2019 Jeep Cherokee

While im driving my car completley shuts down with no notice or anything. I have to restart the whole vehicle for it to start running again. This happened to me while i was on the high way slowing down and on the street slowing down to turn. I almost got into 2 car accidents this morning because of this. Not sure whats going on but my dashboard completely goes blank and flashes when this happened. This occured on 10/29/2025 at 6;45-6;50 am.

The service 4-wheel drive light warning light came on. It is a PTU issue that Jeep has recalled 63K vehicles on in February. My jeep has been sitting in the shop since 9/8/2025 with no anticipated date of receiving a part. It is unsafe to drive the vehicle; therefore, I have been without a vehicle for almost 2 months. Jeep is aware of the issue and is doing nothing to correct the issue.

The 4WD service light keeps coming on and off in my 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus. The obd2 code c1494-92 displays. This is directly related to a Power Transfer Unit (PTU) issue. There was a recall issued in January of 2025 (recall 01C). However, I am being told that my VIN is not covered under this recall. I contacted the manufacturer (Jeep) and there were not able to give me a reason why the 01C recall does not cover my vehicle. The NHTSA referred me to the manufacturer. But I keep getting the runaround and nobody is providing me a clear answer on this issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving up an incline, the vehicle lost power with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact restarted the vehicle before the vehicle was reset and resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the electrical system was rebooted because of a loosened wire inside the vehicle. Despite the reboot, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and was diagnosed with a defective alternator. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the alternator was replaced. Approximately a month after the repair, the failure returned, and the power steering assist, battery, 4WD, and other unknown warning lights flashed on the instrument panel. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 61,738

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the infotainment system screen was delaminating, causing the touchscreen to activate the heat, the A/C, and other systems independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the infotainment system needed to be replaced, and the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall for the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee with only 30,000 miles. The car is mostly used to drive to and from work. Nothing crazy. The SVC 4WD light came on. I took it to a JEEP dealership. They said, “Transfer Case - Clutch Pressure Regulating Solenoid: C14A7-97 - PTU Motor-Component or System Operation Obstructed or Blocked, FOUND THAT THE TRANSFER CASE COLLAR SPLINES ARE GONE, WE NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE ASSEMBLY.” Like others have posted, a similar recall was issued but they said it doesn’t apply to my car. However, SO many people are having this issue the parts are on back order. They want to charge $13,000 to fix it. How is this possible with a car that has only 30,000 miles, no accidents, and regular maintenance?

4WD Service Light stays on and Dealership says PTU Actuator box needs replaced @ nearly $4,000 It's a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 70 miles on it. The part is on a high alert back order and may take a very long time to come in. I am really pissed because I have only owned it for 10 months and if I keep driving it, it could destroy the transmission.
