We were driving down the road at about 60MPH and the engine just quite running. With the flow of traffic, I was almost hit in the rear end, but I was able to safely move to the shoulder of the road. The car would not restart and we had it towed to dealer. The dealer informed me it needed a new engine. Upon inspection and removal of the head of the engine, the #3 cylinder piston was melted and had zero compression and the #1 cylinder piston was partially melted and had zero compression as well. All regular maintenance was performed on the vehicle. We have the 2.0l vin N. No warning lights or codes were illuminated or present at the time of or after the incident.

Driving with my children and car started to shake a little when getting on highway, while on car started shaking violently and felt was going to die. I had to drive like that to get to an exit and was able to pull over. Turned the car off and turned back on. And same, then check engine light came on but not flashing. After getting it to a mechanic and the dealer was told my cylinder blew. And the engine is done. Felt that was a safety risk for me to driving with my children like that and now we are without a car. If someone maintains their car and gets regular oil checks then how is it possible for an engine to blow.

As accelerating to pass a vehicle, the car would not accelerate. When it eventually did, it was miss firing and still wouldn-??t accelerate properly. This caused a hindrance to the flow of traffic and eventually lost complete power while on the highway. It was towed to an independent service center and he confirmed there was an issue with the engine, with no obvious fault of the driver. No warning lamps appeared prior to the failure of the engine.

The check engine light is now on and AC has failed as well, vehicle was limped to a dealership.

My Jeep Cherokee stalled as I approached a stop light. I was able to restart.

- Tulsa, OK, USA

I came to a major intersection and the SUV shut completely down. Would not start up. Steering wheel was stuck. Then voltage dropped to 11.7 volts. The battery always reads 13.7 and higher usually. Afttercharge back to 13.7. I was driving for 45 minutes continuously before incident happened.

- Franklin Square, NY, USA

The car will start, drive for a minute or two and then the battery warning light flashes and the car completely stalls out and dies. This has now happened 3 times. Back in I believe January it happened and I replaced the battery, but then was told that the battery I replaced was actually still good (it had only been a year old). It then happened yesterday and then again today. I have taken it into the dealership and it is apparently still related to the oil consumption being way higher then it should be (which I was under the impression was fixed 2 years ago when I took the car in for it stalling out). This car is incredibly unsafe. It is unacceptable that it just turns off in the middle of the road when I am transporting my children. Ridiculous to be stuck with a car that has ongoing issues of this nature. The car is still a thousand miles from being due for a regular oil change and the dealership said it was completely out of oil when they looked today.

Re: Safety Concerns Regarding Jeep Cherokee 2019 Engine Misfire To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to report a significant safety issue regarding my Jeep Cherokee 2019. I bought the car new and have always serviced it in the official dealer. Recently, my vehicle began to misfire while I was driving, which caused me to feel unsafe and concerned for my safety. Upon taking my vehicle to the dealership, I was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer service report showed that the cause of the issue was a P0302 cylinder 2 misfire code, and that the engine was misfiring. Additionally, the report indicated that there was only 75 psi compression on cylinder #2 and 40% cylinder leakage. My car had only slightly exceeded the mileage limit of the manufacturer's warranty, which was for 60,000 miles, at 60,800 miles. However, the warranty did not cover the cost of the engine replacement, which was approximately $13,000. This safety issue is concerning because the engine misfire could cause the vehicle to suddenly stall or lose power, which could result in a serious accident. Additionally, I am disappointed that the warranty did not cover the necessary repairs, and I was left to pay for such a significant expense for a vehicle that is only a few years old. Furthermore, the manufacturer has offered to pay only 50% of the cost of a new engine, which I do not believe is fair or reasonable. I request that the manufacturer reconsider its decision and replace the engine at no cost to me. I urge the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to investigate this safety issue with Jeep Cherokee 2019 engines to ensure that other drivers do not experience the same safety concerns. I believe that it is critical to ensure that vehicles are safe for drivers and passengers to operate. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
