Body 1

Rear passenger coil spring popped out and became lodged in the tire while driving. We were driving on the Whitestone expressway and the car came to a resisted halt. This could have caused severe injury if I had not been in the lane and came to a slowdown to allow a car to merge in front of me. The highway traffic patrol man dislodged the fully intact coil from between the tire and tire well. There were no warning lamps, indicators, signs or symptoms. Initially I thought the tire popped which was strange as there was no pot holes or obstructions in the road.

My 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited has had an issue since I purchased it in March 2024 that has a loud booming sound that comes out of the speakers when you turn it on. It exceeds 70 dBA when it happens and causes me ear pain. My dealer has reported it numerous times and it is known to Jeep but they still have not come up with a fix. You can see this issue documented in a reddit post: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I picked up my wife from the airport and I’m on 76 going home. As I am driving about to switch lanes I hear a pop, so I am thinking that I got a flat tire. As I pull over I check all my tires nothing is flat. I look under my car and I see that my rear suspension spring on the right side of my tire is hanging down. Now I am waiting for a tow, so I can take it back to the dealer.

There have been many components and issues that were and were attempted to be repaired. The vehicle is available for any inspection needed. I am afraid to drive the vehicle. My safety, my family’s safety and everyone around us front behind it doesn’t matter everyone is at risk. The vehicle for no reason at all just stopped. A very intense and.violent stop then the automatic braking and pedestrian warnings alerts came off. The vehicle did NOT come to a slow stop it felt like we hit into a brick wall. The dealership is never able to recreate or fix anything. Doubt they even try. They don’t put much effort into trying to recreate the issue.

The right rear coil spring on my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee dislodged and ejected from its mounted position while the vehicle was parked. The spring did not break; it came out intact. This vehicle previously had Recall 64A performed to address a rear coil spring-related safety issue. The recall had already been completed prior to this incident and marked as “complete” The failure occurred after the recall remedy, indicating a potential improper repair or incomplete resolution of the defect. The fact that the spring ejected while the vehicle was stationary raises serious concerns about improper installation or inadequate retention of the component. This presents a significant safety hazard, as the same failure could occur while driving and lead to loss of control. The incident also caused (or may have caused) damage to surrounding suspension components, which are currently being inspected. This complaint is being submitted as a recall remedy failure involving a safety-critical component. Additional details: Vehicle was parked at the time of failure No prior warning before the incident Spring dislodged intact (no fracture) I request that this issue be investigated as a failed recall repair.

On [XXX], while driving my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L on the [XXX] , at approximately 65 mph, a ring (like a washer) detached from the brake pedal. This caused the vehicle to suddenly lose braking capability. Right after I attempted to brake the vehicle on the highway, the ABS light, brake assistance light, braking distance automatic light, and traction control lights all illuminated on the dashboard, and the vehicle required immediate assistance. The brake pedal did not respond normally to pressure. I had to downshift rapidly to slow down and exit the freeway safely. Once in a safer area, I was finally able to stop the vehicle by applying a lot of pressure to the pedal. This dangerous failure put myself and other drivers at serious risk of an accident. Due to the severity of the issue, I immediately called a tow truck and had the vehicle taken to the authorized Jeep dealership in Tustin for repairs. I had previously experienced another major repair (rear axle joint binding) that took approximately 64 days when the vehicle had around 30,000 miles. The current incident occurred at approximately 52,000 miles. I reported this safety issue to Jeep Customer Service and received Reference Number [XXX]. This is a serious safety defect involving the brake system that could have caused a crash on the highway. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Traveling at about 10-15 mph through a parking lot looking for a place to park. When 3 pedestrians crossed in front of my Jeep causing the Jeep to violently and abruptly stop. This violent and unexpected stop caused me to be thrown forward and then back which immediately caused a bruise and swelling in my chest and the left side of my neck and shoulder immediately hurting which got and continues to get progressively worse. The Jeep stopped instantly prohibiting me to react to the stop. The Jeep just stopped it didn’t slow down to stop it just stopped. It truly was a violent stop.

I rented this car from Fox Rental Cars at Seatac Airpot between 2/18/26 and returned 2/23/26. While in the AUTO setting for headlights, the high beams suddenly shut off and quick working. Then the tail lights quit working. I did not know the tail lights were inoperable until I was pulled over. When I shut off the vehicle and turned it back on, the tail lights came back on and I was released without a ticket. Then I got pulled over again on the 21st about a mile from my family home. The tail lights did not turn back on at all but the officer allowed my brother in law to come follow the vehicle home since I was so close. I ended up only driving the car during daytime hours. When I called the customer service line, I could not understand a word the person was saying so I gave up and decided to just drive during daylight hours for safety. When I reached out to Fox management, I was told there were no issues with inoperable tail lights or high beams even though when I checked the vehicle back in, the attendant noted on an incident ticket that the tailights were not working. He did not note the high beams not working on the ticket but they were still inoperable at the time of drop off. If this rental car company rents this vehicle to anyone else, someone could be killed. I asked them for a refund and they denied it based on them saying there was no issues. I not only reported this for a refund but SAFETY reasons so the next driver of the car doesn't get hurt. They clearly never inspected the issue any further if they say the tailights and high beams work. They did not work. I have included my rental invoice, incident ticket provided by FOX rental return attendant, vehicle information sheet, and email from management at Fox stating there were no issues because she didn't want to give me a refund.

6/24/24 I took my dog to the vet. On the way home the compartment door open while we’re driving. I did pull over on the parking lot to close the door. The thing is, the button to open and close the door on the back side is easily accessible. My guess my dog accidentally press it that’s why it happens. Luckily no dog or person is harmed. I think it needs to be investigated to see if recall is warranted as there’s safety issue in my opinion.

From the beginning of ownership, this vehicle has experienced repeated infotainment and system failures that directly impact driver safety, including: The infotainment screen pixelating, freezing, and restarting while the vehicle is in motion A documented incident where the system emitted a loud noise for over 30 seconds before restarting Screen restarts while backing up, preventing the rearview camera from displaying System restarts during active phone calls and GPS navigation The issue occurring regardless of device type, after testing multiple Android and Apple phones Most critically, during a recent incident while driving, the screen restarted and the transmission unexpectedly shifted into manual mode These failures are consistent, repeatable, and documented through photos and video evidence, which I have provided to the dealership. Despite this, I have repeatedly been told that “no issues were found,” even though the problems persist and continue to worsen. A vehicle system restarting while driving—especially when it disables safety features like the rear camera or affects drivetrain behavior—constitutes a serious safety hazard. I no longer feel safe operating this vehicle, and my confidence in its reliability has been completely undermined.
