2016 Jeep Cherokee complaints

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.
