2022 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4XE Complaints

On several occasions, our 2022 Grand Cherokee Summit vehicle purchased in May 2022 from Pearson Jeep in Richmond, Va automatically switches to a lower gear causing the vehicle to have to be pulled over, put in Park before moving again. this is dangerous especially on the Interstate.

Upon startup power steering was disabled and the console message "power steering available service required". Blind spot detection and lane departure also showed as in-op. Wheel was very hard to turn. After traveling a few hundred feet I determined that the car was not safe to drive. After two vehicle restarts the problem cleared. If this happened at speed, in traffic, a serious accident is likely. Dealership is unable to look at problem for weeks. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM NHTSA!

Having less than 3K miles in the odometer, the engine started to develop valve train noise that worsens as the engine gets hotter, taken to the dealership to check on the concern plus no start, had the battery replaced after staying 3 weeks in the dealership, supposedly the noise was normal, took it to another dealership as the first one left a few things not fixed, once again i was told the noise was normal, The noise started to get louder as miles were being put on the car, people would ask if the car was a diesel powered one, even the service advisor of the dealership were the car remains asked me if the engine was diesel when she heard the noise. At idling speed the engine is not running smoothly you can hear cylinders misfiring on the exhaust, oil temp remains over 240 when driven, 245 just by pressing the gas to pass a car, oil pressure at idling speed has gone lower as time goes by reaching at times 28 psi. Noise varies when the engine switches in between 8 cyl or 4 cyl mode, in 4 cyl mode the whole car vibrates really bad and loud until you hit the gas to get the engine out of the 4 cyl mode. Service engine light came on once at idling speed when the idling speed became erratic. Engine stalled once. Car in the dealership since Jan 23 2023, was called exactly one month later to pick it up as per they report everything was ok, asked to try another one with the same engine mine has so i could hear the "normal" noise, they had none to check, the shop foreman went on a test ride with me to confirm the issue and then he acknowledged that the noise was weird, so i was asked to leave it, two months already went by and so far no word on the issue, the car has not being further diagnosed by the 'ENGINE EXPERT" will have to go through the lemon law as they just don't say a word or give me options. Grand Cherokee Summit reserve 5.7 Hemi engine. as of today 3/29/2023 still not diagnosed

Today while driving our Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was slowing for a stop light and a message came on saying service start/stop system. At the time I was traveling approximately 18 miles per hour. As I was slowing down I reached off approximately 5-8 mph when all of the car shifted to park.this was a very scary and dangerous incident for myself and vehicles around me. Now that I was stopped it wouldn’t let me shift the vehicle back in to drive. Finally a new message appeared saying stop/start restart required. Out of frustration and trying a number of different things, we eventually shut the ignition off and restarted the car and this did allow us to put the car in gear. It was a very unnerving situation. I immediately drove the vehicle to the dealership. This is the second time it’s in the shop for shifting to park on its own. After doing some research at home it appears others with the 202/2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L have been having similar issues. This is a very serious issue that needs fixed

Shortly after purchasing the vehicle I engaged the adaptive cruise control. It worked fine until such time as I attempted to pass a large vehicle such as a semi truck. When I would get along side of the truck the brakes violently slammed on without warning. The vehicle has been taken back to the selling dealer for repair and they were not able to fix it. (see uploaded Repair Order). I then called Jeep Customer Care who then sent me to another dealer for a second opinion. This dealer attempted repairs twice, both without success. When I took it back again a dealership employee rode with me and took a video of what happens when passing a truck with the adaptive cruise engaged. This dealer now has it for the third time and so far the vehicle has been there for about 9 days with no indication of any progress. Even if they "fix" it I am not confident of the safety of the vehicle as it would be very easy to be hit in the rear end by a following vehicle should this happen again.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated upon depression of the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and a software update was performed on the vehicle. The contact stated that several months after the software update, the vehicle failed to start up after multiple attempts. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where and remained in dealer possession. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

Two safety related issues are present on the vehicle, confirmed by dealership, and being actioned via FCA star tickets: 1) Blinkers are blinking at a non-standard speed 2) Side view cameras are intermittently disabling themselves, requiring dealership intervention each time Service records attached

We filled the car with gas and tried leaving the pump. Turned the car on and all the lights on the screen started blinking and said service steering. The steering wheel would not turn either way. I turned the car off and back on and it did the same thing. After a third attempt the car drove again but the check engine light remains on. This is very scary as if it happened while driving would cause a wreck.

The SUV likes to stall or glitch out when trying to start. Won’t shut off when it goes through this situation. Starter has been replaced and so has battery. Dealership still can’t figure it out. Makes weird noise also that we can’t pin point. Doesn’t happen every start on spontaneously.

The rear view camera and surround camera intermittently work. It is available for inspection. This is a safety risk for myself and others when backing up the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed and reproduced by a dealer. There is no indication of the failure before it happens.
