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.
Electrical warning system can not be remedied. emergency brake system is malfunctioning and setting when car is in drive. electrical system completely went dead on the freeway causing the car to stall, when car was restarted and nursed off of the freeway the electrical system completely went dead, the transmission locked up preventing the tow company from loading the car onto the tow truck, the car was manually manipulated to release the system into neutral. the cars electronic dash board completely goes dead while on the freeway. the car has been in 3 dealerships over more than 1 month, the dealerships claim they have replaced computer components, can't find anything wrong, or 'jiggle the wires'. the cars warranty is nearly up, and we have been pressured to buy an extended warranty. the dealership has provided us with a rental car, and claimed to have fixed the problem, that is when the cars electrical system failed on the freeway. the car is a complete hazard. my husband has the repair records on file.
Driving down a city highway the service shifter alert came on. all of the lights next to the indicators on the shifter lit up. this has happened twice so far today. the parking brake has also been turning itself on as soon as the jeep is put in gear and the foot is let off of the brake.
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 right brake pad/rotor failure when stopping vehicle. appearance of significant localized brake pad material is cemented to the rotor in one location causing failure of right front tire to brake properly. vehicle delivered after purchase with 272 miles, noticed on first trip that the system "pulsated" when stopping. increased stopping distance required from highway speeds. inspection of assembly shows approximately 2" circular rusted ring on rotor, indicating failure occurred with less than 272 miles on vehicle.
1.)the door knob/handle is burning hot that you could hardly handle it or grab it. 2.) when turning, there is a squizzing sound at the rear wheels and could hardly pull forward, something like holding back. 3.) while in total stop, engine on, there is a clicking sound when stepping on brake and it can also feel the clicking sound when placing your hand at the shift lever. what if making a turn, then it wont move in the middle of a busy raod? what if, while driving on the freeway the driver side burns,driver cannot get out.
