WHEN WE PUT OIL IN THE CAR, THE ENGINE SHUTOFF STOPS, BUT IT COMES BACK WITHIN A MONTH. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. HE HAS HAD A NUMBER OF CLOSE CALLS. PLEASE HELP!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
OUR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS JUST OVER 12K MILES. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (DASHBOARD, RADIO SCREEN DISPLAY, AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS) GO BLACK OR DARK GREY, AND WE HAVE NOTHING DISPLAYED - SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, CLIMATE CONTROLS, MESSAGES, OR ANY OTHER SAFETY INFORMATION. WE ARE JUST DRIVING ALONG, AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER JUST QUITS WORKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW. THREE TIMES THE DISPLAY CAME BACK ON AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, ONCE AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND RESTARTING, WHILE ONE OTHER TIME IT DID NOT WORK AGAIN UNTIL WE STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE WE ARE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY VITAL INFORMATION. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR JEEP TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS WHO DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES DISPLAYED. THEY STATED WE WOULD NEED THE JEEP AT THEIR DEALERSHIP INDEFINITELY AND THEY WOULD NEED TO DRIVE IT EVERY DAY UNTIL IT HAPPENED WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE EVEN POINTED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIPS THAT THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON 2019 JEEP CHEROKEES FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILING, BUT THEY SAID OURS WAS NOT ONE OF THE JEEPS IN THE RECALL. IF YOU GOOGLE "2019 JEEP CHEROKEE DASHBOARD DISPLAY PROBLEMS" OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, YOU WILL FIND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK RANDOMLY SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL. NOT SPECIFIC TO SPEED, CLIMATE OR TERRAIN. COMMONLY OCCURS DURING REDUCING AND ACCELERATION SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING THE RPM WILL RISE SIGNIFICANTLY RESULTING IN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO ENGAGE AND A P061B TROUBLE CODE. CONTINUED ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE RESULTS IN CONSISTENT ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (DUE TO THE P061B). AIR FILTER IS CLEAN WITH NO ADDITIONAL OBSTRUCTIONS. WHEEL/TIRE SIZE ARE AT FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AND ARE ORIGINAL TO THE VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION REGAINS TRACTION WHEN VEHICLE COASTS TO 10 - 15 MPH. WITH THE "TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE" THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. AGAIN THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING, SOUNDS, OR PHYSICAL JOLT OR ABNORMAL MOVEMENT WHILE DRIVING.

JAN (2X) & 3X THE FRST WEEK IN FEB. EXPRESSED CONCERNS BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TOLD ON NUMEROUS DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THAT IT WAS GOOD TO GO& ONCE I DRIVE IT I WOULD FEEL SO CONFIDENT, BECAUSE HE ALREADY TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE. BUT I NEEDED TO BRING BACK OIL CHANGE IN ABOUT 300 MILES AND THEN THEY'LL DO ANOTHER TEST TO SEE IF THAT IS ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH 29 MILES FROM YOUR DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO BE WORRIED ABOUT VEHICLE ISSUES ESPECIALLY SINCE MY BOTH MY DAUGHTERS ARE LEARNING TO DRIVE IN THIS VEHICLE. MY 15 YEAR OLD PREGNANT DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICLE MORE THAN I DO BECAUSE I'M AT THE OFFICE AND SHE RUNS MY ERRANDS AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE EVEN ALLOWING THEM TO BE A PASSENGER LET ALLOW DRIVE IT TO AND FROM THEIR PRACTICES WHEN I HAVE TO WORK. WELL, I WAS REASSURED AGAIN JUST TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE (300 MILES AWAY) IN MOTION RECALL ID#: 286936

POWER TRAIN
2019 JEEP CHEROKEE IS DOING EVERYTHING THAT THE POWER TRAIN RECALL WAS LISTED FOR IN 2018 BUT THIS VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS BROKE DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAVE EVEN BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY JUST TO FIND OUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE MOST RECENT TIME IT BROKE DOWN IT WAS STATIONARY, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ACROSS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE FLASHED LIKE THAT BEFORE WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AND CITY.
