TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HOOD SHIMMIED AND SHUDDERED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE HOOD LATCH WOULD DETACH AND IMPACT THE DRIVER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. WATERTOWN FORD CHRYSLER (1600 9TH AVE SE, WATERTOWN, SD 57201, (605) 886-5844) SERVICED THE HOOD BY ADJUSTING VARIOUS KNOBS, WHICH THE CONTACT FELT WAS AN INTERIM REMEDY RATHER THAN A PERMANENT SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GET A SECOND OPINION. BILLION CHRYSLER, JEEP, LINCOLN, MERCURY, MAZDA (3401 WEST 41ST, SIOUX FALLS, SD 57106, 605-361-1919) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WORLD JEEP (681 STREWSBURY AVE, STREWSBURY, NJ) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE BATTERY ELECTRICAL CABLE. THE CABLE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHILE FLAT TOWING OUR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS 4X4 BEHIND OUR MOTOR HOME, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED ITSELF AND BEFORE WE COULD GET STOPPED IN ABOUT 1/2 OF A MILE, THE BACK TIRES AND WHEELS ON THE CAR WERE DESTROYED. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT NOR AM I LOOKING TO HOLD SOMEONE RESPONSIBLE. MY CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY MY VEHICLE INSURANCE COMPANY. I MERELY WANT TO REPORT WHAT HAPPENED TO HELP JEEP DETERMINE WHY THIS OCCURRED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN PEORIA, ARIZONA WHERE WE PURCHASED IT AS WELL AS THE JEEP DEALER IN JOPLIN, MO WHO REPLACED THE TIRES AND WHEELS. THEY BOTH TOLD ME THAT ON A BUMPY STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WITH NUMEROUS POT HOLES, AS THIS SECTION OF ROAD WAS, THAT THE "COMPUTER" TURNS ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AGAIN, WE WERE TOWING IT BEHIND THE MOTOR HOME AND HAD DONE SO ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THERE ARE A SET OF STEPS THAT YOU HAVE TO DO BEFORE TOWING THE VEHICLE, WHICH I HAVE DONE MANY TIMES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I CALLED JEEP HEADQUARTERS THREE TIMES TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANYONE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BEING INFORMED OF THIS. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE MY HUSBAND OR I WERE ACTUALLY DRIVING THE CAR, INSTEAD OF TOWING IT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS AS I ASSUME IT ALSO WOULD HAVE ENGAGED THE AIRBAGS. AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED AND I AM FEARFUL IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I'M NOT INTERESTED IN BLAME, LIABILITY, OR RESPONSIBILITY. I ONLY WANT JEEP TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND SEE IF THE EXPLANATIONS I'VE BEEN GIVEN ARE REASONABLE OR NOT.

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING, CAUSING A LAG IN MOTION. HAVE HAD ISSUES WHERE LACK OF ACCELERATION HAS PLACED MY WIFE AND I INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT, LIKE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE MY WIFE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER, 2018. TOOK IN TO THE JEEP DEALER IN COLORADO SPRINGS AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNTIL JEEP DECIDES TO ISSUE A SOFTWARE UPDATE. HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (HUNDREDS OF THEM) POSTED ON NHTSA AND CARCOMPLAINTS.COM . CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. AND A MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM NEEDS REPAIR. I CALLED ONE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT EVEN GIVE ME A DAY TO BRING IT IN. STOPPED AT ANOTHER DEALER AND IT WAS ABOUT 13 DAYS BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN. I DID FINALLY GET IT INTO THE DEALER. THAT VERY DAY THERE WAS A REPORT TO THE DEALERS OF AN ISSUE. THAT WAS ON JUNE 20. THEY DO HAVE A RECALL ONLINE, I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING IN THE MAIL. THERE STILL IS NO FIX APPARENTLY. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
