2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee owner complaints (15)

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  Our sunroof completely shattered for no reason. We were not hit by or with anything, we did not hit any objects, it just spontaneously broke. Thankfully our interior shade was pulled, otherwise we would have been showered with shards of glass. It is available for inspection. Our safety was put at risk as we were on a freeway, in traffic & the loud sound it made scared us, it sounded like a very close gun shot. We had to pull over to see what happened. We took it to the Jeep dealer where we bought it & they told us they have never seen this happen before & there's nothing they can do. There were absolutely no symptoms prior to this happening. It was not overly hot or cold outside. (73 degrees & dry).

• AIR BAGS

  I was driving at approximately 30 - 35mph when another car went through a stop sign causing a head on collision. I did not see the other car, therefore had no time to brake or maneuver away - the collision happened at the full speed I was driving. The damage to the car is directly in the center and towards the right side of the front of vehicle where the airbag sensors are located. The airbags did not deploy. I was restrained by my seatbelt.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  While flat towing this vehicle there was a failure that caused the brakes to melt down and almost start a vehicle fire. The proper process for flat towing for both the vehicle and the brake buddy classic 3 system were followed. The dealership would not provide the data log report which would explain the cause of the problem, but just blame the towing system. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act they are required to show proof of the fault.

• STRUCTURE

  The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while their wife was coasting into the driveway at approximately 5 MPH, a panel underneath the dashboard, near the steering wheel, detached, blocking the brake pedal, causing the contact's wife to crash into a nearby tree where the vehicle came to a stop. The air bags did not deploy. The driver did not sustain any injury. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,067.

• STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE

  The jeep is towed behind our camper. When the camper truck turns, the wheels on the jeep stay straight and drag the jeep through the turn sideways. On a highway off ramp with a curve at higher speed the jeep wants to pull the camper off the edge. Lane assist is off but I was forced to pick something below. The issue is with the jeep steering not tracking behind the camper causing a hazardous condition going on curves. The wheels turn with the steering wheel but not when being towed. All procedures to flat tow are being followed per the owners manual. There is a technical service bulletin published in May 2025 by Chrysler about “dragging” tires and it is not resolved.

• ENGINE

  The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds the engine had suddenly revved very high and the RPMs had increased but the vehicle had failed to accelerate and began to reduce speed. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder and parked. After restarting the engine the vehicle operated as normal. The contact indicated that the failure had occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable the diagnosed a problem and no service was performed. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 3,600.

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I am writing to formally report a serious safety issue with my brand-new Jeep Grand Cherokee (got it from DARCARS Rockville, MD dealership) and to request immediate resolution under warranty and applicable consumer protection laws. I purchased this vehicle with the expectation of reliability, safety, and comfort for my family. Unfortunately, within a very short period of ownership, the vehicle has experienced repeated and dangerous failures. On 17th April 2026, while traveling at approximately 65 mph on a highway in Pennsylvania around 1:00 AM, the vehicle suddenly shut down without warning. This created an extremely hazardous situation for my family. We contacted roadside assistance, but no help arrived until approximately 8:00 AM. Due to freezing temperatures and lack of heat in the vehicle, we were forced to call 911 for assistance and were transported to a nearby hotel around 3:30 AM. The vehicle was subsequently towed to a dealership, where diagnostics were performed. We were informed that the issue was related to a coding or malfunction and that it had been resolved. However, just two days later, while returning home, the exact same issue occurred again under similar conditions—vehicle shutdown at highway speed. Once again, we were stranded at night, forced to rely on emergency services, and did not reach home until approximately 4:30 AM. This pattern of failure is unacceptable and represents a severe safety defect. My family’s safety was put at significant risk on two separate occasions. As a result, we have completely lost confidence in the vehicle’s reliability and safety. Immediate escalation of this case and a full technical investigation A written explanation of the root cause of these failures A permanent resolution to ensure this issue cannot recur Consideration of a manufacturer buyback or replacement under applicable Lemon Law provisions

• AIR BAGS

  Was in a head on collision with a lifted Silverado. my vehicle going 35 and other vehicle approximately going 50, took out almost my entire front driver side. No air bags Went off, accident happened @5:55am jeep app says “air bag failure” @ 6:08am

• POWER TRAIN

  During a cross country trip we exited the highway and noticed a grinding sound from our new 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We then limped to a near-by Jeep dealer who diagnosed a bad transmission. We feel very lucky this did not occur on the highway as a crash may have occurred due to the manufacturer defect. The transmission has been replaced after a delay of 35 days. The mileage at the time of the incident was 3,135.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  While driving approximately 70 mph on the highway, my 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe experienced a sudden and complete loss of power without warning. This created a dangerous situation with risk of collision. The vehicle is also subject to an active recall related to high-voltage battery fire risk, which prevents safe charging and normal hybrid operation. Additionally, at approximately 12,000 miles, the vehicle developed a transmission pump failure requiring repair. Due to these combined issues, I do not feel the vehicle is safe to operate, particularly when transporting my children. This incident represents a serious safety concern involving loss of propulsion at highway speeds.

• STRUCTURE

  The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the tailgate was inoperable. While in the rear of the vehicle, his wife pressed the tailgate button, and the tailgate forcibly closed without warning. The contact sustained an injury to the top of the head that made him fall to the ground, where he lay injured for approximately 20 minutes; medical attention was provided at the clinic and a hospital. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unfamiliar with the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and assigned an inspector from Bosch who was unable to keep the tailgate raised. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

• VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "Auto Emergency Braking Limited - Service Required" was displayed with an audible chime. Additionally, the cruise control became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who reprogrammed the CADM. After retrieving the vehicle, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 4,800.

• BACK OVER PREVENTION

  I am having issues with the screen in my vehicle going black. The dealership repair facility keeps pushing me to Case Number S258A000007 and says that my rear camera and safety features are not impacted, but as you can see from the video and pictures, they are. I have tried contacting the manufacturer with no return call. The dealership repair facility said they will not touch my vehicle, so I am left with an intermediate safety feature issue.

• FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  Subject: Forward Collision Warning Plus and Advanced Brake Assist Failure – 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo I am reporting a safety defect involving the Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus and Advanced Brake Assist systems on my 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. The vehicle does not provide forward collision warnings or apply assistive braking in situations where a collision is imminent. On multiple occasions, a vehicle in front of me slowed or stopped while turning into a driveway or parking lot. My Jeep provided no visual alert, no audible warning, and no braking assistance. I had to manually brake to avoid rear‑ending the other vehicles. I brought the vehicle to the dealership. During testing, the system could not be activated on my Jeep. We then tested another Jeep of the same model and year; its system also failed to activate until we were within approximately three feet of the vehicle ahead. My Jeep never activated at any distance. The dealership stated that because Adaptive Cruise Control slows the vehicle when active, the collision warning and brake assist systems must also be functioning. This explanation is inconsistent with how these systems are designed to operate, and it does not address the failure of the Forward Collision Warning Plus system to activate in real‑world or controlled conditions. This appears to be a systemic failure of the collision‑avoidance technology on this model, creating a significant risk of rear‑end collisions.
