2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee owner complaints (15)

• SUSPENSION

  On 5/18/26 at 6:45 am Eastern Time While driving, both left and right sides of the rear lower control arms completely detached from the vehicle due to severe internal rust perforation of the rear subframe/cradle assembly. The structural mounting bracket on the subframe snapped off entirely, causing a catastrophic suspension failure and a sudden, total loss of vehicle control. This is a severe structural safety hazard that occurred without warning due to the subframe rotting from the inside out.the entire cross member detached from the back of the frame dis lodging the drive shaft as well.the picture I am attaching below is one side both sides of the rear look the same .

• AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  Car parked in driveway, passenger Active Head Restraint deployed overnight while parked. Plastic mold holding the latch pin in place is destroyed. Broke into pieces. The latch pin in pic1.jpg is still secured in the lock position. The computer is not throwing codes of deployed headrest, the computer thinks everything is fine. Pic3.jpg has a picture of the driver headrest, NOT deployed. The headrest are designed to deploy only with impact. The plastic molding broke away from the latch pin, and allowed the headrest to deploy prematurely. This should have been a safety recall on the first report. Thousands of complaints have been noted thus far.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES

  I brought my vehicle to the dealership (Axis Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Jersey City, NJ) for open safety recalls. The vehicle has been at the dealership for approximately 3 weeks. I was repeatedly told parts were coming (alternator and brake booster), but the repairs were never completed. I was later told I could pick up the vehicle, but no documentation was provided and I have reason to believe the recall repairs were not performed. This has caused delays, inconvenience, and safety concerns.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The dealer informed the contact that the battery charge was extremely low. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and was informed that the alternator had failed. The alternator was replaced. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle sputtered and stalled. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road. A tow truck arrived on the scene, and while the tow truck driver was attempting to jump-start the vehicle, sparks were coming from the battery. The tow truck driver became aware that the alternator was red hot, and the wires surrounding the alternator were burned, with a burning odor coming from the vehicle. The tow truck driver did not jumpstart the vehicle due to safety concerns. The vehicle was pushed onto the flatbed truck. The vehicle was towed to the residence and had not been driven since. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

• FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Took my vehicle to dealership for fuel pump recall. Was told it wasn’t the actual pump but the wiring and they fixed it. Vehicle continued to have the same issues plus a new issue where the car completely stalled out while driving. I took it back, they said the parts they put on were defective but I’d still have to pay 300$. I paid the money and within 10 hours of getting my car back I stalled on the highway in the fast lane. Luckily it was traffic so no one was hurt and I didn’t cause an accident but this is dangerous and I let the dealership know and all they said was bring it back for a day. I did and they couldn’t tell me anything.

• FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Recall V62/NHTSA 19V-813 that was done on my vehicle in Jan 2023 at 44607 miles failed 0n March 4 2026 the vehicle died and would not start and the repair shop had to replace the fuel pump relay again only 4,811 mile later even though it had been 3 years not many miles and of course Jeep will not reimburse me because it was over 3 years ago

• AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS

  My son was hit head on in a very serious accident and his airbag on driver side didn’t fully deploy resulting in injuries. I’m not sure what component was faulty but the airbag should have fully deployed.

It takes about min before my car can restart and i keep moving

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I will be going 50-65 mph down the highway and my jeep will just die. It will die for about 10-15 seconds then start again. This is very dangerous. I have talked to multiple people that this has happened too.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE

  - The core component that failed is the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The failure was initiated by a fault in the external fuel pump relay (V62 Safety Recall remedy part), which caused improper power delivery. This improper power delivery subsequently damaged the fuel pump motor, requiring replacement of both components. This failure has cascaded, also disabling the circuits for the Engine Cooling Fan (Codes P0480/P0693) and Exterior Lighting (Headlights/B1630), and the Horn. I am in possession of the burnt-out fuel pump relay/fuse component. -The engine stalled while the vehicle was operating, the exact hazard the V62 recall was meant to prevent. This was followed by a catastrophic TIPM breakdown, creating new, simultaneous safety risks: Overheating/Fire Risk: The Cooling Fan circuit failed (P0480/P0693), causing severe engine overheating. No Headlights: The Headlights failed (B1630), causing total loss of visibility at night. No Horn: The Horn failed, eliminating the ability to warn other drivers. - Yes. The initial engine stall and subsequent no-start condition (due to a blown relay fuse) were confirmed by an independent service center (Monro). The cascading failures (overheating, horn, lights) and the diagnostic codes (P0480, P0693, B1630, C2201-00) were confirmed on 11/1. - The vehicle was inspected by an independent service center (Monro), who returned the failed recall component to me (relay). Recommend it go to a certified jeep dealership. It is waiting to be towed there. -The first warning was a history of intermittent starting difficulty. On 10/23, the engine stalled while operating and immediately resulted in a no-start condition. The Check Engine Light illuminated after the subsequent failed restart attempts.

• POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 15-25 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated before accelerating as intended. The contact stated that the brake pedal resistance increased while depressing the brake pedal, which required the brake pedal to be depressed to the floorboard. The contact stated that the Emergency Stop Brake engaged unexpectedly while the vehicle was idling and while driving at various speeds. A "Low Battery" message was displayed, and upon inspection, the battery was hot. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who diagnosed failures with the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) communication and the transmission; however, the vehicle had not been repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously included in unknown recalls and was taken to the dealer where the recall repairs were performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

• SEATS

  Hello, I am reporting failure on the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which the drivers side headrest activated while the vehicle was not in operation and not involved in any accident. The active head restraint had activated while the vehicle was parked and in a non-running condition. No accident occurred during this time frame. The passenger side active headrest is still in the factory location and has not been activated. The drivers side head restraint has activated and can not be returned to original position. My current safety is at risk as the active head restraint is not functioning per original safety design intent. My head and neck are currently constrained in a position that causes discomfort while driving due to the location of the active head restraint. The manufacturer (Authorized dealer) has been contacted and they responded with a response including that a recall was not issued for this failure type. A warranty period was extended to 10 years from manufacture date which my 2013 has eclipsed. No inspections have been completed to date. The parts have been untouched since the date of discovery. There were no signs of this issues prior to discovery. There are no service or warning lights currently illuminated on the dash or driver information screen. This is a safety related failure and needs to be repaired by the OEM with no cost to the customer. A well documented and known issue exists and puts the owner/operator of the vehicle at a increased level of risk of injury by continuing to operate this vehicle in its current condition.

• SEATS

  Passenger headrest popped out while driving downs the road. No accident bump or anything visible set it off. It punched out like an air bag.

• POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER

  Was inspected @ my local garage. The tipm goes out and you lose turn signals, wipers, transfer case control ( locks in low gear) causes airbag light to go on. And Chrysler does not manufacture them anymore. Jeep had to be towed.
