Recalls and investigations

1. Electrical system, wiring, rear compartment/trunkPark outsideMay 11, 2023

   Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with a power liftgate. An electrical short in the power liftgate module may lead to a vehicle fire with the ignition on or off.

   A fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.

   Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will relocate the power liftgate module and add a water shield. In addition, dealers will inspect for corrosion and replace the module and electrical connectors, if necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner letters were mailed March 1, 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 49A. This recall supersedes recalls 15V-393 and 15V-826.

2. Power train, driveline, differential unitJun 11, 2020

   Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with a two-speed Power Transfer Unit (PTU). Relative movement in the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) between the differential input splines and the transmission output shaft may cause some input spline teeth to wear off, which may eventually cause a loss of engagement between the transmission and the differential inside the PTU. If this occurs, power cannot be transferred between the front wheels and the transmission which results in a loss of drive while the vehicle is in motion and a loss of the Park function while stationary.

   A loss of drive can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. A loss of the Park function can cause unintended vehicle rollaway which can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

   FCA US LLC will notify owners, and dealers will perform a software update that will maintain vehicle propulsion by engaging rear wheel drive and prevent rolling in Park by activating the electronic parking brake if a failed input spline occurs. This recall began July 14, 2020. Owners may contact FCA USA LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is W47.

   Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with 3.2L engines. In the event that a clutch becomes stuck in the transmission, the transmission software may shift the transmission to neutral.

   An unexpected shift to neutral would result in a loss of drive, increasing the risk of crash.

   Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the transmission software, free of charge. The recall began August 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is V69.

These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

   If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

   Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.

1. Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Aug 14, 2017

   PURCHASED USED WITH 36,000 MI. ON 20TH DAY OF OWNERSHIP, EXPERIENCED THE FEELING OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE APPROACHING DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEED. THAT EVENING FELT SAME "REAR-ENDED" FEELING WHILE SITTING STILL IN DRIVE-THRU. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD SO SUDDENLY THAT HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, WE WOULD HAVE HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. SIMULTANEOUS TO "LURCH" FORWARD, THE CAR DIED LIKE THE FEELING OF "POPPING CLUTCH ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION". DROVE HOME AND ENGINE DIED AGAIN AT ABOUT 5 MPH AFTER RIGHT TURN. RESTARTED & CONTINUED ONTO STREET AND INTO DRIVEWAY. NEXT MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, IT FELT LIKE IT WANTED TO DIE AND WAS STRUGGLING WITH GEARS. I PULLED INTO MY PARKING PLACE AND MY BOSS HAPPENED TO BE STANDING THERE NEXT TO HIS CAR. AS HE STOOD NEXT TO THE CAR WHILE I WAS IN IT, IT LURCHED FORWARD AGAIN AND DIED. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE WAS STARTLED, AND AGAIN, HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, I COULD HAVE HIT HIM AS WELL AS THE BRICK WALL IN FRONT OF THE CAR. SO I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT DIED AGAIN WHILE IN "P". NOT COOL, HEADED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I STARTED IT AGAIN, AND AS I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONTO A VERY BUSY STREET, THE CAR HESITATED (WHAT SEEMED LIKE A COUPLE OF SECONDS) BEFORE IT WOULD CROSS THE 2 LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC GOING 40-50 MPH. UM, YEAH. SCARY. A MILE OR SO DOWN THE ROAD, IT DECIDED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN, THIS TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3-LANE ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED! I RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT - NO DIAGNOSIS THERE AFTER THEM KEEPING THE CAR FOR 4 DAYS. THEY SENT TO JEEP DEALER, WHERE IT STILL SITS TODAY, WAITING FOR IT TO ACT-UP AND GET A DIAGNOSIS SO IT CAN BE "FIXED". JEEP HAS HAD IT 15 DAYS AND STILL NO ANSWERS. I HAD THE CAR 20 DAYS, AND THE DEALER(S) HAVE HAD IT A TOTAL OF 18. THIS CAR IS A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN....

2. Power train, Wheels, Engine, Aug 9, 2017

   SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO TAKE TO MULTIPLE DEALERS, THAT COULD NEVER REMEDY THE "HARD JERKING, MISSED GEAR SHIFTING AND REPETITIVE ENGINE LIGHT WARNING AND COMPLETE ENGINE SHUTDOWNS". I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE, THAT I'M TOLD THE ONLY FIX IS TO COMPLETELY REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD A COMPUTER REPROGRAM WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. I PERFORMED A VIN AUDIT, AND SOME OF THE VISITS TO THE MULTIPLE DEALERS DON'T REFLECT THE ACTUAL SERVICE, BUT I HAVE MY DOCUMENTS. NOW I HAVE A NEGATIVE EQUITY VEHICLE THAT I FEAR TO DRIVE, AT THE MOMENT I JUST TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY LOOKED AT IT AND NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF. I HAVE ORAL FEAR THE INCONSISTENCIES OF THIS VEHICLE, SO I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE, UNTIL I GET A RESOLVE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AFTER MULTIPLE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON I-80 WHILE COMING BACK FROM A FAMILY TRIP FROM NYC. GOING 65 MPH TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOSS COMPLETE POWER IS INSANE. THE ONLY RESOLVE WAS TO PULL OVER, WAIT, AND TRY AGAIN.

   HELLO, MY 2014 CHEROKEE SPORT, 38K MILES, 2 WHEEL DRIVE, HAS SHUT OFF ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN A 5-DAY PERIOD, WITHOUT WARNING AS I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASH AND SUDDENLY THE CAR TURNED OFF. I BOUGHT IT USED 6 MONTHS AGO. THERE WAS A RECALL #S55 FOR THE TRANSMISSION, PART SOFTWARE AND PART HARDWARE, THAT WAS REPORTED TO BE COMPLETE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED SINCE I AM STILL EXPERIENCING RANDOM LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. OR, PERHAPS THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE PART OF THE RECALL WAS COMPLETE, BUT THE PART WAS STILL NOT FIXED. THE LOCAL SHOP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING, OF COURSE, AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE LAST OIL CHANGE (2K MILES AGO) WAS WITH SEMI SYNTHETIC RATHER THAN SYNTHETIC OIL, AND THAT I NEEDED TO GET THE OIL CHANGED. THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST BIZARRE THINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD AS A CAUSE FOR ENGINE CUTTING OFF. ANY IDEAS? IT FEELS LIKE A DEATH TRAP AND I AM TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. AFTER TWO CAR SHOPS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIND AN ISSUE AND STILL TELL ME THAT "EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT FINE" (OTHER THAN THE OIL) I AM AT A LOSS.

    EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. USING 3 1/2 QUARTS OF OIL IN THE OIL CHANGE MILEAGE OF 3000-3400 MILES. ONCE ENGINE OIL LEVEL REACHES 2 QUARTS OF ENIGINE OIL, ENGINE WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP WITH NO LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT OR WARNING. IT WILL STOP ON HIGHWAY , STREET, DRIVEWAY, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. WHICH TO ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SUPPOSEDLY IT IS DESIGNED TO DO THAT SO THE ENGINE WILL NOT BURN UP. JEEP SAID THEY RECOGNIZE 1 QT OF OIL CONSUMPTION FOR EVERY 1000 MILES FOR A VEHICLE OVER 50,000 MILES WHICH TO ME IS EXCESSIVE ESPECIALLY WITH TODAY'S INDUSTRY STANDARD.

    IF YOU SLOW DOWN THEN TRY TO SPEED UP THE VEHICLE HESITANTS AT SOME POINT IT BANGS INTO GEAR THEN TAKES OFF.I ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FROM A RAMP ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE DID NOT SPEED UP IT WAS LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN A LOW GEAR AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THIS CAUSED THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO SWERVE AROUND ME SO HE COULD GET AHEAD OF THE SPEEDING TRAFFIC THEN MY VEHICLE HAD A LOUD BANG AS IT FINALLY WENT INTO GEAR AND TOOK OFF LIKE A BULLET. SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. SO YIELDING IN THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I KNOW THIS HAPPENS SO I AM VERY CAUTOUS WHEN DRIVING AS THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR INCIDENT TO HAPPEN AND IT IS SCARY. I HAD SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAD THEM ALL FIXED.TOOK THIS TO BE FIXED, BUT THEY CAN FIX IT. THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM AS THEY WERE GETTING COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS. STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND SLOW AND GO TRAFFIC IS EVERYDAY LIFE THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS.

    SOMETHING STRANGE STARTED HAPPENING, IT SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL WHILE I WAS TRYING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, ALMOST WENT THROUGH. BRAKES LOCKED LATER HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THEY KEPT A FEW DAYS, SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. FROM DAY ONE I WAS TOLD IT WAS A 9 SPEED SHIFT THING AND I FELT EVERY SINGLE ONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL. SO ME UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION, BUT TRUST THE DEALER, KEPT DRIVING THIS CAR, THAT I FELT UNSAFE IN EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY. EACH DAY I PRAYED THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. TILL THIS DAY, IT STILL SHIFTS FROM EACH GEAR WITH A JERK, I NOTICE THE PERSONS HEADS IN MY CAR JERK, EVERY TIME I GO FROM A STOP TO TRY TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS HAD SUCH A STRONG KICK WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS THAT I FELT LIKE I WAS GETTING HIT IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS CONTINUED FOR A WHILE AND THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO START ODDLY, AND AS I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR PARK TO DRIVE THE CAR LITERALLY FELT AS IF THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, WHAT HAVE YOU WAS GOING TO FALL OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. EACH TIME I SHIFTED TO PARK TO REVERSE IT WOULD JOLT. I THEN TRIED TO GO IN REVERSE AND THE CAR WAS SOUNDING AND FEELING SO SCARY THAT I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER YET AGAIN. I AT THIS TIME, WAS OVER MY MILES AND DUE TO ME LEASING THE WARRANTY WAS DONE, SO THE DEALER WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT FREE, LUCKILY THERE WAS A RECALL ON SENSOR WIRE HARNESS, POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, SO THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD FIX THE RECALL ONLY. THE RECALL WAS DONE JANUARY 17, 2017. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 6 DAYS. AFTER THEY FIXED THE RECALL, THE CAR WORKED BETTER, THE GEAR SHIFTS HAVE NEVER CHANGED. TODAY IS MARCH 28, 2017 AND THE CAR BEGAN ACTING THE SAME WAY PRIOR TO THE RECALLS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, AGAIN I JUST PRAY THAT IT WILL JUST START. TODAY IT ALMOST DID NOT START AND THE SHIFT TO REVERSE DREADFUL.

    AFTER FIXING THE TRANSMISSION RECALL. MY TRANSMISSION HAS ONCE AGAIN STARTED ACTING UP. JEEP REFUSES TO SWITCH GEARS. MUST SERVICE VEHICLE AGAIN. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, IT SEEMS, WITH MULTIPLE OWNERS. VEHICLE ITSELF NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. VEHICLE IN MOTION. ON HIGHWAY. (BOTH TIMES)

19. Vehicle speed control, Engine, Mar 28, 2017

    I ATTEMPTED TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT ON A 4 LANE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. IT KEPT ACCELERATING AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE TACHOMETER WAS BETWEEN 6000 TO 7000 RPM. I HIT THE ACCELERATOR A FEW TIMES AND IT DROPPED TO NORMAL RPM'S. THE STOP LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN AND I PUT THE SHIFTER FROM THE NEUTRAL POSITION TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS.

    TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED AND TURNED OFF. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT RESTART EVEN WHEN THE WIPER SWITCH WAS TURNED ON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,300. THE CONTACT HAS STATED BY DISCONECTING THE BATTERY THE WIPERS TURN OFF AND THE CONNECTING THE BATTERY AGAIN FIXES IT TEMPORARILY. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THE WIPERS WOULD START WHILE THEY WERE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY SLUGGISH AS IF IT WERE GOING TO DIE WHILE BEING DRIVEN. *JS

21. Engine, Mar 12, 2017

    MY JEEP STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN MOTION. CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED AS WELL AS MY DEALER. THEY BOTH INDICATE THAT I NEED TO ADD OIL BETWEEN 750 TO 2000 MILES TO PREVENT A STALL. THE STALL IS A "SAFETY" FEATURE THAT PREVENTS THE MOTOR FROM SEIZING ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS WERE COMPLETED AT 500 MILES WITH NO NEGATIVE DATA. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS TO INCLUDE AN OIL PRESSURE WARNING. EVERY 750 MILES SEEMS EXCESSIVE AND I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AT LOW OIL PRESSURE, THAT A WARNING LIGHT WOULD INDICATE THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO STALL. CHRYSLER HAS CLOSED MY COMPLAINT WITH NO FURTHER ACTION AND INDICATED IT WAS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MONITOR EVERY 750 MILES. EACH STALL WAS WHILE IN MOTION AND ON A BUSY ROAD. THE DATE PROVIDED IS APPROXIMATE. STALLS HAVE HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE REPLENISH SYNTHETIC OIL WITH SIGNIFICANT REGULARITY.

22. Engine, Mar 7, 2017

    THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND DEAD STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS THE DRIVE II TRANSMISSION. THERE HAS NOW BEEN 3 TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS CAR AND WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE BEING BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR THAT DEAD STOPS. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A SEVERE CRASH. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER RECALLS ALSO ON THIS CAR. THOSE HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. THESE HAVE ALL BEEN SINCE PURCHASE DATE OF JULY 2014.

23. Engine, Mar 5, 2017

    WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR STEER. I RECEIVED THE MESSAGE ON THE MESSAGE CENTER THAT SAID "CAR MUST BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO SHIFT." THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I ENDED UP BEING TOLD THAT THEY FOUND NO OIL IN THE MOTOR, THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND I SHOULD BEGIN AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I SHOULD NOTE, I HAD GONE ALMOST 6,000 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND RECEIVED THE "OIL CHANGE REQUIRED" MESSAGE ON THE MESSAGE CENTER FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT VERY MORNING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND ENGINE. I ASKED WHY I DIDN'T GET SOME TYPE OF WARNING LIGHT. WAS TOLD THAT THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE A LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT. I SAID OK, BUT IT DOES HAVE AN OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WHY WOULDN'T ONE OF THOSE COME ON? THEY HAD NO ANSWER. I STARTED MONITORING THE OIL MYSELF EVERY 250 MILES. AFTER I DROVE 1000 MILES, THE OIL WAS AT THE SAME FULL LEVEL AS IT WAS WHEN THE OIL CHANGE OCCURRED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AGAIN IN 1000 MILES. I WAS MONITORING THE SITUATION FOR THE NEXT 1000 MILES AND, AS OF THE THE DAY BEFORE I TOOK THE CAR IN, THE OIL LEVEL DROPPED ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE "FULL ZONE". THE DEALER TOLD ME THE OIL WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS BEFORE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR! I AM FORTUNATE THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT A RELATIVELY LOW RATE OF SPEED. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR'S MODEL THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THE SAME BY THE DEALER INITIALLY, BUT NOW I AM BEING TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

    JUST BOUGHT WITH 40K MILES ONE MONTH AGO (1/21/2017). 1 WEEK AFTER BUYING, WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE MIDDLE A BUSY CITY INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE SHUTTERED AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. I WAS RIGHT IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. THE DISPLAY INDICATED THAT I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART. I DID, BUT IT RESTARTED AND PRESSING GAS DIDN'T EVEN REV THE ENGINE. I WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND RESTARTED. IT WORKED AND I DROVE AWAY. FOUND OUT ABOUT SAFETY RECALL THAT DAY AND HAD JEEP DEALER DO THE RECALL THE NEXT DAY..THEN, 2 WEEKS LATER, I WAS IN PARK AT THE VET WITH THE ENGINE ON, THE ENGINE STUTTERED AND DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I RESTARTED IT AND AGAIN, PRESSING THE GAS...EVEN FLOORING IT...DID NOT EVEN REV THE ENGINE AT ALL. I WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS, RESTARTED, AND DROVE OFF FINE. I GOT AN OIL CHANGE WITH FULL SYNTH (0W 20) OIL THE NEXT DAY, BECAUSE OF SOME REPORTS THAT THE OIL COULD BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THEN ONLY A WEEK LATER (YESTERDAY, 2/18/17), I WAS ON A TRIP TO WEST VIRGINIA WITH MY WIFE (140 MILES FROM HOME), AND WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT (TURNING RIGHT) AND IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING. THE ENGINE JUST SHUTTERED AND SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS LUCKY TO DRIFT CLOSE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT I DIDN'T EVEN GET FULLY OFF THE ROAD, RESTARTED, AND NO AMOUNT OF PRESSING THE GAS WOULD EVEN REV THE ENGINE. I TURNED IT OFF, WAITED 30 SECONDS, AND RESTARTED. IT WORKS, THOUGH IT DOESN'T SEEM SMOOTH ANY MORE, BUT NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I'VE HAD MANY VEHICLES, BUT HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I WILL BE GOING BACK TO JEEP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO KEEP PAYING FOR VISITS WHERE THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING (LIKE A LOT OF FOLKS WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ON THE BOARDS). I LOVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT I'M ACTUALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. ...UPDATED 05/11/17 *BF

25. Engine, Feb 4, 2017

    WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING AROUND THE CORNER, VEHICLE LOST POWER BUT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT ALSO DID THIS THE FOLLOWING DAY. AFTER A INTERNET SEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER SUCH AS THIS IF THE OIL IS LOW. AFTER CHECKING THE OIL DIP STICK, IT WAS LOW BY 2 QUARTS. NO OIL INDICATOR DISPLAYED IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER ADDING THE OIL, THE STALLS WENT AWAY.
