2019 Jeep Cherokee

Second time in under a year battery went dead. The first time, While I did take it to the dealer to get it replaced under warranty, still puzzling as to what is draining the battery. Dealer said alternator was good. I’m taking in today to get it fixed. My car is all factory, no mods, no add one. This is my daily driver, drive about 36 to 40 miles highway.

Vehicle will not unlock or respond to key fab, after waiting it sometimes does, other times disconnecting negative battery cable and reconnecting it, function is restored. Far worse is at time when driving total electrical system failure occurs, engine fails, all dash board lights fail, light turn lane indicators and door locks. This has happened repeatedly and last time in heavy freeway traffic exiting. Took car to dealer and he said it was a low battery, this is the 3rd battery in 20 months. Dealer had car for 7 days and returned it now with Electronic Start Stop not functioning, after 3 weeks problems are still there, an independent mechanic says these are known Jeep problems, and confirmed it is not low battery voltage, I'm an electrical engineer and these failures happen when battery is at 14.0 volts, fully charged after 90 minutes of driving, and then car will start perfectly to only fail again. At this time I feel it's not safe to drive .

About a year ago I took the vehicle in for a recall notice. Software update needed to be run due to the vehicle shutting off during operation. I took the vehicle in for the recall service. Since the recall my vehicle has now started doing the same thing. It seems to happen when slowing to a stop or downshifting. Vehicle totally shuts off, no lights, including break lights, everything shuts off including radio, hazards won't go on, car just totally shuts off. Happened to me at a busy intersection tonight and I nearly got rear ended. Only warning light was the battery when attempting to restart the vehicle. This has happened 4 times in the last two days, this is my only vehicle and I must drive it.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH, the contact was going down a winding road. the contact was depressed on brakes pedal would not fully stop until the contact depressed on the brake pedal all the way to floor for the vehicle to stop. The contact had to pulled ;the vehicle over to the side of the road a wait a few minutes for the brake pedal to come back up. The contact was able to continue to drive however the contact is now hearing squeaking noise coming from the brakes while driving. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer who diagnosed the failure as the rotor and caliber on service brakes would need replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,395.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving downhill at approximately 30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The contact stated that an excessive amount of pressure on the brake pedal was needed before the vehicle came to a stop. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that there was excessive rust on the rotors. The contact was informed that the rotors, calipers, and brake pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,500.

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.

SVC 4WD service light came on - Power Transfer Unit failing. 75000 miles on 2019 Cherokee Latitude Plus. Warranty was only 60000 miles. Should it fail while driving then jeep could not get out of other traffic's way. Dealer inspected it and confirmed PTU failing and needs replacement. my VIN is not on a recall list. I first noticed a few months ago a loss of power when either turning at a light or pulling out at a light. Dash warning light came on traveling at 40 mph near home.

1) The radio screen display has become streaky. The term used by the dealer is "delamination". This "delamination" can be easily seen whether radio is on or off. 2) The Uconnect function of the radio without prompting: a) Switches back and forth between Satelite radio and AM radio. b) Randomly calls people on the phone contact list. Numbers 1 and 2 above cause driver distraction and makes it harder to read vehicle information such as back up camera and navigation displays. The dealer has confirmed "delamination". There were no warning lamps, messages, etc. The issue first occurred in February 2021.

UNKNOWN The radio fades in and out. Happens only some of the time but if it is going to happen it happens right away or it doesn't happen at all. It sounds to me like the wiring is faulty. I checked the uconnect website and it says my software is up to date. I have seen this same complaint all over the internet. My sister-in-law has the exact same problem. Jeep refuses to take responsibility or really figured out the issue so that it can be fixed. There has to be something they can do. It is maddening and really sounds like it could be something applied to the lemon law.
