the car, brand new from Nissan. At the time they replaced an engine part and assured me the matter had been taken care of. Since then, Nissan has issued multiple recalls related to the Stop/Start system, and now I have brought it to the auto shop again. These two instances of complete loss of motive power, stop/start system fault, and severe engine shaking in a new car are severe safety hazards that could have resulted in a car accident in active highway traffic. I had the vehicle towed to a Nissan dealership for repair work and have opened a case (#57211908) with Nissan Consumer Affairs.

loss of vehicle control. Other Jeep Cherokee owners have reported similar PTU failures, including incidents involving wheels locking while driving. These reports raise concerns about a potentially widespread safety defect. I contacted Jeep Customer Care on [redacted], under case numbers [redacted] and [redacted], requesting assistance with PTU replacement. Jeep denied coverage based on my vehicle's VIN, despite the reported symptoms and safety concerns. On [redacted], Firestone provided a repair estimate of $7,143. I was also informed that the replacement PTU is on manufacturer backorder due to high demand. I have incurred more than $500 in rental vehicle expenses while attempting to address this issue. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether premature PTU failure in 2017 Jeep Cherokee vehicles presents a safety defect, particularly concerning potential wheel locking and loss of vehicle control. I am also requesting review of existing recalls, manufacturer knowledge, and whether additional safety action is warranted. I can provide repair estimates, diagnostic reports, photographs, and Jeep correspondence.
