On January 6, 2025, one week after picking up the new vehicle from the car dealers lot I was driving on the Merritt parkway when suddenly the AEB light came on and then the traction control and engine light. The vehicle quickly lost power and even with my foot pressed fully on the gas pedal, it would not accelerate and slowed to 20 mph within seconds. Fortunately, there was no car behind me, and I was able to coast into a rest stop. If there were a vehicle behind me, it probably would’ve crashed into me when my car quickly decelerated. I turned off the car and then restarted it. I was able to drive it 3 more miles and it happened again. I pulled onto the shoulder, turned the car off and restarted it a 2nd time.

Upon having the baseplate to tow this vehicle behind our motorhome, it was discovered the bolts to attach the bumper plate to the rightaide frame of the vehicle were missing. The dealer furnished the required bolts for proper installation. In my opinion the crash safety of the vehicle was compromised by not having adequate connections.

Is 23 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2024 and 2026, roughly 9 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2024 has 23 complaints on file, fewer than the 2023 (97). Of the 3 model years of the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe we cover, the 2022 has the most (148). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
