2019 Jeep Cherokee complaints

WHILE FLAT TOWING OUR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS 4X4 BEHIND OUR MOTOR HOME, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED ITSELF AND BEFORE WE COULD GET STOPPED IN ABOUT 1/2 OF A MILE, THE BACK TIRES AND WHEELS ON THE CAR WERE DESTROYED. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT NOR AM I LOOKING TO HOLD SOMEONE RESPONSIBLE. MY CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY MY VEHICLE INSURANCE COMPANY. I MERELY WANT TO REPORT WHAT HAPPENED TO HELP JEEP DETERMINE WHY THIS OCCURRED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN PEORIA, ARIZONA WHERE WE PURCHASED IT AS WELL AS THE JEEP DEALER IN JOPLIN, MO WHO REPLACED THE TIRES AND WHEELS. THEY BOTH TOLD ME THAT ON A BUMPY STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WITH NUMEROUS POT HOLES, AS THIS SECTION OF ROAD WAS, THAT THE "COMPUTER" TURNS ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AGAIN, WE WERE TOWING IT BEHIND THE MOTOR HOME AND HAD DONE SO ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THERE ARE A SET OF STEPS THAT YOU HAVE TO DO BEFORE TOWING THE VEHICLE, WHICH I HAVE DONE MANY TIMES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I CALLED JEEP HEADQUARTERS THREE TIMES TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANYONE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BEING INFORMED OF THIS. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE MY HUSBAND OR I WERE ACTUALLY DRIVING THE CAR, INSTEAD OF TOWING IT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS AS I ASSUME IT ALSO WOULD HAVE ENGAGED THE AIRBAGS. AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED AND I AM FEARFUL IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I'M NOT INTERESTED IN BLAME, LIABILITY, OR RESPONSIBILITY. I ONLY WANT JEEP TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND SEE IF THE EXPLANATIONS I'VE BEEN GIVEN ARE REASONABLE

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING, CAUSING A LAG IN MOTION. HAVE HAD ISSUES WHERE LACK OF ACCELERATION HAS PLACED MY WIFE AND I INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT, LIKE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE MY WIFE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER, 2018. TOOK IN TO THE JEEP DEALER IN COLORADO SPRINGS AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNTIL JEEP DECIDES TO ISSUE A SOFTWARE UPDATE. HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (HUNDREDS OF THEM) POSTED ON NHTSA AND CARCOMPLAINTS.COM . CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED.

BRAND NEW JEEP RAIL HAWK 34 MILES AT TIME OF PURCHASE 410 MILES KNOCK SENSOR AND CHECK ENGINE 1812 MILES ETC AND MAP SENSOR 2325 MILES ETC THE LAST TWO TIMES LOST ALL THROTTLE AND NO POWER GOING UP VAIL PASS IN CO. ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER, LIMP MODE.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. AND A MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM NEEDS REPAIR. I CALLED ONE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT EVEN GIVE ME A DAY TO BRING IT IN. STOPPED AT ANOTHER DEALER AND IT WAS ABOUT 13 DAYS BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN. I DID FINALLY GET IT INTO THE DEALER. THAT VERY DAY THERE WAS A REPORT TO THE DEALERS OF AN ISSUE. THAT WAS ON JUNE 20. THEY DO HAVE A RECALL ONLINE, I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING IN THE MAIL. THERE STILL IS NO FIX APPARENTLY. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN MOTION TURNING LEFT AND INTERMITTENT DELAY BETWEEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL AND HAVING ACCELERATION START WHEN TRAVELING AT MODERATE SPEED. ENGINE ALREADY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS OCCURRING. ENGINE REPLACED AT 5K MILES, SYMPTOMS REPEATING AT 8K MILES. *DT*JB

JEEP CHEROKEE EATS ENGINE OIL TOO QUICKLY. ON MY 3RD OIL CHANGE IN LESS THAN 10 MONTHS LESS THAN 2500 MILES DIFFERENCE. CAR DOES NOT LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS NO MORE OIL IT WILL STALL WITH NO WARNING.

NEW CAR, 2 WEEKS OLD WITH 800 MILES WILL NOT HOLD SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL WHILE GOING DOWN HILL. IN FACT , THE CAR ACTUALLY ACCELERATES WITH ENGINE. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS. DEALERS AND FACTORY SAYS "IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF ALL 9 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS". IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IN ANOTHER TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUES, THE CAR MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH ON A FLAT ROAD WHEN LIGHTLY PUTTING FOOT ON ACCELERATOR. IT IS SO LOUD AND HARD YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL IT OVER THE RADIO. AGAIN WE ARE TOLD THIS "IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS"! UNACCEPTABLE! A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO FILED AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER.

MY VEHICLE STALLS UPON ACCELERATION Z I'VE BEEN TOLD IT WAS BAD GAS AS WELL AS NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *BF CONSUMER STATED MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS RIGHT AT 15,000. I FIRST NOTICED THE STALL ISSUE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2018. I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A RECALL THAT COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. IT REQUIRED REPROGRAMMING AND THAT WAS DONE IN OCTOBER. I HAVE NOTICED THE STALLING AT VARIOUS TIMES SINCE THEN. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS IN APRIL AT JUST UNDER 10,000. I GO BY THE OIL LIFE INDICATOR ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND I HAD IT CHANGED WHEN I HAD ABOUT 15% LEFT ON MY OIL LIFE. THERE IS NOT CHIME OR WARNING THAT POPS UP WHEN THE STALL HAPPENS. I AM USUALLY ACCELERATING AFTER HAVING TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THE RPMS REDLINE, BUT THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE I AM PUSHING THE BRAKES. IT WILL THEN "KICK IN" AND ACCELERATE AT A HIGH SPEED EVEN IF I'M BARELY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL*JB

VEHICLE WITH 23 K MILES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AND COOLANT PROBLEMS, WITH NO INDICATOR WARNING OF LOW OIL OR COOLANT LEVEL. THIS VEHICLE COULD SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT NOW WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH OIL CONSUMPTION PROGRAM. ACCORDING TO NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIALLY HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND/OR RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.

I NOTICED A LAG IN A INCREASE IN SPEED & STALLING IN THE ENGINE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION.

AT AROUND 1200 RPM AND AT ABOUT 30-40 MPH, COMING OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN BACK ON IT RESULTS IN A CLUNK TYPE NOISE. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. AT TIMES IT IS A SLIGHT NOISE, AT OTHER TIMES IT IS QUITE LOUD. AFTER 2 VISITS TO THE DEALER AND RISING TO LEVEL 2 AT JEEPS CUSTOMER SERVICE NO ONE CAN OFFER A FIX. JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THE TRANSMISSION WILL SELF CALIBRATE AND THE NOISE WILL GO AWAY. ALMOST 2000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IT HASN'T SELF CALIBRATED YET.

PLASTIC DOOR TRIM IS COMING OFF EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE. NOTICED WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ALSO RIPPED OUT OF HEADLINER AFTER A HANDFUL OF USES. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHILE DRIVING. COMPLETELY DANGEROUS AS IT TAKES 2 HANDS TO PUT IT BACK UP.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE STOP/START AND STABILITY CONTROL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. SEEMS TO BE RANDOM. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. I'VE CAPTURED DATES AND TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IT'S FREQUENT - SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. ONE TIME I LOST POWER STEERING AND SPEEDOMETER. DEALERSHIP SAID 24 CODES WENT OFF. COULDN'T T FIND PROBLEM. REBOOTED COMPUTER AND SAID THAT IT WAS FINE. IT ISN'T FINE.

SLOWED DOWN BEFORE AN INTERSECTION AND WHEN I ACCELERATED, THE ENGINE QUIT AND I LOST POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY ONE MONTH, 1200 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

MY PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE USING THE KEYPAD OR DOOR PAD

THIS VEHICLE IS USING 4 QT OF OIL FOR EVER 3800 MILES TRAVELED. IT HAS A CAPACITY OF 5.5 QTS. THE OIL WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS IS WHEN I WAS MAKING A HARD LEFT TURN THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY 3 LANE ROADWAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS BLINK SUCH AS OIL, BATTERY, TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. ONLY 3800 MILES ON IT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID TO CHECK THE OIL. IT WAS 4 QTS LOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN JUST RECENTLY AT 19990 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS CONSTANTLY HESITATES AND FREEZES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. MOST OFTEN AFTER STOPING. THE RESULTANT DELAY IN SHIFTING OFTEN OCCURS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND IS PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP UP A HILL. AS A NATURAL REACTION TO THE EFFECT OF A STALL WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FURTHER. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY DECIDES TO DOWNSHIFT IT RESULTS IN A ROUGH JERKING OF FORWARD ACCELERATION AND HIGH RPM ACCELERATION. THIS BEHAVIOR HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN FAULTY SINCE THE DAY THE CAR WAS DELIVERED NEW WITH 20 MILES. THE DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO SOLUTION UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER ISSUES A COMPUTER SOFTWARE FIX.

MY 2019 IS ABOUT TO HAVE IT'S 3RD OIL CHANGE, APPARENTLY IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO EVERY 3,000 MILES TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE GUY THAT'S IN SERVICES DIDN'T CARE OF MY CONCERN REGARDING THE CHEROKEE TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING DURING TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY IN THE FREEWAYS, ALL HE KEPT SAYING YUP YUP YUP. HE KEPT TELLING ME HE HAS A PAPER STATING THAT JEEP CHEROKEES NEW MODELS ARE BUILT LIKE THAT NOW. ALL HE OFFERED WAS TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHICH I HAVE TO MAKE AN APPT FOR AND GO EVERY 1,000 MILES TO GET IT READ. I MENTIONED THAT THE COMPASS HAS THE SAME TYPE ENGINE, HOWEVER, WITH THE COMPASS I WOULD GO 5,000 MILES OR MORE. I CANNOT CONTINUE TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK FOR ACCIDENT. MY CAR TURNS OFF COMPLETELY ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD TURNS ON BEFORE TURNING OFF AND STATES IT'S THE BATTERY WHEN IT'S NOT THE BATTERY. WHY HASNT THIS BEEN RECALLED OR FIX MY CHRYSLER OR FIAT! THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME THEN 3 MONTHS LATER. I HAD TO GET MY FIRST OIL CHANGE BEFORE THE 3 MONTHS OF GETTING IT.

THE PAST FIVE DAYS, EVERY TIME I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT MY "LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT" COMES ON. I KEEP UP WITH MY OIL. WHEN I START MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE ABOUT A MILE, MY START/STOP WILL STOP THE VEHICLE AND MY BATTERY LIGHT WILL TURN ON WHEN MY BATTERIES LIFE IS AT 14.2 V. THE VOLTAGE OF MY BATTERY HAS BEEN MOVING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 13-14.2 IT WILL NOT GO ANY HIGHER OR ANY LOWER. MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. AFTER MY BATTERY LIGHT POPS UP, A MESSAGE ON MY VEHICLE WILL SAY PUT YOUR VEHICLE IN PARK AND ONCE I DO I TURN MY VEHICLE OFF AND TRY TO START IT AND IT WON'T. AFTER THE THIRD TIME OF TRYING TO RESTART IT IT HESITATES BUT DOES START.

I HAVE A 2019 CHEROKEE WITH APPROX 18500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD THE EBS (EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM) COME ON WHILE IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT 5 TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. THE HANDLE TO RELEASE IT DOES NOT RESPOND. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE RELEASING YOUR BOOT FROM THE BRAKE. I BELIEVE THE CAR THINKS IT IS ROLLING AND REACTS.

EVERYTHING DOWN TO THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE IDLE BEING HIGH SITTING OR MOVING, USUALLY A VERY QUITE VEHICLE IS NOW LOUD, SMELLS LIKE GAS IS LEAKING, AUTO SHUT OFF WORKS SOMETIMES, THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE HANDLE MOST TIMES WON'T UNLOCK, WHEN THERE'S NO ONE IN THE JEEP AND THE BUTTON IS PUSHED ON THE HANDLE IT SAYS TO PUSH BREAK TO START THE VEHICLE WHILE STILL TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, HESITATES TO TAKE OFF AT TIMES WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN OR TO PASS SOMEONE

VEHICLE BOUGHT WITH ABOUT 14 MILES ON IT. AT ABOUT 200 MILES A NOISE APPEARED WHEN COASTING AND APPLYING LIGHT PRESSURE ON THE GAS. THE NOISE HAS BECOME LOUDER AND MORE NOTICEABLE TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN FEEL THE NOISE IN YOUR FEET. ONE A FEW OCCASIONS, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER AND HAPPENED FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. DEALER CAN'T FIND AN ISSUE BUT REFUSE TO TELL ME IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. DEALER TOOK A DIFFERENT VEHICLE (EXACTLY THE SAME) AND FOUND THE NOISE IS HAPPENING IN THAT VEHICLE AS WELL. PRETTY SURE THE ISSUE IS IN THE DRIVETRAIN. DEALER REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO FCA STAR ENGINEERING BUT THERE IS "NO FIX AT THIS POINT". IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE FOR ALMOST A YEAR. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 1900 MILES ON IT...

WEN INTO ARBITRATION WITH DOCUMENTAITON OF 8 TRIPS TO DEALER TO FIND PROBLEM THEY TOLD US THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SSSEE RECALL #UA9/NHTSA 18V-739. .AFTER THE ARBITRATION CKHRYSLER REP STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNSAFE.I BELIEVE OTHER PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CAN MAIL COOPIES OF WORK ORDERS AND AND JUCGEMENT FROM NCDS .PLEAS SEND MAILING INFO.

I PURCHASED A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE AND IN LESS THAN 3,000 MILES THE CAR BROKE DOWN. IT GAVE NO INDICATION, JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A FAST-PACED HIGHWAY AND ALMOST KILLED ME. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS LOW ON OIL AND THEY ASSUMED SINCE THE CAR WAS SO NEW THEN MAYBE IT HADN'T BEEN PROPERLY FILLED. AS THE VEHICLE APPROACHED 6,000 MILES, THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN AND THE CAR WAS STALLED IN THE LEFT LANE OF A SMALL ROAD, BLOCKING TRAFFIC. NOW THEY TELL ME THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THE ENGINE AND THAT IT IS BURNING TOO HOT AND, THEREFORE CONSUMING THE OIL AT A FAST RATE. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW SHELL SHOCKED I WAS TO HAVE MY BRAND NEW JEEP VEHICLE STALL TWICE ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD NO IDEA HOW DANGEROUS THE MOTOR WAS. I HAVE SPENT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY TRYING TO GET THIS VEHICLE FIXED AS WELL AS NOT HAVING A MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AS IT STAYS IN THE SHOP FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG. BOTTOM LINE, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU DIRECTLY ABOUT WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AS A CONSUMER REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THE LEMON THAT WE LEASED. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR COMPANY DOES TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. I AM A LIFELONG CHRYSLER BUYER, HAVE BEEN VERY LOYAL AS A CUSTOMER, BUT THE TREATMENT I HAVE RECEIVED SO FAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DISHEARTENING.

ON 6/8/2019, I PULLED THROUGH MY GATE, LEFT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO CLOSE THE GATE WHICH TAKES A FEW SECONDS. MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. RESTARTED, AC WAS OFF, AUDIO ALSO OFF. DROVE FOR ABOUT 35 MILES, MADE 2 STOPS, ALL OK. NEXT LEG OF TRIP APPROX 20 MILES, COMING INTO ANOTHER TOWN AND APPROACHING TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT THE LIGHT AS I STOPPED, THE VEHICLE AGAIN SHUT DOWN IN DRIVE AT THE STOP LIGHT IN CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC. THIS WAS NOT THE AUTO STOP/START, IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. HAD TO PUT IN PARK, IT DID RESTART, AND AGAIN, AC OFF, AUDIO OFF. PROCEEDED TO MY NEXT STOP WHERE THE VEHICLE TRIED TO SHUT DOWN AS I PULLED INTO PARKING SPOT, I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE PARKING. UPON RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED, BUT NOW HAVE BACK UP CAMERA FAILURE WHICH HAS NOT WORKED SINCE THAT EPISODE. THIS WAS TERRIBLY DANGEROUS AS I WAS IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND WAS HELPLESS UNTIL I GOT IT TO RESTART.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING. HAD OIL CHANGED BY DEALER VERY RECENTLY. UNKNOWN CAUSE. BASED ON RECALLS FOR RELATED VEHICLES, POSSIBLY CAUSED BY FAULTY TRANSMISSION OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. OCCURRED AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, AND THEN ACCELERATING UP TO 45 MPH ON A BUSY ROAD. SHORTLY AFTER ACCELERATING, THE TOUCHSCREEN WENT OUT, THE VEHICLE STALLED, AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO PULL OFF ON A SMALL AREA AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO LET OTHER CARS PASS. WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET GOING AGAIN AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT.

THE RADIO OPERATES ERRATICALLY AND WILL BOUNCE FROM ONE MODE TO ANOTHER. THE AUDIO WILL GO IN AND OUT AS WELL AS THE AIR AND HEAT. THE SCREEN GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN RADIO, CONTROLS, NAVIGATION, CLIMATE, APPS, AND MEDIA UNCONTROLLABLY WITHOUT ANY PROMPTING FROM THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION EACH TIME IT ACTED ERRATICALLY CAUSING MAJOR DISTRACTION AND DISRUPTION TO THE DRIVER. THIS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, WHILE TURNING, AND WHILE PARKED WITH THE CAR ON. WHEN BROUGHT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND THAT NOTHING COULD BE FIXED.

STARTED OUT WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP SLOW YOU HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, NOW WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO FIRST AT A STOP THE TRANSMISSION HAS A CLICKING NOISE AND ALSO SURGES AND SHIFTS HARD.

TAKATA RECALL I HAD WITNESSED MY AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOY, WHEN I WAS JUST INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. BECAUSE I HAD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHICH CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO STOP AND WE WERE HIT ON THE SIDE AND OUR SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON OUR RIGHT SIDE. *DT*JB

JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE 3 DAYS AGO. HAS 3,300 MILES ON IT. EVERY TIME I'VE DRIVEN IT TODAY, THE RADIO VOLUME AND RECEPTION FADES IN AND OUT. ON EVERY CHANNEL. I DON'T LIVE OR DRIVE IN REMOTE AREAS, SO IT IS NOT A SIGNAL ISSUE. I ENJOY LISTENING TO MUSIC WHILE DRIVING, BUT THIS WAS SO ANNOYING THAT I RODE HOME IN SILENCE. THE FADE IN AND OUT HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF MOTION OF THE VEHICLE OR VOLUME I TURN IT UP TO.

AS I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 3 DAYS, I CAN'T SAY WHAT IT 'USED TO' DRIVE LIKE. BUT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES FOR A MOMENT. SOMETIMES I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, OR CROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, I HAVEN'T BEEN IN ANY CLOSE CALLS YET, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY SEE HOW AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR, IF YOU PUSH ON THE GAS TO MAKE A TURN AND YOUR CAR ACCELERATES REALLY SLOWLY FOR THE FIRST 2 SECONDS. I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT.

ON 5/23/2019 MY WIFE WAS EXITING A PARKING LOT DRIVING FORWARD IN OUR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. SHE TURNED RIGHT INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN STEERED RIGHT TOWARD THE CENTER LANE. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND HER. SUDDENLY THE DASH LIT UP IN RED BRAKE, AND THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. SHE STOPPED MOMENTARILY, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. AT THIS POINT THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASED. SHE DROVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DOORS WERE NOT AJAR. SHE WAS NOT BACKING UP. OUR JEEP DOES NOT HAVE THE FORWARD SENSORS, JUST THE REAR SENSORS. WE DO HAVE THE PARKING BRAKE SET (U-CONNECT) TO AUTO ENGAGE WHEN SHIFTED INTO PARK. WE ARE CONCERNED THIS COULD HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. I'M BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER IN THE MORNING.

WHILE RIDING THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL START BLOWING HOT AIR FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS AND THEN START BACK BLOWING COOL AGAIN.

VISIBILITY DISTORTED IN RAINY CONDITIONS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND OR COATING ON GLASS. VISIBILITY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WHEN DRIVING GETS DISTORTED WITH MINIMAL RAINFALL CAUSING A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. USING NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS IS BETTER THAN HAVING THEM ON. ISSUE OCCURRED SINCE DATE OF DELIVERY (11/30/2018) AND BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE RECENTLY DUE TO WEATHER CHANGES. ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHEN IN MOTION OR STAND STILL ON ALL ROAD TYPES.

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH TO YIELD FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE A DELAYED RESPONSE TO ANY ACCELERATION INPUT CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION (IE. IF TRYING TO TAKE OFF IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO SPACE BUT REALIZE THEY ARE TRAVELING MUCH FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY DUE TO CAR NOT RESPONDING TO PEDAL INPUT IMMEDIATELY).

AFTER AN INTERSECTION STOP AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE DURING A RIGHT TURN AND CAR IN MOTION, THE CAR ENGINE STALLED. THE DASHBOARD SHOWED 0 RPM AND JUST THE BATTERY INDICATOR ON. PARK OVER THE ROAD SHOULDERS, I COULD START THE ENGINE AGAIN AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AS OF NOW, 2 TIMES LAST WEEK (MAY 10 AND MAY 11 2019). WENT TO THE JEEP DEALER IN PINEVILLE, CHARLOTTE, NC. THEY SUPPOSE EXECUTED THE WORK ORDER FOR THE SAFETY RECALL U86 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 18V-523) ON MAY 11. BUT TODAY (MAY 13 2019) THE CAR DID EXACTLY THE SAME IN THE SAME INTERSECTION LIKE THE FIRST TIME. CAR HAS ONLY 4,250 MILES. CONSUMER STATED I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I SAW "OIL PRESSURE" ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD AND NOTICED ABNORMAL LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL, HAVING JUST 4,000 MILES. DURING THE RECALL SERVICE, THEY SUPPOSE CHECKED ALL LEVELS INCLUDING THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE: ENGINE OIL. SO, AFTER A OIL CHANGE AND OIL LEVEL REPLENISHMENT, THE JEEP CHEROKEE IS WORKING WELL SINCE THEN. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER TO GET OIL CHANGE.*JB

WHILE OPERATING MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON 3 OCCURRENCES. EACH TIME IT STALLED THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IT HAS HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC TO A SAFER LOCATION AND THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. MULTIPLE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP TO THE FUEL SYSTEM WITH AN ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. THE PROBLEM IS STILL ON GOING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING IN A MOVING OR ACCELERATING VEHICLE AND WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. MY FAMILY DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS < 60 DAYS OLD AND < 3000 MILES.

WHILE JUST BEGINNING TO EXIT A FREEWAY, MY STEERING LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. I HAD NO CONTROL BUT RECALL SEEING A RED LIGHT JUST COMING ON THE DASH (OBVIOUSLY, I COULDN'T ASCERTAIN WHAT THEY LIGHT WAS AT THE TIME AS MY CAR WAS DOING MULTIPLE 360 SPINS DOWN THE EXIT RAMP!) TRY AS I MIGHT, I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. AFTER COMING TO REST AGAINST A TRAFFIC SIGN, I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT IT WAS AN ALERT FOR MY STEERING THAT HAD COME ON. IT REMAINED ON EVEN AS I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE INJURIES TO MY HEAD, BACK, LEGS, WRIST, HIPS, SHOULDER AND HIP. THIS IS A MOST EGREGIOUS FAILURE AND I AM QUITE UNDERSTANDABLY RETICENT TO TRUST ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS COMPONENT. AFTER 1 WEEK, SILENCE IS THE ONLY SOUND I HAVE HEARD FROM EITHER THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER/JEEP. THIS SILENCE IS MOST DISTURBING. NO HELP FOR A RENTAL OR LOANER, AND AS AN INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING, EVEN MY OWN AUTO INSURANCE IS NOT PROVIDING ANY SUPPORT FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT THANKFULLY HAS STEPPED UP TO HELP WITH THE MEDICAL BILLS.*DT *DT*JB *DT *DT *DT*JB *DT*JB *JB *DT *DT MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO FIX THE STEERING.*JB *TR*JB *DT *TR *DT*DT*JB*JB*DT*JB*DT

FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. THE CAR DIED AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING WENT BLANK. I SAT FOR 10 MINUTES DUE TO NOT STARTING UP. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT OVER. AFTER STARTING IT BACK I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED IT WAS A RECALL AND IT WAS FIXED. WELL THIS MORNING I WENT TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP SIGN WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DIED, I WAS STUCK IN 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR RESTARTED AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THAT THEY CHANGED MY OIL AND COULD TELL THAT IN LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE THAT'S WHAT IT IS. THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP THE CAR OVER THE WEEKEND AND LET ME KNOW. HOWEVER MY FRIEND HAS THE SAME 2019 AND HER CAR HAS DONE THE SAME THING AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

AT ABOUT 1200 MILES, DASHBOARD LIT UP, CAR STALLED AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. DEALER CHANGED BATTERY. BRINGING HOME FORM DEALER, HAPPENED AGAIN. DEALER HAD IT TWO WEEKS. PICKED IT UP AND AT 1600 MILES, HAPPENED AGAIN. DEALER HAD IT THREE WEEKS AND CHANGED OUT COMPUTER. PICKED IT UP AND NEXT MORNING DASHBOARD LIT UP. STOPPED CAR BEFORE IT COULD STALL, AND HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. AFTER TWO WEEKS I PICKED IT UP. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT. 4 TIMES IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND OVER 45 DAYS IN THE DEALER. DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS: AIRBAG, BRAKING, PARK ASSIST, ELECTRONIC STABILITY, BATTERY, LANE WARNING, ETC. IF THERE ARE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH, IT LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. ALL ISSUED HAPPENED WHILE THE AUTO WAS IN MOTION

AS OF MAY 5TH EXPERIENCED A SAFETY RISK WITH THIS JEEP AND IT'S 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND TRIED TO MERGE TO ANOTHER EXPRESSWAY AND VEHICLE FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT OR ACCELERATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE. THIS WAS ALSO ACCOMPANIED WITH EXCESSIVE GEAR HUNTING ALONG WITH HARD SHIFTS AND LONG/HIGH RPM SHIFTS. NOT TO MENTION IT WILL LUNGE OR TRY TO OVERPOWER THE BRAKES WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT. WILL BE GOING TO THE SHOP FOR THE 4TH TIME FOR SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS, IT IS RANDOM AND NEVER KNOW WHAT IT WILL DO NEXT. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY RISK!

THERE IS A DELAMINATION OF THE WINDSHEILD ON THE EDGES CAUSING REDUCED VISIBILITY BLURRING AND DISTORTING OBJECTS IN VIEW. THUS HAS BEEN SEEN ON 3 2019 JEEP CHEROKEES PRODUCED IN LATE 2018.

JEEP HAS 6664 MILES ON IT AND AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND SAYS THAT AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICED. AT FIRST THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN TURN BACK OFF HOWEVER, NOW THE LIGHT IS ON AND REMAINS ON. NEXT COMPLAINT IS THAT AFTER SLOWING VEHICLE DOWN AND BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE JEEP SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY...IT IS HESITANT AND THEN SUDDENLY PICKS UP SPEED. 3RD COMPLAINT. WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS PULLING AGAINST THE BRAKE (AS IF YOU WERE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND BRAKE AT SAME TIME) IN A "LUNGING" MANNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

THE PROBLEM IS A SMUDGE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AT EYE LEVEL WHEN THE WIPERS RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION. WE REPLACED THE WIPERS FIRST WITH THE MOST EXPENSIVE WE COULD FIND AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE SO THAT IS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP BENNY BOYD OF LAMPASIS REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD UNDER WARRANTY. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID BECAME WORSE WITH THE NEW WINDSHIELD AND NOW THERE WERE STREAKS, SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE EXPENSIVE WIPERS WITH OEM WIPERS AND STILL IT DID THE SAME. WE WERE ADVISED BY OUR SERVICE MANAGER CHRISTOPHER WEIR TO CALL CHRYSLER @ 800-992-1997 AND START A STAR CASE, THE CASE NUMBER IS OR WAS 58366091. THE CASE OPENED AND SUPPOSEDLY LOOKED INTO BY SOME ENGINEERS PER THE CONVERSATION OF THE CASE MANAGER @ CHRYSLER. THE RESPONSE WE RECEIVED BACK FROM THE CASE MANGER WAS THAT IT WAS THE CHARACTERISTIC FOR THIS VEHICLE????? I AM PROVIDING A URL FOR THE JEEP FORUM WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT.

SYSTEM CONTROLS SHUT DOWN DURING DRIVING. LCD GOES BLANK, OR SCREEN LOCKS UP, AND AUDIO SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES, THE ENTIRE CONTROL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND I HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT TO REBOOT. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AND WHEN AT A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSED A FRONT END COLLISION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND THEN LUNGED FORWARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,250.

3RD TIME NOW VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR SAME, VEHICLE LUNGES AGAINST THE BRAKES WHILE AT A STOP LIKE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR PULLED INTO GARAGE. THERE IS ALSO NOTABLE CLUNKING WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR (LAST TIME IN SHOP WAS TOLD IT WAS A MOTOR MOUNT). FCA CUSTOMER CARE HAD BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH ME BUT ONCE REPORTED THE PROBLEM AGAIN THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY REPLIES. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED SEPT 2018 AND MILEAGE IS CURRENTLY 2186 (YES, 2186). ALMOST 200 MILES AND ROUGHLY 2 WEEKS SINCE LAST VISIT.
