2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee LRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“On 10/5/26 our jeep grand cherokee was parked in our drive way with the ignition started and the car in the park position. While my mom was in the car in the drivers seat, the car accelerated forward at a rapid speed and left the park position. The car slammed into my garage and caused severe damage to my garage and the car. The car is a total loss. I submitted this information to the police and to the manufacturer.”

“Driving home from the dealer after they updated the software due to a service bulletin regarding the backup camera locking up, the automatic braking system applied the brakes while driving 75 mph down the interstate. Fortunately there was no one in front of or behind at the time. Took it to the dealer and they checked for error codes and none were found.”

“The occurrence happened 4 times. While driving when the accelerator is pushed, and not in an extreme way, the engine will rev to the maximum level, the transmission stopped working the car comes to a slow stop and the ignition must be switched off to stop the run away engine. Then restarted without incident. This has happened while making both left and right turns with and without cruise control on. Example: while driving on a 2 lane road with cruse control on the car in front slows to turn I apply the brakes, when applying minimal pressure to the accelerator pedal the engine revs to redline, the transmission stopes functioning and the vehicle coasts to a stop while in traffic with no forward movement possible. The engine revs without any input from the operator. Very dangerous have almost been rear ended 4 times by the traffic behind me. I feel this is a serious problem that may cause a serious life threatening accident. I will be requesting repair or replacement from the dealership under warranty and will report any findings to this organization. This needs to be addressed immediately as this is a serious life threatening issue.”
