Hard shifting occurred. Then service 4WD light came on dash. After an oil change, the light went away, but the hard shifting is still there. An independent dealer replaced my transfer case as well as completed an update to the transmission. The hard shifting came back even worse, with almost every gear. Took to a Dodge/Ram/Jeep dealership who completed a TSB 21-015-23. Their next recommendation is to replace the valve body and if that doesn’t fix it, then replace the transmission. They stated this recommendation came directly from Stillentis. Since this is a known issue from Stillantis, they should be issuing a recall immediately. Failure of the transmission can cause sudden power loss, unpredictable acceleration, stalling, and fire hazards. These things can in turn cause accidents and safety hazards.

The initial safety issue began with the rear-view camera going blank and the Uconnect 5 screen freezing while the vehicle was operating in reverse. My vehicle's service record indicates that Safety Recall 24V-436 / FCA Campaign 79B was marked as "Completed" in the FCA system on June 19, 2024—even though the official recall was not initiated until around June 25, 2024, and no physical software update was performed at that time. To resolve the recall, I took my 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L to Performance Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Delaware, Ohio, where technicians updated the software to version FCA-MY24.U33.43-PROD. Immediately following this dealer update, several core vehicle and safety functions failed: Forward Collision Warning (FCW): The FCW system automatically turned off, and the option to re-enable it completely disappeared from the vehicle settings menu. Vehicle Safety & Operational Controls: Automatic speed-sensitive door locking and paddle shifter functionality were completely disabled. I returned the vehicle to the dealer, where technicians reflashed the software to restore the user configuration options and re-enable FCW. However, the Uconnect system remains dangerously buggy: Active Safety Alerts: The amber FCW OFF light illuminates continuously and gets stuck on. While ADAS features appear partially operational, the constant amber warning obscures real-time system failure notifications. Backup Camera & System Latency: The Uconnect system routinely freezes, introducing a dangerous delay in the rear-view camera feed during reversing maneuvers. System Instability: The Uconnect software randomly resets to the Italian language, resets rear-camera display settings, disables automatic door locking, disables paddle shifters, and causes seat auto-adjustment malfunctions. Stellantis has since issued TSB 08-221-26 (Software Version U41.10), which explicitly acknowledges that these exact software bugs—including the persistent FCW OFF light, screen freezes,

My front windshield has been replaced 2 times now due to significant cracks starting at the bottom seal of the windshield. These cracks were NOT due to rock chip, they started in the exact same spot both times creating the exact horseshoe type crack from the bottom and went stair to the top of the windshield. These cracks have continued to develop around the entire seal of the windshield including the bottom , sides and top of the glass. These cracks sever cracking is an extreme safety hazard, leaving very poor visibility. I have also witnessed 2 other jeeps in my small town with identical horseshoe cracking that started in the identical place mine did, both were the same year, make and model jeep. The windshields are horrendously expensive and I can’t afford to replace it again, this leaves me with extremely poor visibility making this very unsafe. Come on jeep recall the windshields, this is unfair and unsafe and this is making you responsible for potential accidents. I see a lot of lawsuits coming your way for negligence in taking responsibility for the rightful recall that needs to happen.

Forward Collision Warning has been disabled since a forced OTA software update in August of 2024. Jeep has issued a STAR report to their dealers (S248A000013). Jeep acknowledges it is an issue, but fails to cover the remedy. Dealer wants $200+ to diagnose plus the cost of the software refresh. The system forces you to take the software update, removes a key safety feature, and then Jeep wants you to pay to restore it. This is a major issue with this model covered in the forums and should be addressed via recall. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
