Buying a used 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Check these 7 recalls first
The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee has 7 recalls in this group, including diesel EGR cooler cracking, rollaway, power loss, diesel fuel pump failure and stalling, and a brake module fault. A backup camera image remaining onscreen is another listed concern. Braking stands out in the 365 unverified owner complaints: service brakes account for 116 reports and hydraulic for 64, while electrical system has 82. Review brake repair history alongside recall completion rather than treating complaint categories as confirmed diagnoses.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify brake module and rollaway recall completion.
- Check VIN applicability and repairs for EGR cooler and diesel fuel campaigns.
- Ask about braking faults or power loss; test camera image clearing.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
