Consumer Description
I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW OCT 2017. AT ABOUT 20K MILES, ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING MAYBE 50 MPH, THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE 1ST TIME. ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER TURNED RED (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL & DRIVE). A FEW TIMES MY AC WOULD NOT RUN WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOU ARE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I GOOGLED THE REVIEWS AND FOUND THAT FOR THE PAST 3/4 YEARS MAJORITY OF THE JEEP CHEROKEES HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF WHEN YOU CUT THE ENGINE OFF AND CRANK IT BACK UP. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN FOR AN INSPECTION. AT THAT TIME THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON SO THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK NOW. NO EXPLANATION. EVERY TIME I BRING IT IN... THE LIGHT IS NOT ON! THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE!!
