2024 Jeep Grand CherokeeRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“I am reporting repeated, sudden losses of motive power at highway speeds in my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (PHEV). The vehicle's propulsion, electrical, and engine systems completely shut down without warning, causing the car to randomly stop while cruising at 60 mph on the highway, creating an immediate and severe crash risk. Despite the authorized dealership (David Auto of Glen Mills, PA) claiming that all outstanding safety recalls regarding drive power loss were resolved, the defect has actually worsened. This critical failure has occurred on at least three separate occasions recently: Late September 2026: Initial sudden power loss while cruising at 60 mph on the highway. [XXX]: Second instance of sudden power failure at 60 mph on the highway. [XXX]: Third instance of complete power loss at 60 mph on the highway. The vehicle was carrying four occupants at the time, significantly compounding the severe safety hazard. The manufacturer and authorized dealerships have failed to permanently rectify this dangerous defect, and the authorized recall remedies, stated complete, clearly have not or did not fulfill the obligations of safety and what was notified and…”

“While driving on the freeway - the cars hybrid system shut off altogether and wouldn’t go above 60mph. This was during maneuvers in traffic that cause severe concern for passengers in the car including my [XXX] daughter and wife, along with other nearby drivers.”

“Vehicle experienced a sudden loss of motive power at highway speeds without warning. The vehicle lost total propulsion at 60mph with zero dashboard error text or warning lights. Driver pressed fully on gas pedal to avoid activating the regenerative braking system. Driver pumped gas pedal but no response from vehicle. Vehicle began to lose speed while operating on an Interstate Freeway in the dark (between 6a - 7a). Driver began shifting into Neutral and back to Drive which only restored power for one second before cutting out again. There are no text errors or engine indicating warnings or alerts. Vehicle stalled and driver put on hazards and slowly made way to the shoulder and nearest exit ramp which was ~2 mile from event start to exit ramp. Event happened September 18, 2026. Another identical event on the same stretch of Interstate reoccurred on October 2, 2026 which prompted owner to take to the dealership for diagnostic. Jeep dealership was unable to diagnose or duplicate the issue.”
