There are 3 owner-reported engine complaints for the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokeein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
My 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEV is subject to Safety Recall 78C/NHTSA 25V-766 for ENGINE FIRES caused by sand contamination in the 2.0L engine that can cause "catastrophic engine failure" and "vehicle fire. On January 9, 2026, I took my vehicle to Stewart Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in Colma, CA. While other recalls were serviced, I was informed that Recall 78C could not be completed because remedy parts are unavailable. Following the dealership’s advice, I contacted Jeep Customer Care (1-800-334-9200). I was told the vehicle is safe to drive despite no expected resolution date for the repair. Furthermore, my request for a rental vehicle was denied unless I paid out of pocket. My car leasing company, Stellantis’ own notice states this defect creates an "increased risk of occupant injury" due to fires. It is unacceptable to be forced to choose between driving a known fire hazard with my infant child or having no transportation. I have attempted to escalate this with Jeep Customer Care but have not received a return call from management. I request that the NHTSA compel Jeep to provide a safe loaner vehicle or initiate a vehicle buyback immediately due to this imminent safety hazard. I am being forced to either: Drive a vehicle Jeep admits may catch fire or have no transportation for my family.
I was driving down the rode going 30 miles per hour and my vehicle turned off. I lost all power.
I've received a notification that says, “service hybrid electric system,” but there is no fix at my dealership.
