2018 Jeep Cherokee complaints

IRREGULAR OIL CONSUMPTION IN THE 2.4 LITER MODEL OF THE JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SHUT OFF DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE. THERE WAS NOT ANY WARNING AND THE CAR WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE.

MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME (12/8/2019 @ 1200 HRS) I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND IT JUST SHUT OFF. NO DASH INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS AND IT HAD PLENTY OF FUEL. THE SECOND TIME (12/9/2019 @ APPRX 1600 HRS)I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO A VERY BUSY CITY STREET AND IT SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT. AGAIN NO WARNINGS AT ALL. AFTER APPRX 10 MINUTES CAR WAS ABLE TO RESTART. DROVE STRAIGHT TO DALLAS DODGE(APPRX 23 MILES.) THEY SAID IT WAS LOW ON OIL. SHOULD ADD OIL OR GET OIL CHANGE. BUT SINCE THEY WERE CLOSING THEY DID NOT HAVE ANYONE WHO COULD HELP. ALSO SAID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST NEEDED TO BE DONE, BUT THEY COULD NOT PERFORM IT. OIL CHANGE PLACES WERE CLOSED. I DROVE TO AUTO ZONE AND PURCHASED A 5 QT BOTTLE OF SYNTHETIC OIL. ADDED 3 QTS. TO FILL. 16-DECTOOK CAR TO APPOINTMENT @ ED VOYLES. THEY HAD TO ADD 1.5 QTS OF OIL. SAID TO BRING IT BACK IN 1000 MILES OR IF OIL GOT LOW BEFORE THAT, BRING IT IN SO THEY CAN MEASURE IT AND DOCUMENT AMOUNT OF TIME AND MILEAGE. 4-JAN2ND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AT ED VOYLES. THEY HAD TO ADD 1 QT. SAID TO COME BACK IN 1000 MILES 1/15/20203RD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. REQUIRED 2 QUARTS TO BE ADDED. SERVICE DEPT SAID ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY WILL CALL CHRYSLER/JEEP WARRANTY TO ORDER NEW ENGINE. HOWEVER, THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A COURTESY VEHICLE I WILL HAVE TO RENT ONE.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A MAIN STREET AT ABOUT 45 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT TURNING RIGHT. AFTER SHIFTING BACK TO PARK AND STRUGGLE TO TURN OVER AND RESTART, ABLE TO GET BACK HOME WITH SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING 2 MORE TIMES. REPLICATED THE ISSUE AGAIN PARKED AT THE HOUSE WITH A VERY HARD STRUGGLE TO START. STEERING AND ENGINE POWER COMPLETELY GONE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN "SERVICE SHIFTER" WITH THE SHIFTER LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED RED. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS THING SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE TRANSMISSION IS SPANKED. MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF IN MOTION AND NOT START BACK UP WHEN IT DOES THIS. I HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR HOURS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHINCLE. I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2018 THIS SHOULD NOT BE GIVING ME THESE ISSUES

RIGHT WHEN MY VEHICLE HIT 25,000 MILES, I NOTICED THAT ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE IN MOTION THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ALL IN RED, P,R,N,D. YOU SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND ALL TURN OFF THEN WHEN YOU START DRIVING AGAIN THEY'LL DO THE SAME. IT'LL STOP FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN START AGAIN. FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT ENDED UP BEGIN WIRES AND A SHIFTER HARNESS. A LOT OF JEEP CHEROKEE 2017-2019 OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING RIGHT AROUND THE SAME MILES. THIS NEEDS TO BECOME A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING ON SMALL HWY- ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFTER ILLUMINATE AND A SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE DISPLAYS, MESSAGE GOES AWAY AFTER STOP AND RESTART

CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF- HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 8 TIMES IN THE LAST12 MONTHS. CAR IS IN MOTION- AS BRAKES ARE APPLIED TO SLOW DOWN.. CAR JUST DIES WITHOUT NOTICE. SO FAR I'M LUCKY IT'S ONLY BEEN WHILE I'M NOT ON THE HWY. BUT APPROACHING A STOP OR TURN. TAKES A COUPLE MINUTES AND A FEW HARD CRANKS TO GET IT TO RESTART.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2018. THE FIRST 6 MONTHS I BATTLED THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS GOING OUT. AS I HAD TO SEE THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES BEFORE THEY WERE PROPERLY FIXED. NOW FOR THE PAST MONTH I HAVE HAD A SERVICE SHIFTER POP UP AND I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK WITH ME. NOW THE SERVICE SHIFTER IS POPPING UP EVERYDAY AND IT SEEMS JEEP HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS. NEED SOME ADVICE OF WHAT TO DO IF DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP. IT'S HAPPENING EVERY DAY!!!

WHILE DRIVING , CAR WILL SHUT OFF ENGINE/ELECTRIC SHUTDOWN. IT HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING AND THE POWER STEERING GOES MAKING IT VERY SCARY. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A STOP THE ONLY THAT COMES ON IS THE BATTERY LIGHT .

MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 3,000 MILES. TWO MONTHS AGO I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. MY BABY WAS 5 MONTHS AT THE TIME AND WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO START IT UP BUT HAD NO LUCK FOR 15 MINUTES, IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AND CONTINUED TO STALL ON MY WAY HOME.

CAR STALLED AND THE PANEL STATED SHIFT TO PARK ON PANEL AND WOULD NOT CRANK BACK. TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD A LONG HARD CRANK AND ENGINE FINALLY CAUGHT UP AND CRANKED. SHIFTED INTO PARK AND WENT ABOUT 1000 - 1500 FEET AND IT DIED AGAIN. WAITED AND TRIED TO CRANK AGAIN AND WENT TO HARD CRANK AGAIN BEFORE STARTING. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED LOW OIL. THIS IS THE REASON FOR GOING DEAD. STATED I NEEDED OIL CHANGES EVERY 5K AFTER I WAS TOLD INITIALLY 10 K THEN AT 1ST OIL CHANGE TOLD 7500K AND THEN AT THIS PROBLEM THEY STATED NO IT WAS DEFINATELY 5 K. THIS TIME, PANEL LIGHTS UP AND SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER SOON. ALL LIGHTS ON DRIVE SHIFTER LIGHTS UP. NOT JUST ON PARK OR REVERSE OR DRIVE. ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THEY COME AND GO. I ALSO HAVE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING THE LAST DAY OR SO AS WELL. COULD NOT CONFIRM YET. I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH OUT FOR THIS. 1ST DATE 12/4/19 AND SERVICED AT DEALER ON 12/5/19 MILEAGE 31146 AND NOW THIS IS 2/4/20 MILEAGE TODAY IS 34116

THE JEEP COMES WITH THE FEATURE OF WHEN U COME TO A STOP SIGN OR STOP FOR ANY TIME THE MOTOR SHUTS OFF AND RESUMES WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. MY WIFE VEHICLE'S HAD A EXCLAMATION POINT LIGHT COME ON SO SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PUT IT ON A COMPUTER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THAT'S SAME VERY NIGHT SHE WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY HER MOTOR JUST SHUTS OFF AL.OST CAUSING A ACCIDENT. SHE HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES OF TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF IT FINALLY RESTARTED

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING. WHEN LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WILL MAKE A BEEPING SOUND AND CAR DIES. IT TAKES A COUPLE TRIES TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE CAR IS COLD. ONCE IT IS RUNNING FOR A WHILE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO DIE. SEEMS RELATED TO THE COMPLAINTS OF RECALL U87.

HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CHEROKEE, MY OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN I WOULD TAKE SUDDEN TURN, I TOOK IT IN TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY STATED TO START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, IT APPEARS THE MOTOR EQUIPPED IN THE CHEROKEE WAS BURNING OIL AND THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE WHERE THE OIL WAS GOING, ALSO DURING THIS TIME, MY 'SERVICE SHIFTER' LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH AND ALL OF THE SHIFTER LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AT THE SAME TIME, THIS WOULD HAPPEN PERIODICALLY, THEY DECIDED THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE MOTOR DUE TO THE OIL ISSUE, I ASKED ABOUT THE SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUE, THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY FAULTS WITH THE SERVICE SHIFTER, SURE ENOUGH 3 WEEKS LATER MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WOULDN'T GO OFF, I WAS UNABLE TO TELL WHICH GEAR I WAS IN BECAUSE OF THIS BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE GEAR LIGHTS WERE ON SIMULTANEOUSLY, NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THIS ISSUE, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THIS ISSUE BE DOCUMENTED AND REPAIRED OR RECALLED.

2018 JEEP CHEROKEE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, IN MOTION ON STATE HIGHWAY, OIL LIGHT CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY, CAUSING POWER STEERING TO FAIL, FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS MOTOR RESTARTED BUT AUTO WOULD NOT ENGAGE DRIVE, HAD TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART X3,, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIME TODAY 1/24/2020

WHILE IN MOTION, ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR MY SHIFTER TURNED ON AND SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING WAS ILLUMINATED ON MY CLUSTER. ONCE I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, THE CONDITION CLEARED AND WENT AWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME ABOUT 6 TO 8 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, SOME HAVE BEEN WHILE DRIVING, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER THE TYPE OF ROAD I HAVE BEEN ON WHEN IT HAPPENS, AND SOME HAVE BEEN WHEN I START THE VEHICLE AND IT IMMEDIATELY SHOWS UP. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED, WHICH IS WEST HILLS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, IN BREMERTON WASHINGTON, MENTIONED AFTER I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON THING THAT THEY WERE DOING ABOUT A REPAIR A WEEK FOR THIS ISSUE.

RECENTLY MY SON WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT DIFFICULTY BUCKLING HIS SEAT BELT. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT HIS SEAT BELT WAS FRAYED IN SEVERAL PLACES. IT IS NOW FRAYED HALF WAY THROUGH THE WIDTH. I THOUGHT MAYBE HE WAS BEING TO ROUGH WITH THE SEATBELT, UNTIL I NOTICED MY OLDER SONS SEATBELT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. TO AVOID USING THE SEATBELTS FURTHER, I HAVE HAD TO MOVE MY YOUNGEST SON TO THE MIDDLE AND MY OLDEST TO THE FRONT PASSENGER.*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS NOT SURE IF THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE WIRING.*JB

TURNED ON THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY ALL THE RED LIGHTS WERE LIT UP ON THE GEAR SHIFTER. IT SAID SERVICE SHIFTER AND WOULD NOT MOVE TO A DIFFERENT SCREEN. CONCERNED ABOUT THIS I GOOGLED IT, AND FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS TO RESET. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED 30 SECONDS, TURNED IT BACK ON, NOTHING SO I DROVE AWAY. 10 MILES LATER THE CAR DINGS, SERVICE SHIFTER, AND THE SHIFT LIGHTS WERE ALL LIT UP AGAIN. I PARKED, TURNED THE CAR AND FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE. WITHIN 6 MILES IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH JEEP CHEROKEE'S AND IT IS NOT JUST THE 2018 MODEL YEARS, IT SEEMS TO BE SO COMMON THAT JEEP PERFORMED A RECALL ON OTHER CHEROKEE YEARS.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 32,128 MILES AND GOT A SERVICE MESSAGE THAT SAID 'SERVICE SHIFTER'. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS AN ISSUE THEY'VE SEEN BEFORE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET, I GOT TO A PARKING LOT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE SHIFTING TO PARK, OR TURNING THE CAR OFF. THEY INFORMED ME THAT BY TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE LIGHT SHOULD DISAPPEAR WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON AFTER TURNING IT ON, THE LIGHT WAS GONE.

MY GEAR SHIFTER LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP AND THE DISPLAY ON MY DASH BOARD SAID SERVICE SHIFTER THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING TO A SAFER LOCATION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED FUCCILLO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 10329 US RT 11, ADAMS, NY 13605, 844-353-7100) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE TENDED TO BURN MORE OIL THAN NECESSARY, WHICH CAUSED IT TO SHUT OFF. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO INFORM THEM OF LOW OIL BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON AND P R N D ALL LIGHT UP RED. WAS SENT IN LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. DEALER CHANGED SOME TYPE OF WIRING HARNESS IN THE TRANSMISSION. AND FLASHED THE TRANSMISSION. WEEK LATER JEEP BECAME VERY HESITANT AND STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD. WAS SENT BACK TO DEALER. IT WAS THEN NOTED TRANSMISSION NEEDED A UPDATE, NOW 6-8 MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE IS RE-OCCURRING. THIS IS ISSUE IS OCCURING IN 100-1000'S OF JEEP CHEROKEES THIS MODEL. SO I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU

RACK AND PINION COMPLETELY BROKE WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES

SERVICE SHIFTER KEEPS COMING ON MY CAR WHILE I'M DRIVING SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND IT LIGHTS UP ALL RED NEXT TO THE P R N D AND YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR MPH ON THE SCREEN OR TELL WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN MY CAR OFF AND OPEN MY DOOR AND THEN RESTART IT FOR IT TO GO AWAY. SOMETIMES IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. I TOLD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL IT COMES ON AND THEY CAN HOOK IT UP TO THE MACHINE BECAUSE NOTHING COMES ON WHEN THEY PLUG COMPUTER IN TO THE CAR.

I TURNED MY JEEP ON, PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND THE SCREEN SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER. ALL LIGHTS ON SHORTER ARE ON.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH UNDER 30,000 MILES ON IT. MY CAR'S STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN. MY BRAKES AND STEERING WERE LOCKED, CAUSING ME TO DRIFT UP ON TO A CURB AND HIT A SIGN. NO WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE CAR PRIOR TO THIS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I AM LEASING THE CAR FROM. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH JEEPS, THAT THE CAR WILL BURN THROUGH OIL VERY QUICKLY, THAT NO LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME ON, AND THAT THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AS A 'SAFETY FEATURE.' I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO PROTECT MYSELF BEYOND GETTING OIL CHANGES EVERY 3K MILES AND THAT IT 'SHOULD' BE FINE. AGAIN, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN OR THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE PRIOR TO IT TURNING OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION WAS REFERRED TO AS A SAFETY FEATURE BY THE DEALERSHIP WHO WOULD ONLY OFFER ME AN OIL CHANGE AS A FIX.

WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE FLOOR SHIFTER ILLUMINATE ALL GEAR POSITIONS. ALSO, AT LOW SPEED, WHEN ADDING POWER, THE TRANSMISSION HAS A "BUMP" AS IT TRIES TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. MAKES IT JERK/CLUNK INTO GEAR.

SERVICE SHIFTER APPEARS ON SCREEN, ALL SELECTIONS ON SHIFTER LIGHT UP RED. 40,000 MILES. HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE FORUMS. VEHICLE STATIONARY. JUST STARTED UP. TURN OFF AND RESTART- IT GOES AWAY

MAKING A RIGHT TURN, ENGINE SHUT OFF NO POWER, LIGHTS STATED I MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT WARNING LIGHTS. THE JEEP WOULD NOT START. I HAD EXPERIENCED NO PRIOR ISSUES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED MY HUSBAND WHO ARRIVED AND DROVE IT HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MOTOR AND TO CHECK THE OIL. UPON CHECKING THE OIL THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ON THE DIPSTICK. ONCE AGAIN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I BASICALLY NEED TO KEEP A CHECK ON THE OIL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON SHIFTER CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. P R N D, ETC. WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE, TOOK EXIT AND WHEN I WAS COMING TO STOP AT STOP SIGN A WARNING BEEP SOUNDED AND LIGHTS CAME ON SHIFTER AND DASH SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER. CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ABOUT SERVICING A SHIFTER.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHTS UP.

2018 CHEROKEE 24,834 MILES. PUT IN REVERSE WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVE. SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT APPEARED AND ALL GEAR LIGHT INDICATORS ILLUMINATED RED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, A "SERVICE SHIFTER" NOTICE COMES UP ON MY SH. ALL THE LIGHTS NEXT TO EACH GEAR LIGHT UP ON MY SHIFTER. THE NOTICE WON'T GO AWAY UNLESS I TURN THE CAR OFF FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES. IT COMES BACK ANYWHERE BETWEEN IMMEDIATELY AND 10 DAYS LATER. USUALLY DAILY. DEALER SAYS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT BUT THERE ARE REPORTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. SOME WAY THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY STALL OR YOU CANNOT PUT IT IN PARK.

THREE TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF FOUR DAYS WHILE DRIVING ALL LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT (PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, AND DRIVING) LIT UP AND A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD THAT READ "SERVICE SHIFTER". EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, TWICE WHILE ON CITY STREETS AND ONCE WHILE ENTRY A HIGHWAY. ALL THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFT.

THE 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE CONSUMES OIL AND HAS A MECHANISM WHERE IF THE CAR IS LOW ON OIL IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR GIVES NO WARNING IT IS LOW ON OIL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED ONE DAY WHEN THESE CARS JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING.*DT CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST OF ROUGHLY 15 OCCURRENCES OCCURRED AT 31K MILES. THE MOST RECENT HAPPENED AT 41,100 MILES. USUALLY WHILE TRAVELING 25-35 MPH AND USUALLY HAPPENS 2K-3K MILES FROM LAST OIL CHANGED. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH OR ALARMS CAR JUST LITERALLY DIES. .*JB

THE CAR STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE TURNING TOWARDS MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. I HAD MY DAUGHTER INSIDE THE CAR WITH ME AND I WAS AFRAID CARS WILL COME SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WERE CARS PASS BY TO ENTER THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE CAR AFTER CALLING MY DAD WHO HELPED ME TAKE IT TO A SAFE SPOT AND JUMP START THE CAR. THE CAR WORKED AFTER DOING A JUMP START AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT AT MY PARKING SPOT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS LEAVING TO DROP OFF MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AND SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS INSIDE THE CAR COMING OUT (IN MOTION) AND THE CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY AND WOULDN'T TURN. I CALLED ROAD ASSISTANCE THIS TIME. THEY SENT ME A TOWING COMPANY TO TAKE IT TO THE CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP. SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ON AT ALL, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO TAKE IT. THEY SAID THE CAR NEED IT A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK SINCE IT DIDN'T START AT ALL. THEY WERE ABLE TO TOW THE CAR 3 DAYS LATER ON SATURDAY 12/07/19 BY A TOWING COMPANY THAT HAD A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK AND TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT ORLANDO DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE WIN MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE RECHARGE AND GET NEW KEYS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW WITH 0 MILEAGES FROM JEEP DEALERSHIP ONLY 1 YEAR AND 6 MONTHS OLD. I DECIDED TO BUY A NEW CAR IN ORDER TO AVOID RISKS LIKE THESE ONE OF BEING LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET/ROAD WITH MY DAUGHTER INSIDE THE CAR. THANKFULLY THIS DID NOT HAPP

VEHICLE HAS STALLED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. SOME ON THE STREETS AND 3 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. HALF THE TIME I WAS WITH MY CHILDREN. YOU HAVE TO PUT IT BACK ON PARK, WAIT ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS, THEN SWITCH IT ON AN OFF THREE TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS AGAIN.

2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK (12/5/19), UPON SLOWING AND STARTING. THE STALLING HAS CAUSED ME TO COME TO A DEAD STOP ON A MAIN ROADS. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE I COULD NOT RESTART AND MOVE OUT THE WAY. THE DISPLAY SHOWS A "SHIFT SELECT" READING. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, THE ENGINE ACTS LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO START BACK. EVERYTHING ELSE SHOWS ALL IS NORMAL.

UNDER 30,000 MILES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOTIFY TO "SERVICE SHIFTER" BUT WOULD STILL ACCELERATE/BREAK/STOP. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THE INITIAL TIME. THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF AND THEN STARTED BACK UP AGAIN IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THE CODE. EVERYTIME THIS HAS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION, AT THE SPEED LIMIT.

WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN TURNING MY CAR ON AND PUTTING IT IN GEAR ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL COME ON AND IT WILL READ A MESSAGE ON THE DASH "SERVICE GEAR SHIFTER". I WILL HAVE TO COME TO A STOP, PUT IT IN PARK, AND SHUT IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON BEFORE THE MESSAGE WILL GO AWAY AND THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF.

ON 11/24/19 @ APPROXIMATELY 5:30PM LIGHTS ILLUMINATED SAYING SERVICE SERVICE SHIFT ADJUSTOR. THEN ON 11/29/19 WENT TO DRIVE THE CAR MADE IT A BLOCK FROM THE HOUSE AND CAR TURNED OFF. DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (12/2) WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY HALF MILE AWAY DIED TWICE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT STARTS AGAIN.

WARNING APPEARS ABOUT THE SHIFTER AND ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON. I READ A FORUM WHERE DOZENS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR HARNESS AND WIRING KIT. I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MODELS CRUISE CONTROL BUT WHEN I SEARCH ON HERE NOTHING COMES UP.

NORMAL DRIVING EITHER LONG OR SHORT TRIP, WARNING APPEARS ON DASH "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LED'S LIGHT UP ON SHIFTER. HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN (ACTUALLY BOTH TIMES I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY).

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN AND A CREATE A NO START SITUATION. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WITH THE SAME RESULT, A PARTIAL ROTATION OF THE ENGINE BEFORE THE SYSTEM RESETS. I CHECKED THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WHICH WAS READING ABOUT 11.5 VOLTS, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP THE VEHICLE, I GOT THE SAME RESULT. IT FINALLY STARTED AFTER MORE THAN 5 ATTEMPTS WITH JUMPER CABLES CONNECTED. MOST OTHER TIMES, IT WILL START AFTER ABOUT 2 ATTEMPTS WITHOUT ATTACHING ANY JUMPER CABLES. THIS IS ALSO AFTER THE AUTO START STOP SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK STATING THE BATTERY IS CHARGING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULLY CHARGED.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. I CRANKED IT UP AND NOTICED THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS BESIDE MY SHIFTER ACTUALLY LIT UP! THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT HAD MY DASH LOCKED AT THAT AND WOULDN'T GO OFF TIL I TURNED MY JEEP OFF AND CRANKED IT BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES! I HAVE MY JEEP AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY OR A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET! I PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS JEEP AND I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL! PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS!

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I CAN NOT GO MORE THAN 3,000 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF ON MY AND BEING BONE DRY ON OIL ON THE DIP STICK. I KEEP BEING TOLD THIS PARTICULAR MODEL JUST BURNS A LITTLE EXTRA OIL BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. IT IS SHUTTING OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAYS WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND DO NOT TRUST TO PUT THEM IN THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THE CONTACT CALLED DON MILLER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (5802 ODANA RD, MADISON, WI 53719, (608) 270-5000) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

SERVICE SHIFTER CALLS OUT FAULT

MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE HAS BEEN STALLING DUE TO HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION (PER THE DEALER). THE STALLS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING WHEN BRAKING OR MAKING TURNS. THERE IS NO WARNING, THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF, WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, NEED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND WAIT A COUPLE MINUTES. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN CITY DRIVING. IN TWO SCENARIOS, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND IN ANOTHER, I STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I'VE TAKEN THE JEEP TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SUGGESTED I DO AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST" TO SEE IF THE ENGINE IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED, WHICH ENTAILS ME BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY 1,000 MILES TO CHECK OIL LEVELS (EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT). I'VE ALSO OPENED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER/FIAT WHO SAYS I NEED TO COMPLETE THE CONSUMPTION TEST BEFORE THEY CAN MAKE ANY DETERMINATION. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER/FIAT NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NEEDED.

I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH NO SOLUTION. MY SCREEN ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD HAVE A MESSAGE COME ACROSS IT SAYING "SERVICE SHIFTER" WITH ALL THE PRND-+ LIGHTS COME ON. IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M EITHER DRIVING OR PARKED.
