My wife was driving our 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with our child as a passenger on a public roadway. Traffic ahead slowed because another vehicle was turning into a parking area. There was no collision. The Forward Collision Warning/Automatic Emergency Braking system activated unexpectedly and applied the brakes. Immediately afterward, the vehicle appeared to stall or shut off while still in traffic. The instrument cluster displayed a message instructing the driver to press the Stop/Start button to restart the vehicle. The vehicle did not restart immediately and required approximately 10 seconds before it could be restarted. During this event the vehicle lost propulsion in traffic, creating a safety concern. The vehicle had approximately 3,258 miles at the time of the incident. The vehicle is currently at a Jeep dealership for diagnosis. No injuries or crash occurred.

I purchased a brand‑new 2026 Jeep in June 2026. Shortly after taking ownership, I began experiencing significant condensation and visible water buildup inside the tail lights. This is not minor moisture — there is standing water and heavy fogging that I have documented with clear, detailed photos. Despite providing this evidence, the dealership refuses to replace the tail lights, stating they “cannot duplicate the issue.” The water intrusion is recurring, and I have multiple documented instances showing the defect. Their refusal to address the problem leaves me with a vehicle that may have compromised lighting performance, electrical risk, and reduced rear‑visibility safety, especially during braking or nighttime driving. This is a new 2026 vehicle with a clear manufacturing defect that should be covered under warranty. Water intrusion in lighting assemblies is a known safety hazard, and the dealer’s refusal to repair or replace the defective components puts me at risk. I am requesting NHTSA review this issue, as it appears to be a defect affecting the safety and reliability of the vehicle’s lighting system. Thank You

I purchased my vehicle on Monday, 8-17-2026. While I was driving my car on Friday, 8-21-2026, I heard a loud explosion, which later I discovered the sunroof had shattered! I was the only vehicle on the road at that time! This should not have happened to a new vehicle a week old! The dealership is NOT taking any responsibility at all! This is a factory defect! My insurance should not have to pay for this defective sunroof! I demand a RECALL!
