| Description of the problem | 2016 jeep cherokee approx. 58,000 miles began shutting down while exiting the parking garage, stalled out several times and steering and all control of the vehicle was lost. Took it to the shop and after running diagnostic was told that nothing could be found to be wrong with the vehicle. Did not drive the vehicle for a week and when it was driven again began displaying the same problems with complete shut down. After some investigation on this web site and others, i found that this is a common problem with the 2016 jeep cherokee due to the built in kill switch to protect the engine when the oil is low. I checked the oil and it was indeed low. Prior to this failure, the vehicle has been well maintained with all recommended oil changes and preventative maintenance. Jeep/chryslers solution to the problem-check your oil more often! This vehicle is dangerous-not only to the driver and passengers but to other vehicles on the roads as the vehicle stops with no warning and could cause major accidents and deaths. They need to be taken off of the roadways |
