2016 JEEP CHEROKEE Vehicle Speed Control Problems

The PTU was bad and was replaced by the dealership under Chrysler extended warranty. The dealership then said the transfer case module and motor needed to be replaced and while at the dealership replacing those components they informed me that the rear differential axle is bad resulting from the bad PTU

Vibrating issue and missing fire originating from engine. Intake camshaft broken and left cylinder head is damaged and needs replacement. This should not be happening to this car. Cannot drive a faster rate either. There should be a claim out for all these issues.

The car is not shifting properly and will "jump" or "lunge" forward while driving. I have noticed that the RPM's will jump and bounce around, seemingly down shifting, then shift again, and then down shift again, which causes jerking motion.

While driving doe the highway the Dashboard lights go out and headlights turn off. Headlights and bulbs go out frequently. Rear license plate lights go out even after bulb replacement. Kicks cruise off while driving and shift gear control warning.

PTU problems. Grinding noise from rear when turning slow and accelerating. Remove fuse for ptu and noise goes away. Put fuse back in it is back. Vehicle moves a lot when put in park and sometimes when using remote start you can see the vehicle jump forward a couple feet. My vehicle has all symptoms from recalls NHTSA 20V-343, NHTSA 20E-037, NHTSA 23V-302. But my PTU part number of:68283349AA is not included in any recall. This needs to be looked at further and extend the recalls to all PTU’s on the Jeep Cherokees 2014-2017. Chrysler knows these are bad

The vehicle cut off on me while the vehicle was in drive and I was driving on the highway going 70mph. It has done this several times now. The car cuts off. The vehicle looses power.

Cruise control would not disengage. Instead it accelerated me to 85 mph is rush hour traffic. The car continued to accelerate will out responding to any commands to turn off cruise control. Second time this has happened. It was supposed to be fixed by doing an update to the car. This did not work. The second time I attempted to use cruise control after having had the long block engine replaced due to the oil consumption law suit, the car once again had the same problem with now slowing down. I tried putting the car into neutral and pressing the break. The car was accelerating so fast. The brakes had no effect without causing me to lose control. I was forced to put the car into a ditch at 75 mph. Rather than to rear end the dead stopped 3 lanes of traffic ahead of me and being pinned in...

4 wd service light comes on randomly, started the middle of February. It took a couple of weeks to get an appointment with the dealership. Twice in the past 2 weeks the car has slowed down, lost power in traffic to where I had to pull over and let the car go at a low speed until it would go at normal speed again. There is an active recall for the part needing to be replaced with the same year model however this VIN isn't listed in the recall.

The car has been stalling when the fuel level reaches the half point for over a year now. Now it is stalling at any time regardless of the fuel line level. Recalls completed and up to date. Informed it was a software issue. Car still performing the same after recall.

Since inception of purchasing the vehicle in January 2019, I have experienced a sudden jolt, banging sound/feeling. In the beginning the issue was subtle. In addition, I have felt a sudden loss of speed. It should be noted I did not seek any service at this time. As a side note, sometime in 2020/2021 i received a letter of a recall for fault PTU however this was for another jeep i owned no longer in my possession. This prompted me to call mopar to see if my current vin was possibly on that first recall of jeeps however i was advised it was not even though i had experienced the same issues described. Fast forward to as of recently august 2023, I received a recall letter with this current vin and proceeded to the nearest dealership for repair. I was advised the repair was a software update. As I was...

Ptu fail the second day of purchasing my car on my birthday with my 2 daughters was in the car with me a 1 year old and 2 year old the car made a big boom and stop it put it self in park. I took the car to a shop yes it was confirmed the ptu yes I took it to Jeep no they appeared after that happen

My 2016 Jeep Cheroke with 75,000 miles started to show a yellow 4WD service light. It would come on and off. I brought it to a Jeep service repair center, where it currently sits, and they confirmed the PTU is NO good. Needs to be replaced at a cost of over $3,000. And to make matters worse, I was advised not to drive the Jeep because it is a safety issue! Also, there is a recall out for "certain" Jeep Cherokees, not mine, with the same exact issue! My Jeep Cherokee was manufactured during the time of the recalled Cherokees but it isn't part of this recall at this point?! I do not have $3,000 to repair a failed PTU which is part of a recall but not my jeep "yet," but if I am driving the Jeep and the PTU totally fails, the Jeep will lose power to the...

I just bought my vehicle and I looked it’s been driving funny I took it to the shop they said I need my ptu fixed when I looked it up there is a recall but I don’t understand why my car not involved in the recall when it’s majority jeeps problem right now

Sometimes when I mash the gas pedal to pull out from a stop it hesitates and doesn't move, then is sluggish when it does. This has happened often. It's dangerous.

This problem started 3 o 4 day after I got the car from the dealer, I was driven to my work in highway 70 lonoke Arkansas and suddenly my car started to shift back and started to lose velocity and others cars started to pass me, was very scary ,I took the car to the dealer and they told me, they don't know what happen with the car,they don't let the mechanic to fix it and I took the vehicle to O'Reilly, they scanned it and found that was the Coil and Sparkle,so I bought both and they recommended the next door mechanic TIRE AND LUBE. In lonoke, the car run good for 2 months because I fix it February 8th 2023 and April 4 again I was driven back from my work, the check engine come one a message of transmission service show up, the car started to backup...

The component that needed replacement was the PTU (Power Transfer Unit). My Service 4WD drive light began going on so I brought it to my mechanic who told me there was a recall associated with this diagnostic code and to bring it to Jeep dealership. I then brought to dealership, was charged $160.00 and told that the recall was not for my particular VIN number and the cost of the repair was $3,000. When I googled this issue, there were all of the same warning lights, and all told that the PTU had failed. I fond it hard to believe that this same unit is faulty in the same year, make and model but only in specific cars? Isn't it the same part? I had to save up for the repair as it was costly. I was told that the car was drive-able. I was then driving with my daughter...

Car refused to exit cruise control, again Instead it accelerated. I pressed again and again cruise control to stop it did not respond. Repeatedly And more frantic I pushed pushed the button as stopped cars grew closer. The car started to accelerate instead and refused to stop Even when pressing the brake. I was able to push the brake down enough to get to engage neutral after multiple attempts. I feared fir my life and for others due to not being in control of the vehicle that was not responding to commands. I was told that the vehicle had been serviced for this problem when it happens to me prior and the dealership refused a free update due to a tsb saying it has been corrected already and I would have to pay. The dealer didn’t even not my vehicle as I asked. I was told if I’m not paying...

When Driving car if you began to go down hill the car will race motor and run away by its self It is very dangerous in curvy and hilly areas. This cay be caused on a daily bases

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, ENGINE WAS NOT GOING AND POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ALL ELECTRONICS WOULD NOT WORK UNTIL THE CAR COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK AND THEN TURNED BACK ON AS NORMAL. INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW AT SPEEDS OF 45MPH , 20MPH, 25MPH, AND 10MPH.

ON 01/16/2021 I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM 4TH TO 5TH AND MY ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. UPON GETTING HOME I PULLED THE OBD AND RECEIVED CODE P0887 WHICH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE RECALL OUTLINED THE SYMPTOMS I WAS HAVING TO A T. UPON CALLING JEEP AFTER READING THE RECALL I LEARNED THIS VIN WAS NOT RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS FOR THE RECALL WERE THE SAME WE WERE EXPERIENCING. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS ONLINE I THINK THIS IS A WIDER RECALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE SINCE THE RECALL AND SERVICE BULLETIN RELEASE DATE IN JUNE 2018 THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ATTACHED MY DIAGNOSTIC SCAN SO YOU CAN SEE THE FREEZE FRAME AND CODE BEING THROWN ON THE VEHICLE. THAT BEING SAID THIS CAR IS...

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.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, CAR STARTS TO MOVE THEN HESITATES AS IF SHIFTING TO A HIGHER GEAR, WAY TO EARLY. RPMS GO UP THEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BACK DOWN TO CORRECT GEAR, CAUSING JERKING REACTION AND THEN RUNS NORMALLY. THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THAT THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. PROBLEMS STARTED AROUND 2018 WITH AROUND 15000 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH A FRIEND, HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SET AND THE CAR STARTED SPEEDING UP, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DISENGAGE AND IT DIDNT SO I PRESSED CANCEL ON THE STEERING WHEEL IT JUST KEEP GOING, I KEEP TAPPING THE BREAK PEDAL, FINALLY IT JUST WENT OFF,I ASKED MY GIRLFRIEND IF SHE FELT THAT, SHE SAID YES I THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING IT, I WONDERED WHAT YOU WERE DOING..I HAD A RECALL ON MY CAR EARILER FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL AND TOOK IT IN BUT IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE IT WASNT FIXED PROPERLY. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY SAID SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE ID HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR..I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE.. THERE ARE ONLY 21683 MILES ON MY CAR..

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

AS I'M DRIVING, A DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THAT SAYS 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND ALL THE LIGHTS INDICATING WHAT GEAR I'M IN COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK AND I'VE BEFORE ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, TWICE ON A CITY STREET (45MPH) AND ONCE ON A HIGHWAY (65MPH). EACH TIME THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO CLEAR THE MESSAGE. *TR

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE-LATITUDE HAS 89000+ MILES ON IT. A FEW MONTHS AGO I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND BOUGHT FLUID FOR IT. COULDN'T FIND AN ACCESS POINT, SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP. GUY TOLD ME IT WAS A "CLOSED TRANSMISSION". TOOK IT IN THE BACK AND CLAIMED TO DO AN UPDATE. AFTER THAT, AN ERROR MSG BEGAN POPPING UP SAYING "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFT PANEL WERE RED. AFTER THIS BEGAN HAPPENING MORE I CALLED THE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE WHERE THEY HINTED IT MAY BE A RECALL. NOW DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $375 TO FIX IT. I'M READING FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS NO FIX, BUT KEEPS CHARGING PEOPLE. ONE GUY SAID HIS ACTUALLY STOPPED ON HIM ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE STREET AND THE HIGHWAY, EVENTUALLY STOPPING, SHUTTING...

BOTH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY WOULD SEEM TO GLITCH OUT WHILE OPERATING AT VARYING SPEEDS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. SEEMS TO LOSE POWER FOR VERY BRIEF SPURTS.

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

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...

DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY 60 MPH. LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES, FORWARD WARNING COLLISION AND OTHER CONTROLS. LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE CRASH INTO THE EMBANKMENT. ALMOST ROLLED THE VEHICLE. DEALER STATED STEERING MODULAR FAILED AND REPLACED STEERING RACK AND PINON SYSTEM. DEALER STATED 12 ACTIVE COMPUTER CODES SHUT DOWN ALL OF ABOVE FUNCTIONS. DEALER STATED COMPUTER STEERING COMPUTER MODULE FAILED CAUSING STEERING AND OTHER FUNCTIONS TO FAIL.

SPEEDOMETER READING IS OFF... CAUSED SPEEDING TICKET, BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS SPEEDING BECAUSE OF THE SPEEDOMETER READING WAS OFF. OFFICER SAID HE CLOCKED ME AT 94 MPH IN 70MPH, THOUGHT I WAS GOING 73....IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY

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.

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.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER AND MY DOG WITH ME AND HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 75 MPH. THERE IS A PART OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT DROPS TO 65 MPH SO I SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN TO 64 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY REVVED UP TO 5000 RPMS AND HIT 75 MPH AGAIN. THE CAR HAS BEEN SURGING LATELY BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE WEATHER GETTING COLDER. THE CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY TO 5000 RPMS, I KNOW IS NOT JUST THE WEATHER. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND I HAVE ONLY MADE 1 PAYMENT ON IT ABOUT TO PAY MY 2ND ONE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AUGUST 21, 2019 SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ALREADY. ALSO THERE IS A RATTLING IN THE ENGINE.

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.

ERROR MESSAGE THAT STATES: "SERVICE SHIFTER"ON THE DASH BOARD AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFTER BOX LIGHT UP

BANGS INTO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR INTERMITTENTLY AFTER A STOP OR WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS 25-30 MPH ESPECIALLY. MOST ERRATIC IN CITY DRIVING. THE JOLT IS SO HARD THE DRIVER TAKES NOTICE. THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE AT TIME FROM A STOP THEN JUMP FORWARD LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL CAUSING FRONT WHEELS TO SPIN. AT LOWER SPEEDS IN CITY THE VEHICLE HAS A DELAY FROM ENGINE TO TRANSMISSION CAUSING A JERKING MOTION EVEN WHEN PRESSING EVER SO LITELY ON GAS PEDDLE. THE TRANSMISSION HOLDS GEARS AGGRESSIVELY BEFORE UP SHIFTING, SO ENGINE SPEED HANGS HIGH BETWEEN SHIFTS. THE VEHICLE SHIFTS OCCASIONALLY IMMEDIATELY INTO 2ND GEAR FROM A STOP AND THEN DRAGS IT OUT AND CLUNKS INTO 3RD GEAR CAUSING UNTIMELY SHIFTING. LITHIA JEEP AND PELLETIER JEEP BOTH DID SOFTWARE UPDATES WITH MARGINAL IMPROVEMENT OR MADE IT WORSE. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION UP SHIFTS TO SOON OFTEN FROM 1ST TO 2ND...

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....

DOES NOT HOLD THE SELECTED SPEED WHEN GOING DOWN HILL WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS DOWN BUT DOES NOT STAY IN ONE GEAR, SHIFTS UP AND DOWN.

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED JEEP LATITUDE. WITHIN TWO MONTHS THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENTIRE CONSOLE LIT UP RED. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED OFF AND ON UNTIL I TOOK IT FOR SERVICING. THIS ISSUE SHOWED UP WHILE IN PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN PULLING OUT AND THEN WHEN I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION. IT WAS FIXED IN MINUTES ???? BUT IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE NEVER CORRECTED BY CHRYSLER/ JEEP

I BOUGHT IT USED AND IT HAD 1 RECALL THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED AND NOW THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE READ 100S OF OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH LITTLE TO NO PERMANENT RESOLUTION.

PURCHASED A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 LATITUDE. HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT. TWO WEEKS INTO OWNING IT ON HARD TURNS THE BATTERY LIGHT AND DASH WOULD LIGHT UP. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD BE MAKING A TURN (IN DRIVE) AND WOULD FAIL ACCELERATE OR CONTINUE IN THAT GESR CAUSES IT TO STALL INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN LOOSE STEERING CONTROL. THE CAR WOULD THEN SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC IT WAS TURNED OFF. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL 3 OR 4 TIMES. IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING ON THE ENTRANCE TO THE HIGH WAY. THE CAR WOULD DRIVE FOR A COUPLE MILES AND THEN STALL OUT AGAIN. NOT A SAFE CAR AND DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ST HIGH SPEEDS.

TCM MODULAR FAILS IN THE SEALED 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN 8 GEAR AFTER COMMING OF AN EXIT RAMP ENGINE LIFE CAME ON MASHES ON THE GAS TO GO THRU THE INTERSECTION NO POWER STUCK IN 8 GEAR WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT .. LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND ON COMING TRAFFIC HAS TO STOP AND ALLOW ME TO GET TRUE VERY SLOWLY... HORNS BLOWING AND CARS SWIRLING AROUND ME... VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES

SHORTLY AFTER I GET GAS THE VEHICLE WILL GO FROM DRIVE TO IDLE AND A WARNING MESSAGE WILL POP UP THAT SAYS I NEED TO SHIFT TO PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE WAITING TO TAKE A LEFT AT LIGHTS AND SOMETIMES AS SOON AS I GO TO PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE CAR DIED WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A SAFE PLACE, BUT CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AGAIN AFTER FOR A FEW HOURS. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND CAME TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR DIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AND HE ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND HIM. THIS IS NOT SAFE. WE HAVE A ONE MONTH OLD CHILD, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING HER IN THE CAR. *DT*JB

WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY, ALL THE SUDDEN SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON AND TRANSMISSION METER WENT UP TO THE HIGHEST POINT, CAR STOPPED BY ITSELF. BESIDE STEERING, EVERYTHING ELSE STOPPED WORKING. THANK GOD, I WAS NEXT TO EMERGENCY LINE. I ONLY GOT 30 SECOND TO GET OUT HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC ROAD.

WHEN DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST VIRGINIAN HAVING THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70 EVERYTHING WORKS FINE UNTIL YOU COME TO A STEEP DOWN HILL GRADE. SUDDENLY I WOULD LOOK DOWN AND I WOULD BE DOING 90 MILES A HOUR AND THE ENGINE RPM IS OVER 5000. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. 3 TIMES I WOULD JUST TOUCH THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE RPM WOULD IMMEDIATELY GO DOWN TO AROUND 2000 RPM. ONE TIME I HADE TO STAND ON THE BRAKES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS UNTIL THE RPM WOULD GO DOWN. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR ONE TIME. MY SON DROVE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS ON OUR WAY TO THE EAST COAST AND I DROVE THROUGH THEM ON THE WAY HOME. HE TOLD ME THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR JUST OVER 2 YEARS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS FINE. THE ONLY...

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING; ON THE EXPRESSWAY, AFTER A CAR WASH, IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. ONLINE COMPLAINTS ARE PLENTIFUL...THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT!! CURRENTLY AT THE SHOP, THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.
