2019 Jeep Cherokee Body & Structure Problems

My panoramic sunroof just shattered without reason.i wasn't close enough to any vehicle for a rock or debris to be the issue I was driving a steady speed on the freeway when it happen. The glass that broke seemed to have broke outward not inward.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the inside of the front driver’s side door filled up with water while it was raining. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer stated that the cause of the failure was identifiable, but the result was not disclosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,200.

Both front doors fill with water in even the lightest rain. A health emergence is developing due to mold forming. Additionally, any/all electronics in the door are likely to short out causing many safety issues if this known problem is not addressed by the manufacturer .

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving downhill at approximately 30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The contact stated that an excessive amount of pressure on the brake pedal was needed before the vehicle came to a stop. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that there was excessive rust on the rotors. The contact was informed that the rotors, calipers, and brake pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,500.

SINCE I BOUGHT OUR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE NEW, THE HOOD HAS HAD A BAD FLUTTER. IT FLUTTERS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT SETS OFF THE AUTO STOP/START LIGHT. HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER AT LEAST 6 TIMES AND NO RESOLUTION. IT FLUTTERS SO BAD THAT IT SEEMS THE HOOD IS ACTUALLY GOING TO FLY OPEN. IT REALLY GETS BAD WHEN YOU PASS ANOTHER VEHICHLE.

We purchased the 2019 Jeep Cherokee new from a Jeep dealership. At 15,000 miles (approx.) the hood began to bounce up and down 1/2" to 3/4" while driving at highway speeds, driving into a wind or following a semi-truck. In addition to the obviously concern over the safety of the hood bouncing and potentially unlatching, this causes the auto start/stop function of the engine to malfunction. We had the Jeep dealership inspect the problem several times under the 36,000 mile warranty period and they adjusted the hood each time, but the hood bouncing would return in a matter of days or a week. They failed to resolve the issue under warranty. Now, we have 79,300 miles on the vehicle and the hood was inspected by a Jeep dealership and it has been adjusted to the maximum adjustment and the hood still bounces dangerously. The dealership now tells us that the panel bond in the hood is broken and has compromised the strength of the hood and that the hood should be replaced. The dealer compared our hood and latch to the hoods and latches of similar vehicles on the lot to make the determination of the broken hood bond. Jeep Consumer Care tells us that Jeep will not cover the hood replacement even though this constitutes a safety issue of the hood potentially unlatching at highway speeds. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate and implement a safety recall.

WHILE DRIVING, MY REAR HATCH WARNING CAME ON, I PULLED OVER TO REALIZE THAT THE LATCH WOULD NOT LOCK, CAUSING MY LIGHTS TO STAY ON, CAUSING A COLD ENVIRONMENT FOR MY 9 MONTHS OLD BABY, WITH THE DOOR NOT BEING ABLE TO SEAL. WITH THIS BROKEN, ALSO DISABLES MY REMOTE START, VOIDING ANY ANTI THEFT ABILITIES.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAIL HAWK FROM AN AMARILLO TEXAS DEALERSHIP. I NOTICED WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE HOOD WAS SHAKING AND THE WIND WAS PICKING IT UP LIKE IT WAS LOOSE. I TOOK IT IN 3 TIMES TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THE FACTORY MISALIGNED THE HOOD AT THE FACTORY AND THEY REALIGNED IT. IT STILL WAS SHAKING AND COMING UP. TOOK IT BACK 2ND TIME THEY ADJUSTED IT AGAIN, TOOK IT HOME SAME PROBLEM, NOT FIXED. TOOK IT BACK A THIRD TIME THEY LOOKED AT IT SAID THEY DID ALL THEY COULD DO TO FIX IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY HOOD STILL CATCHES AIR PULLS UP AND SLAMS DOWN AND AN ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON 3 TIMES. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS CAR. I DON'T DRIVE ON WINDY DAYS BECAUSE I FEEL UNSAFE IN THE CAR. IT FEELS LIKE THE LATCH ON THE HOOD IS GOING TO GIVE WAY AND MY HOOD IS GOING TO COME UP AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD. I AM PROTECTED UNDER THE LEMON LAW AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS SAFETY CONCERN. I NEED AN INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED ON MY VEHICLE . AS OF RIGHT NOW IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY HOOD DOESN'T SIT FLUSH WITH THE BODY OF THE CAR AND YOU CAN FIT ALL OF YOUR FINGERS IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE HOOD AND BODY OF CAR. *TR

PLASTIC DOOR TRIM IS COMING OFF EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE. NOTICED WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ALSO RIPPED OUT OF HEADLINER AFTER A HANDFUL OF USES. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHILE DRIVING. COMPLETELY DANGEROUS AS IT TAKES 2 HANDS TO PUT IT BACK UP.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the hood on the driver's side unexpectedly opened. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND PASSING SEMI-TRUCK TRAILER'S THE 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE HOOD VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY UP AND DOWN (I-70 SPEED LIMIT IS 75 MPH). THE UP AND DOWN HOOD VIBRATION ACTION CAUSES THE A STOP / START MESSAGE TO APPEAR IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HOOD SHIMMIED AND SHUDDERED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE HOOD LATCH WOULD DETACH AND IMPACT THE DRIVER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. WATERTOWN FORD CHRYSLER (1600 9TH AVE SE, WATERTOWN, SD 57201, (605) 886-5844) SERVICED THE HOOD BY ADJUSTING VARIOUS KNOBS, WHICH THE CONTACT FELT WAS AN INTERIM REMEDY RATHER THAN A PERMANENT SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GET A SECOND OPINION. BILLION CHRYSLER, JEEP, LINCOLN, MERCURY, MAZDA (3401 WEST 41ST, SIOUX FALLS, SD 57106, 605-361-1919) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

SINCE THE DAY I PICKED UP THIS 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED TWO WEEKS AGO, THE HOOD SHAKES AND FLUTTERS IN CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS. DRIVING INTO HIGH WINDS AND OVER 55 MPH, AIR GETS UNDER THE HOOD IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT SEEMS AS IF THE HOOD COULD BREAK LOOSE CAUSING EITHER INJURIES OR AN ACCIDENT. IT GETS EVEN WORSE WHEN DRIVING IN SIDE WINDS AND MEETING SEMI TRUCKS. IT ACTUALLY APPEARS THAT THE GUST OF WIND COMING OFF THE TRUCK IS GOING TO TAKE THE HOOD OFF OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVING THIS CHEROKEE IN THESE CONDITIONS HAS PERSONALLY CAUSED ME VERY HIGH ANXIETY TO THE POINT WHERE I AM CONSTANTLY FOCUSED ON THE HOOD RATHER THAN THE ROAD. WHEN MEETING SEMI TRUCKS ON THE HIGHWAY, I PULL AS FAR TO THE RIGHT AS POSSIBLE SOMETIMES COMPLETELY GOING OFF THE ROAD IN AN ATTEMPT TO MINIMIZE THE WIND GUST. THESE ARE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS TO ME AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON PUBLIC ROADS. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO TAKE ANTI ANXIETY MEDICATION JUST TO GET THE COURAGE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY, THUS CAUSING OTHER SAFETY ISSUES AND FEELING AS IF I'M BEING AN IRRESPONSIBLE DRIVER. THE JEEP DEALER HAS ADJUSTED THE HOOD LATCH AND BUMPERS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS JUST AS IT DID WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC ON THE 105 FREEWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MILES PER HOUR, AND MY CAR SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD HITTING THE OTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. TIME OF OCCURRENCE WAS JAN 28, 2019 APPROXIMATELY 2:30PM.
