While driving my vehicle, the check engine light came on after driving for about 10 minutes. It remained on and I called the dealer and they said that I should bring the vehicle in to be checked. They looked at the check engine light and said it was probably because the gas cap was not on properly. I do not have a gas cap so the turned it off and said I should be ok. It came on again and they said they would have it checked further. After further investigation the discovered a loose flap associated with the cruise control and adjusted the flap. I was told if it came on again it would need to be replaced. The light came on again and I took the vehicle in to have it replaced. It has not yet be

I was driving the vehicle in heavy traffic, at the speed of 1-3 mph, then stopped at a stoplight, when the hood latch spontaneously disengaged, allowing the hood to pop open. There was seemingly no reason this should have happened. I was traveling on smooth pavement and didn’t hit a bump or anything else that would have jarred the hood latch. I was also nowhere near the hood release button, as both of my hands were on the steering wheel, and there was nothing else that could have accidentally triggered the button while the vehicle was in motion. While the vehicle’s safety system alerted me to the hood opening, it automatically limited the vehicle’s speed to about 1 mph, which nearly prevente

On October 1, 2026, at approximately 1,968 miles, my 2026 Jeep Cherokee experienced a serious powertrain failure. I began driving home from work and the vehicle initially moved without severe shaking. While traveling on the highway at approximately 70 mph and then accelerating uphill, the vehicle progressively lost power and began shuddering violently. The check-engine light began flashing while the red Electronic Throttle Control warning remained on screen. The vehicle appeared to enter a limp mode and I had significant difficulty maintaining speed and climbing the hill. A highway patrol officer followed me with his lights and siren and with his escort I was able to safely reach the next hi

September 14, 2026Fuel/Propulsion System

When i pulled into my garage the fuel gauge read 20 miles remaining and the needle was still in the yellow. The next morning when I got in my car it wouldn't start. Out of gas. Upon putting in a gallon of gas, the vehicle started and the gauge read "low". This is the second time this has happened. The first time the car was in motion on a busy street. This is a major safety issue.
