NHTSA Complaint #11404245 — 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE

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