I was driving the service brake assembly light came on the. Then the service stability control light came on, I couldn't do anything, I remember hitting my head off the steering wheel in which air bags did not deploy. Thank god it didn't hit someone else.

The contact owned a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V426000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle directly in front stalled inadvertently causing the contact to abruptly depress the brake pedal. The contact stated while depressing the brake pedal, it failed to function causing the contact to crash with the vehicle in front. The vehicle was occupied by the contact and her son. The air bags deployed causing injury to both arms, right shoulder, and legs to the contact as well as causing her son emotional PTSD. The contact received medical attention via an Emergency Room. The contact stated the front driver-side door as well as the steering wheel were punctured. No injuries were reported for the other driver however their rear driver-side bumper was dented.

MY VEHICLE (2019 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE) WAS ONLY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH WHEN I WAS STRUCK BY 4-DOOR CHEVY SILVERADO (DRIVER-TO-DRIVER COLLISION) THAT WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON GREEN, SO ONLY GOING ABOUT 3-5MPH. THE TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT NONE OF MY JEEP'S DID. MY JEEP'S ENTIRE FRONT AREA WAS CRUSHED, AND DRIVER'S SIDE EXPERIENCED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AS WELL; RESULTING IN MY JEEP BEING TOTALED. EVERYONE AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS SHOCKED THAT MY JEEP'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, I BUSTED MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AND 6 WEEKS LATER, I STILL HAVE A KNOT ON MY FOREHEAD. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A GRAND CHEROKEE AGAIN! I AM COMPLETELY AMAZED THERE ARE ZERO RECALLS!

THIS VEHICLE WAS HIT BY A SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB PICKUP AT A 4 WAY STOP TWICE BY THE SAME TRUCK. THE IMPACT RESULTED IN THE JEEP BEING A TOTAL LOSS WITH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE FRONT AND REAR. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED RESULTING IN INJURIES TO BOTH THE DRIVER AND MORE SERIOUS THE PASSENGER. THE JEEP WAS ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION. THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN AT THE INTERSECTION.*DT*JB

VEHICLE STRUCT POLE ON PASSENGER SIDE, AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, AND SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE INCLUDING DOOR INTRUSION INTO THE CABIN. BOTH MAJOR SUPPORT PILLARS WERE BENT AND SIDE WINDOWS SHATTERED.

While attempting to park my vehicle, it suddenly accelerated on its own, causing the car to move quickly toward a tree and a nearby building. I immediately attempted to stop the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal, but the car continued to accelerate. The engine was roaring, and I even tried using both feet on the brake pedal in an effort to stop the vehicle, but it did not respond. The only way I was able to stop the vehicle was by turning off the engine. Due to the unexpected acceleration and my concern that it could happen again, the vehicle was not safe to drive. A tow truck was called, and the vehicle was transported to a mechanic for inspection.

The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the curb, where the vehicle came to a stop. The contact stated that no air bags deployed in his vehicle. No injury was sustained, and medical attention was not required. There was no Police report filed. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 121,000.

A arm broke while I was driving causing me to hit a pole. Service stability control and abs light came on in dash right before I crashed. Garage where vehicle is located said it was the an arm that caused me to crash. Had taken it to 2 different dealerships both said they could find nothing wrong prior to accident. Jeep has 88,000 miles on it. This is unacceptable I'm Just glad one of my children was not driving at this time. Also my air bags did not deploy!

On December 31, 2024 we had a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo cause a crash due to malfunctioning parts. The ABS brakes failed and locked up. The steering wheel also locked up, causing the vehicle to crash hard into a guard rail. This resulted in the vehicle being totaled, property damage, and a ER visit. While braking on a mountainous road, the brakes and wheel locked up and the vehicle could not be controlled. The police report states this is what happened. We had the vehicle into the dealership multiple times within a year stating that the brakes weren't working properly. They kept telling us that they couldn't find any issues; however, they kept trying to replace different parts to both the front and rear brakes. The vehicle was inspected by the police, insurance adjuster, and a collision body shop. The vehicle was totaled and not 1 single air bag deployed during the collision either. This incident was confirmed by the 3 parties I listed. A family members life was put at risk and looking at the damage, it appeared that it started to roll but ended coming back down instead. When I contacted Mopar about this incident, I was informed of the recall. They also said that there was a fix for the recall. However, there is no fix as to date. We are short a vehicle, which was paid off, an increase in auto insurance, and had a Lifetime Max Care Warranty through Mopar. None of this was in our control. The insurance company has taken the vehicle into their possession. There was no warning signs, it just happened suddenly.

Airbag did not deploy

Backing out of garage to driveway just a few feet. Car suddenly accelerated on its own to a very high speed in Reverse. Knocked down a tree and busted through the neighbor's garage wall. Attempted to pump brakes but it did not help one bit. My safety was at risk and luckily I was not hurt. Luckily there was no one in the alley or at my neighbor's driveway or garage. People could have been killed based on how fast the car suddenly accelerated. No warning lights were on prior to the incident. Nothing to indicate there was a problem with the car. When the car stopped as a result of hitting the garage wall, it was still in reverse. There is $20k damage to my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The collision company said they will make sure its safe to drive but I'm not sure if it should be inspected elsewhere. I will contact a dealer to inspect after collision company releases the car. How am I to drive this car again not knowing if this could happen again and potentially result in death of someone? The car is certainly available for inspection.

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO AN ACCIDENT ON 1/22/20 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:45PM NEAR PITTSBURGH, PA. I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE 'DRIVER SIDE' LOWER OR 'FOOT' AIR BAG, AS IT DID NOT 'UNDEPLOY' OR IF IT DID, IT IS VERY BULKY AFTER DOING SO AND BECAUSE OF THAT, IT CAUSED, IN MY OPINION, ADDITIONAL AND UNNECESSARY DAMAGES TO THE OTHER PARTY'S INVOLVED. SITUATION - IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I NEEDED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT DO SO BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WAS IN THE WAY OF MY FEET REACHING AND PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND IDLING WHICH, CONSEQUENTLY LED TO ME PUSHING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME FURTHER THAN THE ACTUAL SPOT OF THE ACCIDENT AND 'POSSIBLY' INTO THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF HER. I LITERALLY HAD TO PUT THE JEEP IN 'NEUTRAL' AND THEN PRESS THE 'POWER OR ON/OFF' BUTTON TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TO KEEP IT FROM CONTINUING TO PUSH HER CAR. NOW ... DO I BELIEVE YOUR VEHICLE SAVED MY LIFE ABSOLUTELY! HOWEVER, THIS AIRBAG ISSUE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE TURNED OUT HORRIBLY WRONG HAD I NOT KNOWN HOW TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WITHOUT USING THE BREAK. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNCONSCIOUS, THEN IN THEORY I L COULD HAVE PUSHED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME UNTIL WHAT I WAS PUSHING VIA IDLING WAS TOO MUCH WEIGHT FOR THE LOW RPM'S OF IDLING TO BEAR. ADDITIONAL DETAILS - WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY, BUT STILL ON THE EXIT RAMP, I WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTI CAR (4) ACCIDENT THAT I BELIEVE (AS I DID OVERHEAR CONVERSATIONS FROM THE OTHER DRIVERS BUT BEING THE 4TH VEHICLE OUT OF 4, I DID NOT EYEWITNESS THIS MYSELF) MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER WHO CUT OFF ANOTHER DRIVER IN FRONT OF THE 4 OF US AND THIS ACTION INEVITABLY CAUSED THE 4 OF US BEHIND HIM TO SLAM ON OUR BRAKES. UNFORTUNATELY, THINGS HAPPENED SO QUICKLY THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

ON SEP 2, 2019 WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT AROUND 60MPH THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT AND LOCKED IN THAT POSITION FOR A FEW SECONDS, ALMOST CAUSING A DEADLY CRASH ON THE FREEWAY AS THE VEHICLE ALMOST HIT THE CEMENT DIVIDER. I APPLIED FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, TO NO AVAIL FOR A FEW SECONDS, BUT THEN WHEN THE WHEEL "UNLOCKED" IT CLICKED AND THE CAR SWERVED TO THE RIGHT, CAUSING US TO ALMOST SPIN AROUND. I HELD THE WHEEL AS STRAIGHT AS I COULD, BUT WE DID GET INTO A COLLISION WHEN THE CAR WAS ALREADY STRAIGHTENING BACK. I REQUESTED MAINTENANCE RECORDS FROM AVIS, THE RENTAL COMPANY, BUT THEY DENIED RELEASING THEM. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE COMPEL THEM TO RELEASE MAINTENANCE RECORDS FOR THIS VEHICLE? WE ALMOST DIED THAT DAY AND THEY WON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY STEERING MECHANISM. AVIS IS ACTUALLY ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT MONEY FROM ME FOR THE DAMAGES BUT WON'T RELEASE THE RECORDS. THANK YOU!

Subject: Vehicle Fire Following ABS Recall Repair – Safety Complaint I am filing a safety complaint regarding a vehicle fire that occurred shortly after a recall repair was performed. Vehicle: Jeep (Grand Cherokee/2019) Mileage at time of incident: Approximate: 58,350 Approximately four weeks ago, my vehicle underwent a recall repair related to the ABS system at Westgate Jeep located in Raleigh, NC 27617. Following that repair, I experienced brake issues due to air in the brake lines, which required a return visit to the same service provider for correction. On April 5, 2026, the vehicle caught fire while parked in my driveway. The fire originated in the front driver-side engine compartment area, where the ABS and brake components are located. The fire caused extensive damage to the engine bay, wiring, and surrounding components, rendering the vehicle inoperable. Given the timing and location of the fire, I am concerned that the recall repair or subsequent brake system work was performed improperly leading to either a brake fluid leak or an electrical malfunction or defective parts that caused the fire. This incident presents a serious safety risk, as it could have resulted in injury or loss of life. I am requesting a full investigation into: - The quality and safety of the recall repair performed - Whether improper installation, damaged components, or fluid leaks contributed to the fire - Whether other vehicles repaired under this recall may be at similar risk The vehicle has not been altered or repaired since the fire and is available for inspection. Supporting documentation (repair invoices, photos, etc.) can be provided upon request. I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed urgently to prevent potential harm to other drivers.

I was driving my 10 year old son to school. We hopped in our Jeep in the garage. Pushed the start button and my son smelled something that was burning. I backed out of the driveway and then my son said there is smoke coming out of the center counsel. I pulled over and looked in the counsel and saw a fire. Ran to the house and got a fire extinguisher to put it out. Fire was out out for a short time, but then burst into an all out fire. The car burnt to the ground. Nothing remained. So far the insurance company and Chrysler cannot pinpoint what caused the fire. It is a total loss and the damage was too extensive to determine the cause. My son and I are very lucky we got out of the vehicle in time and everyone was safe. The vehicle was a lease and had only been serviced for oil changes by our Chrysler dealer. No alarms or visual indicators forewarned us that anything like this was going to happen. The vehicle is a total loss and we don't know why it caught on fire. Chrysler denies any form of responsibility. Just looking for answers and hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Vehicle: 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine: 3.6L V6 (Pentastar) While driving on the highway, the vehicle experienced a sudden engine overheating condition, followed by a catastrophic failure of the coolant recovery tank. This failure created a serious safety hazard and appears to be the result of a known and well-documented head gasket defect in the 3.6L engine used in Jeep Grand Cherokees. While driving at highway speed, the vehicle was operating normally until I made a left turn. Immediately after the turn, the engine temperature began to rise rapidly, indicating an overheating condition. I turned around and began driving back toward my residence to avoid further damage or a roadside breakdown. Before reaching home, the coolant recovery tank violently exploded, releasing coolant throughout the engine bay. As well as strong burning coolant chemical smells throThis occurred while the vehicle was still in operation and could have resulted in loss of visibility, fire risk, or complete engine failure while driving. After inspection by a qualified professional, the failure was confirmed to be caused by a failed head gasket, which allowed combustion gases to pressurize the cooling system until the coolant recovery tank ruptured. This failure occurred without warning and while the vehicle was being driven on public roadways. A sudden coolant system explosion and rapid overheating can result in: Loss of engine power while driving Fire risk from hot coolant contacting engine components Loss of vehicle control Stranding occupants in unsafe conditions This represents a significant safety defect. Jeep Grand Cherokees equipped with the 3.6L engine are widely known to experience head gasket failures, typically occurring between 50,000 and 75,000 miles. Despite this known issue, Stellantis/Chrysler has not issued a recall, technical service campaign, or extended warranty related to this defect.
