CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2019 Cherokee is racking up engine complaints for suddenly shutting down while driving. But the problem could possibly be related to the increasingly defective 9-speed transmission which suffers from hard shifts, lurching problems, and a wiring harness defect that can cause sudden shutdowns or an unexpected shift into neutral.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The transmission takes far too long to downshift when called upon for a quick drop in gears. When driving at highway speeds or even normal city speeds, when you need to change lanes for a quick pass of another vehicle and push the accelerator to the floor, the vehicle is left waiting for 2 to 3 seconds for a downshift with only coasting power, no acceleration. This lag time for a downshift & application of power clearly needs to be addressed because it is hardly safe or reasonable.
