What’s the point of a recall if they still have no fix?

I wonder how they determine you’re part of that 91k? So there must be a fix if it’s possible to not be part of that 91k?

 

What’s the point of a recall if they still have no fix?

It is a legal requirement that notice of the recall goes out as soon as it is identified as a recall. It would be illegal for them to know there is a recall but withhold informing people about it until a remedy is identified.

 

A great stop sale and another recall further depreciates the already horrid resale value of a horrid vehicle. Dealers refuse to take mine in on trade, even Jeep dealers. Great job there @JeepCares

 

So sorry about that. At least Jeep should be more motivated to fix things now? Once issue is resolved, hopefully resale value will start to return to normal?

 

Well- our day of reckoning may be on the horizon. perhaps this is why Jeep was refusing all BuyBacks last few months, as they probably knew it was coming.

VINs are searchable this Thursday to see if you are one of the 91k.

Good luck to all.

I had this issue happen when I drove home last night, I was on the highway traveling at around 70 mph. lost power to propel. switched from hybrid to gas only. that did not help, my brakes were also not responding normally, I pulled to the median side of the highway. I need to call JEEP dealer today. Im glad I had a runway on the side of the highway to slowdown.

 

DEATH TRAPS!

 

vin numbers are now searchable on Mopar and NHTSA site.

 

I couldn't find it on NHTSA site, but as I was trying to check my vin thru my app... but then I saw it showing up in my app!

The HV battery recall never reached my app, but this thing certainly did show up!

So I guess my GC is part of the 91k!

Description is scary:

A BPCM reset which is incorrectly interpreted by the HCP may cause a loss of propulsion. An unexpected loss of propulsion can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning!

(Remedy currently not available)

How wonderful...

Sounds like a software issue? Just teach the darn BPCM/HCP to behave and interpret things correctly and then everything will be fine!

 

Is this recall related to the 95B recall? The recall report says issues were reported starting December 23, 2024, which is right after the fix for the 95B recall was available.

 

Essentially yes. My dealership said they’ve seen a trend where the “software update” fix for the 95B recall led to other issues with the GC 4xe, e.g. B273C hybrid system error which led to the NHTSA 73C recall released this week.

 

I took mine into my dealer, Its sitting with them for a minimum of 2 weeks possibly 4+ though. They were good enough to give me a covered loaner 4xe Grand Cherokee, now ill be running its VIN to see if this one is affect too...

 

Update the loaner has the same recall, good chance its all of the 4xe GC's? I managed to swap into a 4xe Rubicon so not all bad. Ill keep the thread updated. Dealer appointment was scheduled for today with diagnostic
