crazy but I don’t know what is causing it. I feel unsafe driving sometimes.

it failed to shift out of low gear while merging onto the highway and the engine revved up to 6000 rpm as a result. I read that this is happening to other owners and the dealerships are unable to locate the problem. This is the first time that this happened to me, but from what I've read it will happen again. I'm afraid that the engine or transmission might blow up injuring me or or another vehicle next to me on the highway. I'm also afraid that if something does fail that it might cause me to lose control of the vehicle. I currently have a call into the dealership, but with what others have stated online, the dealerships have not been helpful in isolating the problem. There was no indication of any type (lamps or messages) that there was a problem.

The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that after driving for approximately 9 straight hours, the contact had turned on the driver-side seat warming feature. The contact then stated that she began to feel burns on her upper right thigh and immediately turned off the seat warmer. The contact stated that the burns were so severe that she went to urgent care for treatment. The contact was treated for burn blisters on her upper right thigh. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was instructed to take the vehicle to a dealer to have the seat inspected by a Chrysler investigator. The seat was torn apart and the investigator saw no signs that a breaker was tripped nor any evidence of burns on the heating coils. The vehicle was returned to the contact. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.

The key fob does not alway work. It is like the system in the vehicle “times out” and when the buttons are pressed in the key fob nothing unlocks, tailgate doesn’t open, or remote start doesn’t work. The door handle has to be touched for passive entry to “wake up” the key fob. Also, sometimes the vehicle says “key fob not detected” when in the vehicle to start it. At 6 months old the fob batteries had to be replaced. I have brought this up to my dealer and they said Stellantis is aware of the issue and are expecting a fix in the first half of 2025. There are many Jeep Grand Cherokee that are being built to this day with this issue. [XXX] Here is a link to a thread on a jeep forum. I would’ve never bought this car if I knew I would have this key fob issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Total Brake Failure in 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with less than 1800 Miles [XXX] , I was driving my new 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, with less than 1800 miles on it, North on [XXX] in St. Michael, MN, traveling at approximately 30+ mph. I had signaled to turn E on [XXX] . I turned on my signal and began moving slightly to the right to get into the right turn lane, depressing my brake pedal at the same time. The brake pedal with little downward travel (an inch or less?) jammed and would not allow me to depress it any further. I had zero braking ability. A white car heading West on [XXX] , seeing I had my turn signal on and was moving to the right, began to pull out to make the LH turn onto [XXX] and go south. When my brakes totally failed, I swerved violently to the left, as my subconscious mind apparently indicated I was traveling too fast to make the RH turn. The white car continued to enter [XXX] , and by some miracle, I managed to make it around that vehicle as I swerved into the oncoming lane that, thankfully, had no approaching traffic. I continued N on [XXX] and tried several times to depress the brake pedal to stop but could not depress it more than a tiny bit, my wife yelling frantically, asking me what I was doing. I said, “the brakes don’t work!” It was as though the brake pedal had a brick beneath it, even though it did not have any obstruction. With the engine still running, I glided to a stop just short of [XXX], pulling over to the curb as I halted. Still, I could not depress the brake, so I put the vehicle in “park.” The engine still running and being on the main road just short of the turn into the housing development, I thought I should put it in “drive” and go around the corner for safety. The vehicle would not allow me to take it out of park. I tried a several times without su INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
