Fail Date: 2025-11-07

Manufacturer Name: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

Vehicle Make: JEEP

Vehicle Model: GRAND CHEROKEE L

Model Year: 2023


Summary

From the beginning of ownership, this vehicle has experienced repeated infotainment and system failures that directly impact driver safety, including: The infotainment screen pixelating, freezing, and restarting while the vehicle is in motion A documented incident where the system emitted a loud noise for over 30 seconds before restarting Screen restarts while backing up, preventing the rearview camera from displaying System restarts during active phone calls and GPS navigation The issue occurring regardless of device type, after testing multiple Android and Apple phones Most critically, during a recent incident while driving, the screen restarted and the transmission unexpectedly shifted into manual mode These failures are consistent, repeatable, and documented through photos and video evidence, which I have provided to the dealership. Despite this, I have repeatedly been told that “no issues were found,” even though the problems persist and continue to worsen. A vehicle system restarting while driving—especially when it disables safety features like the rear camera or affects drivetrain behavior—constitutes a serious safety hazard. I no longer feel safe operating this vehicle, and my confidence in its reliability has been completely undermined.

Fail Date: 2025-05-01

Manufacturer Name: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

Vehicle Make: CHRYSLER

Vehicle Model: PACIFICA

Model Year: 2017


Summary

The CAN BUS connector (found in the glove box area) fails periodically and without warning. It affects everything on the vehicle; it stops the car from shifting, car won't start up, windows stop working, all of the warning lights turn on, etc. The issue seems to be a manufacturing defect; the soldering cracks after a while, so the low voltage applications malfunction. Many people have noticed the problem, but the dealerships refuse to do a recall or address the issue properly. The vehicle has been in and out of the dealership probably 10 times in the last 7 months or so. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This problem is unsafe because it can occur while driving on a freeway which can cause an accident. Every warning light comes on when the malfunction happens.
