The starter went bad around 40,000 miles. Sometimes it starts other times it takes hours to start. I always get a notifaction that says starter protection mode engin warming after a few failed start attempts. The car stalls out often. Any turns shut the car off. Oil must be added twice a month to fix the stall issue. Half the time it says 4 wheel drive and cruise control unavailable. This Jeep is a lemon. A disastrous purchase. Should be a recall on the starters as many people have the same problem. 2 year old car costing me 900 to fix starter is a joke.
Whole stationary, the Jeep has acted like it didn't want to start 4 separate times, the climate changes itself to go the the front vent on high heat every time the car is turned on regardless of setting before turning off, and radio turns on and off on its own. The aux port on the console will work one day and not the next. While driving, the cruise control has stopped working twice. All this happened in a span of two weeks.
I was driving home from work one night and all the dash lights come on and the vehicle completely stalled in the middle of the highway. I had to attempt to pull over and switch the key off and back on to restart the engine. I also have been at a stop multiple times and turn out into the road and my vehicle won't go, which could result in me getting hit. I also had my recall �fixed� for the power train, went back because I received another letter saying it was possibly not fixed and it still tells me the problem was not fixed on my vehicle. I cannot use cruise control on my vehicle because when it goes down the slightest hill, curve, whatever, the rpms go all the way up and just sit there, even when I have turned off the cruise control and braked it still stays shifted up for a long time. I regret purchasing this vehicle, especially with a baby on the way any day now and her safety being at risk. We are in the process of finding another vehicle.
Tl-the contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee latitude. The contact stated while driving on the road with the cruise control set at 55 mph going down a hill thecruise control disdengaged, the rpms will go way high and the vehicle would speed up to 70 mph. The contact had to brake the vehicle to slow it down while going down the mountainous road. The dealer ramey Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram 127 frazier dr, princeton, wv 24739 (888) 794-4317 stated that the cruise control was working the way it was supposed to work. The manufacturer contacted the tecnician at the dealer and was told the same thing that that was how the cruise control was supposed to work. The contact in the meantime stopped setting the cruise control at 55 mph. The failure mileage was 400. Tf.
2019 Jeep Cherokee limited 2. 4l turbo. Driving with cruise control set the car will suddenly accelerate, rpm's will increase by 2000 and will not slow down until cruise is disengaged. Also while driving in city in surface roads without cruise control, the car will just stop accelerating even though you are depressing gas pedal. Car comes to a complete stop while engine still running. Had to turn off car and wait a few minutes. Check engine light cane on when car was restarted with message of "check throttle control sensor". Light went off before I could get it to dealer. Dealer said the could not find a code or duplicate problem. This has happened several times. The last time on 1/11/2020.
Vehicle will randomly shut off when driving. The cruise control will not kick in when you are going straight or up a hill. . . But don't worry it will kick in when you are going down a hill! the radio will do whatever it wants from blasting music to turning your favorite song off to listen to am radio, or just locking you out all together . The dealership says "it is just an update" sorry but this vehicle is a death trap!.
Jeep does not accelerate properly. Still has other issues stated in other complaint; grinding, lurching. This car is a fail. Filed a lemon claim that was ignored and am about to re file for all the other problems occurring. I can't use cruise control because the rpms get waaay too high for me to trust. The hills between payson az and show low az are too much for the computer to manage, I'm worried the engine will blow. Air bags did not deploy when I was rear ended. Now I know why. They are recalled. This is a death trap I am paying 32k for, and I am livid. I will never buy Jeep again.
In motion. Problem with vehicle, any speed, especially cruise control on. Speed set at [ex) 25 mph, traveling decline Jeep downshifts from 6th. Gear to 3rd. Gear. Rpm jumps to 4200 from 1500 rpm. Engine starts racing as turbo kicks in. Transmission up shifts to higher gears. Rpm stays high, vehicle doubles its speed. Occurs any speed. Any hill. On interstate with grades. No matter what roadway or surface. Did this the first day we bought it. My wife didn't tell me it continued. I found still occurred when I took for 3000 mile service. She said she just avoided cruise control. It will do this on a grade also if cruise is off. Longer grades. At the 3000 mile service I informed dealer dutch miller and called fca Jeep I registered a case #. That day in June. Dealership didn't follow through with Jeep, or visa versa. Jeep couldn't reach us for phones were out for 3 weeks due to storms. Jeep suspended. I called Jeep csm last week. They wanted another tech review. The June service review included taking a brand new identical Jeep limited 2. 0 turbo and simulate. It was worse than ours. It actually red lined rpm on grade of rt 119 at oakwood interstate 64 access dealership agreed a problem. No known repair. Computer software or engineering update required by Jeep. Dealer did not report to Jeep csm on first service call. Due to length of time, we needed to repeat. Took in again 07/18/2019. Service writer just typed part observation of first visit. I contacted Jeep to be sure they were aware. Jeep case mgr. Contacted billy at dear who knew nothing of issue and stated he thought it did what the other Jeeps did. Case mgr. Told me I could take to another dealer for a different case mgr. I emphasized this is a dangerous condition. Michael didn't want to be concerned with issue, it is dangerous, and I was reporting. Svc. Mgr. Said he had spoken to michael,in the hour I have video.
New car, 2 weeks old with 800 miles will not hold speed with cruise control while going down hill. In fact , the car actually accelerates with engine. This happens at all speeds. Dealers and factory says "it is a characteristic of all 9 speed transmissions". It is a dangerous situation. In another transmission related issues, the car makes a loud clunk when driving between 30-50 mph on a flat road when lightly putting foot on accelerator. It is so loud and hard you can hear and feel it over the radio. Again we are told this "is a characteristic of the 9 speed transmissions"! unacceptable! a class-action lawsuit needs to filed against the manufacturer.
