Cherokee Latitude 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,083 miles

We purchased a used 2018 Jeep Cherokee Latitude (< 13,000 miles) from a dealership in Colorado Springs on 10/17. On the way home, about 100 miles, the Stop/Start warning light and Battery light went on about 8 miles from home going approx. 50 MPH. We decided to get it home. At the bottom of the driveway, we placed the car in reverse and noticed that power steering was not working. We turned off the vehicle and at restart, the warning lights were reset. We notified the dealership immediately and they recommended changing out battery. We drove about 15 miles to an auto parts store and bought the best battery they had for that vehicle. We did not use the Jeep for the next day (Friday).

On Saturday 10/19 we drove it down to Denver (about 60 miles) with no problem. On the way home, again the Stop /Start warning light and Battery light went on going approx. 60 MPH. We drove to a parking lot and made a turn into a parking spot. At that point power steering was operable. I placed the car in park and then in reverse and then noticed no power steering, I placed the car in drive and again no power steering. We stopped and restarted the vehicle and the warning lights were reset. About 2 minutes later while driving, I noticed that the driver’s side seat warmer and rear defrost had both been switched on automatically.
