2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk electrical system problems

“I am reporting a serious safety failure related to the ABS/ESC recall on my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Parts have not been available for over a year, and my vehicle has now experienced the dangerous conditions described in the recall. Before the failure, while stopped at a red light in Drive with my foot firmly on the brake, the vehicle suddenly rolled backward on its own. I had to forcefully press the brake to stop it. This should never happen and indicates brake system failure. About 10 minutes later, while driving on the highway, the vehicle experienced a sudden safety system failure. Multiple warning lights came on (ABS, ESC, brake system, check engine), the accelerator pedal became unresponsive, a burning smell came from the vehicle, and I temporarily lost control. I could not pull over immediately due to traffic, which created a very dangerous situation. The vehicle eventually became undriveable and required towing. I am thankful my children were not in the car. This is an extreme safety hazard. Stellantis still has no parts available and has not provided a repair or transportation option. This forces owners to choose between parking their vehicle…”

“The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact received a recall notification in November of 2024 for NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic).

While at a stoplight, the vehicle turned off and restarted. The local dealer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, who informed the contact that the recall repair would be available soon. The failure mileage was approximately 20,337.”

“While my wife was driving her Jeep, everything seemed to fail. All the gauges were gone, no speedometer, no functions working. Every warning light came on. Display stated not to shut off the engine as it may not restart. She stated nothing worked in the vehicle, turn signals, brake lights may not have been working. And what if this happened at night? Would the headlights have worked? She drove the vehicle to our local Jeep dealer where they were unable to "get it in for a week". I had the vehicle towed to another dealer about 30 miles away. I provided them with the error codes the first dealer pulled and a picture of her dash display. They stated the error didn't occur for them, they drove it 13 miles and no errors were detected so they said they cannot troubleshoot it. It was a major can bus failure. If this had been at night I wonder if the light would have even worked. Extremely unsafe not knowing if any of the systems would have functioned. I was told to call the Customer support line. This is a rabbit hole. All calls go to India, they way they will call you back with in 24 hours... NOT TRUE. After days of trying to call, I finally got in touch with…”

“Our 2019 Jeep has been experiencing symptoms since 2022, and Jeep has no resolution for it yet. I fear for the safety of my family riding in the vehicle, cannot use all the installed features (cannot remote start with check engine light on) and cannot sell it in its current condition due to this recall. Is there any solution in sight?”

“The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the passenger’s and driver's sidestep rail was lowering independently. Additionally, the rail on both sides of the vehicle remained in the raised position and failed to lower when the front doors were opened. The contact stated that the failure was occurring when the vehicle was stopped and while the vehicle was being driven. The contact stated there were no warning lights illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000.”

“In the cold weather, usually under 40degrees, sensors come on alerting me that stablisation is disabled, auto start/stop is disabled, check engine light comes on, parking brake illuminates and does not turn off while driving, cruise control does not work, radio information cluster intermittently works etc. It's seems to be all electrical. I have taken it to the dealership several times and they can't figure out what the issue is. At first they said the auxiliary battery was bad and I paid over $400 for a new battery and still have the same issues.”
