2016 Jeep Cherokee complaints

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEEN SHOWING A SERVICE SHIFTER ON MY SCREEN AND ALL OF MY LIGHTS ARE SOLID ON MY SHIFTER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I ALSO HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY CAR AFTER THIS HAPPENS

"SERIVE SHIFTER" APPEARS ON THE DASH SCREEN AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS P, R, N, D, +/- LIGHT UP ON THE SHIFTER WHILE MOVING, BUT I ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN ONCE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING. THE CAR STILL DRIVES, AND IF SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE MESSAGE AND LIGHTS GO AWAY. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY. ALL OF THE GEARS STILL WORK, AND THE CAR RECOGNIZING WHICH GEAR IT IS IN.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE CAME UP ON DASH WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MILES AN HOUR, ALL LIGHTS LIT UP ON SHIFTER. CANNOT CLEAR MESSAGE WITHOUT PULLING OVER AND SHUTTING CAR OFF, THEREFORE SPEEDO.ETER AND OTHER CAR SAFETY INFORMATION IS UNAVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, NO CODES ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

WHILE IN MOTION: 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL RANDOMLY LOSE ENGINE POWER DURING A RIGHT TURN (ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND AT LOW SPEED ON CITY STREET), STEERING LOCKS UP, DECELERATES AUTOMATICALLY, AND DASH SAYS TO PUT VEHICLE INTO MANUAL MODE AND SELECT THE DESIRED GEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TWO TIMES.

THE SHIFTER SERVICE LIGHT IS COMING ON. I CUT THE CAR BACK OFF, TOOK THE KEY OUT AND RESTARTED THE CAR, BUT THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON AFTER AWHILE. IT WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. IT HAS DONE IT WHILE DRIVING THOUGH.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARED & EMI LIT. CAR LOST POWER & I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. SPEED DROPPED TO ABOUT 40MPH & HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD. FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GO AGAIN & MESSAGE WENT AWAY. HAD CAR DIAGNOSED & THEY SAY IT'S IN TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 30 MORE TIMES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $6500 FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS & IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE! I'M SCARED I'M GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE READ THAT THERE'S ABOUT 37,000 RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE OF JEEP, BUT NOT ON MY JEEP. THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING 10 MILES, BUT MAY NOT HAPPEN FOR 100 MILES. IT HAS HAPPENED ON BUSY HIGHWAYS WHERE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY.

TURNED CAR IGNITION ON AND SAT IN PARKING LOT. ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER A SHIFTER SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARED ON DISPLAY AND ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFT LIT UP. 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH APPROXIMATELY 34000 MILES. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS MESSAGE BEFORE. MESSAGE AND LIGHTS WENT AWAY AFTER SHUTTING OFF CAR AND TURNING BACK ON.

JUMPING TRANSMISSION. DECELERATE'S WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY.

I BOUGHT MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED NEW AND FOR THE FIRST 100, 000 MILES HAD NO PROBLEM WITH IT UNTIL ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, THE ENGINE HIT 5000 RPM AT 45 MPH AND WOULD RED LINE IF I WENT FASTER, I PULLED OVER AND COULD NOT SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RADIO, WIPERS AND EVERYTHING WERE GOING ON THEIR OWN INCLUDING EVERY WARNING LIGHT POSSIBLE. AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN IDLE I DECIDED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RECONNECT AND IT STARTED BACK UP WITH ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THEY WEREN'T SURE WHY ALL CODES WERE GOING OFF BUT CHECKED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND RESET THE LIGHT. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME AT 65MPH DURING A SNOWFALL ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THIS TIME THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP I MANAGED TO BRAKE AND STOP ON HIGHWAY WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ON AGAIN DISCONNECTED BATTERY AND TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER SO AT A COST OF NEARLY $2300 I DID. NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT UNTIL IT WAS RAINING ONE DAY AND BOOM INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS UP AGAIN, THANKFULLY THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT LOCK AGAIN. I TAKE IT BACK AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT RESET THE LIGHT. NOW I CANT DRIVE MY JEEP WHEN IT RAINS FOR FEAR OF MORE ISSUES. FAST FORWARD 3 MONTHS TO TODAY, I AM ABOUT A MILE FROM MY HOME AND THE DASH LIGHTS UP SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER REQUIRED. AND ALL THE LIGHTS FOR P,R,N,D ARE ALL RED, I TRIED TO TURN OFF AND START AGAIN WITH NO LUCK THE LIG

WAS DRIVING, COMING TO A STOP AND SCREEN FLASHED PUT GEAR INTO PARK TO CHANGE GEARS. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND SAME THING POPPED UP. I PUT IT BACK INTO PARK, SHUT THE CAR OFF. TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULDN'T START. THEN I TRIED AGAIN, LEFT KEY ON AND IT JUST WHIRLED OVER 3-4 TIMES AND FINALLY STARTED. AND EVERYTHING WAS GONE AND I COULD DRIVE AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS PRIOR, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND I HAD A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS BY EACH GEAR ON SHIFTER WERE RED.

THE POWER LIFT GATE HAS FAILED TO LIFT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ONCE, THE LIFT GATE ACTUALLY FELL UNEXPECTEDLY, HITTING ME IN THE HEAD! IT SEEMS TO STRUGGLE TO LIFT ON MOST ATTEMPTS.

MY JEEP DOES NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND SOMETIMES SECOND UNTIL THE ENGINE REVES UP HIGH AND THEN SHIFTS SUDDENLY WITH A FORCEFUL JERK. SOMETIMES UPON ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, AND THEN DOES THE FORCEFUL SUDDEN JERK WHEN IT GOES INTO A HIGHER GEAR. IT HAS BEEN FORCEFUL ENOUGH TO FEEL AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAS BUMPED INTO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO MY INDEPENDENT CAR REPAIR PLACE AND NEITHER CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT HAS BEGUN TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY.

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING WHEN IN MOTION. SHIFT SERVICES LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR ON THE CAR ACCELERATES OR SEEMS TO STALL. ENGINE WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. IT MAKES AN EXCESSIVE NOISE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IN MOTION.

VEHICLE STALLS DURING DECELERATION INTO RIGHT HAND TURNS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. DEALERSHIP IS DENYING ANY PROBLEMS EXIST AND CANNOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. ONLINE COMPLAINTS STATE THAT SOME DEALERSHIPS STATING IT IS DUE TO LOW OIL AND OIL CONSUMPTION IS VERY HIGH AND PROBLEM CAN OCCUR EVEN WITH VEHICLE MAINTAINED TO MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND MAKE IT RIGHT NO MATTER THE COST. NO WARNING OR TROUBLE LIGHTS PRIOR TO COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THEY JUST RECALLED THE 2019 MODELS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM BUT THEY NEED TO RECALL PRIOR YEARS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY WERE CARS OUR TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

THE ENGINE LIGHT AND MESSAGE SERVICE TRANSMISSION CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, HOWEVER I COULD NOT DRIVE OVER 40 MILES AN HOUR IN TRAFFIC ONCE THIS HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT FOUND THAT THIS WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. WHY WOULD A SOFTWARE DAY CAUSE THIS MUCH OF AN ISSUE AND A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AT THAT. WHY ISN'T THERE A PERMANENT FIX TO THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AT 56,000 MILES WHEN I TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE. ALL THE LIGHTS FOR THE SHIFTER CAME ON AND THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO GO INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES, NOT ALL CONSECUTIVE.

THIS ISSUES HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. I AM DRIVING WITH NO ISSUES AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOSES SPEED. I WILL GO FROM 70-0MPH WITH IN SECONDS, ALL THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON ON MY DASH BOARD AND I AM UNABLE TO SPEED UP OR EVEN STEER OUT OF THE WAY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER,NO CARS BEHIND ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT WITH OUT A QUESTION. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CAR SHUT DOWN WITH OUT ACTUALLY TURNING OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR ME BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED. AS SOON AS THEY WOULD CONNECT IT TO DIAGNOSE THEY SAID THE CODES WOULD CLEAR AND THE CAR WAS WORKING. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED AND NOW I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE. NOW THE STEREO WILL NOT TURN ON. THE SCREEN IS ON BUT WILL NOT MOVE FROM THE JEEP SIGH IT WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF BUT NOT EVER MOVE FROM THERE.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, MY DAUGHTER BACKED THE CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK INTO DRIVE. IT SEEMED FINE AFTER THAT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FREAK THING. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING "SERVICE SHIFTER". WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM FIX IT. THEY ORDERED PARTS BUT SAID IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 4 DAYS FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. WHEN THE PARTS FINALLY CAME AND WERE INSTALLED, THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I WAS THEN TOLD THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED A COMPANY WIDE MEMO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOW NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD TAKE WEEKS TO MAYBE MONTHS BEFORE IT WOULD COME IN. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PARTS CAME IN BUT NOT SURE IF THEY EVEN KNOW. I'VE LOOKED THIS PROBLEM UP ONLINE AND SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING.

I TURNED ON THE CAR, LET IT WARM UP FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. PUT IT IN DRIVE, I WAS ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON, THE CAR STALLED AND THE MOTOR TURNED OFF. THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN DRIVE AND I HAD TO FORCEFULLY FIND A WAY TO MOVE IT TO NEUTRAL OR PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. WHEN I CHECKED THE FLUIDS ON THE VEHICLE EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE OIL DIP STICK. ALL THE OIL HAD BURNED AWAY AND I WAS STILL ABOUT 2000 MILES AWAY FROM NEXT OIL CHANGE. ALL MY OIL CHANGES WERE DONE AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND WE USED SYNTHETIC OIL TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS THAT NO WARNING SIGNS ARE GIVEN TO THE DRIVERS AND THAT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS COMMON PROBLEM, THEY CANNOT RESOLVE IT. PLEASE HELP!

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE KEEPS GETTING SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS. IT HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR, WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SHIFTING INTO PARK. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON WILL SOMETIMES CLEAR THE ISSUE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES REPEATED TRIES TO GET IT TO CLEAR. IT HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC.WHEN IT HAPPENS THE INFORMATION DISPLAY ON THE DASH SWITCHES TO "SERVICE SHIFTER". NO OTHER INFO IS DISPLAYED.

OIL DOES NOT LAST DURING OIL CHANGES, I HAVE TO ADD OIL. THERE IS NOT A LEAK OR ANY ISSUE, IT IS JUST BURNING WAY TOO FAST. MY JEEP WAS CUTTING OFF RIGHT AFTER I WOULD START DRIVING (USUALLY RIGHT AFTER A TURN) AND I HAD NO IDEA WHY UNTIL I NOTICED OIL WAS EXTRA LOW. SO NOW I JUST MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT FULL BETWEEN CHANGES. DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE THIS IS A NUISANCE.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, 'CHECK SHIFTER' APPEARED ON MY DASH AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIGHT UP RED.

THERE IS A LOUD METALLIC KNOCK WHEN SHIFTING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND VIS VERSA. THIS IS FOLLOWED BY A DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHICH JOLTS THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" APPEARED ON MY SCREEN, AND ON MY SHIFTER, EVERYTHING LIT UP IN RED. SOMETHING TELLS ME THIS ISN'T PARTICULARLY SAFE.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND TWO MILES INTO MY COMMUTE I NOTICED THAT A MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH. IT IS ( SERVICE SHIFTER) MESSAGE. MY SHIFTER HAS RED LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON ALL THE SELECTIONS IN THE SHIFTER. I OWN A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 75TH EDITION, WITH ABOUT 58,0000 MILES. I BELIEVE A LOT OF FOLKS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING.

WHEN I START THE CAR THE SERVICE SHIFTER WILL COME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY SHIFTER LIGHT. I TURNED MY CAT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WENT OFF. THAT WAS ABOUT A WEEK AGO. NOW IT IS DOING IT EVERY OTHER DAY. CANT SEEM TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARED, EMI LIT & CAR WENT FROM GEAR TO CLUTCH CAUSING LOSS OF POWER & COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES CAR WENT BACK INTO GEAR & WAS ABLE TO REGAIN PROPER SPEED. WHEN I FILLED WITH GAS THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WENT OFF. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 400 MILES THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE, FORTUNATELY IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY & I WAS ABLE TO GET IN RIGHT LANE. IF THERE HAD BEEN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT STAYED ON SO I TOOK MY JEEP TO A MECHANIC. THE CODE SAYS THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER FOR THE TRANSMISSION, IT GETS TOO HOT& THE CAR GOES OUT OF GEAR TO THE CLUTCH, THEN BACK IN GEAR. I READ ONLINE THERE ARE 37,000 RECALLS ON THIS JEEP PROBLEM, BUT NONE ON MINE. THERE NEEDS TO BE ONE!

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AT THE END OF 2016 BRAND NEW A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY SHIFTER. I TOOK IT BACK AFTER A FEW MONTHS AND THEY CHANGE THE PART ON IT WHICH IS SEEM TO WORK THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON FOR A WHILE. BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT COMES BACK ON SO I KNEW SOMETHING ELSE WAS WRONG. NOW MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR DOES MULTIPLE THINGS FOR EXAMPLE FALLING COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS. IT EVEN GOT TO THE POINT WHEN AFTER I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE THERE AFTER. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND LIFE-THREATENING TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOT KNOWING AND ANY GIVEN TIME WHEN SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

THE SHIFTING WHILE IN OPERATION IS VERY ROUGH, JERKS HARD WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN THE LIGHT WILL COME ON INDICATING THE AUTOMATIC FUNCTION THAT TURNS THE ENGINE OFF WHILE STOPPED TO SAVE FUEL ISN'T WORKING. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 57,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A MONTH MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY BOTH ON HWY AND IN TOWN AND ALWAYS WHILE IN MOTION FROM 35 MPH+

VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, STEERING LOCKS AND THE DASH LIGHTS UP WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS PUT VEHICLE AND "PARK" AND THEN SELECT DESIRED GEAR. I HAVE TWO SMALL SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. I KEEP MY VEHICLE UP TO DATE ON MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. I READ OVER 100 PEOPLE'S EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS ON LINE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT I AM PAYING A CAR PAYMENT, HAVE LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON A LESS THAN 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, AND HAVING THESE KIND OF SAFETY CONCERNS. WE HAVE ONE VEHICLE, LIMITED MEANS, AND TONS OF THERAPY APPOINTMENTS. TODAY, MY CAR DIED WITH NO WARNING ON A BUSY ROAD, GIVES ME APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS TO PULL TO SAFETY BEFORE THERE IS NO SPEED/ABILITY TO MANUEVER THE VEHICLE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE RISK IS SO HIGH, AND THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON LINE SHOW A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS AMONG HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES BY JEEP AND NOTHING. THE DEALERSHIPS/SERVICE CONTINUE TO MAKE COMMENTS LIKE "WE WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE". TO BE SPECIFIC: DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR, STRAIGHT FOLLOWING A RIGHT TURN....LOST POWER. LIGHTS WENT ON THE DASH, MESSAGE ABOVE APPEARED. IT TOOK TWO TRIES TO RESTART TO GET ME OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

ABOUT EVERY 5 WKS MY CAR SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER AND ALL LIGHTS COME ON. NOBODY CAN GET IT TO STAY OFF. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD JUST STARTED MY CAR AND TRYING TO PUT IT IN GEAR. DIFFERENT TIMES OF DAY SOME TIMES IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DRIVEN AND OTHERS IT HADN'T.

TAMARA RECALL IN 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE THAT I BOUGHT 8 MONTHS AGO, A LIGHT CAME ON THE NOTICE SCREEN THAT SAID 'SERVICE SHIFTER'. IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE TODAY ALREADY, IT WENT AWAY WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF BUT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT TIME I STARTED DRIVING. I'M NERVOUS THIS ISSUE MAY LEAVE ME STRANDED. NOT A GOOD LIGHT.

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER IN THE BRAKES, ACCELERATOR AND STEERING WHEEL. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT A FEW TIMES TAKING A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON MAY 6TH ON A BUSY STREET, ONCE ON MAY 9TH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND TWICE ON MAY 11TH ON ANOTHER BUSY STREET. THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR. I WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 3 MONTHS OR 2000 MILES. NO OIL LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON TO WARN ME ALL MY CAR KEPT DOING WAS STALLING TELLING ME TO SHIFT TO PARK. I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN OR ADD OIL BEFORE DRIVING IT TO THEM. THE DEALER EXPLAINED WHEN THE DIPSTICK DOES NOT "FEEL" OIL THE ENTIRE CAR ESSENTIALLY SHUTS DOWN AND LOCKS UP IN ORDER TO "PROTECT THE ENGINE" CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL IT. THEY MIGHT BE PROTECTING THE ENGINE FROM BURNING OIL, BUT TO LOSE FUNCTIONALITY PUTS MY LIFE AND FAMILY IN DANGER. JEEP/CHRYSLER HAVE HAD THIS REPORTED BEFORE AS I FOUND NUMEROUS CASES OF THE SAME STORY. HOWEVER NO RECALL HAVE BEEN ISSUED. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAS NOT TOLD ANY OF THIS INFORMATION WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MANY ISSUES HAVE TO BE REPORTED BEFORE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS BECOME A CONCERN.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE KEEPS COMING ON WITH NO APPARENT ISSUE AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT SHOWN

RANDOMLY..... WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL TURN RED. THE LIGHTS STAY RED & THE WARNING STAYS ON THE DASH & I AM UNABLE TO SEE MY SPEED LIMIT OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE DETAILS. THIS STAYS ON UNTIL I PARK & TURN MY VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAPPENS DAILY AT RANDOM MOMENTS, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR MOVING, NO MATTER THE SPEED BEING TRAVELED, & NO MATTER THE LOCATION. IT IS ALWAYS RANDOM.

TAKATA RECALL: THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING UP LAST MONTH BROUGHT ON BY A COMPUTER FLAW THAT WAS DISCOVER BY CHRYSLER. THE CAR WOULD STALL AFTER COMING TO A HALT/SLOW DOWN. BASED ON THE MEMBERS OF AAMCO, CHRYSLER RELEASED A BULLETIN '21-032-18' THAT INDICATES A COMPUTER UPDATE THAT REVEALED THAT THE 'TCM POWER CIRCUIT CONTROL. HIGH.' THIS WAS NOT A DRIVER/OWNER ISSUE, THIS WAS A CHRYSLER/JEEP ISSUE. AFTER I RETURNED FROM MY TDY AND HAVING PAID $185 FOR A COMPUTER UPDATE, I WAS LOOKING REIMBURSEMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. IT'S DISGUSTING HOW A LOYAL CUSTOMER CAN BE TREATED SO POORLY WITHOUT HAVING AN ISSUE RESOLVED FOR SOMETHING THAT THE COMPANY CAUSED.

SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED IN TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN THE SPAN OF A MONTH. FIRST ENCOUNTER, WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER TAKING THE CAR OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT. I WAS ENTERING THE DRIVE AWAY AND ALL OF SUDDEN, SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED AND ALL THE GEAR INDICATORS FLASHED BRIGHT RED. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP,, I PROBABLY PUT LESS THAT 10 MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE IGNITION. PUT IT IN DRIVE, THIS TIME WHILE STATIONARY AND IT APPEARED AGAIN. I DIDN'T TAKE A PHOTO THE FIRST TIME, AS I ASSUMED IT WAS A FLUKE. DIDN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE AFTER THAT TILL TODAY, MAY 17TH. I STARTED UP THE IGNITION AND HEADED ON MY WAY OFF, WITHIN 5 MINS OF MY RIDE, I HEARD A BEEP. LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE AGAIN SO I DROVE OFF INTO A PARKING LOT TO CHECK OUT THE ISSUE. I STOPPED AND WENT INTO PARK. THE RED INDICATORS WERE STILL APPARENT. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE 5X AND REPEATED TURNING ON THE IGNITION, PUT IT IN DRIVE, SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR APPEARS AND GOING INTO PARK AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE ALL WHILE STATIONARY IN THE PARKING LOT. AFTER THE 6TH TIME, I TOOK IT SLOW AND IT DIDN'T APPEAR. SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I PROBABLY HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE JEEP LESS THAN 100 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DISENGAGE FROM DRIVE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP MOVING, ESPECIALLY ON STEEP GRADS.

THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDS REPLACED FIR SHIFTER , SEE ATTACHED PIC . FAULTY WIRING IS CAUSING SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT TO COME ON.

SERVICE SHIFTER SHOWS UP ON DISPLAY AND ALL LIGHTS AT SHIFTER GLOW RED

MY SERVICE SHIFTER POPS UP AND I HAVE HAD IT SWITCH AND OR SERVICED OVER 5 TIMES

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR CHECKED OIL THERE WAS NONE I AM NOT DUE FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE FOR 500 MILES I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 19,000 MILES I HOPE THIS IS FIXED IF NOT I WILL BE GETTING RID OF THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE AN JEEP PRODUCT EVERY AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY

I BOUGHT IT USED AND IT HAD 1 RECALL THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED AND NOW THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE READ 100S OF OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH LITTLE TO NO PERMANENT RESOLUTION.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. NO APPARENT REASON.

MY 2016 JEEP WITH AROUND 23,000 MILES 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ERROR CODE HAS COME ON. IT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE. JUST MY GOOGLING IT THIS MORNING BROUGHT UP HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE.

TURNING AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY ROAD, AN ALERT CAME UP ONTO MY DASH THAT READ TO SHIFT, CAR MUST BE IN PARK, HOWEVER NOTHING TOUCHED MY SHIFTER. MY CAR THEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, NO TIME TO PULL OVER OR GET OFF THE ROAD. THE POWER WAS STILL ON BUT THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. I BRAKED TO RE START AND IT SPUTTERED, BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND SO DID ENGINE LIGHT. TRIED STARTING AGAIN AND AFTER A FEW SPUTTERS, CAR CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF OF BUSY ROAD. CAR HAS DONE THIS 3 TIMES TOTAL NOW, EVERY TIME THE SAME. NOTHING SEEMS WRONG WHILE DRIVING, NO ERROR ALERTS OR ANYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT 20 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND "SHIFT TO KEY FOR PARK TO SELECT THE DESIRED GEAR" APPEARED ON THE INSTUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE THREE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT CALLED SANSONE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (LOCATED AT 100 US HIGHWAY, US-1, AVENEL, NJ 07001, (866) 809-9999) AND A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,280. *DT

THE DIP STICK ONLY REACHING THE TOP 3 QUARTS OF OIL.I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF MID DRIVE(IN MOTION) TO PROTECT THE ENGINE EVEN IF YOU ARE GOING 70 MPH(ON THE CITY STREET, HIGH WAY, OR LOCAL ROAD AND WHILE TURNING). THIS IS SO THE ENGINE DOES NOT BURN THE OIL. THIS MEANS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT AND LOOSES POWER AND CONTROL WITH NO NOTIFCATION.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. MUST STOP AND SHUT DOWN TO RESET.
