Recently reported POWER TRAIN problems on 2019 Jeep Cherokee

I was driving home from work one night and all the dash lights come on and the vehicle completely stalled in the middle of the highway. i had to attempt to pull over and switch the key off and back on to restart the engine. i also have been at a stop multiple times and turn out into the road and my vehicle won't go, which could result in me getting hit. i also had my recall 'fixed' for the power train, went back because i received another letter saying it was possibly not fixed and it still tells me the problem was not fixed on my vehicle. i cannot use cruise control on my vehicle because when it goes down the slightest hill, curve, whatever, the rpms go all the way up and just sit there, even when i have turned off the cruise control and braked it still stays shifted up for a long time. i regret purchasing this vehicle, especially with a baby on the way any day now and her safety being at risk. we are in the process of finding another vehicle.

My car make a humming noise like it's trying to catch up while driving it stalls and sometimes while driving the car engine goes dead i have to keep pushing start button about 3 times to restart i took a picture of light that comes on and also another car backed into my car when car went dead it's very dangerous been to dealership several times they said everything was ok they even told me to take pictures of lights when it happens like i'm lying and i did even thought all pictures are time stamp.i can't afford uber and car note i need help.this happens on freeway highway side street anytime no warning.

Car does not go in to drive and will sometimes lurks in to high gear from a start or a initial go. the car revs up thinking it was in drive then slams in to high gear and goes.

My car hesitiates when putting it in to drive from backing up or just taking off. it hesitates going from low to high speed taking a long time intermittently. this is a very serious safety issue. i could be side swiped or ran in to.

Transmission slipped started to slip on my 2019 jeep cherokee with 10000 miles. car is just about brand new and the service transmission/shifter message and check engine light came on as well as all the transmission gear lights are lit.

I was in an automatic car wash and after it was finished my jeep would not engage into drive from neutral. i had the automatic engine shut down turned off. i tried multiple time from shifting from neutral into drive. i also restarted my jeep twice and on the second time it started and i could drive away.

I have had my car since august 2018. since june, the car has randomly stopped operating while i am driving. it will not accelerate and if i am on a hill begin to drift backwards until i am able to get the emergency brake on. it is extremely dangerous as it has happened in busy intersections and highways. my car has turned off while making turns and while accelerating up hills. sometimes the lights on the dash all turn on and other times it is just one light (such as the battery light). in june 2019, i had to have it towed to the dealer where they said my car needed an oil change and there was a sensor that needed to be replaced that caused the car to think their wasn't enough oil. then, in september 2019, it happened again and i was told it was because i was due for an oil change. i was still approximately 500 miles from my next oil change and was told that the issue of my car stopping in traffic was due to "dirty oil." in december 2019, this has happened again. ...

When driving down hills and manually downshifting to maintain the legal safe speed the transmission will freewheel for several seconds around 45 mph and will not downshift until 53 mph. at first service visit, dealer updated shift programming for the transmission, with no improvement. at second visit, jeep service wrote on invoice "6886 normal vehicle characteristic. verified customer concern. going downhill and manually shifting, engine and vehicle speed may increase before down shifting. this is due to a dog clutch being used for that gear, and requires engine speed to increase in order to engage that clutch. no fault codes, no service bulletins or star cases for this concern. tech and shop foreman road tested vehicle confirming normal operation as compared to like vehicle." several times when descending a moderate hill in san diego, a hard brake application is required to bring the vehicle under control so as to avoid a rear end collision with a vehicle in front. this is an unsafe design fault of the zf 9-speed transmission. more than 500,000 zf-9 transmissions have been recalled since 2014, and safety problems continue.

When i accelerate my vehicle after a stop or getting on the highway, it stalls and or stutters. this is a major safety concern. i have almost been hit because my vehicle would not accelerate when i had my foot on the gas.

I purchased a 2019 jeep cherokee trailhawk on 11/11/2019. that same evening the instrument cluster, uconnect, and lights all cut out while i was driving down the road. this caused the engine control to be cut and dtc's for brakes, esc, transmission, and the shifter. thankfully the first few times this happened on a street with heavy traffic during rush hour and i was able to restart the vehicle. it happened again on the second day while in motion on a side road and again the third day except while driving on the highway. after the third day, i scheduled it for service at a local jeep dealer. upon having my vehicle for five days, the dealer discovered a corroded/faulty ground and made the necessary repairs. the vehicle was picked up on 11/18/2019. it drove great until 11/20/2019 when the power once again was cut from the instrument cluster, uconnect, and lights. this also resulted in a loss of engine control with the same array of dtc codes being displayed and also occurred while driving. i was able to safely pull off the road and restart the vehicle. thankfully this happened roughly a mile from the dealer and i was ...
