Bought my jeep used in sept 2023. For the first time hooked it up to my small trailer to pick something up. Pulled around and went to reverse and the rear park assist braking jammed on. At first i wasn't concerned. I knew there was a way to turn them off based on my jeep manual. Unfortunately, the park assist would not turn off. Neither the park assist button on dash nor the settings in the computer screen would turn them off. The light on the dash button would turn on for 2 seconds but then turn right back off. In the computer settings , i would click the rear park assist to uncheck it. It would uncheck for a few seconds then check mark would come right back again. I tried to turn off the front park assist in the computer just to see what would happen. I can't turn those off either. This is extremely dangerous. I was very lucky i discovered this before i left my property. What if i was in a busy place, road, parking lot, etc. So i do have an appt with my dealer tomorrow, who claims to have never heard of this issue before. . But after doing simple google searches on the internet, i found numerous instances of many mopar vehicles, like my jeep gc, dodge durango, chrysler pacifica, etc. Who have had the same exact issue when they try to tow something and cannot turn off the park assist feature to back up with a trailer attached. I also called the fca us customer service line to tell them about this and they said they had never heard of this problem. Yet in the many forums i found where people have posted about this issue, they have had to get software update done on the park assist module to fix this issue. So it is known, but fca is not admitting to it being an issue. This should be a recall, or if nothing else, considered a necessary upgrade. Also found you have a report in your system already on this issue and i found a jeep service bulletin related to this issue as well. I will see what the dealer says tomorrow.
High coolant temperature notice code is thrown causing to lose all power to engine even though the vehicle is not overheating. I am put at risk because while traveling my jeep loses all power and someone could run into the back of my vehicle when traveling down the road.

I was driving my usual route home from work during rush hour on southbound interstate 5 in seattle, wa when my sunroof glass exploded on my 2021 grand jeep cherokee. My first thought was that a tire had blown, it was so loud! Experiencing no loss of control, i quickly realized that the sound was my sunroof glass disintegrating when i heard glass shards rattling overhead. Thankfully my sliding visor was closed as i usually have this open. Of course had it been open i would have had glass shower down on me causing an accident and possibly seriously damaging my vision! I got home safely where i called my car insurance to report what happened. I asked if they wanted me to send photos of the exploded sunroof glass they told me there was no need since it should be a simple fix. Well it has not been so. Insurance sent me to a local collision shop a few days later which turned me away since there was no collision. I called several glass places after this myself and was told by each one they don't deal with replacing sunroof glass. I contacted a jeep dealership told them my situation, what had happened. The dealership scheduled for me to come in 30 plus days for an inspection since that was first availability. I called several dealerships to try to get seen earlier they were all a month out give or take for appointments. Given the suddenness of the explosion and the apparent absence of any external cause, it seems to me that it was caused by a manufacturing flaw, or design defect, in the glass or its frame. Although i am a longtime owner and fan of jeep vehicles i find that this was unacceptable since this is obviously a potential safety issue, as well as a major inconvenience. I also feel jeep should cover the expense on this! I owned a jeep compass prior to my grand cherokee that had a sunroof and never had an issue. I don't want this to happen to others and this goes for anyone who has a sunroof that this could happen without any warning.
When I encounter a bump in the road or uneven pavement at highway speeds, the jeep begins to wobble violently (being shook like a bag of popcorn). I have to release the gas and slow down for it to stop. This has happened numerous times over the past 2 years. I didn't report it previously as I thought it was just a jeep thing and poor manufacturing. Now that I have become aware that it is prevalent in the Wrangler for years and most likely a part (suspension damper or bushings) issue, I am reporting it.
My vehicle had no service light or warnings prior to shutting down in a parking lot. Now it won’t start and says 4wd is unavailable, service transmission. I had to pay for it to be towed to my home. I’m a disabled veteran living on a fixed income and cannot afford to take it to a dealer. Seems to me that the recall w47 20v343000 directly addresses the reason my vehicle is inoperable and so should include my vin!
The grounding wire in the wiring harness of the driver's side, rear light assembly has melted. According to owner forums on the internet, there aren umerous reports of this being a problem.

I was driving my 2017 jeep cherokee latitude 2. 4l, car won't start, i have oil pressure sensor to warn me when low doesn't alert me at all, only time is when i realized a beep when i made turns and would indicate oil pressure low! I can't get my car to stop and it stalled on me while driving with no indication of low oil, and i have two kids and could have been very bad, since no power no breaks no steering!
