Thankfully, after reading a large number of complaints from the same problem as my, we were still in our driveway when the vehicle was put in reverse and started to back out when warning came up to put vehicle in park and then select gear. so put in park and put into drive to pull back into driveway when warning came on to service transmission. vehicle only has 54000 miles on it. reading of a lot of people has this same issue, some while driving on the interstate
Following day vehicle completely shut down while driving on the interstate at 55 mph . dealership contacted and vehicle brought in for inspection. dealer concluded that engine had no oil, although internal indicators failed to advise and showed vehicle had 60% oil life remaining and 3000 miles until scheduled oil change. dealer advised that vehicle is known to burn oil, this has happened to me 3x already. the jeep chereokee manual states oil changes should be done every 8,000 miles. i have been getting my oil changes way before the stated requirement of 8000. there is clearly something wrong with my engine. i have a 10 month baby and i am terrified of driving this vehicle. it randomly shuts down and stalls. iam so scared for my life everytime i drive this vehicle and it is all i have . i bought this car brand new!! my engine is clearly defective and should be replaced.
Vehicle shuts off while driving. happens mostly in the morning and after making a turn. the vehicle has shut off at random times throughout the day and evening. could be a cranking issue as it happens mostly within a half hour of starting. every incident where the vehicle has shut off while driving has been on a street and while accelerating in motion. before shutting off, the engine light will come on and immediately after, will shut off.
While in drive the jeep cherokee sport (premium pkg) car cuts off in street 3x and hwy 4x and engine light turns on. car also loses power/speed while in drive and engine light turns on when making a turn. car loses speed and driver is not able to accelerate while on busy hwy or street.. bought car new with 16 miles on odometer from chrysler jeep dealer. manufacture warranty expired 2 months prior to this problem. mileage 63,000 miles. i have an expensive extended dealer warranty. chrysler jeep dealer says engine will be replaced w/ no deductible and no addl customer cost according to dealer warranty.. oil gaskets blown also with excellent service record at chrysler jeep dealer.. no one should have to purchase an expensive extended warranty on a new car and have to replace an engine for a car under 5 years old. car has one driver 62 yrs old, no accidents no tickets in 15 years this is awful for a 3.25 year old jeep!! car has been at jeep dealership service dept since dec 31, 2019 for engine replacement.
When driving my 2016 jeep cherokee the vehicle has died out completely on me in the middle of driving. while driving there is a ding noise followed by a message on my dash board that says put car in park then switch into gear, when i am already in drive and driving then the car stops and the brakes and steering locks up completely the battery light flashes then the whole dash goes black. then i have to trying turning it over a few times and then it will finally start with no warning lights on or anything after it just locked up and died. this vehicle has died several times on me while turning right, while just driving, and in the middle of intersections. i took it to a mechanic and there is no indication of this happening as far as codes that can be brought up or anything but when he test drove it the same thing happened to him he made a right on 12-31 and the car said put car in park then select a gear then went black and then it took a few times for the car to turn over again, but yet again ...
Engine shut off while vehicle in motion with foot on accelerator (traveling ~10mph). . lost power steering and brakes. notice appeared on dashboard about shifter. tried to power engine back on to no avail. waited a couple of minutes and vehicle was able to start again.
Check engine light came on. took the vehicle to local jeep dealership. vehicle has approx. 38,000 miles and the thermostat housing assembly is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. told by dealership this is a common issue with 2015/2016 cherokees between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. vehicle is no longer under warranty. if this is such a common occurrence, shouldn't this be a recall? if ignored, this could lead to severe engine damage.
Cei p0128 coolant temperature too cold. no overheating issues, temps have remained consistently. came on while driving. thermostat needs replacing in only 4 years from purchase. temps have only been hovering around freezing.
I was driving down the street then went to take a left and my car shut off. i got it to the side of the road and tried to start it,would not start. i then waited a few minutes and tried again and it started luckily i was close to home and called tow truck and they brought it to dealership found out is burning oil only had 35;698 miles and when the car gets down two quarts of oil these cars will shut down with no notice. someone is going to get killed. no dash light comes on.
This issue has happened seven times now in the last month. most recent was on 11/14/2019. while driving (in motion) about 25 mph in residential area, jeep turns off in the middle of the road. error message pops up on dashboard to "shift to p then desired gear" (see photo). i am able to pull over to the side of the road but car has to be turned completely off. it takes a couple of tires to restart the engine. unknown as to why this is happening. took to dealership and they said they could not find any codes and to let them know if problems continues. this is very dangerous as i could have been on a major highway and caused an accident.
I have the 2.4l in my cherokee. the same as other jeep models and i have had the same oil consumption issue that this engine line has. jeep just shut off and had to restart. no warning or lights on dash to indicate low oil. i had just a drop of oil on the dipstick. only drove just over 5000 miles. dealer said its normal to burn oil and fca knows about the issue but will not repair. they say about 70% of the 2.4 are affected across all models. with all the issues i see on forums and social media it seems something should be done before we get to the threshold of unacceptable accidents and death. all maintenance has been done at a fca dealer. hard to believe it just started to burn oil.
Drove car for only 2-3 blocks after sitting 8 hours while at work (first time 11/12/19 - outside temp in the 30's) and the second time overnight in unheated garage (11/23/19 - outside temps in the 30's), while turning right at a stoplight to enter on to a major artery (first time) and a stop-sign to enter onto a residential street (second time) the car shut itself off coming to a complete stop. both times car was not "warmed-up" before driving. contacted a local chrysler/jeep dealer who got us in for check-up 11/27/19 and eventually said the engine oil was below the dipstick and if the oil gets too low the engine will get hot and to prevent engine damage the car will shut down automatically. this has never happened before despite us traveling for the past 4 summers approximately 4000 miles from kansas city to yellowstone national park and back, and the summer of 2018 to yellowstone, seattle and back (total of over 5000 miles and each time not getting another oil change for over another month to 5 months of city driving once we got back home. the last oil change we ...
Engine failure while going around a bend. steering completely locked up and breaks were none functional. thank god i was only traveling at approximately 15mhp in town and was able to safely cost out of the way of oncoming traffic. my dashboard said shift to p (park) and then desired gear and the battery light illuminated. i tried to restart in park but jeep would not start. after about 15 minutes my jeep started back up and ran normal. my concern is if i was driving 70mph on the highway with my children in the truck (which i have to do everyday as i work out of town) what would have happened??? would i even be writing this right now? there was no warnings, no lights on, no indication my engine would fail while engaged what so ever. this is a huge safety concern!
2016 jeep cherokee approx. 58,000 miles began shutting down while exiting the parking garage, stalled out several times and steering and all control of the vehicle was lost. took it to the shop and after running diagnostic was told that nothing could be found to be wrong with the vehicle. did not drive the vehicle for a week and when it was driven again began displaying the same problems with complete shut down. after some investigation on this web site and others, i found that this is a common problem with the 2016 jeep cherokee due to the built in kill switch to protect the engine when the oil is low. i checked the oil and it was indeed low. prior to this failure, the vehicle has been well maintained with all recommended oil changes and preventative maintenance. jeep/chryslers solution to the problem-check your oil more often! this vehicle is dangerous-not only to the driver and passengers but to other vehicles on the roads as the vehicle stops with no warning and could cause major accidents and deaths. they need to be taken off of the roadways
