Jeep begins to display 4WD service light. Took it into a transmission shop who informed that Power Distribution Unit needs to be replaced. They indicated that there is an active recall on this part and that it should be taken to a Jeep Service Center. Jeep Service Center confirmed that it is indeed a PDU issue and that there is an active recall on this part. This serial number vehicle, however, is not covered by the recall. As this is the same part and symptoms, as well as year and make of auto, this jeep's serial number should be included in the recall. Please update your records to include this jeep in the recall. As of now, the Jeep has been awaiting backordered parts for 1 month, with no projected delivery date. The projected repair costs are $3800. Thank You

The rear differential housing is peeling apart and leaking out the fluid. It is clearly a defect that is shown widely on the internet affecting many other owners of this vehicle. Clearly there is a danger of the drive train locking up and can lead to accident. Talked with jeep they do not want to help.

Drive shaft busted at approximately 54, 900 miles. Was explained to me by my mechanic how bad this was, and that this could have been gravely injurious to me and others, and that I got lucky. Approximately one month later the air compressor went. The 4WD service light comes on, which suggests a drivetrain problem, as well, though could be an electrical issue. Both repairs were costly. This is unacceptable for a car under or around 55,000 miles and is well-maintained.

Vehicle power train unit was recalled 01/23/2025 for failing parts, however, no parts are available for a fix, Jeep/FCA are not aware when the parts will be available and/or when the recall will be completed. The failure of the PTU can cause dangerous, if not fatal results, including a lower of drive power, a vehicle crash, a loss of park function, and even death. The PTU is recalled, however, I have also already replaced it once and paid out of pocket.

Grinding/binding when backing up or turning the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to dealership 12/28/2023 where I was charged $306 to diagnose the issue. Estimate to repair was $4291.66 on a vehicle that had 23,823 miles on it. Went to 3 independent mechanics for estimates and none would touch the vehicle because Jeep would not release the codes for software or provide information for a fix. 01C/NHTSA 25V-011 recall notice then received 2/2025 with NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. Registered for recall and signed up for notifications when parts are available and still waiting as of July 3, 2025. Manufacturer has failed to provide timely repairs of my vehicle which is now slow to accelerate on the highway, noise is louder, binding is worse on turning and backup. Vehicle is useless to drive any distance away from home. Independent mechanics are vocal about how Jeep should be ashamed of their tactics. Need my car fixed or replaced at this point. Total failure of manufacturer. Will submit receipts for reimbursement of diagnostics costs from Jeep dealership also.

My 2019 Jeep Cherokee 2.4L engine is consuming an excess amount of oil. I took it to the dealership and the only solution I was given was to replace my entire engine. I looked up recalls for this, there are none. Never received anything from JEEP like other people online have regarding excess oil consumption. I have to now get oil changes every 1,500 miles-?? The oil light doesn-??t come on, instead, every time I go to make a turn. The car turns off while driving or stalls. Very dangerous

The rear differential developed a crack along the outer edge, resulting in a peeling effect along the edge of the unit resulting in fluid loss. We were informed by our dealer (who discovered the issue) that the part needs to be replaced to prevent full failure of the part and a catastrophic event on the road. I called Jeep to seek financial assistance and was told to get an official diagnosis from the dealer, ($180) which I paid for, in order to submit my claim to Jeep and request for reimbursement of approximately $4,200 for replacement part, labor and required wheel alignment. I submitted to Jeep the official dealer diagnosis and receipts for repair. There were no warning lamps or symptoms other than the fluid loss and visual cracks on the differential housing. We were informed by the dealer that they have experienced and repaired one other vehicle with the exact problem and that this is a common and known problem on specific model year Jeep Cherokees. I paid out of pocket for the repair, as we could not afford the 3-6 month time wait for the dealer to resolve financial assistance for the replacement. Note - Jeep Care asked me to submit documents directly to them regarding my claim and assigned CASE number-93372499. Which I did. They then responded and advised I contact my dealer for financial assistance. Which I did. The dear contacted Stellantis and then responded that since I prepaid for the repair, no financial assistance will be given. I then reached out the Wisconsin Dept of Agriculture and Consumer Protection to contact Stelantis on my behalf. They contacted Stellantis, and received a reply that since I am out of warranty, I will receive no financial assistance. So, Stellantis provided two different answers to my request. Informing the dealer since I prepaid, I will receive nothing, and informing Wisconsin that since I am out of warranty, I will receive nothing. Two different answers to the same request.

Vehicle started jerking while accelerating. Acceleration was also extremely slow, especially at lower speeds. Vehicle was also shaking at one point when reaching about 50 mph, but had just driven at over 60mph without shaking. Oil level is good. All temperatures are normal.

PTU needs to be replaced after less than 55k miles. Several recalls issued, but VIN is not included, but meets every "check box" for recall.

- Boca Raton, FL, USA

My 2019 Jeep Cherokee, which is currently experiencing a Power Transfer Unit failure. My Service 4WD light came on, and the vehicle is exhibiting the same symptoms as those covered under several PTU-related recalls, including Recall W47 and Recall 01C.

- Peoria, AZ, USA

The SVC 4WD light came on. Took it to dealer and was told I need to pay $4,000 out of pocket to get the ptu replaced. I-??ve read articles stating that my car should have a recall on it but when I search my vin-?? nothing comes up. Could result in complete loss of control, or car can-??t disengage from parking brake when seated.

A grinding noise came from under the vehicle and it began handling differently. A local garage looked and found the rear differential/axles/propeller shaft loose and making internal noises. They referred me to the dealer. A month to get in. I tried a reman, but parts are backordered I am told because these are failing everywhere. The vehicle is unsafe and now the dealer says September at the earliest, $1,000 plus labor, parts cost unknown.

I was visiting my neice in Missouri. 2019 jeeep Cherokee, 33,000 miles. My power tran unit has broke and I had to leave my vehicle in Missouri to drive back my neices vehicle. I was told not to drive it as it was totally gone. I didn't do anything to cause this. This was supposed to be my las car and now its a disaster. Why have so many other 2017-2019 Jeep Cherokee not been recalled vs all the recalls on others nothing different in mine.
