2014 JEEP CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE INTO NEUTRAL AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THEN VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COOLANT INCREASED TO 200 DEGREES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM 24 (1020 BELMONT ST, BROCKTON, MA 02301, (781) 961-1550) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, FOUR SPARK PLUGS, ONE COIL PACK, AN AUTO GRILL SHOTTER, AND JUMPER HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CHECK ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND PARK LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND MY COMPUTER SAID 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION'. NOW MY CAR WON'T SHIFT GEARS OR ACCELERATE. IT HAS 40K MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE PARTIALLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, UP SHIFT, OR OWNSHIFT, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER LIGHTS ON THE DASH INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT OFF THE JEEP. I WAITED A MINUTE THEN STARTED IT BACK UP. THE SERVICE PARKING BRAKE MESSAGE WAS ON THE MESSAGE CENTER, THE ODOMETER IS BLINKING, AND 4WD IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND THEY SHOWED ME THE PARK BRAKE MODULE HAD WATER INTRUSION AND WAS VERY MUCH CORRODED.

BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ON SEVERAL OCASSIONS WITH COMPLAINTS OF VEHICLE JUMPING INTO GEAR. RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BECAUSE VEHICLE WOULDN'T STAY RUNNING AND COULD NOT PUT INTO GEAR. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING OIL. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE OIL COOLER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT IS NOISY AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THAT THE AIR TEMPERATURE AMBIENT SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I GAVE THE GO AHEAD TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLER AND AIR TEMPERATURE AMBIENT SENSOR. TOLD THEM TO HOLD OFF ON REPLACING THE DRIVE SHAFT AS THE REPAIR ALONE FOR THE OIL COOLER AND SENSOR WAS GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY $1,300. I THEN RECEIVED A CALL BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CHANGED THE OIL COOLER AND UPON TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE IT DIDN'T WANT TO START....

THE CAR STALLS WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS THEN JOLTS INTO GEAR MAKING IT FEEL AND SOUND LIKE I'VE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND, IT IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT ACCELERATES EXTREMELY FASTER WHEN I LIGHTLY PUSH THE GAS, IT WILL ALSO DECELERATE AT TIMES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE ELECTRICAL WILL FLASH ALL THE SIGNALS AND TELL ME TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AFTER I FILL MY TANK MOSTLY AND THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT AND JERK UNTIL INPUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC. THE CONTROLS TO THE LIFT GATE DO NOT ALWAYS WORK WHEN PRESSED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID IT WAS A SENSOR AND VALVE BUT THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND ONLY...

WHEN I'M DRIVING MY CAR WILL JUST STALL WITHOUT WARNING UNTIL THE CAR BECOMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 4 TIMES BEGINNING 10-27-18 AND THE LAST TIME WAS 11-08-18 AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIPS DESIGNATED SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT THAT COULD BE FIXED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAD OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR JEEP-CHEROKEE STALLING ON THE FREEWAYS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE STALL ON ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREETS AND I WOULD ONLY GET A FEW FEET FROM HOME AND ONE OF THOSE TIMES THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND ANOTHER TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON FOR DRIVING ON ON HILL OR SOMETHING IN THAT EFFECT.

TRAVELING ON TOWN ROAD. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME LIT UP ON THE CONTROL PANEL WITH A WARNING TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK. ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. GAS PEDAL UNRESPONSIVE. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 15+ MINUTES. VEHICLE FINALLY RESTARTED LIKE NORMAL. TURNED VEHICLE AROUND BY CROSSING OVER DOUBLE YELLOW LINES, PUT IN REVERSE. VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF LEAVING US DISABLED ACROSS ROAD, SAME WARNING AND BATTERY LIGHT ON. ENGINE FINALLY RESTARTED 10 MINUTES LATER. RETURNED THE VEHICLE SAFELY HOME.

MY JEEP CHEROKEE KEEPS REPEATING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. SOMETIMES I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. TODAY AND ON OTHER DAYS, THE JEEP HAS CUT OFF ON ME A FEW TIMES WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND SOMETIMES WHEN TURNING. THE VEHICLE SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES AND FEELS LIKE I AM GETTING HIT IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. TODAY, THE JEEP ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT JUST STOPPED ON ITS OWN. ADDITIONALLY, IT OFTEN SHIFTS GEARS ERRATICALLY AND VERY ROUGH, EVEN JERKING AT TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE...

ON DATE OF INCIDENT VEHICLE FUNCTIONED FINE IN THE MORNING. AT 4:30PM WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE WORK VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. RECEIVED SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES INCLUDING 4WD SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE, PARK BRAKE UNAVAILABLE AND SERVICE SHIFTER. 2 HOURS LATER NOTHING WORKED. TRIED TO JUMP THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. HAD AUTO ZONE TEST BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS FINE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY RAN TESTS FINDING NO CAUSE OR ISSUES. BATTERY PASSES THEIR TESTS. MORNING AFTER I GOT VEHICLE BACK FROM DEALER IT STARTED UP VIA REMOTE START WITH NO ISSUES, TOOK SON TO DAYCARE 7 MINUTES AWAY. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES WENT TO LEAVE DAYCARE (VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF) AND IT DID NOT START. WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START WITH A JUMP. CALLED DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM, WAITING FOR A CALL BACK NOW. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

THERE IS WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND IN THE SPARE TIRE CARGO AREA WHEN IT RAINS. IT IS POOLING UP IN THESE AREAS AND THERE ARE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS RIGHT BY THIS.

THE RADIO AND ALL FUNCTIONS RELATED TO THIS, INCLUDING HEAT/AC, BACK UP CAMERA, ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS, HANDS FREE CALLING, INTERMITANTLY GO OFF. SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR, NEED TO WAIT 15 MINUTES OR MORE BEFORE IT STARTS. OTHER TIMES IT FAILS WHEN DRIVING. JEEP DEALER STATED THE RADIO WENT BAD AND NEEDS REPLACING. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE REGULARLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILED AND THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTING SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEMIDJI CHRYSLER CENTER (LOCATED AT 755 PAUL BUNYAN DR NW, BEMIDJI, MN 56601, (218) 751-8006) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE FOUND. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A FENCE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN...

MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHERE TRACTION CONTROL WOULD ENGAGE WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT WOULD STAY ON UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. THIS PROGRESSED TO AN INSTANCE WHERE I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED WHILE STOPPED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLY CODE WAS TO CHECK WIRE CONNECTIONS, WHICH THEY SAID THEY DID. THE CAR DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT ONE DAY, THEN, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DASHBOARD AND RADIO WOULD START TO CUT OUT BRIEFLY AND COME BACK ON. ONCE I WAS OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED. AT THE NEXT LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I USED A CODE READER AND THERE WERE NO CODES AVAILABLE. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE CAR LOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP CHEROKEE 2014 AWD WITH 60K MILES ON IT. WITHIN IN 6 MONTHS, MY DASHBOARD SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS UNDRIVEABLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS SOFTWARE ISSUE AND FIXED IT. NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER AND I HAD THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN AND IT IS NOW GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION. OFTEN WHEN DRIVING, IT REVS VERY HIGH AND GOES NOWHERE, OR IF I'M CRUISING A PARKING LOT, ITS REVVING VERY HIGH AND WILL JERK INTO ANOTHER GEAR. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I'VE HAD KNOW DRIVE SHAFT BEARING ANDS A NEW RADIO PUT IT. THE BIG ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION AND THE REPEATED TOWS, MISSING WORK, LATE TO WORK, ENGINE SHAKING, GRINDING, AND NOW BEING REPLACED. I'VE OWNED IT MY OWN FOR 1.5 YEARS, AM ALREADY AT THIS POINT. DEALERSHIP WON'T REPLACE IT, JUST TOLD ME I HAVE IT COVERED UNDER WARRANTLY AND OH WELL. THESE...

THE LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON ON THE DASHBOARD I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING OR HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR I TOOK IT TO A AUTO PLACE THEY PUT A THING ON THE CAR AND IT SAID IT WAS THE CLUSTER THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CLUSTER AND I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER PLACE IN MADISON OHIO THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT IT'S NOT FIXED THEY TOLD ME IN ORDER FOR THEM TO SEE IF IT'S THE CLUSTER THE RECALL I WILL HAVE TO PAY A $115.00 DOLLARS. JUST TO CHECK IF IT'S THE RECALL.

I FIRST EXPERIENCED WHAT FELT LIKE MY TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING PROPERLY RIGHT AWAY. I NOTICED IT IN LOWER GEARS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I THEN STARTED TO EXPERIENCE MY ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLING. I WOULD BE GOING SLOW AND I WAS USUALLY TAKING A RIGHT TURN. I WENT TO TURN ON MY CAR AND IT SAID ENGINE FAILURE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO TOW IT TO THEM. I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE REASON MY CAR AHUT OFF WAS BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANY OIL. I HAVE ALL MY RECORDS AND MY OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AT A DEALERSHIP LESS THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR. SO THEY PUT OIL IN IT AND SAID I WAS FINE. WITHIN A WEEK MY CAR DIED TURNING RIGHT ON RAIL ROAD TRACKS IN AN INSTERSECTION. WE HAD TO HAVE A POLICE OFFICER COME AND PUSH...

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENED TODAY 7/26/18 AND 2 OTHER TIMES THIS PAST MONTH. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR OTHER WARNINGS. AFTER SHUTTING OFF NOTHING ON THE VEHICLE WORKS NOT EVEN HAZARD LAMPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE AUTO LOCK FUNCTION LOCKED THE CONTACT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD AN ABNORMAL WINDING NOISE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,935. *TT

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE JUST SHUT DOWN. AFTER JUMPING THE BATTERY AS SOON AS WE TOOK THE CABLES OFF THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET

THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WHILE DRIVING ONCE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, AFTER 4 WEEKS THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO COMPLETELY REWIRE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. CLAIMING IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS WATER INTRUSION.

MY JEEP WHEN I TAKE THE KEY OUT IT DINGS SAYING THE KEY IS IN THE EGNITION WHEN ITS NOT IT WONT LET ME LOCK MY DOORS AND NOW TODAY IT WONT EVEN START MY JEEP IT DONT EVEN TURN ON. AND WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS TRYING TO TAKE OFF TO HARD OR HUSITATES TO GO

A POP-UP MESSAGE APPEARS THAT THE "VEHICLE PHONE REQUIERS SERVICE" THE GPS BECOMES INOPERATIVE AND CAUSES LOSS OF GPS FUNCTION. THESE FAULTS ARE DISCUSSED I SERVICE BULLETIN SB-10058300-8397. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND CAN OCCUR AT ANYTIME. THIS OCCURRED WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND BUT WAS REPORTED TO JEEP 3 DAYS AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. IT WAS INTERMITTENT AT THE TIME AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A COMPUTER GLITCH. IT IS NOW SO UNRELIABLE THAT IT IS USELESS. JEEP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO SUPPORT REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE WHICH THEY KNOW EXISTS. THEIR U-CONNECT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TELLING ME TERE IS A SOFTWARE FIX FOR THIS TO PUT ME OFF FOR SIX MONTHS BUT HAVE NOT PRODUCED ANYTHNG WHICH COULD FIX THIS. IT IS TIME FOR A RECALL ON THIS ITEM SO THAT THEY ARE FORCED TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. BY THE WAY EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE AIR BAGS, CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED 'CHECK AIR BAGS SYSTEM ". THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER (BAXTER CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE OF BELLVIEW, NEBRASKA) WHOM INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT WITHOUT DIAGNOSING THE VEHICLE AN EXACT FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO INFORM THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A RODENT NEST INSIDE THE ENGINE NEAR THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND THERE WERE SIGNS OF CHEWING ON THE WIRES TO THE AIR BAGS SENSORS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AGO, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE HATCH WITH THE KEY FOB. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT COULD NOT UNLOCK THE VEHICLE DOORS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000. *TT

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, LUNGES AND GOES AGAIN IN A JERKING/ HESITATING MANNER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER PUT IN PARK AND RE SELECTED A GEAR. WHEN DOING SO IT MAKES A HORRIFIC GRINDING NOISE AND HAS NO POWER. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE 2014 FOR A "BAD BATTERY" AFTER BOTH OF THESE REPLACEMENTS WITHIN 4 MONTHS WE HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED THESE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I STRESS THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITH THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND ALSO THE SECOND TIME FOR THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT.

LEFT VISOR NO POWER ALSO GARAGE DOOR OPENER NO POWER WIRES SMELLED LIKE THEY WERE BURNING WHILE DRIVING JEEP LATER I FOUND OUT NO POWER LEFT VISOR & GARAGE DOOR OPENER NO POWER

I PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AS USUALLY (SO VEHICLE WAS PARKED). ON TOP OF MY GARAGE THERE IS MY NEIGHBOR'S APARTMENT AND MY APARTMENT IS ON TOP OF THE NEIGHBOR'S APARTMENT. I AM COMPLETELY SURE THAT, WHEN I CAME HOME THE NIGHT BEFORE, I HAD SHUT OFF THE CAR (USING THE PUSH BUTTON- THE CAR HAS A KEYLESS IGNITION SYSTEM) BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT THE CAR TURNED ON BY ITSELF. WE DON'T KNOW FOR HOW LONG THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT IT RAN ENOUGH TIME TO FILL MY NEIGHBOR'S APT. WITH FUMES AND ALSO THE FUMES REACHED MY APT. UPSTAIRS WHERE I WAS SLEEPING WITH MY DAUGHTER. THE TWO OF US (MY DAUGHTER AND I) WERE LUCKY BECAUSE I HAD ALL MY WINDOWS OPEN (IT WAS HOT THAT NIGHT) BUT MY NEIGHBOR ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 3 WEEKS. AT LEAST 19 DEATHS HAVE...

SAME ISSUE BUT THE CAR LET US DRIVE IT HOME. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN ACTING UP SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED IT. IT'S AN AUTOMATIC SHIFT, BUT IT IS VERY ROUGH, THE CAR HESTIATES WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS. NOT SURPISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT ON A 3-YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES - PITYFUL.

JEEP RECALL AS I WAS EXITING OFF THE FREEWAY, I SUDDENLY NOTICED A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PETAL TO ACCELERATE A BIT IN ORDER TO GET TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE. WHEN I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT HAD SHUT DOWN AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE HE VEHICLE HAD ALL SHUT DOWN AS WELL. THE CAR WAS STILL ROLLING BUT IT WAS NO LONGER TURNED ON.

SERVICE DEPT INDICATED THAT IRREGARDLESS OF THE TAIL GATE NOT CLOSING THAT THE BATTERY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BECAUSE THE LIGHTS TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY. NOT TRUE, YET HE INSISTED THEY WERE TO ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE LIFT GATE AND REPROGRAMMED THE VEHICLE. A WEEK LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND WE SCHEDULED YET ANOTHER APPT ONLY TO FIND THE DEALERSHIP NEEDED TO ORDER A PART AND IT WOULD BE IN THE NEXT DAY. WOKE UP THIS AM ONLY TO FIND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD BECAUSE THE LIFT GATE WOULD NOT CLOSE.

JEEP DEALER IN SARASOTA HAS ASKED THAT WE BRING IT IN BUT SINCE THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE SO NO REPLACEMENT OF PARTS WAS DONE. CALLS TO CHRYSLER HAVE NOT RESOLVED ANYTHING. WITH INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF RADIO/BACKUP SYSTEM AND CENTER CONSOLE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL BE AFFECTED THE NEXT TIME THERE IS A...

WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND MESSAGE ON DASH SAYS "CAR MUST BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO SHIFT." VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WE HAVE HAD IT TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLVE. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR'S MODEL THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF. HOWEVER, THE COMMON RESOLUTION IS DEALERSHIP STILL CLAIMING AN OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED. MOST RECENTLY OUR JEEP WAS 500 MILES UNDER THE DEALERSHIP'S RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE. I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S LIFE IF THIS STALL HAPPENS WHEN CROSSING BUSY HIGHWAYS IN TOWN. *TR

I HAD JUST PICKED UP MY JEEP 2014 CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING THE S-55 RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE. (MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED NOT TO NEED THE NEW TRANSAXLE WIRING HARNESS PARTS, ONLY THE SOFTWARE UPDATE.) UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE BATTERY LIGHT AND ALARM CHIME CAME ON WHILE MAKING A U-TURN AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD AT LOW SPEED. AT THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT, I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF STEERING AS SLOWING TO A STOP. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE LEFT TURN AS THE STEERING RE-ENGAGED UPON ACCELERATION. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, AS STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN AS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND SPEED DECELERATED TO A STOP. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP VEHICLE BACK THE SHORT DISTANCE TO THE DEALERSHIP BY KEEPING OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND USING PARKING...
