I LEANED MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2018. A WEEK AFTER LEASING IT I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP SIGN AND IT BEEPED AT ME AND ALL THE POWER SHUT OFF IN THE JEEP. I TRIED TO HIT THE START BUTTON NOTHING. I PUT IT IN PARK AFTER FIGHTING WITH IT TO GO INTO PARK AND TRIED THE START BUTTON AGAIN. NOTHING. SO I WAITED 2 MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN IT TURNED BACK ON AND WAS FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE. JANUARY 24 2019 I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE AT WORK AND AFTER 4 MINUTES OF IT BEING ON IT SHUT OFF MID DRIVING. SAME THING HAPPENED IT BEEPED AND ALL POWER SHUT OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK AND HIT THE START BUTTON. NOTHING. WAITING 2 MINUTES TRIED AGAIN TURNED ON MADE IT ALL THE WAY HOME. ALSO WHEN I TURN EITHER WAY IT BEEPS AS OF A DOOR IS OPEN. NO DOOR IS OPEN CHECK REPEATEDLY. WHEN I GO OVER A SPEED BUMP IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GRINDING IN THE BACK END I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND START AGAIN AFTER THE BUMP OR THE JEEP WILL NOT MOVE. THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY MAKE A VERY LOUD STATIC NOISE THAT IS EAR PIERCING FOR A SECOND THE IT WILL BE FINE OR IT WILL RESTART THE RADIO IT'S DIFFERENT EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS.

1/23/19 8:10 AM FRONT GLASS PANEL OF PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS NO ROCK OR OBJECT THAT HIT MY VEHICLE, JUST AN EXPLOSION TYPE NOISE. I PULLED OFF THE FREE AND FOUND NO OBJECTS IN THE SUNROOF WELL. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER WHO FELT ANROCK CAUSED THIS AND COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT HELP ME AND SAID HE'D NEVER HEARD OF THAT. THEY DID NOT EVEN LOG MY VISIT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO SAID THEY WILL DO ANYTHING SINCE THE SERVICE TECH AT DEALER LOOKED AT AND SAW NO DEFECT TO THE FRAME. FORTUNATELY, I HAD MY INTERIOR PORTION OF THE SUNROOF CLOSED AND MAINTAINED CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ROAD DEBRI OR OTHER PRIOR INCIDENT AND JUST EXPLODED. I AM REPORTING THIS AS OTHERS MAY BE REFUSED BY THE DEALER AS I WAS AND IT NOT BE INVESTIGATED OR IGNORED.

WHEN A PHONE CALL COMES IN, THE RING VOLUME IS EXTREMELY HIGH. IT IS HEART STOPPING, IT MAKES YOU JUMP, YOU ARE DISTRACTED IN TRAFFIC TRYING TO QUICKLY TURN IT DOWN BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK TO ANSWER IT. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS ON-LINE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY JEEPCARE THAT THE CAR IS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" AND THEY CAN'T ADJUST THE DEFAULT VOLUME DOWN FROM THE VOLUME LEVEL OF 15. IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE HUGE DISTRACTION IT CAUSES ON THAT FIRST RING WHEN DRIVING. JEEP DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE AT ALL.

1. ON 3 OCCASIONS (MOST RECENTLY 12-2-18) DURING BRAKING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGES ITSELF AND THE ENGINE CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGES THE STARTER. UNABLE TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK TURN OFF THE STARTER AND AFTER ABOUT 30-60 SECONDS ABLE TO PUT INTO PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. ON 12-2-18 I WAS SLOWING FOR A STOP LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO PUT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON WHEN I COULDN'T GET THE STARTER TO DISENGAGE AND PUT INTO PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE MUST BE PULLED UP. 2. THE BRAKES OFTEN SOUND LIKE THEY ARE RUBBING (NEEDING BRAKE PADS). 3. THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY CHANGE FROM FM TO SIRIUS AND UNABLE TO TURN OFF/ON OR RETURN TO THE RADIO MENU. 4. THE RADIO VOLUME MOST OF TIME MUST BE AT 15 OR HIGHER TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO AND WILL RANDOMLY JUMP TO FULL VOLUME WHILE DRIVING. 5. THE ANDROID AUTO THAT I USE FOR NAVIGATION AND TELEPHONE WILL RANDOMLY SCROLL THROUGH THE TELEPHONE CONTACTS AND BEGIN CALLING. I HAVE TO UNPLUG THE PHONE TO STOP THIS.

RADIO CONTINUES TO GO IN AND OUT AFTER 4 TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED, BUT IT WILL BE IMMEDIATE WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR ON IF THE RADIO WILL WORK OR NOT. MY CAR HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH NEW PROGRAMS, NEW RADIO SYSTEM PUT IN, AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. THE DEALERSHIP AT OLIVER C. JOSEPH IN BELLEVILLE, IL STATED THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR BACK IN FOR THE FIFTH TIME DUE TO THE RADIO ISSUE NOT BEING FIXED. ALSO, IF THE RADIO STARTS OUT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN THE CAR IS INITIALLY STARTED IT WILL NOT HAPPEN SUDDENLY. EITHER IT WORKS OR DOESN'T WORK WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY SYSTEMS INTEGRATED INTO AND CONTROLLED BY A SINGLE COMPUTER. AFTER ONLY THREE WEEKS (LESS THAN 600 MILES) THE RADIO WOULD NOT TUNE CORRECTLY AND WOULD SOMETIMES TURN OFF THE HEATER WHEN CHANGING A STATION. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THE COMPUTER CONTROLLED TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE NOTICEABLE NOISES AND VIBRATIONS DURING SHIFTS, STARTING AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING ON A MODERATE SPEED HIGHWAY . I BELIEVE THAT THE COMPUTER IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED AND MAY CAUSE UNANTICIPATED PERFORMANCE ANOMALIES WHICH COULD PROVIDE CHALLENGES FOR WHICH THE DRIVER IS UNPREPARED. IT APPEARS THAT FAR TOO MUCH COMPUTER CONTROL HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED ON THIS CAR AND THE TECHNOLOGY IS NEITHER PROVEN NOR RELIABLE.

MY CAR SHUT DOWN TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THERE WAS PLENTY OF GAS AND NO REASON FOR IT TO SHUT DOWN. ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED AND THEN THERE WAS NO ABILITY TO STEER OR CONTROL THE CAR. I HAD BREAK, SWITCH THE GEARS FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS SLOWED OR ELSE MY CHILD AND I WOULD'VE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL WAS LOW AND IT COULD BE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THAT COULD HAVE LEAD TO THE STALLING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS INVOLVED.

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS. THE RADIO FADES IN AND OUT MOST OF THE TIME. AFTER INITIAL STARTUP IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY. IF IT DOES NOT WORK (FADES IN AND OUT) THEN IT WILL NOT CORRECT ITSELF. THE ONLY WAY TO POSSIBLY GET THE RADIO TO WORK PROPERLY WOULD BE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THEN IT MAY OR MAY NOT CORRECT ITSELF. THIS HAPPENS ON THE AM/FM STATIONS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE USING SIRRUS RADIO. THIS OCCURS ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME ON STARTUP. 25% OF THE TIME IT WORKS PROPERLY. WHEN IT IS NOT WORKING, THERE IS ONLY ONE OR TWO STATIONS THAT WILL BE ABLE TO BE TUNED IF USING THE AUTO TUNING BUTTON. IT WILL TUNE TO THE ONE STATION (HOWEVER, IT STILL FADES IN AND OUT). THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE RADIO TO NO AVAIL. THEY ARE TRYING THE ANTENNA HOWEVER THERE ARE SEVERAL OWNERS WHO REPORT THAT DOES NOT WORK EITHER. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A SAFETY CONCERN IT IS STILL A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY $33,000 VEHICLE. WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET THIS RECTIFIED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE DAY I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE.

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.

I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE THE DAY BEFORE. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE STALLED, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE THAT READ TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK THEN BACK INTO GEAR. TRIED THAT SEVERAL TIMES, IF I RELEASED THE BRAKE IT WOULD ROLL BACK. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK SHUT THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. ONCE I DID THAT THE VEHICLE RAN FINE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, NO CODE CAME UP. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. I DO ON OCCASION FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING OR FROM A STOPPED POSITION.

FIRST WE WEREN'T ABLE TO TAKE VEHICLE HOME THE DAY WE SIGNED THE FINANCE PAPERS, 8/19/18, DUE TO BATTERY BEING DEAD. WE THEN PICKED UP CAR ON 8/20/18. KEPT VEHICLE TILL AROUND THE 23RD. THE JEEP CHEROKEE TURNED OFF IN TRAFFIC AND WENT INTO BATTERY PROTECTION MODE. WE HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. WE WERE ALMOST REAR-ENDED. I THEN CALLED DEALERSHIP TO TALK TO SALESMAN AND HE WAS BUSY SO I ASKED FOR MANAGER WHO THEN TOLD ME THAT THE SALESMAN WOULD CALL ME BACK. WHEN I TOLD SALESMAN ABOUT THE INCIDENT I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE WITH START-STOP FUNCTION OFF AND TO WAIT TILL NEXT DAY TO SEE IF IT DID IT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START IN THE MORNING AND THEN TRIED SECOND TIME AND IT TURNED ON IN BATTERY PROTECTION MODE SO I TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS GIVEN A LOANER. WE THEN PICKED UP CHEROKEE ON OR AROUND 8/31/18. WE WERE TOLD THE BATTERY WAS RECHARGED. THE CHEROKEE THEN STARTED TO TURN OFF AGAIN IN TRAFFIC SO I TOOK IT BACK ON 9/5/18. I WAS GIVEN ANOTHER LOANER. I WAS THEN TOLD TO PICK UP CHEROKEE ON 9/18/18. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND COULDN'T RECREATE THE INCIDENT. EVER SINCE WE RECEIVED THE CHEROKEE BACK ON THE 18TH WE KEEP THE START-STOP FUNCTION OFF. NOW THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS KEEP COMING ON AND OFF AND THE GAS IS GOING AT A FASTER RATE THEN BEFORE. NOT SURE IF SENSORS ARE WORKING CORRECTLY. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON SUNDAY 10/14/18 AND WAS TOLD TO CALL SERVICE THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE THEY HAD NO LOANERS. TODAY 10/21/18 VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING OUT OF PARKING SPACE. CAR RESTARTED BUT DO NOT TRUST DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY INSIDE.

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.

I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED, THEN WENT AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, IT HAD 3000 MILES ON IT, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OUT OF OIL. THEY PUT OIL IN IT AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH OIL IN IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DROVE IT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS.
