POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-30
- VIN: 1C4PJLMX1ND
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The vehicle makes a "pumping" noise when starting to acquire cruising speed. The noise started after the front brakes had to be replaced a few months after the purchase. Before the installation of the new brakes it was just fine. The car has been checked for this noise about two times already but the noise being intermittent is not always present when being checked. There has not been any warning lights or messages.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-03
- VIN: 1C4PJMBX4ND
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: on May 3 at approx. 4:00 pm I was sitting at a stop light and when it turned green I started to accelerate the jolt was so hard that I thought the car behind me had hit me.When I went to go again it started rolling backwards and I applied the brakes.I could not put it in reverse or drive or even in park; it just kept rolling down the ramp.I applied the emergency brake to keep it from rolling back onto the highway.I called the Jeep dealership closest to my home and they said it sounded like the TPU went out.There were no recorded messages on my computer system in the jeep. I had it towed to the dealership and after a couple of days, I was told the rear differential was going out as well and that it was going to cost a couple thousand dollars. After doing a little research I found out there was a recall on Jeep Cherokees in 2016-2017 for the exact same thing!I also discovered that when the TPU goes out it damages the rear differential and the transmission, so they are connected; not separate as the service manager lead me to believe.This Jeep is 2 years old and has 70,000 miles on it. The drive train is out of warranty by 10,000 miles.The car is mainly used on the highway and has never been off-road.I changed the oil regularly and took excellent care of it. It is I still consider to be a new vehicle. When the service manager tried to order the parts he was told they were not available due to issues.?I contacted customer care at Jeep Wave and they told me that since it is out of warranty they would help; but not much!I have been without a vehicle for almost two weeks now and I was told it could be months and expensive! If the transmission needs repaired it will add another $10,000.00 to the bill. I drive for a foster care company and now these children are not allowed visits due to this situation.Why is there no recall?

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-24
- VIN: 1C4PJMBX7ND
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: On [XXX], we were traveling from Seattle to Portland on [XXX] in my 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with the cruise control set at around 75 mph. Suddenly the emergency collision braking system applied and all of the lights on my vehicle lit up. While the braking system was being applied the cruise control was simultaneously applying gas resulting in the vehicle RPM redlining on multiple occasions. Fortunately, the weather was good, traffic was light, and I was able to maintain control of the vehicle to pull over once a vehicle in the slow lane passed. When stopped the engine light was on, along with an alarm for loss of electronic stability control (ESC), and an alarm for brake service. After clearing the ESC alarm by restarting my vehicle multiple times as indicated in the owner's manual I tried to operate the vehicle. However, the vehicle would not move properly in to drive (noise and felt like the brake was applied). We then decided to contact Jeep roadside assistance for an emergency tow covered by the warranty. We towed the vehicle to the nearest Jeep dealership which was closed for the weekend. On Monday, the dealership informed us that the power transfer unit (PTU) had failed and would need to be replaced. Regarding additional mechanical damage, a determination could not be made until the PTU was replaced. On Tuesday, the dealership advised that the PTU was on an engineering hold until March 20th as the part was now being produced by a new vendor. At this time it appears my vehicle will be inoperable for more than a month until the part is released from the engineering hold. I am concerned that PTU failure is a serious safety defect similar to what has occurred in past model years of the Jeep Cherokee.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-05-07
- VIN: 1C4PJMCX5ND
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Your website has some trouble & won't accept my jpg files. First time to see this. I use cruise control all the time on 3 vehicles I own. But, this JEEP has a strange problem that is not safe. Almost all vehicles I have driven with cruise controls will exceed set speed by 1~3mph while going down a steep hill. But my JEEP will exceed by 5~7mph on steep hills. I have turned off cruise control when it didn't control speed and drove manually for a while, then used cruise control again. If I set at 70mph, often speed will increase to 75~77mph going downhill; then brakes will engage strongly (hard braking) and JEEP will quickly go below 70 mph. JEEP will brake hard, go to or below 70mph then speed up some then brake hard again! Two-three times I had 18 wheelers behind me going down steep hill when I was using cruise control, JEEP quickly reached 75~77mph, then suddenly brakes clamped down with a lot of force and big trucks had to hit their brakes hard and were not far from my rear bumper. I do watch in rear view mirror often when driving. There are a lot of hills in my area of East Texas. I also watch out for smaller vehicles also when I use cruise control, especially going downhill. I took JEEP to a dealer Jan. 24, 2024 in Palestine, TX 75801 to check excessive carbon SOOT in tailpipes, coming out of muffler. And, I told service Mgr. about bad cruise control braking. They did nothing. Now, see Elliott JEEP dealer Service Invoice [XXX]. Dealer wasn't interested in looking a cruise control problem. He checked only excessive soot problem and maybe did a multipoint inspection. Also, this JEEP couldn't possible pass an EPA emissions control. I THINK THERE ARE SOME REAL DEFECTS IN MAIN CONTROL MODULE!!!! DEFECTIVE SPEED OR CRUISE CONTROL. DEFECTIVE AIR/FUEL SENSOR CONTROL MAKING A LOT OF SOOT. DISPLAY DEFECTIVE FOR GASOLINE & TEMPERATURE GUAGES IN DISPLAY. In 2023, I told different dealer about cruise control trouble and he didn't check anything, either.

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-11-26
- VIN: 1C4PJMCX5ND
- Components: ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: In late November 2023 I noticed my fuel economy dropping a lot, from 27-29mpg to 22-24mpg. And, soon tailpipes were accumulating a lot of soot in tailpipes and soot was coming out of end of muffler. I took to JEEP dealer in Palestine, TX. See invoice uploaded. Service advisor couldn't find any bad codes. He wrote some guesses as to source/cause of problem & suggested using more expensive, higher grade of gasoline. He said to try some catalytic converter cleaner, also. Seems, he thinks the braking system may be causing soot troubles. This soot problem will cause injector, spark plug, catalytic converter expenses in future! And, I have to spend much more for gasoline? I think main control module is defective and is missing computer code to properly detect this problem or is intentionally designed to ignore the cause of the excessive soot problem. It is not normal to have soot in a new vehicle!!! I've worked on vehicles since 1950s until US Government mandated electronics made us weekend mechanics obsolete. I've seen soot in old cars, pickups, tractors, other engines; but in a properly running newer vehicle. Maybe rings are bad in this engine. Maybe sensors need to be replaces but main control unit is designed to ignore soot producing part(s). Maybe sensors do not work properly especially in cold weather and causes a too rich gasoline mix in engine. But, dealers only obey what codes tell them. This sounds similar to the VW scandal where VW intentionally made software that could evade emissions control tests. JEEP has made soot problem disappear whereby sensors do not see soot being produced by V6 JEEP engine because main control unit software code has been written to do such: EVADE DETECTION THAT CAUSES NO ENGINE LIGHT ERROR NOTICE IN DRIVERS DISPLAY AND NOTHING IN DEALERS INSPECTION/DIAGNOSIS SOFTWARE. HEAVY SOOT NOT DETECTED BY JEEP's ENGINE SENSORS AND MAIN CONTROL UNIT? In person can see more soot, photos don't show 3D depth as it really is.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-06-20
- VIN: 1C4PJMMN0ND
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
- Summary: While driving on active roadways (including major highways during rush hour, a major downtown city at intersections with crosswalks during rush hour, and while exiting a parking garage), the vehicle suddenly stops, sounds a brief alarm and flashes one of 3 error messages on the dash board ("Shift to Drive", "....to shift", "...vehicle must be stopped"), while the "D" on the dashboard and the shifter flash (with the vehicle still in the "Drive" position). On one occasion, an additional message requested to turn the vehicle on. To resolve the issue in the moment, the vehicle must be shifted up to "Park", then brought back down to "Drive". Once returning to back to the "Drive" position, the vehicle resumes operation. The auto start had been turned off for at least most of these events. The stopping while actively driving has happened on 5 separate occasions and has been brought to 2 different Jeep dealers on 3 different occasions (totaling approximately 2 weeks) to try to identify the issue. Both dealerships have been unable to replicate the malfunction and have been unable to identify an error code. There has been no advisement by Jeep Corporation other than to keep driving the vehicle and video record the event if it is safe to do so (I was able to obtain 2 videos). The events have happened in the months of June, November, and December, and in the morning, mid-day, and afternoon, and when both accelerating and decelerating. There does not appear to be any particular condition preceding the failure. A vehicle suddenly stopping on the highway places myself and others on the road at risk of a serious accident, as does the vehicle failing at an intersection in a major city. There was a large tractor trailer behind me honking his horn during the first event, etc.

- VIN: 1C4PJMMX8ND
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Unknown The brake and gas pedal are so close to each other that when I switched from one to the other my foot scraped the brake pedal causing the car to stop or speed up. I am afraid to drive it. I paid cash($44000) for it. I notified the dealership and then had to come to the nursing home for rehab and have been unable to take it back so it’s sitting at my daughters house for over 6 mos. The dealership was emailing me frequently to come in and check out their cars but when I told them that I wanted a car for that one and I was afraid to drive it they quit corresponding with me. You have numerous negative reviews on it. I got it around 10/25/22 and am still in nursing home. Please advise. One man changed his out himself. The salesman(EvanI think) told me they didn’t have any Jeep grand Cherokees, what I wanted, then told me they did after I bought this one- a lie. I even suggested they pick it up themselves that’s when they guit messaging me.

This is my second Jeep Cherokee and I am absolutely blown away by this SUV! I love everything about it, from the color and interior to the powerful V6 engine and amazing features. I could go on and on about how much I love it. I had a 4-cylinder before and it just didn't have the power I needed. I highly recommend that everyone test drive a Jeep Cherokee - they'll be hooked just like I am!
-
I recently purchased a 2021 Latitude Lux because I needed their Active Drive II to flat tow the vehicle behind my RV. I was pleasantly surprised to learn about this Jeep 'secret' after speaking with a dealer's representative. It's great to know that this is one of the very few Cherokees that can be flat towed! I wonder if Jeep realizes how many RV owners are searching for flat towable vehicles and how few there are? Although I wish this feature was available on all models, especially the more expensive ones, I am still very happy with our Lux. It's loaded with other features that make driving it a pleasure! The car is quick, steers easily, and handles great! We can't wait to take it out on a warm sunny day with the sun roof open!
-
I'm so glad to hear that you love the features and color! It sounds like it will be a great addition for your family.
-
You'll enjoy a comfortable ride with this vehicle. While there is some road noise, the climate controls are easy to use and trouble-free. The gas mileage is quite good, and the sound system is quite pleasant and easy to adjust. Although there is no CD player, I use a portable CD player and it works great.
-
This is a great little car to drive around town in. It's quiet, composed, and has plenty of power.

Are you having problems with your 2022 Jeep Cherokee?

I recently had to rent a vehicle and unfortunately was given this particular one to drive. As someone who has owned and driven many different types of cars and trucks, including three Jeeps, I found this one to be quite a pain. One of the features I disliked was the start-stop push button, which seems to be a common feature in most new cars nowadays. Additionally, the engine cuts to low gear when stopped at a light, which affects the AC and can be quite annoying. Another issue I had was with the front window, which is practically useless when driving in the dark. The condensation is terrible and cannot be remedied unless you constantly use the windshield wipers. It doesn't matter if the AC is on, the heat is blowing, or if the front windshield defrost is on or off. Be prepared to run your wipers and constantly hit the wiper fluid to keep the windshield clear enough to drive. It's obviously a design flaw because the right side is even worse than the left! Seeing out the windshield is kind of important, don't you think?

I have owned my Jeep for only two years, and yet I have already had to replace the battery on 8/15/2023. Unfortunately, the battery is already draining again as of 9/25/2023. Despite being a brand new car at the time of purchase, this issue is clearly a cause for concern.

Please note that the auto stop engine cannot be permanently disabled. Additionally, the seat storage has been removed and the cargo floor is now a flimsy, non-attached board. The in-system land navigation has also been removed, and you must connect a cell phone via cable to use navigation. We hope this information helps!
