SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
"TAKATA RECALL" MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE (LATITUDE PLUS, FWD) ALWAYS HAVING ISSUES. VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, HAVING TO DRIVE ACROSS AMTRAK TRACKS TO GET TO WORK IS JUST NOT SAFE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BATTERY LIGHT TURNS ON, NOT TO MENTION THE ROTARIES SOUND OF A CRUNCH WHEN DRIVING. HOW MANY OIL CHANGES DO THIS CAR REALLY NEED IN 2 MONTHS, DRIVING 5 MILES TIMES 5 DAY TO AND FROM WORK? I ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST 2,000 MILES LEFT BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE STALLS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, THE BATTERY LIGHT DISPLAYS, AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED, PUT IN PARK, AND RESTARTED. THIS ISSUE WAS NOTED BY A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR BY JEEP, BUT SERVICE FOR THE RECALL WAS INEFFECTIVE AND ISSUE REMAINS. BOTH EXPERIENCES WERE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION (DRIVING) AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR BOTH ON LOW GRADE INCLINES. THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS WITH LESS THAN 1,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE 2ND EXPERIENCE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES. ALSO, THE SPEED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS INCONSISTENT WITH BOTH LURCHING AT TAKE OFF AND SLOW ACCELERATION. *DT *DT CONSUMER STATED THE JEEP WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FINAL LEG OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THAT, IN THE LAST WEEK, JEEP ACKNOWLEDGED AN ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WE WERE FURTHER TOLD THAT A NEW ENGINE WILL BE ORDERED FOR THE JEEP BUT BECAUSE OF THE MASS AMOUNT NEEDED, IT IS A 2-3 MONTH WAIT. IN THE WAIT TIME, WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO CHECK AND PURCHASE OIL FOR THE JEEP EVERY 2-3 WEEKS OR AS NEEDED.*JB

ON JULY 27 2019 AT 12:39 AM MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED AT MY CONDO COMPLEX AT 1138 VALLEY ROAD IN WAYNE NEW JERSEY. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED SINCE 4:30 PM ON 7-26-19. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OR WARNING LIGHTS THAT MAY HAVE INDICATED A PROBLEM ON 7-26-19. MY NEIGHBOR CALLED POLICE AT 12:39 AM STATING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WHEN THE FD ARRIVED THEY CONCLUDED IT WAS MOST LIKELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR ELECTRICAL. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS SINCE LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE WITH A FIRE INSPECTOR AND ALSO CORPORATE JEEP AND HAS DETERMINED IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF SOME SORT. JEEP CORPORATE IS NOW LAUNCHING A 30 DAY INVESTIGATION.*DT*JB *DT*JB
