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 🤷♂️
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.
Most likely you PTU actuator has failed. If you are not covered by warranty, find a good car shop with some background on these jeeps. Replace the actuator is not the worse part, the problem is the labor to take the PTU apart though
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.
@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!
@@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 😭.
@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.
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.
Yo tengo un Cherokee latitud 2019 y tengo el mismo problema y tengo que llevarlo al dealer y ya no tiene garantía tiene 38,000 millas mi carro esos carros salieron defectuosos de fábrica y nadie nos puede ayudar se tiene que pagar mucho dinero si yo hubiese sabido que esos carros dan tanto problema nunca hubiera comprado un carro de esos son basura los carros jeep Cherokee latitud
Oh my god! Its not a domestic! Chrysler (hence Jeep) is owned by Fiat. Those Cherokees are Alfa Romeos. And the Italians have never EVER built a reliable car. They just don't.
I went to the jeep dealer, they said I have a recall, the system was upgraded and the problem solved 👍🏼

@@deslauriersadventures Did you continue to drive the Jeep while waiting on the part?
@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
Yes. It ended up being the PTU.
@@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…
@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.
We’re out of warranty.
I’ll probably end up doing it myself after they diagnose…
@LIOverdrive hopefully it's a recall unit. From what I understand, it's a fairly big project.
How much to fix it
@feat.shanika It was a recall item, so there was no cost to me. 👍
all domestic cars aren't great unless you are a "car guy" and knows your way around the inside out of the car.
I can still drive it right
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.

@RobertWill-uq3iv I think they are now owned by Stellantis, probably even worse than Fiat! Sad, really. Jeep used to be good.
You talked to.much and didn't said was the problem was.
@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. 👍
