NHTSA Complaint #11291200 — 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE

MESSAGE "SERVICE SHIFTER" POPS UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND A SERIES OF RED ALERT LIGHTS APPEAR NEXT TO EVERY GEAR ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LEVER. THIS PROBLEM IS RAMPANT AMONG 2017-2018 JEEP CHEROKEES!! THE DEALERS ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM! THEY REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS, THEY REPLACE THE SHIFTERS THEMSELVES, THEY RESET THE COMPUTERS ' AND THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RETURNS! THE WEBSITE HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T68742_DS990296 ALONE CONTAINS THE STORIES OF OVER 80 JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. IMAGINE HOW MANY JEEP OWNERS ACROSS AMERICA ARE SUFFERING WITH THIS ISSUE! JEEP REPLACED THE 2014 SHIFTERS THAT WERE RECALLED (THE ONES THAT KILLED STAR TREK ACTOR ANTON YELCHIN IN 2016) WITH THIS NEW SHIFTER - AND THIS ONE IS JUST AS BAD! THESE VEHICLES MUST BE RECALLED!!
