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.

Within two minutes of starting the vehicle and driving it on the road, the vehicle was stall mid-traffic and become inoperable. the battery light then comes on with an error on screen with something to the effect of, "car must be in park in order to shift." turning the key does nothing until 3 minutes of causing a traffic hazard when the engine finally turns over. also the transmission has rough shifts at slow speeds causing the vehicle to suddenly jerk forward as if the gas was aggressively pushed down. this jerkiness to the transmission and speed has almost caused me to hit parked vehicles when trying to park the vehicle in a parking lot area.

Transmission shifts up to 7th gear and than down to6th gear some times engine shuts off than restart while driving highway traffic. transmission shifts but engine red lines before you go in gear.
