2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L problems

“Infotainment system with back up camera and comfort systems, hands free etc has a crack in the screen that occurred overnight with no severe changes in weather and no physical damage occurring to prompt large crack starting in the plastic surround and spidering into the glass screen. Unable to effectively use screen or back up camera or other safety features contained within the unit.”

“This car slams the breaks to a stop in the middle of an intersection while turning left with other cars across the intersection also turning left. It thinks we will hit but we are not going to. This has happened twice. Luckily, the driver behind us was paying attention both times and also slammed their brakes, avoiding a collision.”

“While driving 45mph along a straight, open highway my vehicle suddenly shifted itself to park and stopped itself abruptly. I was then unable to shift the car out of park or move the brake or gas pedal or turn off the vehicle. This lasted for approximately 15 minutes and the car would not let me open the doors. All the dashboard lights were illuminated and my driver display screen stated if I took my foot off the brake the car would reverse. Eventually after 15 minutes of trying to shift and turn off the car it did shut off.”

“On XXX at approximately 630pm during rush-hour traffic crossing the XXX on [XXX], my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited L (11,800 miles) the brake pedal went to the floor and the vehicle would not stop normally. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. This created a dangerous situation in heavy traffic with my child in the car and could have easily led to a collision. The vehicle was promptly taken to the closest authorized Jeep dealer. They diagnosed a Brake Vacuum Booster failure along with Diagnostic Trouble Code P057B-00 (Brake Pedal Position Sensor related). I have video footage of the symptom occurring and photos of the repair diagnosis. This is a new vehicle with very low mileage, and this unexpected failure raises serious safety concerns about potential defects in the brake system. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter to determine if it affects other 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokees. Vehicle Information: • Make/Model/Year: Jeep Grand Cherokee 2024 • VIN: [XXX] • Mileage at time of failure: 11,800 miles • Date of purchase: 11/1/2024 No injuries or crash occurred, but the safety risk was SIGNIFICANT.”

“The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. While the contact's wife was parking the vehicle, the gear shifter was shifted to park(P), and the engine revved very high. No warning lights were illuminated. The failure had occurred three times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated, but the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle independently accelerated, and the contact slammed on the brake pedal to slow the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road. The vehicle was turned off, but could be restarted independently. The contact stated that the failure was a persistent failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. The contact was informed that there were no fault codes retrieved. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 12,500.”

“My car shutdown from automatic braking and would not move, crank or engage into neutral. I was driving, turning at an intersection with the flow of traffic. Cars on both sides of me and behind me. It shut down as we were driving with no warning and would not start or move. My steering wheel locked. I had my childr j in the car and we were stranded in the middle of a crowded highly trafficked road and its nowhere to go and no way of moving out of the way.”
