2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Electrical Problems

Your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is experiencing engine misfires and overheating that create unsafe driving conditions. The engine shakes and runs roughly, the check engine light flashes, and you may lose power unexpectedly while driving; additionally, the vehicle is losing coolant and running hot. Even after multiple repair attempts including replacing ignition coils and spark plugs, the problem keeps coming back and the root cause hasn't been identified. A mechanic will need to perform comprehensive engine diagnostics to identify why the misfires and overheating are recurring, possibly involving ignition system testing, fuel system inspection, and cooling system pressure testing.

Your car suddenly shut off while driving at 30 mph, causing the steering wheel to lock up and the engine to stop completely. The dashboard displayed a start/stop message and instructed you to put the car in park. This is a serious safety issue that needs immediate diagnosis, as sudden engine shutdown while driving can lead to loss of control.

Your Jeep's battery drains completely in below-zero temperatures, leaving the vehicle unable to start. Even jump-starting doesn't work when the battery is severely drained. This can leave you and your passengers stranded in dangerous cold weather conditions.

Your engine is overheating and misfiring, and these problems match known issues documented by Jeep's manufacturer. The dealership hasn't performed the full diagnostic testing needed, and Jeep closed your case without fixing the problem, leaving your vehicle still experiencing these issues. This creates a safety concern because the engine could lose power or shut down while you're driving. Fixing this will likely require the dealership to perform proper diagnostic testing (STAR testing) and then complete the repair procedures outlined in Jeep's technical service bulletins for this engine.

Your starter motor keeps failing to engage and won't start your vehicle, and this has happened multiple times with only 32,000 miles on the car. The dealership technician didn't properly document the defective starter during inspection and wanted to charge you $118 for diagnosis. According to your warranty, defective parts should be replaced at no cost, but you're being asked to pay for the inspection first.

Your dashboard touchscreen display is peeling or separating from its backing, which could distract you while driving. The screen may become completely detached, creating a safety hazard. Replacing or repairing the touchscreen assembly will likely be needed.

Engine died twice on busy freeway and needed to be towed to a shop. Shop verified the fuel pump was working. There is most likely a problem with the fuel pump relay.

On Two seperate occasions, the message telling me to "Shift into P, and then desired gear." appeared while driving. I shifted into P while parked at an intersection both times and the car died. The second time it happened as I was driving away from Rairdon's Jeep in WA. I made it one street after having my ignition system replaced to the tune of $2,600. Was able to turn the car around and get it back to them. They have had my car for almost a month and state there is no error code, so they cannot diagnose.

The vehicle does not start each time you attempt to start it. Randomly, with no specific conditions to replicate, you will start the vehicle and the starter will engage, but the vehicle will not start. The push button start will time out, you attempt to start the vehicle again, and it starts. This, from my research, is a known issue with 2016-2020ish Jeeps, with a fault in the Fuel Pump Relay, with the easiest fix to remote start your vehicle each and ever time you start it. This happens several times per week. I contacted the dealership we purchased the vehicle from, and our local Jeep service department. They were familiar with this issue, acknowledged its a pretty big problem, but because it is not a recall for Jeeps, there is nothing they can do except for me to bring it in and pay for all of the fixes for a known production issue.

First gear knocks hard in to gear,this happ en on uphills,cluster and the speed meter and the in infotainment screen has go pitch black,loss of power under acceleration and collapsing all the system of the car.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the messages "No Seat Belt", "Service Air Bags", "Service Seat Belts" and "Auto Park Disabled" were displayed. The contact stated that the failure had occurred with the driver and the front passenger's side seat occupant wearing their seat belts. Additionally, the brake and the check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) had failed, and the loss of communication with the ORC had caused the electrical failures. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V873000 (Air Bags), but the dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

Electric start is cranking but engine takes up to 10 seconds or longer to turn over. This happens from cold start and even the stop start when in drive at a stop sign or stop light. It is either an issue with fuel injection/fuel pump or something else as it is not a battery issue just replaced them to be sure or a starter issue.

When starting car, the push to start feature will not turn over and continuously cranks multiple times. The entire fuse box was replaced because the dealer told me that was the issue. The car is a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Numerous people online said they were forced to replace the fuel pump? Although Faulkner Buick in Trevose told me that there’s nothing wrong with my fuel pump. I can’t keep getting charged for repairs that are not necessary. Could this be a faulty part? that so many people have the same issue? Could you please investigate this as I just bought the car a month ago And it’s been at the dealer three times already. Thank you.

have a delaminating touchscreen which is causing a safety issue.

I went to put the car in park from driving and the car began jumping. The air conditioning fan stopped working inside the cabin. The air conditioning is not working in full speed and is not blowing hot out cool air.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and turned off, the headlights flashed off and on and the horn activated. The contact stated that eventually the vehicle failed to start and was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that Body Control Module (BCM) was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 47,100.

The auto stop-start feature not functioning, with a message "Stop/Start Unavailable Service Stop Start System Now

The car keeps dying while I’m driving and saying “shift to park” and then slamming on the brakes and dying. The card is 4 years old with 44k miles. I had to sit on the side of the road in 93 degree heat in Florida while pregnant and waiting on a tow truck. How has someone not died because of this? I’ve seen SEVERAL posts of people saying the same thing happened to theirs. It’s SO unsafe.

Vehicle will randomly shut off with "Shift to P" message on dash. No warning lights or errors found very unsafe to drive.

On Feb 5, 2025, vehicle was started with remote start (in garage with garage door open). Within a few minutes, the entire cabin was engulfed in flames. No warnings, no prior vehicle issues, no recalls. Fire department was called and got fire out. Cause unknown, but appears to have been related to electrical. No or minimal damage under hood. Insurance now has possession of vehicle. Unsure of inspection but they did gather photos and declare a total loss. This could have happened while I was driving, injuring me, my family and others. This could have burnt my garage and/or house down. Please reach out to me for questions or more info. Thank you.

I was sitting inside my home when all of the sudden I heard a loud boom, walked outside and saw my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee on fire. The fire started in the front and moved to the back of the vehicle. The engine had been off for about 2 hours and vehicle was sitting in the driveway. My son's car seat, stroller and many other belongings were ruined in the fire. A police report was not filed, but a fire report was.

I was driving approximately 55 MPH on the highway when my vehicle suddenly lost all acceleration. I received an alert on the dash and a chime - the alert stated "Shift to P to Start" - with no other warnings and no CEL or Check Engine light. Pressing the gas, even to the floor, did nothing. I was forced to brake the car to a stop on the shoulder, shut off the engine, and restart the vehicle. Afterwards, I experienced some slight hesitation which resolved, and then was able to drive the rest of the trip without issues. Having the vehicle lose all power on the highway without warning is a serious safety issue.

Vehicle shuts off (engine) randomly during driving. This is the third occurrence. After waiting a few minutes vehicle is ‘fine.’ Dealership is not able to ‘replicate’ the issue. Serious safety issue. How can I operate my vehicle ethically, when I know it could shut off randomly … particularly on a fast moving highway? Dealership says it sees no error codes or issues. My hunch is an issue with the fuel pump? Perhaps a fuel sensor? PLEASE HELP! I am scared to death of driving my vehicle, and I feel I am not being offered the assistance I need. I don’t want to see anyone get hurt. Thank you. Best, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On [XXX], at approximately 9:30AM, I was driving my daughter’s 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L (VIN: [XXX]) to my home to detail it for her. After turning onto [XXX] from [XXX], Spring Branch, TX, the digital screens in front of the driver and in the center console turned off and went blank. Approximately 3-5 seconds later, the screens turned on, but then they went blank again after about 5 seconds. At this time, the engine felt as though it was stumbling as though it was running out of fuel. I then began to smell what smelled like melting plastic and then I saw dark colored smoke beginning to come out from under the center console on the right side of the vehicle. I slowed down and looked for a safe place to pull the car off of the road. The entire scenario appeared to have lasted 1-2 minutes, but I really don’t know exactly how long it was before I was able to exit the vehicle. In order to see where I was going, I rolled down the front windows and as soon as I did so, I saw flames appearing from underneath the center console on the right side of the vehicle. I was able to stop the vehicle on the right shoulder of the road and then I placed the vehicle in park and I exited the vehicle. I moved away from the vehicle and called 9-1-1. Bulverde – Spring Branch Fire & EMS and Comal County Sheriff’s Department arrived several minutes later and when they arrived, the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames.

While driving on the highway Friday [XXX] in the middle lane the whole vehicle just shut down and locked up. Speed roughly about 20-30 mph in rush-hour traffic. No warning lights at all. Full tank of gas. Zero power to anything. Wheels locked up completely. Shifter nonresponsive to try Neutral. No hazard lights. No brake lights. No way of giving other vehicles a warning. Could not open doors or windows. 911 was called to the scene and I was very thankful not to have been seriously injured or lose my life during this whole situation. I was transferred into the fire truck as to get out of traffic. Fire department had to google where to find locking mechanism for the wheels in order to push it over to the right lane. I have a police case number on hand. Vehicle had to be towed to a body shop. The vehicle was sent into service TWICE before for electrical/battery issues in March & April of 2024.

Seat started moving to the 1st saved memory position while driving. This happened over and over and over until I got home. Now the seat memory for the 1st position has stopped working and number 2 is what the 1st use to be.

Radio not turning on at all

I am writing to file a complaint regarding an ongoing issue with the 10.1-inch infotainment screen in my Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The problem specifically pertains to the consistent disconnection of Android Auto, a critical feature for modern vehicle functionality. I believe this issue poses a safety risk and warrants further investigation. 1. Component/System Description: The malfunction involves the 10.1-inch infotainment screen, which controls various vehicle functions, including Android Auto connectivity. 2. Safety Concerns: The persistent disconnection of Android Auto has jeopardized my safety and the safety of others on multiple occasions. This issue interrupts vital functions such as navigation, communication, and hands-free operation, posing a risk of distraction and diminished driver focus. 3. Dealer Response: I have sought assistance from the dealership for this issue. However, their response has been inadequate. The dealership attempted a system reset, which proved ineffective in resolving the problem. The malfunction persists despite their intervention. 4. Confirmation by Dealer/Service Center: The dealer confirmed the issue but failed to rectify it. Their inability to address the problem raises concerns about the effectiveness of the current troubleshooting methods employed by Jeep service centers. 5. Third-Party Inspection: As of now, the vehicle or the malfunctioning component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. 6. Warning Signs: Prior to the complete failure, warning signs were evident. The Android Auto disconnection issue was preceded by intermittent connectivity problems, displaying error messages and disruptions in the infotainment system. These warning signs were reported to the dealership. I am open to providing any additional information or cooperating in any further investigation deemed necessary.

Vehicle died suddenly in traffic 2 times. Was able to restart after a short while. Was a serious safety issue as I was at highway speed 1 of the 2 times. Vehicle is now at an independent garage. 40k miles. Not under warranty. Has not been inspected or diagnosed yet. No warning lights or codes showing.

I purchased vechicle 9/11/21. The electronic start stop option is not Fuctioning. I understand you could stall In traffic if you use the option. I prefer to use standard way for safety.

This was 5 -6 times my new car broke down 3 times for fuel pump problem then i have engine light on more than4-5 times . Now its still on they fixed it 2 month ago. I just buy this brand new car in 2021. Not completed 3 years yet and having 56700 kms on it .

On many occasions, warning lights come on for no reason. The dealer has "updated" software, but to no avail.. Collision warning, stop/start error, throttle body error and more. On the last event we were driving uphill, approx 25 mph, nobody in front of us, and the brakes slammed on with multiple errors showing.. the car then lurched forward with active breaking, stop start error, throttle body sensor all showing up and going away. This happened 4 times on the evening of Sep 15th. The errors and random and intermittent.. They replaced a "secondary" battery at one point, and that did nothing. They told us we needed to drive it for over 100 miles, to charge the battery, but it did not fix the stop/start or any other error. Now it is in the Cerritos dodge dealer and we have a formal complaint filed with Chrystler.. The dealer states they can't find any problems.. During most of the events, the errors and warning lights do not stay on longer than a few seconds. I have one picture I was able to take when the warning lights stayed on a little longer.

My heat and air and defrost comes on and off when it is raining my defrost do not work that is a safety hazard if I Can not defrost my window when it rain and snow nothing works in my truck it works when it wants to . This should be a recall this was a brand new when I brought it should not be having these problems already at theses miles , also my locks don’t want to lock my driver door I have to push it lock.

Two days in a row - the jeep didn't start in the morning. After I started it with a starter. The first day, the buttons on the steering wheel and the safety system control stopped working. Incorrectly shows the fuel level. The second day when the car started with the help of a starter, the dashboard stopped working (completely went out). The battery was checked - it is 100% working The dashboard didn't work during the day. Everything worked in the evening. The engine speed does not rise above 3000 revolutions per minute. Now it doesn't show the fuel level in the tank correctly. Very often, security systems such as lane control and proximity to another car fail

While driving at highway speed the motor shut down without any warning. I was in the center lane of traffic and had no acceleration, no power steering, nothing the vehicle went dead in highway traffic at highway speeds. I had to coast and get over several lanes and on to the shoulder. Vehicle came to a stop on a narrow shoulder with speeding vehicles and 18 wheelers whizzing by. I had to cal 911 and get police to help so I wouldn't get rear ended. Had to wait on shoulder for an hour to get a tow to safety. The vehicle never restarted, and the transmission was locked in park. The vehicle is now at the jeep dealership to see what happened. I just read on line that Jeep Grand Cherokees have this problem and Jeep is not doing anything to repair. Please advise me on how to proceed with this. I have been driving for 50 years, and today was the scariest day of my life I thought we were going to die in a pile up. Doug savage

Battery has died three times within 1.5 years…

In January all lights loss of the power steering assist, traction control, lane assist, emergency brake, backup assist, airbags, etc. illuminated while driving. Made it home car failed to start next day, had to have it towed. Dealership replaced battery (car only 1 year old). 4 weeks later driving on highway doing 70 with whole family in car same thing occurs. Got off highway and parked. Total loss of power steering at this point and car undeliverable. Had to get it towed again. Dealership now says need to replace both batteries. This seems to be a HUGE safety issue. Multiple complaints online of the same thing occurring.

On 12/31/2022, I received six notifications from my app regarding “theft alarm triggered”. Go outside horn is honking. Turn off and continued. January 2, 2023 I brought vehicle into jeep as my entire dash was glitching in and out. Couldn’t see my speed limit. Interior lights were turning on and off. Back light on interior tailgate was blinking. They had my car a few days and it was “fixed”. February 3, 2023 vehicle wouldn’t start. Replaced battery. Vehicle dash began glitching, interior lights turning on and off and theft alarm notifications. Brought into jeep they said it was the battery even though we just replaced battery. They replaced battery and called me to pick up the next day. 2/7/2023 same issues began occurring. However, when car was powered off, a buzzing sound was heard and interior lights were turning on and off. 2/8/2023 vehicle would not start. Had to be towed to dealership. Concerned there is an electrical issue that could cause a fire. Unsure if issue was reproduced but I have several videos all time stamped and dated to show delegates what is happening.

While driving 65 mph, the power steering assist, traction control, lane assist, emergency brake, backup assist, air bags, and check engine warning lights all illuminated, and the vehicle failed to operate and function as needed. Had to used excessive force to steer the vehicle off the road and had to repeatedly pump the brake pedal. Additionally, the turn signals and warning lights failed to operate as needed. quickly pulled over and was able to make it to a parking spot. Could have been rear ended. Unable to drive the vehicle towed to a dealer. Second time the same issues occurred. Had to quickly react before getting rear-ended while driving 50 mph. The power steering assist, traction control, lane assist, emergency brake, backup assist, air bags, and check engine warning lights all illuminated, and the vehicle failed to operate and function as needed. Quick response to pull over so we weren't hit. No symptoms prior to all the lights flashing and losing power steering.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced a computer failure, causing an unknown module to be replaced. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 10-15 MPH and pulling out of the parking lot, the message "Activate The SOS" was displayed. The contact called Jeep Emergency System Department and inquired about assistance with turning off the emergency system and was informed that there was no indication that the SOS system message had been activated. The contact parked, turned off, and restarted the vehicle; however, the instrument panel lights and center display failed to activate even though the engine was still running. The vehicle lost motive power independently turned off and failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the parking sensor module had failed, causing correlated damages to other unknown modules. The dealer replaced the parking sensor module; however, after driving the vehicle, the dealer diagnosed that the PCM and powertrain transfer case needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to trade the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

Bought vehicle in October - dealer was only able to give me the vehicle 2 months later. When I picked up the vehicle it smelled like something electric was burning. I texted my sales guy from the lot he didn't respond immediately I thought maybe it's just something outside the vehicle. Brought it home found it there is a recall on this vehicle and it doesn't accelerate efficiently. When I took it back to the dealership the dealer couldn't fix it and refused to take the vehicle back. I have paid my car payments for a vehicle I can't use. Please help me resolve this issue

Twice my vehicles charging system has not charged effectively. The first time, the adaptive cruise and forward collision systems became inoperable. During a 500 mile trip at highway speeds the battery voltage did not increase over 12.8v. This caused the air conditioner to stop blowing cold air on a 90 degree day. Two days later the air-conditioning system is still not operable.

I started my car with my factory installed remote starter and 5 minutes later my car was engulfed in flames. This was a brand new car, and has been reported to Chrysler,. I reported this the day it happened on 5/9/22 and I still have not heard back from Chrysler. Just concerned this could happen to others.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving, the navigation system became inoperable. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that a software update was needed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the crash warning lane departure alert was sounding and failed to disengage. The contact stated that the vehicle would indicate that the vehicle was running even though the vehicle had not been started. The speedometer failed to provide the correct information and the seats would move independently. The contact stated that since purchasing the vehicle there had been several electrical issues with the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to the dealer who linked the failure to the radio frequency hub. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000. Dealer stated that the radio frequency hub needs repair but they are unable to get the part as it part of a recall on the 2022 model.

Last night, my BRAND NEW car (Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited) tried to kill me. Driving down 1187 going 40 miles an hour, it came to a DEAD STOP, put itself in park and would not crank or start back up. All I could hear in the panic was screeching tires from cars trying not to hit me. The seatbelt also did not stop me and I was thrown into the steering wheel. My car has less than 900 miles on it. After a panic attack of EPIC proportions and a sleepless night, I immediately drove it to the dealership today and of course they can find NOTHING wrong with it. They are going to keep it a few days to double check a few things, but to say I will no longer be able to drive this car without SEVERE anxiety is an understatement. It has less than 1000 miles on it and I haven't even made my first payment. Trading it in, I will automatically lose $3100. If I don't trade it in, I don't think I would ever be able to get over the anxiety of driving it. Talk about a lose/lose situation. All I could think about is if I had been going faster and there had been more traffic, I could have KILLED someone including myself. Thank you to the kind salesman who, when I pulled up this morning, said "I love your car" and I proceeded to break down crying and hand him the keys and say you can keep it. He was so helpful in calming me and getting it checked out right away. I've owned it 21 days exactly. Honestly I am not sure I want to take the chance of it happening again.

Purchased new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland in December 2021. The SUV has 2900 miles on it. Since purchase, the auto park engages at random moments most recently today when pulling out of drive thru lane. I began to drive the jeep forward and it locked up and engaged park brake. This has happened on numerous occasions. I went to get in the Jeep a few days ago. Started the engine and the brake engaged itself before even putting the vehicle in reverse. The touch screen in the dash that controls all functions of the SUV including radio, car play, heat/cooling, vehicle settings will randomly shut off and go black while traveling. While using the paired phone setting when making a call, the speakers produce a swishing/scrubbing sound that will not stop while the call is in session. New today, the windshield washer fluid light is on and the fluid is full. Due to "staffing shortages," can't get the Jeep into the local dealer until March 11th to be examined. Such a joke for a $60K vehicle.

I purchased this car on 1/12/2022. It immediately began to have issues, first a coolant leak and then a check engine light. I have been told the check engine light is related to RFH codes for passive entry and Chrysler cannot provide a a date for the software update . I am forced to forced to drive a brand new vehicle with a check engine light on, not knowing if it’s safe. I feel this is unacceptable, I see many stories of the same vehicle just shutting down while driving.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle for more than 24 hours, the vehicle would not start up. The contact stated that the battery was constantly being drained. The contact was only able to start the vehicle in the morning after connecting a 1-amp charger to the battery. The contact stated that he contacted the dealer and it was suggested that the battery be replaced. The contact stated that the battery was replaced twice however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

I took my vehicle in for a recall on Saturday. I left with the auto start stop warning light on. They said the cable was fried and part was on back order, otherwise it was fully drivable. I started it for this first time since Saturday on Monday morning. I began to drive and the AEB immediately slammed on. Every warning light started to flash. Including the hazards. I had to unload my kids through the driver side, as the other doors wouldn’t open from inside or outside. The locks nor the windows would roll down. On the suspension it said to turn the engine on, however the engine was on.

-The new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L-Limited was made to be a third, row off-road, all weather driven vehicle. #1: The front windshield is flush with the front pillars. This causes accumulated snow or off-road dirt to easily be pushed to the driver side window (with no way to wash off) and blocking the driver’s side mirror. This makes it impossible to to use the blind spot light on the side mirror. In my case, I had audio alarm turned off as not to wake the kids while driving across the country. So I had a couple of near misses until I was able to stop, clean the driver’s window and turn the blind spot alarm back on. This is not a big deal if driving in clear rain, just not off-road or snow. It’s available for inspection whenever needed. -Our safety was placed at risk by creating a blind spot, making my driver’s side mirror and sensor obsolete. This created me nearly striking the cars beside me. -I just returned from the dealership(Puyallup-Larsen Jeep)an hour ago and the staff admitted it was a flaw. They actually recommend I go buy some aftermarket window lip, that does not exist. It was disgraceful to say the least for them to admit a flaw and suggest I fix it on my own, after having my car for 8 hours and it having 3500 miles on it. -No warning lights other than the blind spot sensors activating that I could be sure was activated or not. #2: The third row seat over heated the phone charging cord, causing light cabin smoke and burning a slight hole in the gym bag. My 7 y/o twins were woken up and advised me she think she smelled smoke. I figured it was nothing, it a brand new vehicle. She said “something is burning Dad”. I turned the cabin light on as my 14 y/o said she now smelled something in the second row. I saw a light fog and immediately pulled over, ran to the back and yanked out the cord out of the car. The cord was overheated to my touch. The cord had burned the plastic bag the Happy Meal toy was inside. Available for inspection whenever.

VEHICLE LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING SAFELY. When locking doors on the vehicle the doors are easily opened when you pull the handle while sitting in the vehicle. All doors will open which is very dangerous especially since my grandkids sit in the back and can open the doors while the vehicle is in motion. I have a video showing the doors locked and i am able to open the doors when the vehicle is driving down the road.

Vehicle was purchased last month. Grand Cherokee L Altitude. Has <1,400 miles. Check engine light came on. Warning for Electronic stabilizer system. Lost acceleration. Vehicle stalled once coming to a stop. And then once I turned it back on and tried to drive, the vehicle would not accelerate over 25mph. Reset then car drove fine. But then incident occurred again. Glitchy software or modules. This should not occur in a BRAND NEW vehicle. Unsafe.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the “Call SOS” feature failed and was nonfunctional.

PURCHASE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM DEALER; A WHISTLING NOISE IS AUDIBLE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER WINDOW. A RATTLING NOISE IS AUDIBLE FROM THE SUNROOF. AN ERROR MSG IS VISIBLE ON THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN REQUIRING SERVICE. THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING ENGAGED DRIVING ON A SHARP CURVE WITH NO VEHICLE IN VIEW CAUSING AN UNNECESSARY AND DANGEROUS BREAK EVENT. ALL ISSUES, EXCLUDING THE LAST REPORTED TO FCA DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF TIMES NEW VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION (30+ DAYS) WHEN PURCHASED BRAND NEW.

Sometimes when first started and other times while driving, the main touch screen dies and certain functionality is lost though the car is still drivable. Everything controlled by the touch screen stops (radio, cameras, heating/cooling) but blinkers do not work, front wipers turn on and can't be turned off, high beams turn on and off, and cruise control turns on and off. If this happens while driving, a message saying "SOS Call unavailable. Please visit an authorized dealer" pops up. If it happens when the engine is first started, nothing appears on the screen.

As I was driving the suv completely turnoff and would not let me turn it back on for a couple of seconds. Pulled into a parking lot and turned off again. This is very dangerous, and scary.

High Beam headlights don't work when the headlight switch is in AUTO mode. Problem has been confirmed with Bozak Motors in Merrillville and they advised that there is a bulletin out advising them not to attempt repair as engineers are working on issue. Further research on my own reveled that they have 3 other of the same vehicles on lot with same issue. Seems like a safety issue when driving at night down country roads

Two separate incidents, my Grand Cherokee L has less than 100 miles on it. I pulled into a drive thru restaurant and the vehicle completely shut off, still in drive mode. Then 5 minutes later I went to pull into a parking spot, I put the vehicle in park, then it shut off again.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 20-25 MPH, the GPS navigator screen inadvertently turned blank. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that he was able to continue to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the contact that the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who informed the contact that they could not assist because there was no software update for the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 31.

On 7/29/2021, approximately 2pm, driving on Front Hall Rd. leading to our home. Reduced speed to between 15/20 MPH in order to slow down and prepare to turn right into our driveway. Suddenly, the engine shutdown. I had no brakes or power steering. The car came to a stop on its own, since nothing was working. A sign on the computer screen can on stating to put the car in park and restart the car. About an hour later I got the car to service department at I-10 Jeep, Ram dodge in Indio CA.. Today I called to get an update on my car. They said, service was calling Chrysler about the problem. They also said, one of their manager was driving a new grand cherokee L mode like mine and he had same problem with the engine shutting down. They did a computer update on his car, but it continued with engine shut down on test driving it. They advised that a factory rep. would be at the dealership on August 2nd or 3rd to review the problem. This is a serious safety concern when the engine shuts down while moving. Luckily, I wasn't traveling at a higher speed in heavy traffic when the engine shut down occurred. My car has below 400 miles. I purchased the car on July 15, 2021.

Driving Jeep and engine stop, only had steering no brakes fortunately our speed was less than 10 miles per hr and we were in a parking lot. There is only about 770 miles on vehicle and we’ve owned the Jeep 3 weeks. Our concern is what would of happen if we were in heavy traffic, it was rush hour at the time? The dealer is picking up car tomorrow but that doesn’t fix our concerns!
