Saturday night, [XXX], my family went out to dinner and took my elderly father ([XXX]), who sits in the front seat when we go out together. Upon returning to his home, he got out, and we drove back to our home, approximately 2 minutes away. My husband parked the car, turned off the engine and while we were exiting the vehicle, the now empty passenger seat headrest popped open with a loud bang. Had my father still been sitting there, he would have been injured. I contacted customer care this morning with my concerns and was told that although they are aware of the problem, there was nothing they could do about the repair as the extended warranty period had ended. I had no notification of such an issue or related warranty as I purchased the vehicle in July of 2022. The warranty period was still active at the time of purchase.

The airbag warning lamp is illuminated on the dashboard of my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Limited 4WD, 3.6L V6). A Jeep dealer (Lee Dodge, Westbrook, Maine) diagnosed the problem as fault code B0020-13, a driver-side frontal airbag squib circuit fault, and stated that the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in a crash. The dealer quoted $3,442.35 for the repair and denied goodwill coverage. I opened a case with Jeep corporate on October 8, 2026 (case number [XXX], case manager Kenneth) and sent follow-up emails on October 10, 12, and 14, and left multiple voicemails; Jeep corporate has not responded. No crash, fire, injury, or fatality has occurred. This is a report of a safety defect, and the manufacturer has been unresponsive. Approximate vehicle mileage: 42,000.

The dealer and Corporate Partner are refusing to perform the federally mandated Z46 safety recall (NHTSA 22V406) on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee until they replace the supply line for a $1000, because they said it rotted/rusted. This factory supply line is made of nylon plastic and cannot rust. I suggest it blew out as part of a failing HPFP covered under the recall, and they misdiagnosed it. Furthermore, the technician and service advisor stated that they had not checked for any metal as part of the recall. I have asked for legal documentation for the estimate of parts and labor for the replacement of said supply line and have not received it.

Dealer illegally refused to complete recall repairs. Lakeshore Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat located at 330 E Howze Beach Rd Slidell, LA 70461 refused to complete recall repairs for manufacturer recall 66A, NHTSA recall number 23V-411. While traveling for work out of state the vehicle suddenly died and would not start due to the loss of signal for the crankshaft position sensor. this happened late on [XXX] and transportation could not be arranged until Friday. The vehicle was trailered and brought from Texas to the Slidell dealership on Monday June 9 2025. The service department informed us they did not do recall repairs on the EcoDiesels unless they had sold it to us directly. They said this was because it takes too long to do the repairs and customers get upset over the wait and that they did not want to loan vehicles for extended periods of time not knowing how long it would take to complete the work if parts were back ordered. We had to have the repairs completed at an independent repair shop and paid out of pocket for the repairs and the transport of the vehicle from Texas to Slidell, Louisiana where we reside.

I am reporting a serious safety concern involving the transmission/power train of my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited, VIN [XXX], with fewer than 80,000 miles. The transmission failed suddenly when I was approximately one minute away from entering a highway. The vehicle became inoperable and left me stranded in an isolated area with little or no cellular reception, and I had to find assistance. Had the transmission failed one minute later while I was traveling at highway speed, I could have been seriously injured or killed. I could have died because of this failure. Or I could've killed or injured someone else on the road. There were no meaningful warning lamps, dashboard messages, or other advance warnings that alerted me that a complete transmission failure was imminent. The transmission failure was confirmed through the repair process by the service facility that repaired the vehicle. The transmission has already been repaired, and I have repair invoices, diagnostic records, and service documentation available upon request. I was without my vehicle for nearly one month while the issue was being addressed. The vehicle has not, to my knowledge, been inspected by Jeep/Stellantis in connection with this safety complaint. I contacted Jeep Customer Care and specifically reported this as a safety concern, but I was told that a claim could not be opened or assigned to a case manager because the vehicle is no longer under warranty.

This happen in a moment's time with no time to react, distance from acceleration to impact with electrical pole approximately 12 feet. No passengers, the driver received contusions and abraisions. 911 was called, local city police responded & report written, Ambulance called to assist injured driver, tow truck transported Jeep to requested Body Shop, Insurance company notified. Jeep released from Body Shop transported by Insurance Company for Inspection. Had the accleration not stopped due to collision with power pole the vehicle would have entered and crossed a 5 lane main street against traffic directions at a stoplight which could have resulted in many collisions and injuries to other motorists. Insurance company has totaled the vehicle and unknown if inspection(s) have been completed by all interested parties. Owner/Driver has not been notified of any further inspection results.

While maneuvering in a parking garage and switching between reverse and forward, the engine suddenly and unprompted revved excessively, sounding as though the accelerator pedal was floored. The vehicle forcefully lunged forward against braking pressure into a cement wall, causing front-end damage to the vehicle. Cruise control was completely disabled and no check engine light or warning indicators illuminated on the dashboard. At no time did I feel like I had control over the car. I sustained some contusions. No one was in the vicinity at the time; however, other cars and/or people could have been struck. The vehicle has yet to be examined by anyone although I am in the process of arranging for an autobody repair shop. Prior to this, the car was in its usual state of health without any issues.

This complaint is being filed regarding a failed and botched remedy of two federal safety recalls: the Crankshaft Position Sensor recall and Safety Recall Z46 (High-Pressure Fuel Pump) on my Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.The vehicle was delivered to Kendall DCJR of Soldotna, AK for the recall services. The technician performed the recalls, but the high-pressure fuel pump failed immediately, resulting in systemic fuel leaking directly into the engine's crankcase oil pan. The fuel contamination thinned the motor oil, dropped oil pressure, caused the oil filter to collapse, and resulted in a catastrophically blown motor.Physical inspection confirms the entire fuel system is filled with destructive metal shavings and debris ("glitter") from the disintegrating pump, requiring a complete replacement of all fuel components and the engine assembly. The vehicle has been rendered entirely undrivable and has been sitting out of service at the authorized dealer for over 30 cumulative days. The manufacturer (Stellantis/Jeep) has failed to provide a safe, effective, and timely remedy for these safety recalls, and is refusing to issue a Corporate Rental Authorization (CRA) or alternative transportation while my vehicle remains grounded due to the safety defect's failure. This is a complete failure to execute a federal safety recall remedy in a reasonable timeframe.

I am the original owner / a loyal Jeep owner and have taken excellent care of the vehicle. Right now, the leather on my upper dashboard is completely bubbling, shrinking, and pulling away from the defroster vents. This is creating a serious visibility issue due to glare, and it prevents the defroster from blowing air effectively, which I feel is a major safety hazard. I am fully aware that the original warranty and the limited X81 extension program have technically expired. However, this issue began only a few months ago and because this is a well-documented manufacturing defect specific to the leather dashboards on 2011-2014 Overlands and Summits, I am requesting corporate goodwill assistance to cover the cost of the replacement. Can we please open a customer assistance case to review this issue.

The vehicle has a severe, life-threatening safety defect where it randomly drops into neutral while driving at speed, physically locks the shifter, and actively engages the electronic braking system on its own, stranding me in active traffic. I brought the vehicle to a certified Jeep dealership to resolve this exact symptom. They misdiagnosed the vehicle and charged me nearly $3,000 to replace the valve body and connectors. The dangerous symptom remains completely unchanged, meaning the vehicle is unsafe to operate and the manufacturer-certified repair facility has failed to remedy a critical safety defect. The issue hasn’t been fixed and it has been 5-6 months.

My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee suddenly developed a no-start condition after previously operating normally. The vehicle would crank but would not start. The battery and fuel injectors were checked and replaced as needed, but the problem persisted. Based on the symptoms and known issues affecting 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, the internal fuel pump relay/TIPM is suspected. This defect has been the subject of previous safety recalls because it can cause engine stalling or a no-start condition. Although my vehicle is not currently included in an open recall, it is experiencing the same type of failure. A failure of the fuel pump relay can leave a vehicle stranded or cause the engine to stall unexpectedly, creating a serious safety hazard if it occurs while driving. I believe this issue should be investigated to determine whether additional vehicles should be covered by the recall.

My Son just bought the car from a private party. On our way home the engine light and a lightning bolt icon illuminated on the dash, followed by the vehicle going into limp mode. We had the vehicle scanned for codes and it came back with P0336 (crankshaft position sensor performance). After much investigation online, we found out that this is a known issue with the crankshaft position sensor and, most importantly, the tone wheel on the back of the engine. We looked up recalls on the vehicle and found a safety recall had been issued. While some vehicles affected received replacement of the tone wheel and sensor, others just received a software update. This particular vehicle received the software update. The issue is that the magnetic material on the tone wheel delaminates from the tone wheel. This is a costly repair that should have been fixed correctly from the beginning, not just a software patch. It is a safety concern because it is dangerous when you are traveling at highway speeds and it goes into limp mode.

After a bit of time the car will start back up and will drive. It has been to the shop and they can not find what is the problem. there are no codes to be read. In reading various forums that is a common problem with the 3.2l engine in the Jeeps. It is dangerous as you lose ability to drive the car on teh highway, when it happens and hopefully you are close to the left lane so you can pull over without being hit.

My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit EcoDiesel (VIN: [XXX] ) experienced a catastrophic engine failure at approximately 116,000 miles while driving. The vehicle suddenly displayed an oil pressure warning, and I immediately shut the engine down to avoid further damage and potential safety risks. At the time I shut the engine off, the engine was not making catastrophic knocking noises and was not leaking oil heavily. The vehicle was towed to Astorg Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Parkersburg, WV. Before inspection, I specifically instructed dealership personnel not to start the engine because I suspected a serious oil-related issue and wanted to avoid causing additional damage. Despite these instructions, the dealership started and ran the engine anyway. After the dealership started the vehicle, the engine condition reportedly worsened significantly, including severe engine noises and much heavier oil leakage. I was later informed the vehicle would require complete engine replacement, with estimated repair costs ranging from approximately $10,000 to $24,000. At the time of failure, the vehicle was also subject to the unresolved Z46 High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) recall, which had not yet been completed. I had previously been informed that recall parts were available and the repair would be scheduled. I am concerned that the unresolved recall and/or related fuel system issues may have contributed to this catastrophic engine failure. I am also concerned about the potential safety risk assoc

While driving home from work on March 13, 2026, the alternator in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (3.0L EcoDiesel) failed, resulting in a progressive loss of electrical power. As battery voltage dropped, the vehicle entered “limp mode.” When I was aproximatly 1 mile from my home when I was forced to stop at a railroad crossing while a freight train was passing. At that time, due to low voltage, the electronic shifter and ignition system became completely unresponsive. I was unable to shift the vehicle into Park or Neutral and was also unable to shut off the engine. The vehicle remained in Drive, requiring constant brake pressure to prevent forward movement. This created an immediate and dangerous situation, as I was stopped very close to a moving train with no functional means of securing or disabling the vehicle. Any loss of braking force or control could have caused the vehicle to enter the path of the train, creating a high likelihood of serious injury or death. After reaching my residence, the condition persisted. I remained unable to shift or shut down the vehicle and was forced to manually disconnect the negative battery cable, which is located under the passenger seat, in order to stop the engine. I am very lucky that I had a small metric socket set in the vehice, that I am somewhat mechanically enclined, and that I have long arms & legs, as this process was extremely difficult.

RE: The Power Liftgate Module Malfunction Approximately 45 days ago I began to see water build up inside the well where the liftgate locks. After seeing this twice - after it rained - I was at the dealership for an oil change and asked them to take a look. After review they suspected water intrusion, as there was a recall but not specifically on my VIN. Dealership indicated water tests were needed and I needed to drop my car off for the day or 2. They also indicated to seek your help because of the recall. I couldn't leave my car there that day. On 3/28/26 I did several water tests on the hatchback, using a hose and controlled the flow over the different sections of the hatchback in grid fashion of 6 sections. Each section I sprinkled water like a light rain and then waited 60 mins to see if the water would make it into the lock well. After checking I dried the lock well and then waited another hour to be sure no additional water came into the lock well, before continuing the process over the course of that day and the next. Each time water intruded, entered the inside of the vehicle into the lock well. After conducting research on this issue, the recall stated that this could cause a fire, and not to park the car inside of the garage or near other vehicles. As a result, the hatchback is malfunctioning, it opens and then automatically reverses, and it closes. It will not stay open and is not usable.

Component/System Failure: The internal fuel pump relay within the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM-7) failed. This component is not available for inspection as it is an internal board-mounted relay, but the dealership-installed External Bypass Relay (Part #CBWPR091AA) and the failed fuel pumps are documented on the attached service invoice. Safety Risk: The failure caused an unpredictable engine stall at highway speeds in heavy traffic. This resulted in a complete loss of motive power while moving, creating an immediate risk of a rear-end collision and leaving the vehicle stranded in a live lane of traffic. Confirmation: The technician documented a terminal 'static pressure drop' to 35 PSI (Spec is 58 PSI). Based on this confirmed low-pressure state, the dealer required the replacement of both the Main Fuel Pump and the Siphon/Auxiliary Transfer Pump, alongside the installation of the External Bypass Relay Kit (Part #CBWPR091AA) to restore safe operation." Inspection: The vehicle was inspected and repaired by the authorized manufacturer representative (Larson Chrysler Jeep). I have also opened a formal case with Stellantis Corporate (Case # 96059987).

As I was on my home on 2/20/26, I encountered some issues. I made a right turn onto the highway and my vehicle did a little drift but made this weird sound and the front end shook. There were no warning lights or dings that came across the dash. I pulled over into the closest parking lot to see if I could notice anything. I couldn't because I only had the light from a parking lot lamp. So decided to try and make it home which was another 15 minutes away. As I got back on the road and pressed the accelerator, I could here ticking sounds coming from the rear of the vehicle. When I approached the next traffic light and pressed the brakes, the front end shook, making the steering wheel shake, and the rear end drifted left. I made another left and pressed the accelerator.

The seat belt does not retract. There is a crack where the seat belts enter the post and compresses the seat belt. I took it to the dealer and they would love to fix it but there are no parts available so they can not do anything. In summary we use the seatbelt only as a decoration piece so we do not get ticket it by non-using a seat belt. I asked the dealer if I could try to fix it my myself but he believes I will void the warranty. Not having a seatbelt is a major safety issue, that's why I write to you. Suggestion: (1) or Mopar gets the parts available to the dealer or (2) we do not penalized the user for trying to fix it. This is my wife car [XXX] ) she is [XXX] /o. The car is excellent conditions with 48 K miles. Thank you much for you help in considering this issue. BTW Jeep forum is full of users with the same problem.

Service Brakes

The Anti-lock braking system and the electronic traction control system are both failing. There were previous recalls on both systems that say they have been repaired, but the lights for both are constantly on. The brakes do not work fully, and it has caused me to slide down the street from my workplace. The electronic traction control system not working has caused it so that my four-wheel drive does not work, and I have gotten stuck in the snow multiple times. The car has been inspected by a repair technician. The warning lights came on right as the problem was happening.

Driver side Headrest Airbag Yes vehicle is available for inspection. No accident Yes injury The driver side headrest airbag deployed while driving without an accident happening. I suffered whiplash and headaches after the incident that happened on January 18th, 2026. The headrest airbag deploying could have caused an accident but lucky for me I was able to pull my vehicle over safely. There is a possibility of going to the doctors if neck pain and headaches continue. I will be taking it to the dealership on Tuesday January 20th, 2026 to find out what caused the airbag to deploy. It has not been inspected yet but will be tomorrow January 20th, 2026. No warning lights came on before or during the airbag deploying.

Vechicle returns to limp mode. Almost causing several accidents on interstate. Engine 3.6. variable valve timing enough jeep at one time offered a longer warranty. Replaced cams,heads,phasers,oil pump,computer,timing chain,timing gears, over 9000.00 parts and labor. Mopar parts very problematic with the varible timing valve train.after problems in timing was fixed, there now is a oil pressure problem. Master mechanic credentials worked on vechicle several time and hour to try to fix problems. Mechanic now say only way to make vechicle safe at this point is to put a new engine in.this will cost over 13000 dollars over the 9000.00. I have already spent. Scariest part of this vechicle is when on a 70mph interstate and vechicle goes to a top speed of 40mph.

Reading this record
A high number of complaints describe fires or crashes.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
