2019 Jeep Cherokee complaints

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE THE KEY FOB WAS LOCKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS OPENED SHE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED TO REVERSE. THE REVERSE ALERT AUDIO CHIMED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED IN REVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MYRTLE BEACH JEEP CHRYSLER (785 JASON BLVD, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577 843-448-1191) WERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD AS WELL AS WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AS THE CONTACT NO LONGER OWNS THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,070.

THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF THE FOLLOWING HAPPEN: CAR STARTS FINE, I DRIVE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF AND JUST STOPS ALL OF A SUDDEN. SO I WAIT AND TRY TURNING IT BACK ON. THANK GOODNESS IT WASN'T ON A HIGHWAY. SOMETIME IT RE-STARTS THE 1ST TIME BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW TRIES. FIRST TIME THIS STARTED HAPPENING (NOV. 2019), THE DEALER SAID IT NEEDED OIL CHANGE BUT IT WAS ONLY AT AROUND 40% OIL LIFE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS "BONE DRY." IT WAS FINE AFTER OIL CHANGE. NOW (FEB 2020) DASHBOARD STILL HAS THE OIL LIFE AS 48% AND IT'S ONLY BEEN 4000 MILES OR SO SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. DEALER WILL PROBABLY TELL ME AGAIN THAT IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE BUT IT'S VERY STRANGE A NEW CAR (2019 JEEP CHEROKEE MODEL) WILL BURN THROUGH ITS OIL IN JUST 4000 MILES. IT'S VERY CONCERNING THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF/TURNS OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AND IF IT DOES BURN THROUGH ITS SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL IN JUST 4000 MILES IT SEEMS THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG. ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS CORRELATES WITH THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN I MAKE A TURN I HEAR A "BING" SOUND WHICH MAKES ME LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD TO SEE IF A LIGHT CAME ON BUT THERE IS NOTHING THERE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING AND I'M HEARING IT AGAIN THIS TIME AROUND. I HAD THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN TO ME 6-7 TIMES (SOMETIMES 2 TIMES IN 1 DAY) IN THE LAST 4 DAYS. THIS HAS ME SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AROUND. I WAS RESEARCHING ONLINE AND I SAW OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEM SO I THOUGH I WOULD REPORT THIS TOO.

THE PROBLEM STARTED LAST WEEK, WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN MY JEEP SUDDENLY LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING. AFTER I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES IT STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENTS. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A SNOW DAY ON MY MORNING COMMUTE TO WORK, HAD I TAKEN A BUSIER ROUTE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SAME THING REPEATED THE FOLLOWING DAY MINUS THE SNOWY CONDITIONS. I SCHEDULE MY CAR FOR SERVICE WHERE I BOUGHT IT AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT. WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE DEALER I SPOKE TO A SERVICE ADVISER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD TRANSPIRED. HE QUICKLY RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM, AND ASKED A VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION. HE ASKED IF THE CAR DIED OUT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN WHICH WAS THE CASE BOTH INCIDENTS. HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT IT HAPPENED TO THAT MODEL AND ENGINE IF THEY OIL GETS LOW. I WAS ASTOUNDED AS I WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR AROUND 1,000 MILES. CLEARLY JEEP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHICH SEEMS TO BE OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. I UNDERSTAND HOW RECALLS WORK AND I AM LEFT TO ASSUME THAT THEY HAVE DECIDED AGAINST IT AS AN OIL CHANGE CAN BE A TEMPORARY FIX AND A ENGINE REPLACEMENT WOULD BE COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TUTTLE-CLICK AUTOMOTIVE GROUP38 AUTO CENTER DR, IRVINE, CA 92618 (949) 835-4812 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. AN OIL CHANGE WAS RECOMMENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER, DCH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF TEMECULA 26845 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 92591 (951) 225-4541, TO BE DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V344000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V524000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ONE NIGHT AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER AND SWITCH THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I ALSO HAVE BEEN AT A STOP MULTIPLE TIMES AND TURN OUT INTO THE ROAD AND MY VEHICLE WON'T GO, WHICH COULD RESULT IN ME GETTING HIT. I ALSO HAD MY RECALL 'FIXED' FOR THE POWER TRAIN, WENT BACK BECAUSE I RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER SAYING IT WAS POSSIBLY NOT FIXED AND IT STILL TELLS ME THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED ON MY VEHICLE. I CANNOT USE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE WHEN IT GOES DOWN THE SLIGHTEST HILL, CURVE, WHATEVER, THE RPMS GO ALL THE WAY UP AND JUST SIT THERE, EVEN WHEN I HAVE TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKED IT STILL STAYS SHIFTED UP FOR A LONG TIME. I REGRET PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH A BABY ON THE WAY ANY DAY NOW AND HER SAFETY BEING AT RISK. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, REALLY ANYTHING ABOUT 50MPH UP TO ABOUT 80MPH, I FEEL THE WHEEL STICK WHEN I TRY TO CORRECT THE WHEEL TO STAY GOING STRAIGHT. EVEN WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES ON THE HIGHWAYS I CAN FEEL THE STICK AND IT'S FRIGHTENING SOMETIMES. TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND HE HARD AND HAVING THEM FEEL IT MIGHT BE HARDER WITHOUT HIGHWAY AROUND HERE TO GET IT UP TO THOSE SPEEDS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED BY THE WAY MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST 10000 MILES.

2019 JEEP STALLS WHEN DRIVING WHEN OIL IS APPROX 2 QUARTS LOW, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY INDICATION THAT OIL IS LOW. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS COMMON ON THIS TYPE OF ENGINE AS IT BURNS OIL QUICKLY.

CAR STALL WHEN STARTING AND SOMETIMES STOP WHEN BRAKING. ELECTRICAL....LIGHT COMES ON. HAZARD LIGHTS COME ON RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. TURNS ON ON IT'S OWN AFTER CAR IS PARKED AND LOCKED. WHEN TURNING OR MAKING SHAPES TURN THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM WHEELS. STABILITY.... LIGHT COMES ON. BACKING UP CAR MAKES NOISES AS IF I HAVE GONE OVER A BUMP WHEN I HAVE NOT.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE COMING TO A STOP. VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO RESTART ONCE IT'S OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 55 MPH GOING DOWNHILL THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED, THE RPM REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE SPED UP TO 70 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (RAMEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM 127 FRAZIER DR, PRINCETON, WV 24739, (888) 794-4317, AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS INTENDED. A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE MANUFACTURER AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.

I WAS WAITING AT A RED STOP LIGHT IN MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE 4X4, 2.0 L TURBO, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BATTERY LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED. I LOOKED AT MY PUSH BUTTON START SWITCH AND IT SAID "RUN". THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS DEAD. CARS BEHIND ME START HONKING THEIR HORN. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PUT MY ARMS UP IN THE AIR. I THEN MOVED THE GEAR SELECTOR TO "N" AND PUSHED THE START SWITCH. THE SWITCH TOGGLES FROM "RUN" TO "OFF". SO, I HIT THE BUTTON AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTS. I MOVE THE TRANSMISSION INTO "D", BUT THE CAR JUST REVS LIKE IT IS STILL IN NEUTRAL. I MOVE SELECTOR TO PARK AND THEN BACK TO "D". THEN THE CAR THEN ALLOWS ME TO TAKE OFF. HOWEVER, I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC FOR A WHOLE LIGHT CYCLE AND HAD MANY PEOPLE WONDERING WHAT I WAS DOING. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE CAR STOPPED WORKING. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 13,500 MILES ON IT.

RENTED A VEHICLE FROM ENTERPRISE A JEEP CHEROKEE 2019 WITH ONLY 18,620 MILES. DRIVING NORTH FROM FORT LAUDERDALE TO DAYTONA. AFTER 3HRS ON THE ROAD THE CAR HAD AN ENGINE EXPLOSION. ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STARTS SIGNALING ME AN TELLS ME THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GET OFF THE CAR, SAW LIVE FLAME GOING UNDER THE HOOD. PULLED ALL MY BELONGINGS OUT AND IN MATTER OF MINUTES THE WHOLE VEHICLE WAS BURNED.

JEEP ONLY HAS 30000 MILES. BOUGHT BRAND NEW. CAR RECENTLY STARTED STALLING WHEN SLOWING DOWN. APPARENTLY JEEP DESIGNED THE ENGINE TO STALL WITH LOW OIL. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT THE 4 CYLINDER JEEP CONSUMES MORE OIL AND AN OIL CHANGE WILL NEED TO BE EVERY 3000 MILES ON A BRAND NEW CAR. THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE AND EVENTUALLY LEADS TO AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. NOT ONLY IS THE OIL CONSUMPTION OUTRAGEOUS FOR A NEW CAR BUT THE STALLING IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AS WE HAVE AN 11 MONTH OLD.

PREVIOUSLY, I REPORTED ISSUES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION, WHICH EVENTUALLY REQUIRED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I NOW HAVE AN ISSUE WITH STEERING WHEEL, FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO CORRECT ITSELF WHEN DRIVING REGULAR STREETS AND HIGHWAY WITH NO ISSUES OF ALIGNMENT, TIRES, ETC. APPT WITH NAPLETON'S ARLINGTON HEIGHTS ON 1/23/2020 DID NOT MENTION ANYTHING THAT WAS DONE TO LOOK FOR ISSUE, OTHER THAN RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE OF 18VA9182, WHICH THEY SAID WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. IN ADDITION, I JUST RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM FCA, STATING THAT WHEN I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL #18V739, THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PROPERLY INSPECTED AND THE RECALL WAS CLOSED. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THIS WAS DONE COMPLETED AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO THE UPDATE, HOWEVER, THEY HAD NOT COMPLETED THE CORRECT ONE, AND THE PROBLEM WITH STEERING STILL PERSISTS. I AM WORRIED THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN, AND WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED.

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP WITH 8 MILES ON IT. AT ABOUT 5,500 MILES WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT THE STEERING SEEMS TO ALMOST HAVE A DEAD SPOT WHERE IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS LOSS OF CONTROL TO THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY CAUSING POSSIBLE OVER CORRECT TRYING TO DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE OR NOT. DEALER HAS BEEN CALLED AND AWAITING TO HEAR BACK. MY FIRST EVER JEEP PURCHASE.

MY CAR MAKE A HUMMING NOISE LIKE IT'S TRYING TO CATCH UP WHILE DRIVING IT STALLS AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ENGINE GOES DEAD I HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING START BUTTON ABOUT 3 TIMES TO RESTART I TOOK A PICTURE OF LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND ALSO ANOTHER CAR BACKED INTO MY CAR WHEN CAR WENT DEAD IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK THEY EVEN TOLD ME TO TAKE PICTURES OF LIGHTS WHEN IT HAPPENS LIKE I'M LYING AND I DID EVEN THOUGHT ALL PICTURES ARE TIME STAMP.I CAN'T AFFORD UBER AND CAR NOTE I NEED HELP.THIS HAPPENS ON FREEWAY HIGHWAY SIDE STREET ANYTIME NO WARNING.

EVER SINCE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE IT WILL PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL I FEEL RESISTANCE UNTIL IT GIVES AND JERKS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS GETTING STUCK AND THEN COMES LOOSE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN GOING AROUND 35-55MPH. WHEN AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED IT IS AS THOUGH THE MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE IS HELPING IT STAY STRAIGHT BUT IT WILL STILL DO IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN USING THE START BUTTON FOR THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD HESITATE TO START INSTEAD OF STARTING IMMEDIATELY. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE TO ACCELERATE AND EXHIBIT A SPUTTER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AS WELL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO REDUCE IN SPEED. THE CONTACT STATED THEY LOST ALL THROTTLE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP (TRI-STAR UNIONTOWN LOCATED AT 2 SUPERIOR WAY, UNIONTOWN, PA 15401 PHONE NUMBER 724-430-1401) WHO REPLACED THE VEHICLE'S WIRING HARNESS, REPROGRAMMED POWER TRAIN MODULE, PEDAL ACCELERATOR REPLACED, REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, REPROGRAMMED TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, AND OTHER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE REMAINS. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED ABOUT 5 TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER 74681739. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

WHEN DRIVING MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT SOMETIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS THE STEERING GETS TIGHT WHEN MAKING A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO THE STEERING, WHICH MAKES ME PULL IT HARDER TO GET IT LOOSE AND THEN HAVE TO OVER COMPENSATE TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS EXTREMLEY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND CHRYSLER LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THIS IS NORMAL WITH THE ELECTRONIC SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE NORMAL BECAUSE IT IS PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AUGUST 2018.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE TURNED APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF AN INCH IN EITHER DIRECTION BEFORE THE WHEELS WOULD RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER COLBY DODGE (1000 TAYLOR AVE COLBY KS) WHO PERFORMED A STEERING MODULE UPDATE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

MY CAR HESITIATES WHEN PUTTING IT IN TO DRIVE FROM BACKING UP OR JUST TAKING OFF. IT HESITATES GOING FROM LOW TO HIGH SPEED TAKING A LONG TIME INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I COULD BE SIDE SWIPED OR RAN IN TO.

CAR DOES NOT GO IN TO DRIVE AND WILL SOMETIMES LURKS IN TO HIGH GEAR FROM A START OR A INITIAL GO. THE CAR REVS UP THINKING IT WAS IN DRIVE THEN SLAMS IN TO HIGH GEAR AND GOES.

WHILE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE IS RUNNING, REGARDLESS OF THE GEAR SELECTION, THERE IS A SLIGHT JERKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS JERKING OCCURS AT RANDOM WITH NO OTHER NOTICEABLE ISSUES. THIS ISSUE IS NOT "THROWING" A CODE AND DEALERSHIP IS CLAIMING THERE IS NO ISSUE FOUND. ODOMETER IS AT 10340 MILES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AS IT COULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT IF NOT RESOLVED. ISSUE OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION AND OCCURS APPROXIMATELY EVERY MINUTE OR SO. IT OCCURS ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY. IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR DURING A TURN. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC DRIVING CONDITION THAT RESOLVES THE PROBLEM OR WORSENS THE PROBLEM.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 2.4L TURBO. DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE, RPM'S WILL INCREASE BY 2000 AND WILL NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL CRUISE IS DISENGAGED. ALSO WHILE DRIVING IN CITY IN SURFACE ROADS WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR WILL JUST STOP ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL. CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE ENGINE STILL RUNNING. HAD TO TURN OFF CAR AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANE ON WHEN CAR WAS RESTARTED WITH MESSAGE OF "CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR". LIGHT WENT OFF BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO DEALER. DEALER SAID THE COULD NOT FIND A CODE OR DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST TIME ON 1/11/2020

VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY PRIOR TO A STOP SIGN. ATTEMPTS X 3 TO RESTART VEHICLE, ACTS SLUGGISH TAKEN TO AUTO PARTS TESTED BY MACHINE . BATTERY OK ALTERNATOR OK STARTER OK HELP ONLY PROBLEMS !!!

WHILE DRIVING SLOWING AND COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY LIGHT WILL START FLASHING AND THEN THE CAR WILL STALL AND SHUT OFF. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF FOR 15 SECONDS THEN TURN THE KEY TO START IT AGAIN AND THE CAR WILL CRANK OVER VERY SLOWLY AND SPUTTER FOR ABOUT 4 SECOND BEFORE STARTING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 2 WEEK. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS MONDAY JAN 6 2020, 2ND WAS JAN 10TH 2020 AND THIRD WAS JAN 13TH 2020. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FRIDAY JAN 10TH AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND GAVE ME THE VEHICLE BACK. I WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN TO CALL BACK.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR THE HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS WERE DEAD. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR A TRAMISSION RECALL. RANDOMLY DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY A VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP FOR A FEW MINUTES WHILE I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. CALLED DEALER. RADIO RANDOMLY DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY EITHER STAYS RUNNING WHEN THE KEYS TURNED OFF CAR AND KEYS TAKEN OUT , RADIO RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY NAME IS [XXX] . I AM CONTACTING YOU FOR CONCERNS OF MY NEWLY PURCHASED 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD CONTACT ME ABOUT MY ENGINE STALLING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CONCERNS OF THIS VEHICLE CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY LOOSING COMPLETE CONTROL AND BARELY MADE IT OUT OF THE ROAD WAY TMWITH NO WARNING THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR BEEPING. WHILE HAVING MY FAMILY IN IT. MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE IS SHUTTING OFF FOR NO REASON. DEALER SAYS IT IS LOW OIL SENSOR SHUTTING IT DOWN. FIRST TIME THE DEALER JUST FILLED IT WITH OIL. THE SECOND TIME I BROUGHT IT IN THEY PRETENDED NOT TO REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND CLAIMED TO HAVE NO PAPERWORK ON IT AS THEY CLAIMED THEY JUST TOPPED IT OFF WITH OIL. I SIGNED IN ON THEIR COMPUTER SO THEY MUST HAVE THE RECORDS OF ME BEING THERE, THEY GAVE ME NO PAPERWORK THE SECOND TIME JUST TOLD ME TO DRIVE 1000 MILES AND THEY WOULD RECHECK THE OIL.

WHEN I ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE AFTER A STOP OR GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT STALLS AND OR STUTTERS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS.

WHEN DRIVING AT EXPRESSWAY / HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 60 PLUS FOR A NON STOP 30-50 MILES, THERE IS ALMOST LIKE A "DEAD SPOT" IN THE STEERING. WHEN I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 1/4" TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS CATCHING ON SOMETHING WHEN MAKING SMALL WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS WITHIN YOUR OWN LANE, IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF YOUR TIRES BREAK LOOSE, BUT ON DRY PAVEMENT. WHEN THE STEERING THEN CATCHES. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE THERE IS GUST OF WIND ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. IT THEN JERKS BACK AND FORTH. THERE IS ALSO A BURNING SMELL FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS STARTED AT 5500 MILES. I HAVE A 2019 JEEP OVERLAND. IT COULD EASILY BECOME DANGEROUS. HAD IT AT ZEIGLER JEEP IN SCHAUMBURG IL ON 11/9/2019 AND THEY RECODED MODULE AND COUND NOT RECREAT THE PROBLE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE THEN. WENT BACK ON 12/26/19 AND TOOK THE TECH FOR A 1.5 HOUR TEST DRIVE AND EVERYTHING HAPPENED AS STATED ABOVE. THE TECH FINALLY RE-CREATED THE PROBLEM. MY NEW 2019 JEEP OVERLAND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE THEN. THEY ARE SENDING ENGINEERS IN FROM JEEP. ALL I WANT IS A SAFE CAR. PS; THIS IS MY FIRST JEEP PRODUCT.

ON DEC 19TH OF 2019 I WAS LEAVING WORK WHEN I MADE A RIGHT TURN DURING BUSY TRAFFIC WHEN MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE SUDDENLY STALLED ON ME. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR DID TURN BACK ON. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MY LOCAL DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS ALMOST OUT OF OIL HOWEVER NO LIGHT WAS ON THEN OR AT THE TIME OF THE STALL. I WAS INFORMED THIS IS A 'SAFETY' FEATURE TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM HURTING ITSELF IF THE OIL GETS TOO LOW. AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS STARTED. THE CAR ONLY HAD 12590 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THIS IS ALSO THE SECOND OIL TEST THAT HAS BEEN DONE THE FIRST ONE WAS DONE BACK IN MAY OF 2019 WHEN THE CAR WAS AT AROUND 6000 MILES.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPED STARTED TO SLIP ON MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 10000 MILES. CAR IS JUST ABOUT BRAND NEW AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION/SHIFTER MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS ALL THE TRANSMISSION GEAR LIGHTS ARE LIT.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THERE IS ALMOST LIKE A "DEAD SPOT" IN THE STEERING. MAKING SMALL WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS WITHIN YOUR OWN LANE, IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF YOUR TIRES BREAK LOOSE, BUT ON DRY PAVEMENT. WHEN THE STEERING THEN CATCHES, IT CAN CAUSE A SMALL JERK. IF THIS HAPPENED ON ICE, IT COULD EASILY BECOME DANGEROUS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY FOR THE PAST MONTH OR SO.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE ON 6/29/19 WITH LESS THAN 5 MILES ON ODOMETER. ON 9/7/19 (LESS THAN 1K MILES), I STARTED CAR, DROVE HALFWAY DOWN BLOCK AND THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED. POWER STEERING LIGHT WENT ON AND CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. CALLED DEALERSHIP, WHO WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING, AND THEY TOWED THE CAR AND GAVE US A LOANER. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION SO THEY OPENED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER. AFTER THREE WEEKS, THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE IN ITSELF SO I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON LONG TRIPS. FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE REPAIR SEEMED FINE, BUT THEN THE STEERING COLUMN/WHEELS STARTED MAKING LOUD GRINDING NOISES AND THUMPS WHILE PARKING AND PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPACES. NOW IT IS HAPPENING WHILE I AM DRIVING, LOUDER AND LASTING LONGER. I HAVE HAD TWO SCARY INSTANCES OF STEERING/WHEELS GRINDING, THUMPING, LOCKING WHILE CHANGING LANES AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING FOR 10-20 SEC. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY (12/30/19) WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT. THE STEERING LOCKED WHILE I MADE A SLIGHT TURN GOING APPROX 5MPH, AND THE GRINDING/THUMPING WAS SO LOUD AND STRONG THAT IT FELT LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS GOING TO FALL OFF. THIS LASTED LONGER, AROUND 20SEC, AND THEN THE CAR JUST DROVE COMPLETELY NORMAL. I HAVE ALSO HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF FEELING THAT I HAVE ZERO CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND THAT MY WHEELS ARE NOT ON THE ROAD. NO NOISE, NO LOCKING UP, J

JEEP HAS A SAFETY FEATURE SO THEY SAY THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING IF THE OIL IN YOUR BRAND NEW VEHICLE GETS LOW. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I CALLED MY DEALER WHO TOLD ME ITS NORMAL AND TO CHANGE MY OIL EVEN THOUGH MY ONBOARD DASH SAID I WAS FINE NO OIL WARNING LIGHT JUST THE CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS AND IT IS NOT EASY TO RESTART . I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A REDLIGHT THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND MY CAR TURNED OFF CAUSING DRIVER BEHIND ME TO ALMOST HIT ME I WAS PANICKED. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES MORE AND I CONTACTED JEEP DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO CHANGE MY OIL AND IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN. TO HAVE A CAR SHUT OFF INSTEAD OF AN OIL WARNING LIGHT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHY NOT USE THE LIGHT IT CAME WITH. THAT IS NOT A SAFETY DESIGN FOR ANYONE BUT JEEP SO THEY DONT HAVE TO REPLACE BRAND NEW CARS THAT BURN OVER 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 4000 MILES. THEY ARENT WORRIED ABOUT THE DRIVERS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WAITING AND PRAYING THEIR CAR RESTARTS. I HAVE VIDEO OF IT DOING IT MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND NEVER ONCE DOES THE OIL LIGHT COME ON. THE CAR ACTUALLY DIES WHILE IN MOTION NOT JUST STOPPED. I HAVE A VIDEO OF IT BUT IT IS 3 MINUTES LONG AND IT WILL NOT UPLOAD I GUESS DUE TO THE LENGTH OF IT. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIME SINCE DECEMEBER FIRST TIMES I JUST THOUGHT THE CAR WAS COLD DUE TO OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AND THE BARS ON THE DASH INDICATING THE CAR WAS COLD. TO SAY I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR AND DID NOT EXPECT

WHILE DRIVING THE SUV SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. NO ENGINE POWER, NO LIGHTS, NO STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES LEAVING THE SUV IN THE DARK WITH NO LIGHTS WITH CHILDREN INT HE CAR. THE SUV SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN MOTION, AT 45MPH SPEEDS ON COUNTY ROADS AND AT HIGH SPEED 70 MPH + ON TURNPIKE. I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE. DEALER IS NOT HELPING ME. I PUT THE LAST DATE IN. IT HAPPENED 6 TIMES.

STUTTERING AFTER STOPPING AND STUTTERING WHEN STARTING ENGINE. STUTTERS WHEN TRYING TO GET ON HIGHWAY.

I WAS IN AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH AND AFTER IT WAS FINISHED MY JEEP WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE FROM NEUTRAL. I HAD THE AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUT DOWN TURNED OFF. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIME FROM SHIFTING FROM NEUTRAL INTO DRIVE. I ALSO RESTARTED MY JEEP TWICE AND ON THE SECOND TIME IT STARTED AND I COULD DRIVE AWAY.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO GET A "DEAD SPOT" IN THE STEERING. WHEN I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 1/4" TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS CATCHING ON SOMETHING. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND AFTER ABOUT 6 HOURS THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. THEY SAID THERE WAS JUST AN UPDATE THAT NEEDED DONE ON THE STEERING. I WILL BE PICKING IT UP LATER AND WILL SEE IF IT IS CORRECTED. VEHICLE HAS 28K MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH OR HIGHER THE STEERING WILL FREEZE OR LOCK BRIEFLY NOT ALLOWING YOU TO MAKE STEERING ADJUSTMENTS. ADDED FORCE IS NEED TO CORRECT THE STEERING PATH OF VEHICLE. ACTS AS IF THE STEERING HAS A DEAD SPOT.

VEHICLE DRIVING AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP IT SEEMS LIKE THE AUTO TURN OFF WANTS TO TURN OFF EVEN BEFORE STOPPING. FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL. ALSO LEAVING A RED LIGHT WHEN IT AUTO TURNS ON IT JERKS AND THEN SWITCHING FROM FIRST TO SECONG GEAR IT JERKS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS SO MUCH LAG SWITCHING GEARS AND PICKING UP SPEED IT ALSO JERKS AND TAKES FOREVER TO PICK UP SPEED. BUT MY MOST CONCERN IS GEAR SWITCHING AND JERKING AND ALMOST STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP WITH THE AUTO SHUT OFF TRYING TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. AND WHEN IT TURNS BACK ON IT JERKS WHEN YOU GIVE IT SLIGHT GAS.

TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE

ON DECEMBER 6, 2019, DURING A RETURN TRIP FROM LOUISIANA TO TEXAS, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON AND OFF TWO TIMES OVER A SEVEN HOUR PERIOD WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. ON DECEMBER 19, 2019, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON AS I WAS LEAVING THE HOUSE. IT STAYED ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES AND THEN WENT BACK OFF. THIS WAS WHILE WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I HAVE SEEN A TOTAL OF THREE EVENTS WHERE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS SWITCHED ON AND THEN OFF WHILE DRIVING.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 60-75, WHILE MAKING SMALL CORRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING STEERING BECOMES SLIGHTLY TIGHT AND THEN STEERING GIVES IN AND JERKS. TIGHTNESS AND JERK HAPPENS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. HAPPENS IN EVERY DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ONLY.

ACCELERATING IS JERKY AND MANY TIMES DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AS SPEED INCREASES (INTO NEXT GEAR ON LEFT HAND SIDE ). ALSO, AS VEHICLE GOES DOWN SMALL HILLS IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO HANDLE THE DECEASE IN ACCELERATION. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, IT TAKES AT LEAST 30 SECONDS TO CORRECTLY RESPOND. I BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO SHOP, THEY STATED IT WAS THE VEHICLE GETTING TO KNOW HOW I DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V637000 (STEERING) WAS RECEIVED IN OCTOBER OF 2019. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FARRISH CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE, RAM (9610 FAIRFAX BOULEVARD, FAIRFAX, VA 22031, (703)-273-0200) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE ADDITIONAL PART TO COMPLETE THE STEERING GEAR REPLACEMENT WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 71416456. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE AUGUST 2018. SINCE JUNE, THE CAR HAS RANDOMLY STOPPED OPERATING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND IF I AM ON A HILL BEGIN TO DRIFT BACKWARDS UNTIL I AM ABLE TO GET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND HIGHWAYS. MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF WHILE MAKING TURNS AND WHILE ACCELERATING UP HILLS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ALL TURN ON AND OTHER TIMES IT IS JUST ONE LIGHT (SUCH AS THE BATTERY LIGHT). IN JUNE 2019, I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY SAID MY CAR NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE AND THERE WAS A SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO THINK THEIR WASN'T ENOUGH OIL. THEN, IN SEPTEMBER 2019, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I WAS STILL APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES FROM MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE OF MY CAR STOPPING IN TRAFFIC WAS DUE TO "DIRTY OIL." IN DECEMBER 2019, THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I AM STILL 1745 MILES AWAY FROM MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE THE OIL IN ORDER TO DO AN OIL PRESSURE TEST. I ASKED THEM TO FIX THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR IS STOPPING REPEATEDLY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. IT IS A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AS I LIVE IN A DENSELY POPULATED AREA. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE AN OIL CHANGE AND CHECKED THE PRESSURE AND ASKED THAT I BRING IT BACK AT 1,000 MILES. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND I THINK THE REP

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO MY VEHICLE. IT FIRST HAPPENED AT ROUGHLY 6,000 MILES AND IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN AT 12,000 MILES. EACH TIME, WHEN I WAS COMING DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I COME TO A STOP. SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART, BUT OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO JUMP IT. THIS WILL HAPPEN AT A COMPLETE STOP AS I'M TRYING TO GET GOING AGAIN OR AS A I AM SLOWING TO A STOP. IT WILL HAPPEN ON ANY ROAD AT ANY TIME WHETHER GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING.
