2019 Jeep Cherokee

THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST EVERYTIME YOU START THE JEEP AND TRY TO DRIVE. IT WILL LET ME DRIVE ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL DIE WHEN DEACCELERATING AND LOSE POWER STEERING. AFTER PUTTING IT BACK IN PARK AND LETTING IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WILL USUALLY RESTART BUT IT TAKES ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS FOR IT TO START. I HAVE 5300 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS MONTH TO TRY AND PINPOINT THE ISSUE. DEFINITELY, A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, ONCE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH MY WIFE AND TWO YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. HOPEFULLY, THEY RECTIFY THE ISSUE ON THIS VISIT OR WE WILL BE GETTING RID OF THE CAR AND STEERING CLEAR OF JEEP FROM HERE ON OUT. *BF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND AN UNKNOWN ELECTRONIC SYMBOL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROWLEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (860-261-3000, LOCATED AT 1461 FARMINGTON AVE, BRISTOL, CT 06010) WHERE THE SOFTWARE WAS UPGRADED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND AN UNKNOWN FAILURE CODE WAS LOCATED. THE DEALER ALSO DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FILE FOR AN ARBITRATION. THE CONTACT FILED FOR AN ARBITRATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE SAME DEALER INSTALLED A FLIGHT CONTROLLER TO TRACK THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V739000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER THE RECALL AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE "APPEARED TO BE REPAIRED"; HOWEVER, SHE WANTED THE VEHICLE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY CAR CONTINUES TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY. I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 31-OCT-2019. LATER THAT DAY, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, MY CAR STALLED GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE 405 FREEWAY. I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHICH MAY HAVE SAVED MY LIFE SINCE OTHER VEHICLES WERE DRIVING SLOW AND AT TIMES STOPPED. THIS ALLOWED ME SOME TIME WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT RE-STARTED AND I MADE IT HOME.

MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WAS JUST EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND APPROACHED A LIGHT ON THE OFF RAMP. UPON STOPPING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE MY JEEP BEGAN BEEPING AND THE "DRIVE (D)" STARTED BLINKING ON THE DASH AND GEAR. DURING THIS TIME MY VEHICLE WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS TO THE OFF RAMP UNLESS THE EMERGENCY BREAK WAS ENGAGED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PRESS THE GAS, SHIFTING INTO OTHER GEARS DID NOT DO ANYTHING AND THE BREAKS WERE LOCKED OUT. I WAS SITTING IN THE BIKE LANE BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND HOPING TO NOT GET HIT. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWNHILL ABOUT 50FT AND STEER ONTO A SIDE STREET. ONCE THERE I AGAIN TRIED TO SHIFT TO DIFFERENT GEARS AND NOTHING SEEMED TO WORK. AS MENTIONED MY BREAKS WERE LOCKED AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS OUT OF SERVICE. FINALLY, AFTER EXITING THE MAJOR INTERSECTION I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO CLEAR THE ERROR. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS THOUGH. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED SECONDS BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATHS COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR, IN THE FAST LANE TRAVELING AT 70 MPHS, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT WAS LEFT COSTING AND SLOWING IN SPEED. NO STEERING OR BREAKING WERE EFFECTED. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE THE THE ENGINE DID RESTART WHILE IN LOW SPEED (30MPH) AND CREEPING ALONG THE BREAK DOWN LANE THE ENGINE WAS 3RPMS AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. NEEDING TOWING AND IS CURRENTLY IN FOR REPAIR. 1900 MILES TO THE VEHICLE.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH ABOUT 2000 MILES ON IT SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH TWICE NOW. AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND A FEW TRIES AT RESTARTING THE CAR RAN OK. THIS OCCURRED ON 10/17/18 AND 10/19/18 WITHIN A HALF MILE FROM HOME AFTER STARTING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING. WEATHER CONDITION WAS APPROXIMATELY 70 AND SUNNY AFTER OVERNIGHT TEMPS OF ONLY LOW 60'S. LOOKING ONLINE AT COMPLAINTS, THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH NO REAL REMEDY FROM DEALERSHIPS. I TOO HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND HOPE THEY FIND A ISSUE THAT CAN BE FIXED.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RE-START THE ENGINE. TWO TIMES WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WASN'T GOING FAST ENOUGH TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER, SO HAD TO START THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME STARTING ONCE STALLED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OIL WAS LOW, VEHICLE WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE YET. NO WARNINGS OR INDICATOR LIGHTS THAT OIL LEVEL WAS LOW. SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID TO CHECK OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. SAID THIS ENGINE USES A LOT OF OIL. I'M CONCERNED AT PULLING ONTO A BUSY ROAD OR INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVING VEHICLE DIE ON ME AND GETTING HIT.
