My vehicle, had had issues with the brakes even after repairing (changing them) a horrible grinding and squeaking. The shifter reads "Service shifter soon" how does one even do this. The car jolts forward, or stalls in the middle of traffic, when I press the gas, when I brake sometimes it does not register, I have had the fuel sensor repaired and its still says its not working. I am going to be hit one day on account of this vehicle. I have taken it in to the dealership when these problems started with the auto start and stop censor going off. The windshield wiper line is kinked and I have taken this in multiple times for them to tell me nothing is wrong, and they do not service. Jeep brand is going to kill me due to its unsafe traveling. I have asked called and wrote in and no one will help me.

Failure Date: 03/06/2023 and before this date. The stereo was replaced and it had two recalls and my car vin was one recalled the recall was fixed but it’s been two years so the warranty out but same issue that was never fixed. I purchased my Jeep in 10/2018 and I have reported numerous times that my car stalls while driving on freeway or street I was told it was because it’s low on oil But all my warning lights come on and then the emergency brake comes on the the jeep stops and car won’t start. I took it to the local dealership in March and the technician did not find anything wrong. They replaced battery and the same day I got it back the car died.The problem still persists they had my car for two weeks, I got the car back on April 11, 2023 and April 12,2023 stalled again and lights come on and off. My lights or windshield wipers turns off and on by itself while parked, the techs say they can’t find anything wrong.Most recently since my vehicle has been stalling out while driving and the sterring wheel is locking up and the battery light comes on. This issue is now becoming very consistent and happening every day. The vehicle has stalled out on me in the past week numerous times in traffic. My engine light is on, auto start and stop system is unavailable and electronic stability control system is offline. I have report the development to my local dealership and they cannot correct the problem.This is a major problem and based on the research that I have done, alot of the Jeep Cherokees have this issue. This jeep is VERY UNSAFE AND IM AFRAID I WILL GET HIT IN THE BACK. Please explain to me how a jeep dealership can’t fix my car? My car is a lemon that I paid 26,000 dollars for

Warning lights for multiple electric systems including Blind spot monitoring, throttle control, stability control, and transmission all came on at the same time. Windshield wipers turned on on their own, car started behaving like it was neutral when in drive (would rev instead of accelerate when pressing gas pedal). After pulling over and turning the car off, car would not restart, brake pedal would not engage to attempt restart. Left stranded on side of road. Vehicle just crossed 37k miles.

It started raining yesterday and when the wipers were turned on the drivers side went across like someone bent it ripped it off. We stopped at a gas station to fix it long enough to get to a oreillys and had the blades replaced. Luckily it stopped raining and we made it home safely. Problem today is that the issue is still there and we can't get the vehicle looked at until wednesday. Praying that it will get fixed without any other issues. We only have 26k miles even though it was used from carmax it appeared to be it decent condition. I never expected anything like that to happen and I am glad we did not have an accident.

Visibility distorted in rainy conditions due to insufficient windshield wipers and or coating on glass. Visibility directly in front of me when driving gets distorted with minimal rainfall causing a dangerous driving condition. Using no windshield wipers is better than having them on. Issue occurred since date of delivery (11/30/2018) and became more noticeable recently due to weather changes. Issue occurs both when in motion or stand still on all road types.

The problem is a smudge on the drivers side at eye level when the wipers returned to the original position. We replaced the wipers first with the most expensive we could find and that did not fix the issue so that is when the dealership benny boyd of lampasis replaced the windshield under warranty. This did not fix the problem but it did became worse with the new windshield and now there were streaks, so we brought it back and they replaced the expensive wipers with oem wipers and still it did the same. We were advised by our service manager christopher weir to call chrysler @ 800‑992‑1997 and start a star case, the case number is or was 58366091. The case opened and supposedly looked into by some engineers per the conversation of the case manager @ chrysler. The response we received back from the case manger was that it was the characteristic for this vehicle????? I am providing a url for the jeep forum with other customers with the same complaint.

The vehicle's infotainment system started to intensly malfunction while the vehicle was stationary. Multiple functions started to malfunction simultaneously including the radio, air conditioning, and windshield wipers. The infotainment system would also randomly turn off and turn back on. After turning the vehicle off to see if that would fix the problem, the vehicle continued to experience multiple malfunctions. The vehicle then started to move and the same issues were still occuring. This incident happened on a city street and a highway.
