While driving my Ineos Grenadier in the middle of the Arizona desert, the steering suddenly became difficult to control due to a tie rod nut coming loose. The vehicle began wandering and required constant correction to maintain control, creating a serious safety concern in a remote area far from immediate assistance. There were no warning lamps, messages, or alerts displayed inside the vehicle before or during the incident. Just one week prior, the steering and front end components had been inspected by an authorized dealer during service, and no issues were identified at that time. Upon inspection after the incident, the tie rod hardware was found loose, which could have resulted in a complete loss of steering control if not caught in time. This appears to be a known issue within the Ineos Grenadier community involving steering and tie rod hardware concerns. The failure presents a significant safety risk to vehicle occupants and others on the road, especially during off road or remote travel where recovery and emergency services may not be readily available.

While traveling on a rough road I experienced a side curtain airbag deployment on our Ineos Grenadier. There was no impact or roll over. There was only one person in the vehicle, the driver, yet both the drivers side and passenger side airbags deployed along with the drivers seatbelt locking mechanism. The airbags never deflated, leaving the driver trapped in the vehicle. To exit the vehicle a knife had to be used to deflate the drivers side airbag. Over one hour later the passenger side airbag had never deflated and also required a knife to puncture it. If there was an actual roll over and water was involved, I fear that the occupants of the vehicle could not get out. Something is faulty with this system.

Excessive play with the transfer case shifter. Shifter was in locked position (4 High). Transmission was in Park. Hand brake was disengaged. Transfer case was actually not locked into gear and truck roll on it own. Had to move shifter around to get the transfer case back in gear. Other problem w/ the shifter (A) it would stuck in 4 High, not able to to change into 4 High Lock, 4 Low, or 4 Low Lock (B) it would not secure in other positions except 4 High.
