2016 JEEP CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems

Transmission will not shift out of low gear. Especially when on a steel hill. Also, turn signals will not turn off unless I manually do so. Dealer tells me I must let them do a $125 diagnostic test, (I pay for it), then must be reviewed before they can say it’s a warranty or not. These seem to be common problems that many Cherokee owners have but never recalled.

Service shifter message comes up on dashboard of vehicle. All the lights on the shifter turn red and the dashboard will not permit changing the screen message. This happened frequently in 2019 for the vehicle. Service at the dealership replaced the shifter wiring harness and bezel kit. Now the same issue is occurring with the same service message for the shifter. Dealership states the shifter bezel needs to be replaced with updated version. If this problem worsens, the vehicle could stop shifting and/or be unable to put the vehicle into park. This is a common problem for Jeep Cherokees as seen on online forums from owners.

I was at the store came out started my jeep sat there for a minute put my jeep in drive pressed the gas pulled forward out of the parking spot when my jeep stopped my dash said put in park then select gear well i was in the middle of the lane and i couldn’t press the brake or turn my wheel there was a car coming down the lane and my jeep was just sitting there not able to turn back on. finally i was able to get my jeep to turn back on and i put it in reverse and left it in the parking lot if I were to drive home and that happened there could’ve been a major accident! I’m so grateful I was not on the interstate!

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been noticing the car does not react when I press the gas… like there’s a delay In catching speed.., like stalling, last night the “service shifter” light came on and all the PRN&D lights are on and I’m scared for my kids and my safety.

The "service shifter" warning come on. And all of the lights go on on the shifter for example Park Neutral, Drive. I had this problem a couple of years ago and the dealer replaced the shifter assembly and harness. Now the same problem is happening. After shutting off the engine the message disperses but comes back on after a few minutes. Now I'm afraid that I'll have to pay for the repair because the car has 48,000 miles on it and out of warranty. Is there a recall on this problem?

TRANS SERVICE SHIFT LIGHT. I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAIL HAWK. TODAY (5/12/2021) IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE BROUGHT MY JEEP IN FOR THIS PROBLEM. FIRST WAS ON 04/17/2019 @ 17,330 MILES. SECOND WAS ON 02/04/2020 @ 21,917 MILES. THE THIRD WAS TODAY 05/12/2021 @29,046 MILES. EVERY TIME THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE BEZEL AND THE HARNESS FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER. I KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE FROM RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS. JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OR PAY ME EVERY TIME I HAVE TO TAKE OFF OF WORK TO BRING MY VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP.

I'VE READ MUCH ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY 2016 JEEP WITH LESS THAN 20K MILES ON IT IS GETTING A "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING MESSAGE. WHEN THIS LIGHT TURNS ON, ALL THE SHIFTER LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IT CLEARS THE FAULT ONLY TO SEE THE ERROR MESSAGE POP UP AGAIN WITHIN 5 OR SO MINUTES OF DRIVING. THIS ALSO MAKES IT WHERE I CANNOT MANUALLY UP OR DOWN SHIFT. NO ISSUES TURNING OR STATIONARY, SEEMS TO BE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE CITY OR HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STOP/START SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLAKE FULENWIDER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP OF CLYDE (110 N S ACCESS RD, CLYDE, TX 79510, (325) 893-1416) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY SENSOR, UNDER HOOD SWITCH, AND AN UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,266.

ONLY 60K ON MY JEEP CHEROKEE AND SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON. THIS REMAINED ON THE 21 MILES TO MY JOB.

THE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON ON 04/01/2021. IT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TRIP HOME FROM MY SCHOOL OF EMPLOYMENT. I NOTED THIS IS A POPULAR PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. PREVIOUSLY, I HAD VERY SCARY PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN AN ONGOING SUIT THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT WITH ONLY 11850 MILES BEGAN JERKING AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY... FINALLY IT STALLED COMPLETELY AND THE LOW OIL INDICATOR SHOWED. I THEN DISCOVERED THE 2.4L TIGERSHARK ENGINE WAS DOWN OVER 2 QTS. THERE WAS NO PRIOR LOW OIL INDICATION. I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE 2016 WHEN NEW. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON A COUNTY ROAD.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT AND WHEN I GOT TO MY FRIENDS GATED ENTRANCE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK SO I COULD ENTER THE GATE CODE ON TO THE KEY PAD. WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE- THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WENT ON BY ITSELF AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN TO ANY GEAR SO I COULDN'T PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE WAY FOR RESIDENTS TRYING TO ENTER. I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK AND WAIT AN HOUR DIRECTING TRAFFIC... HAD IT TOWED TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. NEXT MORNING HAD IT TOWED TO CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP IN BUFORD, GA.

I HAD MY CAR TOWED ON THE MORNING OF FEB. 20TH FROM MY HOME TO THE MALL OF GA CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP IN BUFORD, GEORGIA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT IT WAS THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $860.00 TO FIX. PART WOULDN'T BE IN UNTIL MARCH 3RD. OK, THEN GET A CALL SAYING THAT OIL GOT IN THE BOOSTER PUMP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP ALSO AND THIS IS GOING TO COST AN ADDITIONAL $1,200.00. TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD WITH REPAIRS. THEY WOULD ONLY CREDIT ME FOR 2 DAYS OF A RENTAL CAR AND I HAD TO PAY $350.00 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION WHILE MY CAR IS IN THEIR SERVICE DEPT WHERE I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW OFF THEIR LOT. GOT CAR BACK MARCH 5TH 2021. ON MARCH 7TH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES MADE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES BETWEEN 35-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE MADE AN AUDIBLE DINGING SOUND WITH A MESSAGE DISPLAYED TO TURN-OFF THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MINUTES THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS A PARKING BRAKE ISSUE. MY PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT DISENGAGE, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACK, THE LIGHT REMAINS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. MY JEEP IS INOPERABLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT IN TRAFFIC AND MY CAR REFUSED TO MOVE AT ALL. IT FINALLY MOVED OUT OF PARK IN 30 MINUTES. THE NEXT DAY MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT THE STORE. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP. THESE TWO INCIDENTS CAUSED ME TO BE STUCK DANGEROUSLY IN TRAFFIC AT A STREET LIGHT, AND THEN AGAIN AT THE GROCERY STORE IN THE PARKING LOT. AS OF NOW I AM WITHOUT MY CAR, BEING TOLD WATER GOT IN THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE MODULE. I AM TOLD IT ALSO REQUIRES A ELECTRONIC...

CAR SHUTS OFF MID-DRIVE / MID-TURN WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING. NO LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED IN THE DASH CLUSTER AFTER OR DURING. NO EXPLANATION WHY.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING COMES ON EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON. THE LIGHT INDICATORS ON THE THE GEAR SHIFTER NO LONGER COME ON. THE DASHBOARD IS LOCKED WITH THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE. IT HAS BEEN RECURRING FOR THE PAST MONTH. MECHANICS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING DURING NIGHT TIME, WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE HEADLIGHTS INDEPENDENTLY TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MALL OF GEORGIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (4345 BUFORD DR, BUFORD, GA 30518, (770)945-0839) WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED SHE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30.

ON 01/16/2021 I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM 4TH TO 5TH AND MY ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. UPON GETTING HOME I PULLED THE OBD AND RECEIVED CODE P0887 WHICH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE RECALL OUTLINED THE SYMPTOMS I WAS HAVING TO A T. UPON CALLING JEEP AFTER READING THE RECALL I LEARNED THIS VIN WAS NOT RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS FOR THE RECALL WERE THE SAME WE WERE EXPERIENCING. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS ONLINE I THINK THIS IS A WIDER RECALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE SINCE THE RECALL AND SERVICE BULLETIN RELEASE DATE IN JUNE 2018 THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ATTACHED MY DIAGNOSTIC SCAN SO YOU CAN SEE THE FREEZE FRAME AND CODE BEING THROWN ON THE VEHICLE. THAT BEING SAID THIS CAR IS...

1. THE NEW BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD ON MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY ON MAY 28, 2020 AND ON 1-17-21 THE NEW BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD. 2. WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON AND BRAKES THE CAR, I DISENGAGED THE BRAKE AND CONTINUED OUT OF DRIVE WAY AND WILL DO IT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS.

GEAR SHIFT ERROR LIGHTS! WHILE DRIVING ALL THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS CAME ON. PULLED OVER TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. WHEN I PICKED UP TO SPEED THE LIGHTS CAME BACK. THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN TURNING AND STARTED JERKING WITH TAKE OFF. ONCE THE POWER SHUTS OFF THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START AND TURNED OVER UNTIL IT CAUGHT ON. I DRIVE AROUND A LARGE CITY WITH LOTS OF HIGHWAYS FOR A LIVING AND I AM AFRAID THE CAR MAY LOSS POWER IN TRAFFIC! THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SUMMER 2020

I KEEP HAVING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' POP UP WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS. IT ORIGINALLY POPPED UP ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT POPS UP AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. AND THE THIRD TIME THEY CLEANED A CONNECTOR. AFTER ALL THREE TIMES I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THE CAR WAS FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN THE MESSAGE CAME BACK.

THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER ' ICON WAS ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE GEAR SELECTOR INDICATOR LIGHTS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER REVIEWING WEB SITES THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEES.

CAR SHUT DOWN IN MIDDLE OF ROAD, HAPPENED FEW MORE TIMES, CAR IS CONSUMING GAS IN LESS THEN 700 MILES, MECH SAYS ITS A ENGINE ISSUE, I HAVE TO REFILE EVERY FEW DAYS, CAR IS STRUGGLING TO MOVE, I FEAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN IF I DO NOT FILL IN A DANGEROUS LOCATION

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING COMES ON, RANDOMLY, AND VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO CLEAR WARNING AND WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS AS NOTHING, GEAR RELATED, WILL FUNCTION (DRIVE/REVERSE, ETC) UNTIL SAID RESTART IS DONE. NOTE THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE/SHIFT/PARK, ETC. THERE IS NOTHING THAT INDICATES A MALFUNCTION WILL HAPPEN AND GIVEN IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, SAFETY IS A MAJOR CONCERN. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE 12.2.20 WITH THE MOST RECENT BEING 12.16.20

I BOUGHT A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WITH 56,000. I HAD IT FOR 1 DAY BEFORE I GOT A SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIT UP RED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME IN RIGHT AWAY, BUT THE LIGHT WENT OFF WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME BACK ON FOR A FEW WEEK, BUT NOW IT COMES ON EVERYDAY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2016-2019 JEEP'S, AND EVEN AFTER GETTING THE WIRING AND SHIFTER REPLACED THE ISSUE WILL COME BACK. I'VE READ ABOUT PEOPLE WHOSE CAR GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND THEY CAN'T PUT IT INTO DRIVE OR PARK. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING TO HAVE THE ISSUE 'FIXED' WHEN IT ISN'T REALLY GETTING FIXED AND NOBODY...

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SHUT DOWN MID TURN OR WHILE DRIVING. ON MANY TURNS, IT DIES AS I COMPLETE THE TURN. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY JEEP'S ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN ON A CITY STREET IN MORNING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. MY JEEP DEALER SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO "10-11 CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE/RAM VEHICLES". HIS SUGGESTIONS WAS "TO GET AN OIL CHANGE" AND IT WILL FIX IT. I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSIEST STREET IN THE CITY DURING LUNCH TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-7 TIMES THIS YEAR. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING. I IMAGINE THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY AND FREE WAY WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS. CARS WERE SWERVING TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH MY...

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OUT OF NO WHERE MY JEEP BEGUN TO STALL AND ALL THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND LOST POWER, I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THIS IS THE 3 TIME IT HAPPENS IN 2 DAYS IT RUNS FINE AND OUT OF NO WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS. I CHECKED WITH THE CODE READER AND ALOT IF CODES WITH THE LETTER U POPPED UP STEERING WHEEL SENSOR AND OTHER THINGS I'VE NEVER HEARD OFG I WAITED FOR THE VEHICLE TO GET COLD CHECKED THE HARNESS AND PUT A NEW BATTERY. BROUGHT IT TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR CHECKED AT ADVANCED AUTO AND THE ALTERNATOR IS FINE. LEAVING ADVANCED AUTO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I HAD TO CALL ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE JEEP HOME. THIS MORNING IT STARTED RUNNING FINE ON OUR WAY TO THE STORE A...

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT SHIFTER STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ON AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THE SAME VEHICLES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED AND I JUST GOT IT. IT LOCKED UP ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT SHIFT IN TO NEUTRAL OR IN GEAR SO I COULD GET IT OUT THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I FINALLY GOT IT TO RELEASE INTO NEUTRAL AND IT ROLLED BACK OFF THE ROAD. NOW IT SAYS SERVICE E BRAKE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS WAY BEYOND YOUR TYPICAL CAR ISSUE THAT CAN BE FIXED FOR A FEW BUCKS. UNSAFE FOR MY KIDS.

MY VEHICLE IS AT 86,500 MILES AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE HAS COME UP ON MY DASHBOARD MORE THAN ONCE NOW AND FROM WHAT I CAN FIND, THERE IS NO SOLID OR PERMANENT FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE THE BE ABLE TO FIX MY CAR AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AGAIN.

THE BEZEL AROUND THE SHIFTER (THE PART WITH THE LIGHTS SPECIFICALLY) STARTED SHORTING AND GIVING AN ERROR TO SERVICE THE SHIFTER. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO AWAY IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHERE, WHEN SHIFTING, THE CAR REFUSES TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR AND STAYS IN PARK. MY FEAR IS THAT ONE DAY IT WILL BE SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, I WILL REVERSE AND THEN NO LONGER BE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, THUS STRANDING ME IN REVERSE.

SERVICE TRANSMISSION ERROR ALERTING AFTER CAR REACHES 50MPH. CAR LOSES ABILITY TO CHANGE GEARS AND DROPS DRASTICALLY IN SPEED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. AFTER RESET WHICH ONLY LASTS A SHORT TIME AND ERROR CONTINUES. WHEN CAR IS PUT IN PARK TEMPORARILY RESETS BUT THEN ERRORS AGAIN OVER AND OVER WHEN SPEEDS INCREASE. RED SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON REGARDLESS OF ANY RESET.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVED FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR, ALL GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS, LIGHT UP AS WELL AS A MESSAGE DISPLAYING "SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER". THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT NOBODY CAN SEEM TO GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER AS TO HOW TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUE, REPLACED THE SHIFTER 3 TIMES AND PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK MONTHS LATER

SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUES, THIS IS MY FOURTH TIME NEEDING TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE BEZEL AND HARNESS.. DASH SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER AND ALL LIGHTS FROM PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE ETC LIGHT UP RED WHILE DRIVING AT WHICH TIME MUST PULL VEHICLE OVER AND RESTART TO RESET IT UNTIL REPAIRED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES NOW BEGINNING IN 2016, 2017, 2019, AND AGAIN NOW IN 2020. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE WITH THIS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST PERHAPS PUTTING OUT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

IT FIRST STARTED WITH 911 VEHICLE PHONE "VEHICLE PHONE REQUIRES SERVICE" PLEASE CONTACT DEALER. THEN AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE DISPLAY WILL TAKE A WHILE TO TURN ON, AT ONE POINT DURING THAT TIME I WENT TO TURN ON MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, IT SAID "KEY FOB NOT FOUND" WHEN KEY WAS WITH ME. IT DID FINALLY TURN ON AFTER I REMOVED THE KEY FROM FOB. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID SOME UPDATES ON IT, COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER. WAS WORKING FINE AFTER THAT, BUT TWO DAYS LATER I GOT THE INITIAL MESSAGE FROM ABOVE AND MY GPS WAS NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WILL DO UPDATES AGAIN. DEALER CAME BACK AND SAID DURING THE UPDATES THE RADIO WENT (STOP WORKING)AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIO. THEY ORDERED ONE, I TOOK IT IN FOR...

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT FIXED BEFORE. LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITHIN 3 MONTHS AFTER GETTING IT FIXED. I SAW A POST ON FACEBOOK ABOUT A LADY THAT HAD IT HAPPEN TO HER 2017 CHEROKEE. SHE STATED THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND THAT HER WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE AND THE CAR SPED UP AND SHE CRASHED. CHRYSLER IS INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY.

THE SUNROOF WILL NOT CLOSE. WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED TO AUTO-CLOSE THE SUNROOF, THE ROOF BEGINS TO CLOSE BUT STOPS 3-5 INCHES FROM FULL CLOSE AND THEN REOPENS FULLY. IT TAKES THREE ATTEMPTS TO AUTO-CLOSE BEFORE THE SYSTEM STOPS AUTO-CLOSE AND THEN YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE CLOSE BUTTON FOR IT TO FULLY CLOSE. I'VE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE DURING WARRANTY BUT IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

I HAVE 43,000 ON MY 2016..WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY AND MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING CAME ON AND NOW SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON....SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM

WHILE DRIVING, MY JEEP WILL COME UP WITH A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' WARNING AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WILL COME ON. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.

45695 MILES "SERVICE SHIFTER" SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD.I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SHIFT LIGHTS WERE ON.

FIRST THIS JEEP USES OIL FAST. I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN THE CAR WAY BEFORE IT'S DUE TO BE CH AGED. THE CAR WILL STALL AND STOP AND HAVE NO POWER. IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HWY AND WOULD NOT GO. I HAD TO CUT IT OFF AND BACK ON IT WOULD GO ABOUT 500 FEEL AND DO IT AGAIN. NOW THIS JEEP HAS LEFT ME STRANDED A FEW TIMES. IT JUST WOULD NOT CRANK. REPLACED BATTERY IN KEY FOB AND STILL NOTHING. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN AND FLASH CODES. IT TOLD ME TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION ABOUT 54000 MILES AND WOULDN'T GO. BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY UPDATED IT BUT THOSE PROBLEMS ONLY FIXED IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. *TR

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE PAST YEAR. HAD IN 6 MONTHS AGO AND THEY TOLD ME IT JUST NEEDED A "SOFTWARE UPDATE". NOW 6 MONTHS LATER THEY SAY IT NEED A NEW SHIFTER AN WIRE HARNESS FOR $500. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ORIGINALLY SINCE IT'S THE SAME ISSUE AND NOW NOT UNDER WARRANTY. INTERNET HAS MANY COMPLAINTS FROM THIS KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR, MY BATTERY HAS DIED (OCT), MY HARSH COLD START NEEDED REPLACEMENT (NOV), MY RADIO COMPLETELY DIED AND COULD NOT BE UPDATED (DEC) AND RECENTLY WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS AND BY FAR THE MOST CONCERNING IS THAT MY JEEP WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOPPING FOR ONLY A MINUTE. THIS IS NOT SUE RO LOW OIL OR ANYTHING OF MY OWN DOING. IT WILL TELL ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEN INTO GEAR. YESTERDAY WAS THE MOST CONCERNING AS IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND NOTHING WORKING, STEERING, LIGHTS NOTHING AT ALL ON THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK BUT MY KEYS WOULDN'T EVEN BE RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER WHO THEN STATED THEY CAN'T FIND A CODE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, THE...

'SERVICE SHIFTER' IS DISPLAYED, MEANING I CANNOT USE ANY OF THE IN VEHICLE CONTROLS OR USE THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION FEATURE OR SEE WHAT GEAR I AM IN. IT'S AN AUTOMATIC BUT HAS THE MANUAL OPTION. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE EFFECTED BY THIS, NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ASAP OR GROUNDS FOR A CLASS ACTION IF NO ACTION IS TAKEN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE TUES.5/26/2020,WE WERE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT,WHEN I ACCELERATED TRANSMISSION ACT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL,SO I LOOKED AND IT WASN'T IT SLOWLY ACCELERATED AND AS WE CONTINUED THE DASH WENT DARK,WHEN IT CAME BACK,THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HAD ERROR CODE STATING AIRBAG NEEDED UPDATE.I GOT HOME AND TRIED CHECKING TRANSMISSION AND NOTICED,A COMPUTER INSTEAD OF STICK SO I RESEARCH PROBLEM AND FOUND RECALLS ON YEAR AND TYPE VEHICLE.WHEN I CALLED TO CHECK AND DESCRIBE MY SYMPTOMS I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WASNT ON RECALL.I WAS WONDERING HOW EXACT YEAR,MAKE,AND MODEL OF VEHICLE ON RECALL,BUT EVEN THOUGH MINE IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL!! *TR

MY DASH IS DISPLAYING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND MY LIGHTS BY MY SHIFTER ARE ALL LIT UP BESIDE THE REVERSE. IT BEGAN DOING IT ONLY IN REVERSE BUT NOW, 9 MONTHS LATER, IS DOING IT AT ANY GIVEN POINT. I DID A SCAN ON IT AND IT SAYS HAS TO DO WITH THE 'TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE' AND 'ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE'. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY LOST POWER. LIGHT ON DASHBOARD INDICATED SOMETHING WITH TRANSMISSION. DEALER INSPECTED AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG MECHANICALLY. IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN REAR ENDED. IF NOTHING WAS WRONG MECHANICALLY, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE LOST POWER. A NOTIFICATION WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SUITABLE. CARCOMPLAINTS WEBSITE HAS 50 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2016 CHEROKEE DYING OR LOSING POWER FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE COMPUTER. EVERYONE OF THEM STATES HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS WHILE IN TRAFFIC.

PURCHASED MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 BRAND NEW WITH 3 MILES. IT NOW HAS 71,000 MILES, WHEN COMING TO A STOP, CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND A MESSAGE READS ACROSS THE SCREEN "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR" I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART AND THE ENGINE HESITATES TO START BUT AFTER A MINUTE OR SO IT RESTARTS. I TURN A CORNER AND SHUTS OFF AGAIN WITH MESSAGE "BLIND SPOT ALERT UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" TOLD THIS IS DUE TO OIL BEING VERY LOW WITH AN OIL CHANGE IT SHOW SOLVE THE SHUT OFF PROBLEM.
