2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Too new to judge

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been on the road for 59 months, short of the five years we need to rate it. Owners have filed 480 complaints with NHTSA so far. That's 1.3× the rate other Grand Cherokee years drew in their first 59 months, per vehicle sold.

The biggest problem area, counting serious complaints more, is the electrical system (43% of complaints, median 21,000 miles).

What owners describe

Driver assistance

Many owners of this Jeep Grand Cherokee describe unexpected hard automatic braking with no obstacle ahead, along with a recurring glitch that switches the display to Italian and disables safety and convenience features like paddle shifters and forward collision warning. Dealers often struggled to permanently fix these issues, with owners reporting repeated visits and temporary resets.

Warning signs:
Owners describe dashboard warning lights for power steering, ADAS, forward collision, and lane assist illuminating together, sudden hard braking, or display/language and unit settings changing unexpectedly.
What shops did:
Dealers often could not reproduce or find the cause, performed software resets or updates that only temporarily helped, and some replaced cameras, modules, radios, or wiring with the problem frequently returning.

“My jeep went from 60 to 0 slamming on the brakes so hard and flashing the AEB lights and dinging on the dash.”

“the instruments, gauges, and displays will switch into a language I do not speak or understand (Italian)”

Electrical

Owners describe their Grand Cherokees, especially hybrid 4xe models, losing power or stalling unexpectedly, sometimes with power steering or battery warnings. Many say dealers struggled to fix the issue or were waiting on recall parts that were not yet available.

Warning signs:
Many report warning messages such as "Service Hybrid System," "Power Steering Unavailable," flickering dash lights, or the vehicle stalling before losing power.
What shops did:
Dealers frequently replaced batteries or modules, performed software updates, or could not reproduce or diagnose the problem, leaving some vehicles unrepaired while awaiting recall parts.
Mileage:
most between 10,000 and 35,000 miles, among 17 complaints that give it

“I still had power steering and brakes, but no acceleration.”

Engine

Many owners of this Jeep Grand Cherokee describe the engine or hybrid system suddenly cutting out or losing power while driving, sometimes accompanied by loss of steering or braking assist. Dealers often could not reproduce the issue or lacked a permanent fix, though some repairs like cam shaft, motor mount, or wiring harness replacements were performed.

Warning signs:
Many report a red wrench/lightning bolt light or "Service Hybrid Electric System" message, sudden power loss, clunking or shuddering, and loss of power steering or braking just before or during the stall.
What shops did:
Dealers frequently could not duplicate or find a cause, cleared codes, performed software updates, or told owners no fix was available; some vehicles had engine wiring, cam shafts, motor mounts, water pumps, or head gaskets replaced.
Mileage:
most between 10,000 and 75,000 miles, among 8 complaints that give it

“it loses all motive power and coasts to a stop. A warning message is displayed on dash: "Service Hybrid Electric Vehicle System.”

“the service engine and transmission lights come on and the vehicle itself dies out and will power on but will not start for about 10-15 minutes afterwards”
