2019 Jeep Cherokee

A COUPLE TIMES NOW MY JEEP HAS SHUT DOWN ALL ELECTRICAL SPELL PROPULSION EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING WHEN I WAS IN AN INTERSECTION WITH A SEMI BEARING BARRELING DOWN ON ME AND I HAD NO STEERING NO BRAKES NO PROPULSION NOTHING THEN THE D FOR DRIVE ON THE DASH STARTED BLINKING ALL SERVICING IS UP TO DATE AND NOW THERE IS A WARNING LIGHT

ENGINE TURNED OFF ROUNDING A CORNER WITH NO WARNING. WAS ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE AND GET BACK HOME SLOWLY. THE OIL WAS BARELY ON THE DIPSTICK AT THE BOTTOM WHEN I CHECKED IT. I HAD TO ADD 3 QUARTS OF OIL TO GET IT BACK TO THE NORMAL LEVEL. THIS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 2600 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. ON AVERAGE, THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES THE ADDITION OF APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 900 MILES. EXTREMELY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. NO SIGNS OF A LEAK ANYWHERE IN MY GARAGE OR ON THE VEHICLE. HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN HAVING TO ADD A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2ND-3RD FILL UP AT GAS STATION.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS STALLED OUT, WITH OUT WARNING, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS ENGINE, THE 2.4L HAS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM, IN THAT BURNS ABOUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES AND WHEN THE OIL GETS TOO LOW THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS, JUST SHUTS EVERYTHING OFF. AT 70 MILES PER HOUR IN TRAFFIC, HAVING THE ENGINE STOP AND SUDDENLY LOSING POWER STEERING AND TRYING TO MOVE THOUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER WHILE RAPIDLY DECELERATING IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALER AND FCA ARE OFFERING NO SOLUTIONS FOR THIS ISSUE. FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY PERSPECTIVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED, NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTS COSTS AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ASPECTS.

BACKING OUT OF GARAGE GASOLINE WAS COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND FALLING ONTO THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF THE GAS STOPPED COMING OUT. TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON AND GAS STARTED COMING OUT AGAIN SO I PARKED IT IN THE YARD. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO THEIR PLACE. THEY TOLD ME THE FUEL LINE WAS DISCONNECTED AT THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY STATED THAT YOU CAN'T REMOVE THIS WITHOUT A SPECIAL TOOL AND IT WAS PROBABLY NOT FULLY LOCKED IN WHEN MADE AND OVER TIME CAME LOOSE. BRAD AT CROWN JEEP IN CLEVELAND, TN. THAT'S ALSO WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM.

TRUCK CUTS OFF WHEN I MAKE TURNS OR IF I STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN YOU TRY TO START THE TRUCK BACK UP IT HESITATES AND WHEN IT DOES START BACK UP IT STUTTERS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE FLASH A LOW OIL LIGHT AND SAY LOW OIL PRESSURE AND I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW IT WON'T PICK UP SPEED PAST 10 AND A MESSAGE IS POPPING UP THAT SAYS CHECK SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING HOME TODAY FROM WORK AND BARELY MADE IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T EVEN ON. BUT IT'S NOT SHIFTING GEARS IT IDILES UP AND JUST STAYS STUCK I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS TO TRY MAKE IT CHANGE WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS. ARKANSAS HAS A LOT OF HILLS AND I HAVE TO GO UP ONE TO GET HOME AND I ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT UP THE HILL IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE TRUCK STARTED STUTTERING AND THE OIL WARNINGS STARTED FLASHING.

EVERYTIME I SLOWED DOWN MY JEEP WOULD CUT OFF. I FIGURED OUT I COULD GET IT TO RESTART IN NEUTRAL AS I'M FINDING SOMEWHERE TO COAST OFF ROAD, BUT WOULD HAVE TO PUT IN PARK TO SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE. I MADE IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND HOPEFULLY A RECALL WILL BE SOON BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE JEEP USING OIL AND THEN THE ENGINE STARTS SHUTTING DOWN TO PROTECT FURTHER DAMAGE. THEY FILLED WITH OIL AND IT RAN FINE.. THE DEALERS TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TO DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TO TURN INTO MOPAR. SO I HAVE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. THE FIRST 1000 IT USED VERY LITTLE AND THEY SAID GO AHEAD AND TRY ANOTHER 1000 AND COME BACK. I MADE IT TO ABOUT 500 MILES AND NOW MY JEEP WILL NOT START. THANKFULLY IT IS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I DIDN'T BREAK DOWN ON THE STREET AGAIN. I'M GOING TO TOP OFF THE OIL AND SEE IF THAT DOES ANYTHING. I'M AFRAID OF ANOTHER PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT MAKING ANY NOISE WHEN I TRY STARTING. ALSO, FEBRUARY 2019 I DID GET THE RECALL FIXED (POWER CONTROL MODULE) FROM THE DEALER. SO WHEN I WENT BACK FOR THIS ISSUE THEY TOLD ME I'D HAVE TO PAY THEM $130 FOR THEM TO EVEN TAKE A LOOK. I WAS SURPRISED TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE SO I WENT TO THE DEALER IN THE NEXT COUNTY AND THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME! ANOTHER THING IS THE SCREEN/INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS WENT OUT A FEW TIMES. ONCE THE ORIGINAL DEALER RESET IT, BUT IT STILL GOES OUT SOMETIMES OR IT GETS STUCK ON THE DIAL/KEYPAD SCREEN. BOTTOM LINE: NOW MY 2019 JEEP IS STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SOLUTION.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EXHIBITS ODD BEHAVIOR FROM THE DAY OF DELIVERY OF THIS NEW CAR,JEEP SERVICE SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG; CLUNKING NOISE WHEN LIGHTLY TAPPING THE ACCELERATOR, ROUGH SHIFTING, WHEN LETTING FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR VEHICLE DOESN'T SLOW DOWN AND TAKES LONG TIME BEFORE IT DOES, IT FEELS LIKE IT IS COASTING INSTEAD OF SLOWING WHEN IT FINALLY DOWNSHIFTS IT SPEEDS UP ON ITS OWN AND THEN SLOWLY DECELERATES.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTY ROAD TRAVELING NORMALLY WHEN IT SUDDENLY STALLED OUT LOSING ALL POWER INCLUDING STEERING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STATED SOMETHING LIKE "MUST BE IN PARK TO CHANGE GEARS" ALTHOUGH NO MANUAL ATTEMPT HAD BEEN MADE TO DO ANYTHING OF THE SORT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE JEEP DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS AND HAS DECIDED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
