I have a 2018 jeep cherokee with under 30,000 miles on it. my car's stalled in the middle of an intersection while taking a right turn. my brakes and steering were locked, causing me to drift up on to a curb and hit a sign. no warning or indicator lights came on in the car prior to this. i had the car towed to the dealership that i am leasing the car from. i was told that this is common with jeeps, that the car will burn through oil very quickly, that no low oil indicator light will come on, and that the engine will shut down as a 'safety feature.' i was told that there is nothing i can do to protect myself beyond getting oil changes every 3k miles and that it 'should' be fine. again, there is absolutely no warning that the car will shut down or that there is an issue prior to it turning off while in motion. the car shutting off while in motion was referred to as a safety feature by the dealership who would only offer me an oil change as a fix.
We purchased a used 2018 jeep cherokee latitude (less than 13,000 miles) from a dealership in colorado springs on 10/17. on the way home, about 100 miles, the stop /start warning light and battery light went on about 8 miles from home going approx. 50 mph. we decided to get it home. at the bottom of the driveway, we placed the car in reverse and noticed that power steering was not working. we turned off the vehicle and at restart, the warning lights were reset. we notified the dealership immediately and they recommended changing out battery. we drove about 15 miles to an auto parts store and bought the best battery they had for that vehicle. we did not use the jeep for the next day (friday). saturday 10/19 we drove it down to denver (about 60 miles) with no problem. on the way home, again the stop /start warning light and battery light went on going approx. 60 mph. we drove to a parking lot and made a turn into a parking spot. at that point power steering was operable. i placed the car in park and then in reverse and then noticed no power steering, i placed the car in drive and again no power steering. we stopped and restarted the vehicle and the warning lights were reset. about 2 minutes later while driving, i noticed that the driver's side seat warmer and rear defrost had both been switched on automatically.
My vehicle ws in motion when the battery light flashed on briefly. immediately after this my vehicle lost power completely. i was unable to steer, brake or accelerate. the vehicle completely shut off. i used my emergency brake to stop the vehicle.*bf consumer stated the vehicle is currently having the engine replaced but it had around 28,000 miles on it. the battery light briefly blinked on before the vehicle stopped functioning. the last oil change was on may 26,2019. vin is invalid.*jb
I was completing a turn when the vehicle lost all power and shut completely off causing me to loose control of the vehicle and hit a curb. vehicle was then towed to dealership where i was advised this happened due to a safety feature of my car . when the car is low on oil when you turn it throws off the oil pressure sensor so the engine doesn't blow up . my last oil change was in feb my car is completely out of oil and no check oil light appeared .
Front end wobble when accelerating from low speeds.
While in motion with cruise control set at 65 mph the transmission jerked twice and the engine revved up and as if it was in neutral, stayed that way as if the accelerator was stuck. i hit my brakes because we was losing speed and when stopped i tried to put in park but it sounded as if gears was gri. ding i had to shut off the jeep to make it stop revving. i was in the middle of the 4 lane and could only shift to neutral and row backwards into the median. i was unable to put back in drive with put gears grinding. i had been driving approximately 40 mins at a speed of 60-70 when this happened. no warning lights and nothing on the dash at time of issue.
After starting the car and leaving my driveway for the last 2days, i get about 1/2 mile down the road and an indicator comes on telling me that shifting while driving can't be done. the car shuts completely down and i have to make a sudden stop to turn the key off. the steeringwheel locks up making it impossible to get out of the road. when i try to restart, it acts like starter is fighting to turn on. i have to give it fuel to get it to start. then i don't have problems the rest of the day
Monday‎, ‎august‎ ‎13‎, ‎2018 the jeep cherokee was in for its first oil change. minutes after receiving the vehicle from the oil change and driving off the dealer lot at 10:07 am received the charging/battery indicator along with the auto start/stop error indicator. seconds later when trying to turn the jeep became very difficult to turn. the vehicle began to emit a bunch of smoke. when we returned to the service center at the dealer, it was explained that a faulty o-ring on the oil filter caused the loss of 2 quarts of oil. smolich motors service center failed to note the auto start stop error and no error was present after the loss of oil was replenished and we received the vehicle back despite being shown the picture of the error. they did note the o-ring failure and the loss of 2 quarts of oil on the service order receipt. thursday‎, ‎september‎ ‎6‎, ‎2018 9:28 am while turning from badger st on to the bend parkway the charging/battery light appeared with the message to service throttle control and again experienced difficult steering while narrowly avoiding a collision with a semi truck.
While driving highway speeds there is a vibration between 60 and 80 miles per hour. i have had the tires replaced, rims replaced and no change in vibration. it has started since i owned the vehicle with 7 miles on the odometer till today with 9000 miles on it. the dealer claims that this is normal throughout the line of cherokees and is just "road vibration" but talking with other owners this is not the case and they do not experience the same thing. it does tend to fade away during long left turns on the freeway but appears as soon as the vehicle straightens. numerous attempts to get the dealership to fix this has resulted in no headway as the dealer claims that this is normal.
