Service brakes
Driving home from the dealer after they updated the software due to a service bulletin regarding the backup camera locking up, the automatic braking system applied the brakes while driving 75 mph down the interstate. Fortunately there was no one in front of or behind at the time. Took it to the dealer and they checked for error codes and none were found.

OnXXX at approximately 915 am I was making a LEFT hand turn across 3 lanes of 422, when the vehicle appeared to have a serious electrical failure and complete shut down as nothing on the vehicle was working and I was unable to immediately exit the vehicle. I was about 3 ft out into the intersection facing oncoming traffic going the opposite direction. The vehicle was towed to Preston Dodge/Jeep in New Castle PA. On Sept 16th I received a text message stating the problem had been fixed, the problem being "the positive terminal not being fully seated thus creating a powering down situation." I picked the vehicle up, and another significant electrical incident occurred at 3am on XXX while…

The occurrence happened 4 times. While driving when the accelerator is pushed, and not in an extreme way, the engine will rev to the maximum level, the transmission stopped working the car comes to a slow stop and the ignition must be switched off to stop the run away engine. Then restarted without incident. This has happened while making both left and right turns with and without cruise control on. Example: while driving on a 2 lane road with cruse control on the car in front slows to turn I apply the brakes, when applying minimal pressure to the accelerator pedal the engine revs to redline, the transmission stopes functioning and the vehicle coasts to a stop while in traffic with no…

I am reporting recurring safety-related shifting and vehicle gear/park-state concerns involving my 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has failed to transition properly from Reverse into Drive. I reported this Reverse-to-Drive issue to the manufacturer before later becoming aware of diagnostic information that I believed could potentially relate to the behavior. I am not a mechanic and do not know the underlying cause. On July 5, 2026, while my infant was in the vehicle, I placed the vehicle in Park and it displayed a âPark Not Engagedâ warning despite being in Park. Warning sounds occurred and the vehicle automatically engaged the parking…
