2014 Jeep Cherokee Engine Problems

Follow up of complaint tracking # 11665800 and 11667793. My Cherokee 2014 has DTC U0402 since 2018. Jeep does not want to do a recall for change of transmission for my car. Jeep wants to charge me $11000 for this repair, despite DTC was evident when the car was under warranty, and Jeep told me not to worry about it. Delaware Motor vehicle has given me a tag that will expire on 07/24/25, and DMV does not want to give me more extensions, DMV has told me clearly that IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR, AND IT NEEDS REPAIR. If NHTSA is not able to get a recall for my car before 07/19/25, I will have to sell my car for a very low price to Jeep, despite that my car is in very good condition and 27,509 miles. Jeep has not been honest with me since 2018 about DTC U0402, Jeep told me not to worry about it because the "code was stored but inactive". Jeep got advantage of my ignorance in this issue.

This is an addendum to complain number 11665800 I would like NHTSA do a recall for the transmission of my Jeep Cherokee 2014. I read an Article by Clifford Atiyeh, published on 07/08/2019 titled: Jeep recalls 2014 Cherokee again as ZF Nine-Speed Transmission Problems continue. I did not get this recall. 1-I bought the car new on 05/2014 2-Meggee Service Advisor Thomas Heck (phone 302-856-0064, Georgetown, Delaware) knew that my car was showing engine light on and code U0402, receipt dated 09/04/2018. At this time my car was under warranty, and technician did not do anything about it, despite DTC was there after performing recall U63. The Jeep technician told me not to worry about it. 3-Receipt dated 08/23/2019, , got recall V69. DTC U0402 was there. 4-Receipt dated 09/30/2022, my car got replacement of primary fuel pump. Car showed DTC U0402 again, and technician wrote "unrelated code", and told me not to worry. 5-Receipt dated 05/30/2025, I took my car to Jeep technician, because my car failed DMV inspection for DTC U4402 (Jeep code U0402). This time Jeep Service Technician said that because of this code U0402, the car needed a change of transmission, and it cost $11000. Receipt dated 06/06/2025, I took my car to DMV Pre-certified Technician, and he also told me the car needed a change of transmission, cost $11,232 6-I complained to Megee because Jeep technician knew about this problem with code U0402 since 2018, when the car was under warranty, and they told me not to worry about it, and now Jeep has the responsibility of changing the transmission for free. 7-I contacted Jeep Customer Care (877-426-5337) complaint #[XXX]. Representative told me that the problem had to be resolved directly with Megee Motor (Georgetown, Delaware), because it was its problem. 8-Megee Supervisor Tom Hecks told us that he needed authorization from Jeep Customer Care to change the transmission of the Cherokee. At the end, Jeep customer care and Megee are playing ping-pong with me INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving on the highway at 35 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power. The contact attempted to depress the accelerator pedal; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact pulled over to the side of the roadway to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was restarted, and the battery warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving. The local dealer was not contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 220,000.

When I made an appointment at an authorized dealer and took it in they said I must wait for parts. They put me on a waiting list. During the waiting period my car started to get a check engine light and over heating warnings which the recall clearly states it’s been recalled from over heating. I contacted the dealer who said they didn’t have a loaner for me and they will contact me when the parts come in. All of a sudden the check engine light went off and the car was ok. Finally the parts came on and we took it right away to be serviced. A week after picking it up it started doing the same thing. I had emails going back and forth with service who claims it wasn’t due to the recall. During this I had a salesman call me to ask me to trade it in and when I said no he said, “Good luck with service.” Sarcastically. Finally they told me that they were emailing Jeep awaiting a response. But before this when they thought I would trade it in they were extremely happy. When I decided not to everything changed. My husband who didn’t trust them asked me to have it towed out of the dealer so I did. The car was drivable and no warning lights. Then a day later it starts giving warnings again. The car is now sitting in my garage. If you start it up and drive it the check engine light is on and the thermometer shows the temp going all the way up. I have re-opened my case that Jeep closed on me thinking the car was fixed. It has not been. The car still shows warning engine lights and overheating. It has not been fixed and the recall still stands unrepaired.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine overheated with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted but the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed, but it was stated by the dealer that the engine was repaired. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed as a failure with the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted and notified of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000. The VIN was not available.

While driving the vehicle will shift into neutral while saying it’s in drive. Then alert driver via display center on dashboard to “shift to P then desired gear”. The engine will completely shut off. Put into park, crank the engine, shift into drive then it will drive again.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact received notification of Emissions Recall U90 Catalyst Efficiency; however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH exiting his driveway, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and park the vehicle back in his driveway. The contact stated that when he turned the vehicle off, the vehicle did restart but would not remain running. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed with a failed battery and a failed alternator. The contact was informed that the battery and the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred. The dealer informed the contact that the electrical wiring harness was the cause of the failure. The contact was informed that the electrical wiring harness needed to be replaced. The contact stated that he purchased the parts for the electrical wiring harness replacement. The contact stated that the dealer then informed him that the electrical wiring harness was not the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Vehicle stalls/doesn’t start when gas tank is full. This has happened while driving.

Check engine light came on, so I took it to my mechanic. Cylinder 1 is bad. The vehicle has 75000 miles and the engine needs to be replaced or at minimum cylinder one has to be repaired. Very expensive repair. I have done regular maintenance and still have an engine problem. I thought the engine would be good for at least 300000.

On March 7th 2023, I was driving my Jeep Cherokee on NY 96A in 55 mpa traffic, saw the check engine light turn on briefly, the engine seized at this speed, started chugging, and nearly had a traffic accident given the abrupt engine failure. In addition, while I was able to get to the side of the road, the car was stuck protruding off from the shoulder into the lane, the engine would not start to move the car, and it was a very unsafe situation given poor visibility at dusk. At 91,000 miles, it seems very strange to have experienced engine failure that ultimately resulted in a $6,785 repair bill at Maguire Jeep/Chrysler dealer in Ithaca, NY (VVA assembly needed to be replaced, broken valve spring in cylinder 4, roller spun and wedged in camshaft causing lobe damage, VVAA collapsed causing loose rocker and damaging head, valve and camshaft. Cylinder head needed to be rebuilt). This vehicle has had other serious problems in the past prior to this incident including a malfunctioning parking brake in 2020 that resulted in my 6 year old son and I stranded, unable to drive while we baked in the 90+ degree heat, a very costly broken 4wd module replacement 2021, and multiple breakdowns due to starter issues/needing starter to be rebuilt (2022 2x).

My car is a 2014 jeep cherokee TRAILHAWK the I bought a few mint ago at a keep dealer and after I bought the car 1000 miles later the car broke down due to a problem with the transmission, I took it back to the dealer and they didn’t wanted to fix it at first … after arguing with them for a couple of hours they resided to fix it and only made me pay for the part … after they supposedly fix it the car started giving me more problems and the dealer and the dealer didn’t wanted to fix it anymore

For the last 12-months I have been dealing with the vehicle stalling after filling it up. It first started a year ago and was sporadic but for the last 6-months it has been happening every time I fill up. This is a very dangerous situation to be driving down the road to have the vehicle suddenly stall out. The last time this happened was on Saturday, 2/11/23 and I spent the day fighting a stalling vehicle. Since 2020 the check engine light sporadically comes on. Supposedly there is a small evap leak. After looking into this earlier today I discovered this is a well known issue with all Jeep vehicles. Seeing how this seems to be a manufacturer issue the consumer should not have to keep paying out to fix what was not done right to begin with. Please look into both of these concerns.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would lose motive power and stall without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was initially informed that the vehicle needed a new battery; however, despite a battery replacement, the failure persisted. The contact returned to the dealer and was given an estimate for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 700.

Similar to NTSB 11504810, when I fill up with gas, my jeep stalls out and dies. I don't lose accessories or anything, I lose engine power. My battery like comes on and my dash says "battery voltage low" "put car into park and then desired gear" it takes a few tries to get it started again and it will buck like it wants to stall out or it dies again completely while I'm driving. Also there are times it is rough changing gears (jerky).

Recently, after evertime I fill up with gas, my jeep stalls out and dies. I don't lose accessories or anything, I lose engine power. My battery like comes on and my dash says "battery voltage low" "put car into park and then desired gear" it takes a few tries to get it started again and it will buck like it wants to stall out or it dies again completely while I'm driving!

The contact owns 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that after refueling, while driving 5-10 MPH, the vehicle shut off inadvertently. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred several times while driving after refueling the vehicle. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the powertrain control module indicated a catalytic convertor failure due to the inner part of the catalytic converter being missing. The catalytic converter was replaced; however, while driving after refueling, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle hesitated to respond and made an abnormally loud sound. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle. The contact was able to continue driving. The contact became aware of Chrysler Campaign Number (Powertrain Control Module). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for a software update. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who completed the software update; however, the check engine warning light illuminated a year and three months later. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,245.

It appears there is a problem with the engine oil cooler part that jeep need to fix so customers do not need to worry about oil leaks due to poor manufacturing of plastic parts Oil cooler fix is not cheap and why they put plastic parts near an engine that gets hot.

After filling up the gas tank the engine stalls at stop light. I must quickly place car in park and restart the engine. This happens multiple times as I drive home. Then as I start driving again the engine seems to be hesitant and feels like it is "bucking" me. After the first time this happened it seemed to go away after fuel level in tank went down. When I filled the tank again the problem reappeared. This has happened twice to me. This is really a life threatening hazard.

It is well known on Jeep Cherokees from 2014 forward use plastic oil filter housings instead of metal. Plastic part in this heated area causes failure and leakage of oil into exhaust manifold. This problem is so prevalent that all Jeep dealers and other repair shops know that Chrysler Jeep Dodge can’t even keep up the demand for the part replacement, AND still they do not make it out of metal. This problem is well known and costs $ 1000 - 1300 to repair. Why is NHTSA not forcing Jeep to recall all the Jeeps with problems and replace the oil filter housing with a metal product !! This is abuse to loyal Jeep owners, with a known problem which all participants are aware of, but no one is holding Jeep accountable !

ACCELERATION AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN I PUT ON THE BRAKES THE CAR ACCELERATES AND TRYING TO GET ON EXPRESSWAY ITS A LONG TIME BEFORE THE CAR CAN GO FULL POTENTIAL. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON UNEXPECTED. I DONT FELL SAFE WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON AT ANY GIVIN TIME. IF I BRAKE AFTER I LET GO OF BRAKE CAR ACCELERATES AND GOING ON A CURVE IS THE SAME AND ITS VERY SCARY. I TOOK TO DEALER FOR RECALL AND THEY UPDATED NODULE FOR GEARS I WENT BACK AND THEY DID UPDATE ON TRANSMISSION NODULE. GOT THE CAR BACK 2 DAYS AGO THE FIRST DAY IT STARTED AGAIN ON ACCELERATION AFTER BRAKING. THE 3RD DAY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HOW CAN THEY SELL A JEEP LIKE THIS MY LIFE IS VALUABLE AND I DONT FEEL SAFE. I DONT TRY MY CAR FAR SCARED IF I GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT AND I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 6MONTHS BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH LITERALLY EVERYDAY TO FIX THE ISSUE AND NOONE IS DOING ANYTHING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. IT HAS BEEN INSPECTED 4 TIMES AND THEY CANT FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NO WARNING TILL 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE THEN ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF.

Car stalls out after fueling

When the fuel tank is filled, to the first click off of the pump. The vehicle will stall, sputter, and is hard to accurate. The dealer has all ready replaced the fuel tank, evap line, and a puger valve, but still has the same problems. I have almost getting rear ended when it stalls a couple of times. Still has been going on for 2+ year. Vehicle drives fine after 30ish miles after filling it up.

OME Oil Filter Housing is made of plastic and it cracked, causing the Jeep to leak oil. This is a common issue with the 3.2L and 3.6L jeep motors. So common that the original part has been discontinued and replaced with one made of metal. That fact that Jeep has discontinued the original part and replaced it with a better one should be grounds for a recall and be covered my Jeep. Instead I have to pay $200 for the part and because of the labor required to replace the part, my total bill is almost $1000.

Oil filter housing is leaking oil onto the engine and dripping on the ground leaving puddles. This is a problem with the 3.2 engine and the 3.6 engine. There are thousands of these engines on the road doing the same thing . Oil Filter Housing Defective.

The oil filter adapter has cracked due to it being a plastic housing. Cold weather speeds up the process. The oil filter adapter also has a small torque tolerance for the cap that will also break the housing. This is available for inspection upon request. The safety concern is that the oil leaks out on top of the motor then down the sides and onto the exhaust below causing emission tests to fail. My dealer mentioned this is common but nothing official. The component has not been inspected by police or insurance. The dash indicators don’t come on till enough oil leaks out to display low oil level.

In the middle of driving the car engine will turn off/shut down flashing that the transmission needs to be serviced, place the car in Park. Once in park, the car will struggle to turn back on. This has happened on freeways, stoplights, turns. I have had it serviced twice now with no resolution. This becomes a safety issue because it puts myself, and others on the road in danger if the car comes to an unexpected stop. There is no light that turns on until the moment the car begins to shut down. The Transmission light will stay on for the remainder of that drive. Once the car has been off for a small amount of time, the light will not appear again until it has another episode.

Vehicle's transmission has shifting issues. Car doesnt like to go when gas pedal pressed, stutters shifting erratically and bucking forward. Does it every time is it is driven.

Transmission error P1DCD caused car to get stuck in neutral and became undriveable. Had to pull over on highway, shut vehicle off, and wait several minutes before the transmission started working again. This has happened multiple times. Jeep service center repairs don’t fix issue.

Oil leak at oil filter housing causing oil to leak on hot engine components and leave oil on ground below vehicle.

Every time I fill my vehicle up it stalls 3 or 4 times In the middle of traffic

THE UPPER COOLANT HOSE BROKE AT THE PLASTIC CONNECTION. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T REPLACE IT NEEDED A WHOLE DIFFERENT PART DUE TO IT BREAKING ON ALOT OF VEHICLES.

SIGNIFICANT LEAK IN OIL FILTER HOUSING DUE TO PLASTIC MATERIAL. MOPAR REPLACEMENT FILTER HOUSING IS BACKORDERED AND IS CURRENTLY ON THE 7TH REVISION (PARTNUM ENDS IN AF). MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM. LEAKING OIL ON PAVEMENT WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. OIL CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO OTHERS ON ROAD AND PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED PRODUCT AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS.

SIGNIFICANT LEAK IN OIL FILTER HOUSING DUE TO PLASTIC MATERIAL. MOPAR REPLACEMENT FILTER HOUSING IS BACKORDERED AND IS CURRENTLY ON THE 7TH REVISION (PARTNUM ENDS IN AF). MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM. LEAKING OIL ON PAVEMENT WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. OIL CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO OTHERS ON ROAD AND PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW.

THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER AND OIL COOLER DEVELOPS A SIGNIFICANT OIL LEAK THAT CAUSES OIL PRESSURE AND DRIVING PERFORMANCE TO DROP PRECIPITOUSLY AND MAKES THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. THE NEEDED PART IS SIGNIFICANTLY BACKORDERED. IN SPEAKING WITH DEALERSHIPS AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS IT IS A COMMON REPAIR. AT SPEED ON HIGHWAYS, THIS ISSUE CAN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND PUT DRIVERS IN HARMS WAY.

OIL FILTER HOUSING LEAKS DUE TO PLASTIC MATERIAL USED IN CREATION OF PART. MAJOR ISSUE SINCE OIL SPILLS OUT ONTO THE ROADS. TRIED TO REPAIR BUT PART IS BACK ORDERED INDEFINITELY BECAUSE IT'S A MAJOR ISSUE WITH OTHER MODELS TOO.

I HAVE AN OIL LEAK IN MY CARD. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AND IT WAS FOUND THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MANY MANY JEEPS HAVE THE EXACT SOME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A BACK ORDER OF OVER 40K AND I WOULD HAVE TO WANT UP TO 6 MONTHS UNTIL I HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVE. JEEP HAS NOT RECALLED THE PART. JEEP CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THE PART WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE. THEY HAVE NO EFFORTS TO HELP ME REMEDY THE SITUATION AT ALL, I.E., OFFER A LOANER CAR, TAKE TRADE IN, OR EVEN EXPLAIN HOW THEY ARE GOING EXPEDITE THE SITUATION. I'VE CONTACTED MY JEEP CERTIFIED DEALER WHICH ONLY TOLD TO CONTACT CORPORATE. I'M FILING THIS COMPLIANT BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO ME JEEP HAS A MAJOR MANUFACTURING ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS AND HAVE TAKEN NO STEPS TO CORRECT OR HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS IN ANY WAY.

THE OIL COOLER IS CRACKED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER IT COULD BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THEY TOLD ME THERE ARE OVER 24,000 OIL COOLERS ON BACKORDER. LOOKING ONLINE ON JEEP CHEROKEE FORUMS MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. WE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT THE ENGINE TEMP KEPT FLUCTUATING AND THE COOLANT WAS LOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF OIL DETECTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS LEAKING. THE CONTACT CALLED FOX CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (346 GRANT AVENUE RD, AUBURN, NY 13021, (315) 252-7273) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,281.

WHEN DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE VEHICLE THEN STARTS DRIVING VERY ROUGH SHAKING THE WHOLE CAR AND IT HAS REDUCED POWER.

AFTER SPENDING $1,400 DEC 2020 AT THE PUTNAM, CT, JEEP, DODGE, DEALERSHIP, ON THE NEW SHIFT, $300 BEING SOFTWARE UPDATE, AND HVAC ISSUE........NOW MY VEHICLE JUST SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE SHUT DOWN HAPPENS FIVE MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME, RIGHT IN THE SAME SPOT, EVERY DAY. ONCE IT SHUTS DOWN, I AM STUCK THERE, WAIT A MINUTE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT BEGINS TO START IN A STRAINED SORT OF WAY. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA SO NOT TOO BAD AND NOW I DO NOT LEAVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE HUGE HILL SIDE SEEING THERE IS MORE TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL BE STUCK ON THAT HILL WHICH IS A MAIN TRAFFIC STREET. THIS ENGINE TURNING OFF HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TAKE THE CAR OUT IN THE MORNING. SEEMS LESS IF I WARM IT UP FIRST AND DRIVE REALLY SLOW AS THIS HAS HAPPENED BEGINNING OF JANUARY 2021 AND I AM TRYING TO DEAL WITH IT. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN (NOT WORKING) SO I GO ON ERRANDS OR APPTMTS IN THE MORNING. BEGAN JAN 4TH 2021 AND CONTINUES.

THIS YEAR JEEP WAS EQUIPPED WITH A PLASTIC ENGINE OIL COOLER HOUSING THAT IS EASILY CRACKED WHEN THE OIL IS CHANGED. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT TWICE, AND IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. DUE TO SIGNIFICANT OIL LEAKS AND LOSS OF OIL IN THE ENGINE, I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER AUTO SERVICE CENTER THEY TOLD ME THE "LIFTERS" IN THE ENGINE ARE NOW 'TAPPING' PROBABLY FROM LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE, AND THE COST TO REPLACE BOTH THE ENGINE OIL COOLER HOUSING, AND THE LIFTERS WILL BE ANOTHER $1,900. I'M STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND PUTTING A PLASTIC PART ON AN ENGINE KNOWING THAT HOT OIL TRAVEL THROUGH IT????

OIL FILTER HOUSING IS LEAKING OIL, COULD BE A FIRE ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO JUMP INTO NEUTRAL MODE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, LOSING POWER IN SPEED WHILE CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING. FIRST NOTICE IN 2017, GETTING PROGRESSIVE WORST.

MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ACCELERATING AND/OR TURNING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DESCRIBED IT AS FOLLOWS "THE STALLING IS A SAFETY FEATURE WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW". THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS VERY LOW. THIS IS A REPEATED PROBLEM AND HAPPENS BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED 5000 MILES OIL CHANGE FREQUENCY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE "OIL LIFE" SCREEN SAID I HAD 28% OIL LIFE LEFT ( I HAD BEEN FOLLOWING IT TO AVOID STALLING OUT UNEXPECTEDLY.... WHICH DIDN'T HELP AND I ONCE AGAIN STALLED AT A RED LIGHT IN TRAFFIC). MY MAIN SAFETY CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO INDICATOR LIGHT FOR LOW OIL, AND THE FIRST INDICATION IS MY CAR STALLING OUT IN TRAFFIC WHICH COULD CAUSE A WRECK. THIS CAN'T BE SAFE NOR MEET SAFETY GUIDELINES/REQUIREMENTS. MY SECOND CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT MY ENGINE IS BURNING OFF THAT MUCH OIL SO QUICKLY (VERIFIED TO HAVE NO LEAKS IN THE SYSTEM). WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE STATING THEY ALSO HAD NO INDICATION EXCEPT FOR THE SUDDEN STALLING OUT. I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FULLY INVESTIGATED AS A SAFETY CONCERN. IT SEEMS TO HAVE AT LEAST ENOUGH OF A CASE TO BE A LAWSUIT IN TWO STATES (CALIFORNIA AND MICHIGAN) AT THE TIME OF ME WRITING THIS- SEP2020.

I NEED TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR AT LEAST TWO TIMES IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. MY CAR HAS STOPPED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN I TURN BECAUSE IT RAN OUT OF OIL. THE ENGINE BURNS OIL SO FAST. I DON'T DRIVE THAT MUCH. THIS IS EXPENSIVE AND VERY VERY DANGEROUS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED. WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IT WOULD DRIP OIL. WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING IT WOULD SPRAY OIL ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

THE CAR STARTED LEAKING COOLANT. THE RADIATOR HOSE AND SEAMS ON THE RADIATOR WERE LEAKING WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO OVERHEAT.

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH IS CIRCUIT IS MALFUNCTION. (OBD FAULT CODE P0520 ) KEEPS ON GOING ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN OFF FOR FOR A FEW DAYS. EVEN RIGHT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE PERFORMED BY THE DEALER. THIS HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR ABOUT THE PAST 2 YEARS. APPROX. $400 TO REPAIR AND THE PART COST ON $40-$60.

ENGEN LIGHT IS ON, OIL LIGHT IS ON. OIL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING.I AM TOLD THE SENSOR IS CAUSING ALL OF THIS AND A $ 600.00 REPAIRED REQUIRED, BUT NOT GARETIED TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM. ?? THE LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER I GOT AN OIL CHANGE , WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. ALSO THE LIGHT INDICATOR ON SHIFTER POSITION LIGHT UP ALL POSITIONS.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN OVER TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON. COOLANT LEAK CAUSE BY RUBBING ON COOLANT OVERFLOW LINE. POOR DESIGN OF ENGINE COMPONENTS.

OIL PRESSURE SENSOR KEEP GOING OUT.

WHEN FIRST PURCHASED VEHICLE PROBLEM WERE IT ACTING LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING UP THE SPEED NOW AGAIN IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID BEFORE WITH THE STALLING AND ACTING LIKE IT DON'T WANT TO RUN. THE GEAR THROTTERS AND THE VEHICLE RUNS VERY SLOW WAS IN TRAFFIC AND WAS SO AFRAID SOMEONE W AS GOING TO RUN INTO ME CAUSE ALL A SUDDEN THE JEEP STARTED STALLING AND NOT MOVING AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT THEN WOULD PUT UP SPEED THIS IS VERY UNSAFE IM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE BECAUSE OF THE STALLING AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT KEEP COMING ON CHECK TRANSMISSION I HAVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP TWICE WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD AND IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM FIRST THEY SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION SECONDLY A WEEK OR LESS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN I TOOK IT BACK THEY SAID PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN IT THE SAME PROBLEM I ASKED JEEP WAS THERE A RECALL ON THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE IF SO IT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIX BEFORE IT CAUSES A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. IM SO AFRAID IF THERE'S A SOLUTION THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED IF JEEP BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE 2014 JEEP CHEROKEES . ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE 4 YEARS AND I KEEP IT SERVICE .THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED OVER A WEEK AGO BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WAS FEARFUL.GETTING A WARNING PUT GEAR IN PARK CUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART WHEN DID IT CONTINUE TO STALLING AND WOULD NOT SWITCH IN DRIVE MOTION. *TR

MY CAR SOMETIMES STALL WHEN I STOP THEN TAKES AN EXTENDED TIME TO RESTART. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2012 FOR THE FUEL PUMP SENSOR NOT SURE IF I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

STALLING, WHEN VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP OR SLOWS DOWN IT STALLS AND HARD TO START. *TR

THE VEHICLE SWITCHES GEARS TO NEURAL AND TURNS THE VEHICLE OFF. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN THE VEHICLE STALLED TURNING THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF MAKING ME RESTART THE VEHICLE IN THIS FASHION: (STEP ON BREAK, SWITCH GEAR INTO PARK AND RESTART) LOTS OF ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION SKIPPING. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I GOT IT FROM A DEALER ONLY BEEN THE OWNER FOR ABOUT A YEAR SEEMS LIKE VEHICLE KEEPS GETTING WORSE. *TR

OIL WAS LEAKING, JEEP WAS TAKEN TO KLEYN AUTO, KLEYN AUTO TOLD ME THE OIL ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED, DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL LEAKING. A NEW OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS INSTALLED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $631.01

ENGINE OIL COOLER DRIPPING OIL ONTO EXHAUST CREATING (POSSIBLE) FIRE HAZARD. THE LOCAL DEALER HAD THIS PART IN STOCK. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS OF 2014 CHEROKEES WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM.

EVERY TIME GAS IS ADDED TO THE TANK THE JEEP STALLS OUT AT STOP LIGHTS. A MESSAGE APPEARS ABOUT PUTTING IT IN PARK AND THEN PICKING A GEAR. IT IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AGAIN. THE HAPPENED ON A BUSY ROAD AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND AT EVERY STOP SIGN AND EVEN WHILE SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN.*DT *LN CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE SUDDEN STALL ISSUE AT LEAST 2 YEARS BUT DID NOT NOTIFY THE OWNER AND RECALLED NUMEROUS TIMES.*JB *LN*JB

NOTICED OIL DRIPPING SO TOOK JEEP (2014 JEEP CHEROKEE) IN TO LOOK TO SEE IF OIL FILTER WAS PUT ON CORRECTLY. MECHANIC SAID OIL EVERYWHERE, SHOWED ME POOL OF OIL SITTING UNDER FILTER ALL OVER ENGINE PARTS. HE DE-GREASED ENGINE AND FOUND THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HAD I NOT NOTICED, ENGINE COULD HAVE HEATED UP AND CAUSED ENGINE FIRE! ONE JEEP BLOGS, MANY EPLE INDICATE SAME ISSUE WITH POOR PART. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HOUSING CRACKING EVEN ON 5 YEAR OLD CAR THAT WAS $35K.

VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY BOGS DOWN AND SOMETIMES STALLS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND CONDITIONS. SOMETIMES THIS WILL OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AND SOMETIMES IT WILL GO DAYS, EVEN WEEKS WITHOUT REOCCURRING. THE JEEP DEALER KEPT CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS SAID SEVERAL TEST DRIVES FOUND NO PROBLEM AND THE DIAGNOSTICS AND ONBOARD COMPUTER CODES WERE NORMAL. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY VARY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IF TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE OR TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE. THE PROBLEM IS REPORTED ALL THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET BUT NOTHING IN RECALLS. ALL RECALLS ON THIS VIN HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

MY JEEP SPUTTERS AND DIES AFTER GAS FILL UP. VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM AND HAS SCARED MY FAMILY AS TRUCKS BARE DOWN ON US AS WE ARE STALLED IN THE ROAD UNABLE TO GET CAR TO RESTART. ABOUT 1 TO 3 MILES AFTER FILL UP THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS UNTIL NEXT GAS FILL. PLEASE ISSUE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IN MOTION CAR IS SPUTTERING AND UNABLE TO GAIN SPEED. ONCE AT A STOP CAR IMMEDIATELY DIES LOCKING ALL POWER FUNCTIONS AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED SPILLING OIL ON TOP OF MOTOR VERY COMMON PROBLEM FIRE HAZARD PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED FROM PLASTIC TO METAL NOTICED OIL ALL OVER ENGINE BURNING SMELL WHEN DRIVING AND PARKED

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, JEEP WILL UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES. ACCELERATING AND PUMPING GAS TO KEEP IT RUNNING WILL SPEED THE PROCESS OF RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION. GAS IS NEVER OVERFILLED. ONCE PUMP SHUTS OFF NO ADDITIONAL FUEL IS ADDED AT PUMP. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CHARGED OVER 900 TO REPLACE THE ECM. PROBLEM REPEATED ON NEXT FILL UP. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDELY REPORTED ON THE INTERNET EVEN THOUGH DEALERSHIP DENIES ANY KNOWLEDGE OF PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT OIL LEAKED ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ANCHORAGE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 2601 E 5TH AVE, ANCHORAGE, AK 99501, PHONE NUMBER: 907-276-1331) WAS CONTACTED IN AN ATTEMPT TO PURCHASE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,600.

AFTER REFUELING, MY WIFE STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUTOFF WITH OUT WARNING. THE SCREEN IN THE CAR SAID TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN IN DRIVE. THE CAR THEN START WITH OUT PUSHING THE START BUTTON. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE SAME DAY SO SHE DROVE TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. JEEP SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS OVER FILLED. MY WIFE ALWAYS STOPS PUTTING WHEN THE PUMP HANDLE CLICKS OFF. THEY HAVE HAD HER CAR FOR OVER 30 DAYS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO NEW PUMPS AVAILABLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME. HER CAR HAS ONLY 36,500 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND JEEP IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT.

ENGINE OIL COOLER LEAKING. CAR HAS 69000 MILES AND THE PLASTIC ENGINE OIL COOLER MOUNTED ON THE ENGINE BLOCK IS LEAKING. SEALS ARE BAD BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THE PART. MULTIPLE 2014 CHEROKEES HAVE THIS ISSUE. KNOWN ISSUE FOR LOCAL DEALER. SIGNIFICANT FLUID BUILDUP UNDER THE CAR AND MONTHLY NEED TO REFILL OIL WITH ISSUE.

THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER LEAKS OIL, CAUSING IT TO POOL ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. FIRE HAZARD! THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR ME, AND A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS MANY CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES.

FOUND OIL LEAKING FROM ENGIN IN MY DRIVE WAY. TOOK TO GARAGE WHO CHANGED OIL THAY CHECKED CAR . FOUND OIL FILTER HOUSING LEAKING OIL . I WENT ON LINE AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN 2014.JEEP CHANGED THIS PART FROM METAL TO PLASTIC ON THE3 .3 V6 ENGIN I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON 11/26/2019 AT ISLAND JEEP ON STATEN ISLAND N.Y AT 10 AM THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR AROUND 800 DOLLARS MY ISSUE IS AFTER FIXING IT IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN . BECAUSE THE PLASTIC MATERIAL USED TO MAKE PART IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE HIGH TEMP ON MANIFOLD WHEAR IT ATTACHES TO ENGIN .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE OIL PUMP SENSOR, OIL PUMP, AND BRAKES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP (9208 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619, (813) 235-4700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME STUCK IN SAFE MODE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE CODE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,200.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT TO HAVE A OIL LEAK CHECKED OUT. WAS SHOWN THE PROBLEM AND WAS QUOTED A REPAIR PRICE OF $850. I LATER BEGAN INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM WHEN THE TECHNICIAN STATED IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE NHTSA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE ISSUE; SB-10058301-5939. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE RISK, WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.

MY CAR DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK, SLOW BUT STEADY, AND AFTER TAKING IT IN TO BE CHECKED WE LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A LARGE CRACK IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY. THIS ALONG WITH UPPER AND LOWER GASKETS, WILL NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $500-900. THIS PIECE IS PLASTIC, SO IS EASY TO CRACK IF THE FILTER IS OVER TIGHTENED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH SOMETHING STURDIER.

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STALLS OUT. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BUT A GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE LEAVING PEOPLE STRANDED IN DANGEROUS PLACES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SHUDDERED. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 700 FEET, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FREEDOM CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM BY ED MORSE (815 E CAMP WISDOM RD, DUNCANVILLE, TX 75116) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY AAA TO THE DEALER FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE STILL COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,700.

2014 JEEP CHEROKEE~50K MILES: BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM DEALERSHIP AND EXCLUSIVELY DEALER MAINTAINED...A YEAR AGO 2 THINGS SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED HAPPENING TO MY JEEP. 1-AS I WOULD SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP MY CAR WOULD SHUT OFF, STALL OUT. 2-AS I WAS DRIVING MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WOULD START FLASHING AND THE JEEP WOULD NOT RUN RIGHT. I WOULD PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WOULD HAPPEN AFTER 5 MILES OF DRIVING, OTHER TIMES I WOULD GO OVER 100 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD APPROXIMATELY 25% REMAINING ON MY OIL LIFE CYCLE-LAST OIL CHANGE LESS THAN 6MONTHS/5000 MILES. I TESTED THE BATTERY AND A FEW THINGS BEFORE I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALER SAID MY OIL LEVEL WAS DANGEROUSLY LOW AND I NEED A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING. THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND FUEL CLEANING, ASKED ME TO COME BACK AFTER DRIVING 1000 MILES FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY SAID THE RESULT OF THE TEST WAS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. A YEAR LATER, AGAIN AROUND 20% OIL LIFE REMAINING-LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AND LESS THAN 5000 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE I AM GETTING THE SAME SYMPTOMS-ALL THREE LIGHTS COMING ON, CAR STALLED ON SEPARATE OCCASION. WILL BE BRINGING BACK TO DEALER THIS WEEK, HOWEVER THIS CAR HAS RECEIVED ALL OIL CHANGES BY DEALER WITHIN THE PROPER TIME AND I TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE CAR- THIS SEEMS A BIT DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. IT AFFECTS MY COMMUTE TO WORK, CHILD CARE, TIME, ETC.

ON SOME OCCASIONS WHEN I GET GAS MY VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY STOP AND TURN OFF RIGHT BEFORE I DRIVE OUT OF THE GAS STATION. ONCE RESTART IT TAKES A FEW TIMES AND THEN I AM ABLE TO DRIVE. ONCE ON THE ROAD IT CHUGS FOR MILES. ONCE THE GAS SETS IT'S BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN. THE FUEL PRESSURE GAGE WAS ALREADY REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG AND IT WOULD COST A LOT TO FIND OUT THE SOURCE SO I JUST DEAL WITH IT UNTIL I CAN SELL THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE 2017 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN THREE YEARS OLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO COME TO THE SCENE. THE MECHANIC LOCATED FAILURE CODE NUMBER: P1D73 (ACTIVE GRILL SHUTTER). THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC LIFTED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT TWO PLASTIC PIECES OF GRILL SHUTTER WERE DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 512,000.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. TWO CASES IN WHICH THIS OCCURS: 1) AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE, IF "TOPPED OFF", THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN DRIVING RESUMES. 2) RANDOM TIMES, DRIVING THE CAR...WHEN STOPPED, THEN TURNING LEFT, THE ENGINE WILL STALL IN TRAFFIC (ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON). ABLE TO RESTART, BUT ENGINE MAKES TERRIBLE NOISE (WHINING) ON FIRST RESTART ATTEMPT. THE ENGINE STALL ISSUE APPEARS COMMON TO THIS VEHICLE (PER INTERNET SEARCH). STALLING IN TRAFFIC OR DURING TURNS CREATES SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS IN THE AREA.

ON 3 OCCASIONS SINCE OBTAINING THIS CAR IT HAS STALLED, STRUGGLED WITH POWER, AND WOULD SUDDENLY STOP WHILE MOVING IN TRAFFIC. THE DASHBOARD WOULD LIGHT UP, THE CAR WOULD GIVE SEVERAL MESSAGES AND WOULD REFUSE TO START. THE MOST DANGEROUS TIME WAS WHEN TRAVELING AT 35MPH THERE WAS A LOUD BOOM AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED JERKING ME VISCIOUSLY AND FORCING SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON BRAKES, NEARLY FORCING AN ACCIDENT. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITH SUDDEN STOPS AND THE FIRST TIME IT JUST WOULDN'T GAIN POWER AND WAS SHIFTING VERY HARD. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND I HAVE DRIVEN LOANERS MORE THAN THIS VEHICLE I PURCHASED IN JANUARY. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND WILL NOT TAKE A ROAD TRIP BECAUSE OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A CLUNKING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THREE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE CONTACT RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS FRACTURED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (BRUBAKER DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP, 300 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRIPS ARE OVER 45 MINUTES. WHILE SERVICE ENGINE IS LIT UP, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER TURNING ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON, CAR WILL THEN ACCELERATE. THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CODE WAS P1DA9. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THIS CODE AT THE MOMENT. CODE WAS CLEARED AND AFTER ANOTHER TRIP, THE SAME CODE CAME UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER WORLD (2612 COUNTY ROAD EE, ABRAMS, WI 54101) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL COOLER HOUSING FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THIS CAR CONTINUES TO TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING! TODAY IT TURNED OFF ON ME ON AN INTERSECTION! THE CAR JERKED, STARTED TO SHAKE & THEN MANY LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE BATTERY LIGHT, THE BRAKE LIGHT, MANY MORE (PLEASE SEE PICTURE ATTACHED) I BOUGHT THE CAR AT CARMAX. HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, GOT THE CAR SERVICED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW, 4 MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED. IN NOVEMBER, THEY INFORMED ME THE ISSUE WAS THE CAR FUEL INJECTOR & A BAD SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. TODAY'S ISSUES IS STILL UNKNOWN, AS THE CAR HAS TO BE SENT OFF FOR EVALUATION. BUT TODAY WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION FOR ME! I WOULD HATE THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR!

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 9:30PM ON WEDNESDAY FROM CLASS BACK HOME (12-15 MIN DRIVE) ON A BUSY HIGHWAY (GA 400). I HEAR A DING AND LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE FROM 65 MPH, I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR STAYED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AND THAT THERE WAS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE PARK SHIFT. THE D LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT ALSO BEGAN TO BLINK; THE VEHICLEE CASE TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON THE HIGHWAY, I HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO COME AND BLOCK THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE SOMEONE MOVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AGAIN IT BEGAN TO MOVE BACKWARDS THIS TIME. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN WHICH MY JEEP BEGAN TO DECELERATE, THE FIRST TIME WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO LAST YEAR (OCT/NOV), THE CAR DID THE SAME THING ON A BUSY ROAD WHERE IT BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND WOULDN'T PICK UP ANY SPEED WHATSOEVER WHEN GASSED. ONCE I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND DRIVE THE VECHICLE IT BEGAN TO MOVE BACKWARDS IN DRIVE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO KEEP AND THEY SAID THE ISSUE WAS BATTERY RELATED AND 'FIXED' IT, I PICKED IT UP A FEW DAYS LATER AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE THE SAME DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO JEEP; I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE AND IT SEEMED THAT THEY MISSED A STEP UPON FIXING THE BATTERY. I INQUIRED WHETHER THIS IS PART OF THE ISSUES PEOPLE FACED WHEN IT WAS RECALLED IN 2014/2015 AND WAS TOLD NO. I ASKED IF THEY'RE SURE IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY INSISTED THAT IT WAS.

AFTER EACH TIME OF RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE, DOESN'T WANT TO RUN; VEHICLE ASKS TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK AND WE TRY AND PULL OVER OFF ON A BUSY 6 LANE ROADWAY. SCREEN SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION AFTER STALLING. THEN THE VEHICLE GOT STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. WEREN'T SURE IF WE WOULD MAKE IT HOME. CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP IN ANY WAY.

OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS CRACKED AND LEAKING OIL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SUDDENLY AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIELDS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM ASHEVILLE (255 SMOKEY PARK HIGHWAY, ASHEVILLE, NC 28806, (828) 667-5213) THREE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE NEW VARIABLE VALVE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED DURING THE SECOND VISIT. DURING THE FIRST VISIT, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL AND TOPPED IT OFF. THE CONTACT HAD A CODE READER, WHICH LOCATED CODES P1042 AND P0302 FOR CYLINDER MISFIRE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST EVEN THOUGH SHE LOCATED THE CODES WITH HER OWN CODE READER. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME WITH THE SAME FAILURES AND THE SAME CODES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

OIL LEAK FROM CRACKED OIL COOLER. COULD CAUSE FIRE. POOR/DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND BAD LOCATION NEAR HEAT. NEEDED AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT. MANY OTHERS NEEDED REPLACEMENT ALSO. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE WAS NO HELP.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WILL SAY SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND GET STUCK IN FIRST GEAR WITHOUT LETTING ME GO ANY FASTER THAN WHAT I WAS GOING. IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK NORMALLY AGAIN, I WOULD NEED TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY CAR. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD COMPUTER SCANNED. CODE P0520 ENGINE OIL SENSOR FAILURE WAS DETECTED. CALLED JEEP WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS SENSOR IS LOCATED UNDER THE PLENUM AND INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH BOLTS TO THE ENGINE HEADS. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT.

SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS, SERVICE PARK BRAKE.

ENGINE CODE P0520. MY REPAIR SHOP SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON 2014 JEEP ISSUE. MY SENSOR SAYS THERE IS NO OIL PRESSURE, HOWEVER, MY CARS OIL PRESSURE IS FINE. CAR DRIVES FINE OTHER THAN THE ENGINE LIGHT ON.

THE VEHICLE JUST STOPS WITH NO WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING! THE FIRST TIME WAS ON THE NJ TURNPIKE DOING 70 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE. STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT DID THE SAME THING ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. TOOK IT TO JEEP SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE WIRE. SEEMED OK FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. JEEP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION MODULE. DROVE IT ANOTHER FEW MONTHS - HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I WAS PETRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER, ALL THEY COULD DO WAS OFFER ME A CDI CODE WHICH IS A TINY DISCOUNT ON A NEW CHRYSLER VEHICLE. I FINALLY JUST TRADED THE CAR IN AND PURCHASED ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT I LOST A LOT OF MONEY IN DOING SO. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THIS VEHICLE. LET ME REPEAT, THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SO BELOW, WHEN YOU ASK "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" - I AM USING THE DATE OF THE LAST INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JEFF WYLER AUTOMOTIVE FAMILY (401 MILFORD PKWY A, MILFORD, OH 45150) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL SENSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. AFTER FIVE TIMES, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND THEN STALLED AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY TIME THE OIL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING A LOT MORE OIL THAN NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 31000 MILES ON IT, AT 40000 OIL COOLER STARTED LEAKING LIKE A SIEVE!!!! DEALER SAYS IT'S NOT A COVERED REPAIR! THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH JEEPS.

AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED ON MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE A LEAK DEVELOPED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE A MECHANIC THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS FOUND TO BE BROKEN. I SPOKE WITH THE SHOP WHO CHANGED THE OIL, THEY STATE THEY USE A SPECIAL TOOL THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE CAP TO BE TORQUED DOWN TO TIGHTLY AS THE OIL FILTER HOUSING BREAKAGE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP, DODGE, AND CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.

THE CAR CONTINUALLY STALLS OUT WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. AT FIRST THEY STATED THE OIL LEVEL READ LOW. WE HAD THEM DO A COMPLETE OIL CHANGE AND ONE MONTH LATER THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER REVIEWING THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYLSER DODGE JEEP JUST WANTS TO IGNORE. MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THE CHECK ENGINE/BATTERY LIGHT DISPLAYS. YOU NEED TO WAIT 2-3 MINUTES AND RESTART. ALL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS REPORT NEGATIVE. FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF THOSE ON THE ROAD WITH ME!

JEEP STALLS OR WON'T START, TRY TO START MULTIPLE TIME UNTIL FINALLY STARTS AND OMITS WHITE SMOKE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, AFTER CHECKUP, JEEP IS LOW ON OIL BUT IS NOT DUE FOR OIL CHANGE. DASHBOARD READING SHOWS ONLY 62% OIL USED. MILEAGE BETWEEN LAST OIL CHANGE WAS 4839 MILES. I WAS ADVISED THAT VEHICLE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS WITHIN LIMITS. HAD OIL CHANGED THEN SAME PROBLEM ENSUED AGAIN 3.5 MONTHS LATER MILEAGE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS NOW 3637 MILES DRIVEN, DASHBOARD SHOWS 48% OIL USED AND DEALERSHIP GIVES ME THE SAME EXCUSE. OIL IS LOW BUT NO LEAKAGE ANYWHERE AND CONSUMPTION IS WITHIN GUIDELINES FOR MY VEHICLE. CHANGED OIL AGAIN AND WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT 3 TO 4K MILES. I'M SURE I WILL BE BACK AGAIN. HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE THEY LOOK DEEPER FOR THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. OIL SHOULD ONLY BE CHANGE EVERY 6000 TO 8000 MILES, THIS IS HOW IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING WHEN I PURCHASED IT NOW THE MILEAGE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES GET LOWER AND LOWER.

THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING, DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND BACK STREETS. I'M TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE ISSUE IS THE OIL WAS TOO LOW AND THAT SOME SENSOR SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE. NO WARNING LIGHT, NOTHING. JUST HAPPENS. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FLAW HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED OR CAUSED FATALITIES. THE CAR CONSUMES OIL LIKE IT'S GOING OUT OF STYLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED, IN MARCH 2017 WITH 63186 MILES ON IT . I NOW HAVE JUST UNDER 74000 MILES AND HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED 3X AND HAVE BEEN ADDING OIL MANUALLY. I SEE A LOT OF THIS ISSUES LISTED ON WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND OTHER SITES . I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A LOCAL DEALER THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT SO FAR HAVE BEEN DENIED BY CHRYSLER. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS LAST WEEK (10/24/17). SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET KILLED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BURNED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 32089788. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I PLACE 2 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME VEHICLE - ON LAST 3 YEARS, LAST COMPLAINT IS FROM YESTERDAY 06-15-2017 ON ENGINE SECTION, THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS FROM 2016 ELECTRIC SYSTEM SECTION. DEFECTIVE ENGINE OIL HYPER-CONSUMPTION AND OIL SENSOR MALFUNCTION CAUSE ELECTRIC SYSTEM COLLAPSE, CAR STOP ON HIGHWAYS, CAUSE LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS. AFTER READ HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS HERE, I DECIDE CONTACT JEEP HEADQUARTERS AND REQUEST VALID DOCUMENTATION ABOUT CAR OIL CONSUMPTION. ON JEEP MANUAL IS 10 000 MILES, OR 16 000 KILOMETERS ! FOR ALL WHO ARE SURPRISE WITH DEALERSHIPS INFORMATION'S ABOUT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION , WHEN THEY START OIL TEST - HERE IS VALID INFORMATION, WHICH YOU CAN USE ON CONTACT WITH DEALERSHIPS. PLEASE FIND ONLINE JEEP DOCUMENT TSB 09-007-15 PDF FORM HERE IS IMPORTANT PART OF DOCUMENT: THE ACCEPTED RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION FOR ENGINES USED IN THE VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE IS 1 QUART (0.946 LITER) IN 2,000 MILES (3,200 KM) FOR THE 1ST 50,000 MILES (80,467 KM). FOR VEHICLES WITH MORE THEN 50,000 MILES (80,467 KM) THE ACCEPTABLE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR ENGINES IS 1 QUART (0.946 LITER) IN 750 MILES (1,207 KM). ON CONTEXT WITH THIS INFORMATION LOOK ON US GOVERNMENT " EMISSIONS STANDARDS FOR LIGHT DUTY VEHICLES.HTTPS://WWW.EPA.GOV/EMISSION-STANDARDS-REFERENCE-GUIDE/EPA-EMISSION-STANDARDS-LIGHT-DUTY-VEHICLES-AND-TRUCKS JEEP CHEROKEE 2014 ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION MUST BE ON BALANCE WITH US GOV. RECOMMENDED VEHICLE EMISSIONS. ON CASE THEN OIL IS NOT LEAKING FROM ENGINE, OIL IS OVERSPEND BY DEFECTIVE ENGINE CONSTRUCTION - HARDWARE, OR SOFTWARE. DEFECTIVE ENGINES WITH HIGH EMISSIONS MUST BE RECALL - SEE CASE "VOLKSWAGEN". AFTER WITNESS 8 TIMES SITUATION, WHICH IS DESCRIBE BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HERE, I KNOW, THEN WITHOUT VALID INFORMATION'S AND DOCUMENTS, WE ARE NOT ABLE MAKE ADVOCACY FOR OUR RIGHTS.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AND OIL SENSOR ON JEEP CHEROKEE 2014 - SPORT ENGINE CAUSED ON LAST 3 YEARS SEVERAL LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS NOT JUST FOR ME,BUT ALSO FOR CARS DRIVING AROUND ME ON HIGHWAYS. EACH TIME I CALL DEALERSHIP, DEALERSHIP MAKE TECHNICAL CONTROL. FOR 2 YEARS DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE FIND SOLUTION FOR PROBLEM, RECOMMENDED MAKE OIL EXCHANGE MORE FREQUENTLY THE 5000 MILES FOR PREVENT PROBLEMS ! LAST YEAR 2016 WAS ON JEEP RECALL FINALLY CHANGE OIL SENSOR, BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP. MY LAST LIFE THREATENING SITUATION IS FROM SATURDAY LAST WEEK 06-10-2017. JEEP STOP ON HIGHWAY, COMPLETELY PARALYZED FOR 3-4 MINUTES, JUST RED BATTERY BLINKING. I WAS LUCKY, MANEUVER WITH CAR AND PREVENT SEVERAL COLLISIONS WITH CARS DRIVING AROUND ME FORM HIGHWAY MIDDLE LINE BEHIND VERY DANGER CURVE ! AFTER 3-4 MINUTES I WAS ABLE RESTART ENGINE AND DRIVE TO QUICK OIL, BECAUSE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS EXPERIENCES I KNOW, THEN THIS PROBLEM IS CONNECTING WITH OIL SENSOR. ON CAR DISPLAY WAS OIL "GOOD" ON QUICK OIL SERVICE, SERVICEMAN FIND THEN THERE IS ANY ANY OIL ON ENGINE HE SHOW ME SCALE ON WHICH WAS RESIDUAL OIL WHICH LOOK LIKE ASPHALT. BY QUICK OIL TICKET I NEED OIL EXCHANGE ON NEXT 1600 MILES - BY RECOMMENDATION FOR DEALERSHIP I CHANGE OIL EACH 5000 MILES, SO ACCIDENT IS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING JUST 3400 MILES. ANY OIL LEAKAGE FROM ENGINE WAS FIND, PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. MANAGER FROM QUICK OIL IMMEDIATELY CALL JEEP DEALERSHIP, DESCRIBE PROBLEM ON PHONE, SEND WITH ME WRITING DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM AND DATA TO MY JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE SAME DAY FROM QUICK OIL SERVICE, WHERE THEY PUT TO JEEP ENGINE OIL FOR FREE - I DRIVING TO MY JEEP NORTHGATE DEALERSHIP AND START ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST - I HAVE RETURN EACH 1000 MILES TO DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CONSUMPTION MONITORING. SITUATION IS VERY DANGER, NEED FIND SOLUTION ASAP !

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. USING 3 1/2 QUARTS OF OIL IN THE OIL CHANGE MILEAGE OF 3000-3400 MILES. ONCE ENGINE OIL LEVEL REACHES 2 QUARTS OF ENIGINE OIL, ENGINE WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP WITH NO LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT OR WARNING. IT WILL STOP ON HIGHWAY , STREET, DRIVEWAY, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. WHICH TO ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SUPPOSEDLY IT IS DESIGNED TO DO THAT SO THE ENGINE WILL NOT BURN UP. JEEP SAID THEY RECOGNIZE 1 QT OF OIL CONSUMPTION FOR EVERY 1000 MILES FOR A VEHICLE OVER 50,000 MILES WHICH TO ME IS EXCESSIVE ESPECIALLY WITH TODAY'S INDUSTRY STANDARD.

THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING (HAPPENS WHEN GOING 10MPH-70MPH) I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING PLACE CAR IN PARK AND SHIFT TO GEAR AND THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHES AND SOME OTHER LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. I HAVE HAD MY BATTERY CHECKED WHICH IS FINE AND OIL CHANGED AND STILL HAVING THE ISSUE, JEEP TOLD ME I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING HOWEVER LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE 200-300 COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN SHOWING THE SAME ISSUE AND THEM BEING TOLD NUMEROUS THINGS TO FIX THE ISSUE WHICH RESULT IN SPENDING TONS OF MONEY WITH NO RESULT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR STOPS RUNNING WHILE ON HIGHWAYS OR EVEN MAIN ROADS WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN THE CAR ANYMORE. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A EXACT TIME THIS HAPPENS IT HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS WHILE ACCELERATING OR WHILE GOING A STEADY SPEED, LOW MPH OR HIGH IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND FREQUENTLY.

AS WITH MANY OTHER VEHICLES MY VEHICLE IS SITTING OF ON ITS OWN. SAYING THAT CAR NEEDS TO BE IN PARK. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS A SAFETY FEATURE TO SHUT ENGINE OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO DO THIS WHEN IT IS LOW ON OIL. NO WASTING LIGHT OF LOW OIL JUST IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN I 10 IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS IS WHY WE PAY TAXES TO HAVE DEPARTMENTS WATCHING OVER THIS KIND OF STUFF PROTECTING THE CONSUMER. THIS ISSUE IS REPEATING IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ENGINE IS REPLACED.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. REPLACED WITH NEW MOTOR AND REPROGRAMMED PCM AND TCM 3 MTHS EARLIER BECAUSE OF SAME PROBLEM. CAR STALLING WHEN DRIVING. IN SERVICE AGAIN FOR A 2ND MOTOR. OIL WAS 0% EMPTY WHEN BROUGHT FOR SERVICE. OIL INDICATOR STATES GOOD AT 46% ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. 2ND TIME FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. FIRST REPLACEMENT AT 27 K MILES. NOW IN FOR 2ND ENGINE REPLACED CEMENT AT 31K MILES. TRAVELLING ON BUSY STREET AT 37 MPH WHEN CAR SHUT OFF HAD GRANDCHILD IN VEHICLE AND TRIED PULLING OFF TO SIDE STREET ALMOST TBONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN 6 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED AND TURNED OFF. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT RESTART EVEN WHEN THE WIPER SWITCH WAS TURNED ON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,300. THE CONTACT HAS STATED BY DISCONECTING THE BATTERY THE WIPERS TURN OFF AND THE CONNECTING THE BATTERY AGAIN FIXES IT TEMPORARILY. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THE WIPERS WOULD START WHILE THEY WERE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY SLUGGISH AS IF IT WERE GOING TO DIE WHILE BEING DRIVEN. *JS

MY JEEP STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN MOTION. CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED AS WELL AS MY DEALER. THEY BOTH INDICATE THAT I NEED TO ADD OIL BETWEEN 750 TO 2000 MILES TO PREVENT A STALL. THE STALL IS A "SAFETY" FEATURE THAT PREVENTS THE MOTOR FROM SEIZING ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS WERE COMPLETED AT 500 MILES WITH NO NEGATIVE DATA. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS TO INCLUDE AN OIL PRESSURE WARNING. EVERY 750 MILES SEEMS EXCESSIVE AND I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AT LOW OIL PRESSURE, THAT A WARNING LIGHT WOULD INDICATE THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO STALL. CHRYSLER HAS CLOSED MY COMPLAINT WITH NO FURTHER ACTION AND INDICATED IT WAS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MONITOR EVERY 750 MILES. EACH STALL WAS WHILE IN MOTION AND ON A BUSY ROAD. THE DATE PROVIDED IS APPROXIMATE. STALLS HAVE HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE REPLENISH SYNTHETIC OIL WITH SIGNIFICANT REGULARITY.

THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND DEAD STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS THE DRIVE II TRANSMISSION. THERE HAS NOW BEEN 3 TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS CAR AND WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE BEING BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR THAT DEAD STOPS. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A SEVERE CRASH. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER RECALLS ALSO ON THIS CAR. THOSE HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. THESE HAVE ALL BEEN SINCE PURCHASE DATE OF JULY 2014.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR STEER. I RECEIVED THE MESSAGE ON THE MESSAGE CENTER THAT SAID "CAR MUST BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO SHIFT." THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I ENDED UP BEING TOLD THAT THEY FOUND NO OIL IN THE MOTOR, THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND I SHOULD BEGIN AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I SHOULD NOTE, I HAD GONE ALMOST 6,000 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND RECEIVED THE "OIL CHANGE REQUIRED" MESSAGE ON THE MESSAGE CENTER FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT VERY MORNING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND ENGINE. I ASKED WHY I DIDN'T GET SOME TYPE OF WARNING LIGHT. WAS TOLD THAT THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE A LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT. I SAID OK, BUT IT DOES HAVE AN OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WHY WOULDN'T ONE OF THOSE COME ON? THEY HAD NO ANSWER. I STARTED MONITORING THE OIL MYSELF EVERY 250 MILES. AFTER I DROVE 1000 MILES, THE OIL WAS AT THE SAME FULL LEVEL AS IT WAS WHEN THE OIL CHANGE OCCURRED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AGAIN IN 1000 MILES. I WAS MONITORING THE SITUATION FOR THE NEXT 1000 MILES AND, AS OF THE THE DAY BEFORE I TOOK THE CAR IN, THE OIL LEVEL DROPPED ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE "FULL ZONE". THE DEALER TOLD ME THE OIL WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS BEFORE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR! I AM FORTUNATE THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT A RELATIVELY LOW RATE OF SPEED. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR'S MODEL THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THE SAME BY THE DEALER INITIALLY, BUT NOW I AM BEING TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING AROUND THE CORNER, VEHICLE LOST POWER BUT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT ALSO DID THIS THE FOLLOWING DAY. AFTER A INTERNET SEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER SUCH AS THIS IF THE OIL IS LOW. AFTER CHECKING THE OIL DIP STICK, IT WAS LOW BY 2 QUARTS. NO OIL INDICATOR DISPLAYED IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER ADDING THE OIL, THE STALLS WENT AWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY AT 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000.

MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS RANDOMLY BEEN POPPING UP A MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT MESSAGE FOLLOWED BY THE BATTERY SIGN AND THEN JUST STALLING OUT. THE DEALERSHIP IS ATTRIBUTING THIS TO LOW OIL LEVEL. MY CAR NEVER GIVES ANY KIND OF MESSAGE THAT STATES THE OIL LEVEL IS LOW AND IS NOT SHOWING THAT THE VEHICLE YET NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. DEALERSHIP STATES ITS BECAUSE OF INTERMITTENT OIL PRESSURE. THE CAR STALLS OUT TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM OVER HEATING. I THINK THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE FEATURE FOR MY CALL TO STALL OUT WITH OUT ANY WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY MAIN CITY STREET. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN FIVE DAYS BEFORE I FINALLY DEMANDED THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDE ME A LOANER CAR BECAUSE THEIR NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS 3 WEEKS OUT.

THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. *TR

WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN THE CAR STALLED ONCE 5 DAYS AGO BUT RESTARTED AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND IT WAS FINE. THEN YESTERDAY MORNING IT STALLED 3X BEFORE LEAVING MY DEVELOPMENT. I DROVE TO HAVE THE BATTERY CHECKED LOCALLY AND IT WAS OK. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW, THAT THESE CARS BURN A QUART OF SYNTHETIC OIL EVERY 2000 MILES AND "WHEN THE OIL RUNS LOW THEY SHUT OFF TO PROTECT THE CAR." WHAT?? AND HOW DANGEROUS. I QUESTIONED A RECALL RECENTLY RECEIVED ABOUT JEEPS STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T RELATED. I'M REALLY JUST IN AWE AND DISBELIEF THAT THIS COULD BE A FEATURE THAT THE MANUFACTURER PLANNED FOR!

VEHICLE WILL STALL AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

VEHICLE HAS CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, UNEXPECTEDLY ON 6 OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER, STEERING BECOMES STUFF, AND THE DRIVER DASH SHOWS A MESSAGE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE ACTIVELY IN DRIVE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT A RESTART, THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY RESUMES NORMAL DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN MY PERSONAL VEHICLE, AS WELL AS A RENTAL VEHICLE.

SEPTEMBER 12 2016 460 COUNTY ROUTE 7 PINE PLAINS NY 12567 [XXX]- HOME [XXX]- CELL [XXX](HUSBAND'S CELL) RE: S55/NHTSA 16V-529 VIN: LAST 8- [XXX] I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL A RECALL ON MY JEEP CHEROKEE FOR TRANSAXLE WIRE HARNESS. I CALLED VILLAGE DODGE, DUCHESS DODGE AND THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL. IT IS VERY DISTURBING TO THINK I MIGHT CRASH OUT TO LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. WHY DO THE DEALERSHIPS NOT HAVE PARTS YET? AFTER SPEAKING WITH YOUR FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER 1 800 853 1404 [XXX] WOULD ONLY GIVE ME HER NAME WOULD NOT TELL ME AN OPERATOR NUMBER WHAT STATE SHE WAS IN OR ANY INFORMATION THAT I CONTACTED THE CENTER. I ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR AND PLACED ON HOLD. I AM REQUESTING A LOANING CAR. FINALLY [XXX] CAME BACK ON THE PHONE WHEN I ASKED AGAIN FOR WHAT STATE SHE WAS IN [XXX] STATED FARMINGTON HILLS MICHIGAN. [XXX] TOLD ME THAT I HAVE 24 TO 48 HOURS FOR A CALL BACK FROM THE SUPERVISOR. LOANER CAR WILL ALSO TAKE 24 TO 48 HOUR FOR SOMEONE CALL ME BACK AND I AM BEING PLACED ON SPECIAL TRACKING LIST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO BE EXPECTED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT COULD CRASH AND POSSIBLY KILL ME OR SOME INNOCENT DRIVERS. I EXPECT SOMETHING WOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THE ISSUE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR STALLS RANDOMLY (APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1000 MILES) WHILE I'M DRIVING (IN MOTION). THERE IS NO WARNING. THIS LAST TIME THE CAR STOPPED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON HWY 5 - JUST DIED RIGHT IN THE LANE!! IT HAS ALSO STALLED AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS, ON ONRAMPS, HUGE HILLS ETC. I FINALLY - AFTER 10 VISITS TO THE JEEP REPAIR SHOP - UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT THEY SAY THIS IS ACCEPTABLE UNDER JEEP GUIDELINES AND WON'T PAY FOR THE NEW ENGINE... I'VE PUT OVER 20 QUARTS OF EXPENSIVE SYNTHETIC OIL IN MY CAR OVER THE PAST YEAR AND NEVER KNOW IF THE CAR WILL BE SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS THE WORST CAR I'VE EVER HAD AND I'M DISGUSTED WITH JEEP. BY THE WAY - I JUST FOUND OUT IT NEEDS A FIFTH RECALL - PART STILL IN DEVELOPMENT (AS ALWAYS). WHEN I ASKED THE WOMAN WHO TOLD ME OF THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT, SHE COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT THE RISK IS WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE NEW PART. IN 2 1/2 YEARS OF OWNING THIS PIECE OF CRAP CAR, I'VE HAD FIVE RECALLS AND OVER A DOZEN STALLS... I'M SO ANGRY AND BUMMED.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH ON WINDING HILLY COUNTRY ROAD, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THIS SHUTDOWN LASTED FOR ONLY 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN RESTARTED AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. IT WAS NOT NECESSARY FOR THE DRIVER TO DO ANYTHING. THERE WAS NO NEED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT RESTARTED ON ITS OWN AS THE KEY REMAINED IN THE IGNITION AND WE DID NOT TOUCH IT.

PURCHASED THE 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE AND INITIALLY HAD TROUBLE WITH THE ZF 9-SPEED. ISSUES INVOLVED JERKY RIDES IN THE LOW GEARS. ISSUES WERE SO BAD THAT AT TIMES THE CAR WOULD TAKE 5-10 SECONDS TO SWITCH GEARS AND I WOULD BE STUCK IN NEUTRAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, ALMOST CAUSING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE NOW TAKEN MY CAR TO TWO DEALERSHIPS OVER THE PAST 2+ YEARS ROUGHLY 7 TIMES AND THEYVE PERFOMED SYSTEM UPDATES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP. THEY HAVE YET TO HELP AND MOST RECENTLY I WAS INVOLVED IN ANOTHER NEAR ACCIDENT. I HAVE CALLED THE FIAT CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER TO PUT A CASE TOGETHER. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MY PURCHASE AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN FIX THESE ISSUES. A MORE CONCERNING ISSUE WAS AFTER TWO WEEKS OF PURCHASE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING ROUGHLY 70 MPH, AND A WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH SCREEN AND THEY ALL THE SCREENS WENT BLACK AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS FORCED TO MOVE FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE FAR RIGHT AND LET THE CAR COME TO A STOP. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, SINCE IT HAD ONLY BEEN 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, AND THEY TOLD THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG AND TO JUST TURN OFF THE CAR AND WAIT 5 MINUTES AND THEN TRY AGAIN. AFTER DOING THIS I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM FOR A REASON TO WHY IT HAPPENED. THEY COULDN'T PROVIDE AN ANSWER AND SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. 2 YEARS WENT BY AND THIS HADNT HAPPENED AGAIN, UNTIL THIS JANUARY. I WAS AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOST CONTROL OF ACCELERATING AND ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY PERFORMED SOFTWARE UPDATES. HASNT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT LAST TIME IT TOOK 2 YEARS.

VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. OFTEN SLAMS INTO NEXT GEAR AT UNEXPECTED TIMES OR NOT AT ALL. ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE PAST A CAR THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO PICK UP, THE CAR DID NOT EVEN GO. IT HAS EVEN CAUSED THE CAR TO JUMP FORWARD AFTER BREAKING AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAS ALL BEEN HAPPENING CONTINUOUSLY SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD IT WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE BUT NO UPDATES HAVE SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUES AND IT JUST CONTINUES TO GET WORSE, I'M SCARED FOR MY SAFETY.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE AT A 30 MPH RATE OF SPEED DUE TO OIL LOW NOT EMPTY. IF VEHICLE SHOULD FALL BELOW 2 QUARTS OF OIL, VEHICLE MAY STALL AND STOP WORKING PROPERLY WHILE IN MOTION. MY VEHICLE HOLD 4-5 QUARTS OF OIL AND WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OILCHANGE AND STALLED TWICE WHILE ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD. DEALER STATED MY VEHICLE SHOULD REMIAN A FULL LEVEL OF OIL IN ORDER FOR IT TO NOT STALL!!! NO OIL LEAKS OR MECHANICAL ISSUES WERE FOUND DURING SERVICE.

THIS VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO "JERK" AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS AS I AM ACCELERATING, BUT ALSO HAPPENS AS I SLOW DOWN SO THERE IS NO DEFINITE ACTION THAT IS BEING PERFORMED TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.

THIS CAR IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN! THE TRANSMISSION (I-4 SPECIFICALLY FOR ME) BUCKLES AND LUNGES IN GEARS 1-3. IT GETS STUCK IN GEAR, IT GOES INTO 2 GEARS AT THE SAME TIME. IT HAS GOTTEN STUCK ON THE ACCELERATION. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN TRAFFIC, OR ANYWHERE I NEED TO GO SLOWLY SINCE IT DOES NOT ALWAYS RESPOND WHEN I BRAKE OR GIVE IT GAS. I WOULDN'T PUT MY WORST ENEMY IN THIS CAR! THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS STARTED ON SAY 1 WITH 100 MILES ON THE CAR, AND HAVE KEPT GOING FOR THE PAST 2.5 YEARS. I HAVE HAD A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND THAT DID NOT HELP.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE IN DECEMBER 2014 (NEW). WE NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THE TRANSMISSION WAS JERKING, AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE FORWARD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE VEHICLE HAD TO GET USE TO OUR DRIVING. WE CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER FOUR TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND BEING TOLD THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM THE SERVICE TECH WAS ABLE TO RE-CREATE, HOWEVER WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THE DEALERSHIP COULD DO, AND WE WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT BROKE DOWN. IN APRIL 2016, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. IMMEDIATELY, WE BEGIN HAVING THE SAME JERKING, LURCHING AND SURGING. NOW WE HAVE BEEN TOLD, WE NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION PUT IN THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 23,500 MILES ON IT, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP, AND GONE THROUGH ARBITRATION, HOWEVER JEEP DOESN'T FEEL THE NEED TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS THE ELEVENTH CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE PRODUCT WE HAVE PURCHASED, AND IT WILL BE THE LAST.

VEHICLE MISFIRES. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT SINCE MARCH 19TH AND HAS REPLACED 3 HEADS. STILL NO RESOLUTION. HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR HELP AND HAVE A CASE MANAGER BUT NOT REALLY HELPFUL. I WOULD LIKE THE ENGINE REPLACED BUT CHRYSLER SAYS IT COSTS TOO MUCH. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO REWORK THE HEADS SO MANY TIMES.

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT SLOW SPEEDS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WHILE MAKING SLOW SPEED TURNS OR COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RE-START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND ONLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE DEALER HAS INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM BUT CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE EHICLE IS STRANDED IN THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACTED STATED WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL CHANGE WAS NOT PERFORMED AT A 1,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.00. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 05/18/16*LJ *TR

HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE YET, BUT AM CONCERNED THERE MAY BE. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFTING/STALLING/ENGINE HESITATION/TRANSMISSION ISSUES OF MY CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT ON 2/19/16, WITH ONLY 15,300 (APPROX) MILES ON IT. DOES FINE ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS IN TOWN. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE UNTIL CHRYSLER CORP FINISHES THE COMPUTER UPDATE TO REPAIR ALL THIS. WANTED THIS SAFETY ISSUE OUT THERE, IN CASE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN. VERY FRUSTRATING!

VEHICLE STALLS SOMETIMES AROUND 20MPH. STALLS WHEN FOOT IS LEFT OFF THE GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE COMPUTER SOFTWARE WAS RESET BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT RESUMED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

ON SEPTEMBER 20TH AT 5:30 AM DRIVING 55MPH MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAIL HAWK SUDDENLY JUST SHUT OFF THE WHOLE CAR. IT RESTATED 45 MINUTES LATER AND I DROVE IT TO MINOT AUTOMOTIVE CENTER. THE ERROR MESSAGES THAT CAME ON THE DASH WERE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION< SERVICE EMERGANCY BREAK,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" MINOT AUTOMOTIVE WROTE ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC PAPER THAT CODE U0402 "IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECIEVED FROM TCM" AND CODE P0975- SHIFT CONTROL SOLENOID B CIRCUIT CONTROL PERFORMANCE ERRORS WERE STORED. DEALER UPDATED THE TCM AND PCM SOFTWARE TO VERSION FOR TSBS 18-031-14 REV A AND 21-043-15 THEY CLEARED THE CODES THE RETURNED. ON SEPTEMBER 23 THE JEEP JUST DIED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIWAY AT 65 MPH, IT RESTARTED AN HOUR LATER AND AGAIN TOOK TO DEALER WHO PROMPLY SAID IT WOULD BE 4 WEEKS BEFORE THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. CALLED JEEP/CHYSLER SERVICE # AND ASSIGNED CASE #27877752 AND TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK. JEEP AGAIN DIED ON SEPT 23 2015 2 MORE TIMES AS THE DEALER SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND JEEP WOULDN'T PAY FOR A RENTAL. I NEVER WAS CALLED BACK FROM JEEP SO CALLED THEM AGAIN.THIS TIME ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER WHO JUST STONEWALLS ME AND NEVER RETURNS CALLS. JEEPS BRIGHT IDEA WAS TO HAVE IT TOWED 150MILES AT MY EXPENSE OF $664 TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO WOULDN'T LOOK AT IT FOR 2 MONTHS. CAR DIES AGAIN WHILE DRIVING 65 ON SEPTEMBER 24 2015. IF WE OR THE OTHER MOTORING PUBLIC LIVE THRU THIS IT WILL BE A MIRACLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A VERY STRONG ODOR OF MOLD EMITTED OUT OF THE AIR VENTS WHICH INCREASED WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT 55 MPH AND TOWING AN RV, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INCREASED TO THE HOT LEVEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TEMPERATURE STARTED TO GO DOWN AFTER REACHING THE PEAK OF THE HILL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN UP AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE, WE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AT NW HILLS JEEP IN TORRINGTON, CT. ON MAY 11. 2015. FRIDAY, JULY 17 I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR. WITH NO NOTICE, THE CAR STOPPED DEAD IN THE ROAD AND PUT ITSELF INTO PARK. I COULD NOT START OR MOVE THE CAR IN ANY WAY, THE MECHANIC WHO TOWED IT HAD TO GO UNDER THE GEAR LEVER AND OVER RIDE THE PARK BUTTON. I WAS ON A QUIET COUNTRY ROAD. IF I HAD BEEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. AT 25 MPH, I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND THEN SHUT DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND FEARED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY BECAUSE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER TRYING FOR 10 MINUTES THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE NEARBY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO INFORMATION IN THE DATABASE STATING SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THEY GAVE ME THE OKAY TO DRIVE THE CAR. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME I WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STALLED AND SHUT DOWN. IT TOOK 15 MINUTES TO START BACK UP AGAIN THIS TIME. KNOWING THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME. I HAD SOMEONE FILM IT HAPPENING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IN THE SAFETY OF A QUIET LOT. READING ABOUT ALL THE OTHER INSTANCES IN WHICH THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS HAS ME VERY WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THIS CAR. I HAVE NO DESIRE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN EVEN IF THEY TELL ME IT IS COMPLETELY FIXED BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING OR HOW TO PERMANENTLY FIX THIS. I'M ASTOUNDED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL YET. THIS IS CLEARLY A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,881.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DIESEL AT ABOUT 60 MPH ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN SECONDS THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 30 MPH. THE AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS NOT REGENERATING AUTOMATICALLY THEREBY CAUSING THESE ISSUES. THEY OFFERED ME A FREE SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. A YEAR LATER AND THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 14 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. ONE UPGRADE AFTER ANOTHER YET THE CAR WILL STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS CAR WILL BECOME LIMP. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF BEING ON A HIGHWAY AND GOING 30 MPH BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT REGENERATE AUTOMATICALLY. JEEP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE REGENERATION ISSUES.

ON 12/19/14 WHILE DRIVING, MY VEH STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED BEFORE, DURING/AFTER ITS FAILURE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. AFTER INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE OF MY NEW JEEP WAS BURNING OIL. THE JEEP RECENTLY HAD BEEN IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE & RTD WITH THE MULTI POINT INSPECTION PAPERWORK INDICATING EVERYTHING WAS OK. HERB CHAMBERS, ALTHOUGH DIAGNOSISING THE JEEP TO BE "BURNING OIL" INSISTED, AT THE DIRECTION OF CHRYSLER PROTOCOL, THAT I DRIVE IT 5,000 MILES AND RETURN IT FOR FURTHER INSPECT. ONLY AFTER MY HUSBAND GOT INVOLVED DID THEY KEEP THE CAR, DRIVE IT, AND EVENTUALLY INSTALL A NEW ENGINE. ON 5/6/2015 THE JEEP LOST POWER DESCENDING A HILL. THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED HOME & DRIVEN TO HERB CHAMBER. AFTER INSPT THE JEEP NOW NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO JEEP, THE TRANSMISSION HAS AN INTERNAL LEAK. AGAIN, 3 WKS EARLIER, THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TIRE ROTATION AND OIL CHANGE. THE MULIT POINT INSPECTION, INDICATED ALL FLUIDS, INCD THE TRANS FLUID WAS OK. WHILE THE JEEP WAS BEING FIXED, I ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER RUBBING NOISE WHEN TURNING. NEW BUSHINGS WERE PLACED INTO THE JEEP. WE HAVE SENT EMAILS & MADE PHONE CALLS TO CHRYSLER AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. WE ARE DRIVING A NEW VEH THAT HAS PROVEN UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE W/O ANY REMEDY FROM THE MFGR. I WOULD LIKE OTHER JEEP OWNERS TO BE AWARE OF THE REOCCURRING PROBS WITH THIS JEEP. I BELIEVE THE RELEASE OF THE JEEP WAS DELAYED DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS & THAT POSSIBLY IS/WAS A RECALL (OF WHICH WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED). I ALSO BELIEVE THE AXEL/BUSHINGS IS A RECALL (AGAIN ONE WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF) NOR WOULD IT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED IF WE DID NOT REQUEST IT BE CHECKED. CHRYSLER HAS NOT MADE ANY EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. ON ALL OCCASSIONS, WE THE CONSUMER, HAD TO REACH OUT TO THEM.

ON 3 OCCASIONS NOW, MY JEEP CHEROKEE HAS SHUT DOWN/STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING. IT HAPPENED AS I WAS ACCELERATING BETWEEN 50 AND 55 MPH. ALL THE GAGES DROPPED AND EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. IT LASTED FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS ONLY AND THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK UP. ON THESE OCCASIONS, I STARTED TO TRY TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT DID NOT HAVE TO. I'VE SEEN SIMILAR POSTS. I HAVE THE VEHICLE SCHEDULED FOR WORK NEXT WEEK, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS DISINTERESTED ALREADY. I HAVE 3 OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE VEHICLE AS WELL. THREE OTHER ISSUES: 1. THE VEHICLE SHIFTS HARD BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND OR 2ND AND 3RD. IT IS SPORADIC AND DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN. 2. A REAR SHOCK HAS LOST ALL OF IT'S FLUID. I'VE SEEN POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. 3. THE AIRBAG RECALL. SO DISAPPOINTING.

MY BRAND NEW 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHUTTING OFF WHILE SHIFTING INTO LOWER GEARS, LEAVING MY CAR DISABLED WHILE IN MOTION. AFTER THE CAR WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. MOREOVER, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY JERK/LUNGE FORWARD WHILE SLOWING DOWN WITH THE BREAK. SO FAR, THIS CAR HAS BEEN INTO KENDALL JEEP IN MIAMI FOUR TIMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD COMPUTERS WERE DOWN AND TO COME BACK. SECOND TIME, I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS SOFTWARE RELATED. THEY UPDATED MY SOFTWARE AND TOLD ME I SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. AS I WAS LITERALLY PULLING OUT OF THE LOT, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIRD TIME, JEEP SALESMAN BRINGS ME MY CAR AFTER IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP. HE TOLD ME TO LEAVE THE CAR AS HE FELT THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. WITH NO RENTAL CAR, I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR HOME. VERY NEXT MORNING, CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK FOR A FOURTH TIME. THIS TIME A RENTAL CARE WAS FINALLY PROVIDED. THEY CHECK THE PROBLEM, AND COULD FIND NONE. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN VIDEO DOCUMENTING ALL STALLS AND PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM IS REAL AND THE VIDEOS SHOW THIS. PICKED UP CAR TODAY, STALLED AGAIN AT THE END OF THE DAY. AGAIN, ON VIDEO. CALLED JEEP TO COMPLAIN. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME JEEP WILL BE IN CONTACT. CONTINUALLY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ADDRESS TO SEND MY LEMON LAW NOTIFICATION. JEEP HAS ACTED AS AN OBSTACLE TO CONSUMERS RIGHTS. IN SUM, THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. JEEP IS NOT HELPING.

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THANK GOODNESS THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AS I WAS ONLY BLOCKS FROM THE JEEP DEALER. I WAITED APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON AND LUCKILY THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT WOULD ONLY PUTT PUTT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING THE VEHICLE TO THE WORK STATION. WHEN THEY CALLED ME TO TELL ME THEY FIXED IT THEY TOLD ME THE REASON IT STOP WAS BECAUSE IT WAS 2 QUARTS LOW OF OIL AND THAT WAS THE CAUSE. THIS WAS VERY STRANGE AS I REMINDED THEM TO LOOK AT MY SERVICE RECORD AT WHICH I HAD THE OIL SERVICE RECENTLY DONE AT THEIR FACILITY. THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO RESPOND. SUBSEQUENT I CONTACTED JEEP HEADQUARTERS (RESOLUTION DEPT.) AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY ASKED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER JEEP DEALER FOR EVALUATION, WHICH I HAVE DONE. THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD IS SHIFTING (THE VEHICLE JUMPS WHEN SHIFTING), THEY HAVE SEMI CORRECTED THAT BY PUTTING PARTS INTO THE TRANSMISSION, EXCEPT THE 2ND GEAR STILL JUMPS A BIT. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAD, WAS MY WIFE AND I WERE EXITING THE VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE TURNED "OFF" AND THE VEHICLE STARTED ON ITS OWN. I WAS TOLD BY THE 2ND DEALER THERE IS NO INDICATION WHILE SEARCHING WITH THE DIAGNOSTICS AS TO WHY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CAN LIVE WITH THE SHIFTING BUT NOT GETTING EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY THE ENGINE DIED (AS THEY CALLED IT ON THE SERVICE SLIP, "DIED IN FLIGHT") MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR IT WILL SHUT DOWN ON THE FREEWAY OR ANY STREET FOR THAT MATTER COULD BE EXTREMELY SERIOUS. OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE TRIED TO EVALUATE WHY OR WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR WAS, BUT BEING GIVEN AN EXPLANATION BECAUSE IT WAS LOW ON OIL IS NOT COMFORTING OR NOT FINDING ANY CODES TO INDICATE A PROBLEM, WHEN IN FACT THEY HAD DONE AN OIL CHANGE TO THE VEHICLE IS A CONCERN? *TR

OUR 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4BY4 HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT. THIS CAR IS 13 MONTHS OLD AND WE HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO OUR DEALER FOR THE SAME TIME SEVERAL TIMES. THE ENGINE KEEPS STALLING ON US WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. IN DECEMBER 2014 IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 65MPH. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR SIMPLY DIDN?T WANT TO DRIVE. THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY FOR US WHILE TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY WITH HIGH SPEEDS. THE CAR DROPPED IN MPH WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN I PULLED OVER AND TURNED ON/OFF TO RESET IT, IT DIDN?T WORK. THE DEALER RAN TESTS AND THEY COULDN?T COME UP WITH A PROBLEM. AGAIN THIS HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND IN APRIL WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, AGAIN THE CAR STALLED, MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AGAIN THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE, ELECTRONICS AND COULDN?T ADDRESS THE ISSUE, SAID EVERTHING WAS OK. OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 13 MONTHS IT WOULD STALL MID DRIVE BUT WE WOULD QUICKLY REST THE VEHICLE AND WE WOULD STILL DRIVE IT, SHOULD HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SOONER BECAUSE NOW IT JUST GOT A LOT WORSE. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, I COULDN?T COMPLETE A TURN, MY JEEP STALLED, MPH DROPPED TO 0 WITHOUT ME PUTTING IT IN PARK AND STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE. FINALLY, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO TURN IT OFF, COULDN?T TURN IT OFF FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. FINALLY I TURNED IT OFF STILL IN PARK, RESTARTED BUT THE CAR STILL DIDN?T WAN TO DRIVE EVEN AFTER I PUT IT IN DRIVE. IT EVEN ROLLED BACK A LITTLE. VERY SCARY SINCE I WAS WITH MY YOUNG CHILD AND IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I TOTALLY LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR. THE CARS ELECTRONICS ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN, IN ADDITION TO FAULTY ENGINE IT SEEMS? THIS A 35K CAR THAT DOESN?T WORK,, VERY UNRELIABLE AND THE DEALER CAN?T DETERMINE OR ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS LOOK INTO THIS?. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP!

I HAVE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL BUT MY DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. PREVIOUS RECALLS HAVE ALSO GONE UNFIXED BECAUSE THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

WHILE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE OR WILL LOSE SIGNIFICANT POWER, ESPECIALLY ON AN UPSLOPE. IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO GEAR, YOU NEED TO GUN THE ENGINE, CAUSING A JERKING OF THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO GET UP A HILL, YOU MUST SPEED (BREAKING THE LAW) SO THAT THE ENGINE HAS ENOUGH TO GET THE TRANSMISSION IN THE PROPER GEAR. THE CAUSE IS DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE BY THE DEALER THAT APPARENTLY CANNOT BE RECTIFIED, AND THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE IS SERIOUSLY IN QUESTION BY THE DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

CAR MAKES A WHISTLING VERY LOUD WHISTLING NOISE UPON STARTUP AND CONTINUES FOR UP TO 5 MINUTES, EVENING LAST WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE, WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIMES THAT IT WAS THE BEARINGS? (THEY WERE REPLACED). NOISE STILL OCCURRING, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE PULLEYS, NOISE STILL HEARD. NEXT, I WAS TOLD THE WATER PUMP WAS CAUSING THE NOISE, IT WAS REPLACED BUT NOISE STILL OCCURRING. NOW, I AM TOLD THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY WILL REPLACE THAT PART. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRUE SOURCE OF THE NOISE AND WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL HAVE A MAJOR AFFECT ON THE ENGINE LATER ON. *TR

I WAS PARKED ON 12.21.2014 WITH THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE IT DID NOT START AS A MATTER OF FACT THERE WAS NOT CRANKING OR ANY NOISE. I CALLED THE ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE FOR CHRYSLER AND THEY SENT A PERSON TO JUMP THE CAR BATTERY. IT DID NOT WORK. LONG STORY SHORT THEY TOWED MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP CROWN CHRYSLER OF CHATTANOOGA WHICH IS THE SAME DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE BACK ON 7.21.2014. WEEKS BEFORE I NOTICED A SHAKING IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE SAME DEALERSHIP I JUST MENTIONED. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND LEFT THE VEHICLE THERE FOR SOME DAYS SO THEY COULD FIX IT FROM 12.08.2014 TO 12.15.2014. WHEN I CAME BACK THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR IN THE RECEIPT THEY GAVE ME IT IS WRITTEN "TEST DROVE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO ISSUES WITH STEERING...PERFORMED COMPLIMENTARY CROWN MULTI-POINT INSPECTION". 1 WEEK AFTER THE JEEP BROKE DOWN AND GOT TOWED AS I DESCRIBED BEFORE. IF THIS HAPPENS DRIVING AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CHEROKEE, FOLLOWED THE ENGINE/DRIVE TRAIN BREAK IN PROCEDURE AS CLOSELY AS I COULD, BUT STARTED EXPERIENCING A SIDE TO SIDE SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE VERY SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. THE SHIMMY HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP AND SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 3RD GEAR. TYPICALLY I FEEL IT IN THE GAS PEDAL AND THE STEERING WHEEL, HOWEVER IT VARIES IN INTENSITY FROM STOP TO STOP. SOMETIMES IT IS GONE AND SOMETIMES IT IS ENOUGH TO SHAKE THE WHOLE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP 3 TIMES NOW AND EACH TIME WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL WAS NOT EVEN ADDRESSED. *TR

I AD STARTED THE CAR AND PUT INTO DRIVE AND WOULD STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ALREADY,, THOUGHT MAYBE HE HAD TO BE WARMED UP BEFORE PROCEEDING. *TR

AT 30-40MPH WITH 2RMP MY I WOULD HEAR A VERY LOUD WHISTLING NOISE. ONE DAY LATER MY CAR WOULD START KICKING BACK WHEN ON THE GO. TWO DAYS LATER, MY JEEP CHEROKEE WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I COULD NOT PUT IT IN DRIVE, PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FEW SECONDS LATER THE ON INFORMATION BOARD SAID, "TRANSMISSION PROBLEM." I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. *JS

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ROUGH. PROBLEM WENT AWAY BUT LIGHT REMAINED ON. CALLED DEALER AND WE AGREED TO DRIVE IT TO SEE IF IT ACTED UP AGAIN. LIGHT WENT OUT TWO DAYS LATER. AT 734 MILES I WAS TURNING A CORNER AND VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL. LATER THAT DAY TURNED ANOTHER CORNER AND VEHICLE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO GET IT RESTARTED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND THE ENGINE THREE QUARTS LOW ON OIL. FLUSHED ENGINE AND CHANGED OIL AND FILTER. AT 1522 MILES VEHICLE STALLED AFTER TURNING CORNER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. HAD TO PUSH VEHICLE OFF OF BRIDGE AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. GOT IT STARTED AND TOOK STRAIGHT TO DEALER. ENGINE WAS THREE QUARTS LOW ON OIL AGAIN. ENGINE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IF VEHICLE STALLS ON HIGHWAY OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SOMEBODY COULD BE INJURED OR WORSE. I UNDERSTAND ABOUT BAD PARTS BEING A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. BUT IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON 295N IN LEFT LANE JUST PASSING MALL TRAFFIC WHEN ALL OF MY WARNING GAUGES STARTED TO GO OFF, OVER HEAT, OIL, CHECK ENGINE AND OTHERS. THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION THAT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN IN A BARREL, THE CAR WAS ALL THE WAY TO HOT. IT DIED AND I WAS ABLE TO DIRECT IT OVER TO THE LEFT LANE AND TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS ONLY 2 AND 1/2 MONTHS OLD WITH 2400 MILES ON IT. I CALLED FOR A TOW TO DEALER SHIP. STATE POLICE ARRIVED ON SCENE FOR SAFETY. *TR
