On multiple occasions my 2024 Grand Cherokee 4XE will flash "Service Hybrid System" and cut out while driving. Brakes, steering, and other functions are severely limited on these occurences. I have brought this issue up with the Jeep dealership every time the incident happens and they always ask if there are any lights on. No lights stay on, the engine and all systems just cut out. Tried contacting Jeep corporate help line and never get anywhere with them. I would like to turn the vehicle in, but they will not allow me to do so as they can never seem to find anything wrong with it, since it shows no codes.

The vehicle lights up a red wrench with a lightning bolt through it and then alerts to a "service hybrid electric vehicle system" message. This light stays on from either a few seconds to several minuets before turning off. There is no consistency as to when the warning illuminates. Every time it has come on has been at highway speeds. There is fear that the vehicle is going to lose power and/or propulsion while at a high speed. This feels like a danger to myself, my occupants, and others on the road.

Vehicle shut down completely while in the left lane of the highway. Thankfully she was able to maneuver it to the shoulder and started it back up and continued on. At 4 AM. Another four days later, the Jeep failed to start in the parking lot of work. Threw every code, including the "red wrench"- service hybrid electric vehicle system, check engine light and other others. We abandoned it in the parking lot and checked the next morning. It started on a whim still with every light on. We were able to get it to the dealership where it has been since January 24. When we went to pick it up today, they told us it was ready to go and it road tested good with no lights on. When we got in it to leave, the red wrench and check engine light went back on. They don't know what the problem is. This was replicated by the dealership and the invoice states: "Vehicle will not move. Pushed into shop".

Since leasing my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe in July 2023, Iâve encountered severe and ongoing safety, quality, and performance issues that remain unresolved despite multiple service visits and direct contact with Chrysler customer care. The vehicle has consistently proven unreliable and unsafe, posing risks to my family and others. Key safety concerns include: Trunk Liftgate Malfunction: The liftgate closes on its own, even with foot control disabled, failing to stop when obstructed, causing injuries to my [XXX] son and me. Proximity Sensor Failures: The sensors randomly lock the brakes with no obstacles and fail to warn of actual hazards. Steering Wheel Adjustment Failure: The steering wheel became stuck in the highest position and couldnât be readjusted. Gear Shifting Issues: In eSave mode, gears fail to shift above 40 mph, and at times, the vehicle wonât shift out of park without multiple restarts. Defective Environmental Controls: The heater once failed during a 20°F dr
