NHTSA Complaint #11124095 — 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE

MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE'S ENGINE HAS STALLED 3 TIMES PRIOR TO REACHING 3000 MILES. IN EACH CASE, I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING, AND ONLY THE ORANGE BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWED ON THE DISPLAY. THE FIRST TIME THE CHEROKEE'S ENGINE DIED, IT STARTED ONCE THE CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE IGNITION BUTTON WAS PUSHED. THE SECOND TIME THE CHEROKEE'S ENGINE RESTARTED ONCE THE CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE IGNITION BUTTON WAS PUSHED. IT RAN A FEW SECONDS, THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN, AND WHEN PLACED IN PARK AND THE IGNITION BUTTON WAS PUSHED, THE ENGINE HESITATED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO START. THE ENGINE FINALLY RESTARTED. WHEN I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE STAFF SAID THAT NO SERVICE CODE WAS GENERATED AND THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE STAFF ALSO SEEMED UNAWARE OF ANY MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WITH THE 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE'S ENGINE. I FIND THIS DISTURBING SINCE I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTS ONLINE FROM OWNERS OF 2019 JEEP CHEROKEES STATING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. IS JEEP REALLY THIS UNCONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS? JEEP NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT IS CAUSED FROM THIS DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT. *TT *AS
