2015 Jeep Cherokee complaints

WHEN I DRIVE OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR BEGINS TO STALL AND A NOTIFICATION POPS UP SAYING THAT MY BATTERY IS DYING SO THE CAR STOPS MOVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. ONCE STOPPED THEN A FEW WORDS POP UP ON MY CAR DISPLAY SAYING THAT I HAVE TO MOVE THE SHIFT FROM P EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFT IS ON D. WHEN I TRY TO SHIFT NOTHING HAPPENS THE CAR STILL STAYS THE SAME DOESNT MOVE OR EVEN REV WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL. THEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON IT TAKES A COUPLE SECONDS FOR IT TO FINALLY TURN BACK ON AS IT STRUGGLES AND THEN EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AGAIN EVEN THE BATTERY LEVEL IS BACK UP TO NORMAL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JUST COMPLETELY DEAD PRIOR TO STARTING THE CAR AGAIN. WHATEVER IS HAPPENING TO THE SHIFTER IS DRAINING MY BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE UPON STARTING AND WOULD INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COCHRAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (110 RTE 908, NATRONA HEIGHTS, PA 15065, 724-901-1014), BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURES RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND "SERVICE THE SHIFTER" ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE SHIFTER MODULE WAS GREASED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

COMMAND VIEW DUAL-PANE PANORAMIC SUNROOF. IS EXTREMELY NOISY WHEN DRIVING. WAS REAFFIXED OR REINSTALLED BY DEALERSHIP AND NOW NOISIER THAN BEFORE. FAULTY AIR BAG WAS REPLACED AT SAME TIME AS HORN WAS NOT WORKING ALSO ??

AFTER THE TRANSMISSION IS TOTALLY WARMED UP, TAKING OFF FROM A STOP MAY CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP AND THEN JUMP INTO GEAR WITH A JERK. THIS IS MORE PREVALENT WHEN STARTING UPHILL OR DOWNHILL. DEALER SAYS EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT MY WIFE ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF A CAR BECAUSE OF IT.

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO THRUST FORWARD WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED IT WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. *JS

STOP/START NOT AVAILABLE SERVICE SOFT/START SYSTEM THE MESSAGE HAS BEEN RANDOMLY APPEARING WHEN DIVING.

SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR COMES UP AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. I HAVE HAD 3 TRANSMISSION FIXES AND THE SHIFTER WORKED ON AND NOW THIS KEEPS HAPPENING!

AFTER I TURN KEY OFF THE ENGINE REFUSES TO START BACK UP WHEN I TURN THE KEY ON. IT HAS DIED TWICE LIKE THIS AT THE DRIVE UP WINDOW OF A RESTAURANT.

WITHOUT WARNING ALL THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS SHUT OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE. BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAYS AT DUSK. ( 5:30 PM, MARCH 7, 2018 ON ILLINOIS I-72 AND 8:15 PM, MAY 31, 2018 ON MISSOURI HIGHWAY 6.) THE DASH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AFTER 15 - 20 MINUTES AND/OR A RESTART OF THE AUTO. IT WAS TERRIFYING TO EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF DASH LIGHTS AT DUSK AND TRAVELLING AT ROAD SPEED. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN TO ME. I PLAN TO CONTACT MY JEEP DEALERSHIP.

WENT TO START CAR WOULDN'T START OR TURN OVER. RECEIVED JUMP FROM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED 20 MIN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST AUTO ZONE (2 MILES). ONCE I STARTED DRIVING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND AS SOON AS I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AT A VERY BUSY 3 LANE INTERSECTION I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND MY CAR SHUT OFF & WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. AT THIS POINT, MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO SIT WITHOUT ANY POWER, THEREFORE NO HAZARD LIGHTS, AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO HIT ME AS I WAS UNABLE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE DUE TO HIGH RISK OF BEING HIT BY A CAR. DURING THE TERRIFYING TIME OF WAITING EVENTUALLY I DID GET HIT. WHICH CAUSED A THREE CAR ACCIDENT & PILE-UP ON THIS VERY BUSY ROAD. I WAS THE FRONT VEHICLE AND MY JEEP IS PROBABLY TOTALED AND I WILL BE GOING TO DOCTOR TOMORROW, THE MIDDLE VEHICLE RECEIVED THE MOST DAMAGE & THE PASSENGERS WERE HURT & WENT TO HOSPITAL, THE 3RD VEHICLE (TRUCK) WAS VERY DAMAGED BUT THE DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED. I THEN CALLED 911 & WE FILLED OUT A POLICE REPORT & MY CAR WAS TOWED & THE POLICE DROVE ME HOME LIKE A CRIMINAL. THIS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY MY JEEP'S ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. I DO NOT CURRENTLY SEE A RECALL FOR ANYTHING BY VIN OR BY MAKE/MODEL. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS IMMEDIATELY AS I DO NOT WANT OTHERS TO BE EFFECTED AS I WAS AT THE FAULT OF JEEP. *DT*JB

JEEP BEING TOWED PER RECREATIONAL 4 DOWN INSTRUCTIONS FRONT WHEELS TURN INWARD CREATING SEVERE VIBRATION OF MOTOR HOME TOW VEHICLE. JEEP STEERING ASSIST MODIFIED BY DEALER. MONTHS LATER UPON INVESTIGATION FOR CAUSE OF TOW BAR HOOKUP & RELEASE DISCOVERED BROKEN JEEP FRAME PLUS OTHER DAMAGES. HAD DAMAGES REPAIRED @ AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER BODY SHOP. MANUFACTURER DECLINED TO REIMBURSE FOR REPAIR. DEALER ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE OR TOW 4 DOWN DAMAGED JEEP.

SINCE VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED IN DEC 2014, THE AUTOSTART FEATURE OCCASIONALLY COMPLETELY STALLS VEHICLE WHEN STOPPED AT SIGN, AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOPPED IN HEAVY TRANSIT AND WILL NOT TURN BACK ON TO CONTINUE TRIP. I HAVE TO TURN OFF KEY REMOVE KEY AND EXIT VEHICLE TO RESET. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN RUN OVER, IMPACTED BY OTHER ONCOMING VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY OR BY VEHICLES TRYING TO GET AROUND ME AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I HAVE REPORTED IT SEVERAL TIMES TO DEALER WHITTEN BROS IN RICHMOND VA AND ASHLAND VA BUT HAVE BEEN IGNORED AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DOCUMENT OCCURRENCES. AND DISMISSED MY ALLEGATIONS. I HAVE HAD OVER 12 INCIDENTS IN THE LAST 3 YEARS IN 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 AND 2018, IN THE CITY, SUBURBS AND HIGHWAYS. MY MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE DATE IS POSTED BELOW *JS UPDATED 9/21/18*JB

AFTER A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, I PROCEEDED TO EXIT A PARKING LOT AT 10 MPH, PRESSED GENTLY ON GAS PEDAL AND HEARD A VERY LOUD POP. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND WAS EXTREMELY LOUD. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMS MY MAINTENANCE, AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE EXHAUST FLEX PIPE. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 60000 MILES ON IT.

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4 - WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AT A STOP LIGHT/SIGN, IT ACTS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS PRIOR TO TAKING OFF. IT WILL OFTEN JERK HARD WHEN IT DOES MOVE AS IF IT IS DROPPING INTO GEAR. OFTEN TIMES THE JERK IS HARD ENOUGH THAT IT WILL THROW ME BACK IN THE SEAT AND MAKES A HORRID NOISE. THE JERK CAN HAPPEN AFTER STOPPING OR RANDOMLY AUTO SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I'VE KEPT A DIARY OF LOGISTICS (HILL, FLAT SURFACE, WINTER, SUMMER, RAIN, DRY, SLOW DRIVING, FAST DRIVING, ETC...) AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN IT'S GOING TO "ACT UP". SOMEONE MENTIONED AN O2 SENSOR? I'VE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, IT'S NORMAL FOR THIS TO HAPPEN (BOTH THE FEELING OF BEING IN NEUTRAL WHEN TAKING OFF AND THE HARD JERKING WHEN SHIFTING). I WORRY MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT OF MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS!

MY CAR KEEPS DISENGAGING WHEN I'M DRIVING. IT FEELS LIKE IT GOES INTO NEUTRAL. CAR READ BUT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THERE IS ANY CONNECTION TO MAKE IT GO. IT ALSO JUMPS OR POPS WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. JEEP HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AND SAID THERE AREN'T ANY ERROR CODES SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. IT'S SCARY WHEN THE CAR LEAVES DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS WHEN IN MOTION AND THE REVERSE TO DRIVE WHEN IS STARTING UP AND WHEN I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT AND NEED TO TURN AROUND. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MARCH 2018. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO SCAP JEEP TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM

JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK, 2015. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM, SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE 8/10/15. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING. SOMETIMES HIGHWAY SOMETIMES COUNTY ROAD. WHEN JEEP SHIFTS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT "JERK" THAT CAN BE FELT. SIMILAR TO WHIPLASH. NO SPECIFIC TIME OR PLACE THAT IT HAPPENS. JUST AT RANDOM TIMES. HAVE HAD THIS IN TO DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. ONE TIME THEY DID SOFTWARE UPDATE. DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. THE NEXT TWO VISITS THE TECHNICIAN SAID THEY DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS DURING TEST DRIVE. IT SEEMS TO BE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THAT IS MAIN PROBLEM--BUT THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO. WHEN ON AM, IT SOUNDS AS IF THERE IS SOMEONE INSIDE THE RADIO HAMMERING WITH A HAMMER. AGAIN, DEALER DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING.

I NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST JEEP. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2015 CHEROKEE IS AWFUL AND A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE JERKS AROUND SO MUCH WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, I'M CONCERNED IT'S EVENTUALLY GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IN TRAFFIC IT PUNCHES FORWARD AND STOPS ABRUPTLY BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS. IT'S AWFUL THAT I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE I'M ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE. ANYTIME I HAVE A PASSENGER THEY COMMENT ON HOW THE CAR JERKS AND UNPLEASANT IT IS TO RIDE IN. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME GETTING A LEMON AND SOMETHING I HAVE TO DEAL WITH BUT I WENT ONLINE TODAY AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER 2015 CHEROKEE LATITUDE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO MANY ACCIDENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED, LUNGED FORWARD, AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING TEMPORARILY ON ONE OCCASION. RUSSELL WESTBROOK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA WAS NOTIFIED, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 340-46249. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

'SERVICE SHIFTER' OCCURRED REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFTER LIGHT UP AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS COME ON CHECK ENGINE BLINKS THEN STAYS ON. HAS HAD SHIFTER REPLACED ONCE, NOW IN 4 MONTHS TIME IT DID THE SAME THING. BEGINS TO SHIFT HARD AND JERKS SOME WHILE DRIVING MAKING STEERING WHEEL MOVE RAPIDLY FOR A SPLIT SECOND ALL WHILE GOING DOWN ROAD DOING 25-30 MPH

JEEP CHEROKEE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE CAR HAS HAD ACCELERATION ISSUES FROM THE VERY START. BUT RECENTLY AT ONLY 38K MILES THE TRANSMISSION TOTALLY FAILED ON ME AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS FAILURE WAS VERY DANGEROUS BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR A LONG WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO BE FINE. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF, BUT I STILL PLAN ON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AFTER READING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND TENDS TO REOCCUR. MY WIFE IS NOW SCARED TO USE THIS CAR. HOW CAN A COMPANY GET AWAY WITH CHEATING CUSTOMERS THIS WAY?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SWITCHING GEARS VERY HARD AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (NORTHWEST CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 19616 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED. THE FAILURE RECURRED A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES, AND EACH TIME THE DEALER GAVE THE SAME REPLY. THE CONTACT FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN) AND STATED THAT THE SYMPTOMS WERE IDENTICAL, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THEY COULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY DAUGHTER WRECKED ON 4/11 AND HER JEEP ROLLED TWICE IN WHICH THE FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE ROOF SMASHED INTO HER HEAD REST RESULTING IN A CONCUSSION, FRACTURED HIP, AND TORN HAMSTRING. SHE WAS LIFELIGHTED. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION AND THEY BELIEVED THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OPERATED PROPERLY. THE WRECK REPORT AND COPY OF JEEP'S REPORT IS INCLUDED.

PER TSB 08-029-16 FLAT TOWING THIS VEHICLE JEEP INSTALLED A WIRING KIT TO STOP A SEVERE WOBBLE WHILE TOWING. KIT WAS INSTALLED JULY 25 2016. WHILE TOWING THE JEEP DURING A TRIP ON APRIL 28, 2018 ON I255 E BYPASS AROUND SAINT LOUIS AT APPROX. 4:40 PM AT APPROX. 60 MPH I HAD THE SEVERE DEATH WOBBLE OCCUR. HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WHILE DECELERATING AND TRYING TO STOP (WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE) I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK. ON APRIL 29, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30 PM WHILE EXITING I39 ONTO I39/90 IN WISCONSIN THE WOBBLE OCCURRED AGAIN AT APPROX. 50 MPH. AGAIN, THE WIRING FIX WAS INSTALLED AND I HAD IT CORRECTLY TURNED ON. THIS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND I REFUSE TO TOW IT 1 FOOT UNTIL JEEP STEPS UP TO THE PLACE AND DOES THE RIGHT THING. IN BOTH INSTANCES, TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND BRAKING QUICKLY TO STOP THE WOBBLE COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND SOMETIMES SKIPS GEARS. IT WILL SHIFT VERY LATE AND DO A JOLT AND IT FEELS LIKES I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR, GIVES A SLIGHT WHIPLASH FEELING TO THE PASSENGERS. SOMETIMES WHEN I GO FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE BACK WHEELS LOCK UP AND THE BACK HALF OF THE CAR LOWERS TO THE GROUND WHILE THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE RISES. THE VEHICLE ALSO SOMETIMES ACCELERATES ON ITS' OWN WHEN I DON'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS. I CAN BE DRIVING AT ANY POINT AROUND 20-30MPH AND MY RPMS WILL JUMP TO 3000+ AND THE ENGINE MAKES LOUD NOISES LIKE IT IS BEING OVERWORKED TO GO 20 MPH AND IT WILL STAY LIKE THAT FOR A GOOD 4-8 SECONDS. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE DRASTICALLY DECREASED THE MPG MY CAR GETS. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE "START/STOP" FEATURE ALSO HAS MANY PROBLEMS. IF I FORGET TO TURN IT OFF I CAN BE AT A RED LIGHT AND ONCE IT TURNS GREEN I LET GO OF THE BRAKE AND GO TO HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF STARTING BACK UP, TAKES ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1-3 SECONDS TO STARTUP. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANYMORE. IT WAS FINE UP UNTIL ABOUT 30,000 MILES, BUT IT HAS GONE DOWN HILL SINCE THEN. I AM AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES RIGHT NOW.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM AUTO NATION CHRYSLER JEEP & DODGE IN ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA ON APRIL 19, 2015, TO TOW FOUR WHEELS DOWN BEHIND OUR MOTORHOME. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS READY TO TOW WITH A TOUCH OF A BUTTON. ON TWO OCCASIONS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A SEVERE FRONT WHEEL WOBBLE WHILE TOWING THE VEHICLE, LUCKILY AT SLOW SPEEDS DOWN THE ROAD. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT WE NOW HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL WIRING HARNESS INSTALLED ON OUR VEHICLE TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND IT IS AT OUR COST. THE COST OF THIS WIRING HARNESS AND INSTALLATION IS OVER $700.00. WE HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THEY HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER/JEEP FOR AN ANSWER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR SIX WEEKS NOW, WITH STILL NO ANSWER. WE ARE NOW COMING UP ON OUR TRAVELING TIME AND CAN NOT TOW OUR CAR AND GO ON ANY TRIPS DUE TO THE LIABILITY OF THIS SITUATION. WE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE HAVING KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM NOW WITH THIS VEHICLE.PLEASE HELP US GET THIS RESOLVED

"SERVICE SHIFTER" ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS AND ALL SHIFTER LIGHTS TURN RED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THE SECOND TIME, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE APPEARED. A VALVE THAT WAS STUCK WAS REPLACED 3 MONTHS AGO, NOW THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE IS BACK.

AUTOMATIC, SHIFT MOVING TO STANDARD OR NEUTRAL

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND OFTEN VIOLENTLY. WILL SHIFT HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE A 2/3 EMPTY BOTTLE OF DRINK TO HAVE LIQUID FLY OUT OF THE BOTTLE IN THE CUPHOLDERS TO HOLD THE BOTTLE STATIONARY. SHIFTING CAN OCCUR AT VARIABLE SPEEDS BETWEEN 20-50 POSSIBLY HIGHER SOMETIMES. WE HAVE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE WHERE THEY SAY A 2015 TRAILHAWK VEHICLE HAS THE NEED OF AN "UPDATE" TO CONTROL SHIFTING, BUT REFUSE TO LISTEN TO THE VEHICLE IS JUST SHIFTING TO HARD. IT HAS SHIFTED SO HARD THAT IT HAS THROWN US FOR WHILE DRIVING, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS HITTING UNDER THE CAR. THIS IS NOT THE NEED OF AN UPDATE, EVEN IF THE DEALER AND "JEEP" SAY THIS IS A THING, AND THAT WE ARE NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RELEASE THIS UPDATE TO "FIX" THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AT VARIABLE TEMPERATURES TOO, BUT SOMEHOW THE DEALER CAN NEVER FEEL THE HARD SHIFT WHEN THEY TAKE IT OUT. THE HARD SHIFTS HAPPEN ON BOTH HIGHWAYS AND NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS, MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE FELT THIS SHIFT NOT JUST ONE PERSON.

HATCH DOOR RANDOMLY FAILS TO LATCH WHEN CLOSING. RECYCLE OF START/LOCK/PARK/ENGAGE DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. CAN MANUALLY CLOSE HATCH BUT WILL NOT LOCK/ENGAGE. HATCH IS ELECTRIC, POCKET REMOTE, BUTTON ON DOOR AND BUTTON ON DASH WILL NOT RECYCLE THE LOCK TO ENGAGE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT PARKING LOT, OCCURRED AFTER LOADING AND THEN TRYING TO CLOSE DOOR WITH REMOTE.

WITH OR WITH THE "AUTO-START" FEATURE TURNED ON, WHEN TURNING FROM A STOP OR YIELD (SUCH AS TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC), PRESSING ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL CAUSES A PAUSE LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT ENGAGING THEN TAKES OFF LIKE YOU SLAMMED ON THE GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO AND TAKING IT IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BRINGS NOTHING BUT MORE FRUSTRATION. THIS IS DONE ON HOT OR COLD ENGINES, NO MATTER THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CONCERNS THAT THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS DARKEN 70% OF WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 18 AND 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A CHIMING SOUND AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WITHIN THREE SECONDS, THE "SHIFT TO PARK DESIGNATED GEAR" WARNING INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (CHRYSLER, DODGE, AND FORD FIAT OF BAY RIDGE, 8635 18TH AVENUE, BROOKLYN, NY 11209). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND NOTIFY THE CONTACT OF THE RESULTS. THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO NOTIFY THEM AFTER THE DEALER COMPLETED THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,005.

CAR IS GOING INTO NUETRAL ON ITS OWN SAME AS IN THE S55 RECALL BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL PER CHRYSLER. CAR WILL HAVE NOTICE POP UP ON DASH SAYING PUT CAR INTO PARK THEN SWITCH INTO GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT A STOP LIGHT I COULD NOT GET CAR IN GEAR. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO START AGAIN. IT ALSO HAPPENED AFTER FIRST STARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE. I HAD TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART TO GET IT TO GET BACK INTO GEAR. BOTH TIMES CAR WAS AT A STOP.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY A PICKUP PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HIT HER HEAD ON. I WAS AT AROUND 40-50 MPH WHEN MY JEEP IMPACTED. THE IMPACT WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO RUPTURE THE RADIATOR AND THE FRONT BRAKES BLEW OUT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE REPORTED THE NO DEPLOY TO JEEP.

THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACED AT 55,000 MILES. THERMOSTAT PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY REPORTED BUT YET NO RECALL. SOME DEALERSHIPS HAVE A 2 MONTH WAIT TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF SUCH A HIGH DEMAND. TRANSMISSION WARNING CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. PULLED OVER AND TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON. CAR SEEMED FINE UNTIL I TOOK IT OVER 55MPH AND IT DID THE SAME THING. HAD TO PULL OVER AGAIN AND TURN IT OFF AND ON. CAR ALMOST STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. TOOK IT THE DEALERSHIP WHO UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. CAR ALREADY NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY ON THE RIDE HOME.

DELAYED SHIFTING ON ACCELERATION DANGEROUS!!! WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU DO YOUR F'N JOBS? HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/JEEP/CHEROKEE/2015/TRANSMISSION/DELAYED_SHIFTING_DURING_ACCELERATION.SHTML

MY CAR HAS EXACTLY 50,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IMPECCABLY TO START. ON MARCH 30TH AFTER IT HAD RAINED THE PREVIOUS DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON THE BONNET CARRE SPILLWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH MY LIFT GATE SEEMED TO UNLATCH AND END RESULT MY BACKPACK CONTAINING MY LAPTOP HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF TEXTBOOKS AND MY APPLE IPAD FLEW OUT. WHEN I PULLED OVER THE LIFT GATE REFUSED TO HATCH AS WELL AS THE BUTTON IN THE CAR AND ON THE FOB TO CLOSE THE TRUNK WOULD NOT WORK. NOT ONLY HAVE I LOST AT LEAST $850 WORTH OF MY ELECTRONICS AND TEXTBOOKS I AM LEFT WITH THE RISK THAT ANYONE CAN GET IN MY CAR VIA THE LIFT GATE THAT WILL NOT CLOSE AND POTENTIALLY STEAL MY CAR. ON APRIL 2ND 2018 AFTER LEAVING WORK FROM THE HOSPITAL I WAS DRIVING ON REGULAR TRAFFIC ROADS BETWEEN 35-55 MILES PER HOUR AND MY JEEP WAS SHIFTING INTO NEAUTRAL SLOWING DOWN AND THE RPM GAUGE WAS ACCELERATING TO 4-5 FOR ONLY 35 MILES PER HOUR. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL IN WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY ANYONE AND MY VIN WAS INELIGIBLE BUT IF IT WAS I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR AND PAY FOR THE EXPENSE OF A RENTAL CAR. I AM A WIDOWED MOTHER AND A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO JEEP AS THIS IS MY THIRD JEEP AND I AM STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT IS RIDDLED WITH CONSTANT RECALLS THAT IS UNSAFE FOR MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 15 MONTH CHILD AND I AM ON A SINGLE INCOME AND UNABLE TO PAY FOR REPAIR EXPENSES OR A RENTAL CAR AND I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO MISS WORK OR SCHOOL. CAN YOU INFORM ME WHY MY VIN IS NOT ASSO

BRAKES MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND NOBODY CAN DUPLICATE IT.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH WHAT I ASSUME IS THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BUCKS AND MAKES LOTS OF NOISE. IT SOUNDS LIKE GEARS ARE GRINDING AND IT IS FIGHTING TO GET TRACTION. ALSO, WHEN BACK UP MY DRIVEWAY IT FEELS LIKE THE REAR WHEELS ARE SLIPPING AND FIGHT TO GET TRACTION AS WELL. IT STARTED TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A FLAT SURFACE AT LIKE 30 MPH AS WELL. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS MADE IT LESS FREQUENT. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE TAKEN VIDEOS OF THE PROBLEM OCCURING.

THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION SKIPS GEARS AND JERKS WHEN DRIVING IN CITY STREETS AND THE FREEWAY. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE WILL EITHER ACCELERATE WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SLOWING DOWN OR SLOW DOWN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. ON A FEW OCCASIONS IN CITY STREETS IT HAS INCREASED IN SPEED WHILE CLOSE TO STOPPING AT ABOUT 2 TO 3 MILES PER HOUR AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM GLAD I WAS QUICK ENOUGH AND HAD MORE THAN THE REQUIRED SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I ALSO HAD OTHER INSTANCES WHEN I AM ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, AT A SLOW SPEED AND IT HAS SLIPPED GEARS AND ACCELERATED VERY QUICKLY. I CAN'T FEEL THE JERK AND THEN THE QUICK JUMP IN SPEED. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT IF IT KEEPS JUMPING GEARS WHEN IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, IT STARTED TO ROLL AWAY UNEXPECTEDLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE THE FAILURE. AN ONLOOKER JUMPED INTO THE VEHICLE TO STOP IT FROM MOVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DARCARS ORANGE PARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (7233 BLANDING BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32244) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS THE 2-SPEED TRANSFER UNIT, AND WAS SOLD AS FLAT TOWABLE, AND MANUAL SO STATES THAT FACT. THE MANUFACTURER MADE THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM ELECTRIC RATHER THAN MECHANICAL. IN 2017 AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CHEROKEE NOT TRACKING WHILE BEING TOWED BEHIND THE MOTORHOME AND CAUSING A SEVERE LEFT TO RIGHT WOBBLE BEHIND THE MOTORHOME, JEEP ISSUED A REVISION TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL (S-13). IT STATES THAT A FLAT-TOW WIRING KIT SHOULD BE INSTALLED, BUT JEEP WANTS THE PART AND LABOR TO INSTALL THIS KIT TO BE PAID BY THE JEEP OWNER, NOT BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED UNDER A RECALL. ON A STRAIGHT ROAD THIS WOBBLE HAPPENED TWICE TO ME AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF MY MOTORHOME, NOT TO MENTION DAMAGE TO MY JEEP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING TOWED AT 50 MPH BY AN RV, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND MADE THE RV DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE FRACTURED THE TOW HITCH AND STRUCK THE REAR OF THE RV. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FEDDERLY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, INC (2500 E MAIN ST, REEDSBURG, WI 53959), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CASE NUMBER: 33489958 WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,500.

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR CLUSTER SHOWED ME "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL LIGHTS ARE TURN ON IN TRANSMITION PRND. I WENT SERVICE CENTER THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY THAT SIGNAL COMES ON. I'M VERY CONCERN ABIUT THAT BECAUSE THAT CAUSE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OR STOP ENGINE DURING DRIVING. IT HAPPENED FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE.

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY I 94 AT 70MPH 5PM JAN 10TH, 2018, CAME INTO CONTACT WITH VEHICLE WHILE MERGING INTO CENTER LANE. HIS CAR FORCES MINE INTO A SPIN, I CRASHED HEAD ON INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIER/WALL SEPARATING THE EAST AND WEST BOUND LANES. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE DEPLOYED. NEITHER THE DRIVER, PASSENGER OR SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I SURVIVED BUT HAD TWO BREAKS IN THE STERNAL CHEST PLATE, A FRACTURED RIGHT RIB AND BROKEN LEFT WRIST REQUIRING SURGERY RESULTING IN SCREWS AND PLATES INSTALLED. MEDICAL BILLS OVER $80K I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT THE ENTIRE TIME. THAT DAY THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND APPROX 40-45 DEGREES. THROUGH THE DEALER, I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURERS CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH DIRECTED ME TO THEIR FORENSIC TEAM SO THEY COULD OBTAIN THE BLACK BOX IN THE VEHICLE AND ACCESS TO THE CAR. I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS REGARDING NOT ONLY MY SAFETY BUT OTHERS THAT OWN THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. I AM 73 YEARS OLD AND EVERYONE FROM THE AMBULANCE DRIVER TO THE STATE TROOPER THAT WAS ON THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT SAID THAT I HAVE A LAWSUIT HERE. I DO NOT WANT TO FILE SUIT. I DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR THE INCLINATION TO GO THAT DIRECTION BUT I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER OWES ME AND THE OTHER CUSTOMERS SOMETHING SHOULD THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN MY POSITION. THE MANUFACTURERS REPRESENTATIVE WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL AND I FEEL THAT I AM GETTING THE BRUSH OFF AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. I AM HESITANT TO BE A COMPLAINER. I HOPE THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHWEST DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER (10600 SW CANYON RD, BEAVERTON, OR 97005) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LITHIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF PORTLAND (633 NE 12TH AVE, PORTLAND, OR 97232) WHERE A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS DETECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP WITH 12,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3X SO FAR FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. TRANSMISSION CLUNKING, LURCHING, WONT DOWN SHIFT AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN IN TRAFFIC BELOW 20MPH SOME TIMES IT REVS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DOESN'T MOVE AND THEN THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. SOMETIMES IT JUST HAS NO ACCELERATION LIKE ITS STUCK A FEW GEARS TOO HIGH. THE SHIFT GOING INTO 5TH GEAR SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I GOT REARENED IT SHIFTS SO HARD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE JERKS BACK AND FOURTH AND HAS A METALLIC BANG GOING INTO 5TH. THE 5TH GEAR HARD SHIFT IS INTERMITTENT. THE BOGGING, LURCHING AND REFUSAL TO DOWN SHIFT AT SLOWER SPEEDS IS CONSTANT. DEALER HAS YET TO BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING BUT COMPUTER UPDATES. THEY SAY ITS "NORMAL". IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT ITS GOING TO DO WHEN YOU TRY AND ACCELERATE. I CAN'T COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO CROSS IN BETWEEN TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK REFUSES TO GO OR JUST MOVES AT A TURTLE SPEED.ONCE I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR HARD ENOUGH IT WILL DOWN SHIFT HARD ENOUGH TO BREAK THE TIRES LOOSE AND PEEL OUT WHEN IT LURCHES AHEAD. IT IS VERY TROUBLING AND I DON'T WANT TO LET ANYONE BESIDES MYSELF DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DONT WANT THEM TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I CAN ALSO ASSUME THAT ALL OF THESE HARD SHIFTS ARE CAUSING A LOT OF PREMATURE WEAR ON MY DRIVE TRAIN. ITS LIKE PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, REVVING IT UP AND THEN SLAMMING IT INTO GEAR. IT IS A DAILY OCCURENCE.
