2019 Jeep Cherokee

AS I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 30MPH MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP. I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL. A SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME UPON MY DASH. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY REFUSED TO LET ME TOW IT THERE OR FIX IT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED THERE ANYWAYS WITHOUT TELLING THEM. IT WAS JUST A CODE THAT HAD TO BE CLEARED BUT THEY MADE ME PAY 120$ FOR LABOR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND AT NO FAULT TO MY OWN. THIS IS THE ONLY PROBLEM I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN THAT I LOVE IT. IF I WERE IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION ALTHOUGH IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS AND I WAS VERY UNHAPPY THE WAY THE DEALERSHIP TREATED ME.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP ON DECEMBER 12, 2018 FROM JT'S JEEP IN LEXINGTON SC. AT ROUGHLY 400 MILES, THE START/STOP SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE FOR SERVICE.I PARKED THE JEEP AND SHUT IT OFF, AND RESTARTED. WORKED FINE AFTER THAT. AT ROUGHLY 1,600 MILES, IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. SAME PROCEDURE. WENT AWAY. AT 7,500 MILES I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY CHECKED AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. AT 8000 MILES I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE IN COLUMBIA SC AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND IT LOST ALL POWER; POWER STEERING, ACCELERATION, BRAKING, AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE OF "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAULT" I MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED, DROVE TO GA FINE. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER HERE IN GA, THEY KEPT IT AN ENTIRE WEEK AND CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT THAT THEY FIXED A RECALL THAT WOULD REMEDY THE ISSUE. IT HAS NOT. IT HAS DONE THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN, SOMETIMES COMPLETELY LOCKING DOWN, OTHER TIMES JUST ILLUMINATING THE AUTO START STOP SERVICE LIGHT. I AM TERRIFIED OF MY VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW BECAUSE I NEEDED A SAFE, RELIABLE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT. IT CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 10,000 MILES. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF OF THE TIMES IT HAS WENT HAYWIRE.

2019 JEEP CHEEROKEE ENGINE KEEPS LOSING OIL I ONLY HAVE 6723 MILES ON JEEP IT TOTALLY TURNED OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS NO INDICATION AT ALL THAT THE JEEP NEEDED OIL IT WAS 5 MONTHS OLD AND HAD TO ADD 3 QUARTS OF OIL TO IT SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO ADD AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL EVERY OTHER MONTH THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A NEW VEHICLE RIGHT NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CHEEROKEE BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL TURN OFF SPOKE TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THAT ENGINE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT OR NOTHING THEY CAN DO SO I SHOULD KEEP OIL IN THE JEEP TO HAVE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS NOT A ACCEPTABLE ANSWER ESPECIALLY SINCE IT CAN TURN OFF AT ANYTIME WITH OUT WARNING THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT KICK IN WHEN YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT OR UP A HILL... BUT DON'T WORRY IT WILL KICK IN WHEN YOU ARE GOING DOWN A HILL! THE RADIO WILL DO WHATEVER IT WANTS FROM BLASTING MUSIC TO TURNING YOUR FAVORITE SONG OFF TO LISTEN TO AM RADIO, OR JUST LOCKING YOU OUT ALL TOGETHER . THE DEALERSHIP SAYS "IT IS JUST AN UPDATE" SORRY BUT THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP!

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4 X 4, IN SERVICE ON 4/2019, WITH 13,700 MILES AS OF 10/27/19. IN LAST TWO DAYS STEERING WHEEL IS JERKING IN MY HANDS, AS THOUGH THE LANE SENSE FEATURE IS TRYING TO BRING VEHICLE INTO CENTER OF LANE. THAT FEATURE IS DISENGAGED AND IS NEVER USED. THE JERK IS SLIGHT BUT PERCEPTIBLE AND ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE IN A LEFT TO RIGHT MOTION. SINCE I LIVE IN COUNTRY AND TRAVEL ROADS WITH SPEEDS AT 65+, GREAT CONCERN THAT THIS ISSUE MAY LEAD TO A FAILURE OF THE STEERING SYSTEM OR STEERING WHEEL ITSELF. HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE MANY YEARS AGO WITH A FORD VEHICLE, WHICH RESULTED IN A RECALL AFTER THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY VEHICLE ACTUALLY CAME OFF THE COLUMN AND SPILLED BEARINGS ON THE FLOOR.

WHILE DRIVING, MOSTLY DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY CHEROKEE WILL HAVE SLIPPING/BREAKAWAY INT THE STEERING TENSION. IT HAPPENS WHEN MOVING THE WHEEL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. I DRIVE AN HOUR FOR WORK, AND IT HAPPENS PROBABLY 30 TIMES MINIMUM DRIVING ONE WAY. THIS HAD HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY AND I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. IT STOPPED HAPPENING FOR A WHILE AFTER THAT (NOT SURE IF THEY DID SOMETHING), BUT IS AGAIN DOING IT. I HAD IT RECENTLY IN TO A JEEP DEALER FOR SERVICE ON OTHER ISSUES AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS AND THEY INDICATED THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING RIGHT THEN, AND DIDN'T HAVE MORE TIME TO LOOK INTO IT. I LET THEM KNOW I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY (HOPING I DON'T LOSE CONTROL). I ALSO HAD LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING RACK THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN SHOWN UP ON THE NHTSA LIST YET AS A FORMAL RECALL. MY APPOINTMENT IS NOW 3 WEEKS OUT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE ITS DOCUMENTED THAT I MADE A COMPLAINT IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. MY JEEP HAS ABOUT 27,000 MILES ON IT NOW.
