ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. THE ENGINE WILL ATOP COMPLETELY AND THE CAR ROLLS BACK OR BEGINS TO DRIVE BACKWARDS WHEN IT'S RESTARTED. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 4 TIMES NOW DUE TO THE CAR STALKING IN ATOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND ANOTHER TIME WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO, THE CAR APPEARS TO CHUG OR HESITATE TO CHANGE GEARS. IT'S IS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED AND AT TIMES, IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE RADIO FLUCTUATES IN VOLUME LEVEL CONSTANTLY REGARDLESS OF THE PROGRAMMING AND IT'S SO BAD THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN USE IT. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY CHILDREN AND OTHERS AS WELL. CHRYSLER APPEARS TO HAVE NO CONCERNS. UNLESS SOMEONE DIES, I'M AFRAID THIS ISSUE WILL NOT BE RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS MERGING INTO THE TURNING LANE IN BUSY TRAFFIC. AS I WAS APPLYING BRAKES AND COMING TO A LOW SPEED THE VOLTAGE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE JEEP COMPLETELY STALLED AND LOST ALL DRIVABILITY. NO OTHER LIGHTS OR ANYTHING WAS IN THE DASH JUST THE VOLTAGE. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND MANAGED TO GET IT BACK STARTED BEFORE GETTING HIT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS AT A STOP WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, WHEN I SAW AN OPENING TO TURN I ACCELERATED, TURNED THE WHEEL AND HAD JUST BARELY CLEARED THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND MY ENGINE CUT ENTIRELY. I COASTED THROUGH THE REST OF THE TURN WITH NO POWER JUST BARELY AVOIDING BEING HIT. I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW MY BATTERY LIGHT FLASHING AND MY INFO CENTER DISPLAYING THE MESSAGE YOU SEE WHEN YOU FIRST ENTER YOUR CAR "TO START ENGINE PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND PRESS START BUTTON" (OR SOME VARIATION OF THIS PHRASE, I CAN'T QUOTE IT VERBATIM). IT HAD STALLED. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY IMMEDIATELY SENT SOMEONE TO PICK IT UP. I HAVE OWNED MY BRAND NEW CAR FOR 11 DAYS AND HAVE ONLY 700 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, CANNOT RECREATE THE SITUATION AND THERE IS NO APPARENT RECALL ON MY CAR'S YEAR. THERE IS, HOWEVER; A RECALL ON THE MODEL. FCA'S ADVANCED COMMUNICATION FOR RECALL U87 ON 8/16/18 DOES LIST MY MODEL YEAR AND THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION FOR NHTSA'S 18V-524 DOES AS WELL. THE ACTUAL RECALL DOES NOT. I'M CONCERNED AS THIS RECALL DOCUMENTS AN ISSUE WITH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) THAT "MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH A SUSPECT VOLTAGE REGULATOR CHIP ON THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD. IF THE PCM FAILS, THE CUSTOMER MAY EXPERIENCE A NO-START, A START-AND-IMMEDIATE STALL CONDITION, OR AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING". THAT IS AN EXACT QUOTE FROM THE FCA COMMUNICATION ON 8/16/18 WHICH LISTS MY MODEL & YEAR. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO ADDRESS THIS THOUGH AS THE RECALL DOES NOT. ITS CLEAR TO ME THIS IS THE ISSUE BUT THIS SMALL EXCLUSION OF MY MODEL YEAR LEAVES MY DEALERSHIP WITH THEIR HANDS TIED AND ME WITH A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PTU UNIT IS DEFECTIVE. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A WEEK, ONLY TO CALL ME TO TELL ME TO PICK UP VEHICLE AND BRING IT BACK TO THEM NEXT WEEK FOR A LEVEL 3 MASTER MECHANIC TO WORK ON IT. THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING ON MY DRIVEWAY WITH A 3 FOOT PUDDLE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS. I DON'T THINK IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
MY NEW CAR HAS 2,800 MILES DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 5 MONTHS/5,000 MILES. THE ENGINE FAILED ONCE FOR NO KNOWN CAUSE AFTER 2 WEEKS IN THE REPAIR SHOP. NOW MY CAR DIED WHILE IN MOTION ON BUSY ROADS AND A HIGHWAY RAMP AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 15-40 MPH WITHOUT WARNING OR LIGHTS. THIS IS SLA SAFETY HAZARD AS THE STEERING GOES AND CAR JUST COMES TO A STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAD IT TOWED AFTER IT'S 5TH TIME IN 4 DAYS STOPPING WHILE IN MOTION AND SHUTTING DOWN. JEEP TOLD ME IT'S EMPTY ON OIL BUT YET THE OIL LIGHT INDICATOR DOESN'T COME ON. THEY SAID IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITHOUT A FIX FOR ALL 2014-2019 JEEP CHEROKEES. THEY ARE AWARE BUT ARE NOT FIXING OR ADDRESSING THE OIL CONSUMPTION WITHOUT LIGHT ISSUE THAT PUTS DRIVERS IN MOTION AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT OR LOSING THEIR LIFE. IF NO WARNING IS COMING ON THAT YOUR OIL IS EMPTY LONG BEFORE A DIE OIL CHANGE AND MY CAR CAN JUST DIE WHILE IN MOTION ALONG WITH OTHERS AS AGAIN THEY STATED IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE IS A ROAD HAZARD FOR ANYONE IN THESE CARS. MY CAR IS 3 MONTHS OLD AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT ON ANY ROADS FOR FEAR I WILL BE HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER AS IT'S JUST LOSING POWER AND SHUTTING DOWN IN THE STREET IN MOTION. JEEP CANNOT FIX THIS BUT KNOWS ABOUT IT.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AT ALL. THEN IT STARTED DRIVING BACKWARDS AS IT WAS IN DRIVE. I COULDN'T NOT GET IT TO GO INTO PARK AND IT TOOK A MINUTE OR 2 TO GET IT INTO PARK. THE. THE DASH TOLD ME TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON AT FIRST. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND JUST ALL THE SUDDEN TURNED OFF. I WENT AND CHECKED THE OIL AFTER READING ABOUT THIS WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS AND I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR WENT DEAD (NOT THE BUTTON PROBLEM), THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED, THEN WENT AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, IT HAD 3000 MILES ON IT, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OUT OF OIL. THEY PUT OIL IN IT AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH OIL IN IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DROVE IT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE AND MAKING A TURN TO THE LEFT, AS I TURNED, MY CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THEN IT TOOK OFF. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. I IMMEDIATELY WENT HOME AND CALL JEEP. THEY OPENED A CLAIM, BUT I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME AND SINCE IT HAD ALSO HAPPENED TO HER, SHE IMMEDIATELY TOOK A PICTURE AT THE MOMENT IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS TURNING. I HAVE ATTACHED THE PICTURE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT.

ENGINE
MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS SUV IS BRAND NEW, ONLY 250 MILES ON IT. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, BEGAN DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START. SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES CAME UP ON MY DISPLAY SUCH AS, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE POWER STEERING, SERVICE PARKING BRAKE, SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL ETC. THE CAR NEVER RESTARTED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING ON TO A BUSY ROAD. MY DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *DT UPDATED 10/18/18*JB UPDATED 11/1/18 *DT CONSUMER STATED THE CAR HAS BEEN AT FOSS MOTORS IN EXETER NH SINCE 9/14, THEY HAVE UNABLE TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED A FRAYED WIRE WHICH THEY BELIEVED FRIED THE POWER CONTROL MODULE CHIP. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED ON 9/21/ AND I EXPECTED THE CAR BACK ON 9/24 BUT WHEN THEY BACKED IT OUT OF THE SERVICE BAY IT WASN'T RUNNING PROPERLY. THEY REACHED OUT TO SENIOR TECHNIANS ADVISED THEM TO REPLACE THE POWER CONTROL MODULE AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED SOME THROTTLE PART. THEY CALLED ON 10/8 TO SAY THERE WERE STILL PROBLEMS. AS OF TODAY,THEY HAVE AGREED TO BUY THE CAR BACK AND HAVE STARTED THAT PROCESS. CHRYSLER CORP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS BECAUSE I REACHED OUT TO THEM TO HELP FACILITATE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND TO HELP GATHER INFORMATION. UPDATED 11/02/18 *JB

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 2000 MILES ON IT. I AM LEASING IT BRAND NEW. I BOUGHT IT ON JULY 10. ON MONDAY, SEPT 10, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND GOING ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOURS, SUDDENLY THE CAR WENT FROM 45 MPH TO 0 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, I LOSE CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND IT STALLED...IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET. IT W AS FRIGHTENING. I PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF, TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN, TURNED IT OFF AGAIN, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED UP CALLED THE HUSBAND TO SEE IF I SHOULD TRY TO HEAD HOME IN IT OR CALL UBER. WE DECIDED I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HOME TO TRY AGAIN. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN MID DRIVE. I HAD A CAR GOING ABOUT 45 BEHIND ME SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE TO AVOID SMASHING INTO ME. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEE IT HAPPENED ON THEIR SYSTEM AND CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I AM AFRAID SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. I ALSO SEE THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WHEN I SEARCH 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE ENGINE STALL IN MOTION. SO, I HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND DRIVE IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I LEASED A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE ON MAY 23,2018. ON FOUR OCCASIONS SINCE THAT TIME, THE CAR'S BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR STALLS OUT. THE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION WHEN SLOWING DOWN (LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR) THE CAR WAS IN A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL DAYS THIS MONTH, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH. A REVIEW OF INTERNET SITES REVEALS OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM JEEP. I CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AND CERTAINLY ONE THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A NEW CAR.
