I pressed button to open back hatch. It started raising and then all of a sudden it closed down and almost knocked me out. My head is very sore where it hit me. I had not pressed button to close it. It just closed on it's own without warning. This happened once before right after I bought the car. I just thought it was a fluke, so i did not report it at that time. I have not taken it anywhere to get checked out. I work so it is challenging to take it during business hours.

The parking brake has engaged on it's own 4 times. Twice while I was driving and twice while I was parked in my driveway with car started and attempting to leave. When parked it will not let me roll. When driving the vehicle shimmies and acts like it has serious problems like the wheel is about to fall off. One time there was a yellow exclamation point as a warning light as it was having the issue. The other time there were no warning lights. I never use my parking brake. It came on when I was about a mile down the road. I believe the first 2 times were in March. The last 2 were in May 2026

My jeep Cherokee isn’t catching gears when I drive it also has the svc 4wd light on

pulling out of a gas station the engine revved and accelerated without me pressing on the pedal harder. i tried pressing the brakes and they would not respond. It caused my vehicle to crash into a pole where it continued to rev until the vehicle was turned off.

My vehicle year and model are part of the PTU recall and is having the Service 4WD message, rolling when parked, and losing power. When I contacted FCA, they informed me that my VIN is not part of their recall, despite being the exact issue in the recall, and I would have to pay to replace my PTU myself. I just want it included so they will replace my PTU because the exact symptoms are what mine is having.

Within two years of owning this jeep, the rear differential has failed, the battery has failed twice, they didn’t include the extra battery in this jeep that EVERY other model has so it needs a new battery every two years like clockwork to keep the power systems running normally. It’s needed new spark plugs after four failed at once. Now it has the service 4WD light back on even though supposedly there isn’t any recalls still. I’ve never owned a car that has needed as much work as this jeep. Ever. I know several people that have owned them and not one person has enjoyed the vehicle due to the repairs being so often. I take care of my cars and do the maintenance on time continuously. It’s crazy to have this many things go wrong this often.

The PTU 2 speed is not engaging anymore the low gear range, errore message says the motor actuator is stuck.

"Service 4WD" warning, intermittent driveline fault over bumps. Slight lag in drive as well. PTU Code C14A7-97. Very Concerned about loss of drive power.

While driving or idle at the light the ABS light, traction control light and parking brake light come on and have a loss power steering.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that on several occasions while either of her children were driving at various speeds, the transmission warning light illuminated. On one occasion, the FWD warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. The contact added that the vehicle then lost power and did not accelerate as intended during each occasion. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and restarted each time, after which it resumed normal driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transfer case unit needed to be replaced due to the Jeep Active Drive One. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where the contact was provided with the same diagnosis: the transfer case unit needed to be replaced due to the Jeep Active Drive One. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Intermittent 4wd servicing displaying with no error codes when diagnosed. Loss of acceleration when displayed. Additionally there is a small vapor leak that cannot be found and the

There is an open recall for 2014 -2016 Jeep Cherokees for a problem with the power liftgate module. My vehicle is a 2016 Cherokee but it is not included in the recall. The liftgate module in my vehicle is being replaced right now for the same issue in the recall , water intrusion. I would like to know why vehicle is not included in the recall .

4WD light displayed on dash. Dealer responded this was a known issue with PTU recalls, however, my VIN was not included. Was warned by dealer not to drive due to fire danger. This recall should be expanded to include all vehicles manufactured within this timeframe as a car with 122,000 miles SHOULD NOT HAVE A $4,000 repair. Please help!

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the message “4WD/Pull Over” was displayed, and the Low Oil warning light was intermittently illuminated. The contact became aware of the warning lights after receiving an oil change. Additionally, the oil level needed to be topped off after driving approximately 3,000 miles. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost power steering functionality, and it decelerated and stalled. The contact pulled over, turned off the vehicle, waited for several minutes, then made several attempts to restart the vehicle until the power steering functionality returned and was able to drive as intended. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and it was confirmed that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of oil, and that the oil level sensor was inoperable. The dealer reprogrammed the ECM, but failures persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

From airbags all of them. yes its available for inspection. the airbags deployed while I was driving and I couldn't control the car and ended up in a ditch. yes we were put at risk as well as others on the road. Nobody has inspected vehicle at this time. no prior issues or warnings. It deployed without any warnings. There was NO cause for this to happen, No impact when this ocured.

A “Service 4WD” warning light is currently illuminated on the dashboard. The front axles and shock/strut assemblies have already been replaced; however, the warning light remains on. The dealership has diagnosed the issue as a failed Power Transfer Unit (PTU). I was informed that many vehicles of similar make, model, and year are covered under a recall for this issue, but my specific vehicle is not included. The estimated repair cost is approximately 4,000. This presents a significant safety concern, as the failure can result in a complete loss of power and loss of parking brake functionality.

Service 4 WD warning light is on. Vehicle will not engage 4wd.

My 2016 Jeep Cherokee AWD began showing a “Service 4WD” warning on the dashboard. At the same time the vehicle developed noticeable drivetrain vibration at highway speeds above approximately 55 mph and gears began taking longer than normal to change. A dealership diagnosed the vehicle and found diagnostic code C14A7-97. The technician determined the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) shift motor is binding due to internal wear and that the PTU must be replaced to restore proper four-wheel-drive function. The failure prevents the vehicle from engaging 4WD and causes vibration while driving at highway speeds. The dealer quoted approximately 3,176 to replace the PTU and stated the part is currently on national backorder. This appears similar to the PTU failure addressed in recall 20V343000 affecting other Jeep Cherokee vehicles, but my VIN is not included. Because the symptoms and failure appear identical to the recall condition, I am reporting this as a potential safety defect involving drivetrain failure and vibration during highway driving.My 2016 Jeep Cherokee AWD began showing a “Service 4WD” warning on the dashboard.

I have a 4x4 disengagement warning light and all reviews I have researched say you have to replace the rear transfer case. I bought this car October 2025 111000 miles on it 5 months in I have had to replace a shifter cable, the oil filter housing and now this rear ptu. The srv 4x4 light comes and goes. This could be electrical for poorly made un serviceable parts. I have read and researched miles of threads on this problem. I and many hard working men and women have been affected by these issues. I have never felt this angry about owning a vehicle that is in great shape and is utterly failing to to the lack of mechanically sound products that used in these jeep brand vehicles.

I was stopped at a traffic light and when it tire we green I was unable to drive as the emergency brake was holding the vehicle. I was unable to release it. Car would not go forward or backwards. Finally was able to drive after disconnecting battery for a few minutes. Drive directly to repair station. They changed the e brake switch, and the motor on one side of rear brake and the caliper also. Was working for less than one day and I am still experiencing the problem. The service brake light is still on dashboard.

The contact owned a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that twenty minutes after her husband parked and turned off the vehicle in a parking lot, the vehicle caught fire while unoccupied. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that she noticed sparks coming from beneath the rear driver's side taillight before the vehicle caught fire. The fire consumed half of the vehicle, causing extensive damage. The firefighters arrived and extinguished the fire. There were police and fire department reports filed. The fire department informed the contact that the fire was caused by an electrical failure. The vehicle was towed to a collision center, but was not yet deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

We own a 2016 Jeep Cherokee and have been experiencing ongoing issues with the transmission and acceleration. The vehicle will sometimes hesitate or lag when pressing the gas pedal. There are situations where you try to accelerate and the vehicle does not respond right away. This has created safety concerns while driving. There have been multiple instances where the vehicle did not move as expected when attempting to pull into traffic or accelerate from lower speeds. When you press the accelerator, you expect the vehicle to go, but instead there is a delay or lack of power. This has nearly resulted in accidents due to oncoming traffic. The problem happens most often at normal city / street speeds, especially when accelerating from a stop or at low speeds. The vehicle feels like it struggles to shift or deliver power. We have also noticed hesitation at higher speeds, but the main issue is during everyday driving. No crash has occurred, but the hesitation and inconsistent response make the vehicle feel unsafe and unreliable.

Beginning in late October 2025, my 2016 Jeep Cherokee North Edition began experiencing a recurring electronic shifter and transmission malfunction. The vehicle displays a “Service Shifter” warning (with an A! with a circle arrow and the check engine light is on) and shakes violently upon shifting; it's straight up psychologically unnerving. This issue creates a significant safety hazard because the vehicle may not shift accordingly, consequently increasing the risk of unintended vehicular movement and ultimate loss of control. I previously brought the vehicle to a certified Chrysler/Jeep dealership (Big O’ Dodge Chrysler Jeep, Laurens Rd., Greenville, SC) approximately 13 months earlier for mechanical issues while under warranty. At that time, repairs were completed and I was told no additional mechanical concerns were present. The shifter malfunction began after my extended warranty expired (after 20,000 miles). Since the problem began, I have taken the vehicle to a mechanic multiple times. During each visit, a diagnostic scan tool indicated cylinder misfires: First visit: cylinder #1 misfire — I paid for repairs/replacement. Second visit: cylinder #2 misfire — I paid for additional repairs. Third visit: cylinder #3 misfire — I was advised further repairs would be costly and to consider replacing the vehicle. Despite having recently spent $1,500 on these repairs, the shifting malfunction and safety issues have persisted/have not been resolved. I have been unable to safely operate the vehicle for approximately four months due to the risk associated with the transmission/shifter malfunction. I have learned that similar (2014-2017) Jeep Cherokees have been recalled for similar electronic shifter defects. However, my VIN was not included in the recall. Because this defect poses a serious safety risk and appears consistent with known issues, I am requesting an investigation into this failure. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

My Vehicle VIN isn't listed under the massive recall of the PTU (Diagnostic code C14A7-67) Vehicle is the same manufacture year of the recalled vehicles. If the PTU fails it can cause sudden loss of drive power, inability to stay in Park (rollaway risk). The check 4WD light is on and Diagnostic code C14A7-67 comes up. Jeep said my vehicle isn't included in the recall so there isn't anything they can do. I am wondering why this Vin isn't included in the recall and if it should be since it is having the identical issue as the massive recall of similar vehicles. My vehicle lost drive power on a highway and had to carefully glide over to the shoulder.

WHILE STOPPED AT STOP SIGNS OR STOP LIGHTS THE EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK WILL ENGAGE AND UNABLE TO TURN OFF WITH OUT RESTARTING VEHICLE.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle sputtered, jerked, and hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. The message "Service 4WD" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with an inoperable PTU actuator. The dealer was contacted and provided an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 81,900.

I was going home, speed limit 55 mph, so thats what I was doing. A suv entering a intersection ahead of me, ( i dont have a stop or yield sign, but they do) the suv never stops, rolling into the intersection, as im entering the intersection at 55 mph. I tried avoidance at last second to no avail. My front drivers corner smashed the middle, passenger side of the other suv. My Jeep continues to the right, uncontrollable, stops in someone's front yard, engine still running. The other car swerved to the left, still on the road, rolling on its side. My airbags never deployed, i didnt even get any lights on the dash, i had to shut the engine off. Not one airbag deployed, and nothing even recognized there was something wrong. This car is supposed to have all options for airbags, yet a collision at highway speed, with post wreck travel of less than 50 feet, and not one single air bag deployed. I very literally could have died right there. I honestly dont know how i didn't.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked abnormally with an abnormal burning odor coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with a misfire in cylinder #5. The fuel injectors were cleaned, and the spark plugs and filters were replaced. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, the contact became aware that there were oil stains on the ground, and the abnormal odor was still coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the plastic oil filter housing seal had failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

The parking brake will sometimes activate while driving the vehicle, I happens twice driving loosing control of the vehicle.

The PTU was bad and was replaced by the dealership under Chrysler extended warranty. The dealership then said the transfer case module and motor needed to be replaced and while at the dealership replacing those components they informed me that the rear differential axle is bad resulting from the bad PTU

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee.

There were no warning lights illuminated immediately, but then several unknown warning lights were illuminated. After the vehicle had stalled, several attempts were needed to restart the vehicle. During several failures, the headlights and the hazard lights were not functioning as needed. The failure was intermittent but became a recurring failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who performed a tune-up and cleaned the fuel lines. The vehicle was repaired; however, the vehicle stalled again. The vehicle was taken back to the same mechanic who determined that the fuel cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the vehicle stalled. The contact researched and became aware that the engine had been replaced in 2017. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 139,000.

UNKNOWN: Not had problems since I got it. 66000 miles on it and now it’s losing electrical power at random. I’ll be driving normally, but my dash will go black, all lights go out and the engine will go into neutral. When I let off the throttle and coast, it will come back to life and go back to normal.

Multiple incidents from different shops after oil changes, car continues to leak oil from around filter. Have had to replace the shifter sensor twice within the last 5 years. Regular driver back and forth to work. Drive less than 8k miles a year

I was told that my PTU needs replaced however since it did not throw the proper code it is not covered under the extended warranty that Jeep had out.

Transmission, yes it’s available for inspection I was on the highway driving approximately 70 MPH going up hill, and my car starts to downshift and lose power on a high traffic highway without warning no lights flickered or anything Yes it was seen by dodge dealership No it was not inspected by the manufacturer or others No, The check engine came on Approximately 15 minutes AFTER the failure. so no warning before it started to downshift so I could pull over!

Transmission was replaced at 20k miles it has still continue to stall while driving causing hard shift and stalling in the middle of the road almost causing accidents.

Power Transfer Unit needs to be replaced. I took vehicle to repair shop for noise in left front tire. They informed me that the unit needs to be replaced. They checked for recall will a Chrysler Dealer. The recall does not apply to this vehicle. I purchased this vehicle new from a Chrysler Dealer in CT. The repair shop informed me that the PTU unit in my car is a used one from a Junkyard, the said it has writing on it that junkyards use to identify parts. I never had it replaced so it had to come from the dealer like that.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. The failure persisted and the "Service 4WD" message was displayed on the instrument panel.

Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V302000 (Power Train); which the contact linked to the failure. The contact searched the VIN and discovered that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

So I was driving to work one morning and I pulled into the parking lot, put my car in park and a few mins after I get a message/ alert on my dash saying “service shifter”…. Indicating It’s the p1c86-1D, an electrical issue with the shifter display circuit. I took it to the dealership I bought it from (Della Chevrolet) they did a diagnosis. They said I needed to replace the whole shifter and if I did I’d have to pay over $1000 for them to do it and it wouldn’t be covered if it went out again because the car isn’t a Chevy… but long story short they told me that at any time my shifter can stop working.. an no got into park or drive etc… I’m not trying to be stuck there Also another electrical is when I got my car and when I stopped at lights my car would shut off for the eco friendly mode.. then one day it jsut stopped and I had one day where it tripped out… where it worked then didn’t. Also, when I’m driving, and I think it’s when I accelerate and when going a steady speed the car jerks randomly. Like jerks forwards

Transmission now won’t go into gear and is making a rattling noise when the vehicle gets turned on.

My Jeep has had 3 PTU replaced in its life, the third one has failed and I'm now left either putting in a 4th or junking it, either way I take a loss. The 2nd PTU failed over a long period of time, the 3rd PTU failed a week past my 1 year warranty coverage and it did so abruptly. I have written in before regarding this vehicle but I write again due to the danger of this failure. The PTU rattled, grinded before seizing all tires and motion. I was lucky by myself and my child wasn't present and that I wasn't on the interstate (had gotten off moments before it failed) and in a quiet neighborhood. I lost all momentum forward even giving it gas. Had I stopped abruptly on 380, going 60 mph... I would have rolled the vehicle or another would have rear ended me and I might not be here today. When my father and brother arrived on the scene we had to push it while I laid on the gas to unlock the wheels and then delicately maneuver it closer to the curb. The grinding occurs in both neutral and drive. There were no warning lights, no prior indication of failure. Insurance doesn't cover this because I wasn't in an accident either time, there are no warranties left, I still owe on my vehicle and repairs will cost more than the vehicle is worth. I was quoted $9,000 to have it replaced plus no ETA on when they could get the part in. Not only can I not afford to replace at that cost vs vehicle value, I wouldn't have mode of transportation for who knows how long. I missed the original manufactures recall by months, yet my vehicle has had more PTU's than one should ever have. If I could get a message back regarding this situation, ASAP that would be great.

Axle, driveshaft, and differential concern. The 4x4 warning light came on the dash and the four-wheel-drive system stopped functioning properly. Dealer diagnosed a failing PTU (Power Transfer Unit) and recommended installing an SOP PTU unit. Symptoms included grinding, vibration, and inconsistent 4x4 engagement, creating a safety concern during normal driving. Mileage at time of replacement (lights on dash 500 miles prior) : 49,536. Total repair cost: 2,416

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the parking brake independently activated. In addition, the contact stated that the failure had occurred twice. The contact stated that during the second failure, the parking brake independently activated, and the parking brake seized. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a parking brake module failure. The contact was informed of water intrusion and that the parking brake module was destroyed. The contact was informed that the parking brake module and the rear brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, the contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the rear seats and tailgate area were wet with water. The contact stated that the two reservoirs in the rear of the vehicle were almost filled with rainwater. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic. The contact had not been informed of the diagnostic result. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to an independent mechanic because the sunroof assembly was fractured. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact was not sure of where the rainwater was entering the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Driving on freeway October of 2025 and PTU failed causing loss of power and electronic emergency brake engagement. There were no previous indications or warnings with vehicle prior to total loss of propulsion. Vehicle is at jeep dealership in Gaylord Michigan not repaired. Fortunate there was shoulder on right I was able to swerve into and stopped without collision as vehicles sped by at high rates of speed. Towed to dealership where purchased, Serra Ford Gaylord Michigan in August 2025, diagnostics revealed PTU failure. Serra Ford advised could not perform warranty repairs as not jeep dealership. Towed to jeep dealership, Snethcamp Jeep Gaylord Michigan, who advised not warrantied in United States as Canadian vehicle. Snethcamp Jeep diagnosed PTU failure. FCA Canada denied claim 94684480 and advised vehicle not registered to Canadian citizen. Chrysler Customer Service US denied claim 94727687 and advised this is a Canadian vehicle. Recall was performed on PTU, recall number 45A, April 24, 2025. Ordered replacement OEM parts through Snethcamp Jeep and was advised 400 units on back order with no replacement parts in stock and wait would be approximately four months.

There was a Recall on 2016 jeep cherrokee latitude fuel pumps - i think several years ago. This VIN Not on the list. But, the fuel pump has gone on this 2016 Jeep several weeks ago- vehicle stopped in busy city roadway. Towed to repair place -another make of fuel pump installed- then gas gauge not keeping track of gas . Called Jeep DEALERSHIP in Warren, Pa; and was told NO ONE HAS THESE MAIN JEEP FUEL Pumps. None in any 9 locations. They are on back order throughout the country. Sounds like there is a problem with the 2016 Jeep fuel pump. It needs to be recalled. This is a no brainer; and, not fair to Jeep customers that this issue wasn't made public and that the company didn't make a RECALL on THIS PUMP. There is a waiting lists for these pumps won't start distributing them till December. Please help with this matter.

Known for having bad transmission issues. Having bad transmission issues

Unknown was traveling twenty five miles an hour heard a lot of thumping.Noises took it to the dealership Ptu is bad

The car had been showing a message to service the 4-wheel drive. We took it to a Mechanic and they told me that there was a Code: C14A7-97 pointing to the Power Transfer Unit (PTU). Incident: While accelerating, the vehicle momentarily would loose power to abruptly regain it, providing a very unstable ride. Recently when it went into a "sleep mode" stopped at the red light at a busy intersection, when the light changed to green the engine was unresponsive when I accelerated and the car wasn't moving at all, and the engine wouldn't "wake up" either. I had to turn off the engine and turn it back on, before the car sluggishly started to move, and then again abruptly accelerated.

After purchasing the vehicle, I discovered it had an open FCA recall W90 (Tigershark MultiAir oil consumption/emission system repair). The dealer had not completed this recall prior to selling the vehicle. The vehicle was brought in for the W90 recall, and the repair was reportedly completed last week by a certified dealer. I found recall W90 because the car was overheating and stuttering on starts. The Safter Concern is that the coolant loss and erratic idle may indicate internal gasket or head integrity issues due to engine running hotter than it should, potentially leading to overheating or sudden engine failure while driving. This poses a serious safety risk if the engine fails at speed or stalls in traffic. I ask that the NHTSA review whether recall W90 adequately addresses known mechanical and emission defects with the 2.4 L Tigershark MultiAir engine, and ensure affected owners receive a verified repair or extended coverage for ongoing engine and coolant-loss failures.

4WD disabled, service required light came on. After taking my jeep in for inspection I was told I need a new Transfer Case

PTU had to be replaced. Light on, check by a authorized dealer, replaced by my local dealer as the jeep dealer could not get the part in a timely manner. I am aware other Jeeps were recalled but not this jeep. Safety at risk. I need 4 Wheel drive as I am a home health nurse in Colorado and rely on 4WD to get me to my patients.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while attempting to shift the gear shifter, there was a loud knocking sound coming from the vehicle. The steering and transmission were slipping intermittently. The Service 4WD warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the battery cable was faulty and needed to be replaced. The battery cables were replaced. The failure persisted, and the vehicle was returned to the dealer, who diagnosed that the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer stated that the repair was not covered under a recall or under warranty, despite having unlimited coverage. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The manufacturer confirmed that the repair was not covered under recall or warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Head gasket and cylinder head replacement. There are bubbles in my coolant and oil in cylinder #1. No external leaks. I’ve already called a dealer and cited W80 and they said not eligible for the recall to get it fixed

Vehicle is stalling out. While driving down the road any accelaration is fine but when stopped at a stop sign/light and you give the vehicle throttle from a dead stop or rolling stop it will either stall out and die or it will stall, surge, and come back. This is a serious issue as we drive this vehicle on busy road ways and could cause or will cause us to have an accident. I have had it the dealership and they checked the vehicle for any engines codes but none are present so they are not sure why the vehicle is stalling out. This is not a constant problem but a intermittent one where it comes and goes so you never know when it will happen. I am not sure when this first started happening as my wife usually drives the vehicle but I noticed it doing this about 2 months ago when leaving a gas station after getting fuel when I started leaving and I put the vehicle in drive and started to leave and it died on me with the message center telling me to put the vehicle in park to start.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the message “AWD Unavailable” was displayed. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the power transfer unit (PTU) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure had occurred several times. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (POWER TRAIN); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was 94,627.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start as needed, with the "Service 4WD" warning light illuminated. The contact's son took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, where a scanner was used, and DTC: C14A7-97 was retrieved for an issue related to the power transfer unit. The contact called the dealer and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact was then provided with an estimate for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

The PTU system is failing. If it completely fails, the car will lock at any time. The part is backordered and may take months to get here because so many Jeep owners are having this problem. The dealerships confirmed this. There is a service 4wd light.

Vehicle has been turning off while driving after pressing on the brakes. The dashboard will flicker/glitch, then the battery will go from 13.9V all the way up to 15.2V then back down then turn off. No service light or battery light will come up, I have taken it to auto zone and they said everything is fine with the battery/alternator. When the car shuts off, I have to press the start button, then shift into park and then press start again for it to work, if I shift it into park immediately when it turns off the car will not turn back on and I cannot shift gears.

Took vehicle to Mechanic Shop as I kept smelling gas . Especially when I fill my tank with gas. At first I thought it was incidental but the smell was confirmed as the mechanic checked my car he discovered a gas leak from the GAS TANK! He said this is very unusual as the hose housed on the tank is built into the tank and this usually lasts the life of the car. How does something like this happen? No accidents, have not run over any sharp objects etc...

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at various speeds, the “Service 4-WD” warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the power transfer unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. In addition, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Vibrating issue and missing fire originating from engine. Intake camshaft broken and left cylinder head is damaged and needs replacement. This should not be happening to this car. Cannot drive a faster rate either. There should be a claim out for all these issues.

My 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude is 9years old with 89,800 miles of regular driving & being fully maintained. The Service 4-wheel light came on & I brought it to my mechanic immediately the next day. I was advised after performing tests, it was the PTU in my car. I was advised there is a recall & to take it to the dealer. I did that immediately, while being terrified to drive it as I was advised it could be very dangerous. I or someone could have been badly injured or worse if this part gave way while driving. Something this dangerous should be mentioned immediately to ALL vehicle owners. The dealer confirmed it is the PTU & that it had to be replaced. I was advised my vin was not under the very large recall & well know issue on this part. After a lot of research, Stellantis is well aware of the issue & there is a recall for 2017- 2019 models. Also, they don't have plan in place or a way of correcting this part & distributing it quickly. I had a recall in 2020 for a software update on this and it was taken care of immediately. For some reason the failure of my PTU is not under this recall & I have to pay out of pocket. It has been 3 weeks & still no part due to the huge issue with this part and Stellantis not working hard enough to rectify this known issue or have replacements available. Stellantis needs to extend the recall to all 2016 Cherokee's especially since this is a major issue on this make and model. This is so unacceptable. I am without a vehicle and cannot even use it until the part comes in since it is extremely unsafe to drive (told by my mechanic and the dealer). The consumer should not be penalized due to the incompetence of these auto makers. We are supposed to be safe in our vehicles especially when they are maintained as well as mine is. We spend our hard-earned money and should not have to pay for all these defects due to the poor quality the auto makers are rolling out. Not to mention the resale has dropped significantly!

Vehicle in dealership service dept since July 16, 2025 for manufacturing recall; attempted repair rendered vehicle inoperable; 2nd part ordered arrived damaged; third part in open order until verbal date of February 2026; no recall remedy such as loaner vehicle; extended warranty purchased but cannot use; manufacturer warranty expired; need transportation

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while the liftgate was closed, there was a warning light indicating that the liftgate was open.

Subject: Possible Recall Repair Connection to Open Recall U90 Dear NHTSA, I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding my 2016 Jeep Cherokee with the 2.4L engine. I have been experiencing chronic coolant loss for approximately two years. After conducting research, I discovered the open recall, Emissions Recall U90, related to the exhaust manifold, and I suspect that my coolant loss may be connected to this defect. On September 4, 2025, I visited a Jeep dealership in Delray, where I was told that a leaking hose was the cause of my coolant loss, and they recommended replacing it to re-evaluate the leak. However, the following day, September 5, 2025, I sought a second opinion from a dealership located at 3701 Northlake Blvd, Lake Park, FL 33403. Unfortunately, during that visit, I was dismissed by Raheem, the service representative, who referred to me as a "clown" and refused to assist me. In light of these experiences, I sought service at Midas later that same day to address my coolant leak issues. I believe this situation warrants your attention, as it may be indicative of a larger problem related to the open recall. Your guidance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I have owned my jeep since 2019. Since having my jeep MULTIPLE times I have had the Service shifter light come on. Previously shutting the vehicle off and turning it back on seemed to solve the issue for a little bit until it would come on again. Later down the road my battery died. Upon replacing the battery I didn't seem to notice the issue ever. Now I have another new battery and the light has come on permantely and does not turn off even if I restart the car and as I stated it is a brand new battery. I know there was a recall for this exact issue previously for the year before mine and the year after mine. Something needs to be done about this because i see countless people have this exact same problem.

Subject: Urgent Safety Concern – 2016 Jeep Cherokee Gear Shifting Issue Good Morning, I am writing to report a serious safety concern with my 2016 Jeep Cherokee. I have been experiencing persistent issues with the gear shifter and transmission that I believe may be related to a known defect or may warrant investigation under a recall. The gear shifter frequently locks up and does not change gears properly. It stays in the wrong gear for an extended period—both when going uphill and downhill—before finally shifting, often accompanied by a loud noise. In some cases, the gear becomes stuck entirely, forcing me to take my foot off the accelerator. This delay in shifting poses a significant risk, especially in traffic, as I temporarily lose control of the vehicle's speed. During these moments, pressing the accelerator has no effect, which could easily lead to a dangerous situation. While the vehicle is still drivable, it consistently displays warning indicators suggesting a serious issue that needs professional attention. These problems are ongoing and seem to be getting worse over time. Given the safety implications, I am requesting that Jeep investigate this matter urgently and confirm whether my vehicle is subject to any active recalls or technical service bulletins (TSBs). If not, I would still appreciate guidance on how to resolve this as soon as possible, as I am concerned for my safety and that of others on the road. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] Email [XXX] VIN# [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Power Transfer Unit (PTU) failure with "Service 4WD" message with "transmission service" message. Unfortunately, my car is not part of the recall but it is a similar issue.

My power transfer unit busted into several different parts. There was no warning lights, it went to making a noise & when they took the skid cover off pieces came falling out. This happened last year & everywhere we look the part is on back order. So I'm paying a note on a vehicle that can't be used.

The Power Transfer Unit in my 2016 Jeep Cherokee failed when it only had 50,255 miles on it. The car was almost 10 years old. In the past month, when I tried to accelerate to 50 mph to merge on the highway, the Jeep did not accelerate normally when I pressed on the gas. Instead, it went slowly and made a revving noise, then when I hit the accelerator again, it made the revving noise louder and reluctantly started to accelerate. It would also lose drive power when going down a steep incline. There were a few instances of that and then the “SERVICE 4WD” light came on every day when I would put the car into reverse and stay on for the rest of the time I was driving the car. After that light came on, I noticed there was abnormal vibration underneath the middle of the car when I would drive it, too. The problem was confirmed on [XXX] in the service department of the Don White’s Jeep dealership in Cockeysville, Maryland, and the car is available for inspection there. My service advisor told me my Jeep needs a new PTU and the estimated cost of the repair is $3563 (not including tax). I ordered the new PTU on 7/29/25, but the parts manager at the dealership said the part is on backorder, and it will take at least 1 month, if not multiple months to get the part because there are “380 other Jeep owners” waiting for this same part. With the vibration, loss of motive power both on inclines and when attempting to accelerate and merge onto the highway, the safety of my family was put at risk; Our Jeep could lose drive power and the car could stop on the highway with cars speeding all around us. It could cause a crash. My PTU failed at 50,255 after not quite 10 years of very light driving. There’s no way that part should have failed under those normal conditions. My VIN number should be included in recall 20V343000 or FCA should reimburse me for this part. The repair would have been covered under my warranties if my VIN was included in the original recalls or X89 extension.

The PTU is defective. Service 4wheel drive dash light on. Did "software update" but did not fix problems. I need to have the ptu replaced!

WHEN AT IDLE AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT THE PARKING BRAKE WILL ENGAGE. I HAVE TO PUT MY JEEP IN PARK AND THEN TURN THE JEEP OFF AND BACK ON A FEW TIMES TO DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES.

THE AUTOMATIC START STOP SYSTEM SHOWS FAILED.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the parking brake switch was released, however the parking brake failed to release as intended. The contact stated that after several attempts, the parking brake was released. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed park brake switch. The contact was informed that the parking brake switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that parts were on back order. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, BUT IT GOES OFF SOMETIMES WHEN I RESTART. EVERY TIME I ASK SOMEONE TO CHECK IT OUT, THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE UNLESS IT IS ON. I DON'T WANT THIS TO CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT WHEN IT IS NOT ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE A PICTURE OF IT AND I AM STILL REFUSED SERVICE FOR IT.

I’ve went to get my car inspected and it shows 1 recall for “IN-USE NOX - CATALYST EFFICIENCY” . There was no warning signs on my dashboard. My car just acts differently and it sounds much louder. My dealership, CarMax can’t repair it for free and charging over $100 for a diagnostic alone.

When coming to a stop the auto stop turned the engine totally off. The car had to be shifted into park to restart the engine using the car's starter button. Afterward a message was displayed that the autostop was not available and to get the autostop serviced. The car was brought to the dealer for service of the full engine shutoff when the car came to a stop issue and the service manager stated they could not duplicate the problem. Since then the car engine totally shutoff 5 times when at a full stop and where the car needed to be placed in park and the start button pushed to restart the car. I now manually shutoff the autostop feature before leaving my house to avoid having the car engine fully shut off. The autostop not available message now displays within 2 minutes of starting the car.

On [XXX] my Jeep started making a grinding noise near the rear axle. Initially, thinking something had broken when I had hit a pot hole earlier that evening. We parked the car at a garage and the next day inspected it and said it sounded like the rear differential may be effected, advising it should be safe to drive in “sport” mode. I drove it to Blueridge Chrysler Jeep in Abingdon VA where I informed them I had discovered a Recall 45A on the Jeep, they kept the Jeep and called me in a few days saying it was only for an “software update” and it was fixed. Om [XXX], I drove my Jeep and upon getting less than a mile down the road it sounded like the backend was dragging. They called a tow truck & took it back to the garage & now with the MOPAR Extended warranty they would have to replace the PTU. It was part of the initial recall and it could affect the PTU and the RDM (rear differential). This part took months to be delivered and during that time I had to rent and borrow a car to get back and forth from work for over two months. In May, the service dept. called saying the Jeep was still making the dragging noise and may be the transmission or the Rear Differential, but they’re still looking into it. In June, after re-working the PTU, Blueridge has determined it is the Rear Differential that now needs replaced and when I asked about it all being a part of the MOPAR extended warranty and they told me I needed to call Chrysler Customer Care. I followed up and called and spoke to several people advising that the dealership would have to call MOPAR warranty. Today, 7/7/25, I spoke with Blueridge again and they are saying the Recall was only for an update. I referred to the details of the initial 45A recall that specifically says that if the update is not complete, it would lead to problems with the PTU & the rear differential. My stance is that MOPAR warranty should cover both the PTU and the Rear Differential under Both recalls the 45A and 20V343000.

Went to go to the grocery store and the Electronic Park Brake was engaged. Had it reset, went to the grocery store and it was re-engaged. Had it towed to dealer, upon diagnosis, corrosion was found at EPB module and connector pin. Declined repair and had it towed back home due to dealership quoting almost three thousand dollars for parts and repair. Upon later research, found that there is a known issue with water intrusion in this area that caused this and that there is a class action lawsuit due to almost 1.3 million vehicles affected by this and has been known about for almost 5 years. Dealership claims sunroof does leak but there has never been evidence of a leak from that area.

Service four-wheel-drive light has illuminated and dealership recommends to replace PTU system

The contact owned a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that around 5AM, when parked on the driveway the day before in the evening, the contact's wife heard abnormal noise from a window and discovered the vehicle had caught on fire. As a result of the fire, two other vehicles and the contact's residence were damaged. The vehicle was unoccupied during the fire. A fire inspector informed that the fire was an electrical one near the battery and fuse panel. The fire was extinguished by the fire department with water and foam. A fire department report was filed. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 133,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission experienced a hard shift while shifting from first gear to second gear. The contact stated that the vehicle felt like it had been rear-ended while shifting into 2nd gear. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

After buying the car from a used dealer, within 1,000 miles the car began grinding in slow accelerated turns. It has been diagnosed as the PTU which has many recalls before and after this particular D4 part. With all of the recalls and extended warranty adjustments for this part, why would mine not be covered? This was to be safe reliable car for my teenagers to drive, now that is no longer the case. Very disappointing

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? A.)Transmission has been 'stuck in 2WD' since I bought it (I was unaware of the DT issue during purchase from Boktor Motors in Las Vegas, NV). I have tried to contact dealership with no response and a blocked phone number. Car has been towed 120 miles to Wolfchase CDJ in Bartlett, TN and is being diagnosed. [In ref: NHTSA campaign number: 25V011) Power Transfer Unit(PTU)] How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? A.) I was on my way from Lakeland, TN to Chattanooga for summer vacation with my children and we were on a highway with a small shoulder and 2 lanes. We were able to pull to the side of the road and slowly make our way to the rest stop, Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? A.) It is currently at Wolfchase CDJ in Bartlett, TN for full diagnosis. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? A.) Not yet. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? A.) 'Service 4WD' was on at the dealership when I test drove it, but the owner, Mina Boktor, assured me that it was because they replaced the battery. He also wrote on the warranty page of my purchase paperwork that he would fix any repairs associated with the 4WD light if it was delivered to Tennessee with the same code. Boktor Motors associates refused to answer my calls and nobody ever returned my calls or emails. About 6 months later, my shifter started lighting up all red lights with the warning 'service shifter' in the notification screen.

Vehicle started making growling noise. Engine light and 4wd lights came on. Transfer case has been diagnosed with damage.

vehicle losing power even when on. Does not accelerate in drive or reverse. My issue is the dealer found corroded wires, but when did they not say that the last time it was in which was 3 months ago. They also all of sudden tell me my battery does not fit my Jeep so they needed to replace to new battery in order to be able s add mf diagnose. All this makes no sense.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the "Service 4x4" warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a local dealer who informed the contact that the PTU software needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired; however, the "Service 4x4" warning light illuminated again. The contact had taken the vehicle back to the same dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the differential, rear axle, and PTU needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and found that the failure had occurred twice, prior to the most recent failure of the same parts. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that there was no "Goodwill Assistance" available for the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact stated that the brake pedal had to be depressed while standing almost up. In addition, the electronic brake failure warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with brake booster failure. The contact was informed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, the contact stated the failure had occurred three times, and the brake booster was replaced after each failure. In addition, the contact stated that on two occasions, the vehicle had to be towed to the dealer. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V572000 (Service Brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 74,407.

The car is not shifting properly and will "jump" or "lunge" forward while driving. I have noticed that the RPM's will jump and bounce around, seemingly down shifting, then shift again, and then down shift again, which causes jerking motion.

Car goes into "limp mode" while driving. Will slow to a complete stop, not rev, and says "Shift to P then desired gear". All other components of car are on (battery barely a year old). Try to follow command prompt; after putting car in P, and shifting to D, it still won't rev. I was on an incline and began rolling backwards. Good thing no one was behind me at the time. Had to turn completely off. On startup, it's stuttering and takes a while to start. Turns on fine and will drive, but is physically jerking between gears. Then, the first time I have to stop for a significant time and idle, it will do it again. I follow process again and was able to record video, because I was on a back street and pulled over in time, luckily. Upon driving the next day and taking to dealer, it is still jerking. Dealer cannot replicate and shows no error codes, so they say to just keep driving and can only help if I bring in while it is happening? That is literally insane. Same thing happened a year ago, but after filling up and being on "Empty". I went to a independent mechanic then, which is why I was hopeful the dealer would have more insight into the problem. That mechanic also could not replicate. They said it could be a fuel line or pump issue and to never let gas get too low, or go through costly man hours to check the fuel line, but then it couldn't be that at all, so could still be back at square one. That time, it stopped me in a busy intersection TWICE and was far more terrifying. I decided to skip the potentially pointless and definitely expensive fuel line investigation. I decided to take it in again when it happened and followed the "don't let gas get too low" directive and had no further issues until 5/5/25.

On or about [XXX] on Tuesday [XXX] my parking brake automatically engaged itself. With the help of a friend, pulled fuse and emergency brake was disengaged and I got to drive home. Two days later, same issue, now this time tried same remedy and it did NOT work. So now I’m stranded 30 miles from home with my dog. Call tow truck, tow vehicle to dealer, dealer said water had something to do with module activated emergency brake. I’m without vehicle for days while they locate module and have a guy who comes in once a week to find out where water is coming from. I’ve read at least 80 complaints on the issue today. Isn’t Chrysler gonna do anything about this problem? Sad, broke and car less! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Since having the vehicle in for recall 45A/NHTSA 23V-302, there is a loss of drive and a clunking sound when accelerating from approximately 25-30 mph. This does not occur all the time, however when it does and there is traffic behind me, the vehicle behind me will close up quickly almost hitting me.

PTU failure, confirmed by dealership

My Daughter was driving home from work at the very busy time of day. Her vehicle just shut down. It was still running, but it had no power. She was almost hit by many other vehicles because of this. She called in a panic. I told her to kill it and restart it. She killed it, but had trouble restarting it. But she did get it restarted and was able to get it off the road and pulled into a Church parking lot. My Son and I went to help her and I was able to drive it home. But it tried to shut down a couple of times on the way. We took it to a dealer shop and they said it needs a new Power Transfer Unit. Very expensive part and it’s on back order because it’s failing on so many vehicles. They can’t even order it for 45 days. After researching this part, it seems it’s failing on many of this same vehicle. When I searched for a recall, it shows no recalls. I think this should be investigated. There was a recall on the power train that we had fixed. But it was just a software update. Now she has no vehicle for an indefinite period of time, and has been very traumatized by the incident.

I was driving and was at a residential stop sign and out of no where my vehicle just shuts off on me. At first I thought it was the on and off gas conserver device but I realized that wasn’t the issue when it wouldn’t turn on anymore and all the vehicles behind me started honking and then proceeded to go around me. This lady walking her dog even shouted what the hell was wrong with me thinking I was purposely stopping traffic. Then this nice guy came out of nowhere to help me move my vehicle out the way from ongoing traffic. He was nice enough to try and give my car some battery from his vehicle thinking that might be the problem and nothing would make my car turn on not even the starter would want to start. So I had no choice but to call a tow truck to transport my vehicle to a mechanic.

Service 4 wheel drive alert warning. Dealership inspected and said Power transfer unit

Parking brake module and connector got major water damage. My mechanic found over four gallons of water under my spare tire compartment. After inspecting it he found the module and wires fried. While driving my parking brake light came on and by time I parked my parking brake would not disengage. Check engine light, parking brake light, and traction control light. My vehicle is currently with my mechanic and currently being looked at. He is still trying to find parts and find the cause of the water leak. This was a very dangerous situation that could have caused a major accident.

My 2016 jeep cherokee is displaying the service 4x4 & has vibration while driving. I took it to a shop & was told the transfer case needed to be replaced so I had it done. The transfer case was replaced with new one & the module software keeps kicking it back & the mechanic replaced the software module twice & it keeps happening. On 2 separate occasions I have taken the jeep to the jeep dealer due to the power train software needing to be updated cause it was under recall. I have had the jeep since June 2024 & already had to replace 4 different parts. It would turn off while driving when I first got it & after 3 parts were replaced it stopped & the "service 4x4" message showed up.

My cars PTU is broken and multiple similar cars have PTU recall yet my vin number is not part of recall.

The car shuts off while driving

While driving on [XXX] N in Jacksonville, FL on [XXX]. Driving below the recommended speed limit my Jeep Cherokee Sport started to rattle and shake so violently I almost lost control of the vehicle. I hit a small bump in the road, was forced off to the right side and the front drivers wheel broke off from the drum. It was a frightening experience and could have lost my life as the highway was busy with morning traffic. No know suspension issues before this happened. I understand this was a recall issue on different models of Jeep vehicles, so why wasn't the Cherokee Sport not included?

I bought this vehicle a month ago and the engine stoped while I was driving 3 or 4 times.

March 12th pulled in my drive way and put jeep in park took foot off break and jeep cut off. Also still having the issues where the gears will say to put car in P then it will switch to N, I will put in P then back to D or R and it works fine. I reported this several months ago also and since then it has done it about 3 or 4 more times but no stored messages or check engine light comes on.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the gear shifter was stuck in park(P). The contact stated that once the vehicle was parked, the gear shifter remained stuck in park(P). The contact manually depressed the button under the gear shifter to move the gear shifter. No warning lights were illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

I own a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4. The SERVICE 4WD light came on a few weeks ago. After research and several mechanic's input, I was told the problem was the PTU, and, since Jeep no longer makes the part, I was given the quote of $2700-$3200 to replace the PTU with a remanufactured part with only a one year warranty. According to the mechanics, when driving with a broken PTU it may cause damage to the drive shafts. transmission and axles, which, in turn can break while in use, leading to a very dangerous situation. I was told that I should put the Jeep in two wheel drive manually and drive it like that, but my shifter doesn't have that option. It shifts automatically. So, I have a bad PTU, but my VIN doesn't have a recall, and there are several people with the same problem, according to the NHTSA site. I am filing this complaint so the NHTSA will step in and require the manufacturer to further the recall to include ALL of the VINs with defective PTUs and make them safer to drive. Yes, the vehicle is available to inspect at your convenience.

My vehicle losses all power to the wheels or does not not allow me to accelerate on occasion. Mechanic told me I have a faulty PTU. This has almost cause me to get into an accident several times. Unfortunately due to a very long back order I'm not able to get my vehicle repaired any time soon. I was told to report this due to a recall for this issue but my vehicle is 1 year older than the recall years.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the drivetrain control module but later the message "Service Four Wheel Drive" was displayed. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the PTU needed to be replaced; however, the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V302000 (POWER TRAIN). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 110,000.

I parked my vehicle at 6pm on February 15th. at 2:45 pm I awoke to a loud explosion outside my bedroom window. There was a very large fire, and it was my car. I was in shock we could only watch from our window as the fire department arrived and put out the fire which was spreading to the carport and mailboxes near my parking spot. It also burned a truck parked next to mine. both cars a total loss. My insurance company sent someone to tow my vehicle, but the tow truck driver refused saying the vehicle was untowable, due to the massive damage. the next day a neighbor informed me that he got the whole incident on video start to finish. 'The video shows my engine igniting while off and had been parked for over 6 hours. In the video you see a small flame start under the hood near the windshield wipers. the flame then grew and grew!!!! until the car was completely engulfed in flames. I also had a full tank of gas!!! Once the fire department arrived and extinguished the fire. the whole thing was melted to the concrete. the engine laying on the ground. A TOTAL LOSS!!!!

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle at a gas station, the check engine and brake warning lights illuminated after restarting the vehicle.

Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the failure was confirmed. The contact was informed that the parking brake module, actuator, and wiring needed to be replaced and that the vehicle should be taken to the dealer for the repair. The local dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to have the vehicle towed in for a diagnostic test. The vehicle remained with the independent mechanic unrepaired.

I have had my jeep since 2020, in September 2024 my "Service Transmission" notification displayed on the jeep. I took it a Jiffy Lube for a transmission service in which aftermarket fluid was put in the transmission and the filters were not replaced. The "Service Transmission" notification came back on in November, was taken into a mechanic that confirmed the Transmission Temperature Sensor had gone bad. The open recalls were repaired by a Jeep Dealership following the issues due to the recalls potentially having fixes for the "Service Transmission errors". Following that mechanic, it was taken to a dealership that diagnosed the Temperature Sensor and replaced the sensor and serviced the transmission. During the test drive, they noticed the transmission was jumping. After looking into it, they discovered that the transmission wasn't firing correctly. My friends with similar jeep transmissions, if not the same, are experiencing the same exact issues with the temperature sensor and transmission failures. There were no accidents reported, just issues directly related to the transmission.

2016 Jeep Cherokee, owner since NOV22. Transfer Case (Service 4-wheel drive), warning light appeared after driving 1x time off-road in sand. From my knowledge, there was a previous recall/complaints however isn’t covered currently by manufacturer. Last year I previously went to a local Jeep dealer to fix the PTU software issue for the same component. The transfer case issue has been verified by a mechanic and is estimated to be +$3,200 for parts and labor. The vehicle is well maintained, transfer case’s fluid was not replaced upon inspection by mechanic. The vehicle has been used for daily commute on paved roads/highways. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Vehicle making grinding noise when wheel is turned last week. Previously a "Service Shifter" light came in sporadically. No codes were ever found. Recently the 4wd service light came on and stayed on. PTU failure. I searched and realized this specific vehicle was not included in the recall and I don't understand why because it should be. It's been wonky for years, right after the warranty. I may end up without a vehicle for all this beauracracy. It should be included in the recall...

4WD unavailable light popped up. Took it to a local shop. They said the code is for the PTU. It controls the gear the vehicle is in. The car can go into neutral at anytime including while driving. Many other Jeep Cherokees have recalls for the same issue. It is a safety hazard and I am afraid to drive it due to my safety and the safety of others.

There was absolutely no warning driving at 55 mph heard a loud noise and smelt fluid pulled over small flame that extinguished by itself and fluid everywhere did a little research and many of these same jeeps had a PTU issue and were recalled

PTU failed. Other 2016 jeeps were recalled however this Jeep was not. Service 4WD light came on and the cars 4WD is not functioning

I just bought this used car and just drove around town. It has 101,724 miles and it smells like something burning when I start it up and when I drive it. I know it's coming from somewhere under the hood. I'm paying 9500.00 for this car and already have burnt smell.

4WD SYSTEM UNAVAILBE SERVICE REQUIRED HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXS

SVC 4WD - code that appeared, C14A7-97. Spoke with Stellantis and was told that this VIN was not covered under the recall. Not sure why not - it is experiencing the same issue. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C14A7-97 in a Jeep Cherokee indicates a problem with the power transfer unit (PTU) motor component or system. This issue can cause the transmission to disengage, resulting in a loss of drive power or park function. Symptoms The "Service 4WD" light is on The "AWD System Service Required" message is illuminated Possible causes The input shaft ring on the PTU may not be fully seated The PTU may have been built to allow relative movement between the differential input splines and the transmission output shaft Possible consequences a vehicle crash without prior warning and injury to others outside the vehicle. Recall Chronology: On March 7th, 2023, the FCA US LLC (“FCA US”) Technical Safety and Regulatory Compliance (“TSRC”) organization opened an investigation into 2016-2017 MY Jeep Cherokee vehicles for potential PTU failures that experience a loss of motive power (“LOMP”) and/or park function. During March 2023, FCA US TSRC conducted an analysis of LOMP and/or loss of park function patterns associated with two-speed PTU replacements. As of April 20th, 2023, FCA US is aware of two customer assistance records, 17 warranty claims, zero field reports, and six other service records potentially related to this issue for all markets with dates of receipt ranging from January 13th, 2017, through August 7th, 2022. As of April 20th, 2023, FCA US is not aware of any accidents or injuries potentially related to this issue for all markets. On April 20th, 2023, FCA US determined, through the Vehicle Regulations Committee, to conduct a voluntary safety recall of the affected vehicles.

*While driving vehicle on highway heard a loud noise and grinding sound and PTU exploded and *was not able to maneuver vehicle properly. *Fluid that was leaking out . Caused fire . Once car turned off this stopped flames .This could have been a very dangerous situation if it had not gone out for us and others on the highway. * we brought the vehicle to our mechanic who diagnosed it and said there was a problem to bring it to the Jeep dealer who also diagnosed the same problem. * it is currently still at the Jeep dealer . Because there are no parts available, which makes us wonder if this has happened to many other people.. * there were no warning, lamps or messages that came on.

Ptu failure/ loss of motive power

My vehicle continues to sporadically lose power steering, power and braking. “4wd temporarily disabled” light keeps coming on but then goes off. I have taken to dealer and they say it doesn’t throw a code and there is nothing they can do. It’s a safety issue. Other Jeep Cherokee years and models keep getting recalled but not mine. Mine needs to be recalled. Very dangerous.has been happening increasingly more often in last two months.

This morning i heard about the recall of 63,000 jeeps from 2017-2019 for the power failure in the PTU. I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk and i have experienced the same EXACT issue! I currently have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I'm the original owner. This Saturday, January 25th, I am turning it in for the PTU to be replaced. This will be my 2nd PTU replacement. . I was told that this 2nd PTU has a different Part Number than the OEM, or the last one. Thus making it slightly designed differently (i dont know the factual of this statement). *** In the last year, and mostly during warmer months, I have experienced MULTIPLE complete power failures of my Jeep. Anywhere from driving, and/or slow parking. it has even happended at times when taking an off ramp from the highway! I have had other people in the Jeep when this has happened. I was told that I have a loose battery terminal connection. So I went out and purchased the Battery Post Shims to increase the posts thickness on the battery. This did not resolve the problem. Since June 2024 I have been on MOPAR's waiting list for this replacment PTU and I finally received it a couple weeks ago. It is now winter and for some reason the power failure does not happen, but there is a consistent clicking in the front end. Not thinking it was the PTU because it has been replaced already, I thought it was the CV Joint so I bought that part. When i got to the dealership to have the work completed, they informed me that it is NOT the CV Joint, but definitely the PTU. So that is how I have been on the waiting list since June 2024. This morning i heard about the recall of 63,000 jeeps from 2017-2019 for the power failure in the PTU. I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk and i have experienced the same EXACT issue! This recall may need to be extended to include 2016's!!

Jeep lost power several times and at other times would say to shift to park. Same as the most recent recall but 2016 is not included currently.

SWC 4WD notice Car starts shaking go beyond 60 mph

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became firm, with the traction, check engine, and battery warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the messages to “Service Transmission” and “Service Shifter” were displayed. The contact was forced to park on the side of the road and restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the gear shifter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

Four Wheel Drive quit working. There is no traction on the rear wheels and four wheel drive error and stuck in traffic during freezing temperatures and snow on the road. This almost caused a collision. Why is there a recall on 2016 Jeep Cherokees for four wheel drive issue but not on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee?

While driving doe the highway the Dashboard lights go out and headlights turn off. Headlights and bulbs go out frequently. Rear license plate lights go out even after bulb replacement. Kicks cruise off while driving and shift gear control warning.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle jerked while in first gear. The contact stated that after a short while the vehicle returned to normal functionality. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 168,000.

Intermittent 4WD SVC Light - Code c14a7-97 comes up. There is an outstanding LIFETIME warranty on my vehicle to replace the Power Transfer Unit, however Jeep/Chrysler refuses to fix this under the warranty because this code does not fall under the Extended Warranty, even though it is related to the same part (PTU). The part is 3-6 months backordered anyway. This is ignorance and a safety hazard from Jeep/Chrysler.

Transmission doesn’t engage while driving. When I am braking, the vehicle jumps like it is skipping gears while trying to slow down.

According to my mechanic the sway bar broke, also I get a 4WD system unavailable service required! Which is PTU module needs replaced! That is a rescalled issue, do to safety issues! Please look into it! Thanks

The outside body of the vehicle is leaking, which is causing the Park break module to short circuit. This is causing my vehicle to suddenly stop and lock up.This has happened three times so far.

Started hesitating and did it at random times. I had a tune up done and it continued. I thought it was the transmission and took it to the transmission shop and they didn’t find anything wrong with the transmission. Started losing power and hesitation became worse while in traffic. Now it’s hesitating while stopped at the traffic light and not accelerating when taking off from a complete stop and not accelerating while merging. I brought it to the dealership in Lakeport, Ca. 95453. When I brought it to them the start stop warning lights were lit up on the dash. The start stop feature is creating the problem. I’m being told by the dealership that they can’t disengage the start stop feature. This is a safety hazard and I’m concerned it’s going to create engine problems. Apparently it’s a nationwide issue. The start stop feature needs to be recalled and fixed.

Service 4wd warning light illuminated. Google search for recall indicated that 2016 Jeep Cherokees had a recall for this problem. However, our specific VIN was not part of recall. When calling the manufacturer, I was advised that if the dealership could verify our vehicle was having the same problem as the recall, we could receive assistance. The advice was followed and confirmed, but when calling the manufacturer back, I was told that that was not how things work when dealing with a recall and since our VIN was not part of the recall, they could not do anything. I filed a complaint with NHTSA in April 2024 to no avail. We have brought the vehicle back to the dealership to see if we could have the problem fixed, and although we can, the parts are on back order. I can only assume because of the recall. Almost a year later, we are still dealing with this issue and never did hear back regarding our complaint.

Cracked windshield. No visible impact mark. Parked car at home and when came back out there was small crack coming from bottom driver side going up. Later on when actually driving the vehicle the crack randomly started getting bigger and went further up and then split to the side until reached edge of windshield.

My car has 123,000 done everything by book. Been report issues for over yr. Car almost got my killed by not stopping, turning, jerking on Accelerating and decelerating when shifting. All my motor mounts, transmission mount busted , messed up suspension control arm, ball joints, struts , axle, brakes all once. Drained battery. Spent 4500. Then my service shifter just came on. So back at shop. This is insane my shifter should last life time of my car. Due to the damage of that it cause a downfall of front end issues. This is well known issues of Jeep 2016 but not mine for a recall. It has cost me thousands and should not be happening at 122,000 miles . Car is at dealership again now and i have rental so not sure what that will cost. This started 2/11 not codes just could tell already filed reports with you all. My brakes lasted years , rotors was changed 2/11 hoping it helped per papers already damaged due to all this other crap. I’m very upset my car shouldn’t be having all these issues at 122,000 we are 1 car family

On my 2016 jeep Cherokee limited my 4WD needs service along with my shifter popping up every now and then ref needing service … all lights turn red and flash… Code: C14A7 - 97 Ptu motor Obstructed or blocked Google shows recall but when I look it up it shows not on my model.. Why ? Miles :114000 I’m very disappointed.. will not recommend a Jeep again…

Vehicle lost power while in traffic was running weird jerking check engine light came on A! Light came on vehicle wouldn't stay running. Codes read Catalyst system efficiency. Recall u90 issues Recall u67 issues code p0430, p0300,p0175, p0174

The thing died randomly and locked the steering wheel. Dealer can’t recreate the issue and said they cant fix it. I pay monthly on this thing that cant be fixed?

IN EARLY 2022 THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTOFF WHILE I WAS ACTIVELY DRIVING. I COULDNT GET THE CAR TO NEUTRAL ONCE IT SHUT OFF AND HAD TO BE TOWED. BOOSTING DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESOLVE THE ISSUE. BUT A DAY LATER THE CAR WOULD START AND THEN DRIVE FOR A WHILE AND JUST RANDOMLY SHUTOFF. I HAD BATTERY CHANGED, INCIDENT OCCURED AGAIN AND I HAD TO BE TOWED A COUPLE OF THE TIMES AND JUST DECIDED TO READ UP ON LINE IF ANYONE WAS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AND I CAME ACCROSS THIS ARTICLE BUT WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE I AM HAVING IS SIMILAR.

2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP AND STOPPED FOR A TRAIN. THE JEEP SUDDENLY CUT OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. AFTER THE TRAIN PASSED, I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET TO THE NEXT STOP SIGN AND IT CUT OFF AGAIN. IT RESTARTED, BUT I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT FOR ANY DISTANCE SINCE THEN BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT WILL CUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I'M GOING TO WORK OR ELSEWHERE. ALL MAINTENANCE IS CURRENT AND FLUIDS ARE CORRECT.

I own a 2016 Jeep Cherokee, and I’ve experienced significant engine issues that seem to be a common problem among other owners. The vehicle initially developed a ticking noise, which I was told was due to an oil change issue (first too little oil, then too much). The problem escalated quickly—leading to misfiring, bucking, excessive fuel consumption, and eventually a complete loss of power. After consulting multiple auto shops, the root cause was identified as premature failure of the lifters, rocker arms, and camshaft. I’ve been informed that all 24 lifters and rocker arms need replacement. The cost for repairs is quoted at $4,200, which is financially burdensome. Through my research, I’ve learned this is a recurring issue for Jeep owners and have even found references to class action lawsuits for similar problems. This indicates that the issue may be widespread and systemic. I urge the NHTSA to investigate these complaints to determine whether this failure meets the criteria for a recall. Many Jeep owners, including myself, would benefit from a recall or repair cost reimbursement due to the significant financial and safety impacts of this issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that an undisclosed module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic where a diagnostic test was performed, and the contact was informed that the PTU (Power Transfer Unit) and the blower motor needed to be repaired. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V302000 (Power Train) which was linked to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure and scheduled an appointment. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

Service 4WD light came on. Mechanic received C14A7-97 code indicating a problem with the PTU. Also I was told that the internals of the transfer case were jammed and cannot engage 4x4. A Google check confirmed that other Jeep Cherokees were recalled because of PTU issues but my VIN does not come up. This doesn’t make sense as it is the same vehicle and same flawed part. Also, I did have a brief loss of power while driving over a year ago. I do not want to pay $4100 for this repair when other similar issues exist and a recall was issued. I believe that this is similar enough to be covered for this flaw, especially when I only have 107,000 miles. Please advise.

WATER LEAK ON FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FLOOR COMING OUT OF CABIN FILTER AREA. CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE ROTTING OF FLOORBOARD BODY OF VEHICLE. DEALER CLEANED OUT PLUG BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. READ ON SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS.

PTU problems. Grinding noise from rear when turning slow and accelerating. Remove fuse for ptu and noise goes away. Put fuse back in it is back. Vehicle moves a lot when put in park and sometimes when using remote start you can see the vehicle jump forward a couple feet. My vehicle has all symptoms from recalls NHTSA 20V-343, NHTSA 20E-037, NHTSA 23V-302. But my PTU part number of:68283349AA is not included in any recall. This needs to be looked at further and extend the recalls to all PTU’s on the Jeep Cherokees 2014-2017. Chrysler knows these are bad

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving on the highway at approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle suddenly began to decelerate. The transmission service and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that as she was making her way to the side of the road, a vehicle from behind almost crashed into the rear.

Vehicle is throwing code C14A7-97 Drive terrain Control Mobule Vehicle shifts weirdly while driving and losses a little power.

Service 4WD warning received shortly after car was returned from dealership for recall fixes. Took car to independent repair shop where car was diagnosed with code C14A7-97, PTU failure

The service 4 Wheel Drive light comes up. The dealer wants to charge over $3,000 to fix the PTU. I have under 60,000 and hardly ever used the 4WD.

3-4 time this has happened and twice in the last 2 weeks my car just won’t turn over. I have to turn switch then put car in/out of park to get my car to start. For few months now I keep hearing vibrating, grinding noises when I go to slow down or stop. I thought it could be my left front axle so I changed it, pads and rotors. They didn’t even look bad when I changed them. The noises is coming from somewhere below driver side. With no lights coming on it’s hard to know and I can’t afford just pay 150 to look at it say who knows. My fear is it will die on my driving when it also goes up down with acceleration at times. I don’t understand why they don’t seem to do recalls on these 2016 Jeeps when clearly everybody’s having the same issues but they claim it’s not our models. My car is barely over 100,000 miles. This is literally my third complain in a year with the same issues.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the message “4WD Unavailable – Service Required” was displayed. The contact stated that the message appeared intermittently for the day. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was power transfer unit (PTU) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 136,368.

The power transfer unit (ptu), yes it is available to look at. It's making grinding and knocking noise, it could come out of park on its on. Yes it has been seen by car dealer shop and confirmed its the power transfer unit (ptu). Yes its been looked at and hooked up to a machine by dealership, and a garage that found it first. Yes, the service 4wd light came on that's why we to it to garage to be checked and that's when they told me about the power transfer unit (ptu) was out. I took it to dealership and they confirmed it and they're was recalls on on the power transfer unit (ptu) just not on mine

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the “Service 4WD” warning light was illuminated. While driving approximately 45 MPH and decelerating, the vehicle suddenly stalled from the transmission independently shifting into neutral(N) and failing to release. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed and determined that the transfer case (PTU) had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case regarding the failure. The manufacturer confirmed there was no recall on the VIN the failure. The failure mileage was 49,000.

While driving the Vehicle the gear attempted to go into 4WD by itself. I pulled over and at that time I could not shift the car into drive or park. I believe the transmission or gear shift is having an issue. No warning lights go on the dashboard and it will stall while driving on the highway which caused an extreme safety hazard.

Check engine light came on. Service Shifter has been displaying on the screen. Started to shake when stopped and backing up. Shifter will light up all functions while driving and display service shifter.

Transfer case failed, model year 2016 at 102K miles. It appears this is a recall item on some Jeep models. The 2016 Jeep Cherokee should be added.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the 4-WD warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Cookeville Transmission, where it was diagnosed and determined that the PTU had failed and needed to be replaced.

The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V302000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 158,000.

The PTU in our Jeep, was replaced once in 2021. In February of this year I go a notice from Chrysler extending my warranty on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4WD to 15 years/unlimited miles. It also mentioned some of the failure indicators were sudden power decrease and a banging noise, which we were experiencing, and instructed contact your dealer for a get a diagnosis regarding the issue. We took the vehicle to the dealer and they said they couldn't find the problem. [XXX], my wife was driving when she heard a clunk and grinding noise, we immediately to the vehicle to the dealer where it was determined that the PTU failed and resulted in a Transmission failure. We were told the warranty didn't cover the mating flanges between the PTU and the Transmission, where the bolts broke. Chrysler Customer Care agreed with them and would not cover the cost of the repairs. It is my contention that either Chrysler is continuing to out a defective product, or the dealer failed to properly torque the flange bolts when the PTU was replaced in 2021. Not sure if it is possible for NHTSA to inspect my vehicle for possible defects and a cause as to why the flange bolts would break.

I did a prior recall search and saw numerous complaints for my car make/model and year. Was this a recall? If not, why not? I found complaints that could be safety. After this, I wouldn’t recommend Jeep without more requirements to assess for safety.

Jeep skips gears on highway and loses power while accelerating to get up to speed. Took jeep to multiple dealers which all has said it's the torque converter. My jeep is a 2016 with only 77k miles on it. It jerks you at stop lights to almost hitting the car in front of you or losing all power in highway when trying to merge on. I have read that there has been recalls on 2016 jeep cherokee transmissions. Is there a recall on mine?

While driving in a parking lot at under 10 mph my car stalled and there was an audible ding at that point I received an error stating "shift to park". This happened twice within an hour or so and both times I was in a parking lot and advancing slowly uphill. I am very nervous and curious if this is another software update issue. I had a transmission error a couple years ago where my car just ceased to move. It was fixed with the update.

Since owning the vehicle the transmission has been an issue. From disengaging gears, to hard shifting, to Rear PTU fluid seeping from the driver's side rear axle due to a design flaw; this truck has been an absolute nightmare. The dealer has stated multiple times that the transmission is not faulty and performing as expected. 2014-2016 Jeep Cherokee's with the same rear PTU and transmissions have had recalls and PTU replaced, etc. but yet my VIN does not have any recall yet. I have video evidence of the transmission performing erratically and not as intended from just about 50,000 miles. Yet, Jeep would not do anything to remedy the situation. They have flashed the software, performed a rear differential service (which I had to pay for, wasn't free), and done everything to avoid taking accountability for their design flaw and product failures.

The “service 4WD” light came on in my vehicle, and upon taking the vehicle to Faricy Boys, I was informed I need to replace the PTU in my car. After looking into this, this appears to be an extremely common problem in Jeeps. Though my vehicle is not on the current recall list for this issue, I believe it should be.

The car is constantly overheating because a failure from the computer to start up the fan causing other issues with the coolant. Like bursting all the hoses and causing coolant leaks. Additionally a service shifter message came up on my screen and all the gears (p,r,n,d,l) light up with a red dot. This happens while I’m driving. I never know when the car is just going to stop or over heat in traffic because sometimes the fan starts and sometimes it doesn’t.

Code P2504 and code P063A. Received these codes when I already have a new battery and car is only at 70k miles. Caused the vehicle to go in to lower saving mode in to a turn and almost hit other vehicles.

Jeep completely shut down while driving and cars behind me almost crashed all lights came on would not shift back into gear very scary had to call tow truck. This is the second time .

I was driving and the vehicle cut off , said service shifter and had to put in park , and restart . I was in the middle of traffic and was luckily able to pull over . It started after stuttering a few times . But I’m now scared to drive it .

The car lost speed even though the engine was racing. A "transmission requires service" note appeared on the instrument cluster followed by a CEL. The car slowed to a stop and would not proceed normally after a stop sign. Traffic was backed up while the car was nursed along the road at half the speed limit.

Not long after purchasing my new (to me) 2016 Cherokee, the service 4wd light turned on. The warning light has been on for all but a few minutes of driving for 2 weeks. The dealership that I purchased the suv from diagnosed the problem as a bad PTU. Although thousands of the same models were recalled in that model year my Jeep was not included in the recall even though it now turns out to have the same problem as thousands of others.

RDM clutches are failing internally Rear Drive Module must be replaced at a total cost of around $4000 dollars. Part to repair this defect is not available with no anticipated supply date. Tried to find the part with any US auto parts supplier to no avail. The last parts supplier said that with no anticipated supply date from the manufacturer, they had 700 of the items required on back order. We already had to have the whole drive train replaced just before the warranty expired (that would have cost about $12,000 if I had to pay) The rear end makes a noise every time you make a turn with this vehicle. This is my wife's vehicle and I am very concerned about her safety. Please see attached mechanic's evaluation of the problem. The part number required is 68545101AB.

My car is subject to the U90 recall, but Jeep is not responding. When I contact any Jeep dealer, they tell me to wait and don't respond for months again and again. When I contact Jeep customer service, they don't respond at all. I think they are ignoring the recall because it will not benefit them and waiting for me to abandon the car. They should be required to take recalls seriously. I believe the NHTSA is supervising the recall by the company so I will share this issue with you and hopefully the problem will be resolved.

i was sent an email saying my car was being recalled

My car started showing a "Service 4wd" light on the dashboard. I took it to the mechanic and they stated that its an issue with the Power Train transfer case. This is the same issue that has been on the recall list for Jeep Cherokees except my VIN isn't on the list yet. This issue could have caused me to lose power in my car and could've caused me to crash. I am requesting that my car be added to this list as I have had to pay out of pocket for the very same defect in the make/model car that has been issued a recall. The total repair cost me 3,214.50 including parts and labor($2,148.50 for the transfer case part plus $164 for the diagnostic and $902 for the removal and installation. See images of receipts below. This issue also had me without a car for 2 weeks which was originally an estimated 3-4 weeks. Since this is a well known issue, I would like my car added to the recall list so that I can seek possible reimbursement.

Jeep Cherokee 2016 Service 4Wheel Drive light came on the last 3-4 months but getting to be not safe to drive. Got it scanned at Advanced Auto. Code read PTU as the issue. There is a recall on this year Jeep but I have a single speed PTU and the recall was on a 2 speed PTU. It’s upsetting that it doesn’t cover the single speed. Don’t understand why not. Single or 2 speed with bad PTU is dangerous so it should be considered covered/recalled.

My 2016 Jeep Cherokee was driving one day. Then I got a weird "Service 4WD" light on my dash. Took it to a Jeep dealership and they told me that I needed a new PTU and estimated that it would cost $4,000! I looked up to see if I had a recall but my VIN wasn't associated with the other recalls that the make and model of my Jeep had. I was confused then looked at this NTHSA website and saw I was not the only one with this problem. In fact, this was a recent problem a lot of people have been having and I was intrigued by that. Hoping Jeep does the right thing and investigates the PTU issue at hand but they probably won't.

driver panel told me to repair park brake. at times when I put my car in park the park brake would activate and I was unable to move my vehicle. the parking brake activated automatically when I put my car in park. My mechanic said the parking brake module needed to be replace due to a leak in the rear door and getting to the parking brake module. I do have an invoice if needed. Just not able to upload to this form.

The back lift gate will not open with key fob or by pushing the button at the bottom of the back door. The only way to open or close the back hatch is to manually lift the door and in turn manually close it as well. Completely random and unpredictable but happens quite frequently. I'm physically disabled and this has been very painful for for me to deal with it happens. There's never been any messages or warnings when this happens. I've had my jeep in for oil changes and other maintenance items, it will never do it while I'm trying to demonstrate this to the service representative.

My 2016 Jeep Cherokee has an open recall on catalytic converter. Chrysler sent notice the vehicle can catch fire. I been waiting since before 10/23. Per dealshipMarty Cancila I’m number 170. Chrysler is send 2 parts per week to dealership. It going to be 85 months for repair. I fearful for my life and need assistance. This unacceptable. Chrysler has to be held accountable.

I am not sure what component, system failed or malfunctioned but my vehicle is available to be inspected. My SUV has cut off on me several times while the vehicle is in drive gear and I was driving on the highway. It also cut off on me while I was in motion and turning the vehicle to the right. The vehicle cutting off caused me to run into a curb and I was thankful that there weren't any pedestrians on the sidewalk. My safety is at risk because I never know when the vehicle will cut off while I'm driving. I have taken the vehicle to try to figure out whats wrong with it and why it keeps cutting off without warning. There are no lights on the dash. However when the vehicle cuts off, "Service Shifter" comes on. Once I restart the vehicle the warning light goes off.

While driving on highway when I try to pick up speed motor starts to shakes engine light flashes and runs sluggish like it wants to shut off but once the speed decreases engine light go out. I had taking it to the dealer prior and complained about engine noises and shaking and they could find the issue. I think this need repaired or replaced because of the danger while driving can cost me or someones life.

Message on dash was "service 4WD". Took to Jeep dealership in Colorado Springs. They diagnosed PTU failure. It will be months before parts are available. They said they moved me up in priority to 150-200 out of approximately 500. I assume I have no trade-in value at this point. Dealership says I should not drive the vehicle.

4 wd service light comes on randomly, started the middle of February. It took a couple of weeks to get an appointment with the dealership. Twice in the past 2 weeks the car has slowed down, lost power in traffic to where I had to pull over and let the car go at a low speed until it would go at normal speed again. There is an active recall for the part needing to be replaced with the same year model however this VIN isn't listed in the recall.

2016 JEEP cherokee 93k miles PTU fault and dealer wont fix under recall. 3k to fixed same issue as all other 16 cherokees. Unsafe to drive does not shift correctly intermittently. Suppose to be software fix but dealer wont fix. PTU should go out 93k miles. If this stops all power to the wheel we will be in an accident!

Service Shifter Warning. Took to the dealership and was told there was a notice, no recall on the shifter bezel system. They said the shifter bezel harness system is bad and I had to replace it for over $400. If this is a known Jeep wide safety issue why is there no recall?

The shifter causes an error whenever I shift into drive. An alert comes up on the dashboard making the dashboard inaccessible and the PRNDL lights up red. The alert says "service shifter."

I received an FCA recall notice, GW270231, for my 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude related to the Catalyst Efficiency-U90 recall on 1/22/24. . I attempted to schedule a recall service appointment at two different local Jeep/Chrysler dealerships. The first one (Aritioli Jeep) Enfield, CT. stated they were unable to obtain the correct parts and that I should keep calling their parts department to know when the parts were obtained. I scheduled the recall service with Bertera Jeep/Chrysler in West Springfield, MA for 2/29/24. I was informed on 2/26/24 that my appointment was canceled because they did not know when they would have the required parts. The service representative stated it would take months and advised I should call them for a status update each month. I need assistance and support to ensure the required parts are sent to the dealership so I can resolve this Jeep recall issue promptly.

Jeep gives a “service shifter” warning/notification and all the lights on the shifter are on. Can clear by turning the car off and back on but the notification will soon appear again after driving. Happens every 100-200 miles or if the car is turned on and off just a few times a day for daily use. Shifter was refusing to be put in park one of the times the notification came on, very scary if you are driving or attempting to park.

While driving the vehicle engine shuts off or goes neutral and I am unable to keep driving. A message pops up on the dash that says “Shift to P and then shift to desired gear.” Car does not drive after doing this. I have to restart engine twice, both times the engine is delayed to start making a loud running noise. This has happened multiple times while driving all while my young children were in the car on busy roads. I have been lucky not to have been in a major accident yet. I have taken my car into the shop multiple times but they do not know how to fix this. I’ve reported it to the local dealer, they are no help either. New battery, all fluids full, full tank, no warning before the car shuts off while driving. I’ve seen hundreds of posts from drivers of the same make and model have the same issue. I’m appalled there is no recall. This can be very fatal if not addressed.

I had no warnings at all, had driven the vehicle just an hour prior, I go to get in vehicle and start it, I put the gear in drive and the dash board lights up saying service transmission, service brakes, "D" on dashboard blinking, engine light on, when I try and drive forward the vehicle does not move and says to put the car in "P" at "0" mph, when I did that the car starts to roll. The emergency break light is also lit up on dash board and unable to turn it on or off pressing button. I have to turn vehicle completely off to stop it from rolling. When pressing on brake the brake is completely locked up and unable to push it down. The 4WD light is also lit up on dashboard. It also made a loud bang jolt when put in Drive or Reverse. Then put in Park and begins to roll. My safety and others safety is put at risk because of no warning signs of having issues then unable to stop the vehicle from rolling could have caused my vehicle to roll into another car, home or even a person walking by. I am unable to leave my home or drive. I see online this has happened to thousand of other people even when there car was new and they were driving. This could've been so dangerous if I were on the road driving when it happened. Now I am stuck and cannot leave my home. I have had battery disconnected and reconnected and nothing helped. This appears to be an ongoing issue with this vehicle and needs to be recalled and fixed. I had no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to this happening. A/C went out on this vehicle at only 20k miles, had the whole thing replaced. Then started intermittently working on and off. Summer 2023 Had last recall fixed end of 2022 when engine light came on, dealership said it was an engine thermostat that dealership fixed under extended warranty and said they also did a recall fix.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V338000 (Electrical System, Structure) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I had to replace the PTU transfer case 4/22. Now there is a recall for the PTU programing. The safety recall states This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with a Power Transfer Unit (PTU) (sales code DK4). This repair was $3,800. Can I be reimbursed.

Hi I have a JEEP Cherokee Trail Hawk edition 3.2L 6 Cylinder SUV. The Vehicle has 53,657 miles on it. I recently took it to me Mechanic as the rear Differential was making noise. He recommended I take it to the Dealer due to its low mileage and defective rear Differential. Based on this, I brought it to the Jeep dealer ship in Nashua, NH 03053. They diagnosed the problem of a bad Rear Differential and wanted to charge me $4000+ dollars but could not get the parts. Whereas, I searched and learned that this Rear Differential is backordered by over 700 units. At 53,658 Miles to have a bad rear Differential is insane. If I continue to drive this vehicle on the Highway, at Highway speeds then either I am going to have a severe accident and hurt myself or Kill someone else driving due to a Manufactures defect in their rear Differential. These rear Differentials should be recalled as they are a hazard to the public. Jeep does not care of their defective units, as they state "They are out of Warranty" . My daughter drives this vehicle and she cant get the parts to repair and Jeep doesn't offer anything other than "GIVE ME YOUR MONEY AND WE WILL GET IT WHEN ITS BUILT! These vehicles are unsafe in this condition. If the rear differential seizes up it will be a multi car fatality. Can you please look at this situation and ask Jeep to execute a recall?

In 2020, Fiat Chrysler America recalled 67,248 units of the 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokee in the United States over a transmission issue that could result in a loss of power or rollaway situation. I'm currently experiencing this problem now. So I have a message stating service transmission and service break system.

Check 4 wheel drive indicator light came on. Brought to dealership and they confirmed something is wrong with PTU MOTOR. Code C14A7-97. I see there has been recalls for this as it’s a safety issue(campaigned number 23V302000. Vehicle may lose power) but I don’t see any recall information when I input my vin number. If this is an issue with other vehicles why isn’t my vehicle coming up in the recall notice? Please let me know if this can be part of the recall.

No specific incident, but there has been a few times where when I am stopped at a stop sign and try going it goes and then stops in the middle of the intersection, luckily no oncoming traffic was coming either times. Also, my oil cooler I think it’s called has been leaking. I know there’s been a few recalls on the power train: automatic transmission that I was never informed on until now when I logged into my Credit Karma account. Nothing was ever mailed to my house to notify me.

I have been trying to get into my dealer for months concerning this recall they continue ton give me the run around and have been no help

No accident but my Jeep Cherokee has a gushing leak - Oil Housing Filter is leaking oil straight into my engine - Auto shop informed me it is extremely dangerous and I cannot drive my car as it could cause my engine to catch fire, I am not without a car. I got quoted $847.70 - higher $800's to fix this. It is shown that there have been past recalls on other jeeps due to this. I have no way to pay for this. Jeep's engine light is on now and won't go over 40 MPH

When the EcoBoost is active car will shut down upon attempted restart of EcoBoost.

Car losses power while driving, it will turn off. Shift to P and select gear comes up. It also has 4 different recalls that doesn't allow me to register but when contacted dealership they informed me that they didn't had parts for it, they didn't know when the were going to get them because it's in back order, to keep checking at the end of each month to see if the get any. This is not acceptable, as it's not the owners fault. I don't have a drivable car, don't know when it's going to get fix but I still have to make my car payment.

After getting catalytic recall done my car has had delay and hesitation. The car is extremely hot underneath it and is loud while accelerating and idling. Have taken it back to the original dealership for the issue and they continue to say nothing is wrong.

Vehicle losing power, causing transmission to slip. Shifts out of park by itself occasionally. Took to dealership and they said that the PTU would need to be replaced

Engine light came on oil light came on. Had it checked..oil is leaking from the housing directly onto the engine could cause fire.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power. Additionally, while the vehicle was turned off, the contact received notifications that the vehicle was losing power. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,193.

Service 4WD light came on. Car has driven with irregularities at times accelerating. Took to dealership and they said the PTU is bad with no way to get the parts till the end of February 2024.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that after his wife shifted the gear selector to park, the vehicle continued to roll forward. The parking brake was activated to stop the vehicle from rolling. After restarting the vehicle, the message "Service Four Wheel Drive" remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced te failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 135,000.

While I am driving my car feels like it shifts into neutral but I am still in park. no control of car and breaks. Then the dash says "Shift into P then select desired gear". The only was to get the car moving again is to shut it down and restart it. When I do this it makes a loud sound. This very dangerous as I do not have control of the car and it happens without warning. No errors, check engine light or anything. I have scheduled an appointment at the dealership but i cannot get an appointment for about a month.

The service 4w drive indicator came on on the vehicle while I was driving in light snow of about 1 inch. I was unable to stop because the wheels spun and felt like they were not spinning in sync. I spun out and narrowly missed hitting 3 cars. My wheels spun wildly and the jeep picked up speed as I tried to stop. Luckily I did not hit anything. A few days later I was then driving and experienced a loss in power while the rpm surged very high and the whole vehicle shook and lurched forward. I have taken the vehicle to the jeep dealer and was told it will cost $2700 to repair the vehicle because my PTU is not covered under the recall that is on vehicles oof the same year for the PTU and manufactured during the time the PTU is being recalled for. The dealers explanation is that not enough of the vehicles with my power transfer unit have had it fail in order for them to cover it. There is also a 6-8 week wait to have the repair done. I am afraid to drive my own vehicle on snow or wet roads since I don’t want to lose control.

The power liftgate stopped working. This is the exact issue described in the 23V-338 / 49A Recall. The year, make, and model of my car are the same as detailed in the recall, but this specific VIN is not included. The issue is due to an electrical short that poses a fire hazard. There is no manual way to open the liftgate, it completely relies on the functionality of the electric system. It is clear that the 23V-338 / 49A Recall should include a wider range of VINs including mine.

My parking brake suddenly turned on and my jeeps information center on the dash informed me to stop and shift to park. The light on the switch for the emergency brake flashes as well as the red light on the shifter and the vehicle would not shift anymore nor would the epb turn off . I had to disconnect my battery for about 30 minutes before it allowed me to disengage the parking brake and start to drive again. It happened again once or twice before it completely just stopped engaging even when I tried to engage it. Car states when attempting to engage the parking brake that the parking brake needs to be maintained the light on the switch flashes and a warning light stays on now. The odometer started flashing a day or so after the initial issue began. Now I am unable to use my parking break at all, the warning light and message to get parking brake serviced show constantly as well and the odometer continues to flash.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the service 4WD drive warning light illuminated momentarily and then disappeared.

The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number 23V302000 (Power Train). The failure mileage was approximately 50,500. The VIN was not available.

The vehicle constantly loses power no matter the repairs I’ve came to notice it starts this during winter season

I was driving my car and as I was driving my car shut off and would not turn back on. Right before it powered down it said a message that said service shifter and all the lights to the shifter were lit up (P,R,D,N) I was reading that the shifter should last as long as your car does and this is a big safety issue

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Service 4WD" message was displayed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the power transfer unit (PTU). The vehicle was not repaired.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Unfortunately, the PTU (power transfer unit) needs to be replaced in my vehicle. Jeep previously issued a recall for this same part for 25,000 + similar vehicles with the same part due to it being defective. My vehicle was not included in the recall. I have been advised by both a Jeep dealership and an independent licensed technician to not drive the vehicle as if it completely fails the transmission will get stuck in neutral and not even be able to be parked safely. Due to numerous ongoing issues with this part, it is currently on national back-order with over 4500 units on back-order. There is no ETA on when there will be availability of the part. I did contact the Jeep 800 customer service number and was denied any assistance. I am now having to pay $250/week to rent a vehicle and cannot get the Jeep repaired.

Service 4x4 light came on and took to Jeep dealership. Diagnostics came back with bad PTU and part is on backorder. The backorder dates continues to be pushed out with no actual ETA. I bought a Jeep with 4x4 capability because I live in the mountains were it snows. This vehicle is now unsafe for me to drive in such conditions, especially with my newborn daughter in the vehicle with me.

I got 4 changed but still issue tires bad air pressure

The following happens approximately 2-3 times per month for the last 2 years: While accelerating, my vehicle jerks/stalls. Vehicle has not completely died but there is hesitation when resuming driving. I have taken it to Malless Automotive here in Indianapolis in June 2022 and December 2023. Technicians could not determine cause. Vehicle did not jerk/stall during test drives by technicians. No warning lights occur prior to incidents.

One the oil cooler unit failed leaking oil on to hot engine could possibly start a fire Two the rear differential cracked leaking fluid could possibly lock rear wheels at speed

My car continuously sends off the “Service shifter” warning across the screen. Many other cars the same year, make, and model have been recalled for the same exact thing, stating that the wiring harness for the shifter is faulty, but my specific car wasn’t on the recall list. I’ve taken it to my dealership many times and they can’t ever find anything immediately wrong with it. Once the warning pops up, you cannot clear it off of your screen until you shut your car off and turn it back on, hoping it doesn’t reappear. The dealership can’t ever give me a straight answer as to what’s wrong and can’t ever find anything wrong with it. They just take my word that the warning goes off. I’ve been dealing with this for over a year and it’s very frustrating.

Start driving the vehicle multiple times during the operation you get a service airbag message with a code / dtc of b0020-13 which FCA put out a TSB for but when you do take the car in the code is not stored in memory, so they refused to repair it

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I am currently experiencing a PTU error that is a common issue with most jeeps, such as mine. I did a recall check and there is a recall for the same error; however, my jeep VIN does not qualify for it. Nor does it qualify for the extended warranty that is out there for the powertrain unit. This common jeep issue with the ptu has been causing a decrease in acceleration for quite some time. I took it into Jeep and they said a flash update had already done; however, the next step was to install the PTU hard drive. This was quoted between $3-$4k. After doing some research, I discovered that there was a recall for the same part but my VIN does not qualify for it. At the same time I discovered that there is an extended warranty for the PTU; however, my VIN does not qualify for it. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? There has been a decrease in power when accelerating, especially when driving on the highway. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I took it into my local jeep to get it diagnosed and they confirmed it is a PTU error. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, just Jeep. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There is a "SVC 4WD" light that was turned on when this started happening.

Heater line snapped at the neck of male fitting.

Was driving and my parking break engaged on its on for several seconds and then disengaged on its own.

My Power Train Unit has failed to work properly and needs to be replaced. Several years prior to this occurring, my transmission kept skipping, jumping when I would accelerate from a stop, every time I took my vehicle to the dealership for this problem, it would not happen. They said, unless they personally witness this problem first hand, they could not repair my vehicle. My extended warranty has now expired. I believe the transmission skipping was the beginning of my PTU problem.

I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee with a bad driveshaft and bad PTU that’s been recalled on most Jeep except for mine. I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be every Jeep included in that recall since obviously my Jeep should of been included with the PTU going out on it. It’s definitely not safe to drive like that. My neighbor who is a certified mechanic looked at it to confirm the issue. The first warning I had that something was not right with it is the service 4 wheel drive light kept coming on and off then started making horrible noises.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH with the cruise control activated, the cruise control system failed to maintain the set speed.

In the last 6 months my electronic parking brake engaged and it would not disengage. Towed it to the dealership twice. The second time it froze in a parking lot and I blocked a parked car for over an hour. Additionally, there were multiple times my Jeep lost total power while driving. Made a left into my neighborhood and was almost broadsided. Not good at all. As I type this has been towed to the dealership. DANGEROUS.

After making a left turn and giving it gas to get up the road the car suddenly stalled and had to come to a complete stop. Almost as if the car had went into park but it was still in drive. Service transmission message came on board and check engine light. Had to have a rollback come to tow home. Car is still not operable. I’m about to contact Jeep. I did read online about the investigation for 2015-2022 jeep Cherokee . The electronic brake malfunction because of corrosion due to water leak

When I am driving ( mainly around 40 mph ) my vehicles automatic transmission will out of the clear blue SLAM into gear. This does not happen all the time but many times. I have taken it to the dealership on numerous occasions but because they cannot get the vehicle to do it while they are driving it and it does not throw a code they are unable to find or fix the problem . I have called the Chrysler customer service number many times and have been told the supervisor will call me back but never does. This has been going on for the last 4 years.

Emergency brake will not disengage and is effecting braking and driving. It has been inspected but 2 different mechanics who have been unable to resolve issue. This has ruined my brakes and has made the vehicle difficult to drive.

the parking brake has engaged several times at low speeds in parking lots, comes on when turn the vehicle on, and when placed into park. not sure if it will do it during high speeds, at the shop now. it happened during the Power Transfer Unit failed and should be looked at as a part affected by that. We had no issues until the PTU failed, and the parking brake started coming on when we put the vehicle into park, then would do it, the last time, the parking brake must have been instructed by the ptu to engage while the vehicle was in motion or shorted from a electrical surge from the ptu. the dealer doesn't think they are related, but i disagree. the service transmission, service 4wd, system unavailable, check engine light, abs, traction control, brake light, all came on and the parking brake engaged while pulling out into traffic, i got it to the next drive while dragging the rear tires, i was going about 20-25 mph.

I purchased my car brand new in 2016. I did not drive the vehicle often since working in NYC and parking was impossible. Then we had the Pandemic in 2020-current and I have been working from home for the last 2 years and 8 months. The car had been in an indoor garage and occasionally I would take the car for a ride and then the car wash. I took very good care of the vehicle. On September 11, 2023, I had to meet a client in White Plains, NY and decided to drive. When I got to White Plains, NY I entered the garage and parked the car. Immediately, the brake light came on with two yellow lights. Then I was unable to reverse the car and/or go forward. Since I was already in a parking spot, I left the car in it's position and thought that I would take care of it when I return. When I returned the Emergency Brake Light was blinking and I was unable to move forward and/or backwards. The brakes were engaged so I kept pressing the Emergency Brake hoping that the brakes would disengage. After about 45 minutes turning the car on then off and pressing the Emergency Brake the brakes disengaged and I was able to move the car. The next day I mentioned the problem to my Dad (who is a mechanic and engineer) and he came to my house to inspect the car. When he opened the back compartment of the vehicle it was filled with water. My Dad tested the brakes and again the brakes were engaged and the vehicle would not go forward and/or in the reverse. The brakes would not disengage. My Dad had to tow the car to a Mechanic Shop to have them remove all the parts in the back. The Mechanics inspected the vehicle and found water leak on rear trunk of car which affected the E-brake module. Disassembly in the rear of the car was performed in order to dry the water which they say entered through sunroof of vehicle. This has been a mind blowing experience and the worse part is that the Manufacturer (FCA) states they cannot help me. This is really evil and wicked with Jeep Cherokee.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the parking brake engaged and disengaged independently. The brake warning light was illuminated.

-The transmission will, on occasion, shift hard and even slip to the point where it stops moving. -It is available for testing and inspection. -Our safety was jeopardized when, while making a left turn in a high traffic situation, the vehicle stopped moving when attempting to change gears. The rpm climbed significantly, but the vehicle slowed to a stop and finally the transmission re-engaged and I could complete the turn and fortunately the driver of the oncoming car was able to avoid colliding with our vehicle. I have experienced this problem of the transmission not engaging on several occasions since the first time which occurred on approximately August 1st 2023. -My repair shop test drove it but couldn’t get it to slip.No other inspections have been made. - I didn’t see any waning lamps.

Keep makes a loud grinding noise when I turn right or left. Sounds like it’s coming from the back & underneath. Took it to a mechanic & he checked every thing. It’s not the brakes. He couldn’t figure out the problem. I’m scared to drive it. Don’t want to have the bottom fall out; which is what it sounds like is going to happen. There are recalls that sound like what the problem is but of course they aren’t for my car.

The car has been stalling when the fuel level reaches the half point for over a year now. Now it is stalling at any time regardless of the fuel line level. Recalls completed and up to date. Informed it was a software issue. Car still performing the same after recall.

Driving my vehicle back home for a local store 1.5 mi from my house and the off road warning light came on and then the steering wheel turned left while I was driving on a straight away. Managed to get to my driveway but looks like the right front wheel has detached from the truck altogether and won't move. Could not get my truck no further than the edge of my driveway. It should not be coming apart like a puzzle.

Complete loss of power while driving.

The PTU has failed on my vehicle a 2016 Jeep Cherokee 75th anniversary with 61k miles . Yes the vehicle is available for inspection My vehicle no longer has 4wd or all wheel drive and is slipping and sliding all over the place now. I could get into an accident. DuPage Jeep & Merlin's have both diagnosed the jeep. From what I have read there are about 65 thousand or more Jeep Cherokees that have the same problem as me. They were under a recall. The service 4WD drive light came on and I lost all wheel drive and 4WD.

Transmission failed in vehicle with only 96K miles. When attempting to accelerate, car would not switch gears properly and this hinder the ability to gain speed. We had an original diagnosis that the input output sensor needed to be replaced, and after weeks and several thousand dollars, we were told that the part still failed and a whole new transmission needed to be put in.

4WD sensor came on. PTU bad and needs to be replaced. Feeny in Midland MI quoted $2,400 to fix. Back order is difficult due to part not being made right now they said. It has 71k miles on it.

I own a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (VIN [XXX] ) that just had a Service Shifter message and required a shifter replacement due to a faulty shifter. My Jeep was in-service as of October 2015 and it is my opinion that it should have been a part of the S28 recall on the Grand Cherokees. I have requested reimbursement from Jeep and was told it would be denied because it was not under the covered VIN. I requested that the dealership keep the part in order to confirm it was the same defect, but they said it was already destroyed. I feel like Jeep did not do a wide enough recall to cover all vehicles with that defect and would ask for you to look into it and assist me with getting reimbursement for the costs incurred. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Car hesitation to accelerate and jerks when driving from a start . Took it to the dealer and they couldn’t get a code from issues. The issue happens sporadically but will be taking car back again to see if they can figure it out after next incident.

The SVC 4WD light has come on. I cannot switch to any of the 4wd modes. I do not have the locking differential or anything, just the standard PTU that comes with the Jeep Limited. When I press the brakes when switching from park to drive or reverse, there is a clicking noise in the shifter as well. I am not sure about the safety of myself or others at the moment, as this just happened. The problem has not yet been confirmed by a dealer. No body official has yet to inspect the vehicle component. The SVC 4WD light came on intermittently for about a week, and is now on permanently.

While driving my jeep the service park brake light came on and shortly after the park break automatically engaged and brought me to a stop, it has been in the shop 4 different times for this same issue and they can’t get it fixed, I get it back and it just continues to happen over and over, this is a huge safety issue and I would like there to be a fix for it

Automatic trunk does not open with either inside button on dash or outside button on latch. So I had to open it manually. While it was up the motor spontaneously activated, causing the trunk lid to hit me on the head. When it did hit my head, it did not automatically go back up. The issue is intermittent and when I took it to the dealer, they could not replicate it. This has happened several times.

The service 4WD light has come on and I have no AWD or 4WD so I took my jeep to Merlins to get diagnosed. They reported back to me that code C14A7-97 PTU Motor came up. They also told me that it is a safety recall and to take it to Jeep to have repaired. I have called 4 Jeep dealers and they have all told me that I do not have any open safety recalls and it will cost between 3 to 6k to repair. I have goggled the code and my Jeep does fall within the years of the recall and they have extended the recall. Merlins gave me the screen shots of the code and the safety recall and my Jeep should be included it it. I only have 61k miles on my jeep. I want to get my Jeep added to the recall or added as an independent recall.

I was sitting at a red light when the light turned green I hit the gas and I heard clunk truck put it on park got out to check andy car rolled backwards into a man's car then wouldn't go forward or reverse and then after awhile mechanic got there and said the right front axle came undone from the ptu some how

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with the "Shift from Park to Drive" message displayed. Additionally, the SVC warning light illuminated. The contact shutoff and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the transmission shifter was replaced. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

Dealer is refusing to replace a failed/noisy PTU as it does not have the mil code. Stellantis own paper work states it “may” have codes. Not that it must. They have refused to replace the part under the XJ1 warranty extension.

My 4X4 service light came on and I was advised by the Dealership that my Power Train Unit needs to be replaced.

Our Vehicle is currently at the Dealership for a Power Liftgate electrical issue. There is a documented recall for 2016 Jeep models regarding the Power Liftgate. Our vehicle does not show any open recalls but this should be investigated as being associated with the active recall for Power Liftgate.

Since inception of purchasing the vehicle in January 2019, I have experienced a sudden jolt, banging sound/feeling. In the beginning the issue was subtle. In addition, I have felt a sudden loss of speed. It should be noted I did not seek any service at this time. As a side note, sometime in 2020/2021 i received a letter of a recall for fault PTU however this was for another jeep i owned no longer in my possession. This prompted me to call mopar to see if my current vin was possibly on that first recall of jeeps however i was advised it was not even though i had experienced the same issues described. Fast forward to as of recently august 2023, I received a recall letter with this current vin and proceeded to the nearest dealership for repair. I was advised the repair was a software update. As I was leaving the dealership after the update, I felt the loss of power, jolt and grinding when turning to backup with the service 4wd illuminated. I reparked and walked back inside the dealership when I was advised the repair was only a software update. In addition, I was advised a diagnostic test could be done for $175. I was advised to wait a couple of key cycles to see if the issues corrects itself. The software update has since not corrected itself and I feel as though I am at risk of an accident. This issue is getting worse with my vehicle and is a safety concern. I feel as though I am being penalized for faulty PTU which is on the manufacturer for costs to assure correction/repairs made. Thank you your time in reading this.

The vehicle just cuts off while in the middle of driving and everything shuts off. New battery installed 2 months ago, no loose cables, plenty of gas. Cutting off while driving poses a very bad hazard. The last time it happened the shop that had recently changed my oil two weeks prior said it was due to loose battery cables and it has now been a month since that occurrence took place. Now it's happening again.

Ptu fail the second day of purchasing my car on my birthday with my 2 daughters was in the car with me a 1 year old and 2 year old the car made a big boom and stop it put it self in park. I took the car to a shop yes it was confirmed the ptu yes I took it to Jeep no they appeared after that happen

Vehicle had been running fine .Then coming home from work Friday came up to a yield sign went to press on gas heard a noise then car drifted to a stop wouldn't move in drive or reverse was able to drift to side of the road. Was a lot of traffic driving by wasn't able to inspect the car. Called for a tow truck they got my car on a flatbed and took vehicle to dealership were I bought vehicle. They looked at jeep next day said it needs a new transmission. I've read about a lot of people having issues with the zf 9 speed transmission. If this were to happen on a highway someone could be killed or seriously injured. Chrysler, jeep have been having problems since 2014-15 with the 9 speed transmission they were supposed to have fixed the problems in 2016 but sounds like there fix was unsuccessful. Thank you

The PTU has failed and needs to be replaced. There were no indicators of it failing, and had it gone out completely while driving it could have caused a serious crash. Dealership has evaluated it, and stated there is no recall and the part needs to be replaced for a cost of over $3,300. There is a national backorder on the part as other vehicle owners are facing the same problem. There were 2 recalls in relation to the PTU in similar models of this vehicle, but they did not address all cars made during that time frame, and the latest safety recall was a software patch and didn't actually replace the faulty part.

My 2016 Jeep Cheroke with 75,000 miles started to show a yellow 4WD service light. It would come on and off. I brought it to a Jeep service repair center, where it currently sits, and they confirmed the PTU is NO good. Needs to be replaced at a cost of over $3,000. And to make matters worse, I was advised not to drive the Jeep because it is a safety issue! Also, there is a recall out for "certain" Jeep Cherokees, not mine, with the same exact issue! My Jeep Cherokee was manufactured during the time of the recalled Cherokees but it isn't part of this recall at this point?! I do not have $3,000 to repair a failed PTU which is part of a recall but not my jeep "yet," but if I am driving the Jeep and the PTU totally fails, the Jeep will lose power to the wheels and it can cause an accident. Jeep knows this PTU is an issue but won't help. This is a safety issue.

Alike several other report I have read on here, my service 4wd dashboard light came on. I took it to the Oxford Dodge dealership where I purchased it and was told the PTU (power transfer unit) needed to be replaced and is currently on backorder. I am concerned that 1000’s of jeeps 2016&2017’s had been recalled for a PTU issue, but like mine and several others on here they were not included in the recall yet her the issues arise and fear that there may be a lot of Jeep’s needing to be recalled and that ppl’s safety is at risk if not performed.

Parking brake electronic module experienced water corrosion, automatically engaged right electronic parking brake & brake would not release. This issue has been reported on the same makes/models as my vehicle and a recall was issued- my VIN is not covered in the recall, though it’s apparent it should be. This is a dangerous issue as the water corrosion caused the parking brake to automatically engage with no solution for releasing due to the water damage.

4WD Service light came on for 2 mins then would turn on off after driving for 3 weeks. Then light came on and would not turn off. Car was taken to independent auto shop and was diagnosed as a bad PTU (power transfer unit). Currently waiting for service at jeep dealership. Service wait is over 3 weeks. Car is stuck in 2wd and has no traction control even if it is stated as being engaged. Front wheels spin on slightest touch from a stop and on turns at speeds over 35 mph.

Transmission light will come on. Then I'll lose power. I've taken it to my local jeep shop who have said it's a bad PTU.

PTU motor failure.

Approx. 4 weeks ago (6/14/23), the service 4WD service light started to come on/off at random times in my 2016 Jeep Cherokee (upon starting car, putting car in reverse, making a turn and just during driving). On 6/22/23, I took my vehicle to an independent auto shop to see if they could pull a code as to the issue of the service 4W drive light and they could not pull a code to find out what the issue was. I then scheduled an appointment with a Chrysler/Jeep dealership on 7/6/23 to have them investigate the service 4WD light. I was advised that the PTU (Power Transfer Unit) needs to be replaced as metal was found inside. A new PTU has been ordered as of 7/11/23 but was advised that this part is on backorder with no ETA. Upon research, Jeep issued a recall in 2020 for 2016 and 2017 Jeep Cherokees over PTU's affecting 93K vehicles. I believe the internal recall # was 45A and the previous recall # was W47. My 2016 Jeep Cherokee (64K miles) was not a part of said recall. I believe Jeep has a larger problem with the PTU's being used in their vehicles but does not want to admit it. Upon reading the NHTSA Part 573 Safety Recall report - 23V-302 regarding the recall of the PTU's, the safety risk is a loss of motive power which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning. My Jeep may not have had the component parts numbers listed in said report but did the recall for the PTU's go deep enough than the part numbers listed? Has Jeep really corrected the issue with their PTU's? At this time, I do not know if I have a safe vehicle to drive. I do not know if I am putting myself and other's at risk for an unknown time period. I am concerned about the safety of driving my vehicle based on the Safety recall report.

I was sitting in park waiting to pump gas and when it was my time to pull forward, I shifted into drive and when I pushed the gas pedal my emergency break was on without me turning it on. About 30 minutes later this happened again. I turned off the vehicle and turned it back on and when I did, the emergency break came on. I am concerned that the emergency break will engage again when put into drive without me knowing.

The contact owns a vehicle 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V338000 (Electrical System, Structure) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The SRV 4WDR light is still coming on after getting the recall work done on the PTU at the Fox jeep dealership today. A spline was replaced I think. Recall 45A. I believe the whole PTU is bad.

Driving down the road the emergency brake engaged and the car stopped. If there had been a car behind me, this would have created an accident, especially if I had been on the highway. I have read that others have had this problem and there is class action suit.

My "service 4wd" light continues to come on and the shop said my PTU needs replaced but my VIN number isn't part of the recalls so it's going to cost me several thousand dollars.

I just bought my vehicle and I looked it’s been driving funny I took it to the shop they said I need my ptu fixed when I looked it up there is a recall but I don’t understand why my car not involved in the recall when it’s majority jeeps problem right now

My electronic parking brake malfunctioned AGAIN. The vehicle was parked and turned off without activating the parking brake. When I returned to the vehicle and restarted it the parking brake was engaged and would not turn off. In addition, the red ‘brake’ light, and yellow electronic park brake warning light on the dashboard appeared; the odometer was flashing. After several attempts putting the vehicle in D and then R, in effect “rocking it”, the parking brake did disengage. All of the lights remained on. Each time the car was placed back into ‘park’ the parking brake would re-engage, and I needed to go back through the same process to disengage the parking brake.” About the third time, the Parking Brake permanently engaged and could not be disengaged by any means. The car is at the dealer to have the Brake Module replaced for the 3rd time, ALL due to water intrusion. Water is getting in the electrical systems. There’s a recall for a minor water intrusion issue on the lift gate! This is the SAME issue. Please issue a recall before someone is seriously injured or killed. This brake could engage at any moment and easily cause a collision.

For months now I keep having something wrong not sure whats wrong either it’s engine, powertrain. It keeps doing different stuff. First it’s acting like it want to dye like stall out for no reason. Sometimes it loses power like hitting the gas peddle but won’t go engine just fires up. The other day I had issues trying to put into reverse to back up hit the gas and it just accelerated really bad but didn’t move almost like it was stuck in gear. I’ll be driving down road and out of nowhere my car accelerated gears to 3/4 wouldn’t go down when i was going 40 on straight road. Took few minutes to unstick. Whatever is going on seriously needs looked into bc i am worried it’s gonna cause me get hit. This been going on for couple years and i am about ready to trade my Jeep in for different dealer

I was driving mid day today and I noticed my display on the dash had gone dim as if the headlights had turned on and the dash lights dimmed expecting it to be dark inside. I then got a ding about the auto shutoff when stopped feature not working (this has been dinging for a few years and hasn’t worked since shortly after I got the vehicle in 2018, however it’s been working the last few weeks). I was pulling into a grocery store looking for a spot when all of a sudden the car died. I lost brakes and power steering but luckily was going slow. I turned off the key, put it in park, and it turned right back on. I pulled into a spot and then noticed the engine light on. I’ve read countless forums about this exact issue. Other owners have experienced this since their Jeep was brand new. I’ve had this for 5 years without issues until lately. Prior to the is event, my car was experiencing the same issue with the display dimming. A week prior to the stall today, I was driving around 70 mph when the dash dimmed and I think went completely dark for a bit. I got a ding about the auto shutoff and another stating that 4wd was not available. I tried to turn my headlights on and off but there was nothing. I didn’t have any blinkers either. I pulled over, turned it off and back on and all was fine the rest of the hour-long drive home. I am extremely concerned about it stalling, especially if I’m turning in front of traffic at an intersection. This is not uncommon and other owners are concerned for their safety as well.

The contact owned a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that she had parked the vehicle in the driveway near the garage of her friend's residence, and 10 minutes later, she was informed that the vehicle had caught on fire. The contact stated that the vehicle caught on fire from the front seats onward. The contact stated that the fire expanded to the garage, causing the whole residence to catch on fire. The contact stated that the five adults and two children, who were occupying the residence immediately exited the residence. The contact was able to extinguish the fire with the assistance of the fire department. A fire department report was filed. The contact did not recall whether a police report was filed. There was no injury sustained. The vehicle was totaled. There was no further information provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The manufacturer later informed the contact that the case had been closed as they were unable to investigate the remains of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an unknown speed, there was smoke coming from the liftgate. Fellow motorists alerted her son of the failure as he pulled over and allowed the liftgate to cool down. The contact stated that her son was able to drive the vehicle home without further incidence; however, the liftgate failed to open. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure; however, the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V338000 (Electrical System, Structure). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 78,000.

PTU failure, dealer cannot effectively perform recall 45A without a whole PTU replacement, at a cost of upwards of $4000. This is a known issue with the PTUs in these Jeeps, with numerous service bulletins and recalls regarding the part. Failure of the 4x4 system has put my, and others’ safety at risk because unreliability in inclement snowy weather conditions and forcing the vehicle into 2wd mode unexpectedly could cause loss of traction or control. The problem is well known, simply search “Jeep Cherokee PTU failure” and hundreds if not thousands of other owners have experienced the same issue. The component has been inspected by a Jeep dealership/service center and confirmed to be faulty. At highway speeds, seemingly randomly, the warning message “4WD System Temporarily Unavailable” would sometimes come on briefly, then go away. After failure of the part, “4WD System Unavailable, Service Required” would come on persistently and 4WD was not functional at all.

When I came to a stop, and turned right or left, I could hear a low "growl" in the rear.This started around April, I went for my oil change and regular maintenance on June 2 and mentioned to my mechanic about the noise. The warning light "service 4WD" was coming on. A computer check was done. It was suggested it was most likely a differential issue with the 4WD. The repairs were not done at the time. I reviewed the cost of repair/replace and also found reports of other people with the same vehicle and issue. I saw the campaign #23V-302, 20V343000, and FCA recall 45A.

While driving on the freeway transmission went out without any warning or signs. Was going 65 mph in the fast lane and engine rpm went up but speed dropped to 35 mph almost getting rear ended and barely made it to the emergency lane.

Blower module, a/c module and yes it’s available anytime. For starters my a/c doesn’t work completely and I have a newborn that cannot be in this vehicle due to that issue. Also with my first encounter with the issue, my car turned off and all the lights came on then turned off and warned that autostart/stop didn’t work, and my emergency brakes didn’t work along with my traction control. The a/c error has be confirmed by a dealer for me, but they said it was rare for a bunch of electronics to go out with it. The vehicle has not been looked yet by a manufacturer dealer due to money being tight. The car stopped working for about 5 minutes with my brother inside the vehicle. The lights flashed on then threw out all those warnings I had mentioned up top.

I had the Emergency Brake Module replaced in Nov 2020 at a cost of over $900, plus a rental car for 2 weeks. Yesterday, 05/28/23, my emergency brake started setting itself AGAIN, plus the dash shows same error codes as before. Being a holiday weekend, I took it to the only place that was open. They cannot fix it. It requires the dealer. It’s the same issue as before. The emergency parking brake sets every time the vehicle goes into park. I’ve been able to get it unstuck 2x, so I didn’t have to have the vehicle towed YET, but I’m not sure I will be able to get the brake unstuck again. It’s very scary driving it because the emergency can engage randomly at any speed. This is an issue the NHTSA must investigate further. Clearly with a second failure of the same system, there is a serious safety issue. Warranty doesn’t cover it because it’s out of warranty. Extended warranty doesn’t cover it because it’s “water intrusion”. Chrysler/Jeep has known about this issue. It’s a manufacturer defect and a serious safety issue. Chrysler/Jeep needs to be held accountable before someone is seriously injured or killed.

My emergency parking brake module failed. The module would then engage the emergency brake randomly causing it to stick and create a very dangerous situation. I was able to get the brake to disengage and drive to the dealer for repairs. The repair took awhile and was expensive. I’m extremely fortunate I wasn’t driving when it happened, and I went immediately to the dealer. This was an incredibly unsafe situation as the brake will engage even when driving. My Jeep was stuck in front of the dealer where I parked it with the brake fully engaged. They came to get me to show them how I got the brake to disengage and move the vehicle into the shop. The brake module is in an unfortunate place with no protection from water damage. A leak (probably from the rear sunroof drain coming unattached) caused my damage. Jeep has known about this defect for a long time. My damage was in fall 2020. I’m just now reporting it because I’m having emergency parking brake issues again only 2.5 years later. This is extremely unsafe and Jeep must be held accountable.

I don’t as on vacation in the Smokey Mountains. I turned a corner, heard a noise and my Jeep wouldn’t go anymore. Luckily there was a pullout near me and I coasted in. I had to walk about a mile to get a cell signal to call Jeep. A tow truck came 4 hours later and it took over 3 weeks to get repairs. The Power Transfer (a known defect) was the issue. It was replaced by Jeep under warranty. I only had a little over 26k miles on the vehicle at the time. It was dangerous because had a I been higher up in the mountains or on an interstate, it could have cost me my life. Additionally, I was alone and the Knoxville TN dealership where the vehicle was towed was absolutely NO HELP whatsoever & rude to boot!

We were told at dealership that the vehicle needs a new PTU, however, we are not under recall as of now. This looks like a widespread issue with 2014-2016 jeeps and they need to be replaced.

Recently my emergency brake locked up while driving and lost control and bumped my head pretty hard the car would not release it brought it to jeep dealer they said it’s corrosion due to water intrusion in the electronic emergency brake module after doing a little research on finding that a lot of people are having the same problems and have reported them to you. I also called jeep and had a customer service representative. That was very rude and did not care about the accident. I’ve just been in Is there anything you can do as my car is stuck in the shop at the moment, don’t want to put a new part in if it’s going to happen again because it’s a manufacture defect, and I also don’t want the brakes to lock up while me or my wife is driving. This is very dangerous and needs immediate attention now

Engine and drive bad engine but just bought less 7 month ago

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while making a turn, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on two occasions to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the rear knuckles needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired twice; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken back to the independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the rear knuckles and knuckle bushings needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

Tire and brake , bear , park brake etc less 6 month issue

Ever since I bought this vehicle new in 2016 every once in a while it was like the transmission was skipping a gear. Today I was stopped at a red light and then excelerated(not heavily) to go.. and it seemed to keep slipping and would not pick up speed.. i had vehicles behind me so slowly moved over to the shoulder, put vehicle out of gear and then back into gear.. hesitated a bit and then went fine.. This was the scariest incident for me. only has 95000 kms. Checked ViN.. lots of power train issues.. but like the others.. my VIN has not been recalled.. I think this issue needs to be looked into .. with so many of the same complaints.

I’ve been doing my research and the same issue my car is having many keeps have also had. On highways our card will go limp and stall out. The engine light will come on and the four wheel drive will become not functional. This is a severe issue in winter. As well as the lack of control on highways. I was driving on the highway going 65 up a hill my car engine light went on i lost all acceleration had to coast to the shoulder. When this happened i turned my car off and back on I couldn’t accelerate up the hill and stayed rolling back it took 45 minutes being shut for me to get out of limp mode. It does it to me every single time I leave my house now. The scanner will not show what’s wrong I’ve put 100s of dollars into my jeep trying to fix the issue and it’s still the same. This is a sever issue for winter and highway driving. It also feels like the wheel gets hard to turn when this happens. It also sounds like the engine is shaking badly or thumping.

PTU failed at 81000 miles and needs to be replaced. This repair is estimated to cost me $3400 and happened after just completing regular maintenance on the vehicle. When the Service AWD light came on the vehicle swerved on its own into another lane and could have caused an accident.

PTU. Car jumps while in park

Sometimes when I mash the gas pedal to pull out from a stop it hesitates and doesn't move, then is sluggish when it does. This has happened often. It's dangerous.

Sometimes when driving a message comes up that says check shifter. I cannot get the message off and have to pull over and restart the car, Sometimes a couple of times before the message goes away. This happens often.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while the brake pedal was depressed at a stop, she then depressed the accelerator pedal; however, the vehicle delayed two to three seconds before responding. The vehicle then stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several seconds. The contact stated that while making a left or right turn, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that she had to wait several seconds to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact stated that the spark plugs were replaced, and a tune-up was performed but the failure recurred. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while her daughter was driving approximately 35 MPH, the transmission was slipping. The contact's daughter pulled over and turned off the vehicle and was able to restart the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the power transfer unit (PTU) needed to be replaced; however, the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

All of the warning lights on the dash light up at once. The car then suddenly goes into limp mode. The car has been to the dealer 4 times for this problem. The dealer thought is was a bad module, however the car is continuing to have problems after replacing it twice. I'm scared to drive the car. We already had a problem with the car with oil consumption where the car would turn off while driving, the dealer fixed that problem.

I took my Jeep to get serviced on March 16, 2023 for a 'service shifter' light. This had already been replaced before and had a 2 year warranty so this was fixed however my issue now lies that last week around April 20, 2023, I got another light indicating "service 4wd". I took my car to the dealership today to be told the diagnosis was "internal PTO failure". I was quoted an insane amount to repair and was told that the part is not available as it is on BACK ORDER. After looking this information up online I see that Jeep had multiple recalls for this same issue for vehicles 2014-2017 however mine is not appearing on the recall. I called Jeep and was told there was nothing they can do and I'm extremely upset because the simple fact that the part is on back order let's me know that this is a common issue that others must be having as well yet Jeep has yet to take any action for their faulty equipment. This poses an immense danger for me because the repricautions are that if I drive my vehicle I am risking my life in that the car might come to a complete stop mid drive. Should I be in an accident I can only hope Jeep will take accountability for their ignorance and delayed responses. If Jeep is aware of PTU/PTO issues with their vehicles ALL jeeps within the 2014-2017 timeline should be eligible for this replacement under the recall and the part should be mass produced to ensure every customer gets from point A to point B safely. When driving my car home from the dealership I felt my car tug when making a sharp left turn and my car swiveled immediately thereafter. I also noticed that it is taking immense amount of effort for my car to accelerate when pressing the gas which terrifies me that it will simply come to a complete stop and jeopardize my life at any given moment. This needs to be addressed ASAP and a new recall needs to be issued to remediate this error.

My Vehicle shuts down once a day, every morning after about a couple minutes of driving. The engine shuts off, the dash notifies me to "Shift vehicle into park then desired gear" but with my engine off, I have to restart my car as well. My car won't restart unless I try over and over and hold the key while turning the ignition. Occasionally I get a "Service Shifter" notification on my dash but no lights or notifications besides that. I've been to one Jeep dealership service department so far and they were not able to locate the cause.

Start stop system is malfunctioning. It will go off that it is malfunctioning after I go down the hill or up the hill sometimes if it’s wet out it’ll just go off but it’s not working and the other problem I’m having is the engine oil coolant housing. cracked. I noticed A bad smell of oil, then when I parked and came out of the store a bunch of oil under my car and further inspecting with my brother who was a mechanic, but retired said it is the oil engine coolant housing. He doesn’t understand why they put plastic for that type of part. both of these problems started in January 2023

Power Train is failing; Service 4WD light blinks on and off affecting the driving of the vehicle. Dealer stated is a failing PTU; but my VIN is not in the recall from the 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokees Safety Recall W47 / NHTSA 20V-343. Dealer stated the part is on backorder and there is no expected timeframe for repair/replacement. Obviously, a larger problem for this specific vehicle Make/.Model It appears there is a need to extend this recall to all Jeeps; as the PTU's seem faulty for all Jeeps from 2014-2017. My Jeep is a 2016.

For last yr i keep having car want stall did recall on it. Helped for bit, then it’s always wanting stick between 2/3 when trying change gears. On different recall it fixed for bit the temp on transmission bouncing back forth a lot in temps. I have recorded video to show it. Now my engine light is on for P0441 code with power train possible evap leak. It just keeps being one problem after another like it’s not wanting to get gas to it what seems like. It’s all happened over last year and engine light came on Sat

This problem started 3 o 4 day after I got the car from the dealer, I was driven to my work in highway 70 lonoke Arkansas and suddenly my car started to shift back and started to lose velocity and others cars started to pass me, was very scary ,I took the car to the dealer and they told me, they don't know what happen with the car,they don't let the mechanic to fix it and I took the vehicle to O'Reilly, they scanned it and found that was the Coil and Sparkle,so I bought both and they recommended the next door mechanic TIRE AND LUBE. In lonoke, the car run good for 2 months because I fix it February 8th 2023 and April 4 again I was driven back from my work, the check engine come one a message of transmission service show up, the car started to backup or speed, lose velocity, took it to the mechanic, they scanned it again and show a code P0887 that mean,TCM need to be fix or the Software computer. All this happens in less of the 3 months that I got this car, I got the car in January 17th 2023.Is very important for my safety and the safety of others to know, if is any anomaly with those Cars, that can't be fix no matter what, because right now today April 6th I am sitting here waiting the dealer call me for take my car to be checked it and I m scare to drive, because I don't know how the car go to behave and also already, I have a lot of money invested in this car that even doesn't help me to get to work, I scare for me and others. I can't drive in the Freeway I 40 because with all this problem from the car I can get in a very very bad accident.

Bad PTU unit in Jeep part #68307403AG. Have not been able to drive jeep for half a year now due to bad ptu unit. Jeep will swerve and driver will lose control of steering. Warning stating 4wd is currently unavailable this will have approximately every 15-20 mins. PTU has been on back order for over 6 months now.

This car has had reoccurring issues related to the engine, ignition module and starter. It breaks down every few weeks. It has left me broken down and stranded on freeways, city roads and most recently on the side of a hill. When the key is inserted, it will not turn over completely and even after the key is removed the engine continues to make clicking sounds as if it is still trying to turn over and it smokes from underneath the hood. There were no warning indications. It has been taken to the dealer numerous times for the same issue but they do not find a problem and return it back to me just for it to occur again. Or the dealership will say they've fixed it but nothing has actually been done to the car. The dealership continues to be negligent. After the most recent occurence of the car leaving me stuck on the side of a hill and smoking, it was brought to the dealership August 2021 and still remains there as they continue to give me false hop in repairs. I have now not that vehicle in my possession for 6 months.

On 1/30/2023, I had a flat tire and called AAA for assistance. The AAA technician was unable to remove the tire and said the vehicle would need to be taken to a full-service auto shop. I then called Firestone Complete Auto Care to see if my vehicle could be looked at there. The Firestone technician let me know the problem with getting the tire off was relating to the lug nuts. He explained Jeep started using a 2-piece lug nut, where water gets inside and causes swelling. The technician said he has seen this numerous times in Jeeps...and mentioned it should be a recall because it is a safety issue. I contacted Jeep 5 times about this. They said there is no recall, and they didn't really care to help me with this. I ended up paying to replace all the lug nuts on my vehicle because I didn't want to have the same thing happen or worse. The people at Jeep have been very dismissive about this, although I have seen many complaints and reviews relating to the same lug nut issue.

Let's start with my vehicle was first in the shop back in February for a failed brake line. Some how it failed. Then my thermoset unit failed. Not sure why on that either. Then they noticed some other issues were fixed. I got my vehicle back. A few days later my vehicle was back in the shop because my transmission kept doing something causing me to keep getting kicked out of gear causing me to stop in the middle of the intersections which could have caused an accident. I lost my acceleration control and while driving I kept losing traction. Then supposedly fixed it. Then the same day I got it back I had to send it back to dealership due to the transmission kept getting kicked out of gear causing me to get stuck in the middle of an intersection. They finally towed it. Apparantly they need a part which is currently on back order for some unknown reason.

Warning system telling me of a problem. Problem with the transfer case. 4 wheel drive issue. Only about 65k miles

My dash is bubbling up. The topsy the windshield needs replacing.

received message on dashboard service transmission after 22,700 miles and bringing car to delearship where car was purchased and has been serviced I was just informed transmission is out need new transmission. This is my second Jeep at the same dealership with transmission being a faulty one, also with less than 25,000 miles

Engine oil cooler failure, had to be replaced. Known issue per 3 techs. Leaks oil onto engine and exhaust. No warning, just the smoke and smell of burning oil. Occurred at 73,200 miles more or less.

PTU unit failed.Took to dealer confirmed PTU failed.

This is directly copied from the nhsta.gov website in regulars to recall repairs. This is False information. The car has not had the emission recall completed. The item has been on back order since the notice was mailed to me. On first attempt Jeep dealership O Brian in Greenwood Indiana says the part is back ordered. There is a national shortage. They can not complete repair. Refuses to note my account that I contacted them for repair. 14 months when first. 2nd attempt the part is still back ordered and they are un aware of when the part will become available. They are booked 7 months out for repair as the item becomes available: 3rd attempt jeep dealership Washington st Indianapolis. Dealer says. 4-6 months for repair and asks me if I need the vehicle. I said yes it’s my car, my transportation. I’m am offered to leave the car on the lot and they will try to fit it in when they can. They will not offer a car to use while mine is waiting on the lot. 4th attempt still I am told at jeep Greenwood 3-4 months but I can leave the car and they will get to it eventually. I decline. I call FCA October 2022. Inform them that I have been making contact and no one is able to fix the car. I explain the vehicles decline over the past months. I tell them my emission warranty was ending within 200 mil.Abd asked what do I do. They told me to park the car and not use it. They won’t note my acct that I contacted them trying to avoid the end of warranty loss. They won’t pay for rental car while mine is parked to avoid miles as that was there only solution. They would not call the dealerships to force a service appt. Also refuse to tell me the TSB BULLETINS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN. I asked them to note all the cars issues I am experiencing. I was told to tell a dealership. I even mentioned the cruise control not disengaging and increasing instead. water leaking in the back on electrical. No reply nada Recall data refreshed on Mar 11,2023 0 Unrepaired Recalls associated with this VIN

NHSTA WEBSITE STATES Form Approved: OMB No. 2127-0008; Expires 08/31/2021 LOCATED TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER OF COMPLAINT PAGE. It is unknown if all reports being made are being validated. Attempts to make contact about this have been unsuccessful and no emails replied to. Informed my stated attorney general. No reply was received

Car has only once had a MIL light activate. It was at 76000 and required a thermostat replacement. Cost 250 mechanics labor and part cost. The car has needed to have1qt added every 2k miles. No oil light comes on. When I purchased the car at 72k I would smell gasoline and burning oil. Took it to Napleton jeep where I bought it and had the oil changed to be safe. The same week I purchased it. Mechanic informed me it was “just a little low” 3qts. The car holds 5,5 - that’s more than a Little low. He nor the manager informs me Of oil consumption problems. The car currently has oil sitting on top of the engine. I will add a picture of the cars engine the day after having the oil changed and the excess oil cleans off. The image will show the amount of oil that was back on it just from driving it home a 12 min drive not stop and go. Dealership finally noted it was 3 qts low. Contacted fca. They refused to do anything but said to start a oil consumption test. They suggested the emmison recall should fix the oil consumption. Fca was aware that I couldn’t put 1500 miles on the car before the long block engine replace for the class action lawsuit on Tigershark engines last day to file claim was in 7 days. They were aware all dealerships refused to give me my paper work for servicing and oil being low prior

The component that needed replacement was the PTU (Power Transfer Unit). My Service 4WD drive light began going on so I brought it to my mechanic who told me there was a recall associated with this diagnostic code and to bring it to Jeep dealership. I then brought to dealership, was charged $160.00 and told that the recall was not for my particular VIN number and the cost of the repair was $3,000. When I googled this issue, there were all of the same warning lights, and all told that the PTU had failed. I fond it hard to believe that this same unit is faulty in the same year, make and model but only in specific cars? Isn't it the same part? I had to save up for the repair as it was costly. I was told that the car was drive-able. I was then driving with my daughter in the car and the car stopped accelerating and warning lights came on. I had to coast into a parking lot and the dashboard flashed to put the car in park. I put it in park and then car still would not accelerate. I called Jeep Customer Service to try and discuss this matter, as I could not afford the repair but need my vehicle for my job. They told me there was nothing they could do and there was no recall on my vehicle. The problem has been repaired by an independant service center on 2/8/23 for $1430.00 I have been a loyal Jeep customer for over 20 years and was very disheartened by this latest issue and how it was handled.

While driving, when attempting to accelerate, the vehicle dies. Have to pull over, shift into park and attempt to restart. Sometimes restarts quickly, sometimes you have to crank and crank. Also dies if you have to stop suddenly. Example, when someone pulls out in front of you or changes lane/swerves in front of you. Problem was intermittent, in cold weather, when vehicle was cold. Now, it is likely to happen at any time. This creates a dangerous situation, trying to get off of the road when it dies. Check engine light is on, and "lightning bolt" dash light comes on when vehicle stalls. Ran diagnostic - revealed no code.

The contact's sister-in-law owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the service shifter warning message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact inspected the vehicle and discovered that both the bezel and the column inside the wiring harness needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The local dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Vehicle hesitates, vibrates, looses momentum, shutters, almost stalls when ac to touched since the day I bought it at napelton jeep in palm beach fla. I was told it’s a jeep thing. The engine roars to like like it’s fighting to start. A fan sound will go on and off non stop effecting the power and rpm’s. A loss of power happens and then the car goes back to normal after a completely shaking the cab vibrating and shuttering

Car refused to exit cruise control, again Instead it accelerated. I pressed again and again cruise control to stop it did not respond. Repeatedly And more frantic I pushed pushed the button as stopped cars grew closer. The car started to accelerate instead and refused to stop Even when pressing the brake. I was able to push the brake down enough to get to engage neutral after multiple attempts. I feared fir my life and for others due to not being in control of the vehicle that was not responding to commands. I was told that the vehicle had been serviced for this problem when it happens to me prior and the dealership refused a free update due to a tsb saying it has been corrected already and I would have to pay. The dealer didn’t even not my vehicle as I asked. I was told if I’m not paying I’m not a customer and they don’t note a account for non customers. Jeep dealer Greenwood Indiana. They also wanted to charge 400 to find out why I had water leaking in the back hatch on the drivers side and said they had no knowledge of a issue with that and would not note a non Customer acct for that either. Approximately march of 2022 definitely the year maybe later in the month of the year. It was not winter though

Car randomly looses all power. I was driving with out any indication of a problem then the car stalls out causing a life or death moment. When I was about to get the car to restart I was overwhelmed with codes noting loss of communication with almost all body controls. 84k mi

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal oil odor inside the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the oil filter housing was cracked and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

Service 4wd light is coming on. Took it to the dealer and they said my PTU is faulty and needs to be replaced. This is not covered under recall because my VIN number is not included. Upon research, over 60,000 Jeep Cherokees made from 2014-2017 were recalled for this same problem. My Jeep Cherokee is a 2016. This should be a recall for all models/VINs since mine falls in that range but for some reason is not included in the recall, yet is having the same issues.

My power transfer unit needs replaced at 39554 miles. Jeeps similar to mine have been recalled with the same problem. My service 4wd light came on which alerted me of the problem. I no longer have 4wd functionality on my car. I had the problem diagnosed today by the Medina Auto Mall Dealership. Driving with a failed power transfer unit is dangerous.

My "SERVICE SHIFTER" light keeps coming on. I have had it looked at 2 different times before. I have owned the vehicle for almost 2 years, and has done it after the 2nd month of having it.

My 2016 jeep Cherokee Limited which has the 2.4 L Tiger Shark engine is failing miserably. There is a extremely obvious ring around the entirety of the engine block. The manifold gasket has failed. The head gasket has never been removed by myself or by a jeep dealership who had my authority to do so. The indicator lights on my vehicle still have not illuminated other than alerting in me I had a faulty water pump which had to be replaced at 75k miles. The OEM thermostat is plastic. Not metal as it should be considering the elevated temp produced by 2.4 L Tiger Shark engine. That engine has destroyed the gasket. The damage started at the right hand side”opposite of oil opening” about the middle of the gasket head. My vehicle was serviced by jeep multiple times at Napleton’s JDR in West Palm Beach and the Jeep dealership in Greenwood Indiana. No one brought to my attention that I should have them investigate that. Instead alerted me to my windshield wipers needing to be replaced, Mind you a had done that the month prior from the same dealership. I question now why the engine was so very deeply cleaned when I purchased it and they even cleaned it twice in the days between me seeing and picking up the vehicle. They are aware of this. They were doing the oil changes. I asked how the oil was they always just said a bit low and never mentioned it unless asked. My next statement will be the now knocking pinging pistons. Mind you this Tiger Shark engine lifters/pistions are put in motion by OIL PRESSURE. Strangely the same problem Tiger Shark 2.4L is known for. No wonder so many people complain of there cars becoming immobilized when oil is beyond low. This is a very expensive fix. They knew it. Jeep would bankrupt if they had to either fix every single 2,4 L Tiger Shark engine and likely the multi air flow ones also. When I’m truth they should be totally replaced a blow head gasket and full engine tear down to replace lifters, head gasket+seal piston rings, spark plugs…

Power transfer unit (PTU) grinding at low gear. Went to dealer and said it’s shot. Car has 104,000 and these are fully contained cases so you can’t change the oil…

Jeep Cherokee 2016 has known Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 08-060-16 for electronic parking brake (EPB) malfunction. The EPB remains in the on position and automobile is not drivable nor safe to drive for risk of parking brake engaging without warning. Reason for the malfunction is due to water corrosion and damage to the connector module. (See attached pictures). According to our mechanic, the main issue is the part(s) needed to fix the issue are not available and not expected to be available until January 30, 2023. The time frame for this part continues to be pushed back. Originally was December 26, 2022.

Seems to be slipping

Service 4 wheel drive is on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee. Took it in to the dealership and they said it’s my PTU. My car should have been included in the 2020 recall on PTU. The jeep can seize up and it can stop working. It also can not go into park and can roll away. Not safe at all.

When I was driving my 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited through the grocery store parking lot today to pick up my groceries at the front of the store, my emergency parking brake suddenly came on and made my car skid to an abrupt stop. Fortunately, the pickup truck behind me did not run into the back of my car. A message on my dashboard said to depress the brake and then the emergency brake button to release the emergency brake. I did that, but as soon as I tried driving forward, the emergency brake kept automatically turning on and abruptly stopping my car. I was blocking traffic, so I had to turn the steering wheel to enter the closest available parking spot by repeatedly releasing the emergency brake and lurching forward a few feet before being abruptly stopped by the automatic emergency brake over and over again until the car was safely out of the way. I had to call the grocery store to have them hold my groceries and then call a friend to drive me home because it is Sunday and all the service garages are closed. Thank God I was not out on the highway. I recently complained to the Jeep dealership that it appears the previous recall repair to fix water leaking into the back of my car has failed, but they said there is no further recall for that. Now I see there are several owners with this same emergency brake problem that is most likely related to the leaking water. The previous recall said the car is unsafe and could catch on fire due to wires shorting. It is unbelievable that Jeep is not recalling these cars again to truly fix this very problem they previously admitted is very dangerous!!! The previous recall did not fix the problem of water leaking into the rear tailgate and now my car is malfunctioning and has standing water in the trunk. Dear God help me.

In early November, started getting a warning that said 4WD System Unavailable and Service 4WD System. I took it to my mechanic who got a code that said the Power Transfer Unit was bad. He looked it up and said there was an active recall on this. I took it to a dealer ship , and they confirmed this. However, according to them and Jeep, there is no recall on my vehicle. With so many PTUs failing, how can there not be an extended warranty/recall on this part. I'm afraid to use the vehicle in the snow because if it switches to 4WD, I'm worried the unit will fail and I will be stranded.

In multiple occasions the vehicle engaged automatic breaks while driving without any obstacles around. Some of those were accompanied by a break warning in the dashboard. In all cases, the break disengaged, and it was possible to continue driving the vehicle. It was lucky that there was no car close behind, as it would otherwise cause an accident. The vehicle was taken to an auto repair shop. They were able to replicate the behavior but were not able to pinpoint the cause.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while his fiancé was driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle crashed head-on into a tree. During the crash, the front-end was severely damaged but no air bags deployed. During the crash, the driver sustained head and neck injuries rendering her unconscious. The driver also sustained an injured right knee, leg contusions, and lacerations; along with chest and torso injuries. The driver was transported from the scene to seek medical attention. A police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was towed from the scene. The vehicle was later deemed destroyed by the insurance company. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

Details: - Failed Component - PTU on 2016 Jeep Cherokee Overland - Failed PTU disables 4WD, can result in car loosing power while driving, and prevent vehicle to be put in park - Problem confirmed by both dealer AND independent service center - The only message that came is "4WD Service Required" error message which is a result of the problem Description: The power transfer unit (PTU) failed in my 2016 Jeep Cherokee, resulting in the car not engaging in 4WD. The PTU is an important element of the all-wheel-drive system. A failed PTU may not be able to maintain a connection between the transmission and the front wheels. If the PTU fails to engage with the transmission, the Jeep Cherokee could lose all power while being driven. Also, a failure to engage could keep the vehicle from being put into park when stationary, allowing it to roll away. Either situation could result in a crash or injuries. There are already two recalls involving the Jeep Cherokee, and they involve the same problem. However, the VIN of my car is not included in those recalls.

My electric parking brake engaged when I parked my car, as it should have as I have Auto Park Brake engaged, but when I got in the car the next day the rear left parking brake would no release, and even after resetting the car by taking the battery off and checking fuses to make sure nothing had blown, the brake never released and my car produced an engine warning light and the parking brake light never turned off even though the rest of the brakes released. The light on the trigger on the center console flashes 24/7 now and none of my E brakes work now. I'm not sure why it does this but it has prevented me from using remote start since my engine light is on even though it has no other problems, and from using my E brakes to park, which has been quite rough on my transmission since I almost exclusively park on hills. I know this has been a problem for a few jeeps in these year models now and it seems too common to be used error.

4wd Service light comes on and the AWD system disengages while being used in slippery conditions, the system sometime clears and the system will re-engage.

i have a failed power transfer unit (PTU) 4WD light is on. This should be considered a recall i found that thousands of jeep owners have this same issue

The PTU failed in my 2016 Jeep Cherokee. This was diagnosed when the SVC 4WD light came on in September. The problem code is C14A7-97. From my online research I know this is a persistent problem with Jeeps with model year 2014-2017 resulting in multiple recalls because the problem has resulted in vehicles being disabled and multiple crashes. However, my VIN number was not included in those recalled by Chrysler. I ordered a replacement in early October and was told the part would be ready in 4-6 weeks. It is now two months later and the part is still not available. I’m told that at this point the part won’t be available until January. The vehicle transmission began making noises over the weekend related to the PTU. This is clearly a persistent and extensive safety issue that Chrysler is negligent in addressing. I have also been told by the service department at the dealer that there are 389 other Jeep drivers waiting for this part.

Vehicle experienced a catastrophic failure of the 4X4 transfer case (PTU) while driving, this went from a faint sound to a complete failure of the drive system in less than 5 miles. Vehicle was rendered completely UN-drivable almost immediately. If I had been on the highway I think this could have been a very serious incident that may have locked up the drive wheels. Fortunately, I was on a side road going only 25 MPH at the time. Dealer has no repair parts available, manufacturer claims no responsibility, although I have read in forums on line about many similar type failures.

The right side visor came loose, not being able to hold any position, hanging to be a distraction and impeding view. The issue seems to be a plastic component of the swivel joint broke just above where it's reinforced by metal. I assume both sides have similar construction/design, at risk of this mode of failure. A quick internet search leads me to believe this is common, with others indicating the breaking at the same place. Although this may be considered a convenience item, the function of shading sun, and its place within the field of view, makes it a safety concern.

In December of 2021, we had an issue where the car braking system locked up while driving at a slow pace. Brakes seized without as if parking brake was on and we were unable to drive the vehicle. It was locked in place. Could not put in neutral, or drive or release any brake. We towed it to the closest auto service who ran diagnostics and determined it to be a faulty brake system. They replaced the Antilock Braking System module and reprogrammed it, and also replaced the brake sensor and brake booster. All for $2400. The car seemed fine until July 2022 when the brakes seized again while my daughter was driving it. We had to again have it towed and naturally went back to the place where it was originally fixed. They said the brake booster and brake switch were defective. They replaced both. Now on Monday 11/21 my son was driving the car in Philadelphia and the brakes would NOT work while he was approaching an intersection. He was slamming on the brakes to avoid hitting car in front and luckily he stopped just short of hitting car. The brakes completely seized, unable to put the car in park or drive and had to be towed to a service center. We then had it towed from PA to MD to Ourisman Jeep Service Center. They are saying that we need to now replace the vacuum pressure sensor and pressure line and possibly the brake booster again but they won't know for sure until the pressure sensor and line is changed. This is getting to be ridiculous and very pricey but most importantly-SO SO SO DANGEROUS!!! This is 3 times the brake have failed (without warning) in less than a year while driving. Jeep needs to do something about this or there will be major lawsuits on their hands. I did a search and it seems that this has been a repeated problem with this make, year and model car. Why has this not been taken care of? This is a huge liability. I will upload receipts for 1st 2 repairs but for this 3rd instance the jeep is at the jeep service and hasnt been repaired yet

When I went to leave work yesterday on my dash a "P" with a circle around it was illuminated on my dash is orange. I also was unable to drive in reverse as my cars parking brake was on. I tried many things to get it to release with no luck. It took about 20 minutes of turning on and off the car, googling, depressing the break and many other items. I don't know how but i finally was able to find the right combination of knobs break petal and excel ration it dropped into reverse. Late that evening I attempted to leave my home again it would not allow me to back up. I was unable to use my car and was forced to Uber. I have since unhooked my batterie, did a combination of break petal, seat belt, brake release and gas to allow the care to reverse 5/10 times. This I hear is a continued issue with a Jeep and I should file this issue with NHTSA.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the transmission warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the transfer case and power train unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.

Electronic system failure purchase car in 2018 it is a 2016 jeep Cherokee electronic brake booster system failure in 2019 again in 2022 driving on the expressway at the second occurrence very dangerous brakes failed due to recurring issue brake booster basically has a three-year lifespan when hazards fatalities lives lost is when recall will be processed? What does it take?

Vehicle frequently has issues with the touch screen for the radio as well as the mechanical controls for the radio stop responding causing me to be unable to control the volume, power, tuning, using touch screen to control whether I am using the am/fm radio, bluetooth or other media options. When this happens the screen turns completely black as if there is no power going to the radio appearing and acting as if I have not started the vehicle at all. The radio also frequently switches itself from both Bluetooth and FM options to the same AM channel by itself. I actually had to take my vehicle in to the dealership and pay out of my own pocket after I was driving on a busy freeway and my vehicle suddenly stopped responding to me pressing the accelerator and the dash began flashing . The vehicle then turned completely off forcing me to shift into neutral and restart the vehicle again while actively slowing down on the freeway without any warning. When I restarted my vehicle and I put it back into drive I could then only accelerate to 25mph . When I took the vehicle in I had to pay for them to reprogram my computer and after researching I discovered that this was already a problem that caused a recall but upon bringing this up to the dealership as well as calling Chrysler directly I was informed that even though the problem was the same as the recall they issued my vin number was not a part of the recall so they couldn’t and would not do anything for me. The date this occurred may be different from what I put below but with the maintenance records from the dealership I took the vehicle to an exact date can be determined.

I’ve had this vehicle for a few years now and at the time of purchase the vehicle had 16,000-18,000 miles on it. It’s a 2016 and I believe I purchased the vehicle in 2019 so I’ve had it for about three years now. I didn’t really start to pay any attention to the shaking/shimmy/wobble that the vehicle has until about a year after I purchased it because at first it wasn’t nearly as noticeable as it is today and I had just upgraded from a cheap little Chevy cobalt that was a beater and the jeep was a huge upgrade and improvement from that vehicle causing me to gloss over the problem initially. The problem seems to get worse over time and regardless of me getting new tires, getting them balanced and alignments the same shaking/wobbling/shimmying persists. No issues can be determined that would cause the problem and I am told that the shaking is normal upon reaching higher speeds or that the complaint cannot be replicated. The shaking starts anytime I begin to reach speeds around 45 mph and higher and then seem to stop once reaching speeds around 65 mph . To test further I’ve reached speeds of around 80 mph and again the shaking starts once you get around 70 mph but does not stop shaking when letting off of the accelerator as it does at speeds of 65 mph and lower but instead continues to shake while both pressing the accelerator and letting off of the accelerator becoming worse if you apply the brakes. The shake seems to come from only the front wheels and is violent enough of a shake that it can be visibly witnessed and also felt by looking at the steering wheel and holding onto the steering wheel. Issue persist and has not been resolved. Tires also show uneven and irregular wear on the tread of both front wheels. Front tires need to be replaced more frequently than the rear tires. Rear tires always seem to look almost new while the front tires look as if they weren’t changed at the same time as the rear tires. Not consistent with what would be considered normal

During driving the SVS 4WD light appeared on the display. About the same time the Larger display flashed 4 wheel drive not available along with an audible bell. The jeep was taken to one dealer and the repair estimate was $6900. Took to another dealer who charged $134. for diagnosis and said the PTU was defective and the cost would be $3600 but the units were on back order and it could be 2 to 6 months to get a PTU unit. I was told I could continue driving the vehicle but would have no 4 wheel drive. I am driving the vehicle and the Bell sounds at interval saying to service 4 wheel drive and that it is not available. FCA has not offered any assistance on parts or labor and has said out of warrantee. Dealer said that it is a common problem that FCA should have addressed.

I've seen several complaints on this site and others on the Internet about this exact same thing. A "Service Shifter" warning has appeared 3-4 times. It lights up every light on the shift lever / gear control assembly and an alert permanently appears in the driver information display - making it impossible to see how fast I am driving (the mph display is usually there). Every single time, once the car was turned off and restarted - the warning disappeared and did not return for a long period of time. That said - anytime this happens - I have to pull over, turn the car off, then turn it on again. There are never any apparent symptoms before nor during the appearance of the warning. I took it to a mechanic, who was unable to determine what the problem could be. Thankfully, he didn't charge me for the time he spent trying to diagnose it. It's bad enough the car generates a frightening warning that takes over the speedometer display and severely distracts - but especially when it's apparently an undiagnosable problem. It's clear from the volume of complaints this is a major problem with 2016 Jeep Cherokees that the manufacturer should address.

When Driving car if you began to go down hill the car will race motor and run away by its self It is very dangerous in curvy and hilly areas. This cay be caused on a daily bases

2016 Jeep Latitude. 3.2 v6 service 4wd light comes on at 63,000 miles. 3,000 past power train warranty. Dealer said PTU is bad. $4,000. For repair. These are defective. A mechanic on you tube shows that the oil in the component leaks into the electronics in the actuator. Gears are fine. It seems that oil in the electronics could start a fire.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving approximately 68-70 MPH, the vehicle was shifting hard and the vehicle lost motive power. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the power transfer unit (PTU) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.

My daughter had the 4 x 4 transmission would not engage warning light went on. We took the vehicle in for a check. The dealership said she needed a PTO unit/PTU assembly since it has failed. This repair was quoted just under $3,000. This is our first jeep. I had a hard time understanding why a transmission part like this would fail in a 2016 vehicle. I did my own research online and articles stated that this EXACT same part was recalled in jeeps from 2014 to 2017 which included over 68,000 jeeps. Also over 2,700 jeeps already had the part replaced and were being reimbursed for charges. This is a part that if fails could cause injury or death. When mentioning this recall to the dealership and jeep customer service they said that our jeep was not PART of the recall based on our vehicle number. I am so upset by this, as it is a 2016 Jeep and it is the exact same part. I also called the NHTSA and the request inquiry is 565252.

Shortly after I purchased my vehicle in 2020 I had a service shifter come on the dash with all the lights illuminated on bezel. I took it to the dealership and it was giving codes to suggest the the shifter bezel and wiring needed to be replaced this was done approximately 07/2021. Since then I have had no other issues with it until this morning it came back on. I have looked this up and a lot of Jeep owners experience this issue. It is apparent that there is a manufacture issues or issue that I feel Jeep is responsible for and needs to fix. With this involving the shifter/transmission there is an obvious safety concern. Thank you.

Since I purchased this vehicle it has had issues with the 9-speed transmission. The transmission at times, shifts so hard, it feels like you have been rear-ended. The transmission shifts very hard at times and feels as if it's confused. In addition, there is a dangerous delay from when you hit the gas pedal to when the transmission actually engages. There have been times when I hit the gas to get through an intersection and the car has lost power and the transmission was delayed at least 2-5 seconds engaging; almost resulting in multiple accidents.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that he noticed the ESC 4-WD warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic stated that the powertrain transfer unit (PTU) assembly had failed with code: (C14A7-97) and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 157,715.

Service shifter warning comes on and locks so you can't see your display possible transmission emergency if car shifts while at high speeds

Car would not start I bought a battery and 2 days later car was completely dead. No power would not charge. Took it to a shop it had no starter or alternator issues. The car will just turn off at anytime even will driving. There is no power and then just open hood and it will start back up sometimes.

Based on the findings of road side assistance, due to water intrusion from heavy rains my emergency parking brake is now malfunctioning. It will not turn off when it is pressed in conjunction with the brake pedal. The light simply blinks and stops the car from moving when in the drive position.

At highway speed, transmission disengaged and car was forced to be stopped on road with no shoulder in an attempt to restart and continue to nearest off-ramp. Had no warning lights prior to failure and suddenly said “transmission overheating” when unit failed. Has not been driveable since.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that upon entering her vehicle, there was an abnormal mildew odor inside the vehicle. The contact stated that while cleaning her vehicle she noticed mold on the front and rear passenger’s side carpet. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where they confirmed that mold had formed inside the vehicle. The contact was provided an estimate for the repair. Upon investigation, the contact discovered several articles online related to the issue. The information stated that the firewall was not completed during the manufacturing process; therefore, the vehicle was susceptible to mold forming inside the vehicle. The contact informed the dealer of her findings and was informed that they would look into her findings. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed her that the warranty had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated the vehicle would not start or drive while in the 4WD mode. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle in 2WD mode, the four-wheel drive message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic and local dealer who both confirmed that the transfer case was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 61,000.

My trailhawk service 4 wheel drive light is on and the dealership says that it is going to cost me $3500 dollars. I first took my truck to a transmission shop and they ran a diagnostic test and it came back that it was a recall for a PTU. Power transfer unit. Recall #W47 and 2ov343. But when I took it to the dealership they said I don't have any recalls on my truck. Please help me, I can't afford to pay for the work that needs to be done. And they are saying that they don't have loner cars anymore just rental cars for $40 a day. I don't have any way to get to work.

PTU replace with only 63,000 miles? Noticed lite on dash Service 4WD Recently had rear differential asy Drivers rear cv shaft Why all these issues Is my car on recall list if not it certainly should br

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the message 4-WD Service Required was displayed. The contact diagnosed the vehicle and retrieved a trouble code regarding and obstructed power transfer unit (PTU). The contact associated the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included. The dealer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000. The consumer stated there is a drive train warranty and the vehicle will be repaired by Cowboy Dodge in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The transmission failed at highway speed, there was no acceleration. when traffic slowed it did not down shift allowing acceleration. Safety is at risk for obvious reasons when you cannot get up to speed on a free way or when you get off the free way and cannot accelerate at a light. The problem has reoccurred again yesterday while on the freeway. The car has not been inspected yet. There was a yellow light that came on and a message that stated Transmission Needs Serviced.

Power transfer unit (PTU) failed on our 2016 Jeep Cherokee at 59,000 miles. Vehicle has never been off-roading or abused. NHTSA has previously issued recalls for Cherokee PTUs but they were VIN specific (recalls 20V343 and 20E037 or W47 and W48). NHTSA states that "The power transfer unit (PTU), an important element of the optional all-wheel-drive system in affected vehicles may not be able to maintain a connection between the transmission and the front wheels. If the PTU fails to engage with the transmission, the Cherokee could lose all power while being driven. Also, a failure to engage could keep the vehicle from being put into park when stationary, allowing it to roll away. Either situation could result in a crash or injuries." I argue that the PTU defect previously identified is much larger than the small number of VINs repaired, and probably extends to most of the Cherokee line. If you search the internet for the FCA failure diagnostic of "C14A7-97 PTU blocked or obstructed" you will find many, MANY, reports by Cherokee owners who do not have one of the handful of lucky VINs. This is clearly a larger issue than previously suspected and a $3500-$4000 repair for the owner. Driveline components should be expected to last longer than 60k miles without catastrophic failures.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the electronic parking brake engaged and the contact pulled over. The parking brake warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the tires had locked up and the electronic parking brake needed to be replaced. The parts were not available and the vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated the failure was related to NHTSA Action Number: PE22009 (Parking Brake). The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the parking brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the parking brake module had sustained water damage and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 110,400.

Car has been having issues shifting gears when going uphill/downhill for a few months, only 88k miles never wrecked, during drive a "Service shifter" alert came on and all drive/park/reverse lights lit up, screen could not be removed, car repeatedly had issues getting rpms while pressing gas. Took to a repair shop and they claimed it needed a transmission liquid flush or brake rotors but neither issues coorelate. This seems to be a frequent issue going on with other jeeps. Problem fixed itself after stopping and turning off car and turning back on but still has issues getting stuck in certain gears.

I have owned my 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited for a little over two years. I have had it to a dealership twice now for the service shifter light coming on. The first time it was covered under warranty, the second time it was covered by the dealership because it was only a couple months later. It is now coming back on again and the dealership said that if it happened again I would have to pay for it the next time.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle was stopped however, the odometer remained operational providing incorrect vehicle information. The contact stated that while accelerating the speedometer kept running and would not stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the mechanic stated that vehicle was experiencing the failure listed in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 75,000.

2 separate incidents today. While driving down a two lane highway traffic came to a stop . I hit the gas to resume driving but the engine revved and the car didn’t move. I realized the emergency brake light was on showing the brake was engaged. After coasting downhill. I bet the gas to maintain speed but the car jerked and engine revved. I looked at the Peking brake and saw that the emergency brake light was on on the dash and the brake had self engaged again.

I brought in my vehicle for the power train update recall and it triggered my shifter light to come on which now they are saying is the shifter bezel and harness and I have to pay out of pocket for. It was not on prior to the recall software update for the power train

Drove car a few minutes and while accelerating the vehicle slowly stopped and all the electrical warning signals went off simultaneously. I was able to push down on the gas pedal, but my car would not accelerate, nor did it sound like engine was running. Car would not power off, but would not move in reverse or drive. Every possible vehicle warning light flashed on the dash, all 5 lights lit up on the gear shifter at the same time, and the windshield wipers turned on even though they were turned off. I have a video of this. Power locks would not lock or unlock car. Power windows would not roll up or down. My media screen flashed an error message. State patrol and our local police department had stop traffic to safely move my car off the roadway to a safe location. My car was towed and the battery had to be disconnected, so vehicle would power off.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while his daughter was starting the vehicle, the gear shifter was shifted to drive(D) however, the intended gear was not recognized and the vehicle was unable to drive forward. Additionally, the vehicle experienced an unintentional rollaway and the contact's daughter applied the parking brake to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the power transfer unit (PTU) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the independent mechanic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

The SVC 4WD (service 4WD drive ) light came on in my 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The Jeep dealership performed diagnosis and the drivetrain control module (DTCM) stored C14A7-97-PUT motor and the component or system operation is obstructed or blocked. They attempted to update the software of the DTCM and it is up to date. The condition persists and their further testing indicates that the internal power transfer unit (PTU) has failed and the vehicle is stuck in 4WD. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than the local jeep dealership, which was on 8/12/2022. The warning message began the week of August 1st and I scheduled the first available service appointment. After some initial research, Jeep had a recall of the PTU for my model year back in 2020. For 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokees where the PTU has not been previously replaced, the auto maker’s recall number is W47 and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)’s recall campaign number is 20V343. However, when I checked my VIN number, it stated that I had 0 outstanding recalls against it. It is my understanding that if the power transfer unit (PTU) fails to engage with the transmission, the Cherokee could lose all power while being driven which could result in a crash or injuries.

While I was at a stand still at a railroad crossing, the rear windshield shattered independently without impact. I did not see any warning lights prior to the incident. I had called the police department and filed a police report as I did not know what happened at the time. No one was injured nor needed medical attention. I was able to drive the 2 minutes home. I had hired an independent mechanic, Safelite, to come to my house and fix the windshield. As he was fixing it he made me aware that my rear defroster on the windshield had overheated and burned the cables which had caused the failure. My grandfather contacted the local dealership and made them aware of the failure. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure.

January 4, 2022 I was in and accident. My vehicle was in the repair shop for 90 days. The car was repaired and was in good working order. The other person involved in this accident was a 17 year old female. She was not injured.’ On 4/12/22 I took a trip, stopped for gas, attempted to make a left turn in the station but the car malfunctioned ( like a standard transmission) and ran over the center divider. I filled the tank and no problems afterwards. May 31, 2022 as I approached A left turn the car malfunction, (bucked like a stick shift.) I was struck by another vehicle, my car was hit with such force it overturned, spun around the opposite direction and struck a pole. However, it was not a head on collision because my vehicle had no front damage. The airbags deplored and I had serious injuries and a concussion. According to bystanders, the other vehicle speed was approximately 50 miles per hour; the speed limit on this roadway is 35 MPH. It is a dangerous rode with many fatalities this year. The driver in this accident was an 18 year old male. He was not injured. There are no traffic signals for more than one mile. It is a heavily traveled rode and the on and off ramps to I95. I have complained many times to our 911 operator about people speeding, running the red light and stop signs.

1. UNKNOWN component/system failure. It is available for inspection on request. 2. My vehicle will randomly flash an error message while driving "Shift to park and then select desired gear." As this error message is displayed, the engine stops while driving. The car is seemingly forced into neutral. Sometimes it will start again immediately. Sometimes it takes several minutes. It happens completely randomly. It is incredibly dangerous, especially when driving on the highway. I have been lucky that no one has crashed into me yet. 3. I have not had my own vehicle checked for this issues as I am not confident that the solution will be found. I have found hundreds of other Jeep owners (various years/models) in online forums complaining about the same issue. The dealerships and service centers have not been able to find a fix, or even identify what the problem is. 4. No 5. Warning message reads something like: "Shift to park and then select desired gear." This has been appearing randomly while driving. This is an obvious issue with the Jeeps that I am certain Chrysler must be aware of. I have spent a lot of money on this car, and I am terrified to drive my young children to daycare. I am terrified to drive to work. I need this issue investigated, and I need a resolution. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Jeep owners need a resolution.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Service 4-Wheel Drive message displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with powertrain transfer unit (PTU) actuator failure. The dealer informed the contact that the PTU actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

Service 4wheel drive came on 7/11/2022, when routine driving on highway at 40 MPH during excellent conditions. Phoned dealer 7/15/2022 to schedule for recall U90 for the catalyst efficiency and to have the vehicle scanned for the service light. 7/26/22 dealer informed active code C14A7-97 PTU Motor component or system operation obstructed or blocked, they cleared the code, it came back on, they check fluid level in ptu, it was within specs, found star case S1721000016 referring to the splines on the ptu unit to fray and not function. Recommended to replace ptu unit before winter. Found recall #21-017-21 for PTU broken input spline. Recall states malfunction indicator light (our service 4wheel drive came on) grinding noise coming from under vehicle while driving (this is notated on the service invoice from dealer. ) Although, code is different from what is listed for #21-017-21, our vehicle was built during the time frame indicated on the recall (April 2016) and is a 75th anniversary edition Cherokee, also listed on the #21-017-21 recall. Vehicle only has 37,689 miles on it and has never been taken off road nor has any other mode, but Auto been used for driving. Cost of replacement out of our pocket was to be $3100.00, after speaking with dealer and indicating this was our 3rd new Chrysler vehicle bought from them, they assumed responsibility for half the cost, see attached receipt where out of pocket for us was $1500.00, plus the $120.00 cost to scan for the issue. We would like consideration for a refund of the $1620.00 out of pocket we spent on this vehicle that we feel this issue should have been part of a recall. Please see note from invoice that metal shavings were found in the splines of the ptu. Safety of this vehicle in a needed 4x4 situation would have been compromised had the unit not been replaced.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving 70 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and decelerated to 40 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the B1S2 camshaft sensor was replaced however, the failure persisted. The contact stated the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 97,254.

2016 Jeep Cherokee TrailHawk 80k miles PTO failed in 10/22 had extended Warranty but not through Jeep @ cost $4k. Now with 89k it’s going out again. What can I do

The Power Control Unit of the full time four drive unit is defective and has caused warning lights that made the car unsafe to drive. There is current safety recall by NHTSA 20V343 that applies to 2014-2017 jeep Cherokee that applies to my car but does not shows up on the Jeep data base. Please advise. Thank you

PTU Power transition unit, many jeeps have same issue over 2,600. Jeep won’t stay in park. Can roll down drive way. I lost power when turning into intersection almost got into accident with children.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the message Service Shifter was displayed. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for a routine oil change, she notified the dealer of the warning message. The dealer informed the contact that it was a known failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Went out to the vehicle in the morning, inserted the key in the ignition, turned the key to start the vehicle and the battery exploded.

At approx. 49,000 miles I brought my Jeep to an authorized dealership to inspect hard shifts/skips in the transmission shifting. Dealership was unable to reproduce issue. At approx. 59,000 my vehicle was fully repaired and guaranteed from an authorized collision center (passenger side impact) when the transmission light began to illuminate. The same dealership cleared these codes without diagnosis for the issue. At approx. 71,000 the 4WD light illuminated and the dealership replaced the PTU, indicating it was "unresponsive" yet not due to collision. Days after this repair the module that communicates connection between my vehicle and the starter/alternator has gone out "inexplicably" I believe my model has faulty electrical components similar to the recalled models and I would like to raise complaints everywhere and anywhere that my issue is relevant.

I've been told I have a PTU failure. (Code: C14A7-9T) My "SVC 4WD" light comes on, Apparently this is an extremely common issue... I'm out of warranty (approximately 97,000 miles) but it is potentially a very dangerous condition, requiring replacement of the entire PTU. (+$3800) I've had this confirmed by an independent shop and confirmed the code with a dealer.

4WD service light on. Diagnostic and servicing reveals blocked PTU. There is a recall for it, but it’s VIN specific and my Jeep is not covered.

2016 cherokee Limited 4WD - large warning flashing on and off “4WD unavailable service required” on the screen followed by small warning light “SVC 4W Drive “ that stays consistent while driving. Car started to have less pull when accelerating and tires were not gripping nor had same traction as normal. At first it didn’t seem anything was wrong, but at higher speeds, especially on turn or going ip hill more noticeable on dirt or rain, the tires are heard spinning as the car made an effort to accelerate at its normal power. Within a few days, i got a an appointment for a diagnostic with a certified jeep dealer and they confirm a problem with a faulty power transfer unit. They said it would cost $3600 to fix. Tne diagnostic was $190 The warning light turns on within 3 to 5 minutes of driving and at first it would go off but now stays on. I am not able to accelerate without slowing down significantly when i need to during highway speeds and can’t make turns without worrying it will skid or going a different direction, so I have to keep a strong grip on the steering wheel to have control. I have not repaired it due to the excessive cost. This jeep has been very well taken care of. I am the second owner and It only has a little over 60k miles in 6 yrs. A jeep Cherokee limited 4W Drive is built for rigor and better for this to happen on 60k miles. Currently my vehicle had no recalls and find no records of the PTU - or any part of the powertrain being replaced as of today. I love my Jeep and this is disappointing, but more shocked by this malfunction.

On 9/14/21 was driving on highway and car started having a loud noise and brought car to Five Star Jeep in Macon GA. The PTO Unit was broken and I had to have it repaired there - that took 1 month. A second time on 5/5/22, when driving the car on a main road it started making a loud noise again and I was unable to steer or drive the car. Pulled off onto the shoulder and waited for AAA to come and tow vehicle to Jeep dealership. Luckily I was at a light when this happened or I could have hit a person or other car or they could have hot me. Car was towed to Paulding County GA Jeep dealership who confirmed it was the PTU failure and rear diff feels like its binding up from PTU failure while driving. I am dealing with Joseph Drupiewski at Paulding Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 1245 Old Griffin Rd, Dallas, GA 30157, (770) 406-6926. His cell is 770-599-7541. This is the 2nd time this has happened. I have read online that there is a recall for this on Jeeps. NHTSA campaign numbers: The recall for the 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokee is 20V343. FCA’s own number for this recall is W47. The recall for the PTUs sold for use in Jeep Cherokees is 20E037, and FCA’s own number for this is W48. There were sporadic warning messages on the car which would say "4 Wheel drive overheated, temporarily unavailable". I never used 4 wheel drive. It was popping on and off over a few days,

No messages were displayed when any issues occured. The back hatch stops working randomly. Whether your trying to open or close the back hatch, it will not operate by any of the interior push buttons or by using the key fob. I have to manually pull the hatch open &/or closed. I had a technician see this happen as well. I've had numerous times where my Jeep will be shifting & it lags a little bit and then causes a loud bang & jolt when it shifts to the next gear. I only drive approximately 6,000 miles/year. Any resolution to these issues would be greatly appreciated, Amy

Our jeep started displaying and error stating "vehicle needs to be stopped to shift" and after this error would display the engine would cut off. We took it to the dealership and we were told that the shifter bezel needed to be replaced. It was replaced in March. We we driving our car again on 5/8/22 and error code said "service shifter now" so we went back to the dealership and they are saying the shifter needs replaced a second time.

PTU has failed. Dealer says 3k replacement cost. My contention is current recall is not broad enough if other Jeep products have same issue. It should be expanded to include all PTUs with same defect.

Some times when starting from full stop vechile losses power . believe drivetrain failure. Have no conyrol until it reingauges usually less than a minute.if I had to get out of the way of something that would be dange r ous .It happens about once or twice a month.

Car drives when it wants, stops when it wants, all lights on dash come on

See my attachment for full details - PTU was malfunctioning on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee and while my VIN did not have a recall, the part, year, make and model of vehicle all matched.

Excessive oil consumption causing hesitation and stalls in traffic. Consumption is approximately 1.5qt. per 1000 mies

The contact's granddaughter owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while his granddaughter was at a stand still at a railroad crossing, the rear windshield shattered independently without impact. The contact stated he was not aware of any warning light was illuminated. The driver called the police department and filed a police report. The contact stated no one was injured nor seek medical attention. The driver was able to continue to drive to her residence. The contact spoke to the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The contact stated an independent mechanic came to her residence and informed the rear defroster on the windshield overheated and burned the cables which caused the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000.

The "Service Shifter" warning came on and the transmission started slipping. If the transmission goes out while myself or kids are on the highway it not only could endanger us, but others as well. I have had this looked at by an independent shop and all it says that there is a bulletin on it.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact initially called the dealer and was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the thermostat sensor was defective. The contact was provided an estimate and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,053.

This Jeep has stalled while on the road several times, more than once almost causing an accident. I have finally figured out that the engine uses more oil than a normal engine should, it does not inform the driver of low oil, and shuts off once the oil is below a certain point. This vehicle is extremely dangerous to be on any road and likely already caused numerous accidents. Please do something!!!!!

Had an issue with my PTU that required to be replaced after finding "internal debris" which started with my 4WD Drive light came on. I feel this could fit under an active recall since my 1) Make (Jeep), 2) Model (Cherokee) 3) Year (2016) and 4) Part (PTU) including recall W47 (campaign 20V343) and W48 (campaign 20E037).

All of a sudden you are driving and the vehicle wants to shut off like it's getting gas got cut off and it will Buck back and forth like a transmission issue Then all of a Sudden it kicked back in and you continue to drive as Normal but if you're at a stop and you go to take off it could be very dangerous if it stalls out on you

My emergency parking brake was stuck on (I never turned it on) and I was unable to move my car. It was towed to Brown's Jeep and was determined their was a leak in the power liftgate that corroded the module. There were recalls for 2015 Jeep Cherokees for the same reason but Jeep claims this is not due to a recall. I asked how I can avoid this in the future and was told this won't happen again. Appears not to be a "normal wear and tear" issue.

Meticulously maintained vehicle, had PTU failure at 112,000 miles. No warning lights, started getting loud hum and immediately got in for service.

The transmission began making grinding noises and was losing power. Dealer informed me today it is the ptu that needs replaced at a cost of $4000

Known service bulletin by Jeep. Service bulletin number 08-060-16. The parking brake module wiring harness connection can get terminal corrosion through faulty seals in the Jeep aka “water intrusion”. Water intrusion can get into the parking brake module wiring harness and cause a malfunction of the electronic parking brake. Brake will deploy randomly while vehicle is in motion or parked. No current recalls on this service bulletin. Apparently can also lead to fires in the rear cargo area. My parking brake deployed while driving. My parking brake deployed when shifting the car into park rendering it immobile. Well documented issue throughout the Jeep Cherokee community.

The svc 4wd light would come on mostly in the cold weather then would go away. every time we had maintenance and mentioned it to the dealership we were told if it was not on while in the shop they could not do anything for it. I was driving and making a left hand turn when the svc 4wd and check engine light came on and the drive train lost power. I was luckily going down hill so I was able to coast and pull over.The engine and the electronics was still in but would not drive. After pulling over I turned the car off and back on and the car worked ok. We had an appointment for the dealer and we were informed the PTU needed to be replaced. Upon looking it up online this part has been recalled on the same make model and year as my vehicle but not my specific vin #.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BROKEN CONTROL ARM BOLT.

Took Jeep in for recalls in 2021 for Powertrain software update (TCM module and PCM module) & and safety recall in regards to PTU. Received a call from my mechanic today in regards to issues regarding codes for these things. I had noticed that since I had took my car in a year ago my Jeep just did not seem the same. Never thought anything of it until I needed my brakes changed now and wanted someone else who I actually could trust to take a look.

This has happened the past two weeks. I will go to accelerate my vehicle and an error message will pop up saying "in order to shift to desired gear you must be in park" or "shift to park then desired gear" and the check engine light, battery light, a lightening bolt red light and the electrical stability control light comes on. My car has shut off on me three times while driving it, once down the road from my home and had to be jumped off just to make it back home, then I was stranded in the middle of a busy intersection and had to have the local police push my vehicle to a near by parking lot and then I was leaving work and all the lights came on so I pulled into Mavis Tire and had a tech come check it out. As my car was in park and at 0mph my car was stuck in 1st gear which is shown in the pictures attached. I was told to take it to the dealership and the local one here in Newnan Georgia is absolutely the worst. No one would answer the phone and when I finally got someone on the phone they told me I would have to drop my car off and that it would be a week before they could get to it. I am scared to keep driving the vehicle knowing at any moment it could shut off on me while driving it.

Car will slow down, steering wheel will lock, and message "Shift to P then Shift to desired gear" will pop up. Car will take a minute to start up again and problem reoccurs.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road but he could not park as the gear shifter would not move. The contact waited until the vehicle came to a complete stop. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle, however the failure reoccurred twice while driving. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the service shifter had failed. The warning message "service shifter" had remained illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure was a known defect .The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the VIN was not included in a recall related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000

Driving down the highway the service shifter just pops up

Bolts broke off of the ptu on my current 2016 jeep Cherokee trail hawk. Extremely unsafe to drive. Dealer I will to do the repairs because and I quote “ is not on the recall batch for the issues listed” please keep in mind I’ve done the necessary research and the extent of the repairs needed falls exactly with the recall placed in on 06/2020. Please your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Service shifter light continues to come on

I was driving home doing 65/70 when my dash lights came on, all of the shifter lights came on, and a service light started beeping to service the shifter. Leaving me stranded without a car. $600 for the parts plus labor and fees, I was able to get a new shifter replaced, and I am hoping this never happens again!

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact noticed that the service four-wheel drive warning light was illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the power transfer unit needed to be replaced. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train). The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

Brake line on front passenger brake area split open without signs of other damage or cause per mechanic - all brake fluid leaked out, brakes did not function. no accident occurred as a result, but near miss incident occurred. The mechanic repaired this and the other front brake line (driver's side), but advised that I file a report as manufacturer would not take any additional information or concern. No warning lights went off, and no other alarm components sounded or created a visual alert - incident was somewhat immediate - meaning that it occurred within 5 mins. The brakes were working, then without accident or any causes of jarring or harm to the underside of the vehicle, the brakes suddenly stopped working - brake pedal went all the way to the floor without stopping the vehicle. Mechanic inspected all areas of the brake system, and could not find any other signs of damage or reasons for the brake line splitting. He concluded that it was a manufacturer defect. No cause for police or insurance intervention thus far. Brake line that split is available for inspection - I retained the brake line from the mechanic as he suggested.

Driver side and back side metal panels under mat water leakage.danger.

The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system is locked in engaged mode and I am unable to release the EPB causing the car to be immobilized.

I purchased this jeep in 2018, the service shifter light came on the car shutdown in the middle of the road while my daughter was driving she was able to get into a parking lot. We had the bezel and wiring harness replaced in January 2019, right after this happened. I now have the jeep and the shifter service light will randomly come on along with the service transmission light. When this happens the transmission will not engage and I have to make my way to the side of the road and put it in park and then the transmission will engage again.

I purchased my 2016 Jeep Cherokee in 2018 and within 3 months my service shifter light came on. I had it fixed by the dealership. 6 months later it happened again and I was told it was most likely a faulty part used the first time. Since then I have had the shifter console and wiring inside replaced a total of 4 more times, luckily up until this point was covered under my extended warranty. However my warranty expires in January of 2022 and the service shift light just came on again for what will now be the 7th time. Once my warranty is over, I will not be able to cover the $500 each time twice a year to have it fixed. I have seem dozens and dozens of people report on this issue and nothing has been done. It has also caused my transmission to slip or multiple occasions as well as hesitate when accelerating.

service shifter light went on and off for about a month. then one day went over a speed bump. and ever since then the message doesnt go away. ive cleared the codes had it flashed change fuses. and nothing. EVeryone has the same complaints about it and jeep dealerships dont take it serious. its a problem when i can see the speedometer or fuel range. or any other lights or warnings becuase that message wont go away.

i was driving my son to school one day about 2 months ago maybe longer and all of a sudden out of no where the car shuts off saying low oil pressure. i changed out the sensor. thinking that would fix the problem. well that sure isnt the case. i burn a quart of oil 3rd or 4rh day of the week evey week taken it in no can find the problem. now i see there a recall say needs a pcm up date. maybe it it fix the problem. probaly not. i think jeep really needs to go over the jeep engines with a pick and comb and find these problems its scary drivong i am so affraid iam am going to be an a realy bad accident one day. my car always shutting off while driving iys not fun. its even worse when i jqve my child in the back seat and is helpless because he straped up in a car seat. part 2 if i fill my jeep up.with a full tank of gas it stalls and shuts of in the middle of traffic driving. or sitting at a stop light this happens every time i full my car up si no i dont fill it up because it like to shut off. so it getting to the point i want to set it of fire and roll it down a hill!! (kidding i would never do that!!)

Jeep has a system in the vehicle through Mopar that allows the owner to use an app to remote start the vehicle, track where the vehicle is located, track maintenance issues. This system also allows the driver to talk to text which is a safety feature of the vehicle. Cellular providers are no longer going to support the 3G chip in the vehicle and Jeep states they are unable to update a single chip in the vehicle hence disabling this safety feature. This is a HUGE concern.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 50 MPH, the vehicle began to rigorously vibrate while the 4-wheel drive warning light flashed on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was initially diagnosed with a defective drive shaft unit which was repaired; however, upon a test drive, the failure persisted. The mechanic then discovered that the PTU (Power Transfer Unit) was the cause of the failure. The contact then discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train) which he linked to the failure. The manufacturer was then notified of the failure and informed him that his vehicle was not included in the recall. The contact filed a case with the manufacturer. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 42,300.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the service 4-wheel drive warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the PTU (Power Transfer Unit) replaced however, 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 informed of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was 108,041.

Transmission problems that happen about twice a year. With no warning the transmission service will appear and the car will abruptly slow to a speed of 35 or less no matter how fast you are moving. On the turnpike one time it went from 70mph to 35 and luckily no one was behind me. Every time this happens I am told something different for what is wrong.

4wheel drive light came on. Said it was a power transfer unit problem. It has been recalled but doesn’t show for my car. It will cost me o ver $2000 and it has been recalled. I need help to have this repair covered.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle lost motive power. A bystander checked underneath the vehicle while the gear shifter was in PARK, but the vehicle rolled backward. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with power transfer unit (PTU) failure. The dealer replaced the PTU. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was 88,245.

Around 35-45 MPH it shifts hard. After it shifts hard it acts like there is no power when hitting the accelerator. This incident only happens every so often not every time it hits 35-45 MPH. Has been taken to dealership to diagnose and they can’t re create the issue so we are always sent on our way. The vehicle has over 100,000 miles on it so I assume it’s not the adaptive learning for the transmission. The shifting problem also throws no codes. The fluid is fine and no metal in the fluid. I do not know what to do. I have read where thousands of people have this issue with the Cherokee and have gone to lengths of replacing the transmission or having it rebuilt and the issues still persist.

This car has been stopping in the middle of the road basically since I got it. I bring it in and it breaks down over and over. Most recently in front of my house on a very busy street with 18 wheelers. I do not feel safe in this vehicle.

Transfer case is not working it says blockage I see alot of of recalls for this piece and I want want to report it for my car as faulty aswell. also now the timing change has to be replaced. This jeep has had multiple issues going on since I have had it for almost 3 years it will be three years in Feb 2022

Vehicle has slowly been loosing power since I purchased it in 2018, but over the past 2 months it's sluggish and when I press the accelerator, it hesitates then takes off and the tachometer gets stuck until I let off the gas then push the accelerator again. Also when I'm in stop and go traffic, when I accelerate, it starts jerking and feel like the engine is going to die, but if I give it a little more gas, it stops, until I have to come to a stop again. It's unsettling to hear the engine race the way it does. I feel it's a safety issue because the way it jerks when I'm trying to get the tachometer to stop racing. There's been no warning lights and nothing has been confirmed by the dealership, however, I recently received a recall notice and have contacted the dealer for an appointment. I'm waiting on a return call but don't know what the recall is related to.

Service shifter light will come on when I ship from PRND and sometimes like when I am in a car wash in Nuetral I can't get it to shift

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the service 4X4 warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the power transfer unit (PTU) assembly to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 41,841.

My service 4x4 light would come on then off, then on again. Was brought to the dealership, in which I was informed that my PTU is bad and needs to be replaced ($2800 plus to fix). There is a recall on the PTU for the year of my Jeep, but not my VIN. My vehicle has only 41,841 miles on it. I called the NHTSA hotline and was given an ODI#11439663 to open the investigation. Also had called the Jeep Hotline #800-992-1997, in which were no help on this issue.

*SERVICE SHIFTER POP UP* I've had my 2016 Jeep Cherokee for about 4 years and every few months it pops up with SERVICE SHIFTER on my dash and the shifter lights up. I have talked to my local Jeep dealership, where I purchased this vehicle, and they brushed it off. After reading forums, this can be a HUGE safety hazard and could cause an accident or even worse, kill somebody!! Jeep should be held responsible and this should be considered a recall because alot of people have complained about this SERVICE SHIFTER popup. At times, I am scared to drive my vehicle after these episodes happen because I fear I am going to get into a car accident.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was unable to veer to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the power transfer unit had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that they could not assist because the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train). The manufacturer also referred the contact to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

My parking brake doesnt want to disingauge. Was parked for 3 days and rain season just started in california. Big safety issue. Never had a problem with my brake system till now. Im gonna have to miss work now,i do not have any transportation to get to work,i was reliaing on my jeep but i dont know whats gonna happen, maybe someone can look into this issue or give me a clue of what to due. STRONGLY SUGGEST ALL JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS TO ALSO SPEAK UP AS THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN CAUSE A BIG ACCIDENT!!!

There is a SVC 4WD light on the dash. Upon reviewing the user manual, the SVC 4WD light is not referenced in the manual at all. There is apparently no maintenance or service intervals required for the user (owner). I took the Jeep to the Chrysler Jeep Dealer in Somerset KY, and learned it has a DTC C14A7-97 PTU issue. It appears the manufacturer is aware of the issue as there were previous recalls specific to the 2014 - 2017 Jeeps with a faulty PTU assembly. However, only certain VIN numbers were included. The issue is according to previous posts regarding the SVC 4WD light, as a chronic Chrysler issue indicating the PTU fails to engage with the transmission (hence the light) and the Cherokee could lose all power while being driven. Also, failure to engage could keep the vehicle from being put into park when stationary allowing the vehicle to roll away. The problem was between 2014 and 2017 Jeeps. From my perspective, I am totally blown away my particular 2016 VIN was not included in the recall when 17 models were still having the same issue. None the less, Jeep Chrysler said they issued a Star Online Publication on June 11, 2020. The publication indicates for the technician to uninstall the PTU assemble including the actuator, determine if there is debris or damage found in the PTU. Resolution, if no debris or damage found, replace the actuator and reinstall the original PTU. This indicates to me, they are aware they have at least an issue with the actuator. If there is debris, replace both the actuator and the PTU. The dealer tells me depending on the problem, this can run up to 2000 dollars out of pocket to the owner, however the owner can submit receipts for reimbursement. If it is indeed a Jeep safety issue relating to the PTU, why is the customer out of pocket on it? Again there is no interval of maintenance required on the owner, so why isn't Jeep taking care of it? Ali, Customer Care Rep explained to me you control. Can you help? TY

PTU Failure. Took vehicle to Jeep dealer. I was told that although there was a recall on the PTU for 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokees, my VIN was not included.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the dashboard was separating from the body of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be inspected. The dealer informed the contact that the dashboard was either separating due to not having enough glue, or the glue that was used for the dashboard had not cured properly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the Service Shifter message and the gear shift lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. Several fuses were replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and needed a wiring harness kit replacement. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 46,800.

Unable to pump window fluid onto window, to remove road oil from window, do to the window washer fluid Reservoir, that has separated along the seam, at the bottom of the Reservoir. I STRONGLY believe this is a defect, since there was no accident, or anything else, to cause it to separated at the seam, at the bottom of the Reservoir. This is a MAJOR safety issue, when getting hit with very dirty/oily water and unable to immediately clean/clear the windshield, do to the window washer fluid Reservoir separating at the bottom, right at the seam. I STRONGLY believe this is a defect, for it's young age.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would stall upon depression of the accelerator pedal. The contact also stated that an unknown transmission warning light appeared on the instrument panel. The contact called the dealer where she purchased the vehicle but was placed on an extended hold. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000.

Warning light to fix 4x4..... Difficulty finding problem at dealer, required new PTU actuator and dealer had much difficulty getting part into place. Cost approximately $ 1500.

Transmission is failing to function properly. Between gears 1-2, 2-3. I have noticed this when the ESS for the vehicle is engaged, during slow moving traffic, uphill and in reverse. The vehicle is sluggish, won't go forward when given gas, then surges. This has caused issues for my family when crossing busy intersections or coming to slow moving traffic or having to get up to speed adequately. There has been hesitation in the transmission which creates hesitation on the road, resulting in many "almost accidents." I am booking an appointment to have the vehicle inspected by a Jeep dealer. I've contacted the original dealer I've purchased from and they said there was nothing they could do. I have not seen any warning lights, messages or flashes come through on the dash/vehicle. I will be hooking it up to a code reader to determine if there is an underlying code. I have only had this vehicle for two weeks.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the 4-Wheel drive warning light had illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer and diagnosed with a defective power transfer unit. The dealer also informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed that contact that recalls were VIN specific and that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

My 2016 Jeep Cherokee was RANDOMLY coming up with "Service Shifter" warning light. The dealers tell me they "can't replicate the problem" even though it still happens and THOUSANDS online complain about the same issue. If this is a serious shifter issue, it could cause problems driving. I have figured out that if I cover the sunlight sensor on the dashboard when the lights are set to auto (effectively keeping the interior lights dimmer) I can drive without the warning coming up. Within SECONDS of uncovering it, the interior lights brighten and the "Service Shifter" warning comes on instantly. THAT is why I think it's electrical. The fact that Jeep is shrugging it's shoulders and doesn't acknowledge a problem is absolutely disgusting!

My Jeep Power Transfer Unit (PTU) failed in less than 73000 miles. FCA recalled 67000 Jeep Cherokee for bad PTU. FCA said my vehicle was not under recall category. But FCA do have problem with thousands of PTU and my Jeep must have the same kind of bad PTU.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle would shut off while driving at various speeds without warning. The contact also stated that the vehicle would start up and shut off independently without warning. Additionally, while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle began to shake uncontrollably without warning as the contact lost control of the vehicle. The contact was able to pull over and shut off the vehicle. After multiple attempts, the contact was able to restart the vehicle and resume normal driving. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer and an independent mechanic and both were unable to diagnose the failure since no warning lights had appeared on the instrument panel. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

My 2016 Jeep Cherokee with 42100 miles on it locked up much like a brake locking up. The auto park brake feature is always applied when parked and has always worked fine until now. My wife was pulling out of the garage had just started to back up and the Jeep would not move. I was in the house she came inside and told me her issue with the Jeep. I went out and tried it, and had the same issue. I put it in reverse and tried to give it some more gas.. Jeep lurched some like the brakes were locked. Had no brake light though. I turned the engine off and restarted, made sure the brake light was out.. same thing.. I gave it more gas this time and something gave. I took it for a 30 mile drive.. it was on a Sunday, no shops open to talk to about it. On the 30 mile drive I had no issues even after stopping and restarting several times. Monday I called the service department where we purchased the Jeep. They said a two month wait to get it in. I called another dealer he said he could look at it but if it has no issues for me and he had no issues nothing he could do. So now my wife who is suppose to drive 350 miles to watch some of our Grandkids for a month while our Daughter is recovering from surgery is afraid to drive her Jeep. If I drive it and it has issues while she is out of town leaving me stranded on the side of the road.. It will be a big hassle. I do have the MOPAR extended lifetime warranty.. but if they cannot duplicate the issue at a service department they can't fix it.. what to do?

Warning to “Service Shifter”. Dealer said it needed new parts due to faulty wiring component. Internet/social media reports 100s of similar circumstances. Dealer said parts not covered by Jeep. Earlier years (2014-2015) and 2017 have recalls, but not 2016. Vehicle is only 5 years old and it’s extremely unclear why 2016 is not included in recalls.

I purchased car new on May 30, 2016. Recently, the vehicle is jerking and I am concerned for safety of passengers and others driving near me. Also, noted once it did not park properly and appeared to move It has now come to my attention that the PTU on this vehicle is recalled for some reason for only some vehicles. The dealership noted last week it requires a new PTU at $3,400 but there are no available parts for some reason. I said thats obviously because there is a very large problem. Please look into this as I am an Uber driver and now cannot afford to work as I am concerned about the safety of my passengers

I had my car parked in a public parking garage for a few hours, and it suddenly caught on fire on the backside of the car. There were no warning lights or anything like that before hand. The whole back of the car is burned and the cars on either side of me were damaged as well. The fire department had to come put the fire out. I don't know for sure, but it sure seems like it might have been the same Power Liftgate short circuit issue that the 2014-2015 Jeep Cherokees got recalled for (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2015/RCRIT-15V393-6798.pdf)

Transmission will not shift out of low gear. Especially when on a steel hill. Also, turn signals will not turn off unless I manually do so. Dealer tells me I must let them do a $125 diagnostic test, (I pay for it), then must be reviewed before they can say it’s a warranty or not. These seem to be common problems that many Cherokee owners have but never recalled.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the gear shifter error message was permanently displayed on the instrument panel. Additionally, the information from the speedometer, fuel gauge and other features were not available due to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced a gear shifter wire and bezel, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Basically the parking brake would not release and the car was un drivable. Towed to dealership . Told the ABS module failed and now requires a complete brake job- recalibrate, replace rotors and pads. At a cost of $2000+ This seems to be the same exact problem that occurred 9 months ago. At that time we replaced the tires due to the wear they incurred. That was @ about 25,000 miles. The Jeep now has about 30,000 miles. 08

shifter park.. car cuts off when car is idle.

I got into my wife's 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude to drive to the store and heading down the road the message 'Service Shifter' showed up on the instrument cluster and all the gear selectors became illuminated red with no check engine light. Upon coming out of the store I started the jeep and the message was gone until I started heading down the road and same thing happened but this time there was a noticeable decrease in engine power and engine seemed to be running ruff at stop light. When I made it home and put the shifter in park and started to exit the jeep it started to roll forward and I hit the brake. I started the jeep back up and no message or anything and I backed the jeep up some and put back into park and this time it went into gear however I activated the parking brake to safe and instructed my wife to do so as well. This is a serious issue as we have teenage kids that drive our vehicles and poses a serious safety issue not to mention it rolling into our house. I called a dealership and was told they have not heard of this issue and would be hard to diagnose since there is no check engine light but sounds like the whole shifter assembly needs to be replaced and is not covered by the extended warranty that we purchased. After reading online about this issue there appear to be ALOT of people having the same issue and have had the shifter assembly replaced, Shifter bezel and wiring harness replaced, updates performed, and batteries changed(car and key fob) and is still having this issue. This issue poses a great risk to owners and anyone else around these Jeeps especially as it seems that there is not a fix only guesses on what the problem is since it keeps happening. This should be a recall and Jeep should be made to find the real problem and fix it before anything serious happens. We have had shift problems before and had update performed. I wasn't able to get pics or video as I was driving and the rolling forward happened out nowhere.

Shifter service light came on, made an appointment with the dealer, they did a diagnostic test, said battery was bad and said he really didn't think the shifter needed replacing. The battery was replaced and about 6 weeks later, the light came on again, and after reading some forums, it looks like this is a rather common probably with jeeps, so why is this not a recall? It also seems like the problem doesn't even go away after having the shifter kit replaced.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle decelerated to 45 mph independently. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where the TCM software was reset. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,215.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while his daughter was approaching a stoplight, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond causing 3 feet stopping distance delay. The message "Service Electronic Brake System" appeared on the instrument panel and the brake warning light illuminated. The contact stated that his daughter put the vehicle in neutral and stopped the vehicle. The contact stated that as the traffic cleared, his daughter pulled into a nearby gas station and parked the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.

While turning in a busy intersection recently at night my sons Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk quit moving all at once. Nearly getting hit, my son was able to get out of the vehicle and all was avoided. It appears the transfer case part number 68282447AB was defective and broke. This part has been recalled in some Jeep vehicles. Apparently not this one and this is a very dangerous problem Jeep should make right. Now it is in the repair shop with replacement parts months backordered.

Service shifter message comes up on dashboard of vehicle. All the lights on the shifter turn red and the dashboard will not permit changing the screen message. This happened frequently in 2019 for the vehicle. Service at the dealership replaced the shifter wiring harness and bezel kit. Now the same issue is occurring with the same service message for the shifter. Dealership states the shifter bezel needs to be replaced with updated version. If this problem worsens, the vehicle could stop shifting and/or be unable to put the vehicle into park. This is a common problem for Jeep Cherokees as seen on online forums from owners.

My wife, while traveling on the interstate (I35), had a service transmission and engine light come on. The car immediately decreased in speed and performance and became undrivable at highway speeds, She had to limp to the next exit and call and wait for AAA. This was very dangerous due to highway traffic and speeds as well as her being stranded in the middle of nowhere in KS. When we got to the CDJR Dealership they said it was a common, known, issue (fault codes P0887 and C2226) and a software update was required which, by the way, is not free. So $100.45 later the car is "fixed" and we are on our way. This is a known defect (software issue), as identified by the manufacturer, which can be a safety risk to the driver and occupants and should be a no charge repair or recall in my opinion.

PTU. Jeep loses power some times when trying to accelerate and now the Service 4Wheel Drive light is on and according the the mechanic is because the PTU is failing and needs replace. I see there is a recall for Jeep Cherokees between 2014 and 2017 for PTU but I am being told that my VIN is not part of the recall however I am having the issues that are described as part of the recall.

I was at the store came out started my jeep sat there for a minute put my jeep in drive pressed the gas pulled forward out of the parking spot when my jeep stopped my dash said put in park then select gear well i was in the middle of the lane and i couldn’t press the brake or turn my wheel there was a car coming down the lane and my jeep was just sitting there not able to turn back on. finally i was able to get my jeep to turn back on and i put it in reverse and left it in the parking lot if I were to drive home and that happened there could’ve been a major accident! I’m so grateful I was not on the interstate!

I keep getting a "shifter service" when I start my vehicle and even when I stop my vehicle. I have to turn the car on and then back on sometimes twice before it will stop. This started about 3 years after I bought the car and has been getting worse every since. I feel this is a safety issue because you cannot see the odometer when driving and have know idead how fast your might be going. You do not always have a place to pull over to turn your car off and back on. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! I have read hundreds of blogs where this is happening on this jeep type from years 2014 through 2019.

The 4X4 system stop working. the driveline from the front PTU to the rear differential is rotating but the wheels are not! no indication of any failure in the dash board while driving regular road. Under load, when trying (unsuccessfully) to climb a small hill, the 4X4 system gets "heating warning and shuts down. I was advised to take off the 4X4 fuse in order to not increase the damage. Bottom line - my jeep trailhawk is now a regular 2X4 car :-(

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been noticing the car does not react when I press the gas… like there’s a delay In catching speed.., like stalling, last night the “service shifter” light came on and all the PRN&D lights are on and I’m scared for my kids and my safety.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the message "service shifter" was displayed and the gear shifter lights were illuminated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to schedule a recall repair appointment with the dealer for manufacturer customer satisfaction W84. The dealer informed the contact that she would be responsible for the cost of repair as the manufacturer's customer satisfaction W84 repair only covered the vehicle reprogramming and would not remedy the shifter failure. The manufacturer provided no further assistance and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000

I was driving on the interstate, I just got past 55 miles per hour and my “service transmission soon” notification came on. I was able to get off the interstate. After that, the vehicle completely stalled out. I put it in park and then back in drive and I was able to get home. If the vehicle would have stalled on the interstate it would have been horrible.

The shifter lights blink and turn red while at a stop light. The car would not run. I had to turn off and on again. This happened several times. Sometimes the shifter lights blink at night and the battery gets drained.

sense my Fiance bought the vehicle this vehicle has been having issues the Battery has been replace for no reason it die , than when you are driving in a parking tends to shut off or it will pull hard , the recent incident was me in the intersection and as I was turning the vehicle stop and wouldn't pick up speed and it took like 10 seconds to be able to work again and and once in a while it will pull as you are driving , the last incident was today the start /stop system give me a Orage light saying is unavailable , We bough the vehicle back in 2018 and sense than the problem has been mile , the vehicle has less than 100k miles to be working like than and sense it has been acting more and more now , I'm starting to be afraid for my safety and my kids safety . and is important to know about this issue .

My wife was involved in an accident due to the other driver making an illegal u-turn. This collision involved a front impact of her Jeep causing several thousand dollars of damage. During this accident, the airbags did not deploy as would have been expected in an accident of this nature.

Airbags failed to deploy after front end no-fault collision.

The "service shifter" warning come on. And all of the lights go on on the shifter for example Park Neutral, Drive. I had this problem a couple of years ago and the dealer replaced the shifter assembly and harness. Now the same problem is happening. After shutting off the engine the message disperses but comes back on after a few minutes. Now I'm afraid that I'll have to pay for the repair because the car has 48,000 miles on it and out of warranty. Is there a recall on this problem?

The vehicle started to stop and it was shaking, the car stopped and it wouldn't go into park.Transmission didn't work! The car wouldn't shift!

TRANS SERVICE SHIFT LIGHT. I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAIL HAWK. TODAY (5/12/2021) IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE BROUGHT MY JEEP IN FOR THIS PROBLEM. FIRST WAS ON 04/17/2019 @ 17,330 MILES. SECOND WAS ON 02/04/2020 @ 21,917 MILES. THE THIRD WAS TODAY 05/12/2021 @29,046 MILES. EVERY TIME THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE BEZEL AND THE HARNESS FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER. I KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE FROM RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS. JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OR PAY ME EVERY TIME I HAVE TO TAKE OFF OF WORK TO BRING MY VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP.

I STARTED HEARING A GRINDING/SCREECHING SOUND OCCASIONALLY THAT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL. IT WAS NOT CONSTANT AND WAS NOT NECESSARILY WHILE DOING ANY PARTICULAR THING EXCEPT DRIVING. SOMETIMES OCCURRED WHILE TURNING BUT SOMETIMES OCCURRED WHILE BEING ON ON STRAIGHT AWAY. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND LET ME KNOW THAT IT WAS THE PTU THAT WAS LEAKING FLUID AND SHARDS OF METAL. THEN I READ ONLINE ABOUT RECALL: FOR 2014-2017 JEEP CHEROKEES WHERE THE PTU HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED, THE AUTO MAKER'S RECALL NUMBER IS W47 AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA)'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 20V343. AND UNSURE WHY MY VIN # WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIT UP RED

I SAT IN MY DRIVER SEAT AND THE LATCH COMPLETELY BROKE SO NOW MY SEAT DOES NOT STAY LATCHED AND IT JUMPS UP EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO DIFFERENT LANES BY ACCIDENT AND COULD ULTIMATELY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONERY WHEN IT BROKE.

I BROUGHT JEEP TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT POWER TRANSFER UNIT HAS GONE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OTHER 2104-2017 JEEP CHEROKEES HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS UNIT BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW A RECALL IN PLACE. DID THEY PUT IN A DIFFERENT PTU IN MY CAR THAN THE OTHER 67,248 JEEPS? CAR SHIFTS I TO 2WD OR 4WD DRIVE BY ITSELF

START PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL, CAR WILL HESITATE BEFORE MOVING, THEN QUICKLY JUMPS INTO GEAR, JERKING AS IT SHIFTS INTO EACH GEAR.

I BOUGHT MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY 2016. THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM IN MYRTLE BEACH. YOU TURN THE SWITCH AND THEY WOULDN'T TURN ON. THE NEXT DAY, THEY WORKED. ONCE AGAIN I NEEDED THEM IN ANOTHER RAIN STORM, AND THEY DIDN'T WORK. I LIVE ON THE COAST OF NC AND IT RAINS OFTEN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. TOOK AGAIN A WEEK LATER, THEY REPLACED THE BCM WHICH WAS OVER $500. 6-8 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. SAME THING HAPPENED DURING A RAIN STORM. DEALERSHIP REPLACED BCM ONCE AGAIN. THEN LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, HAPPENS AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY SAID A WIRE HAD SHORTED OUT ON BCM. A WIRE WAS REPLACED. ONCE AGAIN 8 MONTHS OR SO LATER, HAPPENS AGAIN IN JULY 2020, REPLACED YET ANOTHER BCM. NOW IN APRIL OF 2021, TODAY, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN AND I'M DRIVING FROM FLORIDA BACK TO NC ON HIGHWAY 95. GOING THROUGH A RAIN STORM AND WIPERS NOT WORKING. THIS HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY FRUSTRATING. IF I MAKE IT, I'LL BE TAKING IT AGAIN TO DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND VIDEO PROOF. IF I COULD GET RID OF THIS CAR I WOULD BUT I CAN'T. SUBMITTED A PICTURE OF DRIVING IN RAIN ON 95 AND WIPER SWITCH IS SET TO HIGH.

I'VE READ MUCH ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY 2016 JEEP WITH LESS THAN 20K MILES ON IT IS GETTING A "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING MESSAGE. WHEN THIS LIGHT TURNS ON, ALL THE SHIFTER LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IT CLEARS THE FAULT ONLY TO SEE THE ERROR MESSAGE POP UP AGAIN WITHIN 5 OR SO MINUTES OF DRIVING. THIS ALSO MAKES IT WHERE I CANNOT MANUALLY UP OR DOWN SHIFT. NO ISSUES TURNING OR STATIONARY, SEEMS TO BE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE CITY OR HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STOP/START SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLAKE FULENWIDER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP OF CLYDE (110 N S ACCESS RD, CLYDE, TX 79510, (325) 893-1416) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY SENSOR, UNDER HOOD SWITCH, AND AN UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,266.

ONLY 60K ON MY JEEP CHEROKEE AND SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON. THIS REMAINED ON THE 21 MILES TO MY JOB.

THE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON ON 04/01/2021. IT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TRIP HOME FROM MY SCHOOL OF EMPLOYMENT. I NOTED THIS IS A POPULAR PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. PREVIOUSLY, I HAD VERY SCARY PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN AN ONGOING SUIT THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE KEEPS APPEARING, AND SOLID RED LIGHTS STAY ON THE SHIFTER DISPLAY PRND WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF IT DISAPPEARS BUT RETURNS IN LESS THAN 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE SHIFTING IS ROUGH AND JUMPY. HAD CAR LESS THAN 1 WEEK.

WE OWN A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. LAST NIGHT MY WIFE WAS STRANDED WITH A FLAT ALONG A BUSY HIGHWAY. SHE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE TIRE BUT COULD NOT GET THE LUG NUTS OFF. I DROVE TO THE SITE AND YES EVERY LUG NUT ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SWELLED AND WILL NOT BUDGE EVEN WITH IMPACT WRENCH. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET. YET JEEP REFUSES TO ADMIT THE ISSUE OR EVEN WARN IT'S CUSTOMERS TO CHECK THIS IN CASE YOU GET A FLAT. MY WIFE IS NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANYWHERE. I GET MY OIL CHANGED AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. YOU THINK THEY COULD WARN THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE? YOU THINK THEY WOULD CHECK FOR THIS ISSUE WHEN WE BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERSHIP? WHY DID I HAVE TO LEARN OF THIS ISSUE AFTER THE FACT. WHY DID I HAVE TO LEARN OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET?

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT WITH ONLY 11850 MILES BEGAN JERKING AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY... FINALLY IT STALLED COMPLETELY AND THE LOW OIL INDICATOR SHOWED. I THEN DISCOVERED THE 2.4L TIGERSHARK ENGINE WAS DOWN OVER 2 QTS. THERE WAS NO PRIOR LOW OIL INDICATION. I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE 2016 WHEN NEW. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON A COUNTY ROAD.

MY JEEP WAS LOOKED AT UNDER THE W20 RECALL, IT FIXED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BUT LATER CAME BACK UP. I'M NOT SURE IF THE RECALL WAS PART OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BUT I'VE TRIED TO RESET IT, AND THAT IS NOT WORKING. I DON'T FEEL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FIXED. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO? SHOULD I BRING MY JEEP TO A JEEP DEALER??

TRANSMISSION JERKS. PARKING BRAKE COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT AND WHEN I GOT TO MY FRIENDS GATED ENTRANCE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK SO I COULD ENTER THE GATE CODE ON TO THE KEY PAD. WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE- THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WENT ON BY ITSELF AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN TO ANY GEAR SO I COULDN'T PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE WAY FOR RESIDENTS TRYING TO ENTER. I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK AND WAIT AN HOUR DIRECTING TRAFFIC... HAD IT TOWED TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. NEXT MORNING HAD IT TOWED TO CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP IN BUFORD, GA.

I HAD MY CAR TOWED ON THE MORNING OF FEB. 20TH FROM MY HOME TO THE MALL OF GA CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP IN BUFORD, GEORGIA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT IT WAS THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $860.00 TO FIX. PART WOULDN'T BE IN UNTIL MARCH 3RD. OK, THEN GET A CALL SAYING THAT OIL GOT IN THE BOOSTER PUMP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP ALSO AND THIS IS GOING TO COST AN ADDITIONAL $1,200.00. TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD WITH REPAIRS. THEY WOULD ONLY CREDIT ME FOR 2 DAYS OF A RENTAL CAR AND I HAD TO PAY $350.00 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION WHILE MY CAR IS IN THEIR SERVICE DEPT WHERE I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW OFF THEIR LOT. GOT CAR BACK MARCH 5TH 2021. ON MARCH 7TH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD POPPING SOUND, STEERING IS VERY TIGHT AND NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING. DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AT ALL. I CALLED MON. MORN AND NO CALL BACK YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES BETWEEN 35-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE MADE AN AUDIBLE DINGING SOUND WITH A MESSAGE DISPLAYED TO TURN-OFF THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MINUTES THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS A PARKING BRAKE ISSUE. MY PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT DISENGAGE, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACK, THE LIGHT REMAINS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. MY JEEP IS INOPERABLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT IN TRAFFIC AND MY CAR REFUSED TO MOVE AT ALL. IT FINALLY MOVED OUT OF PARK IN 30 MINUTES. THE NEXT DAY MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT THE STORE. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP. THESE TWO INCIDENTS CAUSED ME TO BE STUCK DANGEROUSLY IN TRAFFIC AT A STREET LIGHT, AND THEN AGAIN AT THE GROCERY STORE IN THE PARKING LOT. AS OF NOW I AM WITHOUT MY CAR, BEING TOLD WATER GOT IN THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE MODULE. I AM TOLD IT ALSO REQUIRES A ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE SWITCH NOW TOO. MY CAR HAS42504 ACTUAL MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. I BOUT IT WITH 42098 MILES ON IT ON JUNE 25TH 2020.

MY JEEP SHUTS OFF WHEN IN MOTION. LAST NOVEMBER I WAS ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY TODDLER IN THE BACKSEAT WHEN IT SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED AN "UPDATE" ON THE TRANSMISSION. NOW IT IS A FEW MONTHS LATER AND AGAIN TODAY IT SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PCM THAT MAYBE COULD BE CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF. THEY CANNOT EVEN GIVE YOU A QUICK APPOINTMENT AND EXPECT ME TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT IS, COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND ALMOST CAUSING FULL COLLISION ON TWO OCCASIONS. HOW CAN NOBODY CARE THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE DEATH IN A COLLISION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION? THEY JUST KEEP SAYING THEY UNDERSTAND BUT THAT IT JUST NEEDS AN UPDATE AND FOR ME TO JUST WAIT A WEEK OR MORE UNTIL THEIR NEXT APPOINTMENT. THEY SAY I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY MAIL OF ANY RECALL OR UPDATE BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF ANYTHING.

CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING LOT AND MAKING RIGHT TURN.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING KEEPS POPPING UP. ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF IT GOES AWAY FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES THEN POPS BACK UP. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY ARE UNSURE WHY THIS WOULD COME ON. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS OF US GETTING IT BRAND NEW. TODAY WAS THE MOST RECENT & WHEN I DECIDED TO GOOGLE IT & SEEN WHERE YOU CAN PUT IN INTO THIS SITE.

PURCHASED 75,000 MILE WARRANTY WITH TOB. AROUND 30,000 MOTOR REPLACED. OIL CONSUMPTION. NC. HAD IT AT MIDAS AT 67,584 MILES BECAUSE OF UNUSUAL NOISES IN THE FRONT END. WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE DRIVETRAIN. ADVISED ME TO CHECK WITH TOM O'BRIEN CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP RAM IN GREENWOOD INDIANA THAT IT MIGHT BE UNDER WARRANTY. HAD IT THERE TWICE, MIDAS GREENWOOD TWICE AND FLETCHER CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP RAM IN FRANKLIN INDIANA TWICE. EACH MADE REPAIRS TO IT COSTING ME $595 TOTAL IN OUT-OF-POCKET DEDUCTIBLES. BILLING TO WARRANTY COMPANY: MIDAS $1933.57, FLETCHER $618 AND TOB $2267 WHICH IS "THE MECHANIC" (MECHANICAL REPAIR SERVICE CONTRACT) TEL # 800-621-2130. CONTRACT # GW227456. THE VEHICLE HAD THESE ISSUES OF UNUSUAL NOISES ON ROUGH PAVEMENT, WANDERING WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP GOING THRU SHIFTING GEARS MOVING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT THEN BACK TO STRAIGHT THEN GOING BACK TO THE RIGHT EVERY TIME ON SHIFTING. AT 75,000 MILES THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AND UP TO THAT TIME "NONE" OF THE COMPANIES FIGURED IT OUT NOR FIXED IT. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE LEMON LAW DIDN'T APPLY. SO NOW AT 80194 MILES IT'S SO BAD THAT IT'S UNTRUSTWORTHY AND IT'S GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY. I CAN'T FIND ANYBODY TO FIX IT ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS OUT AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT WE CAN TRADE IT IS BACK AT TOB WHICH WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM THEM. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS FOR ALL REPAIRS MADE THAT DID NOT FIX IT. SO WE ARE STUCK. CAN'T FIX IT NOR TRADE AND GET A GOOD PRICE FOR IT.

WITHIN 7 MONTHS OF BUYING THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP, THE 4WD SAYS UNAVAILABLE, THE WIPER SPRAYER BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I COULDN'T SPRAY MY WINDOW ON A SNOW-MELTING, MESSY DAY. THEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER BROKE WHILE DRIVING IN TORRENT RAINS WHERE I ALMOST GOT RUN OVER BY A SEMI-TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY FOR HAVING TO PULL OVER. THE MUD FLAPS CONTINUE TO RIP CAUSING MUD AND ICE TO BUILD UP BEHIND THE TIRES. IN 15-BELOW WEATHER, I WENT TO START MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND WHEN I TURNED THE HEAT HIGHER THAN 4 (OUT OF 7), IT MADE A LOUD, VIBRATING SOUND UNTIL I TURNED IT BACK DOWN, SO I WAS VERY COLD ALL THE WAY TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY IT WORKED FINE. THE DAY AFTER THAT, I WENT OUT TO START MY CAR AGAIN TO GO TO WORK, IT WAS 15-BELOW STILL, AND I HAD NO HEATER BLOWER AT ALL. I HAD NO HEAT. I COULD NOT DRIVE DUE TO THAT, HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A SHOP, AND ENDED UP CALLING IN SICK AT WORK, WHICH JEOPARDIZED MY BRAND NEW EMPLOYEE STATUS.

I WAS HOME FROM A SHORT TRIP TO THE STORE WHEN THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK AND SHIFTER WILL NOT GO PAST NEUTRAL. KEY WILL NOT RELEASE AND IS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION WITH NO WAY TO REMOVE OR TURN OFF IGNITION. VEHICLE IS IMMOVABLE AND IS A ROLL OFF HAZARD DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO PLACE TRANSMISSION IN PARK.

CODES WERE IDENTIFIED IN CYLINDER #3 SPARK PLUGS WERE CHECKED TO BE FINE, COILS WERE CHECKED TO BE FINE, AND CYLINDER #3 CONTINUED TO SO ERROR CODES. CAR WAS LEFT TO HAVE FUEL PUMP INJECTOR CHECKED. THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS NOT AFFECTED. CYLINDER #3 WAS FOUND TO HAVE NO PRESSURE AND NOT OPERATING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN "BURNING" OIL, AND NEEDED TO HAVE OIL CHECKED ON A WEEKLY BASIS, OIL CHANGED ON A BY MONTHLY SCHEDULE AND IF IT WAS EVER CLOSE TO MEASURING LOW ON THE DIPSTICK THE AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUTDOWN WOULD DISABLE THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION. THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE AND NOW THE FEAR IS THAT THE "BURNING" OF THE OIL HAS DAMAGED THE ENGINE CYLINDER BEYOND REPAIR. WE'VE BEEN ADVISED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR A COST OF $12,500 AT ONLY 35,000 MILES.

MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WENT OUT IN VEHICLE DURING WINTER WHICH MAKE IT UNDRIVALE IN WISCONSIN WINTERS. IN ADDITION, WHEN I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE VEHICLE POWERS UP WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY UNTIL I TAKE OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL

CAR SHUTS OFF MID-DRIVE / MID-TURN WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING. NO LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED IN THE DASH CLUSTER AFTER OR DURING. NO EXPLANATION WHY.

SEVERAL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AT THE SAME TIME (WITH ALARMS SOUNDING CONTINUOUSLY): CHECK ENGINE; PARKING BRAKE; SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SEATBELT WARNING GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ALL ON AT THE SAME TIME: P, R, N. D AND THE MANUAL SHIFT +/- INDICATOR (ALL LIT RED) THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT (OUT OF WHAT FELT LIKE 3RD GEAR) WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. A FEW TIMES, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL, AND I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO MOVE (AFTER COMING TO A STOP) ON THE OFF RAMP AND ON THE SIDE STREETS. KEY FOB WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS OR SET THE ALARM

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING COMES ON EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON. THE LIGHT INDICATORS ON THE THE GEAR SHIFTER NO LONGER COME ON. THE DASHBOARD IS LOCKED WITH THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE. IT HAS BEEN RECURRING FOR THE PAST MONTH. MECHANICS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING DURING NIGHT TIME, WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE HEADLIGHTS INDEPENDENTLY TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MALL OF GEORGIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (4345 BUFORD DR, BUFORD, GA 30518, (770)945-0839) WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED SHE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, ENGINE WAS NOT GOING AND POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ALL ELECTRONICS WOULD NOT WORK UNTIL THE CAR COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK AND THEN TURNED BACK ON AS NORMAL. INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW AT SPEEDS OF 45MPH , 20MPH, 25MPH, AND 10MPH.

MY CAR WILL JUST DIE WHILE I AM OPERATING IT. THEN IT WILL TURN RIGHT BACK ON, AND DRIVE FINE. IT GOES INTO A GHOST MODE, POWER STEERING STILL WORKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHUT-OFF UPON MAKING A RIGHT TURN WITH THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE AN ABNORMAL NOISE AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. UPON RESTART OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.

ON 01/16/2021 I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM 4TH TO 5TH AND MY ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. UPON GETTING HOME I PULLED THE OBD AND RECEIVED CODE P0887 WHICH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE RECALL OUTLINED THE SYMPTOMS I WAS HAVING TO A T. UPON CALLING JEEP AFTER READING THE RECALL I LEARNED THIS VIN WAS NOT RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS FOR THE RECALL WERE THE SAME WE WERE EXPERIENCING. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS ONLINE I THINK THIS IS A WIDER RECALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE SINCE THE RECALL AND SERVICE BULLETIN RELEASE DATE IN JUNE 2018 THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ATTACHED MY DIAGNOSTIC SCAN SO YOU CAN SEE THE FREEZE FRAME AND CODE BEING THROWN ON THE VEHICLE. THAT BEING SAID THIS CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE RIGHT NOW THROUGH NO FAULT OF OUR OWN AS ALL MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE. JEEP WANTS TO CHARGE US $75 FOR THE RE-FLASH PROCEDURE AND I REALIZE I MAY NOT GET OUT OF PAYING THAT BUT I WANTED TO BE SURE YOU GUYS KNEW THAT THE RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COVER THESE YEARS OF JEEPS FAILED TO DO SO FULLY AND SHOULD BE REEXAMINED. THANKS

1. THE NEW BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD ON MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY ON MAY 28, 2020 AND ON 1-17-21 THE NEW BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD. 2. WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON AND BRAKES THE CAR, I DISENGAGED THE BRAKE AND CONTINUED OUT OF DRIVE WAY AND WILL DO IT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS.

GEAR SHIFT ERROR LIGHTS! WHILE DRIVING ALL THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS CAME ON. PULLED OVER TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. WHEN I PICKED UP TO SPEED THE LIGHTS CAME BACK. THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN TURNING AND STARTED JERKING WITH TAKE OFF. ONCE THE POWER SHUTS OFF THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START AND TURNED OVER UNTIL IT CAUGHT ON. I DRIVE AROUND A LARGE CITY WITH LOTS OF HIGHWAYS FOR A LIVING AND I AM AFRAID THE CAR MAY LOSS POWER IN TRAFFIC! THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SUMMER 2020

ENGINE CUTS OUT WITH NO WARNING WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION. IMMEDIATE LOSS OF STEERING, BREAKING, AND POWER. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT 10-15 MPH FOLLOWING ROAD TO THE RIGHT ON A RISE. IMMEDIATE RISK OF COLLISION FROM FOLLOWING CARS.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING! APPARENTLY WHEN OIL IS LOW, ENGINE IS BUILT TO SHUT OFF AS A SAFETY FEATURE! NO OIL LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING VEHICLE WITH NO WARNING. CHECKED THE FORUMS ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF SAME ISSUE. THESE VEHICLES (MINE INCLUDED) ARE BURNING OIL LIKE CRAZY! ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE VEHICLE HAD 60K MILES ON IT. WILL BURN THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN 3K MILES OR LESS AND THEN VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF BECAUSE OF NO OIL!

AS I AM DRIVING ALONG, THE CONSOLE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TELLS ME THAT I NEED TO 'SERVICE SHIFTER'. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THEN IT REPEATS. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE WHY IT IS DOING THIS.

THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ALERT IS ON, I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 21000 MILES. I HAVE DONE SOME INVESTIGATING AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR MANY JEEP'S, YET IS NOT A RECALL.

EIGHT TIMES NOW MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL JUST QUIT. DEALERSHIP KEEPS MAKING ME CHECK MY OIL MYSELF. I AM 3000 MILES BEFORE A SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE AND THE VEHICLE HAS JUST STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS . I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 ON ALMOST ALL ROADS. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI WAITING FOR A TOW. I GOT HOME AND AGAIN MY OIL IS LOW. MY CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL. AGAIN I WILL HAVE TO TOW TO DEALER FOR THEM TO PUT OIL IN AND DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS IN FULL MOTION. DASHBOARD GIVES A WARNING TO PUT CAR IN GEAR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT IS IN GEAR

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP BACK IN NOVEMBER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT FAILURE. THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THEY SAID MY VIN DID NOT FALL UNDER IT. I HAD THEM ORDER THE PART AND THEY KEEP GIVING ME NEW ETA'S ON THE PART. AS OF TODAY THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS SUCH A DEMAND FOR THIS PART THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A NEW ETA OF FEBRUARY 4TH 2021. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SO WHY ISN'T MY VEHICLE COVERED. NOW I WILL NEED TO RENT A CAR FOR AT LEAST A MONTH AND A HALF IF THERE ETA IS CORRECT WHICH IT HASN'T BEEN THE LAST 5 TIMES. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THEY CAN'T MAKE THIS PART FAST ENOUGH FOR THE DEMAND. I PREVIOUSLY PUT THIS CLAIM IN BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RESPONSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE POSSIBLY NOT BEING REPORTED BY CUSTOMERS WHO DO NOT HAVE TO ABSORB THE COST.

I KEEP HAVING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' POP UP WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS. IT ORIGINALLY POPPED UP ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT POPS UP AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. AND THE THIRD TIME THEY CLEANED A CONNECTOR. AFTER ALL THREE TIMES I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THE CAR WAS FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN THE MESSAGE CAME BACK.

THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER ' ICON WAS ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE GEAR SELECTOR INDICATOR LIGHTS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER REVIEWING WEB SITES THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEES.

VEHICLE ENGAGES EMERGENCY BREAK AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION WHILE IN MOTION'REDUCING THE SPEED TO 0. IT FORCES A RESTART AND ONCE THE RESTART IS DONE VEHICLE WILL MAKE ABRUPT SOUNDS WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. STEERING WILL BECOME STIFF AND VEHICLE WILL DO THIS ON REGULAR STREET ROAD OR HIGHWAY MAKING IT DANGEROUS. ONCE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED A FEW TIMES SENSORS CLEAR OUT. IT'S BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT HAS POPPED UP ON MY JEEP TWICE NOW.

CAR SHUT DOWN IN MIDDLE OF ROAD, HAPPENED FEW MORE TIMES, CAR IS CONSUMING GAS IN LESS THEN 700 MILES, MECH SAYS ITS A ENGINE ISSUE, I HAVE TO REFILE EVERY FEW DAYS, CAR IS STRUGGLING TO MOVE, I FEAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN IF I DO NOT FILL IN A DANGEROUS LOCATION

VEHICLE DIES AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN VERY SLOWLY IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DIED. POWER STEERING LOSS AND BRAKE LOSS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO PULL OVER. DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS DEATH TRAP AND I WOULD LIKE THE ENGINE REPLACED. OR BE ABLE TO GET RID OF IT WITHOUT PAYING A FORTUNE. ALSO 2 DAYS BEFORE THIS IT STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE GOING 50 PMH.

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. GENERALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS, WHILE I'M DECELERATING IT DECIDES TO DECELERATE TO WHERE I'M NOW GOING JUST A FEW MILES AN HOUR TO COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I'VE REPLACED MY BATTERY TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T AN ISSUE AND MY BATTERY LIGHT DID COME ON AS WELL AFTER THE SHUT OFF. MY SCREEN ALSO TELLS ME TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND CHOOSE DESIRED GEAR. WHEN MY CAR IS CLEARLY IN DRIVE BUT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND THE PICTURE IS FROM TODAY, THIS BATTERY WAS REPLACED YESTERDAY.

VEHICLE STALL WHILE PARKED OR DURING MID TURN. VEHICLE WOULD ALSO HAVE SOME SORT OF OVERHEATING WHICH CAUSES ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ONE AND VEHICLE STARTS TO LOSE POWER CAUSING LIGHTS TO HAVE A SHORT FLICKER. ALL ISSUE HAPPEN DURING MOTION AND WHILE PARKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART HOWEVER, THERE WAS A DELAY AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEYS AUTO CENTER (1618 N ROOSEVELT BLVD, KEY WEST, FL 33040) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING COMES ON, RANDOMLY, AND VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO CLEAR WARNING AND WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS AS NOTHING, GEAR RELATED, WILL FUNCTION (DRIVE/REVERSE, ETC) UNTIL SAID RESTART IS DONE. NOTE THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE/SHIFT/PARK, ETC. THERE IS NOTHING THAT INDICATES A MALFUNCTION WILL HAPPEN AND GIVEN IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, SAFETY IS A MAJOR CONCERN. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE 12.2.20 WITH THE MOST RECENT BEING 12.16.20

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT. WHEN IT COMES ON IT AFFECTS ALL OF THE CAR'S FEATURES, REMOTE, CRUISE, SPEEDOMETER. HAVE HAD FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TO 4 TIMES.

THE JEEP HAS 36.4K MILES. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR IS OVERHEATING AND SHOOTS ALL THE WAY HOT INTO THE RED AND THEN COOLS DOWN, THEN GOES UP AGAIN. IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 15 MIN. WE FILLED IT WITH ANTIFREEZE. THERE IS NO LEAK. THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM BUT MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S AN ENGINE DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX. IT ALSO HAS A CYLINDER MISFIRE THAT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE FIXED BY CHRYSLER TWICE IN SEPTEMBER AND DECEMBER BECAUSE IT CHUGS WHEN I START THE CAR AND AT STOP LIGHTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEY SAY IT'S BAD SPARK PLUGS. I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 14 MILES A DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLUE RIBBON CHEVROLET BUICK GMC INC (1701 S KERR BLVD, SALLISAW, OK 74955, (918) 416-4590) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW AND AS A FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO LOW OIL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE AN OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION A FEW TIMES SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON FOR A DAY THEN GO AWAY. UPON THE THIRD TIME OR RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE I NOTICED MY CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD WHILE ACCELERATING. I HAD SOMEONE CHECK MY CODES AND I RECEIVED 3 CODES. B10E9, B10EA, AND P1DB7. I HAVE READ SO MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I NOTICED MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 MONTHS BEFORE I GOT ANY OF THESE MESSAGES AND STARTED HAVING THESE ISSUES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THIS AT THE MOMENT AND IT'S REALLY STRESSFUL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP.

I BOUGHT A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WITH 56,000. I HAD IT FOR 1 DAY BEFORE I GOT A SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIT UP RED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME IN RIGHT AWAY, BUT THE LIGHT WENT OFF WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME BACK ON FOR A FEW WEEK, BUT NOW IT COMES ON EVERYDAY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2016-2019 JEEP'S, AND EVEN AFTER GETTING THE WIRING AND SHIFTER REPLACED THE ISSUE WILL COME BACK. I'VE READ ABOUT PEOPLE WHOSE CAR GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND THEY CAN'T PUT IT INTO DRIVE OR PARK. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING TO HAVE THE ISSUE 'FIXED' WHEN IT ISN'T REALLY GETTING FIXED AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SHUT DOWN MID TURN OR WHILE DRIVING. ON MANY TURNS, IT DIES AS I COMPLETE THE TURN. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY JEEP'S ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN ON A CITY STREET IN MORNING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. MY JEEP DEALER SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO "10-11 CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE/RAM VEHICLES". HIS SUGGESTIONS WAS "TO GET AN OIL CHANGE" AND IT WILL FIX IT. I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSIEST STREET IN THE CITY DURING LUNCH TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-7 TIMES THIS YEAR. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING. I IMAGINE THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY AND FREE WAY WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS. CARS WERE SWERVING TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH MY CAR. IF YOU WERE TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE ON GOOGLE, IT'S THE FIRST RESULT. THE ENGINE LITERALLY STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION. HOW ELSE DOES THIS NEED TO BE PHRASED TO GET JEEP'S ATTENTION?

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OUT OF NO WHERE MY JEEP BEGUN TO STALL AND ALL THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND LOST POWER, I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THIS IS THE 3 TIME IT HAPPENS IN 2 DAYS IT RUNS FINE AND OUT OF NO WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS. I CHECKED WITH THE CODE READER AND ALOT IF CODES WITH THE LETTER U POPPED UP STEERING WHEEL SENSOR AND OTHER THINGS I'VE NEVER HEARD OFG I WAITED FOR THE VEHICLE TO GET COLD CHECKED THE HARNESS AND PUT A NEW BATTERY. BROUGHT IT TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR CHECKED AT ADVANCED AUTO AND THE ALTERNATOR IS FINE. LEAVING ADVANCED AUTO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I HAD TO CALL ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE JEEP HOME. THIS MORNING IT STARTED RUNNING FINE ON OUR WAY TO THE STORE A MILE AWAY SAMETHING. WHAT'S GOING ON? I RESEARCH AND THERES HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE YET NO RESULTS OR CLARIFICATION.

VEHICLE WOULD JERK OR STALL WHEN DRIVING FROM A STOP IN THE CITY OR EVEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. PROBLEMS OCCURRED SINCE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT AND HAS PROGRESSLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE. ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON NOW WITH A SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE A DIPSTICK TO CHECK FLUID LEVELS. OWNER'S MANUEL STATES TRANSMISSION FLUID DOES NOT NEED TO BE CHECKED AND TRANSMISSION IS ENCLOSED. OWNER'S MANUEL STATES TRANSMISSION DOES NOT NEED TO BE SERVICED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH I AM ASSUMING MIGHT BE A FALSE STATEMENT. PROBLEM CAUSING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN SERVICE BECAUSE OWNER'S MANUEL STATES IT DOES NOT NEED TO. PROBLEM WOULD RESOLVED BY TURNING ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. SOMETIMES TRANSMISSION BEING STUCK IN A GEAR WILL BE RESOLVED ON ITS OWN IF GAS PEDAL IS KEPT IN THE DOWN POSITION.

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON, BLOCKING THE SPEEDOMETER. ALL THE LIGHTS FOR THE DIFFERENT GEARS LIGHT. IT WILL RESET AFTER THE CAR IS RESTARTING, BUT WILL COME BACK ON AFTER CITY DRIVING FOR ABOUT 200 MILES OR AFTER DRIVING ON ROUGHER CITY ROADS.

ENGINE BURNS TO MUCH OIL. OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON UNTIL ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. CAR STOPS SUDDENLY AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. AN ERROR MESSAGE WILL POP UP TELLING YOU TO PUT YOUR CAR IN PARK AND YOU'LL HAVE TO TRY TO START IT A COUPLE TIMES AND IT WILL TURN OVER BEFORE START.

SERVICE SHIFTER APPEARED AND I RESET BY PULLING OVER SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE, OPENING DOOR AND RE-INSERT KEY AND START. WAS HAPPENING ONCE A MONTH, NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. CAN'T VIEW ANY VEHICLE INFORMATION AS IT FREEZES THE SCREEN. HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHERE I AM DRIVING. WILL EVEN HAPPEN ON A REMOTE START SITTING IDLE.

WHILE DRIVING A SERVICE 4WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER INVESTIGATION THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECALL ON THE PTU'S BUT MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED. AFTER INVESTIGATION THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE PTU'S FAILING. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T EVEN LOCATE ONE OR GET AN ETA FOR THESE UNITS BECAUSE THEY ARE IN SO MUCH DEMAND. NO MATTER WHAT DEALER I CALL THEY ARE ALREADY WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS SOON AS I SAY PTU WHICH PROVES THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT SHIFTER STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ON AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THE SAME VEHICLES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED AND I JUST GOT IT. IT LOCKED UP ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT SHIFT IN TO NEUTRAL OR IN GEAR SO I COULD GET IT OUT THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I FINALLY GOT IT TO RELEASE INTO NEUTRAL AND IT ROLLED BACK OFF THE ROAD. NOW IT SAYS SERVICE E BRAKE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS WAY BEYOND YOUR TYPICAL CAR ISSUE THAT CAN BE FIXED FOR A FEW BUCKS. UNSAFE FOR MY KIDS.

MY VEHICLE IS AT 86,500 MILES AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE HAS COME UP ON MY DASHBOARD MORE THAN ONCE NOW AND FROM WHAT I CAN FIND, THERE IS NO SOLID OR PERMANENT FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE THE BE ABLE TO FIX MY CAR AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AGAIN.

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE TRANSMISSION PANEL WERE LIT UP.

IN FRONT END ACCIDENT HITTING A TREE AND AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF.

ALMOST HAD A REAR END COLLISION, TRANSMISSION STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND LOSS ALL POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED, VEHICLE BEHIND ME SKIDDED BEFORE COMING INCHES TO HITTING ME. SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND WHILE GIVING GAS, VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO. VEHICLE HAS 34000 MILES AND CAN'T GO ON FREEWAY.

THE BEZEL AROUND THE SHIFTER (THE PART WITH THE LIGHTS SPECIFICALLY) STARTED SHORTING AND GIVING AN ERROR TO SERVICE THE SHIFTER. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO AWAY IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHERE, WHEN SHIFTING, THE CAR REFUSES TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR AND STAYS IN PARK. MY FEAR IS THAT ONE DAY IT WILL BE SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, I WILL REVERSE AND THEN NO LONGER BE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, THUS STRANDING ME IN REVERSE.

SERVICE TRANSMISSION ERROR ALERTING AFTER CAR REACHES 50MPH. CAR LOSES ABILITY TO CHANGE GEARS AND DROPS DRASTICALLY IN SPEED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. AFTER RESET WHICH ONLY LASTS A SHORT TIME AND ERROR CONTINUES. WHEN CAR IS PUT IN PARK TEMPORARILY RESETS BUT THEN ERRORS AGAIN OVER AND OVER WHEN SPEEDS INCREASE. RED SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON REGARDLESS OF ANY RESET.

AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF OWNING THE CAR THE ERROR MESSAGE "SERVICE SHIFTER" CAME ON. THE MESSAGE COMES AND GOES WITHOUT WARNING USUALLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR OVER AN EXTENDED TIME PERIOD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT LOCKS YOU OUT OF THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER AND YOU HAVE TO RESET IT BY HOLDING A FEW BUTTONS AND IT WILL COME BACK ON.

CAR IS AT 52,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WENT ON, AS SOON AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE.

MY 2016 JEEP SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT APPEARED THEN THE NEXT THING I HAD NO ACCELERATION ON THE EXPRESSWAY. SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS NO POWER ON THE GAS PETAL AND THE CAR WAS JUST NOT GOING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR AND COULD NOT GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES OF ME PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PETAL IT FINALLY WORKED. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY. ON THE WAY HOME EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP THE SAME THING WOULD OCCUR, BUT THIS TIME I WOULD TURN OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE AND IT SEEMED TO RESET AND WORK AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP WERE THEY SAID IT WAS TCM WHICH THEY UPDATED/RESET, BUT THEY ALSO TOLD ME THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE CHYSLER DOES UPDATES AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS UPDATED FOR US OR WE WILL HAVE ISSUES. WELL I HAD EVERYTHING UPDATED THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS WITH MY VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" LIGHT REAPPEARED. NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT IS THE TCM THAT NEEDS TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 58,470 MILES, THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE UPDATES AND THAT THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST TO HAVE THESE ISSUES FIXED BY CHYSLER. I HAVE READ UP ON THIS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN HOW MUCH TROUBLE I WOULD HAVE WITH A JEEP/CHYSLER PRODUCT, I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT IT.

4WD SYSTEM FRAILER

CAR HAS HAD REPETITIVE ISSUES LOSING POWER DIRECTLY AFTER A SHARP RIGHT HAND TURN. COMPLETELY LOSES POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS BUT LONG ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY BE REAR ENDED. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR THE LAST 30,000 MILES AND SEEMS NO HELP IS COMPING FROM THE DEALERSHIP OR MANUFACTURER. I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THAT IT WAS A LOW OIL ISSUE ALTHOUGH THE OIL WAS NOT LOW. THIS IS THE V6 VERSION AND DOES NOT CONSUME OIL LIKE THE 4 CYLINDER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REFLASHED TWICE AND DEALERSHIP IS UNWILLING TO FIND SOURCE AND FIX. I HAVE ONE PARTICULAR TURN ON TO A INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I MAKE EVERY DAY AND THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY STALLS ON THAT TURN. IT IS A POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THERE IS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND YET NO RECALL OR EVEN A SERVICE BULLETIN. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE INTERVENE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED.

AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT IS ON. ALSO, THE SEATBELT LIGHT IS ON STATING DRIVER DOES NOT HAVE SEATBELT EVEN WHEN PLUGGED IN. VEHICLE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE WILL EVENTUALLY NOT SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. HAVE SERVICED BEFORE AND IT COMES ON AGAIN.

SERVICE SHIFTER

SERVICE SHIFTER. ALL LIGHTS COME ON. HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF SO CAR DOESN'T LOCK UP

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVED FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR, ALL GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS, LIGHT UP AS WELL AS A MESSAGE DISPLAYING "SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER". THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT NOBODY CAN SEEM TO GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER AS TO HOW TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUE, REPLACED THE SHIFTER 3 TIMES AND PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK MONTHS LATER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ON A DIRT ROAD SHE ACTIVATED THE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE FUNCTION. WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL, THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY SHIFTED OUT OF FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE WITH THE FAILURE LIGHT DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MTN. VIEW CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (6276 ALABAMA HWY, RINGGOLD, GA 30736, (706) 935-2328) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED OF INTERNAL GEAR DAMAGE IN THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,203.*DT*JB

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, CAR STARTS TO MOVE THEN HESITATES AS IF SHIFTING TO A HIGHER GEAR, WAY TO EARLY. RPMS GO UP THEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BACK DOWN TO CORRECT GEAR, CAUSING JERKING REACTION AND THEN RUNS NORMALLY. THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THAT THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. PROBLEMS STARTED AROUND 2018 WITH AROUND 15000 MILES.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WITH ALL THE GEAR LIGHTS LIT UP TOO. VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN LIGHTS FIRST CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID THAT THE SHIFTER BOX AND WIRES NEED REPLACED. SERVICE DEPT. SAYS CHEROKEE ARE KNOWN FOR THIS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 49700 MILES.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2016 CHEROKKE SINCE JAN 2020 IN APRIL IT BEGAN TO RUN FUNNY THATS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE SUFFERING FROM EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE BEEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS DOING OIL CONSUMPTION TEST JUST TO BE TOLD I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE A NEW TEST HAS TO BE STARTED. NOW HERE I AM WITH THE SAME ISSUE JUST THE RUN AROUND. I ALSO HAVE A TRANS THAT CLUNKS AND BANGS INTO GEAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL HANG BEFORE SHIFTING OR GEAR HUNT AND TRY TO SHIFT INTO TWO GEARS AT ONCE. I TOLD THE DEALER THIS TO BE TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL OR THAT MY BRAKES WERE THE PROBLEM. IT STILL HASNT BEEN RESOLVED IM STUCK PAYING ON THIS JUNK I OWE MORE THAN ITS WORTH SO I CANT GET RID OF IT. I JUST WANT JEEP TO TAKE ACCOUNTABLITY AND FIX IT OR REPLACE IT. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAPPEND IN CITY DRIVING ON BUSY ROADS AND INTERSTATES AS WELL AS COUNTRY AREAS WITH TRAFFIC.

THE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON THAT READ 'SERVICE SHIFTER'. THEN THE P R N D LIT UP AT THE SAME TIME IN RED.

THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMMING ON HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE AND THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I DO NOT TRUST THE CAR TO TAKE A TRIP IN AND THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT IT. IT STARTED WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT AND IT STILL IS DOING IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAT FOR A WHILE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RESUME DRIVING, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH A FRIEND, HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SET AND THE CAR STARTED SPEEDING UP, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DISENGAGE AND IT DIDNT SO I PRESSED CANCEL ON THE STEERING WHEEL IT JUST KEEP GOING, I KEEP TAPPING THE BREAK PEDAL, FINALLY IT JUST WENT OFF,I ASKED MY GIRLFRIEND IF SHE FELT THAT, SHE SAID YES I THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING IT, I WONDERED WHAT YOU WERE DOING..I HAD A RECALL ON MY CAR EARILER FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL AND TOOK IT IN BUT IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE IT WASNT FIXED PROPERLY. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY SAID SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE ID HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR..I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE.. THERE ARE ONLY 21683 MILES ON MY CAR..

SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUES, THIS IS MY FOURTH TIME NEEDING TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE BEZEL AND HARNESS.. DASH SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER AND ALL LIGHTS FROM PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE ETC LIGHT UP RED WHILE DRIVING AT WHICH TIME MUST PULL VEHICLE OVER AND RESTART TO RESET IT UNTIL REPAIRED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES NOW BEGINNING IN 2016, 2017, 2019, AND AGAIN NOW IN 2020. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE WITH THIS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST PERHAPS PUTTING OUT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

IT FIRST STARTED WITH 911 VEHICLE PHONE "VEHICLE PHONE REQUIRES SERVICE" PLEASE CONTACT DEALER. THEN AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE DISPLAY WILL TAKE A WHILE TO TURN ON, AT ONE POINT DURING THAT TIME I WENT TO TURN ON MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, IT SAID "KEY FOB NOT FOUND" WHEN KEY WAS WITH ME. IT DID FINALLY TURN ON AFTER I REMOVED THE KEY FROM FOB. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID SOME UPDATES ON IT, COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER. WAS WORKING FINE AFTER THAT, BUT TWO DAYS LATER I GOT THE INITIAL MESSAGE FROM ABOVE AND MY GPS WAS NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WILL DO UPDATES AGAIN. DEALER CAME BACK AND SAID DURING THE UPDATES THE RADIO WENT (STOP WORKING)AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIO. THEY ORDERED ONE, I TOOK IT IN FOR REPLACEMENT AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAYS, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY ARE WAITING ON FACTORY TO ADVISE THEM.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL AS ALL THE LIGHTS ON SHIFTER ITSELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON I 69, PLACING IT IN PARK, AND ALSO WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE PICTURES INCLUDED ARE DATED 6/13/2020 BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE AND THAT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. DID REPORT TO WATERMARK TOYOTA IN MADISONVILLE,KY WHEN WE GOT THE OIL CHANGED ON 9/4/2020 AND THEY SAID COULDN'T IT TO SHOW A CODE. WE WILL NEED TO BRING IN WHEN IT IS SHOWING "SERVICE SHIFTER"

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT FIXED BEFORE. LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITHIN 3 MONTHS AFTER GETTING IT FIXED. I SAW A POST ON FACEBOOK ABOUT A LADY THAT HAD IT HAPPEN TO HER 2017 CHEROKEE. SHE STATED THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND THAT HER WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE AND THE CAR SPED UP AND SHE CRASHED. CHRYSLER IS INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE TO HER DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SMOKY MOUNTAIN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 556 HIGHLANDS RD, FRANKLIN, NC 28734, (828) 369-5003, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE BRAKE MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT, CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS COME ON BUT ONCE YOU SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF THE NEXT TIME YOU START THE CAR IT'S OF IT COMES ON AND COMES OFF. ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIGHT IN RED AND STAY ON. VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY.

LIGHTS ON DASH TURNED RED AND SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS AGO AND NOW AGAIN TODAY

NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND FREEWAY, "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" APPEARS ON DASHBOARD FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOSE POWER, LOSS OF DRIVE. PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T WORK. VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK OR TURN THE ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE WILL THEN HAVE POWER AGAIN. ALSO HAVE HAD VEHICLE ATTEMPT TO SHIFT WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT. WARNING CAME UP ON DASHBOARD STATING YOU HAVE TO BE IN PARK BEFORE SHIFTING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE LOST POWER, LOSS OF DRIVE. HAD TO PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2014-2017 JEEP CHEROKEES FOR PTU, JULY 2020, NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 20V343000, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WAS ADVISED BY FCA TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE ISSUE, BUT WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I DON'T FEEL THAT IS REASONABLE SINCE MY VEHICLE IS PERFORMING THE WAY THE RECALL SUMMARY DESCRIBES. I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING ALL YEAR STARTING JAN 2020 UP UNTIL NOW, SEPT 2020.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70-80 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS VIBRATING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, MY VEHICLE DINGED AND THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY SHOWED SERVICE SHIFTER. I LOOK AT THE GEAR SHIFT, WHICH WAS STILL IN DRIVE, AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO AT RANDOM TIMES: ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING, WHILE AT STOP SIGNS, WHEN STARTING THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY. SOMETIMES I WILL GO WEEKS WITHOUT A PROBLEM, OTHER TIMES I WILL GO MINUTES. THE CURRENT WORK AROUND IS TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON.

THE SUNROOF WILL NOT CLOSE. WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED TO AUTO-CLOSE THE SUNROOF, THE ROOF BEGINS TO CLOSE BUT STOPS 3-5 INCHES FROM FULL CLOSE AND THEN REOPENS FULLY. IT TAKES THREE ATTEMPTS TO AUTO-CLOSE BEFORE THE SYSTEM STOPS AUTO-CLOSE AND THEN YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE CLOSE BUTTON FOR IT TO FULLY CLOSE. I'VE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE DURING WARRANTY BUT IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

WE'RE GETTING THE 'SERVICE 4WD' WARNING AGAIN. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED.

THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS BEEN ON PRETTY MUCH SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE. HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO ORILEYS AND WAS TOLD CODES WERE EITHER TRANSMISSION OR FIRING. I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE COIL PACKS. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE OF IT BOGGING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. LIKE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT. IF U PUT IT IN MANUAL IT WOULD WORK. COIL PACKS FIXED ALL THAT. NOW MY WIFE DRIVES VEHICLE IN DETROIT TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE JUST SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN FLOW OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. VEHICLE LIKE WANTING TO STOP IMMEDIATELY AND ALMOST GET REAR ENDED.

I HAVE 43,000 ON MY 2016..WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY AND MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING CAME ON AND NOW SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON....SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AT AROUND 29K MILES OR SO. HAD IT SERVICED AT A JEEP DEALER WITH MY MAXCARE WARRANTY AND I'M NOW AT 33K MILES AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER CAME BACK ON. I'VE READ ON FORUMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. I'M PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND IT'S RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE AFTER GETTING IT FIXED. THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON IT WASN'T READING THAT IT WAS IN PARK. NOW IT COMES ON WHENEVER I'M DRIVING. I'VE READ THAT THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED SOME PEOPLE TO HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION.

WAS TURNING LEFT AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF MIDTURN WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED TOOK JEEP IN SHOP DIDN'T FIX WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY ALSO WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL JEEP INSTRUMENT WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND LOST ALL POWER COASTED TO A STOP RESTARTED, SHIFTING BECAME SLUGGISH MOTOR STARTED KNOCKING TOOK TO SHOP TO GET FIX SPEND OVER 2000 BUCKS TO GET FIX NOW THEY WANT 7000 BUCKS FOR ENGINE

WHEN TURNING, LEFT OR RIGHT MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE STALLED. IT EMITTED A DING SOUND AND FLASHED THE MESSAGE 'SHIFT GEAR TO PARK FIRST'. THE BATTERY LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF. I LOST POWER STEERING AND ACCELERATION. IT HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES SINCE DECEMBER 2019, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. I SUSPECT THE OIL LEVEL BEING LOW IS THE CAUSE. BUT I HAVE NO INDICATION THAT THE OIL LEVEL GETS LOW.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT APPEARS ON MY DASHBOARD INTERMITTENTLY. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I'M EITHER PARKING MY VEHICLE OR WHEN IT IS IN PARK. IF I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT GOES OUT FOR THE TIME BEING. I DON'T KNOW IF THE FREQUENCY WILL INCREASE ON HOW MUCH THIS LIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO COME ON.

CONSOLE SUDDENLY DISPLAYED 'SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY. IT WAS DRY OUT. ALSO ALL SHIFTER LIGHTS PRND LIGHTS ON SOLID. I'M AT APPROX 70,000 K. AFRAID TO STOP IN RIGHT ON EMPTY HIGHWAY LATE AT NIGHT, I DTOVE TO NEAREST SERVICE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF ENGINE. RESTARTING CLEARED ERROR. AS I WAS ON A LONG ROAD TRIP, CONTINUED ON. THIS ERROR OCCURRED FOR SECOND TIME, APPROX 2000K LATER. RESTARTING AGAIN CLEARED. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN SINCE. SAW ONLINE HUNDREDS WITH SAME ISSUE AND NO CLEAR FIX OR RECALL. JEEP NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ASAP.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION CAME UPON MY DASH MESSAGE CENTER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY TRUCK STARTED DRIVING BADLY, BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE HOME. NOW, THE ENGINE LIKE KEEP RANDOMLY COMING ON AND MY TRUCK KEEP SHUTTING OFF WHENEVER IT PLEASE!!!!!!

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE ON THE HIGHWAY RANDOMLY LOSE POWER AND WOULD NEED TO PULL OVER RESTART FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO REENGAGE. THIS SEEMS TO BE RECALL, HAD THE WORK DONE IN MICHIGAN WHILE ON VACATION DUE TO THE DANGERS OF DRIVING IT BACK HOME TO TN. DEALER DID NOT MENTION IT COULD BE A RECALL AND HAD ME PAY FULL AMOUNT.

WHILE DRIVING, MY JEEP WILL COME UP WITH A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' WARNING AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WILL COME ON. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2016. AT 33,000 MILES THE ENGINE FAILED RESULTING IN THE CAR SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATING IN MOTION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT IN AND WAS TOLD THE SPARK PLUGS FAILED AND THEY WERE REPLACED. AT 58,000 MILES THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS AND THESE WERE REPLACED AGAIN. AT 74,100 IT HAPPENED A THIRD TIME. I BROUGHT IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. AT THIS TIME, THE CAR WAS ALMOST 10,000 OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS OIL LEAKING OUT OF MY ENGINE ONTO MY SPARK PLUGS CAUSING THE SPARK PLUGS TO MUD UP AND FAIL AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. AFTER SOME ARGUING BACK AND FORTH, FCA, USA AGREED TO SUPPLY A NEW ENGINE IF I PAID FOR THE LABOR, WHICH I DID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ROUGH IDLING. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO QUIRK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (830 PLAIN ST, MARSHFIELD, MA 02050) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT CYLINDER NUMBER 3 FAILED AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT LOW COMPRESSION ON CYLINDER NUMBER 3 SHOWED INTERNAL FAILURE WITH DTC NUMBER: P0303 (CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION CAME ON. IT STARTING ACTING AS THOUGH IT WAS STUCK IN A HIGHER GEAR. GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND ACCELERATING, THERE WAS NO POWER. AFTER GETTING THE CODE READ, IT WAS DISPLAYING P0887 "TCM POWER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH." I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND NOTICED THAT IT HAS HAPPEN ON A LOT OF THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES FROM 2014 TO 2018.

I WAS DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MILES. STOPPED AT A STORE FOR 5 MINUTES, TURNED THE CAR OFF . GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. THEN IT WENT OFF AND ON FOR THE 20 MILE RIDE HOME. THEN IT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. CALLED THE CAR DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY PROBLEM. SAID THAT IT WAS PROBLEM DEFECTIVE. MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE JEEP. WAS TOLD THAT THE INTERMEDIATE SEAT CONNECTOR UNDER THE SEAT WAS BAD. THAT THE PINS RE MAKING A POOR CONNECTION. HAD TO BUY A NEW HARNESS.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS AND ALL POSITIONS ON THE SHIFTER CONSOLE ARE LIGHTED (P, D, R, ETC.). ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MOST OF THE TIME, BUT NOT ALWAYS, STOPPING VEHICLE AND TURNING OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN CLEARS THE MESSAGE. OCCASSIONALLY REQUIRES MULTIPLE POWER OFF/ON CYCLES TO RESTART WITHOUT THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE.

4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND MONTHS APART WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT GOES ON. MAX SPEED AT THIS POINT IS ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR. EACH TIME I HAVE LIMPED THE CAR OFF THE FREEWAY AND SHUTDOWN. I WAITING A FEW MINUTES THE CAR STARTS BACK UP AND DRIVES OK BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. WHEN I GET HOME OR WORK AND THE CAR IS PARKED FOR AN HOUR OR SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CLEARS AND BECAUSE OF THIS DEALERSHIP CAN NOT CODE IT. NOT SURE IF IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE OR COMPUTER ISSUE. SEEMS VERY RANDOM BUT ONLY OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WITH NO PROOF AND IT BEING RANDOM DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. SAW A NEWS REPORT FOR A RECALL BUT NOT MY VIN, BUT THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM WAS VERY MUCH THE SAME. JEEP SHOULD EXPAND THE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED DURING ONE OF THESE INCIDENTS.

45695 MILES "SERVICE SHIFTER" SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD.I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SHIFT LIGHTS WERE ON.

WITHOUT WARNING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE CHECKED THE OIL AFTER THIS OCCURRED AND THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL LEFT. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35-45 MPH AND WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS. THE OIL IS CONSISTENTLY CHANGED AT 5000 MILES AND THIS OCCURS AFTER ABOUT 2000 MILES

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND HAD TO COME TO A FULL STOP DUE TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN, AND THERE'S A MESSAGE TO SHIFT THE CAR TO DESIRED GEAR. THE CAR WAS ON DRIVE BUT DID NOT RESPOND. I SHIFTED GEARS FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND GOT NO RESPONSE FROM CAR. IT ALSO SEEMED TO INDICATE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED, BUT IT WAS NOT. HAD TO TURN OFF CAR COMPLETELY (ON A THREE LANE STREET), AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. I GOT THIS CAR 4 MONTHS AGO, BOUGHT IT USED WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS. NOW I SEE THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM ON MANY CHEROKEES, AND I'M SO DISAPPOINTED THAT FCA HAS NOT LOOKED INTO FIXING THIS ISSUE. I WILL HAVE TO TAKE TO A DEALER.

A PIN FELL OUT OF THE SHIFTER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING IT TO MALFUNCTION

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE MESSAGE SERVICE TRANSMISSION. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLEARED THE CODE THEN TEST DROVE IT BUT WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE CODE. THE CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME AND GONE SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS INCIDENT. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS WE ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ARE IN 7TH OR 8TH GEAR.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT. COMES ON PERIODICALLY. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT DOES NOT CHANGE IT AT ALL. STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING CAR AND HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. I'VE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND DONE REGULAR MAINTENANCE, NONE OF WHICH HAVE HELPED THE SITUATION. I HAVE NOT HAD THE SHIFTER SERVICE YET BECAUSE THE LIGHT EVENTUALLY GOES AWAY. HOWEVER I'M VERY WORRIED.

MY CAR STARTED UP FINE THEN I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND MY CAR LITERALLY STOPPED AND DIED . I TURNED THE KEY AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START UP . I WAITED AGAIN AND IT STILL WOULDN'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY SO I HAD SOMEONE USE JUMPER CABLES I WAITED A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND MY CAR STARTED UP . THEN THE NEXT DAY I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP THEN MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD WHEN THE OIL GETS TO LOW THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DIES THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS , THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT'S VERY COMMON IN MY TYPE OF JEEP. SO I'VE BEEN CHECKING MY OIL AND EVERY 2 DAYS I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR BECAUSE I'M SCARED THAT MY CAR WILL STOP ON A MAJOR HIGH WAY .BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE OIL IS GOING IN MY CAR .

SINGLE CLICK HEARD FROM BRAKE AREA AT THE END OF BRAKING. DOESN'T HAPPEN IF YOU TURN OF STABILITY CONTROL OR PUT INTO SNOW OR SPORT MODE. DEALERSHIP CANT FIND REASON FOR LOUD CLICK. ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED, HAPPENS ABOUT 50% OF TIMES BRAKING.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING COMES UP ON THE DASH PERIODICALLY. BEEN HAPPENING OVER THE LAST YEAR. SOMETIME IT'S A FEW DAYS OR MONTHS BEFORE IT COMES BACK ON. CONTACTED LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHO SAID NOT TO BRING IT IN UNTIL THE WARNING IS CONSISTENT. ALSO, DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN'T CHECK THE WARNING UNLESS IT'S ACTIVE. THE WARNING GOES AWAY IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. WARNING HAS COME ON WHILE BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. SEARCHED NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND IT APPEARS ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS? SEEMS LIKE NO ONE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON AND MY SHIFTER WHERE THE R AND D ARE LIGHT UP RED. IT HAPPENS WHEN EVER I TURN THE CAR ON IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS THEN IF I SHUT MY CAR OF IT GOES AWAY AND COMES BACK

I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE GETTING READY FOR WORK WHEN A MESSAGE READING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' APPEARED WHILE THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTING SETTINGS LIT UP. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT'S BEEN A COMMON THING HAPPENING TO OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS. I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY, STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOW I CAN'T GO TO WORK UNTIL IT IS FIXED BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED THAT IF I DRIVE AROUND TOO MUCH A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE MAY OCCUR.

JEEP WILL BE IN DRIVE. I WILL BE DRIVING. IT WILL STOP AND GIVE WARNING THAT VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE PUT IN PARK BEFORE IT CAN BE PUT IN DRIVE. BUT SHIFTER HAS BEEN IN DRIVE FOR A WHILE AND I HAD BEEN DRIVING. IT WILL LOSE POWER FOR NOW REASON. LIKE IT IS DOWNSHIFTING BUT MY FOOT IS ONE THE GAS PEDDLE. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES BOTH ISSUES.

I WAS DRIVING HOME IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. MY POWER STEERING UNEXPECTEDLY CUT OUT AND THE CHECK ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR WITH THE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER STEERING I DROVE OFF THE ROAD UNTIL I COULD BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AS THIS OCCURRED AND GOING FORWARD AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE ERROR APPEARS TO BE AROUND THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM. BROUGHT TO GARAGE NEXT MORNING VIA TOW TRUCK. CAR WAS BEHAVING NORMALLY. ALL WARNING LIGHTS OFF AND STEERING FUNCTIONAL. SHOP CHECKED GROUNDS, POWER AND A WIRING HARNESS AND COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE FOR THE STEERING TO CUT OUT LIKE IT DID AS THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THERE WERE MULTIPLE ERROR CODES IN THE SYSTEM REGARDING LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST MODULE. DUE TO THE RANDOM NATURE OF THIS INCIDENT AND THE INCONCLUSIVE DIAGNOSTICS I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CAN AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND COULD CAUSE A MUCH MORE SEVERE ACCIDENT IF I'M GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE STEERING CUTS OUT OR DRIVING IN WINTER WEATHER.

FIRST THIS JEEP USES OIL FAST. I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN THE CAR WAY BEFORE IT'S DUE TO BE CH AGED. THE CAR WILL STALL AND STOP AND HAVE NO POWER. IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HWY AND WOULD NOT GO. I HAD TO CUT IT OFF AND BACK ON IT WOULD GO ABOUT 500 FEEL AND DO IT AGAIN. NOW THIS JEEP HAS LEFT ME STRANDED A FEW TIMES. IT JUST WOULD NOT CRANK. REPLACED BATTERY IN KEY FOB AND STILL NOTHING. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN AND FLASH CODES. IT TOLD ME TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION ABOUT 54000 MILES AND WOULDN'T GO. BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY UPDATED IT BUT THOSE PROBLEMS ONLY FIXED IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON DASH DISPLAY AND ALL GEAR LIGHTS LIT UP RED. *TR

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE PAST YEAR. HAD IN 6 MONTHS AGO AND THEY TOLD ME IT JUST NEEDED A "SOFTWARE UPDATE". NOW 6 MONTHS LATER THEY SAY IT NEED A NEW SHIFTER AN WIRE HARNESS FOR $500. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ORIGINALLY SINCE IT'S THE SAME ISSUE AND NOW NOT UNDER WARRANTY. INTERNET HAS MANY COMPLAINTS FROM THIS KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS SQUEALING AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. MANY TIMES WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT STOPS. THE VEHICLE WILL BE IN DRIVE AND WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS TO GO IT JERKS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZZARD BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A TIME WHERE IS WILL NOT RESPOND AND STRANDS ME. *TR

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4 X 4 OVERHEATED BURSTING 2 COOLING HEATER HOSES, DRAINED OUT ALL THE ANTIFREEZE COOLANT. MECHANIC HOPES THAT HEAD GASKET WILL BE THE ONLY DAMAGE OTHERWISE CAN RUIN THE ENGINE AND THAT WILL CAUSE A ENGINE REPLACEMENT WHICH WILL BE A VERY HIGH COST. *TR

CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, NOT EVEN PUT IT INTO PARK. WAS GOING 70MPH. *TR

OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR, MY BATTERY HAS DIED (OCT), MY HARSH COLD START NEEDED REPLACEMENT (NOV), MY RADIO COMPLETELY DIED AND COULD NOT BE UPDATED (DEC) AND RECENTLY WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS AND BY FAR THE MOST CONCERNING IS THAT MY JEEP WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOPPING FOR ONLY A MINUTE. THIS IS NOT SUE RO LOW OIL OR ANYTHING OF MY OWN DOING. IT WILL TELL ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEN INTO GEAR. YESTERDAY WAS THE MOST CONCERNING AS IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND NOTHING WORKING, STEERING, LIGHTS NOTHING AT ALL ON THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK BUT MY KEYS WOULDN'T EVEN BE RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER WHO THEN STATED THEY CAN'T FIND A CODE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, THE OIL IS PERFECTLY FINE AND THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BC IT COULD BE ANYTHING. I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS IS ELECTRICAL IN SOME WAY AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF SOME KIND AS I HAVE FOUND 100S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME CAR AND SAME ENGINE TYPE. IT IS DANGEROUS THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT PUTTING A RECALL ON WHATEVER IS GOING ON OR AT LEAST TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS ALL JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRADE THIS CAR IN OR GET ANOTHER ONE WITH MY FINANCIAL SITUATION AND MY ENTIRE BUSINESS IS RUN OFF OF ME DRIVING. I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED AS IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN A BLIND CURVE WHERE PEOPLE FLY THROUGH AT OVER 55 MPH. I HAD TO HAVE AN OFFICER COME AND SIT BEHIND ME I WAS SO SCARED AS THE CAR WOULD DO NOTHING AT ALL!!!! I HOPE IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT THEIR FAMILY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND KNOWS TO SUE CHRYSLER FOR EVERYTHING WHEN AN ACCIDENT RESULTS IN SOMEONE'S DEATH!!! *TR

DRIVING ON A BUSY FOUR LANE WITH HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND THE DISPLAY STATES SERVICE TRANSMISSION. YOU CAN PUSH THE ACCELERATOR CLEAR TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR CREEPS NOT MORE THAN 25 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR IF IT IS LEVEL, IT JUST DROPS OFF! YOU CAN'T PULL A HILL. IT IS LIKE GETTING RUN OVER. CARS AND TRUCKS ARE ALL OVER YOU! ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF THEN START IT AGAIN. IT OPERATES AGAIN, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. WE WERE TOLD BY THE OWNER OF A TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT IT SEEMS LIKE A SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING ISSUE. WE CALLED JEEP AND WERE TOLD TO SUBMIT OUR VIN TO SEE IF THERE IS RECALL. THERE ISN'T A CURRENT RECALL FOR OUR VIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!! WE LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND AN ARTICLE ON A SITE CALLED CARSCOOPS.COM THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT WE EXPERIENCED. FOR 2014-17 CHEROKEES LIKE OURS. PLEASE HELP. WE DON'T HAVE THE FINANCES FOR A LARGE TRANSMISSION REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DANGEROUS, IT IS A 2016 THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ARE ALL RED,P,R,N,D. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING WHERE THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND COME BACK ON ABRUPTLY. I HAVE PULLED OVER TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER NOTIFICATION IS CLEARED, AND DOES NOT COME BACK ON FOR A EXTENDED TIME OF 3-4 DAYS THEN COMES BACK ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED A MESSAGE TO PLACE GEAR SHIFTER IN PROPER GEAR. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHWEST CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (19616 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE PICKED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 23,000. *LN*JB

'SERVICE SHIFTER' IS DISPLAYED, MEANING I CANNOT USE ANY OF THE IN VEHICLE CONTROLS OR USE THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION FEATURE OR SEE WHAT GEAR I AM IN. IT'S AN AUTOMATIC BUT HAS THE MANUAL OPTION. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE EFFECTED BY THIS, NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ASAP OR GROUNDS FOR A CLASS ACTION IF NO ACTION IS TAKEN. *TR

THIS JEEP HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. WHEN WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT I DIDN'T THINK THAT IT COULD BE DUE TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION AND POOR TRANSMISSION OPERATION. AS THE LAST 2 YEARS HAVE GONE SINCE THE ACCIDENT, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS A CLEAR RESULT TO THE POWERTRAIN FAILING. WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE OR COUGH BEFORE IT MOVES. ONCE IT DOES THE RPMS SHOOT TO HIGH. WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC THE CAR SHAKES AS IT STAYS IN GEAR TO LONG, OR DOESN'T SHIFT TO THE PROPER GEAR AT THE PROPER TIME MAKING THE RIDE VERY WHIP LASH LIKE. ASIDE FROM THAT THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL SO FAST I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 2000 MILES. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 39K MILES AND I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET RID OF THIS CAR. IT IS UNSAFE AND A TRUE EXAMPLE WHY I NEVER LIKED JEEP/CHRYSLER IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MOPAR BRAND AGAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I GOT A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE. I WENT AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT AUTOZONE. IT CAME BACK WITH ERROR CODE P0887- TCM POWER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF BUT I AM NOTICING A DECREASE IN THE ACCELERATION POWER AND AT TIMES THE VEHICLE ACTS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL, I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN DRIVE AND IT SLOWLY STARTED DRIVING. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE ENGINE KEPT STALLING WILL DRIVING. THE OIL WAS BONE DRY! *TR

EVERYTHING IS FINE EXCEPT WHEN MY CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE THEN IT SAY SHIFT TO P TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. PLEASE NOTE I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED.

WHILE DRIVING AN ALERT ON THE DASH SAID TO SERVICE SHIFTER AND ALL THE LIGHTS BY THE SHIFTER ITSELF ILLUMINATED. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE WARNING WENT AWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE TUES.5/26/2020,WE WERE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT,WHEN I ACCELERATED TRANSMISSION ACT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL,SO I LOOKED AND IT WASN'T IT SLOWLY ACCELERATED AND AS WE CONTINUED THE DASH WENT DARK,WHEN IT CAME BACK,THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HAD ERROR CODE STATING AIRBAG NEEDED UPDATE.I GOT HOME AND TRIED CHECKING TRANSMISSION AND NOTICED,A COMPUTER INSTEAD OF STICK SO I RESEARCH PROBLEM AND FOUND RECALLS ON YEAR AND TYPE VEHICLE.WHEN I CALLED TO CHECK AND DESCRIBE MY SYMPTOMS I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WASNT ON RECALL.I WAS WONDERING HOW EXACT YEAR,MAKE,AND MODEL OF VEHICLE ON RECALL,BUT EVEN THOUGH MINE IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL!! *TR

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP POSITION HEARING A HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS I TURN BACK TO THE RIGHT TO STRAIGHTEN UP IT GOES AWAY,,VEHICLE ONLY HAS 19K. *TR

MY DASH IS DISPLAYING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND MY LIGHTS BY MY SHIFTER ARE ALL LIT UP BESIDE THE REVERSE. IT BEGAN DOING IT ONLY IN REVERSE BUT NOW, 9 MONTHS LATER, IS DOING IT AT ANY GIVEN POINT. I DID A SCAN ON IT AND IT SAYS HAS TO DO WITH THE 'TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE' AND 'ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE'. *TR

VEHICLE SHIF TO PARK WHILE DRIVING. ALL ELECTRICAL INDICATOR ON. VEHICLE CURRENTLY AT HUDSON VALLEY DODGE JEEP IN NEWBURGH NY. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN THERE MORE THAN 2 MONTH WITH ALL SPECIALIST AND THEY CANT RESOLVE THE ISSUE ITS NOT SAFE. CONTACT HQ FOR CHRYSLER JOHN THE CASE WORKER 8002479753 EXT305012. PLEASE RESEARCH BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILL, THEY ARE CASE BEING REPORTED ON YOUTUBE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CAR WAS TOOL SAME DAY THEY CLAIM ISSUE WAS RESOLVE THE CAR WAS TOLL BACK WITH GEAR ENGAGE ON DRIVE WITH INDICATOR ON PARK. PLEASE CONTACT US AT (917)517-0921

ENGINE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF EVERYTIME I MAKE A SHARP RIGHT TURN. *TR

THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF 2 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. CURRENTLY THE CAR WILL NOT START AND NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. HAVE TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP TWICE ONLY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

AT RANDOM TIMES I WILL GET AN ERROR ON MY DASH BOARD WHERE THE ELECTRIC SPEEDOMETER SHOWS AND IT SAYS "SERVICE SHIFTER". ALSO, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER (P,R,D, ETC) TURN ON IN RED. I WILL NOT GO AWAY BY PRESSING THE OK BUTTON. IT WAS NOT HAPPENING A WHOLE LOT, JUST FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT LATELY LIKE THE PAST WEEK OR SO IT HAS BEEN TURNING ON MORE AND USUALLY GOES AWAY IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, TAKE OUT THE KEY AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT. THE LATEST WAS YESTERDAY, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT TODAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 65-70MPH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR STARTED TO LOSS POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP HARD CAR ACCELERATED SLOWLY. WE TURNED OFF CAR FOR A WHILE AND RESTARTED IT ACCELERATION CAME BACK BUT CHECK LITE ON. NEXT DAY NO LITE AND CAR WAS FINE TOOK IT IN AND DEALERSHIP RAN A QUICK TEST COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 4 DAYS LATER AFTER DRIVING 3 HRS AT 65 MPH AND THE NEXT DAY IT WAS FINE. *TR

GEARS ARE CLUNKING WHEN BEING SHIFTED FROM ANY GEAR. *TR

AS I'M DRIVING, A DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THAT SAYS 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND ALL THE LIGHTS INDICATING WHAT GEAR I'M IN COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK AND I'VE BEFORE ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, TWICE ON A CITY STREET (45MPH) AND ONCE ON A HIGHWAY (65MPH). EACH TIME THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO CLEAR THE MESSAGE. *TR

WHENEVER ENROUTE THE CAR BATTERY OR WHATEVER THE ISSUE MAY BE ELECTICALLY WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL, RENDERING THE VEHICLE DEAD. EVEN WITH TURNING OFF THE CAR AND STARTING IT, THE PROCESS TAKES THREE TO FOUR TRIES. ITLL HAPPEN RANDOMLY SOMETIMES AT LIGHT INTERSECTIONS, MAKING TURNS, EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS EVEN AFTER OIL CHANGE AND TWO BATTERY EXCHANGES. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TWICE, ONCE GOING THROUGH A LIGHT DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, AND THE SECOND WAS PASSING ON THE OVERPASS. THERE HASNT BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES YET BUT THERE HAS BEEN A VAST AMOUNT OF CLOSE CALLS.

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY LOST POWER. LIGHT ON DASHBOARD INDICATED SOMETHING WITH TRANSMISSION. DEALER INSPECTED AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG MECHANICALLY. IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN REAR ENDED. IF NOTHING WAS WRONG MECHANICALLY, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE LOST POWER. A NOTIFICATION WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SUITABLE. CARCOMPLAINTS WEBSITE HAS 50 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2016 CHEROKEE DYING OR LOSING POWER FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE COMPUTER. EVERYONE OF THEM STATES HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS WHILE IN TRAFFIC.

PURCHASED MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 BRAND NEW WITH 3 MILES. IT NOW HAS 71,000 MILES, WHEN COMING TO A STOP, CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND A MESSAGE READS ACROSS THE SCREEN "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR" I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART AND THE ENGINE HESITATES TO START BUT AFTER A MINUTE OR SO IT RESTARTS. I TURN A CORNER AND SHUTS OFF AGAIN WITH MESSAGE "BLIND SPOT ALERT UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" TOLD THIS IS DUE TO OIL BEING VERY LOW WITH AN OIL CHANGE IT SHOW SOLVE THE SHUT OFF PROBLEM. IT'S AT DEALERSHIP NOW JUST WAITING BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DUE TO ANOTHER PROBLEM I'M HAVING WITH HARD SHIFTS, LUNGING, AND REPEATED ILLUMINATION OF DASHBOARD AND RADIO LIGHTS SHUTTING OFF. TOLD IT POSSIBLY NEEDS A SYSTEM UPDATE. WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SYSTEM UPDATE BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED HOWEVER I READ IT HAPPEN PRIOR TO 2016. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IF IT HAPPENED AFTER MY WARRANTY? ALSO A/C IS NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME. IT WILL SHUT OFF AND THEN AT TIMES WHEN I TURN A CORNER IT WILL SHOOT BACK ON. HAS SOMETHING TO DUE WITH A/C BLOWER. I'VE LITERALLY HAD THIS JEEP 3 YEARS I HAVE NEVER EVER HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH OTHER VEHICLES, NEW OR USED AS I'VE HAD WITH THIS ONE.

THE BACK AXEL OR SOME GEAR THA MAKES A LOUD SOUND OF MISS GEAR WHEN TURNING.

"SERVICE SHIFTER " RANDOMLY LIGHTS UP ON CONTROL PANEL WHEN DRIVING. YOU NEED TO STOP AND SHUT OFF VEHICLE TO MAKE IT GO AWAY. OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN JUST STARTING FROM STOPPED POSITION.

STARTED HAVING SERVICE SHIFTER CODES AT APPROXIMATELY 30K. WOULD BE REPAIRED & AFTER ABOUT 8 WKS IT WOULD THROW THE SAME CODE. REPEATED THE SAME CYCLE 2 ADTL TIMES. TOOK A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES TILL THE ENTIRE SHIFTER, MODULE & WIRING WERE REPLACED. AT 40K MILES MY JEEP DIED ON ME GOING DOWN A HILL. HAD TO COAST DOWN HILL & FIND A HALFWAY SAFE AREA OFF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD NO ABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE. THE ELECTRONICS WOULD COME ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WOULD BE SOLID & THE SERVICE SHIFTER ALERT CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE ADVISER WALKED ME THRU HOW TO RESET THE CAR. WAIT FOR 5 MINUTES. TURN THE KEY ON & LET IT CYCLE. TURN THE KEY OFF. REPEAT THE PROCESS 3 X'S TILL IT STARTS. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD THE THERMOSTAT MODULE & THE RADIATOR. NEITHER OF WHICH WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SAME TIME I ALSO HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE. 2 1/2 MTHS LATER SAME ISSUE. DIE GOING DOWN A HILL. AGAIN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOLD THAT IT WAS A SENSOR & WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE THIS TIME. I HAVE NOT REPLACED ANY PARTS ON IT YET. THE THERMOSTAT MODULE & THE RADIATOR ARE STILL THE SAME AS THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THEM IN. 8 WEEKS LATER SAME ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL AUTO REPAIR IN TOWN SINCE THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR 2 WEEKS & THE JEEP WAS LEAVING ME COASTING FOR A SAFE SPACE TO PULL OVER IN TRAFFIC. WITHIN 2 MINUTES THEY DISCOVERED JEEP WAS 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. THE ENGINE WAS LOSING OIL PRESSURE & WAS SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE TO KEEP IT FROM DAMAGING THE MOTOR. SINCE THEN I'VE TRIED TO SCHEDULE SERVICE WITH TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT USING 2-3 QUARTS EXTRA OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS NORMAL & THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING.

THE VEHICLE SAYS 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIGHT UP. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I HAD THE OIL CHANGE, BUT IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, I PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT GOES AWAY, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.

SERVICE SHIFTER COMES ON DASH AND ALL LIGHTS ON PRNDL COME ON / DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I CAN PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE-LATITUDE HAS 89000+ MILES ON IT. A FEW MONTHS AGO I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND BOUGHT FLUID FOR IT. COULDN'T FIND AN ACCESS POINT, SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP. GUY TOLD ME IT WAS A "CLOSED TRANSMISSION". TOOK IT IN THE BACK AND CLAIMED TO DO AN UPDATE. AFTER THAT, AN ERROR MSG BEGAN POPPING UP SAYING "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFT PANEL WERE RED. AFTER THIS BEGAN HAPPENING MORE I CALLED THE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE WHERE THEY HINTED IT MAY BE A RECALL. NOW DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $375 TO FIX IT. I'M READING FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS NO FIX, BUT KEEPS CHARGING PEOPLE. ONE GUY SAID HIS ACTUALLY STOPPED ON HIM ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE STREET AND THE HIGHWAY, EVENTUALLY STOPPING, SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON. I'M GOING TO CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIX IT. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY AN OVERSEER OF AUTOMOBILE SAFETY. I HOPE THAT IS YOU. I DON'T WANT TO BE A CRASH TEST DUMMY. PLEASE PRESSURE CHRYSLER ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE IF IT ISN'T ALREADY. NO PARTICULAR DATE, BUT LAST TIME WAS 4/15/2020 @ 4:30 ISH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2106 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 25 MPH WHEN THE FRONT WHEEL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DROP TO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE ROAD GRAZING A TREE UNTIL IT STOPPED. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE SUSTAINED BRUISING ON HER CHEST, EYES, ARMS AND SUFFERED A CONCUSSION. THE DRIVER WAS UNCONSCIOUS UNTIL WAS PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCREEN AND IT WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V284000 (POWER TRAIN) WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. *DT*JB

SERVICE SHIFTER CAME ON AND ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFT PRND WERE ALL LIT UP

I BOUGHT MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE FROM A CARMAX ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO WITH ABOUT 30K MILES ON IT. A FEW MONTHS LATER, MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON. I STARTED DRIVING AND NOTHING WAS HAPPENING, BUT THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SOON AFTER AND AFTER TURNING OFF AND ON THE CAR A FEW TIMES IT DISAPPEARED. IN THE PAST MONTH OR TWO I HAVE HAD THIS LIGHT COME ON MANY TIMES. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEES FROM 2016-2017 AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS MONTHS AFTER IT HAS BEEN SERVICED. I AM GOING TO BE TAKING MY JEEP IN TO BE SERVICED BECAUSE OF THIS WARNING AND WILL MONITOR CLOSELY IF/WHEN THE WARNING REAPPEARS.

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AN ERROR CODE CAME ON THE SCREEN THAT STATED 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND AT THE SAME TIME ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WERE LIT UP ALL RED. THE CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AND THEN TURNED ON A FEW MINUTES LATER WITH THE SAME CODE ON THE SCREEN AND LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE SHIFTER.

FOR THE PAST YEAR MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHIFTING HARD AND I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT'S NORMAL. I'VE HAD SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGES POP UP AND ALL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE RED ON THE SHIFTER. I ALSO HAVE A SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM MESSAGE AND THE 4WD IS IN OPERABLE. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 58000 MILES ON IT. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST YEAR WITH NO RESOLUTION. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN SOLD A LEMON.

TRANSMISSION MISSES WHEN IT IS BOTH UP AND DOWN SHIFTING. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. CAR BALKS WHEN GOING UPHILL AND TRANSMISSION STRUGGLES. WHEN YOU ARE GOING DOWN HILL AND LIFT YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE TRANSMISSION BALKS AND STRUGGLES SHIFTING DOWN.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE ALL RED LIGHTS NEXT TO THE SHIFTER COME ON AND A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER, THE CAR DROPS OUT OF DRIVE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. I SOMETIMES CAN RESET IT BY SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING BUT THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK AND THE CAR THEN HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO BE PUT IN SOME VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. WHAT IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN BEING ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSING ALL FORWARD MOTION.

CAR SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING! LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION! DEALERSHIP EXPLANATION IS THAT THE OIL IS LOW AND CAR IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IF THE OIL IS LOW. I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND NO OIL LIGHT EVER CAME ON. MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME AND THAT THIS ENGINE BURNS A WHOLE QUART OF OIL PER 750 MILES!!!

THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL ISSUES AT ONE TIME ON 5/16/2017 (MILEAGE 32779). THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, NEW, 5/2016. THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE HAD BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS IT WAS ON WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY COME FROM THE BATTERY BEING BAD AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE BAD BATTERY. AFTER A CALL TO JEEP CUSTOMER CARE, JEEP AGREED TO PAY TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT NO COST TO ME. THIS WAS 7/12/2017 AND THE SHIFTER ISSUE WAS NOTED AGAIN ON THIS SERVICE ORDER. 4/2018, A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS PUT OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT UNTIL 12/2019. AFTER RESEARCH AND THE DISCOVERY OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE JEEP CHEROKEES PRODUCED BETWEEN 2015 AND 2018. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 3/12/2020 TO GET ANOTHER ISSUE FIXED AND ASKED THEM TO REPAIR THE SERVICE SHIFTER PROBLEM, NOW THAT THEY KNEW HOW TO FIX IT. THEY WOULD ONLY FIX IT IF I PAID FOR IT. I, AGAIN, CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE FOR ASSISTANCE, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS TIME THAT THE MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I BROUGHT THIS TO THEIR ATTENTION DURING THE BATTERY ORDEAL IN 5/2017. THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THEM DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD (AS WITH THE BATTERY). ORIGINALLY, JEEP TECHS DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS OR HOW TO FIX IT WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEM IN 2017. BUT JEEP IS NOW AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HOW TO FIX IT BUT WON'T UNLESS I PAY FOR A REPAIR THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DO, AT THE TIME, BUT ARE ABLE TO DO NOW.

WHILE IN MOTION: IF THE 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE DRIVES OVER A SLIGHT BUMP, VARIOUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WILL LOSE POWER AND A WARNING LIGHT WILL APPEAR ON DASHBOARD SCREEN -- MOST OF THE TIME THE SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING WILL DISPLAY; AND OTHER TIMES, THE SCREEN POWER WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IN ADDITION, WHILE IN MOTION, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ALL POWER, THE STEERING LOCKS UP, DECELERATES AND ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND START IT AGAIN.

THERE IS A WATER LEAK I CAN'T FIND EVERY TIME IT RAINS THE PASSENGER FRONT AND BACK FLOOR ARE FLOODED BUT THE SEATS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS DRY

BOTH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY WOULD SEEM TO GLITCH OUT WHILE OPERATING AT VARYING SPEEDS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. SEEMS TO LOSE POWER FOR VERY BRIEF SPURTS.

WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION IN SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN AND SEEMS TO TURN OFF AND THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND IT STATES TO PUT CAR IN PARK. I'M UNABLE TO MOVE CARE AND STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOCKED

I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND JUST THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR (2020) I HAVE HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMING ON WHILE GOING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH. BOTH TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE LIGHT JUST COMES ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY SHIFTER PANEL LIGHT UP. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF THEN RIGHT BACK ON THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL STAY ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I'VE CONTACTED SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY TELL ME THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A FORWARD DIRECTION WITH THE TRANSMISSION SET TO D THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES ALL FORWARD DRIVE AND BEHAVES AS IF TRANSMISSION IS IN NEUTRAL. APPLYING THROTTLE INCREASES ENGINE RPM BUT AS NO EFFECT ON FORWARD PROPULSION. THE 'D' NORMALLY ILLUMINATED ON SHIFTER CHANGES FROM SOLID TO FLASHING AND A MESSAGE MAY APPEAR IN THE DASH CONSOLE. ONE RECENT MESSAGE READ SOMETHING LIKE ' REDUCE SPEED TO 0 AND SHIFT INTO PARK'. THESE SPONTANEOUS EVENTS OCCUR UNDER A WIDE VARIETY OF DIVING CONDITIONS; FORM ROLLING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR CITY STREET DRIVING, TO FULL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE CAN GO DAYS OR WEEKS BETWEEN EVENTS OR PRESENT SEVERAL IN THE SAME DAY. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I'VE HAD TO SUDDENLY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC FROM HIGHWAY DRIVING LANES TO A SHOULDER WHERE I COULD STOP AND CYCLE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER FROM D TO N AND BACK TO D THEN REJOIN TRAFFIC.

ALL LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON THE SHIFTER AT THE SAME TIME. ERROR MESSAGE COMES UP ON THE DISPLAY THAT SAYS TO SERVICE SHIFTER. TURN CAR ON/OFF AND EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. ALL THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON SHIFTER. CAR KEEPS SOUNDING LIKE IT'S REVVING ON ITS OWN. AND ALSO CAR KEEPS FEELING LIKE BRAKES TRYING TO SLOW DOWN CAR BY ITSELF, AND THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHILE IT SOUNDS LIKE REVVING AT SAME TIME.

MOTOR BLEW UP AT 72000 MILES, SMOKE FILLED INTERIOR OF VEHICLE MAKING NAVIGATION IMPOSSIBLE AND REAR TIRE WAS PUNCTURED BY MOTOR PARTS CAUSING VEHICLE TO LEAVE ROADWAY, INFORMED FIAT/CHRYSLER OF THE ISSUE OF MOTOR FAILING TO CYCLE OIL CAUSING MAJOR FAILURE OF COMPONENTS, THEY ARE AWARE OF ENGINE ISSUES YET REFUSE RESPONSIBILITY. MOTOR REPLACED AT COST OF 6,300. NO WARRANTY ON VEHICLE.

ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL BURNING UP AND SCOLDING THE CYLINDER WALLS. OIL CHANGE AND GUARANTEED 3000 MILES. LESS THAN 1000 MILES LATER ALL OIL GONE AND CYLINDER WALLS SCORCHED. NO LEAKS AT ALL THE CAUSE THE MISSING OIL. EVERY 1000 MILES DEALER HAVING TO TOP OFF OIL UNTIL NEXT OIL CHANGE.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WITH THAT..THE LIGHTS NEXT TO THE PARK, DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND DRIVE LETTERS ALL TURN RED. I'M TAKING IT TO A DEALERSHIP THIS SATURDAY AND I KNOW THAT IT WILL COST ME. I HAD MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR 1 AND 3 YEARS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED. MY CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RAINING ALL WEEK AND I DIDN'T WANT TO GET OUT INTO THE RAIN TO LET MY TWO KIDS INSIDE. I DROVE IT ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED. I READ THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING. SOME SAY THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE LIKE THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND OTHERS SAY THEY HAVE TO KEEP PAYING TO HAVE IT 'FIXED' BUT THE PROBLEM WITH KEEP HAPPENING. ALSO MY VEHICLE HAD A MISFIRE ON THE 2ND CYLINDER AND MY VEHICLE KEPT JERKING TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT BUT WE ALSO PAID TO GET THAT 'FIXED'. I GOT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I NEEDED SOMETHING RELIABLE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY AROUND IN AND IT'S CAUSING ME MORE HEADACHE AND NOW I HAVE TO WORRY IF MY KIDS ARE SAFE TO RIDE WITH ME IN IT.

AT ABOUT 20K MILES, A WARNING ON THE DISPLAY POPPED UP THAT SAYS, "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL OF THE GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ALL LIT UP. THIS HAPPENED TWO TIMES, ONCE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND ONCE WHILE IT WAS PARKED. AFTER THOSE TWO TIMES, IT STOPPED AND DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL NOW. THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED AT 45K MILES AND IS HAPPENING A LOT. WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE I'M MOVING, THE ENGINE REVS UP REALLY HIGH. WHEN I'M PARKED AND IT HAPPENS, I HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON BEFORE I CAN SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT PROVIDED A SOLUTION.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING ON DASH WITH ALL RED LIGHTS NEXT TO ALL GEARS ON SHIFTER. AS SOON AS I PUT IN DRIVE, THE WARNING CAME ON AND ALL LIGHTS LIT UP. WILL NOT RESET BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.

JEEP BEEN CUTTING OFF ALOT, BUT CAN RECRANK, LIGHTING BOLT COMES UP WHEN DIES, NOW GETTING WORSE AND LIGHTNING BOLT STAYS ON. LOOKING UP WHAT IT MEANS, SHOWS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE. JUST CUTS OFF NO WARNING, REGARDLESS HOW OR EHETE YOU AT DURING DRIVING.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE APRIL 6, 2019. IT REPEATEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR AND COMES TO A STOP.THE SRVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO HERB CHAMBERS JEEP IN MILLBURY MA. 4 TIMES AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED ON APRIL 22,2020 THE CHARLTON MA. POLICE RESPONDED AND HAD TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND MY CAR TILL IT WAS TOWED. I DO HAVE A POLICE REPORT WITH 3 PICTURES IF NEEDED. THIS WAS ON RTE 20 IN CHARLTON WHILE MOVING.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING APPEARS IN MAIN CONSOLE DISPLAY WHICH REPLACES YOUR DIGITAL SPEED INDICATOR. WILL NOT DISAPPEAR UNTIL YOU STOP AND RESTART CAR. HAPPENS WHILE MOVING. AFTER GOOGLING THE ISSUE APPEARS QUITE A FEW OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. IS JUST DISTRACTING IF YOURE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH YOUR CURRENT SPEED SUDDENLY REPLACED WITH A WARNING. AS PER OTHERS ON GOOGLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.. HAD TO HAVE THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS REPLACED.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE WITH SOLID RED LIGHTS ON SHIFTER PANEL (P-R-D, ETC.). WHEN VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED MESSAGE DISAPPEARS. THIS SITUATION OCCURS RANDOMLY AND HAS HAPPENED ROUGHLY 10 TIMES IN LAST SIX MONTHS. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT NON HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

'SERVICE SHIFTER' APPEARS ON DASH. ALL LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON SHIFTER PRND

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DIFFICULTY WITH STOP/START FEATURE ON VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE BATTERY, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THE SOFTWARE. NEEDED TO BE UPDATED *JS THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE CABIN FILTER WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE CONSUMER WAS UNAWARE THAT THE CABIN FILTER EXISTED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. *JS

I CONTINUE TO GET ERROR ON DASH THAT READS "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL OF THE GEARS LIGHTS, LIGHT UP. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE HAD THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AND HOUSING UNIT REPLACED. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND IT HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN GEAR ON AT LEAST 2 OCCASIONS. THIS IS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 46K MILES WHICH I HAVE HAD FOR 14 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS REPLACED, WAS AFTER HAVING THE JEEP FOR 3 MONTHS, THEN HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, HAD ASSEMBLY REPLACED A SECOND TIME, AND IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME TO HAVE IT REPLACED AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED DUE TO IT SLIPPING AND GETTING STUCK IN GEARS. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST TURN THE CAR ON, AND WILL RESET ITSELF IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. ON 2/28/20, IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE DAY BOTH WHEN PARKED AS WELL AS WHEN I AM DRIVING, WHICH IS CONCERNING.

MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF SINCE I PURCHASED IN MARCH 2019

AT ANY GIVEN TIME, WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND USUALLY WHEN SWITCHING GEARS, THE SHIFTER MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING AN INTERRUPTION IN MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, I HAVE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY!

TODAY A MESSAGE CAME ON IN MY MESSAGE WINDOW ON THE DASH THAT THE SHIFTER NEEDS TO BE SERVICED AND ALL THE SHIFTER LIGHTS CAME ON ALONG WITH IT. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE ALREADY HAD 2 RECALLS, BATTERY REPLACEMENT, AND TRANSMISSION THERMOSTAT REPLACED ON IT. IT SUCKS THAT THESE COSTS HAVE HAD TO COME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET BECAUSE MOPAR/ JEEP HAS MADE SUCH A LEMON OF A CAR. I'VE HAD TO HAVE TOWED TWICE SO FAR.

SERVICE SHIFTER CODE WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW SHIFTER HARNESS AND BEZEL COSTING ME $462 +TAX. THE MESSAGE BOARDS SHOW NUMEROUS JEEP OWNERS HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH BRAND NEW JEEPS. THE GRAND CHEROKEE HAS ISSUED A RECALL AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE REGULAR CHEROKEE HASN'T YET.

GEAR SHIFTER SERVICE WARNING

I KEEP GETTING THE SERVICE THE SHIFTER MESSAGES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPT TO MOVE FROM A STOPP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN AUDIBLE CHIME WAS HEARD WHILE THE BATTERY FAILURE WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRED MARTIN SUPERSTORE 3195 BARBER RD, BARBERTON, OH 44203 (330) 753-4444, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW AND THAT IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT AN OIL CHANGE BE PERFORMED. THE OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,527.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE RANDOMLY COME ON WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON AND AS OF TODAY WILL NOT TURN OFF COMPLETELY. THEY CAN BE SLOWED TO AN INTERMITTENT POSITION OR RUN AT FULL SPEED BUT WILL NOT TURN OFF.THIS BEGAN TO HAPPEN ONLY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, NOW THEY ARE ON WEATHER DRIVING OR IN PARK, AND ONLY STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE IN TURNED OFF.

WHILE DRIVING IN CRUISE, GOING 70 MPH DOWN A HIGHWAY, MY JEEP DISPLAYED AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE SHIFTIER" AND ALL MY GEARS LIT UP RED. THIS IS MY 2ND JEEP AND THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR. THE CAR IS UPDATED WITH ALL OIL CHANGES AND MECHANICAL WORK AND HAS NEVER GIVEN ME A SCARE. JUST HOURS AFTER THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED, I TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT AT MY LOCAL AUTO ZONE AND EVEN WITH A SECOND OPINION FROM A WORKER WHO USED TO WORK FOR CHRYSKER, THEY COULD NOT SEE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BUT ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE SEEN 5 OTHER TIMES THIS YEAR WITH NEWER JEEPS THAN MINE AND SOME SIMILAR TO MY MAKE AND MODEL. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO KNOWN SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE BUT TO DRIVE WITH CARE BECAUSE THIS ISSUE COULD LEAVE ME IN A SITUATION WHERE I AM UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK OR WHERE MY GEARS SHIFT ON THERE OWN. I AM AT A TOTAL LOSS AS TO HOW TO FIX THIS OR WHAT IS EXACTLY WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFT ALL TURN RED. I PULLED OVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF DROVE AGAIN AND ALL THE LIGHTS TURN RED AGAIN REPEATED THE PROCESS AND AND IT TURNED ON AGAIN. CALLED THE DEALER THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM LOOKED IT UP AND SAID THAT THE SHIFT NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED BUT THEY SAID IT IS OK TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HIGH BEAMS FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM COLONIE AUTO REPAIR & SERVICE CENTER DEALER, LOCATED AT 2116 CENTRAL AVE, SCHENECTADY, NY 12304, WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000. *DT*JB

ON FEB 6, 2020, I WAS GETTING READY FOR WORK WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY JEEP HAD A MESSAGE APPEAR ON THE DASH BOARD REGARDING SHIFT SHIFTER. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX WHEN MY CAR STOPPED OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR STOPPED AND THE MESSAGE APPEAR WHILE STILL ON DRIVE. WHEN I LOOKED OVER THE SHIFT SHIFTER, THE PRND WERE ALL LIGHTEN UP IN RED. I HAS CAUSING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED.

I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE END OF NOVEMBER 2016. ABOUT 1 YEAR INTO OWNING THE CAR, A CURIOUS NOTE BEGAN TO POP UP READING "SERVICE SHIFTER." WHEN THIS INITIALLY HAPPENED, I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO JEEP DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THE RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS THAT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS MAKING THE NOTIFICATION COME ON AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT. I IGNORED THIS FOR THE TIME BEING. IN THE NEXT YEAR, THE MESSAGE MUST HAVE SHOWN A MINIMUM OF 20 TIMES, IN 2020 IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND LEFT ALONE FOR HOURS, THE MESSAGE WILL NOT APPEAR AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN AS I'VE DRIVEN IN COLD WEATHER, HOT WEATHER, OFF ROAD, SMOOTH ROAD AND THERES NO CONSISTNENT BEHAVIOR THAT CAUSES THE NOTIFICATION OF SERVICE SHIFTER. OFTEN TIMES THE MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR AND THE SHIFTING IN AUTOMATIC MODE WOULD BE LESS SMOOTH AND TRANSITION WORSE THAN WITHOUT THE MESSAGE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT SHOWED AND EACH TIME I GET THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP; "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT MAKES THIS MESSAGE APPEAR," "WE CAN'T MAKE IT APPEAR WHILE ITS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP" "WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS MESSAGE BEFORE" "THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO". IT IS CONCERNING THAT OVER THIS 3.5 YEAR PERIOD, THERE IS NOT DIAGNOSIS OR THE ISSUE OR ANY UNDERSTANDING OF IT. I AM SUBMITTING THIS MESSAGE TO ENSURE THERE IS A DATABASE FOR JEEP OWNERS WHO RECEIVED THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" NOTE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE EMERGENCY BREAK CAME ON WITHOUT WARNING HALTING THE CAR IN MOTION . CAR DID NOT SLOW . CAR LOCKED UP. UNABLE TO PUT IN NEUTRAL . REQUIRED FLATBED TOW. NO PROVIDED NO PRIOR WARNING

A SERVICE SHIFTER SOON WARNING COMES ON AT RANDOM AND BLOCKS THE SPEEDOMETER WHILE DRIVING. IT CLEARS WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND WILL RANDOMLY RETURN.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WHEN I WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO WAS HEADED THE TOWARDS ME. I SUSTAINED MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE IN A COLLISION AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED, AND NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE OTHER VEHICLE A CHRYSLER PACIFICA, SUSTAINED LESS FRONT END DAMAGE AND BOTH OF THEIR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH TO SPIN MY CAR COMPLETELY AROUND SO I WAS FACING THE OPPOSITE WAY AND ENDED UP FACING THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE CAR THAT HIT ME.

WE HAVE TAKEN OUR JEEP IN COUNTLESS TIMES SINCE OBTAINING IT BRAND NEW IN 2016 FOR A SERVICE SHIFT ISSUE. THEY REPLACED OUR THERMOSTAT THE FIRST TIME THEN WIRING HARNESS TO THE TRANSMISSION/BCM THE SECOND TIME SINCE THEN THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED WITH OUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE. EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS OUR JEEP HEATS UP PAST 220 DEGREES AND STARTS TO RUN ROUGH.

'SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE KEEPS POPPING UP ON THE DASH, ACCOMPANIED BY ALL GEAR LIGHTS IN RED. USED TO STOP AFTER POWERING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN. I'VE SEEN THAT SO MANY OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL? SO UNFAIR FOR THOSE OF US OUTSIDE OF A WARRANTY.

WHEN I START MY CAR, THE DASH SAYS 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND THE ' P R N D' ALL STAY LIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH/ MONTH AND A HALF. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT. IF I RESTART MY CAR, IT SEEMS TO GO AWAY FOR THE TIME BEING.

TRANSMISSION SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT WENT AWAY. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. HAD THE SHIFTER AND WIRING HARNESS REPLACED ONCE BEFORE. THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME THE SHIFTER AND HARNESS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FIRST TIME HAPPENED AT 17,330 MILES. SECOND TIME AT 21,000 MILES.

APRIL 2019 SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE KEPT GOING ON AND OFF TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS CHARGED TO REPLACE SHIFTER BEZEL KIT AND JUMPER WIRING. THEN IN JANUARY 2020 THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE CAME ON AND OFF AGAIN AND WAS NOW CHARGED TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER.. MESSAGE ALWAYS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WENT OFF WHEN TURNED ENGINE OFF. I SE AS ARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UNEXPECTEDLY INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65 MPH). WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL. THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY IS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY AND SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I'VE TAKEN IT TO DEALER AND THEY'VE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND STATE THAT THERE IS A TRANSMISSION RECALL AFFECTING THE 2014-2015 MODELS, NOT MINE WHICH IS A 2016. THE LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP LOOKED UP THE CODE P0887 (TCM RELAY), BUT STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT WORK ON IT BECAUSE OTHER 2016 JEEP CHEROKEES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUE COMING BACK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, EVEN AFTER GOING SO FAR AS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND RELAY. HE RESET THE CODE, BUT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED A DAY LATER AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65MPH) AND I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED AS I STALLED. APPROX 4 DAYS LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65 MPH). I NOW DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON MAINLY SURFACE STREETS AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE CLOSE CALLS I'VE HAD WITH MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. MY MODEL IS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 2WD 2.4L 4-CYL ENGINE.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THEN AGAIN ON STREET. THE "PRND" LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP AS WELL. VEHICLE RETURNS TO NORMAL AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF IT, AND IF LIGHT/WARNING IS NOT ON THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, AN AUDIBLE CHIME WAS HEARD AND A MESSAGE STATING SHIFT TO PARK DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. A CASE WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

WHEN I START MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE AND PUT IT IN 1 SEC GEARKL ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY SHIFTER LIGHT UP AND STAY LIT. A MESSAGE ON MY DASH BOARD SAYS "SERVICE SHIFTER". I TRIED TURNING THE JEEP OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON BUT ALL THE LIGHTS STILL STAY ON.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR LOCALLY I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WHEN ACCELERATING AND IT FEELS LIKE THE FUEL PUMP/FUEL INJECTION IS NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY. THE PROBLEM STARTS AT 20MP / 40 MPH AND AT TIME AT 60MPH. I HAVE BROUGH IT BACK TO ALLEN MELLO IN NASHUA WHERE I HAD BOUGHT THE JEEP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN'T GET FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE HOOKED UP MACHINE TO SEE THEY CAN GET A CODE AND NO CODE IS BEING DETECTED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE NOVEMBER 2019 AND I HAVE ABOUT ENOUGH. I KNOW THEY IS A JEEP RECALL ON FUEL PUMP AND I AM CERTAIN THAT MY JEEP WAS MISSED. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER WITH THE JEEP. I CALLED THE JEEP RECALL TODAY 1-27-20 AND THEY ADVISED ME TO NOTIFIED NHTSA REGARDING THIS MATTER.... THEY ALSO SAID LIKE I STATE ABOVE MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE PROBABLY WAS MISSED TO BE ON THE RECALL.

BACK ON JULY 2019 MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WAS BROUGHT TO ALLEN MELLO SERVICE DEPARTMENT DUE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND IT WAS SHAKING. AFTER THEY DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE (THEY REPLACED OIL FILTER HOUSING, DRAINED & REFILLED OIL AND ADJUSTED COOLANT LEVER, "ROCKER ARM/LIFTER NOISE PRESENT AT IDLE. REPLACE RIGHT BANK AND LEFT BANK INTAKE & EXHAUSE CAMSHAFTS, LIFTGERS, AND ROCKER ARMS) I SPENT $3,301.05 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER MY WARRANTY OR CHRYSTER SHOULD HAVE PAID 1/2 OF THE BILLED. SHOULD SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALLED OR WAS THIS VEHICLE MISSED TO BE ON RECALL SAFETY LIST. THIS WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE LIKELY IT WAS FIXED. BUT I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSAED FOR ALL OR HALF OF THE BILLED. SEE INVOICE ATTACHED.

THANKFULLY, AFTER READING A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FROM THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY, WE WERE STILL IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN REVERSE AND STARTED TO BACK OUT WHEN WARNING CAME UP TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN SELECT GEAR. SO PUT IN PARK AND PUT INTO DRIVE TO PULL BACK INTO DRIVEWAY WHEN WARNING CAME ON TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 54000 MILES ON IT. READING OF A LOT OF PEOPLE HAS THIS SAME ISSUE, SOME WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE

SERVICE SHIFTER DASHBOARD MESSAGE AND THE P. R. N. D. LIGHT UP RED OFF AND ON, THREE TIMES SO FAR WITHIN A SIX MONTH PERIOD WHAT DO WE DO? JEEP DEALER AND HEADQUARTERS MAINTAINS NO COMPLAINS HAVE BEING FILED THE PROBLEM HAPPENS DURING CAR MOVING

FOLLOWING DAY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH . DEALERSHIP CONTACTED AND VEHICLE BROUGHT IN FOR INSPECTION. DEALER CONCLUDED THAT ENGINE HAD NO OIL, ALTHOUGH INTERNAL INDICATORS FAILED TO ADVISE AND SHOWED VEHICLE HAD 60% OIL LIFE REMAINING AND 3000 MILES UNTIL SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. DEALER ADVISED THAT VEHICLE IS KNOWN TO BURN OIL, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3X ALREADY. THE JEEP CHEREOKEE MANUAL STATES OIL CHANGES SHOULD BE DONE EVERY 8,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN GETTING MY OIL CHANGES WAY BEFORE THE STATED REQUIREMENT OF 8000. THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ENGINE. I HAVE A 10 MONTH BABY AND I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN AND STALLS. IAM SO SCARED FOR MY LIFE EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS ALL I HAVE . I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW!! MY ENGINE IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.

A MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE SHIFT" APPEARED IN THE MESSAGE BOARD AND RED LIGHTS CAME ON NEXT TO ALL SHIFTS, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY ON MY DRIVE TO WORK.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE AND RED LIGHTS LIT BY GEARS ON SHIFT. IN MOTION. STARTING IT UP. ALL THE TIME

CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF ON RAMP. NO CONTROL BECAUSE CAR TURNED OFF.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND STALLS SHOWING SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING MESSAGE.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE WITH SOLID RED LIGHTS ON SHIFTER PANEL(P-R-D, ETC.). MESSAGE DISAPPEARS WHEN VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS SITUATION OCCURS RANDOMLY AND HAS APPEARED APPROXIMATELY 6-8 TIMES IN LAST SIX MONTHS. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IN IN MOTION AND AT NON HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

ABOUT 13 MONTHS AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING APPEARED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. IF SO, NOT TO WORRY. THE WARNING APPEARED AGAIN ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER AND CONTINUES TO POP UP RANDOMLY EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT MAY BE A GLITCH THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD FIX, BUT HASN'T BEEN FIXED WITH UPDATES SO FAR. I JUST ROLLED OVER 36,000 MILES SO THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD THE SAME WARNING APPEARED TODAY. I'M CONCERNED THAT NOW THE ISSUE WILL REQUIRE A MAJOR HARDWARE REPLACEMENT THAT THEY WILL RECOMMEND NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. ONE OF MANY ISSUES WITH THIS JEEP. MY FIRST AND LAST TIME BUYING A JEEP.

KEEP GETTING A NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS "SERVICE SHIFTER" DASH LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER THAT LIGHT UP RED P,R,N,D. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THIS IS A PROBLEM, BUT IS NOT A RECALL. I'VE DONE SOME HOMEWORK TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS IN FACT A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP AND HAS BEEN ONGOING. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! AT FIRST THIS THE SERVICE SHIFTER WOULD APPEAR AFTER MY JEEP WAS STARTED AND GO AWAY ONCE I RESTARTED IT AND WOULD NOT APPEAR AGAIN. NOW THE "SERVICED SHIFTER " IS STAYING ON AND NOT ALLOWING ME TO SEE ANYTHING ON MY DASH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOTIFIED ME TO GET IT TO COME OFF I MUST PAY A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE PART. 2 OTHERS WHERE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE AT THE SAME TIME I WAS, AND AS YOU COULD IMAGINE NONE OF US WERE HAPPY TO LEARN THIS WAS NOT A RECALL. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES OF THE FAULTY GEAR SHIFTERS IN THESE JEEPS!!!!! AT FIRST THE NOTIFICATION CAME ON AT START UP, BUT NOW COMES ON WHILE DRIVING!!

WHILE IN DRIVE THE JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT (PREMIUM PKG) CAR CUTS OFF IN STREET 3X AND HWY 4X AND ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. CAR ALSO LOSES POWER/SPEED WHILE IN DRIVE AND ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN MAKING A TURN. CAR LOSES SPEED AND DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON BUSY HWY OR STREET.. BOUGHT CAR NEW WITH 16 MILES ON ODOMETER FROM CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER. MANUFACTURE WARRANTY EXPIRED 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM. MILEAGE 63,000 MILES. I HAVE AN EXPENSIVE EXTENDED DEALER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER SAYS ENGINE WILL BE REPLACED W/ NO DEDUCTIBLE AND NO ADDL CUSTOMER COST ACCORDING TO DEALER WARRANTY.. OIL GASKETS BLOWN ALSO WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE RECORD AT CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER.. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE AN EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO REPLACE AN ENGINE FOR A CAR UNDER 5 YEARS OLD. CAR HAS ONE DRIVER 62 YRS OLD, NO ACCIDENTS NO TICKETS IN 15 YEARS THIS IS AWFUL FOR A 3.25 YEAR OLD JEEP!! CAR HAS BEEN AT JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT SINCE DEC 31, 2019 FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THEN WENT TO TAKE A LEFT AND MY CAR SHUT OFF. I GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO START IT,WOULD NOT START. I THEN WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND CALLED TOW TRUCK AND THEY BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP FOUND OUT IS BURNING OIL ONLY HAD 35;698 MILES AND WHEN THE CAR GETS DOWN TWO QUARTS OF OIL THESE CARS WILL SHUT DOWN WITH NO NOTICE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. NO DASH LIGHT COMES ON.

ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO WHILE DRIVING THE CAR CHIMED AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE SHIFTER" APPEARED ON THE SCREEN ALONG WITH ALL LIGHTS NEXT TO SHIFTER TO LIGHT UP RED. THE VEHICLE HAS TO TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO RESET. NOW THE SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THE OVER THE AIR UPDATE. EXTREMELY IRRITATING AND SCARY THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THANK GOD I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT LIKE OTHER REPORTS HAVE NOTED. JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT!!!

THE CAR DASHBOARD KEEP SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER. THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING ANYTIME ON ALL ROADS AND PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ARE ALL RED,P,R,N,D. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND PRODUCT FLAW. NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS MOSTLY IN THE MORNING AND AFTER MAKING A TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND EVENING. COULD BE A CRANKING ISSUE AS IT HAPPENS MOSTLY WITHIN A HALF HOUR OF STARTING. EVERY INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING HAS BEEN ON A STREET AND WHILE ACCELERATING IN MOTION. BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WILL SHUT OFF.

LEAKING DURING HEAVY RAIN PASSENGER ( NOT WHEN DRIVING ) SIDE FRONT AND REAR FLOOR BOARDS

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT APPEARS WHILE DRIVING OFTEN; I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY FINDING RESULTING IN A SOLUTION TO THE ERROR (AS IT DISAPPEARS AND COMES BACK ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS). OFTEN WHEN THE SERVICE SHIFTER APPEARS IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JOLT OR NOT SHIFT

WHEN DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE THE VEHICLE HAS DIED OUT COMPLETELY ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A DING NOISE FOLLOWED BY A MESSAGE ON MY DASH BOARD THAT SAYS PUT CAR IN PARK THEN SWITCH INTO GEAR, WHEN I AM ALREADY IN DRIVE AND DRIVING THEN THE CAR STOPS AND THE BRAKES AND STEERING LOCKS UP COMPLETELY THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHES THEN THE WHOLE DASH GOES BLACK. THEN I HAVE TO TRYING TURNING IT OVER A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT WILL FINALLY START WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON OR ANYTHING AFTER IT JUST LOCKED UP AND DIED. THIS VEHICLE HAS DIED SEVERAL TIMES ON ME WHILE TURNING RIGHT, WHILE JUST DRIVING, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THIS HAPPENING AS FAR AS CODES THAT CAN BE BROUGHT UP OR ANYTHING BUT WHEN HE TEST DROVE IT THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM HE MADE A RIGHT ON 12-31 AND THE CAR SAID PUT CAR IN PARK THEN SELECT A GEAR THEN WENT BLACK AND THEN IT TOOK A FEW TIMES FOR THE CAR TO TURN OVER AGAIN, BUT YET AGAIN TURNING ON WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING AFTER, BUT COME TO FIND ONLINE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS NOT ADDRESSED AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO SOLUTION BESIDES BEING IN CONSTANT FEAR THAT YOU CAR IS GOING TO DIE OUT ON YOU. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE THERE ARE LIVES TAKEN. I HAVE A TWO YOUNG TODDLER DAUGHTERS THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN OUR 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE IN FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES!

SIMILAR TO OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE YEAR MODELS, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, EITHER BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND GEAR OR 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS RIDE WITH MY 2 CHILDREN IN BACK AND THE CAR BASICALLY STOPS WORKING AND CARS IN BACK OF ME HAVE TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES SO TO NOT RUN INTO ME. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, WHETHER CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES OR JUST STARTED.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING. ALL GEARS ON SHIFTER ARE LIGHT RED. P R N D

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE CENTER DISPLAY AND IS LOCK IN PLACE, NOT BEING ABLE TO SCROLL THROUGH THE MENUS ANY LONGER. NEXT TO THE SHIFTER ALL LIGHTS FOR SHIFTER POSITION ARE ILLUMINATED AND YOU CANNOT SEE WHICH GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN ANYMORE FROM LOOKING DOWN AT THE SHIFTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES MOSTLY WHILE IN MOTION BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY. THE MESSAGE INCLUDING ALL OTHER INDICATIONS CAN GO AWAY WITH A FULL SHUTDOWN.

DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY 60 MPH. LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES, FORWARD WARNING COLLISION AND OTHER CONTROLS. LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE CRASH INTO THE EMBANKMENT. ALMOST ROLLED THE VEHICLE. DEALER STATED STEERING MODULAR FAILED AND REPLACED STEERING RACK AND PINON SYSTEM. DEALER STATED 12 ACTIVE COMPUTER CODES SHUT DOWN ALL OF ABOVE FUNCTIONS. DEALER STATED COMPUTER STEERING COMPUTER MODULE FAILED CAUSING STEERING AND OTHER FUNCTIONS TO FAIL.

APPROX. 68,000 MILES, OWNED FOR 3 YEARS, REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION. VEHICLE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS TURNS TO NEUTRAL AFTER THE FIRST FEW RIGHT TURNS. GEAR SHIFTER AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL AFTER THE CAR'S WARNING SYSTEM READS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION. TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER MUST PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT, HOWEVER THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHES. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN AS MANY WEEKS, ALL WHILE IN TRAFFIC. WHEN TAKEN TO JEEP DEALERSHIP MECHANIC, NO CODE SHOWS UP ON OBD. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, MANY OWNERS OF JEEP WRANGLERS, (AS WELL AS LATITUDES) HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE IS A CONSENSUS IT MAY BE A RESULT OF A POORLY IMPLEMENTED FAILSAFE THAT JEEP INSTALLED WHEN THE ENGINE OIL IS LOW. ALLEGEDLY, ON JEEPS WITH CERTAIN ENGINES (2.4L) THEY BURN OIL AT A HIGHER RATE THAN WHAT THE ONBOARD COMPUTERS CAN GAGE. IT APPEARS THAT JEEP DEALERSHIPS FEIGN IGNORANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WHEN OTHER OWNERS HAVE PRESSED THE JEEP CORP., THEY SAY THEY MAY ISSUE A RECALL IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN. HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/JEEP/CHEROKEE/2019/ENGINE/ENGINE_SHUT_DOWN.SHTML

I WAS SENT A RECALL FOR MY NAVIGATION TO UPGRADE, I WAS SENT A FLASH DRIVE FOR THE UPGRADE AND IT DIDNT WORK. I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE PAPERWORK AND THEY SAID TO HAVE THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP DO THE UPGRADE BECAUSE THE FLASHDIVE WAS NOT WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDNT DO THE UPGRADE BUT FOR 400 DOLLARS THEY COULD FIX MY USB PORT SO THEY COULD UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE AND THEY KEPT THE RECALL PAPERWORK SO NOW I DONT HAVE THE NUMBER TO CALL AND TELL THEM IT'S NOT DONE AND WHEN I ENTER MY VIN IT SAYS ALL RECALLS ARE FINISHED.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING PERIODICALLY COMES ON AND GOES OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. WHEN WARNING COMES ON DASHBOARD I AM UNABLE TO CLEAR IT SEE ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT SCREEN

I HAVE THE 2.4L IN MY CHEROKEE. THE SAME AS OTHER JEEP MODELS AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT THIS ENGINE LINE HAS. JEEP JUST SHUT OFF AND HAD TO RESTART. NO WARNING OR LIGHTS ON DASH TO INDICATE LOW OIL. I HAD JUST A DROP OF OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. ONLY DROVE JUST OVER 5000 MILES. DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL TO BURN OIL AND FCA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT WILL NOT REPAIR. THEY SAY ABOUT 70% OF THE 2.4 ARE AFFECTED ACROSS ALL MODELS. WITH ALL THE ISSUES I SEE ON FORUMS AND SOCIAL MEDIA IT SEEMS SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE WE GET TO THE THRESHOLD OF UNACCEPTABLE ACCIDENTS AND DEATH. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE AT A FCA DEALER. HARD TO BELIEVE IT JUST STARTED TO BURN OIL.

SPEEDOMETER READING IS OFF... CAUSED SPEEDING TICKET, BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS SPEEDING BECAUSE OF THE SPEEDOMETER READING WAS OFF. OFFICER SAID HE CLOCKED ME AT 94 MPH IN 70MPH, THOUGHT I WAS GOING 73....IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY

THE TWO FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE WAS HIT INTO A CEMENT DIVIDER ON FREEWAY WHILE GOING 65TO 70 MPH. FLIPPED ROLLED 5TO6 TIMES ON ALL SIDES OF CAR LANDED ON THE TOP AND THE FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAUSING INJURY TO DRIVER AND PASSENGER

WHILE DRIVING 30MPH IN LIGHT TRAFFIC SUDDENLY AND OUT OF NOWHERE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE COMES ON HUD. VEHICLE HAS 24K MILES ALL THE RED LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON SHIFTER COLUMN. AFTER RESEARCHING HUNDREDS OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE SAME ISSUE. WIRING HARNESS SHORT AND ENTIRE FLOOR SHIFTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PROBLEM REPEATS FOR MANY PEOPLE. SOME HAVE HAD TO BRING CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES WITH RECURRING PROBLEM - SHOULD BE A RECALL

'SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE CAME ON & ALL RED LIGHTS ON SHIFTER TREE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY NO LESS! IT DOES HAPPEN ANYWHERE. 2016 JEEP AWD LATTITUDE. THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER AND WIRING HARNESS ONCE ALREADY. A FEW MONTH LATER IT CAME BACK ON. TOOK IT IN AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BUT IT IS STILL COMING ON.

VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. CODE SHOWS THERMOSTAT STUCK OPEN. AT ~40,000 MILES. REPAIR WAS OVER $700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED "SERVICE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY" AND A HUMMING NOISE EMERGED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO MORIAN CHRYSLER JEEP (374 SIEMERS DR, CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO 63701) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MORIAN CHRYSLER JEEP (374 SIEMERS DR, CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO 63701) THREE OTHER TIMES FOR ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

I WAS STOPPED ON A BUSY MAIN ROAD IN MY TOWN, TO MAKE A LEFT INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MY JEEP CHEROKEE STALLED. THE DASH LIT UP WITH PUT IN PARK AND RESTART CAR. I PUT IT IN PARK AND THE CAR RESTARTED. I DROVE TO MY HOUSE AND PARKED THE CAR. I HAD TO USE MY OTHER CAR TO GO TO WORK BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY IF I DROVE MY JEEP CHEROKEE.

ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION WITH FOOT ON ACCELERATOR (TRAVELING ~10MPH). . LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. NOTICE APPEARED ON DASHBOARD ABOUT SHIFTER. TRIED TO POWER ENGINE BACK ON TO NO AVAIL. WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN.

I WAS IN A CAR WRECK ON NOV 21ST AND HIT MY FRONT END AT 65 MPH. MY SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR I HIT HOWEVER HAD THEIR FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOY AND I HIT THEIR REAR END. *LN*JB VIN NUMBER XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 7 MONTH AGO. I TOOK A TRIP TO DALLAS TEXAS IN IT, ON THE DRIVE THERE THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND ALL WAS WELL. I HAVE CONTINUALLY HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COME ON, AND HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE SERVICE AND THEY CAN FIND A PROBLEM. JUST IN THE LAST 5 DAYS THE SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR HAD COME ON 12 TIME.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 38,000 MILES AND THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING ASSEMBLY IS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2015/2016 CHEROKEES BETWEEN 30,000 AND 40,000 MILES. VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON OCCURRENCE, SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL? IF IGNORED, THIS COULD LEAD TO SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE.

DROVE CAR FOR ONLY 2-3 BLOCKS AFTER SITTING 8 HOURS WHILE AT WORK (FIRST TIME 11/12/19 - OUTSIDE TEMP IN THE 30'S) AND THE SECOND TIME OVERNIGHT IN UNHEATED GARAGE (11/23/19 - OUTSIDE TEMPS IN THE 30'S), WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT A STOPLIGHT TO ENTER ON TO A MAJOR ARTERY (FIRST TIME) AND A STOP-SIGN TO ENTER ONTO A RESIDENTIAL STREET (SECOND TIME) THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. BOTH TIMES CAR WAS NOT "WARMED-UP" BEFORE DRIVING. CONTACTED A LOCAL CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALER WHO GOT US IN FOR CHECK-UP 11/27/19 AND EVENTUALLY SAID THE ENGINE OIL WAS BELOW THE DIPSTICK AND IF THE OIL GETS TOO LOW THE ENGINE WILL GET HOT AND TO PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE DESPITE US TRAVELING FOR THE PAST 4 SUMMERS APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES FROM KANSAS CITY TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK AND BACK, AND THE SUMMER OF 2018 TO YELLOWSTONE, SEATTLE AND BACK (TOTAL OF OVER 5000 MILES AND EACH TIME NOT GETTING ANOTHER OIL CHANGE FOR OVER ANOTHER MONTH TO 5 MONTHS OF CITY DRIVING ONCE WE GOT BACK HOME. THE LAST OIL CHANGE WE HAD BEFORE THESE TWO INCIDENTS REFERENCED ABOVE WAS ON JULY 19, 2019 AND THE MILEAGE WAS 53191. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR NOW IS 56916. TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THAT WE'VE PROBABLY DRIVEN ABOUT 150 MILES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT UNTIL RIGHT NOW, THAT MEANS WE'RE "DOWN" 1 QUART/1800 MILES. RESEARCHING "GOOGLE", THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CHEROKEE OWNERS OF 2016 OR OTHER YEAR MODELS OF THE SAME ISSUE. THEY SAY JEEP FEELS 1 QUART OF OIL USED/1000MILES OF DRIVING IS ACCEPTABLE. EVEN SO, MY CONCERN IS WHY MY VEHICLE IS SUDDENLY EXPERIENCING THIS POWER LOSS AND OIL USAGE WHEN FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS (PURCHASED CAR 10/31/2015) IT HAS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE. ONE OIL CHANGE MILEAGE WAS OVER 7500 MILES AND YET WE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE OIL LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON TO WARN OF LOW OIL PRESSURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2019. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WIPER ARMS MALFUNCTIONED. THE FAILURES BEGAN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,934.

SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR COMES ON- SOLID RED LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE SHIFTER IN EVERY GEAR. COMES ON EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. CARGURUS HAS SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO NOT REALLY KNOW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS, REPLACING ENGINES, TRANSMISSIONS, SHIFTERS- ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM COME BACK FOR THESE FOLKS. CLEARLY, A RECALL IS IN ORDER. I AM CONCERNED IF I TAKE MINE IN, I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHERS, PRICE GOUGED- WITH NO REAL SOLUTION. HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE FEED OF PROBLEMS: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T68742_DS947921

FAULTY ENGINE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. ENGINE PISTON BLOWN AT 54K, ON BRAND NEW 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE, AND CONSEQUENTLY REPAIRED UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. FCA AND DEALERSHIP DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH AND ATTEMPTED EVERYTHING TO AVOID THE REPAIR UNTIL I OBTAINED LEGAL COUNSEL. THE VEHICLE STILL RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE BEING OPERATED WHICH MAKES IT A DANGER TO ALL. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID STEMMED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WOULD GET "STUCK" IN A PARTICULAR AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO "JUMP" WHILE ATTEMPTING TO IDLE DOWN. LASTLY, THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO EFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. NEVERTHELESS, THIS IS ANOTHER PROBLEM ADDED TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE IS TRASH AND NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY RECALLED. SHAME ON FCA FOR SELLING THIS VEHICLE WITH A TON OF DEFECTS. SHAME ON ANY AUTHORITY THAT DOES NOT INVESTIGATE THE CLAIMS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE, OR DOES IT TAKE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT TO GATHER YOUR ATTENTION.

CEI P0128 COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO COLD. NO OVERHEATING ISSUES, TEMPS HAVE REMAINED CONSISTENTLY. CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THERMOSTAT NEEDS REPLACING IN ONLY 4 YEARS FROM PURCHASE. TEMPS HAVE ONLY BEEN HOVERING AROUND FREEZING.

MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE OCCURRING WHILE DRIVING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEPARTURE. MUST PLACE CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. RESTART VEHICLE NO FURTHER ISSUES. DOES NOT TYPICALLY REOCCUR WITHIN A FEW DAYS. 1-6 WEEKS BETWEEN OCCURRENCE. NO ERROR MESSAGE, NO ISSUES NOTED BY MECHANIC. CONCERNING FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE APPROX. 58,000 MILES BEGAN SHUTTING DOWN WHILE EXITING THE PARKING GARAGE, STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND STEERING AND ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS LOST. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTIC WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND TO BE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN AGAIN BEGAN DISPLAYING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH COMPLETE SHUT DOWN. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION ON THIS WEB SITE AND OTHERS, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE DUE TO THE BUILT IN KILL SWITCH TO PROTECT THE ENGINE WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS INDEED LOW. PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH ALL RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. JEEP/CHRYSLERS SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM-CHECK YOUR OIL MORE OFTEN! THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS-NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS BUT TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROADS AS THE VEHICLE STOPS WITH NO WARNING AND COULD CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF OF THE ROADWAYS

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR MONTH, AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. WHEN IDLING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND CAN'T BE TURNED BACK ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. DASHBOARD AND TOUCHSCREEN GO BLACK AND CAN'T EVEN TURN ON HAZARDS TO ALERT PEOPLE BEHIND YOU.

EVENT 1 (NOV 2019) WAS PASSING A CAR, GOING 68 ON FREEWAY, GOT INTO RIGHT LANE BACKED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO SLOW A BIT AND THE CAR STAYED IN "PASSING GEAR" REVVED UP HIGH ON THE TACH. AND WOULD NOT COME BACK DOWN UNTIL I TOOK MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS. EVENT 2 (NOV 18, 2019) STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, APPLIED GAS TO GO AND IT WENT NOWHERE. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING FAST, BUT I WAS NOT IN GEAR. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD WITH TWO QUICK HOPS A COUPLE OF TIMES THEN WENT INTO GEAR. EVENT 3 (NOV 20, 2019) GOING SLOW IN A PARKING LOT THE CAR JUST DIED ON ME. NO REASON. THIS JEEP HAS ONLY 28,000 MILES ON IT. IT SHIFTS HARD!! ACTUALLY GOES INTO GEAR AT TIMES SO ROUGH THAT IT MAKES ME LUNGE FORWARD, IT JERKS A LOT WHILE GOING SLOW LIKE IT'S NOT IN THE RIGHT GEAR. I AM GOING TO JEEP TOMORROW TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, BUT AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS, I SEE WHERE I MIGHT BE IN FOR A LONG HAUL.

CEI P0128 COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO COLD. HAVING TO REPLACE THERMOSTAT ON A CAR ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. TEMPS HAVE NOT BEEN BELOW FREEZING & DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE LAST WINTER. THERMOSTAT IS STUCK OPEN SO GAS CONSUMPTION HAS INCREASED & HEAT HAS DECREASED.

MY REAR GLASS WINDSHIELD BURST WHEN HEATING UP USING REMOTE START. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING WITH JEEPS AS WELL AS FORD TRUCKS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS ENGINEERED FAULTY.

IN MY CHEROKEE THE SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR CAME ON. ALL THE POSITIONS ON THE SHIFTER LITE UP (P,R,D AND THE + -) THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I LOOKED AT SEVERAL OTHER COMMENTS ON LINE. I WAS LEAVING A DRIVE IN AND WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE EVERYTHING TURNED RED AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER ILLUMINATED IN MY MESSAGE CENTER. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I HAD A ISSUE RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. IT WAS STUCK IN PARK AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 2000 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 83000 MILE ON THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH AND HEAVY TRAFFIC, ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR. ONCE I REACHED AROUND 40MPH AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE I FELT KNOCK AND SHAKING. THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO REV, HOWEVER NO ACCELERATION OR SHIFTING WOULD HAPPEN. IT BEGINS TO SPUTTER AND FEELS AS THOUGHT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO SHUT OFF.

ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS (3 SO FAR) THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON. BY SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION THE PROBLEM WOULD CLEAR. ON NUMEROUS OTHER OCCASIONS I GOT A "CHECK TRANSMISSION" ...UNKNOWN PROBLEM WARNING. THESE WARNING MESSAGES ALL OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER AND A CHECK CAME UP WITH "TRANSMISSION MODULATOR, UNKNOWN PROBLEM" WAS NOTED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE BUT THE MESSAGES CLEARED ON IT'S OWN (2 OCCASIONS FOR THE TRANSMISSION WARNING). THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE WITHOUT THE MESSAGE BEING ACTIVE.

WHEN CAR IS PUT INTO NEUTRAL, THE SPORT SHIFTER MODE IS ACTIVATED AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE, SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH AND ALL PRND LIGHTS APPEAR LIT. DOESN'T APPEAR TO AFFECT DRIVING BUT IS WORRISOME. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 47,000

SERVICE SHIFTER COMES ON AND SHIFTER PRND ALL RED LIGHTS COME ON AND YOU CAN NOT TELL WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN. IT CAME ON ONCE WHEN YOU SHUT OFF THE CARE IT WENT AWAY IT SIS THIS TWICE NOW IT JUST STAYS LIT. UP IN RED.

THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED SEVEN TIMES NOW IN THE LAST MONTH. MOST RECENT WAS ON 11/14/2019. WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) ABOUT 25 MPH IN RESIDENTIAL AREA, JEEP TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP ON DASHBOARD TO "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR" (SEE PHOTO). I AM ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT CAR HAS TO BE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. IT TAKES A COUPLE OF TIRES TO RESTART THE ENGINE. UNKNOWN AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES AND TO LET THEM KNOW IF PROBLEMS CONTINUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I COULD HAVE BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT STALLED AND AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE COULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE.

ENGINE FAILURE WHILE GOING AROUND A BEND. STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND BREAKS WERE NONE FUNCTIONAL. THANK GOD I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15MHP IN TOWN AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COST OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MY DASHBOARD SAID SHIFT TO P (PARK) AND THEN DESIRED GEAR AND THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO RESTART IN PARK BUT JEEP WOULD NOT START. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES MY JEEP STARTED BACK UP AND RAN NORMAL. MY CONCERN IS IF I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK (WHICH I HAVE TO DO EVERYDAY AS I WORK OUT OF TOWN) WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED??? WOULD I EVEN BE WRITING THIS RIGHT NOW? THERE WAS NO WARNINGS, NO LIGHTS ON, NO INDICATION MY ENGINE WOULD FAIL WHILE ENGAGED WHAT SO EVER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN!

WHILE LEAVING MY OFFICE AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED MID TURN. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, NO BATTERY LIGHT APPEARED AND THE DASH ,RADIO AND HEAD LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. A MESSAGE APPEARED IN MY DASH TELLING ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEN SHIFT INTO THE DESIRED GEAR. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART IT 3 TIMES BEFORE IT STARTED AGAIN. NOW THE CAR DOES THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER BEING TOLD BY A PROFESSIONAL THAT THEY CAN'T PIN POINT THE ISSUE.

I JUST PURCHASED THE JEEP A MONTH AGO & IT HAS 43,000 MILES. WHEN THE JEEP IS IN GEAR A "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE POPS UP ON DASH. ONCE IT POPS UP YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR MILES PER HOUR UNTIL YOU PULL OVER, SHUT THE JEEP OFF & RESTART. I WAS PULLED OVER & CITED FOR MY SPEED BUT I HAD NOWHERE TO PULL OF THE HIGHWAY TO. I FEEL LIKE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE MESSAGE ONLY POPS UP RANDOMLY EVERY THREE OR 4 DAYS & EVERYONE I CALL SAY THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS & IT NOTHING COMES UP WHEN HOOK UP CODE READER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN UP A HILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND "SHIFT TO P THEN TO THE DESIRED GEAR" WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT DROVE HOME. GLOBAL JEEP (1099 US-22, NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ 07060, (908) 200-2536) WAS CALLED AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CALL BACK WITH A DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, "SHIFTER SERVICE" LIGHT CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I WAS A LITTLE SCARED AS ALL THE TRANSMISSION LIGHTS CAME ON (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL DRIVE) AND I COULD NOT TELL HOW FAST I WAS GOING. SINCE THE CAR DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE DRIVING ISSUES I CONTINUED THE 20 MILES TO HOME. WHEN WE TURNED THE CAR OFF THE WARNING DID NOT COME BACK ON WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. AFTER CHECKING THIS ISSUE ONLINE I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. AND IT SEEMS THAT JEEP IS NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. JEEP DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS CAUSED BY U1465-00 AND P1C86-1D CODES, AND ARE GOING TO REPLACE SHIFT BEZEL AND HARNESS. MORE THAN A FEW PEOPLE ONLINE SAID THE SAME PROBLEM CAME BACK AFTER THE HARNESS WAS REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT CHANGED THE BATTERY AND NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED VATLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (855 SOUTH, US-1, VERO BEACH, FL 32962, (772) 567-6633) AND AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS COMPLETED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

SHATTERED SUNROOF WHILE GOING 70-75 MPH ON HIGHWAY

WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD INTO GEAR. TODAY WE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WENT TO TAKE OFF THE CAR WENT TO SHIFT BUT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR CAUSING US TO STOP IN THE INTERSECTION ALMOST GETTING HIT. WE HAD TO PLACE IT INTO PARK AND RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT TO MOVE BACK INTO GEAR. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE AND WILL NOT TAKE THE TIME TO DUPLICATE. THEY SHOW NO INTEREST ON TRYING TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, JUST PASSING THE BUCK.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER AND MY DOG WITH ME AND HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 75 MPH. THERE IS A PART OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT DROPS TO 65 MPH SO I SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN TO 64 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY REVVED UP TO 5000 RPMS AND HIT 75 MPH AGAIN. THE CAR HAS BEEN SURGING LATELY BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE WEATHER GETTING COLDER. THE CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY TO 5000 RPMS, I KNOW IS NOT JUST THE WEATHER. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND I HAVE ONLY MADE 1 PAYMENT ON IT ABOUT TO PAY MY 2ND ONE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AUGUST 21, 2019 SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ALREADY. ALSO THERE IS A RATTLING IN THE ENGINE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' LIGHT CAME ON AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ARE ALL RED,P,R,N,D. THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS. THE CAR APPEARED TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING THE LIGHTS WENT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 62 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO BELOW 40 MPH. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SPEED UP. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SLOWLY DROVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. SPITZER MOTOR CITY INC (13001 BROOKPARK RD, BROOK PARK, OH 44142, (216) 267-2100) AND THE MANUFACTURER BATTLED WITH THE CONTACT FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS 200 MILES OVER THE LIMIT. THE DEALER OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS AS LONG AS THE CONTACT AGREED TO A TWO YEAR CONTRACT FOR OIL CHANGE SERVICE. THE CONTACT REFUSED AND THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,250.

THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AS IF IN THE PROCESS OF STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN, WHENEVER THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR ACCELERATING THE STALL LIKE JERKING WOULD OCCUR AGAIN.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS RECENTLY PRESENTED A SAFETY ISSUE. TWICE, IN THE LAST TWO DAYS, THE TRANSMISSION HAS CUT OUT AS I MADE A LEFT TURN. A MESSAGE APPEARED, "PUT IN P TO CHANGE GEARS." LUCKILY, BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED, I WAS TURNING OFF THE ROADS AND INTO A PARKING LOT. IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE. WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. I FEEL THIS IS A DIRE SAFETY ISSUE! BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME SO I IMMEDIATELY DROVE BACK HOME. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE JEEP SERVICE DEPT. TOMORROW. TIME WILL TELL WHAT THEY SAY.

MAKING A LEFT TURN, ENGINE SHUT OFF NO POWER, STATED I MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING (ALL KINDS). WOULD NOT RESTART FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. RAN FINE PRIOR TO THIS. FINALLY RESTARTED AND DROVE DIRECTLY TO DEALERSHIP (ITS ONLY ABOUT A MILE AWAY). EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED THEY HAD NO CLUE WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN BUT THEY CHECKED OIL WHICH WAS VERY LOW (WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE BEFORE). CHANGED OIL AND SO FAR SO GOOD. COMPLAINT - WHY WOULD ENGINE SHUT OFF BECAUSE OF THAT? WHY WOULD A BRAND NEW CAR WITH UNDER 30,000 MILES BURN THAT MUCH OIL? WHY DIDN'T THE INDICATOR TELL ME THERE WAS LOW OIL OR LOW OIL PRESSURE? IF THIS THING BURNS THAT MUCH OIL WITHIN THE ALLOTTED OIL CHANGE TIME - MAY NEED TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE - THIS IS DANGEROUS IF THE CAR SHUTS OFF ON A FREEWAY OR IN BUSY TRAFFIC.

I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND "SERVICE SHIFTER" POPPED UP ON MY DASH AND ALL THE SHIFT LIGHTS CAME ON, THE VEHICLE STILL MOVED AND I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK (APPROX 2 MILES)

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. HAVING TO REPLACE SHIFTER AND SHIFTING HARNESS. WHEN WARNING CAME ON ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND WAS NOT ABLE TO USE SHIFTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED JIM SHORKEY FAMILY AUTO GROUP AT 724-204-2560 (LOCATED AT 13339 RTE 30, NORTH HUNTINGDON, PA 15642) TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I BOUGHT MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE NEW, AT 17,896 MILES, A MESSAGE DISPLAYED "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY SHIFTER WERE LIT UP. A NEW SHIFTER WAS INSTALLED. THEN AT 67,631 MILES, SAME THING HAPPENED THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING. BOTH TIMES, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BUT RUNNING IN A PARKING LOT.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COME ON WITH ALL GEARS LIGHTS ON WHEN DRIVING

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2016. IT'S BEEN SERVICED TWICE AND LAST TIME I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS MY VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND I SHOULDN'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE THIRD REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY SHIFTER.

OVERHEATS TEMP GOES UP TO 240 DEGREES AND THE SHIFTER KEEPS ACTING UP. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIGHT UP IN RED BOTH KEEP HAPPENING ALMOST WEEKLY.

JEEP ONLY HAS ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON IT AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON...IT ILLUMINATES MY ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT RED AND THE NOTIFICATION TAKES AWAY MY SPEDOMETER

WATER COLLECTS IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN OR GOING THROUGH A CARWASH. ELECTRICAL FIRE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE COMPONENTS BEING UNDER WATER. WELDING ISSUE? REFER TO NHTSA RECALL R67. THIS AUTO IS DEMONSTRATING ALL SYMPTOMS BUT THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

MY AIRBAG LIGHTS JUST RANDOMLY CAME ON AND I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR NOTHING HIT ME AND I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR TWO MONTHS AGO.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING CAME ON DASH MONITOR. ALL LIGHTS TURNED RED NEXT TO SHIFTER.

THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHILE DRIVING, AND HESITATES. LOOKS LIKE ENGINE IS SHAKEN. THE DEALER STATES THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

ALL THE RED LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIGHT UP THEN A "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN. WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP YOU CANNOT MOVE THE SHIFTER AT ALL. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS TOTALLY DEAD FROM SOMETHING DRAWING POWER AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIGHT UP AT ANY RANDOM TIME. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING, YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TURN THE CAR OFF TAKE THE KEY OUT WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND THEN START THE CAR AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MORE THAN ONCE TO DO THIS. THE SHIFTER CANNOT BE MOVED WHEN THE RED LIGHT ARE ALL ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW BUT HAS BECOME ALMOST AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE

MY RADIO DOESN'T GET SIGNAL ANYWHERE. I GET ONE STATION AND EVEN IT HAS STATIC. IT'S NOT JUST IN MY HOMETOWN EITHER. WHEN I GO ON TRIPS IT IS NOTHING BUT STATIC AND THEN YOU FIND A STATION EVERY NOW AND THEN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS, BUT IT HAS DONE IT THE ENTIRE TIME SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED. AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASK THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MONEY AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF THAT PROBLEM. NOW AT 56,000 MILES THIS SERVICE SHIFTER CAME ON AGAIN AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

WHILE DRIVE THE POWER SHIFTER MESSAGED APPEARED, EVERY TIME I TURNED THE CAR OFF THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF THEN WHILE DRIVING WOULD COME BACK ON EFFECTING THE WAY THE VEHICLE DROVE. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE A SENSOR NOW MY ENGINE IS KNOCKING AND HARD SHIFTING. I KEPT UP ON OIL CHANGES AND OTHER MAINTENANCE THE CARE IS ONLY AT 44K FOR THE MILES.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON, AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE TOUCHED THE SHIFTER. IT SCARED ME, SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED IT BUT IT WAS IN GEAR. SO I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND THE MESSAGE NEVER CAME BACK ON THAT DAY. SINCE THEN, WHICH WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT HAS COME ON 4 OTHER TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. SPEEDS FROM 40MPH TO 70MPH. MY CHILD DRIVES THIS CAR. SO I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AS SOON AS I SHIFTED INTO PARK, STAYED ON UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF, DID NOT COME BACK ON FOR THE NEXT 20 MILES.

AROUND 76K ON 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT ENGINE THAT MESSED UP GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I QUICKLY EXITED THEN IT SHUT OFF AND DID NOT WANT TO STAY RUNNING. NOW DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ZERO COMPRESSION IN CYLINDERS. I KEPT OIL CHANGED EVERY 3K DUE TO DAILY MILES. IT IS TERRIBLE THAT THE MANUFACTURE CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WITH ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS.

SERVICE SHIFTER SCREEN COMES ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WE GET A MESSAGE IN THE DASH THAT SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER AND THE RED LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WHICH INDICATE WHICH GEAR YOU ARE IN ALL LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME, PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, & DRIVE. IF WE PULL OVER AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IT CLEARS THE ERROR AND STAYS OFF FOR A WHILE. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED OCCURRING, I TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT JOHN L SULLIVAN IN YUBA CITY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT GIVING A CODE SO IF IT WASN'T HAPPENING AT THE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN HE COULDN'T HELP. SO IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING EVERY FEW MONTHS SO I DIDN'T WORRY AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING DAILY AND I AM SURE JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THE SAME EXACT THING. NOT SURE IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD OWN UP TO AND TAKE CARE OF ON THEIR DIME. IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME IT'S MOVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED.THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS BUT JUST RECENTLY ALMOST EVERY DAY.

ERROR MESSAGE THAT STATES: "SERVICE SHIFTER"ON THE DASH BOARD AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFTER BOX LIGHT UP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 30 MPH AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB MOORE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM TULSA (918-664-9750, LOCATED AT 4627 S MEMORIAL DR, TULSA, OK 74145) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. WHEN THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL AT THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT SOMEONE FORGOT TO PROGRAM THE COMPUTER. THE TECHNICIAN PROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE HOME AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT CONVINCED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,562.

48K MILES ON A 2016. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH TO "SERVICE SHIFTER". ALL IF THE LIGHTS IN THE SHIFTER ARE NOW LIT UP. HAD TO PULL OVER AND GO THROUGH THE OWNER MANUAL ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED, MESSAGE HAS NOT REAPPEARED.

SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING MAKING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND DOESN'T WHAT TO MOVE

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF SINCE REACHING 31000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT SHIFTER STUCK

MY GEAR SHIFT KEEPS LIGHTING UP AND IT TELLS ME SERVICE GEAR SHIFT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I TURN OFF MY CAR AND RESTART IT. THE LIGHT GOES OUT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THAT THE CODE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED, IT DID NOT WORK AND I EVEN TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT HAPPENED BECAUSE I WAS CLOSE BY. HE JUST SAYS BRING IT IN. I TOOK IT IN TODAY AND HE TOLD ME UNLESS THEY FIND SOMETHING WHEN THEY RUN IT, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANY THING TO IT. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM.

WHILE THE JEEP IS IN MOTION, THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE BECOMES DISPLAYED ON MY SCREEN, AS WELL AS ALL PRINDL LIGHTS GLOWING RED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SHIFTING THE CAR INTO ANY GEAR, AND HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING THE CAR AS WELL AS DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE STREET DRIVING AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. IF YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND TURN IT BACK ON, THE CAR DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY SHOW THE LIGHT, BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE (ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO). THE JEEP HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE FIRST TIME IT DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE THE JEEP HAD 50,000 MILES ON IT.

MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEP COMING ON WITH CODE P2803. SPOKE WITH THE MECHANIC AND HE STATED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ISSUED FOR IT AS IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 7/23/2019. CODE AND LIGHT CAM ON THE FIRST TIME 8/27/2019 AND WAS CLEARED THEN IT CAME ON AGAIN 9/19/209, WAS CLEARED THAT MORNING AND CAME BACK ON THAT AFTERNOON.

REAR LATCH WOULD NOT CLOSE. ACTUALLY OPENED WHILE DRIVING. IF SLAMMED ENOUGH FINALLY CLOSES BUT COULDN'T OPEN FOR RISK OF NOT CLOSING. SENSORS READ AN OPEN DOOR . AFTER WAITING 3 MONTHS FOR PART EVENTUALLY BATTERY ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING, THE SERVICE SHIFTER AND SEVERAL OTHER UNSPECIFIED WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NOLF CHRYSLER DODGE (2373 BROOKVILLE ST, FAIRMOUNT CITY, PA 16224, (814) 365-5251) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT PROVIDED CONCLUSIVE INFORMATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TIRES MADE A SCREECHING NOISE WITHOUT WARNING UPON MAKING TURNS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ABERNETHY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1442 E MAIN ST, LINCOLNTON, NC 28092, 704-732-1890) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT HALF SHAFT WAS FAULTY. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A QUOTE FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V287000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

BANGS INTO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR INTERMITTENTLY AFTER A STOP OR WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS 25-30 MPH ESPECIALLY. MOST ERRATIC IN CITY DRIVING. THE JOLT IS SO HARD THE DRIVER TAKES NOTICE. THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE AT TIME FROM A STOP THEN JUMP FORWARD LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL CAUSING FRONT WHEELS TO SPIN. AT LOWER SPEEDS IN CITY THE VEHICLE HAS A DELAY FROM ENGINE TO TRANSMISSION CAUSING A JERKING MOTION EVEN WHEN PRESSING EVER SO LITELY ON GAS PEDDLE. THE TRANSMISSION HOLDS GEARS AGGRESSIVELY BEFORE UP SHIFTING, SO ENGINE SPEED HANGS HIGH BETWEEN SHIFTS. THE VEHICLE SHIFTS OCCASIONALLY IMMEDIATELY INTO 2ND GEAR FROM A STOP AND THEN DRAGS IT OUT AND CLUNKS INTO 3RD GEAR CAUSING UNTIMELY SHIFTING. LITHIA JEEP AND PELLETIER JEEP BOTH DID SOFTWARE UPDATES WITH MARGINAL IMPROVEMENT OR MADE IT WORSE. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION UP SHIFTS TO SOON OFTEN FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. VEHICLE AT TIMES HAS MIND OF ITS OWN FOR TRANSMISSION NEVER REALLY KNOWING WHAT TO MAKING NOT VERY PREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE SPEED CONTROL IS DANGEROUS AND A NIGHTMARE. WHEN GOING DOWNHILL IT MAKES TRANSMISSION GO INTO LOWER GEARS CAUSING ENGINE RPM OVER DANGER ZONE. IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE GOING TO EXPLODE. THE SPEED CONTROL IS REALLY HARD TO PREDICT WHAT IT WILL DO! I'M SCARED TO USE IT! I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE!

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THIS DID NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE, AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN WHICH I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE BATTERY LIGHT SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY. AFTER COUPLE TIMES OF ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT FINE TO WORK. THIS WAS REALLY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WITH I HAD NO ENGINE PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY TO WARN THAT SUCH THING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

IN MAY 2019, ALL GAER LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER P R N D L + - ALL TURNED RED AND THE SCREEN HAD A MESSAGE "SERVICE SHIFTER." IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. IT IS A HAZARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE BELLS RING, YOUR SPEEDOMETER SCREEN DIASAPPEARS AND SERVICE SHIFTER APPEARS. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF A JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD, YOU CAN STILL DRIVE WHEN THAT OCCURS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY SOMEONE WITH AUTHORITY SOON. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE I DISCOVERED LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON AND TURNS OFF WHEN ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ALSO OVERHEAD LIGHTS ABOVE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TURN ON AND OFF OCCASIONALLY.THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION AND ARE RANDOM. ALSO WHEN IN REVERSE, SOMETIMES THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGES.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER CAME ACROSS MY DASH I PULLED OVER TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, THE ALERT WENT OFF. THEN AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE AGAIN A DIFFERENT DAY THE MESSAGE REAPPEARED.

PLEASE NOTE THE PHOTOS ARE NOT FROM MY JEEP, THEY ARE FROM ANOTHER PERSON HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DASH DISPLAYS 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND ALL LIGHTS ONE SHIFTER ILLUMINATE. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED (TWICE ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS). I PULLED OVER SHIFTER TO PARK, SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WENT AWAY FOR A FEW MILES AND CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED EITHER THE END OF MARCH OR BEGINNING OF APRIL 2019 DURING SLUSHY WET ROAD CONDITIONS. I HAVE NOT SEEN IT SINCE THOSE TWO DAYS. DATE ENTERED BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE. I WASN'T AWARE THIS SITE EXISTED UNTIL A FRIEND TAGGED ME IN A FACEBOOK POST DEPICTING AN ACCIDENT CAUSED FROM THE SAME ISSUE IN A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE.

THREE DAYS AFTER BUYING THIS JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR IN PARK RUNNING WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING, THE CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE TO THE POINT THAT I CALLED 911 AND DISPATCHED MY LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE SMOKE, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ALL WINDOWS DOWN IN 18 DEGREE WEATHER, THE DEALER FOUND "BURN MARKS" ON THE CABIN AIR FILTER AND ALL THEY DID WAS TO REMOVE THE CABIN AIR FILTER AND THAT WAS IT? CAR MAKE ME FEEL UNSAFE AS NO REPAIR OR DIAGNOSTIC OF BURNING OR SMOKE HAS BEEN DONE. CAR LOST POWER WITH THE A/C RUNNING LAST WEEK WHILE AT THE CAR WASH, I HAD TO TURN OFF THE A/C TO GET IT UP TO SPEED. ALSO WHILE SITTING IDLING AT MCDONALDS PICKUP WINDOW A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS DETECTED BY THE LADY SERVING MY MEAL, MY GIRLFRIEND AND OTHERS IN LINE WAITING, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY FOUND "NOTHING". GOING TO GET RID OF THIS THING BEFORE IT CATCHES FIRE.

THE CAR WAS STOPPED FOR A LIGHT AND COMPLETELY DIED, THE HAZARDS WOULDN'T EVEN TURN ON. THE SHIFTER AND STEERING WHEEL WERE LOCKED. IT WOULD NOT RE-START. WE HAD TO CALL A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK WHO COULDN'T EVEN GET THE WHEELS TO MOVE, HE HAD TO USE DISH SOAP SO THE WHEELS WOULD SLIDE UP THE RAMP. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, OTHER CARS COULDN'T EVEN TELL THERE WAS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THE HAZARDS WOULDN'T TURN ON. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIME AND HAD TO GO OUT IN TRAFFIC, WITH CARS BEEPING, YELLING AND USING RUDE HAND GESTURES AT HER SO SHE COULD PUT THE HOOD UP. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY, IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE BCM, THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. WE ARE NOW WITHOUT A CAR BUT I'D RATHER NO CAR THEN HAVE HER KILLED WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE THIS JEEP. THERE ARE OVER 40 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND THE GRANDE CHEROKEE HAD A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM, LOCKING UP AND STALLING, THIS NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE GEAR SHIFTER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED JIM ELLIS TOYOTA OF MCDONOUGH (144 HIGHWAY 81 W, MCDONOUGH, GA 30253, (770) 288-3755) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHEN TOWING VEHICLE 4 WHEELS DOWN BEHIND MY MOTORHOME AT TIMES VEHICLE HAS A SEVER WOBBLE. IT IS BOTH WHEN TAKING A CORNER OR STRAIGHT. CAN NOT STOP WOBBLE UNLESS I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. VERY SCARY.

SERVICE SHIFTER KEEPS COMING BACK AND ALL LIGHTS FOR GEAR INDICATOR ARE RED. DEALERSHIP SAYS TO TURN OFF AND RESTART VEHICLE BUT IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY AND MORE FREQUENTLY. OCCURS WHEN TURNING VEHICLE ON.

ALL PRND INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER UNIT ILLUMINATE AT ONCE, AND STAY LIT. "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING APPEARS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY. WHEN "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING IS DISPLAYED, CANNOT BE TURNED OFF AND DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER READINGS (OR OTHER INFORMATION) ARE NO LONGER DISPLAYED. PRND SHIFTER INDICATOR LIGHTS BLINK SPORADICALLY UNTIL WARNING FINALLY DISPLAYS. LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINATED AFTER WARNING APPEARS. PRND LIGHTS AND DISPLAY WARNING APPEAR WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED/STATIONARY AS WELL AS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. STARTED SPORADICALLY, ROUGHLY 6 MONTHS AGO (EARLY 2019) AND WOULD TYPICALLY GO AWAY IF VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RE-STARTED. THESE WARNINGS NOW HAPPEN DAILY, EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE, AND ALMOST NEVER GO AWAY. UPON RESEARCHING THIS CONCERN ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT MANY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SINCE AROUND 2012. MOST WEB INQUIRES INDICATE THAT THIS MAY BE RELATED TO A WIRING HARNESS? I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $700 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER, AND THAT IF I DO NOT REPLACE, I COULD FIND MYSELF UNABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. HOPING THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS BEING INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A RECURRING, KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE.

SERVICE SHIFTER WHILE DRIVING CITY STREET BEFORE 09/07/2019

CAR HAS COMPLETELY STALLED AND LOCKED UP TO A POINT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL CANNOT BE MOVED, HAZARD LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON, CANNOT CHANGE THE GEAR AT ALL. HAD TO HAVE A FLAT BED TOW BECAUSE THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED, TOW DRIVER HAD TO USE DISH SOAP TO GET THE WHEELS TO SLIDE UP THE RAMP. JEEP DEALERSHIP FIRST REPLACED THE BATTERY, THEN REPLACED THE BCM AND IT IS STILL A SOLID BRICK. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG. THIS HAS COST ME $600 SO FAR WITHOUT EVEN A REPAIR. MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS DRIVING THIS DANGEROUS CAR. I HAVE SEEN THE FORUMS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP, IT NEEDS A RECALL. AS SOON AS WE CAN GET IT RUNNING AGAIN, WE WILL BE TRADING IT IN. I CAN'T HAVE HER IN A DEATH TRAP, IT STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND WE HAD TO PUT THE HOOD UP TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE THE HAZARDS WOULDN'T EVEN TURN ON. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 23000 MILES ON IT, IT SHOULD REALLY NOT BE DOING THIS.

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A CITY STREET AT APPROX. 35MPH, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF, STATING "SHIFT TO P AND THEN DESIRED GEAR" AND THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS BEFORE THIS OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, AND WAS THEN HESITANT TO RESTART. AFTER STARTING, THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD A BIT BUT WOULD NOT PROPERLY DRIVE, AND WAS TOWED HOME AND THEN ULTIMATELY TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSIONS ISSUE AND WAS ALSO FOUND TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE BATTERY 3 WEEKS AGO, SO THE SAFETY CONCERNS OF THIS VEHICLE CONTINUE TO GROW. AFTER RESEARCHING, I LEARNED THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE, OFTEN CAUSED BY LOW OIL, OR NO CAUSE FOUND. THERE ARE HIGH RISKS TO LIFE AND PROPERTY FOR A VEHICLE THAT WILL JUST SHUT DOWN AT WILL WITHOUT ANY WARNING.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NOWHERE . 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 40K MILES ON IT, LEASED VEHICLE. STARTED THE VEHICLE IT WAS IN PARK , STATIONARY. NO PRIOR WARNING

MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY HAS THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT COME ON AND STAY ON. THE DEALERSHIPS AND MECHANICS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL RANDOM TIMES. SITTING, MOVING, CITY, HIGHWAY, GOING STRAIGHT, TURNING. IT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO SEE MY LARGE SPEED LIMIT ON MY SCREEN. MANY PEOPLE REPORT THE SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER.

JEEP CHEROKEE WOULDN'T START. IT TRIES TO TURN OVER, ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND THE RADIO COME ON, BUT THE ENGINE WON'T START. I'VE TRIED JUMPING IT AND MADE SURE THERE WAS ENOUGH GAS, AND STILL HAD NO LUCK. HAPPENED LAST WEEK, HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE.

ABS VACUUM PUMP NEEDS REPLACEMENT AFTER 2 YEARS OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP?

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK - ~57,000 MILES. DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING (STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 40MPH) "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME OVER DASHBOARD SCREEN AND RED LIGHTS LIT FOR PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE. THE ISSUE WENT AWAY AFTER RESTART AND I HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED AGAIN YET (RESTARTED TWICE SINCE THIS MORNING, ONCE AT AAA AND ONCE TO MOVE IT WHEN I WAS AT HOME). I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS ISSUE TO BE PROFOUND. I'M SURPRISED THERE IS NOT A RECALL ALREADY BUT THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A CONSISTENT ANSWER FOR WHY THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING - HOPEFULLY DEALERSHIP WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR.

THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ERROR MESSAGE CAME UP ON MY DISPLAY ON MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. AT THE SAME TIME ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY GEAR CONSOLE TURNED RED FROM PARK ALL THE WAY TO REVERSE. ALL WERE LIT RED. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND TO MAKE APPOINTMENT. THEY SAID DRIVE WITH CARE (LIKE I CAN BE CAREFUL BUT HOW DO I KNOW IT WON'T JUMP GEARS) WHEN I PARKED AND TURNED OFF CAR AND TURNED ON AGAIN THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARED ALONG WITH RED LIGHTS. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND OVER 50 OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX TOMORROW BUT I AM AFRAID THEY WILL SAY WHAT OTHERS ARE REPORTING 'THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE' AND WILL DISREGARD IT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN PARK AT TIME OF INCIDENT

"SERVICE SHIFTER" COMES ON THE DASH AND ALL SHIFTER RED LIGHTS COME ON. HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM REQUIRING A WIRE HARNESS AND SOMETIMES A SHIFTER CHANGE. DEALERS HAVE BEEN CHARGING FOLKS FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS. SEEMS RATHER ABUSIVE.

WHILE DRIVING MY SUV TWICE IT DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT MOVE I COULDN'T PUSH THE GAS TO MAKE IT GO FASTER OR ANYTHING. WHEN I TURNED IT OF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON IT HAD TROUBLE STARTING BACK UP. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE 2 MONTHS AGO AND GET THE SYNTHETIC OIL TO IMPROVE MY ENGINES LIFE, I'M NOT SURE FOR AN OIL CHNAGE UNTIL NOVEMBER 19. MY DEALERSHIP PUT OIL IN FOR ME AND SAID THAT THIS ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN IS A FAIL SAFE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM BEING DAMAGED. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN VERY FRIGHTENING AS BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADWAYS. MY DEALERSHIP HAS ADVISED ME TO COME BACK IN AND GET A OIL CHANGE AND THEY WILL SEAL MY OIL RESERVOIR COMPONENTS AND PUT A DYE PACK IN AND HAVE ME COME BACK IN AFTER DRIVING 1000 MILES. AFTER READING THE REVIEWS ON THIS WEBSITE IT APPEARS MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WHICH TRULY FRIGHTENS ME I BOUGHT MY TRUCK BRAND NEW AND IT ON HAS 32500 MILES ON IT, I HOPE THAT SOME MAJOR INVESTIGATIONS OCCUR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE.

SERVICE SHIFTER ALARM

CONTINUOUS SOFTWARE UPDATE MESSAGE PREVENTED USAGE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT WHILE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING ON THE ROAD. THIS RESULTS IN THE OPERATOR REMOVING THEIR EYES FROM THE ROAD TO DEAL WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE NON-FUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT. NO SIMPLE CANCEL BUTTON WAS AVAILABLE TO PREVENT THIS MAJOR DISTRACTION AND SAFETY CONCERN WHILE TRAVELING. UPDATE MESSAGE DISABLES AND MAKES ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT USELESS UNTIL UPDATE IS INSTALLED.

WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTS BEEPING AND SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER, THEN MY WHOLE SHIFTER LIGHTS UP. WHEN I GO TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK IT REVERSES ABOUT 2 FEET BACK BEFORE IT PARKS AND EVEN THOUGH IM NOT MOVING MY JEEP SHOWS MY RPM AT 1.

ALL OF THE SHIFT LIGHTS WERE RED, AND RECEIVED A MESSAGE TO HAVE SHIFT SERVICED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN 2017 AND THE SHIFT WAS REPLACED BY WARRANTY. CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE, THERE IS NO REASON FOR A CAR THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES. I WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALER TO GET THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED.

BACK UP CAMERA IMAGE IS GARBLED. CANNOT SEE OUT THE BACK

THE CAR WAS PARKED. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, ALL LIGHTS FOR THE GEARS (P,R,N,D) ON THE SHIFTER WERE LIGHT UP RED AND SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEARED. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY. 3 DAYS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. A SEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.

PURCHASED 2106 JEEP CHEROKEE IN APRIL 2019. HAD CAR LOOKED OVER AND OIL CHANGED APRIL 19, 2019 @30,141 MILES. ON 8/14/19 THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE LEAVING A STOP SIGN. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH AND DISPLAY INSTRUCTS YOU TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTS. THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. 8/24/19 THE SAME EVENT HAPPENS AGAIN, EXCEPT ON A BUSIER ROAD. VERY SCARY AND CONCERNED ABOUT BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. 4 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART CAR, FINALLY STARTS AND I DRIVE DIRECTLY TO MECHANIC. 8/27/19 HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES TO MECHANIC, WHO AGREES THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN MOVING TRAFFIC. THE COMPUTER DOES NOT INDICATE ANY PROBLEM. BASED ON INFORMATION I HAD FOUND ON LINE, HE CHECKS THE OIL TO FIND NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. CAR IS @ 35,242 MILES & CONSUMED 4 QTS OF OIL DURING 5100 MILES. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH OIL TO BE USED FOR THIS NUMBER OF MILES. THE MORE I POKE AROUND ON LINE, I SEE THAT MANY JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEMS. COUNTLESS THAT HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH I CAN'T BEGIN TO THINK HOW DEADLY THAT CAN BE. IT APPEARS THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE RECALLED THE 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD ALSO BELIEVE THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING BURNED. I DO HAVE RECEIPTS FROM THE SERVICE GARAGE. PLEASE HELP

BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 17K MILES AND NOW HAVE 50K. 10K BEFORE THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT AND DEALER WILL ONLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE WILL SHOW THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME IT IS AT THE DEALER. ISSUE IS UNPREDICTABLE. CAR JERKS HARD FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, ALMOST AS IF YOU HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. CAR HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING TO HIGHER SPEED UPON ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS ALSO A PRONOUNCED "TICKING" NOISE WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING/IDLE

WE PURCHASED A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AND WITH 20K MILES ON IT, WE HAD A SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUE. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THEN WE NOW HAVE A SECOND SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUE. AGAIN WE BROUGHT IT IN, AS WE WERE PREVIOUSLY TOLD WE HAD A TWO YEAR WARRANTY ON THE PART ITSELF. NOW THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS. SEARCHING ONLINE IN FORUMS MY WIFE AND I ARE APART OF 100S OF OWNERS OF JEEP VEHICLES FROM 2016 THROUGH 2017 THAT HAVE SHIFTER PROBLEMS. LASTLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY OUR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BY CHRYSLER. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ALL DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE A RECALL TO GET IT FIXED. THANK YOU

VEHICLE LAUNCHES INTO 3RD GEAR FROM 2ND GEAR

SERVICE SHIFT LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFT PANEL WERE LITE, WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WITHIN A MONTH. CAN'T FIND A RECALL, BUT I SEE IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS. IS IT SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE?

TAKATA RECALL. I TURNED ON ENGINE TO MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 30,000 MILES VEHICLE AND A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' APPEARED ON THE DASH SCREEN. THE SHIFTER ITSELF WERE ALL LID UP RED. WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY WHAT SHIFT I WAS CURRENTLY IN AND SHIFTERS REMAINED ALL RED WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION. I FELT UNSAFE BECAUSE I HAD A TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE AND CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND FEEL THAT IT'S NECESSARY THAT JEEP TAKES ACTION IN SOLVING THIS MATTER.

THE LUG BOLTS HAVE A THIN CHROME COVER. THESE LUG BOLTS SEEM TO SWELL AS MOISTURE ENTERS OVER TIME. THEY ALSO BECOME DAMAGED AS MAINTENANCE SUCH AS TIRE ROTATION IS PERFORMED. THEY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITH THE TOOLS SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT TIRE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE STRANDED. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE FIAT CHRYSLER GROUP LINE.

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN "SERVICE SHIFTER" APPEARED IN THE DASH AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFT WENT RED; WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN, STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY. HAPPENED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY, DRIVING AROUND 30 MPH THIS TIME, REPEATED THE SAME ACTIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 60 TO 65 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE REQUIRED WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE IN ORDER TO RESET THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAN CUMMINS CHRYSLER DODGE, JEEP, RAM (2021 ALVERSON DRIVE, PARIS, KENTUCKY 40361, (859)-987-5669) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,750.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE, ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFTER ARE LIT UP. MANUAL SHIFT DOESNT WORK. NEW SYMPTOM, CAR DIDNT RECOGNIZE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. MESSAGE APPEARED TO SHIFT INTO P THEN DESIRED GEAR. WHEN IGNITION BUTTON PUSHED TO TURN OFF, CAR RESTARTED ON ITS OWN.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT RANDOMLY APPEARS ON INFO SCREEN INDASH AND LIGHTS UP SHIFTER MOUNT AREA. NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHY IT COMES ON, NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE BUT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WHEN GOOGLED.

STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHEN CAR WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET AND CAR GOT HIT AT ELECTRIC POLE CAUSING POLE AND WIRE DAMAGE AND ROUTE CLOSED FOR LONG PERIOD AND CAR TO GET TOTALED AND LUCKILY I SURVIVED. SPEED WAS AROUND 25-30MPH

1. THERMOSTAT STATE AS PROBLEM TO MAKE ENGINE CHUG/STALL 2. AIR COMPRESSOR / CLUTCH UNIT NEEDED AT 61,000. HAVE 75 ANNIVERSARY JEEP AND REALLY NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS!! NOT HAPPY

THE SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR KEEPS COMING ON. IT COMES ON WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. AT TIMES IT WILL GO OFF WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR BUT COMES BACK ON AFTER A WHILE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. PRNDL RED. UNABLE TO DISABLE THIS WARNING TO SEE SPEED, GAS, ETC. VEHICLE WAS OPERATING FINE OTHERWISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD GEARS, AND LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE RPMS FAILED TO INCREASE TO 2,000 AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT USED THE LPB READER AND RECEIVED CODE: P0887 (TCM HIGH VOLTAGE). THE CONTACT CALLED EAST TENNESSEE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2774 N MAIN ST, CROSSVILLE, TN 38555, (931) 463-3640), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR ON DASH BOARD. ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFTER COME ON AT ONCE P,R, N,D. IT ONLY COMES ON WHEN DRIVING AND DOESN'T GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. IT ISN'T DAILY BUT IT'S STILL SCARY.

MY WIFE'S JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH HAS STALLED WHILE MAKING A SLIGHT RIGHT TURN. THE DISPLAY SIGNALS ENGINE, AND BATTERY FLASH AND THEN THE CAR DIES WITH NO POWER INSTANTLY. MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS COMMUTING DURING RUSH HOUR THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED AND THIS NEARLY CAUSED HER TO BE REAR ENDED. LUCKILY THE DRIVER BEHIND HER WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND AVOIDED THE COLLISION. NOW MY WIFE WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER FOR 5 MINUTES UNTIL THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. AFTER A LOT OF ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND 90 PLUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE 2.4 L MOTOR IN THE 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT CAUSES THIS STALLING BASED ON LOW OIL LEVELS. SO THIS POORLY ENGINEERED ENGINE BURNS 1 QT OF OIL PER 1000 MILES, THIS CAUSES YOUR OIL TO RUN SIGNIFICANTLY LOW BEFORE THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED OIL SERVICE PERIODS. MY MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND HAS COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, WE WILL HAVE TO ADD 1 QT OF OIL EVERY THOUSAND MILES. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 36K MILES AND WILL NOW REQUIRE EXTRA OIL FOR ITS LIFE, WHICH IS RIDICULOUSLY TEDIOUS FOR A 30K$ CAR. HOWEVER THE STALLING WITH NO WARNING AND CAUSING LOSS OF POWER IN TRAFFIC WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND SHOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER L LIGHTS UP RED. SOMETIME THE EMERGENCY BREAK SETS ITSELF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY TELL ME THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS FAULT REPAIR IS NEEDED WHICH IS ALMOST $300 AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 36,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW; IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. WHILE RESEARCHING I'VE NOTICED MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING TO SAME ISSUE AND THAT'S HOW I DISCOVERED TO WRITE UP THIS CLAIM. I FEEL IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND LOCKS UP. I HAVEN'T HAD IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A RENTAL WHILE IT'S BEING REPAIR AT THIS TIME; I NEED TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO BE DROPPED OFF BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO HAVE IT FIXED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE SITTING STATIONARY, IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND INTERSTATE ROADS AND WHEN FIRST GEARING AFTER STARTING AND REVERSE. (THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR IN MAY; IT'S JUST MORE FREQUENTLY NOW).

SERVICE SHIFTER

FOR THE SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME ON AND ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR BOX LIT UP. PULLED OVER AND CUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND LIGHTS WENT OFF

VEHICLE, WHILE IN MOTION, STALLS AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED. BEING TOLD OIL BURNS TOO QUICKLY IN THESE VEHICLES AND THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THE CAR HAS ALTHOUGH IT HAS ALMOST COST ME MULTIPLE SERIOUS/POTENTILLY FATAL COLLISIONS WITH MY INFANT CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. NO OIL INDICATOR HAS EVER TURNED ON INDICATING OIL LEVEL IS LOW. HAD SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AT 15,000 MILES IN WHICH ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED BUT NOW IS DOING THE SAME THING AS BEFORE. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE AMONGST JEEPS - WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND OUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN ARE AT RISK AS I ALMOST WAS T-BONED TODAY AS MY ENGINE STALLED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN BUT HAD NOT YET MANEUVERED AND WAS LEFT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE BLOCKING ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A BUSY CITY STREET BUT HAD HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY.

DOES NOT HOLD THE SELECTED SPEED WHEN GOING DOWN HILL WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS DOWN BUT DOES NOT STAY IN ONE GEAR, SHIFTS UP AND DOWN.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING ROUGH SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEARS CAUSING MY JEEP TO ACCELERATE GOING DOWN HILLS MY RPM RAPIDLY RISE AND FALL

VEHICLE'S SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT REMAINS ON AND ALL LIGHTS BESIDE GEARS PRND REMAIN ON. OCCURS AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT.

SERVICE SHIFTER NOTIFICATION KEEPS POPPING UP AND YOU MUST STOP VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF AND OPEN THE DOOR TO RESET IT. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT GOES BAD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS HAPPENED A LOT SO WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?

WE HAVE HAD THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE COME ON SEVERAL TIMES SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE DEALER REPROGRAMS OR RESETS MESSAGE AND STAYS OFF FOR A WHILE THEN BACK ON. IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME.

WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE STALLS AND WON'T MOVE, MESSAGE COMES UP TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN THE GEAR YOU WANT. SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES NOW, VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A HARD JERK WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS VEHICLE IS GOING IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE FOURTH TIME MENTIONING THIS ISSUE. MECHANICS CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE, BUT DID SEE THE COMPUTER DID SHOW SOMETHING. ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 21 MONTHS NOW. SO UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WON'T MOVE WHILE DRIVING! POSSIBLY CAN GET REAR ENDED. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN.

THE PROBLEM STARTED 7/23/2019. THE JEEP IS STOPPING RANDOMLY AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. IT STARTS BACK UP BUT THE AC IS ON DEFROST AND I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK ON COOL. THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS I READ ABOUT SOME REVIEWS THAT STATED IT COULD BE BECAUSE AN OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED. SINCE IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE, I DID THAT. BUT THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING, RANDOMLY STOPPING. ALSO CHANGED A DIRTY AIR FILTER. SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR 7/29/19 AND WILL SEE IF JEEP CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET ALL OF THE GEAR SHIFTS LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHERE YOU SEE YOUR MILEAGE THAT SCREEN READ SERVICE SHIFTER. THIS STAYED VISIBLE UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE CAR ALSO JERKS WHILE IN MOTION AND THE BRAKES WHERE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED LAST WEEK FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM BUT ITS STILL FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE GRINDING.

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED JEEP LATITUDE. WITHIN TWO MONTHS THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENTIRE CONSOLE LIT UP RED. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED OFF AND ON UNTIL I TOOK IT FOR SERVICING. THIS ISSUE SHOWED UP WHILE IN PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN PULLING OUT AND THEN WHEN I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION. IT WAS FIXED IN MINUTES ???? BUT IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE NEVER CORRECTED BY CHRYSLER/ JEEP

GEAR SHIFTER - THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" APPEARS AND ALL THE GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS COME ON. COMES ON OFTEN. WAS REPAIRED MONTHS AGO. NOW APPEARING FREQUENTLY.

WHEN DRIVING UNDER SLIPPERY CONDITIONS THE TRACTION CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. HAVE CONTACTED 2 DEALERS IN THE AREA AND BOTH HAVE REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT.

TRUCK KEEPS LOSING POWER LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL AND THE SERVICE SHIIFTER IS ON. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY CAN FIND OUT WHY THE TRUCK IS LOSING POWER AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE SERVICE SHIFTER HAS BEEN ON.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WITH ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE GEAR SHIFTER. COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. THIS HAPPENED UPON STARTING THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AND PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE.

WHILE IN MOTION THE SHIFTER INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP AND "SERVICE SHIFTER" APPEARS ON THE CONSOLE OVERRIDING THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER, THE ONLY WAY TO RESET THIS IS TO STOP THE CAR, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART. THIS HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN AND UNPREDICTABLE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO HAPPEN. (RESETTING IS ONLY TEMPORARY AS WELL)

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE HAS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. A "SHIFT GEAR" LIGHT WARNING APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD. BOTH TIMES IT OCCURED SHORTLY WHILE STARTING TO DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. THEREFORE, OCCURED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF STARTING THE ENGINE. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURED WITHIN SECONDS AFTER TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT.

BOUGHT A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 60MILES ON IT WITHIN 3 WEEKS CAR SHUT OFF 3 TIME WHILE DRIVING WITH SIGNAL SHIFT GEAR COMES ON. HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF CAR AND TURN ON A FEW TIMES AND IT WILL BE FINE TWO MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN THIS TIME HAPPENING A FEW TIME IN THE SAME DAY A FEW MINUTES APART. THIS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHILE YOUR DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING.

ONE DAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON. I DIDNT HIT ANYTHING. NO ONE HIT ME AS FAR AS I KNOW.

AT 43000 A MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY CAME ON TWICE OVER 2 DAYS. IT SAID "SERVICE SHIFTER". THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE SHIFT BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS DEFECTIVE. THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. FAULTY OPERATION OF THE GEAR SELECTOR COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE BEING INOPERABLE. THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. JEEP SHOULD FIX THIS..

REOCCURRING SVC 4WD WHILE DRIVING WITH 'JERKY' MOVEMENTS, EACH TIME DEALER REPORTS COMPUTER ERROR AND RESETS IT. FOURTH TIME IN 8 MONTHS.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED FWD, MISFIRING AND SHAKING BEGAN WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING AFTERWARDS FOR 1/2 MILE. AUTOMATIC START/STOP WAS ON. PULLED OFF ROAD AND TURNED ENGINE OFF AND LET SET FOR 1-HOUR. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND BEGAN SHAKING AND MISFIRING AGAIN. THIS TIME ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND START/STOP SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON. SHUT VEHICLE OFF AGAIN AND LET SIT FOR 30 MINUTES. STARTED VEHICLE AGAIN AND PUT IN REVERSE, DROVE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AND MISFIRING AGAIN WHILE GOING THROUGH THE SHIFTING SEQUENCE. DROVE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND IT DID THIS THE ENTIRE WAY, APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I WAS DRIVING IT WAS STILL HAPPENING. THE SHAKING/MISFIRING SEEMED TO SUBSIDE A LITTLE WHEN A/C WAS NOT IN USE. IN ADDITION TO OTHER WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON, SERVICE-SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WHILE MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN.

SERVICE SHIFTER DISPLAYS ON DASH WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR. THE GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ALL TURNED RED, AND THERE WAS NO ABILITY TO SWITCH GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, AND THE SHIFTER WAS RESET TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF.

VEHICLE STALLS AND CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WITHOUT WARNING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON AND NO EXPLANATION. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. OIL CONSUMPTION TEST RESULTED IN AN ENGINE REPLACMENT FROM SCRATCHING ON INSIDE CYLINDER WALLS. NEW ENGINE 11-2017. NEW ENGINE IS STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING AND IS BURNING OIL. CAR WILL SHUT OFF.

EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING MY CAR AND I APPROACH A STOP SIGN, A LITTLE OR NEED TO STOP THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON AFTER 20 TO 30 MINS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO VARIOUS MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IT IS. OIL CHANGE AND EVEN RADIATOR WAS CHANGED. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION LANES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I AM HOPING THAT IS IT BEACUSE I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING MY VEHICLE. A VEHICLE I WAS EXCITED TO BUY. IT IS JUST A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. I SHOULD BE ENJOYING THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL GEAR LIGHTS ON SHIFTER ILLUMINATE. STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE TEMPORARILY FIXES THE WARNING. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN "FIXED" ONCE BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AT CONSIDERABLE COST TO US. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEEN SHOWING A SERVICE SHIFTER ON MY SCREEN AND ALL OF MY LIGHTS ARE SOLID ON MY SHIFTER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I ALSO HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY CAR AFTER THIS HAPPENS

"SERIVE SHIFTER" APPEARS ON THE DASH SCREEN AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS P, R, N, D, +/- LIGHT UP ON THE SHIFTER WHILE MOVING, BUT I ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN ONCE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING. THE CAR STILL DRIVES, AND IF SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE MESSAGE AND LIGHTS GO AWAY. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY. ALL OF THE GEARS STILL WORK, AND THE CAR RECOGNIZING WHICH GEAR IT IS IN.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE CAME UP ON DASH WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MILES AN HOUR, ALL LIGHTS LIT UP ON SHIFTER. CANNOT CLEAR MESSAGE WITHOUT PULLING OVER AND SHUTTING CAR OFF, THEREFORE SPEEDO.ETER AND OTHER CAR SAFETY INFORMATION IS UNAVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, NO CODES ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

WHILE IN MOTION: 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL RANDOMLY LOSE ENGINE POWER DURING A RIGHT TURN (ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND AT LOW SPEED ON CITY STREET), STEERING LOCKS UP, DECELERATES AUTOMATICALLY, AND DASH SAYS TO PUT VEHICLE INTO MANUAL MODE AND SELECT THE DESIRED GEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TWO TIMES.

THE SHIFTER SERVICE LIGHT IS COMING ON. I CUT THE CAR BACK OFF, TOOK THE KEY OUT AND RESTARTED THE CAR, BUT THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON AFTER AWHILE. IT WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. IT HAS DONE IT WHILE DRIVING THOUGH.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARED & EMI LIT. CAR LOST POWER & I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. SPEED DROPPED TO ABOUT 40MPH & HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD. FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GO AGAIN & MESSAGE WENT AWAY. HAD CAR DIAGNOSED & THEY SAY IT'S IN TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 30 MORE TIMES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $6500 FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS & IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE! I'M SCARED I'M GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE READ THAT THERE'S ABOUT 37,000 RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE OF JEEP, BUT NOT ON MY JEEP. THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING 10 MILES, BUT MAY NOT HAPPEN FOR 100 MILES. IT HAS HAPPENED ON BUSY HIGHWAYS WHERE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY.

TURNED CAR IGNITION ON AND SAT IN PARKING LOT. ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER A SHIFTER SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARED ON DISPLAY AND ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFT LIT UP. 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH APPROXIMATELY 34000 MILES. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS MESSAGE BEFORE. MESSAGE AND LIGHTS WENT AWAY AFTER SHUTTING OFF CAR AND TURNING BACK ON.

JUMPING TRANSMISSION. DECELERATE'S WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY.

I BOUGHT MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED NEW AND FOR THE FIRST 100, 000 MILES HAD NO PROBLEM WITH IT UNTIL ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, THE ENGINE HIT 5000 RPM AT 45 MPH AND WOULD RED LINE IF I WENT FASTER, I PULLED OVER AND COULD NOT SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RADIO, WIPERS AND EVERYTHING WERE GOING ON THEIR OWN INCLUDING EVERY WARNING LIGHT POSSIBLE. AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN IDLE I DECIDED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RECONNECT AND IT STARTED BACK UP WITH ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THEY WEREN'T SURE WHY ALL CODES WERE GOING OFF BUT CHECKED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND RESET THE LIGHT. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME AT 65MPH DURING A SNOWFALL ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THIS TIME THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP I MANAGED TO BRAKE AND STOP ON HIGHWAY WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ON AGAIN DISCONNECTED BATTERY AND TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER SO AT A COST OF NEARLY $2300 I DID. NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT UNTIL IT WAS RAINING ONE DAY AND BOOM INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS UP AGAIN, THANKFULLY THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT LOCK AGAIN. I TAKE IT BACK AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT RESET THE LIGHT. NOW I CANT DRIVE MY JEEP WHEN IT RAINS FOR FEAR OF MORE ISSUES. FAST FORWARD 3 MONTHS TO TODAY, I AM ABOUT A MILE FROM MY HOME AND THE DASH LIGHTS UP SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER REQUIRED. AND ALL THE LIGHTS FOR P,R,N,D ARE ALL RED, I TRIED TO TURN OFF AND START AGAIN WITH NO LUCK THE LIGHTS AND WARNING STAYS ON, THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER WONT COME UP BECAUSE THE WARNING IS THERE AND I CANT CYCLE IT OFF. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND NOTICED A GREAT DEAL MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AT ALL DIFFERENT MILES. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO AT THIS POINT. I BELIEVE JUST THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP ALONE SHOULD BE WARRANT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS NOT AS LUCKY AS I WAS.

WAS DRIVING, COMING TO A STOP AND SCREEN FLASHED PUT GEAR INTO PARK TO CHANGE GEARS. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND SAME THING POPPED UP. I PUT IT BACK INTO PARK, SHUT THE CAR OFF. TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULDN'T START. THEN I TRIED AGAIN, LEFT KEY ON AND IT JUST WHIRLED OVER 3-4 TIMES AND FINALLY STARTED. AND EVERYTHING WAS GONE AND I COULD DRIVE AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS PRIOR, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND I HAD A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS BY EACH GEAR ON SHIFTER WERE RED.

THE POWER LIFT GATE HAS FAILED TO LIFT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ONCE, THE LIFT GATE ACTUALLY FELL UNEXPECTEDLY, HITTING ME IN THE HEAD! IT SEEMS TO STRUGGLE TO LIFT ON MOST ATTEMPTS.

MY JEEP DOES NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND SOMETIMES SECOND UNTIL THE ENGINE REVES UP HIGH AND THEN SHIFTS SUDDENLY WITH A FORCEFUL JERK. SOMETIMES UPON ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, AND THEN DOES THE FORCEFUL SUDDEN JERK WHEN IT GOES INTO A HIGHER GEAR. IT HAS BEEN FORCEFUL ENOUGH TO FEEL AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAS BUMPED INTO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO MY INDEPENDENT CAR REPAIR PLACE AND NEITHER CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT HAS BEGUN TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY.

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING WHEN IN MOTION. SHIFT SERVICES LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR ON THE CAR ACCELERATES OR SEEMS TO STALL. ENGINE WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. IT MAKES AN EXCESSIVE NOISE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IN MOTION.

VEHICLE STALLS DURING DECELERATION INTO RIGHT HAND TURNS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. DEALERSHIP IS DENYING ANY PROBLEMS EXIST AND CANNOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. ONLINE COMPLAINTS STATE THAT SOME DEALERSHIPS STATING IT IS DUE TO LOW OIL AND OIL CONSUMPTION IS VERY HIGH AND PROBLEM CAN OCCUR EVEN WITH VEHICLE MAINTAINED TO MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND MAKE IT RIGHT NO MATTER THE COST. NO WARNING OR TROUBLE LIGHTS PRIOR TO COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THEY JUST RECALLED THE 2019 MODELS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM BUT THEY NEED TO RECALL PRIOR YEARS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY WERE CARS OUR TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

THE ENGINE LIGHT AND MESSAGE SERVICE TRANSMISSION CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, HOWEVER I COULD NOT DRIVE OVER 40 MILES AN HOUR IN TRAFFIC ONCE THIS HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT FOUND THAT THIS WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. WHY WOULD A SOFTWARE DAY CAUSE THIS MUCH OF AN ISSUE AND A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AT THAT. WHY ISN'T THERE A PERMANENT FIX TO THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AT 56,000 MILES WHEN I TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE. ALL THE LIGHTS FOR THE SHIFTER CAME ON AND THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO GO INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES, NOT ALL CONSECUTIVE.

THIS ISSUES HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. I AM DRIVING WITH NO ISSUES AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOSES SPEED. I WILL GO FROM 70-0MPH WITH IN SECONDS, ALL THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON ON MY DASH BOARD AND I AM UNABLE TO SPEED UP OR EVEN STEER OUT OF THE WAY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER,NO CARS BEHIND ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT WITH OUT A QUESTION. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CAR SHUT DOWN WITH OUT ACTUALLY TURNING OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR ME BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED. AS SOON AS THEY WOULD CONNECT IT TO DIAGNOSE THEY SAID THE CODES WOULD CLEAR AND THE CAR WAS WORKING. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED AND NOW I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE. NOW THE STEREO WILL NOT TURN ON. THE SCREEN IS ON BUT WILL NOT MOVE FROM THE JEEP SIGH IT WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF BUT NOT EVER MOVE FROM THERE.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, MY DAUGHTER BACKED THE CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK INTO DRIVE. IT SEEMED FINE AFTER THAT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FREAK THING. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING "SERVICE SHIFTER". WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM FIX IT. THEY ORDERED PARTS BUT SAID IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 4 DAYS FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. WHEN THE PARTS FINALLY CAME AND WERE INSTALLED, THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I WAS THEN TOLD THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED A COMPANY WIDE MEMO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOW NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD TAKE WEEKS TO MAYBE MONTHS BEFORE IT WOULD COME IN. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PARTS CAME IN BUT NOT SURE IF THEY EVEN KNOW. I'VE LOOKED THIS PROBLEM UP ONLINE AND SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING.

I TURNED ON THE CAR, LET IT WARM UP FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. PUT IT IN DRIVE, I WAS ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON, THE CAR STALLED AND THE MOTOR TURNED OFF. THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN DRIVE AND I HAD TO FORCEFULLY FIND A WAY TO MOVE IT TO NEUTRAL OR PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. WHEN I CHECKED THE FLUIDS ON THE VEHICLE EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE OIL DIP STICK. ALL THE OIL HAD BURNED AWAY AND I WAS STILL ABOUT 2000 MILES AWAY FROM NEXT OIL CHANGE. ALL MY OIL CHANGES WERE DONE AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND WE USED SYNTHETIC OIL TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS THAT NO WARNING SIGNS ARE GIVEN TO THE DRIVERS AND THAT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS COMMON PROBLEM, THEY CANNOT RESOLVE IT. PLEASE HELP!

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE KEEPS GETTING SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS. IT HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR, WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SHIFTING INTO PARK. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON WILL SOMETIMES CLEAR THE ISSUE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES REPEATED TRIES TO GET IT TO CLEAR. IT HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC.WHEN IT HAPPENS THE INFORMATION DISPLAY ON THE DASH SWITCHES TO "SERVICE SHIFTER". NO OTHER INFO IS DISPLAYED.

OIL DOES NOT LAST DURING OIL CHANGES, I HAVE TO ADD OIL. THERE IS NOT A LEAK OR ANY ISSUE, IT IS JUST BURNING WAY TOO FAST. MY JEEP WAS CUTTING OFF RIGHT AFTER I WOULD START DRIVING (USUALLY RIGHT AFTER A TURN) AND I HAD NO IDEA WHY UNTIL I NOTICED OIL WAS EXTRA LOW. SO NOW I JUST MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT FULL BETWEEN CHANGES. DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE THIS IS A NUISANCE.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, 'CHECK SHIFTER' APPEARED ON MY DASH AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIGHT UP RED.

THERE IS A LOUD METALLIC KNOCK WHEN SHIFTING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND VIS VERSA. THIS IS FOLLOWED BY A DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHICH JOLTS THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" APPEARED ON MY SCREEN, AND ON MY SHIFTER, EVERYTHING LIT UP IN RED. SOMETHING TELLS ME THIS ISN'T PARTICULARLY SAFE.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND TWO MILES INTO MY COMMUTE I NOTICED THAT A MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH. IT IS ( SERVICE SHIFTER) MESSAGE. MY SHIFTER HAS RED LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON ALL THE SELECTIONS IN THE SHIFTER. I OWN A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 75TH EDITION, WITH ABOUT 58,0000 MILES. I BELIEVE A LOT OF FOLKS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING.

WHEN I START THE CAR THE SERVICE SHIFTER WILL COME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY SHIFTER LIGHT. I TURNED MY CAT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WENT OFF. THAT WAS ABOUT A WEEK AGO. NOW IT IS DOING IT EVERY OTHER DAY. CANT SEEM TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARED, EMI LIT & CAR WENT FROM GEAR TO CLUTCH CAUSING LOSS OF POWER & COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES CAR WENT BACK INTO GEAR & WAS ABLE TO REGAIN PROPER SPEED. WHEN I FILLED WITH GAS THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WENT OFF. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 400 MILES THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE, FORTUNATELY IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY & I WAS ABLE TO GET IN RIGHT LANE. IF THERE HAD BEEN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT STAYED ON SO I TOOK MY JEEP TO A MECHANIC. THE CODE SAYS THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER FOR THE TRANSMISSION, IT GETS TOO HOT& THE CAR GOES OUT OF GEAR TO THE CLUTCH, THEN BACK IN GEAR. I READ ONLINE THERE ARE 37,000 RECALLS ON THIS JEEP PROBLEM, BUT NONE ON MINE. THERE NEEDS TO BE ONE!

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AT THE END OF 2016 BRAND NEW A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY SHIFTER. I TOOK IT BACK AFTER A FEW MONTHS AND THEY CHANGE THE PART ON IT WHICH IS SEEM TO WORK THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON FOR A WHILE. BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT COMES BACK ON SO I KNEW SOMETHING ELSE WAS WRONG. NOW MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR DOES MULTIPLE THINGS FOR EXAMPLE FALLING COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS. IT EVEN GOT TO THE POINT WHEN AFTER I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE THERE AFTER. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND LIFE-THREATENING TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOT KNOWING AND ANY GIVEN TIME WHEN SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

THE SHIFTING WHILE IN OPERATION IS VERY ROUGH, JERKS HARD WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN THE LIGHT WILL COME ON INDICATING THE AUTOMATIC FUNCTION THAT TURNS THE ENGINE OFF WHILE STOPPED TO SAVE FUEL ISN'T WORKING. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 57,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A MONTH MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY BOTH ON HWY AND IN TOWN AND ALWAYS WHILE IN MOTION FROM 35 MPH+

VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, STEERING LOCKS AND THE DASH LIGHTS UP WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS PUT VEHICLE AND "PARK" AND THEN SELECT DESIRED GEAR. I HAVE TWO SMALL SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. I KEEP MY VEHICLE UP TO DATE ON MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. I READ OVER 100 PEOPLE'S EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS ON LINE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT I AM PAYING A CAR PAYMENT, HAVE LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON A LESS THAN 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, AND HAVING THESE KIND OF SAFETY CONCERNS. WE HAVE ONE VEHICLE, LIMITED MEANS, AND TONS OF THERAPY APPOINTMENTS. TODAY, MY CAR DIED WITH NO WARNING ON A BUSY ROAD, GIVES ME APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS TO PULL TO SAFETY BEFORE THERE IS NO SPEED/ABILITY TO MANUEVER THE VEHICLE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE RISK IS SO HIGH, AND THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON LINE SHOW A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS AMONG HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES BY JEEP AND NOTHING. THE DEALERSHIPS/SERVICE CONTINUE TO MAKE COMMENTS LIKE "WE WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE". TO BE SPECIFIC: DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR, STRAIGHT FOLLOWING A RIGHT TURN....LOST POWER. LIGHTS WENT ON THE DASH, MESSAGE ABOVE APPEARED. IT TOOK TWO TRIES TO RESTART TO GET ME OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

ABOUT EVERY 5 WKS MY CAR SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER AND ALL LIGHTS COME ON. NOBODY CAN GET IT TO STAY OFF. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD JUST STARTED MY CAR AND TRYING TO PUT IT IN GEAR. DIFFERENT TIMES OF DAY SOME TIMES IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DRIVEN AND OTHERS IT HADN'T.

TAMARA RECALL IN 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE THAT I BOUGHT 8 MONTHS AGO, A LIGHT CAME ON THE NOTICE SCREEN THAT SAID 'SERVICE SHIFTER'. IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE TODAY ALREADY, IT WENT AWAY WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF BUT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT TIME I STARTED DRIVING. I'M NERVOUS THIS ISSUE MAY LEAVE ME STRANDED. NOT A GOOD LIGHT.

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER IN THE BRAKES, ACCELERATOR AND STEERING WHEEL. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT A FEW TIMES TAKING A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON MAY 6TH ON A BUSY STREET, ONCE ON MAY 9TH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND TWICE ON MAY 11TH ON ANOTHER BUSY STREET. THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR. I WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 3 MONTHS OR 2000 MILES. NO OIL LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON TO WARN ME ALL MY CAR KEPT DOING WAS STALLING TELLING ME TO SHIFT TO PARK. I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN OR ADD OIL BEFORE DRIVING IT TO THEM. THE DEALER EXPLAINED WHEN THE DIPSTICK DOES NOT "FEEL" OIL THE ENTIRE CAR ESSENTIALLY SHUTS DOWN AND LOCKS UP IN ORDER TO "PROTECT THE ENGINE" CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL IT. THEY MIGHT BE PROTECTING THE ENGINE FROM BURNING OIL, BUT TO LOSE FUNCTIONALITY PUTS MY LIFE AND FAMILY IN DANGER. JEEP/CHRYSLER HAVE HAD THIS REPORTED BEFORE AS I FOUND NUMEROUS CASES OF THE SAME STORY. HOWEVER NO RECALL HAVE BEEN ISSUED. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAS NOT TOLD ANY OF THIS INFORMATION WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MANY ISSUES HAVE TO BE REPORTED BEFORE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS BECOME A CONCERN.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE KEEPS COMING ON WITH NO APPARENT ISSUE AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT SHOWN

RANDOMLY..... WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL TURN RED. THE LIGHTS STAY RED & THE WARNING STAYS ON THE DASH & I AM UNABLE TO SEE MY SPEED LIMIT OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE DETAILS. THIS STAYS ON UNTIL I PARK & TURN MY VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAPPENS DAILY AT RANDOM MOMENTS, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR MOVING, NO MATTER THE SPEED BEING TRAVELED, & NO MATTER THE LOCATION. IT IS ALWAYS RANDOM.

TAKATA RECALL: THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING UP LAST MONTH BROUGHT ON BY A COMPUTER FLAW THAT WAS DISCOVER BY CHRYSLER. THE CAR WOULD STALL AFTER COMING TO A HALT/SLOW DOWN. BASED ON THE MEMBERS OF AAMCO, CHRYSLER RELEASED A BULLETIN '21-032-18' THAT INDICATES A COMPUTER UPDATE THAT REVEALED THAT THE 'TCM POWER CIRCUIT CONTROL. HIGH.' THIS WAS NOT A DRIVER/OWNER ISSUE, THIS WAS A CHRYSLER/JEEP ISSUE. AFTER I RETURNED FROM MY TDY AND HAVING PAID $185 FOR A COMPUTER UPDATE, I WAS LOOKING REIMBURSEMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. IT'S DISGUSTING HOW A LOYAL CUSTOMER CAN BE TREATED SO POORLY WITHOUT HAVING AN ISSUE RESOLVED FOR SOMETHING THAT THE COMPANY CAUSED.

SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED IN TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN THE SPAN OF A MONTH. FIRST ENCOUNTER, WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER TAKING THE CAR OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT. I WAS ENTERING THE DRIVE AWAY AND ALL OF SUDDEN, SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED AND ALL THE GEAR INDICATORS FLASHED BRIGHT RED. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP,, I PROBABLY PUT LESS THAT 10 MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE IGNITION. PUT IT IN DRIVE, THIS TIME WHILE STATIONARY AND IT APPEARED AGAIN. I DIDN'T TAKE A PHOTO THE FIRST TIME, AS I ASSUMED IT WAS A FLUKE. DIDN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE AFTER THAT TILL TODAY, MAY 17TH. I STARTED UP THE IGNITION AND HEADED ON MY WAY OFF, WITHIN 5 MINS OF MY RIDE, I HEARD A BEEP. LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE AGAIN SO I DROVE OFF INTO A PARKING LOT TO CHECK OUT THE ISSUE. I STOPPED AND WENT INTO PARK. THE RED INDICATORS WERE STILL APPARENT. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE 5X AND REPEATED TURNING ON THE IGNITION, PUT IT IN DRIVE, SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR APPEARS AND GOING INTO PARK AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE ALL WHILE STATIONARY IN THE PARKING LOT. AFTER THE 6TH TIME, I TOOK IT SLOW AND IT DIDN'T APPEAR. SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I PROBABLY HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE JEEP LESS THAN 100 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DISENGAGE FROM DRIVE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP MOVING, ESPECIALLY ON STEEP GRADS.

THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDS REPLACED FIR SHIFTER , SEE ATTACHED PIC . FAULTY WIRING IS CAUSING SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT TO COME ON.

SERVICE SHIFTER SHOWS UP ON DISPLAY AND ALL LIGHTS AT SHIFTER GLOW RED

MY SERVICE SHIFTER POPS UP AND I HAVE HAD IT SWITCH AND OR SERVICED OVER 5 TIMES

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR CHECKED OIL THERE WAS NONE I AM NOT DUE FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE FOR 500 MILES I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 19,000 MILES I HOPE THIS IS FIXED IF NOT I WILL BE GETTING RID OF THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE AN JEEP PRODUCT EVERY AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY

I BOUGHT IT USED AND IT HAD 1 RECALL THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED AND NOW THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE READ 100S OF OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH LITTLE TO NO PERMANENT RESOLUTION.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. NO APPARENT REASON.

MY 2016 JEEP WITH AROUND 23,000 MILES 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ERROR CODE HAS COME ON. IT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE. JUST MY GOOGLING IT THIS MORNING BROUGHT UP HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE.

TURNING AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY ROAD, AN ALERT CAME UP ONTO MY DASH THAT READ TO SHIFT, CAR MUST BE IN PARK, HOWEVER NOTHING TOUCHED MY SHIFTER. MY CAR THEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, NO TIME TO PULL OVER OR GET OFF THE ROAD. THE POWER WAS STILL ON BUT THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. I BRAKED TO RE START AND IT SPUTTERED, BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND SO DID ENGINE LIGHT. TRIED STARTING AGAIN AND AFTER A FEW SPUTTERS, CAR CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF OF BUSY ROAD. CAR HAS DONE THIS 3 TIMES TOTAL NOW, EVERY TIME THE SAME. NOTHING SEEMS WRONG WHILE DRIVING, NO ERROR ALERTS OR ANYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT 20 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND "SHIFT TO KEY FOR PARK TO SELECT THE DESIRED GEAR" APPEARED ON THE INSTUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE THREE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT CALLED SANSONE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (LOCATED AT 100 US HIGHWAY, US-1, AVENEL, NJ 07001, (866) 809-9999) AND A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,280. *DT

THE DIP STICK ONLY REACHING THE TOP 3 QUARTS OF OIL.I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF MID DRIVE(IN MOTION) TO PROTECT THE ENGINE EVEN IF YOU ARE GOING 70 MPH(ON THE CITY STREET, HIGH WAY, OR LOCAL ROAD AND WHILE TURNING). THIS IS SO THE ENGINE DOES NOT BURN THE OIL. THIS MEANS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT AND LOOSES POWER AND CONTROL WITH NO NOTIFCATION.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. MUST STOP AND SHUT DOWN TO RESET.

SEVERAL TIMES UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE UP IN THE 3 MONTHS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT, THE DISPLAY IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER READS "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL LIGHTS FOR THE GEAR SELECTOR LIGHT UP RED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED.

PURCHASED A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 LATITUDE. HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT. TWO WEEKS INTO OWNING IT ON HARD TURNS THE BATTERY LIGHT AND DASH WOULD LIGHT UP. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD BE MAKING A TURN (IN DRIVE) AND WOULD FAIL ACCELERATE OR CONTINUE IN THAT GESR CAUSES IT TO STALL INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN LOOSE STEERING CONTROL. THE CAR WOULD THEN SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC IT WAS TURNED OFF. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL 3 OR 4 TIMES. IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING ON THE ENTRANCE TO THE HIGH WAY. THE CAR WOULD DRIVE FOR A COUPLE MILES AND THEN STALL OUT AGAIN. NOT A SAFE CAR AND DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ST HIGH SPEEDS.

I'VE HAD MY JEEP SINCE OCTOBER OF 2016, IT HAD 11,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT, AND RANDOMLY SINCE THEN, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING COMES ON. IT COMPLETELY LOCKS UP MY DISPLAY, SO I CAN'T EVEN SEE MY SPEEDOMETER. IF I PULL OVER AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON,IT WILL RESET, SOMETIMES COMING ON AGAIN IN MINUTES, SOMETIMES MONTHS.. I'VE HAD IT IN TO SERVICE 3 TIMES. NEVER FIXES IT.. SOME DEALERS HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF IT.. SOME SAY IT JUST NEEDS AN UPDATE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TAKE MY JEEP IN FOR AN "UPDATE" EVERY OTHER MONTH.. EVERY OTHER CAR ON THE ROAD IS FINE WITHOUT AN UPDATE. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME A GOOD EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS, IS IT DANGEROUS? NO ONE CAN TELL ME ANYTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED, DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, DRIVING THROUGH TOWN, IT'S EVEN HAPPENED WHEN IT'S BEEN PARKED AND I FIRST START IT UP.

TAMARA RECALL...EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP BRANNEW THE RADIO SOMETIMES DOES NOT WORK, SERVICE SHIFTER IS COMING UP, ALSO OTHER THINGS ARE COMING UP SAYING AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN SERVICE..WHEELS ARE NOT STRAIGHT, AMONG OTHER THINGS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A JEEP THAT'S 3 YEARS OLD. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 99.00 TO CHECK IT OUT PLUS WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS. I'M VERY DISGUSTED BECAUSE I LOVE THIS CAR, TOOK MY ANXIETY AWAY, BUT NOW I'M NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT PERIOD. I HATE TO TRADE IT OFF FOR A TOYOTA OR HONDA. PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS. IS IT DANGEROUS TO RIDE WITH SERVICE SHIFTER LIT? THIS SHOULD BE A FREE RECALL TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING. NO ONE HAS ANSWERS. I'VE SEENIN THE INTERNET MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP

ENGINE SHUTS OFF ON SHARP TURNS. DISPLAY CENTER SAYS MESSAGE SAYING VECHICLE MUST BE STOPPED TO CHANGE GEARS AND SHUTS OFF ENGINE. THE SHIFTER WAS NOT TOUCHED WHEN MESSAGE CAME UP. THEN ENGINE DOESN'T WANT TO START QUICKLY. IT HESITATES. STUTTERS TO RESTART.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE TURNING SHARP TURN. HESITATES TO RESTART

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I-20 MY VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT CAME ON (SEE PHOTOS ATTACHED) AND MY DASHBOARD REFLECTED 'SERVICE SHIFTER' LIGHT CAME ON AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ARE ALL RED,P,R,N,D ON 4/18/2019. I PANICKED BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF STATE IN AUGUSTA, GA BUT LIVES IN MADISON, AL. I WAS STRESSED AND PULLED OVER TO GOOGLE THIS TO SEE IF THERE WERE INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MARIETTA, GA ' ED VOYLES' THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A COMPLAINT. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS BECOMES A RECALL

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER JUST A COUPLE MINUTES IN MY SUBDIVISION THE VEHICLE STALLED & WOULD MOVE. I MADE 2 TURNS, ONE RIGHT & ONE LEFT THEN IT STALLED. THE "CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT" WENT ON & SAID "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR". AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT RESTARTED. THE JEEP MANUAL INDICATED NOT TO DRIVE IT WITH THIS CODE SO I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER & THEY DID A PCM FLASH UPDATE. THEY TESTED THE OIL LEVEL & SAID IT WAS FINE. NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AGAIN TOWED IT TO DEALER. THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT & CHANGED THE BATTERY. THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO REPLICATE WHAT HAPPENED & INDICATED THERE WERE NO STORED CODES. THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE VEHICLE STARTED, I BEGAN DRIVING AROUND THE CORNER IN THE SUBDIVISION AFTER TURNING RIGHT AND AGAIN THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED WITH SAME INDICATOR LIGHT & MESSAGE AS THE FIRST TIME. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER & THEY SAID THE OIL WAS LOW, THOUGH THE VEHICLE INDICATED 47% OIL LIFE WITH ABOUT 3,800 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE, WHICH WAS LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO. DEALER TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT FOR 1,000 MILES & THEN BRING IT BACK SO THEY CAN DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT STALLS, AS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE, IT JUST SHUTS OFF & DIDN'T COAST SO I COULD MOVE OVER. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK & DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY CHRYSLER & THAT THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE NOTIFICATION PRIOR TO IT HAPPENING.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT, CHECK TRANSMISSION MESSAGE KEEPS COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. SO FAR HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE WHERE THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BY REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER. BOTH TIMES THE MESSAGE COMES BACK WITHIN 50 MILES OF USE. ONCE IT IS TURNED OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON BUT THE CHECK TRANSMITTION MESSAGE GOES AWAY.

JEEP CHEROKEE BEGINS TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT HESITATION WHILE IDLE AND UNRESPONSIVE MANEUVERABILITY DURING ACCELERATION. IGNITION COILS FAIL ON 2.4L ENGINE WITH CONSISTENCY - #4, #2, #3 (3 OF 4 IGNITION COILS) CAUSING MISFIRE IN ENGINE CHAMBER. LACK OF CONTROL DURING ACCELERATION / DECELERATION CREATE HIGH CONCERN FOR SAFETY WHILE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND GENERALLY WHILE DRIVING.

FROM THE TIME WE DROVE THIS VEHICLE OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT SLIPS, MAKES A THUNKING SOUND WHEN IT'S SHIFTING GEARS, AND ON OCCASION IT STALLS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WE FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE IS A ROAD HAZARD. .

JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT COMES ON. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE ALREADY POST ABOUT THEIR CHEROKEES SAYING THE SAME THING AS WELL. CALLED A MECHANIC SHOP THEY NEVER HEARD OF IT AND RECOMMENDED ME CALLING THE DEALER. SO I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. IT COMES ON WHEN I START THE CAR OR SOMETIMES IT COMES ON WHILE IN MOTION.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON DASH AND ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFTER STAY LIT UP RED. ONCE I TURN OFF VEHICLE AND TURN BACK ON IT TURNS OFF BUT COMES BACK ON AFTER A WHILE OF DRIVING. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE LIKE THIS ONCE THE LIGHTS COME ON.

MY VEHICLE JEEP WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND I ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN MY JEEP SLOWED WAY DOWN. WHEN I ACCELERATED IT WOULD HARDLY MOVE. MIND YOU I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE!! VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD WITH MY JEEP WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY IT JUMPS BUCKS AND REVS UP ON ITS OWN WHEN IT WAS DOING THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO BE HOOKED UP TO TESTER TO SEE WHY MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON? HAD TO REPLACE COIL PACK #4 AND I DID IT AGAIN 6 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD TO REPLACE COIL PACK #2. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 59064 MILES. I AM VERY SCARED TERRIFIED AND NERVOUS DRIVING ME JEEP.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ARE ALL RED,P,R,N,D. THEY STAY LITE UP. IT HAPPENS WHEN I SHIFT GEARS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR PARK IT STILL LIGHTS UP AND DOESN'T TURN OFF UNLESS I RESTART MY ENGINE. I'VE RESEARCHED AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEPS INCLUDING 2018 MODELS

VEHICLE IS LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ON TIME. USES OIL, THERMOSTAT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. SPENT THREE HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE SHIFTER ISSUE. ONE HOUR LATER THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME BACK ON!

PERIODIC STRONG GAS SMELL IN CABIN.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. PRESSED ON GAS WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARED ON IN-DASH DRIVER COMMUNICATION CENTER. VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO SECOND GEAR. MESSAGES WOULD NOT CLEAR FROM INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT. TURNED CAR OFF. AFTER LETTING IT SET FOR 5 MIN, TURNED CAR BACK ON MESSAGES STILL THERE. I WANTED TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD CHANGE GEARS, SO I DROVE IT A LITTLE DISTANCE AND IT DID CHANGE GEARS. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS INFORMED TODAY, THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO VERIFY THE TRANSMISSION ERROR CODES. CURRENT FIX IS A NEW TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. VEHICLE HAD EXACTLY 48K MILES ON IT WHEN DROPPED OFF AT DEALERSHIP. I HAD PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED TO DEALER ABOUT HARD - JERKING SHIFTS AND THEY JUST REASSURED ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION OPTIMIZING ITS SHIFTING.

WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER IN THE BRAKES, ACCELERATOR AND STEERING WHEEL. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS GOING UPWARDS OF 25MPH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT A FEW TIMES TAKING A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ON THE 14TH OF MARCH AND ONCE ON THE 15TH OF MARCH. I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAVE TOLD PEOPLE TO MAKE SURE TO CHECK THEIR OIL. I WAS TOLD THE DIPSTICK DOES NOT REACH THE BOTTOM OF THE OIL PAN AND ONLY GOES DOWN ABOUT HALFWAY (3 OF THE 6 TOTAL QUARTS THE PAN HOLDS). WHEN THE DIPSTICK DOES NOT "FEEL" OIL THE ENTIRE CAR ESSENTIALLY SHUTS DOWN AND LOCKS UP IN ORDER TO "PROTECT THE ENGINE" CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL IT. THEY MIGHT BE PROTECTING THE ENGINE FROM BURNING OIL, BUT TO LOSE FUNCTIONALITY PUTS MY LIFE IN DANGER. JEEP/CHRYSLER HAVE HAD THIS REPORTED BEFORE AS I FOUND NUMEROUS CASES OF THE SAME STORY. HOWEVER, THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 27MPH OR IF I WAS NOT IN AN AREA THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS NOT TOLD ANY OF THIS INFORMATION WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR

MY JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 2016'S ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF MID DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES WHILE ON THE ROAD FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS OR SO. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS OR WHOMEVER MAY BE WITH ME IN MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE ISSUE BEGINS WITH THE DASH STARTING TO FLICKER, THE AC AND RADIO WILL SHUT OFF, ANY ACTIVELY ENABLED FUNCTIONS WILL SHUT OFF/DISABLE (LANE SENSE, CRUISE CONTROL, AUTO START/STOP), TWO TIMES OUT OF THE THREE, THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF SECONDS AFTER, CAUSING THE GREATEST RISK TO SAFETY SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ESSENTIALLY CRUISING WITH NO POWER WHATSOEVER AT AN AVERAGE OF 70MPH (MOSTLY DRIVE ON FREEWAYS/HIGHWAYS), FORCING ME TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/SHOULDER IN ORDER TO BREAK TO A FULL STOP, PLACE THE VEHICLE ON PARK AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE JEEP HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN (SAFETY RECALL U63). I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I RECEIVED THE ASSESSMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THAT THE RECALL ISSUE WAS FIXED. A WEEK AFTER I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT TURNED OFF AFTER SO BY THE TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THEY "COULDN'T HELP ME" SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. I ALSO DID NOT HAVE A WAY TO PROVE THAT THIS ISSUE WAS HAPPENING STILL TO MY VEHICLE SO I LEFT DISAPPOINTED AND SURE IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AT SOME POINT. AS OF TODAY 28 MARCH 2019 THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY ON THE WAY TO WORK AROUND 0836AM, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO RECORD A VIDEO OF IT AS IT WAS HAPPENING THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHUT OFF DURING THE VIDEO. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW, IN 2016, FROM A DEALERSHIP IN WA STATE.

CAR SHUTS OFF WITH OUT WARNING WHEN DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE MESSAGE "SERVICE SHIFTER" ILLUMINATED.

TRANSMISSION RECALL. WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' APPEARS ON DASH, AND VEHICLE CEASES TO ACCELERATE. TRANSMISSION ESSENTIALLY DROPS TO FIRST GEAR AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND THAT POINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED LOS ANGELES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2025 S FIGUEROA ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 90007, (833) 866-5795) AND SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT FOR THIS WEEKEND.

TCM MODULAR FAILS IN THE SEALED 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN 8 GEAR AFTER COMMING OF AN EXIT RAMP ENGINE LIFE CAME ON MASHES ON THE GAS TO GO THRU THE INTERSECTION NO POWER STUCK IN 8 GEAR WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT .. LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND ON COMING TRAFFIC HAS TO STOP AND ALLOW ME TO GET TRUE VERY SLOWLY... HORNS BLOWING AND CARS SWIRLING AROUND ME... VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CONSTANT SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO EXECUTIVE DODGE JEEP (203-949-7430, LOCATED AT 406 S ORCHARD ST, WALLINGFORD, CT 06492). THE DEALER REPLACED THE PCV VALVE, BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED IN AN UNSAFE MANNER ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY INDICATED THAT A BATTERY REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF A LOANER VEHICLE WOULD BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED IT. THIS SEEMED TO REBOOT THE SYSTEM AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A "GLITCH" AND THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE WORKING PROPERLY TO THEM SO NO REPAIR WAS DONE. A FEW MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN EXCEPT TURNING IT OFF AND ON ONLY WORKED FOR A FEW MILES BEFORE HAPPENING AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE. WHAT KIND OF CAR SHUTS DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE!!! THIS ISSUE PUT MY FAMILY IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND JEEP REFUSES TO OWN UP TO HAVING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY.

2016 JEEP KL TRAILHAWK (V6) WILL RANDOMLY HAVE NO ELECTRICITY/POWER AT ALL. NOT EVEN TO UNLOCK DOORS OR FOR THE DOME LIGHTS TO COME ON. THIS IS AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS OVERNIGHT, FOR 10 TO 12 HOURS. I HAVE TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO JUMP START IT AND IT WILL RUN FINE FOR DAYS UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 WEEKS. THE BATTERY IS NEW. REPLACED 12/18, AND HAS BEEN TESTED SUCCESSFULLY BY 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS ALONG WITH THE JEEP'S CHARGING SYSTEM PASSING ALL TESTS... ALL CABLES/ CONNECTORS ARE TIGHT AND CLEAN. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL START, OR NOT.

WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR JUST AFTER BRAKING, THE ENGINE WILL BEEP AND THEN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE SCREEN SAYS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART IT. IT TAKES SEVERAL MOMENTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART. *DT*JB

SHORTLY AFTER I GET GAS THE VEHICLE WILL GO FROM DRIVE TO IDLE AND A WARNING MESSAGE WILL POP UP THAT SAYS I NEED TO SHIFT TO PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE WAITING TO TAKE A LEFT AT LIGHTS AND SOMETIMES AS SOON AS I GO TO PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED, AND THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (6019 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615), BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED AN OIL CHANGE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,175.

STALLS FOR NO REASON EMERGENCY BREAK TURNS ON BY ITSELF WON'T ACCELERATE WHILE ORIGINALLY IN MOTION ON FREEWAY TURNS OFF WHILE TURNING ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL ICONS GOING BIZERK

"4X4 UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED "MESSAGE CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHEN I STARTED IT. IT WAS PARKED FOR AROUND 4 HOURS AND WAS STATIONARY. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AFTER A DAY AND A HALF WAS TOLD A WIRE HAD ROTTED AND BROKE.

WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION, AND THEN WE WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. WE PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AND WE DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE BEFORE THE SAME MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. AGAIN WE WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY. IT WASN'T MAKING ANY NOISE. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL I WAS TOLD WAS TO TURN IT OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURN IT BACK ON TO SEE IF THE SERVICE LIGHT WOULD RESET. IF NOT TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, BUT SINCE IT WAS SUNDAY THEY WERE ALL CLOSED. ALL MY FAMILY WAS WITH ME IN THE CAR WHICH WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. I FOLLOWED THE DEALERSHIPS INSTRUCTIONS BUT IT DID NOT WORK. WE STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND IT DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE FORWARD ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WENT AGAIN. WE WERE ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME SO WE JUST HEADED BACK. THE SERVICE MESSAGE NEVER WENT AWAY AND WERE ONLY ABLE TO TRAVEL AT LOW SPEED. I HAVE CALLED FCA IN THE PAST WHEN A SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE DASHBOARD BUT IT JUST FLASHED AND DIDN'T STAY. THIS IS A NEW CAR AND I AM VERY UPSET IT HAS ALL THESE ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND STAYING STATIONARY STARTS TO SHAKE. WHILE DRIVING SHAKES EVEN MORE AND HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING WITH MY TODDLER IN CAR SEAT IN BACK. THEN IT DID IT AGAIN 2 MORE TIMES JUST GLAD MY SON WASN'T IN THE CAR. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP TODAY FEB-6-2019. THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS OF THESE TYPE OF ISSUES. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY STILL AS IT IS A LEASE. I WILL NOT BE LEASING JEEP ANYMORE. *DT *DT*JB

TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK MY JEEP HAS JUST STALLED WHILE DRIVING, BOTH ON 2/1/19 AND 2/4/19 I WAS GOING AROUND 35-40 MPH. I AM ABLE TO COAST THE JEEP OFF THE ROAD AND THEN I NEEDED TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT STARTS UP AGAIN. THE ON BOARD COMPUTER SYSTEM DISPLAY DOES NOT SHOW ANY PROBLEMS. UPON RESEARCH IT SEEMS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM.*DT*JB

CAR WAS IN DRIVE/RUN MODE AND CAR CUT OFF. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. CAR COASTED TO STOP. UNABLE TO CONTROL. *DT*JB

THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE SCREEN AND YOU CAN'T TELL IF THE THE IS IN DPRN BECUASE ALL THE LIGHTS ARE RED. THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. OR JERKS WHEN IT FINALLY DOES. THIS CARE HESITATES WHILE IN MOTION AND AS WELL AS WHEN STATIONARY AND TRYING TO MOVE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE RECALL THEY HAD WAS ONLY FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH THE SHIFTER BUT THIS ISSUE SHOULD ALSO BE A RECALL WITH THEM COVERING THE REPAIRS. I HAVE LESS THAN 50K MILES THERE IS NO REASON WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY BECUASE THE SHIFTER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY THEY SELL YOU.

WHILE DRIVING AT REGULAR SPEED MY CAR HAS STOPPED RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE & WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE IT RESTARTED. MY HEAT HAS STOPPED WORKING - I TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT & WAS TOLD THE "HARNESS" IS CORRODED. MY CAR HAS $43K MILES - HOW CAN THIS BE ALREADY? *DT *DT*JB

ENGINE STALLS AND DIES WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. AFTER SHUTDOWN A MESSAGE ON THE DASH TELLS YOU TO PUT IT INTO PARK TO START THE CAR AGAIN, ENGINE WILL RESTART AFTER 2 MIN BUT WILL FAIL TO RESTART IF YOU TRY SOONER. VERY DANGEROUS, THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES NOW WHILE DRIVING. STARTED AT 33K MILES AND I AM NOW AT 42K, 1ST TIME DEALER SAID FILL UP OIL, 2ND TIME SERVICE DEPT SAID NOTHING WRONG BUT UPDATED SOFTWARE, 3RD TIME SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE AND NO IDEA BUT TOLD ME TO TRADE MY CAR IN FOR SOMETHING ELSE. VERY DANGEROUS AS HAS HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY WHILE MOVING, EACH TIME IS WITHOUT WARNING AND YOU LOSE ALL ENGINE AND POWER. *BF *DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WITH 45,196 MILES DISPLAYED THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE PRND SHIFTER LIGHTS WERE ALL LIT UP RED. PULLED OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE MESSAGE DID NOT APPEAR. LATER IN THE DAY, THE RADIO DISPLAY STOPPED WORKING. SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL BETWEEN CHANGES, IT SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON A ROAD BECAUSE IT HAS NO OIL. NO WARNING MESSAGES OR LIGHTS POP UP. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY OTHER CARS TWICE (WITH A CHILD IN THE BACKSEAT) BECAUSE THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND THERE IS NO OIL IN THE CAR. MY SCREEN SAYS I HAVE OVER 50% REMAINING UNTIL THE NEXT OIL CHANGE! I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY OTHER CARS!

SERVICE SHIFTER CAME ON IN MY JEEP AND WOULD NOT DRIVE/SHIFT GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! CARS WERE SWERVING AROUND ME, BLOWING THEIR HORNS, AND I COULDN'T EVEN STEP ON THE GAS TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD ON TO THE SHOULDER. ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE THAT HAPPENED MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!!

THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN! 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE CAR WOULD STOP WHILE YOU DRIVING HIGH SPEED WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGN AND ALL THE LIGHT WILL COME ON CAN NOT SHIFTING OR RESTART THE CAR. IT HAPPENED ON ME TWICE ALREADY. ONE TIME ON HIGHWAY I-95, ONE TIME ON A BUSY LOCAL ROAD AT PA. JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS COMPUTER UPDATING, I COULD NOT GET IT. AFTER FIRST TIME THEY REPAIRED IT, I DID FEEL SOMETHING WIRED WITH THE CAR. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP TWO MORE TIME FOR DIAGNOSE. THEY ALL SAID THE CAR HAD NO PROBLEM. NOT EVEN A MONTH, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SUDDENLY STOP! THIS TIME THEY STILL TRYING TO FIX IT FOR ME, BUT I COULD NOT TRUST JEEP AGAIN. I MEAN IF THEY CAN FIX IT, IT WOULD NOT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THREE TIME WHAT EVER FIX OR DIAGNOSE.

OUR 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE (LATITUDE 4WD) HAS BEEN STALLING AFTER A COLD START. THE BATTERY INDICATOR FLASHES AND THEN REGISTERS A MESSAGE TO PLACE THE CAR IN P TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER WAITING 30-60 SEC, SOMETIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 1/14/19 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T ANY OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. THE ENGINE IS POSSIBLY BURNING OIL BUT THERE ARE NO INDICATORS OR STATUS UPDATES WHEN THE SYSTEM IS CHECKED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF AN ENGINE ISSUE WITH THE 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IS NEEDED BEFORE THE ENGINE CAN BE REPLACED (IF NEEDED). OIL CONSUMPTION TEST INITIATED 1/14/19. CHRYSLER/JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL. NEGLIGENCE BY CHRYSLER FOR NOT RESPONDING TO THIS SIGNIFICANT DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE.

TRANSMISON SERVICES

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, MY 2016 JEEP STARTED TO STALL AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND THE BATTERY SIGN FLASHES, THEN THE CAR TELLS ME TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT ABOUT TWO MINUTES THEN RESTART THE CAR. SOMETIMES I WILL MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION, SOMETIMES IT STALLS ON ME AGAIN. IT'S HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES, AND I SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. IT HAS BEEN IN A SHOP FOR THREE WEEKS NOW, AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN FIND WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY HOOK IT UP TO A MACHINE, BUT NO ERROR MESSAGES ARE REPORTED TO THEM. *DT*JB

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING.TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. WAS 3 QUARTS LOW. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED, THAT THIS ENGINE USES ABOUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES BUT THE ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF BEFORE IT WOULD BLOW ENGINE. MY HUSBAND TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT IF THEY PUT AN ENGINE IN A VEHICLE THAT USES OILS THIS WAY THEY SHOULD LET PEOPLE KNOW. WE HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER WITH NOTHING OTHER THAN HAVE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE WHICH WE DID. WE NOW KEEP OIL AND CHECK ON A REGULAR BASIS

THE RPM'S ON THIS TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE GO UP VERY HIGH BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND SLOWS ON THE OPEN ROAD. THE ENGINE DOES RUN ON ALL CYLINDERS. THE ENGINE HAS NO POWER. THIS CREATES A SAFETY RISK ON A HIGHWAY. ALSO THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKS UP WHEN YOU HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES AND THREE REAR OF THE CAR LOCKS UP AND SKIDS LEFT OF CENTER. PARTY'S OF THE SUSPENSION HAVE BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE LEFT REAR CONTROL ARM BROKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH CHRYSLER ON THREE OCCASIONS INFORMING THEM OF THE NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AND THEY WOULD WORK WITH ME TO BUY THIS CAR BACK. I DID AS REQUESTED AND NOW BEING INFORMED I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO GO TO ARBITRATION. THREE TIMES NOW WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARD ON A HIGHWAY THE EAST LOCKED UP AND THE LEFT REAR OF MY CAR SKIDDED AND I HAD NO CONTROL. I NEARLY HIT A RETAINING WALL. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

BOUGHT THE CAR 10/3/2018 WITH A FRESH OIL CHANGE, 12/18/2018 CAR SHUT OFF ON HUSBAND WHILE DRIVING WITH KIDS IN THE CAR (THE ENGINE DIED, STEERING LOCKED UP, THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED AND AN ERROR POPPED UP THAT SAID TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND SELECT THE DESIRED GEAR) NO OIL LIGHT EVER CAME ON TO WARN LOW OIL 12/20/2018 CAR SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WENT TO DEALER AND OIL CHANGE WAS COMPLETED, LESS THAN 4K MILES DRIVEN AND THERE WAS ONLY QUART OF OIL LEFT IN ENGINE (5 QT BURNED) 12/21/2018 CALLED DEALER BECAUSE CAR SKIPPED, WAS TOLD NORMAL DUE TO AIR GETTING INTO ENGINE CAUSING A MISFIRE SHOULD BE FINE NOW 1/7/2019 CAR SPUTTERED TWICE WHILE DRIVING, FELT LIKE IT SHUT OFF BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER AND THE CAR WAS LOW BY 1 QUARTS OF OIL STARTED OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING. WHEN CAR STALLS OUT IT IS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED TO "SAVE THEIR ENGINE"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT AND REAR FLOORS WERE CONSTANTLY WET. THE CONTACT ASSUMED THE WATER WAS DUE TO LEAVING THE WINDOWS OPEN AFTER A RAINY WEEKEND; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVEN WHEN THE WINDOWS WERE CLOSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERIDIAN CHRYSLER (1210 39 N, MERIDIAN, MS 39301, 833-253-1910) AND WAS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A THERMOSTAT ISSUE. MY TOTAL REPAIR COST FOR THIS ONE PROBLEM WAS $866.06 AT THE PARAMUS NJ DEALER. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAD SUCH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHEN MY CAR IS 2016 AND I HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. I'M ALSO DISAPPOINTED THAT I WAS TOLD ONLY DEALERS CAN UPDATE THE COMPUTER ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING OF SENSOR ISSUES NOTING REPAIR WORK WASN'T NECESSARY. ALSO, WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY AUTO START DID NOT WORK.

MY JEEP KEEPS BREAKING DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL WRECKS BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE NOW DONE MY OWN RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE GOING ON WITH CARS THAT HAVE MY SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS I AM ALL OVER THE US. I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WHO WERE WRITING THESE COMMENTS ON THE JEEP WEBSITE AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THEY ARE NOT DEPENDABLE AND HIGHLY UNSAFE AS THEY HAVE ALSO ALMOST GOT INTO WRECKS BECAUSE OF IT. AT THIS POINT ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS GETS HURT DUE TO THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION OR WORSE, DEATH. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO STOP THE SALE OF THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I AM STUNNED NOTHING HAS YET TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK 3 TIMES AND THE ISSUE IS NOT GETTING FIXED. NOW, I'M TOLD THAT THEY ARE HAVING TO OPEN SOME "STAR" THING - WHICH HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ASKING THE MANUFACTURE IF THESE ISSUES ARE COMMON AND WHAT TO DO TO FIX THEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE BEEN PUT THROUGH HELL AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE CAR CAN BE FIXED. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIPS NOT BEING ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG SO THEY JUST GIVE THE BROKEN CAR BACK TO THE OWNER AND IT GOES BACK ON THE ROAD. I AM TELLING YALL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *DT CONSUMER STATED CAR IS FIXED.*JB

FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO TURN ME AWAY

PURCHASED VEHICLE ON 12/14/2015. ON 1/25/17, AT 17,000 MILES THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY AND CAUSING A TRAFFIC ISSUE. LAW ENFORCEMENT HAD TO BE CALLED TO RE-DIRECT TRAFFIC. SINCE THE FIRST STALL, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE LOCAL DODGE/JEEP DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUES (4/20/17, 8/18/17, 3/25/18 AND 12/4/18). THEY HAVE REPLACED COILS, FILTERS AND EXPLAINED THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN IF IT SENSES LOW OIL. THEY CONTINUE TO STATE THE OIL CONSUMPTION AS THE REASON FOR THE STALLS. THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION BUT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN EVERY 1000K MILES TO CHECK THE OIL. THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON 12/25/18. LUCKILY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO STOP. IF NOT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT WITH MY TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE. USUALLY IT TAKES SEVERAL HOURS FOR THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN BUT ON THIS INCIDENT THE VEHICLE STARTED WITHIN 5 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SHOWING A "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND THE DEALER STATED IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WAS BACK ON WITHIN 15 DAYS OF REPLACING THE BATTERY. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. IN THE LAST 4 DAYS MY CAR HOW JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF 3 TIMES ON 12/23/18, 12/26/18 AND 12/27/18, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN 4 TIMES BUT I DIDN'T DRIVE ON CHRISTMAS DAY. THE FIRST 2 TIMES IT HAPPENED I WAS LEAVING MY WORK PARKING LOT DRIVING NO MORE THAN 10-15 MPH. TODAY 12/27 MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT . THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING AT ALL! LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN I STALLED. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT COULD BE AN OIL ISSUE, SO THEY ARE JUST DOING AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAID THEY RECOMMEND BRING THE CAR BACK EVERY 1000 MILES TO CHECK LEVELS!! WHAT KIND OF SOLUTION IS THAT ? I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE TO SCHOOL! I CAN'T HAVE THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING THEM!

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE AND WARNING LIGHT APPEARS TO SHIFT CAR IN GEAR. THEN CAR TURNS OFF. CAN NOT USE BREAKS, ALL ELECTRONICS FLASH AND COLTAGE LIGHT ALARM COMES ON. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE, NO ERRORS FOUND. MY CHILDREN DROVE IT TODAY AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME IN ALONG WITH A MESSAGE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS DEAD. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND AGAIN NO ERROR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT JEEP DOES NOTHING.

MY CAR, IN 4X4 MODE, LOST CONTROL ON AN OFF-RAMP AND STRUCK A CONCRETE BASE TO AN INTERSTATE STREET LIGHT. ZERO AIRBAGS WENT OFF DESPITE ME TOTALING THE CAR AND EXTENSIVE DAMAGE DONE TO THE FRONT END. THE SHEER FORCE OF THE IMPACT BRUISED MY ARM, BLACKENED MY EYE AND RIPPED MY EYELID IN HALF, INJURING MY RIGHT EYE AND SENDING ME TO THE TRAUMA UNIT FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY.

WHEN DRIVING I NOTICE WHEN I STOP ON THE BRAKE AND GAS BOTH WOULD NOT WORK. THE DASHBOARD ICON OF THE BATTERY ILLUMINATED, THE NOTIFICATION SOUND PLAYED, AND THE CAR SLOWED TO A STOP. ALSO, THE NOTIFICATION CENTER DISPLAYED "SHIFT TO PARK". I SHIFTED INTO PARK, PLACED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, AND WAVED THE CARS THAT WERE BEHIND ME TO DRIVE AROUND. MADE THE ATTEMPT TO RESTART TWICE WITH NO SUCH LUCK. THE THIRD ATTEMPT SAW THE CAR TURN BACK ON SUCCESSFULLY. ..*BF.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GLADSTONE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP & RAM (5610 N OAK TRAFFICWAY, GLADSTONE, MO 64118, (816) 455-350) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT OIL IN THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE FAILED TO OPEN WITH THE ELECTRONIC BUTTON FUNCTION. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN THE LIFTGATE WITH THE POTENTIAL RISK OF BEING IMPACTED BY THE LIFTGATE COMING DOWN. LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM BOISE (222 S AUTO DR, BOISE, ID 83709) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER RECALL CAMPAIGN AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

SOON AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE IN THE A.M. ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE APPEARED AND ALL RED LIGHTS CAME ON THE PRNDL SHIFT SELECTOR; CAUSE UNKNOWN; REPORTS OF A RECALL ONLINE THAT HAVE CAUSED A CELEBRITY FATALITY, BUT NO RECALL ON NHTSA USING VIN;

I'VE HAD A SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEAR NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEN DISAPPEAR. WHEN I WOULD TAKE IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECORD OF THAT CODE BEING DISPLAYED IN THE CAR LOG/MEMORY AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DELEARSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. UPON DOING RESEARCH ON THIS MESSAGE I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IF LEFT UNCHECKED CAN CAUSE THE VECHICLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHILE IN MOTION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENTS. I HAVE RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE WHILE BOTH STATIONARY JUST WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION ON A ROAD.

TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK OR DRIVE, THE GEAR FAILED TO SHIFT AND A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR THE SHIFTING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER; HOWEVER, A WARRANTY WOULD BE AVAILABLE WITHIN THIRTY DAYS. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED PER THE WARRANTY. THE SHIFTER CONTINUED TO FUNCTION IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM ANY POWER TRAIN RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE CAR DIED WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A SAFE PLACE, BUT CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AGAIN AFTER FOR A FEW HOURS. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND CAME TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR DIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AND HE ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND HIM. THIS IS NOT SAFE. WE HAVE A ONE MONTH OLD CHILD, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING HER IN THE CAR. *DT*JB

THIS JEEP STALLS OUT AT LOW SPEEDS AND ONCE STALLED OUT AT 55 MPH. DEALER SAYS THIS ENGINE THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER HAS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES AND IT IS QUITE NORMAL FOR THE ENGINE TO USE 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED. WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND SLOW DOWN SUCH AS TO MAKE A TURN OR STOP AT A REDLIGHT, THE ENGINE DIES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE ON IT, AND THE TEST INDICATED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED CLEANING OR THE AIR FILTER WAS DIRTY. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND THE AIR FILTER REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THE IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE I WAS IN AN INTERSECTION MAKING A TURN. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL GET HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC, IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE NOR IS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE. JEEP NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

MY PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR (FRONT AND BACK) GET FLOODED WHEN IT RAINS.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY, ALL THE SUDDEN SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON AND TRANSMISSION METER WENT UP TO THE HIGHEST POINT, CAR STOPPED BY ITSELF. BESIDE STEERING, EVERYTHING ELSE STOPPED WORKING. THANK GOD, I WAS NEXT TO EMERGENCY LINE. I ONLY GOT 30 SECOND TO GET OUT HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC ROAD.

WHEN DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST VIRGINIAN HAVING THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70 EVERYTHING WORKS FINE UNTIL YOU COME TO A STEEP DOWN HILL GRADE. SUDDENLY I WOULD LOOK DOWN AND I WOULD BE DOING 90 MILES A HOUR AND THE ENGINE RPM IS OVER 5000. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. 3 TIMES I WOULD JUST TOUCH THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE RPM WOULD IMMEDIATELY GO DOWN TO AROUND 2000 RPM. ONE TIME I HADE TO STAND ON THE BRAKES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS UNTIL THE RPM WOULD GO DOWN. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR ONE TIME. MY SON DROVE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS ON OUR WAY TO THE EAST COAST AND I DROVE THROUGH THEM ON THE WAY HOME. HE TOLD ME THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR JUST OVER 2 YEARS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS FINE. THE ONLY TIME I HAVE PROBLEMS IS IN THE MOUNTAINS ON A DOWN HILL ROAD.

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING; ON THE EXPRESSWAY, AFTER A CAR WASH, IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. ONLINE COMPLAINTS ARE PLENTIFUL...THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT!! CURRENTLY AT THE SHOP, THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

THE FIRST DAY I HAD THE CAR I TOOK IT BACK COMPLAINING OF SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR I TOOK A ROAD TRIP DURING THE TRIP A SMELL THE SCENT OF RAID OVER POWERED THE CAR AND IS STILL PRESENT IN THE CAR TODAY SO BAD AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY EIGHT HOURS.ON THAT TRIP AND I FELT AS IF I WAS GONNA PASS OUT. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THE SMELL IS STILL IN THE CAR. I ONLY DRIVE TO THE STORE AND BACK NOW.

THE TURN SIGNAL RIGHT STARTED TO GO OFF TOOK IT TO DEALER THEY REPAIR THIS HAPPEN S4 TIMES IN 2 YRS NOW THE LEFT SIDE IS DOING IT AND THE RIGHT SIDE ALSO THEY SAID IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND ITS GOING TO COST ME 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY EACHI TS NOT A PART THAT IS MOVED ITS A PLUG.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER INDICATION OF ISSUES. WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND NO INDICATION LIGHTS ON AGAIN BUT DRIVING FINE. CHECKED OIL LEVEL THIS MORNING AND IT IS AT 83% AFTER ONLY 1375 MILES. EXTREMELY UNSAFE!!! CONDITIONS WERE DARK/NIGHTTIME AND ALL ELECTRICAL SHUT OFF AS WELL LEAVING US TO BE UNSEEN AND ALMOST HIT BY 18 WHEELER. THIS IS THE 3RD MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR. IT HAS NEEDED NEW STARTER COIL, NEW THERMOSTAT AND NOW THIS.

I SAW ON CREDIT KARMA MY VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL RECALLS

I PURCHASED A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AND SINCE DAY ONE THE START/STOP FEATURE NEVER HAVE WORKED PROPERLY AND IT WASN'T UNTIL RECENTLY THAT, I WAS TOLD BY MY CURRENT DEALER THAT, IT IS THE BACKUP BATTERY AND THAT JEEP HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND SUPPOSEDLY JEEP IS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER MANUFACTURER BUT, I FEEL JEEP ALWAYS KNEW THIS AND DID NOT INFORM THE DEALERS AND CONSUMERS. THIS IS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND THE JEEP REPRESENTATIVE HAVE SAID TO ME THAT, SHE HAVE SOME PEOPLE ON HER LIST AND I AM NOT ONE OF THEM AND AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT/COMPLAIN, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION, UPDATE EITHER FROM THE DEALER OR JEEP. IF OTHER CONSUMERS JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEN; WHY JEEP FAIL TO REPORT THE SITUATION AS A "RECALL"? THE START/STOP AND BACKUP BATTERY IS NOT A CRITICAL PROBLEM THAT MIGHT STOP THE CAR FROM FUNCTIONING BUT, IF I DECIDE TO SELL OR GIVE THE CAR ON TRADE-IN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ASK ME ABOUT IT AND I'M AFRAID I MIGHT LOSE MONEY/VALUE BECAUSE OF THE FEATURE NOT WORKING.

AT 61,000 MILES MY JEEP STARTED HAVING A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE CABIN AFTER COMING TO A STOP WITH THE AUTO-START DIS-ENGAGED. READING ONLINE, MANY PEOPLE ON THE FORUMS HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH CHEROKEES SINCE THE EARLY 2000'S WITH NO KNOWN MALFUNCTION TO FIX. THE EXHAUST SMELL HAS CAUSED HEADACHES IN THE LAST WEEK.

A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. WE HAD IT SERVICED ONCE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL GEARS ARE LIT UP AS TO SAY YOU'RE IN ALL GEARS P,R,N,D....ETC. THE CAR AT TIMES WON'T PICK UP SPEED RIGHT AWAY AND ALSO PAUSES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

WHILE DRIVING AND VEHICLE IN MOTION UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE BY ITSELF WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SAFETY CONCERNS. VEHICLES ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON AND JEEP DEALERSHIP CAN NOT DIAGNOSE AND PROPERLY FIX VEHICLE. VEHICLE EXPERIENCES UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING CAUSING MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS.

JEEP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. NOW THE SECOND ENGINE, AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES OF DRIVING, IS ALSO CONSUMING EXCESS OIL. PER CHRYSLER'S SERVICE BULLETIN 09-007-15 PUBLISHED ON 7/31/15, A 2016 MODEL YEAR VEHICLE IS ONLY ALLOWED TO CONSUME UP TO ONE QUART OF OIL PER 2,000 MILES DURING THE FIRST 50,000 MILES. JEEP SHOULD OBVIOUSLY BE PREPARING FOR A MASSIVE RECALL ISSUE HERE, AS THIS IS THE MOST COMMON ISSUE HERE FOR ALL JEEP CHEROKEE'S THAT HAVE THIS MODEL ENGINE.

SHORTLY AFTER A RIGHT TURN INTO A SHORT STEEP UPHILL SECTION OF ROAD, THE CAR JUST DIED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE DISPLAY MESSAGE SAID TO SHIFT INTO P THEN SELECT A GEAR. THE CAR HAD NO FUNCTIONALITY, IT WAS DEAD AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION. PUT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WAS ABLE TO OPERATE FOOT BRAKE WHICH WAS ALSO UNRESPONSIVE TO THAT POINT - PANICKING THAT THE CAR WOULD ROLL ACROSS THE INTERSECTION INTO THE DITCH. CAR WOULD NOT HOWEVER START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND TRIES, THE CAR STARTED AND DROVE AS THOUGH NOTHING HAD HAPPENED AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DISPLAY. DROVE HOME FROM WORK AND TO THE DEALER, LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. BUT SCARED THAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT REPEAT AND DELIBERATELY TOOK BACKROADS JUST IN CASE. CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I'D TAKEN THE INTERSTATE AND THE PROBLEM REPEATED. AFTER GETTING HOME, FOUND THEY HAD CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE ABOUT THERE BEING NO OIL. CALLED BACK - LONG CONVERSATION: - THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK (SO WHY DID THE OIL LIGHT NOT COME ON?) - THEY HAD CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER AND THE CAR WAS GOOD TO GO (REALLY?) - THEY RECOMMENDED BRINGING THE CAR BACK AFTER 1000 MILES TO CHECK OIL CONSUMPTION (SO IF THE CAR FOR WHATEVER REASON LOSES ITS OIL WILL IT REALLY BE SAFE TO DRIVE? COULD IT NOT HAPPEN THE NEXT MILE, THE 100TH MILE?) - THEY SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF OIL LEAKS (YES, WE WOULD HAVE NOTICED OIL SPOTS ON THE FLOOR OF OUR GARAGE) - THEY SAID THERE MUST BE "INTERNAL CONSUMPTION" OF THE OIL (SO THERE SHOULD BE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST, RIGHT? THERE WAS NOT) ..GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES. WHY DOES THE CAR STOP DEAD WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS TO PROTECT THE CAR. WELL, THANK YOU CHRYSLER FOR CARING SO LITTLE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS THAT YOU PROTECT YOUR CAR FROM DAMAGE AT THE EXPENSE OF PEOPLE.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. AT APPROXIMATELY 15K MILES, I STARTED HEARING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING FROM DRIVER TO REVERSE. I WENT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY THE DEALER FIGURED OUT THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 15K MILES. AT APPROXIMATELY 25K MILES, I WAS HEARING A WHISTLING SOUND ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT END WHEN CRUISING AT APROX. 20MHP OR LESS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER MULT. TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE DEALER REPLACED A REAR AXEL BOOT FOR THE SHAFT THAT WAS THROWING GREASE, THINKING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. I HEARD THE WHISTLING ONCE AGAIN BEFORE EVEN LEAVING THE LOT. THE DEALER FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT END BEARING WAS BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SHAFT AXLE. I HAVE HAD APPROX 4 TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATES DONE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATES THIS WOULD NEED TO BE PURCHASED FOR APPROX $140 EACH TIME AFTER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRES FOR THE JEEP. KEEP IN MIND MY JEEP HAS ONLY 33K MILES ON IT WAS THIS POINT. NOW I HAVE A JEEP THAT HAS A PANORAMIC SUNROOF THAT MAKES NOISE AS WELL WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND POTHOLES AND THE DEALER STATES THEY DO NOT HEAR ANYTHING. I HAVE A TIRE ALIGNMENT DONE ON THE JEEP AT 25K MILES FOR $120. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WITH 32K MILES ON IT TO HAVE THE SUNROOF CHECKED OUT AND THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. SO THE ALIGNMENT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN IN LESS THAN 10K MILES? THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS JEEP SINCE DAY ONE AND EVERY OTHER JEEP I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED AND WENT BLANK ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN MAY OF 2017 BY BETTENHAUSEN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (8255 W 159TH STREET, TINLEY PARK, IL 60477). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER FOR THE RECENT FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,551.

VEHICLE WAS HEADING DOWN A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. ANOTHER CAR PULLED INTO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF JEEP AND HIT HEAD ON. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND THE DRIVER WAS SEVERELY INJURED.

THE REAR HATCH WOULD NOT CLOSE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED HAD HAVE VEHICLE TOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED HE HAD NO PROBLEM CLOSING THE HATCH PICKED UP VEHICLE TWO WEEKS LATER SAME PROBLEM

WHILE DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT WOULD NOT START SO I HAD TO PUSH IT OFF THE ROAD. I'VE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW. SINCE HAVING IT THE PANEL WHICH DISPLAYS THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY GO BLACK. I'VE ALSO HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES IF I'M AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN IT TURNS GREEN THE CAR WILL REV AND NOT MOVE ANYWHERE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 60 TO 40 VERY FAST AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I'VE ALSO BEEN DRIVING BEFORE AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE IT MAKES A NOISE LIKE ITS SHIFTING SUPER LOUD AND THE BRAKE CLICKS. MY VEHICLE IS IN FOR SERVICE RIGHT NOW BUT I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AT ALL. IT ONLY HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. YESTERDAY NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AN ENGINE WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH WITH THE MESSAGE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND MY SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING VEHICLES. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER. ONCE STOPPED THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY AND ACCELERATION WAS RESTORED, BUT MESSAGE OCCURRED AGAIN AND POWER WAS AGAIN LOST.

AFTER I START THE CAR UP IN THE MORNING OR AFTER IT HAS SAT FOR AWHILE, IT WILL RUN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETELY DIE, THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SCREEN SAYS "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR". WHEN IT DOES THIS, I LOSE THROTTLE POWER, BREAKS AND STEERING. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO TURN IT OFF, WHEN I TRY AND TURN IT OFF IT CRANKS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO START AND WON'T. AFTER I GET THE CAR TURNED OFF AND GO TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT CRANKS REALLY HARD FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS BEFORE STARTING. THEN IT SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING, IT WILL DO THIS 4-5 TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS RUNNING OK. AFTER IT DIES, THE TRANSMISSON FEELS LIKE IT IS JUMPING/JERKING AND THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY DING LIKE IT DOES WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID IS LOW BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN OR IN THE MESSAGES. IT HAS DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WITH THE STERRING LOCKING UP AND THE THROTTLE LOSING POWER, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

WHEN DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON, DISABLING ACCELERATION AND PUTTING THE CAR INTO 8TH GEAR. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE CAR SPEED DECREASES INSTANTLY AND REQUIRES THE CAR TO PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF THEN ON. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES. INSTEAD THEY CHOOSE TO PUT CUSTOMERS IN THE DANGEROUS SITUATION OF DISABLING A VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING, THE OIL LEVEL BECAME LOW AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SIEMANS CHRYSLER DODGE RAM JEEP (8691 RED ARROW HWY, BRIDGMAN, MI 49106) AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO ADD OIL TO THE VEHICLE EVERY 1,000 MILES TO KEEP IT FROM RUNNING LOW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. *TT UPDATED 12/13/18*JB

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MULTIPLE TIME TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION, JERKING INTO GEAR ( FROM 1ST TO SECOND GEAR, BUT MOST OF THE TIME FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR) AND A LOUD CLACKING NOISE THAT APPEARS TO COME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. ACCORDING TO 2 DIFFERENT JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT I HAVE TAKEN MY CHEROKEE TO BE DIAGNOSE, THEY CAN'T FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY DID NOT EXPIRIENCE THE JERKING ON THE TRANSMISSION DURING DRIVING. THEY DID INFORMED ME THAT THE CLACKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHEN IT GETS HOT MAKES A CLACKING NOISE, BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT. THE DEALERS CLAIM THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE JEEP INC. TO COME OUT WITH A FIX. AS IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO FORCE YOUR CUSTOMER TO DRIVE A NOISY, HESITATING BRAND NEW CAR. I AM DUMBFOUNDED WITH HOW THE DEALERSHIPS JEEP / CHRYSLER KEEP SWEEPING THIS ISSUE UNDER THE RUG HOPING IT WILL GO AWAY. TIME TO FIND A SOLUTION.

OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP HAS LOST POWER. NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANYTHING, MY JEEP JUST DIES. IT WILL SAY "SHIFT INTO P, THEN SELECT GEAR" AFTER I HAVE LOST POWER. MY LIGHTS/RADIO/BLUETOOTH ALL STILL WORK, BUT I CAN NOT BREAK NOR ACCELERATE NOR STEER. I WAS NEARLY T-BONED THIS AM, AND NEARLY REAR ENDED LAST WEEK.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, AUTOMATIC 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO LOSE ALL ACCELERATION AT AROUND 60MPH. THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" NOTIFICATION APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED DECELERATING UNTIL IT WAS NECESSARY TO PULL OVER AND PARK. PROBLEM SEEMED FIXED AFTER AN ENGINE RESTART, BUT OCCURRED AGAIN AT HIGHER SPEED (60MPH). I DON'T KNOW WHY 2016 VEHICLES WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE S55 RECALL, IT IS THE SAME ISSUE.

EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING THE LAST TIME (4TH TIME) MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE TRANMISSION SEAL HAD A LEAK. WHILE THE MECHANIC WAS TEST DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKES FAILED WITH HIM. WHEN I HAVE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP AND THE BRAKES FAILED I WAS PULLING INTO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL AND NOT STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKE WERE AS HARD AS A ROCK AND JUST SIMPLY WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I FEEL AFTER 4 TIMES THIS CAR IS NOT REPAIRABLE AND I AM NOW MENTALLY ANQUISHED WITH DRIVING IT I AM AFRAID THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AGAIN AND I MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE AND POSSIBLY GET HURT, KILLED, KILL SOMEONE ELSE THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY ISSUE. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN SAID THE CAR IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH THE CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER ON THE CASE. IT IS# 35139860

STALLING WHILE DRIVING, MOSTLY WHEN MAKING A TURN OR AS WHEEL IS TURNED; HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE SEVERE ACCIDENTS TO OCCUR. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, STREET, AND PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. SYSTEM STALLS AND THEN A MESSAGE APPEARS 'SHIFT TO P'. HAVING TO QUICKLY STOP IN INCOMING TRAFFIC, PUT INTO PARK, SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTART TO WORK. WHEN MAKING SMALLER TURNS THE SYSTEM DINGS AS IF A MESSAGE ALERT WILL APPEAR BUT NOTHING SHOWS.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY GETS HOT AS IF THE AC STOPPED BLOWING COOL AIR BUT THEN WORKS NORMALLY. DOES THIS FREQUENTLY BUT RANDOMLY FOR ONLY A COUPLE OF SECONDS AT A TIME.

I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED AND IT WAS NEVER FIXED. LOW POWER, HESITATIONS IN ACCELERATION, RANDOMLY DROPPING SPEED WHILE ACCELERATION, AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. IT HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AT ALL SPEEDS BUT MOSTLY AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH. IT ALL CONTINUES TO THIS DAY AND I HAVE ALL BUT GIVEN UP ON GETTING CHRYSLER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM SOMETIMES EVEN AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN ONE OR MORE OF THESE SYMPTOMS HAPPENS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. AS A CONSUMER I AM ENTITLED TO GET WHAT I PAY FOR!

THE SHIFT MODULE UNIT IS GOING BAD . IT WILL READ IN THE DISPLAY DASH SERVICE SHIFTER AND RED LIGHTS APPEAR FOR ALL GEARS PARK, N, DRIVE, REVERSE, NO AUTO

VECHILE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THE VECHILE WILL STALL DRIVING AT LOW SPEED TURNS, UP HILLS AND COMING TO A STOP. SECOND TIME IT HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR SAME PROBLEM. FIRST TIME WAS JUNE 30 2016. SECOND IS TODAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND "PUT IN PARK AND PLACE IN DESIRED GEAR" WARNING INDICATORS APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. WINNIE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 125 TX-124, WINNIE, TX 77665, (409) 296-3500) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,696.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SIMILAR FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB MOORE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF TULSA (4627 S MEMORIAL DR, TULSA, OK 74145) AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT AT THE DEALER FOR THREE MONTHS. WHILE LEAVING THE DEALER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,652.

I'VE HAD THE JEEP LESS THAN 2 YEARS . ONLY 14000 MILES ON IT . THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND LUNDGING WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTED OR STARTED OFF FROM A STOP. MY DAUGHTER AND I WHERE COMING BACK FROM THE HUMAN SOCIETY. WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH I HAD TO SLOW DOWN FOR ON COMING TRAFFIC.THE JEEP SHIFTED TO A LOWER GEAR AND LUNGED SO FIERCELY I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FALLEN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHCLE IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING SERVICE TRANSMISSION. I HAD NO POWER TO MOVE. IM ON AN OVER PASS WITH TRAFFIC AND THERES NO WHERE TO GO IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. BY CHANCE THE JEEP WAS ABLE TO START AND ACCELERATE TO 5MPH AND GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. IT WAS A VERY SERIOUS HAZARD FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER AND OTHER DRIVERS WE BASICALLY GLIDED TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDST OF TRAFFIC WHILE DOING 50MPH. THAN STARTING IT UP AND ONLY DOING 4 TMPH. THIS WAS CLEARLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DONT FEEL SAFE OR CONFENDENT. I PAID A PREMIUM PRICE FOR A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE DEPENDABLE AND SAFE. NOW THE JEEP WONT START. THE REAR BUTTON TO CLOSE THE HATCH HAS QUIT WORKING. THE START BUTTON WILL NOT START THE CAR AT ALL. WHEN IT STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. IT WOULD HESATATE AS IF THE BATTERY WHERE DEAD. WHEN IT DID START THE SETTINGS 'CLIMATE CONTROL WOULD BE SET TO DEFROST. THE A WOULD SHOW UP ON THE FACE WITHOUT BEING PRESSED. AND EVENTUALLY THE SCREEN WOULD NOT REACT TO TOUCH AT ALL. AND THE RADIO WOULDNT PLAY. BUT ALL ELISE SEEMED TO WORK WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THE WINDOWS WORKED FINE THE LIGHTS WHERE BRIGHT. THERE WASNT A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. I AM APPLAUDED THAT JEEP WOULD THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE IM THE COMSUMER. I PAID FOR A PRODUCT THAT HAS TO AND IS A TO CERTAIN EXPECTATIONS.

THE SHIFT REPORTS SERVICE SHIFTER ALL THE LIGHTS TURN ON, HAS NOT SHIFTED ON US

THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER. WHEN ACTIVE, THE MANUAL SHIFT DOESN'T WORK BUT FORWARD REVERSE AND PARK DO NOT SEEM TO BE AFFECTED. IF YOU STOP SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART, IT CLEARS. IT STARTED DOING THIS 6-9 MONTHS AGO ONCE IN A WHILE BUT NOW DOES IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY DEPENDING ON AMOUNT OF DRIVING. WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CODES OR PHYSICAL PROBLEMS BUT COULD REPLACE THE SHIFTER TO SEE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WE ELECTED NOT TO DO THIS AT THE PRESENT TIME. WE HAVE HEARD OF ACCIDENTS FROM THIS SO WE JUST WANTED TO NOTIFY YOU THAT IT IS HAPPENING. WE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.

ON JULY 18, 2018 I WENT OUTSIDE TO GET AN ITEM OUT OF BACK OF MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS STATIONARY AND I COULDN'T GET LIFTGATE TO LIFT AND I NOTICED THERE WAS SMOKE IN MY CAR, I OPENED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND SMOKE BILLOWED OUT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND MOVED IT BACK AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND NOTICED I HAD NO A/C, RADIO OR ANYTHING WORKING ON DASHBOARD. I LOOKED IN BACK OF VEHICLE AND IT WAS BURNT IN THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF LIFT GATE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO MIKE SMITH AUTO GROUP IN BEAUMONT. THE SMELL IN THE VEHICLE WAS AWFUL, A COMBINATION OF BURNT RUBBER AND PLASTIC. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR BACK LEFT LIFTGATE IN 2015 OF WHICH I TOOK IT IN AND SUPPOSEDLY IT WAS REPAIRED. I ALSO IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP OF WHICH THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL AND VERY UNCONCERNED. I TALKED TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SAID IF IT WAS DUE TO A RECALL I SHOULD CALL CHRYSLER CORPORATION OF WHICH I DID DAILY WITH NO RESULTS. THEY WOULD NOT LET ME TALK TO ANYONE, THEY FINALLY SENT AN INSPECTOR OF WHICH HE JUST LOOKED AT THE INSIDE OF CAR, DID NOT TAKE THE PANELS OFF OR ANYTHING AND SENT TO THE CORPORATION AND THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING IT WAS NOT DUE TO RECALL. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SENT AN ENGINEER WHO TOOK THE PANEL OFF AND SEARCHED IT THOROUGHLY AND DETERMINED IT WAS DUE TO THE RECALL. I CANNOT GET ANY HELP ON THIS WHICH IS NOT MY FAULT. *BF *TR *TT*JB

DEFECTIVE HEADLAMPS CAUSING PREMATURE LOW BEAM BURN OUT. REPLACED THE LEFT HEADLAMP 3/8/2018 AND THE RIGHT 5/9/2018. THE LEFT LOW BEAM HEADLAMP HAS NURNED OUT AGAIN AFTER ONLY 5 MONTHS AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THIS IS HIGHLY IRREGULAR.

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, MY JEEP COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AND WE HAD TO START IT BACK UP AND IT STARTED BACK UP. HOWEVER THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEFORE AND THINK THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS CONSIDERING HOW MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS I AM SEEING ON THIS. I HAVE 2 KIDS IN MY CAR AT ALL TIMES AND FEAR IT DOING THIS WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO JEEP AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT BUT NOW IT JUST FEELS HESITANT WHILE DRIVING. SCARES ME TO DEATH

9 SPEED TRANSMISSION DELAY FROM A DEAD STOP. JERKING AND LUNGING THROUGH DIFFERENT GEARS. HAD FULL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IN JANUARY 2018, AND STILL HAVING ISSUES.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHEN STOPPED. BACK PASSENGER SEATS RATTLE WHEN DRIVING EITHER SMITH OR BUMPY ROADS. SQUEAKING NOISE COMES FROM THE CAR WHEN THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF.

MY JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING A DISTURBING PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR MONTHS. PERIODICALLY, CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WAY ABOVE WHAT IT'S SET AT (E.G. IT'S SET AT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY IT ACCELERATES TO 95 MPH). I HAVE TO SLAM THE BRAKES UNTIL IT DECELERATES AND RESET THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I WAS SETTING UP MY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE APPOINTMENT ON THE LITHIA APP, I NOTICED A RECALL THAT WAS EXACTLY FOR THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. BUT MY JEEP WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL. I CALLED 1-800-853-1403 ON 7/24/18 AND WAS TOLD MY JEEP WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT TO ASK FOR DIAGNOSTICS TEST FOR U63. AT MY APPOINTMENT, 8/10/18, AT LITHIA SANTA FE, THE DIAGNOSTICS DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING. I HAD TO PAY $157 FOR THE TEST! I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER AGAIN AND TOLD THEM I WANT TO GO ON RECORD THAT I REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND TRIED TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED IN CASE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT RELATED TO IT. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THEY 'CLEARED THE MODULE' AND THAT MIGHT TAKE CARE OF IT. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS AND I THINK THIS SHOULD BE REMEDIED UNDER THE RECALL. *BF *TR

I HAD A FLAT TIRE. AFTER MOUNTING THE SPARE TIRE AND TORQUEING THE LUG BOLTS, (YES THEY ARE BOLTS NOT NUTS) I FOUND THAT THE WHEEL WAS STILL LOOSE. I DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE LUG BOLTS BEING TOO LONG FOR THE STEEL SPARE WHEEL WHICH IS NOT THE SAME THICKNESS AS THE ALUMINUM FACTORY WHEELS

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4 (25K MILES) WILL STALL OR LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN PAST FEW MONTHS. NOTICED FIRST WHEN HAD TROUBLE STARTING IN THE MORNING A FEW TIMES (AFTER A RECENT OIL CHANGE). WHILE DRIVING, JEEP LATITUDE 4X4 WILL JUMP INTO GEAR WHILE SLOWING JOLTING THE CAR FORWARD, TEMPORARILY LOSE POWER (RPM DROP, AND MPH DROP), OR COMPLETELY LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING (HAPPENED ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY). COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TURNING, COMING AROUND TURN, INDICATOR WILL DING THEN SUDDENLY STEERING STIFFENS, NO POWER FROM GAS PEDAL, AND CAR SLOWS TO STOP. ONCE STOPPED, MESSAGE SCREEN DISPLAYS 'SHIFT CAR TO P THEN TO DESIRED GEAR' I THEN HAVE TO SHIFT CAR TO PARK AND RESTART (SOMETIMES TAKING 3 OR 4 ATTEMPTS). THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO HIGHWAY (COMING AROUND BEND OF ON RAMP) LUCKILY THERE WAS A LARGE SHOULDER AND LITTLE TRAFFIC TO PULL OVER SAFELY. THIS POSES AN IMMEDIATE RISK OF SAFETY OF NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT PASSENGERS AND OTHER VEHICLES. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, HIGHWAY, OR DANGEROUS ROAD CONDITIONS (LOW VISIBILITY, SLICK SURFACE, ETC) AND ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT NEW JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 3.2 L IN SEP. 2016. WAS VERY HAPPY FOR FIRST FEW MONTHS AND THEN I NOTICED I GOT JERK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP GUY BUT, HE SAID THAT'S NORMAL IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. AFTER COUPLE A MONTHS I GOT SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ON. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY UPDATED SOFTWARE. IT WAS BACK UP AGAIN WITH IN A WEEK SO I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP. I WENT ANOTHER JEEP DEALERSHIP GOT ERROR CODE AND FIX IT. IT WAS WORKING FINE FOR AT LEAST THREE MONTHS AND I GOT BACK SERVICE SHIFTER SIGN BUT, THIS TIME IT WAS WITH SERVICE FORWARD SIGN TOO. THEY FIX IT BUT BECAUSE OF THAT MY BREAK PADS WAS WORN DOWN AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.AFTER A WEEK I GOT SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON. I HAVE TO TOW MY CAR AND DROP AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE ALL PROBLEM BACK UP AGAIN. I GOT THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ON, MY CAR IS GETTING STARTED JERKING AND CREATE A SOUND WHEN I WAS BREAK HARD. SO GUYS I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MY JEEP CHEROKEE.

LESS THAN 60000 & SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SHIFTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED & IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW THE JEEP IS DRIVEN. I AM A TEACHER & ONLY DRIVE IT TO AND FROM WORK. THEY SAID IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. IF IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WHY ISN'T IT COVERED?

ENGINE IS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. USING 1.25-1.5 QUARTS OF OIL PER 1,000 MILES. ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON 2 OCCASIONS. WHEN ENGINE OIL IS LOW IT DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. FIRST ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE AND THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE IS ALSO USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. ADVISED BY DEALERSHIP TO LET NEW MOTOR BREAK IN AND COME BACK AFTER BREAK IN PERIOD OF 7,500 MILES. OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT REQUIRE A LONG BREAK IN PERIOD AS DEALERSHIP STATED.

SHIFTER SERVICE PROBLEM SHIFTER AND WIRING NEED TO BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO DEALER MY CAR ONLY HAS FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND MILES ON IT SEARCH ONLINE REVEALS SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE ARE TALKS OF RECALLS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS POINT

KEEP GETTING SERVICE SHIFTER AND NEED TO STOP VEHICLE AND SHUT OFF AND START UP AGAIN. SOMETIME VEHICLE WILL RUN GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, OTHER TIMES GET 5 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AND IT RETURNS. WENT ON A LONG ROAD TRIP AND HAVE TO PULL OVER A NUMBER OF TIMES ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP THREE (3) TIMES WITH THE SAME ISSUE (LATE DATE 8/2/18), LAST TIME I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $380.00 TO REPLACE A HARNESS FOR SOME KIND OF CABLE AND THEY NEEDED TO ORDER PARTS. STILL WAITING FOR THE CALL FROM THE SHOP WITH A DATE TO REPLACE THE HARNESS.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE OF LOW OIL. JEEP IS 2 1/2 YRS. OLD WITH 50,000 MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL. MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING.

MY CAR WILL SPUTTER AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THE CAR WOULD SPUTTER AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN THE STARTER, THEN JUST SHUT DOWN. I ATTEMPTED AGAIN AND STILL NOTHING. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY BLOW ME OFF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WITH AN ENGINE ACTING LIKE THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE PLEASE!!!

THIS EVENING I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE OR ADEQUATELY TURN. I WAS BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 20 AND 30 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. MY MUSIC CONTINUED TO PLAY, MY DIGITAL SCREEN HOUSING THE SPEED REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND I NOTICED THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON. I DID NOT NOTICE A MESSAGE ON THIS SCREEN BUT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN ONE. I WAS MORE FOCUSED ON GETTING MY VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER MOVING. LUCKILY THERE WAS A PARKING LOT APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET AHEAD. I WAS ABLE TO COAST MY CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT BUT MANAGEABLE. ONCE IN THE PARKING LOT I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I WAITED A MOMENT AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN IT BACK ON. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO BUCK/SHAKE AND MADE A NOISE AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO START BUT NOT ABLE TO. THE DIGITAL MONITOR FLICKERED ON AND FINALLY THE ENGINE TURNED OVER AND THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING. I LEFT IT RUNNING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK TO MY HOME APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES FROM WHERE THIS OCCURRED. THIS WAS TERRIFYING. WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE IF I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY? AFTER THIS INCIDENT AND PRIOR TO FILING THIS COMPLAINT, I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND SEVERAL VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE SHOWING EXACTLY WHAT I EXPERIENCED. I HAVE ALSO READ COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS FORUMS (ONE TITLED JEEP FORUM) DESCRIBING THE SITUATION I EXPERIENCED. I DO NOT FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE OR CAN BE TRUSTED WITH MY LIFE OR OTHERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO GEAR AND LUNGES FORWARD; FEELS LIKE BEING REAR ENDED. REVS HIGH AND THEN DOWNSHIFTS OR MISSES GEAR AND SLAMS INTO GEAR. IN MOTION DRIVING BETWEEN 0 AND 40 MILES PER HOUR OFTEN WHEN CRUISING ALONG AT APPROX. 30-40 WITHOUT WARNING.

AS OF LATELY, THE SPEEDOMETER TOOGLES UP & DOWN THROUGH A SET OF NUMBERS EVEN AFTER ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO REDUCE SPEED ESPECIALLY WHEN ON CRUISE CONTROL. DURING CRUISE CONTROL VEHICLE ACCELERATES BEYOND SET LIMIT & REQUIRES EXTREME FORCE TO DECELERATE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AS DOES MANY DANGEROUS ISSUES MAINLY AFTER A SOFTWARE UPDATE TAKES PLACE WITH THE VEHICLE. IF THE UPDATES DON'T CAUSE ACCELERATION CONCERNS IT CAUSES VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC & OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS A FEW HIGH RISKS FOR MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS WERE ONLY AVOIDED BY THE SWIFT MANEUVERING OF OTHER VEHICLES OR MYSELF WHEN POSSIBLE TO AVOID COLLISION. NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED SO MANY MALFUNCTIONS OF MECHANICAL/TECHNOLOGICAL PROBLEMS FROM A VEHICLE. AS FOR IF THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY, TURNING, BRAKING ETC WHEN THESE ISSUES OCCURED THE ANSWER WOULD BE MY JEEP HAS STALLED, LOSS SPEED, SHUT OFF AND/OR SPEED UP UNDER ALL THESE CONDITIONS. DEALERSHIP HAS ME BRING IT IN AND THEY FLASH THE SYSTEM TO "CORRECT" THE PROBLEM. THAT IS UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE OR SOME SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION CAUSES UNEXPECTED SCARY INCIDENT TO ARISE LIKE NOW WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL THAT NEEDS ADDRESSING.

AFTER HAVING MY BRAND JEEP FOR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS, THE SERVICE PARK BRAKE, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE, AND TRACTION LIGHT WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR THEN PROCEEDED TO JERK WHILE DRIVING SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. UPON RESTART OF THE JEEP, ALL THE LIGHTS WERE GONE AND THE JEEP DROVE FINE. 5 TO 6 MONTHS (AROUND MARCH 2017) LATER THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AND THE WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND HARD TO TURN. SINCE THE LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON BEFORE, I DID THAT BUT THE LIGHTS STAYED ON. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE AN APPT WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEN THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. THE LIGHST STAYED OFF, AS THE APPOINTMENT WAS 2 WEEKS AWAY, SO I CANCELLED IT. AS A SINGLE PARENT I CANNOT AFFORD TO WASTE MONEY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THAT WOULD NOT SHOW AN ERROR BECAUSE THE MALFUNCTION LIGHTS WERE OFF. IN AUGUST OF 2017 THE LIGHTS CAME ONE AGAIN, THE WHEEL BECAME HARD TO STEER. THESE LIGHTS STAYED ON FOR 2-4 DAYS THEN WENT OFF. THIS OCCURENCE HAPPENED AGAIN IN BETWEEN AS WELL MY SONS BDAY WEEKEND FEBRUARY 2018. MY PARENTS WERE DRIVING THE CAR AND THIS MADE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE. SINCE THEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON MORE FREQUENTLY, USING GO OFF WITHIN A DAY OR 2, ONLY TO COME BACK ON AGAIN. IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS THE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON DAILY, CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND CUT BACK ON. THE BRAKES NOW MAKE A VIBRATING SENSATION WHEN DRIVING, AND 3 TIMES WHEN BACKING UP THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED ITSELF. IN THE HISTORY OF OWNERHSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE I HAVE USED MY PARKING BRAKE MAYBE 3 TIMES. I AM FRUSTRATED WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW WITH 7 MILES ON IT TO BEING EXPERIENCING SO MANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE SEPT 2016 (NOT EVEN 2 FULL YEARS ALTHOUGH THIS PROBLEM STARTED EARLY ON) AND ONLY HAVE 25K MILES ON IT.

THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, OUT OF NO WHERE. MY SUNROOF WAS NOT BUSTED MY AN EXTERNAL FORCE. MY SUNROOF HAS VERY THINK GLASS. THE WHOLE IN THE GLASS IN DEAD SET IN THE MIDDLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER BUYERS. IT WAS 88 DEGREES OUT THAT DAY. I HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR IN HOTTER CONDITIONS.

MY JEEP HAS BEEN AND LOOKED AT FOR SHAKING IN THE FRONT END WHEN GETTING TO A CERTAIN SPEED. I HAVE FOUND OUT AFTER GOING TO GET A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BEING TOLD IT MAY BE MY TIRES AND HAVING THEM CHANGED AND THEN TOLD IT MAY BE THE BALANCE OF THE TIRES AND HAVING THAT CHECKED THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE MORE AND TALKING TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS ABOUT THIS THEY SAID IT IS WHAT IS CALLED THE JEEP SHAKES. AND ACCORDING TO LOOKING THIS ISSUE UP THIS IS PRESENT ON MANY JEEP YEARS AND FOR ME AS A CAR OWNER THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE COST OF FIXING THIS ISSUE CAN RANGE FROM $900 TO 1500 DOLLARS DEPENDING ON WHERE IT IS TAKEN. THE JEEP WHEN DRIVING AND REACHING 55 PLUS MPH AND IT STARTS TO SHAKE AND IF ABLE TO GET TO 65 MPH THE SHAKING CEASES.

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASSIONS, WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. ON EACH STALL, EVERYTHING SHUT OFF COMPLETELY INCLUDING ALL LIGHTS DASHBOARD ETC. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD (ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY) OBSTRUCTING TRAFFIC, THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. ONLY AFTER WAITING 3 -5 MINUTES DID THE CAR EVENTUALLY START. TWICE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED.

CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AT ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED STUTTERING AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE CAR PULLED UP A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT SAID, ' VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK TO START THE VEHICLE'. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. CAR IS SCHEDULED TO BE SERVICED.

AUTO ON/OFF WILL STOP WORKING AND NOTIFY ME ON MY SCREEN. IT WILL STATE I NEED TO GET IT SERVICED. ALSO IT WILL POP UP THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER STOPS WORKING, AND NEED TO GET IT SERVICED. BOTH WILL DISAPPEAR AFTER ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON.

MY CAR HAS A "SERVICE SHIFTER " MESSAGE POPPED UP AT 34461 MILEAGE GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY JUST STRAIGHT NO TURNING NO NOTHING. THE SHIFTER LIGHTS ARE ALL LITE UP AS WEEL AND I CANNOT SEE THE MIDDLE SCREEN THAT SHOWS MY MPH IN BIG LETTERS. I CALLED JEEP STATING NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. TURNED CAR OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AND NO MESSAGE SECOND TIME WAS AT 36044 MILES GOING 15 MPH THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND THE SHIFTER IS ALL LITE UP AND "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME BACK ON AGAIN . TURNED CAR OFF AFTER PARKING AND TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW HOURS AND WAS NOT ON.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 2.4L ON A CITY HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT POPPED ON AND I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE PAST 45MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO REACT QUICKLY WITH THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND MAKE MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND IT IS TRIGGERING CODE P0887. I KNOW NOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE 9 GEAR TRANSMISSION IN PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AS WELL THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING MY VEHICLE ANYWHERE THAT HAS A SPEED LIMIT ABOVE 35!

SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS (6-8 TIMES), WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPS REGARDLESS OF IN MOTION OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IT HAS HAPPENED EACH WAY. IT SHUTS OFF, AND THE VEHICLE COMPUTER PROVIDES A MESSAGE THAT YOU MUST BE IN PARK TO START THE VEHICLE. I SHIFT TO PARK AND IT STARTS UP AGAIN. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF THE POWER STEERING GOES AND YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO SYMPTOMS AND NO WARNING BUT I SEE ENOUGH OF THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT I AM REPORTING IT. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED YET, AND I AM AFRAID IT MIGHT BASED ON THE OTHER JEEP OWNERS COMMENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER, SHIFTED INTO PARK, AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT WAITED APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. AS THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 34697040. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON I95 NEAR DC IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR WOULD COME TO A DEAD STOP WITH THE PARKING LIGHT AND TWO BATTERY LIGHTS ON. IT HAD THE MESSAGE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND THEN SHIFT TO DESIRED GEAR. IT DID NOT WORK AND IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SPEED HEAVY TRAFFIC I HAD TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE CAR FOR IT TO GO BACK INTO GEAR. I WENT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THERE WERE NO CODES WHEN THE CAR WAS CHECKED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT HAD TO BE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE. I WAS TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND MY JEEP DID THIS THREE TIMES. WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED . MY DEALERSHIP WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS.

"SERVICE TRANSMISSION" LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY. HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SHUTOFF AND LOST ALL POWER. HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, FOUND OUT THE ENGINE CONSUMED 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL [OVER HALF IT'S VOLUME] IN 6 MONTHS. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OF LOW OIL LEVEL; ENGINE JUST DIED. WAS TOLD THAT THIS OIL CONSUMPTION WAS ACCEPTABLE AND IF I WANTED TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING TO CHECK OIL LEVEL EVERY 1000-1500 MILES TO ASSURE IT'S ADEQUATE. THE COMPUTER APPARENTLY GIVES THE DRIVER NO INDICATION OF LOW OIL VOLUME EVEN AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN FOR THAT EXACT REASON. I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER ONLY BECOMES CONCERNED IF THE ENGINE USE A QUART OF OIL WITHIN 1000 MILES. JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE/2016/4CLY ENGINE WITH 35K MILES.

TAKATA RECALL: I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE OF 2016. TWO MONTHS LATER I WENT INTO THE DEALER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY CAR SHAKING AND THE ACCELERATOR HOW MY CAR FEELS AS IF IT'S SHIFTING GEARS. THEY TAKE MY CAR TO CHECK AND TOLD ME THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK. THEN DURING THE SUMMER ONCE AGAIN IN 2017 THE CAR WAS SHAKING VERY BAD DEALER WAS ON STRIKE SO I HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER JEEP DEALER. THEY 'SOLVED' THE SHAKING AND MENTIONED TO ME I POSSIBLY NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY CONTACT BACK FROM THEM FOR THAT NEW ENGINE. MY CAR AGAIN STILL SHAKES AND FEELS AS IF IT IS SHIFTING ON ITS OWN. IT'S TURNED OFF ON ME QUITE A FEW TIMES AS WELL. ON THE EXPRESS WAY IN THE CITY IN THE STREETS. I JUST TOOK IT BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR A COUPLE WEEKS AGO IN JUNE 2018 AND AGAIN I GET THE I CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. SO I'M STUCK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET MY ISSUE SOLVED. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION WHEN SHAKING AND SHIFTING HAPPENS. VEHICLE IS AT A STOP WHEN CAR TURNS OFF.

I STARTED MY CAR AND SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE POPPED UP AND ALL THE LIGHT ON THE SHIFTER WERE RED, SHUR CAR OFF AND STARTED CAR AGAIN AND WAS FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN SAME MESSAGE POPPED UP. WAS READING TO SEE IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY DO AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON A YEAR OR TWO EARLY OF MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXPERIENCE HARD SHIFTING, REDUCED SPEED, AND WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE FROM A STANDING START. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 4X4 WON'T START. WHEN FINALLY START, IT SHUTS OFF THE AC SYSTEM. 3 TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK ON A BUSY STREET. THE BATTERY IS STILL NEW ACCORDING TO A A TESTER.

MY VEHICLE WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 55 MPH AND DURING A DOWNHILL SLOPE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND RPMS JUMPED TO 6-8,000. I COULD NOT GET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO SHUTOFF AND STOP ACCELERATION. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT LURCH FORWARD AT STOP SIGNS WHEN TAKING OFF. *TT *TR

ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NOW, AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WILL START TO ACCELERATE AND THEN IT'LL NO LONGER RESPOND TO PRESSING DOWN THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV AND NO SPEED IS GAINED AS THE CAR CONTINUES TO COAST. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMEDY IT BY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS APPEAR SIGNALING AN ISSUE. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND HAS OCCURRED WHEN GOING STRAIGHT FROM A STOP, OR WHILE MAKING A TURN AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. CAR CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES. HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO ANY DEALERSHIP, SINCE THERE HAS BEEN NO INDICATION OF FAILURE.

DRIVING ON I-95 AT ABOUT 60MPH AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. LUCKILY WAS NEAR AN EXIT AND PULLED OVER AT THE EXIT. STOPPED ON THE MEDIAN AND TRIED TO GET TO A GAS STATION BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, MADE SOME PHONE CALLS, AND TURNED ON THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WAS GONE BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE CAR NOW MOVED. DROVE TO THE DESTINATION AND THE DEALER SERVICED ON MONDAY WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE. ALL SEEMS OK SO FAR.

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY ROADS IN CHICAGO ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. FIRST TIME I WAS LESS THAN A MILE FROM HOME ON MY WAY TO WORK, CAR STALLED OUT AT A STOP LIGHT AND TOOK 3-4 FAILED ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. CAR WAS MAKING UNUSUAL NOISE WHILE FAILING TO RESTART. SECOND TIME WAS LATER IN THE DAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK DURING RUSH HOUR. ON A 45MPH ROAD CROSSING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE JEEP STALLED OUT. NO CODES, NOTHING. JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS IS A TERRIBLY DESIGNED 'SAFETY FEATURE'. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD I WAS LOW ON OIL. THEY TRIED TO PLAY IT OFF LIKE IT WAS MY FAULT BUT I INSISTED ON A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, CAME BACK AFTER 1000 MILES AND MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 9 WEEKS AFTER THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. JEEP NEEDS TO BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK I'M SICK OF DEALING WITH A BRAND NEW PIECE OF TRASH

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CAR DIED WHILE IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS LEAVING CHURCH AND MADE A LEFT TURN. THE CAR STALLED AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND STARTED IT UP A COUPLE OF TIMES AND WAS ABLE TO GO. THE SECOND TIME (TODAY), I TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT AND IT JUST KILLED. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND MOVED ON. FORTUNATELY, BOTH TIMES, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY ADDRESS THIS. WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN THE NEXT TIME? THIS FIRST HAPPENED THE 4TH SUNDAY IN MAY OF 2018 AND THE SECOND TIME, JUNE 10, 2018.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WITH 33,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH ON A CITY STREET. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING, CAUSING ME TO BECOME STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION. THE DASHBOARD MADE A DINGING NOISE, AND STATED THE MESSAGE "PLEASE RETURN TO PARK, THEN CHOOSE DESIRED GEAR". AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE RELATED TO OIL LEVELS IN THE JEEP CHEROKEE. THE NHTSA SHOULD LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DANGEROUS ENGINE ISSUE THAT AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY BECAUSE A SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE WAS COMING UP, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS WENT SOLD RED, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE BOTH WHILE STOPPED AND DURING DRIVING. GOT A CALL THIS MORNING (6/8/18) SAYING THE MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND SINCE ITS ELECTRICAL ITS NOT COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAD MENTIONED THIS ERROR MESSAGE TO A SERVICE TECHNICIAN DURING A PREVIOUS VISIT, WHO TOLD ME TO "NOT WORRY ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW".

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SQUEAKS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE SEAT TENDS TO MOVE A LITTLE FORWARD AND THEN BACKWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I NOTICED THIS AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME, I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE STATES SOMETHING IS LOOSE BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT.

I BROUGHT THE JEEP NEW IN 2016 AND NOW IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. THIS IS SCARY. WHILE DRIVING, I GET WARNING TONES EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE WITH NO MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES SO FAR AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW ALWAYS THINKING IT WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I CONTACTED JEEP TODAY (6/3/18) AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE ISSUE. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I NEED THIS SITUATION TO BE DOCUMENTED IN THE EVENT SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I FEEL A LOT OF ANXIETY ALWAYS FEELING THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC AND GET REAR ENDED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS SITUATION.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM SINCE PURCHASE. HAVE CHANGED TO DIFFERENT BULBS WITHOUT ANY EFFECT. THE BULBS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE HALOGEN HEADLAMPS. THE FOG LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS BRIGHTER THAN THE REGULAR BULBS. DEALER UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESFUL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART LATER AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, AT A STOP LIGHT, OR AT A STOP SIGN, IT WOULD STALL AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THOMPSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (126 FORNI RD, PLACERVILLE, CA 95667, (530) 621-0100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE CODE COULD BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,500.

BOUGHT CAR AUGUST 2016, FIRST NOTICED SEVERE JOLT/KICK AUGUST 2017. IT APPEARED RANDOMLY. SO SEVERE THAT THE FIRST 10 OR SO TIMES I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS REAR ENDED. WHEN TRAVELING AROUND 40-45 MPH CAR JOLTS/KICKS/JUMPS/DROPS (PICK YOUR TERM) WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, MOSTLY WHEN TRAFFIC IS CREEPING ALONG.AND NOTICED THAT THE CAR IDLED VERY ROUGHLY OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY JUST BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALL THREE TIMES. DEALERSHIP RESETS COMPUTER THEN SAYS THEY CAN'T REPLICATE ISSUE, I'VE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES NOW FOR THESE ISSUES WITH NO REAL RESOLUTION. THEY ARE REPLACING VALVE BODY THIS TIME, MY CAR IS UNDER TWO YEARS OLD AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANYWHERE.

THE AUTOMATIC STOP SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR TURNS OFF WHEN I STOP AND I LOSE ALL POWER. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I STOP. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE I LOSE ALL POWER. THE A! LIGHT POPS UP WHEN THE CARS RESTARTS AND THEN IT DISAPPEARS WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AND BACK OFF. OTHER SENSORS POP UP FOR THE TRANSMISSION POWER STEERING AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE SENSOR SYSTEM OR THE AUTOMATIC START SYSTEM NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT IT'S SCARY

TWO ISSUES (MAY BE RELATED) FIRST SAFETY ISSUE IS WHEN DRIVING IN HIGHER GEARS AND GAS IS NOT MAINTAINED THE TRANSMISSION CUTS OFF AND IT CAN ONLY IDLE WITH RPMS ABLE TO GO AS HIGH AS 2000 RPMS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO GAIN SPEED. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE SPEED WITHOUT ADJUSTING WHEN GOING DOWN A GRADE TO SPEEDS WELL OVER CRUISING SPEED. BOTH ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF! IT HAD 14500 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE SYSTEM HAD JUST STARTED TELLING ME THE OIL WAS DUE TO BE CHANGED, IT WAS GOING TO BE THE 4TH OIL CHANGE. AFTER 15 MINUTES THE CAR JUST RESTARTED LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. AFTER A LITTLE GOOGLE SEARCHING I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL AND THE DIPSTICK HAD JUST A SLIGHT TRACE OF OIL..I CALLED THE DEALER QUESTIONED THEM AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE SINCE THEY JUST SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I NOW CHECK MY OIL EVERY 2000 MILES SO IT DOESN'T RUN LOW CAUSING AN ENGINE PROBLEM THAT WILL BE MY FAULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS A QUART LOW. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 4,000 MILES AT THE TIME. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FAILURE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (LARCHMONT CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 2533 BOSTON POST RD, LARCHMONT, NY 10538, (914) 636-3030) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,344.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE THAT WAS HITCHED TO A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE AT 60 MPH WITH THE JEEP IN TOW, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE JEEP WAS SWAYING VIGOROUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN JEEP DEALER (THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING ON VACATION), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE WHILE TOWING THE JEEP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK UP AS DESIGNED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD NOT RESEARCH THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,083.

MY TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO SLIP, MOSTLY WHEN I'M DRIVING AT A SLOWER SPEED; IS THAT NORMAL FOR A CAR I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD FOR 2 YEARS? I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS A RECALL ON SOMETHING THAT COULD BE MAKING IT DO THIS? I'M WORRIED; I'LL NEED TO GET IT LOOKED AT FOR SURE.

THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON MY WIFE AND CHILD WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY, AND WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS LOW ON OIL AND THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND CLEARED THE VEHICLE AND SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE TO DO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL ISSUE A REPLACEMENT MOTOR, AFTER 2 MONTHS OF THE TEST THEY CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS OK AND SAFE TO DRIVE. THE ISSUE HAPPEND AGAIN WITH MY WIFE AND CHILD IN THE CAR AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, SHE MADE IT BACK HOME AND THE MOTOR WAS OUT OF OIL 3,000 MILES BEFORE HER NEXT OIL CHANGE. I GOT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO DO THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PROCESS AGAIN.

SEVERAL TIMES NOW IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS WHEN I START TO ACCELERATE, THE JEEP "JUMPS". ALMOST LIKE ITS SLIPPING OR TRYING TO JUMP GEARS. IT'S VERY SCARY, AND I'M AFRAID OF IT JUMPING WHEN I LEAST EXPECT IT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH I DO NOT NEED IN MY CONDITION. AND I JUST RECENTLY REALIZED THAT THE START/STOP FUNCTION HAS NOT BEEN WORKING, WHICH I BELIEVE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT,I ASKED MY DEALER TO CHECK IT AND THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. THEN SOMEONE OVER HEARD ME TALKING AND SAID THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I GOOGLED IT AND THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME THING ALL OVER THE I INTERNET! WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE THIS SERIOUSLY CHECKED OUT FOR A RECALL? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE DOES IT TAKE FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE? I AM DISABLED AND CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT'S ONLY 2 YRS OLD! AND NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A DEFECT WHICH IT APPEARS TO BE. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWED DOWN. ALSO, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AFTER IT ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUN LAND PARK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (950 CROCKETT ST, EL PASO, TX 79922) ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO BE REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

THE CAR WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO LOW/DIRTY OIL LEVEL, THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS FINE FOR A WHILE. THIS MORNING THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I HAVE ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON THE CAR SINCE LAST MAINTENANCE, BUT WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL CHANGE INDICATOR, IT SHOWED THAT I STILL HAVE ABOUT 36%.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ONCE IN TWO WEEKS. MY LOCAL DEALER IN SAN DIEGO (RANCHO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE) SAID THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE GAS VALVE. THEY SAID IT WAS LEAKING. EACH TIME THIS IS THE ISSUE. THIS IS MY 4TH TIME GOING TO THE DEALER. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT ITS VERY RISKY FOR PASSENGERS TO DRIVE SUCH CARS WITH LEAKS. I REQUEST NHTSA TEAM TO PLEASE REVIEW ALL JEEP CHEROKEE MODELS AS THEY NEED RE-CALLS AND ITS UNSAFE FOR PUBLIC TO DRIVE SUCH LEAKY VEHICLES. I WAS VERY AFRAID WHEN I WAS TURNING ON HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STARTED NOISE AS IF SOMETHING IS BURSTING, IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING MOMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE "SWITCH TO NEUTRAL" WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. NEW HOLLAND JEEP IN NEW HOLLAND, PA WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS TWICE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH. LOSE ALL POWER. FIRST TIME , 21,218 MILES, DEALER SAID PROBABLY LOW ON OIL, BUT OIL CHANGE WAS NOT OVERDUE AND NO INDICATOR LIGHTS EVER SHOWED. THEY DID OIL CHANGE AND THEN CHECKED CAR AT NEXT OIL CHANGE, THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. AT 30,930 MILES, CAR STALLED AGAIN DRIVING 30 MPH OUT OF NOWHERE. BARELY ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER AGAIN SAID OIL ISSUE AND WE ARE ADVISED TO RETURN TO DEALER IN 1000 MILES TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO GET RESOLVED. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ISSUE, BUT A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE.

I CAME OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND STARTED DOWN THE ROAD (35MPH) AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT ANY INDICATION MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SHATTERED ALL OVER THE CAR. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THIS ROAD, THE ROAD WAS PAVED WITH NO POTHOLES. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 55-65 AND THE INSIDE OF THE JEEP WAS AT A CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE.

I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR THREE WEEKS. I PARKED MY CHEROKEE OUTSIDE MY OFFICE AT WORK, SHUT IT OFF AS NORMAL, AND CAME BACK OUT A FEW HOURS LATER TO RUN SOME ERRANDS. I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT STATED 'NO FOB DETECTED'. I TRIED THE AUTO START, WHICH WORKED, THE LOCK AND UNLOCK FROM THE KEY FOB WORKED, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE THE ONLY MESSAGE RECEIVED WAS 'NO FOB DETECTED'. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY TRIED TO WALK ME THROUGH A RESET, WHICH DID NOT WORK. AAA CAME OUT TO TRY TO ASSIST. THEY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY, TRIED JUMPING THE VEHICLE, AND PERFORMED THE RESET AS WELL. NONE OF THIS WORKED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AM STILL WAITING ON DIAGNOSTICS TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO FIX.

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE CUT OUT. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THERE WASN'T ANY MESSAGE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. IT WAS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE WITHOUT BEING HIT. ON CHECKING THE INTERNET IT SHOWED OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS RELATED TO OIL. . CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS LOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE 2.4 CUTS OFF EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING WHEN OIL IS LOW. NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THIS. HAD I BEEN ON A BUSIER MULTI LANE ROAD I MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO CHECK MY OIL BETWEEN SERVICE ON A NEWER CAR BEFORE THIS IS AN UNSAFE DEFAULT TO LOW OIL. IT PUTS THE DRIVER AND PUBLIC IN DANGER. HAD I BEEN TOLD THE VEHICLE MAY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR. I CANT BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE THIS AS A FEATURE WITH NO WARNING.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS LESS THAN 30000 MILES ON IT. IT SHIFTS EXTREMELY ROUGH FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. THE ENGINE HAS A LOUD TICKING AT IDLE.

ON 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I'VE HAD AN ANNUNCIATION ON THE DRIVER INSTRUMENT DISPLAY OF 'SERVICE SHIFTER' WITH ASSOCIATED RED ILLUMINATION OF ALL SHIFT POSITIONS OF P,R,N,D ACCOMPANIED BY A SINGLE CHIME. THE DRIVER INSTRUMENT DISPLAY REMAINS FROZEN ON 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND ANY ATTEMPT TO CHANGE PAGES TO CHECK FOR STORED MESSAGES IS NOT ACKNOWLEGED UNTIL THE CAR IS SHUTDOWN, THEN RESTARTED. NO FAULTS APPEAR WHEN STORED MESSAGES ARE REVIEWED. ONCE RESTARTED THE MESSAGE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' IS CLEARED. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO COMMONALITY BETWEEN EACH REOCCURING EPISODE. ONCE IT CAME ON AFTER START, THE REST WHILE I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 30MPH AND 50MPH AFTER SOMETIME IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON URBAN STREETS AND SECONDARY HIGHWAYS. MILEAGE IT FIRST CAME ON WAS 16014 THEN 18875, 20949, 21225, 21422 AND FINALLY 24216(JUST AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE). JEEP SERVICE PROVIDED LITTLE INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM AND RELEASED THE CAR TO ME. MY ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWED SEVERAL JEEPS, DIFFERENT MODELS, ON THE JEEP FORUM WITH THE SAME MALADY AS FAR BACK AS 2014. AS OF THIS DATE MY JEEPS' SOFTWARE IS UP-TO-DATE WITH NO RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE DEALER (HERITAGE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OWINGS MILLS, 11212 REISTERSTOWN RD, OWINGS MILLS, MD 21117) WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

MY JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT 2016 GOT STUCK IN A GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES ON MY WAY HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP AND WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THE JEEP APPARENTLY NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND I BELIEVE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30K MILES ON IT.

THREE TIMES RECENTLY I WAS PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE HAD DIED BUT IT WAS STILL ON/RUNNING. THEN ON A SEPARATE INCIDENT I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH WHEN THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON AND THE SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO 20 MPH AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE SPEED.

I WAS DRIVING TO TOWN AND THE LOW OIL PRESSER LIGHT CAME ON I GET OFF THE ROAD THEN MY CAR DIED I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART IT. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY? I PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN IT AND THEM IT STATED RIGHT UP. I TOOK IT TO THE CAR LOT THE NEXT DAY AND THERE WAS ONLY 1 QUART OF OIL IN IT. AT THIS TIME I HAD ONLY DROVE IT 23 MILES SINCE I HAD PUT THE OIL IN THERE, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT ANY LEAKS AND THAT THEY WOULD FILL IT UP AND FOR ME TO COME BACK IN A WEEK. I REALLY HOPE THAT I CAN MAKE IT A WEEK WITH THE OIL THEY PUT IN THERE I HAVE SET THE MILLAGE THING IN THE CAR TO 0 AND I WILL SEE HOW MANY MILES I DRIVE AND IF IT IS OUT OF OIL WHEN I GO BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CENTURY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, 13500 VETERANS MEMORIAL PKWY, WENTZVILLE, MO 63385), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTING HAD BEEN SWITCHING BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT MODE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THEN WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AND GAVE A MESSAGE "YOU MUST BE IN PARK BEFORE SHIFTING GEARS". THE ENGINE THEN STOPPED. THIS OCCURRED IN A ROTARY, LUCKILY ON A QUIET STREET. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND IT APPEARED FINE.

TRANSMISSION STALLING WHILE STARTING 0-20 MPH. HARD SHIFTS AND SERVICE LIGHT FLASHING. AFTER SEVERAL INSTANCES, VEHICLE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. I STOPPED, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED IN REVERSE.

WHEN GOING DOWN INCLINE THE ENGINE AND RPMS GAUGE SURGE UP AND DOWN.

TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL & THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT ON AN EXTREMELY BUSY HIGHWAY & MAKING A RIGHT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. MY CAR FROZE IN THE LANE & 3 CARS NEARLY HIT ME AT HIGH SPEEDS SWERVING AROUND ME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AS IT IS UNDER WARRANTY & AFTER A FEW HOURS, THEY CALLED & SAID IT WAS READY & IT WAS JUST A "SOFTWARE UPDATE". WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONLY THIS TIME WHILE MAKING A LEFT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS IN THE MEDIAN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR & WHEN IT DID, I WENT - AGAIN IT WAS LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL & THIS TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI-TRUCK WHO NEARLY JACK-KNIFED TRYING NOT TO HIT ME. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I WENT EXPRESSING MY TERROR & THE FACT THERE IS NO WAY I FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR UNTIL IT'S FIXED. I'M SUPPOSE TO PUT MY 15 YEAR-OLD SON BEHIND THE WHEEL OF IT WHEN HE GETS HIS PERMIT IN A FEW WEEKS?? TODAY IS THURSDAY & MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE 7:30AM LAST FRIDAY. I HAVE TO PICK IT UP TOMORROW AFTER WORK. THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THEY "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" & RECOMMENDED I "DRIVE WITH THEIR TECHNICIAN TO SEE IF IT CAN BE DUPLICATED WITH HIM IN THE CAR..." SERIOUSLY!? CONSIDERING THIS IS A RANDOM/INTERMITTENT ISSUE, & DOES NOT COME WITH WARNING, THE DUPLICATION EFFORT IS NOT LIKELY. I RELAYED THE RESEARCH I HAD DONE SINCE ONLINE & RECOMMENDED LOOKING AT THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT HAVE CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME CAR. EXPLAINING THEY DESCRIBE THE SAME PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING. I WAS TOLD THEY "CANNOT USE INFORMATION FOUND ON GOOGLE" & "THEY'VE CHECKED ALL SOFTWARE UPDATES, RECALLS, & TSR'S..." BUT "THEY'RE ALL BASED ON THE DATE IT WAS BUILT & NOTHING'S COME UP". I AM LITERALLY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE. I KNOW THERE'S A LEMON LAW HERE, BUT I'M AFRAID THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS I MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY. HELP!!??

SHORTLY AFTER FUELING MY VEHICLE MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS FIRST PURCHASED AND CONTINUES WITH 30,000 MILES. IT OCCURS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME AFTER FUELING. THE MOST RECENT OCCOURANCES CAUSED ME TO STALL ON A MAJOR ROADWAY. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY A TRAILER. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GAIN POWER AGAIN I MUST SHIFT TURN THE CAR OFF SHIFT TO PARK AND THEN RESTART THE CAR..

MY CAR WON'T START INTERMITTENTLY AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT STARTED AFTER 15 MINUTES OF BEING IN THE FAST LANE WITH MY FLASHERS ON WHICH WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT EASILY. THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURING AMONG A LOT OF CUSTOMERS OF JEEP. THEY NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED ON RAMPS, A PARKING GARAGE, ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON UNTIL AFTER THE ENGINE STOPS. THE STEERING FAILS, THE BRAKES FAIL AND THE VEHICLE ROLLS TO A STOP. OFTEN, IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES AND ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE OIL WAS LOW. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF AND WITH NO CORRELATION TO TIME FRAME AFTER HAVING THE OIL REPLACED, TIME IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN, OR DURATION OF THE TRIP. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO THE PERSON OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. JEEP AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE IGNORED THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE EVEN BEEN TOLD BY JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT "THE ENGINE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED" WHICH MEANS THAT IT WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING TO PROTECT THE ENGINE, NOT THOSE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO FIX OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE, REFUSED TO VOID THE LEASE AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE.

WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALL LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKE PEDAL STUCK DOWN. I PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURNED KEY. TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE AND NOTHING STARTED... LIGHT JUST CAME ON THE DASH WITH EVERY ITEM FLICKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STILL STUCK DOWN. IF I OUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, UNABLE TO PUSH VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO REMOVE PARKING BREAK. KEEP IN MIND I'M AT A VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC INTERSECTION. TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES UNTIL THE CAR TOLD ME TO PRESS BREAK TO RELEASE PARKING BREAK . I TURNED THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. NOW I AM AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP. MY CAR HAS 19300 MILES.... NOTHING TO THIS EXTENT SHOULD BE GOING WRONG.

WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN WHEN THE SWITCH WAS PUSHED. LATER WHILE DRIVING WINDOW STARTED SLIDING DOWN BY ITSELF. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THE RETURN WAS BROKEN AND 2" OF THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW WAS BROKE OFF. NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE TO THE DOOR. BREAKAGE SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH EARLIER JEEP MODELS. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER REPAIR AND CHANGED OVER $900 TO REPAIR.

SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DRIVING ON I270 IN MARYLAND AND COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER AT 60MPH AND HAD TO CAREFULLY COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELARATE ANYMORE. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW BACK IN VIRGINIA AFTER GETTING TOWED FROM I270. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 27000 MILES.

I PURCHASED MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE IN MARCH OF 2016, AND TOOK DELIVERY IN JUNE OF 2016. AFTER HAVING MUNTI0LE MAINTENANCE ISSUES WITH IT, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY JEEP HAD 2 DIFFERENT TIRE SIZES ON IT. TWO TIRES HAD A CIRCUMFERENCE OF 60R AND THE OTHER TWO HAD A CIRCUMFERENCE OF 65R. FIAT-CHRYSLWR HAS REFUSED TO MAKE AMENDS TO THIS POINT. I DID NO FIND OUT UNTIL AFTER DRIVING 11,000 MILES.

2/12/18 ,2016 JEEP CHEROKEE, 26,300 MILES. DRIVING ON I-5 IN WASHINGTON TO SEATTLE TP PICK UP MY PREGNANT WIFE FROM THE AIRPORT ABOUT 45 MILES FROM HOME SPEED WAS 72 MPH. SERVICE TRANSMISSION DISPLAYED ON DASH WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WOULD REV BUT SLOWLY ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR WOULD REV BUT BARLEY MOVE FORWARD. PULLED INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND INSPECTED THE ENGINE AND UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE FOR ANY FLUIDS. ONCE I STARTED THE CAR IT WOULD CREEP FORWARD SLOWLY UNTIL IT REACHED 45MPH. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION CLEARED FROM THE DISPLAY BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY BUT SHIFTED ROUGH. TURNED AROUND TO HEAD HOME THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION DISPLAYED AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER AGAIN TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AND RESUMED NORMAL DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON BUT LIMPED 45 MILES HOME. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THE VEHICLE.

HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE, VERY BAD LIGHTING FOR NIGHT DRIVING, NOT INCIDENTS BUT RELUCTANT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT

SEAT CAPACITY LABEL OFF BY 1

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A DINGING NOISE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE CAME UP LOST ALL POWER WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE TRAFFIC BEHIND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS MY CAR ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT

TODAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2018 I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AND MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AND IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING IT. I WAS ON A BUSY STREET IN MY TOWN AND ALMOST GOT T-BONED BY ANOTHER CAR. I AM 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I FEARFUL TO STEP BACK INTO MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM? MY 2016 CHEROKEE DIES WHILE I'M DRIVING (CITY & HIGHWAY ["DINGED" BUT DIDN'T DIE-I WON'T DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY]). IT IS FRIGHTENING AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO WHEN OR WHY THIS HAPPENS. IT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT IDENTIFY NOR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTER DOESN'T REGISTER ANY CODES AND DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT THE VEHICLE HAS DIED. NOTHING SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD EITHER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THERE IS A "DING" AND THE CAR DIES. I HAVE BEEN READING (ONLINE) MANY OTHER IDENTICAL ACCOUNTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHERS WHO WON THE 2015 & 2016 CHEROKEE MODELS. MY CAR IS, YET AGAIN, AT THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE HELP ME? THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. AND, OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING EXACTLY THE SAME THING. THANK YOU!

ENGINE THERMOSTAT WENT BAD AROUND 60,000 MILES. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT WARM UP TO TEMPERATURE ON COLD DAYS AND WOULD NOT STAY COOL ENOUGH ON WARM DAYS. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE DIDN'T SOUND LIKE IT SHOULD WHEN RUNNING. THE THERMOSTAT HAD TO BE REPLACED, COSTING ALMOST $500 FOR A FIX THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE COST THAT MUCH.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT A COUPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUES AND NO LUCK GETTING IT FIXED. WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND REGULAR ROADS I WILL GET A WARNING CHIME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SERVICE PARKING BRAKE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE- OVERHEATED LIGHTS COME ON. I THEN LOSE POWER STEERING, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY STIFF AND THE BRAKES STOP WORKING. IT IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER TIME, TO NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR VEHICLE. I AM PREGNANT AND HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD CHILD AND DO NOT WANT THIS JEEP ANYMORE UNLESS FIXED. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT PEOPLE WITH THE SAME JEEP EVEN DIFFERENT YEARS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I HAVE MANY OF THE SAME IMAGES JUST ALL DIFFERENT DAYS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I WILL ATTACH AND IMAGE BELOW. AS STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOT JUST ONE DAY. THANK YOU.

JEEP WOBBLE. I WAS TOWING MY VEHICLE BEHIND MY MOTOR HOME. I HAD TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES WITHOUT PROBLEMS. NEAR THE END OF MY TRIP I MADE A RIGHT TURN. JUST AFTER MAKING THE TURN I FELT A VIOLENT SHAKING. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED ESTIMATED TO BE 20 TO 25 MILE PER HOUR. I LOOKED INTO THE REAR CAMERA AND WAS ABLE TO SEE THE VEHICLE OSCILLATING FROM SIDE TO SIDE.I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED TO A STOP TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. SINCE I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC I CONTINUED ON TO A SAFE PLACE. AFTER PROCEEDING ABOUT A MILE TO MY DESTINATION, I HAD NO FURTHER ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP CONCERNING THE ISSUE. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS ON ME TO BUY A WIRING KIT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 31, 2017, I TOLD THE DEALER THAT I WAS IN THE MARKET FOR A VEHICLE FOR TOWING. THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE WITH THE EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR TOWING IN STOCK BUT STATED THEY COULD GET ONE FROM LOUISVILLE KY. I AGREED TO HAVE GET IT. IN SHORT I PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS READY FOR TOWING. AT NOW TIME DURING THE SALES PROCESS OR AFTER WAS I EVER NOTIFIED A A WIRING PACKAGE REQUIREMENT. I JUST LEARNED OF IT IN RECENT DAYS WHEN I HAD IT IN THE SHOP. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE FIX AND NOT ME AS THE CONSUMER BASED ON THEIR REPRESENTATION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS READY FOR TOWING.

FIRST TIME TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE AT A RED LIGHT, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEHOW MY FAULT. ON/OFF ALLOWED ME TO PROCEED. THEN, A FEW WEEKS LATER, TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE AFTER FULL STOP AT REDLIGHT ON A MULTI LANE ROAD WITH A CENTER MEDIAN. WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART IN 4WD TO LIMP OFF ROAD, BEFORE TRANSMISSION SHUT DOWN AGAIN. ON/OFF RESTORED FUNCTION AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE DIRECTLY TO DEALER. CAR ?REPAIRED? BUT HOURS AFTER RETURN FROM DEALER SIMILAR PROBLEM ATTEMPTING TO ENTER A LIMITED ACCESS HI-WAY: TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. PROBLEM OF DRIVE TRAIN ENGAGING HAS ALSO OCCURRED FROM A COLD START, AND IT TOOK SEVERAL ON/OFF CYCLES TO ENGAGE TRANSMISSION AND GET CAR BACK TO DEALER. DEALER HAS FOCUSED ON ADAPTIVE SENSORS AND WIRING HARNESS (BECAUSE OF A LOW VOLTAGE READING), WHICH MAKE NO SENSE TO ME. CONFUSION CREATED BECAUSE WITH EACH TRANSMISSION FAILURE EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WENT OFF. READING THESE NHTSA BULLETINS, I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR POSTINGS ABOUT THE POWER TRAIN NOT ENGAGING, SO I KNOW MY PROBLEM IS NOT ISOLATED. I MENTIONED TO DEALER A 2016 GRAND CHEROKEE RECALL FOR BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT SOLENOID, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE CAUSED A SIMILAR TRANSMISSION DISENGAGEMENT MY SUGGESTION WAS DISMISSED. CAR ONLY 1 YEAR OLD AND I HAVE BARELY HAD USE IN LAST 45 DAYS. WE ARE NOT CRAZY, AND WE HAVE A GOOD BASIS OF COMPARISON THAT SOMETHING IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG AND STILL UNDIAGNOSED. WE OWN AN IDENTICAL SECOND JEEP, PURCHASED WITHIN ONE MONTH OF THIS ONE. SECOND CHEROKEE IS FINE...SO FAR.. HOWEVER, ON OUR RECOMMENDATION MY SISTER IN LAW ON OTHER SIDE OF COUNTRY PURCHASED SAME CAR WITHIN A MONTH OF OUR SECOND. SAME CAR AND SAME MILEAGE/YEAR AND SHE IS EXPERIENCING AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROBLEM. SUSPECT OUR PROBLEMS ARE RELATED. *BF.. *TR

SINCE MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, 11048717 I WAS DENIED A BUY BACK BY FCA, LLC VIA FIRST CLASS MAIL STATING I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER GA LEMON LAW REGARDLESS OF IT BEING OUT OF SERVICE MORE THAN 30 DAYS. SINCE THIS LETTER THE VEHICLE HAS DIED 3 TIMES WHILE IN MOTION AND CONTINUES TO SKIP ALONG WITH A DECREASE IN RPMS WHILE IDLING (OBSERVED MY DEALERSHIP SERVICE). I ALSO HAD SMOKE AND A STRONG ODOR COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH NO REASON AS TO WHY. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A TOTAL RECALL SINCE IT IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR SO MANY PEOPLE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TO DIM TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL POST OF TTHE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. DIM HEADLIGHTS NOT ABLE TO SEE ON COMING LANES.

THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN RE-ACCELERATING. (USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS) SOMETIMES THE RPM'S WILL INCREASE BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. (THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN YOU NEED TO GET UP TO SPEED SAFELY.) THERE IS ALSO A MINOR CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON. (MOSTLY JUST ANNOYING)

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND I HEARD AN AUDIBLE ALERT WHILE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" LIT ON THE DISPLAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED INTO THE RIGHT LANE TO GET OFF THE NEXT EXIT, AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING LIGHTLY. AS I WAS ON THE EXIT RAMP, MY GAS PEDAL WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. SEEMS LIKE IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. I GLIDED TO A STOP AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE SOME PHONE CALLS. THERE WAS A TECH SERVICE BULLETIN "TO REPROGRAM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WITH UPDATED SOFTWARE". I FEEL THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A TECH SERVICE BULLETIN. THE DEALER WAS EXCELLENT IN HANDLING THIS SITUATION, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS PROBLEM TURN INTO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE TROUBLE CODE THEY FOUND IS "P088700 TRANSMISSION CONTROL CIRCUIT". THANK YOU.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON. NOTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED, SOMETIMES WHEN ENGINE IS TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON THE LIGHT DISAPPEARS. OTHER TIMES, IT REMAINS ON. THE DRIVE ABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE IS UNAFFECTED, HOW EVER SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS. THIS FIRST OCCURRED WHEN BACKING FROM MY DRIVEWAY, I SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE DINGED, AND THE LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH. NOW IT WILL RANDOMLY DO IT, DOESN'T MATTER WHEN OR WHERE, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, OR SIMPLY TURNING ON THE VEHICLE.

MY CAR IS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AND ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. I KEEP UP WITH MY MAINTENANCE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY HEAT ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MOBILE, AL THIS MORNING AND THEY ARE SAYING MY WARRANTY FOR THIS IS UP. IT'S $400 PLUS DOLLARS TO FIX AND I SEARCHED ONLINE AND OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON IN MY CAR AND THE CAR IS SHIFTING GEARS WITHOUT MOVING THE SHIFTER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. THE CAR IS BECOMING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I NEED HELP BECAUSE I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK AND CANNOT AFFORD TO JUST PARK IT AND MAKE PAYMENTS ON IT.

DRIVING ON HWY 11/25/17 AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION MSG CAME ON. TRANSMISSION DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND CAUSED CAR TO BE STUCK IN ONE GEAR. WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND MADE IT TO DESTINATION. WHEN CAR WAS AT A STOP IT WAS HARD TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK IN A HIGHER GEAR. WE TURNED IT OFF AND PUT IT IN PARK, WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED IT SEEMED TO RESET BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. RECURRED AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME AS WELL AS ON 11/26/17. BROUGHT CAR INTO CHRYSLER DEALER ON 11/28/17. RODE WITH TECHNICIAN AND PROBLEM WAS DUPLICATED. ONCE CAR HITS 8TH GEAR ALL WARNINGS RETURN. DIAGNOSTIC TEST GAVE CODE FOR TCM POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH,VEHICLE WAS FLASH REPROGRAMMED AND I WAS ADVISED THAT IT SHOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS WAS MOST RECENT SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH CAME ON 4/4/17. AFTER A TEST DRIVE ISSUE CURRENTLY SEEMS RESOLVED. REPORTING IT BECAUSE IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT AND WANT IT KNOWN THAT NEWER MODELS ARE STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2016 AND IT WAS SEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN OCTOBER 2016 FOR A LOUD CLICK FROM THE BRAKE (TOLD THIS IS NORMAL) AND THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF DURING IDLE TWICE. AN UPDATE WAS DONE BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUED. NOVEMBER 2016 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE THE BACK SEAT WOULD MOVE BACK AND FORTH IF SOMEONE WAS NOT SITTING IN IT (THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE BACK SEAT) BUT AS I WAS DRIVING INTO THE SERVICE DOORS THE VEHICLE SKIPPED AND TRIED TO DIE WITH LIGHTS FLASHING ON THE DASH. SERVICE COULD NOT DUPLICATE. DECEMBER 2016 BROUGHT IN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE KEPT SKIPPING WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOP. ON TWO OCCASIONS IT COMPLETELY STALLED BUT SERVICE WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH SHIFTING TOO EARLY AT TIMES AND THEN SHIFTING WAS DELAYED OTHER TIMES. ONCE AGAIN ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. LATER IN DECEMBER I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS POSSIBLY A FIX. JANUARY 2017 THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK AGAIN DUE TO STALLING AND THE MULTI AIR ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED. THE ISSUE CONTINUED AS THE SERVICE MANAGER SEARCHED FOR AN ANSWER UNTIL I HAD ENOUGH IN OCTOBER 2017 WHEN IT CAME TO A STOP FOR NO REASON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A TERRIBLE NOISE IN REVERSE AT TIMES. SERVICE ALONG WITH FCA ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK IT IT ALWAYS SKIPS IN IDLE, MAKES A LAWN MOWER SOUND IN IDLE AND WHEN SHUTTING OFF MAKES A WHINING NOISE. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND AM TRYING TO GET FCA TO DO THE RIGHT THING VIA GEORGIA'S LEMON LAW. I HAVE DONE MY DUE DILIGENCE FOLLOWING FCA'S REQUIRED STEPS AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE MY ISSUE BUT WOULD GIVE ME A GOOD FAITH PAYMENT FOR MY TIME. I HAVE ASKED TO TALK TO SUPERVISORS ETC BUT AM TOLD THAT IS NOT THEIR PROTOCOL AND THEY CLOSED MY CASE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE!

JEEP 2016 POWER LIFTGATE WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE. THIS LEADS TO THE INABILITY TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE LIFTGATE, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY LUMINATED. THERE ARE RECALLS; HOWEVER MY VIN ISN'T LISTED. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER WHO CHANGED THE STRUT FOR OVER $300 AND IT STILL OCCURS.

I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS WERE FROZEN IN PLACE AND THE ELICTRICAL EQUIPMENT ON THE DASH WENT HAYWIRE FOR A MOMENT. THE MESSAGE CENTER THEN SHOWED THE MESSAGE "START STOP SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE/ PLEASE RETURN TO PARK, THEN CHOOSE DESIRED GEAR." I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON MY FLASHERS, BUT DESPITE SHIFTING TO PARK AND TO DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE ENGINE DID NOT SEEM TO BE RUNNING. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON WITH THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE TURNED OVER. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT THE NEXT TWO STOP LIGHTS. I DROVE ABOUT THREE MILES PAST THE THIRD STOPLIGHT, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I TURNED ON MY FLASHERS AND CAME TO A FULL STOP COASTING WITH NO BRAKES AND NO ABILITY TO SHIFT GEARS. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON WITH THE KEY AGAIN AND THE CAR SEEMED "FINE." I USED THE DASH BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE AUTO-OFF MECHANISM AND DROVE THE LAST TEN MILES HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THE ESS SYSTEM IS RELATED TO THE MALFUNCTION, HOWEVER THE ERROR MESSAGE AND RESULT OF TURNING IT OFF SUGGESTS IT IS. I STILL HAVE A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "SERVICE AUTO ON OFF SYSTEM." CALLING DEALERSHIP TODAY.

FIRST THE CAR KEPT REPORTING THAT MY FRONT LEFT TIRE WAS LOW AND EVEN AFTER I CHECKED THE PRESSURE, IT CONTINUED TO DO SO. IT TOOK SEVERAL HOURS FOR IT TO STOP. NOW I HAVE A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ERROR AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON MY SHIFTER ARE ON. I HEAR A HIGH-PITCHED ELECTRONIC SOUND WHEN I SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS AND THERE ARE CONSUMERS REPORTING THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENED TO THEM, THEIR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. A FEW OF THE CARS WERE TOTALED! I AM GOING TO CALL THE DEALER IN THE MORNING. APPARENTLY THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED ENOUGH FOR JEEP/CHRYSLER TO CONSIDER A RECALL. ONE LAST NOTE: WHEN THESE ERRORS LIGHT UP ON THE DASH, YOU CANNOT ACCESS ANY OTHER INFORMATION. YOU CANNOT EVEN SEE YOUR SPEEDOMETER.

VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK (LIKE REAR-ENDED) ONCE; WHAT IT SEEMS, FROM THE TRANSMISSION GOT HEAT AFTER DRIVING FOR 5-10 MINS. FEELS EVEN MORE ON UPHILLS AND ACCELARATION. NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS. ALL STARTED AROUND 58000 MILES

IT HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. IT BURNS A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. IT TAKES 5 QUARTS OF OIL AND THE OIL CHANGE IS EVERY 5000 MILES SO BY THE TIME IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE THERE IS NO OIL LEFT. IT STALLED DEAD ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING BECAUSE IT HAD NO OIL. I HAD NO ADVANCED WARNING IT JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I HAVE DONE 7 OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND JEEP IS TELLING ME IT IS "JEEP STANDARD" AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.

JEEP LOST ALMOST ALL POWER WHILE IN MODERATE 2 LANE (55MPH) HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. WITHOUT ANY SORT OF WARNING THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON, WITH A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE. LUCKILY, THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME WAS ALERT SO I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I COASTED TO A STOP ON A VERY NARROW SHOULDER, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND ON THEN ON. I WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE JEEP BACK HOME IN "LIMP MODE". THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO HAVE SEVERAL PREVIOUS REPORTS.

IN NOVEMBER 2016 I WAS DRIVING IN A 35MPH ZONE. THE CAR BEGAN TO SKIP AND JUMP FORWARD. WITHOUT WARNING THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL MY LIGHTS FOR THE SHIFTER CAME ON (P,R,N,D). THE CAR WHICH WAS IN DRIVE IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO PARK AND I LOST ALL CONTROL. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP AND CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE ISSUE WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID IT'S A DEFECT IN THE SHIFTER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY VAGUE WHEN EXPLAINING THIS TO ME. TWO WEEKS LATER I I WAS TOLD I COULD PICK UP MY CAR. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY 10/04/2017, MY CAR DID THE SAME THING. I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH THIS TIME AND LOST ALL CONTROL. I HAD TO JUMP A CURB AND DRIVE ACROSS THE LAWN AND INTO THE PARKING LOT. I HAVE READ MANY ISSUES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED? ESPECIALLY IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I COULD HAVE CAUSED A LARGE ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR. SAFETY OF CONSUMER AND OTHERS ON ROAD NEED TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SOME, NOT ALL OF THE 2016 CHEROKEES NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. WITHOUT THE UPDATE MY CAR WILL GO INTO "LIMB MODE". YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, YOU COULD BE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY, MAKING A TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, JUST WHENEVER. WHEN IN "LIMP MODE YOU LOSE ACCELERATION OR YOUR CAR STAYS IN 4TH GEAR. THIS VERY DANGEROUS. I THINK ALL CHEROKEE OWNERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS POTENIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TO PROTECT ITSELF, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, NO OIL OR ENGINE LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE YEAR. THE MOST RECENT SEPT. 27, 2017 WAS WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC ON A SIDE STREET IN WORCESTER MA.. IT TOOK 5 MEN TO PHYSICALLY PUSH MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING. UNACCEPTABLE. AFTER HAVING A TUNE UP IN MID-JULY 2017, THE CAR DIP STICK IN LATE SEPTEMBER WAS DRY. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALER I FOUND OUT IT TOOK 4 QUARTS OF OIL. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT. I AM NOW GOING TO HAVE TO CHECK EVERY 500 TO 1,000 MILES NOT TO MENTION THE HIGHER COST TO PURCHASE SYNTHETIC OIL. THE

BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT AT 41111 MILES WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING WAS COMPROMISED. FOOT WAS ON BRAKE, THEN CAR STARTED MOVING FORWARD AFTER POPPING SOUND HEARD. HAD TO SLAM DOWN ON BREAK TO GET CAR TO STOP MOVING AT < 2 MILES PER HOUR

WHEN THE WEATHER IS OVER 90 DEGREE THE ENGINE DOES NOT START WHILE USING THE PUSH IGNITION BUTTON OR THE REMOTE START. THE AC AND RADIO ARE OPERATIONAL HOWEVER THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH OTHER SERVICE PARK BRAKE WARNING MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START TILL THE WEATHER COOLS DOWN AND GETS BELOW 90 DEGREES. THERE IS POSSIBILITY THIS ISSUE CAN ARISE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IN WHICH CASE IT COULD BE DEADLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. WHEN SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OPERABLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES AND THE SHIFTER MALFUNCTION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. SAFFORD OF FREDERICKSBURG (5202 JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGHWAY, FREDERICKSBURG, VA) COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,100.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY IN ADEQUATE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. TURNING CORNERS ARE BLIND SPOTS AND CONCERN WITH HITTING SOMETHING UNSEEN. GIVES THE IMPRESSION OF OVER DRIVING YOR LIGHTS GIVING CONCERN WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP IN TIME IF SOMETHING SHUD APPEAR IN HEADLIGHTS. SEEMS TO BE A "LINE" OF ILLUMINATION THAT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ABOVE. THIS IS ALL THE TIME

WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL, TRAVELING DOWN A MODERATELY STEEP HILL, THE SPEED WOULD NOT REMAIN CONSTANT AND THE ENGINE WOULD ACTUALLY ENGAGE TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE RATHER THAN GOVERN THE SPEED AT THE MPH SETPOINT, WITHOUT HAVING MY FOOT ON THE THROTTLE. THE TACHOMETER WOULD SHOW THE ENGINE REV INCREASE AND YOU COULD HEAR THE ENGINE AS WELL WHEN THIS HAPPENED. OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CAR AND CRUISE CONTROL WERE OPERATING AS DESIGNED!

SEAMS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WERE NOT PROPERLY SEALED AT THE FACTORY, WHICH RESULTED IN HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF STANDING WATER ON THE FRONT AND BACK FLOOR BOARDS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR NOW SMELLS LIKE A MUSTY MOLDY BASEMENT. AS OF TODAY'S DATE 8/25/17 THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX OUR CAR TWICE, BUT WE ANTICIPATE NEEDING TO GO BACK FOR A THIRD TIME.

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND WILL NOT RESTART. FIVE + INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED THIS YEAR ALONE, FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JAN 25, 2017 - THE MOST RECENT OCCURRED TODAY AUG 24, 2017. AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER NEW/RELATED FAULTY ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED TO INCLUDE THE TRANSMISSION AND SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING. EVEN AFTER THE SO-CALLED REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN. ALL INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, TURNING, STOPPED ON CITY STREETS, AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RE-START ENGINE AFTER RUNNING A SHORT (LESS THAT 5 MINUTE) ERRAND. INCIDENTS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE ENDANGERING LIFE AND SAFETY. PREMIER JEEP DEALERSHIP IN PLACENTIA, CA HAS BEEN LESS THAN COOPERATIVE AND RUDE IN DEALING WITH A FEMALE OWNER. LOSS OF USE OF VEHICLE HAS RESULTED IN ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR OTHER VEHICLE RENTAL/INSURANCE AND LOST WAGES FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO GET TO OR HAVING TO LEAVE WORK EARLY TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. COPIES OF VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REPAIR WILL BE FORTHCOMING. PLEASE NOTE THEIR HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS CITED INCIDENTS OF THIS ISSUE OCCURRING ON THE JEEP CHEROKEE BUILT IN LATE 2015 THROUGH EARLY 2016. CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS EVEN DISTRIBUTED NOTICES TO ALL DEALERSHIPS RECENTLY TO ADVISE OF THE ISSUE.

AFTER PURCHASE OF MY 2016 JEEP, WHICH HAD 8000 MILES, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING STRONG SHAKING IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN A BUMP IN THE ROAD WAS STRUCK. I TOOK THE CAR TO JEEP, DARCAR IN WALDORF MARYLAND. THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. THIS SHAKING CONTINUED SO I TOOK IT BACK. AGAIN THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. NOW MY FRONT END IS NOT ONLY JUMPING BUT SQUEALING. THIS IS MY FIRST JEEP AND AS MUCH AS I LIKE THE VEHICLE, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A PROBLEM IS OCCURRING ALREADY. THIS OCCURRED AND GOT WORST AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREETS OF PENNSYLVANIA AND THE CITY OF WALDORF MARYLAND

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON 4/16/16 IN LANSING MICHIGAN. HAVE CONSISTENTLY HAD ISSUES WITH TIRES HOLDING CORRECT PRESSURE. HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED LOSS OF PRESSURE, BUT NO LEAKS FOUND. WILL NOT REPLACE TIRES UNDER WARRANTY. NO DAMAGE HAS BEEN SUSTAINED TO ANY OF THE TIRES AT ANY TIME. ALL FOUR TIRES DEFECTIVE.

AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN FRONT END COLLITION. SHIFTER LEVER SHOWS RED INDICATOR LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING IN ALL GEARS NEUTRAL , REVERSE, DRIVE, AND PARK. PULLED OFF ROAD TURNED OFF CAR THEN BACK ON LIGHTS WENT AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES UNDER 30,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND PROBLEM

ANOTHER CAR RAN AN INTERSECTION MY DAUGHTER STRUCK CAR IN THE SIDE THEN SHE HIT A TELEPHONE POLE GOING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND OVER 75% OF HER FRONT END RECEIVED DAMAGE

PUT JEEP IN PARK WENT IN BUILDING TO GRAB SOMETHING. CAME OUT JEEP ROLLED FORWARD INTO LOADING DOCK AT HUSBANDS JOB.

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT WHEN CAR ODOMETER READING WAS 16700 MILES. DEALER SAID "ROTORS WARPED" AND WAS A COMMON PROBLEM OCCURRING IN VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 20000 MILES. DEALER SAID CAUSED BY CAR NOT BEING DRIVEN FOR 2 MONTH PERIOD. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AFTER 12000 MILES OR 12 MONTHS. COMPLAINT IS THE BRAKES ON A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER ONLY 16,700 MILES OF NORMAL DRIVING. COST TO REPAIR WAS $482.00

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 75 MILES PER HOUR WHEN SHE VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING . THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT I COULDNT PRESS THE GAS BRAKES NOR DID THE STEERING WORK. A WEEK BEFORE THAT MY CAR WOULDNT CRANK. I HAVE BEEN TELLING THE SHOP 2 TIMES PRIOR SOMETHING WASNT RIGHT WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO HAS HAD 2 RECALLS REPAIRED. *TT *DT *JS *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE ENTERED INTO SAFE MODE AND DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO VICTORY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 45 NABER DR, SHALLOTTE, NC 28470, (877) 463-1766) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TCM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14E004000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,200.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE STARTED HAVING ISSUES. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE POPPED UP ON MY DISPLAY AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD ABSOLUTELY NO ACCELERATION CAPABILITY. MANAGED TO STAY WITH TRAFFIC AND PROCEED TO THE OFF RAMP TO A GAS STATION. I FOLLOWED WHAT IT'S SAID ON OWNER MANUAL: TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN ON THE CAR WHILE ON NATURAL FOR FEW MINUTES AND THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS THERE FOR A WHILE AND GOT TURNED OFF IT SELF. BUT THE NEXT DAY SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY DID NOT HAVE A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST TO CHECK THE CAR. I HAD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THE APPOINTMENT IS FOR TOMORROW. INTERESTING IS THE MANUAL SAYS AFTER RESETTING SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT MIGHT CAUSE ENGINE PROBLEMS, AND SHOULD HAVE DEALER TO CHECK BUT THE DEALERS DON'T CHECK THE CAR RIGHT-AWAY THEY GIVE YOU APPOINTMENT FOR FEW DAYS LATER OR A WEEK LATER. I HAD THIS CAR FOR YEAR AND HALF I DRIVE 3 MILES FROM HOME TO WORK I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE CAR SHOULD HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT THIS EARLY STAGES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. NOT HAPPY AT ALL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE PROPERLY WITH LOW VISIBILITY. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (PERCY'S AUTO SALES INC, 40 HOULTON RD, PRESQUE ISLE, ME 04769, (207) 764-4493), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED ON ITS OWN AND THE PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVEN OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MARK THOMAS MOTORS JEEP/TOYOTA IN ALBANY, OREGON) A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES. THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. ...UPDATED 10/23/17 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TRADED IN.*JS

1) CAR STALLS AT RANDOM WITHOUT WARNING AND NO APPARENT CAUSE. I'VE HAD THE CAR STALL AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER TURNING (ABLE TO RESTART) BUT MOST SIGNIFICANTLY AN INCIDENT OCCURRING 7/9/2017 WHEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH WHILE TOWING A 3500LB TRAILER. THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDODOMETER DROPPED IMMEDIATELY TO ZERO. TOTAL SHUTDOWN. CONCURRENTLY ALL THE ELECTRONICS SHUTDOWN, INCLUDING POWER BRAKES. THANKFULLY I WAS ON A FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART; NO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WERE FUNCTIONING. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. 3) CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO MAINTAIN CAR SPEED ON MODERATE DOWNGRADES...RPM'S WILL SHOOT TO 5000, THEN CAR WILL "TAKE OFF" INCREASING SPEED BY AS MUCH AS 15 MPH MORE THAN CONTROL IS SET FOR. MY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED/REPLICATED BY A JEEP CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER BUT THEY HAVE STATED THEY CAN'T FIX THE CAR BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET, I START SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN AND AT ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR THE POWER IN MY CAR TURNS COMPLETELY OFF ENGINE TURNS OFF, LIGHTS TURN OFF, INSIDE LIGHTS TURN OFF, I LET THE CAR ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PUT THE CAR ON PARK THEN TURN THE IGNITION TO SEE IF THEY'LL TURN ON. THE CAR DOES TURN BACK ON SO I CONTINUE ON MY WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN MOTION THE LIGHTS FLICKER AND THEN IT SHUTS OFF.

DRIVING 65-75 MPH ON HIGHWAY IN HIGH TRAFFIC, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE CAME ON ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO ACCELERATION NO USE OF SPEEDOMETER, CRUSE, COULDN'T CHECK GAUGES. WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. LET VEHICLE SIT AND RESTART. ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON CALLED THE JEEP 800 NUMBER I HAD IN THE VEHICLE AND WAS DISCONNECTED TWICE WITH NO RETURN CALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS UNDER 15,000 MILES ON IT. NOW LESS THAN A WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE CODE. WHICH CAME UP AS: P0887 TCM POWER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH DEFINITION FOR CODE: INDICATES THAT THE TCM POWER RELAY CONTROL ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT SIGNAL HAD HIGH VOLTAGE FOR PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME.

2016 JEEP WITH "ACTIVE DRIVE II" WHILE FLAT TOWING MY VEHICLE BEHIND MY MOTOR HOME ACCORDING TO BOOK PROCEDURES, WE ENCOUNTERED AN INCIDENT WHERE THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE STARTED ROCKING, SHAKING, MOVING RIGHT/LEFT UP AND DOWN. WE WERE ON A MAIN HIGHWAY(CONCRETE IMPROVED). I INITIALLY HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPEN. WE HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A COUPLE HOURS. ONCE OFF ROAD, I COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. TIRES, TOW BAR, SUSPENSION ALL SEEMED AS IT SHOULD BE. WE MOVED THE MOTORHOME WAS VEHICLE (OUR TOW) SLOWLY TO A MORE SAFE AREA. STILL FOUND NOTHING. ONCE HOME +- 150 MILES MORE WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. I HAVE MADE NOTICE OF THIS TO BOTH JEEP WAVE AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE GOTTEN RECEIVED MIXED INFORMATION AS FEED BACK. I'VE GOT GREAT CONCERN IF THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

TRUNK DOOR AUTOMATICALLY CLOSED AFTER BEING OPENED TO PLACE ITEM IN TRUNK AND FAILED TO REVERSE ITSELF AFTER CLOSING ON WIFE'S HEAD. CAUSED LACERATION TO FOREHEAD AFTER TRUNK DOOR HIT HER HEAD AND CONTINUED TO CRUSH INTO HER. HAD TO RUSH TO EMERGENCY ROOM DUE TO SIZE OF CUT AND BLEEDING. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED DURING THE INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED SUDDENLY INCREASED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A TRAFFIC CONE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER SUDDENLY STOPPED OPERATING. ON SOME OCCASIONS, AFTER REMOVING THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH A MESSAGE INDICATING "KEY INSERTED" WOULD DISPLAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUNTINGTON JEEP IN HUNTINGTON, NEW YORK, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,200.

PURCHASED MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE IN SEPTEMBER 2015 BRAND NEW WITH 19 MILES. THE CAR STARTED OFF RUNNING GREAT I LOVED IT. BY APRIL 2016, I NOTICED THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIVE DIFFERENTLY AND AT FIRST I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BUT IT GOT WORSE AND WORSE. BY OCTOBER MY CAR WAS JERKING SO BAD, STALLING SOMETIMES AND ACCELERATING SOMETIMES ON IT'S ON.I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH ONLY 11000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. MY CAR DROVE LIKE IT ONCE USED TO UNTIL ABOUT THE END OF JANUARY 2017. THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN ONCE AGAIN JUMPING FROM 1GEAR TO 3 GEAR AND BACK. IN FEBRUARY ON MY WAY TO WORK MY SHIFTER LOCKED ON ME AND WENT COMPLETELY OUT CAUSING ME TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THANK GOD IT WAS 4AM AND NO CARS WERE OUT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPRESSED MY TROUBLES WITH THE CAR AND THEY CHANGED THE SHIFTER AND DID SOME UPDATE ON THE CAR SAYING THAT THAT'S WHY MY CAR WAS DRIVING THE WAY IT WAS. THE VERY NEXT FRIDAY AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM THEM, I ALMOST HIT THE BACK OF A CAR COMING DOWN STREET WITH A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE VEHICLE SPED UP ON IT OWN WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE GAS FROM 25MPH TO 45MPH JUMPING FROM 2 TO 4 GEAR. THE CAR JERKED SO HARD FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I CALLED JEEP AND TOLD THEM I WAS BRINGING THE CAR BACK IT WAS NOT FIXED AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THEY GOT THE VEHICLE, THEY CLAIMED WHEN THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE IT PERFORMED HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED.I HAVE BEEN HAVING NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR SINCE THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED CHRYSTLER MYSELF TO EXPRESS MY ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND THEY PRETENDED TO CAR AT FIRST AND BARELY GOT IN TOUCH WITH ME TOWARDS THE END OF IT. FINALLY, I FOUND A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY AND I AM CURRENTLY FIGHTING THEM TO BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP BRAND NEW ZERO MILES, CURRENTLY ITS AT 28K. I BEGAN TO HEAR A FLAPPING NOISE WHEN SHES ON IDLE AND THE AUTO SHUT OFF ISNT ON AND WHEN I START TO DRIVE THE NOISE GOES AWAY. LATER I NOTICED THAT ON START POINT THE ACCELERATOR EITHER GETS STUCK OR IT MAKES THE STARTING JOLT AS IF I GASSED IN THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY. WHEN IM ON THE FREEWAY AND I LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL THE SPEED WONT DECREASE I'D HAVE TO USE THE BRAKE PEDAL, OBVIOUSLY THE SPEED WONT DECREASE IF IM GOING DOWNHILL, THIS IS WHEN IM ON A FLAT WAYWARD. THESE SYMPTOMS WITH THE EXCLUSION OF THE FLAPPING NOISE ON IDLE, HAPPEN ONLY OCCASIONALLY. MY JEEP IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD I MAINTAIN IT VERY REGULARLY ROTATE TIRES, FLUIDS, THE WORKS. I TOOK HER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IM HOPING A GOOD DIAGNOSTIC AND A GOOD FIX, BECAUSE SINCE IT HAPPENS ON OCCASIONS I DON'T WANT TO BRING MY JEEP BACK AND CONTINUE THE SAME ISSUE, IT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD, SHES OUR ONLY FAMILY CAR AND IF SOMETHING GOES BYPASSED, UNFORTUNATE EVENTS MAY TAKE PLACE, (GOD FORBID,) AND THIS ISSUE CAN BE SPOTTED RIGHT AWAY, I WILL HAVE PEACE OF IN MIND.

CAR GOT STUCK IN GEAR 8 ON HIGHWAY. HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT

BEGINNING ABOUT TWO MONTH AGO, I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DRIVE TRAIN RELATED ISSUES. THE INITIAL ISSUE WAS A FAILED REAR HUB AT AROUND 25,000 MILES WHICH WAS FOUND DURING AN OIL CHANGE. NEXT, THE MAIN DRIVE SHAFT (PROPELLER SHAFT) BEGAN MAKING GRINDING NOISES AS WELL AS A WOBBLE/THUMPING SOUND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE GRINDING SOUND WAS RESOLVED BUT THE WOBBLE/THUMPING CONTINUED. THE FOLLOWUP FOR THAT SOUND FOUND FAILED HALF-SHAFTS (BOTH SIDES), FAILED REAR DIFFERENTIAL, AND FAILED TRANSFER CASE/MODULE. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME WITHOUT ALL REPAIRS BEING COMPLETED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS AND "WARRANTY NOT AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL DAYS OF RENTAL" THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO GIVE FAILED PARKING BRAKE SERVICE CODES AND CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM CODES WHICH SUPPOSEDLY ARE RELATED NOW TO A FAILED ON BOARD CONTROL MODULE. WHEN THE MOST RECENT CODES (TODAY) WERE GIVEN THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR INITIALLY.

WATER SATURATING FLOOR AND CARPETS UNDER FLOOR MATS, PASSENGER FRONT AND REAR. MAY BE THE CAUSE OF INTERMITANT DOOR LOCKS , AND AT TIME UCONNECT RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM RESTARTS. FIRST VISIT TO DEALER, DEALER RESEALED/REWELDED ROCKER PANELS AND IMPROPERLY SEALED AREAS. SECOND VIST DEALER STATED THE LEAKING WAS A SUN ROOF. HOWEVER, VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A SUN ROOF. ? THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE WATER COMING IN FROM RAIN BUT HAS NOT CHECKED AC CONDENSATION OR OTHER MEANS OF ENTRY THAT WE KNOW OF. WATER DOES APPEAR TO SHOW UP FASTER DURING PERIODS OF HOT EATHER AND AC USAGE. PLEASE NOTE - I HAVE PICTURES OF MOLD GROWING RAPIDLY ON THE CARPET UNDER THE FLOOR MATS.

CAR STARTED TO SMELL MUSTY/MOLDY 8 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED IT (BRAND NEW). FOUND THE PASSENGER FLOOR CARPET TO BE WET AND WATER WAS DRAINING OUT OF THE DRAIN HOLE NEAR THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR. UPON MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER, THE CARPETING WAS PULLED BACK AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A SEAM IN THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WELL WAS NEVER WELDED AT THE FACTORY. THIS OPEN SEAM WAS ALLOWING WATER TO DUMP INTO MY CAR FOR 4 MONTHS. MY AND MY FAMILIES HEALTH HAS BEEN AFFECTED (SORE THROAT, COUGH AND HEADACHE WHEN IN THE CAR) BY THE MOLD IN THE CAR. THE SMELL IS HORRIFIC AND CAN ACTUALLY BE SMELLED WALKING NEAR THE CAR WITHOUT DOORS BEING OPENED. THE DEALER HAS STATED HE HAS NEVER SMELLED A CAR LIKE THIS. THIS BRAND NEW CAR IS DESTROYED. CARPETING IN THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED. SMELL IS JUST AS BAD. AN AIR BAG SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY WATER DAMAGE. WIRING THAT RUNS UNDER THE CARPETING HAD BEEN SOAKED FOR 4 MONTHS....CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT LONG TERM DAMAGE I WILL ENCOUNTER. THE CAR IS STILL THERE, NOW THEY ARE PULLING THE SPRAY FOAM OUT OF THE ROCKER PANELS PIECE BY PIECE. THEY SAID THE SMELL INSIDE THE FOAM IS UNBELIEVABLE. THERE IS NO WAY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE SMELL COMPLETELY FROM THIS CAR. I CAN PROVIDE ALL SERVICE RECORDS IF REQUIRED. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR A TOTAL OF 31 DAYS IN BETWEEN EARLY FEBRUARY AND TODAY (I STILL DON'T HAVE IT BACK). IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 OR 5 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

SALVAGE

CRASH TEST

ON MARCH 3/9/2017 I PURCHASED A 2016, JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4, 2.4L WITH 20,111. AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE, I RECEIVED A 109-POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION REPORT, AND I PERSONALLY CHECKED THE FLUID LEVELS. ON MAY 27, 2017, THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED WHEN TURNING INTO THE HOME DEPOT. I IMMEDIATELY, PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. AFTER INSPECTION, I CHECKED THE OIL, AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF OIL ON THE DIP STICK. THE JEEP'S MILEAGE WAS 24,211 MILES, WHICH IS ONLY 4,100 MILES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. HAVING LEARNED THAT NO OIL WAS REGISTERING ON THE DIP STICK, I OPENED UP THE HOOD AND LOOKED FOR SIGNS OF AN OIL LEAK? NO OIL LEAK WAS VISIBLE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND NO OIL LEAKAGE WAS FOUND UNDER THE JEEP. I THEN DROVE TO THE NEAREST RETAILER AND PURCHASED 5 QT CONTAINER OF 0W-20, FULL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL. AFTER RETURNING TO THE JEEP, I STARTED ADDING OIL, ONE QUART AT A TIME, AND CHECKING THE LEVEL OF THE OIL BETWEEN ADDING INTERVALS. AFTER ADDING ONE QUART, I COULD JUST SEE EVIDENCE OF OIL ON THE DIP STICK. IT TOOK 3.5 QUARTS BEFORE THE DIP STICK REGISTERED FULL. AT THAT POINT I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THE NORMAL DASH BOARD DIAGNOSTIC LIGHTS FLASHED ON/OFF AND THE CAR EXHIBITED NO SUSTAINED WARNING LIGHTS. NO SUSTAINED ENGINE LIGHT OR OIL LIGHT WERE VISIBLE AND THE JEEP APPEARED TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY. NO BLUE OR BLACK EXHAUST WAS VISIBLE FROM THE JEEP'S TAIL PIPE. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, I PROMPTLY CHANGED THE OIL AND OIL FILTER WITH THE 0W-20, FULL SYNTHETIC CASTROL MOTOR OIL AND A FRAM TOUGH GUARD FILTER. THE DISCARDED OIL WAS BLACK. FROM UNDER THE JEEP, THERE WAS NO SIGN OF AN OIL LEAK AROUND THE OIL FILTER, THE OIL PAN OR ANYWHERE INSIDE OF THE SKID SHIELD UNDER THE JEEP?

WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL AND GOING DOWNHILL, VEHICLE WILL OFTEN DOWNSHIFT AND QUICKLY ACCELERATE ABOUT 10 MPH. CRUISE CONTROL WILL REGAIN CONROL AND SLOW TO SET SPEED AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THUS FAR I HAVE OBSERVED THIS BEHAVIOR AT SET SPEEDS OF 45 MPH AND AT 68 MPH. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW CONSISTENT THE BEHAVIOR IS OR IF THE BEHAVIOR IS ONLY AT SPECIFIC MPHS.

TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENS. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS BACKING INTO THE GARAGE WHEN THE TRUNK OPENED ,CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY JEEP AND GARAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED INSIDE THE GARAGE, THE AUTOMATIC START FEATURE ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATED AND THE ENGINE STARTED. THE AUTOMATIC START FEATURE AND KEY FOB HAD NOT BEEN USED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, BUT THE RFHM WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE KEYLESS IGNITION SOFTWARE WAS IMPROVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,648.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS A 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN DRIVING IN TOWN AT A SLOW SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERATICALLY AND PAUSES DURING THE SPEED SHIFT TRYING TO EVALUATE WHICH GEAR IT NEEDS TO BE IN. SO EXTREME THAT I WAS ALMOST HIT TRYING TO AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CUSTOMER ASSIST, THE NSDC AND THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. CHRYSLER JUST KEEPS STATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION "WORKS AS DESIGNED". I HAVE EVEN HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLES ARE ALWAYS COMING IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO THIS. THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED AN "UPGRADE" TO THE SYSTEM WHICH THEY THINK WILL IMPROVE THE SHIFTING, BUT IT HAS NOT WORKED. I NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. IT IS AN ISSUE AND UNFORTUNATELY THE PREVIOUS HOMEOWNERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH JUST TRADED THEM IN AND NEVER COMPLAINED. PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. JUST BECAUSE CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS "PERFORMING AS DESIGNED" DOES NOT MEAN IT IS PERFORMING SAFELY.

THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING CAME ON AS I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION, ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION ICON. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO FILL UP. WHEN I RESTARTED IT SEEMED TO ACCELERATE FINE ON THE SURFACE STREET AND THEN HIGHWAY, BUT THE ICON REMAINED LIT. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING THEN CAME BACK ON A FEW MILES LATER AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. ONCE I DECELERATED, I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AGAIN. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND RESTARTED THE CAR. AGAIN, IT WORKED. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON IT SEEMS TO WORK FINE UNTIL THE WARNING COMES BACK ON (IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MILES) TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THIS EVENING. MY CAR IS 50 WEEKS, 12,200 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE SOFTWARE BEING UPDATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

JEEP RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. ENGINE IS GETTING REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 18 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE EXITING THE DRIVEWAY, THE CONTACT OBSERVED A FUEL SPILL UNDER THE VEHICLE NEAR THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE SAFETY LOCK VALVE ON THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSTALLED DURING PRODUCTION, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,200.

MY CAR JA A 2016 AND IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED THIS LAST TIME, AND IT TOOK A BIT TO START AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE... AND THEY UPDATED IT BUT IT'S DOING IT AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN READING AND THERE'S IS MORE ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND ALL GET THE SAME RESPONSE THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT AND THEY ONLY DO A SOFTWARE UPDATE IF THAT... WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY RECALL OR REPAIR THIS ISSUE, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE, I FEEL MY LIFE IS IN DANGER EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING IT, HOW MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES WILL JEEP CONTINUE PUTTING IN DANGER UNTIL THEY RESOLVE THE ISSUE OR RECALL THEIR THIS CAR. A SIMPLE WE DON'T KNOW AND TAKE YOUR CAR BACK DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY, THEY ALREADY SOLD THE CAR SO NOW IT'S OUR PROBLEM? I PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR FOR IT TO NOT BE RELIABLE AND TO FEEL MY LIFE AT RISK. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? HOW CAN I HAVE A RELIABLE CAR AGAIN? I HAVE A 2016 RELATIVELY NEW CAR AND THERE'S NO REASON I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS PROBLEMS WITH A NEW CAR SO EITHER I GOT A LEMON OR THEIR WHOLE LINE IS FAULTY BUT I DON'T THINK MY LIFE SHOULD BE AT RISK AND THEY NEED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I'M TIRED OF HEARING WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND IT MIGHT JUST BE A SOFTWARE, EVEN IF IT'S JUST THE SOFTWARE THEN THE CAR SHUTTING OFF ON IS SHOULDN'T BE THEIR WAY OF LETTING US KNOW WE NEED TO TAKE IT IN FOR AN UPDATE. PLEASE MAKE THIS COMPANY RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE ANY FATALITIES OCCUR DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AND WOULDN'T START UP AGAIN FOR ALMOST A MINUTE, THE OTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED AT A MALL PARKING LOT, THE OTHER TIME DRIVING DOWN A STREET. THANK YOU

DURING AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP (HIGHWAY) DRIVE WITH THE FAMILY ON EASTER SUNDAY, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY LOCKED INTO 8TH GEAR AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 2000 RPMS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" APPEARED ON THE CONTROL PANEL. IN ORDER TO NOT BE STRANDED, WE DROVE THE CAR IN 8TH GEAR FOR 3.5 HOURS BACK HOME. CAR WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS, NOR ACCELERATE. WE LUCKILY WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. UPON ARRIVING AT THE DEALERSHIP (CLOSED FOR HOLIDAY), ANOTHER JEEP OWNER WAS THERE DROPPING OFF HIS CAR AS HIS WAS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 45 MPH. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT JUST CALLED ME BACK NOW (NEXT DAY) AND SAID THAT TRANSMISSION ERROR IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED. WHY WOULD THE CAR NEED AN UPGRADE AND MAKE THE TRANSMISSION INOPERABLE WHILE I'M IN MOTION INSIDE THE CAR? INFURIATING!

RETURNING HOME FROM 1ST OIL CHANGE SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE (2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT) 3 MONTHS PRIOR, OWNER NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM HOOD IMMEDIATELY UPON PARKING VEHICLE AT RESIDENCE. AS SOON AS OWNER EXITED VEHICLE, OWNER NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM BOTTOM OF ENGINE. OWNER CALLED 911. THREE MINUTES LATER WHEN EMERGENCY VEHICLES ARRIVED, CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY FIRE INVESTIGATOR AND INSURANCE COMPANY.

VEHICLE STARTED LUNGING FORWARD AND SHIFTING ISSUES WHILE IN MOTION. DEFINITELY A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK. TECHNICIAN NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT WAITING ON DODGE TO CALL THEM BACK. HE SAID EITHER REPROGRAM IT OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION.

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A JEEP CHEROKEE JUST ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES FOR ROLLING AFTER THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK. JUST LAST SATURDAY (25 MARCH) MY WIFE WAS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AT OUR DAUGHTERS SOFTBALL GAME AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS KNOCKING HER TO THE GROUND ALMOST ROLLING OVER HER. THE VEHICLE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. SHE HAD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND RECEIVE TREATMENT.

WATER LEAKING INTO FLOOR BOARDS ON PASSENGER SIDE. CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AFTER DRIVING IN RAIN. A STRONG ODOR OF MILDEW WAS NOTICED THE NEXT DAY. DID AN INSPECTION TO SEE WHERE THE ODOR WAS COMING FROM, THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORS WERE SOAKED WITH WATER AND IN THE REAR FLOORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDES. USED A SHOP VAC TO VACUUM OUT AS MUCH WATER, VACUUMED OUT AT LEAST A GALLON OF MOLDY WATER.

SEE ATTACHED

TRANSMISSION LOCKS INTO GEAR DURING LIGHT THROTTLE OR NO THROTTLE LOADS REPEATEDLY. HAPPENS ON DOWNHILL DRIVING OR AT A RED LIGHT/STOP SIGN. CAR HAS NO POWER AND HAS TO BE DRIVEN OFF TO THE SIDE TO RESET COMPUTER OR LEFT SITTING IN AN INTERSECTION WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK (ONE TIME). DEALER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IS REPLACING PARTS FROM THE COMPUTER TO A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION NOW. WIFE FEELS UNSAFE IN WHAT SHOULD BE A BRAND NEW PROBLEM FREE CAR

THE 2016 TRAILHAWK VERSION OF THE CHEROKEE HAS A DANGEROUS TENDENCY WHEN DESCENDING STEEP BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT ROADS WITH GRADES OF 8-12%. THIS MODEL WAS SUPPOSEDLY DESIGNED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHEN GOING DOWNHILL ON THESE TYPES OF GRADES. IF YOU SHIFT IT INTO FIRST GEAR IN LOW RANGE, IT CANNOT HOLD THE GRADE AS THE ENGINE HAS INADEQUATE COMPRESSION TO SLOW THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT INTO 2ND EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER IS IN FIRST GEAR. THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE DOWNHILL A AN EXTREMELY HIGH RATE AND JUST BEFORE IT HITS THE REDLINE, IT WILL SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR, THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE UNTIL YOU APPLY THE BRAKES TO BRING IT UNDER CONTROL. THIS WILL GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I SUBMITTED A REVIEW OF THIS AND OTHER ISSUES TO JEEP AND THEY SIMPLY ADVISED ME TO SPEAK TO A JEEP DEALER WHICH I DID. I EXPLAINED THIS ISSUE TO THEM AND THEY HAD NO SOLUTION FOR THIS. BECAUSE OF THIS WE SOLD THE CAR IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR. WE BOUGHT IT IN APRIL OF 2016 AND TRADED IT IN THIS MONTH.

DRIVING 40MPH JUST ENTERING THE MASSPIKE RAMP IN ALLSTON/BRIGHTON AREA WITH MY SUNROOF OPENED, WHEN A LOAD EXPLOSION OCCURRED. I LOOKED ALL AROUND THE VEHICLE SAW SOME GLASS, LOOKED UP AND SUNROOF COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NOTHING WAS PROJECTED AT CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN OCT. '16 AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE ROOF. FIRST IT RATTLED THEY CHANGED THE FRAME, NOW GLASS SHATTERED AND THE DEALER IS CHARGING MY INSURANCE TO FIX.POORLY MADE CAR. ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH REAR SEATS RATTLING. IT WAS A 50 DEGREE DAY IN BOSTON.

IN COLD TEMPERATURES MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HEAT PROPERLY. NOTICED THAT IN MY CLIMATE CONTROL SETTING THAT STRICTLY GOES TO THE FLOOR IT HAS NO FORCE, AND SOUNDS LIKE IT BLOWS ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT DOESN'T. SERVICE ADVISOR INDICATED THAT IS THE PROBLEM BUT NO CORRECTION FOR ISSUE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH IN THE LOWER 3 GEARS. THERE IS A BAD JUMPING/LURCHING/BANGING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE IN THE DASHBOARD, ALONG WITH THE WIRES AND BUTTONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES AFTER THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE START ON AND OFF BUTTON FAILED TO WORK WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE BRAKE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

VEHICLE IN MOTION, 65 MPH SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. ABILITY TO ACCELERATE CEASED, MERGED ON TO FREEWAY ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED AT 60 MPH BUT UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. ON THE WAY TO DEALERSHIP, STOPPED RPMS WENT WAY UP, NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. PURCHASED BRAND NEW, CURRENTLY AT 14,091 MILES.

OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION AND ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. WHILE BRAKING, THE BRAKE PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY SNAPS DOWN ABOUT A HALF INCH AND MAKES A VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE THAT EMITS FROM SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE PRIMARY BRAKE PEDAL MECHANISM. IT IS STARTLING FOR THE DRIVER AND CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES. BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY FROM PURCHASE IN MAY 2016 UNTIL JAN 2017 WHEN A CHRYSLER SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED THAT CHANGED THE PARKING BRAKE FROM MANUAL ON/OFF TO AUTO ON/OFF. DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE BOOSTER BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THEY ARE NOW STATING IT IS NORMAL AND REFUSING TO WORK ON IT ANYMORE. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE AT LEAST 3 TIMES FOR THIS MALFUNCTION AND BELIEVE THE BRAKES ARE UNSAFE. VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DEALER (HAS BEEN FOR 2-WEEKS NOW), WITH NO WORK BEING DONE TO FIND AND FIX THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE STALLS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, COMPLETELY LOSING ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND ACCELERATION RAPIDLY DECLINES TO 0. DASH DISPLAYS SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR. IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE WORKING CORRECTLY AGAIN, I MUST SHIFT TO P AND THEN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON (WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE BACK ON, IT HESITATES TO START). CAN'T TURN ON HAZARDS SO NO ONE KNOWS WHY I AM STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWO TIMES NOW, GOING ON THREE. BEING TOLD SOFTWARE. REGARDLESS OF THAT, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS. ALL IT WILL TAKE IS SOMEONE NOT PAYING ATTENTION FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR GOD-FORBID WORSE.

WHEN IT IS BELOW FREEZING OUT THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT. YOU CAN GET OUT OF NEIGHBORHOOD IN LOW GEAR BUT WHEN YOU GO TO GET ON HIGHWAY THE CAR JUST DIES. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL UNTIL TRANSMISSION FLUID WARMS UP.

THE JEEP STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION! SEVERAL TIMES AND ONCE AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY ! THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WENT ON AND THEN I RECEIVED THE JEEP BACK NINE DAYS LATER AND THE THE ENGINE RATTLES AND THE CONSOLE CRACKING SOUNDS THEMOTOR SOUND LIKE IT'S RUNNING HIGHER THAN BEFORE IT WAS FIX I TOOK IT BACK THE SERVICE MANGER TOLD ME THAT IT RUNS FINE AND I NEED TO RELAX AND ENJOY THE ARTS BUT I DON'T THINK IT WORKING LIKE IT WAS PRIOR TO BREAKING DOWN ! IT HAD 6949 MILES ON IT AND NOW THE SHOCKS SEEM TO HIT HARD TOO ! SO I NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON ! JEEP CORPORATE TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE ! I ASKED FOR A BETTER JEEP! AND I WAS TOLD THAT THINGS HAPPEN ! THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WON'T LOOK AT IT AGIAN ! AND THE JEEP SEEMS TO BE PULLING TO THE LEFT ! BUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOOKS ALIGNED!

DRIVERS SIDE WIPER STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. THE PASSENGERS STILL WORKS UNABLE TO DRIVE CAR WHEN IT RAINS.

HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND THE THERMOSTAT BLEW. GUY AT DEALERSHIP SAID " CHRYSLER GOT A BAD BATCH OF THERMOSTATS" AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. GET HOME AND NEXT DAY CAR HAD LIST ALMOST ALL ANTIFREEZE. LEAKING. HORRIBLY. WAS DRIVING, ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. GOT CODES RAN, "THERMOSTATS RATIONAL". WEIGHT START. TRIED THE TIMES, STARTED AND RAN ROUGH.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70-75 MPH) AND SPEED CONTROL IS ENGAGED, WHILE CRESTING A HILL, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL TAKE OFF TO OVER 80 MPH AND THE TACH. GOES TO OVER 4,000 RPM. BRAKING DOESN'T SEEM TO DISENGAGE THE CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF COMPLETELY AND IN A FEW SECONDS, IT WILL DISENGAGE. IT'S HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY ON 3 DIFFERENT HIGHWAY TRIPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S EMERGENCY BRAKE INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED ON ITS OWN WHILE BEING TOWED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A WIRING HARNESS AND THE POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.

ORDERED A WINDSHIELD BACK ON 12/20. IT STILL ISN'T IN!! I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY FACTOR AND I HAVE 2 CASE NUMBERS WITH JEEP AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE A WINDSHIELD. EVERY TIME THEY SAY IT'S DUE TO BE IN, THE DATE CHANGES. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND IT IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS.

A LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH THAT READ "SERVICE TRANSMISSION". THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND MY CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. STOPPING AT A LIGHT, MY CAR NEARLY STALLED WHEN I NEEDED TO CROSS OVER AN INTERSECTION. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO BE SERVICED THE FOLLOWING DAY. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE STATION THAT THE ISSUE WASN'T WITH THE TRANSMISSION- BUT THAT THE CAR NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT WHEN MY CAR NEARLY STALLED DRIVING ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. I ADDRESSED MY CONCERN WITH FCA, BUT WAS TOLD THAT SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE ROUTINELY NEEDED AND SHOULD BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME AS MY OIL CHANGE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 5300 MILES AND IS ONLY DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCES (MOSTLY ON THE WEEKEND). THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A CAR SO NEW AND SUCH LITTLE MILEAGE. ALSO, MY CAR HAS BEEN KEPT UPDATED WITH THE NECESSARY OIL CHANGES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I AM NOT NOTIFIED AHEAD OF TIME IF MY CAR NEEDS THESE SOFTWARE UPDATES? AM I JUST EXPECTED TO CROSS MY FINGERS AND HOPE THIS ISSUE DOESN'T OCCUR AGAIN? THIS ISSUE GREATLY AFFECTED MY SAFETY. AND MY CAR WASN'T DRIVABLE. IT'S BOTH A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND AN INCREDIBLE INCONVENIENCE.

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP AT LEAST 4 TIMES TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THEY KEEP TELLING ME ITS A SOFTWARE UPDATES, BUT THE ROUGH SHIFT OR NON-SHIFTING STARTS AGAIN IN ABOUT 3-4 DAY AFTER I GET MY VEHICLE BACK. IT SHIFTS FINE UNTIL 4 GEAR AND THEN IT DOES NOT SHIFT ANYMORE AND GRINDS THE GEARS.

YESTERDAY I STARTED UP JEEP IN MY GARAGE, UPON WAITING FOR IT TO WARM UP I CAN HERE A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE CENTER COUNSEL AREA, SO I BEND OR AND PUT MY EAR BY THE CARPET, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IN THE TRANSMISSION, ITS STARTING TODAY TO SHIFT WEIRD,I NEED NUMBER TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER TO CHECK, HEMET,CA MILEAGE-5978

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I WAS DRIVING 50MPH AND MY JEEP COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN - 0 MPH, 0 RPM, BUT I COULD STILL STEER AND BRAKE. NO LIGHTS, NO WARNING. PULLED INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD, HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK, REMOVE THE KEY AND PUT IT BACK IN TO GET IT TO DO ANYTHING AGAIN. RESTARTED WITH NO HESITATION. *TR

DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, JEEP TURNED OFF BUT I COULD STILL STEER AND BRAKE. HAD TO STOP COMPLETELY, PUT IT IN PARK, REMOVE AND RE-INSERT KEY FOR IT TO RESTART. STARTED WITH NO HESITATION, NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING CAME ON. *TR

ACCELLERATING FROM A STOP TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN. HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION TO PUT IT IN PARK, REMOVE AND RE-INSERT KEY, AND RESTART. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED IN THE PROCESS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AFTER (SATURDAY), THEY HAVE HAD IT ALL WEEK - SAID THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT EVERY DAY AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TODAY IS THURSDAY AND THEY ARE ASKING ME TO PICK IT UP. WIRING IS SECURE, BATTERY IS FINE, THERE IS NO TRACE IN THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER THAT THERE WAS EVER AN ISSUE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY MY JEEP CHEROKEE LOCKED ITSELF AND WOULD NOT SHIFT AND SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THIS VEHICLE HAS JERKED INTO GEAR, HAS SHIFTED HARD, TOOK A LONG TIME TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE FROM PARK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 1/23/17 SAID THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON STRAIGHT HIGHWAY GOING DOWNHILL UNDER ENGINE POWER WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND SET AT 45 MPH TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS AND UPSHIFTS ABRUPTLY AND RPM INCREASES AND SPEED SURGES INCREASES TO 63 MPH. GOING DOWN SAME HILL AR 45 MPH WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON NEXT TRIP CAR COASTS ONLY TO 50 MPH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO ADD OIL TO THE VEHICLE EVERY 1,200 MILES. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,200.

SETTING CRUISE DOES NOT HOLD WITH EVEN VERY MINOR INCLINE/DECLINE NO MATTER WHAT SPEED SET IS. THE INCREASE OF SPEED DURING SET CRUISE IS ALARMING AT OVER 10+ MILES AT MEDIUM DECLINE, AND AT SOME POINT CAR TRIES TO SLOW DOWN, BUT IT IS NOT A SMOOTH TRANSITION, AS IT FEELS JERKY. I HAVE TAKEN TO LICAL JEEP DEALER, BUT THEY SAID MAYBE AFTR "COMPUTER UPDATES", IT WOULD REMEDY IT. NOT! I CAN BE ON A BOULEVARD, STREET, HIGHWAY, ETC... I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR 1-13-2017 WHILE LATITUDE STILL HAS WARRANTY...NO DEALER IS ABLE TO GET VEHICLES IN QUICKLY, SO THAT ALONE SAYS A LOT ABOUT ISSUES WITH THIS MANUFACTURER.... I WOULD ADD THAT I TESTED CRUISE WITH THAT AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUTOFF BOTH ON AND OFF TO NARROW IT DOWN, BUT THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE... THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH DEFROSTING WINDSHIELD, TOO, WHERE THE ONLY REMEDY IS ROLLING DOWN WINDOWS, WHICH IS TERRIBLE IN FOG, RAIN, COLD WEATHER... THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS THE AREA WHERE THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS ARE: IT IS SO WIDE, IT BLOCKS AN ONCOMING CAR (ESPECIALLY ON PASSENGER SIDE), WHEN TRYING TO TURN LEFT. IT MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ROAD, TOO, AS MANY STREETS HAVE MEDIANS AND MANY DO NOT. SOME HAVE CONCRETE BIKE CURBS, AND ONE MUST PULL CAR FURTHER OUT THAN NORMAL, JUST TO AVOID RUNNING INTO SOMETHING. THIS IS TRUE FOR BOTH RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS. IF AREA IS DARK, IT IS A GUESSING GAME. THIS ALSO MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE DEER IN NEIGHBORHOODS OR FREEWAYS HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, MUCH LESS OBJECTS THAT ARE THREE FEET TALL AND BELOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED NORMALLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS TOO LOW AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

BOUGHT CAR IN FEB 2016 AND WAS OK TO TOW 4 WHEELS DOWN WITH OUT ANY ADDITIONS. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT I COULD NO LONGER TOW 4 WHEELS DOWN WITH OUT ADDING A MOPAR FLAT TOW WIRING KIT. DUE TO BATTERY DRAINAGE THE FRONT END GOES INTO A SERIOUS WOBBLE WHICH COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH. JEEP REFUSES TO PAY FOR THIS ADDITION. I TOWED THIS CAR FROM AZ TO FL AND JUST LAST MONTH I DID HAVE THE WOBBLE AND MUST SAY GLAD I WAS NOT GOING HIGHWAY SPEED AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS!!!! THIS HAPPENED WHILE GOING THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION SITE AND THE SPEED WAS ABOUT 35 TI 40 MPH, IT WAS SO BAD THAT I HAD TO STOP AND SPEND TIME UNHOOKING AND THEN HOOKING BACK UP AGAIN. LUCKILY THERE WAS PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD.

PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE CAR BUCKING SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER CHANGING GEARS. THEN, WHEN THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE (BUT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE), CAR WOULD START TO BUCK AGAIN, TRANSMISSION SLOWED, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, KEPT BUCKING AND LIGHTS IN CAR DIMMER. HAD TO KEEP RESTARTING THE CAR TO GET IT TO KEEP GOING. BUT, ONCE I USED THE BRAKE AGAIN, THE BUCKING AND LOSS OF ACCELERATION WOULD START ALL OVER AGAIN. DEALER CONTINUES TO STATE THAT THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR IS NOT REGISTERING ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL. HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, ON ANY KIND OF STREET OR HIGHWAY, WHENEVER THE GEAR BEGINS TO CAUSE BUCKING AFTER CHANGING.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE CAUGHT FIRE, BEHIND THE ENGINE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH THE HELP OF TWO-THREE BYSTANDERS AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT TAKEN. WHILE THERE IS A RECALL FOR A AUTO REAR-LIFT GATE, MY JEEP CHEROKEE DOES NOT HAVE THAT FEATURE AND THE FIRE STARTED AND WAS LOCATED BELOW THE VEHICLE AND RIGHT BEHIND THE ENGINE. *TR

UCONNECT SYSTEM KEY FOB WITH REMOTE START CAPABILITY IS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE ACCIDENTALLY IF THE FOB START BUTTON IS DEPRESSED IN A POCKET. IN THE INSTANCE IN QUESTION, VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN HOME GARAGE, FOB WAS IN POCKET OF OWNER INSIDE THE HOME. OWNER WALKED INTO GARAGE TO FIND VEHICLE WAS RUNNING. REMOTE START FEATURE OF FOB CANNOT BE DISABLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 5-25 MPH. AFTER EASING OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL A THUMPING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT A HUMMING NOISE UNDER THE VEHICLE WAS PRESENT WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. UPDATED 01/25/17*LJ *CN

THE VEHICLE WILL OFTEN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL UNCOMMANDED. THE MANUAL GEAR SHIFT STAYS IN INDICATED DRIVE MODE BUT THE TRANSMISSION OPERATES AS IF IN NEUTRAL. NO ENGAGED POWER OR INDICATION THAT IT IS IN NEUTRAL BUT PLENTY OF RPM JUST NOT ENGAGED. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 55 MPH AND THE CAR JUST SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. NO POWER AVAILABLE SO HAD TO COAST OF THE FREEWAY. ONCE I SHIFTED TO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE IT OPERATED NORMALLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS TIMES, THE PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PROJECT FAR ENOUGH TO SEE AHEAD WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT IN THE DESIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING CAPABILITY IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT GOES OFF WHILE IN OPERATION IF THE VEHICLE TURNS A CORNER AND OFTEN WHEN CHANGING LANES. CAR ALARM GOES OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT CAUSE. HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE. NO ESTIMATE OF TIME CAN BE GIVEN BUT ADVISED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE RENEGADE.

WHILE DRIVING I LOST ACCELERATION CAPABILITY. KEPT HAPPENING ON MY WAY HOME BUT WHEN I HAD TO GO ACROSS A BRIDGE, I WAS SLIPPING BACKWARDS WITH NO ACCELERATION AND HAD TO "FLOOR IT" TO GET CLOSE TO 30-40 MPH. VERY SCARY!! CONTINUE TO HAPPEN ON MY WAY HOME AND EVERY LIGHT I STOPPED AT OR EVEN IF I SLOWED DOWN I HAD NO ACCELERATION UNTIL I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE. COULD NOT EVEN GET IT OVER A SMALL 1-2 FOOT DRIVEWAY INCLINE!! WILL TAKE DOWN TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS USED VEHICLE I PURCHASED LESS THAN 3 WEEKS AGO (10/29) WITH LESS THAN 6,500 MI DRIVEN ON IT!!

I HAD A WARNING ON MY CAR SAYING THAT MY 4WHELL DRIVE WAS NOT WORKING AND THAT I NEEDED TO CALL FOR SERVICE . NOW MY CAR IS IN REPAIR AND THEY ORDERED AN ACTUATOR FOR THE TRANSFER CASE. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING FINE ALL THE TIME WITH ONLY THAT WARNING SO I TOOK IT I

THE UCONNECT UNIT QUIT WORKING THEREFORE NO WAY TO ADJUST RADIO, HEAT, USE, BLUETOOTH, BACKUP CAMERA STAYS ON WHEN DRIVING FRONTWARDS DOWN ROAD, ETC. CANNOT USE REGULAR KNOBS TO ADJUST. HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING ALMOST 2 WEEKS FOR A NEW RADIO TO SEE IF THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. ALSO THUMPING NOISE IN THE RIGHT FRONT IN WHEN MAKING A TURN & GOING OVER A BUMP AT SAME TIME. BUYING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AFTER OWNING IT FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH IN THE LOWER 3 GEARS. THERE IS A BAD JUMPING/LURCHING/BANGING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP.

PERDIDA DE POTENCIA, SALTA LOS CAMBIOS Y PIERDE ACELERACIN. EN LA PANTALLA SE REPORTA REVISIN DE TRASMISIN. ESTE PROBLEMA LO REPORTAN MUCHOS USUARIOS EN INTERNET. TIENE 400 KM Y 2 SEMANAS DE USO. QUED BLOQUEADA Y TODOS LOS TESTIGOS PRENDIDOS. EL CARRO IBA EN UNA AUTOPISTA Y PERDI TODA LA ACELERACIN Y SE PAR, CON EL PELIGRO DE CAUSAR UNA COLISIN. SALTA DE UN CAMBIO A OTRO Y NO ACELERA MAS, PARA SALIR DE "P" SUENA DURSIMO Y EN "D" NO SE MUEVE SOLA.

THE FIRST TIME I DROVE MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AT NIGHT I COULD NOT SEE AS WELL AS WITH MY OTHER CARS ,I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WIYH MY HEADLIGHTS SO I STARTED LOOKING ON LINE AND FOUND LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.I TALKED TO THE SERVICE DEPT.AND THEY TOLD ME THERE ISNT ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM.I THINK JEEP SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMTHING SERIOUS HAPPENS.

THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AS I WAS DRIVING. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND IT READ 154 DEGREES THE CAR THEN SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE. IT ACTED AS THOUGH IT HAD SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL BUT IT STILL SHOWED IN DRIVE. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

ON OCT. 21, 2016, WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT HAD BEEN PARKED BEHIND ME ALSO BACKED UP. OUR TWO VEHICLES COLLIDED - BUMPER-TO-BUMPER, AT A SLOW SPEED (PROBABLY 2-3 MPH). VERY MINOR DAMAGE RESULTED - THE REFLECTOR ON MY REAR BUMPER WAS BROKEN. I AM SURPRISED THAT MY SAFETY WARNING SYSTEM DID NOT ACTIVATE TO ALERT ME TO THE IMPENDING COLLISION. THIS SYSTEM VERY RELIABLY ACTIVATES IF I'M BACKING UP AND CROSS TRAFFIC IS NEAR, OR IF I'M APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARALLEL PARKING. I'M WONDERING IF THIS SYSTEM HAS A "BLIND SPOT" THAT PREVENTED IT FROM WORKING IN THE CASE OF YESTERDAY'S COLLISION.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND MAKE DRIVING AT NIGHT, IN THE RAIN OR SNOW VERY HAZARDOUS. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGREE THEY ARE DIM BUT SAID THAT THEY ARE IN WORKING ORDER. THEY GET THIS COMPLAINT FREQUENTLY. SO NO FIX OR UPGRADE AVAILABLE. NO MY EYES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER MADE STANDARD VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON ALL OF THE 2017 MODELS. NOT A COINCIDENCE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DRIVE ON DARK BACK ROADS IN THE HILLS FREQUENTLY. IT ISN'T JUST A NUISANCE BUT A TRULY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS IMMEDIATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO A GARAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

AUTOMATIC TRANMISSION IS DOESN'T SEEM AS SMOOTH AS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, DRIVING WITH MORE WHIPLASH FROM SHIFTING GEARS. VEHICLE ACCELERATES SLOWLY, BUT GEARS JUMP SHIFT PRETTY QUICKLY PERHAPS TOO SOON BEFORE REACHING PROPER SPEED (MPH). ACCELERATING OVERALL JUST DOESN'T FEEL OR SOUND RIGHT WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THEN ACCELERATING.

THE TRANSMITION SHIFT HARD AND CAUSES WHIP LASH AHD STICKS IN GEAR, SKIPS GEARS,IT HORRIBLE ETC..

SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 58 MPH TRANSMISSION BASICALLY DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SLOWING AT A STOPLIGHT , THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR 5 DAYS, DUE TO BE READY FOR PICK UP TOMORROW AFTER CHANGING TCM. I WAS ONLY OFFERED A RENTAL THIS AFTERNOON-GEE THANKS!AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I AM FINDING MANY SIMILAR STORIES IN WHICH THE REPAIRS DO NOT HOLD AND THE OWNERS HAVE CONTINUED PROBLEMS, THE MOST WORRISOME IS THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGING MID DRIVE, AND MULTIPLE BREAKDOWNS AND SERVICE VISITS . I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND SHOULD THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSE ME TO BE CRASHED INTO AND I SURVIVE, I WILL COME AT CHRYSLER-WHO'S ADVISE THUS FAR WAS THAT I PURCHASE A SERVICE PLAN-AGAIN, GEE THANKS- I WILL COME AT THEM WITH A FURY THAT IS UNMATCHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,900....UPDATED 12/14/16 *BF *TR

I HAD MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE IN TO SERVICE AT ABOUT MILEAGE 1800. THE JEEP DEALER REPORTED TO ME THAT HE UPGRADED MY SOFTWARE TO THE LATEST AND GREATEST AND PRODUCED A SOFTWARE UPGRADE NUMBER WHICH MEANT NOTHING TO ME, BUT THE DEALER ASSURED ME THAT CERTAIN FIXES WERE ADDRESSED, INCLUDING THE IMPORTANT PARKING BREAK IMPROVEMENT, WHERE IF THE CAR IS PLACED INTO PARK, AND THE DRIVER DOOR IS OPENED, THEN THE PARKING-BREAK WOULD/SHOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY ENGAUGED. YESTERDAY, THE FIRST TIME THIS FEATURE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED, IT DID NOT WORK. I AM USUALLY VERY GOOD IN DEPLOYING THE PARKING BREAK, BUT NOT THIS ONE TIME -- I PULLED UP ON THE SWITCH RATHER THAN PUSHED IT DOWN TO DEPLOY THE PARKING BREAK (OR OPPOSITE.) MY POINT IS THAT THE AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT OF THE PARKING BREAK DID NOT OCCUR. FURTHER, IN THE WAINING CALIFORNIA SUN, THE AMBER LED USED BY FIAT/CHRYSLER IS NOT SUFFICIENT AND A REALLY POOR COLOR CHOICE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE LED ON THE PARKING BREAK. WHAT KIND OF STUPID CHOOSES A LED THAT IS PROBABLY THE LEAST VISIBLE TO SEE? THE LED MATCHES THE COLOR OF THE SUN (SORT OF.) GREEN IS MUCH MORE VISIBLE. RED IS BETTER THAN AMBER.

WE HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT THIS VEHICLE MAY HAVE A STEERING WOBBLE WHEN TOWED BEHIND A MOTORHOME. FIAT CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL ADDENDUM TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL THAT A HARNESS WIRING KIT PART NO. 68321424AB IS RECOMMENDED BEFORE TOWING, AND THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS TOWED WITHOUT THIS KIT, FIAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES. ALSO, SERVICE PROCEDURE NOTICE S13 AND SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 08-029-16 REV. A HAVE BEEN ISSUED SAYING THAT WE NEED A MOPAR FLAT TOW WIRING KIT BEFORE TOWING HAVE BEEN ISSUED. EVEN THOUGH OUR JEEP IS UNDER WARRANTY AND FIAT CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED THESE WARNINGS, THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE RECOMMENDED KIT. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH OUR DEALER, THE DISTRICT JEEP SERVICE MANAGER, AND ALSO DIRECTLY TO FIAT CHRYSLER WITH NO RESOLUTION. FIAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR, WHICH WOULD BE $330.00 OUT OF POCKET TO US. WE FEEL, SINCE OUR VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND FIAT CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PROBLEM, THAT FIAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THIS REPAIR THAT THEY RECOMMEND AND REQUIRE, VIA RECALL. FURTHER, THE CURRENT NEW VERSION OF THE OWNER'S MANUAL ISSUES A CAUTION THAT "FAILURE TO USE THE PROPER MOPAR WIRING KIT TO POWER THE STEERING SYSTEM DURING RECREATIONAL FLAT TOWING MAY DAMAGE THE VEHICLE'S STEERING SYSTEM AND/OR OTHER VEHICLE COMPONENTS." NONE OF THIS INFORMATION WAS INDICATED IN THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AT TIME OF PURCHASE.

THE DEALER SOLD THE JEEP PATRIOT 2016 WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT ABOVE THE REAR HATCH NOT WORKING. THE LATER INSPECTION CONDUCTED FOR WHAT WAS THOUGHT TO BE A BAD LIGHT BULB, TURNED INTO A DISCOVERY THAT THE BRAKE FIXTURE WIRING HAD BEEN CUT WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO CHANGE THE HARNESS ($600).

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED ON JUNE 30, 2016. WE WENT ON VACATION JULY 18, 2016 IN OUR NEW VEHICLE. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE THIS CAR WAS JUST 32 DAYS OLD. WE PULLED INTO A LOVE'S TRUCK STOP TO REFUEL THE CAR. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND I HAD BEGUN REFUELING THE CAR. SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. UPON OPENING THE HOOD THERE WAS FIRE UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE COMING UP BOTH SIDES. USING WATER AND A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WE WERE ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALER. CHRYSLER IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS CASES SITED WITH ENGINE FIRES ON JEEP VEHICLES. THEY HAVE REFUSED A DIRECTIVE FROM NHTSB TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. WITH OTHER PEOPLE ALSO REFUELING CARS RIGHT NEXT TO US, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR CATASTROPHIC EVENT. CHRYSLER, JEEP, MY FAMILY AND ALL THOSE AT THE LOVE'S TRUCK STOP WERE VERY LUCKY THAT DAY, AUGUST 2ND, 2016.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ON TO A CITY STREET IN THE MIDDLE OF SCHOOL TRAFFIC. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND MY JEEP BUCKED REALLY HARD. I TRIED TO GET IT GOING BUT IT WOULD NOT GO PASSED 1ST GEAR. I BASICALLY COASTED BACK TO MY HOME AND CALLED JEEP TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER.

BUY A NEW JEPPCHEROKEE IN SILVER SPRING DARCARS MD. WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SMALL HILL, SUDDENLY A NOISE AND THE CAR STOPPED, CALL ASSISTANT ROAD AND SENT A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR TO CRISWELL JEEP SERVICE, THE TECHNICAL S CRISWELL JEEP SERVICE THEY DIAGNOSED TRANSMISSION, INCLUDING THE REEMPLASARIAN FOR A NEW ONE. ALL THIS HAPEND ON JULY 31, 2016 AND TODAY SEPTEMBER 9 2016 THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE CAR THE CHYSLER ALREADY HAVE MY CASE

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW JEEP AND BY 5168 MILES IT USED 3 QUARTS OF SYNTHETIC OIL. WE HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT 3000 MILES AT THE DEALER(AS THEY SUGGESTED). WE INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THE JEEP WAS BURNING OIL NOT LEAKING OIL. WE WERE TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL 7500 MILES AND THEN THEY WOULD DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ON THE JEEP AND AFTER THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT BACK EVERY 500 MILES TO TOP THE OIL OFF IF NECESSARY. SYNTHETIC OIL IS ABOUT $8.00 A QUART. THIS JEEP IS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT. AND WE WOULD OF HAD TO PAY FOR THE OIL TO TOP IT OFF WITH TOO. THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS. OUR DAUGHTER BOUGHT A JEEP WITH THE SAME ENGINE BUT SHE HASN'T HAD A PROBLEM WITH HERS. WHEN WE TOLD THE DEALER THIS THEY SAID THIS PROBLEM EXISTS ONLY WITH SOME OF THE ENGINES. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THESE! WHY ARE THEY EVEN SELLING THESE WHEN THEY KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM. SINCE THE MANUFACTURE WOULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM WE GOT RID OF THE JEEP.

CENTER CONSOLE IN THIS 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE AWD HAS DESIGN FLAWS AS EVERY TIME CAR HITS A BUMP THE CONSOLE OPENS CAUSING A DISTRACTION -- DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE LATCH THAT DID NOT WORK AND THEN THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE CONSOLE AND AS TO DATE THE CONSOLE STILL OPENS.

VEHICLE HAS A FRONT WOBBLE OR SHIMMY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP. ON LOOSE OR SLICK PAVEMENT WOBBLE REPLICATES WHEEL SLIP AND HAS CAUSED ME TO OVER CORRECT MY STEERING AND ACCELERATION ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL IS WRAPPED IN LEATHER. THE LEATHER IS LOOSE NEAR CENTER SPOKES OF STEERING WHEEL. FINGERS HAVE SNAGGED ON THE LOOSE LEATHER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS CAUSING A DANGEROUS CONTROL ISSUE. VEHICLE DELIVERED WITH NON FUNCTIONING BLIND SPOT MONITOR MIRROR ON PASSENGER SIDE AND NORMAL MIRROR ON DRIVER SIDE. ASSUMING THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS EQUIPPED WITH BLIND SPOT ASSISTANCE I WAS NEARLY IN AN INTERSTATE COLLISION DURING THE NIGHT DRIVE HOME IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING DELIVERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND THE ENGINE RPMS REVVED. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED, BUT FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

PURCHASED 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE BRAND NEW FROM SUSANVILLE AUTO CENTER AND THE CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES AND TOWED IN THE LAST TIME. IT HAS NOW FRIED THE COIL AND THE SPARK PLUGS. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR 2 WHEEL SENSORS, THERMOSTATE REPLACEMENT AT 1500 MILE, COOLANT LEAK AT 2500 AND NOW THE COIL AND PLUG ISSUE WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM AUBURN CA OVER 200 MILES FROM HOME CAR STARTED JERKING DASH FLICKERING AND USE OVER 3/4 TANK OF GAS IN 50 MILE AND WOULD ONLY GO 45MPH AT 25K. I DRIVE FOR A LIVING AN CAN NOT AFFORD TO BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE AS A WOMAN. I'VE CONTACT JEEP CORP AND OF COURSE NO RESPONSE. DEALER WONT DO ANYTHING EITHER. NOW TO TRY CA LEMON LAW AND ATTORNEY GENERAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT MOVED AND JERKED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V284000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,267. UPDATED 10/07/16*LJ *TR

MY DAUGHTER [XXX] WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT 2 LANE ROAD WHEN THE JEEP SUDDENLY RAN OFF THE ROAD ON THE RIGHT. SHE MANAGED TO GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD BUT THEN IT FLIPPED OVER ONTO THE DRIVER SIDE AND SLID DOWN THE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 100 FT BEFORE SLIDING OFF THE ROAD AGAIN AND THEN CAME TO REST. SHE DID NOT COLLIDE WITH ANYTHING AND THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE JEEP WAS THE DRIVER SIDE FROM THE SLIDE AND THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED AT THE LOWER BALL JOINT MOUNTING HOLE AND THE STEERING KNUCKLE BROKE IN TWO. I DO NOT KNOW WHICH OCCURRED FIRST. THE TIRE AND WHEEL WERE NOT DAMAGED OTHER THAN GOUGES ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL CAUSED BY IT ROTATING AROUND THE BROKEN STEERING KNUCKLE. CHRYSLER HAD THE JEEP INSPECTED BUT DECLINED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. AS A RESULT, MY DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW SUFFERED A SIGNIFICANT LOSS IN VALUE EVEN THOUGH THE JEEP WAS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD AND HAD ONLY 1,035 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. MY DAUGHTER SUFFERED ONLY A CONCUSSION BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS IF SHE HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. IF THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE STEERING KNUCKLE OR LOWER CONTROL ARM ON THESE JEEPS, THEN THERE WILL BE MORE ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL AUTO MECHANIC FOR 40+ YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A STEERING KNUCKLE OR CONTROL ARM BREAK LIKE THESE DID. MY DAUGHTER HAD JUST LEFT MY HOME 30 MINUTES EARLIER, AFTER HAVING LUNCH WITH HER MOM AND I AND WAS ONLY 1/2 MILE FROM HER HOUSE WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. SHE HAD NO ALCOHOL. MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND ARE BOTH PHYSICIANS AND I AM FILING THIS ON THEIR BEHALF SINCE THEY ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH VEHICLE PARTS TERMINOLOGY AND HAVE VERY LIMITED TIME, WHEREAS I AM RETIRED. THE REGISTERED OWNER IS MY SON-IN-LAW [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DROVE MY NEW JEEP FOR THE FIRST TIME AT NIGHT IN THE COUNTRY. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY INADEQUATE. THE SHOULDER IS NOT PROPERLY ILLUMINATED, CREATING A HAZARD WHEN OBJECTS ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS WELL AS WHEN MAKING A TURN ONTO UNLIGHTED INTERSECTION. WHEN GOING DOWN A SLIGHT GRADE, THE LIGHTS DO NOT GIVE ENOUGH DISTANCE TO REACT IN AN EMERGENCY. DEALER HAS CHECKED ALIGNMENT OF LIGHTS AND DETERMINED THEY ARE TO FACTORY SPECS. HAVE A CASE NUMBERS STARTED WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SUPPORT, BUT GETTING VERY SLOW RESPONSE. PICTURES OF MY NISSAN FRONTIER WITH OEM LIGHTS AFTER 72K MILES VS JEEP WITH 500 MILES.
