2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. ALSO, THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND BEFORE SUDDENLY ACCELERATING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DID NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT NOT SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23.

I RECENTLY LEASED A NEW 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH SAFETY PACKAGE AND FCW SYSTEM. WHEN I TOOK VEHICLE HOME I REALIZED THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WAS NOT ENGAGING IE: NO AUDIBLE AND NO VISUAL ALERTS SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES FOR RE-CALIBRATION BUT THEY CANT GET THE SYSTEM TO WORK AS DESIGNED OR ADVERTISED. I AM WAITING FOR THE SERVICE TECH TO GET BACK TO ME WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS HE WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE AND OVERHEAD SUPPORT ROM JEEP. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TECH ALOT OF THESE VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND REAL SAFETY CONCERN. IF FOLKS ARE RELYING ON THIS SYSTEM THEY MAY BE AT RISK. *TR

POWER STEERING WENT OUT DURING A TURN AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS WHAT I'M BEING TOLD FROM MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I'M WAITING FOR VEHICLE TO BE FIXED BUT AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW. I ONLY HAD IT FOR 10 DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I FEAR I MAY HAVE A CRASH AND IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE NO TRUST IN DRIVING THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 175 MILES ON IT. *TR

AFTER USING THE AUTOMATIC REMOTE STARTER I GET IN THE VEHICLE AND PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN IT TO THE "ON" SETTING. I THEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE. A SOME POINT IN THE TRIP WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED. IN ORDER TO DRIVE AGAIN I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE IGNITION BACK ON, TURN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OFF, AND THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE. *TR
