2019 Jeep Cherokee

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!

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.

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.

I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE AND HAD TO YIELD. I NEVER CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT WAS TRAVELING AROUND 5MPH. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO CONTINUE ON THE CIRCLEAND MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ALMOST SIDE SWIPED DUE TO MY VEHICLE ENTERING THE CIRCLE AND NOT ACCELERATING FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN COMING TO A YIELD AREA. MY COUNTY HAS OVER 150 TRAFFIC CIRCLES WITH YIELD SIGNS. THIS WILL BE DANGEROUS WITH THIS HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. I AM MARKING THIS AS OCCURING 4/11/19 BECAUSE IT WAS VERY BAD THAT OCCASION. IT MADE ME THINK OF THE TIMES IT HASN'T BEEN AS NOTICEABLE IN THE PAST THOUGH.

THE VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING WITHOUT WARNING RECAL#UA9/NHTSA 18V-739 THE DEALER HAD THE CAR TO FIX THE RECALL. THE CAR STILL DOES THE SAME THING AS IT DID BEFORE RECAL. IT HAS BEEN IN 6-8 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. DEALER INSTALLED A DATA RECORDER AND IT DID NOT RECORD AN EVENT TWICE. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIWAY, THE STREET AND IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE WHEN GOING INTO DRIVEWAY;

2ND REPORT FOR TRANS ISSUES NOW. REPROGRAMMING FROM DEALERSHIP DID NOT WORK FROM 1ST TRY AT REPAIR. AND HAD TO REPLACE MOTOR MOUNT DUE TO TRANS ISSUE. CAR TRIES TO LUNGE WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. DOWNSHIFTS AND STAYS WHILE ON EXPRESSWAY, HAVE TO SLOW DOWN THEN SPEED BACK UP TO CORRECT. WHEN REVERSING, COME TO A STOP THEN SWITCH TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE "SLAMS" INTO GEAR. NOW THE MOTOR MOUNT IS CLUNKING AGAIN. AGAIN THIS IS 2ND TIME FOR SAME ISSUES IN 6 MONTHS OR 1966 MILES OF OWNERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS FLASHED AS THE CONTACT DROVE HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, BUT THEN SHUT OFF AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO FAIRFIELD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1409 MONTOUR BLVD, DANVILLE, PA 17821, (570) 275-3300). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER TWO WEEKS, THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AND IT STALLED TWO MILES LATER. ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND BARELY MADE IT HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AGAIN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE WIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WANTS TO RETURN THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13.

THE CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD WITH NO WARNING. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN GOING UP A SLIGHT HILL AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. DEALER SAYS IT IS LOW ON OIL PRESSURE(THE CAR IS 5 MONTHS OLD AND THEY SAY IT WAS 2.5 QUARTS LOW ON OIL!!) AND A SAFETY SWITCH SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD/TRAFFIC!! I CALL THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" TO PROTECT THE ENGINE A"DANGER SWITCH" THAT ENDANGERS TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL TRAFFIC BECAUSE THESE JEEPS ARE STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE A 45 SECOND VIDEO THAT SHOWS THE STALL. PLEASE HELP GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED!! *DT*JB

WHILE I AM IN MOVEMENT DRIVING MY VEHICLE. WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS POPPING UP IN MY DASHBOARD. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPS. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND A SEMI TRUCK WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME. I HIT MY BRAKES FAST ENOUGH SO THAT THE SEMI TRUCK COULD REACT IN TIME, BUT OTHERWISE I COULD IT HAVE GOTTEN IMPACTED FROM THE BACK WHICH I AM SURE. IT WOULD IT HAVE CAUSE MORE THAN JUST AND ACCIDENT. THE DATE THIS HAPPENED I NOTICED THE CAR KIND OF SLOWED DOWN ITS VELOCITY FAST AND DRAMATICALLY WHEN IT STOP. IT WAS STILL RUNNING, NO SMOKE OR ANYTHING COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I DID NOTICED THAT THE HEATER FELT EXTREMELY HOT MORE THAN NORMAL WHICH IT ALSO MADE ME PANIC A BIT. SHE SHIFT GEAR I WASN'T ABLE YO MOVE IT AT ALL. THEY HAD ADVISED ME AT THE DEALERSHIP ONE OF THE MECHANICS THAT SOMETIMES, IF THIS HAPPENED; TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR 10 MINS AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. I DID THAT, THAT NIGHT AND WHEN THE CAR TURN BACK OF THE STABILITY LIGH WARNING CAME ON, THE BRAKES LIGHT CAME ON, THE ENGINE LIGH CAME ON, THE EMERGENCY PARKING LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THIS THIS I WAS WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFT STICK BUT I COULD ONLY DRIVE FORWARD. I TRIED TO REVERSE AND GO BACK BUT IT WASN'T LETTING ME. MY SENSORS WERE BEEPING AS IF I WAS NEAR OR CLOSE TO HITTING SOMETHING. WHEN MY CAR WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE HIGHWAY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I NOTICED WHILE SEATING IN MY CAR. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS TO MY SUV WHEN IT'S VERY COLD OUTSIDE. WE ARE TALKING -4 DEGREES, BUT I AM SURPRISED BECAUSE THIS IS A 2019 VEHICLE THAT I HAVE AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 5 MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE 4 TMES AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE ISSUE BUT NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THAT VEHICLE. A VEHICLE THAT STOPS OUT OF NOWHERE, DEFINITELY NOT SAFE. I AM NOT ONLY PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER, BUT I FEEL LIKE I AM PUTTING EVERYONE AROUND ME DRIVING IN DANGER.

I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS.....CAME TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN TO TAKE OFF THE VEHICLE DIED. WOULD NOT RESTART, COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF DRIVE, FINALLY GET IT OUT OF DRIVE, VEHICLE STILL WON'T RESTART. FINALLY RESTARTS, THEN DIES AGAIN, RESTART, DIES AGAIN, FINALLY GET IT TO START START/STOP LIGHT IS ON FOR SERVICE. TURN START/STOP OFF, DRIVE TO SAFE PLACE, TURN VEHICLE OFF, LIGHT GOES OFF, VEHICLE DOESN'T ACT UP AGAIN AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I HAVE TURNED THE START/STOP OFF. AT DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK NOW, THEY "CLAIM" THEY CAN NOT GET IT TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. I'M READING ONLINE LOTS OF ISSUES LIKE THIS, WHY AREN'T THESE VEHICLES BEING RECALLED OR PULLED OFF THE ROAD. SOMEONE IS GONNA GET KILLED!
