2019 Jeep Cherokee

On hot days/days when A/C is running, the car will fully shut off when stopping at a stop light when the auto-off functionality is on (which is by default “on” with every ignition cycle). The lights go out, the dashboard computer and instrument panel go dark and then the car does a hard reignition. From time to time the the car will not turn back on automatically giving an error to the effect of “power On/Off required.” In this instance the vehicle must be shifted to park to be able to reignite the engine chambers and then the vehicle must be put back in drive - taking ~30 seconds and causing traffic snarls - endangering fellow travelers and those in the vehicle.

While stopped @ traffic light or stop signs, when start to go car jumps when gas is applied. Has not been reported to anyone yet, no warning lights displayed. Has not caused accident as of yet. Electrical equipment has had problems since came off lot.@ times usb ports work @different times.it says to connect device every time even when it's plugged in already, I'm not sure if jumping is motor or transmission. I was told by dealership ( salesman) that the problem with USB problem was ok. I'm afraid it may cause safety issues in the future ( jerking engine).

VEHICLE HAS STALLED (COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH NO STEERING ABILITY) WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. NO WARNING LIGHTS OF LOW OIL OR ISSUE WITH VEHICLE. BURNING THROUGH OIL AT 1 QUART FOR EVERY 800 MILES (UNHEARD OF) FOR CASUAL DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS. CAR WILL REV VERY HIGH AND NOT CHANGE GEARS SMOOTHLY. HESITATION ON STARTING AND HESITATION AND SPUTTERING ON NORMAL ACCELERATION. MANY ISSUES AND HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 3 MONTHS.

I HAVE RECEIVED WARNINGS ON MY DASH SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW. AUTO STOP START CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION . PARKING BRAKE DEPLOYS ITSELF AND SOME DAYS THE STEEP WON'T TURN ON AND TOUCH SCREEN DOESN'T WORK. SINCE ALL THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING AND NOT AT DEALERSHIP THEY INSIST IT DOESN'T OCCUR AND HAVEN'T REPAIRED EVEN AFTER KEEPING MY VEHICLE IN THEIR SHOP FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS I OWNED IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL" LIGHT COMES ON AND EITHER THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY (EVEN AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND ON) OR THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND WON'T RESTART. WHEN THE CAR WON'T RESTART, YOU CAN'T EVEN PUT THE CAR IN NUETRAL TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE WAY, BUT THE RADIO AND DASHBOARD DO LIGHT UP - ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT IS ON. WITH THE ACCELERATION ISSUE, IF I'M ON THE FREEWAY AND NEED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A CAR OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, I CAN'T - IT'S WAY TOO SLOW. I HAVE TO JUST STAY IN THE SLOW LANE AND BE VERY CAREFUL. I'VE BROUGHT IN TO DEALERSHIPS 4 TIMES FROM NOV 2019 TO MARCH 2021. ONCE THEY JUST TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AND SAID IT WAS FINE BECAUSE IT RESET ITSELF. THE NEXT TIME, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE NEXT TIME THEY REPLACED A SWITCH FOR THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY, THE NEXT THEY SAID THE BATTERY TERMINALS WERE LOOSE AND CORRODED.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS IN MAY 2019. 6 MONTHS LATER THE STOP/GO FUNCTION STALLED AND THE CAR TURNED OFF DURING A TURN AT THE LIGHT. I ALMOST GOTTEN REAR ENDED WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK TO GET IT TO TURN ON AGAIN, MIND YOU I AM STILL IN THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR TURNED ON BUT CONTINUALLY DID THAT AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. THE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, I DO NOT KNOW HOW IT HAS 4 OUT OF 5 STARS. THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME STARTING. I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO TURN IT ON. UNTIL RECENTLY, IT JUST WON'T TURN ON ANY LONGER. BATTERY IS FINE. THE STARTER IS NOT DOING ITS JOB. I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED. DON'T KNOW IF IT CAN GET FIXED. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLE AND SEEMS AS THOUGH THEIR CAR IS ALWAYS IN TROUBLE.

MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH THE 2.4L HAS REPEATEDLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING SINCE PURCHASING 4 MONTHS AGO. UPON DOING RESEARCH, I SEE THERE'S BEEN MANY RECALLS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND YEAR AS MINE, HOWEVER MINE IS NOT COVERED. CONSIDERING MY VEHICLE IS ALSO STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND DECELERATING, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT TO BROADEN THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MORE VINS. ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING WHEN SLOWING DOWN BUT STILL IN MOTION. IT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING FOR THE PAST WEEK WHEN DECELERATING.
