Delamination of touchscreen occurring resulting in -??ghost touches/calls-??. This has been verified by an independent dealership. This affects the safety of the driver as the touchscreen is not able to be used properly in emergencies and also the ghost calls can result in 911 inadvertently being called when not needed.
RE: SAFETY RECALL W36 (NHTSA ID 20V-191). Manufacturer Stellantis (FCA US LLC) has reported this safety recall as "Complete" for my VIN. This reporting is inaccurate. The vehicle remains on firmware version 30.21.0, which is the defective version the recall was mandated to replace. The Head Unit and Telematics Box (TBM) hardware are failing to accept the required safety patch. Stellantis Case Management (Case #95948441) has refused to provide the mandated free remedy and is demanding a consumer-paid diagnostic fee to address this failed safety recall, in direct violation of 49 U.S.C. ? 30120. Furthermore, the dashboard assembly is failing (adhesive degradation), causing significant rattle/distraction. The manufacturer refuses to honor the Federal Safety Act and remediate these defects without charge. I have already performed the diagnosis and provided firmware evidence which the manufacturer has ignored.
The contact owns a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the heater was activated on the instrument panel, but the A/C inadvertently turned on and then returned to heat. The instrument panel then malfunctioned, rendering the navigation system inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V652000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.

Frequently, my vehicle would not start. It would crank for a lengthy period of time but the engine would not turn over to start. Internet searches show that this is a widespread, known problem with Chrysler vehicles, yet only a small number of recalls have been issued. Unfortunately, my vehicle does not fall under the recall for unknown reasons. I have been advised that the fuel pump and auxiliary fuel pump need to be replaced, which is a costly repair. A fuel pump should not fail on a vehicle with under 50,000 miles on it.

Jeep delamination screen on the face of the radio. This is a safety concern that could disable my use of my cell in calling 911 in case of a emergency and also being able to locate the vehicle via GPS. It also disables the SOS function in the radio head. This is a known problem with these radio's but hasn't addressed by the manufacture. I have taken this to my local auto repair shop today and was made aware of the problem and told me to look it up and report it. I am requesting to open a case so that it can be addressed and repaired.
2020 jeep cherokee screen delamination and it affects gps when traveling and it goes off and flickers and goes to whatever it wants. it is a safety issure. i have been waiting for it to be fixed since december 2025 but it started messing up september of 2024 and still no part to fix the problem and i am not the only one having this problem on these jeeps. please help get this fixed before it causes an accident.
I am reporting a safety defect involving the Uconnect touchscreen in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Due to screen delamination, the display can lag or freezes, including the rearview camera image. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the camera images can be delayed, frozen, or not updating in real time. This results in the screen showing an inaccurate view of what is actually behind the vehicle, creating a serious safety hazard. Objects, pedestrians, or vehicles can enter the rear path after the image freezes but will not appear on the display. This defect creates a false sense of safety and undermines the purpose of the federally required rear visibility system. The failure occurs intermittently without warning, making the rearview camera unreliable when it is needed most. This is a known defect affecting Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with Uconnect displays, not normal wear and tear. The manufacturer has not provided an adequate recall or permanent fix. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue as a systemic safety defect that increases the risk of backover collisions.
About 3 years ago i noticed a small bubble in the upper right corner of my touchscreen. Didnt pay much attention for a while but it started spreading to the left. I took a photo and sent a picture to the man that helped me buy my car and asked if there was a known Recall for this. Said he would check, he confirmed there was none. I let it go because i hadnt purchased any extended warranty. Bubbling continued to spread. Occasionally my radio station would change on its own. I thought it was just my imagination and let it go. In July of 2025 my family and i were on vacation and I was driving in Williamsburg, VA. I was using my Jeeps navigation. Suddenly my arrow was taking me off track of the road i was on. This was very distracting considering we were out of town on vacation. My husband took my iphone and typed the address we were going and connected my phone to my charging cord so i could use car play. This did not work and neither did his samsung. It was like they were malfunctioning. We ended up using one of our phones with no connection to my jeep, my husband verbally directed me. Navigation map on my Jeep only showed me in water and still does to this day. When we got back in town I again reached out to the man who helped me, telling him our experience on vacation. He took me to the service center and the guy working the desk knew exactly what i was talking about and said this was common issue. He got me scheduled for repair. I didnt think to ask about if it was free or what. I was just glad he knew what i was talking about. My husband and i came back for my scheduled appt and i immediately asked the guy at the desk if this was free. He stated no it would be around $1500. I couldnt afford that. He asked if i had the extended warranty. I told him no. He said sorry and that was about it. I just walked away and have been dealing with this ever since.
My vehicle is losing power every randomly literally cutting off and on. Flashing lights won-??t start at time, next day drives completely fine. I do not understand
Transfer case had to be replaced. Service 4 wheel drive light came on along with traction control warning. Also, electronic stability control warning. Steering and movement were sluggish. Only had 51,000 miles in it. Not happy to have paid almost $1,400. for the repair. This should have been a recall because as I understand, many other owners have had the same exact issue. Please look into this. Thank you.
Electronic stability and 4wd lights came on. Brought to dealership and the PTU is no longer working. My car is vibrating and hesitating when accelerating. Jeep dealer told me it-??s common to have to replace these units however they are nationally back ordered. My car doesn-??t even have 60k miles on it and even if I want to fix my car so it-??s safe I can-??t because the parts are backordered leaving me with no other choice but to drive for months months unsafely without a properly functioning PTU
It was a clear day as I arrived at work. While pulling into a parking spot, the Jeep suddenly accelerated over a curb and into a tree. I was able to turn the wheel upon seeing the tree, which helped me avoid hitting other vehicles on the opposite side of the island. I had to depress the brakes multiple times before the vehicle finally stopped just short of another tree. During the incident, I was on a conference call. The attendees confirmed that there were no warning sounds from the vehicle-?"only the sound of the impact. Notably, the airbags did not deploy. The front driver-side area sustained extensive damage, causing the driver-??s door to jam. Fortunately, I did not suffer any physical injuries. The vehicle was towed to an auto body repair shop. When connected to a scanner, no error codes were detected. Repairs took nearly five weeks. Although the front sensors were replaced, they still did not function properly. The shop consulted a technician who remoted in and advised them to replace all the sensors again and inspect the wiring. Although the vehicle has been repaired, I remain fearful of driving it. I-??ve read similar reports on this board suggesting these issues may be related to the electrical system. I plan to contact the dealership to ask whether they have experience with such cases and if they can inspect the systems.
The contact owns a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle intermittently failed to start immediately, but started after the second attempt. The battery was replaced; however, soon after the battery replacement, the failure recurred, and the vehicle was taken to a dealer. A diagnostic test was performed, and the contact was informed that the failure was related to the fuel pump or the electrical system. The vehicle was not repaired and remained withthe dealer. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
There is a common issue with WK2 Jeeps from 17-22 where the infotainment screen delaminates due to the adhesive that Jeep used and eventually causes the touchscreen to become non-functional.
Display for backup camera, radio & climate control is delaminating. Display stops functioning at points and needs to reset. Seal for display has been compromised, so the unit will stop functioning soon. It will have to be replaced.
while riding vehicle just shuts off and stops. message on dash states put vehicle in park to start vehicle. Do that and vehicle starts and runs. First time this happened 6/13/25 went one week no problem then on 6/25/25 happened again took to service station no codes thrown.
UConnect system is delaminating and experiencing -??phantom-?? touches, often not allowing me to access things needed and choosing to do whatever it wants. This makes me unable to access -??hands-free-?? via Bluetooth connection, etc., which creates safety issues. It also creates serious safety issues when the unit overrides driver choices, and is also distracting as the unit beeps and switches back and forth among options. This is a widespread issue that Jeep knows about and continues to leave good people to pay thousands of dollars to replace or just be out MANY features on this vehicle that all go through the system. This makes MUCH of this vehicle obsolete.
