Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 3 model years this bulletin names have filed 975 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 322 of them name Engine, Power Train — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The contact stated while driving approximately 52 MPH, the cruise control inadvertently disengaged and the vehicle was unable to accelerate as needed.

Svc 4wd light went on in the car after start-up, and i tried to reverse from my parking spot with the wheel turned and it felt like the emergency brakes were on. I stopped to check and they were not. i tried to reverse again and the car starts making a grinding noise and jerking motion as it pulls out slowly.

While traveling on San Marcos Highway between Luling and San Marcos at 65 MPH, the vehicle began to lose speed and I realized the engine was no longer powering the vehicle. No warning indicators other than an unresponsive throttle. I was able to coast off onto the shoulder and bring the vehicle to a stop.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Jeep 9004487 a recall?

Is the 9004487 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Stellantis warranty extension on file lists the ones Stellantis has filed.
Which vehicles does 9004487 cover?
