What owners say about the suspension

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“Ever since 68c recall the vehicle no longer operates as it did. There is not enough power in emergency situations and definitely not safe. Also there is a known issue with the sway bar that rattles and sounds like I am dragging something under the vehicle. This was replaced once but same problem returned again after a few months.”

“On [XXX], while traveling southbound on [XXX] south of Santee, South Carolina, my vehicle lost its passenger-side rear coil spring. I was towing a trailer and initially attributed the vehicle's low rear stance to the trailer’s weight. After arriving in Bluffton and returning the trailer, the rear remained low. I looked underneath the vehicle and discovered the missing spring. On [XXX], AutoNation CDJR Hilton Head confirmed the missing spring and refused to let me drive the vehicle, warning that doing so put me in grave danger. The repair cost exceeded $1,300. A detached rear coil spring presents an evident safety hazard: it can compromise the vehicle's handling and control, and the spring itself can become a dangerous roadway obstacle or projectile, threatening other motorists. I subsequently received a recall notice addressing this issue—the third rear coil spring recall since production of this model year began. Jeep has refused reimbursement because the incident occurred before the recall. Jeep has also refused to acknowledge that the driver-side rear coil spring still requires inspection and any necessary repair under the recall.”

“I received a letter that there was a recall on my vehicle. The letter also stated there was no remedy and that all cars may not be effected. I took my car to the dealership and had it checked out and learned one of the rear coil springs is indeed bowed out and not particularly safe to drive.”

“The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V562000 (Suspension); however, the remedy parts were not yet available to complete the recall repair. A dealer was contacted and confirmed that the remedy parts were not yet available. The dealer referred the contact to the manufacturer for further assistance. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time to provide a remedy for the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and offered to have the contact pay out of pocket for the repair of the vehicle.”

“While driving my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited at approximately 25 mph in October 2025, the right rear coil spring unexpectedly ejected from the vehicle. I immediately felt the vehicle drop and become unstable. Although I was able to maintain my lane, I believe the relatively low speed was an important factor in my ability to maintain control. I subsequently retrieved the detached coil spring from the roadway and photographed the components and affected suspension. This failure occurred despite the vehicle having previously completed FCA safety recall 64A on July 17, 2023. An authorized Jeep dealership later confirmed that the right rear coil spring and isolators were missing and replaced the components under my extended service contract. I was required to pay a $250 deductible. I am concerned that the vehicle experienced the precise safety hazard the original recall was intended to prevent. Had this occurred at highway speeds, the potential consequences could have been substantially more severe.”

“The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped at a stop sign, there was a sound as if the vehicle had been rear-ended. The contact became aware that the spring and a rubber mount had detached and fallen from the rear passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact picked up the parts and moved the vehicle off the road. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, and the contact was informed about NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V562000 (Suspension). The dealer was contacted; however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.”
