CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING. HAS OCCURRED WELL OVER A DOZEN TIMES. WHILE DRIVING, THERE IS SUDDENLY NO POWER IN THE ENGINE. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THIS IS DUE TO LOW OIL LEVELS. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK OIL AT EVERY FILL UP, SOMETHING I HAVE NOT HAD TO DO SINCE 1979. AT EVERY OIL CHANGE (NOT AT DEALERSHIP), I AM TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE BURNS OIL. AS STATED IN A RECALL PREVIOUSLY:'AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING). THE DANGER ALSO LIES IN THE REPLACEMENT OF OIL WHILE CAR IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD. WE NEED A NEW ENGINE.

SINCE I BOUGHT OUR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE NEW, THE HOOD HAS HAD A BAD FLUTTER. IT FLUTTERS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT SETS OFF THE AUTO STOP/START LIGHT. HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER AT LEAST 6 TIMES AND NO RESOLUTION. IT FLUTTERS SO BAD THAT IT SEEMS THE HOOD IS ACTUALLY GOING TO FLY OPEN. IT REALLY GETS BAD WHEN YOU PASS ANOTHER VEHICHLE.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS IN MAY 2019. 6 MONTHS LATER THE STOP/GO FUNCTION STALLED AND THE CAR TURNED OFF DURING A TURN AT THE LIGHT. I ALMOST GOTTEN REAR ENDED WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK TO GET IT TO TURN ON AGAIN, MIND YOU I AM STILL IN THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR TURNED ON BUT CONTINUALLY DID THAT AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. THE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, I DO NOT KNOW HOW IT HAS 4 OUT OF 5 STARS. THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME STARTING. I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO TURN IT ON. UNTIL RECENTLY, IT JUST WON'T TURN ON ANY LONGER. BATTERY IS FINE. THE STARTER IS NOT DOING ITS JOB. I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED. DON'T KNOW IF IT CAN GET FIXED. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLE AND SEEMS AS THOUGH THEIR CAR IS ALWAYS IN TROUBLE.

FOR THE PAST 4 DAYS, MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAPPENS EACH TIME WHILE DECELERATING, BUT STILL IN MOTION.

Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Engine, Mar 17, 2021
MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH THE 2.4L HAS REPEATEDLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING SINCE PURCHASING 4 MONTHS AGO. UPON DOING RESEARCH, I SEE THERE'S BEEN MANY RECALLS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND YEAR AS MINE, HOWEVER MINE IS NOT COVERED. CONSIDERING MY VEHICLE IS ALSO STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND DECELERATING, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT TO BROADEN THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MORE VINS. ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING WHEN SLOWING DOWN BUT STILL IN MOTION. IT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING FOR THE PAST WEEK WHEN DECELERATING.

I DRIVE A 2019 JEEP GRAND CHAROKEE LATITUDE. I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT LAST MONTH AT A MAJOR INTERSETION AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REARENDED ME WITH MY NEW BORN. OMG THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IF IT JUST SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON. LATER THIS MONTH THE FRONT SUSPENSION STARTED MAKING ALOT OF NOISE. THE CAR HAS 43000 MILES. OBSERVED THE PASSANGER SIDE STRUT MOUNT CLIP THAT KEEP THE STRUT FROM SEPERATING FROM WHEEL WHEEL LOOSE. STRUT FAILED AND CAUSED ISSUES WITH DRIVE TRAIN. CAR IS ON BLOCKS IN MY GARAGE KNOW AWAITING STRUTS AND STRUT MOUNTS. THE JEEP USED A VERY SMALL PLASTIC CLIP TO SECURE THE TOP PART OF THE STRUT, SO IN MY CASE WHEN THE STRUT FAILED, THE CLIP CAME LOOSE AND ALMOST SEPERATED LEAVEING THE TOP OF STRUT UN-ATTACHED TO ANYTHING OMG! THIS A HUG SAFTY ISSUE. WHY HAS NHTSA NOT INVESTIGATED THIS POOR DESIGN. A PLACSTIC CLIP TO HOLD A STRUT THAT IS SUPPORTING THE FRONT END OF A VEHICLE!!.

THIS VEHICLE STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC AND STUTTERS WHEN STARTED. EVEN WHEN THE AUTOSTART BUTTON IS "ON" THE CAR HESITATES AND STALLS FROM STOP TO GO. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT FROM AN INTERSECTION FROM A STOP. THE SUV SMELLS OF BURNING OILS ALL THE TIME. I SET A SERVICE APPT WITH THE DEALER TO ASSESS THE STALLING PROBLEM AND BURNING OIL SMELL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE STALLING WAS FROM THE "ENGINE PERFORMANCE" AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. AS FAR AS THE BURNING OIL SMELL, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE BURNS THROUGH 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1,000 MILES AND I WILL NEED TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE OIL. THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, IT IS THE WAY IT IS MADE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! JEEP HAS NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK RANDOMLY SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL. NOT SPECIFIC TO SPEED, CLIMATE OR TERRAIN. COMMONLY OCCURS DURING REDUCING AND ACCELERATION SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING THE RPM WILL RISE SIGNIFICANTLY RESULTING IN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO ENGAGE AND A P061B TROUBLE CODE. CONTINUED ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE RESULTS IN CONSISTENT ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (DUE TO THE P061B). AIR FILTER IS CLEAN WITH NO ADDITIONAL OBSTRUCTIONS. WHEEL/TIRE SIZE ARE AT FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AND ARE ORIGINAL TO THE VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION REGAINS TRACTION WHEN VEHICLE COASTS TO 10 - 15 MPH. WITH THE "TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE" THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. AGAIN THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING, SOUNDS, OR PHYSICAL JOLT OR ABNORMAL MOVEMENT WHILE DRIVING.

OUR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS JUST OVER 12K MILES. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (DASHBOARD, RADIO SCREEN DISPLAY, AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS) GO BLACK OR DARK GREY, AND WE HAVE NOTHING DISPLAYED - SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, CLIMATE CONTROLS, MESSAGES, OR ANY OTHER SAFETY INFORMATION. WE ARE JUST DRIVING ALONG, AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER JUST QUITS WORKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW. THREE TIMES THE DISPLAY CAME BACK ON AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, ONCE AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND RESTARTING, WHILE ONE OTHER TIME IT DID NOT WORK AGAIN UNTIL WE STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE WE ARE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY VITAL INFORMATION. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR JEEP TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS WHO DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES DISPLAYED. THEY STATED WE WOULD NEED THE JEEP AT THEIR DEALERSHIP INDEFINITELY AND THEY WOULD NEED TO DRIVE IT EVERY DAY UNTIL IT HAPPENED WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE EVEN POINTED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIPS THAT THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON 2019 JEEP CHEROKEES FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILING, BUT THEY SAID OURS WAS NOT ONE OF THE JEEPS IN THE RECALL. IF YOU GOOGLE "2019 JEEP CHEROKEE DASHBOARD DISPLAY PROBLEMS" OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, YOU WILL FIND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
