2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Engine Problems

START/STOP FAILING TO WORK OR WORKS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE LOCAL DEALER 4 OR 5 TIMES. ONE VISIT THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 DAYS. THEY EVEN TALKED TO CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS ISSUE. SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY FOR THIS. DIDN'T HELP. NOW THE WARNING STILL COMES ON AT DIFFERENT TIMES. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T SHUT DOWN AT ALL WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SOMETIMES IT DOES. I ALSO NOTICED THE JEEP NOT SHIFTING RIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-6 TIMES. NOT SURE IF ONE THING IS CONNECTED TO ANOTHER BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED. I HAVE MY 3 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE JEEP OFTEN AND DON'T LIKE THIS FAULTY ISSUE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

WHILE DRIVING CAR HOME FROM WORK IN SUNNY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE CARS DASH BEEPED AND LIT UP WITH THE BATTERY WARNING. MY CAR STOPPED EXELERATING BUT ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL IN THE CAR STILL WORKED. AFTER TRYING TO GET IT TO TURN OVER AGAIN IT JUST RATTLED. I WAS ABLE TO GET A JUMP AND HEAD HOME WHERE WE LOOKED DEEPER INTO THE PROBLEM. WE FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT THE STARTER, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR WERE ALL WORKING AND IN GOOD CONDITION AND HAD NO CLUE WHY IT WOULD HAVE DIED ON ME FOR NO REASON. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHILD AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY BUSY/CONSTRUCTION AREAS IF MY CAR COULD STOP ON A DIME WITHOUT WARNING. NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE GETTING HURT OR EVEN KILLED.

I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST STALLED. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TWICE BEFORE IT TURNED ON, DROVE ABOUT 2 MINS AND HAD TO STOP FOR SOMEONE TURNING & THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THAT TIME ONLY TOOK ONE TRY TO RESTART.

ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD & AFTER 10-15 MINUTES VEHICLE WILL START. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES & EACH TIME I HAVE BROUGHT IT BACK TO NORMANDIN JEEP IN SAN JOSE, CA. OF COURSE IT IS RUNNING EACH TIME WHEN I GET TO THE DEALERSHIP & I ALWAYS GET THE SAME STORY. LOW OIL OR OIL PRESSURE. I CURRENTLY HAVE LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE JEEP & MY FIRST INCIDENT BEGAN WITH 15,000 MILES ......... THEN AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN. I LIVE IN SILICON VALLEY & HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD SON. THE FREEWAYS ARE BUSY AND THIS HAS BECOME A DANGEROUS SITUATION. ACCORDING TO MY ONLINE RESEARCH ........ THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE ..........BUT ........ THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THIS. ON MY LAST VISIT ABOUT A MONTH AGO (LESS THAN 40,000 ON ODOMETER) THEY (NORMANDIN) TOLD ME THE...

TODAY BEING 7/26/2018. TODAY MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN IN THE MORNING, AND AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN MAKING A U-TURN. AND FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE, A FEW TIMES I FELT THE ENGINE ATTEMPT TO SHUT OFF WHEN COMING TO STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS, WHICH THE VEHICLE SHAKING WOULD TAKE PLACE AND THE MOTOR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. IN THE CASE OF TRANSMISSION, FOR THE PAST MONTH IN RANDOM MOMENTS WHILE STOPPED AT AN INCLINE OR TURNING ONTO AN INCLINE STREET, THE GEARS WOULD DELAY SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR, AND IT WOULD SOUND LIKE RPM WAS REACHING HIGHER THAN NORMAL ROTATIONS BEFORE ACTUALLY SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR, THE CAR JERKING FROM THE CATCH. ALL EVENTS OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ON STREETS, BOTH WHEN TURNING OR STOPPING, OR INCLINE CLIMB INVOLVED.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAYS PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START. THE CAR CONSUMES LARGE AMOUNTS OF SYNTHETIC OIL, WHICH SHOULD LAST UP TO 6 MONTHS BUT ONLY LASTS BETWEEN 700-1000 MILES PER QUART. THE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON INDICATING THAT THE OIL IS LOW. IT FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN TOO FAST FOR THE DRIVER TO SEE THE WARNING. WHEN THE OIL IS LOW, THE CAR BEGINS TO SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW RATES OF SPEED ON CITY STREETS AND A HIGHWAY DURING RUSH OUR TRAFFIC, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME.

THE FAN BELT SHREDDED AT 37,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THE PULLEYS WERE PART OF THE PROBLEM. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE BELT SHREDDED. IT STARTED OVERHEATING QUICKLY.

FAULTY TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTING

AFTER A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, I PROCEEDED TO EXIT A PARKING LOT AT 10 MPH, PRESSED GENTLY ON GAS PEDAL AND HEARD A VERY LOUD POP. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND WAS EXTREMELY LOUD. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMS MY MAINTENANCE, AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE EXHAUST FLEX PIPE. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 60000 MILES ON IT.

I NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST JEEP. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2015 CHEROKEE IS AWFUL AND A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE JERKS AROUND SO MUCH WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, I'M CONCERNED IT'S EVENTUALLY GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IN TRAFFIC IT PUNCHES FORWARD AND STOPS ABRUPTLY BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS. IT'S AWFUL THAT I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE I'M ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE. ANYTIME I HAVE A PASSENGER THEY COMMENT ON HOW THE CAR JERKS AND UNPLEASANT IT IS TO RIDE IN. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME GETTING A LEMON AND SOMETHING I HAVE TO DEAL WITH BUT I WENT ONLINE TODAY AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER 2015 CHEROKEE LATITUDE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED...

AUTOMATIC, SHIFT MOVING TO STANDARD OR NEUTRAL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 18 AND 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A CHIMING SOUND AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WITHIN THREE SECONDS, THE "SHIFT TO PARK DESIGNATED GEAR" WARNING INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (CHRYSLER, DODGE, AND FORD FIAT OF BAY RIDGE, 8635 18TH AVENUE, BROOKLYN, NY 11209). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND NOTIFY THE CONTACT OF THE RESULTS. THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO NOTIFY THEM AFTER THE DEALER COMPLETED THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,005.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH WHAT I ASSUME IS THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BUCKS AND MAKES LOTS OF NOISE. IT SOUNDS LIKE GEARS ARE GRINDING AND IT IS FIGHTING TO GET TRACTION. ALSO, WHEN BACK UP MY DRIVEWAY IT FEELS LIKE THE REAR WHEELS ARE SLIPPING AND FIGHT TO GET TRACTION AS WELL. IT STARTED TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A FLAT SURFACE AT LIKE 30 MPH AS WELL. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS MADE IT LESS FREQUENT. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE TAKEN VIDEOS OF THE PROBLEM OCCURING.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP WITH 12,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3X SO FAR FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. TRANSMISSION CLUNKING, LURCHING, WONT DOWN SHIFT AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN IN TRAFFIC BELOW 20MPH SOME TIMES IT REVS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DOESN'T MOVE AND THEN THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. SOMETIMES IT JUST HAS NO ACCELERATION LIKE ITS STUCK A FEW GEARS TOO HIGH. THE SHIFT GOING INTO 5TH GEAR SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I GOT REARENED IT SHIFTS SO HARD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE JERKS BACK AND FOURTH AND HAS A METALLIC BANG GOING INTO 5TH. THE 5TH GEAR HARD SHIFT IS INTERMITTENT. THE BOGGING, LURCHING AND REFUSAL TO DOWN SHIFT AT SLOWER SPEEDS IS CONSTANT. DEALER HAS YET TO BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING BUT COMPUTER UPDATES. THEY SAY ITS "NORMAL". IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT ITS GOING TO...

CAR IS BURNING OIL AND SHUTTING OFF ON THE ROAD, WHICH I OR MY CHILDREN, CAN EASILY GET HURT OR KILLED. HAVE TRIED TO HAVE RESOLVED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH UNSATISFACTORY RESULTS FROM THE CAR LOT. AS ADVISED FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER THIS IS NORMAL UNDER CHRYSLER STANDARDS.

BRAKE PEDAL THAT SLINGS FORWARD AFTER RELEASING AND MAKING A SLAMMING NOISE, PLASTIC PARTS JUST FALLING OFF INSIDE FROM UNDER THE DASH, THE TRIM FALLING OFF ON THE OUTSIDE, THE OBVIOUS TRANSMISSION, THE POWER LIFTGATE RELEASING AND REFUSING TO CLOSE ON ITS OWN, THE DISPLAY SCREEN BLINKING AND OCCASIONALLY REFUSING TO RESPOND, THE TIRE PRESSURE GAGE INDICATING A WARNING OF PRESSURE TO 51PSI THEN SECONDS LATER CHANGING TO 31PSI (THIS ONE OCCURED AFTER THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE), GPS IS UNBELIEVABLY UNRELIABLE, UCONNECT TAKES CONTROL WHEN NOT GIVEN PERMISSION, START/STOP BUTTON DOES NOT WORK EVERYTIME. SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF HAS BEEN DIFFICULT. ALT FEATURE DOES NOT WORK ABOUT HALF THE TIME, BATTERY HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWO TIMES. THE INSIDE LINER AROUND THE ROOF NOT ATTACHED, THE LEFT BACK WHEEL THE TRIM IS POPPED OFF. THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO GO WHEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION 4 DAYS AGO AND ALMOST...

TRANSMISSION SLAMMING HARD IN RD3 AND 4TH GEAR IN MOTION, ENGINE STALLING AT STOP, REFUSING TO START. ALL TRIM FALLING OFF INSIDE AND OUT. TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG. TOOK BACK AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER THEY SAID SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD FIX IT. FIXED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN ALL STARTED AGAIN. THEY DIDN'T EVEN ADDRESS THE TRIM AND LINER ISSUE. GPS ALSO COMPLETELY OFF AND IT WONT UPDATE EITHER. I PURCHASED THIS IN 2016 DEC. THE ENTIRE THING IS JUST FALLING APART PLASTIC PIECES ARE FALLING OUT FROM UNDER THE DASH! CANT GET HELP AND PAID 2500 EXTRA FOR WARRANTY THEY WONT FIX A NON FIXABLE ISSUE.

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD IT'S FIRST OIL CHANGE IN JANUARY OF 2015. AFTER 146 MILES, THE OIL WAS ONE QUART LOW. THE CONSUMER ADDS 1-2 QUARTS BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO HAVE TO VEHICLE EXCHANGED FOR V-6. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY STALLED AND LOST POWER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO CRANK FOR ONE MINUTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A "PLEASE SWITCH TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NASHVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (NEW OWNERS FREELAND JEEP) (5800 CROSSINGS BLVD, ANTIOCH, TN 37013, (615) 866-6060), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN A 50 MPH ZONE ON A MAJOR ROADWAY IN THE TOWN I RESIDE IN MY VEHICLE DECIDED IT NO LONGER WANT TO GO. EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL I COULD SEE THE NEEDLE FOR REVS MOVING WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND TRIED THE PEDAL AGAIN. SAME RESULT THE CAR WOULD REV BUT NOT GO ASIDE FROM A STUTTERING /LIGHT JERKING, ALMOST AS IF IT DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE HAD ROUGH SHIFTS FROM THE DAY WE DROVE THIS OFF THE LOT. I WAS TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT IT WAS PART OF THE BREAK IN PERIOD AND THERE WERE NO CODES SPITTING OUT UNTIL THIS PAST SUMMER WHERE I GOT THE SERVICE SHIFTER PROBLEM A SECOND TIME THAT WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I NEVER HAVE...

WHILE DRIVING ON SUNDAY MY JEEP SUDDENLY WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART, I WAS STRANDED IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SINCE THERE WAS NO WARNING I HAD NO TIME TO PULL TO SIDE. AAA TOWED TO CLARK CHRYSLER/JEEP WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT AND UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALL PM'S HAVE BEEN DONE THERE AND DONE TIMELY. WHAT THEY FOUND WAS JEEP WAS DOWN 3 QTS OF OIL, I ASKED HOW THAT COULD BE AND WHY WOULD ENGINE SHUT OFF SO ABRUPTLY THEY CLAIM THE 2.4 ENGINES USE 1QT PER 1,000 MILES, THAT NO INDICATOR OR WARNING COMES ON AND ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF TO PROTECT IT. NO WHERE IS IT LISTED IN OWNERS MANUAL, I HAVE BEEN IN AUTOMOTIVE FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND IF AN ENGINE BURNS A QT PER 1,000 YOU REBUILD OR BUY A NEW ENGINE, I AM NOW TOLD I MUST CHECK...

TAKATA RECALL. CAR STALLS LOSING ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING WHEN OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED. OIL CHANGE LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY. CAR HAS BEEN STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE ROAD. ALSO HAPPENED LAST TIME OIL CHANGE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD BY JEEP DEALER THAT IT IS COMMON. VERY DANGEROUS.

VEHICLE RPMS REV UP TO 4000-5000 WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS ON CITY STREETS GOING 15-20MPH. VEHICLE RANDOMLY ACCELERATES WHEN NOT HITTING GAS AND VEHICLE NOT ON CRUISE CONTROL. VEHICLE JERKS WHEN CHANGING GEARS. VEHICLE ALSO STUDDERS WHEN PULLING OUT ON CITY STREETS. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON OCTOBER 21, 2017 WITH 34,000 MILES. TOOK VEHICLE TO CERTIFIED JEEP MECHANIC ON NOVEMBER 6, 2017 WITH MY COMPLAINT. THEY STATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE 'FLASHED'. I PICKED THE VEHICLE BACK UP AT 4:30PM. AFTER LEAVING IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AS I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL VEHICLE AS THEY WERE CLOSING AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. I PICKED...

THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES WHEN I AM TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. THIS HAPPENED TOP ME WHILE DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE WHEN CAR WAS ALMOST BRAND NEW, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FLASHED THE SYSTEM. SAID IT WAS A RECALL. CAR DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE BUT NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND I SUDDENLY HAVE NO POWER. I COULD PUSH THE THROTTLE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE. I HAD TO MAKE IT ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC GOING 75MPH AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER. I TRIED RESTARTING AND IT SHUTTERED AND DIED, TWICE. LET IT SIT FOR A MIN AND THEN IT RESTARTED. IT HAPPENED 2 DAYS LATER. THIS TIME I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND I HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I SLAMMED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT SHUTTERED AND GOT POWER AGAIN.

MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING ON THE FIRST DRIVE OF THE MORNING FOR 4 DAYS. STARTS UP AND IT'S FINE AFTER THAT. YESTERDAY WHILE VIDEOING IT TO SHOW A DEALER, I HEARD A DING. SAW NOTHING ON THE PANEL. REVIEWED THE VIDEO, AND I CAN ONLY SPECULATE IT SAID OIL PRESSURE LOW. IT LASTED LESS THAN HALF A SECOND AND DISAPPEARED. I CHECKED MY OIL AND FOUND IT TO BE BARELY REGISTERING ON THE STICK. IT TOOK 2 1/2 QUARTS TO FILL IT. MY OIL CHANGE STICKER STATES I'M 1200 MILES AWAY FROM THE 4000 MARK THE DEALER PUTS ON IT. I WAS TOLD TODAY BY A JEEP DEALER, THAT THE 2.4 ENGINE IN THE CHEROKEE WILL USE A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750-1000 MILES IF OVER 50,000 MILES. I HAVE 56,580 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN OIL IS LOW, THE CAR WILL STALL TO PREVENT DAMAGE AS A SAFETY...

FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS, MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEEN AT AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO REPAIR DAMAGE MADE FROM A BREAK IN. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR SINCE SEPTEMBER 22ND. THIS MORNING, AFTER FINALIZING THE PAPERWORK WITH THE REPAIR FACILITY AND PAYING A DEDUCTIBLE, I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY DRIVE MY JEEP AGAIN. PULLED OUT OF THE BODY SHOP'S PARKING LOT, ONTO A CITY STREET, DROVE NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF A MILE AND MAYBE A MINUTE OR SO INTO THE DRIVE AND THE DASHBOARD ICON OF THE BATTERY ILLUMINATED, THE NOTIFICATION SOUND PLAYED, AND THE CAR SLOWED TO A STOP AGAIN. ALSO, THE NOTIFICATION CENTER DISPLAYED "SHIFT TO PARK". LUCKILY THIS TIME I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I SHIFTED INTO PARK, PLACED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, AND WAVED THE CARS THAT WERE BEHIND ME TO DRIVE AROUND. MADE THE ATTEMPT TO RESTART TWICE WITH NO...

AT 47,351 MILES THE CYLINDER HEAD ON CYLINDER # 4 FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND RUN ROUGH. JEEP DEALER IS REPLACING IT UNDER A FACTORY WARRANTY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO CORTLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (3878 WEST RD, CORTLAND, NY 13045 (877) 279-3113), BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,500.

I PARKED THE JEEP AND TURNED IT OFF AND WHEN INSIDE FOR 10 MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR TO LEAVE AND A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON LIKE SERVICE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN. I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND A HUGE CLUNK FROM THE TRANSMISSION HAPPENED I BACKED UP AND PUT IT IN FORWARD AND A HUGE CLUNK HAPPENED AGAIN. IT SHOCKED THE WHOLE CAR. I WENT FORWARD AND IT BARLEY WOULD GO. IT TOOK ALONG TIME TO GET UP TO SPEED. IT KIND OF SHOOK AND WAS REALLY SCAREY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND BARELY MADE IT. THE GUY SAID THE TECHS WHERE ALL GONE FOR THE DAY. I COULDN'T LEAVE IT THERE SO I STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT WORKED FINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON THOUGH. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED IT UP AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. IT WORKED FINE...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH, THE CAR GAVE ME A "TRANSMISSION SERVICE" ALARM AND THEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED. NO RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION AND EVENTUALLY TO STEERING CONTROL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES, TURNED THE KEY AND THEN THE CAR STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITH NO ISSUES. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED WITH CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM OVERSEAS MILITARY SALES IN SICILY, ITALY AND THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN SICILY.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER FOR PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH ACCELERATION AND BRAKING. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND STEP ON THE GAS WITH NO ACCELERATION. THERE ARE TIMES I'M TRYING TO STOP AND IT BUCKS ALMOST LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. IT'S BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH COMPUTER UPDATES, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEING UPDATED ETC. THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN GOING UP HILLS, DOWN HILLS, ON STRAIGHT AWAYS ETC. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR JUST WHEN ACCELERATING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN MOTION. I DO HAVE RECEIPTS AS TO WHAT THEY HAVE REPLACED IF NEEDED. THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING.

WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT VEHICLES, THE PRIMARY ITEMS I WANTED IN THE NEW VEHICLE WAS A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE PICK-UP NEEDED FOR EXTENSIVE HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE ISSUES EXISTED SINCE IT WAS NEW BUT I HAVE ACTUALLY BECOME CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE; WE ONLY DRIVE IT WHEN WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO (IE. BOTH OF US IN THE HOUSEHOLD HAVE TO GO TO WORK). THE ENGINE IS THE 6 CYLINDER WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THIS ENGINE HAS INTERMITTENT ISSUES WHERE THE VEHICLE HESITATES, LURCHES, AND JUMPS. SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP, IT HESITATES SEVERAL SECONDS, AND THEN WHEN IT DOES RESPOND THE TIRES SQUEAL AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING AS IT SHOULD. SOMETIMES IT IS A MILDER RESPONSE WHERE IT IS JUST A HESITATION DUE TO DELAYED SHIFTING. MORE RECENTLY, NOW THE ENGINE IS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CHECK TRANSMISSION AND SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (METRO JEEP LOCATED AT 650C MEMORIAL DR CHICOPEE, MA 01020 877-220-8331) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UPDATE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 32118538. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,240.

AT 17,000 MILES, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CHEROKEE. THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. I POWERED OFF THE ENGINE AND IT SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED AFTER ONE ATTEMPT. I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP LATER THAT DAY TO FIND OUT I WAS "OUT OF OIL", THIS WAS ROUGHLY 2500 MILES INTO MY MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE (WHICH IS PROJECTED FOR 5000 MILES). I WAS DISAPPOINTED, DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING A YEAR OLD. THE DEALERSHIP ADDED SOME OIL AND I WAS ON MY WAY. SHORTLY AFTER, I STARTED NOTICING THE ENGINE WOULD REV TO HIGH RPM'S WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE RPM'S WOULD INCREASE DRASTICALLY WHEN BREAKING, THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP BETWEEN GEARS 1-3, MAKING INCREASING YOUR SPEED EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AS YOU NEVER KNEW WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE OFF. MY DEALERSHIP WAS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND ROLLED BACK IN REVERSE. THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (PERKINS MOTORS LOCATED AT 1205 MOTOR CITY DR COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80905) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

TAKATA RECALL - THE ENGIN INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, ON MY WAY HOME BUT DISAPPEARED THE MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE JEEP. A FEW DAYS LATER I DROVE IT TO A LOCATION WHERE I STAYED FOR 2 HOURS, LEFT AND GOT HOME WHERE I STAYED FOR A FEW MINUTES. CAME BACK OUT TO USE THE VEHICLE BUT THE ENGINE DIDN'T 'TURN OVER' . CALLED THE SERVICE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY. THEY RE-BOOT THE CAR & I LET THE ENGINE RUN FOR 1/2 HR. PER HIS INSTRUCTION. THE WENT TO A DRIVE THRU AND DECIDED TO HEAD HOME BUT SHORTLY AFTER THE JEEP SHUTS OFF AT A STOP LIGHT. I WAITED 5 MIN THEN RESTART AND HEADED HOME WITH MY HAZARD LIGHT FLASHING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND GOT 'AN AVAILABLE' APPOINTMENT FOUR DAY THEREAFTER.

DRIVING MY VEHICLE OVER THE WEEKEND WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON, THE VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF NO POWER COULD NOT DO ANYTHING THE VEHICLE TURNED ON AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. WHERE MY FAMILY AND I WERE EXTREMELY NERVOUS THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING HOME. THANK GOD I WAS NOT DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY FAMILY AND MYSELF COULD HAVE GOTTEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE IN MY VEHICLE OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNED ON AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE START AND STOP SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON ADVISING TO HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED, THE REST OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN HOME IT CONSTANTLY SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO...

FAULTY ENGINE SENSORS CAUSES THE CAR STALL AT ANYTIME. WAS DRIVING WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT MY CAR STALLED AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP ALONG WITH MULTIPLE ERROR MESSAGES. IT TOOK 15 TIMES FOR MY CAR TO RESTART. THIS ISSUE IS A COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND PUTTING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AT GREAT RISK. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP BUT HAVE READ SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE SAYING THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. MANY STATED THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE AT CHRYSLER WHICH THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ACTION THE CONSUMER.

ONE MORNING I STARTED THE CAR, I HEARD WATER MOVING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. WHILE, DRIVING THE CAR I HEARD A NOISE'S LIKE A PRESSURE COOKER SOUNDS. ONCE I ARRIVED AT WORK I WALKED AROUND TO THE PASSAGE SIDE TO RETRIEVE MY STAFF. I COULD SMELLED ANTIFREEZE. I CONTACTED JEEP RIGHT AWAY AND THEY CONTACT A TOW COMPANY. IT WAS DROP OFF. THE DEALERSHIP WORKED ON IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THEY DID PRESSURE TEST FOR EXTERNAL LEAK, DIDN'T LOCATE A LEAK. THEY DIDN'T DO A INTERNAL EXAMINE. IT'S 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLES ALREADY LEAKING ANTIFREEZE. I HAVE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE BUT STILL SMELL ANTIFREEZE. TWO PRESSURE TEST LATER NOTHING. I JUST PICKUP MY VEHICLE FOR THE SECOND TIME. WHY IS JEEP VEHICLES HAVING SO MANY PROBLEM. MY PSI, TRANSMISSION AND RADIO MAKING SOUNDS WHEN ITS OFF. JEEP IS A BAD VEHICLE AND IT JUST A MATTER...

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT HARD. THE DOWNSHIFT IS BAD. VERY POOR ON GAS. ELECTRIC PROBLEM. AIR BAG.

TAKATA RECALL - BAD WHEEL BEARING , LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE LIGHT. IN MOTION!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE USED UP A QUART OF OIL EVERY THREE THOUSAND MILES WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE. THE TECHNICIAN NOTED ON THE INVOICE THAT THE OIL FILTER WAS LOOSE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,633.

WHILE DRIVING AT FULL SPEED ON I-10 WEST, MY JEEP CHEROKEE CAME TO A FULL STOP FORCING DRIVERS TO STEER AROUND ME SO AS NOT TO REAR END ME. IT'S DONE THIS 5 TIMES SINCE SUATURDAY THE 18TH OF FEBRUARY. IT SAYS THE VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK BEFORE RELEASING THE BRAKE.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE BURST INTO FLAMES A WEEK AGO. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE WAS AS CHRYSLER WILL NOT INVESTIGATE IT. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE PASSENGER IN MY CAR SMELLED SMOKE. WE QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE CAR AS WE THEN SAW SMOKE POURING OUT OF THE HOOD AND WITHIN SECONDS IT WAS IT FLAMES. ...UPDATED 02/23/17 *BF.. UPDATED 03/01/17 *BF *CN

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. I WAS DRIVING WHEN I SMELLED SMOKE AND WITHIN 10 SECONDS, THE ENGINE BURST INTO FLAMES. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE HAD ALL THE RECALLS ADDRESSED. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS AND NEITHER THE DEALER NOR CHRYSLER WILL ANYTHING BUT SAY THEY ARE SORRY...UPDATED 02/23/17 *BF UPDATED 03/01/17 *BF *CN

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT 2.4L 4CYL. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015. THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY IS FOR 36,000 MILES AND AT 41,000 MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE JEEP WOULD NOT WARM UP AND BLEW LUKE WARM AIR ON THE HOTTEST SETTING. THERE WAS ALSO A DRIPPING SOUND HEARD FROM BEHIND THE FRONT DASHBOARD. BEFORE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. DRIVING YOUR JEEP WITH THE ETC LIGHT ON COULD LEAD TO THE COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. I TOOK MY JEEP IN ON SATURDAY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO CONDUCT A DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD LIMITED STAFF THERE FOR THE WEEKEND. THEREFOR I HAD TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY JEEP FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. I RETURNED ON MONDAY AND THEY CHARGED...

PURCHASED BRAND NEW- AT 20K MILES HAD TO HAVE THE GEAR SHIFT MOTHERBOARD REPLACED AFTER THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JOLT WHEN DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. IT WOULD JOLT WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR TAKING OFF. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT NOT RELAYING PROPERLY TO TELL THE CAR TO SHIFT GEARS AND WHAT GEAR TO SHIFT TO. I READ SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS WHERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THAT WAS IN AUG OF 2016. NOW IM HAVING TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I DO ALL MAINTENANCE SERVICE ON TIME SO NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS THIS TIME BUT VERY UPSET THAT MY 1ST BRAND NEW CAR AND I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES SO EARLY ON. ONCE I TAKE IT IN FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT I WILL UPDATE THIS TO REFLECT WHAT I AM TOLD IS...

THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING. AFTER CALLING A JEEP DEALER AND ASKING IF THEY WHERE HAVING ANY TROUBLE LIKE THIS. I ALSO INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THE CHEROKEE HAD 36500 MILES 500 OVER COVERED WARRANTY. I WAS INFORMED THE WORK WOULD NOT BE COVERED SO I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE. WAS TOLD IT NEEDS A THERMOSTAT. HAD TO CALL A DEALER AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LOCATE THE PART. ALL THE DEALER SAID THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. IF THE PART IS THAT POPULAR TO REPLACE THAT YOU CANT KEEP IT IN STOCK THAN THERE MOST BE AN ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE IF THIS PART IS CAUSING THE MOTOR TO SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THEIR SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HOPE CHRYSLER WILL NOT JUST LET THE ISSUE GO HOPING THAT PEOPLE...

CAR JUST RANDOMLY SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF A 50 MPH HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT. IT DID IT A COUPLE MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT IT LOOKED AT. DEALER SAID IT WAS SO LOW ON OIL IT SHUT OFF. BUT DEALER ALSO CONFIRMED OIL WAS NOT LOW ENOUGH TO TRIGGER THE WARNING LIGHT AND ALSO EXPLAINED IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY WITH MY MODEL.
