2016 Jeep Cherokee Fuel system Problems

“The shifter light came on on 04/01/2021. It remained on the entire trip home from my school of employment. I noted this is a popular problem with this model. Previously, I had very scary problems with acceleration several times and this is documented in an ongoing suit that has not been resolved.”

“Shortly after fueling my vehicle my vehicle will lose all acceleration. It has been a problem since the car was first purchased and continues with 30,000 miles. It occurs about 70% of the time after fueling. The most recent occourances caused me to stall on a major roadway. I was nearly hit by a trailer. In order for me to gain power again I must shift turn the car off shift to park and then restart the car..”

“Mileage mpg is nowhere near epa sticker displayed on Jeep when purchased. Perhaps this is due to mechanical problems? (see tranny slippage report) same trip, same/similar driving conditions, no stop-and-go traffic, flat-ish highway, no wind, hot weather [I.e. Less windage], should average about ~28mpg, but average is ~20mpg. Also, average mpg is dropping (I.e. Was ~26mpg ... Then 24mpg ... Then 20mpg.)”

“Several times in the past 3 months (6-8 times), without warning, the car shuts off. The engine completely stops regardless of in motion or accelerating from a stop. It has happened each way. It shuts off, and the vehicle computer provides a message that you must be in park to start the vehicle. I shift to park and it starts up again. When it shuts off the power steering goes and you cannot control the direction of the vehicle. There are no symptoms and no warning but I see enough of the same complaint that I am reporting it. …”

“Vehicle, while in motion, stalls and engine shuts off at any speed. Being told oil burns too quickly in these vehicles and this is a safety feature the car has although it has almost cost me multiple serious/potentilly fatal collisions with my infant children in the vehicle. No oil indicator has ever turned on indicating oil level is low. Had same issue with this car at 15,000 miles in which engine was completely replaced but now is doing the same thing as before. This is a well documented issue amongst jeeps - why has there not been a recall? …”
