NHTSA Complaint #11257881 — 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR, THE CAR HESITATES AS I TURN CORNERS, THE CAR SHAKES WHEN YOU START IT UP AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ALONG A BUSY STREET. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF IT. THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENED IN EITHER OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT, I SPOKE TO THE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I PROBABLY NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I GOOGLED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I PRESENTED TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT BUT IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY RESOLVED. ALMOST ONE YEAR LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S DANGEROUS. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE WAS DESIGNED TO CUT OFF TO PROTECT THE ENGINE IF THE OIL IS LOW. THE ENGINE IN THESE CARS ARE A 2.4 TIGER SHARK ENGINE. THE DEALER REPLACED IT WITH A 2.4 MULTI-AIR ENGINE, POWER THE DEALER THIS SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE ENGINE BURNING AN AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. BOTH 2.4 ENGINES ARE DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF IF THERE IS A LOW AMOUNT OF OIL. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT A CAR WOULD SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING TO PROTECT ITSELF BUT THAT DOESN'T PROTECT THE DRIVER/PASSENGERS IT ACTUALLY PUTS THEM IN HARMS WAY.*DT *AS
