STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I bought a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited used on July 30, 2024. Through the rest of the year I experienced a short sharp sudden pull from the steering wheel to the right and left. This happens frequently, several times in every drive. I had tires replaces and suspension balanced on March 5, 2025. This did not change the issue. When driving, the vehicle pulls left or right randomly especially at higher speeds. It is scary to be on highway and suddenly be pulled toward another lane. I have no open recalls and my mechanic can not locate the problem. I am very concerned. It is not safe so I do not travel far because of unsolved situation. Please provide a means to solve this 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited V6 issue

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Started car prior to leaving house. When entering car, placed car into run mode. Released parking brake and placed into drive. Service 4WD light came on with. When pulling out of driveway, I made a left turn which the car made a clunk noise in the front end. When driving a little further I topped the hill only doing about 15 mph. Once accelerating down the hill the car shifted and made a loud grinding noise. This prevented the car from traveling any faster. This also resulted in a needed emergency pull over on back road with no shoulder. Car was then parked, turned off for about 2 minutes in traffic. At that point car was restarted with no Service light. I began to accelerate and noise went away. Further driving brought light back on and off but no noise at this time. I have a concern this could happen at highway speeds resulting in a unessarcery car accident. There seems to be a high fail rate with these cars and the PTU. I would highly recommend extending the safety recall to all Jeeps with this brand PTU.

Stuck on the side of the road with cars driving by. Since the Jeep wouldn't move it was difficult to ensure I was completely off the road. Called AAA, towed Jeep to repair shop where a catastrophic failure of the rear differential and transfer case was noted. We were in the process of trading the Jeep in due to multiple issues noted during the last service inspection, including corrosion near snap ring of rear differential.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
While diving on interstate 435 at highway speed the PTU failed on the vehicle while crossing a long bridge with no significant shoulder to pull over to. Driver had to coast the vehicle to the end of the bridge creating a safety hazard due to reduced speed, eventually pulling over on to shoulder after the bridge. Vehicle would not move and actually started to roll backward while in gear. The safety of the driver and all others traveling on the road behind the vehicle were put at risk due to the vehicle becoming inoperable at interstate speeds. Power Transfer Unit failed and is still in place on vehicle awaiting repair. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and remains there awaiting repair. The PTU was inspected by a mechanic at the dealership. There was no warning prior to the failure of the part.
