While making a turn, the vehicle lost power in the brakes, accelerator and steering wheel. Everything locked up while I was going upwards of 25mph. I was able to coast to the side of the road, but completely lost the ability to control my vehicle. The car would not function until I turned it off and tried to restart it a few times taking a couple of minutes. This happened once on the 14th of March and once on the 15th of March. I was told by the Jeep dealership that they are aware of the issue and have told people to make sure to check their oil. I was told the dipstick does not reach the bottom of the oil pan and only goes down about halfway (3 of the 6 total quarts the pan holds). When the dipstick does not "feel" oil the entire car essentially shuts down and locks up in order to "protect the engine" causing the driver to lose all ability to control it. They might be protecting the engine from burning oil, but to lose functionality puts my life in danger. Jeep/Chrysler have had this reported before as I found numerous cases of the same story. However, they refuse to do anything about it. I could have been in a very serious accident if I was going faster than 27mph or if I was not in an area that I was able to coast to the side of the road. I was not told any of this information when I purchased the car

My Jeep Cherokee limited 2016's engine will shut off mid drive. This has happened to me three times while on the road for the past 4 months or so. I fear for my safety and that of my family and friends or whomever may be with me in my vehicle when this happens. The issue begins with the dash starting to flicker, the ac and radio will shut off, any actively enabled functions will shut off/disable (lane sense, cruise control, auto start/stop), two times out of the three, the vehicle engine shuts off seconds after, causing the greatest risk to safety since the vehicle is essentially cruising with no power whatsoever at an average of 70mph (mostly drive on freeways/highways), forcing me to pull over on the side of the road/shoulder in order to break to a full stop, place the vehicle on park and then restart the vehicle in order to get back on the road. I believe Jeep had issued a recall for this exact issue if I'm not mistaken (safety recall U63). I have taken my Jeep to a local dealership to get this issue fixed. I received the assessment from the dealership saying that the recall issue was fixed. A week after I went to the dealership the issue happened again, the check engine light came on but turned off after so by the time I took it to the dealership again, they "couldn't help me" since the check engine light was not on at the time. I also did not have a way to prove that this issue was happening still to my vehicle so I left disappointed and sure it would happen again at some point. As of today 28 March 2019 the issue happened again yesterday on the way to work around 0836am, luckily I was able to record a video of it as it was happening that I would be happy to share, the vehicle did not shut off during the video. I bought this vehicle new, in 2016, from a dealership in wa state.

While we were driving, a message came on the dashboard to service transmission, and then we were not able to accelerate. We pulled over and turned off the car, and then started it back up and we drove fine for about a minute before the same message came up on the dashboard. Again we were not able to accelerate even though the gas pedal was pushed all the way. It wasn't making any noise. We called the dealership and all I was told was to turn it off for about 5 minutes and turn it back on to see if the service light would reset. If not to call a tow truck to take it to the nearest dealership, but since it was Sunday they were all closed. All my family was with me in the car which was very frightening. I followed the dealerships instructions but it did not work. We stop at a stoplight and it didn't want to move forward once the light turned green. We turned off the car and turned it back on and it went again. We were about 45 minutes away from home so we just headed back. The service message never went away and were only able to travel at low speed. I have called fca in the past when a service transmission message popped up on the dashboard but it just flashed and didn't stay. This is a new car and I am very upset it has all these issues.

Takata recall after starting the car and staying stationary starts to shake. While driving shakes even more and has stalled on me while driving with my toddler in car seat in back. Then it did it again 2 more times just glad my son wasn't in the car. Now check engine light lit up today Feb-6-2019. There have been plenty of complaints of these type of issues. My vehicle is under warranty still as it is a lease. I will not be leasing Jeep anymore.

Twice in the past week my Jeep has just stalled while driving, both on 2/1/19 and 2/4/19 I was going around 35-40 mph. I am able to coast the Jeep off the road and then I needed to wait a few minutes before it starts up again. The on board computer system display does not show any problems. Upon research it seems several people have reported the same problem.

Engine stalls and dies without warning while driving. After shutdown a message on the dash tells you to put it into park to start the car again, engine will restart after 2 min but will fail to restart if you try sooner. Very dangerous, this has happened 6 times now while driving. Started at 33K miles and I am now at 42K, 1st time dealer said fill up oil, 2nd time service dept said nothing wrong but updated software, 3rd time service department has never heard of this before and no idea but told me to trade my car in for something else. Very dangerous as has happened on a freeway while moving, each time is without warning and you lose all engine and power.

This is safety concern! 2016 Jeep Cherokee car would stop while you driving high speed without any warning sign and all the light will come on can not shifting or restart the car. It happened on me twice already. One time on highway I-95, one time on a busy local road at pa. Jeep dealership said it was computer updating, I could not get it. After first time they repaired it, I did feel something wired with the car. So I brought it back to Jeep dealership two more time for diagnose. They all said the car had no problem. Not even a month, it happened again. Suddenly stop! this time they still trying to fix it for me, but I could not trust Jeep again. I mean if they can fix it, it would not happened again after three time what ever fix or diagnose.

Our 2016 Jeep Cherokee (latitude 4WD) has been stalling after a cold start. The battery indicator flashes and then registers a message to place the car in P to shift into gear. I have been able to restart the car after waiting 30-60 sec, sometimes while in traffic. The vehicle was at the dealership on 1/14/19 and I was told that there wasn't any oil on the dipstick. The engine is possibly burning oil but there are no indicators or status updates when the system is checked. I was told by the dealership that they are aware of an engine issue with the 2016 Jeep Cherokee. An oil consumption test is needed before the engine can be replaced (if needed). Oil consumption test initiated 1/14/19. Chrysler/Jeep is aware of this issue and has not issued a safety recall. Negligence by Chrysler for not responding to this significant defect and safety issue.

Vehicle shut off while my husband was driving.took vehicle to dealership. Was 3 quarts low. We have been told by the dealership that their hands are tied, that this engine uses about a quart of oil every 1000 miles but the engine is designed to shut off before it would blow engine. My husband told the dealership that if they put an engine in a vehicle that uses oils this way they should let people know. We have talked to Chrysler with nothing other than have an oil consumption test done which we did. We now keep oil and check on a regular basis

About a month ago, my 2016 Jeep started to stall as I was driving the vehicle. The steering wheel locks and the battery sign flashes, then the car tells me to place the car in park. I shut the car off, wait about two minutes then restart the car. Sometimes I will make it to my destination, sometimes it stalls on me again. It's happened too many times, and I scared to drive the car anymore. It has been in a shop for three weeks now, and there is nothing that they can find wrong with the vehicle. They hook it up to a machine, but no error messages are reported to them.

The RPM's on this transmission in this vehicle go up very high but the transmission does not shift into gear. The vehicle sputters and slows on the open road. The engine does run on all cylinders. The engine has no power. This creates a safety risk on a highway. Also the differential locks up when you have to hit the brakes and three rear of the car locks up and skids left of center. Party's of the suspension have broken for no apparent reason. The left rear control arm broke for no apparent reason. I have been informed by a Jeep dealership that this vehicle is unsafe to drive. I have filed complaints with Chrysler on three occasions informing them of the numerous issues with this vehicle. I was advised to get a diagnostic test done and they would work with me to buy this car back. I did as requested and now being informed I will probably have to go to arbitration. Three times now when I applied the brakes hard on a highway the East locked up and the left rear of my car skidded and I had no control. I nearly hit a retaining wall. I have a vehicle that the dealership has deemed unsafe to drive.
