MY CAR CONTINUES TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY. I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 31-OCT-2019. LATER THAT DAY, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, MY CAR STALLED GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE 405 FREEWAY. I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHICH MAY HAVE SAVED MY LIFE SINCE OTHER VEHICLES WERE DRIVING SLOW AND AT TIMES STOPPED. THIS ALLOWED ME SOME TIME WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT RE-STARTED AND I MADE IT HOME.

MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WAS JUST EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND APPROACHED A LIGHT ON THE OFF RAMP. UPON STOPPING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE MY JEEP BEGAN BEEPING AND THE "DRIVE (D)" STARTED BLINKING ON THE DASH AND GEAR. DURING THIS TIME MY VEHICLE WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS TO THE OFF RAMP UNLESS THE EMERGENCY BREAK WAS ENGAGED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PRESS THE GAS, SHIFTING INTO OTHER GEARS DID NOT DO ANYTHING AND THE BREAKS WERE LOCKED OUT. I WAS SITTING IN THE BIKE LANE BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND HOPING TO NOT GET HIT. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWNHILL ABOUT 50FT AND STEER ONTO A SIDE STREET. ONCE THERE I AGAIN TRIED TO SHIFT TO DIFFERENT GEARS AND NOTHING SEEMED TO WORK. AS MENTIONED MY BREAKS WERE LOCKED AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS OUT OF SERVICE. FINALLY, AFTER EXITING THE MAJOR INTERSECTION I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO CLEAR THE ERROR. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS THOUGH. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED SECONDS BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATHS COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR, IN THE FAST LANE TRAVELING AT 70 MPHS, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT WAS LEFT COSTING AND SLOWING IN SPEED. NO STEERING OR BREAKING WERE EFFECTED. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE THE THE ENGINE DID RESTART WHILE IN LOW SPEED (30MPH) AND CREEPING ALONG THE BREAK DOWN LANE THE ENGINE WAS 3RPMS AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. NEEDING TOWING AND IS CURRENTLY IN FOR REPAIR. 1900 MILES TO THE VEHICLE.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH ABOUT 2000 MILES ON IT SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH TWICE NOW. AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND A FEW TRIES AT RESTARTING THE CAR RAN OK. THIS OCCURRED ON 10/17/18 AND 10/19/18 WITHIN A HALF MILE FROM HOME AFTER STARTING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING. WEATHER CONDITION WAS APPROXIMATELY 70 AND SUNNY AFTER OVERNIGHT TEMPS OF ONLY LOW 60'S. LOOKING ONLINE AT COMPLAINTS, THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH NO REAL REMEDY FROM DEALERSHIPS. I TOO HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND HOPE THEY FIND A ISSUE THAT CAN BE FIXED.
Engine, Oct 12, 2018
VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RE-START THE ENGINE. TWO TIMES WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WASN'T GOING FAST ENOUGH TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER, SO HAD TO START THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME STARTING ONCE STALLED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OIL WAS LOW, VEHICLE WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE YET. NO WARNINGS OR INDICATOR LIGHTS THAT OIL LEVEL WAS LOW. SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID TO CHECK OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. SAID THIS ENGINE USES A LOT OF OIL. I'M CONCERNED AT PULLING ONTO A BUSY ROAD OR INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVING VEHICLE DIE ON ME AND GETTING HIT.

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR HAD 972 MILES ON IT, AND WAS PURCHASED NEW A FEW WEEKS AGO. *DT CONSUMER STATED CAR IS NOT REPAIRED AND THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. UPDATED 11/30/18*JB
Engine, Oct 10, 2018
THE VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL. THERE ARE NO LEAKS ANYWHERE ON THE ENGINE COMPONENTS OR ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I HAVE ALWAYS CHECKED MY OIL FAITHFULLY ON ALL MY VEHICLES AS I GO OUT OF TOWN ONCE A MONTH. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE FLUID LEVELS. THE OIL LEVEL WAS HALF WAY BETWEEN THE HASH MARKS ON THE DIP STICK. WITHIN A MONTH AND A HALF I NOTICED A DECREASE IN THE OIL LEVEL. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 5 MONTHS AND THE OIL LEVEL IS BARELY ABOVE WHERE THE HASH MARKS START. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I REPORTED THIS WHEN THEY REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY DUE TO ANOTHER ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THE OIL IS WITHIN THE HASH MARKS AND IT IS FINE. IT IS NOT FINE WHEN A NEW VEHICLE IS BURNING THIS MUCH OIL. I HAVE READ REPORTS OF THE VEHICLE STALLING BEING LOW ON OIL. I CANNOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO ME GOING OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED AGAIN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT DOCUMENT ANYTHING WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME. *DT UPDATED 12/11/18*JB

DRIVING UP A HILL TO A STOP SIGN AND ONCE I REACHED THE TOP OF THE HILL AT THE STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. NO OTHER LIGHTS. WAS ABLE TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE RAN ROUGH RIGHT AFTER THIS HAPPENED. I WAS ONLY A COUPLE BLOCKS FROM MY HOME SO PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. LET IT SIT A COUPLE MINUTES. RESTARTED IT AND DROVE IT A FEW BLOCKS. EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. CALLED DEALER AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. SETUP A TIME TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY DUE TO SHIFTING ISSUES THEY DIAGNOSED ON A PRIOR APPOINTMENT. WHEN I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK AFTER THEY LOOKED AT IT AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY, THEY INDICATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UPSETTING BECAUSE I SEE THERE WAS RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE OF STALLING OUT. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE PRODUCTION START AND ENDING DATE TIMEFRAME? SEEMS TO ME JEEP IS JUST TRYING TO SAVE MONEY AND GETTING AWAY WITH NOT REPAIR ADDITIONAL VEHICLES THAT ARE UNSAFE. THIS IS JUST WRONG.

THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. THE ENGINE WILL ATOP COMPLETELY AND THE CAR ROLLS BACK OR BEGINS TO DRIVE BACKWARDS WHEN IT'S RESTARTED. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 4 TIMES NOW DUE TO THE CAR STALKING IN ATOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND ANOTHER TIME WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO, THE CAR APPEARS TO CHUG OR HESITATE TO CHANGE GEARS. IT'S IS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED AND AT TIMES, IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE RADIO FLUCTUATES IN VOLUME LEVEL CONSTANTLY REGARDLESS OF THE PROGRAMMING AND IT'S SO BAD THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN USE IT. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY CHILDREN AND OTHERS AS WELL. CHRYSLER APPEARS TO HAVE NO CONCERNS. UNLESS SOMEONE DIES, I'M AFRAID THIS ISSUE WILL NOT BE RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS MERGING INTO THE TURNING LANE IN BUSY TRAFFIC. AS I WAS APPLYING BRAKES AND COMING TO A LOW SPEED THE VOLTAGE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE JEEP COMPLETELY STALLED AND LOST ALL DRIVABILITY. NO OTHER LIGHTS OR ANYTHING WAS IN THE DASH JUST THE VOLTAGE. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND MANAGED TO GET IT BACK STARTED BEFORE GETTING HIT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION.

I WAS AT A STOP WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, WHEN I SAW AN OPENING TO TURN I ACCELERATED, TURNED THE WHEEL AND HAD JUST BARELY CLEARED THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND MY ENGINE CUT ENTIRELY. I COASTED THROUGH THE REST OF THE TURN WITH NO POWER JUST BARELY AVOIDING BEING HIT. I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW MY BATTERY LIGHT FLASHING AND MY INFO CENTER DISPLAYING THE MESSAGE YOU SEE WHEN YOU FIRST ENTER YOUR CAR "TO START ENGINE PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND PRESS START BUTTON" (OR SOME VARIATION OF THIS PHRASE, I CAN'T QUOTE IT VERBATIM). IT HAD STALLED. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY IMMEDIATELY SENT SOMEONE TO PICK IT UP. I HAVE OWNED MY BRAND NEW CAR FOR 11 DAYS AND HAVE ONLY 700 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, CANNOT RECREATE THE SITUATION AND THERE IS NO APPARENT RECALL ON MY CAR'S YEAR. THERE IS, HOWEVER; A RECALL ON THE MODEL. FCA'S ADVANCED COMMUNICATION FOR RECALL U87 ON 8/16/18 DOES LIST MY MODEL YEAR AND THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION FOR NHTSA'S 18V-524 DOES AS WELL. THE ACTUAL RECALL DOES NOT. I'M CONCERNED AS THIS RECALL DOCUMENTS AN ISSUE WITH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) THAT "MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH A SUSPECT VOLTAGE REGULATOR CHIP ON THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD. IF THE PCM FAILS, THE CUSTOMER MAY EXPERIENCE A NO-START, A START-AND-IMMEDIATE STALL CONDITION, OR AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING". THAT IS AN EXACT QUOTE FROM THE FCA COMMUNICATION ON 8/16/18 WHICH LISTS MY MODEL & YEAR. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO ADDRESS THIS THOUGH AS THE RECALL DOES NOT. ITS CLEAR TO ME THIS IS THE ISSUE BUT THIS SMALL EXCLUSION OF MY MODEL YEAR LEAVES MY DEALERSHIP WITH THEIR HANDS TIED AND ME WITH A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR.

MY NEW CAR HAS 2,800 MILES DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 5 MONTHS/5,000 MILES. THE ENGINE FAILED ONCE FOR NO KNOWN CAUSE AFTER 2 WEEKS IN THE REPAIR SHOP. NOW MY CAR DIED WHILE IN MOTION ON BUSY ROADS AND A HIGHWAY RAMP AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 15-40 MPH WITHOUT WARNING OR LIGHTS. THIS IS SLA SAFETY HAZARD AS THE STEERING GOES AND CAR JUST COMES TO A STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAD IT TOWED AFTER IT'S 5TH TIME IN 4 DAYS STOPPING WHILE IN MOTION AND SHUTTING DOWN. JEEP TOLD ME IT'S EMPTY ON OIL BUT YET THE OIL LIGHT INDICATOR DOESN'T COME ON. THEY SAID IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITHOUT A FIX FOR ALL 2014-2019 JEEP CHEROKEES. THEY ARE AWARE BUT ARE NOT FIXING OR ADDRESSING THE OIL CONSUMPTION WITHOUT LIGHT ISSUE THAT PUTS DRIVERS IN MOTION AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT OR LOSING THEIR LIFE. IF NO WARNING IS COMING ON THAT YOUR OIL IS EMPTY LONG BEFORE A DIE OIL CHANGE AND MY CAR CAN JUST DIE WHILE IN MOTION ALONG WITH OTHERS AS AGAIN THEY STATED IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE IS A ROAD HAZARD FOR ANYONE IN THESE CARS. MY CAR IS 3 MONTHS OLD AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT ON ANY ROADS FOR FEAR I WILL BE HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER AS IT'S JUST LOSING POWER AND SHUTTING DOWN IN THE STREET IN MOTION. JEEP CANNOT FIX THIS BUT KNOWS ABOUT IT.

THE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION WHEN SLOWING DOWN (LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR) THE CAR WAS IN A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL DAYS THIS MONTH, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH. A REVIEW OF INTERNET SITES REVEALS OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM JEEP.

I HAVE A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 2000 MILES ON IT. I AM LEASING IT BRAND NEW. I BOUGHT IT ON JULY 10. ON MONDAY, SEPT 10, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND GOING ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOURS, SUDDENLY THE CAR WENT FROM 45 MPH TO 0 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, I LOSE CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND IT STALLED...IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET. IT W AS FRIGHTENING. I PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF, TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN, TURNED IT OFF AGAIN, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED UP CALLED THE HUSBAND TO SEE IF I SHOULD TRY TO HEAD HOME IN IT OR CALL UBER. WE DECIDED I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HOME TO TRY AGAIN. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN MID DRIVE. I HAD A CAR GOING ABOUT 45 BEHIND ME SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE TO AVOID SMASHING INTO ME. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEE IT HAPPENED ON THEIR SYSTEM AND CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I AM AFRAID SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. I ALSO SEE THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WHEN I SEARCH 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE ENGINE STALL IN MOTION. SO, I HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND DRIVE IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. I WAS LUCKY IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE SINCE READ THAT OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE DRIVERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE, SOME 3 INCIDENTS. I DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS 3 TIMES. YESTERDAY I TRADED CARS, BOUGHT A DIFFERENT ONE. I'M 77 YEARS OLD AND I'M TOO SCARED TO TAKE A CHANCE ON A CAR THAT DOES THAT.
