1 Vehicle Overheat problem of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 04/10/2021

The first complaint is when the car was overheating and it needed a new transmission which was covered under the power train warranty. The second was when the car would have difficulty accelerating, and the main incident was when I was on the freeway (westbound 80 in hercules, CA) and the car would not accelerate beyond 60 mph so I needed to exit and when I was able to safely park the car, it died on me and I had to have it towed to the dealership, costing me over $2500 in repair regardless of the fix a couple years ago. This most recent incident occurred when at a stop light (antioch, CA)the car started shaking about to the die and the screen read �must place car in park. � after placing the car in park the car started up again, but at every stop the car would shake. Most recently (concord, CA) an alert came on the screen �service shifter. � after doing my research I was informed that my car may have been a part of a recall affecting the engagement of the gears. Bringing it to the dealership I was told it was not part of the recall, but am still concerned about the vehicle shifting gears, or lack thereof. I have documentation of the repairs and complaints, but do not have access to them right now. If needed I can provide them.

2 Vehicle Overheat problem of the 2016 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 12/05/2020

The Jeep has 36. 4k miles. When I drive the car is overheating and shoots all the way hot into the red and then cools down, then goes up again. It happened 4 times in 15 min. We filled it with antifreeze. There is no leak. The dealer couldn't find a problem but my mechanic says it's an engine defect that Chrysler needs to fix. It also has a cylinder misfire that I have had to have fixed by Chrysler twice in September and December because it chugs when I start the car and at stop lights. The check engine light comes on. They say it's bad spark plugs. I only drive about 14 miles a day.
