I have the same problem with my new 2019 Grand Cherokee Summit not starting. Ran fine last night. Went out to start it today and all the warning lights came on the dash rotating through with service needed text. The car has 1378 miles on it. It also showed text that car was not in park. It was in park and I couldn't release it. Couldn't lock the car. Tried repeatedly to start it; even waited 20 minutes to retry. Then interior & dash lights started a flashing cycle. I could not get them to stop. After 3 hours of that, the battery is now totally dead. Having it towed to dealer in the morning. I just traded in a beautiful 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with 133,000 miles so I would have a newer dependable car for long distance travel by myself. How ironic.

Correction my 2003 Jeep was an Overland, not Limited. :)
My Jeep Cherokee didn’t start this morning. I have the same problem as Joansalvtore’s. It was fine a day before and completely dead in the morning. Mine has about 1337 miles on it. Going to get it town to the dealer. Did they figure out what happened to the car?
I also had the exact same thing happen to my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk W/ 38232 miles (and it literally ran out of warranty 2232 miles ago!). First incident (of 2) on a rainy day 12/2/19. Car will not start, all engine lights on, will not turn off. Towed still on to dealership, they disconnected battery to shut it off. Car was kept for 4 days. Their finding: connector #X6020A on the right side lower “A” post kick panel had water in it and shorted out. Connector cleaned out and covered to keep it from getting wet. My question to them: why was the cover missing, and how such essential part can fall off. Without this protective cover water will leak into the main board and the system will protect itself by shutting off. Seven days later same issue on also a rainy day. Tow company will not disconnect battery because they are not familiar with this battery system. Next day car was found with dead battery, charged and car runs with no issues. They also say they sealed the lower drivers side kick panel so it doesn’t get water on the inside where there is electrical components inside. The Jeep worked fine for exactly a week. It was a super rainy day and at work it happened again. Wouldn’t start, dash was lighting up with numerous faults but many about the transmission having an issue and saying it was staying in 4th gear and to pull over to a safe area. So unfortunately, it’s back at the dealership and has been there for 5 days. They told me that the manufacturer is involved (again). I’ll post again once I find out more
