2016 Jeep Cherokee complaints

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING.TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. WAS 3 QUARTS LOW. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED, THAT THIS ENGINE USES ABOUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES BUT THE ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF BEFORE IT WOULD BLOW ENGINE. MY HUSBAND TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT IF THEY PUT AN ENGINE IN A VEHICLE THAT USES OILS THIS WAY THEY SHOULD LET PEOPLE KNOW. WE HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER WITH NOTHING OTHER THAN HAVE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE WHICH WE DID. WE NOW KEEP OIL AND CHECK ON A REGULAR BASIS

THE RPM'S ON THIS TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE GO UP VERY HIGH BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND SLOWS ON THE OPEN ROAD. THE ENGINE DOES RUN ON ALL CYLINDERS. THE ENGINE HAS NO POWER. THIS CREATES A SAFETY RISK ON A HIGHWAY. ALSO THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKS UP WHEN YOU HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES AND THREE REAR OF THE CAR LOCKS UP AND SKIDS LEFT OF CENTER. PARTY'S OF THE SUSPENSION HAVE BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE LEFT REAR CONTROL ARM BROKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH CHRYSLER ON THREE OCCASIONS INFORMING THEM OF THE NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AND THEY WOULD WORK WITH ME TO BUY THIS CAR BACK. I DID AS REQUESTED AND NOW BEING INFORMED I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO GO TO ARBITRATION. THREE TIMES NOW WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARD ON A HIGHWAY THE EAST LOCKED UP AND THE LEFT REAR OF MY CAR SKIDDED AND I HAD NO CONTROL. I NEARLY HIT A RETAINING WALL. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

BOUGHT THE CAR 10/3/2018 WITH A FRESH OIL CHANGE, 12/18/2018 CAR SHUT OFF ON HUSBAND WHILE DRIVING WITH KIDS IN THE CAR (THE ENGINE DIED, STEERING LOCKED UP, THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED AND AN ERROR POPPED UP THAT SAID TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND SELECT THE DESIRED GEAR) NO OIL LIGHT EVER CAME ON TO WARN LOW OIL 12/20/2018 CAR SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WENT TO DEALER AND OIL CHANGE WAS COMPLETED, LESS THAN 4K MILES DRIVEN AND THERE WAS ONLY QUART OF OIL LEFT IN ENGINE (5 QT BURNED) 12/21/2018 CALLED DEALER BECAUSE CAR SKIPPED, WAS TOLD NORMAL DUE TO AIR GETTING INTO ENGINE CAUSING A MISFIRE SHOULD BE FINE NOW 1/7/2019 CAR SPUTTERED TWICE WHILE DRIVING, FELT LIKE IT SHUT OFF BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER AND THE CAR WAS LOW BY 1 QUARTS OF OIL STARTED OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING. WHEN CAR STALLS OUT IT IS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED TO "SAVE THEIR ENGINE"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT AND REAR FLOORS WERE CONSTANTLY WET. THE CONTACT ASSUMED THE WATER WAS DUE TO LEAVING THE WINDOWS OPEN AFTER A RAINY WEEKEND; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVEN WHEN THE WINDOWS WERE CLOSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERIDIAN CHRYSLER (1210 39 N, MERIDIAN, MS 39301, 833-253-1910) AND WAS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A THERMOSTAT ISSUE. MY TOTAL REPAIR COST FOR THIS ONE PROBLEM WAS $866.06 AT THE PARAMUS NJ DEALER. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAD SUCH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHEN MY CAR IS 2016 AND I HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. I'M ALSO DISAPPOINTED THAT I WAS TOLD ONLY DEALERS CAN UPDATE THE COMPUTER ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING OF SENSOR ISSUES NOTING REPAIR WORK WASN'T NECESSARY. ALSO, WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY AUTO START DID NOT WORK.

MY JEEP KEEPS BREAKING DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL WRECKS BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE NOW DONE MY OWN RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE GOING ON WITH CARS THAT HAVE MY SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS I AM ALL OVER THE US. I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WHO WERE WRITING THESE COMMENTS ON THE JEEP WEBSITE AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THEY ARE NOT DEPENDABLE AND HIGHLY UNSAFE AS THEY HAVE ALSO ALMOST GOT INTO WRECKS BECAUSE OF IT. AT THIS POINT ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS GETS HURT DUE TO THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION OR WORSE, DEATH. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO STOP THE SALE OF THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I AM STUNNED NOTHING HAS YET TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK 3 TIMES AND THE ISSUE IS NOT GETTING FIXED. NOW, I'M TOLD THAT THEY ARE HAVING TO OPEN SOME "STAR" THING - WHICH HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ASKING THE MANUFACTURE IF THESE ISSUES ARE COMMON AND WHAT TO DO TO FIX THEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE BEEN PUT THROUGH HELL AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE CAR CAN BE FIXED. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIPS NOT BEING ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG SO THEY JUST GIVE THE BROKEN CAR BACK TO THE OWNER AND IT GOES BACK ON THE ROAD. I AM TELLING YALL T

FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO TURN ME AWAY

PURCHASED VEHICLE ON 12/14/2015. ON 1/25/17, AT 17,000 MILES THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY AND CAUSING A TRAFFIC ISSUE. LAW ENFORCEMENT HAD TO BE CALLED TO RE-DIRECT TRAFFIC. SINCE THE FIRST STALL, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE LOCAL DODGE/JEEP DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUES (4/20/17, 8/18/17, 3/25/18 AND 12/4/18). THEY HAVE REPLACED COILS, FILTERS AND EXPLAINED THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN IF IT SENSES LOW OIL. THEY CONTINUE TO STATE THE OIL CONSUMPTION AS THE REASON FOR THE STALLS. THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION BUT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN EVERY 1000K MILES TO CHECK THE OIL. THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON 12/25/18. LUCKILY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO STOP. IF NOT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT WITH MY TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE. USUALLY IT TAKES SEVERAL HOURS FOR THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN BUT ON THIS INCIDENT THE VEHICLE STARTED WITHIN 5 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SHOWING A "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND THE DEALER STATED IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WAS BACK ON WITHIN 15 DAYS OF REPLACING THE BATTERY. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. IN THE LAST 4 DAYS MY CAR HOW JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF 3 TIMES ON 12/23/18, 12/26/18 AND 12/27/18, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN 4 TIMES BUT I DIDN'T DRIVE ON CHRISTMAS DAY. THE FIRST 2 TIMES IT HAPPENED I WAS LEAVING MY WORK PARKING LOT DRIVING NO MORE THAN 10-15 MPH. TODAY 12/27 MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT . THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING AT ALL! LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN I STALLED. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT COULD BE AN OIL ISSUE, SO THEY ARE JUST DOING AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAID THEY RECOMMEND BRING THE CAR BACK EVERY 1000 MILES TO CHECK LEVELS!! WHAT KIND OF SOLUTION IS THAT ? I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE TO SCHOOL! I CAN'T HAVE THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING THEM!

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE AND WARNING LIGHT APPEARS TO SHIFT CAR IN GEAR. THEN CAR TURNS OFF. CAN NOT USE BREAKS, ALL ELECTRONICS FLASH AND COLTAGE LIGHT ALARM COMES ON. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE, NO ERRORS FOUND. MY CHILDREN DROVE IT TODAY AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME IN ALONG WITH A MESSAGE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS DEAD. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND AGAIN NO ERROR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT JEEP DOES NOTHING.

MY CAR, IN 4X4 MODE, LOST CONTROL ON AN OFF-RAMP AND STRUCK A CONCRETE BASE TO AN INTERSTATE STREET LIGHT. ZERO AIRBAGS WENT OFF DESPITE ME TOTALING THE CAR AND EXTENSIVE DAMAGE DONE TO THE FRONT END. THE SHEER FORCE OF THE IMPACT BRUISED MY ARM, BLACKENED MY EYE AND RIPPED MY EYELID IN HALF, INJURING MY RIGHT EYE AND SENDING ME TO THE TRAUMA UNIT FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY.

WHEN DRIVING I NOTICE WHEN I STOP ON THE BRAKE AND GAS BOTH WOULD NOT WORK. THE DASHBOARD ICON OF THE BATTERY ILLUMINATED, THE NOTIFICATION SOUND PLAYED, AND THE CAR SLOWED TO A STOP. ALSO, THE NOTIFICATION CENTER DISPLAYED "SHIFT TO PARK". I SHIFTED INTO PARK, PLACED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, AND WAVED THE CARS THAT WERE BEHIND ME TO DRIVE AROUND. MADE THE ATTEMPT TO RESTART TWICE WITH NO SUCH LUCK. THE THIRD ATTEMPT SAW THE CAR TURN BACK ON SUCCESSFULLY. ..*BF.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GLADSTONE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP & RAM (5610 N OAK TRAFFICWAY, GLADSTONE, MO 64118, (816) 455-350) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

SOON AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE IN THE A.M. ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE APPEARED AND ALL RED LIGHTS CAME ON THE PRNDL SHIFT SELECTOR; CAUSE UNKNOWN; REPORTS OF A RECALL ONLINE THAT HAVE CAUSED A CELEBRITY FATALITY, BUT NO RECALL ON NHTSA USING VIN;

I'VE HAD A SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEAR NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEN DISAPPEAR. WHEN I WOULD TAKE IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECORD OF THAT CODE BEING DISPLAYED IN THE CAR LOG/MEMORY AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DELEARSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. UPON DOING RESEARCH ON THIS MESSAGE I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IF LEFT UNCHECKED CAN CAUSE THE VECHICLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHILE IN MOTION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENTS. I HAVE RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE WHILE BOTH STATIONARY JUST WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION ON A ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE FAILED TO OPEN WITH THE ELECTRONIC BUTTON FUNCTION. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN THE LIFTGATE WITH THE POTENTIAL RISK OF BEING IMPACTED BY THE LIFTGATE COMING DOWN. LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM BOISE (222 S AUTO DR, BOISE, ID 83709) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER RECALL CAMPAIGN AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK OR DRIVE, THE GEAR FAILED TO SHIFT AND A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR THE SHIFTING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER; HOWEVER, A WARRANTY WOULD BE AVAILABLE WITHIN THIRTY DAYS. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED PER THE WARRANTY. THE SHIFTER CONTINUED TO FUNCTION IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM ANY POWER TRAIN RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE CAR DIED WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A SAFE PLACE, BUT CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AGAIN AFTER FOR A FEW HOURS. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND CAME TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR DIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AND HE ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND HIM. THIS IS NOT SAFE. WE HAVE A ONE MONTH OLD CHILD, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING HER IN THE CAR. *DT*JB

THIS JEEP STALLS OUT AT LOW SPEEDS AND ONCE STALLED OUT AT 55 MPH. DEALER SAYS THIS ENGINE THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER HAS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES AND IT IS QUITE NORMAL FOR THE ENGINE TO USE 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED. WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND SLOW DOWN SUCH AS TO MAKE A TURN OR STOP AT A REDLIGHT, THE ENGINE DIES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE ON IT, AND THE TEST INDICATED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED CLEANING OR THE AIR FILTER WAS DIRTY. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND THE AIR FILTER REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THE IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE I WAS IN AN INTERSECTION MAKING A TURN. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL GET HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC, IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE NOR IS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE. JEEP NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

MY PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR (FRONT AND BACK) GET FLOODED WHEN IT RAINS.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY, ALL THE SUDDEN SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON AND TRANSMISSION METER WENT UP TO THE HIGHEST POINT, CAR STOPPED BY ITSELF. BESIDE STEERING, EVERYTHING ELSE STOPPED WORKING. THANK GOD, I WAS NEXT TO EMERGENCY LINE. I ONLY GOT 30 SECOND TO GET OUT HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC ROAD.

WHEN DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST VIRGINIAN HAVING THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70 EVERYTHING WORKS FINE UNTIL YOU COME TO A STEEP DOWN HILL GRADE. SUDDENLY I WOULD LOOK DOWN AND I WOULD BE DOING 90 MILES A HOUR AND THE ENGINE RPM IS OVER 5000. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. 3 TIMES I WOULD JUST TOUCH THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE RPM WOULD IMMEDIATELY GO DOWN TO AROUND 2000 RPM. ONE TIME I HADE TO STAND ON THE BRAKES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS UNTIL THE RPM WOULD GO DOWN. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR ONE TIME. MY SON DROVE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS ON OUR WAY TO THE EAST COAST AND I DROVE THROUGH THEM ON THE WAY HOME. HE TOLD ME THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR JUST OVER 2 YEARS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS FINE. THE ONLY TIME I HAVE PROBLEMS IS IN THE MOUNTAINS ON A DOWN HILL ROAD.

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING; ON THE EXPRESSWAY, AFTER A CAR WASH, IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. ONLINE COMPLAINTS ARE PLENTIFUL...THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT!! CURRENTLY AT THE SHOP, THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

THE FIRST DAY I HAD THE CAR I TOOK IT BACK COMPLAINING OF SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR I TOOK A ROAD TRIP DURING THE TRIP A SMELL THE SCENT OF RAID OVER POWERED THE CAR AND IS STILL PRESENT IN THE CAR TODAY SO BAD AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY EIGHT HOURS.ON THAT TRIP AND I FELT AS IF I WAS GONNA PASS OUT. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THE SMELL IS STILL IN THE CAR. I ONLY DRIVE TO THE STORE AND BACK NOW.

THE TURN SIGNAL RIGHT STARTED TO GO OFF TOOK IT TO DEALER THEY REPAIR THIS HAPPEN S4 TIMES IN 2 YRS NOW THE LEFT SIDE IS DOING IT AND THE RIGHT SIDE ALSO THEY SAID IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND ITS GOING TO COST ME 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY EACHI TS NOT A PART THAT IS MOVED ITS A PLUG.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER INDICATION OF ISSUES. WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND NO INDICATION LIGHTS ON AGAIN BUT DRIVING FINE. CHECKED OIL LEVEL THIS MORNING AND IT IS AT 83% AFTER ONLY 1375 MILES. EXTREMELY UNSAFE!!! CONDITIONS WERE DARK/NIGHTTIME AND ALL ELECTRICAL SHUT OFF AS WELL LEAVING US TO BE UNSEEN AND ALMOST HIT BY 18 WHEELER. THIS IS THE 3RD MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR. IT HAS NEEDED NEW STARTER COIL, NEW THERMOSTAT AND NOW THIS.

I SAW ON CREDIT KARMA MY VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL RECALLS

I PURCHASED A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AND SINCE DAY ONE THE START/STOP FEATURE NEVER HAVE WORKED PROPERLY AND IT WASN'T UNTIL RECENTLY THAT, I WAS TOLD BY MY CURRENT DEALER THAT, IT IS THE BACKUP BATTERY AND THAT JEEP HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND SUPPOSEDLY JEEP IS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER MANUFACTURER BUT, I FEEL JEEP ALWAYS KNEW THIS AND DID NOT INFORM THE DEALERS AND CONSUMERS. THIS IS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND THE JEEP REPRESENTATIVE HAVE SAID TO ME THAT, SHE HAVE SOME PEOPLE ON HER LIST AND I AM NOT ONE OF THEM AND AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT/COMPLAIN, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION, UPDATE EITHER FROM THE DEALER OR JEEP. IF OTHER CONSUMERS JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEN; WHY JEEP FAIL TO REPORT THE SITUATION AS A "RECALL"? THE START/STOP AND BACKUP BATTERY IS NOT A CRITICAL PROBLEM THAT MIGHT STOP THE CAR FROM FUNCTIONING BUT, IF I DECIDE TO SELL OR GIVE THE CAR ON TRADE-IN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ASK ME ABOUT IT AND I'M AFRAID I MIGHT LOSE MONEY/VALUE BECAUSE OF THE FEATURE NOT WORKING.

AT 61,000 MILES MY JEEP STARTED HAVING A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE CABIN AFTER COMING TO A STOP WITH THE AUTO-START DIS-ENGAGED. READING ONLINE, MANY PEOPLE ON THE FORUMS HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH CHEROKEES SINCE THE EARLY 2000'S WITH NO KNOWN MALFUNCTION TO FIX. THE EXHAUST SMELL HAS CAUSED HEADACHES IN THE LAST WEEK.

A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. WE HAD IT SERVICED ONCE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL GEARS ARE LIT UP AS TO SAY YOU'RE IN ALL GEARS P,R,N,D....ETC. THE CAR AT TIMES WON'T PICK UP SPEED RIGHT AWAY AND ALSO PAUSES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

WHILE DRIVING AND VEHICLE IN MOTION UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE BY ITSELF WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SAFETY CONCERNS. VEHICLES ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON AND JEEP DEALERSHIP CAN NOT DIAGNOSE AND PROPERLY FIX VEHICLE. VEHICLE EXPERIENCES UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING CAUSING MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS.

JEEP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. NOW THE SECOND ENGINE, AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES OF DRIVING, IS ALSO CONSUMING EXCESS OIL. PER CHRYSLER'S SERVICE BULLETIN 09-007-15 PUBLISHED ON 7/31/15, A 2016 MODEL YEAR VEHICLE IS ONLY ALLOWED TO CONSUME UP TO ONE QUART OF OIL PER 2,000 MILES DURING THE FIRST 50,000 MILES. JEEP SHOULD OBVIOUSLY BE PREPARING FOR A MASSIVE RECALL ISSUE HERE, AS THIS IS THE MOST COMMON ISSUE HERE FOR ALL JEEP CHEROKEE'S THAT HAVE THIS MODEL ENGINE.

SHORTLY AFTER A RIGHT TURN INTO A SHORT STEEP UPHILL SECTION OF ROAD, THE CAR JUST DIED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE DISPLAY MESSAGE SAID TO SHIFT INTO P THEN SELECT A GEAR. THE CAR HAD NO FUNCTIONALITY, IT WAS DEAD AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION. PUT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WAS ABLE TO OPERATE FOOT BRAKE WHICH WAS ALSO UNRESPONSIVE TO THAT POINT - PANICKING THAT THE CAR WOULD ROLL ACROSS THE INTERSECTION INTO THE DITCH. CAR WOULD NOT HOWEVER START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND TRIES, THE CAR STARTED AND DROVE AS THOUGH NOTHING HAD HAPPENED AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DISPLAY. DROVE HOME FROM WORK AND TO THE DEALER, LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. BUT SCARED THAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT REPEAT AND DELIBERATELY TOOK BACKROADS JUST IN CASE. CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I'D TAKEN THE INTERSTATE AND THE PROBLEM REPEATED. AFTER GETTING HOME, FOUND THEY HAD CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE ABOUT THERE BEING NO OIL. CALLED BACK - LONG CONVERSATION: - THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK (SO WHY DID THE OIL LIGHT NOT COME ON?) - THEY HAD CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER AND THE CAR WAS GOOD TO GO (REALLY?) - THEY RECOMMENDED BRINGING THE CAR BACK AFTER 1000 MILES TO CHECK OIL CONSUMPTION (SO IF THE CAR FOR WHATEVER REASON LOSES ITS OIL WILL IT REALLY BE SAFE TO DRIVE? COULD IT NOT HAPPEN THE NEXT MILE, THE 100TH MILE?) - THEY SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF OIL LEAKS (YES, WE WOULD HAVE NOTICED OIL SPOTS ON THE FLOOR OF OUR GARAGE) -

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. AT APPROXIMATELY 15K MILES, I STARTED HEARING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING FROM DRIVER TO REVERSE. I WENT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY THE DEALER FIGURED OUT THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 15K MILES. AT APPROXIMATELY 25K MILES, I WAS HEARING A WHISTLING SOUND ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT END WHEN CRUISING AT APROX. 20MHP OR LESS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER MULT. TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE DEALER REPLACED A REAR AXEL BOOT FOR THE SHAFT THAT WAS THROWING GREASE, THINKING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. I HEARD THE WHISTLING ONCE AGAIN BEFORE EVEN LEAVING THE LOT. THE DEALER FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT END BEARING WAS BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SHAFT AXLE. I HAVE HAD APPROX 4 TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATES DONE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATES THIS WOULD NEED TO BE PURCHASED FOR APPROX $140 EACH TIME AFTER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRES FOR THE JEEP. KEEP IN MIND MY JEEP HAS ONLY 33K MILES ON IT WAS THIS POINT. NOW I HAVE A JEEP THAT HAS A PANORAMIC SUNROOF THAT MAKES NOISE AS WELL WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND POTHOLES AND THE DEALER STATES THEY DO NOT HEAR ANYTHING. I HAVE A TIRE ALIGNMENT DONE ON THE JEEP AT 25K MILES FOR $120. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WITH 32K MILES ON IT TO HAVE THE SUNROOF CHECKED OUT AND THEY ARE T

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED AND WENT BLANK ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN MAY OF 2017 BY BETTENHAUSEN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (8255 W 159TH STREET, TINLEY PARK, IL 60477). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER FOR THE RECENT FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,551.

VEHICLE WAS HEADING DOWN A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. ANOTHER CAR PULLED INTO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF JEEP AND HIT HEAD ON. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND THE DRIVER WAS SEVERELY INJURED.

THE REAR HATCH WOULD NOT CLOSE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED HAD HAVE VEHICLE TOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED HE HAD NO PROBLEM CLOSING THE HATCH PICKED UP VEHICLE TWO WEEKS LATER SAME PROBLEM

WHILE DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT WOULD NOT START SO I HAD TO PUSH IT OFF THE ROAD. I'VE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW. SINCE HAVING IT THE PANEL WHICH DISPLAYS THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY GO BLACK. I'VE ALSO HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES IF I'M AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN IT TURNS GREEN THE CAR WILL REV AND NOT MOVE ANYWHERE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 60 TO 40 VERY FAST AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I'VE ALSO BEEN DRIVING BEFORE AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE IT MAKES A NOISE LIKE ITS SHIFTING SUPER LOUD AND THE BRAKE CLICKS. MY VEHICLE IS IN FOR SERVICE RIGHT NOW BUT I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AT ALL. IT ONLY HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. YESTERDAY NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AN ENGINE WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH WITH THE MESSAGE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND MY SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING VEHICLES. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER. ONCE STOPPED THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY AND ACCELERATION WAS RESTORED, BUT MESSAGE OCCURRED AGAIN AND POWER WAS AGAIN LOST.

AFTER I START THE CAR UP IN THE MORNING OR AFTER IT HAS SAT FOR AWHILE, IT WILL RUN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETELY DIE, THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SCREEN SAYS "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR". WHEN IT DOES THIS, I LOSE THROTTLE POWER, BREAKS AND STEERING. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO TURN IT OFF, WHEN I TRY AND TURN IT OFF IT CRANKS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO START AND WON'T. AFTER I GET THE CAR TURNED OFF AND GO TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT CRANKS REALLY HARD FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS BEFORE STARTING. THEN IT SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING, IT WILL DO THIS 4-5 TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS RUNNING OK. AFTER IT DIES, THE TRANSMISSON FEELS LIKE IT IS JUMPING/JERKING AND THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY DING LIKE IT DOES WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID IS LOW BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN OR IN THE MESSAGES. IT HAS DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WITH THE STERRING LOCKING UP AND THE THROTTLE LOSING POWER, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

WHEN DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON, DISABLING ACCELERATION AND PUTTING THE CAR INTO 8TH GEAR. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE CAR SPEED DECREASES INSTANTLY AND REQUIRES THE CAR TO PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF THEN ON. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES. INSTEAD THEY CHOOSE TO PUT CUSTOMERS IN THE DANGEROUS SITUATION OF DISABLING A VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING, THE OIL LEVEL BECAME LOW AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SIEMANS CHRYSLER DODGE RAM JEEP (8691 RED ARROW HWY, BRIDGMAN, MI 49106) AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO ADD OIL TO THE VEHICLE EVERY 1,000 MILES TO KEEP IT FROM RUNNING LOW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. *TT UPDATED 12/13/18*JB

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MULTIPLE TIME TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION, JERKING INTO GEAR ( FROM 1ST TO SECOND GEAR, BUT MOST OF THE TIME FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR) AND A LOUD CLACKING NOISE THAT APPEARS TO COME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. ACCORDING TO 2 DIFFERENT JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT I HAVE TAKEN MY CHEROKEE TO BE DIAGNOSE, THEY CAN'T FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY DID NOT EXPIRIENCE THE JERKING ON THE TRANSMISSION DURING DRIVING. THEY DID INFORMED ME THAT THE CLACKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHEN IT GETS HOT MAKES A CLACKING NOISE, BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT. THE DEALERS CLAIM THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE JEEP INC. TO COME OUT WITH A FIX. AS IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO FORCE YOUR CUSTOMER TO DRIVE A NOISY, HESITATING BRAND NEW CAR. I AM DUMBFOUNDED WITH HOW THE DEALERSHIPS JEEP / CHRYSLER KEEP SWEEPING THIS ISSUE UNDER THE RUG HOPING IT WILL GO AWAY. TIME TO FIND A SOLUTION.

OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP HAS LOST POWER. NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANYTHING, MY JEEP JUST DIES. IT WILL SAY "SHIFT INTO P, THEN SELECT GEAR" AFTER I HAVE LOST POWER. MY LIGHTS/RADIO/BLUETOOTH ALL STILL WORK, BUT I CAN NOT BREAK NOR ACCELERATE NOR STEER. I WAS NEARLY T-BONED THIS AM, AND NEARLY REAR ENDED LAST WEEK.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, AUTOMATIC 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO LOSE ALL ACCELERATION AT AROUND 60MPH. THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" NOTIFICATION APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED DECELERATING UNTIL IT WAS NECESSARY TO PULL OVER AND PARK. PROBLEM SEEMED FIXED AFTER AN ENGINE RESTART, BUT OCCURRED AGAIN AT HIGHER SPEED (60MPH). I DON'T KNOW WHY 2016 VEHICLES WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE S55 RECALL, IT IS THE SAME ISSUE.

EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING THE LAST TIME (4TH TIME) MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE TRANMISSION SEAL HAD A LEAK. WHILE THE MECHANIC WAS TEST DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKES FAILED WITH HIM. WHEN I HAVE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP AND THE BRAKES FAILED I WAS PULLING INTO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL AND NOT STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKE WERE AS HARD AS A ROCK AND JUST SIMPLY WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I FEEL AFTER 4 TIMES THIS CAR IS NOT REPAIRABLE AND I AM NOW MENTALLY ANQUISHED WITH DRIVING IT I AM AFRAID THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AGAIN AND I MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE AND POSSIBLY GET HURT, KILLED, KILL SOMEONE ELSE THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY ISSUE. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN SAID THE CAR IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH THE CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER ON THE CASE. IT IS# 35139860

STALLING WHILE DRIVING, MOSTLY WHEN MAKING A TURN OR AS WHEEL IS TURNED; HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE SEVERE ACCIDENTS TO OCCUR. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, STREET, AND PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. SYSTEM STALLS AND THEN A MESSAGE APPEARS 'SHIFT TO P'. HAVING TO QUICKLY STOP IN INCOMING TRAFFIC, PUT INTO PARK, SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTART TO WORK. WHEN MAKING SMALLER TURNS THE SYSTEM DINGS AS IF A MESSAGE ALERT WILL APPEAR BUT NOTHING SHOWS.
