2019 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

Svc 4wd light has been on for several months. Had it checked out at auto shop. They stated that ptu needed had issues and would cost 3000 to repair. Did not get it fixed.

I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited 60,897 miles. I have an error message that has been constantly on "Srvc 4WD". This is a current recall however my VIN is not included. NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000

When driving to work a popping/clunking sound was noticed from under the vehicle. Coasted to a stop, Jeep wouldn't move when in drive like there was no power. No service lights came on. Stuck on the side of the road with cars driving by. Since the Jeep wouldn't move it was difficult to ensure I was completely off the road. Called AAA, towed Jeep to repair shop where a catastrophic failure of the rear differential and transfer case was noted. We were in the process of trading the Jeep in due to multiple issues noted during the last service inspection, including corrosion near snap ring of rear differential.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the "Check 4-WD" message was displayed. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000 (Power Train); however, the contact's vehicle was not part of the VIN selection. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was 36,780.

While diving on interstate 435 at highway speed the PTU failed on the vehicle while crossing a long bridge with no significant shoulder to pull over to. Driver had to coast the vehicle to the end of the bridge creating a safety hazard due to reduced speed, eventually pulling over on to shoulder after the bridge. Vehicle would not move and actually started to roll backward while in gear. The safety of the driver and all others traveling on the road behind the vehicle were put at risk due to the vehicle becoming inoperable at interstate speeds. Power Transfer Unit failed and is still in place on vehicle awaiting repair. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and remains there awaiting repair. The PTU was inspected by a mechanic at the dealership. There was no warning prior to the failure of the part.

My vehicle yesterday indicated a warning light on the dashboard SVC 4WD. I see there is a recall for this issue which covers my year but when I enter my VIN number it indicates there are no recalls associated with it.

My panoramic sunroof just shattered without reason.i wasn't close enough to any vehicle for a rock or debris to be the issue I was driving a steady speed on the freeway when it happen. The glass that broke seemed to have broke outward not inward.

See that there is a voluntary recall, to start, my first occasion, I was driving down a busy highway with my child in the car. The check engine light engaged, all lights on dash came on and the car stopped while I was driving down the highway. Luckily we didn’t get injured. This stopped for a while, then restarted 3-4 more times after slowing to a stop in the middle of a road, highway. Now, the engine jerks so hard when accelerating, or when slowing down as if the engine was ready to fall out. This is extremely dangerous and needs the recall to be in effect, fixed as soon as possible before someone gets killed. Parts on back order indefinitely is unbelievable. What are we supposed to do? Drive, and hope that we don’t get killed because of a defect??
