SUSPENSION 2026-09-21 · NHTSA 11765769

I was driving my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the rear passenger side suspension spring came out of my car and caused significant damage to the underside of my vehicle. I was traveling at or around 60 miles per hour. The vehicle is currently sitting at the dealership awaiting repair. The dealership stated that the damage was the result of a recall on my vehicle. Recall number 89D NHTSA campaign number 26V562. There was no warning before or when the incident occurred. The dealership stated that the damage is around 4000.00.

I am filing a complaint regarding the front fascia/bumper on my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The front fascia is separating and developing a visible gap near the headlight and adjoining body panel. I contacted Jeep Customer Care and was told there was no recall for this condition and to have the vehicle inspected by a Jeep dealership. A dealer later suggested the condition could possibly be related to prior body damage or repair based on panel alignment and possible paintwork. However, I have not been provided documentation identifying a specific damaged component or establishing that prior damage caused the current separation. I subsequently learned that Stellantis issued STAR Online Case S2223000075, “Front Fascia Cover Gaps And Or Poor Fitment,” addressing front fascia fitment concerns. My vehicle is experiencing separation/gapping in this same general area. I have also personally observed and photographed several other Grand Cherokees displaying similar-looking gaps near the fascia/headlight area. I do not know their accident or repair histories and cannot state that they have the same cause. I am requesting that NHTSA review this complaint with any similar reports and determine whether the fascia attachment system, retainers, mounting tabs, clips, brackets, or related components can allow the fascia to progressively separate during normal use. I am concerned that this may extend beyond a cosmetic issue if the fascia or associated components can become loose while driving. I have photographs, dealer information, and Jeep Customer Care documentation available upon request.

I was driving down that interstate where I felt that back end of the Jeep drop. I did not hit a bump or anything. When I got out of the vehicle I noticed a significant drop in the height of the vehicle. At first I though something happened with the shocks. My vehicle was repaired with the recall 23V413 however for some reason it didn't make 26V051 recall. I took it to the dealership and they said since it wasn't on the 26V051 recall they would not fix it. I think the repair for the 23V413 did not hold or work and this could cause significant problems. I'm not sure where the coil fell off but I think could cause significant damage or injury if it flew off and hit another vehicle or caused me to have significant steering issues on the interstate. The dealership did confirm that the rear coils did fail.

CRITICAL VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT - CHRONIC MULTI-SYSTEM DEFECTS The vehicle is a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe operating under severe chronic safety non-compliance. The vehicle has an active, un-remedied engine block casting sand contamination fire/loss of propulsion and crash risk (FCA 78C / NHTSA 25V-766) listing 'Parts Unavailable.' It also carries an open side-curtain airbag deployment failure recall (NHTSA 26V-328). Furthermore, the vehicle experiences intermittent climate control and HVAC failures where the heating, air conditioning, and windshield defroster loops completely disable while in motion on the highway. This directly mirrors the safety vulnerabilities detailed in federal recall 24V-111 (FCA 04B), where faulty hybrid control processor software leaves the front windshield defogger inoperable. When this occurs, the windshield instantly fogs over at high speeds, resulting in an unrecoverable, immediate loss of forward visibility. In addition, temperatures in the summer are between 100 and 120 degrees. Having no air conditioning during this time is a health and safety concern. Dealership technicians state they 'cannot replicate' the issue, forcing me to operate a vehicle that routinely violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 571.103. Operating this highly volatile hybrid asset on a regular 4.5-hour remote highway commute to act as a caregiver for an elderly parent presents a life-threatening environment. The vehicle is a severe liability threat due to active fire and crash risk, structural airbag failure, and sudden visibility blinding.

At the end of March 2026, the hybrid battery was replaced due to a recall by the dealership. After this, several software updates done, including the BCM, per technician's notes. In May 2026, my vehicle was found bricked in my driveway, unable to jump start, giving warnings regarding the dual charging system. After being towed to the dealership, they found my 12v battery was dead and stated that it needed to be replaced, which was done, with no further testing per technician's notes. Six weeks later, in July 2026, my vehicle was found bricked in my driveway again, giving the same warnings on the dashboard as it did in May. Once towed to the dealership again, with further parasitic testing, they found a "TSB about improper BCM software causing the 12v systems battery to be drained, as well as the kombi flickering which was also experienced while vehicle was in shop. TSB stated the BCM needs to be flashed." (taken from the technician's notes). As the dealership explained it to me, my vehicle failed to receive an update for the BCM, causing this glitch to drain my 12v battery. Due to my vehicle exceeding the 36,000-mile warranty, the dealership forced me to pay for the work done in both May and July, in addition to paying for a rental car while my vehicle was in the shop, even though the cause of this problem originated from the manufacturer, and was no cause of mine.

Upon pulling over to the side of the road and inspecting the vehicle, the contact's husband noticed that the rear passenger-side coil spring had detached and was ejected from the vehicle. The driver drove the leaning vehicle to the dealer via a side road; however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to the dealer for a recall repair under NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V051000 (Suspension), but the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle passed inspection and no repairs were needed. The contact stated that the failure occurred while on vacation, which required the contact to obtain a rental vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and denied vehicle rental assistance. The contact stated that both the dealer and the manufacturer failed to return phone calls. The failure mileage was approximately 61,600.

STRUCTURE 2026-06-18 · NHTSA 11745046

I am requesting that NHTSA investigate a potential safety defect affecting 2022-present Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles involving failure of the front bumper retention clamps. Owners of these vehicles are reporting that the front bumper mounting clamps begin to crack, break, or fail at approximately 30,000 miles — often occurring just after the basic warranty period expires. These components appear to be inadequate for their intended purpose and are critical to maintaining proper bumper attachment. This issue is widely discussed among Jeep owners, yet the manufacturer has not issued a recall, service campaign, or permanent repair solution. Instead, owners are being forced to pay hundreds of dollars to replace or repair a failure caused by what appears to be a low-cost component that does not meet the durability requirements expected of a safety-related exterior vehicle part. A detached or partially detached front bumper creates a potential road hazard. A bumper that separates while driving could fall onto the roadway, creating a danger for other motorists and increasing the risk of additional crashes. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate: The frequency and mileage range of front bumper clamp failures on 2022-present Jeep Grand Cherokee models. Whether the bumper retention components meet durability and safety standards. Whether Jeep/Stellantis was aware of this issue and failed to provide an adequate remedy. Whether a recall or safety campaign is necessary to prevent bumpers from becoming roadway hazards. Please review this matter before additional failures result in property damage, crashes, or injuries. Thank you for your attention to this potential safety defect.

Rear right coil spring violently detached and flew across my garage. Fortunately we were not driving it on the Florida Turnpike at the time and none of my family was in the garage when it explosively ejected. We took it to the dealership, Napleton’s Jeep, on February 23, 2026 for its annual service and explicitly directed them to repair or correct any recalls. They said they could not perform the coil spring repair because “Parts Not Available” but assured us it had been inspected and was determined to not be defective or a risk. This is VERY disturbing because it could have killed us if we had been driving at the time and could have seriously injured or killed someone if it had exploded free when people were nearby (ex: in the garage, grocery store parking lot, club parking lot, etc.). There are no warning lamps to even advise that something has occurred - other than finding the enormous spring that put a giant dent in my garage door. I have multiple major work matters, an 8 figure mediation and two court hearings, which require me to drive to Fort Lauderdale this week so I had to spend $50 on an Uber to get a rental car last night and $210 on the rental car.

I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding my hybrid Jeep vehicle due to ongoing and unresolved safety issues that present a significant risk to myself and others. Since the beginning of ownership, I have experienced repeated and escalating problems with the vehicle, including: * Hybrid system malfunction warnings and persistent red wrench indicator * Aggressive and unsafe gear shifting while driving * Vehicle stalling unexpectedly * Vehicle intermittently failing to turn on or shut off properly In addition to these critical concerns, my vehicle has been under Recall 68C since October 2025. To date, there has been no available remedy provided. I have been explicitly instructed not to park the vehicle in a garage or near structures and to avoid charging the vehicle due to an increased risk of fire. This situation has created significant hardship and safety concerns. I am unable to safely use or store my vehicle as intended. I have also been informed that potential fire damage related to this issue may not be covered by homeowners insurance, further increasing the risk and liability I am being forced to assume. Despite repeated attempts to address these issues through proper channels, including dealership service visits and manufacturer communication, no resolution has been provided. This vehicle poses a clear safety hazard due to: * Risk of fire associated with the hybrid battery system * Unpredictable stalling and drivetrain behavior while in operation * Lack of manufacturer remedy for an active safety recall I am requesting immediate investigation, accountability, and corrective action to ensure the safety of consumers affected by this issue

I am reporting a systemic safety failure involving a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee sold as a "Certified Pre-Owned" (CPO) vehicle. Despite the mandatory 125-point CPO safety inspection, the vehicle was delivered with multiple safety-critical defects that should have prevented certification. Primary Safety Risks: Suspension/Stability: The vehicle exhibits vibration and instability at all speeds, resulting in a loss of steering stability and difficulty maintaining lane position at highway speed. Tire Integrity: The vehicle was sold with dry-rotted tires, indicating structural degradation that poses a high risk of catastrophic failure/blowout. Electrical/Powertrain: The Auto Start/Stop system is faulty. Additionally, the paddle shifters are non-functional, which interferes with manual gear selection and driver control over the powertrain. The selling dealership has refused to acknowledge these defects or bring the vehicle into compliance with manufacturer safety standards. Furthermore, Stellantis Corporate has failed to provide a safety compliance review. These mechanical and electrical defects existed at the time of sale and represent a failure of the CPO safety process.

My 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been out of service at a dealership since January 22 due to a safety recall involving the high-voltage battery. The manufacturer has no repair available and no estimated timeline. I have no access to my vehicle and have been forced to pay for rental cars out of pocket, with only partial reimbursement. The vehicle has now been out of service for over 50 days. I am requesting assistance with a buyback or full resolution of this.
