Owners have filed 135 complaints
about the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L with NHTSA between 2024 and 2026.
The largest single group is the suspension.
Across this model's run it ranks 3 of 6 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 70
Against the median year of the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 27
5.2% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 46
27% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
How 2023 compares with every other Jeep Grand Cherokee L
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

Recalls on the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. In addition, a burnt odor was emitting from the interior of the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to pull to the side of the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact noticed flames were emitting from the brake caliper assembly, and the brake rotor was red on the front passenger-side tire.

Unalaska, AK
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I live in Unalaska/Dutch Harbor, Alaska, where there are no authorized Jeep/Chrysler/RAM dealerships. The manufacturer requires me to ship the vehicle to Anchorage at my own cost, which is not possible. They refuse to authorize a local repair or send a technician. Because of this, I cannot complete multiple open recalls, including 01D (NHTSA 26V-328). I am requesting that this be classified as “Unable to Remedy Due to Manufacturer Limitations.”

The rear coil spring has detached from this 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L twice. The first time, the coil detached while we were driving more than a year ago. The second time, the coil detached while the vehicle was parked in our driveway last month. This is especially concerning because this vehicle has been subject to multiple recalls involving the rear coil spring. We also own another 2023 Grand Cherokee L (VIN ending 1431), and its rear coil spring also detached while we were driving. Between our two vehicles, we have experienced three separate coil-spring detachments. We are very concerned that the repeated recalls and repairs have not resolved this safety issue and no longer feel confident that these vehicles are safe to drive.

The lumbar had independently activated approximately 15–20 minutes earlier. Not sure if the 2 are related or if the is just coincidental?

I am experiencing two serious issues with my Jeep that have raised significant safety concerns. First, the front passenger seat's lumbar bladder repeatedly inflates on its own, making the seat extremely uncomfortable and causing severe back pain for anyone sitting in it. I have been informed that this is a known issue affecting many Jeeps of this model. The dealership previously deflated the lumbar bladder under warranty, but now the problem has returned. I was told I must pay for the repair out of pocket because the previous deflation supposedly voided or disqualified the warranty coverage. I do not believe I should be responsible for paying to fix a recurring defect that was previously addressed under warranty. Second, the Electronic Brake System (EBS) warning light comes on randomly, and when it does, my vehicle unexpectedly slows down or comes to a stop. This creates an extremely dangerous situation while driving. I have been fortunate to avoid a collision so far, but I am very concerned for my safety and the safety of my four children, who regularly ride in the vehicle with me. I am requesting that these issues be thoroughly investigated and repaired at no cost to me, as they involve recurring defects and serious safety risks. I also request a written explanation of why my warranty claim for the recurring seat defect was denied after the dealership's previous repair.

New Orleans, LA
SUSPENSION
The coil spring on the rear passenger side has become detached from my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited. I was unaware that it had happened when I started to drive and could hear something kind of bouncing around. When I got out of the vehicle to see what was going on, I could see that the rear of the car seemed unusually low. That is when I looked under and saw the spring dangling next to the tire. It could've caused a bad accident if it had gotten caught up in the tire or if it had completely detached and either hit another car or caused another car to hit it. The vehicle had a recall for this in 2023, before I owned it, and the status says "inspected" but not repaired. There was another recall early in 2026 for this same issue, but at this time, my vehicle is not part of that recall. However, it should be as this is a dangerous, scary issue that isn't immediately evident. I'm just grateful that I was in my neighborhood when it happened and not driving on the interstate at a high rate of speed, as there was nothing to indicate that it was imminently happening. It hasn't been inspected yet as it just happened but I will have it towed tomorrow to get inspected and repaired. It is underivable in its current condition.
