2016 Jeep Cherokee complaints

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.
