I was sitting at a drive thru when my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 started to malfunction. A service shifter light came on, then the service engine light, then the service airbag light. all the lights and windshield wipers went on. no matter what i did lights and wipers kept malfunctioning. My car stalled and I wasn-€™t able to move it. I turned my car off, turned it back on and again. It let me drive a couple feet but the steering wheel was stiff. Again it stopped moving, wouldn-€™t allow me to go any further and only made the noise as if I was accelerating. All the lights and windshield wipers kept going crazy. I turned my car off and on again. Lights and wipers never stopped. I was able to drive another couple feet but then the 4x4 locked. The shifter switched from drive to parking and it was stuck on parking. The emergency neutral lever and button locked. My Jeep was going no where. The cables that connect to the battery were extremely hot and could have been a fire hazard. The vehicle was also saying service transmission continue on D, Do not shift or turn off Engine but the vehicle automatically set it self to Parking. My entire car locked down. I could only turn it on and off. I had to get it towed to the nearest auto repair shop. their analysis computer was unable to communicate with the vehicle. Luckily I was in a drive thru and not driving on the street or freeway. I could have been a very dangerous/deadly situation elsewhere. No previous accidents, issues with the jeep. It all happened suddenly.

I was driving around 75mph on the interstate for about an hour (not using cruise control) when all of a sudden the accelerator no longer worked. There was no warning, no error lights or codes or anything. I tested the brakes and they still worked. I was able to coast to a stop on the breakdown lane. I waited about 20 seconds and restarted the car and everything worked again. This is my son's car that I was driving and it's really concerning because I thought I bought a safe car for him. I'm an experienced driver, but either way it's extremely dangerous. I looked information up about this issue and I guess it's been happening quite a bit according to the internet. Someone mentioned that the 4 PCM torx head t15 mounting screws that hold the PCM faceplate to the protective metal case where the circuit board is housed are too long. (Not the 3 bolts that hold the PCM to the mounting bracket) When there was a vibration or shift, the screws touched the circuit board shorting everything out and causing the engine to stall. The owner put washers with the 4 little t15 screws and were able to fix the problem. I think there needs to be a recall. I'm afraid to drive the car myself or have my son drive it. I'm taking it to the dealer, but I don't think they'll be able to recreate the situation.

Vehicle stalling and jumping when switching gears

- Bellevue, NE, USA

I was stopped in traffic with the vehicle in drive. When the light changed to green I pressed the accelerator and the drive (D) indicator light began blinking. At the same time, the engine would rev but would not go forward. The vehicle behind me nearly ran in into the back of us. I had to switch from drive to park, back to drive to move forward.

I bought this car in Jan. 2018 brand new. For the first year or so I had no problems. As of July 2020 it has stalled on me for 5 times. It only happens while on the highway (60-70mph). The lights on the dashboard start blinking and it says "shift to P to start". it decelerates very quickly luckily I've been able to merge to the emergency lane on the highway but this last time (1/17/21) it was very scary as cars were swerving in order to avoid hitting me. I'm unable to accelerate so there's cars going 60-80mph flying past me. Once I get to the emergency lane and down to 5-7mph the car completely stops (hard stop). I've taken it in to the dealer every time and every time they can't "duplicate" my complaint, there for nothing can be done.can someone please fix this as I still have 1 year left on this car! if not- im trading it in & no longer buying Jeep. I have the dealer invoice for all visits if anyone needs them.

Vehicle has shut off while driving 3 separate times. The last time was doing 65 down a Texas highway. Suddenly lost all power to the engine. On pressing the the motor revved up but there was no transmission engagement even though the vehicle was still in drive. Was forced to pull over to shift into park to restart the vehicle. All three times the vehicle was in motion and the automatic vehicle shutoff feature was disabled. I had it in to the dealer after the first two times, they weren't able to reproduce it so they gave it back having driven it 100 miles and taken a quarter tank of gas doing so. I haven't driven the vehicle much due to the pandemic but yesterday the third occurence happened in a construction zone and we were almost rear ended at 65 mph due to this failure.

The Jeep makes a loud popping noise when placing it into any gear and you can feel a push forward. I took the Jeep into the dealership to check out the problem. First they said they did not have it happen to them and I needed me to come in and show them. When I got there and showed them and the mechanic first thought it could be something and put it up to look at it again. He made it repeat the popping and lurching movement multiple times then came back and said all Jeep do this and it is normal. But now it is worse and it is also popping and lurching while slowing down and speeding up.

- Logan Sport, IN, USA

Purchased a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee 1 month ago that had less than 3,000 miles on it. Yesterday when driving home from work, we were going roughly 40 miles an hour when the car came out of gear and lost all power to the wheels. Pulled the car to the side of the freeway and transmission locked up. Had vehicle flatbedded to dealership where the trans had to be manually disengaged to get of the tow vehicle. This vehicle has 4,000 miles on it.

- Milford, MI, USA

Transmission shifts hard and rough. Mainly shutters the entire car when the automatic trans downshifts from 3-2-1 gears. Very noticable from 2-1 gear. Will almost surge/jump the car from these two gears. This can be a hazard as if I was to stop fast it will jerk the entire car and almost lunges the car forward when doing so. This car was bought July 27th, 2019, with 2K miles on it. Took it into the dealer and of coarse they deny any issue as they would be out thousands of labor dollars if they were to fix 1 car. So it's too easy for them to pass off that it's fine.

Car stalls when decelerating. Happened on residential streets only as we refused to take the highway for fear of an accident.
