ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AS I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 3 DAYS, I CAN'T SAY WHAT IT 'USED TO' DRIVE LIKE. BUT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES FOR A MOMENT. SOMETIMES I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, OR CROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, I HAVEN'T BEEN IN ANY CLOSE CALLS YET, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY SEE HOW AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR, IF YOU PUSH ON THE GAS TO MAKE A TURN AND YOUR CAR ACCELERATES REALLY SLOWLY FOR THE FIRST 2 SECONDS. I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON 5/23/2019 MY WIFE WAS EXITING A PARKING LOT DRIVING FORWARD IN OUR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. SHE TURNED RIGHT INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN STEERED RIGHT TOWARD THE CENTER LANE. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND HER. SUDDENLY THE DASH LIT UP IN RED BRAKE, AND THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. SHE STOPPED MOMENTARILY, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. AT THIS POINT THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASED. SHE DROVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DOORS WERE NOT AJAR. SHE WAS NOT BACKING UP. OUR JEEP DOES NOT HAVE THE FORWARD SENSORS, JUST THE REAR SENSORS. WE DO HAVE THE PARKING BRAKE SET (U-CONNECT) TO AUTO ENGAGE WHEN SHIFTED INTO PARK. WE ARE CONCERNED THIS COULD HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. I'M BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER IN THE MORNING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
VISIBILITY DISTORTED IN RAINY CONDITIONS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND OR COATING ON GLASS. VISIBILITY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WHEN DRIVING GETS DISTORTED WITH MINIMAL RAINFALL CAUSING A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. USING NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS IS BETTER THAN HAVING THEM ON. ISSUE OCCURRED SINCE DATE OF DELIVERY (11/30/2018) AND BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE RECENTLY DUE TO WEATHER CHANGES. ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHEN IN MOTION OR STAND STILL ON ALL ROAD TYPES.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH TO YIELD FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE A DELAYED RESPONSE TO ANY ACCELERATION INPUT CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION (IE. IF TRYING TO TAKE OFF IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO SPACE BUT REALIZE THEY ARE TRAVELING MUCH FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY DUE TO CAR NOT RESPONDING TO PEDAL INPUT IMMEDIATELY).

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
AFTER AN INTERSECTION STOP AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE DURING A RIGHT TURN AND CAR IN MOTION, THE CAR ENGINE STALLED. THE DASHBOARD SHOWED 0 RPM AND JUST THE BATTERY INDICATOR ON. PARK OVER THE ROAD SHOULDERS, I COULD START THE ENGINE AGAIN AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AS OF NOW, 2 TIMES LAST WEEK (MAY 10 AND MAY 11 2019). WENT TO THE JEEP DEALER IN PINEVILLE, CHARLOTTE, NC. THEY SUPPOSE EXECUTED THE WORK ORDER FOR THE SAFETY RECALL U86 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 18V-523) ON MAY 11. BUT TODAY (MAY 13 2019) THE CAR DID EXACTLY THE SAME IN THE SAME INTERSECTION LIKE THE FIRST TIME. CAR HAS ONLY 4,250 MILES. CONSUMER STATED I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I SAW "OIL PRESSURE" ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD AND NOTICED ABNORMAL LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL, HAVING JUST 4,000 MILES. DURING THE RECALL SERVICE, THEY SUPPOSE CHECKED ALL LEVELS INCLUDING THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE: ENGINE OIL. SO, AFTER A OIL CHANGE AND OIL LEVEL REPLENISHMENT, THE JEEP CHEROKEE IS WORKING WELL SINCE THEN. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER TO GET OIL CHANGE.*JB

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE OPERATING MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON 3 OCCURRENCES. EACH TIME IT STALLED THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IT HAS HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC TO A SAFER LOCATION AND THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. MULTIPLE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP TO THE FUEL SYSTEM WITH AN ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. THE PROBLEM IS STILL ON GOING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING IN A MOVING OR ACCELERATING VEHICLE AND WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. MY FAMILY DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS < 60 DAYS OLD AND < 3000 MILES.

STEERING
WHILE JUST BEGINNING TO EXIT A FREEWAY, MY STEERING LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. I HAD NO CONTROL BUT RECALL SEEING A RED LIGHT JUST COMING ON THE DASH (OBVIOUSLY, I COULDN'T ASCERTAIN WHAT THEY LIGHT WAS AT THE TIME AS MY CAR WAS DOING MULTIPLE 360 SPINS DOWN THE EXIT RAMP!) TRY AS I MIGHT, I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. AFTER COMING TO REST AGAINST A TRAFFIC SIGN, I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT IT WAS AN ALERT FOR MY STEERING THAT HAD COME ON. IT REMAINED ON EVEN AS I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE INJURIES TO MY HEAD, BACK, LEGS, WRIST, HIPS, SHOULDER AND HIP. THIS IS A MOST EGREGIOUS FAILURE AND I AM QUITE UNDERSTANDABLY RETICENT TO TRUST ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS COMPONENT. AFTER 1 WEEK, SILENCE IS THE ONLY SOUND I HAVE HEARD FROM EITHER THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER/JEEP. THIS SILENCE IS MOST DISTURBING. NO HELP FOR A RENTAL OR LOANER, AND AS AN INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING, EVEN MY OWN AUTO INSURANCE IS NOT PROVIDING ANY SUPPORT FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT THANKFULLY HAS STEPPED UP TO HELP WITH THE MEDICAL BILLS.*DT *DT*JB *DT *DT *DT*JB *DT*JB *JB *DT *DT MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO FIX THE STEERING.*JB *TR*JB *DT *TR *DT*DT*JB*JB*DT*JB*DT

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. THE CAR DIED AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING WENT BLANK. I SAT FOR 10 MINUTES DUE TO NOT STARTING UP. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT OVER. AFTER STARTING IT BACK I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED IT WAS A RECALL AND IT WAS FIXED. WELL THIS MORNING I WENT TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP SIGN WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DIED, I WAS STUCK IN 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR RESTARTED AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THAT THEY CHANGED MY OIL AND COULD TELL THAT IN LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE THAT'S WHAT IT IS. THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP THE CAR OVER THE WEEKEND AND LET ME KNOW. HOWEVER MY FRIEND HAS THE SAME 2019 AND HER CAR HAS DONE THE SAME THING AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AS OF MAY 5TH EXPERIENCED A SAFETY RISK WITH THIS JEEP AND IT'S 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND TRIED TO MERGE TO ANOTHER EXPRESSWAY AND VEHICLE FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT OR ACCELERATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE. THIS WAS ALSO ACCOMPANIED WITH EXCESSIVE GEAR HUNTING ALONG WITH HARD SHIFTS AND LONG/HIGH RPM SHIFTS. NOT TO MENTION IT WILL LUNGE OR TRY TO OVERPOWER THE BRAKES WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT. WILL BE GOING TO THE SHOP FOR THE 4TH TIME FOR SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS, IT IS RANDOM AND NEVER KNOW WHAT IT WILL DO NEXT. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY RISK!

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
JEEP HAS 6664 MILES ON IT AND AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND SAYS THAT AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICED. AT FIRST THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN TURN BACK OFF HOWEVER, NOW THE LIGHT IS ON AND REMAINS ON. NEXT COMPLAINT IS THAT AFTER SLOWING VEHICLE DOWN AND BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE JEEP SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY...IT IS HESITANT AND THEN SUDDENLY PICKS UP SPEED. 3RD COMPLAINT. WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS PULLING AGAINST THE BRAKE (AS IF YOU WERE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND BRAKE AT SAME TIME) IN A "LUNGING" MANNER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE PROBLEM IS A SMUDGE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AT EYE LEVEL WHEN THE WIPERS RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION. WE REPLACED THE WIPERS FIRST WITH THE MOST EXPENSIVE WE COULD FIND AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE SO THAT IS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP BENNY BOYD OF LAMPASIS REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD UNDER WARRANTY. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID BECAME WORSE WITH THE NEW WINDSHIELD AND NOW THERE WERE STREAKS, SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE EXPENSIVE WIPERS WITH OEM WIPERS AND STILL IT DID THE SAME. WE WERE ADVISED BY OUR SERVICE MANAGER CHRISTOPHER WEIR TO CALL CHRYSLER @ 800-992-1997 AND START A STAR CASE, THE CASE NUMBER IS OR WAS 58366091. THE CASE OPENED AND SUPPOSEDLY LOOKED INTO BY SOME ENGINEERS PER THE CONVERSATION OF THE CASE MANAGER @ CHRYSLER. THE RESPONSE WE RECEIVED BACK FROM THE CASE MANGER WAS THAT IT WAS THE CHARACTERISTIC FOR THIS VEHICLE????? I AM PROVIDING A URL FOR THE JEEP FORUM WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT.
