2019 Jeep Cherokee

MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING, ON A CITY STREET,CAUSING ME GREAT PANIC, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, I WASN'T ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. TOOK 3 TRYS TO GET IT STARTED AGIN.I CALLED DEALER, TOOK IT RIGHT OVER, MECHANIC SAID OIL WASN'T TOUGHING DIP STICK. NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY KIND CAME ON, TO LET ME KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!, AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED!

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE IS DOING EVERYTHING THAT THE POWER TRAIN RECALL WAS LISTED FOR IN 2018 BUT THIS VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS BROKE DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAVE EVEN BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY JUST TO FIND OUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE MOST RECENT TIME IT BROKE DOWN IT WAS STATIONARY, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ACROSS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE FLASHED LIKE THAT BEFORE WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AND CITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AT ONE POINT THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY 4-5 TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TURNERSVILLE JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (3100 NJ-42, TURNERSVILLE, NJ 08081, (856)316-7958) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

BOUGHT A USED 28K MILE 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE FWD ON DEC 20TH 2020. TOOK IT THROUGH A CAR WASH FIRST WEEKEND OF JANUARY 2021. AT END OF WASH WHEN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT OUT OF NUETRAL AND INTO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I COULD HEAR IT SPINNING BUT NO ACTION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST FORWARD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHERS LEAVING THE CAR WASH.THINKING IT WAS A FLUKE I TOOK IT BACK FOLLOWING WEEKEND. SAME THING HAPPENED. I COASTED TO A SAFE PLACE TO PARK. NO PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES. LIGHTS HAD BEEN FLASHING ON SHIFTER PANEL BUT HAD STOPPED BEFORE I READ WHAT WAS SAID. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SCOPED IT AND REPORTED NO PROBLEMS. SAID IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO PUT CAR IN PARK , TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART AGAIN TO RESET COMPUTER WHICH WAS CONFUSED BY WHEELS TURNING IN NUETRAL THROUGH CAR WASH. SAID THEY HADNT HAD OTHER SUCH ISSUES. IVE NEVER OWNED A CAR WITH THIS ISSUE. I'M OF SOUND MIND BUT WAS VERY HARRIED AT THIS EVENT KNOWING OTHER CARS WERE RIGHT BEHIND ME !! DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I CAN'T HAVE BOUGHT THE ONLY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE FWD VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE.

SLOWING TO A STOP LIGHT AND VEHICLE STALLED OUT LOSING ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD THE RECALLS ASSOCIATED COMPLETED AND HAD A RECENT OILS CHANGE. THE DAY AFTER THE RECALLS, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN BEFORE COMING TO A FULL STOP. TWICE IT WAS ON A HIGHWAY, ONCE IN A DRIVEWAY, ONCE IN AN INTERSECTION COMING OFF A BRIDGE. TWICE IN MOTION OTHERS WERE AT A STOP. I LOST COUNT AND THE ISSUE IS INCONSISTENT. MOST RECENT 1/24/21

NOVEMBER OF 2019 BATTERY VOLTAGE WAS LOW. WHILE DRIVING STEERING WOULD JERK/PULL/GRAB TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. DID THIS MANY TIMES DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, MAKING TURNS AND A FEW TIMES THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN. I MADE SURE TO KEEP MY DISTANCE DURING THIS TIME WHILE DRIVING AND THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS. SCARED TO DRIVE VEHICLE. HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE THEY SAID IT WAS GOOD. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FOUND WIRES RAN BY JEEP DURING MANUFACTURE FOUND A WIRE CHAFE NEAR STARTER AND WAS A GROUND WIRE. FIXED THE ISSUE. FAST FORWARD 11/2020 GETTING NAV DISPLAY REPLACED DUE TO SCREEN SEPARATION. FIRST RADIO INSTALL WAS NOT COMPATIBLE, AND STEERING HAS BEEN MESSED UP SINCE THE FIRST RADIO WAS PULLED OUT AND PUT BACK IN. COINCIDENCE NOT SURE... JUMPY/PLAY/LOOSE/STIFF WHEN CORRECTING TO STAY IN LANE. EXPLAINED THIS TO DEALERSHIP, SAFETY CONCERN, HAVE TO FIGHT THE WHEEL TO DRIVE AND ONLY DID THIS WHEN THERE WAS AN ISSUE IN 2019. 4TH VISIT BACK TO DEALERSHIP 3RD RADIO FINALLY WORKED. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY INSTALLED A STEERING SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEY DROVE MY VEHICLE APPROX. 50 MILES. SAID THERE IS PLAY/JERKING/JUMPING IN STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND TO LET THEM KNOW IF IT CONTINUES... I FEEL LIKE A DRUNK DRIVER, UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 40K MILES. I CAN'T PIN POINT WHY THE CAR IS DOING THIS AND HOW TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. JEEP SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE COME ACROSS MANY COMPLAINTS FOR CHEROKEE STEERING ISSUES. THIS IS A HAZARD AND VERY DANGEROUS, I DRIVE 2 HOURS ROUND TRIP FOR WORK.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT OR TO TURN MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AND NOW AS I WAS TRYING TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START BRAKE BECAME HARD TO THE POINT WERE THE PEDDLE DIDN'T MOVE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AS WELL AS THE BATTERY LIGHT. WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND WAITING TO MERGE MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AGAIN.
