6/15/2020 24793 miles, while driving battery light came on jeep stalled. Started back up and while accelerating battery light came again and stalled. Took to Jeep dealership, they said batter had low charge. 6/3/21 31567 miles start/stop light came on . Tech found nothing 8/25/21 33881 miles check engine light came on Electronic throttle body control system replaced by Jeep, had to pay out of pocket !!! 10/27/21 35278 miles while slowing down door chime went off battery light came on and Jeep stalled. Tried starting back up it was hesitating finally started would happen randomly. Tech not able to duplicate 6/29/22 40866 miles Vehicle does not accelerate at all different speeds, same issues as before, Jeep relearned ETC Under warranty from 8/2021 replacement. 7/5/22 40959 miles while driving vehicle does not accelerate properly gas peddle to the floor speed does not go up but rpm’s at 4000, has to pull over several times and restart vehicle. Jeep could not duplicate 9/16/22 43500 miles vehicle was not accelerating would not go over 40, rpm’s going over 4000 , making loud engine sounds, stabilization light came on along with message 4wd not in service. Jeep said they couldn’t duplicate issue. Will hold overnight. Still awaiting answer. This is a major safety issue, putting me or whoever is driving along with passengers at risk, if vehicle isn’t accelerating not able to go on highways, driving is limited due to not knowing what to expect. Driving through intersections very risky, have to make sure no one is anywhere near to being close because I don’t know if I will get out of the way On time! Jeep dealership aware of the issue, since they replaced throttle body in 8/2021. But I believe all of the symptoms from the beginning are all linked to this issue. Stalling is a major safety issue. I bought a new car for safety reasons, to be reliable on a new car. Unfortunately I am not safe nor do I feel this car is reliable!

Every time I come to a red light or a stop sign and apply pressure to the break the voltage of the battery goes down. The vehicle cuts off and it will not start back up. I can be in a traffic jam and apply pressure to the brake and the vehicle will cut off leaving me in the middle of traffic. It will not start back up.

About 1 year after purchasing 2019 Jeep Cherokee, the SUV would stall. This is what happens: stopped at a red light or a stop sign. Foot is on the brake. Once the light turns green , or I can now process beyond the stop Sign, I lift my foot off the brake, to the gas. As soon as my foot is lifted from the brake. The auto park/brake goes on. The brake pedal gets stuck. I am not able to drive. The light turns orange for the parking brake(was not prior) the light turns orange where it states “PULL ON (P) “. Cars in back of me start to beep their horns. I have to then put the car into park (it is currently in drive) . After placed in park, I have to completely turn the engine off. Restart the car/SUV, then go back into drive. There has been times when I was not able to do this (ie restart the SUV). I would have to spend several minutes trying to push (pump) the brake a few times that is locked now. I only have to do this when I am Not able to put the car into park from drive before restarting the car (SUV). This happens without me even adjusting the Brake / Park that reads “PULL ON “ with a “P” and circle. Meaning, the parking brake light is not on when this happens; it is off. I Have brought to the dealership and told they “cannot replicate the problem .” They explain “diagnostics “ were run and there is no issues. I thought maybe it has something to do with electrical and the engine shutting off automatically while stopped a light. I asked if this feature could be turned off and was told by the dealership it could Not be. Meaning, the feature where the car engine shuts off when stopped at a light . No resolution; dealership overall dismissive of concern. Recently have noticed rarely that the lane change departure feature will not light up or alarm when there is a “blind spot” and a car present. This was a new purchase in 2019 and was not a used car purchase. The year of the car is a 2019.

When stopped the car will engage the emergency break and stall. The car then has difficulty restarting. It will just turn over and over and eventually after letting it sit for a minute, it will restart. The brake light and now the battery light come on. Initally, we thought it may be due to the seat sensor & the car thinking that no one was in it so it was engaging the brake. However, the dealership says the seat sensor is fine. Now it is my understanding this may have to do with the auto start stop and the aux battery not fully charging which causes it to pull power from the main battery. There is no way to permanetly turn off the stop/start. By turning it off temporarily, it causes the aux battery to not charge but if I leave it on my car stalls when stopped. Ive taken it in at least twice when under warranty & they "could not replicate" the issue so it was never fixed. Now it's 3 months out of warranty and is stalling regularly - twice in the last week. They said they may try to get it covered under warranty since Ive brought it in multiple times before but they dont know. It is very unsafe to have the car stall when stopped. Im taking the car in today for them to look at it. Ive spoken to two dealerships and they both told me that this has been an on going problem they have seen on this car recently.

My dash material is lifting and I’m not sure who to contact. Jeep said this is not an issue but I’m finding many people with the same issue. This has to be a factory defect. How do I get this taken care of.

Stop/Start. The jeep will often stop while driving at any speeds, including top speed. It’s as if the stop/start has kicked in abruptly stopping my car as I’m driving. When this happens sometimes, not consistently, the stop/start light will come, or ye automatic brake lift even the motor light, When the situation occurs, I try to carefully pull over if I have not speed from coast to do so. Then I manually shut the ignition off and then re-start my jeep. The engine does not usually want to restart and sometimes takes several tries (as if it’s an old car in cold winter temps). I have even stalled while going through a highway intersection. Because I had just started accelerating when I stalled there was not enoug speed so I stopped in the middle of intersection. Luckily people were able to swerve. I have two friends with the same make, model and year office. Both have experienced the same issues once their vehicles reached 60,000-70,000 miles. Their dealer found the problem to be with the automatic break lock. Unfortunately because I have not completely broke down, dealers have been unable to diagnose my problem. This is a huge danger and hazard. I hope to hear this is a recall or update that will he resolved soon.
