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.

I bought my Jeep Cherokee latitude plus in may 2019. 6 months later the stop/go function stalled and the car turned off during a turn at the light. I almost gotten rear ended with my daughter in the back seat. Had to put it in park to get it to turn on again, mind you I am still in the intersection. The car turned on but continually did that at least twice a week. The is unsafe to drive, I do not know how it has 4 out of 5 stars. The car has a hard time starting. I have to try several times to turn it on. Until recently, it just won't turn on any longer. Battery is fine. The starter is not doing its job. I have to get it towed to the dealer about an hour away to get it looked at and fixed. Don't know if it can get fixed. I have read that other owners of this vehicle have had the same trouble and seems as though their car is always in trouble.

Vehicle shutting off completely prior to a stop sign. Attempts x 3 to restart vehicle, acts sluggish taken to auto parts tested by machine . Battery ok alternator ok starter ok help only problems !!!.

Ignition not starting at all while pushing starter button and pressing brake pedal. Jeep has been in the shop several times. Key fobs replaced, starter button replaced and receiver hub replaced. Jeep continues to have this problem intermittently over the last 6 months.

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.

While driving car home from work in sunny weather conditions, the cars dash beeped and lit up with the battery warning. My car stopped exelerating but all of the electrical in the car still worked. After trying to get it to turn over again it just rattled. I was able to get a jump and head home where we looked deeper into the problem. We finally took it to a mechanic who said that the starter, battery, alternator were all working and in good condition and had no clue why it would have died on me for no reason. I do not feel safe driving my child around on the highway or any busy/construction areas if my car could stop on a dime without warning. Not fixing this problem could result in someone getting hurt or even killed.

New 2017 Jeep Cherokee has completely and randomly shut off/shut down while driving three times. Extremely dangerous failure mode! vehicle has less than 2000 miles and is less than 3 months old. First instance: April 27, 2017. Daughter driving. Going up a hill on city road at approximately 45mph. Vehicle just died. Almost rear-ended. Pulled over. Put it in park. Vehicle restarted. Second instance: April 28, 2017. Owner driving. On interstate 376 going 65mph. Vehicle just died. Pulled over. Put it in park. Vehicle restarted. Third instance: April 29, 2017. Owner driving. State road going 40mph. Vehicle just died. Noticed a "ding" sound just before it died. Almost rear-ended. Pulled over. Put it in park. Vehicle restarted. Took car to dealer - preston motors in new castle, PA. Explained situation. Told them "we could have died!" they claim they know of no similar issues or reports of this problem. I presented them with printouts of the numerous similar complaints for 2016 models on NHTSA website. Dealer is currently investigating and guesses (does not know) it may be a problem with the starter button (not the stop/start button). They are replacing it and will test drive it before giving it back to us.

Last Thursday the vehicle lost all power after applying brakes going down a hill, when attempting to start it up again, it remained in the run position but was not functional, engine sounded like a car grinding. Pressing the starter did nothing, the vehicle would not turn off, but remained in the run position but with an abnormal sound and no ability to drive it. I just kept trying to put it in different gears, give it gas and finally the engine engaged and it was driven back up the hill to my home. It was driven to Jeep service the next day. They could not reproduce the problem and the "diagnostics" did not reveal a problem. The same thing happened today and it took me about 10 minutes of pushing starter button, trying different gears and giving it gas to get it functional again. This vehicle has been into Jeep at least 3 times for transmission problems. One time the vehicle was worse after going in, and 2 of the times it seemed better initially but was worse again within several weeks.

Vehicle will not start. (thought it was starter motor like everyone else). After checking on internet and reading same problem that other Jeep owners had. ( replacing starter motor did not solve problem). Thought to myself could it possibly be a loose wire. Had someone hold the key in start mode while I pulled on the wire harness going down between engine and battery. Had to jiggle it in different directions an don't u know it started right up. It has happened 3 times since then and this method worked each time. Dealer says he never heard of such problem. Wants to charge 100+ an hour for diagnostics. P. S. - be careful not to get burned or get caught by flywheel belts if u try this method at least I didn't have to pay for tow truck .

2007 Jeep grand Cherokee laredo - randomly the vehicle will not start, when turning the key to in the ignition you can hear the relay clicking, engine does not crank or start. When the key is returned to the off position the data display below the tachometer momentarily states that the transmission is overheated. The battery is fully charged and everything else, lights, horn, etc still work. There are no error codes dumped. The first attempt to fix this by the dealership was to replace the starter, now 4 months later the vehicle is doing the same exact thing. This has become a reliability issue in that there is no telling when this will occur, each time family members have been stranded with this vehicle, Jeep dealership seems to be "stumped". I have read of many Jeep vehicles that demonstrate this very same problem, without resolution. This can be an intermittent issue, usually have to wait until it becomes a "hard" fail before the dealership will look at it. This is extremely frustrating owning this vehicle not knowing when it will or will not start and whether the dealership can or cannot fix it!.

Engine compartment caught fire due to starter failure. Claim number 53-c679-292.

Sunroof: in the full open position, between 30 & 50mph, with the side windows up, or partially open, a horriffic vibration is felt in the "cabin" which is irritating to the ears, vocal chords, is so bad, that the radio speakers seem like they are ready to break. Dealer refuses to arrange a meeting with Chrysler rep to discuss the problem, which I feel is attributed to a bad design, which Jeep is calling "wind buffeting" in the owners manual, indicating they know there is this problem. The starter failed, and rocking the vehicle to a better spot on the starter allowed it to start, but vehicle is still sluggish starting at times, seeming as though the batter is weak. Jeep will not replace starter until a total failure. Brakes. . Bad vibration due to apparent warped rotors. These are being replaced on warranty without dispute, indicating that Chrysler knows there is a problem with the rotors. This vehicle seems to be the "lemon of the fleet" only giving a maximum of 14. 5mpg, highway, and less in city only, and does not idle smooth.

Starter failed.
