Hello and welcome to just answer. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will assist you today. I am sorry you are having this issue but hopefully I can help. Which engine do you have in your Cherokee? The 3.2 V6 or the 2.4 Multiair engine?

Ok I thought so. I am a shop foreman at a Jeep dealer. Those engines have a valve train system that is operated by engine oil pressure. If the oil gets low, stalling and other issues will happen. Before doing anything else, check the oil level and let me know if it is low.

My car jerks as I take off from a stop light. Yesterday my car died mid drive but we made 2 stops in about 5 minutes so the car was turned off and on about 3 times within 10 minutes. Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? Jeep Cherokee 2014 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Cherokee yourself? What have you tried so far? I was just going to try and recharge the battery but I’m thinking that’s not the problem Mechanic's Assistant: Have you tested the battery with a voltmeter? And can you see if it's leaking or not? Nothing is leaking but I have no. I was thinking of going to an autozone and have them test the battery Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? I’m not sure. I really dont know anything about cars.
