94b - 3rd complaint 14 Months with no fix. Car actively malfunctions since Jan 2025 e.g. disabled esc. Federally non complaint. Unsafe. It has now been a year since my vehicle started experiencing symptoms. FCA US LLC refuses to communicate with me. Took to dealer 12/16 and now the part is available after a year of nothing available and needs to be ordered supposedly. A month later and I have still not received an appt for the parts that should have come in. Againnlwaving me in a federally non compliant vehicle for a year. FCA has not contacted me “. I’ve called sent certified letters etc.

Nov 28, 2025

As a result of recall 94b and FCA US LLC’s failure to act/provide remedy for over 1 year. I am reporting an ongoing safety issue with my vehicle involving the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. Since January 2025, the vehicle has intermittently spun out, particularly in cold or wet conditions, creating a serious safety hazard. FCA acknowledged the defect but repeatedly stated no remedy was available. I attempted to bring the vehicle to dealerships, provided diagnostic scans and photos, sent multiple letters (including certified mail), and followed all escalation procedures. Despite this, FCA has denied a buyback, provided no safe alternative or loaner vehicle, and failed to respond to communications. Representatives have been inconsistent, unprofessional, and dismissive — including laughing during calls while I reported the defect and impending winter hazards. The defect remains unresolved, the vehicle is unsafe to operate, and FCA’s repeated denials and lack of communication prevent any path to a safe resolution. I am filing this complaint to document FCA’s mishandling and to request that NHTSA require them to take appropriate action. The full detailed summary and supporting documentation are attached.

Nov 11, 2025

FCA US has failed to make parts available to remedy NHTSA recall 24V-838 in over 12 months.

Nov 7, 2025

serious safety defect that has remains unremedied since recall Z48 (FCA 22V‑426) issued in 2022. This defect, addressed again in recall 94B (FCA 24V‑838), continues to disable the electronic stability control, making the vehicle unsafe to operate. FCA has had considerable time for the opportunity to fix since the first recall, and defective conditions were not repaired and still exist. FCA has been very dismissive with the several complaints I’ve field. I’ve been promised call backs every step of the way, even specific time frames and still have had to chase them down when I am not responded to. FCA issued “do not sell” orders on November 14, 2024, preventing me from trading or selling the vehicle without significant financial loss. I cannot accept any further proposed fixes, since no effective repair exists, and the vehicle remains dangerous.

Nov 5, 2025

I am reporting a serious safety failure related to the ABS/ESC recall on my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Parts have not been available for over a year, and my vehicle has now experienced the dangerous conditions described in the recall. Before the failure, while stopped at a red light in Drive with my foot firmly on the brake, the vehicle suddenly rolled backward on its own. I had to forcefully press the brake to stop it. This should never happen and indicates brake system failure. About 10 minutes later, while driving on the highway, the vehicle experienced a sudden safety system failure. Multiple warning lights came on (ABS, ESC, brake system, check engine), the accelerator pedal became unresponsive, a burning smell came from the vehicle, and I temporarily lost control. I could not pull over immediately due to traffic, which created a very dangerous situation. The vehicle eventually became undriveable and required towing. I am thankful my children were not in the car. This is an extreme safety hazard. Stellantis still has no parts available and has not provided a repair or transportation option. This forces owners to choose between parking their vehicle indefinitely or driving a known unsafe vehicle. I request NHTSA review the lack of parts and enforcement of this recall, as it is putting families at risk.

Recall 94B has been outstanding for a year now. I feel this is an unreasonable amount of time.

Vehicle reverse camera will stay on while driving. Leak in gasket. Leak in right mount. Radiator issue undiagnosed. Car is available for inspection at anytime as it is currently inoperable and I do not have the thousands of dollars to fix what is wrong with it while it only has 53k miles and licensed repair shop (not dealership as I was told by tech there to get initial issues fixed outside for a lower cost - all repair and service records also available) has advised faulty parts as listed above. Forgive me, I am not a car person so I do not know what exact things, but can provide. Have been on the phone all morning with FCA, manufacturing, and back and forth until this information was received. I have pulled a recall list by VIN and found that some issues with my Jeep are on there; however, apparently my specific VIN is not associated with the recalls listed (can provide report), I am responsible for repairs. Only warning lamp I have received was for a "cylinder 1 misfire" that was diagnosed at Jeep of Fontana in CA, where I was told to take it elsewhere. Now, after having a tuneup last week, I started my Jeep on Sunday and it began smoking. Was told at local shop, Mountain View Tire in Rialto/Fontana, they cannot fix. Please assist!

The Uconnect System on the vehicle has a delamination issue on the screen. I took the vehicle to the authorized dealer and they said it was a known issue. I tried contacting the manufacturer and they offered a 60% cost assistance since the vehicle is out of warranty. I researched the issue on the internet and found multiple people have similar concerns with the Uconnect System. Some reported that the screen stops to respond to touch which means a driver can struggle to turn on/off heated or cooled seats, heated steering as there are no physical switches to operate those features, to name a few and can cause distraction while driving. If the seat heat is on and one wants to turn it off once the seat is warm enough, they cannot. My vehicle has delamination on the three sides of the screen. It started on the one corner and gradually spread to the other edges. I can see that one day it will cover the entire screen rendering the system to be unusable.

Sep 3, 2025

If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. We are approaching the one year mark and this is causing me great concern.

Aug 28, 2025

I am filing a complaint regarding a serious and widespread defect in the Uconnect 8.4 infotainment system installed in my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and many other FCA/Stellantis vehicles. The screen has developed a delamination issue that worsens over time. Symptoms include glue dripping from the edges of the screen, “ghost taps” where the system responds without being touched, and unresponsive or inaccurate touch inputs. This is not a cosmetic defect. The infotainment system controls multiple functions beyond entertainment, including navigation, Bluetooth phone connectivity, climate control, backup camera, and access to vehicle settings. Malfunctions cause driver distraction and interfere with safe vehicle operation, which could easily lead to an accident. When I contacted Jeep/Chrysler Customer Care, I was informed this is a known issue. My research confirmed that FCA/Stellantis has issued an internal service bulletin acknowledging the defect, but they refuse to issue a formal recall. This appears to be a deliberate decision to avoid the significant cost of replacing defective units across multiple models, leaving many unsafe vehicles on the road. This problem is widespread and well-documented among owners. It is unacceptable that Stellantis treats it only as a service bulletin issue when the defect directly affects safety. Drivers must be able to rely on the infotainment system to respond correctly, especially since it integrates with systems used while driving. A delaminated screen dripping glue and producing ghost inputs is a hazard, not a minor inconvenience. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this defect and require FCA/Stellantis to take responsibility through a formal recall and replacement program to protect the safety of drivers, passengers, and the public.

Chrome is peeling along perimeter of cup holder, and is razor sharp. While attempting to clean, sliced 2 fingers tips. This could be extremely dangerous to little children.

The uconnect touchscreen had bubbling in upper left corner within the first year of being brand new. I didn't know at that time that it would lead to complete failure of the uconnect system which includes: the handsfree safety controls on steering wheel not functioning so no handsfree phone calls or messaging etc, black and unresponsive touchscreen, no navigation because screen and sound doesn't work, no function in usb ports connected to uconnect system, no audible alerts (or any sounds) from speakers for collision warning or radio etc just ZERO sounds, no back up camera because the screen doesn't work, no uconnectivity from mirror in case of collision. OH AND THE MYSTERIOUS GLOBS OF CLEAR ADHESIVE GLUE DRIPPING BELOW THE SCREEN more specifically dripping below the control knobs that are below the screen right into my center compartment where the USB ports are located! This is a known issue caused by a manufacturing defect with the glue used by Jeep to bond the layers of the screen. it should absolutely be a recall covered by Jeep! My warranty has expired so no luck for me unless uconnect covers it. Fingers. crossed on that. I checked fuses all good, did a soft reset that brought back charging ability in usb ports and the screen turned a dark blue instead of black but wtill no function, and did a hard reset by disconnecting my battery cable for 1/2 hr. Nothing worked. I was told it would cost over $2000 not including labor if the uconnect system needs to be replaced. My jeep only has 12500 miles on it. Its keep in a carport with a cover and very well maintanined. This is absolutley a safety issue! So dissapointed as this will potentially be the 2nd expensive issue with my jeep coming out of the pocket with such low mileage. Still waiting on reimbursment from last recall 94B which still has no remedy available and therefore cant get approved for reimbursment. That was over $3k to fix! Please take better care of your loyal customers Jeep!

The screen is delaminating. It will on its own changes settings, stations, etc. Dealership confirmed ongoing issue with these radio screens. It could disable SOS features and vehicle information, such as; fluid temps, suspension angles, and other necessities needed for safety and proper operation. Warning lights will also show up in the dash due to safety items potentially being disabled due to screen changing things by itself.

May 30, 2025

In the cold weather, usually under 40degrees, sensors come on alerting me that stablisation is disabled, auto start/stop is disabled, check engine light comes on, parking brake illuminates and does not turn off while driving, cruise control does not work, radio information cluster intermittently works etc. It's seems to be all electrical. I have taken it to the dealership several times and they can't figure out what the issue is. At first they said the auxiliary battery was bad and I paid over $400 for a new battery and still have the same issues.

May 19, 2025

The ABS module and ESC system malfunctioned. A message stating “Service Electronic Stability Control” appeared on the dashboard. The component is still installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. The ESC warning indicates that the system may be disabled, which could compromise the vehicle’s stability and braking performance—especially in emergency or poor weather conditions. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle, as the malfunction may affect the ability to stop or control the vehicle properly, increasing the risk of an accident. I contacted the dealership and an independent mechanic and they confirmed the issue is related to Recall Z48. However, they also stated that no repair or remedy is currently available. The “Service Electronic Stability Control” message appeared on the dashboard. This was the first noticeable symptom, and it started about 2-3 years ago. Also, my check engine light is on all the time. I cannot remote start. I few times, I’ve had issues with the brakes and my jeep not starting.

Apr 17, 2025

I am experiencing a delamination issue with the Uconnect screen in my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude. I noticed this issue years ago when my car was still under warranty but thought it was a protective film on the Uconnect screen. Now, the Uconnect screen in my vehicle randomly turns off while driving which is a serious safety issue, especially when using the navigation system. This is a well-documented problem affecting many owners which typically manifests as bubbling or peeling of the screen's surface, leading to erratic touchscreen behavior such as phantom inputs, random changes in settings, or complete unresponsiveness. The root cause of the delamination appears to be the degradation of the "LOCA" adhesive between the screen's layers, often exacerbated by heat. This degradation can lead to the separation of the screen layers, resulting in the aforementioned symptoms. The problem affects various Uconnect systems, notably the 8.4" Uconnect 4C UAQ and 4C NAV units. I have had this issue diagnosed and confirmed by Huntington Beach Chysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Huntington Beach, CA.

Mar 29, 2025 Crash

A arm broke while I was driving causing me to hit a pole. Service stability control and abs light came on in dash right before I crashed. Garage where vehicle is located said it was the an arm that caused me to crash. Had taken it to 2 different dealerships both said they could find nothing wrong prior to accident. Jeep has 88,000 miles on it. This is unacceptable I'm Just glad one of my children was not driving at this time. Also my air bags did not deploy!

Mar 18, 2025

I took my vehicle on a road trip- it ran fine and I did not have any warnings or indications of a problem. When I stopped at my hotel room, the vehicle was fine. I went out to start it the next morning and I was met by a vehicle that would not attempt to start. It came up with a check engine light, e brake light, ABS error and a couple of other lights/error messages. I had to have the vehicle towed to a local shop where they informed me that this was associated with recall 94B. This recall was posted over six months ago and there is still no fix available. My vehicle will not start or run, and is not safe to drive even if I could get it to start. I am being told that it is impossible to fix until the manufacturer releases a repair option. I had to pay not only to have my vehicle towed and inspected by the first shop, but also I had to pay for it to be towed all the way back home (because I was on vacation when this happened) and it is now at a second shop who has confirmed the diagnosis and that no repair is available. This is my primary source of transportation for myself and my children, and I am being told that six months ago this issue was acknowledged by the manufacturer, but they have not fixed it. I contacted the support line for the manufacturer and was transferred six times, and then I was ultimately told that a supervisor would call me back with a solution, but that hasn’t happened yet. I asked if I should have my vehicle towed again to get it to the dealership for repairs and if they could offer me a loaner vehicle and the representative said she couldn’t advise me on that and I had to wait to hear back from a supervisor. I need them to either make a fix available or provide me a loaner or replacement vehicle if they are unable to resolve the problem. I purchased this vehicle in good faith.

Feb 27, 2025

I am writing to formally express my frustration and deep concern regarding Recall 94B, which affects my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude and currently has no available remedy. This recall, as confirmed by Fox Chrysler Jeep in Southfield, MI, directly impacts critical safety features, including the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and other key functions essential for the safe operation of my vehicle. Given the severity of this issue—especially during Michigan’s harsh winter months—I find it unacceptable that no resolution is currently available. Fox Chrysler Jeep has verified that all warning lights on my dashboard are related to this recall, yet they have informed me there is nothing they can do at this time. As a loyal Jeep owner, I am extremely disappointed that Stellantis has not yet provided a solution to an issue that directly compromises my safety and that of others on the road. Given the circumstances, I am requesting immediate assistance from Stellantis to explore options for getting out of my current vehicle and into a new or used vehicle that is not subject to such serious, unresolved recalls. I cannot continue to drive a vehicle that poses such a significant safety risk, and I believe Stellantis has a responsibility to provide a viable alternative for affected customers.

While ideling at a stop light the vehicle RPMs drop low and the engine shuts off. This has occurred multiple times, 4-5 times over 6 months. When this happens the dash displays "vehicle requires restart" This happens in traffic and has left me as a stalled vehicle and a hazard to others.

Jan 14, 2025

My car is saying to service my Electeonic stability control. It is making weird noises when I back up. It’s skidding when starting off from a complete stop. This is absolutely putting my safety at risk. And I am afraid to drive the vehicle to my job. With the ESC not working driving this is putting me at risk. And if there is no fix “yet” what am I supposed to do? The vehcile was also shaking when I was going up a curved on ramp to get on the highway probably 35-40 mph?

Dec 11, 2024

The UConnect screen is delaminating. This is a known issue for this year/make/model. Jeep has a history of repairing this under warranty. Despite my vehicle falling within their guidelines for a no-cost repair, they have denied my request. This is a safety issue because as the screen delaminates, it (from what I understand from other Grand Cherokee owners) becomes non-functional. This means the backup camera and critical vehicle controls and settings can be come unusable while the vehicle is in use. I have requested that Jeep repair this under warranty as has been done for many other Grand Cherokee owners (based on my own research).

uconnect display has air bubbles forming on top left and top right corners. Both bubbles run down the side of the display.

2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee; Manufacture Date October 2018 Vehicle engine off and vehicle in park in the driveway. Came out to the car to get something out of it and found that the passenger side active headrest safety feature had deployed. My car was not involved any type of collision - nothing has hit my car. It just popped out all on its own when no one was in the car and the vehicle wasn’t even turned on. I have seen SEVERAL reports on this problem, and Jeep agreed to extend the warranty on this problem indefinitely but only on year models up to 2018. My vehicle was manufactured in 2018 but the dealer says my vehicle VIN is not included for this warranty. That’s ridiculous! The same exact problem has occurred to my headrest that they cover for everyone else but not my vehicle. Same problem, made in the same year as the other vehicles were made but mine not covered because the vehicle is labeled as a 2019 design. Also, the faulty part is also made of plastic!!

Sep 22, 2024

JEEP grand Cherokee’s are know for their faulty transmissions, I just bought a 2019 jeep grand Cherokee from the dealer and it has a faulty transmission. I’ve research and found out that other owners have same issues. This issues cause the car to jerk forward going from 2nd to 1st gear. This can be an issue because the jerk is strong and can cause an accident when stopping. Please help us out with this issue as it is a safety concern. Thank you!

Aug 23, 2024

The touchscreen in the car which has controls for the radio, navigation, phone and other features in delaminating and causing the screen to change buttons, features while driving. The screen gets stuck or shuts off while driving causing a safety issue while driving.

Aug 18, 2024

The radio screen starting developing bubbles on each side. After speaking to several dealers by phone they are telling me this is very common with this yr vehicle that the screen is delaminating and Jeep will not cover this. For my concern how and who do I contact? Beings this system controls the heated seats is this eventually at some point going to stop working? Each time I turn on these seats I am concerned the heat will not shut off and if traveling a distance I do not want to get burnt. Could you please help/assist as I do have a friend that was burnt from a heated car seat. Thank you.

Jul 31, 2024

The screen on my information center is delaminating. Took the vehicle to the dealership for extended warranty service and was told this was not covered under warranty. When this is a known issue not sure why the manufacture is not covering this claim.

Jul 24, 2024

I received a letter in the mail that my Jeep had a recall for some type of sensor that affects the brakes and brake lights. I’ve read that a malfunction in this sensor can cause my brake to not work and can cause me to crash into someone or something. The fact that this issue hasn’t been resolved yet is beyond me. This recall came out in 2022. It had been 2 years. What’s going happen when a mother is driving her family around in her Jeep that also has this recall on it, she switched the brake on but it doesn’t brake and she and her family crash into someone. Life’s are at risk here. I am planning to start a family within the next year and I will be getting rid of this car because I will not trust my family in it.

May 6, 2024

My display screen is glitchy. Sometimes it does not show The back up camera. Other times even while driving down the road it shows my back up camera when I’m traveling forward.

Apr 30, 2024

The touch screen dash display has become delaminated and sometimes does not turn on when the vehicle is shifted in reverse. Thus, it's difficult to see if a child or pedestrian is behind the vehicle when placed in reverse on the dash screen. This poses a serious Safety issue and I have read on several forms that this occurs just after 3-4 years of use and is a common problem.

Feb 10, 2024

Uconnect screen with radio/nav/driver controls is delaminating, causing screens to change and overriding all driver selections. Safety issue. Multiple complaints on Jeep forum and class action lawsuit in 2022 which has been closed due to overwhelming number of complaints. It’s a well known issue with FCA but they refuse to issue recall. Backup camera freezing and hand free difficult to use. Distracting and unsafe. FCA NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL!

Dec 12, 2023

The radio screen is deplaning

Nov 8, 2023

Uconnect Screen delaminated causing the screen and radio to go bad. I have no phone connectivity, no radio, no use of navigation or climate control.

Jul 27, 2023

The u connect screen laminating is bubbling, causing blurry screen and effects all vehicle's controls while driving. Read about this being a common problem with these screens but not yet warranted by Jeep. Seems to be getting worse and can cause major distractions while driving, especially while using GPS. Vehicle hasn't been inspected as of yet. Just mainly inquiring about any others having same issues being reported.

Jul 26, 2023

The radio in the car, which controls the whole car, started dialing people out of the blue, over and over again. I finally had to pull over and disconnect my phone from the system. This could have called an accident as the repeated dialing caused me to take my eyes and concentration off of the road. No doubt I was a distracted driver at this time - due to what they call "system bubble". Jeep/Stellantis knows of the problem but they refuse to correct this problem that causes drivers to become distracted. They need to fix the problem ASAP before someone gets killed on count of this. Further more, I now have to take my eyes from the road to my phone because I can't use the system to use the handsfree system. This is a violation of the State of Alabama law. We can no longer have our phones in our hands, while driving a car.

Jul 17, 2023

While driving, my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo began smelling like burnt plastic, then a red warning triangle came on in the speedometer saying, ‘stop safely vehicle shut off soon’. At the same time, the engine warning light, battery warning light, and skid warning lights came on. I pulled over and when the car was examined the red plastic housing around the terminal that can be used to jumpstart the battery had melted. The vehicle is being towed to the dealer for a repair.

Jun 2, 2023

Radio/screen delimitation. Known issue by Jeep for years now; obvious safety issue, when the screen starts doing phantom touches it is very distracting to the driver. Also, as the glue melts, it leaks onto the wiring of all the components under the screen including the AC, all the parking sensor and traction control off controls. Phantom phone calls/cannot turn on/off heat. Radio does not just power “ radio”. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

Apr 7, 2023

The driver's side door lock will no longer operate using the key fob, lock/unlock button inside, or automatically lock when driving. It will only operate to unlock when the handle is pulled. It is available for inspection. It is a safety hazard due to not having a locked door when parked or when driving. The problem has been confirmed by CLJ in Justice. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance. There are no warning lamps or messages.

Mar 25, 2023

Experiencing transmission problems. Vehicle stuck in third gear - safety mainly at highways - can coase crash. and/or make harsh jerks at reverse gear - very dangerous. Confirmed by local Central Jeep Garage. Warning lamps first appear at June 2022, problem appeared at winter 2022 (Jan-Apr. 2022).

Mar 19, 2023

Yesterday, March 18, 2023, the sunroof in our 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee exploded while we were driving on the highway. The weather was sunny and mild (52 degrees.) We were driving in an open area (no trees) and we were not close behind a truck or other vehicle. The explosion was extremely loud and terrifying. We initially thought we'd been shot at. The driver (my husband), myself (in the passenger seat) and our dog (in the back seat) were showered with broken glass. The remainder of the glass blew out towards the car traveling behind us. We are fortunate that my husband was able to keep calm and get us safely off of the highway without further incident. As this occurred around 5pm on a Saturday, we will report this issue to our insurance and local Jeep dealership on Monday, March 20. There were no warnings or indication of an issue with the sunroof prior to this incident.

Nov 28, 2022

In June 2022, Recall Z48/NHTSA 22V-426 was announced. The recall impacts the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland we purchased in September 2022. At the time of purchase, a remedy for the recall was anticipated "soon" and "in a timely manner," according to both the manufacturer and dealership. Nearly 6 months since the recall was announced, there is no remedy. Our business prohibits use of any vehicle with an open recall. Efforts to use the vehicle for other purposes, including rental services (such as Turo, among others) have failed due to the open recall. We have incurred significant financial loss of income as a direct result. The manufacturer refuses to offer a replacement vehicle, refuses return and will not compensate for losses incurred. The manufacturer and dealership both confirm there is "no remedy expected in the immediate future". The vehicle is financed through the dealership, and ongoing payments are expected from the finance company, even as we cannot use the vehicle for its primary purpose. A remedy has not been provided as required "in a timely manner," and the manufacturer's refusal to compensate or accept a return of the vehicle egregious.

Nov 27, 2022

Backup camera sometimes stays on after shifting out of reverse and it takes many tries to turn off. It also sometimes comes on randomly while driving and won’t turn off right away.

Nov 21, 2022

Recall (22V-426) is now 6months old with no solution. Is car really safe to drive? Cannot sell it. Isn't 6 months too long?

Ublock radio information center screen delaminating leading to eventual failure

Nov 16, 2022

Power rear liftgate top attachment stud holding the power drive to the body of the vehicle sheared off, causing the very heavy liftgate to come crashing down. Fortunately I was able to jump back. The liftgate probably weighs about 150 pounds. It seem that a small 1/4" stud that holding this in place is not adequate for the load. There does seem to be some Internet discussion of this happening to others. This vehicle only has 40,000 miles on it.

uconnect gps not showing correct location uconnect screen delamination

Oct 7, 2022

The u connect screen is delaminating! I’m afraid some features may stop working.

Sep 28, 2022

The infotainment screen is faulty, it is delaminating and causing a lot of distracting and dangerous driving issues: - Rear camera and warnings do not work correctly - Screen flickers, and changes screen which is very distracting while driving. - Screen will randomly turn on or off and change settings. It has been ongoing since December 2021, I took it to the dealer who told me it was just a software issue and it would update and fix it. It never did. I took it back (now out of warranty) told me they would fix it and ordered the part. After trying to contact them, 6 weeks later, they are now refusing to fix it. Jeep are telling me the same thing.

Sep 2, 2022

The ignition mechanism of my vehicle. The push to start. I was driving and the push to start mechanism just fell inside its housing. I've never seen anything like this. Luckily, I wasn't driving very fast. I was able to slow down and park. However, I could not turn the car off. I had to get out of the car and try to find the ignition button which had apparently fallen out of the housing. After feeling around through a hole underneath the steering wheel i was able to feel the ignition in order to turn it off.

Jun 5, 2022

After getting new tires my vehicle becan to have issues shifting at times mimicking a stall or stutter at times. I didn’t not having any vehicle warning lights. Because of new models of Jeeps that have an “automatic”’ feature that can not be adjusted manually. I took the vehicle in for service to the local Jeep Dealership. Upon their running diagnostics they determined a needed a new Driveshaft because the vehicle was istuck in low drive. This is a design and safety flaw

May 26, 2022

Radio screen is De-Laminating (glue failing) and randomly makes calls and mutes calls for hands free. Changes my A/C settings and such. This is a safety issue when I am driving because people are distracted enough that I don’t need to worry about the radio messing up. Not a recall yet but so many people have had issues with this part.

Mar 29, 2022

I have a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk currently around 33,500 miles. I bought this vehicle new and have been having issues with it since I got it. I hear electrical crackling and popping throughout the cabin, mostly in the dashboard. I thought at first it was the adaptive cruise or forward braking system engaging, but the sound seems to be completely random. A common symptom is the speakers, microphones, and speaker-based safety alerts are completely cut out. If I'm on a call, the person on the other end will not be able to hear me until the speakers come back. Some of the systems that do not work as intended include: -- Radio/SiriusXM/Apple Carplay/Android Auto (No sound) -- Uconnect Voice Command (No Sound/Mic) -- Parking sensors (no proximity alerts) -- USB Ports (slow charge and do not recognize phones) -- Forward Collison Alerts (No Sound) -- Navigation Alerts (No Sound) -- Blind Spot Alerts (No Sound) I've tried the system with the following phones (with OEM and high-quality aftermarket wires) on AT&T, Verizon, Mint: -- iPhone XS -- iPhone 12 -- iPhone 13 Pro Max -- Samsung Galaxy Note 8 -- Samsung Galaxy Note 20 -- Samsung Galaxy Note 22 -- Samsung Z Flip My Jeep has the Panasonic Uconnect system. I've attached pictures of the type & IMEI etc. This issue causes a direct safety concern when an alert doesn't activate or a when the loud electronic distortion comes through the speakers that will cannot be turned off—causing me to have to pull over and turn the car off for the sake of my hearing.

I was driving my 10 year old son to school. We hopped in our Jeep in the garage. Pushed the start button and my son smelled something that was burning. I backed out of the driveway and then my son said there is smoke coming out of the center counsel. I pulled over and looked in the counsel and saw a fire. Ran to the house and got a fire extinguisher to put it out. Fire was out out for a short time, but then burst into an all out fire. The car burnt to the ground. Nothing remained. So far the insurance company and Chrysler cannot pinpoint what caused the fire. It is a total loss and the damage was too extensive to determine the cause. My son and I are very lucky we got out of the vehicle in time and everyone was safe. The vehicle was a lease and had only been serviced for oil changes by our Chrysler dealer. No alarms or visual indicators forewarned us that anything like this was going to happen. The vehicle is a total loss and we don't know why it caught on fire. Chrysler denies any form of responsibility. Just looking for answers and hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

THE DISPLAY/ELECTRONIC SYSTEM APPEARED TO BE HIJACKED DURING MY COMMUTE TO WORK. THE HACKER BEGAN BY CHANGING THE RADIO FROM SIRIUS XM TO AN AM STATION, THEN BEGAN CHANGING SETTINGS (CLIMATE CONTROL OF SEATS), VIEWED CONNECTED DEVICES (USB, MEDIA ETC.), THEN SWITCHED TO VIEW THE REAR VIEW CAMERA, VIEWED THE COMPASS, VIEWED PHONE SETTINGS AND DIALED THE LAST NUMBER DIALED FROM MY PHONE. THE HACKER KEPT GOING BACK TO SETTINGS, REAR VIEW CAMERA, RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AND CONTINUED EVEN AFTER I HAD STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED MY CELL PHONE OFF. I LEFT MY PHONE OFF UNTIL I ARRIVED AT WORK AND THE HACKER WAS STILL MESSING WITH SETTINGS AND RADIO. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND OPENED THE DOOR TO DROP THE DISPLAY AND ALL ELECTRONIC AUXILIARY POWER.

THE AC DOES NOT STAY COLD. IT CYCLES FROM COLD TO LIKE WARM AND HUMID SEVERAL TIMES PER MINUTE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY HAVE DRAINED AND RECHARGED THE AC TO NO AVAIL. THEY HAVE TOLD ME OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME THING IN THE 2019S. IT HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT NO FIX HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD, AT 30MPH, IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STALLED OUT. POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, ENGINE WAS DEAD, IT SAID ON DASH TO "SHIFT INTO PARK". I MANAGED TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. PUT IT IN PARK. TURNED IT OFF, THEN ATTEMPTED TO RESTART, IT WOULDN'T START (SOUNDED LIKE ENGINE TRYING, THEN NOT TURNING OVER. I THEN TURNED IT OFF AGAIN, AND TRIED, AND IT TURNED ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME, BUT A CAR SHOULDN'T STALL WHILE DRIVING AT 30MPH DOWN A ROAD.

SO FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, IT WILL 'SPIT' WHEN IT'S IN GEAR. LIKE I'LL PUSH ON THE GAS AND IT WILL GO BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL AND THEN GO AGAIN. IT STOPPED DOING THAT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT TODAY I WAS REVERSING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT SAID 'SHIFT TO P BEFORE PUTTING IN GEAR' (KEEP IN MIND THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE). AND THE CAR WAS 'SPITTING' AS I WAS IN REVERSE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS COMPLETELY IN THE REVERSE GEAR AND IT WAS. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN REVERSE AND IT WAS FINE AFTER THAT. BUT I SAW THIS POST ON FACEBOOK NOT LONG AGO, A WOMEN HAD I BELIEVE A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE, SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HER CAR POPPED UP A NOTIFICATION 'SHIFT TO P'. RIGHT AFTER THAT HER CAR AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED AND SHE WRECKED. MY CAR SAID THE SAME THING TO ME THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE. THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AS OF NOW, AND I AM SCARED FOR MINE AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE JEEP SWITCHED TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN AND FLASHED "SHIFT TO PARK" ON THE SCREEN. I HAD TO ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE KIDS. IF THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY WE WILL BE HURT.

HELLO. I HAVE FOUND MANY ISSUES WITH MY UCONNECT SYSTEM AND WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED (HACKED). I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO JEEP AND THE SIRIUS/CM SYSTEM. 1 OCCASION MY SOS/ASSIST FEATURE WAS DEACTIVATED WHILE I WAS IN THE CAR. ANOTHER TIME LIGHT CHANGED FROM RED TO GREEN ON ANOTHER OCCASION WITHOUT TOUCHING IT. 2 SYSTEM WAS RESET AND SHOWING PHONES BEING CONNECTED THAT HAD BEEN TOTALLY REMOVED FROM UCONNECT SYSTEM. 3 ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASION MY UCONNECT LINKS/APPS WERE NOT LOADED... TOTALLY DISAPPEARED AFTER BEING THERE AND CAR WAS ON FOR MORE THEN AN HOUR. 4 SETTINGS BUTTON/ OPTION TO ADJUST IMPORTANT INFORMATION SOMETIMES NOT ON SCREEN. 5 MAP NAVIGATION GIVING MISDIRECTION AND HAD ME DRIVING IN CIRCLES BACK TO MY STARTING POINT. 6 SCREEN FREEZING AND NOT ALLOWING ME TO DISCONNECT PHONE/CHANGE SCREENS...ALSO HAD ISSUES WHERE MY SCREENS WOULD JUMP FROM ONE THING TO THE NEXT WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING. DO NOT KNOW IF MY UCONNECT WAS ACCESSED DURING THE TIME PERIOD MY PHONE WAS HACKED INTO AND I HOOKED IT UP THROUGH CARPLAY OR IF A "LOCK LINK " WAS USED. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH BECAUSE I THOUGHT ALL THESE WERE ODD AND IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR "LOW LIFES" TO GET INTO THESE COMPUTER SYSTEMS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PHONE COMPANY, JEEP FCA CASE MANAGEMENT, APPLE ON THE ISSUES OF MY HACKED PHONE AND UCONNECT SYSTEM.

THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM HAS A WEATHER ALERT NOTIFICATION THAT CAN'T BE DISABLED. IT TAKES UP THE ENTIRE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN AND DOES NOT GO AWAY UNLESS I TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO CLICK ON IT TO CLOSE THE WINDOW. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY IN MY JEEP WITH A WIND ADVISORY. PRETTY ABSURD NOTIFICATION ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. I LIVE ON THE WEST COATS AND UNDERSTAND IT CAN BE WINDY. SUPER DANGEROUS TO CONSTANTLY POP UP AND MAKE ME CLOSE IT MANUALLY.

AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE TO BEGIN TURNING, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STARTED FLASHING WARNGING LIGHTS AND CYCLING THROUGH SEVERAL WARNINGS LIKE FCW INDICATOR DISABLED. THE CAR ALSO TOLD ME THE LANE DEPARTURE SENSOR WAS TURNED OFF AS WELL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO FLASH THESE LIGHTS AND CYCLE THROUGH MULTIPLE OTHER WARNINGS AND REFUSED TO SHUT OFF. AT ONE POINT THE CAR EVEN TURNED ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES BY ITSELF.

DUE TO ISSUES WITH RADIO'S CORE SOFTWARE, THE DISPLAY OF THE CAR WHICH CONTROL ALL VITAL FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR INCLUDING TEMPERATURE CONTROL GOES INACCESSIBLE WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT IS ACCESSIBLE ONLY WHEN CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SOFTWARE IS ALLOWED TO REBOOT WHICH TAKES MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. THIS IS SO AGAINST THE SAFETY BECAUSE THE MAIN CORE CONTROLLING UNIT OF THE CAR IS OF NO USE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS NO DEFINITE SOLUTION AND ANSWER BY THE DEALERSHIP, SERVICE BRANCH, UNCONNECT CUSTOMER CARE AND STAR TICKET SYSTEM. THE CAR GOT INTO THIS ISSUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF LEASING IT AND IS A BRAND NEW 2019 MODEL.
