This Problem Across All Years
I purchased a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo earlier this year. The salesman told me that the fuel cover locks when the doors are locked, but the cover does not lock. I sent an email to Stallantis, the corporation to Jeep and inquired about this. They replied that all 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokees should have lock gas covers. (See uploaded file) I also tried to purchase a lock cap for my car, but I couldn't find one AND I LOOKED ALL OVER. A vehicle that does not have a locking mechanism to the gas tank leaves it vulnerable to vandalism. Substances can be inserted into the gas tank that could cause permanent damage to the engine. And since Stellantis indicated that all the these vehicles should have a locking gas mechanism, IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I am requesting that you instruct Jeep to have a recall on all of the vehicles that do not have locking gas cap mechanisms and have them installed. The "date this incident occurred" is the date of the vehicle purchase, February 11, 2025.

Vehicle: 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Anniversary Edition Lease Start: April 2025 Mileage: ~5,000 mi This vehicle has now been subject to two major battery-related safety recalls within the first year of lease: A “Stop Propulsion” recall that rendered the vehicle inoperable until a module replacement was performed. The current Recall 68C (battery fire risk) covering 2021-2026 Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles. According to Jeep and NHTSA, owners are advised to park outdoors and away from structures or other vehicles because the high-voltage battery could catch fire even when parked and turned off. There is no available remedy or timeline for a fix. This has created an ongoing safety risk to me and my family, along with substantial loss of use and financial burden under my lease. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate the scope and timeliness of Jeep/Stellantis’s corrective action and determine whether interim guidance or consumer relief is warranted for vehicles that cannot be safely used or stored.

I was driving down the rode going 30 miles per hour and my vehicle turned off. I lost all power.

When driving the vehicle, it appears to shift roughly and at times, it seems that there is no power to the vehicle.

While driving vehicle goes into limp mode I lose acceleration but RPMs on dashboard jump into the red zone and various warning lights show up I coast off to the side and put vehicle in park and shut off engine. When I restart everything clears and vehicle is normal again. This happened 3 times so far and dealer had the car 12 days and cannot duplicate the problem saying no codes show up show up on the scanner.

I was driving within a city and came to a red light. Since my car is a hybrid (2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, also I just purchased this lease in April 2025) the car will switch to the EV battery when I come to a halt and when I propel forward the car will either remain on the EV battery (if the battery has mile range) or it will switch to the engine. As the light turned green and i pushed the pedal to move forward, my car began to move forward using the EV battery but when the car attempted to switch to the engine, it tripped and my car would not move forward at all (this all occurred in the middle of traffic). I attempted to restart my car and my car would turn on but my engine would not start / my dash kept instructing to push the brake and hit the start button / also my dash displayed both engine and battery light / i was unable to shift my gears in any position. I attempted to restart my care multiple times over 40 minutes. I finally let my car sit completely turned off for 30-40 mins and attempted to restart one more time and it did start and I was able to drive it to a safe location. I contacted moped roadside assistance and i was given a 2-4 hour wait time for towing to the nearest dealership. In addition i was not within my hometown and was supposed to drive back to my hometown later that day. I ended up having a family member following me home. Thankfully i did not experience this issue on the drive home but i am nervous to drive the car, especially on the expressway.
