2019 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

A grinding noise came from under the vehicle and it began handling differently. A local garage looked and found the rear differential/axles/propeller shaft loose and making internal noises. They referred me to the dealer. A month to get in. I tried a reman, but parts are backordered I am told because these are failing everywhere. The vehicle is unsafe and now the dealer says September at the earliest, $1,000 plus labor, parts cost unknown.

I WAS VISITING MY NEICE IN MISSOURI. 2019 JEEEP CHEROKEE, 33,000 MILES. MY POWER TRAN UNIT HAS BROKE AND I HAD TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE IN MISSOURI TO DRIVE BACK MY NEICES VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE IT AS IT WAS TOTALLY GONE. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY LAS CAR AND NOW ITS A DISASTER. WHY HAVE SO MANY OTHER 2017-2019 JEEP CHEROKEES NOT BEEN RECALLED VS ALL THE RECALLS ON OTHERS NOTHING DIFFERENT IN MINE.

There is a recall that has been out at least 5 months and there still is no fix. I feel unsafe driving my car with my baby and family in it

Jeep sent out a safety recall (01c) concerning two speed power transfer unit. In early 2025. I had failure of my PTU in early 2024 for which I paid for the repair DOS 5/24/2024. I continue to have issues with the PTU. Per the recall notice Jeep advised that I would be reimbursed the cost of prior repairs within 60 days of submitting my request. I submitted on 4/11, on follow-up I was told they did not get my request and resubmitted on 5/8. I spoke with Ian on 5/8 and was told to expect reimbursement in 60 days. On 5/10 I received an email that Jeep would not honor reimbursement until a repair remedy was available. 6/18 was informed that a repair remedy still is not available. Request assistance on getting reimbursement and re-repair of PTU.
