Jeep Cherokee Problems by year

The PTU failed and had to be replaced. We had to wait 6+ weeks for a replacement part due to the high demand for the part because so many of these vehicles have had failures. There is a recall on this part for other Jeep Cherokees but not this particular model. I believe the recall should be investigated for a wider problem to include this Jeep model. Thank you

In late September 2026 the SVC 4WD drive light came on. It went off the next morning and remained off for another week. A week later the light came back on and accompanied by a loud grinding noise from the engine area. I took it to Golling in Detroit and they diagnosed it as a failure of the PTU currently under recall without a fix. They charged me $210 and said it would be reimbursed later after the remedy is developed. Interestingly they did give me a quote of $4,600 to replace the existing PTU with a...

The 4 wheel drive is not usable. The vehicle is available and has been inspected by the dealership. The dealership stated the vehicle could become totally disabled at anytime.

We had a crack in the rear passenger side differential assembly and were told it was unsafe to drive. We had it replaced for about $4500 and were denied reimbursement or financial help from Stellantis. After the repair, we were still experiencing noise issues and were later told that we need to have the drivetrain assembly replaced and were quoted around $2,000 for that work. We found from online research that both problems are related and that it is common in 2019 Jeep Cherokee Ltd. Again we were denied any assistance from Stellantis.
