What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2017 jeep cherokee. While the contact's spouse was driving 65 MPH, the service shifter warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated independently and then shifted into park independently. The vehicle became uncontrollable, spun around several times, and crashed into a tractor trailer. The contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy. The contact's spouse sustained a bruised knee and a concussion, but did not seek medical attention.
While driving this vehicle made a right hand turn and accelerated uphill. The car died and lost all systems including steering and limited braking. I took vehicle to dealer and found out this was due to low oil. This happened twice within 4 months. No oil indicator ever appeared in either instance. Said it was a safety feature to save engine but apparently not human lives. It as scary..I do not trust this vehicle and why is it consuming so much oil.
