I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. I CRANKED IT UP AND NOTICED THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS BESIDE MY SHIFTER ACTUALLY LIT UP! THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT HAD MY DASH LOCKED AT THAT AND WOULDN'T GO OFF TIL I TURNED MY JEEP OFF AND CRANKED IT BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES! I HAVE MY JEEP AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY OR A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET! I PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS JEEP AND I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL! PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS!

ENGINE
EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I CAN NOT GO MORE THAN 3,000 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF ON MY AND BEING BONE DRY ON OIL ON THE DIP STICK. I KEEP BEING TOLD THIS PARTICULAR MODEL JUST BURNS A LITTLE EXTRA OIL BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. IT IS SHUTTING OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAYS WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND DO NOT TRUST TO PUT THEM IN THIS CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN AND A CREATE A NO START SITUATION. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WITH THE SAME RESULT, A PARTIAL ROTATION OF THE ENGINE BEFORE THE SYSTEM RESETS. I CHECKED THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WHICH WAS READING ABOUT 11.5 VOLTS, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP THE VEHICLE, I GOT THE SAME RESULT. IT FINALLY STARTED AFTER MORE THAN 5 ATTEMPTS WITH JUMPER CABLES CONNECTED. MOST OTHER TIMES, IT WILL START AFTER ABOUT 2 ATTEMPTS WITHOUT ATTACHING ANY JUMPER CABLES. THIS IS ALSO AFTER THE AUTO START STOP SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK STATING THE BATTERY IS CHARGING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULLY CHARGED.

ENGINE
MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE HAS BEEN STALLING DUE TO HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION (PER THE DEALER). THE STALLS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING WHEN BRAKING OR MAKING TURNS. THERE IS NO WARNING, THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF, WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, NEED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND WAIT A COUPLE MINUTES. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN CITY DRIVING. IN TWO SCENARIOS, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND IN ANOTHER, I STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I'VE TAKEN THE JEEP TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SUGGESTED I DO AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST" TO SEE IF THE ENGINE IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED, WHICH ENTAILS ME BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY 1,000 MILES TO CHECK OIL LEVELS (EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT). I'VE ALSO OPENED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER/FIAT WHO SAYS I NEED TO COMPLETE THE CONSUMPTION TEST BEFORE THEY CAN MAKE ANY DETERMINATION. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER/FIAT NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NEEDED.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
ELECTRICAL WARNING SYSTEM CAN NOT BE REMEDIED. EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING AND SETTING WHEN CAR IS IN DRIVE. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY WENT DEAD ON THE FREEWAY CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL, WHEN CAR WAS RESTARTED AND NURSED OFF OF THE FREEWAY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY WENT DEAD, THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP PREVENTING THE TOW COMPANY FROM LOADING THE CAR ONTO THE TOW TRUCK, THE CAR WAS MANUALLY MANIPULATED TO RELEASE THE SYSTEM INTO NEUTRAL. THE CARS ELECTRONIC DASH BOARD COMPLETELY GOES DEAD WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN 3 DEALERSHIPS OVER MORE THAN 1 MONTH, THE DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THEY HAVE REPLACED COMPUTER COMPONENTS, CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OR 'JIGGLE THE WIRES'. THE CARS WARRANTY IS NEARLY UP, AND WE HAVE BEEN PRESSURED TO BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS PROVIDED US WITH A RENTAL CAR, AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, THAT IS WHEN THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR IS A COMPLETE HAZARD. MY HUSBAND HAS THE REPAIR RECORDS ON FILE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE PURCHASED A USED 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE (LESS THAN 13,000 MILES) FROM A DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO SPRINGS ON 10/17. ON THE WAY HOME, ABOUT 100 MILES, THE STOP /START WARNING LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON ABOUT 8 MILES FROM HOME GOING APPROX. 50 MPH. WE DECIDED TO GET IT HOME. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVEWAY, WE PLACED THE CAR IN REVERSE AND NOTICED THAT POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING. WE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND AT RESTART, THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE RESET. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND THEY RECOMMENDED CHANGING OUT BATTERY. WE DROVE ABOUT 15 MILES TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND BOUGHT THE BEST BATTERY THEY HAD FOR THAT VEHICLE. WE DID NOT USE THE JEEP FOR THE NEXT DAY (FRIDAY). SATURDAY 10/19 WE DROVE IT DOWN TO DENVER (ABOUT 60 MILES) WITH NO PROBLEM. ON THE WAY HOME, AGAIN THE STOP /START WARNING LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON GOING APPROX. 60 MPH. WE DROVE TO A PARKING LOT AND MADE A TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT. AT THAT POINT POWER STEERING WAS OPERABLE. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN IN REVERSE AND THEN NOTICED NO POWER STEERING, I PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND AGAIN NO POWER STEERING. WE STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE RESET. ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING, I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WARMER AND REAR DEFROST HAD BOTH BEEN SWITCHED ON AUTOMATICALLY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER THEN LIGHT UP RED THE 'PRNDL' THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO NOT SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED BY THE DEALER AND THE SHIFTER/ WIRING HARNESS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MOST JEEPS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND NO RECALL HAS YET BEEN MADE, I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 7 MONTHS AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THUS FAR. THIS BEING AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF I FEEL THAT SOME ACTION SHOULD BE MADE FOR THE CUSTOMER. I AM A LOYAL JEEP CUSTOMER BUT AFTER THIS ISSUE NOT BEING RESOLVED FOR YEARS I MAY NOT CONTINUE TO BE A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND GO ELSEWHERE TO PURCHASE MY NEXT VEHICLE. THIS FIRST OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 25,2019 AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE.
