2015 Jeep Cherokee SUV 2WD

July 2021. 28,000 miles! Service 4WD light went on. My 4WD stopped working. Jeep Service said we needed new PTU. Expensive! Cannot afford to fix this. I am afraid to drive in the snow without 4WD.

I’m following up from my previous complaint #11446148. They replaced body control module, radio frequency hub, ignition switch, key fob to ignition switch to resolve a no crank, no power issue. While at the dealership, we were told the Powertrain Control module needed a reprogram per recall W20. Now the dealership is saying the traction and ABS lights are on and the ABS module won’t recognize the VIN number. This is a 2015 jeep. There is an obvious manufacturers flaw in their design configuration for all of these computers modules to fail. The pcm reprogram recall seems to have created addition electronic errors that now are estimated at over 3000$ in repairs. Please investigate these issues. My car has been in the shop since October 19, 2021 which is almost 4 months. These repairs are extreme for a 6 year old vehicle.

I keep getting a "service shifter" alarm intermittently. When this happens it kills my speedometer, and disables the different drive modes available to me. Repairs have been unable to locate the fault, nor has the dealer any good reasoning why. Alarm will go away if I pull over, shut off the car, and open the door. Upon restarting the car it usually goes away for a day or more, but it always comes back. It seems to be worse when it gets colder, and the car has been running longer.

Transmission will lag, it will jump when you step on accelerator.

My PTU failed. I was at a stop sign when my vehicle went into neutral and refused to move. It did finally shift into 4wd and the svc 4wd light came on. I am told this is not covered by the previous PTU recall by Jeep.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that her vehicle showed no failures until she was asked to take the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train). The contact stated that a week after picking up her vehicle from the dealer while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the dealer. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken back to the same dealer three times within three weeks for the same failure. The contact was informed that the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. Additionally, the contact was informed that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure and a complaint was filed. The contact was awaiting a resolution from the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 175,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart the vehicle. The failure recurred multiple times. The contact mentioned that the "Stop/Start function won't work" warning message illuminated. The contact mentioned that once the vehicle was able to operate another vehicle crashed into the vehicle. A police report was filed. The air bags did not deploy. The contact stated that there were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed to an auto shop. The dealer was not notified of the failure and the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the service 4-wheel drive warning message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the PTU replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Service shifter light is on all the time. Not sure why or what is happening. There is a notification on the dash that just says "service shifter' and all the lights are red by the gear shifter.

Loss of power to all things electrical 10/10/2022. My son was left stranded in Memphis as a result, leaving him in a dangerous situation. The car was towed to a jeep/Chrysler dealership in collierville, TN on 10/19/2021. I’ve attached the invoices below and of the parts they’ve replaced. Before beginning work the dealership was unable to release the emergency brake x 2 days. It’s is January 4, 2022 & the car is still at the dealership still with no power. Their next suggested part is an ignition switch that is on back order. I’ve read several other reports concerning power loss abruptly in the jeep 2015 model. There were no warning lamps or symptoms of failure preceding the incident. Please evaluate the volume of complaints associated with this particular problem as I’ve read 100s of similar issue with this model vehicle.

Screen said Service Shifter while driving, all gears lit up red.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with the transmission shifter warning message appearing on the instrument panel. Initially, the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who performed minor repairs to the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle to another independent mechanic where they diagnosed the vehicle with a defective shifter cable alignment. The dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at speeds of 20 to 35 MPH, the vehicle would jolt when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear. Also, when the failure occurred the vehicle would not properly accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also indicated that while in park, with or without the parking brake set, the vehicle rolled away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V529000 (Power Train). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 83,000.

After completing NHTSA 20V-343 on June 11, 2020 we are now experiencing loss of the 4WD system. This is known with 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokees that did not have their PTUs replaced but just flashed after damage may have already occurred to the splines. The dealer did not inspect the PTU, they only reprogrammed the DTCM. I am confident in my research and vehicle inspection that replacing the PTU will restore the 4WD system and eliminate the C14A7-97 DTC. Reprogramming a computer will not remove any physical damage already done within the drive train system.

Looked into the spare tire compartment and found standing water in the compartment and in one of the side trays. No evidence of water anywhere else. Tire dealer took the compartment a part and could not find evidence of leaking anywhere else. Ran water to make sure the sunroof drains were not clogged. They were not. Checked all window sills and hatch sill, no leaks. Tech looked for any recall. There is a recall R67 for my year of Jeep and NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V826. Called 2 dealers and said there was no recall for my Jeep. The information on the recall is exactly how my leak is happening. I called the MOPAR recall line and they said the same thing as the dealers. The recall says "A short circuit in the module increases the risk of a fire." MOPAR said to go to a dealer and have them check and call them back. I have an appointment next Monday morning. Thanks.

Car has been jerking almost immediately after buying it brand new. They supposedly "fixed" the problem but jerking has not stopped. it hesitates when trying to accelerate most times and when it shifts into gear it thrusts/jerks so hard. Vehicle has stalled on me numerous times in traffic while coming to a stop. very afraid to even drive it. It shifts into neutral while driving or turning. it completely shuts off sometimes while in traffic or turning. cars had to slam on brakes to prevent from hitting me. this happened on several occasions. had to get the motor mounds and transmissions mounds replaced. Driving down the highway changing lanes wheel felt like it locked up. getting off the interstate was very hard and scary. steering wheel would not let me turn completely. get it home after wrestling with it. turn it off, to see what the problem was thinking I need power steering. tried turning it bac on NOTHING! get it towed, needed a water pump, but found that my motor and transmission mounds needed replaced. after complaining about the jerking movement for so long dealership said it wasn't the transmission and it wasn't going to be covered under warranty. I put too much money into this what supposed to been a new car to have so many problems from the jump. why is their not a recall on this whole vehicle????? Have all these issues but no recalls but 1 has been made. or I should say campaign. all these complaints about this particular car but no remedies for it. not even when they "update" "fix" it. too may problems. this is the worst car I've had. used cars didn't give me this much trouble. I need to be reimbursed for all the problems i should not have had from a new car. and not covered under warranty at all. clearly it has transmissions issues and engine issues. just wasting my time going to get these "fixes" for it not to be fixed not once. the date below is not the first time. it's only the most recent that my car has stalled, jerked and shut down. horrible car

Pressing on the gas and the car does not move. Randomly stops and I would have to turn it off and back on in order for it to drive.

While in first and second gears, the car doesn't seem to know which gear to shift to. It jerks in and out of both gears and is even worse on inclines. Happens mostly under 15mph.

Transmission control module and speed control I couldn't exsellerate while driving in traffic and my car would lock up in neutral and wouldn't allow me to turn off the engine and it was flashing all sorts of problems at once, it would also jerk when I shifted the mechanic first told me I needed a battery and then said I needed a flash update and when none of those problems resulted in fixing my car he then said my Transmission control module was bad so now my car is inoperable so I took it to the dealership and I'm waiting for results. When I'm driving on the freeway I sometimes lose speed or my car would shift into neutral and then jerk when I try to put it back in driving and at times it wouldn't start or become difficult to slow down at an intersection or stop light, my husband is disabled so when it jerks it causes him to hit his head on the passenger side window because he has lost a lot of motor control on his right side due to having a severe stroke it's unsafe for us to drive this car not knowing if it's going to stall, jerk, speed-up or shift into another gear or not completely stop at an intersection because it becomes hard to press the break.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the emergency brake warning light, the ABS warning light, and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the recall repair for NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train) was completed however, the failure had been recurring. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, she heard an abnormal sound, and the warning message "Service Four Wheel Drive" illuminated. The contact continued to drive the vehicle to her residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the Power Transfer Unit and emergency brake had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that they could not assist, and she would be responsible for the cost of the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 122,000.

The Transmission is making a grinding noise when I attempt to shift it. It will not go into any gear. This happened without any incidents. I was attempting to start it from inside my garage to leave.

Seat is become loose and has to be hand tightened on. a regular basis. Taken to dealer they say it’s not under my warranty and that the insulation trim is worn out that’s why it’s becoming loose. They are saying at the dealership and with Chrysler that it is not a safety issue and therefor can’t be put under the manufacture warranty

Nearly all of the warning lights came on suddenly at the same time. Service parking brake, service transmission, service antilock braking system, service forward collision system and more. The vehicle then starts to have trouble shifting and sometimes acceleration is gone completely. I had to coast over to shoulder on the freeway multiple times. Turning the vehicle off and restarting seems to help somewhat and allowed me to get the vehicle home. Sometimes acceleration is jumpy (slowing down then speeding up again). I have had the vehicle serviced 3 times for this issue. First time they stated it was fixed with a software update. Second time they replaced a sensor inside the transmission, and the third time they replaced the PTU. All of these repairs and the $1,000+ I have paid for the repairs have done nothing to address the issue.

My liftgate tries to operate while I am driving. I have taken my jeep in to the dealer 3 times for the same issue. They have thrown parts at it but never fixed it. I believe this is an electrical problem because it only happens when the weather is hot and inside vehicle temp is hot. The lift gate will operate without expectation or try to, even when I am driving. When I am driving, A warning will show on the dash "shift vehicle to park to operate liftgate" while I am driving. If the vehicle has been parked for a while and the internal temperature is hot,, I can touch the sensor door handle to unlock the door and the lift gate will operate on its own and open. The lift gate does not do this when the internal vehicle temperature is not hot. The lift gate will also begin operating itself while being parked with the vehicle running - if the internal temperature is hot and the weather is hot: I can be parked with the engine running and the lift gate will operate itself up and down sometimes multiple times. (Like in the bank drive through - has happened multiple times). I am not ever touching anything that could have begun this operation. Dealership keeps telling me that it is not a known issue but there are multiple videos on YouTube about the lift gate operation of this vehicle and they all say it requires pulling the fuse out and then putting it back in to reset. This is an electrical issue, it has to be. There are 2 other recalls that involve the lift gate modules for this vehicle - the VIN for my specific vehicle says it is not involved in those recalls- but I cannot believe this - this issue has been ongoing since the vehicle was 1 yr old. The dealership cannot seem to find the problem and is, at this point, just throwing parts at it, which is not fixing it and only costing money. For some reason they refuse to look at the wiring or relay modules. I believe this is a serious safety issue and worry that it will never get repaired.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the transmission would erroneously shift to neutral causing the vehicle to reduce speed. The vehicle had to be restarted to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transaxle range sensor wiring harness was faulty and needed to be replaced. Additionally, the transmission module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V529000 (Power Train). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 120,000.

Purchased 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Dec 1, 2020 & Sept 2021 discovered something wrong with transmission, mechanic researched jeep & said previously there was a RECALL- TCM- transfer case reflash module, dealership/ manufacturer will not response to my calls to help with this problem.

1. My car has fully turned off while driving, on two separate occasions. The first time was a slow crawl and it shut off. The second time I was going roughly 30mph and it shut off. Both times, it shut off (including the instrument cluster, entertainment console, lights, etc.) after a couple of seconds everything came back on, but I had to put it into drive and recycle the key to get the engine to start back up. 2. When the car fully shuts off there is no way to accelerate, imagine if you pull out in front of someone and it shuts off, and you are stuck in the middle of an intersection? 3. The dealer has not been able to reproduce the issue (if you look up online, many people are having this same issue for the Jeep Cherokee). 4. No 5. No warning lamps or messages. Everything just completely shuts off and goes black.

factory headlights are terrible. almost impossible to drive at night and really bad when its raining. talked with local dealer and they said there is no problem. start/stop does not work also.

THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT POPPED ON ONLY AFTER HAVING IT FOR 2 MONTHS.

Incident occurred with no prior warning on a Thursday. Vehicle took several attempts to crank, then rough shift into reverse, once going forward power loss experienced and vehicle would not accelerate above around 20 mph in heavy highway traffic. Check engine light and service transmission light appeared on display at that time. Vehicle driven until home and safely parked. Dealership contacted for repair and stated they could not get vehicle in until Monday. Subsequent attempt to crank vehicle required multiple attempts before engine cranked, rough down shift from park to reverse and gear shift stuck in neutral position not allowing shift into drive, parking brake engaged automatically. Vehicle now undriveable, attempted to run OBD2 codes, code scanner unable to communicate with system, scanner checked on another vehicle and found to be functioning properly. Now unable to get vehicle to dealership without flatbed tow truck.

Rocker bearings failed in the rear of the head. This impacted the right side intake camshaft. They replaced the rear intake and rear camshaft, rear and front rockers and also valve cover gaskets and upper intake seals. The only indication of a problem was a tapping sound coming from the engine. No warning lights on the console. If this had gone UN repaired the engine could have seized at any time while traveling causing an accident. The repair technician indicated that the new parts would not fail the way the original equipment failed. Chrysler has refused to pay for the repair.

When driving on the highway the transmission lost power, the car went into neutral and lost all power steering. Restarted the car and it did it again while traveling on the highway. No warning or system warnings were given. When we went to the dealership they said the transmission/computer software needed updated and this usually happens after 100,000 miles. They said this happens routinely. Was very dangerous when traveling at 75 mph.

The automatic 9 sped transmission has not been hesitating after backing up and then putting it in drive to move forward. Also when driving up hill the transmission fails to shift into another gear and the RPMS increases. While stopped at a traffic light the transmission hesitates causing me to be concerned with being hit from behind. Then when accelerating the transmission does not shift and the again the RPMS stay at a high rate. I feel the with the erratic behavior of the transmission is puts and an other at a safety risk. The problem has not ben confirmed by the dealer and has not been inspected. There have been not warning lights or messages to indicate a problem.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that at start-up, the "transmission, service required" warning message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact proceeded to drive the vehicle with the warning message displayed and while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to park the vehicle and had it towed to an independent mechanic. The mechanic could not diagnose the failure and had to tow the vehicle to another independent mechanic who was also unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was then notified of the failure and acknowledged that the failure was a known issue; however, there were no recalls on the VIN. Upon investigation, the contact linked her failure to a defective PCM (Powertrain Control Module). The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

Vehicle shows parking brake on when I enter. It has never done this before. Drove down street to stop and put car in park, parking park comes on automatically? This started today Sept. 7, 2021. On interstate going 70 mph vehicle bucked when I accelerated. On same trip, not in cruise control vehicle RPM's went up and down by itself. Proceeded to slow lane to stop. Once stopped I put car in park (no parking brake showed up) pushed on gas pedal to watch RPM's and transmission took its time coming back down. Left side of road hitting gas got to 45mph and vehicle bucked. Made load noise and bucked. The "bucking started on my 1st trip out of town, all loaded up for a work event. Going 65 mph down to exit ramp, accelerate and it bucked. Kids looked at me and said, "Mom this better not have a transmission problem like the old car." (GMC Envoy 4x4 bought new trans & then engine needed to be replaced, but went car shopping) Took vehicle back to CarMax and they said the didn't notice a thing.They said you know the wheels make a lot of noise because they are big. Also, told me not to accelerate so fast! What? I bought this vehicle on Mother's Day 2019. Went to Maryland to purchase it. Found out later that Maryland doesn't do inspections every year. Too it to my local CarMax and they gave it new brakes. I have an appointment with a Jeep certified dealer mechanics department on Sept. 24, 2021. I will follow up with another note. I hope the transmission gets replaced because the problems I mentioned are on a forum that Jeep experts monitor and comment on as I see their icon/symbol. Thank you

Jeep Trailhawk RPM's dial up and down while driving with no advanced speed. Vehicle does not move from a stop position without "kicking" or "bumping" you forward. While on interstate, going posted speed without cruise control but maintaining speed, vehicle "bucks." While driving in neighborhoods car has difficulty going from 25mph to 35mph. From stop sign to accelerate, vehicle does't move, or goes slowly with foot pressed down on gas pedal, then "bucks/bumps." Coming off from the interstate to an exit whilst vehicle is slowing down around exit curve then accelerate back up, vehicle "booms', loud "pop." The RPM's can not stay still on vehicle. When slowly moving traffic it does this too. If inching forward, it does't want to. At some points it accelerates forward when I did not want to go.

Car stalls multiple times over the last month. With zero warning it died in front of my wife in ongoing traffic. Multiple error messages are on dash. Restarts when shutting car off then back on.

When my service 4wheel drive light came on I took my 2015 Jeep Cherokee in for service. I was told that my PTU needs to be replaced. I read online that there was a recall on these. I am wondering why my Jeep is not covered by the recall. Clearly I have a faulty part with only 72,000 on my vehicle

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE TH with 75xxx miles. Currently covered under Mopar extended warranty for used vehicles. When driving this vehicle you experience a hard shift from a stop/ yield slow down, this so violent that it will spin the tired and push you back into your seat. There is also a large amount a lag that happens, resulting in almost a loss of power to the wheels. This has put me in unsafe situations where I needed the vehicle to move in order to avoid a other drivers and hazard. This is a known issue as there are a large about of others reporting here. I have had this Jeep in the shop under warranty work 4 times now, first they said a update of the ppm/tcm would fix the issue, then a new valve body was going to fix it. however none of these have helped. I can only assume they will attempt to put a new transmission in on my upcoming service appointment. However I am not confident this will be the final solution. As previously stated this a a wide spread known issue with many reports. However there are still so many dealing with this issue that Jeep and Mopar should step up and fix, for free. No one has been injured or killed due to this yet but I am sure one day that will change unless there is a definitive fix for the 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE transmission hard shift.

When you are stopped at a light waiting to go, the 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk delays going. Sometimes when it is in second gear it stays there too long before shifting.Sometimes the 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk jerks into gear as it feel like someone has run into the back of the truck. Today following start up, putting the 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk into reverse, no power at all. The dash lit up stating," 4 Wheel drive system temporarily unavailable, Service transmission , Service parking brake", the MIL light on the cluster panel is lit, the drive light is blinking on the dash and on the gearshift. I was in fear for my safety as I had to restart the 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk 3 times to travel 11 miles. I drove with my emergency flashers and had to pull off to the side of the road to restart the truck.The 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk is also jerking into gear when I put it in reverse. There was a recall for the Power Transfer Unit that involved a software update that was completed 1/2020. Following the software update, the truck rand smooth for approximately 8 months, then the transmission started to slip again. Although this problem was never resolved.I recently received a notice from Jeep that the Power Transfer Unit warranty has been extended to 8 years /150,000 miles. This 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk only has 48,000 miles on it. I have a pending service appointment for 8/30/2021. I am going to have the dealer replace that part hoping it will improve the safety of the vehicle.

While driving on the freeway, with cruise control set at approximately 69 MPH, my 2015 Jeep Cherokee warning system luminates the Service Transmission and Check Engine lights. Traveling approximately another 2 miles to the nearest exit off the freeway, I slow the Jeep down as I exit the freeway ramp. The Jeep has very little, if any, power to make it through the traffic light crossing into the intersection. With little power other vehicles narrowly miss me from being run into because I am not able to move out of lane(s). This is the second time this has happened. Most recently I received my Jeep back from being serviced for this event 3 days ago and 62 miles. They dealership service department was not able to identify or replica the issue. This service transmission failure is a hazard and it could cause serious injury or property damage because there is no warning and the vehicle losses power not allowing the vehicle to be driven out of the way from traffic.

When I accelerate from a stop or slow rate of speed my car does not accelerate immediately. It is as if the car temporarily goes into neutral. This has caused a few near misses as I have started out into traffic and not been able to fully get out of other cars way. Several times cars have had to break hard or swerve to avoid crashing into my car.

Service shifter warning message displayed and all indicator lights are lit at shifter. Transmission would not shift out of current gear. Problem reset after turning off vehicle. Has now happened 2 other times. All within the last 10 days.

When I go to put the the vehicle in park and reverse it wants to shift really hard, not really a shift but more of a jerk. It doesn’t happen every time but it does 50 percent of the time. There was this one time where i went to go put it in reverse and it wanted to rev more then usual. When it MAINLY shifts hard is when I first turn it on and start moving a couple feet it wants to fall on its face. We haven’t had any incidents in it yet but I wanted to see if I could get anything done before any. Me and my boyfriend travel a lot and when we are in traffic it has fallen on its face. There is a gas cap light that keeps coming on and I have replaced my gas cap 2 times.

When I purchased the vehicle in 2015 with 5000 miles the check engine light was on and the transmission was replaced and I have always had issues when accelerating and it shifting loudly and more recently check engine light turns off and on.

I have had my vehicle checked out several times over the malfunction of the stop and start system. Several times it has been worked on and looked at. Once they claimed they replaced a part under the hood in Richmond, kentucky. This issue has been going on for over two years. It had been cutting off and not starting back. Now its advanced into a jerking from a hesitation to switch between gears. The malfunction light keeps coming back on. And sometimes it has to be restarted several times just to reset it. It was on 7/30/2021 when someone besides me noticed this issue. But its been doing me this way for last three months.

Car transmission jumps when its starts moving at the beginning makes it feel like someone rear ended the car. This happens Every time. it does not feel safe.

2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited. While driving the vehicle, lost power abruptly and without warning in traffic on 5 occasions between May 2021 and July. Car towed and taken to dealership each time with repair notations indicating short in PDC causing fuse for ignition coils to blow. That was replaced. An additional note when the car failed again indicated an internal short in PCM which was replaced. I've spent thousands of dollars, not to mention the safety issue of stalling in traffic. The last time, I was on a very busy freeway and didn't have enough power to fully move to the shoulder. I counted about 3 near misses with cars about to hit me. I don't have every *Invoice* as they didn't return them all to me but will upload what I do have. This is a serious issue and I'm not getting any resolution with the dealership.

Manual brakes light turn on, brake pedal gets hard, car wouldn’t stop.

Service Shifter lights up on the instrument panel as well as the check engine also stop/start not ready. 4x4 not available exhilarates and UN exhilarates all by its own. Shifts hard and jumps hard when I take off at a stop light don't wanna come out of park unless I take my finger and flip up a plastic thing down inside the shifting housing. And the key fobe won't come out of the key switch. No it hasn't been in a crash yet but it's one looking for a place to happen if jeep don't have a recall. Yes my jeep has been confirmed by the Dodge dealership in Lexington Kentucky. They say that it needs a new shifter put in it I'm taking it to the dealership this coming Thursday

My Jeep Year, Model, and Make have a recall out for the PTU system (within the last year). When I checked my VIN number on here it said My Jeep was not part of the recall. I believe the recall should be extended outside its current limits. Just last week I had to take my Jeep in because my PTU went bad and could have potentially been dangerous if I had not taken it in (loss of power to transmission etc.). On top of that, since according to NHTSA (really FCA), my jeep isn't affected by the recall but clearly it is. So I have to pay to get it replaced out of pocket for a defective unit!

while I was driving a was coming to a complete stop and the jeep stalled on me and said a quick message on the dash about shifting i tried to start it again and it took a second to kick over. Its done this twice today and has been doing it at least once a day. This is a serious problem especially if I happen to be on the highway or going threw an intersection.

While driving home from work. The rear of my vehicle made a sudden shifting forward / jarring effect. Soon after that a notification came up saying "4WD unavailable and a ding lighting saying to service 4WD. Then all went away. My boyfriend called dealership and explained to our service advisor @ New Carlisle CDJR dealer the situation and told us to bring it in today. While driving there the 4WD indicator to service came back on and that 4WD was unavailable again. But at the dealer he could not pull it up on computer. After reminding him of the jarring effect, he decided to test drive it. As soon as a pulled out he knew something was wrong. They put it up on a lift and found the rear differential housing was CRACKED all the way around. I was lucky to be able to get it there without incident! I wonder how many other jeeps are getting ready to explode the rear end like mine and others I have read about! Hopefully FCA will release a recall on this life threatening issue that could cause a fatality!

Hello! My service 4WD light came on in my vehicle. The dealership stated that I need to replace my PTU which will cost me approximately $2200. I researched Jeep and see that there were some recalls regarding this same issue with Jeep Cherokee Limited 2015. I searched my VIN# and there appears to be no pending recalls. I’m asking to speak with someone further regarding my PTU concerns since there was an apparent issues with select models. My vehicle may also be one of those affected. I would appreciate a response. I can reached via email at [XXX] or via phone [XXX]. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Headlights do not point far enough down the road, making it difficult to see while driving at night especially on country roads or when raining.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power causing the vehicle to jerk back and forth and eventually stall. After a few minutes, the contact restarted the vehicle and was able to continue to their destination, however, the failure persisted several times thereafter. The contact noticed after doing an oil change the vehicle would consume a lot of oil and shortly after the oil change check engine warning light would illuminate. The contact checked the oil level and found the level low. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer to have it inspected, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The failure continued and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the failure was diagnosed as a multi-air actuator with the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage 143,000.

My Jeep dashboard goes black, the vehicle stops in the middle of traffic. When I start the vehicle back up and shift it into drive it make a sound like I got rear ended. The transmission light comes on and the vehicle will only go about 20 mph. The check engine lights stays on. This has happened numerous times. The dealership kept the vehicle for 2 weeks, gave it back to me and stated they could not find anything wrong with it.

While driving my jeep forward or in reverse my jeep launches forward very hard. I have to press on the brake abruptly so that I don't hit anything. Also when accelerating my speedometer shows the numbers increasing but my wheels are barely moving then it kicks forward abruptly. When turning or going over bumps I feel a pop in the steering column and sometimes the dashboard icon with the vehicle & squiggly lines under it appears. I told my dealership but the mechanic just said there is nothing wrong with it even though I know there is.

I have to have the PTU replaced because it went. It’s not even 6 years old and there’s been a recall on the PTU for my make and model and year, yet they’re saying not my vehicle. It’s costing thousands of dollars.

No previous issues with the vehicle until this incident. That morning on my way to work my check engine light came on. I called my husband and he said he would check it out that evening. Got to work fine. When I went to go home from work my car was acting strange. The ac or blower and the radio wouldn’t come on at all until after about 15 minutes of driving. About 5 minutes later my brakes wouldn’t work at all trying to stop at a light and I ended up crashing into a car that was completely stopped while going about 35mph. My front collision detection didn’t go off until I was about an inch away from the vehicle and the automatic emergency brake didn’t engage either and normally if a car is turning slowly 30 ft ahead it will slam on the brakes. Nothing worked and I am terrified to continue driving this vehicle.

When I go to pull out of a street The car just stop. I have my feet on the gas but it will not move, once I am in the street and also while in traffic it will not move even when foot on the gas I tried to explain to them at the car dealer where I took it. But I was charged 600 bucks for something else I guess this car is dangerous very dangerous I done almost had so many near missed accidents with this vehicle.

Didn't cause an incident yet but I don't know if it could. The start/stop thing keeps becoming unavailable.

Vehicle shut off while driving, happen twice in the middle of the road. No warning signs. Took to auto shop to tell me its electrical issues, only dealership can fix it but I got charged $220 dollar. Seeing multiple complaint of same issue but there is no recall.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss motive power, without warning. The failure recurred several times. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 83,700.

Driving 70 miles an hour down highway my cars transmission light came on. Lost power to car. Pulled over and restarted car. Drove to side road where again lost all power. Had to sit in a tight blind curve to restart car. With my child in the car. This car is not old and should not have this issue. There are numerous other complaints about the same issue on 2014 and 2015 model. It is actually stated that 2015 has more complaints. And yet, jeep has done nothing to fix it.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITING FOR A WHILE BEFORE PROCEEDING. AFTER APPROXIMATELY A MILE OF DRIVING, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, WAITED FOR A WHILE BEFORE PROCEEDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ODOR OF BURNING ENGINE OIL WITH A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STOPPED TO INSPECT SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

SERVICE TRANMISSION WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING BUT NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE. THEN I HAD THE RECALL NOTICE SOFTWARE UPDATE...LESS THAN A MONTH LATER, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING CAME ON WHILE PARKED AND COULD NOT GET CAR TO START OR SHIFT WHEN IT FINALLY DID START. THEN..ALL OF OF SUDDEN IT WAS FINE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE SERVICE 4WD POPPED UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THERE WAS NO NOISE OR INDICATION OF AN ISSUE UNTIL THE SERVICE NOTIFICATION POPPED UP. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I DESCRIBED THE SITUATION AND WHEN ASKED IF THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE I WAS TOLD YES. I WENT INTO A STORE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON THE NOTIFICATION DID NOT APPEAR. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 9 MILES ON INTERSTATE AND ANOTHER CITY ROAD TO HOME. WHEN I BACKED INTO MY GARAGE THE NOTIFICATION POPPED BACK UP AND I ALSO SAW A FRESH OIL SPOT ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR I SAW THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CASE WAS CRACKED ALL THE WAY AROUND. THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT AND DRIVEN INTERSTATE AND PAVED CITY STREETS. THE MECHANIC WHO DID THE REPAIR FELT THE PART SHOULD HAVE NOT FAILED AND THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A MECHANICAL DEFECT. I DO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART THAT WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED

SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR- WARNING LIGHT APPEARS. ALL OF THE GEAR LIGHTS ARE LIT SIMULTANEOUSLY. THEY WON'T TURN OFF UNTIL I RESTART THE JEEP (2015 CHEROKEE) ONLY TO START A SHORT TIME LATER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND HAS OCCURRED ON STREETS.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE JEEP DIED ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED 2 DAYS (APRIL 4 & 5TH, 2021) IN A ROW. NO WARNING LIGHTS. I HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY AND OPEN THE DOOR TO RESET THE SYSTEM AND THEN IT FINALLY RESTARTED. TIRES PLUS REPORTS NO CODES WHEN DIAGNOSING. WAITING TO HEAR FROM JEEP.

MY CAR JUMPS FORWARD WHILE DRIVING AND REVERSING. RECENTLY BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY CAR JUMPED AND I HIT MY MAILBOX. THE JUMPING IS A BIG JUMP FORWARD THAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE I HIT SOMETHING EVERYTIME. IT JUMPS TYPICALLY EVERY OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE STALLS AND LOOSES POWER. THUMPING IN CERTAIN GEARS. STALLS AND THEN JERKS FORWARD . SOMETIMES DOES NOT WANT TO PICK UP SPEED EVEN WHEN HITTING GAS. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY ON CITY STREETS. RIDES SMOOTH WHEN ON HIGHWAY GOING HIGH SPEEDS. AT LOW SPEEDS JERKS AND STALLS. ALSO GAS TANK LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON NO ONE IS ABLE TO FIX IT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG.

THE OIL COOLING PART BROKE ON MY JEEP CHEROKEE, I NOTICED AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF OIL ON THE DRIVEWAY, BUT NONE OF MY 'ENGINE ISSUE WARNINGS' CAME UP SO IT MUST'VE BEEN IN THE LAST COUPLE MILES BEFORE I NOTICED THE PUDDLE ON MY DRIVEWAY. M Y MECHANIC SAID THAT HE'S SEEN THE PROBLEM ON A FEW CARS AND TRUCKS BEFORE REPAIRING MY JEEP. THE STRANG THING IS THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED. IT TOOK 2 AND 1/2 WEEKS TO GET THE PART, AND HIS PARTS DEALER HAD ORDERED 60. MY JEEP IS 2015, BUT HAS ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT. THE SERVICE CONTRACT HOLDER IS TRYING NOT TO ALLOW THE CLAIM. BUT I WILL USE THE INFORMATION HERE AND ELSEWHERE TO TRY TO CONVINCE THEM OTHERWISE. .

I WAS AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION GETTING READY TO TURN LEFT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE AUTO START CAUTIOUS SYMBOL SHOWED UP ON THE DASH AND THE ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON RIGHT BEFORE MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARDS BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF GETTING HIT. PUT THE JEEP INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER INTO A SHOPPING CENTER AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T LEAKING ANYTHING AND TO GIVE IT TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T SHUT OFF AGAIN. THEN THE NEXT DAY IT WAS SHAKING REALLY BAD IN IDLE AND KEPT THROWING THE SAME AUTO START CAUTION LIGHT ON THE DASH. THEN HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN TAKEN TO MECHANIC SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACK FOR CYLINDER 2 WERE CHANGED BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS.

AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO POP UP EVERY FEW MONTHS. THE JEEP HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED IT IN 2015.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V826000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE) AT ANTIOCH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (105 IL-173, ANTIOCH, IL 60002) HOWEVER, THE WATER SHIELD THAT WAS REPLACED FOR THE LIFTGATE MODULE, MELTED AND DAMAGED THE WIRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS SON NOTIFIED HIM THAT THE LIFTGATE STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANTIOCH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (105 IL-173, ANTIOCH, IL 60002) AND RAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (23 US-12, FOX LAKE, IL 60020) WHERE THE DEALERS INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SENT OUT A THIRD-PARTY INSPECTOR TO INSPECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER MAILED THE CONTACT A LETTER THAT INFORMED HIM THAT FROM THE INSPECTION, THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURE DEFECT FOUND, AND NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THIS JEEP HAS 90K MILES ON IT. WE NOTICED A VERY SEVERE OIL LEAK AND DISCOVERED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING OUT OF THE ENGINE OIL COOLER FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PART TO MALFUNCTION. OIL IS LEAKING ON TO THE MANIFOLD AND ENGINE BLOCK. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE IF IGNORED. THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN BACK-ORDERED AND WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

MY 4WD UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND A LOUD KNOCKING/GRINDING SOUND AND SENSATION OCCURRED. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THERE IS AN ISSUE BUT NO RECALL YET. ONCE AT THE MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THAT MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL EXPLODED AND SHATTERED THE CASE AND THERE WAS FLUID EVERYWHERE. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND HE HAS PERSONALLY SERVICED VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

THE JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAVE A 2015 AND SAYS NO RECALL BUT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT GETS STUCK ON NEUTRAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN I AM PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG. THE CAR TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH THE KIDS IN THE CAR! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!

ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO ROADWAY ACROSS TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT APPROX 45 MPH. THERE WAS A BREAK IN TRAFFIC. I ACCELERATED. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD, BUT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. WOULD ONLY DO ABOUT 3 MPH NO MATTER WHAT I DID WITH THE GAS PEDAL. I NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT IS NORMAL FOR THAT CAR IF YOU DON'T ALLOW IT TO WARM UP. THERE ARE MANY REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE THE CONTROL MODULE. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE REPRODUCED, BUT IS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD. THE HESITATION IS LESS IN WARMER WEATHER. ONCE THE ENGINE WARMS UP, THERE IS STILL A HESITATION, BUT IT IS NOT AS SEVERE.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND LESS THAN A MONTH LATER I WAS ALREADY NOTICING THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIM AS SOON AS I WOULD USE MY TURN SIGNAL. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT A MONTH UNTIL I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOTICEABLY DIM ON BOTH SIDES. I NEEDED TO GET OUT OF MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE SURE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE EVEN ON. WHENEVER I AM DRIVING IN A LOW LIGHT AREA AT NIGHT IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE ERROR MESSAGE DISAPPEARED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHAMPION CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF LANSING (6525 W SAGINAW HWY, LANSING, MI 48917) TO BE DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,833.

TL* THE CONTACT'S SON OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT'S SON PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT-OFF THE VEHICLE. HER SON WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT REMAINED IN THEIR POSSESSION. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED HER SON'S FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V343000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT CALLED ROUTE 1 CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF LAWRENCEVILLE (2700 BRUNSWICK PIKE, LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, NJ 08648) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT HER SON'S VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THE INFORMATION THE DEALER PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS THE CAR HAS BEEN SHOWING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT UNTIL RECENTLY THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN NEUTRAL AND FILED TO SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR. IT MAKES A LOUD CLANG SOUND WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS DOWN AFTER. THE PARKING BRAKE WOULDN'T DISENGAGE, A MESSAGE SAYING "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" APPEARS ON SCREEN. WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND NORMALLY. THERE WAS ANOTHER MESSAGE SHOWING "TRANMISSION SERVICE" WHEN THE CAR WAS ON PARK AND THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND MADE A LOUD ROAR ROUND JERKING FORWARD.

AFTER THE RECALL 20V-343 IN AUG OF 2020 THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE FOLLOWING IN NOVEMBER WHILE DRIVE OVER 55MPH. THE MIL LIGHT CAME ON, COULD FEEL THE POWER TRAIN SWITCHED TO REAR WHEEL DRIVE AND ONCE PULLED OVER THE COMPUTER LOCKED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, THE BRAKE LITE LIT AND THE DISPLAY REPORTED ERROR OF "SERVICE TRANSMISSION". WE COULD NO LONGER SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION. LATER THE DEALER REPORTED METAL SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSFER CASE CALLED PTU ALONG WITH A SUBSTANCE LIKE CLUTCH MATERIAL. ON REPLACEMENT WE WERE CHARGED $3,200+ WITH A DELAY OF SEVERAL MONTHS AND TWO PTUS WERE ORDER AS THE REPLACEMENT DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE SHOP. ON REQUEST TO FCA THEY DENIED THE REIMBURSEMENT AS LISTED IN THE RECALL AS A "FIELD SERVICE" WE SUBMIT THE PAPER WORK IDENTIFYING THE VIN TIED TO THE RECALL, THE SERVICE WORK DESCRIBING THE DAMAGES AND AN IMAGE OF THE DASH CONFIGURATION AT THE TIME REFLECTING THE INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE SOFTWARE PATCH AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL.

PTU IS FAILING AFTER ONLY 30K MILES. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND FITS DESCRIPTION OF OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE 2014 - 2017 MODELS RECALLED WITH ACTIVE DRIVE II.

IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS I START MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE AS USUAL, SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DASH SAYS CANNOT SWITCH GEARS UNLESS IN PARK. THE CAR THEN STALLS AND I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND RESTART ,THE SCARY ISSUE IS THAT I AM SOMETIMES STUCK AND CANT MOVE UNTIL I CAN RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ONLY 57,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE .

TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFTING IN HIGHER GEARS

THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT APPEARED THAT SAID 4WD SYSTEM IS UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED, AND IT STOPPED MORE THAN ONE TIME ONE OF THE TIMES WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT CAUSED TRAFFIC.

WHILE IN MOTION BOTH ON HIGHWAY (~70MPH) OR NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVING (~25MPH), DASH BOARD LIGHTS FLASH, SPEEDOMETERS WIND AND THE ERROR MESSAGE '4WD SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE' COMES ON SCREEN WITH TRACTION WARNING LIGHT AND RED INDICATOR DOT LIGHT. RESIN VOLUME ALSO DIMINISHED. THIS WILL NOT RESET UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF FOR ~5 MINUTES. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WITH SHORT DRIVES OF 15 MINUTES AND DURING LONGER DRIVES OF 1HOUR.

THE DESCRIBED VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL W47 WHEREIN THE PTU SPLINES COULD DEGRADE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE NO MOTIVE POWER AND COULD ROLL AWAY. THE RECALL UPDATED THE SOFTWARE TO ESSENTIALLY INSTRUCT THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE AND ALLOW MOTIVE POWER WITH REAR WHEEL DRIVE. THE RECALL DID NOT CALL FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY PART, JUST A MEANS OF KEEPING THE VEHICLE SAFE ONCE THE PART FAILED. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2020 AND WE TOOK OURS TO FREMONT MOTORS JEEP (WYOMING) AND HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED (RECALL ADDRESSED). ON FEBRUARY 20, 2021, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE FROM WYOMING TO IOWA ON INTERSTATE 90. AS SHE CROSSED FROM SOUTH DAKOTA INTO MINNESOTA, THE PTU FAILED WHICH ALSO LED TO THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVELINE CONTROL MODULE. SHE WAS USING THE INSIDE LANE AND PASSING OTHER TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THE ENGINE REVVED, AND THE VEHICLE TRIED STOPPING ITSELF. SHE WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE OTHER TRAFFIC, AVOID A COLLISION, AND PULL OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS -8F. I WAS ALREADY IN IOWA AND DROVE AN HOUR TO RETRIEVE HER AND HER BAGGAGE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SIOUX FALLS, SD, AND WAS LATER DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BY BILLION JEEP. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDE REPLACEMENT OF THE KNOWN FAULTY PART AND NOT JUST AN UPDATE TO THE SOFTWARE TO ADDRESS THE VEHICLE "AFTER" THE PART FAILED. IT CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY WIFE AND THE OTHER PEOPLE SHARING THE ROADWAY THAT NIGHT. RECALL W47 OBVIOUSLY DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE FAR ENOUGH. IT CERTAINLY FAVORED THE MANUFACTURER OVER THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OWNERS.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING IS MADE OF PLASTIC, CAUSING IT TO EASILY BREAK MOST LIKELY DUE TO OVERTIGHTENING WHEN GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, THEN THIS CAUSES OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE BEING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, SINCE MOST PEOPLE GO GET THEIR OIL CHANGED AT A BUSINESS NOT THEMSELVES YOU WOULDN'T KNOW UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE AND NOBODY WILL ACCEPT FAULT, JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL AND MAKE THIS HOUSING OUT OF METAL TO PREVENT THIS ISSUE.

WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE ON A ROADWAY THE VEHICLE IS MAKING SCRAPING NOISE AS IF IT NEEDED BRAKE PADS, AND HAS HARDLY ANY BRAKING ABILITIES AND DOES NOT WAIVER IN INTENSITY OR BRAKING ABLITY EVEN WITH EXTRA PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES PEDDLE. THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS CHECKED AT A SERVICE REP. WHO ADVISED THE BRAKE PADS WERE FINE, HOWEVER THE ON BOARD COMPUTER GAVE CODES THAT THE POWER STEERING COMPUTER SOFTWARE WAS INTERFEARING WITH THE BRAKING SOFTWARE. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I NEED TO DO THIS IS MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTERS DAILY VEHICLE.

I FREQUENTLY GET A WARNING LIGHT AND SCREEN THAT SAYS 'AUTOMATIC START STOP IS UNAVAILABLE'... THIS IS USUALLY AS I'M DRIVING NOT EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. RANDOM AND USUALLY EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN NEUTRAL AND FAILED TO SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REFERRED HIM TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED SALSBURY'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (13939 AIRLINE HWY, BATON ROUGE, LA 70817, (225) 926-8800) WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE FOR A WHILE CAUSING THE CARPET TO BECOME MOLDED, WHICH IS HARMFUL TO BREATH. NOTICE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME ISSUES WITH NOT RECALL BEING DONE. THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH WILL LEAD TO A FIRE

ON JULY 29,2020 (THE DAY I BOUGHT IT), MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WHILE I DROVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE 8 HIGHWAY, FORCING ME TO VEER ONTO THE SHOULDER. MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION ALSO COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN COUNTLESS TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHICH HINDERS TRAFFIC BY FORCING ME TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK BEFORE IT CAN BE TURNED BACK ON AND PUT BACK INTO DRIVE. MOST OF THOSE TIMES IT WILL NOT TURN BACK ON AGAIN ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT EITHER. ON NOVEMBER 19, 2020, FOR EXAMPLE, MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN FIVE TIMES IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC WHILE I DROVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE 5 HIGHWAY. SINCE THE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER 20, 2020, ALMOST EVERY TIME I GO TO START MY CAR IT WON'T START UNLESS I FIRST POP THE HOOD AND WIGGLE THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTION FIRST. EVEN AFTER BUYING A NEW BATTERY. AROUND JANUARY 20, 2021, THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT FULLY DISENGAGE AND MY CAR PROCEEDED TO SHUT OFF ONE BLOCK AWAY FROM MY HOUSE ON A CITY STREET. FOR FIVE MINUTES I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND COULDN'T PUT IT BACK IN PARK AFTER DRIVING HOME. THE NEXT DAY, AFTER I TURNED ON MY CAR AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE, IT LURCHED FORWARD, MADE A BANGING SOUND, AND SHUT OFF. I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR DRIVE AND LEFT IT IN NEUTRAL. THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD STILL NOT FULLY DISENGAGE AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I STILL COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR INTO PARK OR DRIVE SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LEFT IT IN NEUTRAL. LAST WEEK, I FORCED MY CAR INTO DRIVE AND TOOK IT TO THE KEARNY MESA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT REMAINS. THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 21-025-19'S EXTENDED WARRANTY INSTRUCTION DOESN'T APPLY TO MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION AND I INSIST THAT IT DOES. I ALSO SAW SOME OF THE CAR'S REAL AND VERY EXTENSIVE REPAIR HISTORY FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I DROVE 365 HIGHWAY MILES, THE LAST 20 OF WHICH WERE ON WINDING UPHILL MOUNTAIN ROADS, STOPPING AT MY MOUNTAIN CABIN, WITH NO ISSUES. PARKED, WITH ENGINE OFF, TO SHOVEL SNOW ALLOWING ACCESS TO STEEP SNOW-COVERED DRIVEWAY. UPON COMPLETION AND RESTARTING MY VEHICLE, I ATTEMPTED TO ENTER 4WD LOW TO PROCEED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. WOULD NOT ENTER LOW, DISPLAYING "4WD NOT AVAILABLE'. REPEATED ATTEMPTS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, WITH ADDITIONAL ERRORS DISPLAYING: "SERVICE ENGINE', "SERVICE SHIFTER', "SERVICE P BRAKE". DECIDED TO ATTEMPT DRIVING IN 4WD (ONLY); VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL. SHIFTER WAS PHYSICALLY LOCKED IN POSITION. KEPT FUSSING, WHILE ALL ERROR MESSAGES BEING DISPLAYED ALTERNATELY. IT EVENTUALLY COUPLE BE SHIFTED (WITH NORMAL EFFORT); UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS NOW REVERSE NOT DRIVE (WHICH I NEEDED). UPON ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT TO DRIVE, IT STUCK IN NEUTRAL ON ITS WAY TO DRIVE. AGAIN LOCKED IN PLACE. EVENTUALLY UNLOCKED AND COULD BE SHIFTED; BUT WAS NOW WARY OF DESCENDING THE DRIVEWAY AND DECIDED TO DRIVE IT A BIT TO TEST. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH IT MIGHT BE UNLOCKING AFTER A TIMEOUT PERIOD, SO START A STOPWATCH ON MY PHONE. EVENTUALLY DETERMINE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS TIMING OUT AFTER 4:30, AND COULD BE SHIFTED, WITH ALL SHIFTS BEING VERY HARD AND LOUD. FINALLY GOT IT IN DRIVE AND DROVE THE ~3 MILE LOOP OF PLOWED, BUT STILL SNOWY AND SLOPPY ROADWAY; ON THIS TEST DRIVE, WITH ALL MESSAGES STILL ON AND ALTERNATING, IT BECAME CLEAR I HAD ONLY REAR WHEEL DRIVE AND WAS IN A SINGLE GEAR SPEED, ALLOWING ONLY SLOW STARTING AND POOR STOPPING, WITH SPEEDS OF 20 MPH PER 1,000 RPM. AFTER A FEW WIFI CALLS FROM MY DRIVEWAY TO NEIGHBORS AND MY JEEP DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER; DECIDED TO RETURN TO TOWN FOR REPAIRS. EACH PASSAGE THRU NEUTRAL LOCKING THE TRANSMISSION FOR 4:30, AND ALL SHIFT INTO EITHER GEAR, EXTREMELY "HARD"

WHEN DRIVING THEN BRAKING I/ WE NOTICED THAT THE JEEP HAD VIBRATION AND CHATTERING ,SHAKING FEELING AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN STARTED TO NOTICE CHATTER AND SCRAPPING SOUND AT LOWER SPEEDS LIKE 25-35 MPH . SO LOOKING AT THE ROTORS I FOUND THE RIGHT REAR TO HAVE (2) TWO GROOVES ON IT . SO I TOOK IT TO BIG O IN SPARKS ,NV 89431 FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE BRAKE PADS STILL HAD 65 TO 70 PERCENT LEFT AND THAT THE ROTORS WERE CRACKEDIN SEVERAL PLACES. THEY HAD TO REPLACE BOTH ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS . I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED . IF THEY CAME APART WHILE DRIVING SOMEONE COULD LOOSE CONTROL AND POSSIBLLY LOOSE THERE LIFE.

IT JERKS WHEN I DRIVE IT IN TOWN NORMAL DRIVING

AUTO START/STOP SYSTEM ENGAGES WHILE PARKING. DASH BOARD BRIGHTENS OR DIMS AT RANDOM

TRANSMISSION FAILED, HAD TO REBUILD NOV 2020 4X4 SVC LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY, PTU FAILED AS WELL JAN 2021. VEHICLE KEPT ENGAGING 4X4 AND LOOSING POWER

TRANSMISSION ENGAGES VIOLENTLY WHEN COASTING, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING OUT OF A COAST DOWNHILL. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER COASTING THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES VIOLENTLY. THIS GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO JUMP FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR OR 3RD FOR 4TH. THIS IS A VERY VIOLENT ENGAGEMENT, TO THE POINT WHERE IT CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL. IT OFTEN TIME FEELS LIKE THE DRIVER HAS IMPACTED AN OBJECT, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO OVERREACT TO CONDITIONS. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALERSHIPS SEVERAL TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY IN NOVEMBER 2020 I HAD ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND SET IT AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. A SEMI TRUCK CHANGED INTO MY LANE WITHOUT BLINKER WARNING. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CRUSE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I THEN BEGAN PUMPING THE BRAKES AND STILL NO DISENGAGEMENT. AS I APPROACHED THE BACK END OF THE SEMI PRIOR TO HITTING IT, I DROVE OFF THE FREEWAY DOWN THE DESCENDING EMBANKMENT STILL PUMPING THE BRAKES WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUSPENSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000.

SERVICE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON GAS CAP LIGHT CAME ON AND IT THROWS MY PARKING BRAKE ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN I STOP AND PUT INTO PARK. EVEN AFTER TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 60,000 MILES STILL HAVE HARD SHIFTING PROBLEMS AS WELL. VEHICLE DIED WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT THIS IS WHEN THE LIGHTS APPEARED.

FOUR TIMES WITHIN THE PAST TWO WEEKS THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF. TWICE WHILE TURNING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND TWICE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE INSTANTLY STALLS AND ENTIRE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. CAR TAKES 5-20 MIN TO RESTART. THERE'S NO BURNING SMELL OR SPUTTERING/STALLING WHEN CAR SHUTS OFF. IT IS DANGEROUS AND ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS WHEN STALLING TURNING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION.

VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC.

MY JEEP IS HAVING TRANNY ISSUES AND IS MAKING VERY LOUD ENGINE SOUND DUE TO THE TRANNY LAGGING,WHICH IS MAKING MOTOR REV REALLY HIGH,AND SOMETIMES IT IS NOT PREDICTABLE,WHICH AT THAT POINT CAUSES THE MOTOR TO BE SOMETIMES REAL JERKY OR JUMPY RANDOMLY CAUSING IT NOT TO RUN RIGHT!..OR HAVE A ROUGH RIDE OR IT'S SHIFTING TO SHIFT RIGHT OR EVEN TO GO TO THE NEXT GEARS..SEAMS LIKE SOMETIMES,IT WANTS THE MOTOR TO BLOW UP !!!

SERVICE GEAR SHIFTER APPEARS. CANNOT SEE MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MOSTLY WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR MORE THAN A HALF HOUR.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN STUDDERING WHILE IN DRIVE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IT'S HEAVILY STALLS BEFORE TAKING OFF AFTER A STOP. I WANT SURE IF I MOVED TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION UNTIL IT CONTINUED TO DO IT FOR A 45 MIN DRIVE FROM 0-65 IN SPEED. IT'S HAD THE HESITATION SINCE I GOT IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE SMALLER V6 WHEN I WAS COMING FROM AN INFINITI M37. I CHECKED FLUIDS AND NO ALERT OR LIGHT ON INDICATING.

OIL LEAKS AROUND THE FILTER HOUSING. COULD LEAD TO A FIRE ON THE MANIFOLD OR EXHAUST. THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH FILTER HOUSING FAILURES. ENGINE COULD FAIL IN COLD WEATHER.

HAD A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS A LEAK IN THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER. WHEN ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM HE SAID YES AND HAD CONTACTED THE MAIN JEEP DEALER IN OUR AREA AND THEY SAID THE SAME AS WELL. IT BREAKS CAUSING A LEAK WHICH THEN THE OIL POOLS BY THE ENGINE CAUSING THE OIL TO GET HOT AND BURN. THE BURNING STARTED AFTER DRIVING LONG ENOUGH TO HEAT THE MOTOR. THE FIX IS A $600 TO $700 FIX. THE MECHANIC AND DEALER ALSO MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN POPPING UP IN NEWER AND USED JEEPS AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM NO MATTER HOW NEW OR OLD THE JEEP IS.

IF NOT TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY, LEAVING ME SEMI STALLED IN INTERSECTIONS, ETC. IT DOES THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS. OTHER OWNERS OF SAME MODEL TELL ME THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

MY "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHTS CAME ON. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO JEEP VEHICLES ONLY ESPECIALLY CHEROKEE JEEPS. IT STARTED COMING ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT IT DIDN'T COME ON AFTER I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTOOD FROM THE DEALERS, IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEPS. I DID MY RESEARCH, AND SOME PEOPLE HAD IT REPLACED BUT CONTINUE TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAD A RECALL FOR IT. I'VE HAD SO MANY RECALLS IN THIS VEHICLES SINCE I GOT THE CAR. SEEMS LIKE EVERY YEAR I GET A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE NEAR THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO KEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM - TOBEY AUTO GROUP (2020 N DETROIT ST, XENIA, OH 45385; (937) 347-5155) WHO SEALED THE LOCATION WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. THE CONTACT STATED ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER, AT APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERS WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, NOT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT ABOUT 7 MONTHS LATER AT APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ALSO DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

CAR ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS NOW THE CAR LAGS WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR HAS BEEN STOPPING STARTING THE P SHIFT WARNING MESSAGE I WOULD HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON FOR THE CAR TO START DRIVING AGAIN I'VE BEEN TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY WERE SAYING WAS I NEEDED ANOTHER OIL CHANGE SO WHEN THE CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF AGAIN I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE MOTOR WAS CONSUMING TO MUCH OIL AND MY ENGINE WAS GOING OUT STATING THAT THE ENGINE THAT WAS BUILT FOR THIS MODEL CAR WASN'T BUILT CORRECTLY MIND YOU MY CAR JUST MADE FIVE YEARS I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TO REPLACE MY ENGINE AT THIS TIME

AROUND MAY 2020 I WAS CONTACTED BY JEEP FOR A RECALL I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT; GOT HER IN QUICK FOR THE PTU INPUT SPLINE. THERE WERE NO ISSUES BEFORE THIS. THE UPDATE WAS ATEMPTED BUT NOT COMPLETED. FROM THERE, I EXPEREINCED SEVERAL ISSUES. PROBLEMS STARTED WITH ALERTS DISPLAYING FOR NO REASON WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. TOOK HER TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE/LOOKED AT THE POWER TRAIN. WHEN "FINISHED" I PULLED OUT TO MY JEEP MAKNG A POPPING NOISE AND ROUGH DRIVE. WHEN I PARKED, THERE WAS FLUID SPILLING OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL AND SPLATTERED OVER THE REAR OF THE JEEP. THE DEALER STRIPPED A PLUG; WASNT SEATED CORRECTLY AND POPPED OFF FROM PRESSURE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES CONCERNING THE DRIVETRAIN TO INCLDE HARD JUMPING INTO GEAR (ESPECIALLY INTO 1ST FROM A STOP), ROUGH DOWN SHIFT, AND TRANSFER CASE DAMAGE. MOST RECENT ISSUE IS HARD SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND RADIATOR LEAK. I DID TAKE HER IN BEFORE MY POWERTRAIN WARRANY RAN OUT BUT THERE WAS APPARENTLY NO ISSUE - THEY ONLY DROVE IT A FEW MILES. I ATTRIBUTE ALL ISSUES TO INCOMPLETE MAINTENECE AND UNKNOWLEDGABLE STAFF. THE MAIN ISSUE BEING COMPUTERS; WHEN NOT SERVICED PROPERLY, A CHAIN REACTION OCCURS THROUGOUT COMPONENTS. AN ISSUE CAN ARRISE WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. I CONTACTED NATIONAL LEVEL JEEP FOR HELP; NO AVAIL.

VEHICLE HAS A DELAY WHEN GOING FROM STATIONARY TO ACCELERATING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2015 JEEPS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON MINE WHICH IS EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE FIRST HAND IS NOT ON OF THEM.

I OWN A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT WITH 104K MILES. BOTH REAR KNUCKLES NEED REPLACED AND THE BUSHINGS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS SEVERELY WORN MORE THAN THE OTHER. THERE ARE NO LOCAL DEALERS WHO CAN GET THEM AS THEY ARE BACK ORDERED THROUGH CHRYSLER. ONE DEALER IS SHOWING 30+ ORDERED THROUGH THEIR DEALERSHIP ALONE. I HAVE EVEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATE DIRECTLY WITH NO LUCK OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. MY LOCAL TECHNICIAN SAID THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH WINTER COMING TO MY AREA AND THAT IS MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL AS INTENDED. THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! THE PART # PROVIDED FROM THE DEALERS IS 5090072AE. WHILE RESEARCHING VARIOUS SITES FOR ANOTHER SOURCE, I AM ONLY ABLE TO FIND 5090072AD, WHICH LOOKS LIKE THE RIGHT PART BUT DOES NOT MATCH PART NUMBERS. HOW DO I GET A PART THAT MY VEHICLE REQUIRES TO FUNCTION SAFELY AND KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE (NEW BORN CHILD) WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WON'T PROVIDE ME THE PART OR GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON WHEN ONE WOULD BE AVAILABLE.

*LAG RESPONSE AT COMPLETE STOP WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATION PEDAL. NOT SAFE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. *THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. *TAPPING ENGINE NOISE

VEHICLE CONTINOUSLY FLASHES ERROR CODE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ON DASH SCREEN. IN ADDITION ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. ABLE TO CLEAR FAULT BE RESTARTING VEHICLE. DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT SHIFTING OF VEHICLE. BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF PAST YEAR.

UNDER THE CHRYSLER WARRANTY, MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION RESULTED IN COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. RIGHT NOW, (OUT OF WARRANTY) THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT HAS FAILED. IT APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE RECENT RECALL THAT REQUIRED A FLASH OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO PREVENT DETERIORATION OF "SPLINES" WITHIN THE UNIT. I HAD THAT DONE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. NOW THE ENTIRE TRANSFER CASE IS CLATTERING AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL. I AM BEING ASKED TO PAY OVER $3,200 INCLUDING TODAY'S DIAGNOSIS AND WAIT 3 OR MORE WEEKS TO BACKORDER THE PART. I WILL PROCEED WITH THE WORK, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NO CLEAR TIMELINE, SO I PARKED THE CAR AS IT IS APPARENTLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, EVEN IF I COULD STAND THE NOISE. I BELIEVE THIS IS PART OF THE PRIOR RECALL AND WANT HELP TO TRY TO DETERMINE THIS. I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THIS REPORT IS REALLY JUST A BOOKMARK IN CASE YOU ALL DECIDE TO INVESTIGATE IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING. THE TRANSFER UNIT CLATTERS WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS TO MAKE THE WHEELS TURN. I HAVE HAD IT ASSESSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FIRST, THEN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT MUST BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HER RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LAFONTAINE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF LANSING (6131 S PENNSYLVANIA AVE, LANSING, MI 48911) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,284.

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH AND THE SHIFTER HAD RED LIGHT LIGHT UP FOR PARK REVERSE NEUTRAL DRIVE AND MANUAL. UPON MORE RESEARCH MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVING TO HAVE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AND WIRING HARNESS REPLACED

JUST AFTER I STARTED JEEP. I HAD A WARNING BEEP. DASH HAS SERVICE SHIFTER ON IT. ALL THE LIGHTS ALONG THE SHIFTER WERE LIT UP AS IF SHIFTER WAS IN ALL THE POSITIONS. DROVE IT A SHORT DISTANCE. STOPPED TURNED OFF IGNITION. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT WAS CLEARED UP. HAVE 59036 MILES ON JEEP.

THE CAR WAS PARKED AT A GAS STATION WHEN THE CAR WAS TURN ON THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND IT STARTED SHAKING THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON , ALSO THE D WAS FLASHING AND THE LIGHT FOR ICE CONTROL WAS FLASHING AS WELL

ON A SUNDAY THE 25TH OCTOBER MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT HOME GETTING READY TO GO TO THE SHOPS DIDN'T WANT TO GO FORWARD BUT IT WAS AUTOMATICALLY REVERSING. IT CHANGED TO LOW GEAR AND DIDN'T WANNA INCREASE SPEED ABOVE 40KM/HR, IT DEACTIVATED ALL SENSORS. IT LOST POWER AND STARTED JACKING BUT WAS ONLY REVERSING. I CALLED JEEP SA SANDTON ON MONDAY AS IT DID THE SAME THING THEY SAID IT MUST BE TOWN MUST TOWED. ON ARRIVAL I WAS TOLD M VEHICLE HAS PTU PROBLEM, IT IS NOT TRANSMITTING POWER TO THE FRONT WHEELS. AND I NEED TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF PTU. I ASKED WHAT CAUSES THIS PTU, THE SERVICE GIRLS SAID SHE DOESN'T KNOW. I GOOGLED AND DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PTU SOFTWARE UPDATE BECAUSE THESE CARS EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. BUT NO ONE INFORMED ME DESPITE THAT MY CAR WENT FOR A SERVICE WITH JEEP IN MAY. THE DEALER AND FCA JOHANNESBURG IS REFUSING TO FIX THE DAMAGE AND TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE, THE CAR HAS BEEN WITH THEM FOR 2 WEEKS, AND I AM TOLD I NEED TO PAY, WHILE THE INFORMATION IS CLEAR THAT THE RECALL WAS WORLDWIDE, AND IRRESPECTIVE IF YOUR CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANT OR NOT THE PTU NEEDS TO BE UPDATED AND REPLACED BY DEALER FREE OF CHARGE.

HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM, EVEN WHEN USING HIGH BEAMS. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS BEEN CHANGED IN RECENT JEEP MODELS, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN OFFERED TO CONVERT PREVIOUS OWNER'S CARS. JEEP NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AS IT'S A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

WHEN STARTING MY CAR IT DID NOT WANT TO START AND THEN IT DID AND ALL THIS HAPPENED,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT 4WD TEMPORALLY UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE PARK BRAKE , AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. AT AUTO ZONE THE CODE STATED WATCHDOG PERFORMANCE

IF I'M COMING UP ON A RED LIGHT AND IT TURNS GREEN BEFORE I HAVE TO STOP WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT HESITATES TO GO THEN IT JUMPS FORWARD VERY HARD. ALSO IF I'M PULLING OUT SOMETIMES FROM A COMPLETE STOP IT WILL DO THE SAMETHING BY HESITATING THEN JUMPING FORWARD.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NOT EVEN 2 MILES FROM HOME THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. ONLY WARNING WAS A THE AUTO START/STOP WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE A ATOP SIGN WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN ONCE I SAT FOR A MIN OR TWO. I DIDN'T GET 1 MILE FROM THAT STOP SIGN WHEN THE CAR DIED AGAIN. SAME WARNING LIGHT. THIS IS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY HAD I MADE IT TO THE INTERSTATE AND IT STALLED THERE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. THE CAR WILL RUN AND THEN START RUNNING REALLY ROUGH FOR NO REASON AND USUALLY STALLS OUT.

ABOUT A WEEK AGO FROM TODAY (10/25/2020) MY CAR STARTED HAVING ISSUES STARTING UP. EVERYTHING BLINKS ON MY DASH AND ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO START UP. IT SAYS TO SERVICE BRAKES AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH ALMOST 90K MILES ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO AND IT HAS 122K MILES, FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HAD A PROBLEM. I SAW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION I AM JUST UNSURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

NO ACCELERATION, RPM STUCK AT 5000 FOR AN EXTENDED TIME BEFORE DROPPING, CLUNK NOISE, HARD SHIFT ESPECIALLY INTO PARK. BETWEEN 60,000 AND 70,000 MILES HAD 3 MAJOR REPAIRS.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON AND IT EFFECTS THE SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE. IF YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT RESETS. UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE AT THIS TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP. HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS A HESITATION/DELAY IN ACCELERATION.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES THE PAST MONTH MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN. ALL LIGHTS STAY ON IN CAR AND HEADLAMPS ETC. BUT THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND WHEN YOU GO TO CRANK THE ENGINE OVER IT WILL DO NOTHING FOR MAYBE 5 TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE YOU HERE THE BELTS AND FANS START TO CRANK. HAD THE STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY TESTED. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT STILL DOES IT JUST NOT AS OFTEN.

SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND THEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND IT ROLLED.

JEEP SHIFTER NOT WORKING RIGHT. WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP STOPS COMES UP ON SCREEN SHIFTER NOT WORKING THEN SAYS TO PUT IN PARK AND SHIFT TO DESIRED GEAR.BUT I HAVE TO SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTART BEFORE IT WILL WORK.

2015 IS KNOWN FOR RUST IN THE AXISLE.I HAVE MY VEHICLE IN SHOP MECHANIC SAID THE DIFFERIANCIAL HAS A LEAK AND MAY BE RUSTED .IS THIS A RECALL PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS ?.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ARE ALL RED,P,R,N,D

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ERRONEOUSLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE MOTIVE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING THE SERVICE GEAR SHIFT WARMING CAME ON AND ALL THE GEAR LIGHTS WHERE ON.. TRANSMISSION ISSUE CONTINUE WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE IT JERKS VERY HARD OR WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PTU INLINE SPLINE SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD CLUNK UPON ACCELERATION. THE DEALER COULD DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE THEN EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. *JS

WHILE DRIVING ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER CAME ON AND A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAID SERVICE SHIFTER. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND THE SHIFTER WAS REPLACED AT 43472 MILES DECEMBER 23, 2019

1200 MILES BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TRIED TO START JEEP. LIGHT CAME ON ON THE SHIFTER. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENED AT 98000.00 MILES. I TRIED LOOKING IT UP ONLINE AND I SEE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF JEEPS SO I WANTED TO REPORT IT.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING SHOWS WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES WHILE STARTING VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW TO CHANGE GEARS WITHOUT TURNING OFF AND THEN BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES.

THE CAR HAS TROUBLE GOING WHEN IT'S STOPPED AND I PRESS THE GAS. IT IS AS IF IT'S THINKING AND THEN ONCE IT STARTS MOVING, IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD. IT'S ALSO SHIFTS REALLY HARD WHEN WHILE JUST DRIVING, FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. ALSO THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT WOULD GO ON SO I REPLACED THE SHIFTER BEZEL WITH WIRES TWICE AND NOW THE SERVICE SHIFT LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN.

THE FUEL SAVING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING IT DOES NOT SHUT DOWN WHEN I M AT A STOP

I WAS DRIVING CAME TO A STOP A STOP SIGN, I STARTED TO GO AND MY JEEP JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. IT WOULDNT MOVE OR ROLL. I GAVE IT GAS AND IT JUST RUM THE ENGINE UP. IT WOULDN'T MOVE AND CARS WERE COMING AT ME. IT SCARED ME. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CEMENT TRUCK. LIGHTS ON ALL THE SHIFTING LIT UP. SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. MILEAGE STARTED FLASHING. SOME LIGHT WITH CAR AND WAVY ROADS LIGHT CAME ON. IT JUST STOPPED ROLLING WHILE DRIVING .2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE ONLY 69,000 MILES.

WHEN ROAD IS WET, VEHICLE RANDOMLY FISH TAILS ON CITY STREETS AND/OR DOES COMPLETE 360 DEGREE SPIN ON THE INTERSTATE. TIRES ARE GOOD. REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS LEAKING. SUSPECTED DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. WE GOT THE LEAK FIXED BUT NOISE PERSISTED. JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOW REPLACING ENTIRE DIFFERENTIAL. WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 100,000 MILES. VEHICLE AROUND 120,000 MILES NOW. SUSPECT A DEFECT IN DIFFERENTIAL, BASED ON OTHER INTERNET SEARCHES. ALSO HAD SIMILAR ISSUE ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND THOUGHT THAT BALDING TIRES WERE TO BLAME. OTHER SYMPTOMS INCLUDE RUBBING SOUND WHEN TURNING SLOWLY AND SHARPLY, SUCH AS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY OR TURNING SHARPLY INTO A PARKING SPOT.

THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PTU UNIT HAS TO BE CHANGED. COST $2200, CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD.

CAR STALLED OUT GOING 25 MILES AN HOUR WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET. TEMPERATURE 102 AT 3:02PM. VEHICLE HAD ONLY BEEN RUNNING LESS THAN 30 MINUTES. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, SCROLLED THRU EACH SERVICE NOTICE {CHECK ENGINE, TURN SIGNALS, ETC..} AFTER 3RD ATTEMPT TO RESTART VEHICLE, IT STARTED. TOOK 27 MINUTES. ONCE STARTED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT AND MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE BOTH ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DON K CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (6219 HWY 93 S, WHITEFISH, MT 59937, (406) 862-2571) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE JERKS ME EXTREMELY HARD AND ENGINE MAKES LOUD THUMP NOISE. I'VE ALMOST HIT MULTIPLE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME FROM IT JULTING ME FORWARD. I'M PREGNANT AND IT'S EXTREMELY CONCERNING.

MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT. KICKING EVERYTIME SHIFTING. THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER.

WHEN STARTING IN MOTION THE CAR HESITATED THEN JERKS INTO MOTION. IT WILL JERK BETWEEN SHIFTING GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. SOMETIMES IT JERKS SO HARD LIKE YOU WERE REAR ENDED. WE HAVE REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEEP TELLING US NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IT WILL HESITATE AND JERK IN REVERSE AND FORWARD. AT TIMES IT FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON I HAVE SEEN THIS CAUSES BRAKES TO EVENTUALLY LOCK UP AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS BUT HAVE NOT SEE A RECALL

AT AROUND 40,000 MILES, TOUCH SCREEN/RADIO WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AND ON, AND SERVICE SHIFTER COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES STAYS ON CONSTANTLY, SOMETIMES COMES ON AND OFF. VERY FRUSTRATING AS NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THESE ISSUES ALL OVER THE INTERNET, BUT JEEP HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT. SOME REPORTS EVEN MENTION INJURIES INVOLVED IN THE ISSUE. NO VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE THESE ISSUES THIS COMMONLY AT A VERY ACCEPTABLE LOW MILEAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH SEVERAL SHIFT OPTION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE WAS OCCASIONALLY SELF CORRECTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOTIFIED HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. INVALID VIN.

SERVICE SHIFTER AND SERVICE 4WD LIGHTS COME UP ON DASH AND THE SHIFTER PRND LIGHTS COME ON AT SHIFTER ON START UP AND WHILE DRIVING AND HAVE TO CUT SWITCH ON AND OFF IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT AT TIMES

INDICATOR SAYS TO "SERVICE SHIFTER" I WANT TO KNOW IF MY CAR HAS A RECALL NOTICE.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS ERRATIC. FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE MAY PAUSE BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. AT HIGHWAY SPEED SHIFTING IS ALSO ERRATIC. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY, THUS REVVING THE ENGINE AND ACCELERATION IS DIFFICULT. MANUFACTURER TRIES TO SOLVE THE ISSUE WITH SOFTWARE UPDATES.

I AM GETTING REPETITIVE "SERVICE SHIFTER" NOTICES ON MY DASH. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN MORE WAYS THAN JUST THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. #1 - I CANNOT SEE HOW FAST I'M GOING WHEN THAT IS BEING DISPLAYED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. #2, WHEN I COMES ON, I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF TO GET IT TO GO OFF, SOMETIMES IN 75 + MPH TRAFFIC. THIS IS A DANGER AND SAFETY HAZARD. #3 - I HAVE SPOKEN TO AND TAKEN TO DEALERSHIPS, WHICH TELL ME THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS IT IS ON, WHICH I FIND LUDICRIOUS AND HARD TO BELIEVE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP VEHICLES. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS? CLEARLY, SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG FOR THERE TO BE THIS MANY COMPLAINTS. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WITH THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, OR STATIONARY. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN IT HAPPENS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT COMES ON, BECAUSE I AM EITHER ON THE ROAD WHERE THERE ARE NO DEALERSHIPS, OR EARLY IN THE MORNING GOING TO WORK WHEN THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT OPEN, OR OTHERWISE NOT AVAILBLE. THIS NEEDS A RECALL ON IT IMMEDIATELY! I HAVE READ IT CAN BE FAULTY WIRING, WHICH HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF CAUSING A FIRE. I PAID FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH MOPAR AND I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED. MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT HAS APPROX. 59,000 MILES ON IT, BUT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE LAST TIME WAS 9/6 (SUNDAY) BUT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING ALMOST EVERY WEEK HERE RECENTLY. TURNING THE CAR OFF CLEARS IT, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT DANGEROUS OR IT'S NOT CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE.

THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR WILL DING AND AN ALARM ON MY SCREEN POPS UP THAT SAYS 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND ALL OF LIGHTS ON MY GEAR SHIFTER TURN ON. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING EVERYTIME IT HAS HAPPENED. I CAN NO LONGER SEE MY SCREEN WHERE IT SHOWS SPEED, GAS, TIRE PRESSURE, OIL, OR ANYTHING. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND SOMETIMES I HAVE BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE WHERE THAT WASN'T POSSIBLE TO DO IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING DEALERSHIPS BUT NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING.

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. A FEW TIMES WHEN I WAS EITHER STARTING TO DRIVE OR BACK UP MY JEEP WOULD SHIFT TO A HAULT AND DISPLAY AN ERROR ON THE SCREEN. IT'S HAPPENED WHILE I WAS REVERSING AND DRIVING.

I HEREBY INFORM YOU THAT MY JEEP CHEROKEE HAS A CARE PLUS PROTECTION, THIS VEHICLE (GIVEN ON TRADE-IN BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER) WAS PURCHASED FROM A LEXUS DEALER IN PONCE, PR. THEY CANNOT GIVE ME THE INFORMATION FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER [XXX], FOR PRIVACY REASONS, IT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL TO LOCATE THE ORIGINAL OWNER TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE TRANSFER, I NEED IT TO BE DONE, SINCE THE JEEP STILL HAS ITS GUARANTEE AND THEREFORE THE OWNER ORIGINAL PAID FOR THIS PLAN (INFO ABOVE), I HAVE ALSO BEEN GUIDED BY LAWYERS REGARDING A "CLASS SETTLEMENT" BASED ON THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION OF THE MANUFACTURER FROM THE YEARS 2014 TO 2017, REALLY THIS GONNA BE MY LAST LAST OPTION, FINALLY I FOUND THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HE SENT ME THE TRANSFER FORM ALREADY SIGNED AND I SENT THRU MAIL, IF THE CARE PLUS GUARANTEE WAS PAID, WHY THEY DO NOT TRANSFER IT TO ME HAVING THE TRANSFER FORM. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES, AND I HAVE NO CAR AT THIS TIME. THE TRANSFER FORM WAS SENT TO TROY MICHIGAN AND WAS RECEIVED ON AUGUST 5-2020. I CALLED TODAY, AND THEY SAID THAT THIS PLAN THAT COVER UNTIL NOVEMBER 2021 WAS CANCELLED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE FROM THE OWNER OR ME, THEY CLAIM THAT I HAVE TO DO THE TRANSFER 60 DAYS AFTER PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER. I'M THE PURCHASER, HOW CAN I KNOW THIS VEHICLE HAS THE PROTECTION PLAN ALREADY PAID, EVEN THE DEALER LEXUS DIDN'T KNOW THAT, BECAUSE THIS WAS A TRADE-IN. NOW THIS 2015 TRANSMISSIONS IS GOING TO COST ME ABOUT $5,000 DOLLARS, WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES ODOMETERS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT SMOOTHLY DURING MOVING TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS. WHEN APPROACHING A TURN AND GAS IS OFF/BRAKE IS ON, AND STILL ROLLING AT LOW SPEED (~5 MPH) AND THEN CLEAR TO PROCEED, BRAKE IS OFF/GAS IS BACK ON, FIRST SHIFT IS VERY VIOLENT, FEELS LIKE I'M GETTING RE-ENDED. ALSO AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN IN HILL CLIMB AND SITUATION WHERE GAS OFF TO COAST FOR A BIT IS REQUIRED, VIOLENT UPSHIFT OCCURS. FEELS LIKE I'M BEING RE-ENDED IN BOTH OF THESE SCENARIOS. I FEAR THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL ON ME DURING ONE OF THESE SLOW SPEED SITUATIONS IN AN INTERSECTION CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR ON THE HIGHWAY LEAVING ME STRANDED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TOO JEEP DEALER HERE IN SCOTTSDALE AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT THIS ZF 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS ACTING NORMALLY. I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT COMPARED TO MANY OTHER CARS I HAVE DRIVEN OVER MY LIFETIME. THIS TRANSMISSION IS NOT NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT NOT DO THIS IS TO STOP FOR 1 SECOND TO ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO SETTLE AND THEN PROCEED WHICH IS NOT NORMAL DRIVING. I'VE OWNED VEHICLE FOR 1 YEAR AND BEHAVIOR HAPPENS DAILY.

JEEP DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNRESPONSIVE IN RESOLVING/FIXING RECALL W47 LEADING TO THE LACK OF FUNCTIONALITY OF MY JEEP CHEROKEE 2015, REQUIRING TOW FROM CHESTER, MD TO ALEXANDRIA, VA GIVEN THE VEHICLE COULD NO LONGER BE DRIVEN. DEALER NOW SUDDENLY HAS "RECALL FIX" (NOT AVAILABLE AFTER 9 PREVIOUS CALLS/MESSAGES BETWEEN 7/21/2020 - 8/22/2020 WHEN DEALER REPS NEVER RETURNED A MESSAGE/CALL). THEY CLAIM AS OF TODAY (AFTER JEEP WAS DROPPED AT DEALER BY TOW TRUCK), THE RECALL FIX HAS BEEN DONE - BUT SAY THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS STILL ON AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED/PAID FOR BY THE CUSTOMER. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE FURTHER RESULT OF NOT FIXING A DANGEROUS RECALL SITUATION WHICH COULD HAVE DAMAGED THE CAR BEYOND THE RECALL RELATED TO FRONT WHEELS, TRANSMISSION, LOSS OF POWER, LOSS OF PARK FUNCTION. MY VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING, ALL TRANSMISSION SERVICE/ABS AND PARKING BRAKE SERVICE LIGHTS WENT ON SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THE JEEP ROLLED BACKWARD UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF. THANKFULLY I HAD GOTTEN OFF OF BUSY HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED THIS AT AN EXIT AND THEN PARKING LOT WHERE I WAIVED OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME, PARKED THE VEHICLE AND THEN IT WAS PLACED ON A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK. DEALERS ARE NOT TAKING THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY. MORE DETAILS ATTACHED. THE ISSUE HAS NOT YET BEEN RESOLVED BY OURISMAN ALEXANDRIA WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND IS STILL LOCATED.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILST DRIVING AND THEN TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE SHIFTER, THEN WILL NOT DRIVE SAYS TO SHIFT TO PARK THEN PUT INTO GEAR. I DO THE FOLLOWING AND STILL WON'T TRY. HAVE TRIED SHUTTING IT OFF TURNING IT BACK ON AND NOTHING WORKS.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER ALERT COMES ON EVERY TIME I START THE CAR ALMOST. IT STARTED PERHAPS A MONTH AGO OR SO. IT WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD CLEAR IT OFTEN BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVERTIME. IT NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE. I WORRY THAT IT MAY GO OUT AND THE POLAR IS VERY GENERIC. THAT'S CALLED A COUPLE OF MECHANICS INCLUDING DEALER AND THEY'RE EQUALLY GENERIC ABOUT WHAT IT MAY BE, AND JUST TO GET IT LOOKED AT WILL COST ME $120 AN HOUR. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS THERE WITHIN MY POWER TO TROUBLESHOOT WAS TO MAKE SURE FIRMWARE WAS UP-TO-DATE AND I HAVE DONE THAT BUT THE ALERT IS STILL THERE.

CONTINUALLY RECEIVING A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ERROR MESSAGE AND ALL GEAR LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIGHT UP (PARK REVERSE NEUTRAL DRIVE). HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND REQUIRES THAT YOU STOP AND RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO AWAY. JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. AT FIRST WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE. THEN THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE SHIFTER. TODAY THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE. HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHER CASES ONLINE FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS COMES ON. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LAST YEAR IN MAY AND THEY STATED THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME SERVICE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. BUT NOT EVERY TIME. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THEY FIXED BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY EITHER REALLY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM OR PUT ON BAD PARTS

APPROX. 4:45PM WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS 117, I WAS PARKED, WITH THE ENGINE OFF, WAITING TO PICK UP MY DOG AT THE VET. I HAD JUST DRIVEN 15 MILES TO THIS LOCATION = 25 MINUTES. WAITED OVER 20 MINUTES FOR DOG TO BE BROUGHT TO CAR. WHEN READY TO LEAVE, CAR WOULD NOT START, ALL SERVICE/DASH LIGHTS COME ON. (HAD AIR, RADIO, LIGHTS} WAITED OVER 40 MINUTES AND FINALLY CAR STARTED. DROVE DIRECTLY HOME, AGAIN THE 15 MILES IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES, BACKED INTO DRIVEWAY, PUT CAR IN PARK (DID NOT TURN ENGINE OFF), TOOK DOG INSIDE. WHEN PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE TO PUT CAR IN GARAGE, CAR STALLED OUT. THIS WAS TWICE IN ONE DAY!! THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS ON VERY HOT DAYS. WHY NO RESEARCH/RECALL ON THIS STALLING OUT ISSUE??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT (PTU) SERVICE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OXENDALE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (920 AZ-89A, COTTONWOOD, AZ 86326, (928) 634-3656) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V343000 (POWER TRAIN) WHICH WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE CONTACT STATED THE SERVICE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PTU NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PTU WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER OPENED CASES ON THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,442. *LN THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE CLAIMS WERE DECLINED BY JEEP. *AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY AND EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE CONTACT AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC PERFORMED A TEST DRIVE HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A BUMP AND EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO V&H AUTOMOTIVE (2414 N CENTRAL AVE, MARSHFIELD, WI 54449, (715) 387-2545) AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER CONTROL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND GOING AROUND A CURB OF, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY AND THE FAILURE RECURRED CAUSING THE TOOLBAR TO FRACTURE AND THE CABLE BARS AND TOOLBAR TO DETACH. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.*DT CONSUMER STATED DEALER FIXED THE STEERING DAMPER CONTROL AND THE MANUFACTURER REIMBURSED THE CONSUMER BUT INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE LATEST INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED WAS JEEP BROKE THE TOW BAR AND SAFETY CABLES AND ENDED REAR ENDING A MOTOR HOME TWICE.*JB

THERE WAS A RECALL ON BRAKE BOOSTERS FOR THE YEARS BEFORE MY JEEP. MY BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED IN VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE POWER TRANSFER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V343000 (POWER TRAIN) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,700. *LN*JB

VEHICLE DIES AT SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. NO WARNING ONLY ONE ERROR WHEN IT HAPPENS PERTAINING TO THE START/STOP SYSTEM NEEDING SERVICE. HAS ALSO HAPPENED SITTING IN A PARKING LOT AT IDLE. OIL LEVEL IS GOOD. BATTERY IS NEW. DEALER REPLACED THE PCU BUT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN THE SAME DAY WE LEFT THE DEALER. SO FAR THEY HAVE HAD IT ANOTHER WEEK AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO OBDII ERROR CODES.

UPON SLOWING DOWN AROUND 20 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ACCELERATE REQUIRING A HARDER PRESS ON THE BRAKE. IF I LET OFF THE GAS AROUND 40 MPH THE VEHICLE MAINTAINS SPEED BEFORE IT STARTS TO ACCELERATE. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WILL JOLT AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON PUTTING IT IN A LIMP MODE WITH LITTLE FORWARD MOMENTUM WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. THE DEALER SAID ITS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE BUT THE FACTORY WOULDN'T REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE DEALER COULDN'T PROVE IT WAS BAD. AT THAT POINT THE 2015 KL TRAILHAWK HAD AROUND 33000 34000 MILES ON IT AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

STEREO SYSTEM: SYSTEM REMAIN ON AND CAN NOT TURN IT OFF, WHETHER VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR STOPPED. I HAVE REMOVED KEYS FROM IGNITION, GOTTEN OUT OF CAR, SHUT DOORS AND SYSTEM REMAINS ON AND IT HAS STAYED ON ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 10 MINUTES. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING 30-55MPH ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR LOST ALL POWERSTEERING AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON! TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE , WOULDN'T RESTART FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SET BEFORE OR AFTER NO OTHER DRIVEABILITY PROBLEMS PRESENT DURING THIS TIME

CAR SHIFTS ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, UNABLE TO DRIVE OVER 20MPH AFTER FINALLY GETTING IT IN GEAR

AUTO SHUT DOWN WHILE IN LEFT TURN LANE, WAITING FOR LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. AUTO SEEMS TO STALL OUT AFTER IDLING (IE: AFTER LEAVING DRIVE THRU, TRAFFIC LIGHT). WILL NOT RESTART, ALL DASH INDICATORS COME ON. AIR, RADIO, WINDOWS STILL FUNCTIONING. HAD HELP PUSHING CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. 55 MINUTES LATER IN 117 DEGREES AUTO STARTED. NEXT MORNING AUTO WOULD NOT START, ALL DASH INDICATORS COME ON AGAIN. HAD USE THE KEY FOB TRICK TO START. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 2019 AS WELL FIRST TIME, MAY 1, 2019, TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, LEFT THERE FOR 2 DAYS, NOTHING FOUND.

SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING FLASHES AND THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE FOR A BIT. ONCE I STOP, I'M ABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN.

TRANSMISSION JERKY

SERVICE SHIFTER CONTINUES TO COME ON

THIS ZF9 TRANSMISSION IS A HUGE PIECE OF JUNK AND DOESN'T JUST IMPACT THE JEEP CHEROKEE KL. I'VE OWNED MY 2015 CHEROKEE SINCE NEW AND IT HAS NEVER SHIFTED PROPERLY. DEALERSHIP REPLACED AT LESS THAN 1,000 MILES AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT A "QUICK LEARN" PROCEDURE WHICH IS BOGUS AND WASTES MY TIME. IT CLUNKS/SLAMS GEARS BETWEEN DOG CLUTCHES, I HAVE TO FLOOR IT TO GET IT TO DOWNSHIFT (AND IT'LL GO FROM SAY, 5TH GEAR TO 2ND GEAR, CAUSING PEEL OUTS), THE SHIFT QUALITY IS AWFUL ESPECIALLY IN LOWER GEARS; IT HESITATES BETWEEN R AND D (SOMETIMES 2-3 SECONDS), AND DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER AFTER SEVERAL DEALERSHIP VISITS. SOMETIMES IT'S AS IF THE CAR IS CONFUSED AND LETS ME REV CLOSE TO 4K RPM BEFORE IT FIGURES ITSELF OUT. I MISSED OUT ON THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT - PLEASE NHTSA DO SOMETHING. THESE CHEROKEES CONTINUE TO HAVE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND I'M TIRED OF FCA BLAMING ZF AND ZF BLAMING DRIVERS AND MANUFACTURERS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE UNMITIGATED DISASTER AND I'LL NEVER OWN ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH A ZF TRANSMISSION. JEEP DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE DOING. HOW HAS ZF REMAINED UNSCATHED? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY LIABILITY - IF MY VEHICLE CAN'T UTILIZE THE TRANSMISSION IT WAS GIVEN CORRECTLY THEN IT'S AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUES: 1. I CANNOT MERGE NORMALLY ONTO THE HIGHWAY - I HAVE TO FLOOR IT TO DOWNSHIFT AND IN MANY TIMES IT'S TOO MUCH POWER AND CAUSES TORQUE STEER. 2. IT DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT CORRECTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN, WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO ALMOST STALL MID-TURN UNTIL AGAIN, I FLOOR IT, AND IT PEELS OUT AROUND THE CORNER. ABSURD.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT LEFT THE ROAD. I SWERVED TO MISS A DOG. I HAD MY SEATBELT ON DURING THIS ACCIDENT HOWEVER MY HEAD (TOP, RIGHT FRONT OF MY HEAD) HIT THE WINDSHIELD GLASS AND THE GLASS BROKE/SHATTERED. MY HAIR WAS CAUGHT IN THE BROKEN CRACKS OF THE GLASS ON THE WINDSHIELD AND MY HAIR WAS PULLED OUT OF MY HEAD, I GUESS WHEN THE SEATBELT PULLED ME BACK INTO POSITION IT MANAGED TO KEEP MY HAIR LODGED. I GOT SMALL PIECES OF GLASS OUT OF MY SCALP FOR A WEEK. I HAD OTHER INJURIES AS WELL. EVERY SINGLE AIRBAG OF THIS CAR WAS DEPLOYED AND MY VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS ONLY GOING AROUND 45 MPH. I AM THANKFUL TO BE HERE SHARING THIS PASSAGE. I JUST HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE OUT HOW I MANAGED TO HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE MY SEATBELT WAS ON MY BODY AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.*DT*JB

I WAS AT A RED LIGHT TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. SUDDENLY, THE CAR STALLED. MY STEERING WHEEL WAS ALSO FROZEN THAT COULD NOT BE TURNED ANYMORE. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED "SHIFT THE GEAR TO P". MY STEERING WHEEL WAS ALSO FROZEN THAT COULD NOT BE TURNED ANYMORE. AFTER I DID THAT, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET BUT STILL VERY SCARY DUE TO STALLING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT STALLING BEFORE, BUT I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY JEEP; AND I DID NOT SEND MY CAR ANYWHERE FOR THIS MATTER.

'SERVICE SHIFTER' NOTIFICATION IS DISPLAYED. CAME ON A FEW TIMES WHILE DRIVING. TURNED CAR OFF AND IT GOES AWAY.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL ON THE 2015 JEEP TRAILHAWK. THIS IS REGARDING THE PTU AND ROLL AWAY PROBLEM. CHRYSLER ADMITS THAT IT HAS NO REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. A COMPUTER PATCH IS IT. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THAT IT WILL WORK. THIS MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE MADE TO BUY BACK THESE VEHICLES. FIRST IT WAS THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT IS NOW REPLACED IN MY CAR. THE SAME DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS IN THERE BEFORE. DOESN'T YOUR ORGANIZATION HAVE ANY POWER TO FORCE THESE MANUFACTURERS TO BUY BACK THESE CARS AS THESE VEHICLES ARE DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE OTHER DAY I STARTED THE CAR IN PARK AND IT SAID THAT I WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE.CONSUMERS PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR A CAR AND THE MANUFACTURERS PUT OUT JUNK. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STAND UP FOR THE CONSUMER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH DASH LIGHTS START BLINKING ON THEN OFF SEVERAL TIMES. AS I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY! I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED ENGINE. THEN AS I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE AUTO START /STOP WAS DISENGAGED AS I RESTARTED THE AUTO START STOP LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE STARTED. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. AS I DROVE THE DASH LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH ON AND OFF, NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT? THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO BOTH MY FAMILY AND OTHER MOTORISTS, AS TO THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AT WILL WITH OUT NOTICE OR WARNING OF ANY TYPE. THANK YOU PLEASE HELP ME I DO NOT WANT TO DIE FROM A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM! *TR

AN ERROR THAT CONTINUES TO COME AND GO IS TO 'SERVICE SHIFTER.' IT IS APPARENT THERE ARE MOMENTS THAT THE SHIFTER SPUTTERS, THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS (AUTOMATIC) AND REFUSE TO ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON FOR THIS. DEAL SHIPS DO NOT SEEM TO ACT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS EXTREMELY PREVALENT ONLINE. IT APPEARS TO BE BASED ON A FAULTY SHIFT IN THE VEHICLE OR BAD WIRING. HOWEVER, THE DEAL SHIPS ACT LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG BUT WILL CHANGE IT FOR YOU FOR AROUND $7,000. THE CAR SPUTTERING AND REFUSING TO SHIFT WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FROM FAULTY COMPONENTS AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. IT'S CLEAR A RECALL IS NEEDED FOR THIS. *TR

WHEN DRIVING, THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFTER (P,R,N,D,1,2) COME ON. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF TO CLEAR THE ISSUE. YOU ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CONCERN THAT THE SHIFTER WON'T WORK WHEN YOU TRY TO SWITCH MODES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WITH THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. GULFGATE CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 7250 GULF FWY, HOUSTON, TX (281) 477-6767, WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V343000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AT TIMES, AND DOES NOT SHIFT AT TIMES WHEN IT SHOULD. TRANSMISSION CREATES A JERKING SENSATION IN CAR.

MY CHILD PURCHASED VEHICLE (USED) FROM DEALER (MI.- APPROX.43,820).DISCOVERED POWERTRAIN ISSUES W/ VEHICLE THAT I BELIEVE ARE RELATED TO PREVIOUS RECALL (RE:CHRYSLER RECALL # S55). WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE IT WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGINE REVS UP, RESULTING IN LOSS OF FORWARD MOTION. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY.THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANS. MAY COME ON, BUT WILL GO OUT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER REGARDING THE PROBLEM. SERVICEMAN RECCOMENDED REPLACING TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF OVER $5000.00. PRIOR RECALL SERVICE ON VEHICLE (11/2016) SHOWS THE PROBLEM AS THE TRANSAXLE RANGE SENSOR WIRE HARNESS, BUT THE PCM AND THE TCM WAS RE-PROGRAMMED. THIS WAS DONE TWICE ACCORDING TO THE VEHICLE RECORDS. WE SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND MFG.ABOUT REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS, SINCE THE RECALL INDICATED THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE PROBLEM DUE TO BAD CRIMPING. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY CHECKED THE WIRING HARNESS AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THE DEALER AND MFG.NOT WILLING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF PROBLEM, LEAVING THE CONSUMER (MY DAUGHTER) WITH A CONTINUING INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND THE COST OF RESOLVING IT...(VERY DISAPPOINTED!) ALSO, THE VEHICLE STILL HAS THE TROUBLE CODE THAT THEY CAN'T CLEAR (CODE= P1DB7) NOTE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MI WHEN THIS ISSUE WAS BOUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION, BUT MFG. WON'T HONOR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE SHE IS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. DEALER WILLING TO REPLACE TRANS. AT COST OF OVER $5000.00...

OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING IS LEAKING. IT WAS FOUND BY TECHNICIANS DURING AN OIL CHANGE. *TR

MY CAR HAS CUT OFF TWICE. TOOK CAR TO FIRESTONE THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. HAD AN OIL CHANGE SINCE I WAS THERE. CALLED A CHRYSLER DEALER WHILE WAITING JUST TO FIND OUT OTHER PEOPLE WITH MY CAR HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. CAR CUTTING OFF. THEN ABLE TO RESTART. ALERT DING GOING OFF BUT NOTHING WOULD LIGHT UP. *TR

I HAVE WARNING LIGHTS KEEP FLASHING OUT OF CONTROL 3 LIGHTS KEEP STAYING ON THAT IS TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM AND CHECK ENGINE AND START STOP SYSTEM , PUT A CODE READER ON VEHICLE AND IT SAYS TRANSMISSION MODULE MY CAR WILL REV UP WHILE I N GEAR HESITATE AND THEN JERK REAL FAST AND START GOING SUPER FAST WITHOUT MY FOOT ON GAS. WHEN I SHIFT THE GEARS INTO REVERSE FROM PARK OR PUT IN PARK IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNK NOISE AND SHIFTS HARD. ALSO THE TAILGATE WHEN OPENING WILL OPEN UP AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT ON ME AND HAS HIT MY HEAD A FEW TIMES AND TRIED SHUTTING WITH ME IN THE WAY. I'VE REPORTED PROBLEMS TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES THEY SEND ME TO A DEALERSHIP FOR JEEP AND THEY TELL ME BATTERY NEEDS RESET AND SENT ME ON MY WAY AND I ASKED TO HAVE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AND THEY HAVE NO TRANSMISSION TECH. WHILE IN MOTION ILL TAKE MY FOOT OFF GAS TO SLOW DOWN WHEN COMING TO A CORNER OR STOP AND IT WILL SPEED UP ON ITS OWN CAUSING ME TO SLAM BREAKS QUICKLY. I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. IM NOT THE FIRST OWNER I WAS FINANCED THROUGH BUD CLARY AND THEY CAN NEVER HELP ME ALWAYS SEND ME TO NCCHORDS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP IF THERE IS ANY AVAILABILITY APPOINTMENTS. THE ISSUES I HAVE WITH VEHICLE ARE CONTINUOUS . REALLY STARED BAD WITH LIGHTS A FEW WEEKS AGO. HAD CAR SERVICED FOR REG SERVICE DATE ON 11TH AND THEY COULDN'T HELP WITH MY ISSUES RECOMMENDS ME MAKE APPOINTMENT WITH OTHER DEALERSHIP. ILL PUT THE ISSUES WITH CAR WHEN ITS BEEN A EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE TO THUS LAST MAY ON 1ST. I BOUGHT CAR ALMOST 1 YR AGO AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 JUNE 27TH 2019. *TR

TWICE IN 2 YEARS MY LUG NUTS HAVE COME LOOSE. TODAY 4 OUT OF 5 WERE MISSING. THIS COULD KILL PEOPLE. I'M LOOKING FOR A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

OUR 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE CAR TO JOLT AND JERK EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT WHEN SWITCHING GEARS OR WHEN AT A STOP AND THEN DRIVING. ALSO, DOES THE SAME WITH THE STAR/STOP FEATURE. THIS CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF NOT FIXED! JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY GET MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WEEKLY SINCE THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS MANY ISSUES WITH IT AND WAS USED ON 2014-2016 JEEP CHEROKEES. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 10 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE PAST COUPLE YEARS TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED BUT THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE IT WITH AN 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. *TR

TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES. HARD SHIFTS, SLOW SHIFTS, JERKS, AND HESITATES. FEELS LIKE IT IS LOW ON FLUID, ALSO FEELS LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDED US AT TIMES. HAVE ACTUALLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES THINKING WE WERE IN A WRECK. HAS HAPPENED MANY MANY TIMES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO FIX. *TR

I PURCHASED MAY JEEP CHEROKEE IN DECEMBER 2017. ON THE FIRST HOT DAY OF MAY 2020, I WENT INTO MY CAR, AND NOTICED THE DASHBOARD AREA ALONG WITH THE VENTS, HAD BEGAN TO MELT! IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE, BUT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE SUN. WHEN I TOUCHED THE VENT, MY FINGERS WERE COVERED IN THIS BLACK, GOOEY SUBSTANCE. NOT ONLY IS THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR DESTROYED, BUT MY CONCERN IS WHETHER THIS SUBSTANCE IS HAZARDOUS. ARE THERE CHEMICALS IN THE PAINT OR ANY TOXIC ELEMENTS? I HAVE SHOWED THE PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEM TO MANY PEOPLE. AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME ANSWER, WHICH IS, "I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE." I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED MY JEEP. MY AGENT IS CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO THIS. THE SECOND PROBLEM INVOLVES THE SHIFTER. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ARE LIT UP. I HAVE ALREADY HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE I THOUGHT I WAS IN "PARK" BUT IT TURNED OUT I WAS IN REVERSE. I FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN MY RESEARCH.*DT*JB*DT*JB*DT*JB*DT*JB

SERVICE SHIFTER SHOWS ON DISPLAY, ALL THE LIGHTS ON SHIFTER LIGHT UP. I LOOKED ON INTERNET AND MANY REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE ON MANY YEARS. ONCE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE WARNING GOES OUT, BUT COMES BACK ON IN A WEEK OR A MONTH. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO GET IT SERVICED. APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND MOTOR DIED WOULD NOT RESTART. MOTOR WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT RESTART. SINCE VEHICLE WAS IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA, PUT IN NEUTRAL AND FOLKS HELPED PUSH IT TO A SAFE AREA. CALLED TOW TRUCK. TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID IT ACTED LIKE A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, SO HE CHECKED THE FUSE FOR FUEL PUMP,IT WAS BLOWN, SO HE REPLACED. VEHICLE STARTED AND RAN FOR A MINUTE OR SO THEN MOTOR DIED. HE CHECKED FUSE AND IT HAD BLOWN AGAIN, SAID FUEL PUMP WAS BAD. TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP. AFTER INSPECTION BY SHOP, WAS TOLD THAT THEY "FOUND FUEL PUMP SHORTING OUT INTERNALLY CAUSING FUSE TO BLOW, NECESSARY TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AND FUSE." FIXED AND TEST DROVE CORRECTED PROBLEM. PER SERVICE INVOICE A MODULE KIT, FUEL PUMP/LEVEL UNIT PART NUMBER 68231311AB WAS REPLACED. SINCE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 45990 MILES ON IT, SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO FILE WITH NHTSA SINCE THE JEEP CORP. HAS HAD MANY FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. HE HAS BEEN SEEING A RASH OF THIS SAME ISSUE LATELY. SAID COULD BE A RECALL FOR A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN A VEHICLE JUST DIES WITH NO WARNING. *TR

AT STARTUP OF VEHICLE IN PARK AND KEYING ON, POWERTRAIN PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, 4WD TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE PARK BRAKE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, FLASHING TRACTION CONTROL ALL HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. WHILE IN MOTION, TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT BUT IS VERY ROUGH AND STARTS IN 4TH GEAR. ALSO THE 'D' IS FLASHING AND ODOMETER FLASHES WHILE IN MOTION. *TR

CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A STOP START FEATURE TO CONSERVE FUEL USAGE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND HELD AT A STOPLIGHT THE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING AS IT SHOULD. THE PROBLEM IS THE STOP START FEATURE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AS DESIGNED. THIS FEATURE HAS FAILED IN THE PAST AND REPAIRED MARCH 2018. FUNCTIONED NORMALLY UNTIL OCTOBER 2019 AND REMAINS IN A NOT WORKING CONDITION AS OF MAY 2020. *TR

THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS AFTER COMING TO A ROLLING STOP OR A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENS WITH THE AUTO START/STOP OFF. I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY OTHER TIME I DRIVE. *TR

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. IT ONLY COMES ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. IF I SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IT TEMPORARILY DISAPPEARS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M GOING 10 MILES OR 70 MILES, IT RANDOMLY COMES ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME UNLESS I DRIVE IT THERE WITH THE LIGHT STILL ON. I KNOW NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL? DOES IT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALL OR THE WIRING HARNESS THAT WEARS OUT FOR THE GEAR SHIFTER????

VEHICLE JUMPS BACK WHEN EXITING OFF INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEED TO LOWER SPEED. ONCE YIELDED OR STOPPED AND HIT GAS PEDAL TO MOVE, VEHICLE JUMPS, POPS, DOESN'T ENGAGE TO MOVE FORWARD ON ACCELERATION. WHEN STOPPING AT A SIGN, HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY STOPPED SO VEHICLE KICKS BACK THEN WHEN ACCELERATING, THERE IS A HESITATION. VEHICLE KINDA LEAPS FORWARD AT FASTER SPEED THEN WHAT PRESSURE IS ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES.

SHIFT GEAR PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING

THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" NOTIFICATION ON THE DASH FIRST CAME ON IN DECEMBER 2018 - I TOOK IT TO LARRY MILLER DODGE, THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. NOW, I'M GETTING THAT SAME MESSAGE AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO LARRY MILLER DODGE, AND WAS TOLD FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE AND FIX, IT HAS TO BE ON BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING. I DON'T RECALL THEM TELLING ME THAT THE LAST TIME I HAD IT IN FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. IN READING ONLINE, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON CARGURUS WEBSITE ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE. THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" COMES ON THE DASH, AND ALL THE RED LIGHTS LIGHT UP BY THE SHIFTER. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES OCCUR WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE OR START THE CAR. BUT IT'S STARTING TO APPEAR MORE FREQUENTLY. I WOULD SAY IT'S COME ON APPROX. 6-7 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. IT HAS COME ON BOTH IN MOTION AND JUST GETTING IN THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE IN THE MORNING. IT HAD HAPPENED BOTH IN THE CITY, AND ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

REFERENCE THE COMPLAINT LISTED BELOW ( NHTSA ID 11270672 ) ON OCTOBER 24, 2019. I HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE/PROBLEM CONCERNING THE GAS/FUEL CAP SENSOR SINCE NOVEMBER 2016. MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF HAVING IT FIXED AT LOCAL CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP WITH ZERO SUCCESS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE FROM THE REFERENCED COMPLAINT BELOW IS THAT I HAVE NOT HAD A VAPOR TEST NOR HAVE I REPLACED MY GAS CAP BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT; VERBATIM : 'THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED.' IN ADDITION; THE FUEL/GAS CAP ISSUE IS ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL ISSUES THAT I'VE ENCOUNTERED ALL WITH THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP ' 'IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WE CAN'T FIX IT'. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER BRANDED VEHICLE AGAIN. LESSON LEARNED AS THIS CHEROKEE IS 'AN EVEN SWAP' FOR MY ORIGINAL CHEROKEE THAT WAS BOTH NEWLY PURCHASED & DEAD (TRANSMISSION FAILURE) ALL WITHIN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2014. SO FOR THE OWNER IN CARY, NC WHO POSTED (SEE BELOW) ' YOU ARE NOT ALONE! ''-ORIGINAL COMPLAINT'- OCTOBER 24, 2019 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11270672 COMPONENTS: ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11270672 INCIDENT DATE JULY 17, 2017 CONSUMER LOCATION CARY, NC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER [XXX] SUMMARY OF COMPLAINT CRASHNO FIRENO INJURIES0 DEATHS0 MY GAS CAP LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS. I APPARENTLY AM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE AS THEY NEED A FLASH TO RESET THE MOTHERBOARD. IN THE MEANTIME TO RULE THINGS OUT I HAD TO HAVE THE VAPOR TEST DONE AND REPLACE THE GAS CAP WHICH OF COURSE SOLVEE NOTHING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE BATTERY DIED WE CHANGED IT TO A NEW ONE AND IT GAVE AN ERROR. THE GEARBOX GETS STUCK ONCE IN N, WHEN ITS IN N IT WONT CHANGE TO D OR R.

HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND SAYS SERVICE PARK BRAKE. THE TRACTION AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT IS ON. IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. JERKS REALLY BAD AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN YOU CAN GET IT TO SHIFT. MY JEEP WAS PARKED OUT FRONT OF MY HOUSE.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER SIDE LIGHT BULB 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS . I KEEP SPENDING 60-80$ FOR THESE REPLACEMENTS JUST FOR IT TO GO OUT IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. MY PASSAGES SIDE HAS NEVER GONE OUT , ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE . THE BULB ISN'T BURNT OUT , YET IT WON'T TURN ON . IT DID THIS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AT A STOP SIGN WAITING TO TURN OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD. LUCKILY MY FOG LIGHTS, WHICH HAVE NEVER WENT OUT ON ME, HELP ME SEE THE ROADS AT NIGHT . I JUST CAN'T RISK DRIVING AND GETTING A TICKET FOR THE HEADLIGHT OUT BUT I ALSO CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING THE ONE BULB THAT CONSTANTLY GOES OUT . THERE ISN'T ANY CONDENSATION IN THERE EITHER SO I'M NOT SURE WHY IT KEEPS GOING OUT .

HAD BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT I NEED NEW FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS AGAIN. THERE IS CHUGGING WITH MY TRANSMISSION, AND A LOT OF VIBRATION. I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD ANYTHING WITHOUT HAVING A MECHANIC TAKE EVERYTHING APART TO EXPOSE IT, AND I CAN'T AFFORD THAT AT THIS TIME.

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL LOCKED UP AND HAD TO HAVE A NEW WHEEL BEARING WAS NOT TRAVELING AT THE SAME SPEED AS THE OTHER WHEELS WAS STRANDED AND HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED FROM ST. LOUIS INTO SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS DID THEY MAKE YOU PAY FOR THE TOW JEEP DID NOT REFUND

HAPPENED AFTER I STOPPED TO GET GAS AT A SUBURBAN LOCATION) MARCH 2020: RADIO UNMUTED ITSELF MULTIPLE TIMES ON ITS OWN AND WHEN I PRESSED THE MUTE BUTTON-IT DIDN'T WORK (SUBURBS) MARCH 2020: AM-UNABLE TO ADJUST VOLUME-STUCK FOLLOWED BY BLARING VOLUME AFTER I HAD TURNED THE VOLUME BUTTON DOWN. LATER-SAME DAY-RADIO STATION CHANGED TO A RELIGIOUS STATION (NOT THE STATION I HAD ON PREVIOUSLY) AIR PRESSURE LIGHT GOES ON CONSTANTLY START AND STOP SYSTEM MESSAGE GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY THIS JEEP HAS JUST OVER 36,000 MILES. RADIO INCIDENCES HAVE OCCURRED BOTH WHILE SITTING STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING.

SHIFTER--THE VEHICLE IS RENDERED INOPERABLE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR TO DRIVE. WHILE WE'VE TRIED TO FIND A PATTERN, THE ISSUE'S RECURRENCE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND HAS YET TO BE DIAGNOSED DESPITE COUNTLESS TRIPS TO AND CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR DEALER AND WITH CHRYSLER. THIS IS THE SECOND REPORT WE'VE FILED ABOUT THIS VEHICLE WITH THE NHTSA (6/19/18). SUMMARY: THE DASH DISPLAYS/FLASHES "SERVICE SHIFTER"/ALL OTHER COMPONENT LIGHTS, WARNING BELLS RING AND EVERY GEAR LIGHT ON THE SHIFTER LEVER ILLUMINATES. SOME INCIDENTS PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM SHUTTING OFF/RESTARTING OR FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DEPRESS. WE'VE LEARNED WE MUST SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART, SOMETIMES 2-3 TIMES, IN ORDER FOR IT TO BECOME OPERABLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR VARYING AMOUNTS OF TIME. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND FOR OUR SAFETY WE MUST STOP, SHUT DOWN AND RESTART; IT ALSO HAS OCCURRED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT AT AN INTERSECTION OR OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, BOTH OF WHICH ARE FRIGHTENING SINCE WE FIND OURSELVES STUCK IN THE PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ACCELERATION ISSUES--IN ADDITION, ABRUPT LURCHING FORWARD, HESITATIONS AFTER STOPPING AND LACK OF ACCELERATION POWER (GAS PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR BUT CAR WON'T PICK UP SPEED) HAVE OCCURRED. WE HAVE HAD IT TO TWO DEALERS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MUST BE ON TO DIAGNOSE; THE ONE TIME IT WAS TESTED, THE EVENT WASN'T ACTIVE AND THE CODES WERE STORED (OVER 40 WERE DISPLAYED) AND OF NO HELP. THEY ONLY WILL SAY THAT THE CAR IS LOSING COMMUNICATIONS AND DESPITE ALL THAT'S BEEN DONE TO THIS POINT, CAN'T GUARANTEE THEY'LL EVER BE ABLE TO DETERMINE A FIX FOR IT. THE PCM HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED FOUR TIMES; TCM HAS BEEN REPLACED/UPDATED FOUR TIMES; SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY REPLACED; SHIFT LEVER GREASED; TRANS AXLE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED TWO TIMES; SHIFT LEVER BEZEL/WIRING REPLACED.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING VEHICLE, ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFTER (P R N D) TURN RED. SERVICE SHIFTER APPEARS IN DISPLAY AND REMAINS UNTIL VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. WILL NOT DISPLAY ODOMETER OR ANY OTHER INFO WHILE SERVICE SHIFTER IS DISPLAYED.

WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND AT ALL RATES OF SPEED, WHILE BRAKING, WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRONICS HAVE SHUT OFF. DIFFICULT TO SAFELY EXIT THE ROAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT. HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS NOW.

ZF 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION, IT IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE IN A LOW SPEED CITY DRIVING CONDITION, AT A LOW SPEED WHEN I PRESS GAS CAR WONT MOVE AND THEN SUDDENLY CAR JUMPS . JUST LIKE WHEN YOU RELEASE CLATCH IN A MANUAL CAR AT A HIGH RPM ,

DRIVING ON HWY. AND IT SAYS "PUT IN PARK" AND STOPS RUNNING. AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK THEN TRIED TO CRANK, WOULD NOT CRANK.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON ALMOST CONSTANTLY AND WILL NOT GO OFF. YOU CANNOT CLEAR IT UNLESS YOU PARK THE CAR TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.

THIS HAS HAPPED TO OVER 20 TIMES. WHEN PUTTING MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE, THE SCREEN DISPLAYS ' SERVICE SHIFTER' I HAVE TAKEN TO TWO DEALERS AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE BECAUSE CODE RESETS ITSELF. I AM WORRIED AS I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS THE DEALER CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO FIND THE PROBLEM

OIL COOLING HOUSING CRACKED IT COST ME $624 TO REPLACE. THE HOUSING IS MADE OF PLASTIC, THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S GOING LAST WITH THE HEAT OF THE ENGINE

MY 2015 JEEP ONLY HAS JUST OVER 45K MILES ON IT AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED. IT CAUSED A BURNING SMELL TO ENTER MY CAR WHEN I HAD THE AIR ON

CAR LOSES POWER IN THE FIRST 3-7 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I AM STARTING MY CAR, PULLING OFF, AND THE CAR LOSES POWER, SAYS SOMETHING PUTTING THE CAR IN PARKING GEAR. IT HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR IN THE MORNING. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN TEH REST OF THE DAY.

THERE WAS A RECALL A FEW YEARS BACK FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES, I TOOK IT IN TO GET FIXED AND IT WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN AFTER THAT IT WORKS ON AND OFF. I NOTICED WHEN IT GETS HOTTER THAN 80 DEGREES THE A/C WILL NOT ALWAYS TURN ON. I AM NOT SURE IF MY CAR WAS FIXED CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTIER FAILED TO SHIFT WHILE THE SERVICE SHIFTIER AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN MULTIPLE TIMES TO PERFORMANCE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM GEORGESVILLE, 1130 AUTO MALL DR, COLUMBUS, OH 43228, AND THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. PREVIOUSLY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PERFORMANCE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM GEORGESVILLE, 1130 AUTO MALL DR, COLUMBUS, OH 43228, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRDM BASIL IN HARNESS AND THE SHIFTIER HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER WITH AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE WAS UNSURE IF THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WAS THE EPS WARNING LIGHT. THE IGNITION WAS CYCLED OFF AND BACK ON BUT FAILED TO FIX THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUTE 46 CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE LOCATED AT 1655 US-46, LITTLE FALLS, NJ 07424 (973) 339-7752, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER NUMBER 3. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V676000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,262.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN L HEARD A LOUD BANG. MY CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY CAUSING ME TO SWERVE. I THEN HEARD THE WIND COMING IN FROM MY MOONROOF . I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TO ASSESS WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THERE WAS A HUGE HOLE IN MY MOONROOF WITH THE REST OF THE GLASS PROTRUDING UPWARD. NOTHING HIT MY MOONROOF IT HAD EXPLODED.

THE BRAKES LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND THE BRAKES LOCK AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. YOU'RE STUCK. IT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT STARTED INITIALLY APRIL 2018 AND THE DEALERSHIP KEPT IT FOR WEEKS- BUT WAS EVASIVE ON WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WAS. WHATEVER WAS DONE -DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IVE FOUND MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE DISCUSSING THE SAME ISSUES. EXAMPLE: HTTPS://WWW.JEEPCHEROKEECLUB.COM/THREADS/2015-CHEROKEE-BRAKE-SYSTEM-LOCK-UP.105530 THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAUSING SENSOR ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A COINCIDENCE

NOT SWITCHING GEARS PROPERLY. THERE'S A HARD JERK/THRUST WHILE TRYING TO AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH GEARS. THOUGHT I GOT REAR ENDED HOW HARD IT JERKED! WHILE TURNING ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY CAR HAS WENT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. WHICH CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ALMOST DID! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS CAN'T RECALL SPECIFIC DATES AND TIMES BUT JUST RECENTLY ON 02/09/2020

SERVICE SHIFTER KEEPS COMING ON. I'VE TRIED TAKING IT TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT IT'S ALWAYS OFF WHEN I TAKE IT AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM IF IT'S NOT COMMUNICATED THAT IT HAS ONE!

TRANSMISSION LURCHES WHEN SHIFTING GOING DOWN THE ROAD. HESITANT TO START MOVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN COASTING DOWN HILL FEELS AS IF TRANSMISSION SHIFTS IN TO NEUTRAL AND VEHICLE BEGINS TO ACCELERATE. ALL INSTANCES WERE ON CITY STREETS.

WENT TO START VEHICLE AND ALL SHIFTER LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL AS A MESSAGE WHICH READ "SERVICE SHIFTER". WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. LATER RESTARTED VEHICLE AND MESSAGE WAS GONE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT APPEARS THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS SITE.

VEHICLE HESITATES FROM STOP AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS LURCHES FORWARD. VERY CONCERNING WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AS YOU ARE NEVER SURE HOW QUICKLY IT WILL ACCELERATE. HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

ON AT LEAST 10 OCCASIONS FROM AUG 2017 - FEB 2020, WHILE DRIVING THE 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE, THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD LIGHT UP AND THE DISPLAY WOULD INDICATE "SERVICE SHIFTER." THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD DISAPPEAR ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND COULD NOT BE REPLICATED ON COMMAND FOR A MECHANIC TO EVALUATE.

BEGINNING IN 2018 UNTIL PRESENT, THE 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE DELAYS SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. THIS TYPICALLY OCCURS WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR YIELD SIGN. THE RESULT IS A HESITATION OF THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN LURCH FORWARD. THIS DANGEROUS MANEUVER HAS CAUSED MANY NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS AND IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE.

SINCE 2015 WHEN THE JEEP WAS PURCHASED I HAVE HAD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE RPMS WOULD GO UP TO 3 OR 4 AND I WAS NOT ACCELERATING THE GAS WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT ACTED LIKE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS . THE JEEP DEALER COULD NOT FINE ANYTHING WRONG AND WOULD UPDATE THE COMPUTER, IT WOULD LAST FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEN THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN. ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 8TH 2020 I PARKED THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND RETURNED 3 HOURS LATER TO A CAR THAT WOULD NOT START , LIGHTS WOULD WORK AND THE BATTERY APPEARED DEAD. I GOT A HOTSHOT TO TRY TO START THE CAR. IT DID START BUT THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING , NO POWER BRAKES, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND THE LIGHTS WERE CLICKING OFF AND ON. THE CODE STATED SERVICE TRANSMISSION RESTART IN PARK WITH VEHICLE AT ZERO SPEED. AND WOULD CHANGE TO SERVICE PARK BRAKE. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR IT WOULD TURN ON AGAIN AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY WILL LOOK AT IT ON MONDAY FEB, 10TH. I WILL KNOW MORE AT THAT TIME.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER NOTIFICATION HAS COME IN MULTIPLE TIMES. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TO BE FIXED TWICE. IT HAS SINCE COME ON AGAIN. IT SOMETIMES COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED, OTHER TIMES IT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT, THE 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SUDDENLY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 45MPH WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED. THE JEEP FINALLY SLOWED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON AGAIN. WHEN PLACED IN 'DRIVE' THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD THUD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN 'PARK' IT MADE A GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE'S PARKING BRAKE SUDDENLY ENGAGED AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF; THIS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WAITED 30MIN FOR A TOW TRUCK TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO A FIRESTONE FOR EVALUATION. FIRESTONE INDICATED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE THEN HAD TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO WHITTEN BROTHERS JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL LIKELY NOT BE COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY DUE TO THE TIME REQUIREMENT. THE 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE ONLY HAS 83,000 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN JAN 2016 AND EXPECTED THE VEHICLE TO LAST 15-20 YEARS. IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING TO WORK INSTEAD OF A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH VEHICLES DRIVING 65+ MPH; THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES TO MY WIFE AND UNBORN CHILD. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT JEEP IS OBVIOUSLY NOT TAKING SERIOUSLY.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AT 86,000 MILES, WENT OFF AFTER TURNING MY VEHICLE OFF. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG, NO CODES, NOTHING. IT JERKS A LOT WHEN AT SLOW SPEEDS PULLING OUT SOMEWHERE AND GOING DOWN A HILL.

THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND RENDERING THE BRAKES AND THE GAS INEFFECTIVE... THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND IT SHUT OFF. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP, SHIFT TO PARK, AND RESTART THE ENGINE... IT PROCEEDED TO HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES, NO MATTER HOW FAST I WAS DRIVING.

AFTER 10 DAYS VEHICLE STAYING IN MY HOUSE NOT USING I TRIED TO START ENGINE AND MY BATTERY WAS DOWN. BUY NEW BATTERY AND INSTAL AND WHEN I START THE ENGINE I GET ON MY DASH BUNCH OF WARNING LIGHTS ON AND MESSAGE. SERVICE PARKING BRAKE MY TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND WHEN YOU TRY TO SWITCH FROM PARKING TO DRIVE OR REVERSE GETTING CLUNK NOISE AND DRIVING ONLY IN ONE SPEED MAYBE 4 OR 5TH SPEED ON DASH BLINKING D OR R AND ODOMETER

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE KEEPS POP UP RANDOMLY. IT STARTED AT AROUND 70,000 MILES. ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY. THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEE. IS THERE GOING TO BE A RECALL?

I HAVE A "SERVICE SHIFTER" ERROR ILLUMINATING ON MY SCREEN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON THE SHIFT ITSELF. I TURN THE CAR BACK OFF AND THE LIGHTS GO AWAY, BUT THEY ALWAYS COME BACK ON. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ONLINE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE FORUMS EVERYWHERE ABOUT THIS. MANY PEOPLE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND GET IT FIXED AND IT DOESN'T FIT THE PROBLEM, JUST CREATES NEW ONES SO THEY ARE WASTING THEIR MONEY. MY ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN MY CAR IS IN PARK. NOT WHILE MOVING.

I WAS APPROACHING A 4 WAY STOP WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, GOING APPROX. 10MPH. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES BUT WAS UNABLE TO STOP, MAKING ME GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITH VEHICLES TURNING INTO MY LANE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ROCK SOLID AND LOCKED UP, AND WAS UNABLE TO BE PRESSED. DURING THAT TIME THE SERVICE ELCTRONIC BRAKING LIGHT POPULATED ON MY DASHBOARD.

CAR HAS 77000 MILES AND OFTEN HAS JERKY ACCELERATION. YESTERDAY, TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE AND CAR WOULD. IT ACCELERATE BYMEYONE 40MPH

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO INTO NEUTRAL. NORMALLY, I AM DRIVING 15-25 MPS, THE RADIO AND HEAT/AC IS OFF. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. WHEN IT GOES INTO NEUTRAL I PRESS THE BRAKE (WHICH IS HARD) AND I PUT THE CAR ON PARK AND AFTER THE THIRD OR FOURTH TRY, IT FINALLY TURNS ON. THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN DURING THE DAY. IT ONLY HAPPENS IN THE MORNINGS.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE THE WARNING CHIME GO OFF AND THE DASH READS "SERVICE SHIFTER"

THE SHIFTING IS DELAYED. I WILL BE STOPPED AND WHEN I GO TO START IT DELAYS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS WHEN PULLING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THE DELAY. IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START UP AND WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND HESITATED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCED INDEPENDENT ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HEMET CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALER, 425 MOTOR WAY, HEMET, CA 92545, (951) 225-4217, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF CYLINDER MISFIRE, LOW OIL LEVEL, LOW ENGINE COMPRESSION ON CYLINDER #2, OIL LEAK IN CRANKCASE, AND SCORING ON TWO CYLINDERS. THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW ENGINE, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS SWAPPED AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WIRES REINSTALLED. THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDED TO BE TORQUED TO SPECS AND THAT SOME NOISE FROM THE ENGINE WAS NORMAL OPERATION SOUNDS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE ISSUE WOULD RESOLVE ITSELF THE MORE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, CASE NUMBER: 71717548. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, WARNINGS AUTO/START/STOP SYSTEM FAILURE. 4WD TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. CAR STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. LOSES ACCELERATION CITY AND RURAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. ENGINE KNOCK FROM PREMATURE CAM SHAFT WEAR.

THE VEHICLES SERVICE SHIFTER COMES ON WHILE PARKED AND OR DRIVING (BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY) LOCKING THE DASH AS WELL AS LIGHTING UP THE GEARS. NEEDS REPLACED, IF IT'S NOT IT'LL LOCK UP AND PREVENT THE CAR FROM BEING PUT INTO PARK OR OTHER GEARS.

DRIVING ALONG, "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE NEXT RED LIGHT, WHEN I PROCEEDED TO GO, ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE CAR MOVED EXTREMELY SLOW LIKE IT WASN'T IN GEAR. THIS HAPPEN EVERY TIME I STOPPED AND STARTED ON THE RETURN HOME AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I DROVE IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPEN. HAD IT SERVICED AT DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SHORT IN WIRING HARNESS THAT GOES TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. SEE CODE S55 PERTAINING TO TRANSMISSION MAY SHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY TO NEUTRAL. 2014 & 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE DATED AUG. 6, 2106.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND THERE WAS A DELAY DURING ACCELERATION, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE MORE THAN A FEW MILES PER HOUR, SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID BEING HIT. I WAITED A WHILE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN I TRIED DRIVING HOME, IT STARTED VERY SLOW UNTIL I GOT GOING AND THEN IT JERKED AND SHIFTED RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT RESET/ UPDATED.

I PURCHASED VEHICLE NOVEMBER 2018 AND HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED AS OF DECEMBER 2019 MY VEHICLE WOULD STALL, SHIFT, AND CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WHICH VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY TO MYSELF, KIDS, AND OTHERS AROUND ME IN TRAFFIC.

THE SHIFTER LIGHTS UP RED IN ALL DRIVE NUMBERS AND LETTERS, WHEN DRIVING AND SITTING STILL, HAVE TO TURN OFF ENGINE THEN IT STOPS. I DONT WANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE SHIFTERS, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE!!

WHILE DRIVING, THE JEEP WILL TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY DUE TO THE ENGINE BURING TOO MUCH OIL. IT CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY STOPS AND CAUSES OTHER CARS TO SWIRVE OR TO HIT THE CAR. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE IS NO WARNING TO IT AND NO OIL LIGHT TO TELL ME THE ENGINE IS LOW OF OIL. IT ALSO HAS SEVERAL OTHER WARNINGS THAT COME ON FOR NO REASON. THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STOP THE CAR FROM GOING INTO PARK, AGAIN CAUSING THE CAR AND PASSENGERS TO BE IN DANGER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, EITHER GOING FAST OR SLOW. IT COMES WITHOUT WARNING AND WHEN I CALL ABOUT IT, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ALL WHO DRIVE THIS CAR AND CARS LIKE IT

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY LOW BEAMS 10+ TIMES THIS YEAR. THEY KEEP SHORTING OUR. ALSO HAVE TO HAVE MY ENGINE THERMOSTAT REPLACED EVEN THOUGH IT'S WORKING FINE. IT'S ELECTRICAL KEEPS CAUSING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. AND THE FIX IS REPLACING SOMETHING THAT IS FULLY WORKING. AND BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I CAN'T MAKW IT THROUGH DEQ TO GET TAGS FOR MY CAR. THIS IS THE 3RD (SEPARATE) ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR AND I'M DONE. KEEP SHOULD STAND UP FOR THEIR PRODUCT.

SINCE NEW, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION HESITATING AND LURCHING. FROM A STOP, OR FROM A SLOW SPEED SUCH AS WHEN COMING OUT OF TURNING A CORNER, THE TRANSMISSION WILL HESITATE TO "HOOK UP", AS THOUGH IT IS SLIPPING, THEN SUDDENLY THROW YOU FORWARD AS IT "HOOKS UP / CATCHES". IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN YOU MAY BE TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AS CROSS-TRAFFIC IS COMING, AND YOUR CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT THE SPEED YOU NEED IT TO, THEN SUDDENLY IT WILL LURCH FORWARD. AT OTHER TIMES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL CLUNK AT 40 MPH AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAS STRUCK THE CAR FROM BEHIND. WE HAVE HAD THE SOFTWARE FLASHED BY THE DEALERSHIP TWO OR THREE TIMES. USUALLY THIS WORKED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RETURNS. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION ISSUE IS THAT THE SHIFTER WILL MALFUNCTION, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, AND THROW AN ERROR CODE OF "SERVICE SHIFTER". WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. AGAIN, VERY DANGEROUS. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND THERE WAS A DELAY DURING ACCELERATION, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE MORE THAN A FEW MILES PER HOUR, SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID BEING HIT. I WAITED A WHILE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN I TRIED DRIVING HOME, IT STARTED VERY SLOW UNTIL I GOT GOING AND THEN IT JERKED AND SHIFTED RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT RESET/ UPDATED. I STILL OWE MORE THAN IT'S WORTH SO I CAN'T TRADE IT IN, I WILL BE LOSING MONEY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY JEEP NOW.

I WAS LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD YESTERDAY MORNING WHEN MY JEEP SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND WOULD NOT START. THANKFULLY I WAS STILL CLOSE TO HOME AND WAS ABLE TO GO HOME IN NEUTRAL! WHAT IF I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY? OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION! THE SCREEN SAID TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS STILL WORK BUT IT DOES NOT START. I AM FINANCING THIS JEEP AND HAVE HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS FROM A DEALERSHIP. I DONT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARANTY AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS... I LOOKED UP ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND FOUND IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS TO MINE OF THEYRE NEW JEEPS JUST SHUTTING OFF MID DRIVE. THIS NEEDS TO BA ADDRESSED. IM TERRIFIED OF THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER. ALSO, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ARMORY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF ALBANY (926 CENTRAL AVE, ALBANY, NY 12205, (518) 641-7777) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURES RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT WOULD SUDDENLY TURN OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CALLED GATOR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 840 S HARBOR CITY BLVD, MELBOURNE, FL 32901, 321-724-6611) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR GEAR SHIFT ISSUE AS WELL AS A BLOWER MOTOR 3 TIMES. IF I REPLACE THIS BLOWER MOTOR IT WILL BE THE 3RD IN 2 YEARS. THE GEAR SHIFTING ISSUE WAS SUPPOSEDLY JUST AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE UPON RETURNING WITH THE SAME ISSUE I WAS TOLD AN ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY ON MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. A SUPPOSED RECALL EXISTED BUT PER JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WAS ONLY FOR CARS BUILD IN 2014 IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. HOWEVER IN A FOLLOW UP CALL TODAY 12/13/2019 JEEP WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY RECALL RELATED TO THE GEAR SHIFT OR ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT WOULD AFFECT THE GEAR SHIFT OR TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A TRACKING OF CALLS, EMAILS, REPORTING OF ALL RELATED ISSUES TO JEEPS BUILT IN 2014 LABELED AS 2015 THAT POTENTIALLY HAVE THESE ISSUES AND A RESPONSE TO HOW MANY VEHICLES NEED TO BE INCLUDED TO WARRANT A RECALL. THE VEHICLE ISSUES HAPPEN BOTH IN PARK, DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND IN REVERSE.

VEHICLE HAS HAD HARD SHIFTING AND LURCHING GOING DOWNHILL SINCE IT WAS NEW. TRANSMISSION HARNESS REPLACED UNDER RECALL-NO FIX. TRANSMISSION REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND SOFTWARE UPDATES INSTALLED-BETTER. 1-2 YEARS LATER TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO NEXT GEAR (4-5) UPON ACCELERATION SO HARD YOU NEARLY GET WHIPLASH. AT DEALERSHIP AGAIN AS I WRITE THIS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT HAS COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING.. PRND ALL LIGHT UP. GOES AWAY AFTER CAR IS RESTARTED.

FAULTY OIL COOLER. HAVE REPLACED THIS PART 4 TIMES NOW AND THE OIL AND COOLANT STILL LEAKS EVERYWHERE. THE PART SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND PLASTIC RUBBER GASKETS THAT ATTACHES TO A METAL FRAME. AND OF COURSE IT GOES OUT RIGHT OUT OF THE WARRANTY WINDOW.

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK. WAS PARKED WHEN SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T ALLOW VEHICLE TO DRIVE. COULD NOT DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN 2 DAYS. SET UP SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID WATER WAS GETTING INTO THE PARKING BRAKE MODULAR AND CORRODING IT IN THE WIRING HARNESS THE PARKING BRAKE MODULAR AND CORRODING IT AND THE WIRING HARNESS.

WHILE DRIVING SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON SCREEN & ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFTER ARE RED. CITY STREETS & HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SHUT OFF CAR & THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT GOES OFF.

CAR WILL TURN OFF. TURN THE KEY AND PULL IT OUT, CAR STAYS RUNNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, CAR IS IN A POSSESSED STATE WHERE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON AT ALL TIMES, TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK, WIPERS DO NOT WORK, HORN DOES NOT WORK. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO CODES, SO NOTHING THEY CAN DO. PULL THE BATTERY CABLE OFF TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN. THIS WILL HAPPEN MID DRIVE SO ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'LL LOSE YOUR TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS, HORN, BRAKE LIGHTS, DOOR LOCKS, AND MAIN LIGHT CONTROL. WHEN YOU PULL OVER, ONLY WAY TO TURN THE CAR OFF IS TO PULL THE BATTERY CABLE.

I WAS LEAVING MY CONDOMINIUM, SOON AFTER STEPPING THE PEDAL, BRAKE THAT MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER, THEN VEHICLE STOPPED WALKING. I WAS TRYING TO CALL AGAIN, TO PARK THE SAME INSIDE MY PARKING SPACE INSIDE THE CONDOMINIUM, STARTED TO MAKE A VERY LUCKY NOISE AND NOT CALLING, HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE WITHOUT STARTING AND STILL CALL A WINCH, TO TAKE TO MY RELIABLE MECHANIC, THAT UNTIL TODAY WE CAN NOT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THIS VEHICLE, WHENEVER WE PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE MESSAGE APPEARS AND DOES NOT START THE VEHICLE.

SHUTS OFF AFTER STARTING, DISPLAY SCREEN BLACKS OUT AND RADIO DOESN'T WORK, ENGINE LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF. HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING SETTINGS KEEP RESETTING TO HALFWAY BETWEEN HOT AND COLD. SHUTS OFF AND SLAMS INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL. GEARS DROP HEAVILY WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. COMPUTER KEEPS RESETTING. THESE THINGS USUALLY OCCUR AFTER STARTING AND PULLING AWAY. YOU NEED TO STOP AND RESTART THE JEEP. THESE THINGS HAVE ALSO OCCURRED AT 65MPH. THIS HAS STEADILY BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE GEAR FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL LUKE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2425 W CAMELBACK RD, PHOENIX, AZ 85015, (602) 249-1234) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY TERMINAL AND FUSE BOX FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

THIS IS FOLLOW UP TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINT 11281573: DEALER RECEIVED JEEP VIA TOW AND FOUND STUCK IN NEUTRAL AS I DESCRIBED. LET SIT OVERNIGHT AND DEALER INDICATES JEEP WILL ONLY GO IN REVERSE, LATER IN DAY SECOND TRY JEEP DRIVES FINE AND NO CODES TO REPORT A PROBLEM TO FIX. CANNOT IDENTIFY FAILURE SINCE NO "CODES" WERE AVAILABLE IN SYSTEM. DEALER DROVE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT PROBLEM OF GOING INTO NEUTRAL OCCURRING. I PICKED UP VEHICLE AND DROVE HOME. NEXT MORNING WHILE MAKING A SIGNALED LEFT TURN NO CITY STREET, JEEP GOES INTO NEUTRAL, COAST TO ADJACENT PARKING LOT CROSSING OVER ONE LANE AND STOP. VEHICLE ENGAGES INTO DRIVE SO I PROCEED. RETURNING HOME A FEW MINUETS LATER AND AT ABOUT 50 MPH JEEP AGAIN GOES INTO NEUTRAL, I REMOVE FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR BUT ENGINE ACCELERATES TO ABOUT 5500 TO 5800 RPM AS I COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD (QUITE SHAKEN AT THIS POINT DUE TO ACCELERATED ENGINE). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON DURING THIS EPISODE. WAIT A FEW MINUETS TO CALM DOWN AND RESTART JEEP. TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AND RETURN TO DEALER. DEALER FINDS CODE IS DUE TO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHEEL SPEED AND ENGINE SPEED- NOT TRANSMISSION RELATED. SEVERAL SERVICE TECHS DRIVE JEEP THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITHOUT PROBLEM. LATER IN DAY DRIVER EXPERIENCES NEUTRAL CONDITION 3 TIMES WHILE TEST DRIVING- STILL NO CODES TO ID PROBLEM. ADVISER CONTACTS MOPAR EXTENDED WARRANTY (MAX CARE UNLIMITED MILEAGE) BUT CANNOT GET AUTH TO REPAIR WITHOUT "CODES". DEALER HAS OPENED A "STAR CASE" WITH FACTORY.

I HAVE 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. SOMETIMES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN IS GONE AFTER FEW HOURS OR DAY. SOME TIMES MESSAGE BLINKING "SERVICE PARK BRAKE SERVICE TRANSMISSION" THEN LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH SYSTEM DOES NOT SAVE CLOCK TIME OR A/C PUT ME ON HEATH AND AUTO LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON. SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR AND RELEASE THE PARK BARK BRAKE CAR JUMPS HARD TWO OR THREE TIMES AND AFTER I TURN ENGINE OFF WITHOUT USING PARKING BRAKE AND BACK ON EVERYTHING IS FINE.THE CAR ONLY HAS 55000 MILES. I'M SO AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR BECAUSE DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPENED

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE DAY 1. WHEN YOU SHIFT TO DRIVE AND HIT THE GAS IT WILL MOVE FORWARD A FEW FEET AND THEN STOP AND STICK THERE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WILL KICK REALLY HARD IN TO GEAR AGAIN. IT'S GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME AND NOW I DON'T DARE PULL AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN UNLESS I SEE NO CARS COMING FOR FEAR OF BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I'VE TAKEN BACK TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT THEY'VE NEVER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THEY NEW IT WAS AN ISSUE WHEN IT WAS MANUFACTURED.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS MAJOR OPERATING ISSUES. I AM EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTS, DELAYS IN POWER AT START AND IN MIDDLE OF TURNS. MOST SERIOUSLY NOW THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER OUT OF THE BLUE. I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN IT HAD NO POWER AND I HEARD A GRINDING NOISES FROM TRANSMISSION

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH IN FAST LANE OF MAJOR HIGH, SLIGHT UPHILL GRADE, ENGINE RPM INCREASED RAPIDLY AND LOSS OF POWER TRANSFER TO WHEELS AS IF IN NEUTRAL. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD (FORTUNATELY LIGHT TRAFFIC) AND AT ABOUT 25 MPH TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND I RETURNED TO HIGHWAY. IN ABOUT 5 MORE MILES SAME LOSS OF POWER TO WHEELS OCCURRED AND THEN RE-ENGAGED AS VEHICLE CAME TO STOP. FOLLOWING DAY, AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES WHILE AT 55 MPH, JEEP AGAIN LOST CONNECTION TO WHEELS AND ENGINE RPM INCREASED. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROADWAY (LOCAL COUNTY ROUTE WITH MODERATE 2-WAY TRAFFIC), STOPPED ENGINE. STARTED ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES BUT TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR (REVERSE, FWD ETC.) IN ANY SELECTED GEAR LOCATION. THIS JEEP HAS ACTIVE DRIVE II. HAD JEEP TOWED TO AUTHORIZED SERVICE. DEALER RESPONSE POSSIBLE OVERHEATED PTU, WILL REQUIRE FURTHER INVESTIGATION. MY RESEARCH INDICATES MAY BE PART OF RECALL S55/NHTSA 16V-529.

THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVING ON 11/4. JEEP'S DOAGNOSTICS STATES THERE ARE ENGINE ISSUES SPECIFICALLY WITH THE CAMS PART WHICH CAUSES FOR THE CAR TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLEY AND CAUSE MAJOR RISK LEADING TO ACCIDENT AND DEATH. THE ENGINE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A 4-YEAR OLD CAR/ENGINE TO FAIL WITH THAT SHORT LIFE SPAN

THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' LIGHT HAS COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DAY. I HAVE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, BUT IT STILL SHOWS UP AS SOON AS I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT I'VE ALWAYS JUST BEEN ABLE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND IT WOULD BE FINE.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE MODULE CONNECTOR WATER INTRUSION WHICH CAUSES THE MODULE TO SHORT OUT AND THE WIRING HARNESS CORROSION. THIS CAUSES THE PARKING BREAK TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS ALSO PROMPTS AN ERROR THAT THE 4WD IS UNAVAILABLE. CONFIRMED WITH PATRIOT JEEP IN OAKLAND MD THAT THE 4WD WILL NOT WORK ON 11/18/2019. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO MOVE FROM MY DRIVEWAY BY PUTTING MY SEAT BELT ON AND HOLDING THE BREAK, AND THEN PRESSING THE GAS TO RELEASE THE PARKING BREAK. MOPAR TOLD ME THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO FIND A BULLETIN PUBLISHED BY MOPAR ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT APPEARS THERE IS WATER GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE CAUSING CORROSION WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT IF SOMEONES BRAKE WOULD ENGAGE, OR 4WD WOULD FAIL IN INCLEMENT WEATHER.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. THE CAR WILL RUN AND THEN START RUNNING REALLY ROUGH FOR NO REASON AND USUALLY STALLS OUT. TODAY IT RAN FINE AND STALLED OUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. I ATTACHED SOME P CODES TO THE COMPLAINT AS WELL AS THEY CONSISTENTLY COME UP WITH THE ISSUE. I'VE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS, THE 2ND CYLINDER COIL IGNITION START PACK AS THAT WAS ONE OF THE ISSUES FROM THE P CODES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I'M TAKING THIS INTO A JEEP DEALER ON 11/22. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THE ISSUE PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN FIND A SOLUTION. MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. IMAGES OF THE P CODES ARE ATTACHED FOR REFERENCE.

MY VEHICLE'S EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE CONTINUES TO REMAIN IN THE ON POSITION, PREVENTING ME FROM DRIVING MY CAR FROM TIME TO TIME, KILLING MY BATTERY POWER MULTIPLE TIMES-I HAVE REPLACED MY BATTERY TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR. I HAD THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN WHITE BEAR MN CHARGE ME $185 FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THE TELL ME I HAVE TO FULLY REPLACE THE BRAKES CONTROL BOX WITH A COST OF MORE THAN $800 AND MENTIONED THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS DUE TO THE TIME FRAME, BUT MY CONCERN HAS BEEN EXPRESSED SINCE I'VE OWN THE CAR IN 2015 AND ONLY HAVE 65,000 CURRENTLY ON THE CAR THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AND YET AFFORD TO FIX SINCE I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT. PLEASE HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING INDICATOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED MOMENTARILY. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO SEIZED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURES LASTED BRIEFLY AND THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. YOU CAN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AND IT WILL GO OFF. NEXT TIME IT IS STARTED IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN. I AM UNSURE IF THIS IS DANGEROUS OR NOT BUT NEEDS ADDRESSED ACCORDING TO FORUMS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

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

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE, OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS WITH IT STOPPING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I'VE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FLASHING UPDATE. ANOTHER TIME I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE AND WILL OFTEN TURN THE ENGINE OFF BECAUSE OF THIS. YET I NEVER GO PAST MY MILEAGE FOR MY SERVICES. I ALWAYS HAVE THAT TAKEN CARE OF WHEN DUE. NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME IN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. NO MESSAGE OF WHY IT'S ON, BUT I DID NOTICE IT WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING. NOW SOME OTHER LIGHT IS FLASHING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL IS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT'S FRIEND OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN IT RAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CARMAX (16110 NORTH FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77090, (281) 209-1333) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WATER GETTING INTO THE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V826000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

THE DASH WARNING LIGHT IT TELLS ME TO SERVICE THE SHIFTER BUT EVERY MECHANIC I TALK TO SAYS IT NOT SERVICEABLE IT EFFECTS THE MANUAL SHIFTING WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON IT WONT SHIFT MANUALLY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IT WILL COME ON AND I TURN THE ENGINE OFF WHEN I TURN IT BACK ON ITS OFF IT DOESN'T ALWAYS COME ON BUT IT IS COMING ON MORE OFTEN IT COMES ON WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SOMETIMES IT COMES ON WHEN I START IT IF IT WAS ON WHEN I SHUT IT OFF IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING IT JUST COMES ON

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON IT HAPOENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND MOTION AT DIFFERENT TIMES AT FIRST IT WOULD COME ON THEN WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT WOULD NOT BE ON HOWEVER FOR THE PASS WEEK IT COMES ON MORE FREQUENTLY IT OCCURS WHETHER IM DRIVING ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY

HAVE HAD 2015 JEEP SINCE 19000 MILES NOTHING BUT ISSUES AFTER PURCHASE. SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON HAD IT LOOKED AT THEY FIXED THE SHIFTER. A MONTH LATER SAME LIGHT THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE WIRING AND A BEZEL. WELL GUESS WHAT'S BROKEN AGAIN AND I'M NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS PART KEEPS FAILING WHY DO I NEED TO KEEP PAYING FOR A BAD DESIGN. WHY CAN'T THEY FIGURE IT OUT. ALSO MY CAR HAS HAD A HARD SHIFT AT 40 MPH CANT WAIT FOR THAT BILL. CAR IS ALWAYS IN MOTION WITH FAILING SHIFTER.

AT 28,000 MILES MY JEEP CHEROKEE HAD THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COME ON PERIODICALLY AND IT WOULD JUST DISAPPEAR WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED. NO ONE WAS ABLE TO RESEARCH THE ERROR BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT REMAIN ON AND THERE WAS NO DOCUMENTATION IN THE MANUAL ON HOW TO RESOLVE. AT 40,000 MILES THE ERROR BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND AT 42000 MILES IT BECAME CONSTANT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SHIFTER COMPONENT AND THEY WERE ORDERING A BEZEL TO INSTALL AT A VERY EXPENSIVE COST. EVERY JEEP FORUM SHOWS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE HAS STALL OUT 3 TIMES ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE CONSUMES OIL AT A FAST RATE AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, WHEN LOW, WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. NO WARNING, NO OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ALERTS, CAR SIMPLE STALLS. I AM AFRAID THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND ME AND ANY OCCUPANT WILL BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE NOTICE THE SAME COMPLAINT NUMEROUS TIMES ON LINE.

SO I HAVE 2 DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION. FIRST ISSUE IS WHEN YIELDING ( NOT STOP) ILL GIVE MY JEEP GAS, IT FEELS AS THOUGH IM IN NEUTRAL AND MY ENGINE RPM GOES UP WONT MOVE, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'LL FIND ITSELF PEEL OUT AND TAKE OFF AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS OR SO. SECONDLY WHEN COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP TAKING OFF ONCE THE JEEP GETS TO ABOUT FOURTH OR FIFTH GEAR OR SO THE RPM GETS TO ABUT 3,000 BEFORE SWITCHING TO NEXT GEAR IT MAKES THIS HUGE KNOCK SOUND AND IT FEELS LIKE I JUST HIT A HUGE POT HOLE. BOTH THESE ISSUES ARE INTERMITTENT. BUT ITS REALLY SCARY WHEN HAPPENS WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO SLOW DOWN AND DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT LEAST TEN TIMES WITHIN A SIX MONTH PERIOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB BAKER JEEP (5555 CAR COUNTRY DR, CARLSBAD, CA 92008), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

SINCE PURCHASING 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE IT HAS BEEN MORE AT THE DEALERS THAN MY HOME. IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE, PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION, SENSORS, AND RADIO ETC. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SUBSTANTIAL DEFECTS AND IT CONTINUES TO DO SO. THIS FALLS UNDER THE LEMON LAW. IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT I AM SEEKING AN ATTORNEY, IF MY WARRANTY IS NOT EXTENDED AND THIS IS NOT FIX AT NO CHARGE TO ME. LAST NIGHT THE JEEP STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH WARNINGS OF (SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR) AND SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS IS MY LIFE YOU ARE PLAYING WITH, FOR YOU'RE ON GOING DEFECTS. I AM A LOYAL JEEP CUSTOMER. I HAVE A JEEP WRANGLER, JEEP COMPASS AND SEBRING CHRYSLER. ALL I AM ASKING IS FOR MY PIECE OF MIND AND NOT WORRY ABOUT PAYING FOR ANYTHING WHEN I HAVE A DEFECTED AND IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE RESPOND AND SOLVED THIS PROBLEM ASAP. THANKS AGAIN AND HAVE A BLESS DAY.

CHECK SHIFTER MESSAGE. WHILE DRIVING. ALL THE LIDHTS ON THE CONSOLE LIGHT UP. (P.R,N,D,S ) INTERMITTENET PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE WEATHER RELATED (TEMPERATURE CHANGE), THE DEALER HAS FLASHED THE COMPUTER SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON OR REGISTER A CODE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR OVER A YEAR. DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. CURRENTLY AT 27300 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. STEVENS CREEK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4100 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, SAN JOSE, CA 95129, (408) 248-1800) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

CAR WENT INTO ' LIMP' MODE. TRACTION CONTROL WENT OFF, MESSAGE, 4-WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT AVAILABLE. MY CAR LOST POWER AND I HAFT TO USE MANUAL MODE TO SHIFT. DEALER STATED , THAT EVEN THOUGH I GAVE THEM THE TROUBLE CODES, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. SERVICE SHIFTER, LIGHT CAME ON BUT WHEN I RESTART IT GOES AWAY

WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE STREET I ALWAYS FEEL A JERKING WHEN I ACCELERATE AFTER BRAKING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR EXPRESSWAY WHEN I ACCELERATE I NOTICE A JERK AND WHEN I DECELERATE MY CAR SHAKES AND VIBRATES.

CAR TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE FAULTY. WHEN ACCELERATING IT WOULD STOP RISING IN RPM AND SPEED AND AFTERWARDS WOULD KICK BACK AND MAKE A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING HITTING.

MY GAS CAP LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS. I APPARENTLY AM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE AS THEY NEED A FLASH TO RESET THE MOTHERBOARD. IN THE MEANTIME TO RULE THINGS OUT I HAD TO HAVE THE VAPOR TEST DONE AND REPLACE THE GAS CAP WHICH OF COURSE SOLVEE NOTHING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL, THE "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" LIGHT CAME UP ON THE DASH. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON, SO I DIDNT THINK IT WAS AN ISSUE. TWO DAYS LATER I GOT INTO MY CAR AND TURNED ON THE ENGINE AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE. I HAD TO SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PARKING BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY COMES OFF IF YOU PUT YOUR SEAT BELT ON AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO D OR R. SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE LEVER TO REMOVE THE PARKING BREAK WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. EVERY TIME I PRESSED THE BUTTON, IT SAID SERVICE PARKING BRAKE. I ALSO READ ONLINE THAT A TSB WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE PARKING BRAKE MODULE IN THE REAR, AS WELL AS THE HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT WAS CORRODED. HOW WOULD SOMETHING THAT IS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, HIDDEN BEHIND THE SIDE PANELS GET CORRODED AND HAVE THE OWNER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE PLACED IN A LOCATION WHERE IT CANNOT GET WET OR CORRODED.

CAR SHIFTS REALLY HARD AND THEN, TODAY WHEN DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY TODDLER IN THE CAR MY CAR SHUT OFF AND SAID SHIFT TO PARK . FINALLY TURNED BACK ON .

CAR SEEMS TO DOWN SHIFT, SHIFT INTO NUETRAL, SHIFT OR JUMP OUT OF GEAR. SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON.HAS HAPPENED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER ALERTED ME THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE COMING FROM UNDER MY CAR. I PULLED OVER INTO AN EMPTY LOT AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR I SAW FLAMES FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. I STEPPED BACK AND WITHIN MINUTES THE ENTIRE FRONT ENGINE WAS CONSUMED WITH FLAMES.

DURING NORMAL OPERATION THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT VERY HARD AT INITIAL ENGAGEMENT OF THE POWER TRAIN AND SOMETIMES AFTER REACHING 4TH OR 5TH GEAR. THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD VERY HARD. THE SOME TIMES CAUSE A MAJOR WHIPLASH ACTION ON THE PASSENGER. SITTING AT A LIGHT THE POWER TRAIN WILL NOCK HARD WHEN ENGAGING THE GEARS, ALSO AFTER REACHING ABOUT 10MPH IT SEEMS TO MISS A GEAR.

DRIVING 55 ON RURAL HIGHWAY, TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARS. CAR WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT OR UP SHIFT. PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. ISSUE SEEMED TO GO AWAY AND GET ME TO MY DESTINATION. UPON MY RETURN TRIP ISSUE ALSO RETURNED 4 MORE TIMES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK, HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING ON SOME OF OUR ROADS IT COULD EASILY CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. CAR HAS HAD ISSUES BEFORE WITH SERVICE SHIFT MESSAGES, AS WELL AND A SLEW OF OTHER ISSUES DOCUMENTED BY THE DEALER. ALL TO DO WITH POWERTRAIN.

WE BOUGHT A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE IN 2016 AND WITHOUT BEING TOLD OF THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES. WE HAVE HAD OUR JEEP IN THE SHOP FOUR TIMES WITH TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES OF SHIFTING HARD AND NOW GOING INTO NEUTRAL WHEN IN DRIVE AND THE BRAKES GOING HARD AND THE JEEP COMING TO A STOP. THE ANIT SLIDE HAS NOW CAME ON AND THE JEEP SHAKES . THE UPDATES CAME ONE DAY WHEN I WAS GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH AND THE JEEP WENT TO 30 MPH WITH MY GRANDKIDS IN THE CAR AND TWO DISELS ONE BEHIND ME BLOWING THE HORN BECAUSE HE ALMOST HIT ME AND ONE TO THE SIDE OF ME. MY HUSBAND WAS COMING HOME FROM A DR VISIT AGAIN THE JEEP WENT INTO A NEUTRAL STATE WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION AND THE JEEP STOPPED AND HE WAS ALMOST HIT THEN THE JEEP JERKED AND WENT INTO GEAR SO HE WENT INTO A SHOPPING CENTER AND HAD TO STOP AND KILL THE JEEP AND RESTART THE JEEP TO MAKE THE JEEP RESTART JUST TO GET IT HOME. IT WENT BACK TO THE SHOP THAT NIGHT! WE HAVE HAD THE JEEP IN THE SHOP FOR HARD SHIFTING WHEN TAKING OFF AND NOW IT IS HARD SHIFTING WHEN TAKING OFF AND DOWN SHIFTING, ANTI SLIDE RANDOMLY COMES ON, BRAKES ARE NOT PROPERLY STOPPING THE CAR. GO TO THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AND THEY ONLY OFFERED $7500 FOR IT WHEN WE OWE $15, 000 AND THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS. CALLED JEEP AND AWAITING A CALL, THEY STATED THEY HAVE TO CALL THE DEALER. IN THE MEAN TIME I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OURS IS TO UNSAFE TO DRIVE! THE JEEP IS STICKING IN GEAR AND THE TAC METER IS STAYING ON 3 OR 4. THEN WHEN YOU TURN THE JEEP OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. WE HAVE BACKED IT OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND PUT INTO DRIVE AND IT SHIFTS SO HARD INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. NOW SINCE THE LAST TIME WE PICKED IT UP FROM THE SHOP THE JEEP HAS NOW STARTED LOOSING POWER WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO DRIVE. WE HAVE PARKED THE JEEP AND DECIDED IT ISN'T SAFE!

AUTOMATIC START/STOP SYSTEM DOESN'T ALWAYS ENGAGE. THE TRANSMISSION STAYS IN 3RD GEAR AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE CAR HAS HIGH REVOLUTIONS AND JERKS UNIT IT DOWN SHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. CAUSING HESITATION IN ENGINE AND PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY IN CLOSE CALLS FOR ACCIDENTS.

3-4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT I GOT A "SERVICE SHIFTER SOON" MESSAGE AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT LIT UP. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER AND THEY "FIXED" THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, OUT OF WARRANTY, THE SAME MESSAGE AND LIGHTING OF THE GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS IS HAPPENING AGAIN. IT USUALLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER STARTING BUT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING A COUPLE OF TIMES.

FIRST THE JEEP COULD NOT MOVE WHEN WE TURN ON THE ENGINE IS ON, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIXED THAT PROBLEM SAYING IT NEEDED A BATTERY. WE LET THEM PUT THE BATTERY IN AND TOOK IT HOME, NEXT WE GET IN THE CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE, TURN ON THE IGNITION, AND A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD SAYING LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT OUT WE CHECKED THE LIGHTS ON THE JEEP AND THEY DID NOT COME ON, THE HIGH BEAM OR THE LOW BEAM. THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM TO ME AND THAT IS WHY I THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALLED VEHICLES, ALSO, THIS CAR IS LIKE NEW BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT MUCH BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD FROM IT. WHEN A CAR IS RUNNING AND CANNOT MOVE WE KNOW THAT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, NOW THIS! PLEASE HELP US NOW!

WHILE DRIVING A MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASH "SERVICE SHIFTER" WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. THE PRND LIGHTS ARE ALL RED. I COULD NOT GET THE MESSAGE TO GO AWAY.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF. THE DASHBOARD READ "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR". THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE ENGINE CAUSES THE STARTER TO RUN FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS AND THEN THE ENGINE WILL SLOWLY SPUTTER TO LIFE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND THERE ARE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SPANNING BACK OVER 4 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PERSISTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MALL OF GEORGIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (4345 BUFORD DR, BUFORD, GA 30518, (770) 945-0839) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE HARNESS AND BEZEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,118.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASHBOARD. TOOK CAR TO JEEP DEALER FOR SERVICE. ADVISES THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS ISSUE BUT NO RECALL YET. TSB 08-054-18 REV A ISSUED SEPT 2018. REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER BEZEL DISPLAY AND SHIFTER WIRING HARNESS. DEALER ADVISED THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY SAID THE SHIFTER IS NOT PART OF THE POWERTRAIN ? MY CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND THE BUMPER TO BUMPER ENDED AT 3 YEARS. THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS MYSELF. CAR ONLY HAS 39,000 MILES ON IT. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE PART OF THE POWERTRAIN ? IT CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION. REPAIR COST APPROX $530.00 DEALER STILL HAS MY CAR. THEY ADVISE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND IT WOULD BE 3 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAME IN. THEY ADVISE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I WOULD NEED TO RENT A CAR. FOR 3 WEEKS+. THIS WOULD COST ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEES FROM 2014 TO 2018 WITH THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY FILED COMPLAINTS WITH NTSB AND ARE WANTING A RECALL ISSUED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND ISSUE RECALL. ALSO PLEASE INVESTIGATE HOW FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER) CAN CLASSIFY THE SHIFTER AS NOT BEING PART OF THE POWERTRAIN. THAT IS A REAL STRETCH SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WORK ON CARS OVER 3 YEARS OLD. THANK YOU,. *TR

I HAVE THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMING ON REGULARLY. IT STARTED THIS SPRING AND HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY WON'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. THEY SIMPLY SAY TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE READ A LOT OF FORUMS AND SEE THAT DEALERSHIPS DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE, THEY SIMPLY REPLACE PARTS UNTIL THE ISSUE GOES AWAY. THE PROBLEM THEN COMES BACK ON AGAIN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. ONE INSTANCE THEY CHANGED THE SAME PARTS THREE TIMES. WHEN IS JEEP GOING TO STEP UP AND OWN THE PROBLEM? RIDICULOUS THAT A COMPANY WON'T STAND BEHIND A $35,000 VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE BETWEEN 60 AND 80 PMH AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE SERVICE SHIFTER POPPED UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIT UP RED ( LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE) AND I LOSE COMPLETE FUNCTION OF THE SHIFTER ALL TOGETHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES IN THE 15 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE (2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED) SELF ACCELERATED WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, AT TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM SHIFTING WHEN ACCELERATING (SLUGGISH/HESITANT) AROUND 30-40 MPH AND THEN ABRUPTLY DROPS INTO GEAR, JARRING THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. AT TIMES, WHILE ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO DELAY AND THEN ABRUPTLY DROPS INTO GEAR. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS JEEP AFTER THE THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION MULTIPLE TIMES TO CHECK THE SLUGGISH/HESITANT/HARD GEAR SHIFTING AND ALL THAT I AM TOLD IS THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I SHARED WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS ISSUE ONLY HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME AND IT IS UNLIKELY A MECHANIC DRIVING THE CAR FOR 10-15 MINS WILL BE LUCKILY ENOUGH TO EXPERIENCE THIS ODDITY, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. SO BASICALLY I AM BEING TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AS FAR AS THEY CAN TELL. THEY DID UPDATE THE SHAREWARE, BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES AND WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS MY MAIN CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR AND ALL THE INDICATORS ON THE SHIFTER ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT.

ON ROUTE 80 VEHICLE DWNSHIFTED, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AFFECTED. MILEAGE 9604 JULY 2, 2019. VEHICLE TOWED. AUGUST 30, 3019 IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT WAS LESS THAN 1 MILE AWAY, DROVE IT THERE PICKED UP VEHICLE ON 9-11-2019. MILEAGE 9817. DROVE IT 30 MILES AND CAME HOME. 7 HOURS LATER., SAME ISSUE AND WAS ONLY 2 BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE. VEHICLE TOWED AGAIN STATING SERVICE ANTI LOCK BRAKES SERVICE TRANSMISSION, CHANGE OIL, SERVICE PARKING BRAKE, 4WD UNAVAILABLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ANTI SKID LIGHT ON WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. STEERING, TRANSMISSION AND BRAKES AFFECTED. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. SAME ISSUE IN ALL 3 INSTANCES, SO THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE RECALLS ON THESE VEHICLES. SERVICE RECORDS ARE ATTACHED.

APRIL, 2019: EVERY THING ON THE DASH LIT UP. CAR STARTED TO ROLL AND WE HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR TO STOP IT. IT WOULDN'T GO INTO PARK, BUT PARKING BRAKE WORKED FOR A WHILE. CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF, LOCKS WOULDN'T WORK. NOTHING WORKED. TOWED TO DEALER WITH JEEP ON THE WHOLE WAY. A 18 MONTH OLD CHILD WAS WITH US. DANGEROUS. REPAIR DID A TCM FIX AND SAID THIS WAS A CATASTROPHIC EVENT THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. OCTOBER 2, 2019. PUSHED THE START BUTTON ' CAR STARTED BUT COULDN'T PUSH DOWN ON BRAKE. COULDN'T MOVE OUT OF PARK. WOULD TURN IT OFF AND IT WOULD TURN RIGHT BACK ON. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER - HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. IN ADDITION HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES FOR LAST TWO YEARS. CAR LURCHES WHEN GOING AROUND 30 MPH, STALLS A BIT WHEN JUST STARTING OUT DRIVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION

VEHICLE HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN WHEN IN GEAR. WHEN TRYING BACK OUT OF PLACES IT JERKS UNCONTROLLABLY. ITS ALSO DOES THIS WHEN WAITING IDLE AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. IT WILL JERK FORWARD AS SOON AS YOU LET OFF THE BRAKE AND OTHER TIMES IT WON'T GO AT ALL WHEN ACCELERATING. 3 TIMES NOW IT HAS JUST COMPLETELY SHUT ITSELF OFF WHEN I'M GEAR FOR NO APPARENT REASONS AT ALL. I TRY NOW NOT TO DRIVE IT ALL BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE. I'VE KEPT IT UP TO DATE ON ALL THE COMPUTER UPDATES THROUGH A CERTIFIED JEEP DEALERSHIP INCLUDING ALL THE OIL CHANGES AND REQUIRED MAINTENANCE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT CAN OFFER NO TRUE FIX THROUGH JEEP.

TRANSMISSION IS DROPPING TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT IS BECOMING A CONCERN.

FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS, MY JEEP JUMPS AHEAD AT RED LIGHT OR WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE. ITS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE IS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. SOMETIMES IT DELAYS TO LAUNCH, WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS IT TAKES 10 OR 15 SECONDS. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE COMPUTER DISENGAGES THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE WILL ONLY IDLE IN DRIVE, CARS FOLLOWING G ARE FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY JEEP TODAY, MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE VIN ASSOCIATED MASS RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND I HAVE FOUND, HUNDREDS OF THE SAME ISSUES ON 2014 AND 2015 9 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND IS A HAZARD TO OTHER MOTORIST, DUE TO JEEPS DESIGN ISSUE AND LACK OF OWNERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY. MY JEEP HAS 62,048 MILES ON IT.

WHEN I AM STOPPED AND I PRESS THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR MY JEEP TO GO. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT DOES HAPPEN OFTEN. IT IS FRUSTRATING!!

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR TRANSMISSION, ETC. USING OIL, ( EVAPORATES?) AND IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. CALLED JEEP AND WAS ADVISED TO GET IT INTO SERVICE IMMEDIATELY DUE TO KNOWN ISSUES, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. JEEP HAS BEEN TRYING TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING, AT STOPS, HARD SHIFTS, BRAKE COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY, COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING, AND OIL HAS SOMEHOW DISAPPEARED FROM IT, BUT NO LEAKS.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNINGS ON & COMPUTER SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING, BEEN HAPPENING OFF & ON SINCE I BOUGHT IN JANUARY 2015 NOW WONT STOP AND CANT GET SERVICE UNTIL OCTOBER 10TH.

THE TRANSMISSION IN OUR VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT UNEXPECTEDLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN AT A RED LIGHT OR DUE TO STOPPED TRAFFIC, BUT DOES NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN WE ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT ACTS LIKE NEUTRAL FOR APPROX. 3 SECONDS THEN SUDDENLY SLAMS ABRUPTLY INTO GEAR. IF THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP IT SEEMS OK. THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO RESET TO 1ST GEAR APPROPRIATELY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE PLUS THE SLAMMING INTO GEAR CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS REPEATEDLY AND CONSISTENTLY DURING THE ABOVE DESCRIBED CONDITION. I HAVE CONTACTED FCA AND SO FAR I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR RESPONSE. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE A CEL ON OR A COMPLETELY DAMAGED TRANSMISSION FOR THEM TO ACT APPROPRIATELY TO REPAIR AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM.

GEAR SHIFTER ERROR AND NOW CANNOT PUT CAR INTO GEAR CAR GETS STUCK IN NEUTRAL FOR ABOUT 5-10 BEFOR I CAN SWITCH TO OTHER GEAR BATTERY AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT STARTS UP AGAIN. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE. I AM SCARED THAT I WILL LOSE POWER IN A REMOTE LOCATION OR IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
