NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Electrical complaints lead the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee owner reports, with drivers describing a range of issues including power loss while driving, inoperable components, and unexpected behavior from powered features like the tailgate closing without warning. Fuel and propulsion complaints are the next most common, where owners report sudden loss of power at highway speeds, in some cases with no warning before the vehicle became unresponsive. Forward collision avoidance draws a smaller but notable cluster of complaints, with owners describing the system behaving unexpectedly or failing to perform as anticipated. A handful of isolated reports mention transmission concerns, including a replacement required on a near-new vehicle after grinding developed during highway driving. The electrical complaints in particular span multiple subsystems, from propulsion-related power cuts to body control functions.

By System
The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee has 3 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect on 4Xe plug-in hybrid models where the battery can fail internally and catch fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven.
The 4Xe models carry a second powertrain concern as well: a software error in the hybrid control processor can cut drive power without warning, leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate and raising the risk of a collision. Both of these recalls apply only to the plug-in hybrid variant. On the safety equipment side, a separate software error in the occupant restraint controller can delay side airbag deployment during a crash, meaning the bags may not inflate quickly enough to protect occupants from a side impact.
