2018 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN MOTION , THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE VEHICLES WHERE COMING AT HIGH SPEEDS NEARLY CAUSING FATAL ACCIDENTS! WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AS I WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH THE LIGHT THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED. *TT *TR

CRUISE CONTROL KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. 2.4ML ENGINE STALLS A LOT HARD TO STOP CAR WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND IT'S GOES IN AND OUT ON ITS OWN

FIRST STARTED WITH JERKING AS YOU'RE DRIVING AT ONE TIME WE WERE AT A STOPLIGHT AS AND IT THE CAR JUST WANTED TO TAKE OFF BY ITSELF AND WE ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT THE CAR IS ALWAYS LOW ON OIL I MEAN WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 3 MILES WITHIN WEEKS IT WOULD ACTUALLY HAD NO OIL MY HUSBAND THOUGHT OUT MAYBE THE MANUFACTURER JUST DIDN'T FILL IT UP ALL THE WAY BY MISTAKE DIDN'T CHECK IT OUT SO HE WENT AND PURCHASED WILL PUT OIL IN IT TWO WEEKS LATER TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WE ALREADY A QUART LOW CAR WASTE IS GAS LIKE CRAZY WE ARE CONSTANTLY FILLING UP EVERY 2 DAYS AND THEN CAR DOESN'T REALLY GO ANYWHERE BUT FROM WHAT 15 MILES A DAY ON OUR WAY TO KANSAS SO WE WERE COMING TO A CURVE AND MY HUSBAND TRY TO HIT THE BRAKES AND THE CAR DID NOT BREAK IT ACTUALLY ACCELERATED AND HE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AS HE WAS DRIVING JUST TO SLOW IT DOWN TO AVOID GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT I MEAN WE'VE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR SINCE DAY ONE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER AND WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES THEN I HEAR RECALL ABOUT A HOSE FOR THE GAS LINE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THESE CARS

MY JEEP DOES NOT STAY LOCKED. I CAN LOCK THE CAR, BUT IF SOMEONE TRIES TO OPEN IT, THEY ARE ABLE TO WITHOUT A PROBLEM, EVEN WHEN THE FOB IS NOWHERE NEAR THE CAR. ALL THAT HAPPENS IS THE THEFT ALARM TRIGGERS. MY CAR WAS OPENED BY SOMEONE IN A PARKING GARAGE AT WORK EVEN THOUGH MYSELF AND THE FOB WERE NOT NEAR THE VEHICLE. THE ALARM WENT OFF BUT THE PERSON WAS ABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR WITH NO PROBLEM,

I GOT ON I-95 FROM THE LANTANA EXIT HEADING WEST AND I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD SPEEDOMETER ACCELERATED TO 119 MILE PER HOUR BUT THE VEHICLE ITSELF WAS NOT MOVING AT THAT SPEED. I EXITED TWO EXIT'S LATER ONTO GATEWAY BLVD AND THE DASHBOARD SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL SHOWING THAT I WAS GOING AT A DANGEROUS SPEED THAN I WAS ACTUALLY GOING. I CALLED SCHUMACHER DELRAY WHERE I NOW LEASE THE VEHICLE FROM AND I WAS GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT FOR FRIDAY 4/27/2018. I ALSO EMAILED THE MANAGER KEN CADMENS AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SAL DELGRECO AND I AM STILL AWAITING A RESPONSE. I OBTAINED THIS VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AGO WHERE I GAVE BACK A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT WHICH HAD DANGEROUS WHEEL BEARING ISSUES THAT CAUSED THE TIRES TO WEAR AS THOUGH THEY WERE 10 YEARS OLD. ABOUT (3)THREE WEEKS AFTER, LEASING THIS NEW 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE ON MARCH 14, 2018, I WAS INFORMED THROUGH CREDIT KARMA THAT MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE MAY (NOT FOR CERTAIN) HAVE DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT CAN CAUSE A CRASH AND FATALITY AND THAT I SHOULD GET IT CHECKED OUT. I CONTACTED THE SAME TWO ABOVE INDIVIDUALS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED IMMEDIATELY BY EMAIL TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS CREDIT KARMA REPORT REGARDING THE VEHICLE SAFETY. HOWEVER, TO DATE APRIL 24, 2018 THEY NOR ANYONE ELSE HAS GOTTEN BACK TO ME. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, I AM NOW BEGINNING TO HAVE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM OF AN EXCESSIVE SPEED READING OF THE VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER SHOWING ON THE DASHBOARD. I CAN ONLY HOPE AND PRAY THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE IT SELF TO THE ACTUAL EXCESSIVE SPEEDS THAT IT IS SHOWING ON THE DASHBOARD.

I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE NEW ON MARCH 30. ON SUNDAY, APRIL 1 THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO PARK ASSIST MODE WITHOUT THE BUTTON BEING PUSHED. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE. WE HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO GET THE CAR TO GO IN DRIVE AGAIN. LUCKILY WE WERE IN AN OUTSIDE LANE AND COULD PULL OVER TO THE EDGE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT IS SCARY TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD WE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. *TT *TR

TRANSMISSION LURCHES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP ALSO WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND SOMETIMES GOING INTO REVERSE. IT'S A HARD LURCH SO STOPPING FOR PEDESTRIANS HAS TO HAPPEN EARLY AS I'M CONCERNED THE CAR COULD HIT SOMEONE. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP LATITUDE AND AT 4300 MILES IT STARTED ACTING UP AND SHUT DOWN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I WAS TRAVELING. I HAD TO USE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAVE IT TOWED.JEEP STATED THAT IT WAS BURNING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES STATED IT WAS 4 QUARTS OF OIL LOW. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS BURNING FROM EITHER. TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT 1000 MILES AND BRING IT BACK. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A WARNING THAT MY OIL WAS LOW IT JUST SHUT DOWN. *TT *CN *JS

PICKED UP THE VEHICLE FROM SOUTHERN JEEP GREENBRIER VA. MARCH 17, 2018, AFTER TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, 854 MILES ON VEHICLE. DROVE THE VEHICLE 22 MILES HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. LEFT HOME 0800 MARCH 18, 2018 AND DROVE LESS THAN 2 MILES AND AT 55 MPH THE ENGINE QUIT WITHOUT WARNING (NO WARNING LIGHTS UNTIL THE ENGINE CUT OFF) ON THE KINGS HIGHWAY STATE RT. 125. THIS ROAD HAS LIMITED SHOULDERS AS IT TRAVELS THROUGH A SWAMP SO THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE ROAD PRESENTING A SAFETY HAZARD. CALLED GOOD SAMS ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO SOUTHERN JEEP GREENBRIER. TWO MAJOR COMPONENT FAILURES TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE WITHIN A WEEK WITH HALF THAT TIME UNDERGOING REPAIRS. FAULT CODES DISPLAYED IN THE DASHBOARD WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING: ENGINE TEMPERATURE WARNING, ENGINE CHECK/MALFUNCTION, ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL, ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIME TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO SUCCESS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE. *TT *JS

ENTERING I 264 VA, PRESSED ACCELERATOR RESULTING IN A LURCHING MOTION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE CAUSING OTHER VEHICLES TO SWERVE TO AVOID REAR ENDING OUR 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. IT REPEATED THIS ACTION MANY TIMES AS WE LIMPED HOME UNDER 40 MPH. WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND CALLED THE DEALER (SOUTHERN CHRYSLER JEEP AT GREENBRIER). THE DEALER AUTHORIZED TOWING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE CALLED US AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AUTHORIZED ORDERING A NEW TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT COME OUT OF GEAR.
