My Cherokee is 2018, I bought it used Jan of 2020. In sept of 2020 my starter broke, I paid $550 to get it fixed. This morning, about 4 days later the starter is broken again. My mechanic is very good, and warned me about multiple people coming in with this issue and it breaking again. He told me to get a new car which I planned on doing but it broke before I got the chance. I looked it up online and multiple people left reviews with the same problem.
After starting the car and leaving my driveway for the last 2days, I get about 1/2 mile down the road and an indicator comes on telling me that shifting while driving can't be done. The car shuts completely down and I have to make a sudden stop to turn the key off. The steeringwheel locks up making it impossible to get out of the road. When I try to restart, it acts like starter is fighting to turn on. I have to give it fuel to get it to start. Then I don't have problems the rest of the day.
