FILLED UP GAS TANK AND WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE KEPT TRYING TO STALL.

NHTSA ODI 11415960

AFTER HITTING 50K MILES ON MY VEHICLE I NOTICED FOLLOWING FUELING IT WILL BEGIN TO SHUDDER AND RPM'S WILL GO OUT OF WACK. THEN RPM DROPS AND CAR WILL GIVE NOTICE "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR" MESSAGE. OTHER LIGHTS WILL LITE UP AND BATTERY LITE STAYS LIT WHEN THIS MESSAGE IS GIVEN. (I HAVE A NEW BATTERY SO IT CAN NOT BE DUE TO A BAD ONE.) THE CAR WILL THEN STALL AND STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE IN MOTION AND DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. IS A HAZARD AS HAPPENS QUICKLY AND NO WARNING SO CAN NOT PULL OVER. HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN UNTIL TANK IS DOWN TO ABOUT 3/4 FULL. I DO NOT OVER FILL THE TANK. HAD TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEMS. NO MESSAGES WERE GIVEN TO THEM DURING THE CHECK. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND A HAZARD ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU HAVE CARS BEHIND YOU THAT HAVE TO STOP SUDDENLY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS FOR FEAR IT WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I WILL BE INJURED IN A REAR END COLLISION IF CAR BEHIND ME IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MANY MONTHS NOW. EVERY TIME I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND I DO NOT OVERFILL. I STOP AT THE FIRST "CLICK" WHEN PUMPING. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD MAKE FOR AN EASY RECALL TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECOMES MORE SERIOUS THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW WITH SOMEONE REALLY GETTING INJURED OR WORSE! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE FEARFUL OF MY OWN VEHICLE.

THE PTU CASE IS FAULTY LEAVING MY 4WD UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING AND STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND NOTIFICATION POPPED UP SAYING "SHIFT GEAR TO PARK (P) AND TO DESIRED GEAR". AFTER PERFORMING THAT AND WHEN I WENT BACK TO D ALL POWER WENT AWAY AND CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS (THERE WAS A LITTLE SLOPE). SO I WENT TO PARK AGAIN AND TRIED IT ONCE MORE, POWER CAME FOR 3 SECONDS AND WENT OUT AGAIN.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GAVE A CODE P0520 SO AN OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS INSTALLED AND A FRONT CRANK SEAL SO THAT WAS REPLACED AT VEHICLE MILEAGE 51,722. 2014 TRAILHAWK STILL LEAKING OIL SO OIL PAN GASKET REPAIRED. STILL LEAKING OIL SO DIFFERENT MECHANIC ORDERED AN OIL FILTER HOUSIN COMPONENT TO FIX. HE SAID MANY OIL FILTER HOUSINGS IN JEEP CHEROKEES HAVE HAD THESE REPLACED!! SMELLED OIL WHILE DRIVING AND SAW OIL DROPS ON GARAGE FLOOR. THESE OIL FILTER HOUSINGS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. I'VE SPENT OVER $1500 TO FIX AN OIL LEAK BECAUSE MECHANICS MISDIAGNOSED. DEALERSHIP MECHANICS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THESE INFERIOR PARTS!

CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING TO FULL CAPACITY. SHUTTERED AND STALLED 3 TIMES AFTER REFUELING TANK. THE CAR GIVES OFF MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS RANGING FROM TRANSMISSION TO BATTERY, DESPITE THE TRANSMISSION AND BATTERY BEING PERFECTLY FINE. ONCE THE CAR BEGINS TO STALL, THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND ALL POWER IS LOST. THE CAR MUST BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED, SOMETIMES IT STRUGGLES TO RESTART

WHEN REFUELING, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AFTER .2 TO .3 GALLONS REPEATEDLY.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO SHOP FOR A REPAIR. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SHOP THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSING THE POOR PERFORMANCE.

UPON FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE OPERATES AS IT IS INTENDED TO FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, UNTIL IDLING ON THE ROADS. THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DROP IN RPMS, AND IF IT GETS FAR ENOUGH, THE VEHICLE STALLS, DIRECTS ME TO SHIFT TO PARK, AND PRESS THE START BUTTON. IN SOME CASES, THE VEHICLE WILL START RIGHT BACK UP, BUT WITH SOME TROUBLE, OR NOT AT ALL. VEHICLE BECOMES A METALLIC VEGETABLE AND STARTS EMITTING A RICH SMELL OF PETROL. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN CONSTANTLY DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS DRIVEN 50 MILES AFTER FUELING.

NHTSA ODI 11389283

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, VEHICLE WILL BUCK AND STALL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK. WE STOP FILLING AFTER THE FIRST CLICK SO WE DO NOT OVER FILL THE VEHICLE. AFTER READING, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE.

IN OCTOBER OF 2020 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY JEEP SHUT OFF AND LOST ALL MOTIVE AND ELECTRIC POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE BRAKES APPLIED THEMSELVES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING, DOING ABOUT 40-45MPH. A MESSAGE CAME UP THAT SAID PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN OFF. AFTER DOING SO MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND GET HOME SAFELY. WE TOOK OUR JEEP INTO TO BE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY FOUND A CODE FOR LOW VOLTAGE BUT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD, JUST LOOSE CONNECTIONS. . NO OTHER CODES WERE PRESENT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY FOUND LOOSE GROHND CABLES TO THE CHASSIS AND PCM, BOTH WERE TIGHTENED. ON 11/18/2020 AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK, I TURNED ON TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD AND MY JEE AGAIN LOST ALL POWER. GAVE ME A MESSAGE THAT VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE SHIFTING GEARS.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS NUMBERING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS EXHIBITED THE HARD SHIFTING SLUGGISH SHIFTING AND JERKING SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE . BEGINNING IN AUGUST OF 2020 I NOTICED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THAT WHEN I WENT TO PULL OUT FROM A COMPLETE STOP MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO AND WOULD DROP INTO NEUTRAL SUDDENLY AND I WOULD HAVE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE TO GET IT TO MOVE AND HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE IN A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT ON TWO MULTIPLE OCCASIONS ON THE SAME DAY AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEEN THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL AND MAKE BUT MINE JEEP IS NOT INCLUDED BUT IT EXHIBITS THE SAME PROBLEMS AND IT HAS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL THAT NUMEROUS RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR.

AFTER FILLING UP MY CAR EVERYTIME IT SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND SWITCHES TO NEUTRAL. RPM SHOOTS UP RANDOMLY AND SHUTS OFF

ATTEMPTING TO FILL GAS TANK AT GAS STATION. GAS TANK AT ABOUT 1/4 FULL. GAS PUMP REPEATEDLY SHUTS OFF WHILE FILLING ABOUT EVERY 0.1 GALLON. IT TAKES 10-15 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK. THIS FIRST HAPPENED JANUARY 2020 BUT PROBLEM WENT AWAY AFTER SEVERAL FILL UPS. I HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2020. STILL HAPPENING. I LIVE IN NORTHWEST OHIO.

NHTSA ODI 11362546

CAR BUCKS AND STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. FOUR TIMES TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY, DRIVING CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC. MADE IT TO THE DEALER. THEY WERE ABLE TO FINALLY SEE THE PROBLEM AS NO CODES WERE GOING OFF BEFORE. CAR WAS IN MOTION AND STALLED. RESTARTED,THEN STALLED AT THE RED LIGHT. SO IT STALLED WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY.

I NEED TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR AT LEAST TWO TIMES IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. MY CAR HAS STOPPED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN I TURN BECAUSE IT RAN OUT OF OIL. THE ENGINE BURNS OIL SO FAST. I DON'T DRIVE THAT MUCH. THIS IS EXPENSIVE AND VERY VERY DANGEROUS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AFTER FILLING GAS TANK (NOT TOPPING IT OFF). TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON, ALL WARNINGS COME ON, AND CAR LOCKS UP. SOMETIMES YOU CANNOT PUT IT IN GEAR, AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. IT WILL SAY "SHIFT TO PARK," BUT YOU CANNOT ALWAYS DO THAT. SOMETIMES WHEN IT STALLS IT WILL STILL BE RUNNING, BUT WILL JUST GO OUT OF GEAR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YESTERDAY, I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED THREE TIMES ON AN INTERSTATE IN ATLANTA WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. HERE IS WHAT ONE MECHANIC SAID: YOUR VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH VENTILATION FROM THE FUEL PUMP, THE GAS HAS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO BUT GET SUCKED UP TOWARDS THE ENGINE. THE PUMP IS FAILING, THE CHARCOAL CANISTER IS FULL OF FUEL, THE EVAP SYSTEM INTEGRITY MODULE IS FULL OF FUEL AND THE PURGE IS PUSHING FUEL INTO THE INTAKE WHICH IS DROWNING THE MOTOR AND SHUTTING IT OFF. HE SAID IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AND THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS WITH THE EXACT MAKE AND MODEL OF THE CAR. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR, AND IT ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT. I, OR SOMEONE ELSE, WILL BE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS STARTED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND IT TOOK OVER A YEAR TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. WE HAVE SINCE CALLED CHRYSLER EVERY DAY TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, AND NO ONE WILL RETURN OUR CALLS. THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SITUATION, THE SEVERITY OF THE SITUATION, AND OUR CONCERNS. THEY SAID TO CONTACT YOU.

AFTER I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING (LESS THAN 30 MPH) OR IDLING MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES OF DRIVING. THE CAR STARTS SHUDDERING, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, IT STALLS, SAYS TO SHIFT TO PARK, AND THEN REQUIRES A RESTART. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR AND EVERYTHING SEIZES UP, INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL. SOMETIMES A NOTIFICATION COMES ON ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS BEING INOPERABLE. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK - IF I DON'T FILL MY TANK ALL THE WAY, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. NOTE THAT I DO NOT "TOP OFF" MY GAS - I STOP WHEN THE PUMP STOPS. IT IS REALLY SCARY AND REALLY DANGEROUS, AS I STALLED OUT ON A MERGING INTERSTATE RAMP AND THEN ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE JUNE 2019.

SHIFTER IS CONTINUALLY LIGHTING UP WITH THE RED INDICATOR LIGHT ON ALL GEARS (P, R,N &D) VERY RECENTLY I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' THE INDICATOR LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR A FEW YEARS AT THIS POINT, BUT ONLY RECENTLY THE ERROR MESSAGE. THIS ERROR MESSAGE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVE 70MPH DOWN THERE FREEWAY. ALSO, THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE 'FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM' THAT I'VE HAD NEATLY SINCE WE BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW. IT'S BEEN LOOKED AT AND NO ONE WILL TOUCH IT WITHOUT COSTING AN ARM AND A LEG. UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE! BOTH ARE ONGOING ISSUES OCCURRING SINCE WINTER OF 2013.

A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO ENTER A TRAFFIC CIRCLE WHEN THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO PUT IT PACK IN PARK AND RE-START, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN QUICKLY. LUCKY, THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS PATIENT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

NHTSA ODI 11337452

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE OIL HOUSING FILTER AND LIGHT SWITCH AND NOW THE SHIFTER LIGHT IS COMING ON. THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND NEEDS A RECALL. THIS IS ALL HIGHWAY. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK IT IRKS AND SHUTS OFF. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.
