2014 JEEP CHEROKEE Steering Problems

My car is safely in my driveway. It only has 18,000 miles driven. It became stuck in wheel drive, greatly reducing my ability to drive the vehicle. The 2014 Cherokee is known for PTU failures in which the unit overheats or leaks fluid into the electronics, causing the system to lock in 4WD and display "Service 4WD" or "4WD System Unavailable". Will my dealership fix this problem under a past recall?

Rear tires locked up in reverse. While in gear they lock up randomly. Car shut off and broke down while driving on expressway and lost control. No accident but could’ve been bad. 4x4 light on says svc. Mechanic says shows signs of new safety recall 02C? Talked to Jeep dealership and they weren’t aware of such recall on this model. Need help on who to contact and what to do.

The service parking brake warning pops up on start up (P)!, along with the engine light and the traction control light. A warning that says service parking brake appears, around with a service transmission warning, and occasionally another message saying 4wd unavailable at the moment. Another message says restart car in park at zero speed, which the car is already in park & not moving. The car is not drivable when all of these are on. If I attempt to change gears, the gear light flashes & when the car shifts gears it is very loud. It is also hard to turn the wheel. The emergency park has also come on, in it's own, while driving. Almost killed me on the highway. Had also done it in my driveway, when starting to pull out. Also when the engine auto shifts, it makes like a whining noise. The engine sounds to...

The vehicle turns off while running, all lights on dashboard turn OFF and the vehicle dies completely. I lose power steering, brakes everything just turns off. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop I can put in parking again and the vehicle turns back on. This has happened 3 times already, luckily I have been driving it where there is no a lot of traffic, but no longer drive it on the highway it would not be safe. It happened after the light SVC 4WD turned on.

There is 3 things going on with this Jeep. First thing the service shifter is on. Second the power steering will go out and come back on at different times. Lastly if you shut the car off it may not start again for awhile and you will get a message on the dash that says engine to warm to start. I contacted Jeep they said to take it in. We aren’t in a position to just Let them keep running diagnostics on our car we have a code reader and it is not throwing any codes. Our Jeep started acting up after they did the one recall On it.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that after shifting to park(P) with the engine running, the contact exited the vehicle and offloaded groceries. After returning to the vehicle and shifting into drive(D), the steering wheel seized and became difficult to operate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the battery was charged; however, after diagnosing the vehicle, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle then performed without failure for four days however, the failure then recurred. The vehicle was taken to another dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the brake pads needed to be replaced and the power steering module also needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

My 2014 Jeep has been experiencing intermittent shut downs, the dash goes dead at random times for a few seconds and then comes back on the issue continues. This issue started in December 2021 during that time I was driving at night and the dash, exterior lights and interior lights started flickering. Now this issue occurs 90% of the time when I drive, sometimes when the dash goes off different warning lights come on, TCS, SRS, Power steering and if the vehicle is traveling below 5mph it sometimes dies completely. Battery was replaced 1 year ago. The middle screen on the dash gets super dim and it appears to still be on if you look closely at night but the dials are frozen at the current speed and rpm. My mechanic tested the battery connection and there is nothing loose that would cause this.

The vehicle speed accelerates on its own when trying to come to a complete stop which almost caused me to rear end another car at a traffics light, the powertrain is completely off and creates an unsafe riding experience which impacts the steering and control of the vehicle, stalls randomly. There is rough shifting with the transmission, which jerks the car periodically. When driving at a speed above 60 entire vehicle shimmer and shakes uncontrollably, feels like the tires are getting ready to detach from the vehicle when driving at higher speeds and mostly when trying to come to a complete stop.

This is a flat tow vehicle that creates a death wobble when being towed behind RV, jeep paid for first fix and has worked for 3 yrs. now death wobble is back.

Wife and I were towing our 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk behind our 28,000 LB Motorhome and it began to shake and wobble so bad we had to pull over. We got 35 miles from our Home base in Ohio. Sat on the side of the road about 20 min and took off again toward an exit about a mile ahead. It did not wobble so we drove on. About 30 miles later it did it again. After it did it 5 times in 80 miles we decided to have the Jeep hauled home and put away for the Winter and we left for the South.

After filling my jeep with gas this will cause the jeep to stalls then shuts off and all kinds of warnings and code appear. It will radom shut off and is extremely dangerous. Dealership could not diagnose . This is happening regularly. Goggle says many others have experienced this problem as well

On several occasions returning from Montana to Missouri, while flat towing our Cherokee behind our Motorhome, when driving on uneven pavement (typically when entering construction zones) the Jeep goes into a terrible wobble which can only be haulted by completely stopping. On one occasion there was no shoulder to pull off and with only one remaining lane of traffic, we stopped all traffic behind us to remedy the situation. Only by the grace of God where we not involved in a collision OR the cause of one. I have just learned in researching this site, that this has been a known and ongoing problem. Jeep needs to be forced to at minimum send warnings to all owners where this potential problem exists.

Transmission shifted from D to N by its self as I was driving. Luckily hadn’t gotten on the highway yet. A minute later I would have been in the highway when it did it. It said “shift to p” the. It said to service transmission and a number of other things then would not shift after I FINALLY got it to engage. This is the second or third time this has happened! When going around a bend on a highway doing highway speed if I hit a bump I get a very bad vibration in the steering wheel and it makes the car swerve to the point of possibly wrecking. Have taken it to dealership (Jeff Wyler Batavia OH) for the same issue numerous times and they say they can’t find anything every time but there is clearly something wrong with it! I used to stand behind Jeep. I no...

CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING TO FULL CAPACITY. SHUTTERED AND STALLED 3 TIMES AFTER REFUELING TANK. THE CAR GIVES OFF MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS RANGING FROM TRANSMISSION TO BATTERY, DESPITE THE TRANSMISSION AND BATTERY BEING PERFECTLY FINE. ONCE THE CAR BEGINS TO STALL, THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND ALL POWER IS LOST. THE CAR MUST BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED, SOMETIMES IT STRUGGLES TO RESTART

JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM PRIVATE OWNER, I ASKED OF ANY RECALLS, SHE TOLD ME NONE AT ALL. DIDN'T EVEN HAVE IT A WEEK AND TRANSMISSION STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND COULDN'T REMOVE THE KEYS.

I WENT TO GET MY OIL CHANGED AND WAS TOLD AND SHOWED (IN PICTURES TAKEN BY THE ATTENDANT) THAT MY VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL OIL LEAKS. THE ATTENDANT ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE BECAUSE OF THE OIL LEAKS. I WAS THEN ASKED IF I HAD HAD ANY MECHANICAL WORK DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND I REPLIED NO SINCE I HADN'T HAD ANY WORK DONE OTHER THAN MAINTENANCE. THE MANAGER THEN TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD BE VERY ANGRY AND TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WERE NOT PUT TOGETHER PROPERLY WHICH IS WHY I HAVE SEVERAL OIL LEAKS.

DRIVING THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK IN POSITION, MOVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN SERVICING. SEVERAL CODES CAME UP AND WERE ADDRESSED BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. CODES WERE U0131, U0418, U0131-87, U0415 AND U0428. NO ISSUE UNTIL CAR WAS SERVICED FOR THE LATEST RECALL. CAR WITH DEALER. SAY IT'S A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REPAIR. NOT ONCE HAVE I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR IN 4YRS UNTIL DEALER SERVICED IT FOR STEERING WHEEL RECALL.

VECHICAL LOST SPEED, STALLED, NO POWER. WILL NOT EXCELL. ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC LIGHT ON. ON A CITY STREET IN MOTION. IT LOOSES STEERING AND WILL STALL ALSO. I REPLACED THE BATTERY.

FEBRUARY 18, 2020, WHILE DRIVING I-95 N, DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH OUR VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING. A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, IT BEEPED, AND SIGNALED "SERVICE POWER STEERING". IMMEDIATELY OUR VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JOLTED. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR TO THE SIDE TO THE ROAD. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND REGAINED POWER STEERING. TALK ABOUT A SCARY EXPERIENCE, WE WOULD LOSE AND REGAIN POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF CURVES, ABRUPTLY JOLTING AND SHAKING THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. WE MADE IT TO THE DEALER AND LEFT IT FOR DIAGNOSTIC. FEBRUARY 22,2020, WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP HAVING OUR ISSUE "REPAIRED. $3700 DOLLARS LATER, WE FOUND OUT THAT OUR GEARBOX RACK AND PINION HAD GONE BAD CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOTE, THE CHEROKEE BARELY HAS 37K MILES ON IT! IN FEAR OF LOOSING POWER...

AS I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AROUND 9PM I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WENT OFF AT SOME POINT, BUT AS I APPROACHED A CURVY BRIDGE I HAD TO SLIGHTLY TURN WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO FOLLOW THE CURVE, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT HARD LIKE I COULDNT FULLY STEER THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS VERY SCARY AS AGAIN IT WAS ON A CURVY BRIDGE AND VERY DARK ON THIS ROADWAY. WAS ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY BUT ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYED ON. NEXT DAY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET TO MY PARENTS HOUSE WHEN AS HE BACKED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY THE WHEEL LOCKED AND HE COULDNT STEER. SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND TURNED THE CORNER ONLY TO HAVE IT COMPLETELY LOCK AGAIN AS HE...

MY DAUGHTERS JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT 2.4L AT 62000 MILES HAS SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STOPPED ENTERING CITY STREETS AND WHEN BRAKING HARD TO AVOID ANOTHER CAR. WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS AND SUDDENLY ITS STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD TO STEER . THE DASH COMES ON WITH AN ERROR ON SCREEN SAYING, "CAR MUST BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO SHIFT." TURNING THE KEY DOES NOTHING UNTIL WE TRY MULTIPLE TIMES.

MY VEHICLE BETWEEN 50,000 TO 62500 MILES HAVE BEEN SHUTTING DOWN WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STOPPED ENTERING HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS AND SUDDENLY ITS STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I CANNOT STEER VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR MYSELF TO GET ALTERNATOR REPLACED, CABIN FILTER, NEW SPARK PLUGS, AND SEVERAL BATTERIES AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE 17 MONTHS.

WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65-75 AND THERE'S DIPS IN THE ROAD MY STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT TIRES SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE IT STOP.

ENGINE SEEMS TO BUDGE THE CAR ALONG WITH A POPPING NOISE WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTS. ICONS APPEAR ON MY DASH, GEAR BLINKS ON DASHBOARD AND GEAR SHIFTER, STIFF STEERING WHEEL, HARD TIME STARTING UP AND AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED ON THE ENGINE SOMETIMES CUTS OFF.

WAS DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE AND A STEERING WHEEL WITH AN EXCLAMATION ICON POPPED UP ON THE DASH AND I RECEIVED A WARNING TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING. THEN A TRACTION ICON LIT UP AND IMMEDIATELY THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED AND I COULDN'T STEER; I WAS GOING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY! I ATTEMPTED TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM BUT IT'S ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND THERE'S NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODES TO SCAN. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A FLATBED TO TOW THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO. CHRYSLER SAID THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE AND IT'S NOT PART OF ANY RECALL SO THIS WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO REPAIR.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN A CONSTANT HEADACHE. PURCHASED AUG 21, 2018. DECEMBER SOMETHING BROKE, ENDED UP BEING A TRANSFER CASE SHATTERED. DAMAGING OUR RADIATOR. A WEEK AFTER PICKING UP I STILL FELT THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND TRIED TO RETURN TO DEALER, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER TRAILHAWK AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY DID. A FEW MONTHS GONE BY OF HEARING NOTHING. WE DID A TIRE ROTATION AND NOTICED A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN WEAR. OBVIOUSLY THE FRONT END HASNT BEEN RIGHT FOR MONTHS AS AI ORIGINALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT. SCHEDULED THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN TO FIND IT NEEDS A WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT. RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK AND THE NOTICE THE PASSENGER REAR IS STILL MAKING A LOT OF NOISE, ENOUGH YOU CAN HEAR OVER THE RADIO, AND THE STEERING FEELS TIGHT AND PULLS TO THE LEFT.

ALMOST DIED LAST WEEK!! WE PURCHASED THE JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK NEW IN 2014 WITH THE FULL INTENT OF TOWING IT 4 WHEELS DOWN BEHIND OUR MOTOR HOME. THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR TOWING IS VERY CLEAR AND WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS AS PROVIDED AND AS INSTRUCTED BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. LAST THURSDAY NIGHT (MAY 30TH 2019) ON HWY 24 IN KENTUCKY WE HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AND THE JEEP WENT INTO A DEATH WOBBLE THAT BROUGHT THE ENTIRE RV COACH FROM 65 MPH TO A DEAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY IN THE DARK OF NIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC!!! BY GOD'S GRACE ONLY ARE WE NOT DEAD!! NO DRIVER EXPECTS AN RV TO BE PARKED ON THE HIGHWAY (EMERGENCY FLASHERS OR NOT). WE HAVE BEEN SCARED BEFORE WITH THIS AT A LOWER SPEED OF 30 TO 40 MPH, BUT NEVER AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED! WE...

WE HAVE FLAT TOWED OUR JEEP ACCORDING TO MANUAL SINCE WE PURCHASED IN 2014. ON A FEW OCCASIONS WE HAD INTERMITTENT WOBBLING OF THE MOTORHOME WHICH WE THOUGHT WAS DUE TO WATER IN THE MOTORHOME'S HOLDING TANKS. ON RECENT TRIP WE HAD TRAVELED LESS THAN TEN MILES ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN OUR JEEP TOW CAR BEGAN TO SWERVE VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. WE WERE DRIVING STRAIGHT BETWEEN 55-60 MPH WITH NO ON-BOARD WATER. A DRIVER BEHIND US STOPPED AND SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR JEEP SINCE IT WAS SWERVING VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE, NOT THE MOTORHOME. WE INSPECTED EVERYTHING AND THERE WERE NO FLAT TIRES AND CONTINUED SLOWLY. THE EVENT OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AFTER WE CROSSED A BRIDGE OR PATCH OF ROUGH HIGHWAY. WE EVENTUALLY UNHITCHED THE JEEP AND MY WIFE FOLLOWED BEHIND THE MOTORHOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. MY WIFE LATER LEARNED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA THAT MOPAR ISSUED...

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...

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 !!

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...

AT 42,500 MILES THE STEERING GEAR WENT DOWN CAUSING THE CAR TO SAY SERVICE PARKING BRAKE, BRAKES, AND TRANSMISSION WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET. THE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING AT THIS TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

ACCORDING TO OWNERS MANUAL AND JEEP, THIS VEHICLE IS DESIGNED AND CAPABLE OF BEING FLAT TOWED BEHIND AN RV. THERE WAS A SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENT FROM JEEP ADVISING IF YOU EXPERIENCE A WOBBLE WHEN TOWING YOU NEED KIT 683214AB. THIS NEEDS TO BE MANDATORY AS IT HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH AFTER TOWING THOUSANDS OF MILES, THE JEEP WILL START VIOLENTLY WOBBLING WHEN DRIVING REQUIRING THE RV TO FULLY STOP IN ORDER TO RECOVER. ON THE TWO OCCASIONS, THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE FIRST ISSUE THE CAR WAS SWINGING SO MUCH IT DAMAGED THE REAR PASSENGER CAR TIRE RIM BY HITTING THE CURB. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO BIKERS OR PEDESTRIAN AT THE TIME. THE RV WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 25 MPH ON FLAT STREET ROADS. THE FIRST TIME WE TURNED A HARD RIGHT AND WAS +200 FROM THE TURN. THE SECOND TIME WE TURNED LEFT AND ABOUT +200 FROM THE...

I'M HAVING A FEW PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE, I JUST BOUGHT IT USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 111,000 MILES. MY MAIN CONCERN IS MY STEERING WHEEL BECOMING VERY HARD TO TURN WHILE TRYING TO PARK OR EASE OUT OF PARKING. EVERY TIME I BACK OUT, IT DOESN'T LET ME TURN MY WHEEL WHICH WAS VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO HIT ANYONE/ANYTHING. ALSO, THIS MORNING ON 5/23/2018, ALL MY LIGHTS ON MY DASH BOARD CAME ON WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK, AND MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME STUCK WHILE CARS WERE BEHIND ME. LUCKILY, IT WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAD TO ROTATE THE STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD TO PULL OVER. I HOPE NO ONE ELSE GOES THROUGH THIS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. HOPE TO FIND A RESOLUTION.

WHEN ACCELARATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE/VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING AND VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH MOST OF THE CAR AND WILL ONLY STOP ONCE YOU HAVE STOP ACCELERATING. THE SHAKING WILL ALSO START WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE MOST SHAKING TENDS TO BE WHEN AT 3000+ RPM

THIS COMPLIANT INVOLVES TOWING BEHIND A MOTOR HOME. ON 3 OCCASIONS THE TOW VEHICLE DID NOT TRACK PROPERLY, THE FRONTS WHEELS BEGAN TO OSCILLATE SHAKING THE MOTOR HOME VIOLENTLY CREATING A SITUATION WHERE THE TOW VEHICLE COULD BREAK LOOSE OR CAUSE THE MOTOR HOME TO LOOSE CONTROL. ON FIRST OCCASION AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN THE MOTOR HOME BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM THE BACK. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT VEHICLE, A PEDESTRIAN WHO WITNESSED THE EVENT CAME OVER AND SAID THE FRONT WHEELS OF THE TOW VEHICLE (JEEP CHEROKEE) WERE OSCILLATING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND HE WITNESSED BOTH THE TOW VEHICLE AND MOTOR HOME SHAKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. ON THE SECOND OCCASION I CROSSED OVER A DOUBLE SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS, GOING 25MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE, THE TOW VEHICLE WHEELS BEGAN TO OSCILLATE UNCONTROLLABLY. AFTER SLOWING TO A COMPLETE STOP, I COULD START AGAIN NORMALLY. THE...

VEHICLE SHOWED NO WARNING LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS FLASHED, THEN VEHICLE ENGINE STOPPED, NO STEERING, NO BRAKES. UNABLE TO MOVE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT 45 MILES PER HOUR ON THE ROAD, GOING STRAIGHT.

I NEARLY HAD A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE" AS A RESULT OF A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN BEING TOWED FOUR DOWN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR JEEP VEHICLES WITH THE ACTIVE DRIVE II TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2014 WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF JEEP IT WAS GOING TO BE TOWED BEHIND A MOTORHOME.

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE THAT IS A LEMON. IT JERKS REALLY HARD WHEN YOU TAKE OFF FROM A STOP, IT LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE STEERING GETS REALLY TIGHT AND YOU CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING, IF YOU DONT WAIT FOR THE CAR TO JERK TWICE WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WILL GO BACKWARDS IN REVERSE WHILE IN DRIVE, THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLL CONSTANTLY RESET DO TO POWER FAILURE, SOMETIMES IT DONT WANT TO START, THE CHECK ENINE LIGHT DID'NT EVEN COME ON UNTIL A WEEK AFTER THE PROBLEMS STARTED, IT THROWS WARNING LIGHTS LIKE LOW TIRE PRESSURE OR TRACTION CONTROLL WHEN NOTHING IS WRONG, AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $800 (THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD) JUST TO SEE WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO TRY AND FIX IT. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHATS WRONG OR IF...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILS CONSTANTLY, WHILE DRIVING! VERY DANGEROUS AND JEEP DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MY JEEP HAS ONLY 31,600 MILES!

TOW THE JEEP BEHIND MOTORHOME AND WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 45MPH THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL CAUSING THE ENTIRE MOTORHOME TO SWAY SIDE TO SIDE. HAD TO COMPLETELY COME TO FULL STOP TO CORRECT, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES. CONTACTED JEEP AND FILED COMPLAINT FOR FIX WHICH THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH COST. HAVE A CASE NUMBER ON FILE.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK AND WITHIN THE FIRST 8 MONTHS THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE TOTALLY REPLACED AFTER HAVING SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH SWITCHING GEAR. IN DECEMBER 2016 I WAS DRIVING TO NC, WITH 55,800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY SHUT OUT AND I WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE, ALL WHILE GOING 70MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY PERFORMED A "SOFTWARE UPGRADE" AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. THE NEXT MORNING, THE EXACT SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MY WAY TO WORK, IN RUSH HOUR, AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. I AGAIN HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER TO PULL OFF. THE DEALERSHIP STILL HASN'T RETURNED IT, OVER A WEEK LATER, BECAUSE THEY DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY A JEEP,...

DROVE MY CHEROKEE OFF THE LOT AND NOTICE A WOBBLE. TOOK BACK THE NEXT DAY. EMPLOYEE DROVE IT WITH ME AND FELT IT. WANTED TO WAIT FOR THE 3000 MILE OIL CHANGE TO SEE IF THINGS SETTLED IN AFTER BEING DRIVEN. FINALLY AT APPROXIMATELY AT 8000 TOOK IT TO BE CHECKED. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE SAID THEY COULDN'T RELEASE IT TO ME UNTIL REPAIRS WERE MADE. REPLACED THE FRONT AXELS AND BOLTS. ON 12-31-16 AT ABOUT 23,000 MILES LOUD NOISE STARTED TOOK IT IN. ADVISED IT NEEDS A NEW DRIVE SHAFT AND WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE SO GIVEN LOANER. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED, THE RECENT INCIDENT WAS VERY OBVIOUS AT ABOUT 10-15 MPH

I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS WHILE TOWING MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE BEHIND MY CLASS A MOTORHOME. IN 2016 THE LAST OCCURRENCE, AND THE MOST WORRISOME FOR ME, OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY ON A MAJOR TRIP IN SEPTEMBER. APPROACHING A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, THERE WAS A CROSS-OVER FROM THE WEST BOUND LANES INTO THE EASTBOUND INSIDE LANE. THIS CROSS-OVER HAD A DIFFERENCE IN CROSS-SLOPE AND AN ABRUPT CHANGE OF GRADE. TRAFFIC WAS GOING AT ABOUT 40-45 MILES PER HOUR AT THE POINT OF THE CROSS-OVER. THE WOBBLE OCCURRED JUST AS I WAS CROSSING FROM THE WESTBOUND TO EASTBOUND LANE. IT WAS A VIOLENT WOBBLE, WITH A HUGE SIDE SWAY HAPPENING AT THE REAR OF THE MOTORHOME. I SLOWED DOWN AS MUCH AS I COULD. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND CONTINUED AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES PER HOUR...
