CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 2.4 LITER 4CYL ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STALLED ONCE AND SHUT OFF TWICE. AUGUST 31, 2018 THE ENGINE SHUT OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME WHILE DRIVING. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER. NOVEMBER 2018 - JEEP ISSUES A RECALL - JEEP CHEROKEE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.4L ENGINES. IMPROPER TRANSMISSION CALIBRATION MAY RESULT IN A STALL. CHRYSLER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL RE-FLASH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLLER WITH A NEW CALIBRATION, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN NOVEMBER 2, 2018. THE DEALER FIXED THIS LAST NOVEMBER 2018. YESTERDAY THE JEEP STALLED AND TODAY MARCH 21, 2019 THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER TODAY. I WAS RATTLED. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE DRIVING SLOW AND IN RESIDENTIAL OR REMOTE AREAS. OTHERS HAVE NOT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEN IN MOTION OR PARKED, TURNING ON MY HEATER, MY SCREEN SHOWS ENGINE OVER HEATING. I'VE CHECKED COOLANT AND OIL LEVELS AND ARE WELL OVER HALF FULL. . MY CAR IS LESS THAN 3 MONTHS OLD, SO THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH JEEP CHEROKEES.

PURCHASED USED WITH 5K MILES, 40% OIL LEVEL BASED ON INFO CENTER. AFTER TWO MONTHS AND THE OIL LEVEL AT 10% THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF RANDOMLY WHEN TURNING, MILES AT AROUND 7K. OCCURRED 2-3 TIMES, TOOK TO JIFFY LUBE AND AFTER OIL CHANGE DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL HIT 10,500 MILES AND OIL LEVEL AT 50% BASED ON INFO CENTER, ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN TURNING IN MOTION, OCCURRED AGAIN MULTIPLE TIMES. TOOK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THEY ADVISED ME THE ENGINE COULD BE REPLACED BUT FIRST I NEED TO CHANGE THE OIL WITH JEEP AND RETURN 1K MILES LATER AFTER OIL CHANGE. SO FAR AT 10,800 MILES NO PROBLEM BUT THE JEEP SERVICE ADVISER SAID THAT IF IT HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES THE ENGINE MORE THAN LIKELY WILL BE SWAPPED OUT. THIS SHOULD BE A NATIONWIDE RECALL FOR THIS ENGINE, CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ENGINE STALLING ON THE FREEWAY AND SHUTTING OFF IN A TURN!! WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALER THERE WAS A 2019 JEEP COMPASS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE ENGINE WAS BEING REPLACED. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STARTED STALLING AND WON'T GO SPEED OVER 20 MILES JEEP WAS BRAND NEW WITH ABOUT 45 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.DEALERSHIP TRIED FIXING SOMETHING TO DO WITH STORED DTC-PO6ODD ENGINE OIL PRESSURE STUCK.ON RETURN DID THE SAME THING.NOW GOING BACK TO THE DEALER.BOTH TIMES JEEP WAS ON 59 SOUTH FWY.POTENTIALLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

VEH. STALLS WHILE DRIVING , WENT BACK TO DEALER 2TIMES THEY SAY IT'S FINE. THIS IS ON SAFE AS IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING, THEY TELL ME THAT THE DASH LIGHT IS NOT ON NOW SO WE CAN'T FIX IT

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHEN OIL LEVEL RUNS LOW. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO INDICATOR SHOWING OI LEVEL IS LOW. CAR WAS DRIVEN JUST 3500 MILES FROM DATE OF PURCHASE AND ENGINE HAS A CONFIRMED OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION!

ISSUE STARTED AT 3,500 MILES. WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN A CHIME WOULD GO OFF AND THE BATTERY OR ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE D FOR DRIVE WOULD FLASH ON THE CONSOLE, AND VEHICLE WAS BASICALLY STALLED. TRYING TO ACCELERATE DID NOTHING. HAD TO TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS LOW ON OIL AND CAR WENT INTO SELF-PRESERVATION MODE. HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I HIT 7,500 MILES. DEALER KEPT ADDING OIL EACH TIME. WAS TOLD THIS ENGINE HAD A HARDER THAN NORMAL BREAK IN PERIOD UP TO 7,500 MILES. WAS TOLD TO COME BACK FOR OIL CHANGE IN ANOTHER 5,000 MILES. OIL WAS CHECKED AT 1,000 AND 2,000 MILES AND WAS NOT LOW. AT 4,100 MILES THE ISSUE STARTED AGAIN AND HAPPENED THREE TIMES DRIVING TO WORK AND THEN ONCE GOING TO THE DEALER. THE JEEP IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP.

THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN APPROACHING 3500 MILES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF SPEED RENDERING THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE JEEP WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE NEW JEEP CHEROKEES CONTAINING CERTAIN FIAT MOTORS. THE VEHICLES NOW HAVE A FIAT MOTOR THAT APPARENTLY BURNS THE ENGINES OIL EVERY 3500 MILES & THE SHUT OFF IS A BUILT IN 'SAFETY MECHANISM' TO PREVENT THE MOTOR FROM BURNING OUT DUE TO THE LACK OF OIL. THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT DISCLOSED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RE-START THE ENGINE. TWO TIMES WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WASN'T GOING FAST ENOUGH TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER, SO HAD TO START THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME STARTING ONCE STALLED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OIL WAS LOW, VEHICLE WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE YET. NO WARNINGS OR INDICATOR LIGHTS THAT OIL LEVEL WAS LOW. SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID TO CHECK OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. SAID THIS ENGINE USES A LOT OF OIL. I'M CONCERNED AT PULLING ONTO A BUSY ROAD OR INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVING VEHICLE DIE ON ME AND GETTING HIT.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION-HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON INTERNET. JEEP LITERALLY JUST SHUTS OFF- ALL 2019 JEEP LATITUDES. BATTERY LIGHT GOES ON VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST EVERYTIME YOU START THE JEEP AND TRY TO DRIVE. IT WILL LET ME DRIVE ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL DIE WHEN DEACCELERATING AND LOSE POWER STEERING. AFTER PUTTING IT BACK IN PARK AND LETTING IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WILL USUALLY RESTART BUT IT TAKES ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS FOR IT TO START. I HAVE 5300 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS MONTH TO TRY AND PINPOINT THE ISSUE. DEFINITELY, A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, ONCE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH MY WIFE AND TWO YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. HOPEFULLY, THEY RECTIFY THE ISSUE ON THIS VISIT OR WE WILL BE GETTING RID OF THE CAR AND STEERING CLEAR OF JEEP FROM HERE ON OUT. *BF. *TR

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR HAD 972 MILES ON IT, AND WAS PURCHASED NEW A FEW WEEKS AGO. *DT CONSUMER STATED CAR IS NOT REPAIRED AND THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. UPDATED 11/30/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. I WAS LUCKY IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE SINCE READ THAT OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE DRIVERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE, SOME 3 INCIDENTS. I DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS 3 TIMES. YESTERDAY I TRADED CARS, BOUGHT A DIFFERENT ONE. I'M 77 YEARS OLD AND I'M TOO SCARED TO TAKE A CHANCE ON A CAR THAT DOES THAT.

CAR WILL ABRUPTLY STOP WITH NO WARNING THEN BATTERY LIGHT WILL TURN ON. CANNOT ALWAYS GET CAR TO CRANK BACK OVER QUICKLY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR, IN THE FAST LANE TRAVELING AT 70 MPHS, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT WAS LEFT COSTING AND SLOWING IN SPEED. NO STEERING OR BREAKING WERE EFFECTED. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE THE THE ENGINE DID RESTART WHILE IN LOW SPEED (30MPH) AND CREEPING ALONG THE BREAK DOWN LANE THE ENGINE WAS 3RPMS AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. NEEDING TOWING AND IS CURRENTLY IN FOR REPAIR. 1900 MILES TO THE VEHICLE.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH ABOUT 2000 MILES ON IT SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH TWICE NOW. AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND A FEW TRIES AT RESTARTING THE CAR RAN OK. THIS OCCURRED ON 10/17/18 AND 10/19/18 WITHIN A HALF MILE FROM HOME AFTER STARTING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING. WEATHER CONDITION WAS APPROXIMATELY 70 AND SUNNY AFTER OVERNIGHT TEMPS OF ONLY LOW 60'S. LOOKING ONLINE AT COMPLAINTS, THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH NO REAL REMEDY FROM DEALERSHIPS. I TOO HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND HOPE THEY FIND A ISSUE THAT CAN BE FIXED.

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL. THERE ARE NO LEAKS ANYWHERE ON THE ENGINE COMPONENTS OR ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I HAVE ALWAYS CHECKED MY OIL FAITHFULLY ON ALL MY VEHICLES AS I GO OUT OF TOWN ONCE A MONTH. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE FLUID LEVELS. THE OIL LEVEL WAS HALF WAY BETWEEN THE HASH MARKS ON THE DIP STICK. WITHIN A MONTH AND A HALF I NOTICED A DECREASE IN THE OIL LEVEL. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 5 MONTHS AND THE OIL LEVEL IS BARELY ABOVE WHERE THE HASH MARKS START. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I REPORTED THIS WHEN THEY REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY DUE TO ANOTHER ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THE OIL IS WITHIN THE HASH MARKS AND IT IS FINE. IT IS NOT FINE WHEN A NEW VEHICLE IS BURNING THIS MUCH OIL. I HAVE READ REPORTS OF THE VEHICLE STALLING BEING LOW ON OIL. I CANNOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO ME GOING OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED AGAIN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT DOCUMENT ANYTHING WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME. *DT UPDATED 12/11/18*JB

CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE PROMPTS TO 'RESTART' WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. BATTERY LIGHT FLASHES, VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED OFF, PUT IN PARK, AND RESTARTED. TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS FOR STARTER TO REINGAGE AND START THE ENGINE.

MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS SUV IS BRAND NEW, ONLY 250 MILES ON IT. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, BEGAN DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START. SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES CAME UP ON MY DISPLAY SUCH AS, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE POWER STEERING, SERVICE PARKING BRAKE, SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL ETC. THE CAR NEVER RESTARTED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING ON TO A BUSY ROAD. MY DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *DT UPDATED 10/18/18*JB UPDATED 11/1/18 *DT CONSUMER STATED THE CAR HAS BEEN AT FOSS MOTORS IN EXETER NH SINCE 9/14, THEY HAVE UNABLE TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED A FRAYED WIRE WHICH THEY BELIEVED FRIED THE POWER CONTROL MODULE CHIP. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED ON 9/21/ AND I EXPECTED THE CAR BACK ON 9/24 BUT WHEN THEY BACKED IT OUT OF THE SERVICE BAY IT WASN'T RUNNING PROPERLY. THEY REACHED OUT TO SENIOR TECHNIANS ADVISED THEM TO REPLACE THE POWER CONTROL MODULE AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED SOME THROTTLE PART. THEY CALLED ON 10/8 TO SAY THERE WERE STILL PROBLEMS. AS OF TODAY,THEY HAVE AGREED TO BUY THE CAR BACK AND HAVE STARTED THAT PROCESS. CHRYSLER CORP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS BECAUSE I REACHED OUT TO THEM TO HELP FACILITATE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND TO HELP GATHER INFORMATION. UPDATED 11/02/18 *JB
