2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L owner complaints

While driving, the power steering disengaged and made the vehicle difficult to steer. The power steering warning light illuminated in the dash and the vehicle went into safety mode. After letting the vehicle remain shut down, the error code rectified itself and the power steering warning disappeared. Vehicle was serviced by the dealership and a power steering module update was performed. The rack and pinion were inspected. The vehicle subsequently suffered the same issue. Again, after driving to vehicle to safety and shutting it off, the issue resolved itself. This is a safety issue that appears to be electronic and allows the power steering to disengage while driving,

The dash lit up with all lights and it said SOS Power STEERING is out. I could not turn the wheel. The lights such as my miles was blinking, the seat belt was flashing along with dinging even though my seat belt was on. There has been recalls due to power steering issues but my car isn't on there. It put me and my son at risk for a terrible accident. I have taken it to a dealership. There were no warnings prior to this incident.

Started the vehicle and while pulling down the driveway the power steering suddenly went completely out. Warning lights began flashing and I was unable to steer vehicle. Stopped vehicle and turned off several times, however unable to overcome power steering loss, or reset warning lights. No other issues, considering the vehicle was just recently serviced for same complaint four weeks earlier and batteries replaced stemming from another recent issues with DTCS issues. Considering I was in a rural wooded area, I was forced to drive the vehicle home without power steering. I parked the vehicle waiting for appointment from dealer, and upon starting the vehicle, power steering returned, however a check engine fault light remained. The dealer found "many DTCS communication loss codes again", b

There is a module that needs some sort of update I have power but my steering completely went out. All the lights in my dash came on, and my odometer started blinking. Ive read that newer models the 2023 edition also has this problem and has an open recall right now.

The car updated itself and now my front collision warning light is on, I have tried to reset everything but still on. The update caused the warning light.

I think it is the lumbar support bag in the driver's seat. It has blown up and blown up and will not deflate, to the point it is SO uncomfortable to drive and the seat back has POPPED completely open. I have pictures. I have read in some online forums other Jeep owners with this scabies l exact model have had issues. Why isn't this a recall? Help! We should not have to bear the burden of the expense of this system malfunction. How we pool together to get this considered a recall that Jeep must repair?

The driver side seat bolster inflates and deflates randomly while you are driving. Usually on the left side of the seat.

I own a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L covered under a Mopar Maximum Care extended warranty. My vehicle frequently displays the following safety-related warnings: - Auto Emergency Braking (AEB) Limited Functionality – Service Required - Blind Spot Alert Unavailable – Service Required - Active Lane Management (ALM) Unavailable – Service Required These warnings occur randomly, sometimes appearing and disappearing repeatedly within seconds. Because the malfunctions are intermittent and unpredictable, they are difficult to reproduce during a scheduled inspection. I have documented multiple incidents through photographs and videos. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Jeep dealership, where technicians conducted an approximately 50-mile test drive but could not reproduce the warnings. Despite

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request?- Left and Right 3.6L Engine Mount. Vehicle purchase 7/23/2021. Yes available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk?-The failed engine mounts are a safety concern because the mounts premature wear causes the engine to move which can damage other vital components of the vehicle. The excessive engine movement can cause damage to steering, drive train, fuel cooling, and electrical components, which could lead to loss of vehicle control, or a breakdown. If the mount fails completely, the engine can shift enough to affect shifting, steering, or throttle operation increasing the risk of a crash. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independ

Started driving home and heard the vehicle making clinking noises. Then the service 4wd light came on. It slips in shifting almost like the vehicle shuts down for a sec and then comes back. When you are sitting the vehicle will randomly jerk forward even in park mode. Like the brake releases and then comes back. It's very unsafe and with it shifting the way it does the actuator is failing which in return will cause a very bad accident. This car can just shut down at any given moment.

Dear Agency I have got big problem. I am writing to request urgent assistance regarding a serious safety issue with my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2021 (WL) L, imported by me (private) from the U.S. market to Poland. I have recently noticed on web recall site about a 4 recall but 2 of them are very serious campaign concerning the replacement and repair of the rear springs and second - control arm nuts. The campaign was not performed earlier in USA. My vehicle is affected by first issue — the right rear spring is dislodging, which has been confirmed by inspection in goverment cars controling station in Poland. I have already contacted two authorized Jeep service centers in Poznan, Poland: Jeep Service Złotniki, Obornicka 4 street [XXX] and Jeep Service, Świętego Michała Street 20 [XXX] , as

In XXX I received a phone call from the Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram dealership in [XXX] that my vehicle had a recall and needed repairs. I took my vehicle there XXX and assumed all work was completed and that the dealership billed out to the manufacturer for repayment for performing this recall repair. However, now I am receiving additional notifications from both FCA and the dealership that the same identified recall is needing to be repaired again (64A or 20D). I am concerned there is something suspicious happening with the dealership and feel like they are being dishonest to the manufacturer that they actually repaired my vehicle in April under this recall. I would like this to be investigated because I was not provided any proof of service/repair (photos, document, etc). I am unsure about

My 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland has experienced repeated and escalating safety‑related failures involving the electrical system, telematics/SOS functions, powertrain components, and suspension. These failures have continued despite major warranty repairs and now pose a significant safety risk. Timeline of Defects: In August 2026 at ~52,276 miles, the vehicle required over $10,000 in repairs. Failures included: no A/C cooling, compressor and fan not engaging, evaporator leak, low refrigerant, and A/C clutch not activating. The driver seat cooling failed, the seat fan dragged, and both massage seat modules were shorted. The engine had an oil pan leak, idler and tensioner noise, and collapsed engine mounts. Immediately after these repairs, in September 2026, new electrical and safety

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH, the rear wheels were shaking with an unknown message displayed. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V562000 (Suspension); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

"The manufacturer closed Safety Recall Y72 on my vehicle stating a software update resolved the headlight hazard. However, the safety defect is actively occurring. During rain, moisture enters the headlamp assembly, causing the headlight to flash uncontrollably and sending severe electronic glitch signals across the dashboard. This creates a sudden, dangerous visibility hazard while driving. I have attached an official Mopar wiTECH 2.0 diagnostic scan tool report dated September 2026. The scan explicitly proves active hardware failures, including code B1632-11 (Left High Beam Short to Ground) and code B2835-13 (Left Headlamp Assembly Performance-Circuit Open). The software recall failed to protect the vehicle, and the physical lighting components are shorting out. The manufacturer is refus

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that the front driver’s-side headlight intermittently failed to operate while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact was informed that the headlight module needed to be replaced to fix the headlight. The "Left Headlamp Needs Service" message was displayed, and the headlight became inoperable. Upon investigation, the contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V950000 (Exterior Lighting); however, the service record indicated that the headlight was inspected but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that the recall repair was performed. The vehicle was no longer under the recall. The contact was provided with a case number. The f

Randomly, and without warning, the instruments, gauges, and displays will switch to Italian along with cluster and radio display settings reverting to default settings, auto door locks and paddle shifter becomes inoperative (with no menu to enable), pedestrian emergency brake (peb) lamp or forward collision warning (fcw) lamp turns on with no way to disable, units of measurement including speed, temperature, etc. change to metric and many other random settings change as well. ***This is clearly a dangerous situation because of all the functions and gauges that change, and the fact it is difficult if not impossible to recover from this due to the language of the setting menus, and the complexity of discovering and navigating through all these changes. The dealer charge me $300 diagnostic fe

On or about 10/7/26, my vehicle suffered a simultaneous, unprompted failure of multiple safety and control systems. I believe this is due to a background manufacturer-initiated Over-the-Air (OTA) software update and is a well known issue on the Jeep Grand Cherrokee L . The exact date the update was pushed is unknown, as it occurred automatically via the telematics system. The symptoms appeared suddenly: the Forward Collision Warning and Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) systems completely deactivated, leaving the 'FCW OFF' warning light permanently illuminated on the dashboard. Concurrently, the steering wheel paddle shifters ceased to function ('Paddle Shifting Disabled'), and the vehicle's digital display automatically reset its units of measurement. This constitutes a severe safety h
