NHTSA Complaint #11620264 — 2024 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4XE

On the night of [XXX], I was driving on [XXX] with my husband. I lost the ability to steer, accelerate, shift and brake the car. I was able to blast the horn or I would’ve caused a multi-car accident. Unconnect was static and jumping screens. The headlight and taillights wouldn’t stop flashing. The shifter froze up. The car showed multiple error messages, “Service Transmission Continue in D. Don’t Shift Or Turn Off Vehicle Until You Reach A Desired Location. As You May Not Be Able To Shift Again.” “Service Electronic Stability Control” “Auto Park Disabled” “Vehicle Not in Park” “Drowsy Driver Disabled” Every feature on the car disabled. I got the Jeep pulled over before I lost complete electrical, engine and battery power. Jeep Roadside Assistance would not come get us. USAA Insurance had to make two trips since the car couldn't go in neutral and had no power. They towed it to the nearest dealership. The dealership put in a new battery but that didn't work. They ran diagnostics. The valve body is faulty and shorting out which isn't allowing the car to start. This part is on backorder and will not be available for weeks. I'm waiting a month for a new part in hopes that solves the first issue. Then we see what diagnostics says about the remaining problems. I was moments away from dying along with countless others on the busiest Interstate in Texas. Jeep brand isn’t providing safety and reliability. This is a brand new vehicle that came from the factory with faulty parts. Jeep has already settled a Class Action for this same issue on the 2021-2023 Wrangler.
