VEHICLE DIES AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN VERY SLOWLY IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DIED. POWER STEERING LOSS AND BRAKE LOSS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO PULL OVER. DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS DEATH TRAP AND I WOULD LIKE THE ENGINE REPLACED. OR BE ABLE TO GET RID OF IT WITHOUT PAYING A FORTUNE. ALSO 2 DAYS BEFORE THIS IT STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE GOING 50 PMH.

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. GENERALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS, WHILE I'M DECELERATING IT DECIDES TO DECELERATE TO WHERE I'M NOW GOING JUST A FEW MILES AN HOUR TO COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I'VE REPLACED MY BATTERY TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T AN ISSUE AND MY BATTERY LIGHT DID COME ON AS WELL AFTER THE SHUT OFF. MY SCREEN ALSO TELLS ME TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND CHOOSE DESIRED GEAR. WHEN MY CAR IS CLEARLY IN DRIVE BUT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND THE PICTURE IS FROM TODAY, THIS BATTERY WAS REPLACED YESTERDAY.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING COMES ON, RANDOMLY, AND VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO CLEAR WARNING AND WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS AS NOTHING, GEAR RELATED, WILL FUNCTION (DRIVE/REVERSE, ETC) UNTIL SAID RESTART IS DONE. NOTE THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE/SHIFT/PARK, ETC. THERE IS NOTHING THAT INDICATES A MALFUNCTION WILL HAPPEN AND GIVEN IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, SAFETY IS A MAJOR CONCERN. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE 12.2.20 WITH THE MOST RECENT BEING 12.16.20

THE JEEP HAS 36.4K MILES. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR IS OVERHEATING AND SHOOTS ALL THE WAY HOT INTO THE RED AND THEN COOLS DOWN, THEN GOES UP AGAIN. IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 15 MIN. WE FILLED IT WITH ANTIFREEZE. THERE IS NO LEAK. THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM BUT MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S AN ENGINE DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX. IT ALSO HAS A CYLINDER MISFIRE THAT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE FIXED BY CHRYSLER TWICE IN SEPTEMBER AND DECEMBER BECAUSE IT CHUGS WHEN I START THE CAR AND AT STOP LIGHTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEY SAY IT'S BAD SPARK PLUGS. I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 14 MILES A DAY.

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION A FEW TIMES SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON FOR A DAY THEN GO AWAY. UPON THE THIRD TIME OR RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE I NOTICED MY CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD WHILE ACCELERATING. I HAD SOMEONE CHECK MY CODES AND I RECEIVED 3 CODES. B10E9, B10EA, AND P1DB7. I HAVE READ SO MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I NOTICED MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 MONTHS BEFORE I GOT ANY OF THESE MESSAGES AND STARTED HAVING THESE ISSUES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THIS AT THE MOMENT AND IT'S REALLY STRESSFUL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP.

I BOUGHT A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WITH 56,000. I HAD IT FOR 1 DAY BEFORE I GOT A SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIT UP RED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME IN RIGHT AWAY, BUT THE LIGHT WENT OFF WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME BACK ON FOR A FEW WEEK, BUT NOW IT COMES ON EVERYDAY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2016-2019 JEEP'S, AND EVEN AFTER GETTING THE WIRING AND SHIFTER REPLACED THE ISSUE WILL COME BACK. I'VE READ ABOUT PEOPLE WHOSE CAR GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND THEY CAN'T PUT IT INTO DRIVE OR PARK. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING TO HAVE THE ISSUE 'FIXED' WHEN IT ISN'T REALLY GETTING FIXED AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SHUT DOWN MID TURN OR WHILE DRIVING. ON MANY TURNS, IT DIES AS I COMPLETE THE TURN. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY JEEP'S ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN ON A CITY STREET IN MORNING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. MY JEEP DEALER SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO "10-11 CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE/RAM VEHICLES". HIS SUGGESTIONS WAS "TO GET AN OIL CHANGE" AND IT WILL FIX IT. I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSIEST STREET IN THE CITY DURING LUNCH TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-7 TIMES THIS YEAR. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING. I IMAGINE THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY AND FREE WAY WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS. CARS WERE SWERVING TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH MY CAR. IF YOU WERE TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE ON GOOGLE, IT'S THE FIRST RESULT. THE ENGINE LITERALLY STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION. HOW ELSE DOES THIS NEED TO BE PHRASED TO GET JEEP'S ATTENTION?

BROUGHT IT TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR CHECKED AT ADVANCED AUTO AND THE ALTERNATOR IS FINE. LEAVING ADVANCED AUTO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I HAD TO CALL ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE JEEP HOME. THIS MORNING IT STARTED RUNNING FINE ON OUR WAY TO THE STORE A MILE AWAY SAMETHING. WHAT'S GOING ON? I RESEARCH AND THERES HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE YET NO RESULTS OR CLARIFICATION.

VEHICLE WOULD JERK OR STALL WHEN DRIVING FROM A STOP IN THE CITY OR EVEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. PROBLEMS OCCURRED SINCE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT AND HAS PROGRESSLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE. ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON NOW WITH A SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE A DIPSTICK TO CHECK FLUID LEVELS. OWNER'S MANUEL STATES TRANSMISSION FLUID DOES NOT NEED TO BE CHECKED AND TRANSMISSION IS ENCLOSED. OWNER'S MANUEL STATES TRANSMISSION DOES NOT NEED TO BE SERVICED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH I AM ASSUMING MIGHT BE A FALSE STATEMENT. PROBLEM CAUSING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN SERVICE BECAUSE OWNER'S MANUEL STATES IT DOES NOT NEED TO. PROBLEM WOULD RESOLVED BY TURNING ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. SOMETIMES TRANSMISSION BEING STUCK IN A GEAR WILL BE RESOLVED ON ITS OWN IF GAS PEDAL IS KEPT IN THE DOWN POSITION.

WHILE DRIVING A SERVICE 4WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER INVESTIGATION THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECALL ON THE PTU'S BUT MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED. AFTER INVESTIGATION THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE PTU'S FAILING. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T EVEN LOCATE ONE OR GET AN ETA FOR THESE UNITS BECAUSE THEY ARE IN SO MUCH DEMAND. NO MATTER WHAT DEALER I CALL THEY ARE ALREADY WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS SOON AS I SAY PTU WHICH PROVES THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT SHIFTER STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ON AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THE SAME VEHICLES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED AND I JUST GOT IT. IT LOCKED UP ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT SHIFT IN TO NEUTRAL OR IN GEAR SO I COULD GET IT OUT THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I FINALLY GOT IT TO RELEASE INTO NEUTRAL AND IT ROLLED BACK OFF THE ROAD. NOW IT SAYS SERVICE E BRAKE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS WAY BEYOND YOUR TYPICAL CAR ISSUE THAT CAN BE FIXED FOR A FEW BUCKS. UNSAFE FOR MY KIDS.
