In November 2024, Jeep applied an over-the-air software update to my Jeep Grand Cherokee L without my request. Immediately after the update, the forward collision warning system malfunctioned and warning indicators appeared. At the same time, multiple electronic body control and safety-related functions changed or stopped working, including the automatic door locks and several vehicle settings resetting (language, units, and driver-assist preferences). The affected systems are electronic safety and body control components and are available for inspection. The malfunction of the forward collision warning system puts vehicle occupants and others at risk because the vehicle may fail to provide collision alerts intended to help prevent or reduce the severity of a crash. There was no crash, d

Randomly, and without warning, the instruments, gauges, and displays will switch into a language I do not speak or understand (Italian). Coinciding with the switch to Italian language, cluster and radio display settings revert back 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. all change, 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 an

The infotainment center went to error on Jeep with less than 60,000 miles. Owned from new 2 years. The infotainment center can not be accessed and it makes modifications on its own. Like choosing different language of Italian and using euro measurements. There is no way to change this. The biggest issue is that it turned off safety feature which I believe is the forward collision warning. There is no way to change safety setting with out infotainment system. It also believed to be causing battery to drain. Jeep will not assist.

On multiple occasions, vehicle screen just go blank, backup camera won’t work, do locks do not work, and forward collision detection not working for a year now after last forced over the air update for Uconnect system. Car has been to dealer multiple times and still no fix for it. Also 4wd system not working properly and vehicle pulls to side even tho alignment is set to factory specs. Also the driver seat module melted and dealer can’t figure out why and wasn’t covered under any type of warrenty

Passenger lumbar support bladder bags blow up in their own causing seat leather to stretch and seat back to pop off. Took to dealership, the whole fuse and/or electrical panel related to passenger seat controls is faulty. This is the second time this has happened to my jeep.

When powered up, the car's entertainment/control system switched to Italian and metric units. In addition, the Forward Collision Warning indicator lights up as disabled even though it's configured on. Unknown whether it's really on or off but if it's off, then this safety feature has become unavailable. This happened in April of this year and I had to take it to the dealership to get it reset for $250. The exact same thing has happened again--the unit has become unconfigured in Italian and metric mode and the forward collission warning disabled is again present.

There is an issue with the sensors. While driving for no reason it will break. It’s done it multiple times. While turning left. The sensors have stopped me in front of oncoming traffic. And won’t allow me to proceed forward. There is also an issue while trying to back out of parking spots. There will be nothing behind me. But it will break and not allow me to leave. This is very concerning. I am afraid to drive my vehicle. I’ve taken it into the dealership and they weren’t able to fix it.

The last forced OTA update we received on the vehicle has been a complete disaster. The build number is [XXX]. It has lit the FCW off light on the dash despite it being selected as on in the settings. It has also disabled the paddle shifters, randomly turns the language on our display to Italian, randomly locks up the UConnect system into an Android Command prompt and causes numerous issues with the radio. The update has also caused the driver's lumbar support to randomly inflate while driving the car. I've searched on many Jeep forums and this appears to be a common issue. My dealer says there is no "recall" yet from Jeep and wants to charge hundreds of dollars to reflash the software. All reports I have found online show that reflashing the software has not worked for others. See

The seat randomly inflated beyond capacity and actually pushed the plastic backing of the seat apart . There is no fail safe that prevented this issue from happening it kept inflating. The seat has a massive bulge in it and there are dozens of threads online that show the same issue happened with the vehicle I have. 2022 , 2023 all in common. I purchased a technology package and am waiting on weather this will be covered and its unlikely. They want me to pay $2100 for a repair and stating mileage since I am past the manufacturer warranty. Its a 3 year old vehicle and mileage has nothing to do with our the seat on its own just blowing up and breaking the seat back. I have kids in the back seat and this is bulged and is happening to many people. Unsafe and expensive and I have no reco

Vehicle stalled out on major highway in 2023, 2024 and 2025. In 2023 and 2024 had vehicle towed to dealership and they could not recreate issue. Then in July 2025 vehicle stalled out and would not start again in major highway and towed again to dealership and they said it was fuel pump issue. This is what should have been detected in 2023 and 2024. I can’t trust the dealer they they will actually fix my vehicle.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned? Electrical system: infotainment display module, BCM, passive entry antenna, ignition/start system, and electronic power steering. Vehicle available for inspection. How was safety put at risk? The vehicle locked my children inside and would not start, requiring assistance to open it. The power steering failed for several hours, leaving the car unsafe to drive. Ongoing electrical instability creates unpredictable loss of critical functions. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer? Some issues were confirmed by the dealer (screen blanking, key fob failure, antenna fault, software issues). Others, including the power steering failure and lock-in incident, were not reproduced but were documented and acknowledged. Has the v

We noticed the "battery" indicator light was lit, so we changed the battery. That addressed the light, but soon it lit up again, followed by an overheated engine warning so we stopped and called for a tow to Puente Hills Jeep. We were informed it was a pulley so it was replaced along with the serpentine belt. Soon after receiving the vehicle, it started smoking, and it appeared it was catching fire so we had it towed to the dealer for the second time in one week. We've been informed it's the air conditioner compressor and it will be replaced. The concern is that we're dealing with this so soon after the basic warranty period has expired.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 55 MPH, the check engine warning light started flashing.
