2019 Jeep Cherokee

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS STALLED OUT, WITH OUT WARNING, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS ENGINE, THE 2.4L HAS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM, IN THAT BURNS ABOUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES AND WHEN THE OIL GETS TOO LOW THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS, JUST SHUTS EVERYTHING OFF. AT 70 MILES PER HOUR IN TRAFFIC, HAVING THE ENGINE STOP AND SUDDENLY LOSING POWER STEERING AND TRYING TO MOVE THOUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER WHILE RAPIDLY DECELERATING IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALER AND FCA ARE OFFERING NO SOLUTIONS FOR THIS ISSUE. FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY PERSPECTIVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED, NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTS COSTS AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ASPECTS.

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IN THE TURN LANE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, ON A HILL, IN THE RAIN. THE CAR ONLY RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO LOSE STEERING FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL COME ON WITH THE ISSUES DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALSO, THE CAR WILL CHIME WHILE DRIVING, WITH NO TROUBLE INDICATION ON THE DASHBOARD.

THIS HAPPENED MONTHS AGO AND THEY CLEANED SOME CONNECTIONS TO FIX IT BUT ITS HAPPENING AGAIN. AT FULL SPEED THE CAR COMPLETELY LOSES ALL ELECTRONICS INCLUDING POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AND THE DASH GOES BLANK. THEN IT FLASHES A SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING WHILE EVERY ALARM AND LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUTTING IT IN PARK IT WILL RESTART AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER 2 DAYS.

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THERE IS A DINGING NOISE AND A QUICK FLASH OF THE BATTERY LIGHT AND THEN IT SAYS THE PRESS BRAKE AND PUSH START. I CAN NOT ACCELERATE BUT CAN BRAKE. AS SOON AS I'M COMPLETELY STOPPED, THE STEERING LOCKS AND IT STRUGGLES TO START AGAIN. IT IS RANDOM AND HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE IN A ROW. IT HAPPENED 4 MONTHS AGO AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE BATTERY FAILED AND REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN A WEEK AGAIN WHILE I WAS TURNING. AFTER I RESTARTED IT, IT DID IT LIKE 15 SECONDS LATER. THEN TWO DAYS AFTER THAT IT SHUT OFF RANDOMLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING 35-40 MPH DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD. I'VE TAKEN IT IN AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. BATTERY WAS FINE, NO CODES. EVEN THE SOFTWARE THAT GOT UPDATED BECAUSE OF THE RECALL (STALLING WHILE DRIVING) WAS FINE. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE SAY THAT THE OIL LEVEL CAN CAUSE IT TO STALL, BUT MY OIL WAS AT 60% AT THE TIME IT STARTED HAPPENING. IT'S NOT SAFE THAT THE CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WITHOUT NOTICE, WHILE DRIVING ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY. THAT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME.

GOOD EVENING! I PURCHASED THIS 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS WITH ONLY 10 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST 1000 MILES WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE START/STOP FEATURE. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE 40 FAULT CODES. THEY CLEARED THEM AND MOVED ON. IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEY CLEARED THAT CODE AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT IT WAS WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND MULTIPLE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A LOOSE BATTERY AND WIRE. THEY FIXED IT AND NOW WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO. THE SCREEN KEEPS FLICKERING AND MAKE BEEP NOISES. IT HAS EVEN FROZEN UP ON US. WE HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL OF THIS WITH VIDEOS AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. AFTER THE 7TH TIME BRINGING IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS STILL UNABLE TO FIX IT. I TRIED TO HIGHER A LAWYER TO SEE IF THIS IS LEMON BUT WITHOUT THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. I JUST WANT MY BRAND NEW CAR FIXED. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER REVIEW WITH THE SAME ISSUES PLEASE INVESTIGATE!! THANK YOU!

I HAD JUST HAD MY VEHICLE 6 WEEKS DRIVING FROM A STOP TO ANOTHER STOP. CAR STARTED CHUGGING THOUGHT I HADN'T GIVEN ENOUGH GAS THEN I THOUGHT IT POWERED DOWN AT THE STOP .LIGHTS WENT OUT ON BOTH CLUSTERS WENT TO ACCELERATE CHUGGED COULDN'T GET ACROSS STREET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I COASTED TO THE SIDE AND IT WOULDN'T START WAITED 15 MIN INCHED HOME ABOUT 3 MILES CALLED DEALER SENT A TOW TO PICK CAR UP HAD IT FOR A WEEK HAS SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK 500 MILES WHEN IT HAPPENED HAS 3500 NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE. I NEED A VEHICLE CAN'T LEAVE FOR EXTENDED TIME AND NOTHING IS DONE

6 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK, MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF MID DRIVE. AS I AM DRIVING, MY CAR WILL DING, MY BATTERY LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND THEN MY CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITHIN 3-5 SECONDS. I WILL HAVE TO TURN MY KEY TO OFF, WAIT A MINUTE AND RESTART. I WILL HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL AND MY CAR WILL SPUTTER BEFORE IT TURNS OVER AND STARTS BACK UP. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, I DO NOT HAVE ANY ENGINE LIGHTS DISPLAYED ON MY SCREEN FOR ATTENTION AND EVERYTHING RUNS SMOOTHLY. I HAVE ALSO CHECKED MY BATTERY ON THE SCREEN DISPLAY AS I DRIVE AND IT IS ALWAYS BETWEEN 14.2-14.4V. DURING THESE SHUTS, MY CAR IS GOING UNDER 30 MILES PER HOUR, BUT HAS HAPPENED AS I AM TURNING AND GOING STRAIGHT. MOST RECENTLY (THIS MORNING), I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT (HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AT MY APARTMENT) AND MY BATTERY LIGHT TURNED ON AND MY CAR LOCKED. THE STEERING WHEEL AND PEDALS WERE UNUSABLE, BUT MY ENGINE REMAINED ON. I CHECKED MY BATTERY DURING THIS AND IT SAYS IT WAS AT 12.2V. I HAD TO SHUT MY CAR OFF, PUMP THE GAS TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER AND MY BATTERY DISPLAYED AS BACK AT 14.4V. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS OUT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX (EVERY 50 FEET OR SO) AND I TURNED AROUND AND PARKED AGAIN. I HAD MY CAR HOOKED UP TO DIAGNOSTICS MACHINE AFTER IT BEGAN THE FIRST SHUT DOWNS, BUT IT RETURNED WITH NO ERROR CODES AND MY BATTERY TESTED FINE AND ALL THE WIRES WERE SECURE. I CALLED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED I AM OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY (BY 800 MILES), SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT WITH MY CAR. I CAN SEE THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH THAT MANY OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS ARE HAVING THESE EXACT ISSUES AND JEEP IS GIVING THEM THE RUNAROUND. I ALSO SEE THERE ARE SOME RECALLS FOR JEEP PERTINENT TO THIS CONCERN, HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY SON WAS IN MY CAR FOR ALL OCCURRENCES + I HAVE A 30 MIN COMMUTE.
