In owners’ own words
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseFiled with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the electrical system. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.
I leased a 2019 Jeep Cherokee on may 23,2018. On four occasions since that time, the car's battery light comes on and the car stalls out. The incidents have happened while in motion when slowing down (less than 10 miles per hour) the car was in a Jeep dealership for several days this month, but they were unable to determine the cause of…
Vehicle battery died while driving. Has happened 3 times. Happens at low speeds. Power steering is turned off and you must turn car off and turn back on. Very danergous because you can't turn your steering wheel when it is dying so easily could be hit
The vehicle's infotainment system started to intensly malfunction while the vehicle was stationary. Multiple functions started to malfunction simultaneously including the radio, air conditioning, and windshield wipers. The infotainment system would also randomly turn off and turn back on.
I was stopped at a red light, waiting to turn right as I yielded to other traffic. I was slowly moving forward when my battery light flashed and my car stalled out and started rolling backward. I was in a lot of traffic, so I had to put my flashers on. A man offered to push me to the side of the road.
The car stalls while driving for no apparent reason. The engine turns off and there is no power on the dashboard. This will happen regardless of oil levels, even though the car has always had the proper oil level. It takes about 5 minutes to turn on again when you are in the middle of the street/freeway with traffic behind.
