When getting my oil changed the mechanic told me that i had an antifreeze leak. He could smell it and saw fluid around the radiator. Also that i may need a new radiator and should have the dealership check it out. I brought my 2 year old 2017 jeep grand cherokee to the dealership and was told i did indeed need a new radiator. The car was bought new by me and has 45000 miles on it. I asked the mechanic if this was…

When driving on the freeway and regular street, and going uphill, my jeep's engine will stop running, the "d" on the dashboard blinks and the center of the dashboard says "shift to park". To get the jeep's engine to start up again, i have to put it in park and restart it. Being that the jeep does not run when this happens i am often stuck on the freeway or in the middle of traffic and can not pull over. This is…

While driving on a highway at 60 mph my vehicle started flashing every possible warning light. Airbags, abs, slip control, cruise control ... Everything. Most concerning was the 'service shifter' alert; the prnd lights on my shifter panel all started flashing and the car (auto transmission) was stuck in one gear and would not shift. Pulling over and restarting the vehicle would 'fix it' for 10-15 minutes until it…

I am a military service member serving in europe. I brought my 2017 jeep grand cherokee with me to europe in 2018. The vehicle has been meticulously maintained according to manufacture specifications. Earlier this year (2019) with approximately 98k miles on the odometer and while cruising on a german highway at approximately 85mph, the check engine light came on and the car suddenly and rapidly lost power. I…

The car was in eco mode. The car was driving on a residential street and was stopped for a train crossing. When the gas pedal was used to go forward the engine raced quickly to 4500 rpms and would not slow down until manually placed in neutral for several seconds. After driving on interstate 135 and coming to a stop at an exit, the car went into eco mode, when the gas pedal was used to put the car into motion the…

My car continues to stall and shut down while in motion. Extremely dangerous and terrifying when you're on a busy road and traveling at 30-35mph and you lose all power and your car stalls out. I have googled this issue and there are tons of complaints about this happening to many other people. Some while on highways. Some while at stop signs. We contacted our dealership yesterday and were told they can't see it for…

Took car to dealership, they drove it for a week before problem replicated and died twice on the road. They have had it 2 weeks now thinking it might be a pinched wire. Somewhere likely in the drivers side door. Will get back to me monday, april…

Jeep is a 2017 with 64,000 barely out of warranty. Jeep kept stalling out at stops while driving and extremely rough idle. Took it to dealership, contacted chrysler customer service about the known issue and nothing they can do. Extremely dangerous and do not feel safe driving this product.

The start/stop system on these vehicles is an accident waiting to happen. If i forget to shut it off and pull out into traffic after a stop, the engine delays accelerating causing me to not get up to speed quick enough to merge properly into the lane. The start/stop function is good for city driving and should be an option that is defaulted off and selected to on when the driver so desires. This constant turning the…

I am the original owner for 10 months. Several times over the last ten months, when stopped and then depressing the gas pedal fully without cruise control or launch control engaged, the throttle continues to accelerate even though my foot is removed fully from the gas pedal. It forces you to put the car in neutral and brake until the throttle becomes "unstuck" and the rpms of the engine come back down. I am…

My car acceleration pedal would not work and the car would prompt me to go to park to restart, while i was driving it. It would quickly decelerate and was a danger to me and my family. Problem would not produce a code and could not be replicated so they returned the car back to me to be driven by my family. The cause of the problem is unknown no solution was ever given. We got rid of the vehicle due to the huge…
