Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2017 Jeep Cherokee

When driving and making a right or left turn, an error message pops up on the screen stating can not switch gears while in drive, then the engine shuts off, it has happened to me 6+ times in the last month, it has happened in the middle of a left turn in a busy intersection 3 times and almost caused an accident. Once car is shut off and you give it a minute, when you restart it takes time to turn over. This is so unsafe and I am afraid every time I drive as I drive my daughter in this vehicle and think this should be a recall for sure. I took it to a mechanic they test drove and had the same issue twice, they ran diagnostics and nothing came up, when they researched it they found the complaints on this website and said I should take it to a dealership and they read that it may have something to do with the oil being used to quickly and when the turn occurs it sucks in air. Please help!!!.

I bought a 2017 Jeep Cherokee limited 10/31/2020. At least 7 times in the last two weeks my car has started and I drive about 1000 feet and my car dies. Flashes return to park and it shuts off. My car will start back after rolling over a few times. This is not safe because if I pull out in front of someone and my car dies I'm going to have a wreak. . Read more...

While driving my Jeep has just shut off on me on three separate occasion leaving me to just coast to the side of the road then when I turned the key off and try to restart the car it just kept turning over and took a while to start back up.

I was driving our 2017 Jeep Cherokee with my family in the vehicle, including wife and 2 children (5 plus infant). We were traveling ~20 miles per hour when the car shut down. The car was still moving as we were traveling downhill, and was in the drive gear. We were unable to stop as there was no way to pull off immediately. The gas pedal stopped working first, then the brake stopped working as well. I had to engage the emergency brake and jam my foot on the brake to slow the vehicle down. The situation was extremely dangerous. Once the car stopped, we turned it off and turned it back on again. After power cycling the car, it returned to operating as expected.

This has happened 4 times now starting in Jan 21, 2020. Stopped at stop sign and shut off. Tried to restart and would not. Waited about 3 minutes and it started. As I slowed down for another stop sign it shut off but restarted immediately. As I slowed down for another stop sign I turned right with out stopping and the engine shut off. All the idiot lights on dash came on. Battery was fully functional. Car would not start for 45 minutes and then it finally started. Car was taken to dealership and they could find nothing wrong. Their answer was �if we can't duplicate it there is nothing we can do. If it happens again bring it in�. What is that suppose too mean? it happened again on 5-13-20, 5-15-20 and 5-31-20. All these times it was when we are driving along and making a right turn. Engine just shuts off. On 5-31-20 I was in a traffic lane making a right turn with other traffic behind when the engine shut off. The driver behind me was beeping his horn for me to move as he had not known my engine shut off. Would hate to have this happen if I was on an interstate. Just had the battery replace under warranty on 5-28-20. Engine oil gauge read 54% not sure what the problem is but sure doesn't sound safe to me. Calling the dealership tomorrow to get an appointment.

While driving the vehicle, the engine just shut off and all warning lights were displayed. Luckily I was not in heavy traffic or on highway. Had to wait about 30-45 seconds before it would restart. This has happened 3 times in the last month ( April). Is there a recall for this. I've looked into this problem and there are several complaints of this same issue.

My 2017 Jeep Cherokee has shut off while driving 6 times in a week and a half. Its always within a few blocks of start up. There are no warning lights, the car just shuts off while driving and takes several attempts to start it back up. All 6 times it has been while driving less than 25 miles and hour and has occurred without warning. Too scared to drive it on the highway. We had it to the dealership before with an issue with the "service shifter" light coming on and all the lights on the shifter were lighting up and causing the car to shut down. At that time, they said it was the shifter bezel and they replaced it. Now we are not getting a warning light at all before the car dies. This is an extreme safety issue and I am actually scared to drive my Jeep that I have had for less than 3 years. When talking to the dealership, they are saying they have had no reported issues with this before. We will find out today what they say and I will repost. I am very upset that there are so many complaints on here for the same thing and no one has done anything about it. Also, when we scheduled the appointment with cronin Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram in lebanon ohio, we were told they no longer give loaner vehicles. When did this change? especially for an issue with a vehicle that is an obvious manufacturer issue.

Transmission shifts up to 7th gear and than down to6th gear some times engine shuts off than restart while driving highway traffic. Transmission shifts but engine red lines before you go in gear.

I brought a 2016 Jeep Cherokee in July 2017. I was having issues with the car the first month I brought it. 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. This issues has happened twice once I was at an intersection and the second time I was on the freeway. This has happened 3 times in the last month. This is dangerous and scary as this could have caused a collision. I keep my vehicle up to date on maintenance/service. It doesn't make sense that I am paying a car payment, have less than 62,000 miles on a less than 3 year old vehicle, and having these kind of safety concerns. . 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 maneuver the vehicle. It is ridiculous that the risk is so high, and the number of complaints listed on line show a serious issue with this among hundreds of vehicles by Jeep and nothing. The dealerships/service continue to make comments like "we were unable to replicate the issue". To be specific: driving at about 25 miles per hour, straight following a right turn. . . . Lost power. Lights went on the dash, message above appeared. It took two tries to restart to get me out of the middle of the road. I had the car towed to the dealer and 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 was working. Its a waste of money because im going to get the same answer. I just dont know what to do now. This car has but my children and my life in danger. Chrystler and Jeep will not acknowledge the fact they have a major issue with their Jeeps engine. I guess Jeep will resolved this issue when someone get in an accident or die.

Low oil indicator never came on. The vehicle randomly shuts down, when the oil is to low without any indication light coming on that the oil is low. This has been a common problem to the point where the dealers know exactly what the issue is. My vehicle shut down without warning in the middle of the road when turning right and indicated that I needed to put it in park and restart it. I checked the oil and it was almost dry! I added oil and will be taking it into the dealership! this Jeep only has 25k miles on it.

Was driving and all of a sudden the car shut off and the battery light came on. Luckily I was able to pull over safely. Car would not restart for the next 6 hours. Took it to the dealer and they told me it was due to low oil level. I had them do an oil change. Was told this was pretty common for the vehicle. This is a very dangerous situation, I was lucky to only be going about 25 mph in a residential area. A recall and repair needs to happen before someone is killed.

Three times while actively moving in traffic, the vehicle has shut off without warning. The vehicle has been able to be stopped safely and placed into park. The electrical works so hazard lights have been able to be engaged. However, the vehicle fails to restart on the first few attempts. Ultimately it will restart. The service rep indicated this is a known issue with these vehicles and he has seen a lot of this on this model. He noted the engine has loose tolerances to achieve the mileage rating. As a result it looses oil rapidly. And Jeep implemented engine sensors to stop the engine when the oil is low. The sensors do not take into account if the vehicle is moving or at what speeds. I called the dealer about this extremely dangerous situation immediately, to which we got an answer to drop it off, they will have to look at it when they get to it. This vendor and vehicle have had over a dozen significant recalls and need to be taken off the road.

Vehicle has just shut off approx 10 times in the last 2 weeks. Sometimes its 'dings' while driving normal and does not stall but most of the time its stalls as driving. Either ive just pulled out onto a road or made a turn. The car will just shut off and says to put in correct gear. The car will not turn over and restart for approx 10 minutes. Very very dangerous!!!!!.

The contact also was unable to put the vehicle into park and the emergency brake had to be used to prevent the vehicle from rolling. The ignition was restarted and the gear was finally placed into park but the vehicle shut off again and would not restart.
