The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal hissing and tapping sound coming from the engine compartment, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the wiring harness had failed due to rodent damage. The dealer informed the contact that the wiring insulation was soy-based and had been chewed on by rodents. The dealer stated that rodent urine and blood were found near the damaged wiring, and the area was not cleaned. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was advised by the dealer to place mothballs under the vehicle to deter rodents. The dealer also confirmed that no protective covering or preventative measure would be installed to prevent a future failure. The contact expressed concern that the failure made the vehicle unsafe and stated that the contact was afraid to ride in the vehicle due to the issue. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact back to the dealer for further assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 3,332.

On two occasions after sitting overnight, the vehicle dash did not light up and would not start. Roadside was called on one occasion and was not able to jump start the car after about 40 minutes of trying. Dash would light up, but engine would not turn over. Tow company came and drained two jump start batteries before it would start. It was taken to the dealership where they had it for a week and said it was a glitchy software update. A month later the same thing happened where it would not start after sitting overnight. Had to be hooked up to a Dodge Ram battery for 20 minutes before engine would finally turn over. However, the battery voltage sat at about 13/14 volts the entire time, so it doesn't seem to be a bad battery issue. Auto lights have been off as well as STOP/START in case something happens on the road. Could not get it into the dealership for inspection for a few weeks, so hoping they can reproduce and isolate the issue. It sounds like similar issues with other Grand Cherokee's have been left without solution. This definitely needs to be looked into.

Alerted to shift to park when making a turn. Lost power to engine, was able to coast to side of road and apply brake and shift to park. Dash alerted to push run so I pushed ignition switch and it cranked back up. First time this has happened took to dealership and left for them to look over.

The car randomly stopped while I was going 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. The car then would not allow me to move off of the high way or put the care in neutral. The car just stopped while merging on to the highway at 50 mph. It’s unsafe for myself and others The dealer has not been able to reproduce the issue but they see a code they’ve never seen before. The car is currently being inspected by the dealer. There was no warning before the incident .

Randomly, the passenger and driver seat’s lumbar and massaging features power on. In the case of the lumbar systems, they inflate to the point of rupture, resulting to damage in the seating surface and the delamination of the rear seat panel. All of this occurred while driving.

My 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee was having failures with the Active Lane Management and Park Sense features not turning on. A visit to the service department revealed failures with both the front and rear facing cameras. While waiting for parts, I was travelling on the highway with the Adaptive Cruise Control enabled. (Not thinking about a possible bad interaction with the ACC.) In slowed traffic, my Jeep decelerated approaching a car, then suddenly accelerated. I had to quickly press the brake before crashing into the car in front of me. The Adaptive Cruise Contol should have disabled with the other systems have trouble with the cameras. The failure mode should have been to brake or shutdown, not to accelerate.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I have taken my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L to the dealership twice for a known recall 12B/NHTSA 24V-130 and issue with the automatic high beam headlights not working properly. The dealership claimed it was fixed and ran a recall update, but the system still does not function as designed. I am now within 500 miles of my factory warranty expiring, and the dealership is no longer responding to my calls. The safety feature remains broken despite repeated attempts to have it repaired. This issue may be related to a known recall or software defect reported for failure to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108 – Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment., and is a driver safety concern at night or in low-light conditions. I am also reporting this issue to Jeep/Chrysler customer care and opened a case. I believe this should be further investigated as either a widespread unresolved recall issue or a recall repair failure that is not being properly corrected by authorized service centers.
