2016 JEEP CHEROKEE Engine Problems

GEAR SHIFT ERROR LIGHTS! WHILE DRIVING ALL THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS CAME ON. PULLED OVER TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. WHEN I PICKED UP TO SPEED THE LIGHTS CAME BACK. THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN TURNING AND STARTED JERKING WITH TAKE OFF. ONCE THE POWER SHUTS OFF THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START AND TURNED OVER UNTIL IT CAUGHT ON. I DRIVE AROUND A LARGE CITY WITH LOTS OF HIGHWAYS FOR A LIVING AND I AM AFRAID THE CAR MAY LOSS POWER IN TRAFFIC! THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SUMMER 2020

ENGINE CUTS OUT WITH NO WARNING WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION. IMMEDIATE LOSS OF STEERING, BREAKING, AND POWER. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT 10-15 MPH FOLLOWING ROAD TO THE RIGHT ON A RISE. IMMEDIATE RISK OF COLLISION FROM FOLLOWING CARS.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING! APPARENTLY WHEN OIL IS LOW, ENGINE IS BUILT TO SHUT OFF AS A SAFETY FEATURE! NO OIL LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING VEHICLE WITH NO WARNING. CHECKED THE FORUMS ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF SAME ISSUE. THESE VEHICLES (MINE INCLUDED) ARE BURNING OIL LIKE CRAZY! ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE VEHICLE HAD 60K MILES ON IT. WILL BURN THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN 3K MILES OR LESS AND THEN VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF BECAUSE OF NO OIL!

EIGHT TIMES NOW MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL JUST QUIT. DEALERSHIP KEEPS MAKING ME CHECK MY OIL MYSELF. I AM 3000 MILES BEFORE A SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE AND THE VEHICLE HAS JUST STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS . I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 ON ALMOST ALL ROADS. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI WAITING FOR A TOW. I GOT HOME AND AGAIN MY OIL IS LOW. MY CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL. AGAIN I WILL HAVE TO TOW TO DEALER FOR THEM TO PUT OIL IN AND DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS IN FULL MOTION. DASHBOARD GIVES A WARNING TO PUT CAR IN GEAR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT IS IN GEAR

VEHICLE ENGAGES EMERGENCY BREAK AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION WHILE IN MOTION'REDUCING THE SPEED TO 0. IT FORCES A RESTART AND ONCE THE RESTART IS DONE VEHICLE WILL MAKE ABRUPT SOUNDS WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. STEERING WILL BECOME STIFF AND VEHICLE WILL DO THIS ON REGULAR STREET ROAD OR HIGHWAY MAKING IT DANGEROUS. ONCE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED A FEW TIMES SENSORS CLEAR OUT. IT'S BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

CAR SHUT DOWN IN MIDDLE OF ROAD, HAPPENED FEW MORE TIMES, CAR IS CONSUMING GAS IN LESS THEN 700 MILES, MECH SAYS ITS A ENGINE ISSUE, I HAVE TO REFILE EVERY FEW DAYS, CAR IS STRUGGLING TO MOVE, I FEAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN IF I DO NOT FILL IN A DANGEROUS LOCATION

VEHICLE STALL WHILE PARKED OR DURING MID TURN. VEHICLE WOULD ALSO HAVE SOME SORT OF OVERHEATING WHICH CAUSES ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ONE AND VEHICLE STARTS TO LOSE POWER CAUSING LIGHTS TO HAVE A SHORT FLICKER. ALL ISSUE HAPPEN DURING MOTION AND WHILE PARKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART HOWEVER, THERE WAS A DELAY AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEYS AUTO CENTER (1618 N ROOSEVELT BLVD, KEY WEST, FL 33040) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE JEEP HAS 36.4K MILES. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR IS OVERHEATING AND SHOOTS ALL THE WAY HOT INTO THE RED AND THEN COOLS DOWN, THEN GOES UP AGAIN. IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 15 MIN. WE FILLED IT WITH ANTIFREEZE. THERE IS NO LEAK. THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM BUT MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S AN ENGINE DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX. IT ALSO HAS A CYLINDER MISFIRE THAT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE FIXED BY CHRYSLER TWICE IN SEPTEMBER AND DECEMBER BECAUSE IT CHUGS WHEN I START THE CAR AND AT STOP LIGHTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEY SAY IT'S BAD SPARK PLUGS. I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 14 MILES A DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLUE RIBBON CHEVROLET BUICK GMC INC (1701 S KERR BLVD, SALLISAW, OK 74955, (918) 416-4590) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW AND AS A FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO LOW OIL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE AN OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SHUT DOWN MID TURN OR WHILE DRIVING. ON MANY TURNS, IT DIES AS I COMPLETE THE TURN. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY JEEP'S ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN ON A CITY STREET IN MORNING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. MY JEEP DEALER SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO "10-11 CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE/RAM VEHICLES". HIS SUGGESTIONS WAS "TO GET AN OIL CHANGE" AND IT WILL FIX IT. I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSIEST STREET IN THE CITY DURING LUNCH TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-7 TIMES THIS YEAR. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING. I IMAGINE THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY AND FREE WAY WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS. CARS WERE SWERVING TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH MY...

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OUT OF NO WHERE MY JEEP BEGUN TO STALL AND ALL THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND LOST POWER, I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THIS IS THE 3 TIME IT HAPPENS IN 2 DAYS IT RUNS FINE AND OUT OF NO WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS. I CHECKED WITH THE CODE READER AND ALOT IF CODES WITH THE LETTER U POPPED UP STEERING WHEEL SENSOR AND OTHER THINGS I'VE NEVER HEARD OFG I WAITED FOR THE VEHICLE TO GET COLD CHECKED THE HARNESS AND PUT A NEW BATTERY. BROUGHT IT TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR CHECKED AT ADVANCED AUTO AND THE ALTERNATOR IS FINE. LEAVING ADVANCED AUTO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I HAD TO CALL ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE JEEP HOME. THIS MORNING IT STARTED RUNNING FINE ON OUR WAY TO THE STORE A...

ENGINE BURNS TO MUCH OIL. OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON UNTIL ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. CAR STOPS SUDDENLY AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. AN ERROR MESSAGE WILL POP UP TELLING YOU TO PUT YOUR CAR IN PARK AND YOU'LL HAVE TO TRY TO START IT A COUPLE TIMES AND IT WILL TURN OVER BEFORE START.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT SHIFTER STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ON AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THE SAME VEHICLES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED AND I JUST GOT IT. IT LOCKED UP ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT SHIFT IN TO NEUTRAL OR IN GEAR SO I COULD GET IT OUT THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I FINALLY GOT IT TO RELEASE INTO NEUTRAL AND IT ROLLED BACK OFF THE ROAD. NOW IT SAYS SERVICE E BRAKE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS WAY BEYOND YOUR TYPICAL CAR ISSUE THAT CAN BE FIXED FOR A FEW BUCKS. UNSAFE FOR MY KIDS.

SERVICE TRANSMISSION ERROR ALERTING AFTER CAR REACHES 50MPH. CAR LOSES ABILITY TO CHANGE GEARS AND DROPS DRASTICALLY IN SPEED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. AFTER RESET WHICH ONLY LASTS A SHORT TIME AND ERROR CONTINUES. WHEN CAR IS PUT IN PARK TEMPORARILY RESETS BUT THEN ERRORS AGAIN OVER AND OVER WHEN SPEEDS INCREASE. RED SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON REGARDLESS OF ANY RESET.

CAR HAS HAD REPETITIVE ISSUES LOSING POWER DIRECTLY AFTER A SHARP RIGHT HAND TURN. COMPLETELY LOSES POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS BUT LONG ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY BE REAR ENDED. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR THE LAST 30,000 MILES AND SEEMS NO HELP IS COMPING FROM THE DEALERSHIP OR MANUFACTURER. I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THAT IT WAS A LOW OIL ISSUE ALTHOUGH THE OIL WAS NOT LOW. THIS IS THE V6 VERSION AND DOES NOT CONSUME OIL LIKE THE 4 CYLINDER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REFLASHED TWICE AND DEALERSHIP IS UNWILLING TO FIND SOURCE AND FIX. I HAVE ONE PARTICULAR TURN ON TO A INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I MAKE EVERY DAY AND THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY STALLS ON THAT TURN. IT IS A POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THERE...

I HAVE OWNED MY 2016 CHEROKKE SINCE JAN 2020 IN APRIL IT BEGAN TO RUN FUNNY THATS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE SUFFERING FROM EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE BEEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS DOING OIL CONSUMPTION TEST JUST TO BE TOLD I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE A NEW TEST HAS TO BE STARTED. NOW HERE I AM WITH THE SAME ISSUE JUST THE RUN AROUND. I ALSO HAVE A TRANS THAT CLUNKS AND BANGS INTO GEAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL HANG BEFORE SHIFTING OR GEAR HUNT AND TRY TO SHIFT INTO TWO GEARS AT ONCE. I TOLD THE DEALER THIS TO BE TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL OR THAT MY BRAKES WERE THE PROBLEM. IT STILL HASNT BEEN RESOLVED IM STUCK PAYING ON THIS JUNK I OWE MORE THAN ITS WORTH SO I CANT GET RID OF IT. I JUST WANT JEEP TO TAKE ACCOUNTABLITY AND FIX IT OR REPLACE IT. ALL...

WAS TURNING LEFT AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF MIDTURN WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED TOOK JEEP IN SHOP DIDN'T FIX WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY ALSO WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL JEEP INSTRUMENT WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND LOST ALL POWER COASTED TO A STOP RESTARTED, SHIFTING BECAME SLUGGISH MOTOR STARTED KNOCKING TOOK TO SHOP TO GET FIX SPEND OVER 2000 BUCKS TO GET FIX NOW THEY WANT 7000 BUCKS FOR ENGINE

WHEN TURNING, LEFT OR RIGHT MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE STALLED. IT EMITTED A DING SOUND AND FLASHED THE MESSAGE 'SHIFT GEAR TO PARK FIRST'. THE BATTERY LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF. I LOST POWER STEERING AND ACCELERATION. IT HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES SINCE DECEMBER 2019, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. I SUSPECT THE OIL LEVEL BEING LOW IS THE CAUSE. BUT I HAVE NO INDICATION THAT THE OIL LEVEL GETS LOW.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2016. AT 33,000 MILES THE ENGINE FAILED RESULTING IN THE CAR SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATING IN MOTION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT IN AND WAS TOLD THE SPARK PLUGS FAILED AND THEY WERE REPLACED. AT 58,000 MILES THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS AND THESE WERE REPLACED AGAIN. AT 74,100 IT HAPPENED A THIRD TIME. I BROUGHT IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. AT THIS TIME, THE CAR WAS ALMOST 10,000 OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS OIL LEAKING OUT OF MY ENGINE ONTO MY SPARK PLUGS CAUSING THE SPARK PLUGS TO MUD UP AND FAIL AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. AFTER SOME ARGUING BACK AND FORTH, FCA, USA AGREED TO SUPPLY A NEW ENGINE IF I PAID FOR THE LABOR, WHICH I DID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ROUGH IDLING. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO QUIRK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (830 PLAIN ST, MARSHFIELD, MA 02050) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT CYLINDER NUMBER 3 FAILED AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT LOW COMPRESSION ON CYLINDER NUMBER 3 SHOWED INTERNAL FAILURE WITH DTC NUMBER: P0303 (CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

WITHOUT WARNING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE CHECKED THE OIL AFTER THIS OCCURRED AND THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL LEFT. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35-45 MPH AND WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS. THE OIL IS CONSISTENTLY CHANGED AT 5000 MILES AND THIS OCCURS AFTER ABOUT 2000 MILES

MY CAR STARTED UP FINE THEN I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND MY CAR LITERALLY STOPPED AND DIED . I TURNED THE KEY AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START UP . I WAITED AGAIN AND IT STILL WOULDN'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY SO I HAD SOMEONE USE JUMPER CABLES I WAITED A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND MY CAR STARTED UP . THEN THE NEXT DAY I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP THEN MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD WHEN THE OIL GETS TO LOW THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DIES THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS , THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT'S VERY COMMON IN MY TYPE OF JEEP. SO I'VE BEEN CHECKING MY OIL AND EVERY 2 DAYS I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR BECAUSE I'M SCARED THAT MY CAR WILL STOP ON A MAJOR HIGH WAY .BECAUSE THERE WAS NO...

FIRST THIS JEEP USES OIL FAST. I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN THE CAR WAY BEFORE IT'S DUE TO BE CH AGED. THE CAR WILL STALL AND STOP AND HAVE NO POWER. IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HWY AND WOULD NOT GO. I HAD TO CUT IT OFF AND BACK ON IT WOULD GO ABOUT 500 FEEL AND DO IT AGAIN. NOW THIS JEEP HAS LEFT ME STRANDED A FEW TIMES. IT JUST WOULD NOT CRANK. REPLACED BATTERY IN KEY FOB AND STILL NOTHING. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN AND FLASH CODES. IT TOLD ME TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION ABOUT 54000 MILES AND WOULDN'T GO. BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY UPDATED IT BUT THOSE PROBLEMS ONLY FIXED IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. *TR

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4 X 4 OVERHEATED BURSTING 2 COOLING HEATER HOSES, DRAINED OUT ALL THE ANTIFREEZE COOLANT. MECHANIC HOPES THAT HEAD GASKET WILL BE THE ONLY DAMAGE OTHERWISE CAN RUIN THE ENGINE AND THAT WILL CAUSE A ENGINE REPLACEMENT WHICH WILL BE A VERY HIGH COST. *TR

CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, NOT EVEN PUT IT INTO PARK. WAS GOING 70MPH. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE ENGINE KEPT STALLING WILL DRIVING. THE OIL WAS BONE DRY! *TR

STARTED HAVING SERVICE SHIFTER CODES AT APPROXIMATELY 30K. WOULD BE REPAIRED & AFTER ABOUT 8 WKS IT WOULD THROW THE SAME CODE. REPEATED THE SAME CYCLE 2 ADTL TIMES. TOOK A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES TILL THE ENTIRE SHIFTER, MODULE & WIRING WERE REPLACED. AT 40K MILES MY JEEP DIED ON ME GOING DOWN A HILL. HAD TO COAST DOWN HILL & FIND A HALFWAY SAFE AREA OFF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD NO ABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE. THE ELECTRONICS WOULD COME ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WOULD BE SOLID & THE SERVICE SHIFTER ALERT CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE ADVISER WALKED ME THRU HOW TO RESET THE CAR. WAIT FOR 5 MINUTES. TURN THE KEY ON & LET IT CYCLE. TURN THE KEY OFF. REPEAT THE PROCESS 3 X'S TILL IT STARTS. TOOK...

CAR SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING! LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION! DEALERSHIP EXPLANATION IS THAT THE OIL IS LOW AND CAR IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IF THE OIL IS LOW. I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND NO OIL LIGHT EVER CAME ON. MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME AND THAT THIS ENGINE BURNS A WHOLE QUART OF OIL PER 750 MILES!!!

WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION IN SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN AND SEEMS TO TURN OFF AND THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND IT STATES TO PUT CAR IN PARK. I'M UNABLE TO MOVE CARE AND STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOCKED

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. ALL THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON SHIFTER. CAR KEEPS SOUNDING LIKE IT'S REVVING ON ITS OWN. AND ALSO CAR KEEPS FEELING LIKE BRAKES TRYING TO SLOW DOWN CAR BY ITSELF, AND THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHILE IT SOUNDS LIKE REVVING AT SAME TIME.

MOTOR BLEW UP AT 72000 MILES, SMOKE FILLED INTERIOR OF VEHICLE MAKING NAVIGATION IMPOSSIBLE AND REAR TIRE WAS PUNCTURED BY MOTOR PARTS CAUSING VEHICLE TO LEAVE ROADWAY, INFORMED FIAT/CHRYSLER OF THE ISSUE OF MOTOR FAILING TO CYCLE OIL CAUSING MAJOR FAILURE OF COMPONENTS, THEY ARE AWARE OF ENGINE ISSUES YET REFUSE RESPONSIBILITY. MOTOR REPLACED AT COST OF 6,300. NO WARRANTY ON VEHICLE.

ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL BURNING UP AND SCOLDING THE CYLINDER WALLS. OIL CHANGE AND GUARANTEED 3000 MILES. LESS THAN 1000 MILES LATER ALL OIL GONE AND CYLINDER WALLS SCORCHED. NO LEAKS AT ALL THE CAUSE THE MISSING OIL. EVERY 1000 MILES DEALER HAVING TO TOP OFF OIL UNTIL NEXT OIL CHANGE.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WITH THAT..THE LIGHTS NEXT TO THE PARK, DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND DRIVE LETTERS ALL TURN RED. I'M TAKING IT TO A DEALERSHIP THIS SATURDAY AND I KNOW THAT IT WILL COST ME. I HAD MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR 1 AND 3 YEARS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED. MY CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RAINING ALL WEEK AND I DIDN'T WANT TO GET OUT INTO THE RAIN TO LET MY TWO KIDS INSIDE. I DROVE IT ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED. I READ THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING. SOME SAY THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE LIKE THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND OTHERS SAY THEY HAVE TO KEEP PAYING TO HAVE IT 'FIXED' BUT THE PROBLEM WITH KEEP HAPPENING. ALSO MY VEHICLE HAD...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPT TO MOVE FROM A STOPP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN AUDIBLE CHIME WAS HEARD WHILE THE BATTERY FAILURE WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRED MARTIN SUPERSTORE 3195 BARBER RD, BARBERTON, OH 44203 (330) 753-4444, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW AND THAT IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT AN OIL CHANGE BE PERFORMED. THE OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,527.

THANKFULLY, AFTER READING A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FROM THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY, WE WERE STILL IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN REVERSE AND STARTED TO BACK OUT WHEN WARNING CAME UP TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN SELECT GEAR. SO PUT IN PARK AND PUT INTO DRIVE TO PULL BACK INTO DRIVEWAY WHEN WARNING CAME ON TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 54000 MILES ON IT. READING OF A LOT OF PEOPLE HAS THIS SAME ISSUE, SOME WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE

FOLLOWING DAY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH . DEALERSHIP CONTACTED AND VEHICLE BROUGHT IN FOR INSPECTION. DEALER CONCLUDED THAT ENGINE HAD NO OIL, ALTHOUGH INTERNAL INDICATORS FAILED TO ADVISE AND SHOWED VEHICLE HAD 60% OIL LIFE REMAINING AND 3000 MILES UNTIL SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. DEALER ADVISED THAT VEHICLE IS KNOWN TO BURN OIL, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3X ALREADY. THE JEEP CHEREOKEE MANUAL STATES OIL CHANGES SHOULD BE DONE EVERY 8,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN GETTING MY OIL CHANGES WAY BEFORE THE STATED REQUIREMENT OF 8000. THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ENGINE. I HAVE A 10 MONTH BABY AND I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN AND STALLS. IAM SO SCARED FOR MY LIFE EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS ALL I HAVE . I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW!! MY ENGINE IS CLEARLY...

CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF ON RAMP. NO CONTROL BECAUSE CAR TURNED OFF.

WHILE IN DRIVE THE JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT (PREMIUM PKG) CAR CUTS OFF IN STREET 3X AND HWY 4X AND ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. CAR ALSO LOSES POWER/SPEED WHILE IN DRIVE AND ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN MAKING A TURN. CAR LOSES SPEED AND DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON BUSY HWY OR STREET.. BOUGHT CAR NEW WITH 16 MILES ON ODOMETER FROM CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER. MANUFACTURE WARRANTY EXPIRED 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM. MILEAGE 63,000 MILES. I HAVE AN EXPENSIVE EXTENDED DEALER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER SAYS ENGINE WILL BE REPLACED W/ NO DEDUCTIBLE AND NO ADDL CUSTOMER COST ACCORDING TO DEALER WARRANTY.. OIL GASKETS BLOWN ALSO WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE RECORD AT CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER.. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE AN EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO REPLACE AN ENGINE FOR A CAR UNDER 5 YEARS OLD. CAR HAS ONE DRIVER 62...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THEN WENT TO TAKE A LEFT AND MY CAR SHUT OFF. I GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO START IT,WOULD NOT START. I THEN WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND CALLED TOW TRUCK AND THEY BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP FOUND OUT IS BURNING OIL ONLY HAD 35;698 MILES AND WHEN THE CAR GETS DOWN TWO QUARTS OF OIL THESE CARS WILL SHUT DOWN WITH NO NOTICE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. NO DASH LIGHT COMES ON.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS MOSTLY IN THE MORNING AND AFTER MAKING A TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND EVENING. COULD BE A CRANKING ISSUE AS IT HAPPENS MOSTLY WITHIN A HALF HOUR OF STARTING. EVERY INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING HAS BEEN ON A STREET AND WHILE ACCELERATING IN MOTION. BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WILL SHUT OFF.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE THE VEHICLE HAS DIED OUT COMPLETELY ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A DING NOISE FOLLOWED BY A MESSAGE ON MY DASH BOARD THAT SAYS PUT CAR IN PARK THEN SWITCH INTO GEAR, WHEN I AM ALREADY IN DRIVE AND DRIVING THEN THE CAR STOPS AND THE BRAKES AND STEERING LOCKS UP COMPLETELY THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHES THEN THE WHOLE DASH GOES BLACK. THEN I HAVE TO TRYING TURNING IT OVER A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT WILL FINALLY START WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON OR ANYTHING AFTER IT JUST LOCKED UP AND DIED. THIS VEHICLE HAS DIED SEVERAL TIMES ON ME WHILE TURNING RIGHT, WHILE JUST DRIVING, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THIS HAPPENING AS FAR AS CODES THAT CAN BE BROUGHT UP OR ANYTHING...

I HAVE THE 2.4L IN MY CHEROKEE. THE SAME AS OTHER JEEP MODELS AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT THIS ENGINE LINE HAS. JEEP JUST SHUT OFF AND HAD TO RESTART. NO WARNING OR LIGHTS ON DASH TO INDICATE LOW OIL. I HAD JUST A DROP OF OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. ONLY DROVE JUST OVER 5000 MILES. DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL TO BURN OIL AND FCA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT WILL NOT REPAIR. THEY SAY ABOUT 70% OF THE 2.4 ARE AFFECTED ACROSS ALL MODELS. WITH ALL THE ISSUES I SEE ON FORUMS AND SOCIAL MEDIA IT SEEMS SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE WE GET TO THE THRESHOLD OF UNACCEPTABLE ACCIDENTS AND DEATH. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE AT A FCA DEALER. HARD TO BELIEVE IT JUST STARTED TO BURN OIL.

I WAS STOPPED ON A BUSY MAIN ROAD IN MY TOWN, TO MAKE A LEFT INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MY JEEP CHEROKEE STALLED. THE DASH LIT UP WITH PUT IN PARK AND RESTART CAR. I PUT IT IN PARK AND THE CAR RESTARTED. I DROVE TO MY HOUSE AND PARKED THE CAR. I HAD TO USE MY OTHER CAR TO GO TO WORK BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY IF I DROVE MY JEEP CHEROKEE.

ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION WITH FOOT ON ACCELERATOR (TRAVELING ~10MPH). . LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. NOTICE APPEARED ON DASHBOARD ABOUT SHIFTER. TRIED TO POWER ENGINE BACK ON TO NO AVAIL. WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 38,000 MILES AND THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING ASSEMBLY IS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2015/2016 CHEROKEES BETWEEN 30,000 AND 40,000 MILES. VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON OCCURRENCE, SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL? IF IGNORED, THIS COULD LEAD TO SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE.

DROVE CAR FOR ONLY 2-3 BLOCKS AFTER SITTING 8 HOURS WHILE AT WORK (FIRST TIME 11/12/19 - OUTSIDE TEMP IN THE 30'S) AND THE SECOND TIME OVERNIGHT IN UNHEATED GARAGE (11/23/19 - OUTSIDE TEMPS IN THE 30'S), WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT A STOPLIGHT TO ENTER ON TO A MAJOR ARTERY (FIRST TIME) AND A STOP-SIGN TO ENTER ONTO A RESIDENTIAL STREET (SECOND TIME) THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. BOTH TIMES CAR WAS NOT "WARMED-UP" BEFORE DRIVING. CONTACTED A LOCAL CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALER WHO GOT US IN FOR CHECK-UP 11/27/19 AND EVENTUALLY SAID THE ENGINE OIL WAS BELOW THE DIPSTICK AND IF THE OIL GETS TOO LOW THE ENGINE WILL GET HOT AND TO PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE DESPITE US TRAVELING FOR THE PAST 4 SUMMERS APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES FROM KANSAS CITY TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK AND...
