2014 JEEP CHEROKEE Engine Problems

MY JEEP IS POPPING OUT OF GEAR, TELLS ME TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT. I WENT TO DODGE TO IND OUT IF IT COULD BE FIXED AND THEY SAID SINCE ITS NOT APART OF THE RECALL THAT WE WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS JEEP FOR THE 6 CYLINDER 2014, ITS FOR THE SAME THING MY JEEP IS DOING. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING ALMOST EVERYDAY, IM AFRAID MY VEHICLE WON'T TURN ON ONE DAY AND IM GONNA GET HIT BY ANOTHER CAR OR WORSE.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS, CAUSING EXCESSIVE RPMS, ABRUPT AND JOLTING SHIFTS, AND SUDDEN VARIATIONS IN RPMS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. HAVE TIRED MULTIPLE TIMES GOING TO DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE SOLVED, BUT HAVE ONLY BEEN GIVEN NEW UPDATES WHICH HAVE FAILED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

AFTER FUELING, THE JEEP WILL START SURGING, THE IDLING BECOMES ERRATIC AND THEN IT WILL STALL OUT WITH THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON, SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON, THE D ON THE IP FLASHES AND WHEN PLACING GEAR SELECTOR FROM D TO P, THE JEEP MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHICH CAN BE FELT THRU THE FLOOR. SHIFTING INTO ANY OTHER GEAR DOES THE SAME. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING NEW. WE NEVER TOP OFF THE FUEL TANK AND TAKE CARE TO FILL UP IF TANK SHOWS 1/4 FULL. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER, AT LEAST TWICE, TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION "FLASHED" BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING. EACH TIME THE DEALER (GREENVILLE CHRYSLER, GREENVILLE, TX) TRIES TO CHARGE US A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WHICH WE ADAMANTLY REJECT AFTER THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME. JUST 4 DAYS AGO, MY WIFE WAS TURNING LEFT AT...

I STARTED MY CAR EARLY IN THE MORNING TO GO TO WORK AND AFTER A COUPLE OF FEET OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. BATTERY IS SUFFICIENTLY CHARGED. TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, DROVE A COUPLE MORE BLOCKS AND IT DID IT AGAIN, THEN AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY.

ON 3 OCCASIONS SINCE OBTAINING THIS CAR IT HAS STALLED, STRUGGLED WITH POWER, AND WOULD SUDDENLY STOP WHILE MOVING IN TRAFFIC. THE DASHBOARD WOULD LIGHT UP, THE CAR WOULD GIVE SEVERAL MESSAGES AND WOULD REFUSE TO START. THE MOST DANGEROUS TIME WAS WHEN TRAVELING AT 35MPH THERE WAS A LOUD BOOM AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED JERKING ME VISCIOUSLY AND FORCING SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON BRAKES, NEARLY FORCING AN ACCIDENT. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITH SUDDEN STOPS AND THE FIRST TIME IT JUST WOULDN'T GAIN POWER AND WAS SHIFTING VERY HARD. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND I HAVE DRIVEN LOANERS MORE THAN THIS VEHICLE I PURCHASED IN JANUARY. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND WILL NOT TAKE A ROAD TRIP BECAUSE OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP!!!

CAR LITERALLY STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING, LOCKING STEERING AND NO POWER BRAKES TO STOP. HAS HAPPENED TWICE, WHILE TURNING BOTH DIRECTIONS. OTHERS ONLINE HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, AND CRASHED AS A RESULT. JEEP DEALER BLAMES OIL LEVEL, TRANSMISSION, AND SOFTWARE, BUT NO FIXES HAVE HELPED. CURRENTLY INSTALLING NEW TRANSMISSION DUE TO HORRIBLE SHIFTING. DEALER STATES OIL LEVEL CAN BE 1/4" LOW ON THE DIPSTICK (WITHIN THE SAFE ZONE) AND IT CAN MAKE THE CAR QUIT RUNNING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY! MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES! THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR THAT MUST BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY.

3RD TIME SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE.NO WARNING I TURN IT OF WONT CRANK TUNR OVER NOTHING.LIGHTS STILL WORKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED AND THE ENGINE REVVED AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE RPMS INCREASED TO HIGH. THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1800 W 104TH AVE, WESTMINSTER, CO 80234, (720) 907-0928), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED AND THE OIL WAS LOW. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE AN OIL CHANGE WAS COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. TAKEN TO STETLER JEEP IN YORK PA 3 TIMES AND THORNTON JEEP IN RED LION, PA 2 TIMES. THEY WILL DO A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" OR BLAME IT ON THE OIL BEING LOW OR OIL GETTING PAST THE OIL FILTER. THEY WILL SAY IT'S FIXED, IT WILL WORK FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE ISSUE WILL REOCCUR. CAR WILL STALL/SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND A TRANSMISSION SERVICE MESSAGE COMES UP AND THE CAR WILL BEEP/RING. CAR WILL SOME TIMES WORK AGAIN IF RESTARTED AND SOMETIMES BE INOPERABLE FOR UP TO 25 MINUTES, LEAVING YOU STRANDED ON ROADS AND HIGHWAYS AND UNABLE TO MOVE IT TO SIDE. JEEP DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX AND JUST KEEP SAYING IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE, WHICH THEY ARE THE ONES DOING. THIS IS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS AND IS DANGEROUS. JEEP IS DISMISSIVE OF THEIR VEHICLE JUST SHUTTING OFF...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A CLUNKING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THREE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE CONTACT RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS FRACTURED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (BRUBAKER DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP, 300 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

VEHICLE DOES NOT START'- INITIALLY SEEMS BATTERY RELATED, BUT BATTERY CHECKS OKAY AT TWO DIFFERENT PARTS RETAILERS. FINALLY GOT A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE ON THE LED READOUT ON THE DASHBOARD. BUT PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT UNLESS IT ACTS UP IN THEIR POSSESSION. SOME OWNERS IN AN ONLINE FORUM REPORT SIMILAR ISSUES ACROSS A NUMBER OF MODEL YEARS. PLEASE HELP.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT'S HAPPENED. AFTER I FILL UP A TANK LOAD OF GAS, THE CAR WANTS TO LUNGE FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A STOP. IT DOES A FEW JOLTS BEFORE IT PICKS UP SPEED. TODAY, WHEN I CRANKED IT, IT STALLED. I TURNED IT OFF THEN CRANKED IT AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE. THEN I PULLED OUT THE DRIVEWAY AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE DOWN THE STREET (35 MPH). WHEN I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN, THE CAR SAID 'SHIFT TO PARK TO SHIFT GEARS.' I SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO PARK, WAITED A MINUTE, THEN BACK TO DRIVE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON, SHIFTED TO DRIVE THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE. I GOT UP TO 45 MPH AND APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. THE CAR SAID 'SHIFT TO PARK TO SHIFT GEARS.' AT THE STOP SIGN, I SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO PARK, WAITED...

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRIPS ARE OVER 45 MINUTES. WHILE SERVICE ENGINE IS LIT UP, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER TURNING ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON, CAR WILL THEN ACCELERATE. THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CODE WAS P1DA9. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THIS CODE AT THE MOMENT. CODE WAS CLEARED AND AFTER ANOTHER TRIP, THE SAME CODE CAME UP.

1. THE CAR SHIFTS REALLY HARD INTO GEAR AS I AM DRIVING. NEXT ISSUE THE DOOR ELECTRICALLY JUST STOPPED WORKING

WHILE ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE ENGAGED IN TO PARK. MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT SLOW DOWN TO A ROLL. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE BECAME IDLE.

AROUND 4:30 PM, AFTER JUST A FEW SECONDS OF LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, A MESSAGE CAME ON THAT STATED I NEEDED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK BEFORE I COULD SHIFT GEARS AND THEN MY BATTERY LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK & THEN SHUT IT OFF. RESTARTED IT, BUT STRUGGLED TO START.. ATTEMPTED TO RESTART A THIRD TIME BUT WAS DEAD. TURNED THE KEY TO RUN TO SEE WHAT LIGHTS STAYED ON THE DASHBOARD THE BATTERY WAS STILL ON WHILE THE ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. AFTER WAITING ABOUT A HALF HOUR, MY FATHER IN LAW WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME A JUMP. CAR STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE GET THE BATTERY REPLACED. HOWEVER I READ LAST NIGHT SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, WITH THE BATTERY NOT BEING THE ISSUE SO MY HUSBAND WILL BE GETTING THE PREVIOUS BATTERY WE HAD, TESTED THIS WEEKEND.

THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO HESITATE AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL GO INTO A NEUTRAL STATE, BUT THE LIGHTS WILL NOT SHOW THAT IT IS IN NEUTRAL. THE CAR WILL ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARD DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE. YOU CANNOT SHIFT, WHEN YOU DO TRY TO SHIFT, THE CAR WILL JOLT LIKE THE ENGINE IS GOING TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON, SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE WAITING EACH TIME CLEARS THE PROBLEM. JEEP CAN NOT REPRODUCE THIS IT SO THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. WILL GET A MESSAGE ON DASH STATING TO SERVICE TRASMISSION AND PARKING BREAK. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES THAT I HAVE DOCUMENTED BY PICTURES AND VIDEO ON MY PHONE HOWEVER, HAS HAPPENED A LOT MORE. SPECIFIC DATES DOCUMENTED ARE 11/19/17, 11/21/17, 11/29/17, 12/13/18, 4/2/19.

VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYING "PARK TO SHIFT GEAR". HAD BATTERY REPLACED AS THAT IS WHAT LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP STATED ISSUE WAS. PROBLEM ACTUALLY WORSENED AFTER THIS. *TR

THIS CAR CONTINUES TO TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING! TODAY IT TURNED OFF ON ME ON AN INTERSECTION! THE CAR JERKED, STARTED TO SHAKE & THEN MANY LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE BATTERY LIGHT, THE BRAKE LIGHT, MANY MORE (PLEASE SEE PICTURE ATTACHED) I BOUGHT THE CAR AT CARMAX. HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, GOT THE CAR SERVICED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW, 4 MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED. IN NOVEMBER, THEY INFORMED ME THE ISSUE WAS THE CAR FUEL INJECTOR & A BAD SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. TODAY'S ISSUES IS STILL UNKNOWN, AS THE CAR HAS TO BE SENT OFF FOR EVALUATION. BUT TODAY WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION FOR ME! I WOULD HATE THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR!

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 9:30PM ON WEDNESDAY FROM CLASS BACK HOME (12-15 MIN DRIVE) ON A BUSY HIGHWAY (GA 400). I HEAR A DING AND LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE FROM 65 MPH, I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR STAYED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AND THAT THERE WAS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE PARK SHIFT. THE D LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT ALSO BEGAN TO BLINK; THE VEHICLEE CASE TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON THE HIGHWAY, I HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO COME AND BLOCK THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE SOMEONE MOVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AGAIN IT BEGAN TO MOVE BACKWARDS THIS TIME. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN WHICH MY JEEP BEGAN TO DECELERATE, THE FIRST TIME WAS A FEW MONTHS...

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. IN THE TWO YEARS SINCE I'VE OWNED MY CAR, I'VE EXPERIENCED 30+ INSTANCES IN WHICH MY CAR STOPS WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION. IT'S HAPPENED WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, AND JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER TYPE OF ROAD POSSIBLE. IT USUALLY OCCURS AFTER I MAKE A TURN OR COME TO A HARD STOP. THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY, AND COMPLETELY RANDOMLY, COME TO A STOP. THE WHEEL WILL NO LONGER WORK, NOR WILL THE ENGINE. IT COMES WITH NO WARNING. I WILL THEN HAVE TO TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET IT IN MOTION AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THE ONLY SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, THOUGH I AM NOT QUITE DUE FOR ONE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE...

AFTER EACH TIME OF RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE, DOESN'T WANT TO RUN; VEHICLE ASKS TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK AND WE TRY AND PULL OVER OFF ON A BUSY 6 LANE ROADWAY. SCREEN SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION AFTER STALLING. THEN THE VEHICLE GOT STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. WEREN'T SURE IF WE WOULD MAKE IT HOME. CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP IN ANY WAY.

OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS CRACKED AND LEAKING OIL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SUDDENLY AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIELDS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM ASHEVILLE (255 SMOKEY PARK HIGHWAY, ASHEVILLE, NC 28806, (828) 667-5213) THREE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE NEW VARIABLE VALVE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED DURING THE SECOND VISIT. DURING THE FIRST VISIT, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL AND TOPPED IT OFF. THE CONTACT HAD A CODE READER, WHICH LOCATED CODES P1042 AND P0302 FOR CYLINDER MISFIRE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST EVEN THOUGH SHE LOCATED THE CODES WITH HER OWN CODE READER. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY...

OIL LEAK FROM CRACKED OIL COOLER. COULD CAUSE FIRE. POOR/DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND BAD LOCATION NEAR HEAT. NEEDED AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT. MANY OTHERS NEEDED REPLACEMENT ALSO. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE WAS NO HELP.

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.

MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER FUELING UP MY VEHICLE MY CAR WILL START TO SHAKE AND SPUTTER AND JUST STALL. HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY AND ALMOST CAUSED A BAD WRECK. MOST RECENTLY IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON LOCAL STREETS. DEALER KEEPS SAYING THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT BUT I VIDEOTAPED THE ISSUE. ALSO WHEN FUELING UP THE VEHICLE IT GIVES A PROBLEM AND TAKES FOREVER TO FUEL UP AND SPITS GAS OUT AND BACK ON TO ME . I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE WITH MY FAMILY AND FCA DOESN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE AND SAYS JUST FILL THE TANK UP ONLY 3/4 .. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE !!

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WILL SAY SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND GET STUCK IN FIRST GEAR WITHOUT LETTING ME GO ANY FASTER THAN WHAT I WAS GOING. IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK NORMALLY AGAIN, I WOULD NEED TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY CAR. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS.

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....

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD COMPUTER SCANNED. CODE P0520 ENGINE OIL SENSOR FAILURE WAS DETECTED. CALLED JEEP WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS SENSOR IS LOCATED UNDER THE PLENUM AND INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH BOLTS TO THE ENGINE HEADS. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT.

AFTER TRANSMISSION RECALL REPAIR, ENGINE REPLACED DUE TRANSMISSION RECALL REPAIR 3RD TIME, VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH WHEN IN NEUTRAL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND JEEP DIED. THE VEHICLE STARTED AFTER A MOMENT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. STILL HAVING SAME ISSUES AFTER TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AND A NEW ENGINE DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP RESETTING THE COMPUTER INSTEAD OF REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION. SO NEW ENGINE AND REPAIRED TRANSMISSION, STILL HAVING ISSUES. CONSTANT ISSUE WITH THE JEEP IDLING ROUGHLY, SOMETIMES NOT STARTING OR STALLING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

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...

ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AND IT STUDDED UNDER LOW SPEEDS

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON MY DASH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND A MESSAGE TO "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR". CAR WAS HARD TO START AFTERWARDS, ISSUE HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES ON THE WAY BACK HOME (LESS THAN 1 MILE). CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. HOPEFULLY WILL STILL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

OIL FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY IS LEAKING. YOU CAN SEE OIL LEAKING OUT OF A PORT WHILE RUNNING. OIL IS PUDDLING UP AND RUNNING DOWN THE MOTOR. THIS CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE OR A FIRE.. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED; I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS STIL UNDER WARRANTY. DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY HAZARD ALSO THE TRANSMISSION ON OCCASION SHIFTS REALLY HARD WHEN MOVING FROM ONE GEAR TO THE NEXT.

I WAS IN THE TURNING LANE TO TURN INTO A GROCERY STORE AND WHEN I ACCELERATED TO TURN MY JEEP ACCELERATED THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, SERVICE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT,THERE WERE SEVERAL LIGHTS THAT CAME ON AND MY JEEP WAS STILL RUNNING BUT STOPPED ACCELERATING AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE STORE ON A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD AND I WAS PUSHING THE GAS BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE I COASTED INTO THE START OF THE PARKING LOT WHERE IT WAS NOW TELLING ME TO SHIFT MY CAR INTO PARK AS I DID THEN SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE AND TRIED TO FINISH PULLING INTO THE STORE PARKING LOT AND STILL NOTHING. SO I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK SHUT IT OFF SAT FOR A MIN TURNED IT BACK ON PLACED IT BACK IN DRIVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND JERKED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MESSAGES "SHIFT TO PARK" AND "DESIRED GEAR" WERE DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (ROCKWALL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 970 E INTERSTATE 30, ROCKWALL, TX 75087, (469) 698-2100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTING PAD AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 35190705. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,730. **TR UPDATED 11/19/18*JB

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THIS CAR HAS JUST STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION. DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIGHT UP, GET TRANSMISSION WARNING. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO BE TOLD THAT IT NEEDED AN UPDATE ON THE COMPUTER. IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING A CAR AND NOT KNOW WHEN OR IF IT WILL SHUT OFF, AND THAT AN "UPDATE" WOULD CAUSE SUCH AN INCIDENT. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED IT. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO JEEP AND THEY JUST SAID TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP SO THEY COULD RUN TESTS ON IT, THIS WAS AFTER IT HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS. IT SEEMS LIKE MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MODEL CAR. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE WITH THESE ISSUES. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL IN THIS...

9-SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION WHICH MINE HAS ROUGH, DELAYED OR SUDDEN SHIFTING OR FAILURE TO SHIFT CONDITIONS WITH GRINDING OR OTHER LOUD NOISE DURING SHIFTING ' HARSH ENGAGEMENT OF GEARS; SUDDEN OR HARSH ACCELERATION/DECELERATION; SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER; PREMATURE TRANSMISSION WEAR OR FAILURE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, I WAS ON A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING 10MPH. THE DASH SCREEN STATED, "PLACE IN 'P' THEN SELECT GEAR." I THEN PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TURNING THE IGNITION BUT IT DID NOT START. I HAD TO GET A STRANGER TO JUMP START MY CAR AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHILE PULLING INTO A GAS STATION ON A CITY STREET AND IT RANDOMLY STALLED. I TURNED THE IGNITION AND IT STARTED UP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THANKFULLY ON BOTH OCCASIONS THERE HAS BEEN NO CAR DRIVING BEHIND ME.

CAR STARTED TO LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL, GIVING MORE GAS ONLY MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. WAS NOT ABLE TO GO OVER 45 MPH UNLESS GOING DOWN HILL. HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 6 MONTHS AGO AND WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS TIME ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS, SERVICE PARK BRAKE.

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...
