2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

The starter/starter solenoid and related engine oil sealing have failed three times. Most recently on 6/18/2026, and previously in 2024 and 2025, the vehicle would not start: the dashboard illuminated but the engine would not crank. The engine then began smoking and a burning electrical smell entered the cabin. My wife and young child were in the vehicle. The vehicle was rendered completely inoperable and had to be towed each time. Safety risk: an engine that smokes and emits a burning electrical odor upon attempted starting presents a fire hazard to occupants. On the most recent occurrence the failure happened at a fuel station with my family present, over 1,000 miles from home, stranding us for seven days. Dealer confirmation: yes. On the two prior occasions a franchise dealer diagnosed a defective starter solenoid and replaced the starter. Both repairs failed and the identical failure recurred. On the most recent occurrence, a different franchise dealer found that a plug sealing an unused opening on the engine block was missing, allowing engine oil to spray onto and saturate the starter, destroying it. The starter and the plug were replaced. All failures were documented on dealer repair orders, which are available on request. Inspection: the vehicle has been inspected and repaired by franchise dealers on all three occasions. No police or insurance inspection. The manufacturer has been notified through its customer care department, which has open case records on this vehicle. Warning indicators: none. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to any of the three failures. The vehicle simply would not crank, followed by smoke and a burning electrical smell. This vehicle has spent approximately 60 days out of service since purchase and has had persistent electrical problems documented since 2023. Despite repeated dealer repairs the same failure mode continues to recur. I am reporting this as an unaddressed safety defect.

The rear right coil spring and is available for inspection upon request. Spring failed while car was parked in driveway on flat ground, the car was driven with me and my 1 year old at highway speeds of 75mph. No warnings were displayed on dashboard. Never received an update of a recall and will not pull up when VIN is searched. Upon VIN search on MOPAR website original recall repair was done in 2023 which has failed. We did not know of this spring failure until arriving home and seeing it lie where I was parked. Earlier in the day a loud metal noise was heard but figured it came from passing traffic on highway. No one has inspected the vehicle yet, working on trying to get it towed since it is no longer safe to drive. Vehicles rear right tire is now pitched in at top towards rear wheel well. No warning or message was alerted to me.

While driving, the vehicle displayed a "Service Shifter" warning with no prior warning lamps or symptoms. The transmission then dropped out of Drive into Neutral on its own while the vehicle was moving, causing it to roll before the vehicle automatically shifted itself into Park and applied the parking brake. The vehicle could be shifted back into Drive but repeatedly slipped out of gear into Neutral again within about a minute each time. After parking, the gear indicator display (P/R/N/D) stopped illuminating entirely and has not returned. The vehicle is now unresponsive to the rotary shifter and is stuck in Park with no way to shift into any gear. This failure matches the description of open recall 30D (shifter module software defect causing loss of transmission gear position display), though my vehicle was not part of the currently identified population when checked against the VIN lookup. The vehicle is currently undriveable and has not yet been inspected by a dealer or independent shop.

The rear passenger side suspension coil fell out of my car in my driveway at less then 2 mph. The spring and rubber piece holding the spring in both fell to the ground with no damage done. The vehicle was towed to a jeep dealership where they confirmed there was no damage to any part of the vehicle, and it just fell out with no explanation. The dealer insists that we cannot reinstall the same sping, even though there is no damage to the vehicle or spring. If this would have happened at highway speeds, it could have been very dangerous for me or others around me. The dealer is currently making the repairs, but at my cost. There is currently a recall for this exact issue for my make/model/trim but for vehicles produced earlier in the year of 2023 (my vehicle is not covered). There was no warning lamps, messages or any symptoms of any failure prior to the spring falling from the vehicle.

Rear passenger coil spring popped out and became lodged in the tire while driving. We were driving on the Whitestone expressway and the car came to a resisted halt. This could have caused severe injury if I had not been in the lane and came to a slowdown to allow a car to merge in front of me. The highway traffic patrol man dislodged the fully intact coil from between the tire and tire well. There were no warning lamps, indicators, signs or symptoms. Initially I thought the tire popped which was strange as there was no pot holes or obstructions in the road.

My 2023 Jeep has had 2 recalls for rear suspension coil popping out while driving was inspected per manufacturer guidelines on 11/20/2025, approximately 7 months on 6/5/2026, after they “repaired” second recall for rear coil spring, the coil spring popped out when I was driving down the road. Took car to the dealership the vehicle has approximately 37,000 miles manufacturer claims since it was covered under the recall and “fixed” that I would have to pay 40% of the cost while they pay 60%. Manufacturer refuses to pay for repairs when this has been an ongoing issue. No warning lights came on the dash when this occurred. Made multiple attempts to contact manufacturer and was told that I would have to write a letter to the corporate office with my issue. The vehicle is still at the dealership awaiting repairs for this issue and currently has an active recall listed for the airbags.

I picked up my wife from the airport and I’m on 76 going home. As I am driving about to switch lanes I hear a pop, so I am thinking that I got a flat tire. As I pull over I check all my tires nothing is flat. I look under my car and I see that my rear suspension spring on the right side of my tire is hanging down. Now I am waiting for a tow, so I can take it back to the dealer.

My safety, my family’s safety and everyone around us front behind it doesn’t matter everyone is at risk. The vehicle for no reason at all just stopped. A very intense and.violent stop then the automatic braking and pedestrian warnings alerts came off. The vehicle did NOT come to a slow stop it felt like we hit into a brick wall. The dealership is never able to recreate or fix anything. Doubt they even try. They don’t put much effort into trying to recreate the issue.

The right rear coil spring on my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee dislodged and ejected from its mounted position while the vehicle was parked. The spring did not break; it came out intact. This vehicle previously had Recall 64A performed to address a rear coil spring-related safety issue. The recall had already been completed prior to this incident and marked as “complete” The failure occurred after the recall remedy, indicating a potential improper repair or incomplete resolution of the defect. The fact that the spring ejected while the vehicle was stationary raises serious concerns about improper installation or inadequate retention of the component. This presents a significant safety hazard, as the same failure could occur while driving and lead to loss of control. The incident also caused (or may have caused) damage to surrounding suspension components, which are currently being inspected. This complaint is being submitted as a recall remedy failure involving a safety-critical component. Additional details: Vehicle was parked at the time of failure No prior warning before the incident Spring dislodged intact (no fracture) I request that this issue be investigated as a failed recall repair.

Details: April 2025 (under warranty): Vehicle lost power and died. Dealership replaced batteries. December 2025: While driving, multiple warning lights (check engine, blind spot, lane departure, forward collision, accident avoidance) flashed repeatedly. Battery died and was replaced by AAA. Vehicle taken to dealership due to safety concerns; dealership found no issues. March 2026: Same warnings occurred again while driving. Vehicle lost all power while stopped at a red light. Hazard lights did not work. Gear selector knob rotated freely and could not be put in park. After opening the hood, vehicle restarted but windows, powered seats, and infotainment stopped working. Dealership replaced fuse array. April 2026 (3 weeks later): Vehicle would not start. After accessing battery under passenger seat, vehicle turned on with alarm and lights flashing. Same warning lights reappeared while driving. Interior electronics (windows, seats, infotainment) remained non-functional. Safety Risk: Complete loss of power in traffic, inability to use hazard lights, failure of driver-assistance safety systems, and inability to shift into park create significant risk of crash or injury. Inspection/Repair: Vehicle inspected multiple times by dealership and AAA. Batteries and fuse array replaced. Issue persists and root cause is UNKNOWN. Warning Signs: Repeated warning lights prior to failures, including check engine and multiple safety system alerts.

On [XXX], while driving my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L on the [XXX] , at approximately 65 mph, a ring (like a washer) detached from the brake pedal. This caused the vehicle to suddenly lose braking capability. Right after I attempted to brake the vehicle on the highway, the ABS light, brake assistance light, braking distance automatic light, and traction control lights all illuminated on the dashboard, and the vehicle required immediate assistance. The brake pedal did not respond normally to pressure. I had to downshift rapidly to slow down and exit the freeway safely. Once in a safer area, I was finally able to stop the vehicle by applying a lot of pressure to the pedal. This dangerous failure put myself and other drivers at serious risk of an accident. Due to the severity of the issue, I immediately called a tow truck and had the vehicle taken to the authorized Jeep dealership in Tustin for repairs. I had previously experienced another major repair (rear axle joint binding) that took approximately 64 days when the vehicle had around 30,000 miles. The current incident occurred at approximately 52,000 miles. I reported this safety issue to Jeep Customer Service and received Reference Number [XXX]. This is a serious safety defect involving the brake system that could have caused a crash on the highway. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I rented this car from Fox Rental Cars at Seatac Airpot between 2/18/26 and returned 2/23/26. While in the AUTO setting for headlights, the high beams suddenly shut off and quick working. Then the tail lights quit working. I did not know the tail lights were inoperable until I was pulled over. When I shut off the vehicle and turned it back on, the tail lights came back on and I was released without a ticket. Then I got pulled over again on the 21st about a mile from my family home. The tail lights did not turn back on at all but the officer allowed my brother in law to come follow the vehicle home since I was so close. I ended up only driving the car during daytime hours. When I called the customer service line, I could not understand a word the person was saying so I gave up and decided to just drive during daylight hours for safety. When I reached out to Fox management, I was told there were no issues with inoperable tail lights or high beams even though when I checked the vehicle back in, the attendant noted on an incident ticket that the tailights were not working. He did not note the high beams not working on the ticket but they were still inoperable at the time of drop off. If this rental car company rents this vehicle to anyone else, someone could be killed. I asked them for a refund and they denied it based on them saying there was no issues. I not only reported this for a refund but SAFETY reasons so the next driver of the car doesn't get hurt. They clearly never inspected the issue any further if they say the tailights and high beams work. They did not work. I have included my rental invoice, incident ticket provided by FOX rental return attendant, vehicle information sheet, and email from management at Fox stating there were no issues because she didn't want to give me a refund.

6/24/24 I took my dog to the vet. On the way home the compartment door open while we’re driving. I did pull over on the parking lot to close the door. The thing is, the button to open and close the door on the back side is easily accessible. My guess my dog accidentally press it that’s why it happens. Luckily no dog or person is harmed. I think it needs to be investigated to see if recall is warranted as there’s safety issue in my opinion.

From the beginning of ownership, this vehicle has experienced repeated infotainment and system failures that directly impact driver safety, including: The infotainment screen pixelating, freezing, and restarting while the vehicle is in motion A documented incident where the system emitted a loud noise for over 30 seconds before restarting Screen restarts while backing up, preventing the rearview camera from displaying System restarts during active phone calls and GPS navigation The issue occurring regardless of device type, after testing multiple Android and Apple phones Most critically, during a recent incident while driving, the screen restarted and the transmission unexpectedly shifted into manual mode These failures are consistent, repeatable, and documented through photos and video evidence, which I have provided to the dealership. Despite this, I have repeatedly been told that “no issues were found,” even though the problems persist and continue to worsen. A vehicle system restarting while driving—especially when it disables safety features like the rear camera or affects drivetrain behavior—constitutes a serious safety hazard. I no longer feel safe operating this vehicle, and my confidence in its reliability has been completely undermined.

Since I bought the vehicle in February 2025 I have reported the infotainment screen failure/ going black while driving. I immediately reported it to my salesman and had it assessed by my local dealership as well about it. They told me it was up to date and they could not find any codes and sent me on my way. Shortly after I realized the auto start/stop wouldn't engage and I also encountered a random subwoofer boom upon starting my vehicle at times. The electrical issue has been known by Jeep for some time as there was a technical service bulletin that circulated regarding these issues and there are numerous other issues that were reported as well on this bulletin. Bringing you to my recent experience was after bringing my jeep in twice after my purchase (when also under warranty) to address these electrical issues I was always told no codes, jeep is fine. It continued to be a problem but subwoofer got worse. Last week I tried to remote start my car and it just flashed rear lights and didn't start. It was completely dead. I was able to jump start it and got it to the dealership and they said it was the battery and replaced the battery. I had JUST had a new battery installed upon purchase in Feb 2025. Brought it home, same thing, it died. I noticed dash light going on and off and a chirping sound before it died again. Brought it back in. They say it was the door switch that's faulty. It's obviously an electrical issue and it will leave me stranded or others stranded. This is a safety hazard as it causes loss of display, loss of emergency calling, distraction, battery drain and unpredictable electrical behavior.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. In addition, a burnt odor was emitting from the interior of the vehicle.  No warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to pull to the side of the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact noticed flames were emitting from the brake caliper assembly, and the brake rotor was red on the front passenger-side tire. The contact used a giant water bottle to extinguish the flames. The contact, her mother, and her daughter were not injured.  The insurance company was contacted, and the contact requested a tow truck. However, the contact called roadside assistance. The driver, from roadside assistance, disconnected an unknown wire from the brake caliper. When the vehicle was restarted, the parking brake lever was engaged but failed to function as intended, and the ABS warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to drive very slowly and took the vehicle to a family member's residence. The contact noticed that smoke was emitting from the front driver-side tire. The contact took the vehicle to Pep Boys, where it was diagnosed that the front brake calipers failed. However, the mechanic refused to repair the vehicle. The contact called the insurance company to have the vehicle towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the power brake booster was faulty, the vehicle had no brakes, the hydraulic control unit failed to build pressure, and an unknown internal leak was found. And the hydraulic brake system had a leak; the left front wheel had caught on fire, which caused damage to the left front brake caliper, the rotor pads, and the brake hose, and the rear rotors were glazed.  The contact was informed that the brake booster, ABS module, brake caliper, brake line, gaskets, front brake pads, front rotors, rear brake pads, rear rotors, and adapter plate needed to be replaced. The DTC codes the diagnostic showed were C0050-00, which indicated a malfunction in the right rear wheel speed sensor circuit. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. And advised the contact that a field inspector would be sent to inspect the vehicle. However, the contact was awaiting the results. The failure mileage was 59,647.

My 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L and intermittent starting issue. The vehicle would not recognize the key at times. After a while I was unable to start the vehicle without having the fob touching. Last week the vehicle you start and the shutoff when I tried to drive away. I resorted to using the auto start and manipulate the vehicle start that way. A vehicle randomly shutting off when attempting to drive put myself and others at risk. I took the vehicle to the dealership and it was diagnosed that my Radio Frequency Hub module would need to be replaced. The part was replaced and programed resulting in the issue being revolved however the dealership failed connect both keys to the new RFH unit. After some reached I saw that the 2022 Jeeps had a recall for the same component: Customer Satisfaction Notification Z23 Radio Frequency Hub Module. unable to upload invoice at this time but can provide via email upon request

While making a left turn into a busy intersection with a green arrow signal, my car applied emergency braking, slamming all of us in the car forward, locked up tires, in the middle of the intersection, with a car right behind me! I have no idea how we were not rear ended! There was absolutely no reason for the braking and it was very scary, sending my daughter into tears. We were able to continue driving after a few seconds sitting in the intersection in shock. My head immediately hurt and wasn’t sure really what happened but the slam was intense like a collision. This is very scary, and dangerous! If this had happened on a hwy or at a faster speed could have caused a serious accident, which I am now reading has happened to other Jeep owners.

I own a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. On August 18, 2025, the rear suspension coil detached and fell off in my driveway. I had the vehicle repaired at an authorized Jeep dealership. However, on **August 31, 2025 — just 13 days later — the exact same coil spring detached again, this time while I was driving at freeway speeds.This is a severe safety hazard that could have caused a catastrophic accident. The defect is identical to NHTSA Recall No. 23V413000 (Chrysler Recall 64A), which addresses rear coil springs detaching while driving. Despite my vehicle being the same year, make, and model as those included in the recall, my VIN is not currently covered. Given that the defect has now occurred twice on my vehicle, including immediately after a dealer repair, I strongly believe this safety recall should be expanded to include additional VINs, including mine.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L - My front sunroof panel exploded out of nowhere while driving. My family was in the car as we were taking my son back to college. Thankfully the interior shade was closed and glass did not rain down on us while in motion. There was no warning, travel was smooth and no object hit the roof. I have read that there have been several other cases reported on this. VERY DANGEROUS

On July 16, 2025, at approximately 6:10 PM, I was driving home on the highway at around 65 mph when I attempted to brake. The brake pedal went completely to the floor, and no braking occurred. At the same time, the following warning lights and messages suddenly appeared on the dashboard: - “Service Park Brake” - “Service ABS” - “Service Electronic Stability Control” - “Auto Hold Unavailable” - “4WD System Temporarily Unavailable” I was able to maneuver the vehicle into the emergency lane without colliding with other vehicles or causing a high-speed rear-end accident. The vehicle came to a gradual stop but would not restart afterward. This failure occurred without any prior warning and posed a serious risk to my safety and the safety of others on the road. I do not know how an accident was avoided, as the failure was sudden and could have resulted in a tragedy. The vehicle is a 2-year-old Jeep, with approximately 36,000 miles, and has been regularly serviced by Jeep, most recently about one month prior to the incident. After the incident, I had the vehicle inspected by a Jeep dealership, which confirmed the failure and identified a defective brake control module as the root cause. The component is available for inspection upon request.
