While my wife was driving at night at 70mph, the left light selector knob near your left knee was set from the usual "Auto" position to the "0" position. She was trying to figure how to make the dash and radio lights brighter at night while waiting for me thus turning this selector knob that did make the dash brighter and not affecting the outside vehicle lights. When I got into the car and she was driving, she could not activate the high beam lever to stay permanently "on" by pushing the level forward as usual. Pulling the lever back engaged the high beams as long as you pulled the lever back but could not active them permanently on by pushing the lever forward. As I was the passenger, I went into the Uconnect panel menu to the "Light Section" and un-checked the "Running Lights" green check mark and all the lights WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING ! No head lights, no running lights, no rear lights, no outside vehicle lights while driving 70 miles per hour at pitch dark. Is this supposed to happen. I noticed in the owners manual that the Canadian version did not have this "0" position. Bottom line: Are you supposed to be able to turn off all exterior lights while driving at night completely off? Should I have gotten a WARNING of "This function is not available while the vehicle is in motion"?

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2022 record →
- my spare tire, lane assist, and/or emergency breaking, which none went into effect during the incident. - I was forced off the road where I collided with a parked car on the side of the street, which led me to being taken by ambulance to the local hospital. - Not yet, my vehicle is currently at a body shop being repaired. - I asked my Insurance to investigate when they went for the appraisal, but am unsure if it was done. - No warnings were given prior to the collision.
The vehicle’s hazard lights flash when the brake pedal is applied and my jeep is not part of the recall
I was never sent anything regarding my recall, so I’m kind of upset now it’s been since June 8th, apparently, since recalls been made and now come November my insurance is going to 138. I can’t afford that with daycare and other expenses. I’m going to jeep dealership tomorrow! And going to Speak to supervisor. But please make this right it’s utterly unacceptable to have said in USAA AP THAT MY INSURANCE IS INCREASING DUE TO NEGLIGENCE OF THE DEALERSHIP to inform me of my recall. I have two kids and not a happy momma right now
My car just put on the emergency brakes/forward collision warning while I was driving down the road out of nowhere and slammed on the brakes.
I was slowing down behind a bus waiting for a kid to cross and my car just shut off out of nowhere and wouldn’t go out of park.
A few moments after I started my car and started to move the steering wheel became stiff and very hard to steer. I received warning messages on the dashboard telling me that the power steering was unavailable. There were also other warnings regarding blind spot and lane control systems.
Power steering would not work said to service blind spot unavailable and service electronic stability control
Power steering and other warning lights, including blind spot monitoring and lane assist, came on in a Grand Cherokee. I was unable to move the vehicle - the power steering was locked. Fortunately, it wasn’t on the road, but the driver was stranded until able to get the vehicle started eventually. The issue with the power steering is concerning, especially while driving. The engine light has remained on since.
Battery is not keeping power and vehicle stalled out while going 70 miles and vehicle wouldn’t power on for more than 10 mins even after charging battery. I am getting 12.0V while going 75 miles and i get 14.0 when I am stopped and parked. Had to have vehicle towed to dealership and they said they couldn’t recreate the issue. The dealer didn’t put my engine cover back and my vehicle is still not producing enough power.
Dealer inspection states my Jeep needs to be repaired as described in 23V-413, however the parts are on back-order with no ETA. I opened case #867-835-10 with Chrysler.
The Forward Collision Warning light comes on display cluster during start indicating it is turned off. Adaptive Cruise Control does not appear to be working because it doesn't give warning upon closing in on the vehicle in front of my vehicle and I have had to react by tapping brake to turn the cruise off. Parking Collision Warning works intermittently. These problems showed up after a software update done at dealership. When I took it in recently was told they could not find any problems.
Vehicle sets automatic brake when backing up. The back up camera turns red as if something was blocking when nothing is there. When attempting to go in reverse the car kept stoping on its own and putting the emergency break on. It took multiple attempts to get out of the parking lot and has happened more than once.
Had multiple close encounters with vehicles in front of us suddenly stopping and no response from system, Also front parking sensors do not indicate when approaching an object until almost in contact, might get a visual on dash cluster, then a the audible afterwards, long time in between Getting back in vehicle and starting ti leave, now sensors are both visual and beeping One more item, using the self parking feature, gad to apply brakes before feeling that our vehicle was going to hit vehicle behind us in spot
After starting the vehicle, I placed it in reverse and warning light came on - steering unavailable, lane change and collision warning unavailable. I was not able to steer the vehicle. Shut engine off several times and had the same problem. Later in the day, I started the vehicle with no problems. Called the dealer and they said that there was nothing they could do until it happens to them.
Twice in the last month I was driving to work on a two lane road without any objects in the roadway and the forward collision warning system automatically applied the breaks hard enough for my coffee to splash out of my coffee cup. It occurred at almost the same spot on the road. However, I drive this road at least twice a day. I'm concerned that it might apply the breaks randomly while driving on the highway, thus causing an accident. I have reported it to the dealer. Despite me relaying my safety concern to them, I am unable to get an appointment until July 8th.
Two problems: 1- this happened twice, after shutting and exiting the vehicle with the key fob, the vehicle goes crazy, lights start flashing, horn honking and the doors auto lock - very dangerous as my child was locked in the car for a few minutes until i was able to play with the key enough to get it to unlock. problem #2 driving vehicle and as coming to slow down it auto shuts off in middle of road, when trying to put it back into gear it says put foot on break and restart the car. it did restart but it is super dangerous as the car behind me could've hit me as it suddenly stopped.
From the time the vehicle is started, there is an approximate 15 second delay for the backup camera and rear cross traffic alert to display a live view when in reverse and the vehicle is in motion. I.E. putting the vehicle in reverse immediately after starting the engine will show a frozen, then 1-2 second delayed view of the actual image when in reverse. This problem happens any time the vehicle is started, and corrects after about 15 seconds, when finally an actual live view is displayed by the backup camera when in reverse.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
