2018 JEEP CHEROKEE Engine Problems

MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME (12/8/2019 @ 1200 HRS) I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND IT JUST SHUT OFF. NO DASH INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS AND IT HAD PLENTY OF FUEL. THE SECOND TIME (12/9/2019 @ APPRX 1600 HRS)I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO A VERY BUSY CITY STREET AND IT SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT. AGAIN NO WARNINGS AT ALL. AFTER APPRX 10 MINUTES CAR WAS ABLE TO RESTART. DROVE STRAIGHT TO DALLAS DODGE(APPRX 23 MILES.) THEY SAID IT WAS LOW ON OIL. SHOULD ADD OIL OR GET OIL CHANGE. BUT SINCE THEY WERE CLOSING THEY DID NOT HAVE ANYONE WHO COULD HELP. ALSO SAID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST NEEDED TO BE DONE, BUT THEY COULD NOT PERFORM IT. OIL CHANGE PLACES WERE CLOSED. I DROVE TO...

DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A MAIN STREET AT ABOUT 45 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT TURNING RIGHT. AFTER SHIFTING BACK TO PARK AND STRUGGLE TO TURN OVER AND RESTART, ABLE TO GET BACK HOME WITH SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING 2 MORE TIMES. REPLICATED THE ISSUE AGAIN PARKED AT THE HOUSE WITH A VERY HARD STRUGGLE TO START. STEERING AND ENGINE POWER COMPLETELY GONE.

CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF- HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 8 TIMES IN THE LAST12 MONTHS. CAR IS IN MOTION- AS BRAKES ARE APPLIED TO SLOW DOWN.. CAR JUST DIES WITHOUT NOTICE. SO FAR I'M LUCKY IT'S ONLY BEEN WHILE I'M NOT ON THE HWY. BUT APPROACHING A STOP OR TURN. TAKES A COUPLE MINUTES AND A FEW HARD CRANKS TO GET IT TO RESTART.

CAR STALLED AND THE PANEL STATED SHIFT TO PARK ON PANEL AND WOULD NOT CRANK BACK. TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD A LONG HARD CRANK AND ENGINE FINALLY CAUGHT UP AND CRANKED. SHIFTED INTO PARK AND WENT ABOUT 1000 - 1500 FEET AND IT DIED AGAIN. WAITED AND TRIED TO CRANK AGAIN AND WENT TO HARD CRANK AGAIN BEFORE STARTING. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED LOW OIL. THIS IS THE REASON FOR GOING DEAD. STATED I NEEDED OIL CHANGES EVERY 5K AFTER I WAS TOLD INITIALLY 10 K THEN AT 1ST OIL CHANGE TOLD 7500K AND THEN AT THIS PROBLEM THEY STATED NO IT WAS DEFINATELY 5 K. THIS TIME, PANEL LIGHTS UP AND SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER SOON. ALL LIGHTS ON DRIVE SHIFTER LIGHTS UP. NOT JUST ON PARK OR REVERSE OR DRIVE. ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THEY COME AND GO. I ALSO HAVE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING THE LAST DAY...

2018 JEEP CHEROKEE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, IN MOTION ON STATE HIGHWAY, OIL LIGHT CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY, CAUSING POWER STEERING TO FAIL, FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS MOTOR RESTARTED BUT AUTO WOULD NOT ENGAGE DRIVE, HAD TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART X3,, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIME TODAY 1/24/2020

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING TO A SAFER LOCATION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED FUCCILLO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 10329 US RT 11, ADAMS, NY 13605, 844-353-7100) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE TENDED TO BURN MORE OIL THAN NECESSARY, WHICH CAUSED IT TO SHUT OFF. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO INFORM THEM OF LOW OIL BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH UNDER 30,000 MILES ON IT. MY CAR'S STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN. MY BRAKES AND STEERING WERE LOCKED, CAUSING ME TO DRIFT UP ON TO A CURB AND HIT A SIGN. NO WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE CAR PRIOR TO THIS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I AM LEASING THE CAR FROM. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH JEEPS, THAT THE CAR WILL BURN THROUGH OIL VERY QUICKLY, THAT NO LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME ON, AND THAT THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AS A 'SAFETY FEATURE.' I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO PROTECT MYSELF BEYOND GETTING OIL CHANGES EVERY 3K MILES AND THAT IT 'SHOULD' BE FINE. AGAIN, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN OR...

MAKING A RIGHT TURN, ENGINE SHUT OFF NO POWER, LIGHTS STATED I MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT WARNING LIGHTS. THE JEEP WOULD NOT START. I HAD EXPERIENCED NO PRIOR ISSUES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED MY HUSBAND WHO ARRIVED AND DROVE IT HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MOTOR AND TO CHECK THE OIL. UPON CHECKING THE OIL THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ON THE DIPSTICK. ONCE AGAIN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I BASICALLY NEED TO KEEP A CHECK ON THE OIL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!

"SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHTS UP.

THE 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE CONSUMES OIL AND HAS A MECHANISM WHERE IF THE CAR IS LOW ON OIL IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR GIVES NO WARNING IT IS LOW ON OIL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED ONE DAY WHEN THESE CARS JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING.*DT CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST OF ROUGHLY 15 OCCURRENCES OCCURRED AT 31K MILES. THE MOST RECENT HAPPENED AT 41,100 MILES. USUALLY WHILE TRAVELING 25-35 MPH AND USUALLY HAPPENS 2K-3K MILES FROM LAST OIL CHANGED. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH OR ALARMS CAR JUST LITERALLY DIES. .*JB

THE CAR STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE TURNING TOWARDS MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. I HAD MY DAUGHTER INSIDE THE CAR WITH ME AND I WAS AFRAID CARS WILL COME SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WERE CARS PASS BY TO ENTER THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE CAR AFTER CALLING MY DAD WHO HELPED ME TAKE IT TO A SAFE SPOT AND JUMP START THE CAR. THE CAR WORKED AFTER DOING A JUMP START AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT AT MY PARKING SPOT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS LEAVING TO DROP OFF MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AND SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS INSIDE THE CAR COMING OUT (IN MOTION) AND THE CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY AND WOULDN'T TURN. I CALLED ROAD ASSISTANCE THIS TIME. THEY SENT ME A TOWING COMPANY TO TAKE IT TO THE CLOSEST...

VEHICLE HAS STALLED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. SOME ON THE STREETS AND 3 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. HALF THE TIME I WAS WITH MY CHILDREN. YOU HAVE TO PUT IT BACK ON PARK, WAIT ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS, THEN SWITCH IT ON AN OFF THREE TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS AGAIN.

2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK (12/5/19), UPON SLOWING AND STARTING. THE STALLING HAS CAUSED ME TO COME TO A DEAD STOP ON A MAIN ROADS. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE I COULD NOT RESTART AND MOVE OUT THE WAY. THE DISPLAY SHOWS A "SHIFT SELECT" READING. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, THE ENGINE ACTS LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO START BACK. EVERYTHING ELSE SHOWS ALL IS NORMAL.

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I CAN NOT GO MORE THAN 3,000 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF ON MY AND BEING BONE DRY ON OIL ON THE DIP STICK. I KEEP BEING TOLD THIS PARTICULAR MODEL JUST BURNS A LITTLE EXTRA OIL BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. IT IS SHUTTING OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAYS WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND DO NOT TRUST TO PUT THEM IN THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THE CONTACT CALLED DON MILLER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (5802 ODANA RD, MADISON, WI 53719, (608) 270-5000) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE HAS BEEN STALLING DUE TO HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION (PER THE DEALER). THE STALLS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING WHEN BRAKING OR MAKING TURNS. THERE IS NO WARNING, THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF, WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, NEED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND WAIT A COUPLE MINUTES. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN CITY DRIVING. IN TWO SCENARIOS, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND IN ANOTHER, I STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I'VE TAKEN THE JEEP TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SUGGESTED I DO AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST" TO SEE IF THE ENGINE IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED, WHICH ENTAILS ME BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY 1,000...

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ALWAYS ON IN MOTION AND IN PARK. BURNS 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES VEHICLES JERKS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN MOTION

STARTING AT 25K MILES, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO BURN THROUGH OIL EVEN BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. THE MANUAL STATES TO GO OFF THE OIL SYSTEM LIGHT, DEALERS SAY DIFFERENT. OIL HAD 14% LEFT, BUT THE CAR KEPT SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WENT TO DEALER, CAR BURNED THROUGH ALL THE OIL. THEY REFUSED TO CHECK FOR ENGINE DAMAGE AND FORCE ME TO PAY FOR A FULL OIL CHANGE. STATED BY THE DEALER, ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. NOW AT 33K, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE. COIL PACK NEEDS REPLACED. THIS IS A TSB THAT WAS POSTED AT DEALERS BUT NOT GIVEN TO CONSUMERS. ALSO AIRBAG CONNECTION UNDER DRIVER SEAT COMES LOOSE AND CAUSES WARNING LIGHTS TO SERVICE AIRBAG. 10K MILES. DEALER SAID TO PLUG BACK IN AND JUST KEEP DEALING WITH IT.

SERVICE SHIFTER ON CAR DISPLAY

STARTED CAR AND PUT INTO DRIVE. STARTED DRIVING SERVICE SHIFTER CAME UP. ALL THE LIGHTS IN MY SHIFTER LIT UP.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY A MEAASGE APPEARED ON MY SCREEN 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND THE JEEP BEGAN TO JERK. THE LIGHTS ON EACH GEAR TURNED RED. WHEN I GOT TO A PLACE TO PARK. I CUT THE JEEP OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. I THEN RECEIVED A MESSAGE WHEN I PUT THE JEEP IN DRIVE TO VERIFY IF IT WOULD DRIVE AND I RECEIVED ANOTHER MESSAGE STATING 'SHIFT TO PARK'. THE JEEP BEGAN TO JERK AGAIN. I'VE HAD THIS JEEP FOR ONE YEAR EXACTLY BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY ABOUT 3,000 MILES ON IT AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS IT COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE AT ALL. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEARLERSHIP WHERE IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AND OIL THAT HAD TO BE FIXED AND...

25,000 MILES WAS TURNING RIGHT ONTO RAMP TO ENTER HIGHWAY WHEN BATTERY CAME ON AND ENGINE STALLED RIGHT WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INITIATED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. 1,000 MILES INTO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. CAR WAS ONLY 1/2 QUART LOW ON OIL AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF A CONTROLLED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. HAVE READ AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF REPORTS OF 2018 CHEROKEES WITH THE SAME 2.4L ENGINE STALLING WHILE THE DRIVERS IS ACTIVELY DRIVING VEHICLE ANYWHERE FROM 25 MPH TO 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

BURNING ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,400 TO 1,500 MILES SINCE IT TURNED 30,000 MILES

SERVICE SHIFTER

MY VEHICLE WS IN MOTION WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED ON BRIEFLY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS MY VEHICLE LOST POWER COMPLETELY. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER, BRAKE OR ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE.*BF CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE ENGINE REPLACED BUT IT HAD AROUND 28,000 MILES ON IT. THE BATTERY LIGHT BRIEFLY BLINKED ON BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE LAST OIL CHANGE WAS ON MAY 26,2019. VIN IS INVALID.*JB

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. PURCHASED APRIL 2018 WITH 17 MILES ON IT. IN NOVEMBER 2018 THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS "FIXED." JUNE 26, 2019 (28,670 MILES ON MY CAR) I WAS DRIVING TO WORK GOING 35 MPH WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I HAD BEEN HEARING A DINGING NOISE, LIKE WHEN YOUR SEATBELT IS OFF (JUST ONE DING THOUGH) AND SOMETHING WOULD FLASH ON MY DASH. IT WAS SO QUICK I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHAT IT SAID. I STARTED VIDEOING MY DASH TO TRY TO CATCH THE ALERT. I HAVE VIDEO OF MY DASH AS THE ENGINE STOPPED AND ME TRYING TO RESTART MY CAR. (UPLOADED PICTURES OF THE SERVICE SHIFTER BUT IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO) IT TOOK...

WHILE IN MOTION, MY CAR CONTINUED TO STALL, 3 TIMES. ONCE ALSO THE WEEK BEFORE. THE CAR INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER A VERY SCARY RIDE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. THERE WAS BARELY NO OIL .. ACCORDING TO OIL DIPSTICK. THE MESSAGE DID NOT INDICATE OIL WAS LOW. WRONG MESSAGE TO THE OWNER. I COULD HAVE SEIZED MY ENGINE. NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE IS NOT THE SAME ALERTING THE DRIVER THERE IS NO OIL LEFT. THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED TO INDICATE LOW OIL LEVEL !!! THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN CAR IN MOTION AND IT STALLS OUT. DEALERSHIP TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL ISSUE. DANGEROUS SITUATION!!!

THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AT AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. WHEN IT DID RESPOND THE VEHICLE JERKED INTO GEAR AND RPM'S ROSE QUICKLY.

- 2.4L EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION - NEW ENGINE AT 8K MILES - EMISSIONS ISSUES TRIPPING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT - COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH DASH AND INTERIOR - TRANSMISSION STALLING IN TRAFFIC. - CANNOT MAINTAIN SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL - ONCE PARTS ARE REMOVED FOR REPAIR THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED PROPERLY AND END UP FALLING OFF. FCA AMERICA KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE ISSUES AND CONTINUES TO PRODUCE THESE CARS AT A PRICE WAY ABOVE THEIR VALUE. BOTTOM LINE THEY ARE A FRAUDULENT BUSINESS THAT IS PRODUCING CRAPPY VEHICLES.

VEHICLE STARTED STALLING RANDOMLY. IT START WITH A CHIME ON TURNS AND PROGRESSED TO THIS. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS LOW IN OIL JUST HAD OIL CHANGED 3 MONTHS PRIOR. THEY FOUND OFF VALVE WAS BAD REPLACED. VEHICLE THEN STARTED BURNING GAS 20 MILES AND HALF TANK. TOOK BACK TO SEWER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. PROBLEM WITH STALLING STARTED AGAIN. DEALER COULDN'T REPLICATE ISSUE. *DT*JB

MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS. I HAVE 36,500 MILES ON IT. *DT CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 27TH,2019 FOR OIL CHANGE, THEY DID NOT MENTION LOW OIL BUT DID SAY MAY HAVE LOW ON COOLANT BUT WASN'T POSITIVE.*JB

MY JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, KEFFER CHRYSLER JEEP IN CHARLOTTE, NC, HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I'VE HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST TIME IT SHUT DOWN I WAS ON A MAIN HIGHWAY AND WAS ALMOST HIT. *DT*JB CONSUMER STATED CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGN, WHICH CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.*JB

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN I95 - THE GEARSHIFT FROZE UP AND THE ENTIRE GEARSHAFT TURNED RED. I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN / COME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF AN EXIT ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF TWO TIMES ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS - ONCE THREE MONTHS AFTER THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT LUNGED FORWARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ROGER WILLIAMS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1102 WASHINGTON DR, WEATHERFORD, TX 76086, (817) 458-4091) DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING IT WITHOUT WARNING. *DT CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP. *JB

VEHICLE WHILE DRIVEN MADE AN ALERT PING WHEN MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT HAND TURNS WITH NO OTHER INDICATOR. FOLLOWING DAY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH WITH OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS MULTIPLE ERRORS ABOUT PLACING VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND SHIFTING (ALTHOUGH VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC). 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 17% OIL LIFE REMAINING AND 300 MILES UNTIL SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. DEALER ADVISED THAT VEHICLE IS KNOWN TO BURN OIL AT A RATE OF 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH WHEN THE PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE HAD OCCURRED, WHEN ASKED WHY VEHICLE BURNS OIL AT SUCH A RATE, WAS ADVISED IT IS NORMAL AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AND...

VECHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND VECHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. VECHICLE THEN RESTARTED AND DID THE SAME THING A SECOND TIME.

ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO I WAS MAKING A UTURN ON A CITY STREET AND THE CAR CHIMED. THE CAR NOW CHIMES EVERY TIME I MAKE ANY TYPE OF TURN. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE ENGINE IS BURNING THE OIL THEREFORE I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME I NOW HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IN EVERY 500 MILES TO DO A TEST AND IF THE ENGINE IS STILL BURNING THE OIL THE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.

IN NOVEMBER CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, HAVING NO STEERING AND HARD BREAKING. TOOK CAR IN FOR THIS ALONG WITH AN OIL CHANGE DEALERSHIP STATED THIS WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEY PERFORMED THE UPDATE BUT FAILED TO TELL ME ANYTHING ELSE. LAST WEEK CAR DID THE SAME EXACT THING, CALLED DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER HAD DESIGNED THE CAR TO SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL. THE ISSUE HE SAID WAS THE MOTOR USING OIL AT APPROXIMATELY 21,589 MILES. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS WITH HIM AND ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY AGAIN TOLD ME THE EXACT THING THAT IT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO GIVE YOU A WARNING IT WAS MADE WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. MY CONCERNS IS ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO BE SEVERELY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL...

WHILE COMPANY EMPLOYEE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND ALSO IN TOWN IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. THE JEEP DEALER SAID IT NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE, BUT THE OIL LIFE MONITOR SAYS THERE IS STILL 56% OIL LIFE REMAINING. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY FOR A WHILE. AFTER RESEARCHING, IT APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE VEHICLES HYDRAULICALLY DRIVEN VARIABLE VALVE TIMING. JEEP SAYS THE VEHICLE IS LOW ON OIL, THAT'S WHY THE OIL CHANGE FIXES THE PROBLEM, BUT NO OIL LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNING EVER COMES ON. THE VEHICLE JUST DIES AND THEN RESTARTS AFTER COASTING OFF THE ROAD OR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

THE CAR HAS START UP PROBLEMS, THE CAR STALL AND JERKS WHEN BREAKING. THE BATTERY ON CHARGES TO 45% ( THIS IS A NEW CAR). THE ENGINE WAS SMOKING PURFUSLY LIKA AN 1980S CAR. ALL LIGHT FLICKER IN THE CAR AMD NOW THE CAR IS UNDRIVABME WITH NO HELP FROM DEALSHIP OR FINANCE. ITS LIKE I'M ON ME OWN STUCK WITH A LEMON.

REGARDING RECALL 18V-524 FOR THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, FCA REPORTS THAT THE REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THERE IS NO ETA

WHILE IN MOTION WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 65 MPH THE TRANSMISSION JERKED TWICE AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, STAYED THAT WAY AS IF THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK. I HIT MY BRAKES BECAUSE WE WAS LOSING SPEED AND WHEN STOPPED I TRIED TO PUT IN PARK BUT IT SOUNDED AS IF GEARS WAS GRI. DING I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE JEEP TO MAKE IT STOP REVVING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 4 LANE AND COULD ONLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND ROW BACKWARDS INTO THE MEDIAN. I WAS UNABLE TO PUT BACK IN DRIVE WITH PUT GEARS GRINDING. I HAD BEEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MINS AT A SPEED OF 60-70 WHEN THIS HAPPENED. NO WARNING LIGHTS AND NOTHING ON THE DASH AT TIME OF ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING CAR COMPLETELY LOSES ALL POWER. BECOMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. CANNOT BE STEERED OR MOVED. TURNING ONTO A STREET AT LOW SPEED IN A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION WITH STREETCAR TRACKS. CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND BECAME INOPERABLE. VEHICLE STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH STREETCAR AND TRUCKS ALMOST HITTING IT FROM BEHIND. COULD NOT BE PUSHED. *DT UPDATED 10/18/18*JB

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE ENGINE SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. ONCE ON A HILL, THE NEXT TIME ON A HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS OR OTHER WARNING SYSTEMS IN PLACE. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE STEERING FAILED AS DID ALL BRAKING SYSTEMS. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. BOTH TIMES OIL WAS BELOW READABLE LEVEL. IT WAS ALSO LOW PRIOR TO DEALER RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE PERIOD. I WAS TOLD AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST NEEDED TO BE DONE, BUT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. WHEN OIL CONSUMPTION WAS DEEMED LOW, I WAS TOLD THAT JEEP CORPORATION REQUIRED THAT THE TEST BE REPEATED AND TO DRIVE ANOTHER 1,000 MILES. I CONTACTED CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND WAS TOLD "INDEPENDENT DEALERSHIPS CAN DECIDE HOW TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM". THEN IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT I SEE IF A DIFFERENT DEALER MIGHT BE MORE HELPFUL. NO SAFETY ACTIONS WERE TAKEN BY...

WHILE TURNING CORNERS, VEHICLE SOMETIMES STALLS. WHEN REPORTED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT,THEY SAID IT IS A SAFETY FEATURE TO LET YOU KNOW OIL IS LOW. OUR OIL CAN BE AT 35% AND CAUSE THE CAR TO STOP DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROADWAY...THAT IS NOT SAFE! WE SHOULDN'T NEED TO REPLACE OIL U TIL 20% OR LESS AS THAT IS WASTEFUL...

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IN MID DRIVE, IN MOTION, IN A PARKING STRUCTURE GETTING READY TO GET ON THE FREEWAY. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE AND I WASN'T OVER MILEAGE BY THAT MUCH, HE SAID HE HAS HEARD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE TO A CUSTOMER. I WAS SO TERRIFIED BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY AND COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURED AND UNTIL THIS DAY I AM VERY DISTURBED AND WORRY IF IT WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN MORE TERRIFIED IF I AM ON THE FREEWAY! I JUST WANT TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP'S RESPONSE DIDN'T SIT WELL WITH ME AND I THINK IT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR TO TURN OFF JUST BECAUSE YOU NEED AN OIL CHANGE, IS THERE A DEFECT IN MY CAR?...

WHILE TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN MOTION , THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE VEHICLES WHERE COMING AT HIGH SPEEDS NEARLY CAUSING FATAL ACCIDENTS! WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AS I WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH THE LIGHT THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED. *TT *TR

CRUISE CONTROL KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. 2.4ML ENGINE STALLS A LOT HARD TO STOP CAR WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND IT'S GOES IN AND OUT ON ITS OWN

FIRST STARTED WITH JERKING AS YOU'RE DRIVING AT ONE TIME WE WERE AT A STOPLIGHT AS AND IT THE CAR JUST WANTED TO TAKE OFF BY ITSELF AND WE ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT THE CAR IS ALWAYS LOW ON OIL I MEAN WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 3 MILES WITHIN WEEKS IT WOULD ACTUALLY HAD NO OIL MY HUSBAND THOUGHT OUT MAYBE THE MANUFACTURER JUST DIDN'T FILL IT UP ALL THE WAY BY MISTAKE DIDN'T CHECK IT OUT SO HE WENT AND PURCHASED WILL PUT OIL IN IT TWO WEEKS LATER TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WE ALREADY A QUART LOW CAR WASTE IS GAS LIKE CRAZY WE ARE CONSTANTLY FILLING UP EVERY 2 DAYS AND THEN CAR DOESN'T REALLY GO ANYWHERE BUT FROM WHAT 15 MILES A DAY ON OUR WAY TO KANSAS SO WE WERE COMING TO A CURVE AND MY HUSBAND TRY TO...
