2015 Jeep Cherokee complaints

Vehicle recall has not been resolved in a timely manner. Liftgate does not open, preventing access to spare tire in case of emergency. Also poses a fire risk.

Emergency parking brake would automatically engage. Service parking brake message on dash. Could not flat tow vehicle due to this problem. Dealer replaced EPB module. Told me it showed corrosion. Still getting message after replacement. Further investigation showed water intrusion due to cracked body or leaking seal. Replaced wiring harness. I believe all of this is in same area that is in the lift gate recall and subject the same electrical fire dangers.

Loss of power while driving

It has multiple errors on the vehicle. What the dealership did find was a short circuit on the PTU (power transfer unit module). When the PTU short circuited it took out the DTCM (drivetrain control module).and it needs to replace .

“Service shifter” light during driving but goes away. Impossible to figure out how to repair because it doesn’t stay on. This is extremely dangerous and we are worried it would stop working in traffic and cause accident. Not to mention dealer won’t look at or repair it since it has no trouble codes when scanned.

Safety recall 49A/NHTSA 23V-338. Fire hazard. Do not park in garage or near other vehicles. This was issued 5/11/2023 and has not been repaired. The restrictions make the vehicle nearly unusable. Try going to Wal Mart or church and not park next to another vehicle or park somewhere and find that another vehicle parked next to you. How long is a reasonable repair time? If they can't fix the vehicle maybe they should consider a buyback.

Oil cooler cracked Dec 2022. Oil cooler cracked again Nov 2023. I heard this is an ongoing issue and should be a recall with people having to replace it every single year! Could become a safety issue as it blows spoke all over the place.

On 2 different occasions in the past three weeks, the vehicle has stalled while driving. The instrument panel flashed a Parking Brake Warning each time and then the warning went off. The instrument panel also flashed a transmission warning twice. Each time were driving in traffic when the car just shut off. We took it to the local dealership, they reset the transmission and sent the car home. The car did the same thing 3 more times since the "fix". It has since been towed back to the dealership for repairs.

The recall on my vehicle has still not been remedied, nor have I received any information in regards to this recall outside of news coverage and my own checking.

Service shifter light Service shifter light came on and gear shift lights are all red; Reverse, Park, Neutral, Drive. Then a warning message flashed to service the air bag system and the 4wd needs servicing. This has happened three times. The first time it happened was at a stoplight. The second time it happened I could not leave a parking lot. The third time it happened I barley got it toy destination to park it. I have researched that this tends to be a problem with jeeps.

No incident but ridiculous that Jeep/Mopar cannot find a remedy for this URGENT Fire risk after 3 years - it's time to fix this so the vehicles can be parked safely in doors - or not at risk when person is driving car.

I've read all of these complaints online about issues with the same situation that I'm having issues with. Everyone that owns a Jeep is having the same issue. With the service shifter light, it comes on often after 12000 miles. Being put on the vehicle in everyone's statement is the same. What is it going to take for someone to look within this issue? To see why our service shifter light keeps coming on. After so many miles, I have had this issue serviced in the last three years 3 times. Why isn't the complaints enough for this to go into a recall status. It is unsafe for us to keep driving our families around in these vehicles And this issue keeps coming about what if this issue starts, causing other issues within the vehicle? To shut off, while were on the road driving to our destinations. How and when what? We get a piece of mind from having to deal with this situation, Day in and Day Out. If any proof of this situation is needed to be shown, there is no pictures in my phone only proof I have is through the dealership who's had the replace it 3 times

Jeep/Chrysler/FCA/Stellantis has known about an electrical problem with the tailgate lift for years. I now have received Recall 49A requesting me "...to not park these vehicles inside of buildings or structures..." because of fire potential. I have been to my local Jeep dealer - no help! I called 800-Chrysler - no help! I called 844-253-2872 - no help! Will Jeep/Chrysler/FCA/Stellantis reimburse me for damages from parking my Jeep outside, of course not! But, they don't mind damaging my vehicle since I have to pay for it and not them. Jeep/Chrysler/FCA/Stellantis needs a swift kick in the b__t and get this thing fixed. They have had years to fix is and are simply stonewalling the customers. NHTSA please help.

While driving moderately at about 45 miles per hour I heard a clunk in the drivetrain and the vehicle would no longer propel itself and I was in the middle lane in traffic during rush hour. I nearly got hit three times attempting to get out of the middle lane. Once I got to the right lane I managed to coast up a driveway and coast backwards into a parking spot. My spouse is handicapped and the reason I keep a very good vehicle to transport her for Medical Appointments, especially. I contend that Jeep, Chrysler, Daimler, Fiat and all the others involved in the reason for this recall, knowingly and without regard for safety of their consumers assembled the transmission with the defectively machined transfer case for MONETARY reasons. I want my car repaired as a defective vehicle under the LEMON LAW act.

While driving onto the interstate I was accelerating on the on-ramp when the vehicle suddenly lost the ability to shift gears, while every service indicator light on the dash came on. I pulled over to check on the vehicle. I did restart and it seemed ok. Once starting to get back onto the interstate it stopped shifting gears at 3rd gear, and would also not downshift. This was an issue as I could only reach a speed of about 35-40 MPH. This continued for hours while getting to my destination. At certain points it would not shift out of first gear. This was not a safe environment to be in. I called the dealer and took it for servicing. Dealer stated the oil cooler stopped working, and in doing so leaked oil all throughout the engine. I ended up replacing the thermostat, radiator, and the oil cooler due to the issue. The Jeep was in the shop for 15 days while they were replacing parts and trying to flush out the oil in areas there shouldn’t be any oil. They told me I would always have a slim amount of oil in engine due to not being able to flush completely. $5000 later, everything seems to be ok now.
