Steering, Service brakes, Engine, Sep 3, 2019
WHILE DRIVING THIS MORNING AT 70 MPH MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE 2.0 TURBO LOST ALL POWER, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I FOUGHT TO PULL IT OFF THE ROAD. RIGHT WHEN IT STALLED OUT THE MESSAGE CENTER STATED "AUTO START/STOP NOT AVAILABLE" AND THE AUTO START/STOP LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT. THE 'D' DRIVE INDICATOR ON THE DASH WAS BLINKING. UPON STOPPING AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, IT TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, AND NOTHING. THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN AUTO STOP AS THE DOOR CHIME DINGED WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF (PUSH BUTTON START). LOCKING THE VEHICLE LEFT THE DASH LIT UP LIKE IT WAS RUNNING. CHRYSLER HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS WAITING TO BE LOOKED AT. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING THIS WHEN IT HAPPENED SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKE ASSIST.
Electrical system, Engine, Aug 29, 2019
THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AND YESTERDAY 8/28/19. BOTH TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE SITTING IN TRAFFIC THE CAR WOULD STOP AND THE PARKING BRAKE WILL ENGAGE AND AFTER FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DASH THE BRAKE WILL NOT CUT OFF. BOTH TIMES I HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO TURN IT COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST OCTOBER 12TH, THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER PER YOUR SITE SINCE OCTOBER 19TH OF LAST YEAR. IT STATES CHRYSLER WAS SUPPOSED TO REACH OUT TO PURCHASERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND NOW ALMOST A YEAR LATER I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I RISK MY LIFE EVERYDAY I STEP FOOT IN THIS CAR.
Electrical system, Engine, Aug 27, 2019
THE ENGINE WOULD COMPLETE SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND REQUIRE ME TO FULLY REMOVE THE KEY AND RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WITH IT.
Electrical system, Engine, Aug 26, 2019
TAKATA RECALL THIS MORNING 8/26/19 WE WERE DRIVING UP A HILL AT A LIGHT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. WE ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, BUT THE ONLY THING WORKING WERE THE BRAKES. REALIZING IT HAD STALLED,WE ATTEMPTED REPEATEDLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINS AND WERE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT FLASHED WAS THE BATTERY LIGHT. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND WANTS $80 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. TOOK IT ELSEWHERE AND NO CODES CAME BACK. PROBLEM STILL REMAINS AN ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO EPISODES OF SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING AND NEARLY WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN IN TO TRAFFIC.I COULD NOT FIND THE REPAIR BILL FOR THE FIRST EPISODE. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED ONCE. THE OTHER TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED. ENGINE IDLES ROUGH, LURCHES FORWARD WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND OCCASIONALLY HAS LOUD ENGINE NOISE WHEN IDLING. WHEN ACCLERATING IN THIS VEHICLE IT RATTLES. VEHICLE SPEEDS UP WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN ENGINE HAS A HIGH REVING SOUND TO THE POINT IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS IN NEUTRAL OR IS GOING TO EXPLODE. ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE STOP START LIGHT COMING ON AS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT. *DT

"TAKATA RECALL" MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE (LATITUDE PLUS, FWD) ALWAYS HAVING ISSUES. VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, HAVING TO DRIVE ACROSS AMTRAK TRACKS TO GET TO WORK IS JUST NOT SAFE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BATTERY LIGHT TURNS ON, NOT TO MENTION THE ROTARIES SOUND OF A CRUNCH WHEN DRIVING. HOW MANY OIL CHANGES DO THIS CAR REALLY NEED IN 2 MONTHS, DRIVING 5 MILES TIMES 5 DAY TO AND FROM WORK? I ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST 2,000 MILES LEFT BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE STALLS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, THE BATTERY LIGHT DISPLAYS, AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED, PUT IN PARK, AND RESTARTED.

IN THE WAIT TIME, WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO CHECK AND PURCHASE OIL FOR THE JEEP EVERY 2-3 WEEKS OR AS NEEDED.*JB

THE VEHICLE DECIDES TO REVERSE IN PARK AND IN DRIVE WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. THE SHIFTING IS HARD CALIBRATION AND CHUGS. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND COMPLETELY TURNED ITSELF INDEFINITELY OFF. WHILE DRIVING INTO THE PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUSLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY DECIDED TO REVERSE IN PARK. THE SAME HAS HAPPENED IN DRIVE. THE AUTO ENGINE SHUT OFF DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AS THE COMPUTER GETS CONFUSED AS TO WHICH GEAR IT IS IN WHEN IT STARTS UP. THE RADIO LIKES TO TURN ITSELF ONCE IN A WHILE SO I'D SAY THATS MECHANICAL ALTHOUGH THE LEAST OF MY WORRIES. I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED PARKING IN MY FRONT YARD .. THE "D" STARTS BLINKING IN DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE STARTS INDEFINITE REVERSING...... THIS SUV ALSO HAS BAD FUEL EFFICIENCY GETTING 12 MILE PER GALLON ON FREEWAY AND ROAD. NOT SAFE.

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.

MY VEHICLE STALLS UPON ACCELERATION Z I'VE BEEN TOLD IT WAS BAD GAS AS WELL AS NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *BF CONSUMER STATED MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS RIGHT AT 15,000. I FIRST NOTICED THE STALL ISSUE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2018. I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A RECALL THAT COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. IT REQUIRED REPROGRAMMING AND THAT WAS DONE IN OCTOBER. I HAVE NOTICED THE STALLING AT VARIOUS TIMES SINCE THEN. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS IN APRIL AT JUST UNDER 10,000. I GO BY THE OIL LIFE INDICATOR ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND I HAD IT CHANGED WHEN I HAD ABOUT 15% LEFT ON MY OIL LIFE. THERE IS NOT CHIME OR WARNING THAT POPS UP WHEN THE STALL HAPPENS. I AM USUALLY ACCELERATING AFTER HAVING TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THE RPMS REDLINE, BUT THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE I AM PUSHING THE BRAKES. IT WILL THEN "KICK IN" AND ACCELERATE AT A HIGH SPEED EVEN IF I'M BARELY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL*JB

VEHICLE WITH 23 K MILES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AND COOLANT PROBLEMS, WITH NO INDICATOR WARNING OF LOW OIL OR COOLANT LEVEL. THIS VEHICLE COULD SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
