2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Too new to judge

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been on the road for 35 months, short of the five years we need to rate it. Owners have filed 305 complaints with NHTSA so far. That's 1.9× the rate other Grand Cherokee years drew in their first 35 months, per vehicle sold.

The biggest problem area, counting serious complaints more, is the electrical system (46% of complaints, median 15,000 miles).

What owners describe

Driver assistance

Owners of this Grand Cherokee describe driver-assistance features like automatic emergency braking, lane management, and the backup camera acting unpredictably—triggering hard stops with no obstacle present or dropping out entirely. Many say dealers ran diagnostics or software updates but often couldn't reproduce or permanently fix the problem.

Warning signs:
Many report dashboard warnings like 'AEB Limited Functionality Service Required' or 'Active Lane Management Unavailable,' sudden hard braking with no obstacle present, or a frozen/distorted backup camera image.
What shops did:
Dealers often performed software updates or system resets, sometimes replacing parts, but many owners say the issue could not be duplicated or persisted afterward; some vehicles stayed at dealers for extended periods.
Mileage:
most between 0 and 5,000 miles, among 5 complaints that give it

“my vehicle decided that it wanted to come to a screeching halt suddenly as the forward collision system activated randomly”

“This car slams the breaks to a stop in the middle of an intersection while turning left with other cars across the intersection also turning left.”

Electrical

Owners of the 2024 Grand Cherokee, especially the 4xe hybrid, describe sudden power loss, stalling, or failure to start, often tied to the high-voltage battery or electrical system. Many say dealers cannot fix the problem because recall parts are unavailable, leaving them unable to drive or charge the vehicle.

Warning signs:
Many report warning lights or messages (battery, hybrid system, transmission, stability control), flickering or blank instrument panels, and unusual smells, smoke, or clicking sounds before failures.
What shops did:
Dealers often could not duplicate or diagnose the failures, performed software updates or battery resets, or told owners that recall parts were unavailable and repairs could not be completed.
Mileage:
most between 5,000 and 20,000 miles, among 15 complaints that give it

“I lost the ability to steer, accelerate, shift and brake the car.”

“The car displayed a Service Hybrid Electric Vehicle System Warning Message along with several other system failure messages in rapid succession.”

Engine

Many owners describe their 2024 Grand Cherokee losing engine power or stalling unexpectedly, sometimes with warning lights or rough running beforehand. Dealers frequently cite unavailable recall parts or cannot reproduce the problem, leaving owners without a lasting fix.

Warning signs:
Owners report warning lights (check engine, hybrid system, battery), rough running, hard jerky shifting, overheating, unusual noises, and error messages before the vehicle stalled or lost power.
What shops did:
Dealers often could not duplicate or diagnose the failure, told owners recall repair parts were unavailable, performed software updates, or replaced components without resolving the issue.
Mileage:
most between 10,000 and 30,000 miles, among 23 complaints that give it

“upon starting the vehicle, all warning lights illuminated and the vehicle stalled”

“The car displayed a Service Hybrid Electric Vehicle System Warning Message along with several other system failure messages in rapid succession”
