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 had before these two incidents referenced above was on july 19, 2019 and the mileage was 53191. the mileage on the car now is 56916. taken into account that we've probably driven about 150 miles since the first incident until right now, that means we're "down" 1 quart/1800 miles. researching "google", there are multiple complaints from other cherokee owners of 2016 or other year models of the same issue. they say jeep feels 1 quart of oil used/1000miles of driving is acceptable. even so, my concern is why my vehicle is suddenly experiencing this power loss and oil usage when for the past 5 years (purchased car 10/31/2015) it has never been an issue. one oil change mileage was over 7500 miles and yet we never had this problem. the oil light has never come on to warn of low oil pressure.
While driving on highway or locally i have been experiencing when accelerating and it feels like the fuel pump/fuel injection is not running correctly. the problem starts at 20mp / 40 mph and at time at 60mph. i have brough it back to allen mello in nashua where i had bought the jeep and the service department can't get figure out the problem. the hooked up machine to see they can get a code and no code is being detected. this has been going on since november 2019 and i have about enough. i know they is a jeep recall on fuel pump and i am certain that my jeep was missed. this is a serious matter with the jeep. i called the jeep recall today 1-27-20 and they advised me to notified nhtsa regarding this matter.... they also said like i state above my 2016 jeep cherokee probably was missed to be on the recall.
1. thermostat state as problem to make engine chug/stall 2. air compressor / clutch unit needed at 61,000. have 75 anniversary jeep and really nothing but problems!! not happy
Vehicle, while in motion, stalls and engine shuts off at any speed. being told oil burns too quickly in these vehicles and this is a safety feature the car has although it has almost cost me multiple serious/potentilly fatal collisions with my infant children in the vehicle. no oil indicator has ever turned on indicating oil level is low. had same issue with this car at 15,000 miles in which engine was completely replaced but now is doing the same thing as before. this is a well documented issue amongst jeeps - why has there not been a recall? this is a major safety concern and our lives and the lives of our children are at risk as i almost was t-boned today as my engine stalled in a busy intersection. i was attempting to turn but had not yet maneuvered and was left stalled in the middle blocking oncoming traffic on a busy city street but had had this same problem happen on a highway.
2016 jeep cherokee limited fwd, misfiring and shaking began while stopped at traffic light and while driving afterwards for 1/2 mile. automatic start/stop was on. pulled off road and turned engine off and let set for 1-hour. restarted vehicle and began shaking and misfiring again. this time engine light came on and start/stop system warning came on. shut vehicle off again and let sit for 30 minutes. started vehicle again and put in reverse, drove for a few minutes and vehicle began shaking and misfiring again while going through the shifting sequence. drove it to a dealership and it did this the entire way, approximately 10 miles. no matter what speed i was driving it was still happening. the shaking/misfiring seemed to subside a little when a/c was not in use. in addition to other warning lights coming on, service-shifter light came on while making a right-hand turn.
Engine shuts off while turning sharp turn. hesitates to restart
Engine shuts off on sharp turns. display center says message saying vechicle must be stopped to change gears and shuts off engine. the shifter was not touched when message came up. then engine doesn't want to start quickly. it hesitates. stutters to restart.
Has been back to the dealer 4 times in one year for replacement of spark plugs and ignition coil. car runs rough and shakes. 53000 miles, have had it since it was brand new. feel unsafe driving in it.
Periodic strong gas smell in cabin.
At 61,000 miles my jeep started having a strong fuel smell in the cabin after coming to a stop with the auto-start dis-engaged. reading online, many people on the forums have similar issues with cherokees since the early 2000's with no known malfunction to fix. the exhaust smell has caused headaches in the last week.
Vechile stalling while driving. the vechile will stall driving at low speed turns, up hills and coming to a stop. second time it has been to dealership for same problem. first time was june 30 2016. second is today.
Several times in the past 3 months (6-8 times), without warning, the car shuts off. the engine completely stops regardless of in motion or accelerating from a stop. it has happened each way. it shuts off, and the vehicle computer provides a message that you must be in park to start the vehicle. i shift to park and it starts up again. when it shuts off the power steering goes and you cannot control the direction of the vehicle. there are no symptoms and no warning but i see enough of the same complaint that i am reporting it. it has not happened at highway speed yet, and i am afraid it might based on the other jeep owners comments.
Bought car august 2016, first noticed severe jolt/kick august 2017. it appeared randomly. so severe that the first 10 or so times i really thought i was rear ended. when traveling around 40-45 mph car jolts/kicks/jumps/drops (pick your term) when the car shifts gears. doesn't happen every time, mostly when traffic is creeping along.and noticed that the car idled very roughly out of the driveway just before the check engine light came on all three times. dealership resets computer then says they can't replicate issue, i've taken it in 3 times now for these issues with no real resolution. they are replacing valve body this time, my car is under two years old and i do not feel safe driving it anywhere.
The check engine light is on once in two weeks. my local dealer in san diego (rancho chrysler jeep dodge) said that there is a problem with engine gas valve. they said it was leaking. each time this is the issue. this is my 4th time going to the dealer. i strongly believe that its very risky for passengers to drive such cars with leaks. i request nhtsa team to please review all jeep cherokee models as they need re-calls and its unsafe for public to drive such leaky vehicles. i was very afraid when i was turning on highway and my car started noise as if something is bursting, it was very frightening moment.
On several different occasions now, after accelerating from a complete stop the car will start to accelerate and then it'll no longer respond to pressing down the accelerator. the engine does not rev and no speed is gained as the car continues to coast. i have been able to remedy it by shifting into neutral and back into drive. no warning lights or indicators appear signaling an issue. this typically happens on city streets after exiting the highway and has occurred when going straight from a stop, or while making a turn after a complete stop. car currently has less than 35,000 miles. has not been taken to any dealership, since there has been no indication of failure.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep cherokee. while driving, the oil level became low and the vehicle stalled without warning. the failure occurred multiple times. the vehicle was taken to siemans chrysler dodge ram jeep (8691 red arrow hwy, bridgman, mi 49106) and the contact was advised to add oil to the vehicle every 1,000 miles to keep it from running low. the manufacturer was also contacted and did not assist. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 15,000. *tt updated 12/13/18*jb
Shortly after fueling my vehicle my vehicle will lose all acceleration. it has been a problem since the car was first purchased and continues with 30,000 miles. it occurs about 70% of the time after fueling. the most recent occourances caused me to stall on a major roadway. i was nearly hit by a trailer. in order for me to gain power again i must shift turn the car off shift to park and then restart the car..
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep cherokee. while exiting the driveway, the contact observed a fuel spill under the vehicle near the fuel tank. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced. the dealer also stated that the safety lock valve on the vehicle was not installed during production, which caused the failure to occur. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 8,200.
Problem began with the car bucking significantly after changing gears. then, when the car was in drive (but foot was on the brake), car would start to buck again, transmission slowed, car would not accelerate, kept bucking and lights in car dimmer. had to keep restarting the car to get it to keep going. but, once i used the brake again, the bucking and loss of acceleration would start all over again. dealer continues to state that the computer in the car is not registering any problems at all. has been in the dealer 3 times over the last 3 weeks. this all happened when the vehicle is in motion, on any kind of street or highway, whenever the gear begins to cause bucking after changing.
Purchased 2016 jeep cherokee brand new from susanville auto center and the car has now been in the shop 6 times and towed in the last time. it has now fried the coil and the spark plugs. it has been in for 2 wheel sensors, thermostate replacement at 1500 mile, coolant leak at 2500 and now the coil and plug issue while driving home from auburn ca over 200 miles from home car started jerking dash flickering and use over 3/4 tank of gas in 50 mile and would only go 45mph at 25k. i drive for a living an can not afford to be stranded in the middle of no where as a woman. i've contact jeep corp and of course no response. dealer wont do anything either. now to try ca lemon law and attorney general.
Mileage mpg is nowhere near epa sticker displayed on jeep when purchased. perhaps this is due to mechanical problems? (see tranny slippage report) same trip, same/similar driving conditions, no stop-and-go traffic, flat-ish highway, no wind, hot weather [i.e. less windage], should average about ~28mpg, but average is ~20mpg. also, average mpg is dropping (i.e. was ~26mpg ... then 24mpg ... then 20mpg.)
I was pulling into traffic after stopping at intersection car went dead no power it would not turn back on until i removed key and reinserted it then it started. i was stopped partaily in roadway
First of all, this is a brand new vehicle. i bought it 6 weeks ago and it has less than 3000k miles. the vehicle was in motion and it shut down/ stalled out. how can a new vehicle just loose power? the dashboard told me service the transmission. the emergency brake light came on and the check engine light came on. the jeep sat in the median of a 4 lane busy highway just running. it took an hour for roadside service to have a tow truck to come to me. my baby, puppy and i were just stranded in the middle of a bad storm. jeep knows of this. they don't care about their consumers. now my life is in danger with this piece of crap. crap that costs me $26k! the tow truck driver told me i was his 4th customer today with the same problem as the others who have this exact model. please do not buy! your life will be in jeopardy or at the hands of an unmerciful company. the dealership told me they didn't even want it back. i'm just stuck!
