I have a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4Xe that has been nothing but a lemon! There have been about 6 recalls, I've had to drive with no heat, or defrost in winter and once was out of state on a 4 hour trip! I live in SD and this was always with below freezing temps. Even after the defrost recall, I had issues with the heat not working. Recently, they fixed the battery recall and the very next day, the orange wrench comes on and says to fix electrical. Once, the car even quit on me and sometimes, our music won't play.
The dealership, Billion Automotive, has been horrible and does nothing about this and tells me they can try to fix it. They admit it's been in the repair shop so much they will let out of my lease, if I pay the fee! I don't want another Jeep and I just want out of my lease, with no further obligations and feel that should be taken care of by Chrysler for all of the times I've suffered with this car. I'm a realtor and a foster mom, so I drive a lot. Apparently, my Jeep didn't qualify for the buy back, maybe because it has 23,000 miles, but they wouldn't tell me the reason.

$60K plus car that night vision has never worked. Sway bar actually broke from only road use. Been to dealer 3 times for issues. Cv axle replacement, display screen replacement. Check engine light issue. Over $500 in rental fees. Called corporate for rental help for next appointment. No call back feature. Waited over 20min... got case #. Was told case worker call me back in 24hr. Did not happen. Called back, over 20 min wait again. Hung up. No call back feature a way for them to get people to give up. 4th Cherokee and most expensive by far. Lemon. This will be 3rd time trying to fix night vision. Frustration to say the least. The phone thing pisses me off the most. More than broke car.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. Lifter and camshaft failed then was repaired. 19 miles later at 65k miles spun crank bearing so replaced engine. 39k miles later this engine had lifter and camshaft failure even with 11 oil changes. All repairs out of warranty. I've paid tens of thousands on engine replacements and $7k on preventive maintenance, service and repairs. This jeep and Jeep/dealership ruined me in every way. Hemi 6.4 mds lifters are defective and should be recalled.

I truly thought I had bought a safe and reliable vehicle. Three weeks ago my Jeep's brakes failed while I was driving. I was approaching an intersection so I was fortunately already traveling at a very low speed to begin but when I pushed the brakes they were not stopping the car. I quickly released and pushed again and the brake pedal became extremely hard as it would be if the vehicle were not running. The car continued to move forward and I swerved into the left hand lane to barely avoid hitting a car that was in front of me in the middle lane. My jeep continued to go forward in the left turn lane and the whole time I am pushing on the brakes as hard as I possibly can and now knowing for sure that my jeep isn’t going to stop. I hit the back of an 18 wheeler which was the only vehicle in that turn lane stopped at the red light and this brought my jeep to a complete stop.
This was so terrifying. I cannot even put into words how horrific this feeling was. There was nowhere to go to avoid collision and coast to a stop. If the 18 wheeler had not been stopped at the light I would have rolled into the intersection and possibly been in a major collision. I had both of my children in the car with me and this was not a place on the road where I could stay safely in the vehicle. I put the car into park and then back into drive and this seemed to reset everything. I slowly drove thru the intersection and pulled immediately off of the road. I called the dealership where I had bought the car and had it towed to them.
I have tried to be patient and follow the warranty process and give both Chrysler Jeep and the dealership an opportunity to address this but they are not taking it seriously. I realize how my claim may sound to someone that wasn't driving the vehicle when it happened but it did happen so I am left with the reality that it will happen again. This is not a risk that I am willing to take with my safety, my children's safety or the safety of other drivers on the road.
I have a spotless driving record. No moving violations or accidents of any kind. I want to also mention that my car has full insurance coverage and the body damage to the jeep is not substantial. If this were a case of me having made a driving error I would simply call my insurance, pay my deductible, have the body damage repaired and move on with my life.
I definitely would not choose to go through the hardship of filing a warranty claim (which has been pointless by the way) and not having my vehicle indefinitely. I am 100% convinced that there is a defect be it electrical or mechanical that caused my brakes to spontaneously fail. The dealership called me today saying that they cannot replicate the issue and that Chrysler is instructing them to “release the vehicle” back to me but neither party the dealership and Chrysler care are both trying to avoid any liability. They will not guarantee that the vehicle is free of defect nor that it is safe to drive. They are basically just saying “Come drive it and see what happens” which is unbelievably gross negligence.
I am obviously not going to drive it again but I’m now according to Jeep stuck with a relatively new car that’s not safe to drive but it’s not their problem. I have asked Chrysler customer care to escalate my claim but they will not provide a supervisor's contact information and the dealership is pointing at Chrysler so it’s basically a huge circle and I’m sure that they are all hoping that I will just go away quietly but I can’t do that if they are not willing to provide a reasonable solution. Simply refusing to address a problem or claiming inability to find the problem is not a solution.
It is 2024 and we all know that the manufacturer's of these high tech cars have the capabilities to view in great detail anything and everything on a car. I have provided them the exact time and date that the brake failure occurred and yet I am being asked to believe and accept that since the dealership’s service tech couldn’t replicate the issue in the dealerships parking lot that it can’t be diagnosed.

Jeep I used to admire the Jeep brand. After purchasing my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee back in 2020, I have experienced nothing but issue after issue. I've already spent a couple thousand dollars on a fuel line repair that is a known defect of this unit. No assistance from Jeep. Currently, my radio touchscreen is delaminating (safety hazard and a known defect) and causing the volume to turn on full blast out of nowhere and to ghost dial 911 and SOS. Jeep Customer Care is refusing to assist. My leather dashboard is also wrinkling and bubbling (another known defect for this model). Jeep's "Customer Care" has been rude and unhelpful. They lied to me, changed their mind about providing payment assistance, and hung up on me multiple times. I am begging for someone to make this situation right.

If I could give 0 stars I would. We purchased a low mileage used Jeep Grand Cherokee L that was still under warranty. Of the 200 days we have had the car, it has been in service in total for over 85 days and counting. Always for the same issue, something is draining the battery and it won't start. The dealership cannot figure it out and Corporate gives you the runaround. I've filed two claims with Jeep Customer Service. I tried snail mail and email. And no response. I tried calling customer service multiple times, whatever you do, don't let them auto call you back because they never do. I was told 20 minutes and it's been over an hour now I'm on hold again.

This is a piece of garbage vehicle, there are cooks obviously running the manufacturing operation since 5 visits to the dealership in order to take care of transmission issues have all ended up futile. There is recklessness on their behalf as they are jeopardizing the lives of thousands of people who unfortunately have to drive their defective vehicles.
This brand new car was taken in with less than 4000 miles on the engine for transmission dangers including rapid speed drop while on local ways as well as the highways. This put the lives of my 3 children and the life of my wife in direct danger, and of course my own life. Our health was put in jeopardy. One of the many visits to the dealership for a duration of 75 days. What am I supposed to do when my brand new cars needs 3 months to get back on the road only to go back to the dealership another 4 times within the span of 12 months. The loan car they gave me while it was at the dealership is the same model and same year and has the same issues as my car, which led me to just park the loan car and use another car completely. There is even more to the story but it is just a miserable experience with a fraudulent model made by a farce of a manufacturer. I will be seeing them in court.

I have had Grand Cherokees for the last 25 years, 5 different vehicles. As a female, I always want newer vehicles for safety and reliability reasons. I currently have one vehicle, a 2020 Grand Cherokee Limited. Which I would say is relatively new. I had to tow it to a dealership, Dick Scott Motor Mall in Fowlerville, MI for a Monday morning service., it would not go into gear. It was not diagnosed until Tuesday, which then had to have a part ordered and it did not come in until Wednesday. This is already 1 day lost now. They said they fixed the issue on Wednesday. When I picked it up, it was not working, the same problem, I never made it out of their driveway. They are still working on it Thursday, without diagnosing the problem, cannot find the problem. What can I do to get a repaired vehicle? I am desperate. This truly shakes my faith in the Jeep product. What if this was your family member? I truly need a vehicle that I can drive.

I own a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I keep my vehicles for many years, especially when I like them. Unfortunately, Chrysler is now off my list. Dealership and corporate customer service are basically non-existent. Here's my story. Back just before COVID popped up, I had a recall for a part that was defective. It was the dashboard leather cover. I took my car into the local dealership (I10 in Indio, CA) and they took pictures and said it qualified for the recall. I took my car in for service a couple more times in the next few months and asked about the recall - they stated I shouldn't expect anything soon, since there were delays due to COVID. This went on for two years - every time I asked, they would tell me "When your part comes in, you'll be notified". Turns out they never ordered it. And now they are denying any knowledge.
I spoke to Amrit with Stellantis Case Management who requested I send information on the encounter with the dealership. I had very little, since I thought they were taking care of it. I submitted what I had and then waited. After a month, I contacted them for a status update, but never heard back. Then I got an email to rate their service. After leaving a bad review for their customer care experience, I was contacted by Caitlin of the Jeep Customer Engagement Team. Of course they are denying all responsibility as well. No more Chrysler for me - they don't stand behind their product.

I have a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it is the awful. It has had the stereo replaced 2x, broke down losing power due to a bad cylinder and now the automatic emergency brake comes on when I try and backup with nothing around me. The dealership can't find the issue and has just said to shut the feature off so that it doesn't come back on. That's not a fix!!! I contact Stellantis the Retention dept for Jeep and they offered me a CDI which is a voucher to received a discount that they say is a discount from employee pricing or 5% off invoice. That is a lie.
I have been to 2 different dealerships and neither would explain what the CDI discount actually is. They just make up numbers and try and sell you the same vehicle for more money and then include additional feature that I would not want to purchase at a dealership. Since the dealership cant mimic the issue they have offered no fix other than shutting the feature off but isn't this a safety feature? I have tried to call Stellantis back and they can't explain the CDI but just say keep going to different dealerships until you find one that will work with you. I am now stuck with this POS for 2 more years or I will have to suck it up and take a loss and trade it in. DO NOT BUY A JEEP PRODUCT!!!

I purchased a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and love it. The local dealers in the Sandhills region of NC where I live are great. However, I recently got a recall notice regarding a safety issue driving with a defective coil. I took my jeep in for the required inspection and it was confirmed my vehicle was affected. Then I was told by two different jeep dealers that they can only order a Limited amount of these coils and you have to wait for weeks to get one. Meanwhile I gave a cross country trip to take coming up and have been told it's a safety issue to drive the jeep as is with the defective part. So I called Jeep headquarters and explained my situation. They stated they cannot expedite the part for my trip which is a month away and they do not offer rental assistance. This is not acceptable for paying thousands of dollars for a new vehicle that should be safe to drive.

I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee in October 2022. 5 months, 6,500 miles later, it breaks down in the middle of nowhere. The dealership has run the initial diagnosis and can't figure out what's wrong with it. There's no ETA on when they can do further diagnostics on it. I haven't had a vehicle all week. The dealership doesn't have a loaner program. I've been wasting hours of my time on the phone with Jeep trying to get a car rental under their base warranty, but they're telling me I have to pay for the car rental. Disappointing paying $52k for a new vehicle, only to have it break down and the manufacturer doesn't care about the customer or stand behind their product.

Battery died on me 4 times within 1 year. Their Premium Customer Service is not premium at all!! They are awful. They do not return calls, they can't even provide a loaner. Who will reimburse me for the time lost, not working?! Imagine having a vehicle that is so unreliable that you pray each morning that it actually starts and you can live your life. That is what my experience has been. Even after being in a shop and getting a "brand new" battery, I am still struggling. They have faulty batteries; they are very aware of the issue but continue to sell cars at high prices, calling themselves "Luxury". I do not recommend buying or leasing this Car.

Worst Service Department: I bought my Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 back in 2020 and last year in October 2022 I brought it for service because I started feeling noises and vibrations from the front transmission. They found a play in the inner and outer tie rods and because I bought an extended warranty, the dealer supposed to take care of that. But guess what, no parts were available and today February 2023 I'm still waiting for those. The communication/response from the service department has been poor. I sent many emails ang got response just for 2 saying in a roughly manner that the parts are not available yet. I got the Service Manager name but not his number because when I called, someone told me that his number was not available. I just kept the communication with the service rep Alejandro **.
There is no way of communication by phone. The service rep never pick the phone up. I had to go personally to ask for status. I think this is not acceptable. I like the vehicle a lot, however I've started thinking of getting my car repaired and then, to trade it for any other more reliable brand. Please avoid Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler. No parts are available and the communication with the service department is very very bad.

The screen in my jeep has a “bubble” in it. I went to the dealership and they admitted it was a known issue and said it was a 1500 fix that they would not cover unless it became a recall. I pushed, questioning why they would not cover a manufacturer issue that they know is going on. They would not do anything aside from repeat that they are aware of the issue but I could pay and “maybe” be reimbursed if it actually becomes a recall.

Having enjoyed my 1st car being a 1997 TJ Wrangler I opted to purchase again when it came time to get a more family friendly vehicle. I purchased a 2012 Overland Summit Grand Cherokee with Saddle interior. It is an ok car, the electrical system has failed twice resulting in a tow both times with about 3 weeks of downtime trying to schedule the repairs both times. While the transmission is still holding in it has made large clunking sounds when engaging into gear about 3 months after purchase and seems like it is designed to fail after 100k miles.
The interior has been my biggest letdown. I purchased a high trim model specifically for the interior. The color is rubbing off the tan leather in the high wear locations but the glue holding the dash in place has completely released and the leather dash has now become a loose piece of leather laying there. I spoke with our local dealer who said this was a known issue and said extended warranty X81 would cover this repair. After scheduling a replacement (1 year out) I patiently waited for the repair. When the year came up they said the parts were delayed and that is was still several months out, I again patiently waited. At this point the dealer said that the issue was now a corporate issue where they told me that the term (which I was in during the initial warranty) had expired and they will no longer support this.
The cheap plastic base model would have lasted longer than the higher trim and I am super frustrated with how Chrysler handled the repairs. I look forward to supporting new companies such as Tesla for challenging the industry norms that many companies have fallen into with age producing cheap products and only looking at the bottom line. I am glad the dealership model is being challenged and I hope to never deal with a dealership again. I was a once great fan of this brand and am sad to say that is no longer the case.

I love my Jeep except for the quality and the horrible dealer service. Seriously you spend almost 70K on a Grand Cherokee and they do not even provide loaners. As much as I love driving my Jeep I will be trading it in on another car instead of getting another Jeep. I wanted the Grand Wagoneer but not now. What kind of idiot would spend 100K on a Jeep with a ** warranty and ** dealer service. My seat frame breaks on mine and they have fixed it twice. It breaks within 1 day. I have had a Cadillac, Chevy Colorado, VW and never a problem with the seat and they all provided loaners.

I have owned seven Jeeps over 40 years and loved them all. I bought a new 2019 Jeep Altitude. Two days into having this new car I started getting "weather alerts" popping up on my center console screen. After exhaustive research I was told these alerts could not be disabled. I checked the Jeep forums as well. The complaints were overwhelming. These alerts are usually for counties 3 to 6 hours away. They usually are wind and storm warnings. I receive on average 20 of these alerts a week. I have to each time take my eyes off the road and press the box acknowledging that I've seen the alert.
I've now had the car 21 months and have received over 1600 weather alerts, all having absolutely NOTHING to do with where I was located. This is without a doubt the most annoying "feature" ever pushed onto the car buying public. Read the on-line reviews. People are seriously upset with this and have every right to be. The dealer knew of this when I bought the car and said nothing. This feature is on all Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep products. Again, it cannot be disabled. Lastly, I seriously suspect this was "invented" or "perpetrated" by an individual that was born in the 90's, avoids all human interaction, lives on their "smart phone" while still living with their mother.

I've had 6 Jeep Grand Cherokees so when my last one had the head gasket go at just over 200,000 I bought a certified preowned 2017 without thinking twice. My bad. This car is so badly designed that after two weeks I am looking for another car. For one thing, the hum of the engine is so loud that it makes my head hurt, especially at low speeds. The sound quality of the radio is horrible and the hands free is practically unusable and the UConnect flips back to the phone and shuts off intermittently.
Moreover, all the important things such as radio, climate control, require multiple steps and the information you need to see is so small it's hard to read. The interior design has absolutely no place to put anything; I've lost my phone 4 times already because I need to put it on the passenger seat. No place for change, lipstick, or small items we routinely carry and the storage on the doors is so narrow and deep you can't put your hand in it. Anything you put there is lost forever.
The car has also failed to start every morning for the last week and has required a jump start. The dealer, who has serviced every one of my cars, is flummoxed. The aerodynamics are terrible; I feel like I'm in an echo chamber. First car in 54 years of driving and more than 30 years of Jeeps that I can honestly say I hate. I'm already shopping for another vehicle; I don't care if I take a hit because I spend on average 4 hours a day in a car and I find myself dreading getting into it.

We are now on our 4th radiator in our 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The dealership states no damage to the radiator other than leaking at the seams. I contacted Jeep and they opened a case. I spoke to the RUDEST Senior Case specialist named Phyllis. All I wanted to know is why we keep having this issue. All she would tell me is that they buy their parts from a third party vendor. She needs another job other than dealing with the public. I will think twice before ever buying a Jeep product.

Relatively new, 6000 miles, Jeep Grand Cherokee. 3 different occasions did not start. Towed to dealer, they kept 9 days. Could not solve it. Told me to come get the car, they could not fix. They said could be this, could be that. I said well start with theory one and replace the part. Dealer informed me Jeep will not let them do this, they must know for sure.
I said so late one night I could be stranded again. Wait 1 1/2 hours forJeep to show up to tow again. Back to square one then. They said yes. Jeep will not stand behind their product so who knows how many times I will be stranded before they find exact cause.

On February 12, 2020, I was in a major accident that should have cost me a lot more than a vehicle. I was hit in the driver's door by a dump truck at 60mph. Thankfully I was in my Jeep! The frame took the force of the blow and it slid 50 yards before it came to a stop beside an electrical pole. While my Jeep was totalled, I was lucky enough to walk away with only a few scratches and bruises. I think I have sold all my friends and family on how safe Jeeps are. My son has asked for one for his 16th birthday and I think it's a wonderful idea. Just wanted to say Thank you, had I been in our van I wouldn't have made it.

I love the way the Jeep Grand Cherokee Looks and drives. I have had several issues, that some might overlook in the car buying mindset, however will come to bite them in the end. They include, Eco Engine Failure (had to replace engine - $5,000), computer issues (multiple) some would leave me stranded because I could not start Jeep. Cannot replace headlights without removing front bumper, dealership will replace for $300. Battery placement is under front passenger seat. Finally, dash looks great but cannot handle Texas heat, Jeep will not replace dash as it is not covered are a recall item. If you like flashy then Jeep is your car. If you like dependability, you might want to reconsider. If you like keeping your money, find a different vehicle.
