Takara recall when car is beginning to accelerate, the car jerks and stalls . Sometimes you can feel the jerk throughout the entire car. Especially when stopped at a red light. When you start to accelerate the car you can see the RPM go from 1 to 3 immediately. Then a complete jerk of the vehicle. Have taken vehicle to dealership. Chrysler has ran codes to try to determine the problem. It comes back as nothing is wrong. I have read over thousands of reviews online about this exact same issue and no one knows exactly what is going on. This is a safety issue.
2019 Jeep Cherokee transmission complaints
Page 28 of 29: complaints 791 to 820 of 840, newest first, as owners wrote them.
In motion. Problem with vehicle, any speed, especially cruise control on. Speed set at [ex) 25 MPH, traveling decline jeep downshifts from 6th. Gear to 3rd. Gear. Rpm jumps to 4200 from 1500 RPM. Engine starts racing as turbo kicks in. Transmission up shifts to higher gears. Rpm stays high, vehicle doubles its speed. Occurs any speed. Any hill. On interstate with grades. No matter what roadway or surface. Did this the first day we bought it. My wife didn't tell me it continued. I found still occurred when I took for 3000 mile service. She said she just avoided cruise control. It will do this on a grade also if cruise is off. Longer grades. At the 3000 mile service I informed dealer dutch miller and called fca jeep I registered a case #.that day in june. Dealership didn't follow through with jeep, or visa versa. Jeep couldn't reach us for phones were out for 3 weeks due to storms. Jeep suspended. I called jeep csm last week. They wanted another tech review. The june service review included taking a brand new identical jeep limited 2.0 turbo and simulate. It was worse than ours. It actually red lined RPM on grade of rt 119 at oakwood interstate 64 access dealership agreed a problem. No known repair. Computer software or engineering update required by jeep. Dealer did not report to jeep csm on first service call. Due to length of time, we needed to repeat. Took in again 07/18/2019. Service writer just typed part observation of first visit. I contacted jeep to be sure they were aware. Jeep case mgr. Contacted billy at dear who knew nothing of issue and stated he thought it did what the other jeeps did. Case mgr. Told me I could take to another dealer for a different case mgr. I emphasized this is a dangerous condition. Michael didn't want to be concerned with issue, it is dangerous, and I was reporting. Svc. Mgr.said he had spoken to michael,in the hour I have video.
Vehicle hesitates when accelerating, causing a lag in motion. Have had issues where lack of acceleration has placed my wife and I into a dangerous situation of being in an accident, like when trying to merge in traffic. This has been happening since my wife bought the vehicle in november, 2018. Took in to the jeep dealer in colorado springs and was told that nothing could be done until jeep decides to issue a software update. Have seen similar complaints (hundreds of them) posted on the federal safety agency and carcomplaints.com . Chrysler/jeep needs to address this problem before someone is injured or killed.
New car, 2 weeks old with 800 miles will not hold speed with cruise control while going down hill. In fact , the car actually accelerates with engine. This happens at all speeds. Dealers and factory says "it is a characteristic of all 9 speed transmissions". It is a dangerous situation. In another transmission related issues, the car makes a loud clunk when driving between 30-50 MPH on a flat road when lightly putting foot on accelerator. It is so loud and hard you can hear and feel it over the radio. Again we are told this "is a characteristic of the 9 speed transmissions"! Unacceptable! A class-action lawsuit needs to filed against the manufacturer.
At around 1200 RPM and at about 30-40 MPH, coming off the accelerator and then back on it results in a clunk type noise. It appears to be coming from the transmission. At times it is a slight noise, at other times it is quite loud. After 2 visits to the dealer and rising to level 2 at jeeps customer service no one can offer a fix. Jeep customer service says the transmission will self calibrate and the noise will go away. Almost 2000 miles on the vehicle and it hasn't self calibrated yet.
The automatic transmission shifting at low speeds constantly hesitates and freezes when trying to accelerate. Most often after stoping. The resultant delay in shifting often occurs when pulling into traffic and is particularly bad when accelerating from a stop up a hill. As a natural reaction to the effect of a stall while trying to accelerate the pedal is depressed further. When the transmission finally decides to downshift it results in a rough jerking of forward acceleration and high RPM acceleration. This behavior happens every time the vehicle is driven. The transmission has been faulty since the day the car was delivered new with 20 miles. The dealer claims there is no solution until the manufacturer issues a computer software fix.
Vehicle bought with about 14 miles on it. At about 200 miles a noise appeared when coasting and applying light pressure on the gas. The noise has become louder and more noticeable to the point where you can feel the noise in your feet. One a few occasions, the traction control light came on, the noise became louder and happened for a longer period of time. Dealer can't find an issue but refuse to tell me if it is safe to drive. Dealer took a different vehicle (exactly the same) and found the noise is happening in that vehicle as well. Pretty sure the issue is in the drivetrain. Dealer reported the problem to fca star engineering but there is "no fix at this point". It was found that there have been numerous complaints on this same issue for almost a year. This vehicle only has 1900 miles on it...
Started out when going over a bump slow you heard a grinding noise, now when it shifts into first at a stop the transmission has a clicking noise and also surges and shifts hard.
Driving approximately 30-40 MPH when slowing down to approximately 10-15 MPH to yield for oncoming traffic or a red light the vehicle will have a delayed response to any acceleration input causing a dangerous situation (ie. If trying to take off in front of another vehicle due to space but realize they are traveling much faster than anticipated you are unable to get out of the way due to car not responding to pedal input immediately).
After an intersection stop and starting to accelerate during a right turn and car in motion, the car engine stalled. The dashboard showed 0 RPM and just the battery indicator on. Park over the road shoulders, I could start the engine again after 2 attempts. This has happened 3 times as of now, 2 times last week (may 10 and may 11 2019). Went to the jeep dealer in pineville, charlotte, nc. They suppose executed the work order for the safety recall u86 (the federal safety agency recall number 18v‑523) on may 11. But today (may 13 2019) the car did exactly the same in the same intersection like the first time. Car has only 4,250 miles. Consumer stated I went to the dealership as I saw "oil pressure" error message on the dashboard and noticed abnormal low engine oil level, having just 4,000 miles. During the recall service, they suppose checked all levels including the most important one: engine oil. So, after a oil change and oil level replenishment, the jeep cherokee is working well since then. Consumer took the vehicle to another dealer to get oil change.
As of may 5th experienced a safety risk with this jeep and it's 9 speed transmission. On the expressway and tried to merge to another expressway and vehicle failed to downshift or accelerate when attempting to merge. This was also accompanied with excessive gear hunting along with hard shifts and long/high RPM shifts. Not to mention it will lunge or try to overpower the brakes when at a stop light. Will be going to the shop for the 4th time for same issue. The problem is, it is random and never know what it will do next. This vehicle is a safety risk!
Jeep has 6664 miles on it and airbag service light came on and says that airbag needs serviced. At first the light would come on and then turn back off however, now the light is on and remains on. Next complaint is that after slowing vehicle down and beginning to accelerate again, the jeep seems to not want to accelerate normally...it is hesitant and then suddenly picks up speed. 3rd complaint. While sitting at a light or stop sign it feels like the engine is pulling against the brake (as if you were trying to accelerate and brake at same time) in a "lunging" manner.
3rd time now vehicle in the shop for same, vehicle lunges against the brakes while at a stop like at a traffic light or pulled into garage. There is also notable clunking while depressing the accelerator (last time in shop was told it was a motor mount). Fca customer care had been in communication with me but once reported the problem again there has not been any replies. Vehicle was purchased sept 2018 and mileage is currently 2186 (yes, 2186). Almost 200 miles and roughly 2 weeks since last visit.
I was approaching a traffic circle and had to yield. I never came to a complete stop, but was traveling around 5mph. I pressed on the accelerator to continue on the circleand my car stalled. I was almost side swiped due to my vehicle entering the circle and not accelerating for approximately 10 seconds. This has happened on several occasions when coming to a yield area. My county has over 150 traffic circles with yield signs. This will be dangerous with this happening frequently. I am marking this as occuring 4/11/19 because it was very bad that occasion. It made me think of the times it hasn't been as noticeable in the past though.
The vehicle keeps stalling without warning recal#ua9/the federal safety agency 18v‑739 the dealer had the car to fix the recall. The car still does the same thing as it did before recal. It has been in 6-8 times for this problem. Dealer installed a data recorder and it did not record an event twice. It happens on the hiway, the street and in front of the house when going into driveway;
2nd report for trans issues now. Reprogramming from dealership did not work from 1st try at repair. And had to replace motor mount due to trans issue. Car tries to lunge when stopped at traffic light. Downshifts and stays while on expressway, have to slow down then speed back up to correct. When reversing, come to a stop then switch to drive the vehicle "slams" into gear. Now the motor mount is clunking again. Again this is 2nd time for same issues in 6 months or 1966 miles of ownership.
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 jeep cherokee. While driving, the vehicle lost power without warning. The contact shifted into neutral and the vehicle restarted. The instrument panel indicators flashed as the contact drove home. The following day, the vehicle was started, but then shut off and failed to restart. The contact called the manufacturer and had the vehicle towed to fairfield chrysler dodge jeep ram (1409 montour blvd, danville, pa 17821, (570) 275-3300). The dealer diagnosed that the ABS unit needed to be replaced. After two weeks, the contact drove the vehicle and it stalled two miles later. All the instrument panel indicators illuminated again. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and barely made it home. The vehicle was towed again to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was a loose wire. The vehicle was currently at the dealer. The contact wants to return the vehicle and stated that it was unsafe to drive. The failure mileage was 13.
The car will stall in the middle of road with no warning. It happens most often when going up a slight hill and making a left hand turn. Dealer says it is low on oil pressure(the car is 5 months old and they say it was 2.5 quarts low on oil!!) and a safety switch shuts down the engine in the middle of road/traffic!! I call this "safety feature" to protect the engine a"danger switch" that endangers traffic. I believe this is a major safety issue for all traffic because these jeeps are stalling in the middle of traffic. I have a 45 second video that shows the stall. Please help get this problem solved!! *dt
While I am in movement driving my vehicle. Without any warning lights popping up in my dashboard. My vehicle suddenly stops. It has happened to me while I was driving in the highway and a semi truck was driving behind me. I hit my brakes fast enough so that the semi truck could react in time, but otherwise I could it have gotten impacted from the back which I am sure. It would it have cause more than just and accident. The date this happened I noticed the car kind of slowed down its velocity fast and dramatically when it stop. It was still running, no smoke or anything coming out of the hood. I did noticed that the heater felt extremely hot more than normal which it also made me panic a bit. She shift gear I wasn't able yo move it at all. They had advised me at the dealership one of the mechanics that sometimes, if this happened; to turn the car off for 10 mins and then turn it back on. I did that, that night and when the car turn back of the stability ligh warning came on, the brakes light came on, the engine ligh came on, the emergency parking light came on, but this this I was was able to move the shift stick but I could only drive forward. I tried to reverse and go back but it wasn't letting me. My sensors were beeping as if I was near or close to hitting something. When my car was the only one in the highway. One of the things that I noticed while seating in my car. This normally happens to my SUV when it's very cold outside. We are talking -4 degrees, but I am surprised because this is a 2019 vehicle that I have and I have only had it for 5 months. I have taken it in for service 4 tmes and they supposedly fix the issue but now it has happened again and I don't feel safe in that vehicle. A vehicle that stops out of nowhere, definitely not safe. I am not only putting myself in danger, but I feel like I am putting everyone around me driving in danger.
I've only had this vehicle 2 months.....came to a stop at a traffic light, when to take off the vehicle died. Would not restart, could not get the vehicle out of drive, finally get it out of drive, vehicle still won't restart. Finally restarts, then dies again, restart, dies again, finally get it to start start/stop light is on for service. Turn start/stop off, drive to safe place, turn vehicle off, light goes off, vehicle doesn't act up again at this point because I have turned the start/stop off. At dealership for over a week now, they "claim" they can not get it to reproduce the issue. I'm reading online lots of issues like this, why aren't these vehicles being recalled or pulled off the road. Someone is gonna get killed!
I leaned my 2019 jeep cherokee back in september 2018. A week after leasing it I was slowing down to come to a stop sign and it beeped at me and all the power shut off in the jeep. I tried to hit the start button nothing. I put it in park after fighting with it to go into park and tried the start button again. Nothing. So I waited 2 minutes and tried again it turned back on and was fine for the rest of the drive. January 24 2019 I was pulling out of the parking garage at work and after 4 minutes of it being on it shut off mid driving. Same thing happened it beeped and all power shut off. I put it in park and hit the start button. Nothing. Waiting 2 minutes tried again turned on made it all the way home. Also when I turn either way it beeps as of a door is open. No door is open check repeatedly. When I go over a speed bump it sounds like something is grinding in the back end I have to come to a complete stop and start again after the bump or the jeep will not move. The radio will randomly make a very loud static noise that is ear piercing for a second the it will be fine or it will restart the radio it's different everytime it happens.
My 2019 jeep cherokee loses power and will not accelerate. The first time it happened there was only 2400 miles on it. It slowed by itself and when the gas was pressed it just kept slowing and the rpms revved to 5000 and it would not go anywhere. Had to put in park and then back in drive and it only crept at 15mph until I got home. Towed it to dealer and could not duplicate. Ran fine for awhile. Now there is 3300 miles and it is doing it again. This time it stalled and a light said could not shift. It was in the automatic mode not manual shift. Lost brakes and steering and drifted into my yard. Came to a stop close to my house. Waited a few hours and it ran fine. A day later I was making a left turn and it stopped in the next lane. I hit the gas and nothing then it took off like a rabbit jumping and pulsing. I almost got hit by a dually with a cow trailer. Got home and parked it. Called dealer and they stated to have it towed and would look at it in a few days. I called jeep to have it towed and they refused saying that I could not go to the dealer where I bought it but had to go to the one a few miles from my house. I ended up using my personal car insurance to have it towed. The difference in miles was 6. Why would they not tow it another 6 miles? It should be customer preference within reason. No duplication at dealer. Went to work and it ran fine. It only seems to do it in the rain or if it is wet. However today it was raining and it ran fine. It is frustrating since the dealer can not duplicate. Why did I buy a car that I am scared of driving? A new car should be safe and reliable. I cannot travel to my doctor who is 5 hours away. I am afraid to go around the corner. I never know if I am going to stall or lose power. It is dangerous and uncalled for. Something needs to be done. I will not own another jeep product. $34000 for a crap car.
My jeep has 8300 miles on it and I was driving 45 MPH and a warning came on the info screen as well as a ding sound, shifter service? I looked and all the lights were lit on the shifter (dnr =-) I drove it to the dealer and they had me turn it off and then back on and it went away and setup appointment for the next morning to do a update? Well that was done and they said it still needed replaced(shifter) waiting on parts, was told it was safe to drive. 3 times now once while backing it did it again, the other 2 times I was driving on level pavement. I am worried about the fact this is a switch controlled not a shifter with mech device that changes gears. Is it safe to drive??
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 jeep cherokee. While driving at low speeds, the vehicle stalled and restarted and all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact mentioned that when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle revved, but did not accelerate. The contact also mentioned that the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was currently at akins ford (220 w may st, winder, ga 30680, (770) 867-9136) for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,000.
Vehicle stalls when driving at any speed. Extremely dangerous. *dt
Brand new jeep cherokee latitude plus 4x4 v6 9 speed,3,100 miles. The cherokee has a grinding noise going over speed bumps in the back of the car. Sounds like gears aren't meshing properly. I have to turn off the traction control every time I go over a speed bump to correct the issue. Rpms get super high before the jeep decides to change gears and kick up. The other issue is the car lurches forward when I brake coming to a stop. Not always but enough to make me weary in parking lots. Mostly drive in the city.
This reports documents a second instance of power failure. On friday, jan 4 faii was driving on interstate hwy 287. The dashboard went dark at first and then started flickering. Car then stalled while driving. The gas pedal no longer worked. The power steering failed. I coasted to the shoulder. When in park the dashboard came back on with battery, engine light, and p with circle and exclamation mark. A message came on display to service transmission. I had to be towed to the car dealership. At the dealership I was told the repair work wouldn't start until monday. On monday afternoon, I was told the battery connection was poor and they ordered a part. I also received a recall email that states the transmission needs to be fixed. I feel this vehicle is life threatening at this point. Many cherokees have received 5 recalls and I only have one. Please look into the cherokee limited 4 x 4.
This is the third time we have had an issue with my wife's jeep. 2019 jeep cherokee limited. First issue was just over a thousand miles, spent almost a month in the garage. Going down the interstate at high speeds the car shuts down and you lose all power steering, the brake pedal gets hard, etc. You lose all lights in the dash, all power going up hills, have to stop completely and restart in order to go anywhere. Serious safety issue as reported to jeep multiple times now and they have said is fixed. We have requested they swap out our vehicle with another new jeep and they refused. This is a serious serious safety issue where the ability to safely drive the car abruptly stops while you are driving. Power steering completely shuts down as does the car transmission making it so you can go nowhere. We have been almost wiped out by a semi truck on the interstate, this is after their third attempt at fixing the vehicle and saying it is fixed. And safe. We have requested time after time for them to give us a new jeep and they refused because they don't want to dish out the money or whatever the case is. This vehicle can lose power steering and the transmission can go into neutral at any time while driving down the road causing you to be left with a very unsafe vehicle at highway speeds and potentially unable to steer the vehicle. It is a miracle that my wife who was 40 weeks pregnant at the time was able to put all her muscle into the car and steer it away from going over a cliff the first time when it died. The second time we were on the interstate on the way to a doctor's appointment. Third time was today on the interstate again.
Car stalled and lights on dashboard flashed when stopped at intersection
When coming to a stop or already stopped (like at a traffic light) while in drive, when vehicle will randomly "lurch". The engine will very quickly rev and attempt to overpower the brakes. This appears to happen more often if auto start/stop is disabled. There is also clunking that has been progressively getting worse coming from transmission area. The mileage of the vehicle is only at 1,052 miles and is currently at the dealership.
