2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Unknown Or Other Problems

4wd overheating. Owned this Jeep for 8 years and had it in multiple (5x plus) times for service 4wd code. 2 different dealerships cannot fix the issue. Now they are telling me just drive it and not worry about it or trade it in. It smells hot and something burning. I have the life time max care warranty on it. The codes I get are the 4wd is unavailable overheated and service 4wd. They have replaced multiple parts and still not working. I will be just sitting idle and it comes on.

Why does a service shifter notes appear on the dashboard of my 2015 Jeep Cherokee latitude? Thank you

Vehicle was driving and working just as it should, up until two mornings ago, I start the jeep, shifted into gear and it got stuck in neutral. Service parking brake came on, traction control claims to be on even after pushing the button a couple different times to try and disengage it, odometer flashes when car is fully on(not in acc mode), check engine light is on. Battery was recently replaced and is good so it’s not the battery. Jeep still starts, but is still stuck in neutral as of yesterday morning(9-23-2025).

Transmission issue, vehicle bucks or jolts when accelerating appears there is a recall for this but my VIN shows I am not recalled but other 2015 Jeep Cherokees were affected. How can I get this fixed since it was a recall? Cooling goes in and out. This was a recall and it said it was repaired back in 2015 but since 2015 the year I bought the car, I have experienced cooling issues. I bought my car brand new.

On [XXX] I was leaving a Nebraska residence to return to Montana. During the trip I had to stop on the highway because the lift gate released and flew open at 55 mph. At that time I pulled over and the gate would not close. I tried several times to close it and so did other drivers who stopped to help me. At that time the resolution was to disconnect the battery and then reconnect. This helped. Upon returning home there was discussion with other drivers on my policy that stated they have had the same issue on prior dates in the last 6 months. The lift gate mechanism has been recalled and replaced on this vehicle on two occasions but the latching mechanism is the issue for this vehicle. To unlatch while in transit and not relatch make it a hazard. Conversations with local shops do not result in...

After driving a vehicle for a few minutes the lights will flash pretty badly, the service transmission light comes on, on the dash and the car enters limp mode, and the fan comes on, you are unable to move the vehicle it will not go forward or backwards. The vehicle runs perfectly smooth until this happens without warning. Additionally, the service air bag light came on, on the dash but if you turn the car off and back on the lights will go away and you can resume activity as usual. The cars lights and horn goes crazy even when you are not in the vehicle or driving it and does not have to be on when it does this. Now the vehicle has a service engine light on and diagnostics have been done and one part has been changed but this did not resolve the issue which was a...

The vehicle was recalled but it's been six months and the part is still not available and we are unable to renew the registration due to the part not being available.

My parking brake turned on by itself when I started my 2015 Jeep Cherokee and would not turn off. The parking brake light also came on. It is available for inspection. My safety and others safety was put at risk because my car could have stopped running while I was driving. I will be taking it to my local Jeep dealership to have it looked at. I have had a mechanic look at it but was told he could not fix it.

Door latch mechanism doesn't work under 32 degrees. Have been both locked out of and in vehicle. Once the door opens it will not latch to close. I took it to my local dealer Empire Jeep and they jammed grease in the door latch in 2023 which seemed to work for the season but again this year they did the same and that quick fix no longer works. Now I have to take it in to have the door torn apart, estimated time 2 hours and approximately $200.00 for labor. Why do I have to pay this if this is solely a Jeep issue? I've never had this happen to any other vehicle I've owned.

On approximately [XXX], I got a warning notification on my console that said "4 wheel drive needs to be serviced". We took our vehicle immediately into the Lithia Ram of Tri Cities Ram Dealership in Kennewick Washington and was told they will order the part. We did not hear from them and my husband went back to the dealership in two weeks and they told us that we had an appointment with them that morning for them to run a diagnostic on our 2015 Jeep. We did not know that (their employee had forgotten to write it on his business card) and they had forgotten to tell us of that appointment. They rescheduled for 2 weeks later for August 29, 2024. They ran the diagnostic on the car and was advised it was a recall on a ptu on the 4 wheel drive unit. They said we could drive it,...

UNKNOWN Over the past year, my vehicle has unexpectedly stalled on the highway while traveling at high speeds. This alarming situation has occurred multiple times, leaving me and my passengers in precarious circumstances. Luckily I have been able to avoid hitting other vehicles while moving to the roadside. I believe these incidents are linked to a manufacturing defect within the transmission system, a concern for many Jeep Cherokee owners. For instance, numerous reports on forums like Jeep Forum and NHTSA's website detail similar experiences, with owners describing sudden stalls and transmission issues resulting in dangerous situations. I originally brought my vehicle in on June 21, 2023, where a diagnostic was performed. Jeep recommended repairing the cooling system and changing additional parts, which we did with our trusted mechanic at a cost of $972.37. Unfortunately, the problem of stalling persists. We took the car to the Jeep Dealership and now on...

Good morning. I am contacting you in regards to my 2015 Jeep Cherokee. In summary, I am having issues with the transmission and upon further investigation I believe the issue is identical/related to recall campaign 16V529000. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle and would very much appreciate the issue be investigated. Thank you

It was recalled before for water getting into the trunk causing electrical issues(even fires). I brought it to a dealership to have it fixed, water is still getting into my vehicle. Dealership said there is nothing we can do since the recall is gone.

There is an active cylinder 2 misfire recall on 2015 jeep Cherokee. Our vehicle has been in the shop for about 3 days now. And the cylinder 2 misfire is still happening. We would like our vin looked into. To be added to the recall. The misfire appears to be happening in idle.

I’m not sure what component failed as it is linked to many. My 4 wheel drive is out. The differential pump needs to be replaced. It is available for inspection. My safety was put at risk by my car slipping and I drove into a curb thankfully no one was hurt! I took it into my repair shop and it was confirmed the differential pump needs to be replaced. None of the federal employees had to investigate the car as it wasn’t in an accident. There is a 4 month wait time to get my part so this must be an issue with lots of jeep owners! My service 4 wheel drive light would go on and off when hitting bumps a week before this happened. It still goes on and off as I can’t get it replaced because I cannot obtain the part because it’s on back order for...

I was notified of the recall on my Jeep :safety recall campaign 49A/23V-338 I took time off work to bring it due to the dealership never having business hours outside of 9-5 ( I work the same ). I was told that the part needed was not available and they had no projected time frame to fix it . Now fast forward to yesterday I get another card for the same thing . At least 7 months passed I guess the good thing is my car hasn’t burned but if this is urgent why do big companies get away with doing nothing . This make has had multiple recalls in the few years I had it .

The service shifter light comes on intermittently on my 2015 jeep Cherokee latitude. Service shifter light comes on dash and all lights on the shifter assembly are solid red. The service shifter light will not go off until the car is turned off and back on. It causes the heads up display to be blocked until the vehicle is turned off to reset the lights. The transmission feels like it is missing a gear or slipping between gears just before the service shifter light comes on. It does not have a solid time that it comes on. You can be driving down the road and it just comes on or you can be putting the car into reverse and it comes on. The jumper and bezel along with the shifter assembly has been replaced 2 times already. The first time it was replaced at my cost on April 8, 2022....

I've done searches with Carfax and there's 4 or more recalls on my Jeep but it's not wanting to do anything now it won't even start I just drove it and the night before and I believe there's an electrical problem a transmission problem and I don't know what else and yes the car Financial Place knows about it and the place where I bought it from

Liftgate sometimes works and sometimes does not, having to "reset" defective liftgate by pulling fuse and disconnecting battery and let set overnight

Transfer case recall. 2015 not included. Vehicle has 65,000 miles, looks new, no trailer hitch. First detected [XXX]. Still no part available, Jeep US not helpful, apparently "expedited " part three times. Clearly a manufacturer defect on all vehicles affected and should be covered. Jeep should pay for the part at this point and provide a vehicle while I am waiting, over two months since I was told to replace the part still no results. Car cannot be driven. Brakes can fail with this malfunctioning transfer case. Goss Dodge South Burlington VT has been very good it is out of their hands waiting for the part as well. Clearly it is a huge issue on these vehicles if the part is still not available. No warning signs, just got a "noise" in the front end.

Jeep has failed to correct the recall from May 2023 due to the powered lift gate module even though the recall states that a vehicle fire may occur. Since Feb 10 I have not been able lower the lift gate without manually pushing it down and it will not lock. Dealer has no answer and Chrysler says they have not fix yet. Fire? The recall states to not park inside a building. I think this is serious enough

Randomly an audible alarm sounds and the dash indicates "Service Shifter" while the digital dashboard indicators do not allow to navigate away from that notice, and all of the lights on the transmission indicators illuminate. I called the dealer and they said they were aware of issues with that, but no recall exists. I Googled the "Service Shifter" and my model vehicle and apparently it's a larger problem than the Dealer indicated on the phone. I was advised to turn the vehicle off, open the door, close the door, and restart the vehicle. The error cleared but later intermittently reappears.

Our 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is being recalled for transmission and power lift gate. These parts cannot be fixed because the parts are not avaiable. Also they updated the navigation and UCONNECT and vehicles 2015-2018 are not eligible for the update. They changed from 3G to 4G. And our Jeep is not qualified. We went to another car dealer and were told because of the recalls which they have many on their lot, we were offered only 7000 dollars for trade. Because of the recalls, we need to get another vehicle.

The service shifter light came on and there is an issue with that with Jeep cars.

It has multiple errors on the vehicle. What the dealership did find was a short circuit on the PTU (power transfer unit module). When the PTU short circuited it took out the DTCM (drivetrain control module).and it needs to replace .

On 2 different occasions in the past three weeks, the vehicle has stalled while driving. The instrument panel flashed a Parking Brake Warning each time and then the warning went off. The instrument panel also flashed a transmission warning twice. Each time were driving in traffic when the car just shut off. We took it to the local dealership, they reset the transmission and sent the car home. The car did the same thing 3 more times since the "fix". It has since been towed back to the dealership for repairs.

The recall on my vehicle has still not been remedied, nor have I received any information in regards to this recall outside of news coverage and my own checking.

The following NHTSA Recall Number23V-338 was issued on May 11, 2023 and has not yet been resolved. The manufacturer is stating that parts are not available. It is pertinent that the manufacturer be pressured to provide the final resolution to this issue immediately as the risk for fire is extremely high.

When it rains water leaks into my cargo area filling up my spare tire well. it also soakes the insulation in the sides of vehicle. It has cause a short in the rear ligts on vehicle which I am not sure but could cause a fire or electrical failure. Has there been any recalls for such . Last occured on or about

I've read all of these complaints online about issues with the same situation that I'm having issues with. Everyone that owns a Jeep is having the same issue. With the service shifter light, it comes on often after 12000 miles. Being put on the vehicle in everyone's statement is the same. What is it going to take for someone to look within this issue? To see why our service shifter light keeps coming on. After so many miles, I have had this issue serviced in the last three years 3 times. Why isn't the complaints enough for this to go into a recall status. It is unsafe for us to keep driving our families around in these vehicles And this issue keeps coming about what if this issue starts, causing other issues within the vehicle? To shut off, while were on the road driving to our destinations. How and when...

Service at Jeep Cherokee dealership is telling me my PTU needs to be replaced in my 2015 Jeep Cherokee. There is a recall for the PTU on similar jeeps from 2014 to 2018, but mine is not in the recall. It seems mine should be, as a similar issue.

Received safety recall notice in June 2023. Signed up 6/30/2023 Ref # 85688012 to be notified of when defect for power liftgate module would be fixed. May lead to vehicle fire with the ignition on or off. Still shows remedy is not currently available. Thought it would be corrected by the end of July. This problem has not been addressed in a timely matter.

On August 11th, 2023, at approximately 12:50 pm, I drove my 2015 Jeep Cherokee into my houses’ garage and parked. I went inside my house to meet an air conditioning repairman. No sooner than a minute or two had passed that I immediately heard noises coming from my garage.The noises sounded like mechanical in nature. It almost sounded like a washing machine agitating. I opened my side door of the garage and saw a plum of grey smoke billowing from the engine’s hood. Then I saw what looked like sparks and very small flames coming from underneath the front engine. Within a split second, I got into my car and turned on the ignition. I saw no lights on the dashboard indicating that I had a problem. I proceeded to pull the car out of the driveway (the garage door was already up) and exited the car as quickly as...

I am complaining regarding an unresolved recall issue. Its been since May 2023, initial publication said it would be resolved by the end of the 2nd quarter now they are not saying when it will be resolved.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contacted stated that while refueling, he became aware of smoke underneath the hood. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

While we were driving to the store, the front sunroof popped and then exploded. Glass shards fell onto my husband and myself and the loud bang sounded like a gun.

My 2015 Jeep haslocked up on me twice now. The power brake system comes on automatic and I cannot accelerate. The first time it happened it about threw me into the windshield. This second time it jerked me forward. It has been in the dealership once to fix the problem. Now it has done it again. The warning lights come on the dash as power brake system malfunction, check engine soon, do not engage and put vehicle in park and several other warnings.

I received a recall notice from JEEP for "2.4L In-use NOx - catalyst efficiency". When I call the number provided (847) 649-6660, they tell me they don't have the part in stock and to call back in 3 weeks. After months of this repeated process I called JEEP's main customer service number and they basically told me too bad and gave me a bunch of different numbers to call but all of them tell me there's nothing they can do and its possible that I can go to another state or that they might be able to get the parts by December at one of the Illinois locations. I can't make a scheduled appointment or be put on a wait list. These Jeep dealerships are purposely putting people in safety risk because they don't make money doing the recall and are getting away with it by saying "we don't have...

My alternator went out and was replaced and while in doing they said my gear shifter broke and when they tried to replace it that the new one broke too. My parking brake and check engine light are now on and they are not sure why.

The vehicle lift gate gets stuck, and will not open or close properly via the button. I have to manually close it.

Car will shut down on the free way. Car will go 65 MPH and suddenly give out. The car will be on but the engine will be off. Car will turn off anywhere at any time. I bought a new PCM and issue is still occurring. Car is in great condition but won’t start properly and feel scared for my life when I have to drive it.

1 - Two piece lug bolts, swollen due to poor design, causing unsafe conditions rendering OEM provided tools unusable to conduct emergency roadside tire change/repair. 2 - UCONNECT emergency vehicle connectivity not maintained by manufacturer after 3G network retired, rendering installed safety equipment inoperable.

A few months after i got the car, a bump feels at first gear before 2nd gear starts, its been doint it till today, a vibration started a year ago, it hasn't gone away, power steering went out year and a half ago or so, its electrical so i had to change the whole part, went car is turned off you can hear the vibration sound for a second, some mechanics say the motor mounts are worn out, who kmows. For 2015 to have theese problems? I have older cars and dont have these problems, wonder what these can be. Guess just bad car and still paying it, good thing its still runs, just hoping not to break the road.

Vehicle was parked at 10pm. Vehicle ignition was off. Vehicle was locked. Nothing left on. No one returned to the car for annything. Approximately 3 and half hours later, electrical fire started inside the drivers side rear quarter panel under the taillight (on the body, not the taillight on the lift gate) . By the time the car alarm was heard, the fire was spreading from the panel into the rest rear of the vehicle. Fire department arrived and extinguished the fire.

Electronic park break. Was repaired but still won’t turn off.

UNKNOWN I had to jump my vehicle due to battery dying out. Once jumped, I received a warning that my electrical emergency park brake malfunctioned. I had trouble shifting gears if I could get them to shift at all. I could hear and feel grinding beneath the jeep. Looking deeper into this it was discovered that there is a vehicle investigation (pending potential recall) on water leaking inside the vehicle to be causing corrosion leading to the E Break module to fail in my specific model. I eventually got the vehicle towed to the dealership. Their service department claimed I may have spilled drinks into my module. I do not buy drinks or carry any in my vehicle cupholders (which are placed by design right behind the gear shift module). Nothing was spilled, the damage is consistent with the common issue pending investigation #PE22009. I am currently awaiting a complete...

I am not completely certain which of the above selected items is the cause of my vehicle malady, though I have been instructed by a mechanic that it could be the drive train maybe (I could be misremembering). At any rate, the vehicle stalls at random intervals, without advance notification of a problem. No warning light or sound is produced until the moment it stalls at which time a warning sound without accompanying light is produced. The vehicle will stall regardless of whether or not it has been pre-heated, despite the season/weather, and has stalled while I was in the midst of turning left against oncoming traffic with my SON in the car! The vehicle replicated this behavior during a mechanic’s test drive following a break line repair. He indicated it may be the above mentioned issue. All information can be provided upon request. I have researched this issue and...

Was driving home for lunch and stopped at traffic light. Parking brake self-engaged and would not release. I could not move the car in either direction. Repeated attempted to get parking brake to release by pushing/pulling on switch. Finally turned off car (sitting in moving traffic) and when I restarted the brake released. Was able to get car home and parked. Called my regular mechanic and got it in yesterday, but again brake wouldn't release (it had not been set) without turning car off and on. When my repair shop took the components apart, it revealed that water had leaked down into the computer system that controls the parking brakes (had various flashing lights on dash -- odometer/stop/start signal, etc.) and damaged the circuitry. The repair shop called to explain this problem and noted that NHTSA had begun and investigation into this problem in July and had about 80 cases...

I am not sure if it is my PTU system but my vehicle shuts off when I am at a stop or idling. It is very unsafe to drive and could cause collision. I took it to a local shop and the owner said the scanner read nothing! Something is wrong if my car continues to completely shut off while in drive.
