On [XXX], while traveling southbound on [XXX] south of Santee, South Carolina, my vehicle lost its passenger-side rear coil spring. I was towing a trailer and initially attributed the vehicle's low rear stance to the trailer’s weight. After arriving in Bluffton and returning the trailer, the rear remained low. I looked underneath the vehicle and discovered the missing spring. On [XXX], AutoNation CDJR Hilton Head confirmed the missing spring and refused to let me drive the vehicle, warning…

The vehicle experiences severe drivetrain binding, mechanical clunking, and erratic 4WD electronic timing failure while operating at normal driving speeds. During acceleration (27–28 mph, transitioning from D4 to D5 gear), the automatic 4WD transfer case / front axle disengages abruptly under load, causing an audible mechanical clunk and drive-line shock. During deceleration (31 mph down to 15 mph, downshifting from D6 to D4 gear), the 4WD system forces a re-engagement of the front axle,…

On XXX, while driving on a public roadway, my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee suddenly lost propulsion without warning. The vehicle stopped moving and refused to accelerate. The dashboard displayed a flashing red “D” and instructed me to shift into park. I genuinely feared for my life because the unexpected failure placed me at risk of a serious collision. This was the second occurrence of the same malfunction. Within the preceding year, the vehicle stopped moving and refused to accelerate in a…

the rear cross traffic warning and blind spot warning DO NOT ALARM if you have an iphone connected to Carplay when you start the car and that iphone is on silent. I would think that a critical safety feature like this would be completely separate from connected devices. I almost backed into a child crossing on a bike because of this failure. I contacted Jeep to let them know of this issue and got a vague email saying Jeep had evaluated the situation and declines to buy my vehicle back (which I…

1).While driving the message shows up: Vehicle is not in park. Then the motor shuts off (at any speed). This happened several times (I was on my way to take my wife to chemo infusions)! This is very dangerous when driving and caused almost an accident on the highway!!! 2), When turning the motor on, the seat moves into the pre-set drivers position, then moves back again and then the motor shots off. The car can't be driven then for a few minutes.

While driving in active traffic at approximately 6 PM, our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe experienced a catastrophic, sudden loss of propulsion/driving power with no prior warning. The vehicle would not switch to gas, completely died, and refused to restart even in e-Save mode. A dashboard warning appeared: 'plug in vehicle for battery conditioning.' We were stranded in an active lane of travel and nearly rear-ended before securing police assistance (911 call) and a AAA tow. This directly mirrors…
