2019 Jeep Cherokee

Several times while waiting at stop light car completely shuts off once needing to begin motion. Shut down has taken place during a turn. Car screen completely shut off as well and froze during driving. Car will turn off after trying to restart car. May stall a couple times before turning back on. Warning light shows start/ stop signal with exclamation mark. No lights were on prior to car completely shutting off. The car shutting off in mid turn could have resulted in my children and myself being seriously injured and a car rear ending or t-boning me. This vehicle has not been inspected as original dealer says this issue is not on recall and are currently backed up with vehicles due to being short staffed. Based off information provided the repairs may be costly.

My vehicle stopped working 2 times while driving. I still had control of the brakes and steering but it was like the vehicle just shut off by itself while I was driving. Luckily I was in a residential area so I wasn’t going that fast. I noticed to the control panels flashed or blinked and the car made a few beeping sounds.But after I pulled over put the car in park, shut it off then started it again it did sound like it was struggling to start again but it did and it was ok after that. But it was a scary experience, imagine if I had been on the freeway going 55 mph I’ve also had problems with the start stop system, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. One other thing is when I accelerate sometimes there’s a delay or it seems like the vehicle is struggling to pick up speed. And the last item not dangerous, just annoying..the radio will occasionally go loud soft, loud soft. But I found a way to make it stop when it happens I just switch from am and back to fm and then it’s normal again but it would be nice not to have to do that every time I get in the car.

The radio screen has delaminated and Navigation now does not work and the screen constantly shows the message “Do you want to adjust your clock settings”. Doesn’t matter if I click out via “yes”, “no” or the “ X” in the upper right corner, it just comes back on. It also makes a clicking noise and there is a flashing light on the time on the screen. This is distracting while driving, and the screen will go black when I’m backing up so I can’t see anything behind me. I am the second owner and the car is out of warranty so the dealer will not cover the cost of the repair. I have to fix it so I have my navigation and back up camera again. I did my research and apparently this is a huge problem with Jeeps and Chryslers. But no recall. This is affecting my driving with the screen flipping to that message and the clicking noise. My only choice is never using the radio. The dealer will order and install the new radio when I can come up with the money to pay for it. It’s quite expensive. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. They suggested I call FCA, which I did and they told me there was nothing they could do to offer any price relief.

The 8.4 uconnect screen is delaminating causing an internal malfunction. This presents a serious safety concern that has been repeatedly reported to the NHTSA and FCA. The screen goes black and freezes; causing loss of back up cameras, loss of navigation, climate and radio changing. The screen constantly changing causes distraction to the driver posing a significant safety issue. This is a known issue and yet FCA continues to put drivers, passengers and others on the road at risk by intentionally and knowingly concealing or omitting facts concerning the quality of the vehicle and the defective Uconnect and the risk to safety. FCA and the dealer concealed the defect with no intent to replace or repair the defect during the warranty period. Then refuse to cover the fix that is over $2,000. The issue has been reproduced at the dealer service department and on video. Prior to the complete delamination and screen failure the system would turn black and reboot frequently. No reasonable customer expects a vehicle to present a defect that exposes drivers and occupants to such a safety hazard.

Recently purchased this vehicle. FM radio volume cuts in and out randomly, and often. Some stations only work some of the time. Sometimes there is a lot of static. These are local stations that I have had no issue with in previous vehicles. AM radio and SiriusXM radio work fine. Only the FM radio seems to be affected. There have been no safety concerns, and the vehicle has not been inspected yet. I have researched this issue, and it seems to be a very common issue with Jeep that needs fixed. If the problem is this common, there should be a recall to have this issue fixed.

There is something wrong with the stop start functionality on this vehicle. I am not sure how it is connected to the car but it causes my car to stop while I am driving literally. I've had this issue since I purchased the car I took it to the dealer to get fixed twice and called the manufacturer three times. I am having the issue again. I advised that dealership as well as jeep that I could get hurt if someone hits me from my car stopping abruptly ( I live in Chicago people drive fast and dangerously ) and they have done nothing to assist me with resolving the issue. but, whatever they keep fixing isn't the problem and I think that this is a violation of the law to have an unsafe vehicle on the road and I believe someone ( either Jeep or the dealership) were aware of the issues before I purchased the car. But , if I trade it in then someone else will just adopt the unsafe car at this point I am not sure what to do but reach out directly to the government but, I don't want to die my life is important to me and I cant just go buy another car I am not wealthy. I also , dont want someone to drive this car and something happens to them.

While driving, the Jeep suddenly loses all power and shuts down. This is extremely dangerous as it seems to happen at random. So far only on side streets, but what if I was in the middle of an intersection? The manufacturer knows this is an issue with the model year and make, complaints litter the internet. They have not issued a recall, I suppose someone needs to die first.
