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.

This is the 2nd time the 2019 Jeep Cherokee completely lost power and shut off while driving. All warning dash lights came on after pulling off the road put in park and restart. Warning says tran need svc. Acc/fcw limited functionality. Frontend and rear collision disabled. The shifter is loud and clunky when putting in gear. Dealership said when it happened 3months ago there was nothing they could find wrong. Please help B4 it shuts off and someone gets hurt. Thank you
