STEERING
WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A NOTCH, OR HARD SPOT IN IT TO GO STRAIGHT. IT EITHER WANTS TO GO RIGHT OR LEFT, AND WHEN YOU TRY TO CORRECT IT, IT'S HARD TO MOVE THE WHEEL THEN WITH MORE PRESSURE YOU CAN GET PAST THAT POINT THEN IT GETS SUPER EASY AND JERKS. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GO STRAIGHT, YOU JUST BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH IN THE LANE. IT'S EXTREMELY ANNOYING BUT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. EVEN WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL YOU JUST BOUNCING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT TO RIGHT TO LEFT THE WHOLE TIME. JEEP ALWAYS SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG AND THAT'S NORMAL, BUT IT'S NOT.

I'M NOT SURE IF I PICKED THE CORRECT CATEGORY. BUT BASICALLY SOMETIME WHEN I STOP MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW. MY CAR NO LONGER DOES THE THING WHEN IT TURNS THE ENGINE OFF TO SAVE FUEL. MY VEHICLE ALSO STARTS SO SOMETIMES, LIKE IT'S HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE TURNING OVER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
6 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK, MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF MID DRIVE. AS I AM DRIVING, MY CAR WILL DING, MY BATTERY LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND THEN MY CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITHIN 3-5 SECONDS. I WILL HAVE TO TURN MY KEY TO OFF, WAIT A MINUTE AND RESTART. I WILL HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL AND MY CAR WILL SPUTTER BEFORE IT TURNS OVER AND STARTS BACK UP. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, I DO NOT HAVE ANY ENGINE LIGHTS DISPLAYED ON MY SCREEN FOR ATTENTION AND EVERYTHING RUNS SMOOTHLY. I HAVE ALSO CHECKED MY BATTERY ON THE SCREEN DISPLAY AS I DRIVE AND IT IS ALWAYS BETWEEN 14.2-14.4V. DURING THESE SHUTS, MY CAR IS GOING UNDER 30 MILES PER HOUR, BUT HAS HAPPENED AS I AM TURNING AND GOING STRAIGHT. MOST RECENTLY (THIS MORNING), I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT (HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AT MY APARTMENT) AND MY BATTERY LIGHT TURNED ON AND MY CAR LOCKED. THE STEERING WHEEL AND PEDALS WERE UNUSABLE, BUT MY ENGINE REMAINED ON. I CHECKED MY BATTERY DURING THIS AND IT SAYS IT WAS AT 12.2V. I HAD TO SHUT MY CAR OFF, PUMP THE GAS TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER AND MY BATTERY DISPLAYED AS BACK AT 14.4V. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS OUT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX (EVERY 50 FEET OR SO) AND I TURNED AROUND AND PARKED AGAIN. I HAD MY CAR HOOKED UP TO DIAGNOSTICS MACHINE AFTER IT BEGAN THE FIRST SHUT DOWNS, BUT IT RETURNED WITH NO ERROR CODES AND MY BATTERY TESTED FINE AND ALL THE WIRES WERE SECURE. I CALLED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED I AM OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY (BY 800 MILES), SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT WITH MY CAR. I CAN SEE THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH THAT MANY OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS ARE HAVING THESE EXACT ISSUES AND JEEP IS GIVING THEM THE RUNAROUND. I ALSO SEE THERE ARE SOME RECALLS FOR JEEP PERTINENT TO THIS CONCERN, HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY SON WAS IN MY CAR FOR ALL OCCURRENCES + I HAVE A 30 MIN COMMUTE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
BACKING OUT OF GARAGE GASOLINE WAS COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND FALLING ONTO THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF THE GAS STOPPED COMING OUT. TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON AND GAS STARTED COMING OUT AGAIN SO I PARKED IT IN THE YARD. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO THEIR PLACE. THEY TOLD ME THE FUEL LINE WAS DISCONNECTED AT THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY STATED THAT YOU CAN'T REMOVE THIS WITHOUT A SPECIAL TOOL AND IT WAS PROBABLY NOT FULLY LOCKED IN WHEN MADE AND OVER TIME CAME LOOSE. BRAD AT CROWN JEEP IN CLEVELAND, TN. THAT'S ALSO WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I SUSPECT THAT SOMEONE IS TAKING OVER MY CAR USING THE OBD2 PORT. I WAS AT AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY AND AROUND 7:00 PM I HEARD MY CAR LOCKED AND I HAD MY CAR ALREADY LOCKED. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR, THE CAR RADIO SCREEN WAS JUMBLED UP AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AFTER U TURNED ON THE CAR. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AGAIN IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE SCRAMBLED ICONS ON THE SCREEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE SINCE WORKING AT CATALENT IN HARMANS MD. I HAD A COUPLE OF PHONE CALLS THAT OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT HAPPENING WHICH WAS ABOUT 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO MY CAR LOCKING OR THE INDICATION OF IT LOCKING WHEN THE HORN WENT OFF TWICE. MY CAR WAS PARKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING LOCATED IN ROSEDALE MARYLAND, 8767 PHILADELPHIA RD SUITE C, ZIP CODE 21237. THE CAR HAS BEEN FEELING WEIRD EVER SINCE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN WORKING AT CATALENT, I HAVE 3 POLICE REPORTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAD GOTTEN INTO MY CAR ON MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS EVEN BREAKING ITEMS IN MY CAR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED UNTIL I STARTED WORKING WITH THIS JOB. I AM NO LONGER WORKING THERE NOW DUE TO HOSTILE WORKING CONDITIONS AND WAS FIRED DUE TO HAVING NEGATIVE TIME. IN WHICH THOSE TIMES REQUIRED ME TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AND DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS THAT I UTILIZED PTO TIME AND WAS APPROVED BY THE SUPERVISOR. I HAVE A LAWYER SPEAKING WITH CATALENT LAWYER AS WELL AS EEOC CASES AND A WORKER'S COMPENSATION CASE DUE TO A WORKER ALLOWING A METAL 10 FOOT LADDER FALL ON MY BACK AND I WAS TOLD TO COMPLETE A NEAR MISS REPORT. I WAS OUT FOR A MONTH AND UPON MY RETURN, I OF COURSE HAD A VEHICLE ISSUE AND TOLD MY SUPERVISOR WHEN I WOULD RETURN. I TOLD HIM THAT A I WOULD RERUN ON WEDNESDAY AND WAS FIRED ON A TUESDAY. THIS HAPPENED ON JULY 27. AND STILL, I SUSPECT THAT THEY ARE STILL FINDING WAYS TO SABOTAGE MY VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE JEEP STARTED STALLING WHEN IN MOTION/ DRIVING ABOUT A MONTH AGO, IT USUALLY HAPPENED WHEN BRAKING TO STOP AND THE JEEP WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. IT TAKES ABOUT THREE TIMES TO TURN OVER AND START BACK UP. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSIER ROAD THE JEEP STARTED THROWING ERRORS STAYING SYSTEMS WERE NOT WORKING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT THROUGH THE STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OR ACCELERATE. I GOT IT PULLED OVER IN A GAS STATION PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN IT FINALLY DID. NOT WHEN I TRY TO REMOTE START THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING. EVERY TIME I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND I AM LUCKY I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AS NOTHING WORKS NOT EVEN MY HAZARD LIGHTS. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ANYMORE. WHEN THE ELECTRIC ISSUE HAPPENED YESTERDAY THERE WAS A RED FLASHING LIGHTENING BOLT ON THE DASH AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ALSO FLASHING WHEN IT WAS TELLING ME CERTAIN SYSTEMS WERE NOT WOKING. I TRIED TO GET A PICTURE BUT IT DID NOT TAKE. I AM CURRENT IN CANADA AT COLLEGE AND WITH THE BORDERS BEING CLOSED I CAN NOT JUST DRIVE TO NY TO GET IT LOOKED AT. I TRIED TO CALL A JEEP DEALER HERE BUT NOW ONE WILL RETURN MY CALLS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT OR DIED. EITHER WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR TURNING LEFT/RIGHT THE SAME THING HAPPENS. WITHOUT NOTICE, LIGHT INDICATORS FOR BATTERY, AUTOMATIC START, AND NOW ENGINE POPS ON WHILE THE STEERING LOCKS UP AS THE JEEP STALLS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ONLY FOR THEM TO SAY THERE AREN'T ANY ACTIVE RECALLS FOR MY JEEP AND THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE CAUSE FOR THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I SERVICE MY VEHICLE REGULARLY AND KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2018 ON ONLY HAVE 34,588 MILES. THIS MAKES NO SENSE AND I FEAR THAT MY AND THE PASSENGERS IN MY JEEP LIVES ARE AT RISK FROM THE MALFUNCTIONS OF THIS JEEP ENGINE SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURE HAS BEEN NO HELP FOR THE NUMEROUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I JUST WISH THEY COULD ACTUALLY FIX IT SO I CAN HAVE SOME PIECE OF MIND!

WHILE DRIVING EAST ON INTERSTATE 70, I HAD A BLOWOUT. AFTER LOOKING AT THE REMAINING TIRES, IT SEEMED THAT THEY WERE ALL PRETTY WORN - IF THEY HAVE THE MINIMUM 2/32 TREAD REMAINING, THEY BARELY DO. I FEEL THAT A PROPER SAFETY INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED BEFORE ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL ON 37TH STREET NORTH IN WICHITA, KANSAS SENT ME AWAY IN THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHOLE STATIONARY, THE JEEP HAS ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO START 4 SEPARATE TIMES, THE CLIMATE CHANGES ITSELF TO GO THE THE FRONT VENT ON HIGH HEAT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TURNED ON REGARDLESS OF SETTING BEFORE TURNING OFF, AND RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN. THE AUX PORT ON THE CONSOLE WILL WORK ONE DAY AND NOT THE NEXT. WHILE DRIVING, THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS STOPPED WORKING TWICE. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN A SPAN OF TWO WEEKS.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOUGHT CAR IN 1/20 WITH 2.4L TIGERSHARK ENGINE. USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL; GARAGE DID NOT DIAGNOSE AND CAR IS NOW AT JEEP DEALER. WE HAD OIL CHANGES COMPLETED AS REQUIRED AND STILL HAD TO ADD OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. AT THE LAST GARAGE VISIT THEY HAD TO ADD 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT ANY TIME. WHEN CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND WANTED TO STALL WE TOOK IMMEDIATELY TO GARAGE. THEY SAY WE NEED A REBUILT OR NEW ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION. WE ARE WORKING SENIORS WITH ONLY ONE VEHICLE! A $3,000 BILL IS RIDICULOUS ESPECIALLY SINCE WE FOUND THAT THIS ENGINE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE 2012!

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A DAMP ROAD AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY WENT INTO PARK WHICH CAUSED THE WHEELS TO LOCK AS SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. DUE TO THE CONTACT LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE SLID OFF THE SIDE OF ROAD AND HIT SEVERAL METAL POLES LOCATED IN A FARM YARD. ONCE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A HALT, THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE HAD DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES AS WERE REPORTED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CHANGE THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE WITH A SPARE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE INSURANCE DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. *DT*JB
