Over the past year, I've noticed a suspension-related squeak - increasing in frequency - coming from the rear of my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited vehicle. I brought this to the attention of the Jeep dealer service dept where I purchased the vehicle, as well as to another independent auto repair shop, and both indicated they could not find anything wrong. Today, I saw news on the internet of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited "rear coil spring" issue as described in this Safety Recall report [XXX] and now believe the noise I've been hearing may be related to this recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

At thirty thousand miles, I had to have driver sign motor mount replacement, then at forty one thousand one hundred and fifty two miles and to have the passenger side replaced. According to the dealership, this is a very common problem. Liquid from the motor mountains.Do you have to all the way to the laundry on both sides. If I wouldn't have noticed it. As you can relate the motor mounts, it caused the engine to torque because accidents.

There is an open recall and a remedy was released about 2 weeks ago. I have attempted to get this fixed but the dealership stated the manufacturer will only allow each dealership to order two parts at a time. There is an extensive waitlist resulting in the issue to continue without fixing it in a timely manner and continuing to put mine and my family’s lives at risk as well as other motorists.

On [XXX], while traveling on an interstate highway, I heard what sounded like a metal hitting metal coming from my left front tire. After parking my car I noticed what appeared to be the left front Sway Bar Link had become disconnected. (I have attached pictures to this report). On Wednesday [XXX], The car was taken to a Jeep Dealership for Repairs (Sansone Auto Mall 90-100 Route 1 Avenel NJ 07001) where they replaced the front Sway Bar Link. The purpose of the Sway Bar is so the vehicle can maintain stability and control when operating/steering the car. Specifically if you have to make quick turns or evasive steering to avoid dangers in the road. My vehicle only has 19,000 miles and this part should not have failed as it did. At the time of the malfunction I was traveling on an interstate highway and fortunately was able to safely...

Car has had erratic electric steering at low speed when making turns. Weird noise from electric steering system. We drove 6 miles to a local park. Walked the trails then got back into this car. Started up. Warnings came up on screen. 1 Service Stability system, 2 service blind spot monitor system, 3 rear collision avoidance unavailable, 4 Blind spot monitoring system became inoperative. 5. Electric steering became extremely difficult to operate. We restarted car 2 times and all the above warnings came on each time. As it was Saturday Evening, we limped car home. Parked in Garage and I started it 2 hours later with all the above warnings. Left overnight and started Sunday afternoon 2/11/23, no warnings. Drove car to selling dealership, parked in line for repairs and it is still there. Dealership has finally gotten in an entire electric steering assembly, as this was the stored codes...
1) Back up camera goes blank periodically. A few times the monitor would not come on at all. Frightening when I am using it for directions. 2) Service System 4WD light has come on. Jeep dealer said it is a Disconnect Acetutor (?). I have appt to repair but am concerned it might not be safe to drive. 3) Cannot figure out how to get high beams to automatically turn off when oncoming vehicle is approaching.
Steering wheel airbag cover cracked without pressing on the horn or any force. The lift gate will go up halfway and instantly come back down without pressing the button to make it come back down. And, the front passenger tie rod has been replaced twice in 18 months.
Unknown. Suspension issue/s cause car to jitter and vibrate (unsettled washboard-like ride quality) on the road. Suspension is standard-- not air suspension. Noticeable vibrations/jittering at speeds over 35mph. Makes steering difficult. Makes driving exhausting, as every undulation is transferred into the cabin. Issue has not yet been inspected by dealer or manufacturer. No warning lights--- but it is a suspension system, so a warning light is not likely. This is a brand new vehicle. It should not be exhibiting these problems. I have tested the same model from several different years and none exhibit this ride characteristic, it is just my vehicle.
2021 Grand Cheroke L: while driving at 30 mph on an off ramp, Right Rear lower A frame broke causing damage to rear right suspension air bag spring and wheel & axle cocked approx 30-40degrees. Almost lost control of vehicle but was able to pull off onto grass median. My wife and 5 year old son were in car with me. Could have been a catastrophe lucky traveling at slow speed(just came off highway). Towed to Dealer. Huntington Jeep dealer on Jericho Tpke 11743 said looks like damaged caused by hitting a pot hole. This did not happen,my opinion is part failed due to defect. Car was left on ground and still there in lot until parts come in so Insurance said they couldn't determine what caused failure. No warning lights or messages before failure.
On 11/11/21 I started vehicle and placed in drive to pull out of driveway. Upon moving the steering wheel became locked and would not allow me to steer. The “Service active dampening system “ warning came on along with “Service power steering”. I was able to put vehicle in reverse and back into driveway but the steering was still not functioning. After vehicle sat off for few minutes I restarted and appeared fine but check engine light came on. I took to dealer the same day. After 3 days they could only determine that the computer had shut down. No other explanation or resolution except that if happens again to have it towed there. What if this were to happen while driving at highway speed?
