NHTSA Complaint #10936358 — 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE

2015 JEEP TRAIL HAWK APPROXIMATELY 1ST 10,000 MILES ELECTRONICS MULTIPLE ALARMS NO 4 WHEEL DRIVE, PARKING BRAKE ERROR, CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF SOME STEERING, HEAVY... CAR IS SHIFTING CHAOTICALLY. CHECK ENGINE NO VISIBLE ISSUES. TOOK TO DEALER SHIP THE NEXT DAY THEY RE-FLASHED SOFTWARE KEPT IT FOR THE NIGHT NO OTHER ISSUES UNTIL 12/11/2016 WHEN A DUPLICATE OF THE FIRST EVENT OCCURRED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SAME THING AS REPORTED BEFORE, PLUS OIL LEAK (NO OIL IN MY GARAGE UPPER OIL LEAK) AND THE DEALERSHIP COMPLETED A TRANSMISSION RE-CALL REPAIR TO FIX TRANSMISSION ERRORS ON THE 9 SPEED. ALL REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY TO DATE ONLY COST TO ME IS RENTAL CARS AND LOST TIME AT WORK. 12/19 DUPLICATE AGAIN OF TWO EVENTS ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE CAR WAS HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING ON TWO OCCASIONS TODAY BUT DROVE FINE. ON ONE OCCASION THE MOTOR STARTER WOULD NOT STOP ENGAGING THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD NOT START. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE, AND I WAS NOT PRESSING THE START BUTTON, IT WAS JUST STUCK IN START. I PUMPED THE BREAKS AND HIT THE ENGINE BUTTON AND IT STOPPED MAYBE 20 SECONDS LATER. THE CAR ALWAYS RETURNS TO NORMAL AFTER IT SITS FOR A FEW HOURS ALL THE ALARMS GO AWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BUT IT TESTS DRIVES FINE. LAST RECALL NOTED THE SAME ISSUE AND MY RECALL REPAIR ON 12/12 WAS TO FIX THE ISSUE, AT THIS POINT FEEL I AM PRETTY LUCKY TO BE ON SIDE STREET A FEW MILES FROM HOME WHEN ERRORS OCCUR NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. JUST CHECKED THE ENGINE AND FLUIDS ALL OK WILL TAKE TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. TOOK PICTURES OF THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND BELOW THE CAR NO LEAKS NO FLUID ISSUES SEEMS TO BE A SOFTWARE OR PROGRAMMING ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT DON'T THINK THEY HAVE MUCH CONTROL OVER THE PROBLEM. *TR
