SVC 4WD @ 39,000 MILES! Jeep Cherokee.

[@geraldzimmerman6690]

Same thing happened to me. Had to make a 500 mile trip so I pulled the fuse to the PTU power transfer unit (fuse 10)so the dinging wouldn't drive me crazy. I Googled the problem and the fuse idea came from someone who also dealt with this problem. Dealership says the PTU module is bad. One is on order and under warranty...thankfully! $1400 item.

I have one with 101k mi. The 3.2l seems to have alot of oil blow-by. Just did the oil cooler and spark plugs on her and the whole upper manifold was coated in oil. Thought there was a problem with the pvc valve so I replaced it and cleaned the manifold. Drove about 50 mi took it apart and still coated in oil. I guess it’s just a pentastar thing 🤷‍♂️

How much to fix it

[@deslauriersadventures]

@feat.shanika It was a recall item, so there was no cost to me. 👍

[@jamess3532]

Our 2021 with 36000 miles has the warning light and is currently at the dealership. Bad PTU , none in the supply chain, on back order with no ETA for the part. No loaner, and I am without a car. Not happy! If the dealership doesn't produce a car by the end of the weekend this is going to get real ugly, real quick. 1st and last Jeep I'll ever buy.

[@deslauriersadventures]

@jamess3532 I had to wait 3 weeks for the PTU to show up at the dealership, then another week to get it scheduled for installation. I'm with you, though! I was a HUGE, Jeep guy before, but I'm not happy with this one. I hope everything works out with you!

[@jamess3532]

@@deslauriersadventures Did you continue to drive the Jeep while waiting on the part?

[@deslauriersadventures]

@jamess3532 Yes. The dealership gave the green light to drive it while waiting for parts.

@@deslauriersadventuresshit I had that light on since I bought the car 8-9 months ago and haven’t gotten it looked at and put another 14k miles on it 😭.

Did you get it fix my jeep light turn on svc 4wd

[@deslauriersadventures]

Yes. It ended up being the PTU.

[@LIOverdrive]

@@deslauriersadventureshow much was the PTU? We have a 2019 Trailhawk just hit 39000 miles and the svc 4wd light just started to come on and off…

[@deslauriersadventures]

@LIOverdrive Mine was covered by warranty. I would recommend having the dealership diagnose it, and then they would tell you if it's covered by warranty/recall.

[@LIOverdrive]

We’re out of warranty. I’ll probably end up doing it myself after they diagnose…

[@deslauriersadventures]

@LIOverdrive hopefully it's a recall unit. From what I understand, it's a fairly big project.

[@oeshins]

I can still drive it right

[@deslauriersadventures]

I did. Probably wouldn't drive it for a super long time, though. Some of the symptoms of a bad PTU are not just the 4wd/awd not working, but the Jeep can actually go into neutral and roll away. That's what I've read anyway.

[@ConfusedOrca-ih8uy]

You talked to.much and didn't said was the problem was.

[@deslauriersadventures]

@ConfusedOrca-ih8uy That's true, I do talk too much. Also, in this video, I didn't know what the issue was. I do cover it in a separate video. 👍
