ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2020 AT APPROXIMATELY 1130 HOURS, MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS 4X4 WITH 30,000 MILES LOCKED UP AT A SPEED APPROXIMATELY 30 PLUS MPH, WHILE ENTERING AN INTERSTATE ON RAMP. A TRACTOR TRAILER TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES AN HOUR NARROWLY AVOIDED ME IN A NEAR HEAD ON / T-BONE ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLES ENGINE REVVED PRIOR TO MY TRANSMISSION MAKING TREMENDOUS NOISE AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE FELT AS IF I HAD JUST HIT A SOLID CONCRETE WALL. MY VEHICLE LOST ALL STEERING AND I HAD ZERO CONTROL OVER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING. MY DASH LIT UP WITH EVERY LIGHT AND MY PARKING BRAKE WAS ALSO ENGAGED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED A SECOND LATER, I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE! IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT DAMAGE THIS VEHICLE WOULD HAVE CAUSE PHYSICALLY TO ME OR ANY PASSENGER. LET ALONE WHO THIS VEHICLE WOULD HAVE HURT. ALL THESE ENGINES AND TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD BE RECALLED, THEY WILL KILL SOMEONE. THE TRANSMISSION WILL DAMAGE THE ENGINE AND VICE VERSA, SO RECALLING ONE AFTER IT DAMAGED THE OTHER, IS LIKE PUTTING A BAND AID ON A TURD! NORTHBOUND INTERSTATE 77 ON RAMP AT THE POCATALICO ENTRANCE (I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AND THIS IS MY FIRST VEHICLE PURCHASE). AGAIN, I WOULD ASK THE NHTSA TO RECALL ALL THE ENGINES AND TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE, THESE ARE LEMON'S WHICH WILL KILL, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. I HAVE SEEN THE JEEP LAWSUIT FOR THE 2014, 2015'S. PLEASE STOP THEM FROM SELLING THESE POWERTRAINS FOR THE 2019'S! OR AT LEAST MAKE JEEP RECALL THEM. THIS IS FRAUD. IF IT'S NOT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. SO I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT CAN KILL ME, YOU GUYS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN STOP THIS. THANKS 🙏

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD INTO A CERTAIN GEAR, 3RD TO BE EXACT. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT. THEN WHEN I HAVE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND ITS SET AT 70 GOING DOWN A HILL AND THE ENGINE REVS THE RPMS PAST 5 TO SLOW DOWN WHICH IT NEVER DOES UNTIL I USE MY BRAKES TO SHOW DOWN. THE CAR IS IN MOTION, BUT ON 9/5/2020 THE CLUNK SOUND DID IT 4 OR 5 TIMES THAT DAY AND I HAD THE AIR ON. STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT TO THE STORE TO GRAB THINGS, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. GET HOME ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY FROM THE STORE AND WENT TO PUT IN REVERSE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AND BACK INTO REVERSE THEN IN COULD MOVE THE VEHICLE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LESS THAN A YEAR INTO THE PURCHASE OF A BRAND NEW 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE, THE AUTO START-STOP FAILED COMPLETELY DURING DAILY RIDES (BEFORE THEN, IT USED TO WORK PERFECTLY -- AT THE RED LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE). TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WHERE I HAD BOUGHT MY CAR FROM, THEY TOLD ME THE FEATURE FUNCTIONS ON A SEPARATE BATTERY AND THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING CRAZY BUT MANUALLY (TEMPORARILY) RECHARGE WHATEVER BATTERY THEY WERE REFERRING TO. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO CLUELESSLY TOLD ME TO GIVE IT A FEW HOURS AFTER EACH RIDE UNTIL THE BATTERY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AUTO START-STOP FUNCTIONALITY RECHARGES ITSELF. ALTHOUGH I FOLLOWED THEIR INSTRUCTION, I GOT ZERO RESULT. TODAY AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS COMPLAINT, IT IS GETTING CLOSE TO TWO YEARS AFTER MY PURCHASE AND THERE OCCURS ANOTHER ANNOYING BUG: THE MAIN BATTERY KEEPS DYING ON ME EVERY TIME I WANT TO START THE CAR. ALSO, THE FRONT DISPLAY SHOWS AN "ENGINE TEMPERATURE HOT" MESSAGE AS THE BATTERY FAILS TO START THE CAR, ALTHOUGH I DO NOT BELIEVE THE MESSAGE IS RELEVANT SINCE MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN A FAIRLY COOL SPOT FOR AT LEAST 10 HOURS - NO REASON FOR ANY PARTS OF IT TO GET HOT WHILE THE ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN.

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND THE AUTO ENGINE ON/OFF FEATURE ACTIVATED. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE BUT AS SOON AS I APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR THE DISPLAYS, DASH LIGHTS, AND HEADLIGHTS ALL TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE ALSO TURNED OFF. THE ELECTRONICS STAYED OFF FOR SEVERAL MORE SECONDS BEFORE COMING BACK ON BUT I COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE FOR NEARLY A MINUTE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON I HAD PUT IT IN PARK, HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND HAD HELD THE PUSH TO START BUTTON IN ALL THREE POSITIONS. THE ENGINE DID NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER AT ANY TIME. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND CONTINUE TO MY HOME. ONCE I ARRIVED, I CYCLED THROUGH THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SCREENS. THE BATTERY READ AN OUTPUT OF 13.6 VOLTS. THE VEHICLE ACTED NORMALLY AFTERWARDS AND NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AFTER OR WERE ON BEFORE.
