2014 JEEP CHEROKEE Engine Problems

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,...

HELLO, MY 2014 CHEROKEE SPORT, 38K MILES, 2 WHEEL DRIVE, HAS SHUT OFF ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN A 5-DAY PERIOD, WITHOUT WARNING AS I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASH AND SUDDENLY THE CAR TURNED OFF. I BOUGHT IT USED 6 MONTHS AGO. THERE WAS A RECALL #S55 FOR THE TRANSMISSION, PART SOFTWARE AND PART HARDWARE, THAT WAS REPORTED TO BE COMPLETE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED SINCE I AM STILL EXPERIENCING RANDOM LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. OR, PERHAPS THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE PART OF THE RECALL WAS COMPLETE, BUT THE PART WAS STILL NOT FIXED. THE LOCAL SHOP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING, OF COURSE, AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE LAST OIL CHANGE (2K MILES AGO) WAS WITH SEMI SYNTHETIC RATHER THAN SYNTHETIC OIL, AND THAT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO THE JERSEY WALL. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED RIGHT FOOT AND A TORN LIGAMENT IN THE LEFT KNEE. THE PASSENGER INCURRED HAND INJURIES. BOTH OCCUPANTS REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC (NORTH TEXAS COLLISION LOCATED IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,863.

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...

TODAY'S NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE, BUT I WILL SAY I'TS BEEN THE WORST! DROVE MY CAR DURING THE DAY THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DURING HIGH TRAFFIC HOURS IT DECIDES TO JERKING AND SHAKE WHILE PULLING TO A RED LIGHT SO I PULL INTO MY LOCAL WAL-MART TO SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING WITH MY BATTERY BECAUSE THE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE GUY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE SO I TRIED DRIVING MORE AND THE CAR JERKED SO HARD I THOUGHT SOMEONE HIT MY CAR BUT NO ONE HAD . WHILE CAR WAS IN HIGH SPEEDS IT STARTED DECELERATING WHILE ON BUSY ROADS NEARLY CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. WHILE DRIVING IT LOSES POWER GIVING ME A MESSAGE SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION, BATTERY LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND WHILE IN MOTION THE PRND THE D WOULD BLINK CONSTANTLY

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.

"SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING AND CHECK ENGINE": VEHICLE MOVING UPHILL, AUTO TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO LOWER GEAR; TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO SLIP AND ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED DROPS; HAPPENED IN MIDDLE LANE OF INTERSTATE; MANAGED TO EXIT INTERSTATE AND PARK; VERY LITTLE POWER TO MOVE VEHICLE; SAFELY PARKED AND TURNED OFF ENGINE. WAITED 2 - 4 MINUTES; RESTARTED ENGINE; SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING OFF; CHECK ENGINE "ON". VEHICLE OPERATED NORMAL; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF LATER; HAD LOOSENED GAS CAP AND RETIGHTENED TO SEE IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT - IT DIDN'T HAVE AN IMMEDIATE EFFECT ON THE LIGHT. HAD TO MANEUVER BEHIND 18 WHEELER AND CRAWL SPEED UP THE EXIT RAMP. ENDED UP CROSS WAYS IN A SIDE ROAD FOR A FEW MINUTES WHILE THE TRANSMISSION 'FEATHERED' VEHICLE TO SAFE SPOT. NO COLLISION THIS TIME. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINT ONE MONTH EARLIER.AND MORE TIMES PREVIOUSLY

IF YOU SLOW DOWN THEN TRY TO SPEED UP THE VEHICLE HESITANTS AT SOME POINT IT BANGS INTO GEAR THEN TAKES OFF.I ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FROM A RAMP ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE DID NOT SPEED UP IT WAS LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN A LOW GEAR AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THIS CAUSED THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO SWERVE AROUND ME SO HE COULD GET AHEAD OF THE SPEEDING TRAFFIC THEN MY VEHICLE HAD A LOUD BANG AS IT FINALLY WENT INTO GEAR AND TOOK OFF LIKE A BULLET. SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. SO YIELDING IN THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I KNOW THIS HAPPENS SO I AM VERY CAUTOUS WHEN DRIVING AS THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR INCIDENT TO HAPPEN AND IT IS SCARY. I HAD SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE...

AFTER FIXING THE TRANSMISSION RECALL. MY TRANSMISSION HAS ONCE AGAIN STARTED ACTING UP. JEEP REFUSES TO SWITCH GEARS. MUST SERVICE VEHICLE AGAIN. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, IT SEEMS, WITH MULTIPLE OWNERS. VEHICLE ITSELF NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. VEHICLE IN MOTION. ON HIGHWAY. (BOTH TIMES)

I ATTEMPTED TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT ON A 4 LANE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. IT KEPT ACCELERATING AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE TACHOMETER WAS BETWEEN 6000 TO 7000 RPM. I HIT THE ACCELERATOR A FEW TIMES AND IT DROPPED TO NORMAL RPM'S. THE STOP LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN AND I PUT THE SHIFTER FROM THE NEUTRAL POSITION TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS.

SOMETHING STRANGE STARTED HAPPENING, IT SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL WHILE I WAS TRYING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, ALMOST WENT THROUGH. BRAKES LOCKED LATER HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THEY KEPT A FEW DAYS, SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. FROM DAY ONE I WAS TOLD IT WAS A 9 SPEED SHIFT THING AND I FELT EVERY SINGLE ONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL. SO ME UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION, BUT TRUST THE DEALER, KEPT DRIVING THIS CAR, THAT I FELT UNSAFE IN EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY. EACH DAY I PRAYED THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. TILL THIS DAY, IT STILL SHIFTS FROM EACH GEAR WITH A JERK, I NOTICE THE PERSONS HEADS IN MY CAR JERK, EVERY TIME I GO FROM A STOP TO TRY TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS HAD SUCH A STRONG KICK WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS THAT I FELT LIKE I WAS...

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...

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...

JUST BOUGHT WITH 40K MILES ONE MONTH AGO (1/21/2017). 1 WEEK AFTER BUYING, WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE MIDDLE A BUSY CITY INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE SHUTTERED AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. I WAS RIGHT IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. THE DISPLAY INDICATED THAT I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART. I DID, BUT IT RESTARTED AND PRESSING GAS DIDN'T EVEN REV THE ENGINE. I WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND RESTARTED. IT WORKED AND I DROVE AWAY. FOUND OUT ABOUT SAFETY RECALL THAT DAY AND HAD JEEP DEALER DO THE RECALL THE NEXT DAY..THEN, 2 WEEKS LATER, I WAS IN PARK AT THE VET WITH THE ENGINE ON, THE ENGINE STUTTERED AND DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I RESTARTED IT AND AGAIN, PRESSING THE GAS...EVEN FLOORING IT...DID NOT EVEN REV THE ENGINE AT ALL. I WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS, RESTARTED, AND DROVE OFF FINE. I GOT AN OIL CHANGE WITH FULL...

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.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DECEMBER 17TH AND WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME WITH TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON ALSO, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR AND DID NOT. AS OF JANUARY 16TH, 2017 WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WAS HOOKED UP TO BE DIAGNOSED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE CANNOT GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER ON ANYTHING BUT I KNOW IT IS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. ALL THAT JEEP HAS DONE EACH TIME IS RESET THE COMPUTER TO WIPE OUT THE WARNING LIGHTS AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. IT COULD HAVE AT ANYTIME INJURED OR KILLED MYSELF, MY HUSBAND, CHILD AND ANYONE ELSE WHILE WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

ON 3 OCCASIONS. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP, EXPLAINING THE VEHICLE HARD SHIFTS, LUNGES, DISENGAGES, 'D' WARNING LIGHT BLINKS, AND ENGINE DIES. AND EACH TIME THE SERVICE WRITER TELLS ME THEY CAN FIND NO PROBLEMS. ACCORDING TO AUTOMOTIVE NEWS REPORT DATED FEB. 2, 2015, THIS IS NOT NEW NEWS. JAN. 11, 2017, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AFTER DARK, IN THE INSIDE LANE, AND THE ENGINE DIED, AND HAD TO COAST TO THE UNSAFE INSIDE SHOULDER AGAINST THE BARRIER WALL, WITH NO WAY FOR ME TO COME TO HER RESCUE. CALLED A WRECKER, TOWED THE JEEP HOME, ONLY TO GET HOME AND CHECK IT OUT, AND FIND NO EVIDENCE OF ANY PROBLEMS. WHAT'S MORE, THE SERVICE WRITER ALSO TOLD ME THE USUAL AMOUNT OF OIL THIS ENGINE USES (ABOUT A QUART A MONTH) IS NORMAL. *TR

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.

VEHICLE BEING CONSIDERED FOR LEMON POLICY. VEHICLE IS SURGING / MOVING / CREEPING WHEN STOPPING AT LESS THAN 2 MPH. WIFE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERN. HAS FORCED US TO SEEK RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL CHRYSLER APPROVES SOLUTION. TRANSMISSION "KLUNKING" DURING 2ND TO 3RD GEAR SHIFT CHANGE. RECENT HESITATION FROM ENGINE WHEN STARTING IN 1ST GEAR AS NORMAL. THIS IS NEW TRANSMISSION AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE SINCE REPLACEMENT AND STALL ISSUE REPORTED DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING WHICH FORCED VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD WITH NO POWER. DEALER NOTIFIED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT AUTHORIZE RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL RESOLVED, VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. *TR

REPORTED OUR PROBLEM IN MAY 2016 -- RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE MONTHS AFTERWARD, HOWEVER, DEALERSHIP SAID "DIDN'T APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE" - WE HAD EXACT STATED PROBLEM ON THE RECALL NOTICE - SO CONFUSED, FRUSTRATED, NOT TO MENTION AFRAID TO TAKE VEHICLE ON LONG TRIPS ON EXPRESSWAYS - WE RENT CARS FOR THIS (OUR PROBLEM: VEHICLE TURNED "OFF" COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY EXPRESSWAY - WE ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE!)

ON BOARD COMPUTER, OBSTRUCTING MAJOR TRAFFIC LANES, DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) DEFAULTS THE TRANSAXEL TO NEUTRAL AND COMPLETE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. THE LOSS OF MOTVE MOTIVE COULD CAUSE CRASH WITHOUT POWER. UPDATED 01/17/2017*CT *CN

WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND MESSAGE ON DASH SAYS "CAR MUST BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO SHIFT." VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WE HAVE HAD IT TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLVE. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR'S MODEL THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF. HOWEVER, THE COMMON RESOLUTION IS DEALERSHIP STILL CLAIMING AN OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED. MOST RECENTLY OUR JEEP WAS 500 MILES UNDER THE DEALERSHIP'S RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE. I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S LIFE IF THIS STALL HAPPENS WHEN CROSSING BUSY HIGHWAYS IN TOWN. *TR

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

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD HARD SHIFTING EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2014. THERE'S A SLIGHT DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IN JANUARY OF 2016, MY VEHICLE ACTUALLY STOPPED ON ME WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE SCHOOL ZONE SO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING AT A SLOW SPEED. IT TOOK ME FOUR ATTEMPTS TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES IN JANUARY BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START, OR IF IT DID, ONCE I STARTED DRIVING THE ON DASH SCREEN WOULD SAY "SHIFT TO DRIVE" AND THEN THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION SO I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT BEFORE STARTING THE...

HARD SHIFTS, ODD SHIFT POINTS, HESITATES AND LURCHES INTO GEAR

FOR THE 3RD TIME - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CHECK GAS CAP LIGHT COME ON, ODOMETER STARTS FLASHING AND VEHICLE LOSES ALL ACCELERATION AFTER THOSE LIGHTS COME UP. YOU CAN FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WILL BARELY GET TO 40 MPH. LAST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY PERFORMED FLASHES (3 WEEKS AGO) AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHILE PULLING OUT OF A BUSY SHOPPING CENTER AND THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND HAD TO LIMP IT HOME TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISES THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS HOWEVER THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS MAKE\MODEL\YEAR HAVING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DOING 80 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO 40 MPH NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE HEATING OR AIR CONDITIONING UNITS WERE ACTIVATED, A MOLD ODOR EMITTED FROM THE AIR VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER SPECULATED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. AFTER THE REPAIR, WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE SOFTWARE WAS RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN...

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!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART THE LAST OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE AND BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED CHEST AND HAND INJURIES, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

SAFETY RECALL LISTED BELOW. NOTIFIED 2 MONTHS AGO. THIS CAN CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING!

TAKATA RECALL CAR BUCKING WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR. ALSO THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL OR GOING OVER BUMPS. IT GOT SO BAD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRE WAS GOING TO FALL OFF OR THE UNDERNEATH OF MY CAR. ALSO MY CAR WAS SHAKING WHEN IT WOULD HIT A BUMP. THERE WAS ALSO A WHINING NOISE THAT WOULD OCCUR WHEN I TURNED MY WHEEL EITHER WAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW, EVERYTIME I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT MY "CAR WAS FINE" WAS NOT UNTIL I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BALL JOINT. THIS WOULD OCCUR WHILE THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR SIDE ROADS, AS LONG AS THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. ALSO MY CAR WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN...

VEHICLE WILL STALL AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A SHUTDOWN OF THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, A LOSS OF ANY STEERING CONTROL, AN IMMEDIATE VEHICLE DECELERATION WITH NO ABILITY TO CORRECT BY ACCELERATING, AND A LOSS OF BRAKING CONTROL.

CAR RANDOMLY STOPS MOVING WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES WHILE TURNING A CORNER. SEEMS LIKE IT TURNS ITSELF OFF, BUT LIGHTS ON DASH ARE STILL ON. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT CAUSES IT AND AM HOPING THAT IT WILL BE RESOLVED ONCE THEY HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE TRANSAXLE WIRE HARNESS. HAVE BROUGHT IT TO DEALER A FEW TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING US IT HAS TO DO WITH THE 20% OIL LIFE. I DON'T SEE HOW THAT WOULD MAKE A CAR TURN OFF. AND WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A CAR THAT NEEDS TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED BEFORE THE OIL LIFE IS UP OR AT ALL.

AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD A ROUGH TIME SHIFTING. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT VIOLENTLY FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR AND ANYTIME YOU WOULD STOP ON AN INCLINE. WE HAVE HAD ALL THE NECESSARY RECALLS DONE TO THE VEHICLE BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN COMMUNICATING THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL I GET IS THAT WE ARE NOT USED TO THE 9 GEAR TRANSMISSION AND WE NEED TO GET USED TO IT. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN FOR THE FOURTH TIME TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT. ON A SECOND NOTE I HAVE ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN IN TO THE SHOP TO SEE WHY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO US ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS...

LOSS OF MOTOR POWER CAUSING ERROR CODES AND THE SHUT DOWN OF VEHICLE. VEHICLE SOMETIMES RESTARTS BUT OFTEN DOES NOT. THIS OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER 4 DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE APRIL 1016 AND STILL NOT BEING FIXED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND DEALER STATED PARTS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE TO REPAIR ISSUE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VALVE BODY AND PARKING BRAKE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE "HEAD LAMP OUT" WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND HEAD LAMPS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE AUTOMATIC POWER LOCKS FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR; HOWEVER, THE SPECIFICS OF THE REPAIR WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. ..UPDATED 10/13/16...

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS!! SURGING, HESITATION, SPEEDING UP, HARD SHIFTS CONTINUALLY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND IT WAS SERVICED MANY TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENTS. WHEN YOU TRY TO PULL OUT ONTO A ROAD, IT WILL HARD SHIFT INTO GEAR AFTER HESITATION, IT DOES THE SAME WHEN BACKING UP. IT CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE MANY TIMES DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE DANGEROUS, THEY FOLLOW A SEVERE STRAIGHT LINE AND WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS IT CAUSES YOU TO LOSE VISION OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU.

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...

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 -...

VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING, SHIFTING HARD ENOUGH TO LOSE TRACTION, AND SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AT RANDOM. TRANSMISSION IS STILL NOT FIXED NOR FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS ALSO TRIGGERS THE STABILITY CONTROL TO MALFUNCTION AND LOSE CONTROL ON SLIPPERY SURFACES. NOW THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FEATURE IS BROKEN AND NOT FUNCTIONING AS WELL. DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE MORE THAN 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 WEEKS, AND SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR IN THE TWO YEARS BEFORE. THIS VEHICLES TRANSMISSION IS A HUGE SAFETY AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL ISSUE.

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.
