Other Jeep Grand Cherokee suspension problems

The list of recalls is starting to grow surprisingly for the new generation Jeep Grand Cherokee. Two were added this week, including one that sold nearly 340,000 copies in the United States and some 17,000 in Canada. We are talking more precisely Grand Cherokee 2022 to 2023 and Grand Cherokee L 2021 to 2023 (extended wheelbase).

“Constant review of customer feedback led to a group investigation that found that (these vehicles) had a defective tightening bolt,” explained the manufacturer in a press release.

Indeed, in some cases, one or more of the upper ball bearing suspension bolts may have been damaged during production, putting the suspension arms at risk of separating from the steering knuckles. This condition may cause loss of vehicle control and may cause an accident. Drivers may also notice an unusual noise or vibration when driving over bumps.

The manufacturer, which estimates that only 1% of affected Jeeps may be affected, says it has not received any reports of accidents or injuries related to this manufacturing defect, thankfully.
Owners will receive a notification in the mail shortly and should take their vehicle to a dealer to have the upper arm bolts replaced.

Last year, most factory Grand Cherokees and Grand Cherokee L he had been remembered to an improperly assembled steering wheel shaft that can separate from the universal joint, as well as improperly installed rear coil springs that can loosen while driving.

Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the 10 2024 models with the worst expected reliability according to the American magazine Consumer Reports, and this is because of its problems not only with the suspension, but also with the car, electrical and electronic systems as well as various noises and leaks. Consider yourself warned.
