2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT problems

“Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 67,000 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 237,277.”

“I brought my jeep in for a concern about an antifreeze leak on 1/3/25. I had 130,112 miles on my vehicle and was my warranty expired at 125,000 miles. They thought it was a water pump gasket at the time. I took my jeep back on 10/30/2025 and they confirmed a head leak, that wasn't checked last time. This is a safety issue since it has been confimed that other jeeps within same year have the same issue. If I am driving on the interstate and this issue got worse, then it will be a safety issue for everyone driving around me and me and my passengers in the vehicle as well. It has been inspected by Murray Dodge and Jeep. I have not gotten any warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to failure. First appeared before 1/3/25. I was 5,000 over my mileage- since I was a traveling RN at the time.”

“At approximately 54,000 miles the transmission is not shifting. I parked in a parking spot, go into a store. Then come out and the vehicle will not shift into park or reverse. The check engine light came on for the park by wire issue. These transmissions have been known to have rough shifting and my vehicle has been no exception. It’s shifted rough at low speeds and the eco mode and auto start/stop system have also made it feel less than smooth to drive.”

“The contact owns a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the air bag and seat belt failure warning lights were illuminated. After filling the fuel tank and attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed that the battery and fuse box water pump had failed and were replaced. The failure persisted. The dealer inspected the vehicle again and then diagnosed that the Occupant Restraint Control module had failed and caused the air bag to deploy inadvertently, failed to deploy, and needed to be replaced. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V046000 (Air Bags); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The manufacturer confirmed the VIN was not included. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 38,000.”

“I was driving on the freeway and the car stuttered and then stopped, had to get towed home found out the aux battery was bad, replaced that and brake hub and sensor on driver tire but abs. And anti swerve light. Also no cruise control. Screen says Fcw unavailable service required, also 4wf service.”

“The contact owned a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated the vehicle had been driven for three hours and parked. Moments later, the vehicle was restarted and while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration. While pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle did not stop and continued to accelerate forward, and the speed increased. While attempting to avoid driving into a river, the contact made a left turn and crashed into a tree. After crashing into the tree, the vehicle continued to accelerate forward and began to increase speed. The contact shifted the transmission shifter to the park position, and the vehicle was stopped. During the incident, no injuries were reported, a police report was taken the next morning, and the vehicle was towed to a nearby towing facility. The vehicle was later examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the failure was caused by a computer malfunction. No further information was available. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was 64,000.”
