ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON 2/28/19 I PURCHASED A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. ON 4/15 I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED DUE TO LEAK & FAILURE. ON 5/27 I HAD TO HAVE THE DASH INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE, WHICH I HAVE VIDEO RECORD OF. ON 7/10 I HAD TO HAVE THE PARK SENSOR REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE & THE VEHICLE THROWING ITSELF INTO PARK INSTRUCTING ME THAT DOOR WAS AJAR WHEN IT WASN'T. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DOING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY. MY VIN IS NOT SHOWING IN ANY OF THE RECALLS, HOWEVER THREE RECALLS PERTAIN TO ME. SO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO MAKE PPL AWARE OF THESE RECALLS. MY VIN NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST. I HAVE ALL REPAIR REPORTS NEEDED TO PROVE MY VEHICLE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE REPETITIVELY ASKED JEEP TO PLACE ME IN A SAFER MORE RELIABLE VEHICLE AND THEY REFUSE TO RETURN MY CALLS OR ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY, STATING THAT 'THIS IS WHY WE HAVE WARRANTIES' SOMEONE NEEDS TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I NEED HELP BEFORE MY VEHICLE RESULTS IN A FATAL CRASH NO KILLS MY FAMILY AND ME. I AM NOTING THAT I CONTACTED THE NHTSA ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON 9/11 AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE.

MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 2.4 LITER 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. IT'S CONSTANTLY LOSING OIL AND SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING. IT HAS ONLY 18,000 MILES AND I FEEL THAT IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IT HAS SHUT DOWN ON MAJOR ROADS AS WELL AS LOCAL ONES. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN NEXT.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I TOOK MY CAR FOUR TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THEY HAVE ONLY DONE TWO REPAIRS BUT EVERY TIME I TAKE IT AND THEY FIX SOMETHING, SOMETHING ELSE STARTS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN IN THE FREEWAY THAT WAS THE REASON WHY I TOOK IT THE FIRST TIME. THE DEALER ONLY DID AN UPDATE IN THE POWER TRAIN, WHICH THEY SAID IT WAS RECALL. AFTER THAT THE CAR CONTINUE WITH ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT WERE NOT TAKEN CARE BY THE DEALERSHIP. I TRIED TWO DIFFERENT JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS, ONE IN ALHAMBRA WHICH IS WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THE OTHER LOCATION I TOOK THE CAR WAS THE ONE IN DOWNEY,CA. I'M AFRAID OFF GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS THE CAR HAS. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO FIX THE CAR AS THEY SAID THE CAR IS NOT SHOWING ANY CODES FOR THEM TO FIX THEM. THE CAR ACCELERATES BY IT SELF, THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, IT SHAKES AND THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR FOR REPAIR IT STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE, ALSO THE DASHBOARD TURNS ON AND OFF BY IT SELF. I JUST WANT TO HAVE A RELIABLE CAR AS I'M PAYING FOR A 2019 VEHICLE NOT A USED ONE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT MY KIDS, MYSELF, OR ANYONE'S LIFE IN DANGER DUE TO THE CAR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATED IF YOU GUYS CAN ASSIST OR HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THIS MORNING AT 70 MPH MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE 2.0 TURBO LOST ALL POWER, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I FOUGHT TO PULL IT OFF THE ROAD. RIGHT WHEN IT STALLED OUT THE MESSAGE CENTER STATED "AUTO START/STOP NOT AVAILABLE" AND THE AUTO START/STOP LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT. THE 'D' DRIVE INDICATOR ON THE DASH WAS BLINKING. UPON STOPPING AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, IT TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, AND NOTHING. THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN AUTO STOP AS THE DOOR CHIME DINGED WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF (PUSH BUTTON START). LOCKING THE VEHICLE LEFT THE DASH LIT UP LIKE IT WAS RUNNING. CHRYSLER HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS WAITING TO BE LOOKED AT. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING THIS WHEN IT HAPPENED SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKE ASSIST.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTY ROAD TRAVELING NORMALLY WHEN IT SUDDENLY STALLED OUT LOSING ALL POWER INCLUDING STEERING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STATED SOMETHING LIKE "MUST BE IN PARK TO CHANGE GEARS" ALTHOUGH NO MANUAL ATTEMPT HAD BEEN MADE TO DO ANYTHING OF THE SORT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE JEEP DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS AND HAS DECIDED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AIR CONDITIONER HAS NOT WORKED SINCE I PURCHASED IN 2018. WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL THE CAR DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY AND EVERYONE COMPLAINS OF BEING HOT IN THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE WATER DRIPPING AND PUFFS OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS A/C VENT THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IT LOOKED LIKE A CLOUD OF CONDENSATION. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING TO FLORIDA AND THE SMOKE HIT ME IN THE FACE AND IT SCARED ME, I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE MOST IRRITATING THING IS THAT I HEAR THE A/C COMPRESSOR WHILE IT'S WORKING THE NOISE IS LOUD AND DISTRACTING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FROM AUGUST 2018 TO CURRENT DATE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AND YESTERDAY 8/28/19. BOTH TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE SITTING IN TRAFFIC THE CAR WOULD STOP AND THE PARKING BRAKE WILL ENGAGE AND AFTER FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DASH THE BRAKE WILL NOT CUT OFF. BOTH TIMES I HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO TURN IT COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST OCTOBER 12TH, THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER PER YOUR SITE SINCE OCTOBER 19TH OF LAST YEAR. IT STATES CHRYSLER WAS SUPPOSED TO REACH OUT TO PURCHASERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND NOW ALMOST A YEAR LATER I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I RISK MY LIFE EVERYDAY I STEP FOOT IN THIS CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
TAKATA RECALL THIS MORNING 8/26/19 WE WERE DRIVING UP A HILL AT A LIGHT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. WE ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, BUT THE ONLY THING WORKING WERE THE BRAKES. REALIZING IT HAD STALLED,WE ATTEMPTED REPEATEDLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINS AND WERE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT FLASHED WAS THE BATTERY LIGHT. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND WANTS $80 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. TOOK IT ELSEWHERE AND NO CODES CAME BACK. PROBLEM STILL REMAINS AN ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO EPISODES OF SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING AND NEARLY WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN IN TO TRAFFIC.I COULD NOT FIND THE REPAIR BILL FOR THE FIRST EPISODE. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED ONCE. THE OTHER TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED. ENGINE IDLES ROUGH, LURCHES FORWARD WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND OCCASIONALLY HAS LOUD ENGINE NOISE WHEN IDLING. WHEN ACCLERATING IN THIS VEHICLE IT RATTLES. VEHICLE SPEEDS UP WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN ENGINE HAS A HIGH REVING SOUND TO THE POINT IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS IN NEUTRAL OR IS GOING TO EXPLODE. ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE STOP START LIGHT COMING ON AS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT. *DT

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP OUT OF GEAR AND RPM'S WOULD GO UP. HAD TO TAP ON BRAKE TO GO BACK INTO GEAR. HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLASHED PER RECENT RECALL AND STILL DOES IT. 08/21/19 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE 50MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND NO BRAKES. VEHICLE RAN OFF THE ROAD AND INTO SOME TREES (CRASH). THE DEALERSHIP SAID IF IT DIDN'T SHOW A CODE THAT I HAD TO CALL JEEP AND FILE A COMPLAINT.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. IT LAGS TERRIBLY. IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT JERKS AND THE TRANSMISSION GRINDS. THE BRAKES MAKE STRANGE NOISES WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND IT DOESN'T STOP AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. THE RADIO OVERHEATS AND THE USB PORTS STOP WORKING RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE CUT OFF ON A MAJOR HWY AT ONE POINT. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE DEALER AND IT HAS BEEN SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT'S NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. IT'S A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND STARTED HAVING ISSUES NOT LONG AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER KEEPS RE-FLASHING THE TRANSMISSION AND IT'S NOT FIXING THE PROBLEMS THIS VEHICLE HAS. CHRYSLER WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR US BECAUSE THEY SAY THERE ARE NO CODES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND IT'S NOT EVEN SAFE TO DRIVE. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP A VEHICLE THAT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND IT HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE MECHANIC EVEN ADMITTED IT LAGS BUT STATED "IT'S NOT THAT BAD." THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. NO BRAND NEW VEHICLE SHOULD LAG AT ALL OR HAVE ANY OF THESE OTHER ISSUES FOR THAT MATTER!
