CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2019 Cherokee is racking up engine complaints for suddenly shutting down while driving. But the problem could possibly be related to the increasingly defective 9-speed transmission which suffers from hard shifts, lurching problems, and a wiring harness defect that can cause sudden shutdowns or an unexpected shift into neutral.

The first time I had a problem with this car was a few days after I received it in Dec 2018. Power steering went off while I was driving it. The dealership was closed so I did not bring it into the dealer until two days ago. Since the car started up and showed no battery icon or display message, they could not find out what happened. They tested for codes but to no avail. I picked it up yesterday. I decided to drive the car today and sure enough the display turned dark while I was driving. The engine light, battery icon, power light went on. It stalled on the highway and I coasted to the dude of the road. I had to be towed because it would not move when in drive. The dealer is investigating it now
Brand new car with 12 miles on it, check engine light on, will not go over 27 mph on hwy. When try to fill with gas it flushes back out the tank. Already serviced for internal brake switch failure. After picked up, ran fine for 48 hours then ABS warning light came on, a w/exclamation point light came on and message saying..."service stability control" now Jeep is back in shop. Do not feel safe in it at all.
I bought this car brand new and not even a week later it was throwing every single code possible. Tried to drive it to the dealership but it died 17 times including in the middle of traffic.. every warning light was on saying service something different everytime. After having it towed to the dealership with exactly 300 miles on it they printed a sheet with 35+ codes that the car was showing. Its been over a week and after checking in they said they have no idea how/if it can be fixed. At this point even if it can be fixed whats to say it won't happen again. Its a serious safety issue!!
