On 06/11/18 I purchased a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus 4x4. On 06/21/18 I noticed the rear passenger taillight was allowing moisture in it resulting in condensation to build up inside the taillight. (Replaced under warranty on 08/22/18) on 07/08/18 - 07/09/18 - 07/10/18 I ran into an issue with the transmission shifting hard and then displaying a message on the dash that stated “service transmission, restart in park at zero speed” forcing me to coast to a stop and place the vehicle in park and restart it in order to have the transmission work again. (Diagnosed on 07/11/18 and valve body solenoid learn and performed quick learn under warranty) On 07/15/18 AppleCar Play wouldn’t launch on either my iPhone X or my partners iPhone 8 both operating iOS 11.4.1, the USB ports wouldn’t recognize either phones being plugged into them and then the transmission shifted hard while driving between 65mph-55mph to Cumberland, MD from Pittsburgh, PA through the Laurel Highlands. On 07/20/18 the radio went into theft lock mode while driving asking for a 4 digit pin and then the transmission wouldn’t upshift or downshift properly resulting in a message again flashing on the dash stating “service transmission, restart in park with vehicle at zero speed”. On 07/25/18 the vehicle bucked me hard into an interaction upon taking off from a stop light to the point where I put the vehicle in park and got out to check for damage bc I thought the driver behind me had rear ended me. On 08/02/18 the radio went black for about 3-4 minutes while driving then ran through its startup / loading screen as if I had just gotten into the vehicle and started it. On 08/03/18 the radio froze while driving displaying “please wait.....” in red in the middle of the screen and wouldn’t allow you to select anything on the screen. On 08/04/18 the radio randomly started making its own selections on the screen as if you were touching the menus and selecting things. The vehicle also shifted hard while slowing down around 35-45mph. On 08/07/18 the radio restarted itself after driving for about 10 minutes after its rebooted itself it again started selecting menus as if someone was touching the screen and making the selections. On 08/11/18 the vehicle again had transmission issues. When the cruise was set at 65 mph on a flat area of open road it rev’d up to 4,000 RPM and stayed that way for about 1 minute. It again hard shifted when taking off from a stop at an intersection. (On 08/15/18 the rear drivers side taillight began to allow water into the taillight resulting in a buildup of condensation. (Replaced under warranty on 08/22/18) 08/17/18 radio again restarted itself while driving and coming to a stop at a stop light. (finally got this on video occurring and a replacement radio is on order due to the radio not accepting an update that is available and the dealership feeling it’s an issue with the unit) 08/18/18 transmission shifted hard twice while driving up an incline on Donahue Rd driving between 45mph-50mph on my way from Latrobe, PA to Pittsburgh, PA. On 08/18/18 the drivers seatbelt became difficult to latch into the buckle and the dashboard would not recognize when the seatbelt wasn’t clipped in resulting in no warning message / light to display on the dash. (defective buckle replaced under warranty on 08/22/18) 08/22/18 Dealership takes measurement of oil due to concern of oil consumption and orders a replacement engine due to oil loss / consumption. An appointment is schedule for a new engine to be put in on 09/05/18 along with another leaking taillight to be replaced, radio to be replaced and the transmission to be looked at again. I am beyond frustrated with this experience and am asking that Jeep give me a replacement vehicle due to the effect the service history, engine replacement and not getting a resolution / proper diagnosis for this transmission yet will have on the resale of my vehicle down the road. I have all documents from my service visits as well as videos and pictures of things when they occurred and it was safe to take / record the issue/concern. This was my first brand new vehicle purchase and now I am questioning whether it was the right decision. PLEASE JEEP HELP ME! #Jeep #Cherokee #FCA

Update: I’m adding two stars over the longer term at 24,000 miles. What is apparent to me was the dealer’s service department damaged the vehicle while trying to repair it. I have since switched dealers/service department to another Jeep dealer. Since then all has been well. Also, Chrysler seemed ill equipped, originally, to provide replacement parts even under warranty. I do not know if that has improved. Well while getting two recalls services at the same time a third issue blew up as I was leaving Dewey Jeep in Ankeny, IA. Low and behold the engine warning light and the automatic engine kill at stop (for extra gas mileage) cam on. The SUV jerked forward and I knew there was a problem. Turns out the fuel injector wiring was somehow abraded. I'm wondering if this happened during the recall service. I'm wondering how they could have driven the SUV and not have noticed the warning lights/icons as well as the stalling out of the SUV?

Car Review So I’m gonna break this down into category’s. But here’s a little background info.. I bought the car August of 2018 so I’ve owned the vehicle for roughly 7 months now. Currently I’m at 16,500 miles and will probably be around 33,000 by the end of the year. ( I commute to about 30 miles one way to work so roughly 300 miles a week. Gas Proficiency - I would say when I first got the car I was commuting so the gas mileage was horrible but now that I commute I can easily get 378 miles worth of gas each week. - I usually only fill up once a week and it cost me about $30-$35 a week (when the tank is close to empty ) Comfort - this car is so comfortable ! It makes commuting a breeze! Performance wise: 1. This is the first new car I’ve owned, I used to own a 2005 Jeep Liberty. So compared to the liberty this Cherokee is BEYOND better. 2. My mother owns a 2009 Grand Cherokee Limited with a V8 engine and I still think the 2009 accelerates better than the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. (Then again it is a grand Cherokee and it’s a v8) Basically what I’m trying to say is that you would think a car that is 10 years newer would accelerate better. Also highway wise once you tap the gas it accelerate pretty nice. The problem is when your doing errands around town, the car can be so slow especially when you have to stop frequently for traffic lights. 3. Since I’ve had the vehicle the infotainment screen has blacked out 3 times. I took it to the dealer and they ran some test and rebooted it. Since then it’s restarted once while driving Brakes 1. When I first got the car the brakes were fabulous lol. 7 months after they’re still pretty good but I’ll probably get new brake pads before the summer. It just takes a little longer to brake Transmission 1. It shifts too hard sometimes and it’s annoying because you’ll think something is falling from the car Start stop feature 1. That [non-permissible content removed] is annoying. The car doesn’t accelerate as quickly as it would if the start stop feature was disabled. Fun fact: you can turn it off permanently. You have to click the button every time you get in the car ( it’s second nature to me now) Cabin noise 1. Loud, the engine is loud inside but outside it’s quiet as a whistle Speakers 1. Love them! I’m glad you can adjust the base and the all that Jazz Different Driving Modes 1. Sport - I’ve only tested it a few times and the car does accelerate better but it’ll drain your gas like no tomorrow 2. Snow- I LOVE the snow feature , we recently had a bad snow storm and it was plowing through the snow with ease. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FULL TANK..this burns so much gas 3. Sand- haven’t tried it Overall- I give the car a B. Only because I’m biased about repairs but I mean after owning the car for 7 months I think that needing new brakes and other maintenance is pretty standard, especially with the mileage I’ve already accumulated.

Beware of 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited

Bought a 2019 Jeep Cherokee a few weeks ago. Within 78 hours of owning the car, I went to start it up and the the car made a stalling noise. I tried to jump it and was unsuccessful. The next morning I made another attempt to start the car and it started up fine... two days later same thing happens.... I go to start the car to leave for work and the car stalls. After 15 minutes of yelling and cursing, the car finally starts up. I went to the dealership to tell them about the stalling problems and they hooked it up to a computer. They told me the “computer” showed no issues. They kicked me loose without doing a thorough inspection of the problem. So I continued to drive it thinking I will have to record the issue with my phone next time it happens. Well, last night I was driving on a busy road and stopped at a stop light (with only 400 miles on the ODO). The light turned green and when I stepped on the gas, the engine stalled again. I literally almost got killed as approaching vehicles nearly rear ended me. Brought it to the dealership next morning where the car didn’t start for them... Went online and googled 2019 Jeep Cherokee stalling problems and saw a tremendous number of links to bad reviews from people experiencing similiar or identical issues with the car stalling. The company needs to do a recall on this car before they face a lawsuit. Be cognizant of this issue before you drop 30-40 grand on a new Jeep Cherokee, and heed the reviews online.
