ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While stopped @ traffic light or stop signs, when start to go car jumps when gas is applied. Has not been reported to anyone yet, no warning lights displayed. Has not caused accident as of yet. Electrical equipment has had problems since came off lot.@ times usb ports work @different times.it says to connect device every time even when it's plugged in already, I'm not sure if jumping is motor or transmission. I was told by dealership ( salesman) that the problem with USB problem was ok. I'm afraid it may cause safety issues in the future ( jerking engine).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I HAVE RECEIVED WARNINGS ON MY DASH SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW. AUTO STOP START CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION . PARKING BRAKE DEPLOYS ITSELF AND SOME DAYS THE STEEP WON'T TURN ON AND TOUCH SCREEN DOESN'T WORK. SINCE ALL THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING AND NOT AT DEALERSHIP THEY INSIST IT DOESN'T OCCUR AND HAVEN'T REPAIRED EVEN AFTER KEEPING MY VEHICLE IN THEIR SHOP FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS I OWNED IT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, SO I TOOK IT TO LIBERTY JEEP IN LIBERTYVILLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DO A PCM REPROGRAM AND THAT IT WILL NOW BURN 1 QUART OF OIL PER EVERY 1000 MILES AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO CONTINUE TO TOP OF THE OIL SO THE JEEP DOESN'T SHUT DOWN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SAY. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING LONG DISTANCE ON HIGHWAYS WITH THIS NOW AND WOULD LIKE TO GET OUT OF THIS LEASE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DISCUSS WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY LUCK. OWNER OR MANAGERS DO NOT RETURN ANY EMAILS OR PHONE CALL. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING.

SERVICE LIGHT ON DASH "SVC 4WD" TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME IN 30 MINUTES IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE GONE BAD. 2014-17 HAD A RECALL ON THE SAME ISSUE, AND THEY ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. YOUR 2019 WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS RECALL YET, BUT IT IS GOING TO COST YOUR $3,500 FOR US TO FIX IT. A FULL DIAGNOSES REQUIRES THE TRANSFER CASE TO BE REMOVE AND A TEST TO SEE IF THE GEARS TURN, AND THAT IS A 4.5 HOUR LABOR JOB. THIS WAS NOT DONE, BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY KNEW THE TRANSFER CASE WAS FAULTY. I CALLED JEEP AND OPENED A CASE # 78851829, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS VIN# SENSITIVE AND THE 2019 CHEROKEES HAVE NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL FOR THE 2014-17 YET. SAVE MY RECEIPTS, SO I CAN BE REIMBURST ON THIS MODEL IS ADDED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL" LIGHT COMES ON AND EITHER THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY (EVEN AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND ON) OR THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND WON'T RESTART. WHEN THE CAR WON'T RESTART, YOU CAN'T EVEN PUT THE CAR IN NUETRAL TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE WAY, BUT THE RADIO AND DASHBOARD DO LIGHT UP - ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT IS ON. WITH THE ACCELERATION ISSUE, IF I'M ON THE FREEWAY AND NEED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A CAR OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, I CAN'T - IT'S WAY TOO SLOW. I HAVE TO JUST STAY IN THE SLOW LANE AND BE VERY CAREFUL. I'VE BROUGHT IN TO DEALERSHIPS 4 TIMES FROM NOV 2019 TO MARCH 2021. ONCE THEY JUST TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AND SAID IT WAS FINE BECAUSE IT RESET ITSELF. THE NEXT TIME, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE NEXT TIME THEY REPLACED A SWITCH FOR THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY, THE NEXT THEY SAID THE BATTERY TERMINALS WERE LOOSE AND CORRODED.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING. HAS OCCURRED WELL OVER A DOZEN TIMES. WHILE DRIVING, THERE IS SUDDENLY NO POWER IN THE ENGINE. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THIS IS DUE TO LOW OIL LEVELS. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK OIL AT EVERY FILL UP, SOMETHING I HAVE NOT HAD TO DO SINCE 1979. AT EVERY OIL CHANGE (NOT AT DEALERSHIP), I AM TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE BURNS OIL. AS STATED IN A RECALL PREVIOUSLY:'AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING). THE DANGER ALSO LIES IN THE REPLACEMENT OF OIL WHILE CAR IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD. WE NEED A NEW ENGINE.

SINCE I BOUGHT OUR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE NEW, THE HOOD HAS HAD A BAD FLUTTER. IT FLUTTERS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT SETS OFF THE AUTO STOP/START LIGHT. HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER AT LEAST 6 TIMES AND NO RESOLUTION. IT FLUTTERS SO BAD THAT IT SEEMS THE HOOD IS ACTUALLY GOING TO FLY OPEN. IT REALLY GETS BAD WHEN YOU PASS ANOTHER VEHICHLE.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS IN MAY 2019. 6 MONTHS LATER THE STOP/GO FUNCTION STALLED AND THE CAR TURNED OFF DURING A TURN AT THE LIGHT. I ALMOST GOTTEN REAR ENDED WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK TO GET IT TO TURN ON AGAIN, MIND YOU I AM STILL IN THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR TURNED ON BUT CONTINUALLY DID THAT AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. THE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, I DO NOT KNOW HOW IT HAS 4 OUT OF 5 STARS. THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME STARTING. I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO TURN IT ON. UNTIL RECENTLY, IT JUST WON'T TURN ON ANY LONGER. BATTERY IS FINE. THE STARTER IS NOT DOING ITS JOB. I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED. DON'T KNOW IF IT CAN GET FIXED. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLE AND SEEMS AS THOUGH THEIR CAR IS ALWAYS IN TROUBLE.

MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH THE 2.4L HAS REPEATEDLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING SINCE PURCHASING 4 MONTHS AGO. UPON DOING RESEARCH, I SEE THERE'S BEEN MANY RECALLS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND YEAR AS MINE, HOWEVER MINE IS NOT COVERED. CONSIDERING MY VEHICLE IS ALSO STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND DECELERATING, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT TO BROADEN THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MORE VINS. ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING WHEN SLOWING DOWN BUT STILL IN MOTION. IT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING FOR THE PAST WEEK WHEN DECELERATING.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
I DRIVE A 2019 JEEP GRAND CHAROKEE LATITUDE. I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT LAST MONTH AT A MAJOR INTERSETION AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REARENDED ME WITH MY NEW BORN. OMG THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IF IT JUST SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON. LATER THIS MONTH THE FRONT SUSPENSION STARTED MAKING ALOT OF NOISE. THE CAR HAS 43000 MILES. OBSERVED THE PASSANGER SIDE STRUT MOUNT CLIP THAT KEEP THE STRUT FROM SEPERATING FROM WHEEL WHEEL LOOSE. STRUT FAILED AND CAUSED ISSUES WITH DRIVE TRAIN. CAR IS ON BLOCKS IN MY GARAGE KNOW AWAITING STRUTS AND STRUT MOUNTS. THE JEEP USED A VERY SMALL PLASTIC CLIP TO SECURE THE TOP PART OF THE STRUT, SO IN MY CASE WHEN THE STRUT FAILED, THE CLIP CAME LOOSE AND ALMOST SEPERATED LEAVEING THE TOP OF STRUT UN-ATTACHED TO ANYTHING OMG! THIS A HUG SAFTY ISSUE. WHY HAS NHTSA NOT INVESTIGATED THIS POOR DESIGN. A PLACSTIC CLIP TO HOLD A STRUT THAT IS SUPPORTING THE FRONT END OF A VEHICLE!!.

THIS VEHICLE STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC AND STUTTERS WHEN STARTED. EVEN WHEN THE AUTOSTART BUTTON IS "ON" THE CAR HESITATES AND STALLS FROM STOP TO GO. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT FROM AN INTERSECTION FROM A STOP. THE SUV SMELLS OF BURNING OILS ALL THE TIME. I SET A SERVICE APPT WITH THE DEALER TO ASSESS THE STALLING PROBLEM AND BURNING OIL SMELL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE STALLING WAS FROM THE "ENGINE PERFORMANCE" AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. AS FAR AS THE BURNING OIL SMELL, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE BURNS THROUGH 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1,000 MILES AND I WILL NEED TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE OIL. THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, IT IS THE WAY IT IS MADE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! JEEP HAS NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL.
