Electrical system

5 reports
“[Incident Description & System Failure] On XXX, at approximately 30,340 miles, hybrid propulsion and charging system completely failed while the vehicle was in motion. The vehicle suffered a sudden "Loss of Motive Power" and stalled completely on a public road. The vehicle was towed immediately and is currently inspection upon request. [Safety Risks Experienced] The vehicle suffered a catastrophic power failure and stalled suddenly in the middle of a public road. This created an immediate hazard for a severe rear-end collision. Furthermore, according to the manufacturer's official Safety Recall 68C (NHTSA 25V-741), this specific battery pack poses an unmitigated vehicle fire risk, threatened by both traffic hazards and potential thermal runaway. [Dealer Confirmation & Inspection Status] The defect has been officially reproduced, confirmed, and documented by an authorized dealer. Following the sudden stall, the vehicle was towed to McPeeks CDJR of [XXX] on XXX (Repair Order #XXX). The service advisor and technicians confirmed the failure, noting the active check engine light and red battery light. The vehicle is currently under inspection and storage at the…”

“This recall notice (26V-562) is the third time that Jeep has provided such a notice for precisely the same problem. On two previous occasions (24V-413 and 26V-051), the car was returned to the dealer and work was performed. Although Jeep appears to be following the guidelines for discovery and communication of a safety defect, the conclusion here is that the subject defect occurred in the design phase or in the assembly process at the factory, and, despite two recalls and the passage of at least four years, the problem has not been resolved on a reasonably timely basis. The traveling public remains at risk.”

“​Vehicle Information: ​Year / Make / Model: 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4xe ​Component(s) Involved: Engine / Hybrid Powertrain / Electrical System / Sudden Loss of Drive Power ​Current Mileage: Approximately 48,000mi ​Incident Summary ​I am filing this complaint because my 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4xe has developed a dangerous new defect following an official recall service: the engine completely dies while accelerating on the highway. ​I took my Jeep to an authorized dealership to have the safety recall performed for the engine shutdown issue. Before this recall work was completed, I had never experienced the vehicle dying on the highway. Since the recall "fix," however, the engine has cut out completely 4 separate times while accelerating at high speeds. The most recent time happened today (August 3, 2026). Losing all pedal response and motive power in fast-moving traffic with no warning is terrifying and creates an extreme hazard for myself and everyone around me. ​History of Vehicle Issues & Extended Shop Time ​This sudden highway stalling comes on top of severe, ongoing electrical problems that have plagued this Jeep. Altogether, the vehicle…”
