2016 JEEP CHEROKEE Engine Problems

FAULTY ENGINE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. ENGINE PISTON BLOWN AT 54K, ON BRAND NEW 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE, AND CONSEQUENTLY REPAIRED UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. FCA AND DEALERSHIP DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH AND ATTEMPTED EVERYTHING TO AVOID THE REPAIR UNTIL I OBTAINED LEGAL COUNSEL. THE VEHICLE STILL RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE BEING OPERATED WHICH MAKES IT A DANGER TO ALL. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID STEMMED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WOULD GET "STUCK" IN A PARTICULAR AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO "JUMP" WHILE ATTEMPTING TO IDLE DOWN. LASTLY, THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO EFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. NEVERTHELESS, THIS IS ANOTHER PROBLEM ADDED TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE IS TRASH AND NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY RECALLED. SHAME ON FCA FOR SELLING...

CEI P0128 COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO COLD. NO OVERHEATING ISSUES, TEMPS HAVE REMAINED CONSISTENTLY. CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THERMOSTAT NEEDS REPLACING IN ONLY 4 YEARS FROM PURCHASE. TEMPS HAVE ONLY BEEN HOVERING AROUND FREEZING.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE APPROX. 58,000 MILES BEGAN SHUTTING DOWN WHILE EXITING THE PARKING GARAGE, STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND STEERING AND ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS LOST. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTIC WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND TO BE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN AGAIN BEGAN DISPLAYING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH COMPLETE SHUT DOWN. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION ON THIS WEB SITE AND OTHERS, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE DUE TO THE BUILT IN KILL SWITCH TO PROTECT THE ENGINE WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS INDEED LOW. PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH ALL RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. JEEP/CHRYSLERS SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM-CHECK YOUR OIL MORE OFTEN! THIS VEHICLE IS...

CEI P0128 COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO COLD. HAVING TO REPLACE THERMOSTAT ON A CAR ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. TEMPS HAVE NOT BEEN BELOW FREEZING & DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE LAST WINTER. THERMOSTAT IS STUCK OPEN SO GAS CONSUMPTION HAS INCREASED & HEAT HAS DECREASED.

THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED SEVEN TIMES NOW IN THE LAST MONTH. MOST RECENT WAS ON 11/14/2019. WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) ABOUT 25 MPH IN RESIDENTIAL AREA, JEEP TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP ON DASHBOARD TO "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR" (SEE PHOTO). I AM ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT CAR HAS TO BE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. IT TAKES A COUPLE OF TIRES TO RESTART THE ENGINE. UNKNOWN AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES AND TO LET THEM KNOW IF PROBLEMS CONTINUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I COULD HAVE BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT STALLED AND AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE COULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

ENGINE FAILURE WHILE GOING AROUND A BEND. STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND BREAKS WERE NONE FUNCTIONAL. THANK GOD I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15MHP IN TOWN AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COST OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MY DASHBOARD SAID SHIFT TO P (PARK) AND THEN DESIRED GEAR AND THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO RESTART IN PARK BUT JEEP WOULD NOT START. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES MY JEEP STARTED BACK UP AND RAN NORMAL. MY CONCERN IS IF I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK (WHICH I HAVE TO DO EVERYDAY AS I WORK OUT OF TOWN) WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED??? WOULD I EVEN BE WRITING THIS RIGHT NOW? THERE WAS NO WARNINGS, NO LIGHTS ON, NO INDICATION MY ENGINE WOULD FAIL WHILE ENGAGED WHAT SO EVER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN UP A HILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND "SHIFT TO P THEN TO THE DESIRED GEAR" WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT DROVE HOME. GLOBAL JEEP (1099 US-22, NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ 07060, (908) 200-2536) WAS CALLED AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CALL BACK WITH A DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT CHANGED THE BATTERY AND NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED VATLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (855 SOUTH, US-1, VERO BEACH, FL 32962, (772) 567-6633) AND AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS COMPLETED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AS IF IN THE PROCESS OF STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN, WHENEVER THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR ACCELERATING THE STALL LIKE JERKING WOULD OCCUR AGAIN.

MAKING A LEFT TURN, ENGINE SHUT OFF NO POWER, STATED I MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING (ALL KINDS). WOULD NOT RESTART FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. RAN FINE PRIOR TO THIS. FINALLY RESTARTED AND DROVE DIRECTLY TO DEALERSHIP (ITS ONLY ABOUT A MILE AWAY). EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED THEY HAD NO CLUE WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN BUT THEY CHECKED OIL WHICH WAS VERY LOW (WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE BEFORE). CHANGED OIL AND SO FAR SO GOOD. COMPLAINT - WHY WOULD ENGINE SHUT OFF BECAUSE OF THAT? WHY WOULD A BRAND NEW CAR WITH UNDER 30,000 MILES BURN THAT MUCH OIL? WHY DIDN'T THE INDICATOR TELL ME THERE WAS LOW OIL OR LOW OIL PRESSURE? IF THIS THING BURNS THAT MUCH OIL WITHIN THE ALLOTTED OIL CHANGE TIME - MAY NEED TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE - THIS IS DANGEROUS IF THE CAR...

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. HAVING TO REPLACE SHIFTER AND SHIFTING HARNESS. WHEN WARNING CAME ON ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND WAS NOT ABLE TO USE SHIFTER.

THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHILE DRIVING, AND HESITATES. LOOKS LIKE ENGINE IS SHAKEN. THE DEALER STATES THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

WHILE DRIVE THE POWER SHIFTER MESSAGED APPEARED, EVERY TIME I TURNED THE CAR OFF THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF THEN WHILE DRIVING WOULD COME BACK ON EFFECTING THE WAY THE VEHICLE DROVE. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE A SENSOR NOW MY ENGINE IS KNOCKING AND HARD SHIFTING. I KEPT UP ON OIL CHANGES AND OTHER MAINTENANCE THE CARE IS ONLY AT 44K FOR THE MILES.

AROUND 76K ON 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT ENGINE THAT MESSED UP GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I QUICKLY EXITED THEN IT SHUT OFF AND DID NOT WANT TO STAY RUNNING. NOW DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ZERO COMPRESSION IN CYLINDERS. I KEPT OIL CHANGED EVERY 3K DUE TO DAILY MILES. IT IS TERRIBLE THAT THE MANUFACTURE CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WITH ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING, THE SERVICE SHIFTER AND SEVERAL OTHER UNSPECIFIED WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NOLF CHRYSLER DODGE (2373 BROOKVILLE ST, FAIRMOUNT CITY, PA 16224, (814) 365-5251) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT PROVIDED CONCLUSIVE INFORMATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THIS DID NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE, AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN WHICH I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE BATTERY LIGHT SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY. AFTER COUPLE TIMES OF ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT FINE TO WORK. THIS WAS REALLY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WITH I HAD NO ENGINE PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY TO WARN THAT SUCH THING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE GEAR SHIFTER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED JIM ELLIS TOYOTA OF MCDONOUGH (144 HIGHWAY 81 W, MCDONOUGH, GA 30253, (770) 288-3755) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A CITY STREET AT APPROX. 35MPH, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF, STATING "SHIFT TO P AND THEN DESIRED GEAR" AND THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS BEFORE THIS OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, AND WAS THEN HESITANT TO RESTART. AFTER STARTING, THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD A BIT BUT WOULD NOT PROPERLY DRIVE, AND WAS TOWED HOME AND THEN ULTIMATELY TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSIONS ISSUE AND WAS ALSO FOUND TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE BATTERY 3 WEEKS AGO, SO THE SAFETY CONCERNS OF THIS VEHICLE CONTINUE TO GROW. AFTER RESEARCHING, I LEARNED THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE, OFTEN CAUSED BY LOW OIL, OR NO CAUSE FOUND. THERE ARE HIGH RISKS TO LIFE AND PROPERTY FOR A VEHICLE THAT WILL JUST SHUT DOWN AT WILL WITHOUT ANY WARNING.

JEEP CHEROKEE WOULDN'T START. IT TRIES TO TURN OVER, ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND THE RADIO COME ON, BUT THE ENGINE WON'T START. I'VE TRIED JUMPING IT AND MADE SURE THERE WAS ENOUGH GAS, AND STILL HAD NO LUCK. HAPPENED LAST WEEK, HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE.

PURCHASED 2106 JEEP CHEROKEE IN APRIL 2019. HAD CAR LOOKED OVER AND OIL CHANGED APRIL 19, 2019 @30,141 MILES. ON 8/14/19 THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE LEAVING A STOP SIGN. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH AND DISPLAY INSTRUCTS YOU TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTS. THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. 8/24/19 THE SAME EVENT HAPPENS AGAIN, EXCEPT ON A BUSIER ROAD. VERY SCARY AND CONCERNED ABOUT BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. 4 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART CAR, FINALLY STARTS AND I DRIVE DIRECTLY TO MECHANIC. 8/27/19 HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES TO MECHANIC, WHO AGREES THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN MOVING TRAFFIC. THE COMPUTER DOES NOT INDICATE ANY PROBLEM. BASED ON INFORMATION I HAD FOUND ON LINE, HE CHECKS THE OIL TO FIND NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. CAR IS @ 35,242 MILES & CONSUMED 4 QTS OF OIL DURING 5100 MILES....

BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 17K MILES AND NOW HAVE 50K. 10K BEFORE THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT AND DEALER WILL ONLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE WILL SHOW THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME IT IS AT THE DEALER. ISSUE IS UNPREDICTABLE. CAR JERKS HARD FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, ALMOST AS IF YOU HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. CAR HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING TO HIGHER SPEED UPON ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS ALSO A PRONOUNCED "TICKING" NOISE WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING/IDLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD GEARS, AND LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE RPMS FAILED TO INCREASE TO 2,000 AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT USED THE LPB READER AND RECEIVED CODE: P0887 (TCM HIGH VOLTAGE). THE CONTACT CALLED EAST TENNESSEE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2774 N MAIN ST, CROSSVILLE, TN 38555, (931) 463-3640), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR ON DASH BOARD. ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFTER COME ON AT ONCE P,R, N,D. IT ONLY COMES ON WHEN DRIVING AND DOESN'T GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. IT ISN'T DAILY BUT IT'S STILL SCARY.

MY WIFE'S JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH HAS STALLED WHILE MAKING A SLIGHT RIGHT TURN. THE DISPLAY SIGNALS ENGINE, AND BATTERY FLASH AND THEN THE CAR DIES WITH NO POWER INSTANTLY. MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS COMMUTING DURING RUSH HOUR THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED AND THIS NEARLY CAUSED HER TO BE REAR ENDED. LUCKILY THE DRIVER BEHIND HER WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND AVOIDED THE COLLISION. NOW MY WIFE WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER FOR 5 MINUTES UNTIL THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. AFTER A LOT OF ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND 90 PLUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE 2.4 L MOTOR IN THE 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT CAUSES THIS STALLING BASED ON LOW OIL LEVELS. SO THIS POORLY ENGINEERED ENGINE BURNS 1 QT OF OIL PER 1000 MILES, THIS CAUSES YOUR OIL TO RUN SIGNIFICANTLY LOW BEFORE...

VEHICLE, WHILE IN MOTION, STALLS AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED. BEING TOLD OIL BURNS TOO QUICKLY IN THESE VEHICLES AND THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THE CAR HAS ALTHOUGH IT HAS ALMOST COST ME MULTIPLE SERIOUS/POTENTILLY FATAL COLLISIONS WITH MY INFANT CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. NO OIL INDICATOR HAS EVER TURNED ON INDICATING OIL LEVEL IS LOW. HAD SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AT 15,000 MILES IN WHICH ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED BUT NOW IS DOING THE SAME THING AS BEFORE. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE AMONGST JEEPS - WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND OUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN ARE AT RISK AS I ALMOST WAS T-BONED TODAY AS MY ENGINE STALLED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN BUT HAD NOT YET MANEUVERED AND WAS LEFT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE BLOCKING ONCOMING...

THE PROBLEM STARTED 7/23/2019. THE JEEP IS STOPPING RANDOMLY AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. IT STARTS BACK UP BUT THE AC IS ON DEFROST AND I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK ON COOL. THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS I READ ABOUT SOME REVIEWS THAT STATED IT COULD BE BECAUSE AN OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED. SINCE IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE, I DID THAT. BUT THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING, RANDOMLY STOPPING. ALSO CHANGED A DIRTY AIR FILTER. SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR 7/29/19 AND WILL SEE IF JEEP CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET ALL OF THE GEAR SHIFTS LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHERE YOU SEE YOUR MILEAGE THAT SCREEN READ SERVICE SHIFTER. THIS STAYED VISIBLE UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE CAR ALSO JERKS WHILE IN MOTION AND THE BRAKES WHERE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED LAST WEEK FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM BUT ITS STILL FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE GRINDING.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE HAS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. A "SHIFT GEAR" LIGHT WARNING APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD. BOTH TIMES IT OCCURED SHORTLY WHILE STARTING TO DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. THEREFORE, OCCURED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF STARTING THE ENGINE. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURED WITHIN SECONDS AFTER TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT.

BOUGHT A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 60MILES ON IT WITHIN 3 WEEKS CAR SHUT OFF 3 TIME WHILE DRIVING WITH SIGNAL SHIFT GEAR COMES ON. HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF CAR AND TURN ON A FEW TIMES AND IT WILL BE FINE TWO MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN THIS TIME HAPPENING A FEW TIME IN THE SAME DAY A FEW MINUTES APART. THIS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHILE YOUR DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED FWD, MISFIRING AND SHAKING BEGAN WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING AFTERWARDS FOR 1/2 MILE. AUTOMATIC START/STOP WAS ON. PULLED OFF ROAD AND TURNED ENGINE OFF AND LET SET FOR 1-HOUR. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND BEGAN SHAKING AND MISFIRING AGAIN. THIS TIME ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND START/STOP SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON. SHUT VEHICLE OFF AGAIN AND LET SIT FOR 30 MINUTES. STARTED VEHICLE AGAIN AND PUT IN REVERSE, DROVE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AND MISFIRING AGAIN WHILE GOING THROUGH THE SHIFTING SEQUENCE. DROVE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND IT DID THIS THE ENTIRE WAY, APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I WAS DRIVING IT WAS STILL HAPPENING. THE SHAKING/MISFIRING SEEMED TO SUBSIDE A LITTLE WHEN A/C WAS NOT IN USE. IN ADDITION TO OTHER WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON, SERVICE-SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WHILE MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN.

VEHICLE STALLS AND CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WITHOUT WARNING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON AND NO EXPLANATION. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. OIL CONSUMPTION TEST RESULTED IN AN ENGINE REPLACMENT FROM SCRATCHING ON INSIDE CYLINDER WALLS. NEW ENGINE 11-2017. NEW ENGINE IS STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING AND IS BURNING OIL. CAR WILL SHUT OFF.

WHILE IN MOTION: 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL RANDOMLY LOSE ENGINE POWER DURING A RIGHT TURN (ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND AT LOW SPEED ON CITY STREET), STEERING LOCKS UP, DECELERATES AUTOMATICALLY, AND DASH SAYS TO PUT VEHICLE INTO MANUAL MODE AND SELECT THE DESIRED GEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TWO TIMES.

VEHICLE STALLS DURING DECELERATION INTO RIGHT HAND TURNS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. DEALERSHIP IS DENYING ANY PROBLEMS EXIST AND CANNOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. ONLINE COMPLAINTS STATE THAT SOME DEALERSHIPS STATING IT IS DUE TO LOW OIL AND OIL CONSUMPTION IS VERY HIGH AND PROBLEM CAN OCCUR EVEN WITH VEHICLE MAINTAINED TO MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND MAKE IT RIGHT NO MATTER THE COST. NO WARNING OR TROUBLE LIGHTS PRIOR TO COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THEY JUST RECALLED THE 2019 MODELS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM BUT THEY NEED TO RECALL PRIOR YEARS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY WERE CARS OUR TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

THIS ISSUES HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. I AM DRIVING WITH NO ISSUES AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOSES SPEED. I WILL GO FROM 70-0MPH WITH IN SECONDS, ALL THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON ON MY DASH BOARD AND I AM UNABLE TO SPEED UP OR EVEN STEER OUT OF THE WAY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER,NO CARS BEHIND ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT WITH OUT A QUESTION. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CAR SHUT DOWN WITH OUT ACTUALLY TURNING OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR ME BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED. AS SOON AS THEY WOULD CONNECT IT TO DIAGNOSE THEY SAID THE CODES WOULD CLEAR AND THE CAR...

I TURNED ON THE CAR, LET IT WARM UP FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. PUT IT IN DRIVE, I WAS ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON, THE CAR STALLED AND THE MOTOR TURNED OFF. THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN DRIVE AND I HAD TO FORCEFULLY FIND A WAY TO MOVE IT TO NEUTRAL OR PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. WHEN I CHECKED THE FLUIDS ON THE VEHICLE EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE OIL DIP STICK. ALL THE OIL HAD BURNED AWAY AND I WAS STILL ABOUT 2000 MILES AWAY FROM NEXT OIL CHANGE. ALL MY OIL CHANGES WERE DONE AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND WE USED SYNTHETIC OIL TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS THAT NO WARNING SIGNS ARE GIVEN TO THE DRIVERS AND THAT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF IN...

OIL DOES NOT LAST DURING OIL CHANGES, I HAVE TO ADD OIL. THERE IS NOT A LEAK OR ANY ISSUE, IT IS JUST BURNING WAY TOO FAST. MY JEEP WAS CUTTING OFF RIGHT AFTER I WOULD START DRIVING (USUALLY RIGHT AFTER A TURN) AND I HAD NO IDEA WHY UNTIL I NOTICED OIL WAS EXTRA LOW. SO NOW I JUST MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT FULL BETWEEN CHANGES. DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE THIS IS A NUISANCE.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, STEERING LOCKS AND THE DASH LIGHTS UP WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS PUT VEHICLE AND "PARK" AND THEN SELECT DESIRED GEAR. I HAVE TWO SMALL SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. I KEEP MY VEHICLE UP TO DATE ON MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. I READ OVER 100 PEOPLE'S EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS ON LINE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT I AM PAYING A CAR PAYMENT, HAVE LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON A LESS THAN 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, AND HAVING THESE KIND OF SAFETY CONCERNS. WE HAVE ONE VEHICLE, LIMITED MEANS, AND TONS OF THERAPY APPOINTMENTS. TODAY, MY CAR DIED WITH NO WARNING ON A BUSY ROAD, GIVES ME APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS TO PULL TO SAFETY BEFORE THERE IS NO SPEED/ABILITY TO MANUEVER THE VEHICLE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE RISK IS SO HIGH, AND THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS...

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER IN THE BRAKES, ACCELERATOR AND STEERING WHEEL. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT A FEW TIMES TAKING A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON MAY 6TH ON A BUSY STREET, ONCE ON MAY 9TH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND TWICE ON MAY 11TH ON ANOTHER BUSY STREET. THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR. I WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 3 MONTHS OR 2000 MILES. NO OIL LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON TO WARN ME ALL MY CAR KEPT DOING WAS STALLING TELLING ME TO SHIFT TO PARK. I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN OR...

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR CHECKED OIL THERE WAS NONE I AM NOT DUE FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE FOR 500 MILES I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 19,000 MILES I HOPE THIS IS FIXED IF NOT I WILL BE GETTING RID OF THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE AN JEEP PRODUCT EVERY AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT 20 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND "SHIFT TO KEY FOR PARK TO SELECT THE DESIRED GEAR" APPEARED ON THE INSTUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE THREE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT CALLED SANSONE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (LOCATED AT 100 US HIGHWAY, US-1, AVENEL, NJ 07001, (866) 809-9999) AND A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,280. *DT

THE DIP STICK ONLY REACHING THE TOP 3 QUARTS OF OIL.I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF MID DRIVE(IN MOTION) TO PROTECT THE ENGINE EVEN IF YOU ARE GOING 70 MPH(ON THE CITY STREET, HIGH WAY, OR LOCAL ROAD AND WHILE TURNING). THIS IS SO THE ENGINE DOES NOT BURN THE OIL. THIS MEANS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT AND LOOSES POWER AND CONTROL WITH NO NOTIFCATION.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER JUST A COUPLE MINUTES IN MY SUBDIVISION THE VEHICLE STALLED & WOULD MOVE. I MADE 2 TURNS, ONE RIGHT & ONE LEFT THEN IT STALLED. THE "CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT" WENT ON & SAID "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR". AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT RESTARTED. THE JEEP MANUAL INDICATED NOT TO DRIVE IT WITH THIS CODE SO I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER & THEY DID A PCM FLASH UPDATE. THEY TESTED THE OIL LEVEL & SAID IT WAS FINE. NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AGAIN TOWED IT TO DEALER. THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT & CHANGED THE BATTERY. THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO REPLICATE WHAT HAPPENED & INDICATED THERE WERE NO STORED CODES. THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE VEHICLE STARTED, I BEGAN DRIVING AROUND THE CORNER IN THE SUBDIVISION AFTER TURNING RIGHT AND AGAIN THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED WITH SAME...

JEEP CHEROKEE BEGINS TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT HESITATION WHILE IDLE AND UNRESPONSIVE MANEUVERABILITY DURING ACCELERATION. IGNITION COILS FAIL ON 2.4L ENGINE WITH CONSISTENCY - #4, #2, #3 (3 OF 4 IGNITION COILS) CAUSING MISFIRE IN ENGINE CHAMBER. LACK OF CONTROL DURING ACCELERATION / DECELERATION CREATE HIGH CONCERN FOR SAFETY WHILE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND GENERALLY WHILE DRIVING.

MY VEHICLE JEEP WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND I ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN MY JEEP SLOWED WAY DOWN. WHEN I ACCELERATED IT WOULD HARDLY MOVE. MIND YOU I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE!! VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD WITH MY JEEP WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY IT JUMPS BUCKS AND REVS UP ON ITS OWN WHEN IT WAS DOING THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO BE HOOKED UP TO TESTER TO SEE WHY MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON? HAD TO REPLACE COIL PACK #4 AND I DID IT AGAIN 6 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD TO REPLACE COIL PACK #2. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 59064 MILES. I AM VERY SCARED TERRIFIED AND NERVOUS DRIVING ME JEEP.

VEHICLE IS LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ON TIME. USES OIL, THERMOSTAT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. SPENT THREE HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE SHIFTER ISSUE. ONE HOUR LATER THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME BACK ON!

WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER IN THE BRAKES, ACCELERATOR AND STEERING WHEEL. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS GOING UPWARDS OF 25MPH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT A FEW TIMES TAKING A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ON THE 14TH OF MARCH AND ONCE ON THE 15TH OF MARCH. I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAVE TOLD PEOPLE TO MAKE SURE TO CHECK THEIR OIL. I WAS TOLD THE DIPSTICK DOES NOT REACH THE BOTTOM OF THE OIL PAN AND ONLY GOES DOWN ABOUT HALFWAY (3 OF THE 6 TOTAL QUARTS THE PAN HOLDS). WHEN THE DIPSTICK DOES NOT "FEEL" OIL THE ENTIRE CAR ESSENTIALLY SHUTS DOWN...

MY JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 2016'S ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF MID DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES WHILE ON THE ROAD FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS OR SO. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS OR WHOMEVER MAY BE WITH ME IN MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE ISSUE BEGINS WITH THE DASH STARTING TO FLICKER, THE AC AND RADIO WILL SHUT OFF, ANY ACTIVELY ENABLED FUNCTIONS WILL SHUT OFF/DISABLE (LANE SENSE, CRUISE CONTROL, AUTO START/STOP), TWO TIMES OUT OF THE THREE, THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF SECONDS AFTER, CAUSING THE GREATEST RISK TO SAFETY SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ESSENTIALLY CRUISING WITH NO POWER WHATSOEVER AT AN AVERAGE OF 70MPH (MOSTLY DRIVE ON FREEWAYS/HIGHWAYS), FORCING ME TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/SHOULDER IN ORDER TO BREAK TO A FULL STOP, PLACE THE VEHICLE ON PARK AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE IN...

CAR SHUTS OFF WITH OUT WARNING WHEN DRIVING.

HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES IN ONE YEAR FOR REPLACEMENT OF SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COIL. CAR RUNS ROUGH AND SHAKES. 53000 MILES, HAVE HAD IT SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW. FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IN IT.
