2016 jeep cherokee 4WD

Asked by GuruL98KL Mar 20, 2019 at 08:24 AM about the 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4WD

Question type: General

This past weekend I drove off the side of the road and was hung up on the edge  of the road. My jeep was in "snow" mode.  When I tried to back out the front wheel on the drivers side (which was on ice) would spin, and the rear wheel on the passenger side would spin, (but because of the way the jeep was hungup , there was no weight on this rear passenger side wheel) and it would just spin.  The front wheel on the passenger side and rear wheel on the drivers side would not spin. Bottom line I needed to be towed out. Why wouldn't all 4 wheels have torque and spin to pull the vehicle out.    

1 Answer

Unless your Jeep has locking (or limited slip) differentials it will do this.
