2019 Jeep Cherokee

EVER SINCE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE IT WILL PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL I FEEL RESISTANCE UNTIL IT GIVES AND JERKS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS GETTING STUCK AND THEN COMES LOOSE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN GOING AROUND 35-55MPH. WHEN AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED IT IS AS THOUGH THE MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE IS HELPING IT STAY STRAIGHT BUT IT WILL STILL DO IT.

WHEN DRIVING MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT SOMETIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS THE STEERING GETS TIGHT WHEN MAKING A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO THE STEERING, WHICH MAKES ME PULL IT HARDER TO GET IT LOOSE AND THEN HAVE TO OVER COMPENSATE TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS EXTREMLEY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND CHRYSLER LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THIS IS NORMAL WITH THE ELECTRONIC SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE NORMAL BECAUSE IT IS PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AUGUST 2018.

THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE TURNED APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF AN INCH IN EITHER DIRECTION BEFORE THE WHEELS WOULD RESPOND.

WHILE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE IS RUNNING, REGARDLESS OF THE GEAR SELECTION, THERE IS A SLIGHT JERKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS JERKING OCCURS AT RANDOM WITH NO OTHER NOTICEABLE ISSUES. THIS ISSUE IS NOT "THROWING" A CODE AND DEALERSHIP IS CLAIMING THERE IS NO ISSUE FOUND. ODOMETER IS AT 10340 MILES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AS IT COULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT IF NOT RESOLVED. ISSUE OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION AND OCCURS APPROXIMATELY EVERY MINUTE OR SO. IT OCCURS ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY. IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR DURING A TURN. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC DRIVING CONDITION THAT RESOLVES THE PROBLEM OR WORSENS THE PROBLEM.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 2.4L TURBO. DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE, RPM'S WILL INCREASE BY 2000 AND WILL NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL CRUISE IS DISENGAGED. ALSO WHILE DRIVING IN CITY IN SURFACE ROADS WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR WILL JUST STOP ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL. CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE ENGINE STILL RUNNING. HAD TO TURN OFF CAR AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANE ON WHEN CAR WAS RESTARTED WITH MESSAGE OF "CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR". LIGHT WENT OFF BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO DEALER. DEALER SAID THE COULD NOT FIND A CODE OR DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST TIME ON 1/11/2020

WHILE DRIVING SLOWING AND COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY LIGHT WILL START FLASHING AND THEN THE CAR WILL STALL AND SHUT OFF. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF FOR 15 SECONDS THEN TURN THE KEY TO START IT AGAIN AND THE CAR WILL CRANK OVER VERY SLOWLY AND SPUTTER FOR ABOUT 4 SECOND BEFORE STARTING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 2 WEEK. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS MONDAY JAN 6 2020, 2ND WAS JAN 10TH 2020 AND THIRD WAS JAN 13TH 2020. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FRIDAY JAN 10TH AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND GAVE ME THE VEHICLE BACK. I WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN TO CALL BACK.
