“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…”
“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.”
“Full body electrical was replaced. System completely failed 2nd time leaving me stranded at work. First time it failed was at the car was Tiger Express Mt [XXX]. The vehicle eventually came back up after 8hrs of being stranded at the car wash for 2 days later the vehicle wouldn't start at all 11pm at CIC Wellsfargo campus on [XXX]. Vehicle was towed to Hendricks Jeep Dodge and Ram 9.8 and returned to me 10.9”
“The car has died 5 times in the past two years. It was bought brand new off the lot. Dealership says it is always an electrical/battery issue and then the car dies again. The car gets towed to the dealership each time and full inspections done. The car has been unusable for 20+ days out of 2 years.”
“Statement of Complaint: I am writing to file an official consumer protection complaint regarding a 2024 Jeep Cherokee 4xe that I recently leased. Throughout the duration of my lease possession, the vehicle suffered from persistent safety defects and unresolved manufacturer recalls that severely impacted its safety, reliability, and drivability. Despite multiple attempts to address these critical factory defects, the vehicle remained unreliable. On October 3, 2026, the vehicle was repossessed. I contend that the manufacturer and financing institution failed to provide a safe, merchantable vehicle as agreed upon in the lease contract, and that the financial loss and subsequent repossession stem directly from the vehicle’s manufacturing failures. Requested Resolution: I am requesting that the Attorney General's office investigate the consumer practices surrounding this lease. I am seeking a fair partial refund of the lease payments made while operating a known defective vehicle, as well as an equitable mediation of any outstanding post-repossession balance claims being made by the lender.”
“The whole vehicle is a safety issue. Have to park outside, cannot charge due to Manufacturer for safety. Numerous electrical issues with braking, electric and emergency braking. Have more pictures of messages with miles below it. Also a few more repair records.”
