2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L owner complaints

I purchased my 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee, new, approximately one month ago on [XXX] at Victory CDJR in Merrillville, IN 46410. Since purchase, the vehicle has been returned to the dealership three times for the same issue, and I am now scheduled for a fourth repair attempt. This fourth repair appointment was scheduled on the same day of the 3rd attempt hours after I picked it up because the problem wasn't resolved. The problem is that both key fobs randomly stop working, preventing reliable access to and operation of the vehicle. The failure is intermittent and unpredictable, which makes it especially concerning. Despite multiple service visits on November 26th, 2025, December 3rd, 2025, and December 31st, 2025, the issue has not been resolved and I now have to return the fourth time on J

The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Emergency Braking does not function, and we believe it has never function properly since we purchased the vehicle NEW on 8/22/25. The vehicle has been to the local Jeep dealer on numerous occasions to have the issue corrected, but to date, they are unable to determine a root cause or affect a repair. On the last repair visit, they conducted a road test with their employee driving and the service and myself in the car. They could not get the FCW to function either, despite a call to the Jeep remote assistance line and a reboot of the main control panel. The service manager indicated that he would reach out to their factory technical representative for assistance. They called me a few days later and asked my to bring the vehicle in again. It has now be

The Hatchback was suddenly in operable where none of the buttons or fobs would open or close the hatchback to the point I was not able to close the hatch manually and the hatch flung open while driving causing dangerous driving conditions. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the hatch but the buttons in the vehicle still didn't work and found it was the connector pins were not connecting. My concern is that I have family and children in my backseats and do not feel safe driving with passengers where the hatchback can open while driving on a new car 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee with only 14 miles when purchased less than a month ago for $40k+.

A software error has caused the rearview image not to display when it is placed in reverse. This may cause harm to both driver and passenger in the vehicle due to an accident. Not being able to see in reverse can cause the driver to hit someone and or something without knowledge.

My GRAND CHEROCKEE Limited Edition 2025, has an intermittent and recurring, sudden, TOTAL LOSS OF PROPULSION condition, since I bought it new in 2025, making this vehicle a safety hazard. While driving, the engine suddenly begins to roar. Immediately afterward, the vehicle experiences a sudden and total loss of propulsion and the speed drops dramatically, despite the engine revs up to 5,000-6,000 or more, the engine does not respond when I press the accelerator and the vehicle continues losing speed, creating a VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, especially in heavy traffic and on the highway. This happened numerous times, driving at both city and highway speeds. The condition is sudden and unpredictable. After the engine is shut off and restarted, normal operation temporarily returns! I video r

The backup camera screen shows a blue screen when the gear is placed in reverse. It is difficult to see pedestrians, or other objects not viewable on the rearview mirror. This has occurred on numerous occasions. I contacted the manufacturer and the manufacturer told me to contact the dealership. I contacted the dealership and took a day off work to bring the vehicle to the dealership, but I was told that they couldn't fix the issue because they did not have a loaner vehicle available. I believe this is a safety issue causing me to backup into someone without my knowledge.

This complaint is an update to my previous complaint #11679471 submitted on August 8, 2025. Please consider this as additional information to the original case. Since my initial submission: Second Dealership Refusal: I attempted to bring the vehicle to a second authorized Jeep dealership for inspection and diagnosis. They refused any service, stating they would not inspect or repair the vehicle. This is now the second dealership to reject the vehicle after the incident. Obtained Diagnostic Printouts: Despite refusing service, the second dealership was convinced to provide printed codes from the vehicle. These codes show multiple system errors recorded at a very low vehicle mileage, including communication failures with the ABS control module, brake system internal failure, and CAN bus er

My vehicle is experiencing multiple dangerous electrical and drivetrain failures that occur intermittently and without warning. The issues began the day of purchase purchase and continue to worsen. Documented defects include: Vehicle randomly will not start Vehicle randomly will not turn off Dashboard/electronic systems reset intermittently (gauges go blank or restart, Bluetooth disconnects, warning indicators reset) Fuel gauge does not update while driving Sometimes vehicle will start but will not move (forward) when shifted into Drive or when in drive and brake pedal has been depressed. Vehicle sometimes fails to move when placed into Reverse Vehicle must be shut off and restarted to regain ability to move Key fob is not recognized by the doors or proximity sensors Driver’s sea

Vehicle shuts off intermittently without warning. Random dash warning lights will flash, but not stay on. Air suspension will engage on its own while vehicle is not turned on, and electrical panels and lights will turn on and flash while vehicle is parked in garage, hours or days after last driven. Transmission will struggle to shift gears from low speeds, but then quickly “catch up” causing unpredictable acceleration. This vehicle has been to the dealership 5 times with batteries replaced, and software resets done, but no conclusion to what the source of the issue is. A camera was installed in our garage after the vehicle was sent home with us without being repaired due to being unable to replicate the issue. The camera captured 4 incidents of the vehicle electronics turning on, and air s

The occurrence happened 4 times. While driving when the accelerator is pushed, and not in an extreme way, the engine will rev to the maximum level, the transmission stopped working the car comes to a slow stop and the ignition must be switched off to stop the run away engine. Then restarted without incident. This has happened while making both left and right turns with and without cruise control on. Example: while driving on a 2 lane road with cruse control on the car in front slows to turn I apply the brakes, when applying minimal pressure to the accelerator pedal the engine revs to redline, the transmission stopes functioning and the vehicle coasts to a stop while in traffic with no forward movement possible. The engine revs without any input from the operator. Very dangerous have almost

I am reporting recurring safety-related shifting and vehicle gear/park-state concerns involving my 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has failed to transition properly from Reverse into Drive. I reported this Reverse-to-Drive issue to the manufacturer before later becoming aware of diagnostic information that I believed could potentially relate to the behavior. I am not a mechanic and do not know the underlying cause. On July 5, 2026, while my infant was in the vehicle, I placed the vehicle in Park and it displayed a “Park Not Engaged” warning despite being in Park. Warning sounds occurred and the vehicle automatically engaged the parking brake. This caused me serious concern about whether the vehicle was reliably recognizing its selected gear/p

The car started having engine issues. Car wouldn’t start. Had it towed to the dealership which replaced the engine after the dealership had it for a month. Then one week after the the engine was replaced the vehicle was having issues again. Replaced PCM

May 22nd, 2025- bought a brand new 2025 Grand Cherokee Jeep limited from Iverson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Huron South Dakota. - The computer module failed leading to multiple electrical issues such as fan for operating the A/C and heat and the screen for the radio constantly flickering and going black and then turning back on. - Our safety is at risk because the vehicle is not reliable. The fan goes from level 1 through 7 and it displayed "127" on the screen. We live in South Dakota and it's Winter now and our winters can and will be brutally cold. I don't feel safe with having our little daughter riding in a vehicle that is having constantly electrical issues. - The dealership and the manufacturer are aware of this issue but refuse to help and the dealership is still selling the sam

On 10/5/26 our jeep grand cherokee was parked in our drive way with the ignition started and the car in the park position. While my mom was in the car in the drivers seat, the car accelerated forward at a rapid speed and left the park position. The car slammed into my garage and caused severe damage to my garage and the car. The car is a total loss. I submitted this information to the police and to the manufacturer.

OnXXX at approximately 915 am I was making a LEFT hand turn across 3 lanes of 422, when the vehicle appeared to have a serious electrical failure and complete shut down as nothing on the vehicle was working and I was unable to immediately exit the vehicle. I was about 3 ft out into the intersection facing oncoming traffic going the opposite direction. The vehicle was towed to Preston Dodge/Jeep in New Castle PA. On Sept 16th I received a text message stating the problem had been fixed, the problem being "the positive terminal not being fully seated thus creating a powering down situation." I picked the vehicle up, and another significant electrical incident occurred at 3am on XXX while driving home from work. I lost all dashboard illumination except for my main center screen, and received

While driving my 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, the panoramic sunroof glass suddenly and unexpectedly shattered/burst while the vehicle was in motion. There was absolutely no rock, road debris, object, collision, or other impact that struck the glass before it failed. The failure occurred without warning. My wife and our two children were inside the vehicle at the time, making this an extremely serious safety concern. The glass appeared to fail suddenly and the panoramic sunroof was left open/damaged. There was no known external cause for the glass failure. The vehicle and damaged sunroof components are available for inspection, and I have photographs documenting the condition immediately after the incident. I am certain there was no impact to the glass. This vehicle has also previous

Was driving in normal weather conditions, no rain, no hail, no snow, no inclement weather whatsoever. During daylight hours, plenty of visibility. Was driving with no other vehicles around and my windshield cracked. Nothing hit it, no spider webbing, no point of impact. It made a loud cracking sound. The crack is roughly 80% of the with of my windshield. From setting behind the driver's seat, the crack starts around the steering wheel, goes up about midway, goes over to the passenger side and then goes up towards the roof. The crack makes a large N shape. The main horizontal of the crack is about center of the windshield. Had the vehicle less than two months at the time of the cracking.

Within weeks of purchasing my brand-new 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee, this past Thursday when leaving for my workday the steering wheel on my vehicle became completely immovable when I attempted to leave. I started the vehicle and tried to turn the wheel, but it would not move at all. There were no warning lights or alerts. I had no ability to steer or maneuver the vehicle, and it was completely undriveable. The vehicle had to be towed from my workplace to the dealership because the steering would not turn. After diagnosis, the dealer informed me that the entire power steering rack had failed and required full replacement. A power steering rack is a critical safety component, and a failure of this magnitude on a brand-new, very low-mileage vehicle is extremely concerning. If this defect had

Updates to the case#11679471. Since my initial report, Jeep arranged for an independent technician to retrieve and review the Event Data Recorder (EDR) from our vehicle. While Jeep has not shared the expert’s conclusions with us, we obtained a copy of the raw EDR data file from the same tech (attached). Based on the EDR data: 1. The brake pedal was fully applied approximately 0.4 seconds before impact and remained depressed. 2. The vehicle’s deceleration was only ~0.5 g, significantly below the expected ~0.8–1.0 g for dry asphalt conditions. 3. The ABS did not engage, indicating that hydraulic brake pressure was not reaching the level required to approach wheel lock. 4. The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system was “On” but did not engage. 4. The Advanced Brake Assist (ABA) activate

The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle suddenly shut off. The contact was able to immediately restart the vehicle and continued driving. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and DTC: P032S was retrieved (insufficient torque produced by the engine). The dealer was unable to repair the vehicle because the failure could not be duplicated.
