1 Air Conditioner problem of the 2021 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 02/12/2021

I was driving in a residential area (40 mph) when my car suddenly jolted as if I had suddenly stepped on the brake pedal and then the gas pedal. I stopped for a red light, and the car suddenly stalled. The engine and battery light were on, the seat/steering wheel warmer, and air conditioning system completely shut off. The monitor kept saying to step on the brake/start the car, I attempted to do this and nothing. I shut the car off and then tried to turn it on again multiple times and nothing. Thankfully, multiple people stopped to push me off into a parking lot, because many people started beeping and the car would not move whatsoever. I have had the car for only two months, this is extremely dangerous. If this had happened on the highway, I would have been in an accident.

3 Air Conditioner problem of the 2015 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 05/02/2019

Air conditioner stopped working. Upon further investigation, mechanic informed me the problem originated from a faulty evaporator system. Currently, the repair estimates is over $2000 due to replace the evaporator, compressor and freon. Based on Jeep blogs, it has been identified that Jeep has been aware of this faulty evaporator problem, but will not take responsibility. Per Jeep blog, another grand Cherokee owner wrote: dealer's service writer immediately told me that 85% of the time when the a/c goes out in this vehicle it's the evaporator inside the car behind the dash. Upon further examination by the repair technician that's what needed to be replaced. I asked if they replace the evaporator with the same part and he said no, they now use a different sku replacement evaporator. Obviously, Jeep is aware of this problem and has made changes to fix it.

4 Air Conditioner problem of the 2019 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 08/15/2018

Air conditioner has not worked since I purchased in 2018. When the car is in motion or sitting still the car does not cool properly and everyone complains of being hot in the car. I have seen in the interior of the car on the passengers side water dripping and puffs of smoke coming from the drivers a/c vent this has happened twice it looked like a cloud of condensation. The first time I was driving to florida and the smoke hit me in the face and it scared me, I could have had an accident. The most irritating thing is that I hear the a/c compressor while it's working the noise is loud and distracting. This issue has been going on from August 2018 to current date.
