2017 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

OIL LEAKS AND THERE IS NO LOW OIL LIGHT IT SHUTS OFF ANYWHERE. SAFETY ISSUE IT SHUT OFF ON ME IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE LAST 2 OIL CHANGES I'VE HAD I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE, THEY WERE DONE AT DIFFERENT PLACES. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAKS.

NO POWER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURS SPORADICALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, OR WHILE MOTION IN LOW AND MIDDLE GEARS. MAJOR ISSUE WAS WHEN IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE TRANSMISSION AFTER STARTING VEHICLE DUE TO FAILURE. THE SYSTEM LOCK ENGAGED WITH AUTO-ENGAGED THE PARKING BREAK AND I WAS UNABLE TO DISENGAGE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, AND I HAVE THE VERY COMMON SERVICE SHIFTER PROBLEM GOING ON IN MY CAR. I MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY AND OVER THE WEEKEND THE CAR JUST SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SCARED ME TO DEATH. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET IT TO LET ME TO SHIFT. I JUST GET A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME IT IS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT I HAVE TO PAY $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING WHEN THIS SEEMS TO BE A JEEP ISSUE!!!!! I AM SO MAD AND FRUSTRATED AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FORK OUT WHEN I ALREADY HAVE EXTENDED COVERAGE.

WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY ABOUT 65 MPH IN MOTION AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER NOTICE CAME ON AND ALL THE GEARS TO THE RIGHT WERE LIT UP BRIGHT RED! I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST NIGHT AT 6:30! I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I WAS REAR ENDED ON THE HWY AND MY OTHER CAR WAS TOTALLED, I AM A SINGLE MOM OF THREE AND JUST HAD THE ACCIDENT AND IN PAIN AND GO BUY THE JEEP AND NOW THIS SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON THE DAY AFTER I BUY IT!!!! JUST MY LUCK. THIS IS UNSAFE AND HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLES TO LOCK UP AND 2 OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE REPORTED THE CAR GETTING TOTALLED DUE TO IT LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR I WILL ENDING UP CONTACTING A LAWYER FOR A RECAL NOT BEING PUT OUT DUE TO THE HIGH HEAVY VOLUME OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THE MASS PRODUCTION OF THE ISSUE. *DT *DT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHORTED OUT AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. LOST ALL POWER. HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WHEN I WENT TO RESTART THE CAR IT SAID PUT CAR IN PARK POSITION. IT WAS ALREADY IN PARK. CAR RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. *BF... *TR

THREE TIMES WHILE ACTIVELY MOVING IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE STOPPED SAFELY AND PLACED INTO PARK. THE ELECTRICAL WORKS SO HAZARD LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE ENGAGED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO RESTART ON THE FIRST FEW ATTEMPTS. ULTIMATELY IT WILL RESTART. THE SERVICE REP INDICATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND HE HAS SEEN A LOT OF THIS ON THIS MODEL. HE NOTED THE ENGINE HAS LOOSE TOLERANCES TO ACHIEVE THE MILEAGE RATING. AS A RESULT IT LOOSES OIL RAPIDLY. AND JEEP IMPLEMENTED ENGINE SENSORS TO STOP THE ENGINE WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. THE SENSORS DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR AT WHAT SPEEDS. I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IMMEDIATELY, TO WHICH WE GOT AN ANSWER TO DROP IT OFF, THEY WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT IT WHEN THEY GET TO IT. THIS VENDOR AND VEHICLE HAVE HAD OVER A DOZEN SIGNIFICANT RECALLS AND NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION GOING TO STOP AND STALLED GOING 15 MILES PER HOUR. LOST POWER BRAKES POWER STEERING AND ALMOST WAS UNABLE TO STOP HAD TO VEER OFF ROAD TO AVOID GOING INTO INTERSECTION. CAR STARTED UP AGAIN AFTER 2ND ATTEMPT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY CHECKED THE OIL AND SAID THE OIL WASN'T READING ON THE DIPSTICK. IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 4,000 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE. AFTER DOING AN OIL CHANGE THEN DOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AFTER ONLY 1000 MILES MY VECHICLE SHOWED THAT IT USED 1/2 QUART OF OIL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE THEY HAVE HAD WITH 2.4 ENGINE WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN BY CHRYSLER, HOWEVER THEIR NEGLIGENCE OF NOT NOTIFYING THE PUBLIC OR CORRECTING THE ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE INJURY AND HARM NOT ONLY TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES BUT ALSO ANYONE THAT IS IN THE WAY OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT DOES NOT STOP. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO LOOSE 1/2 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. BUT WHEN BUYING THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL LIFE GAUGE WOULD INSTRUCT ME WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE APPROX EVERY 5000-6000MILES. GOING BY THAT I STILL HAD OVER 50% OIL LIFE WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND I HAD NO OIL READING ON THE DIPSTICK. AS I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON THIS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES I LEARNED THAT THE CAR STALLS AS A SAFETY MECHANISM TO AVOID HARMING THE ENGINE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS. WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE VEHICLES.

WE HAVE HAD THIS JEEP FOR ONE YEAR. THE THE FIRST REPAIR WAS TO SERVICE THE BRAKES SYSTEM AFTER 1200 MILES. TODAY SAME THING AGAIN. I GOT IN MY JEEP TO RUN AN ERRAND AND STARTED THE CAR PRESSED ON THE BRAKE TO PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE AND HEAR A HISSING SOUND UNDER THE DASH. THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AGAIN I KNOW THIS BECAUSE ITS HAPPENED AT 1200 MILES ALSO AND THE DEALER REPLACED IT ALREADY.

2017 JEEP CHEROKEE STALLS ON RIGHT HAND TURNS USUALLY WITH AN INCLINE, BUT TWO DAYS AGO ON THE LEVEL SECONDARY ROAD IT STALLED . THERE IS AN OIL CONSUMPTION, OIL SENSOR, OR OIL PUMP PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS FAIL SAFE. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS ARE AT RISK OF REAR END COLLISION. PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES TO US.
