2015 Jeep Cherokee complaints

I've done searches with Carfax and there's 4 or more recalls on my Jeep but it's not wanting to do anything now it won't even start I just drove it and the night before and I believe there's an electrical problem a transmission problem and I don't know what else and yes the car Financial Place knows about it and the place where I bought it from

Parking brake automatically engaged and left me stranded. I had it towed to the dealer and they found water in the spare tire compartment dealer . The repair tech said that water had damaged the parking brake module as well as others . I do not live in any area that has been flooded

Driving on highway and SVC 4WD indicator appeared then an alert message on dash saying sensor overheated and 4WD is no longer available. Had a loss of acceleration, poor shifting, and hard grinding noise coming from either the ptu or transmission.

Since very beginning, this vehicle has issue with shifting gears. In the middle of the road, it abruptly shifts the gears with scary noise and whole car vibrates like someone crashes you. I was in the dealer twice for this problem and there was a recall as well. But it didn't fix the issue.

Right rear seat airbag deployed alone while driving. Airbag signal came on.

Jeep has never been in accident properly and regularly maintained when driving on freeway all of the sudden out of nowhere service airbag system and service park brake pop up I was fearful for my life when getting home not knowing if airbags will work heaven forbid I get in car accident or car may roll over onto street because park brake is not working I went to dealership and asked what's wrong with viechole did manufacturer put in faulty airbags or installed broken brake they refused to tell me what the issue is unless I pay them over $500 just to know what's wrong with car I told them car was never in accident properly maintenanced the problem has to be with manufacturer they said unless I pay $500 they will not tell me what's wrong with the jeep please investigate jeep for failed car parts.

Vehicle alerts to ‘service parking brake’ and engages parking parking brake without warning. Shifter has gotten stuck in N, unable to shift out for some time. Shifting in secondary incident resulted in a clunking when shifted to Drive as well as vehicle deceleration after driving for one minute. Safety is affected for all as the vehicle coasts to a stop in traffic. Towing to repair shop required twice, where no issue was found by service technicians either time.

I had the "Service 4WD" light come on in my vehicle. Being concerned, I started researching what it could be. While looking into the issues I found that a lot of Jeep customers (all different models) are having PTU failures. Of course the diagnosis came back that I needed to replace the PTU. My concern is that from what I have read, the vehicle could just stop going into gear. How is it that other vehicles of the year and model are covered but mine is not. I've worked in the automotive industry for years and I understand production dates and all that, but if they are having so many issues why are any vehicle not covered? It seems to me that they know there is a major problem and not addressing it across the board. I have contacted Jeep and was explained all the things that are no longer covered on my vehicle, but nothing about the issue I am having, other than "Uh Yeah, that's not covered". It has soured my opinion of owning a Jeep. This is my 2nd Jeep, I also have an 06 Commander, which I am having to replace the engine in. At this point I think maybe I should just forget owning any Jeep vehicles because they don't stand behind their vehicles.

PTU transfer case issues. Hard drop/ jolt while driving causing issues. Saw other recalls for same issues for other Jeep cherokees of same year.

Service Shifter Error comes on and off consistently -- dealer said that this error is known and common and has been going on for many many years. There is no "fix" to the problem and replacing the entire console is the only way to try to remediate the problem but this often does not work. It is incredibly expensive to concerning.

I have had this shifter on my car changed and serviced 4 times and I still have an issue. The car keeps saying service shifter everytime I reverse. Barking brake module needed to be replaced. Car roof was leaking causing major damage to my car. I have all paperwork of services. Jeep tells me that because my car is not under warranty they can not assist me. I spent about 5k on fixing this car alone not including payments. I took this car to who jeep referred I also took it to the dealership I brought it from and same issue until this day. I gave up!!!!

The contact owned a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while parked, the vehicle suddenly jumped into gear crashing into the rear of the vehicle in front. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not diagnosed. The contact stated shortly after the crash while driving at approximately 70 MPH, the instrument panel flashed and the vehicle stalled.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

The Electronic Parking Brake has malfunctioned because water has leaked into the liftgate. Jeep is replacing the power liftgate module because if water leaks into the car, this could cause a fire if the water reaches the module. Water is in my car and has destroyed the e-brake system causing it to go on and off unexpectedly and now I can't drive the car. According to an ODI Resume, "On May 11, 2016, the manufacturer released a Technical Service Bulleting (ODI #10191415, FCA #08-060-16) that instructs dealers on replacing the EPB module and inspecting the electrical connector for corrosion if a customer describes having the EPB not releasing." Jeep is willing to replace the Power Liftgate Module - Recall 49A - but not the EPB for the exact same reason. The dealer agrees with my assessment, but without Chrysler willing to cover the cost, they are not able to replace the EPB system for free and want to charge me $1000. Several lights are going off on the dashboard - Service Park Brake, the Brake light and now the Stop/Start function is disabled.

Liftgate sometimes works and sometimes does not, having to "reset" defective liftgate by pulling fuse and disconnecting battery and let set overnight

Transfer case recall. 2015 not included. Vehicle has 65,000 miles, looks new, no trailer hitch. First detected [XXX]. Still no part available, Jeep US not helpful, apparently "expedited " part three times. Clearly a manufacturer defect on all vehicles affected and should be covered. Jeep should pay for the part at this point and provide a vehicle while I am waiting, over two months since I was told to replace the part still no results. Car cannot be driven. Brakes can fail with this malfunctioning transfer case. Goss Dodge South Burlington VT has been very good it is out of their hands waiting for the part as well. Clearly it is a huge issue on these vehicles if the part is still not available. No warning signs, just got a "noise" in the front end.

I went to muffler man hearing a noise in the undercarriage and they found it to be in the powertrain area when I'm driving it, it sounds like the wheel spinning is missing skipping some of the teeth. When it happened I was in a left turn lane waiting to turn when I finally turned it sounded kinda like a pop noise then it started making grinding noise.

We were informed by our dealership, Kaiser Bros in Muncy PA (Jeff Lee; Service Advisor) that our power transfer unit is faulty in our 2015 Jeep Latitude which doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it. There are metal flakes in the power transfer units fluid, this could cause an accident as I could lose all power while driving. I initially reached out to Chrysler Jeep on 2/28/23 and was told that there was an extended warranty on this part JX1 until 2030 and to take it to the dealership to be fixed. The person at Chrysler did not ask for a code of any sort, however now Chrysler is saying that because my code C14A7-97 does not align with the codes under this "warranty" they will not cover this to be replaced. The codes that are under this warranty are P1720-00 and P215C-00. Chrysler is aware that this part is faulty and should be held responsible for fixing this as it could be deadly. Schenice, at Chrysler Jeep informed today there was a "warranty" for this specific code but that it expired on January 22nd 2023, we were never made aware of this or it would have been fixed as I have children I drive around with. Something that could be deadly should never have an expiration date on the warranty. We take our vehicle to Kaiser Bros. for all repairs and maintenance and this was never once brought to our attention.

We own and lease mostly Chrysler /Jeep products in our family. We currently have a Wrangler, Pacifica, Jeep Cherokee. Our 2015 Jeep Cherokee has shut down completely while driving 4 times. The first time this happened was a year ago and we thought it was a fluke. Recently it has happened 3 times so there is clearly an issue with this 2015 Jeep Cherokee and it is unsafe to drive until this matter is completely fixed or the car is replaced. We are fortunate that an accident did not occur during any of these times however the last incident came very close. Very frightening !! The vehicle is currently at Rockland Jeep Dealer and I am attaching the estimate we received which is over 5,000.00. We have replaced the battery, changed the oil and have been without this vehicle for almost 2 months. We are hoping that Chrysler will pick up this expense since there were many recalls regarding this matter.

The contact that stated that his son saw no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that his son drove the vehicle directly to an independent mechanic.

The contact stated that he contacted and informed the manufacturer of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20E037000 (Power Train). The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

Jeep has failed to correct the recall from May 2023 due to the powered lift gate module even though the recall states that a vehicle fire may occur. Since Feb 10 I have not been able lower the lift gate without manually pushing it down and it will not lock. Dealer has no answer and Chrysler says they have not fix yet. Fire? The recall states to not park inside a building. I think this is serious enough

Randomly an audible alarm sounds and the dash indicates "Service Shifter" while the digital dashboard indicators do not allow to navigate away from that notice, and all of the lights on the transmission indicators illuminate. I called the dealer and they said they were aware of issues with that, but no recall exists. I Googled the "Service Shifter" and my model vehicle and apparently it's a larger problem than the Dealer indicated on the phone. I was advised to turn the vehicle off, open the door, close the door, and restart the vehicle. The error cleared but later intermittently reappears.

I've been waiting for months to fix the latest recall as part of the 'park outside' campaign, of which we received notice several months ago. This vehicle should never have been sold due to the 11 recalls it's had. I want out of this vehicle and loan. Please advise.

Stellaris (Fiat/Chrysler/Jeep) issued an urgent recall for my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk in May, 2023, related to the electric liftgate (recall 49A), notifying me that I should not park my vehicle indoors, as it can spontaneously catch fire. I can neither park in my garage at home (which violates my HOA terms) nor at work (which is underground) and be in compliance with the recall. I'm also unable to sell the vehicle back to the dealer. As of today, 1/29/2024, nine months later, I talked to both my local dealer and FCA directly on their helpline. There is no repair available and FCA confirmed by phone that there is 'no timeline available' for parts availability. This is unacceptable, as recall repairs should be completed in a timely fashion.

Our 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is being recalled for transmission and power lift gate. These parts cannot be fixed because the parts are not avaiable. Also they updated the navigation and UCONNECT and vehicles 2015-2018 are not eligible for the update. They changed from 3G to 4G. And our Jeep is not qualified. We went to another car dealer and were told because of the recalls which they have many on their lot, we were offered only 7000 dollars for trade. Because of the recalls, we need to get another vehicle.

I have a recall for the electrical system due to a possibility of fire with or without the ignition on. I've called several dealerships to get this taken care of only to be told there is not a solution yet, that their waiting lists are backed up, that they can't help me, etc., and I cannot get in touch with the manufacturer. This recall is serious enough that they recommend not to park it near any structures in case the vehicle catches on fire. Obviously, this vehicle is not safe to drive. I am wanting options in terms of replacing the vehicle which the dealerships and manufacturer are not being forthcoming with.

Parking brake engaged and had to be manually overridden to disengage. Upon further research on the internet and taking apart the rear I found a water leak from the power liftgate and the electronic power brake module to be corroded.

There is still no remedy for my vehicle, the rain water got inside my vehicle and made the seats/ carpet moldy and still smells like mold after 3 interior cleanings and months of keeping up with cleaning. Water still gets through. The back tailgate doesn’t work due to the recall and I’m not sure what to do. I would like the manufacturer to take it back and give me the amount I’ve paid for it through finance.

I received an error message on the dash that the PTU failed which is a common failure on this Jeep. Mine was diagnosed by a local dealership. They informed me that the PTU ws determined to be ok, and the Transmission Control Module was actually at fault. After waiting for the part, which wasn't available due to the Stellantis strike. When I was waiting for the parts to come in, the dealer said I could drive the Jeep since it was electronic part failure and as long as I didn't engage the 4-wh. dr. to power the rear wheels, it would be ok to drive. When the TCM was received, I dropped the Jeep off for service. The part was replaced, error cleared, and test driven by the technician. The error message immediately returned. At this point, the technician decided to do a visual inspection of the drivetrain. He found the rear differential cracked all the way around, and all fluids had leaked out. If the rear differential had locked up or CV snapped off due to lack of lubrication, it could have caused a serious, possibly deadly accident. I feel the technician should have performed a complete inspection of the driveline first, before trusting the computer to correctly diagnose the problem. After talking to other Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk owners, it appears they had similar situations with the rear differential splitting open much too often for a front wheel drive midsize SUV.

The service shifter light came on and there is an issue with that with Jeep cars.

The transmission 'locks' into neutral while at a light or stop or when trying to reverse. You must put the vehicle in to Park to reset the transmission. The engine will rev with the transmission 'locked' in a neutral state. Note: the vehicle was not moved into neutral. You are actively in drive or revs when it almost slips into the neutral state. The gear shift still shows in drive or revs, but the transmission is not engaged.
