CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING
Electrical system, Apr 15, 2019
RADIO VOLUME CONTROL ISSUES. VOLUME FADES IN AND OUT SPORADICALLY. HAPPENS ANYTIME. THIS MAKES RADIO UN-USABLE.
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Apr 13, 2019
AS I AM DRIVING THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR STARTS TO STALL AND I AM PROMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AS THE D IS BLINKING AS IS THE BATTERY LIGHT. I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND IT TAKES A MINUTE TO TURN ON THEN IT GOES. MY BATTERY IS AT ITS HALFWAY MARK PER THE VEHICLE INFO ON THE CAR. THEN WHEN I TURN CORNERS MY CAR BEEPS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WORD APPEARS ABOVE THE SPEED.
Power train, Apr 12, 2019
I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE AND HAD TO YIELD. I NEVER CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT WAS TRAVELING AROUND 5MPH. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO CONTINUE ON THE CIRCLEAND MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ALMOST SIDE SWIPED DUE TO MY VEHICLE ENTERING THE CIRCLE AND NOT ACCELERATING FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN COMING TO A YIELD AREA. MY COUNTY HAS OVER 150 TRAFFIC CIRCLES WITH YIELD SIGNS. THIS WILL BE DANGEROUS WITH THIS HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. I AM MARKING THIS AS OCCURING 4/11/19 BECAUSE IT WAS VERY BAD THAT OCCASION. IT MADE ME THINK OF THE TIMES IT HASN'T BEEN AS NOTICEABLE IN THE PAST THOUGH.
Service brakes, Apr 7, 2019
ON MARCH 29, 2019 AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND WAS APPROACHING THIS INTERSECTION, THE LIGHT CHANGED TO YELLOW. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES SO THAT I COULD STOP FOR THE LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP FOR THE LIGHT WHICH TURNED RED FOR ME BY NOW AND I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 30 MILE AN HOUR. I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS POSITIONED ON THE FLOOR. AS I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO GO THROUGH THE RED LIGHT, I KEPT MY HAND ON THE HORN TO TRY AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THERE WERE CARS STARTING TO GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, THE CLOSEST CAR ALMOST HIT MY PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. BETWEEN THAT CAR STOPPING SHORT, AND ME STEERING AROUND THEM, SERIOUS INJURY AND OR DEATH WAS AVOIDED, AFTER I PAST THE INTERSECTION I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND EASED ON THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP MY BRAND-NEW 2019 JEEP, AND THEN PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. BY THIS POINT I WAS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL NERVOUS WRECK. HOW COULD MY BRAND NEW 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS THAT I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR THIRTEEN DAYS HAVE BRAKE FAILURE? I HAVE DRIVING FOR 45 YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I WAS A LITTLE OVER TWO MILES AWAY FROM WORK WITH NO TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. SO I STARTED THE CAR UP (STILL SHAKING LIKE A LEAF) WITH THE INTENTION OF DRIVING VERY SLOWLY AND USING THE PARKING BRAKE TO GET TO WORK. TO MY SURPRISE THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AND I MADE IT TO WORK STILL SHAKY AND SCARED TO BE IN THE CAR LET ALONE DRIVING IN IT. GOD WAS WITH ME THROUGH THIS TO BE ABLE TO AVOID ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE LED TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. ON MY DRIVE IN I HAVE SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS THAT ARE MAJOR HIGHWAYS THAT TRACTOR TRAILERS USE. I HAVE TO WORRY THAT WHAT IF THE BRAKES GO OUT AT ONE OF THESE INTERSECTIONS?
Electrical system, Apr 5, 2019
AM RADIO MUFFLES ON OCCASION. I HAVE THE ALPINE RADIO SYSTEM WITH SURROUND SOUND. IT ALSO HAS SIRIUS RADIO WHICH IS NOT BEING SUBSCRIBED TO. IT HAS BEEN NOTICEABLE WHEN CAR GOES UNDER AN OVERPASS BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED AT OTHER TIMES. SEEMINGLY WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS. HAVE NOT NOTICED THIS ON FM.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Engine, Apr 4, 2019
WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, DRIVING THROUGH CITY STREETS, AND I TRY TO APPLY THE BREAK IT ACCELERATES INSTEAD. THE RPM'S WILL REACH 4000 OR 5000 AND HOLD THERE. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSTLER TO APPLY THE GAS QUICKLY THEN BREAK WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO STOP MY VEHICLE. THIS IS UNSAFE AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE IN MY OWN CAR. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND AT TIMES, AND THE RADIO FADES IN AND OUT, WITH THAT FEATURE TURNED OFF, AS WELL AS SHUTTING COMPLETELY DOWN AND RESETTING ITSELF. PRIOR TO THE RECALL IN NOV OF 2018 THIS SAME VEHICLE FROM ONE WEEK OF PURCHASE WOULD STALL WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH CITY STREETS. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN AT A SPEED OF 35 OR LESS. THE CAR WENT FROM STALLING TO AFTER RECALL UPDATE IT IS NOW ACCELERATING WHEN TRYING TO STOP. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE AND CHRYSTLER EITHER SO THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN CAR. I AM WORRIED THERE WILL BE A TIME I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

MARCH 2019 I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN GOING ABOUT 4-6 MPH ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN MY VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE I WAS TURNING ONTO. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS TURNED ON. I PLACED THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN PARK , RESTARTED THE VEHICLE , PLACED IT IN GEAR AND HURRIED TO GET OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAVEL. I THEN NOTICED A WARNING LIGHT , IT'S THE AUTO STOP START SYMBOL WITH A CIRCLE AROUND THE A WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT NEAR TO THE MILEAGE AREA. THANKFULLY I TOOK A PICTURE OF THIS ERROR. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NAPLETON AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE A BATTERY ISSUE OR THE OIL IN THE VEHICLE WAS LOW. THE BEST THING ABOUT THE ERROR SIGN IS, THAT IT CLEARS AFTER YOU SHUT YOUR VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT. EVEN AFTER SHOWING THE PICTURE OF THE ERROR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. STATED THE VEHICLES SYSTEM IS NOT SHOWING ANY ERROR CODES WHEN THEY PLUG IN THEIR CODE BOX. IT'S BEEN ALREADY 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE TURNING OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD. I GUESS CHRYSLER WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE THEY ARE HAVING WITH THESE VEHICLE UNTIL SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE AND THEY GET SUED FOR DAMAGES. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH A STALLING PROBLEMS A NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES.
Engine, Apr 1, 2019
ISSUE STARTED AT 3,500 MILES. WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN A CHIME WOULD GO OFF AND THE BATTERY OR ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE D FOR DRIVE WOULD FLASH ON THE CONSOLE, AND VEHICLE WAS BASICALLY STALLED. TRYING TO ACCELERATE DID NOTHING. HAD TO TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS LOW ON OIL AND CAR WENT INTO SELF-PRESERVATION MODE. HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I HIT 7,500 MILES. DEALER KEPT ADDING OIL EACH TIME. WAS TOLD THIS ENGINE HAD A HARDER THAN NORMAL BREAK IN PERIOD UP TO 7,500 MILES. WAS TOLD TO COME BACK FOR OIL CHANGE IN ANOTHER 5,000 MILES. OIL WAS CHECKED AT 1,000 AND 2,000 MILES AND WAS NOT LOW. AT 4,100 MILES THE ISSUE STARTED AGAIN AND HAPPENED THREE TIMES DRIVING TO WORK AND THEN ONCE GOING TO THE DEALER. THE JEEP IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP.

FOR THE THIRD TIME, THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT STARTS COASTING AND THE MOTOR RUNS BUT DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, WE WERE ON A CURVING MOUNTAIN ROAD AND ALMOST GOT RUN OVER BY AN 18 WHEELER. THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX. THIS HAS TO STOP, BRAND NEW CAR STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EACH TIME WE WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MULTIPLE LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD, SEE ATTACHED PHOTO.

CAR RADIO/COMPUTER TURNS OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING, WON'T RECONNECT TO CARPLAY (WHICH HAS NAVIGATION) UNTIL YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AND RESTART THE ENGINE, CAR DOES NOT REGISTER FOB ACTION (UNLOCK, RESTART, OPEN TAILGATE, ALARM) AND THE BATTERIES WERE GOOD AND THE CAR DIDN'T GIVE ALERT THAT NO FOB WAS DETECTED. ONCE I FINALLY GOT IN THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START.

UCONNECT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING. WHILE DRIVING IT AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH THE CONTROLS BETWEEN RADIO TO CAR PLAY TO A/C HIGH FAN SPEED AND CHANGE HEATING SETTINGS - IT REPEATS IT OVER AND OVER ENABLING RANDOM FUNCTIONS WITHOUT ALLOWING US TO CONTROL IT. FINALLY NEED TO SWITCH OFF ENTIRE SYSTEM ELSE WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY. *DT*JB

IT HAS BEEN IN 6-8 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. DEALER INSTALLED A DATA RECORDER AND IT DID NOT RECORD AN EVENT TWICE. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIWAY, THE STREET AND IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE WHEN GOING INTO DRIVEWAY;

THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE UCONNECT SCREEN FADES IN AND OUT TO TOTAL BLACKNESS. YOU CANNOT READ ANYTHING. THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE ANY OF THE SETTINGS. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF, START IT AGAIN TO GET THE SCREEN TO COME ON. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND HAVE TO GUESS WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE SCREEN. THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK RIGHT. I START THE CAR AND IT EITHER COMES ON FULL BLAST VOLUME, AND THEN FADES OUT TO NO SOUND, OR IT JUST HAS NO SOUND AT ALL. I FOLLOWED THE OWNER'S MANUAL TO RESET THE UCONNECT SYSTEM USING THE UCONNECT MENU RESET BUTTON. THAT DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I CANNOT TRUST THE CAR OR THE SCREEN IN THE UCONNECT SYSTEM. THE SECOND ISSUE AND IT IS A BIG ONE! THE CAR STALLS WHEN YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR! I TRIED TO PASS A CAR, AND STEPPED DOWN TO ACCELERATE AND THE JEEP STALLED! I ALMOST WRECKED! WHEN YOU STEP DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. I AM NOT A MECHANIC, SO I DO NOT KNOW IF ALL OF THIS IS ELECTRICAL, OR ENGINE RELATED. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM.

THE CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD WITH NO WARNING. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN GOING UP A SLIGHT HILL AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. DEALER SAYS IT IS LOW ON OIL PRESSURE(THE CAR IS 5 MONTHS OLD AND THEY SAY IT WAS 2.5 QUARTS LOW ON OIL!!) AND A SAFETY SWITCH SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD/TRAFFIC!! I CALL THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" TO PROTECT THE ENGINE A"DANGER SWITCH" THAT ENDANGERS TRAFFIC.

WHILE I AM IN MOVEMENT DRIVING MY VEHICLE. WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS POPPING UP IN MY DASHBOARD. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPS. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND A SEMI TRUCK WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME. I HIT MY BRAKES FAST ENOUGH SO THAT THE SEMI TRUCK COULD REACT IN TIME, BUT OTHERWISE I COULD IT HAVE GOTTEN IMPACTED FROM THE BACK WHICH I AM SURE. IT WOULD IT HAVE CAUSE MORE THAN JUST AND ACCIDENT. THE DATE THIS HAPPENED I NOTICED THE CAR KIND OF SLOWED DOWN ITS VELOCITY FAST AND DRAMATICALLY WHEN IT STOP. IT WAS STILL RUNNING, NO SMOKE OR ANYTHING COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I DID NOTICED THAT THE HEATER FELT EXTREMELY HOT MORE THAN NORMAL WHICH IT ALSO MADE ME PANIC A BIT. SHE SHIFT GEAR I WASN'T ABLE YO MOVE IT AT ALL. THEY HAD ADVISED ME AT THE DEALERSHIP ONE OF THE MECHANICS THAT SOMETIMES, IF THIS HAPPENED; TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR 10 MINS AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. I DID THAT, THAT NIGHT AND WHEN THE CAR TURN BACK OF THE STABILITY LIGH WARNING CAME ON, THE BRAKES LIGHT CAME ON, THE ENGINE LIGH CAME ON, THE EMERGENCY PARKING LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THIS THIS I WAS WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFT STICK BUT I COULD ONLY DRIVE FORWARD. I TRIED TO REVERSE AND GO BACK BUT IT WASN'T LETTING ME. MY SENSORS WERE BEEPING AS IF I WAS NEAR OR CLOSE TO HITTING SOMETHING. WHEN MY CAR WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE HIGHWAY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I NOTICED WHILE SEATING IN MY CAR. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS TO MY SUV WHEN IT'S VERY COLD OUTSIDE. WE ARE TALKING -4 DEGREES, BUT I AM SURPRISED BECAUSE THIS IS A 2019 VEHICLE THAT I HAVE AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 5 MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE 4 TMES AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE ISSUE BUT NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THAT VEHICLE. A VEHICLE THAT STOPS OUT OF NOWHERE, DEFINITELY NOT SAFE. I AM NOT ONLY PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER, BUT I FEEL LIKE I AM PUTTING EVERYONE AROUND ME DRIVING IN DANGER.
