5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The dominant complaint pattern for the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L centers on the forward collision avoidance system, which draws the largest share of reports by a wide margin. Owners frequently describe the forward collision warning light illuminating without an apparent cause, the system shutting off unexpectedly, and related driver assistance features, including automatic emergency braking readiness, becoming unavailable. Many of these reports are tied to broader electrical and software behavior: owners describe the infotainment screen going black, freezing, or flashing while driving, and vehicle settings spontaneously resetting to a foreign language and measurement system. When those resets occur, the forward collision system is often reported as disabled at the same time. A smaller cluster of complaints involves the suspension, and a handful of owners report the Service 4WD warning light appearing with the four-wheel-drive system behaving erratically.

By System
The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L has 3 recalls, the most serious involving rear coil springs that can detach from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard and raising the risk of a crash.
A loose connector for the front seat side airbags can prevent them from deploying in a side-impact crash, leaving occupants without that protection when they need it most. There is also an infotainment concern: a transistor in the center touchscreen display can overheat and cause the rearview camera image to stop displaying, reducing the driver's visibility when backing up.
