Listen: Grand Cherokees Get Stop Sale After Defective Electronics
Stellantis issued a temporary stop sale on some of its 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L SUVs after owners complained their key fobs were losing connection to the vehicles and causing them to brick.
The Drive reported owners using a Jeep Garage forum to air their grievances. A few days later, The Drive said Stellantis\u2019 FCA sent a notice to dealers informing them of the stop sale and cited a \u201cradio frequency hub module\u201d can cause communication issues between the key fob and the vehicle.\xa0
However, a Jeep spokesperson told The Drive a solution had been identified and the company was expediting appropriate parts to its dealer network. The spokesperson added it affects a limited number of vehicles and would not require a safety recall.\xa0
