2019 Jeep Cherokee

FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. THE CAR DIED AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING WENT BLANK. I SAT FOR 10 MINUTES DUE TO NOT STARTING UP. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT OVER. AFTER STARTING IT BACK I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED IT WAS A RECALL AND IT WAS FIXED. WELL THIS MORNING I WENT TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP SIGN WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DIED, I WAS STUCK IN 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR RESTARTED AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THAT THEY CHANGED MY OIL AND COULD TELL THAT IN LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE THAT'S WHAT IT IS. THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP THE CAR OVER THE WEEKEND AND LET ME KNOW. HOWEVER MY FRIEND HAS THE SAME 2019 AND HER CAR HAS DONE THE SAME THING AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

WHILE JUST BEGINNING TO EXIT A FREEWAY, MY STEERING LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. I HAD NO CONTROL BUT RECALL SEEING A RED LIGHT JUST COMING ON THE DASH (OBVIOUSLY, I COULDN'T ASCERTAIN WHAT THEY LIGHT WAS AT THE TIME AS MY CAR WAS DOING MULTIPLE 360 SPINS DOWN THE EXIT RAMP!) TRY AS I MIGHT, I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. AFTER COMING TO REST AGAINST A TRAFFIC SIGN, I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT IT WAS AN ALERT FOR MY STEERING THAT HAD COME ON. IT REMAINED ON EVEN AS I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE INJURIES TO MY HEAD, BACK, LEGS, WRIST, HIPS, SHOULDER AND HIP. THIS IS A MOST EGREGIOUS FAILURE AND I AM QUITE UNDERSTANDABLY RETICENT TO TRUST ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS COMPONENT. AFTER 1 WEEK, SILENCE IS THE ONLY SOUND I HAVE HEARD FROM EITHER THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER/JEEP. THIS SILENCE IS MOST DISTURBING. NO HELP FOR A RENTAL OR LOANER, AND AS AN INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING, EVEN MY OWN AUTO INSURANCE IS NOT PROVIDING ANY SUPPORT FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT THANKFULLY HAS STEPPED UP TO HELP WITH THE MEDICAL BILLS.*DT *DT*JB *DT *DT *DT*JB *DT*JB *JB *DT *DT MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO FIX THE STEERING.*JB *TR*JB *DT *TR *DT*DT*JB*JB*DT*JB*DT

WHILE OPERATING MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON 3 OCCURRENCES. EACH TIME IT STALLED THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IT HAS HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC TO A SAFER LOCATION AND THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. MULTIPLE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP TO THE FUEL SYSTEM WITH AN ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. THE PROBLEM IS STILL ON GOING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING IN A MOVING OR ACCELERATING VEHICLE AND WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. MY FAMILY DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS < 60 DAYS OLD AND < 3000 MILES.

AS OF MAY 5TH EXPERIENCED A SAFETY RISK WITH THIS JEEP AND IT'S 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND TRIED TO MERGE TO ANOTHER EXPRESSWAY AND VEHICLE FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT OR ACCELERATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE. THIS WAS ALSO ACCOMPANIED WITH EXCESSIVE GEAR HUNTING ALONG WITH HARD SHIFTS AND LONG/HIGH RPM SHIFTS. NOT TO MENTION IT WILL LUNGE OR TRY TO OVERPOWER THE BRAKES WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT. WILL BE GOING TO THE SHOP FOR THE 4TH TIME FOR SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS, IT IS RANDOM AND NEVER KNOW WHAT IT WILL DO NEXT. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY RISK!

AT ABOUT 1200 MILES, DASHBOARD LIT UP, CAR STALLED AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. DEALER CHANGED BATTERY. BRINGING HOME FORM DEALER, HAPPENED AGAIN. DEALER HAD IT TWO WEEKS. PICKED IT UP AND AT 1600 MILES, HAPPENED AGAIN. DEALER HAD IT THREE WEEKS AND CHANGED OUT COMPUTER. PICKED IT UP AND NEXT MORNING DASHBOARD LIT UP. STOPPED CAR BEFORE IT COULD STALL, AND HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. AFTER TWO WEEKS I PICKED IT UP. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT. 4 TIMES IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND OVER 45 DAYS IN THE DEALER. DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS: AIRBAG, BRAKING, PARK ASSIST, ELECTRONIC STABILITY, BATTERY, LANE WARNING, ETC. IF THERE ARE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH, IT LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. ALL ISSUED HAPPENED WHILE THE AUTO WAS IN MOTION

JEEP HAS 6664 MILES ON IT AND AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND SAYS THAT AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICED. AT FIRST THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN TURN BACK OFF HOWEVER, NOW THE LIGHT IS ON AND REMAINS ON. NEXT COMPLAINT IS THAT AFTER SLOWING VEHICLE DOWN AND BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE JEEP SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY...IT IS HESITANT AND THEN SUDDENLY PICKS UP SPEED. 3RD COMPLAINT. WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS PULLING AGAINST THE BRAKE (AS IF YOU WERE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND BRAKE AT SAME TIME) IN A "LUNGING" MANNER.

THE PROBLEM IS A SMUDGE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AT EYE LEVEL WHEN THE WIPERS RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION. WE REPLACED THE WIPERS FIRST WITH THE MOST EXPENSIVE WE COULD FIND AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE SO THAT IS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP BENNY BOYD OF LAMPASIS REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD UNDER WARRANTY. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID BECAME WORSE WITH THE NEW WINDSHIELD AND NOW THERE WERE STREAKS, SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE EXPENSIVE WIPERS WITH OEM WIPERS AND STILL IT DID THE SAME. WE WERE ADVISED BY OUR SERVICE MANAGER CHRISTOPHER WEIR TO CALL CHRYSLER @ 800-992-1997 AND START A STAR CASE, THE CASE NUMBER IS OR WAS 58366091. THE CASE OPENED AND SUPPOSEDLY LOOKED INTO BY SOME ENGINEERS PER THE CONVERSATION OF THE CASE MANAGER @ CHRYSLER. THE RESPONSE WE RECEIVED BACK FROM THE CASE MANGER WAS THAT IT WAS THE CHARACTERISTIC FOR THIS VEHICLE????? I AM PROVIDING A URL FOR THE JEEP FORUM WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT.
