2019 Jeep Cherokee

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 3 DAYS AGO WITH 17,600 MILES. , I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE VEHICLE CUT OFF WHEN AT A STOPPED POSITION EVEN IF THE GEARS ARE IN DRIVE. TODAY I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE BUT SHOWED NO SIGN OF POWER, I WAITIED AND TRIED AGAIN. ONCE I GOT THE VEHICLE TO RUN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DO KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO NOT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED.

I GOT MY CAR MID JUNE AND AFTER PUTTING ON ABOUT 4000 MILES I STARTED HEARING AND FEELING SOME STRANGE THINGS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. HERE IS LIST OF THE ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING: AFTER STARTING MY CAR & PUTTING IT INTO GEAR (DRIVE), I DRIVE ABOUT 200 TO 500 FT (AT A MAX SPEED OF 30MPH) AND I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND SOMETIMES IT WILL START MOVING IN LOW GEAR VERY SLOWLY THEN IT SUDDENLY JERKS AND FLIES (AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR ITS PREVIOUS LACK OF RESPONSE) RECENTLY WHEN I WENT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE (BACKING OUT A PARKING SPOT) THE CAR WENT INTO LOW GEAR IT TOOK ABOUT 30 SECONDS FOR IT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL PS I LIVE IN BROOKLYN NY

VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY RESULTING IN LACK OF POWER UPON ACCELERATION. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I SLOW DOWN WHEN APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN BEFORE I COME TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE LUGS, AND HAS NO POWER TO BEGIN ACCELERATING AGAIN. THE SAME SITUATION OCCURS WHEN SLOWING TO AVOID TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING AT ROUND ABOUTS AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATED OUT OF THE TURN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JEEP SERVICE CENTER TWICE. THEIR RESPONSE ON THE REPAIR TICKET: "TEST DROVE AND JEEP SHIFTS AND FEELS LIKE OTHER 8/9 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. AT THIS TIME NOTHING FURTHER." SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND JEEP DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AVAILABLE. THEY DID PERFORM A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH DID NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED WITH 24,158 MILES. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED CONSISTENTLY SINCE THEN.VEHICLE NOW HAS 31,808 MILES.

ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS ACCELERATING WHEN MAKING A TURN. WARNING ON THE DASH SAID THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SHIFTED WHILE MOVING, BUT I HADN'T TOUCHED THE SHIFTER- IT WAS LOCKED IN DRIVE. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS TYPE OF ENGINE STALL IN 4 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME I ONLY HAD 1200 MILES ON THE CAR, THIS TIME 3400 MILES. WHEN ENGINE QUIT I LOST POWER STEERING. ENGINE RESTARTED OK.*DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY THAT THE CAR CAN'T SHIFT TO PARK WHILE IT'S MOVING AND ENGINE HAS STALL, HADN'T TOUCHED THE SHIFT LEVER. *TP

EVERYTIME I SLOWED DOWN MY JEEP WOULD CUT OFF. I FIGURED OUT I COULD GET IT TO RESTART IN NEUTRAL AS I'M FINDING SOMEWHERE TO COAST OFF ROAD, BUT WOULD HAVE TO PUT IN PARK TO SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE. I MADE IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND HOPEFULLY A RECALL WILL BE SOON BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE JEEP USING OIL AND THEN THE ENGINE STARTS SHUTTING DOWN TO PROTECT FURTHER DAMAGE. THEY FILLED WITH OIL AND IT RAN FINE.. THE DEALERS TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TO DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TO TURN INTO MOPAR. SO I HAVE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. THE FIRST 1000 IT USED VERY LITTLE AND THEY SAID GO AHEAD AND TRY ANOTHER 1000 AND COME BACK. I MADE IT TO ABOUT 500 MILES AND NOW MY JEEP WILL NOT START. THANKFULLY IT IS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I DIDN'T BREAK DOWN ON THE STREET AGAIN. I'M GOING TO TOP OFF THE OIL AND SEE IF THAT DOES ANYTHING. I'M AFRAID OF ANOTHER PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT MAKING ANY NOISE WHEN I TRY STARTING. ALSO, FEBRUARY 2019 I DID GET THE RECALL FIXED (POWER CONTROL MODULE) FROM THE DEALER. SO WHEN I WENT BACK FOR THIS ISSUE THEY TOLD ME I'D HAVE TO PAY THEM $130 FOR THEM TO EVEN TAKE A LOOK. I WAS SURPRISED TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE SO I WENT TO THE DEALER IN THE NEXT COUNTY AND THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME! ANOTHER THING IS THE SCREEN/INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS WENT OUT A FEW TIMES. ONCE THE ORIGINAL DEALER RESET IT, BUT IT STILL GOES OUT SOMETIMES OR IT GETS STUCK ON THE DIAL/KEYPAD SCREEN. BOTTOM LINE: NOW MY 2019 JEEP IS STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SOLUTION.

MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN LEAKING BADLY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ONLY DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THEN MY DASH'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED CAUSING IT TO ONLY COME ON SOMETIMES AND NOT REACT TO TOUCHSCREEN, THEN MY START STOP SENSOR FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REGISTER THAT IT WAS NOT IN PARK AND SOME TIMES PUTTING ITSELF INTO PARK UNTIL REGISTERING.
