2019 Jeep Cherokee Complaint Log

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000 (Power Train); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked abnormally. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

PCM was replaced and a code came up that the PTU failed. PTU part is on national backorder. Would like this vin# put on recall so jeep will cover rental car expenses

I was at a red light, the first in line, and when the light turned green, I pressed the gas, and heard a horrible thud(thinking someone hit me because my car rattled) and then the car would not move forward. Each time I pressed the gas, nothing moved. I put it into park and back to drive, nothing. I put it in reverse and nothing. I put it in manual, and nothing. I even switched to sand, snow, etc, and nothing. Every time I revved the motor it did not move. It remained on, and revved the engine, but would not move. I have never had any signals (sounds, emergency lights, etc) come on in the four years I've had this vehicle. It did have a recall on it and supposedly was repaired the day I purchased the vehicle. I had it repaired by the same place it was purchased (and where the recall was fixed) and the head service guy told me I needed to contact Mopar to let them know of this and they denied anything..My 2019 Jeep with (at the time of this) had only 96964 miles on it should not have had this occur! If I'd have been on the express way (instead of a very busy intersection at rush hour) this would've been catastrophic for me and others!

I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee, on August 6th around 545AM, while on Highway 70E In Maryland, my Transfer Case completely seperated itself (Per Repair Shop). I immediately pulled over, there was lots of smoke. Roadside Assistance towed my Vehicle to repair shop. Repair Shop and Jeep Dealership have told me that the Transfer Case won't be in for approximately 2 Months, due to the Large Quantity on Order for the 2019 Jeep Recall, however my VIN was not on this Recall and clearly this is a known issue. Since this is a known issue, and so many being on Order, why is my VIN not apart of the recall and since it just completely separated causing a huge sudden safety issue, what needs to be done to add this to the Recall?

on multiple occasions when driving and trying to increase speed (such as after pulling out of my driveway) the car makes a sudden jerking almost or like something "misses" and it slows down and takes a couple seconds to regain again. On the most recent occasion, the engine light then came on and wouldn't go off. The code when tested, said it had to do with the transmission.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000 (Power Train); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The message "4x4 Malfunction" was displayed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the power transfer unit (PTU) had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that although the recall parts were not yet available, the parts could be ordered under the warranty of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

On Friday, 8/1/2025, while driving my car, I lost power and the SVC4WD message came on. I took it to the dealer on Monday, 8/4/2025. The technician told me that I need a new PTU and Transfer Box unit in order to fix the problem. He told me there are no recalls for this specific vehicle. I looked on your web site and using my VIN, I was able to pull up information. See included documentation. I also called Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) and they told me there are no recalls for the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. I was told that only "certain" cars are affected. My car has 39,000 miles driven. It is my understanding that this particular problem appears at 39K miles. It seems to me that my car should be included in the recall. The technician also informed me that it will take "months and months" to fix the problem and it will cost $3,000+. I am a single mom on a fixed income. I cannot afford the repair cost or to be without my vehicle for an indefinite amount of time. I request that my car be included in the recall. And that you provide a vehicle for me to drive while the dealer waits for the parts considering that they are in short supply and the dealer does not know when and if they will receive the parts necessary to fix the problem.

My "4WD needs service" warning badge has come on and I took it to the Jeep dealership and they ran said it was related to the active recall on the PTU. They ran a diagnosis on the PTU and verified it is bad. Stellantis will not fix the issue as they don't have a solution. It has been 8 months since the recall was announced. They want me to pay for the PTU ($3-4K) and when/if the solution is found I can submit for a potential reimbursement. This is my only vehicle and is unsafe to drive. I don't want to pay $4,000.00 out of my pocket for something they should be fixing.

I am reporting an open safety recall on my vehicle that has had no available remedy for over a year. My 2019 Jeep Cherokee is subject to Recall 01C, which warns of potential loss of power and loss of park function. Due to this defect, my vehicle’s 4-wheel drive system is currently inoperative. I live in Minnesota, where 4WD is necessary for safe winter driving. The loss of 4WD significantly affects the safe operation and intended use of the vehicle in snow and icy conditions. The recall notice has repeatedly stated that a remedy would be available by a certain date, but each time the date passes it is pushed back again. There has been no repair available despite the recall being open for more than a year. While I have not yet experienced a complete loss of power or park function, the recall states this is a possibility, and I am concerned about the safety risk this presents. The vehicle is currently being operated with a known safety defect that cannot be repaired. I am requesting that this issue be reviewed, as the prolonged lack of a remedy for a safety-related recall is creating an ongoing safety concern and hardship.

rear differential casting deuterated. Retainer ring gone-snap ring land eroded. RDM clip is missing. in need of right rear suspension knuckle and bearing parts. diagnosed by Friendly of Rome New York 7/30/2025. Found during annual inspection.

I’m reporting a Power Transfer Unit (PTU) failure on my 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4. I recently took the vehicle in for inspection after noticing performance issues, and it was diagnosed with a failing PTU. After researching this problem, I found that Jeep has issued a recall for PTU issues on certain 2014–2019 Cherokees, but my vehicle is not included in that recall. This is frustrating because I’m experiencing the same exact issues described by those whose vehicles were recalled—loss of power to the wheels, difficulty accelerating, and major safety concerns when driving. My Jeep has around 90,000 miles and has been well cared for with no prior major mechanical problems. This is the first significant issue I’ve had, and it’s a serious one. It’s clear this problem is not isolated to just the VINs currently covered under the recall. Jeep’s response so far has been to deny responsibility based on recall limitations—even though the defect is clearly present in my vehicle. I believe more owners are going to experience this same failure if their vehicles haven’t already, and they’re being left to pay for something that should be covered. I’m asking the NHTSA to investigate whether the scope of this recall needs to be expanded. This is a known defect, and there is no reason owners like me should be excluded from repair coverage just because our VINs didn’t make the original list—especially when the symptoms and failures are identical.

On [XXX] my 2019 Jeep Cherokee (VIN: [XXX] ) unexpectedly caught fire while [parked/operating — choose one], originating from what appears to be an internal electrical or wiring defect. No modifications, aftermarket parts, or repairs had been made to the engine or wiring since purchase, meaning the defect originated from the manufacturer. The fire caused significant damage to the wiring, requiring professional repair, and left me severely traumatized. Although the vehicle was repaired, the incident could have easily caused me serious injury or death. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Delamination of the console screen. Due to this delamination the vehicle has "ghost" called s.o.s. (911) and other people multiple times. it frequently changes radio stations (not a big deal) While driving on the highway has put the rear view camera on screen randomly. which has been a very scary distraction. It has also changed from a/c to heat (also not a big deal) The biggest safety issues are the dialing of 911 and the rear view camera turning on. This will happen even if I turn off the screen completely. I have brought this by a dealer. they say it is a common issue. I have also brought it by a private auto mechanic. They also say it is common, but that its not usually as bad. I first noticed the delamination when I purchased the vehicle at a dealer, I thought it was just the screen protector lifting. It has progressively gotten worse. There are multiple reports on this when i have googled the issue. There have been multiple times this has happened. I will put the most recent of dates, because that was the worst, and I haven't driven it since, since I'm afraid of having an accident.

The Power Transfer Unit and Transfer Case Assembly failed, it is currently available for inspection. The vehicle experienced unexpected loss of motive power at highway speed, additionally there was a noticeable front-end vibration and resulting dangerous change in drive quality. Finally, there was a loss of park function. The vehicle problem was confirmed at the dealer and is currently waiting a complete replacement of the Transfer Case and Power Transfer Unit. There was no warning prior to the problem, the Service 4WD warning lamp did not illuminate until approximately 1 week after the problem. Immediately after the initial front-end vibration and loss of power I took the vehicle to a mechanic, and they couldn't replicate the issue. It was determined the brake pads could have caused the vibration. Upon the second incident and when the service 4WD light came on I took the vehicle to the dealer where the service department determined it was the transfer case and PTU.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power and was unable to accelerate as intended. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway and shifted the vehicle into park; however, upon releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle began to roll away. Furthermore, after continued troubleshooting, the contact observed that the vehicle failed to move when shifted into drive(D) or reverse(R) but could roll away when shifted into park(P). No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the Power Transfer Unit (PTU); and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000 (Power Train); the VIN was included, but parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The contact was later offered per diem reimbursement for expenses incurred for renting a vehicle. The failure mileage was 114,000. The VIN was not available.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while the vehicle was idling at a stoplight, the brake pedal was depressed, and the parking brake was activated unintendedly. The contact pressed the parking brake button, but the parking brake failed to release. The vehicle was turned off and restarted, and the parking brake released. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic to be inspected. The certified mechanic informed the contact of NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V917000 (Electrical System). The mechanic informed the contact that the instrument panel needed to be replaced. The mechanic referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. An appointment for the vehicle to be inspected was scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Car shuts off, once while in the middle of a turn almost went off road and couldn’t use brake or turn wheel. There were three other times it shut off at red lights and I have to put car in park and press the start button. Two of those times car had just started with oil light, was told that it is linked to the oil and to always keep it full until recall is issued. However yesterday on my way to work with full oil it shut off again. I then did my regular way to fix it and kept driving to work, out of nowhere my car starts only being able to drive up to 29 miles per hour I’m just about to get on the highway so I pull over and have to shut off again fixing the problem. This seems incredibly dangerous due to it also when having this shut off issue a notice on my car says service 4wd unavailable. We live in New England the snow can be pretty bad. This car feels unsafe, I hope you realize this model has many issues and will address them, thank you!

found rear axle assembly has locked up, terrible binding noise when trying to move. found rear axle to be low on fluid and burnt up. needs new rear axle assembly.... remove and replace rear axle assembly NOTE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY IS ON BACK ORDER SINCE 8/2025. Unable to drive or get repaired. Making car payments without the ability to use. This vehicle has a "special gear ratio" that is not available. Due to the back order, price of replacement part continues to rise due to the lack of availability and demand. There has been no confirmation on when this part will be available.

I’m having power steering issues , when i start my vehicle the power steering light comes on and my steering wheel locks up

The PTU needs to be replaced at 83,000 miles. A message appeared on the dashboard and a diagnostic by a dealership confirmed it is the PTU.

I had "service 4wd" error message appear last month and brought it into Jeep dealership for diagnostics. I was told the Power Transfer Unit is bad, the same issue has been recalled in other Jeeps but my VIN number is supposedly not impacted. I was told it would be $3650 fix that is not covered by recall, but vehicle is safe to drive in meantime. Yesterday while driving, the car suddenly shut off mid drive and shook and made noises with a new neutral 4wd error mssg and engine light on. Thank goodness the Jeep was not far from home and was not on a high traffic or mph road as that could have had deadly consequences.It took pushing it to get it back home. Jeep corporate is still refusing to add my Jeep to the recall.

Hello, I own a 2019 Jeep Cherokee and recently noticed that the "4WD Service" light has come on. After having it inspected, I was informed that the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is failing. I understand this is a known issue with certain Jeep models and may be covered under a recall or extended warranty. I would like to know if my vehicle qualifies for any related coverage. Please let me know what information you need from me to determine eligibility. Thank you. My VIN Number is [XXX] .

In July of 2025 the srv 4x4 warning light came on a clanking sound began happening while driving. Eventually my jeep would begin shifting gears really hard. My local jeep dealer service dept. diagnosed that the PTU was failing. There was a recall in the recent months but my VIN was not on the recall list. They offered a good faith repair estimate of $2,500 plus tax to fix it and ordered the parts which were on a long backorder. Its now January 2026 and the parts are still not in yet. I should not have to pay $2,800 for a part that has been recalled on the same vehicle, make and model in recent months and I can't even have it repaired in a reasonable time. Very poor customer service Chrysler Jeep!

I am writing to express my deep frustration and concern regarding the unresolved recall on my Jeep vehicle, which has rendered it unsafe and undrivable. Despite my repeated efforts, I have received no meaningful support or communication from Stellantis. Here are the details: Recall Status: The vehicle is subject to an open recall (issued in January 2025), for which a remedy is still unavailable. Dealership Diagnosis: On or around July 15, 2025, I took my vehicle to a certified Jeep dealership due to warning messages and irregular driving behavior. The dealership confirmed the vehicle is exhibiting symptoms directly associated with the recall and advised me to park the vehicle immediately for safety reasons. Stellantis Communication Breakdown: I contacted Stellantis on July 15, 2025, and was informed a case manager would reach out. As of today, I have received no follow-up communication. When I attempt to call, I am either disconnected or transferred to a voicemail with no response. There is no direct way to reach the case manager, and I am forced to call repeatedly with no resolution. Impact on My Life: I have been without a vehicle since July 15. I rely on my car to get to work, transport my children, and attend medical appointments. I am still responsible for monthly car payments and insurance on a vehicle that I cannot safely operate. Given the safety risk and financial burden, I am formally requesting immediate assistance in the form of a loaner vehicle or rental coverage until a recall remedy is available and the vehicle is repaired.

Vehicle has been having driving issues such as noises and loss of power while driving. Recall for power control module, have been told they can’t give a loaner and they don’t have parts since the recall was issued (01/16/2025) was in the shop while that recall was going on (8 months actually because they couldn’t get parts) because it caused my differentials to lock up, they replaced them but vehicle has still had problems since then and was told there was nothing to be done. Warning signals come on and off when vehicle loses power, all dashboard lights cut on and off and it makes noise when shifting gears or accelerating. I have been terrified to drive it for months because it has just been getting worse and I am currently pregnant and don’t want to put my child at risk if it were to cause a wreck because I was told it could go out at anytime.

SVC 4WD warning indicator light appeared in dash cluster. Vehicle has been taken to two certified Jeep service dealerships. Both have confirmed the issue is with the Power Transfer Unit and that it will need to be replaced. Jeep does not have a replacement PTU for this widely known issue. A recall has been issued for this very problem, but our vehicle and many others from 2019 are not included in the recall. Same issue, same model, same year, but no recall and no part available for repair. Both dealerships have stated that the vehicle should not be driven due to safety concerns for loss of power if the PTU should completely fail. 6 months have passed with no indication of any effort from Stellantis to even repair the recalled vehicles, let alone the same vehicles with the same problem that are not included in the recall. A report was filed with Stellantis.

Component / System Failure: The transmission system of my 2019 Jeep failed while driving on the highway. The vehicle stalled twice during operation and has now completely lost transmission functionality. The issue has only been inspected by independent mechanics and not by the manufacturer or other official entities. The component is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: Both stalling incidents occurred while driving at highway speeds, placing me and other motorists at serious risk. Sudden loss of power in high- speed traffic created a hazardous situation with potential for collision or injury. Problem Confirmation: The vehicle was repaired after the first incident at a cost of $400. Despite the repair, the problem recurred, ultimately resulting in complete transmission failure. The issue has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or manufacturer, only by independent mechanics. No inspections have been conducted by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Only independent mechanics have evaluated the vehicle. here were no warning lamps, dashboard messages, or noticeable symptoms prior to either stalling incident. The failures occurred without any advance indication.

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

An alert showed on the message board SVC 4WD and 4WD unavailable. We live part time in the mountains and rely on 4WD. Last winter we had snow and could not get up our driveway. When leaving the mountains we were going through the steps to tow our Jeep behind our RV. The system indicated failure to disengage the transmission so we were unable to tow the Jeep and we were still 1000 miles from home in Florida. We went to Jeep dealers in PA, DE, GA, and again in FL. All dealers found the issue with the PTU issue 01C but said there was not a remedy. Even if they replaced the PTU it could happen again as they did not know what inside the PTU was the problem. We've had some transmission slipping or hesitating as well.

Two speed power transfer unit failure. It's been since July 1, 2025 y car has been unable to drive. The PTU unit went out on the highway going 65 MPH and immediately lost control of having power to the gas pedal and had to pull over quickly on the highway. They still have not developed the remedy, and are withholding money from rental reimbursement.

There is a recall for the vehicle where the repair description states that if a PTU failure occurs it will be replaced by FCA US. The PTU damage has been confirmed by an independent service center and the dealership. The dealership currently has our vehicle and has stated that we can either drive it until it completely fails (which according to their recall letter states: "A loss of drive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. A loss of PARK function can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or injury to others outside the vehicle.") or we pay $3500 to have it replaced. I have been told at this time a part is not available for the snap ring/seal issue but the recall states they will replace a damaged PTU. I have contacted Stellantis and they have told us they can reimburse us up to $50.00/day for a rental car until we are able to have the recalled part fixed. The PTU is not the recall but will be replaced if it is damaged. Telling us we could just drive it until it completely fails is completely unacceptable and showing no concern for the safety of their customers. The recall has been open for 6 months. At what point will they begin honoring the PTU replacements.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, where the failure persisted. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the PTU. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000 (Power Train). The VIN was included, but parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 104,000.

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.

My car started making a grinding noise when making a sharp right hand turn. I took this to a garage and was told the PTU is faulty. I have since found out there was a recall for this on Jeeps manufactured until Feb of 2019. Mine was manufactured in March of 2019 and has the same issue as in the recall. The PTU has been ordered but is on back order. If possible, please look into expanding the dates of manufacture for this recall as I know of 2 other Jeep Cherokees one of which was manufactured the same time as mine that have this same issue.

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.
