2016 JEEP CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems

VEHICLE'S SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT REMAINS ON AND ALL LIGHTS BESIDE GEARS PRND REMAIN ON. OCCURS AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT.

SERVICE SHIFTER NOTIFICATION KEEPS POPPING UP AND YOU MUST STOP VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF AND OPEN THE DOOR TO RESET IT. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT GOES BAD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS HAPPENED A LOT SO WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?

THE PROBLEM STARTED 7/23/2019. THE JEEP IS STOPPING RANDOMLY AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. IT STARTS BACK UP BUT THE AC IS ON DEFROST AND I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK ON COOL. THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS I READ ABOUT SOME REVIEWS THAT STATED IT COULD BE BECAUSE AN OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED. SINCE IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE, I DID THAT. BUT THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING, RANDOMLY STOPPING. ALSO CHANGED A DIRTY AIR FILTER. SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR 7/29/19 AND WILL SEE IF JEEP CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET ALL OF THE GEAR SHIFTS LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHERE YOU SEE YOUR MILEAGE THAT SCREEN READ SERVICE SHIFTER. THIS STAYED VISIBLE UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE CAR ALSO JERKS WHILE IN MOTION AND THE BRAKES WHERE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED LAST WEEK FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM BUT ITS STILL FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE GRINDING.

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED JEEP LATITUDE. WITHIN TWO MONTHS THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENTIRE CONSOLE LIT UP RED. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED OFF AND ON UNTIL I TOOK IT FOR SERVICING. THIS ISSUE SHOWED UP WHILE IN PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN PULLING OUT AND THEN WHEN I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION. IT WAS FIXED IN MINUTES ???? BUT IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE NEVER CORRECTED BY CHRYSLER/ JEEP

WHILE IN MOTION THE SHIFTER INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP AND "SERVICE SHIFTER" APPEARS ON THE CONSOLE OVERRIDING THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER, THE ONLY WAY TO RESET THIS IS TO STOP THE CAR, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART. THIS HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN AND UNPREDICTABLE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO HAPPEN. (RESETTING IS ONLY TEMPORARY AS WELL)

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE HAS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. A "SHIFT GEAR" LIGHT WARNING APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD. BOTH TIMES IT OCCURED SHORTLY WHILE STARTING TO DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. THEREFORE, OCCURED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF STARTING THE ENGINE. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURED WITHIN SECONDS AFTER TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEEN SHOWING A SERVICE SHIFTER ON MY SCREEN AND ALL OF MY LIGHTS ARE SOLID ON MY SHIFTER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I ALSO HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY CAR AFTER THIS HAPPENS

WHILE IN MOTION: 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL RANDOMLY LOSE ENGINE POWER DURING A RIGHT TURN (ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND AT LOW SPEED ON CITY STREET), STEERING LOCKS UP, DECELERATES AUTOMATICALLY, AND DASH SAYS TO PUT VEHICLE INTO MANUAL MODE AND SELECT THE DESIRED GEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TWO TIMES.

THE POWER LIFT GATE HAS FAILED TO LIFT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ONCE, THE LIFT GATE ACTUALLY FELL UNEXPECTEDLY, HITTING ME IN THE HEAD! IT SEEMS TO STRUGGLE TO LIFT ON MOST ATTEMPTS.

THIS ISSUES HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. I AM DRIVING WITH NO ISSUES AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOSES SPEED. I WILL GO FROM 70-0MPH WITH IN SECONDS, ALL THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON ON MY DASH BOARD AND I AM UNABLE TO SPEED UP OR EVEN STEER OUT OF THE WAY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER,NO CARS BEHIND ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT WITH OUT A QUESTION. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CAR SHUT DOWN WITH OUT ACTUALLY TURNING OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR ME BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED. AS SOON AS THEY WOULD CONNECT IT TO DIAGNOSE THEY SAID THE CODES WOULD CLEAR AND THE CAR...

I TURNED ON THE CAR, LET IT WARM UP FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. PUT IT IN DRIVE, I WAS ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON, THE CAR STALLED AND THE MOTOR TURNED OFF. THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN DRIVE AND I HAD TO FORCEFULLY FIND A WAY TO MOVE IT TO NEUTRAL OR PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. WHEN I CHECKED THE FLUIDS ON THE VEHICLE EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE OIL DIP STICK. ALL THE OIL HAD BURNED AWAY AND I WAS STILL ABOUT 2000 MILES AWAY FROM NEXT OIL CHANGE. ALL MY OIL CHANGES WERE DONE AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND WE USED SYNTHETIC OIL TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS THAT NO WARNING SIGNS ARE GIVEN TO THE DRIVERS AND THAT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF IN...

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND TWO MILES INTO MY COMMUTE I NOTICED THAT A MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH. IT IS ( SERVICE SHIFTER) MESSAGE. MY SHIFTER HAS RED LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON ALL THE SELECTIONS IN THE SHIFTER. I OWN A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 75TH EDITION, WITH ABOUT 58,0000 MILES. I BELIEVE A LOT OF FOLKS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARED, EMI LIT & CAR WENT FROM GEAR TO CLUTCH CAUSING LOSS OF POWER & COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES CAR WENT BACK INTO GEAR & WAS ABLE TO REGAIN PROPER SPEED. WHEN I FILLED WITH GAS THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WENT OFF. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 400 MILES THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE, FORTUNATELY IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY & I WAS ABLE TO GET IN RIGHT LANE. IF THERE HAD BEEN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT STAYED ON SO I TOOK MY JEEP TO A MECHANIC. THE CODE SAYS THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER FOR THE TRANSMISSION, IT GETS TOO HOT& THE CAR GOES OUT OF GEAR TO THE CLUTCH, THEN BACK IN GEAR. I READ ONLINE...

RANDOMLY..... WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL TURN RED. THE LIGHTS STAY RED & THE WARNING STAYS ON THE DASH & I AM UNABLE TO SEE MY SPEED LIMIT OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE DETAILS. THIS STAYS ON UNTIL I PARK & TURN MY VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAPPENS DAILY AT RANDOM MOMENTS, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR MOVING, NO MATTER THE SPEED BEING TRAVELED, & NO MATTER THE LOCATION. IT IS ALWAYS RANDOM.

SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED IN TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN THE SPAN OF A MONTH. FIRST ENCOUNTER, WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER TAKING THE CAR OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT. I WAS ENTERING THE DRIVE AWAY AND ALL OF SUDDEN, SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED AND ALL THE GEAR INDICATORS FLASHED BRIGHT RED. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP,, I PROBABLY PUT LESS THAT 10 MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE IGNITION. PUT IT IN DRIVE, THIS TIME WHILE STATIONARY AND IT APPEARED AGAIN. I DIDN'T TAKE A PHOTO THE FIRST TIME, AS I ASSUMED IT WAS A FLUKE. DIDN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE AFTER THAT TILL TODAY, MAY 17TH. I STARTED UP THE IGNITION AND HEADED ON MY WAY OFF, WITHIN 5 MINS OF MY RIDE, I HEARD A BEEP. LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE AGAIN SO I DROVE OFF INTO A PARKING LOT...

I BOUGHT IT USED AND IT HAD 1 RECALL THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED AND NOW THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE READ 100S OF OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH LITTLE TO NO PERMANENT RESOLUTION.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. MUST STOP AND SHUT DOWN TO RESET.

TAMARA RECALL...EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP BRANNEW THE RADIO SOMETIMES DOES NOT WORK, SERVICE SHIFTER IS COMING UP, ALSO OTHER THINGS ARE COMING UP SAYING AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN SERVICE..WHEELS ARE NOT STRAIGHT, AMONG OTHER THINGS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A JEEP THAT'S 3 YEARS OLD. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 99.00 TO CHECK IT OUT PLUS WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS. I'M VERY DISGUSTED BECAUSE I LOVE THIS CAR, TOOK MY ANXIETY AWAY, BUT NOW I'M NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT PERIOD. I HATE TO TRADE IT OFF FOR A TOYOTA OR HONDA. PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS. IS IT DANGEROUS TO RIDE WITH SERVICE SHIFTER LIT? THIS SHOULD BE A FREE RECALL TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING. NO ONE HAS ANSWERS. I'VE SEENIN THE INTERNET MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON DASH AND ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFTER STAY LIT UP RED. ONCE I TURN OFF VEHICLE AND TURN BACK ON IT TURNS OFF BUT COMES BACK ON AFTER A WHILE OF DRIVING. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE LIKE THIS ONCE THE LIGHTS COME ON.

MY VEHICLE JEEP WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND I ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN MY JEEP SLOWED WAY DOWN. WHEN I ACCELERATED IT WOULD HARDLY MOVE. MIND YOU I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE!! VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD WITH MY JEEP WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY IT JUMPS BUCKS AND REVS UP ON ITS OWN WHEN IT WAS DOING THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO BE HOOKED UP TO TESTER TO SEE WHY MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON? HAD TO REPLACE COIL PACK #4 AND I DID IT AGAIN 6 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD TO REPLACE COIL PACK #2. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 59064 MILES. I AM VERY SCARED TERRIFIED AND NERVOUS DRIVING ME JEEP.

MY JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 2016'S ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF MID DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES WHILE ON THE ROAD FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS OR SO. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS OR WHOMEVER MAY BE WITH ME IN MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE ISSUE BEGINS WITH THE DASH STARTING TO FLICKER, THE AC AND RADIO WILL SHUT OFF, ANY ACTIVELY ENABLED FUNCTIONS WILL SHUT OFF/DISABLE (LANE SENSE, CRUISE CONTROL, AUTO START/STOP), TWO TIMES OUT OF THE THREE, THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF SECONDS AFTER, CAUSING THE GREATEST RISK TO SAFETY SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ESSENTIALLY CRUISING WITH NO POWER WHATSOEVER AT AN AVERAGE OF 70MPH (MOSTLY DRIVE ON FREEWAYS/HIGHWAYS), FORCING ME TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/SHOULDER IN ORDER TO BREAK TO A FULL STOP, PLACE THE VEHICLE ON PARK AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE IN...

TCM MODULAR FAILS IN THE SEALED 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN 8 GEAR AFTER COMMING OF AN EXIT RAMP ENGINE LIFE CAME ON MASHES ON THE GAS TO GO THRU THE INTERSECTION NO POWER STUCK IN 8 GEAR WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT .. LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND ON COMING TRAFFIC HAS TO STOP AND ALLOW ME TO GET TRUE VERY SLOWLY... HORNS BLOWING AND CARS SWIRLING AROUND ME... VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CONSTANT SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO EXECUTIVE DODGE JEEP (203-949-7430, LOCATED AT 406 S ORCHARD ST, WALLINGFORD, CT 06492). THE DEALER REPLACED THE PCV VALVE, BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED IN AN UNSAFE MANNER ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY INDICATED THAT A BATTERY REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF A LOANER VEHICLE WOULD BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE...

2016 JEEP KL TRAILHAWK (V6) WILL RANDOMLY HAVE NO ELECTRICITY/POWER AT ALL. NOT EVEN TO UNLOCK DOORS OR FOR THE DOME LIGHTS TO COME ON. THIS IS AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS OVERNIGHT, FOR 10 TO 12 HOURS. I HAVE TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO JUMP START IT AND IT WILL RUN FINE FOR DAYS UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 WEEKS. THE BATTERY IS NEW. REPLACED 12/18, AND HAS BEEN TESTED SUCCESSFULLY BY 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS ALONG WITH THE JEEP'S CHARGING SYSTEM PASSING ALL TESTS... ALL CABLES/ CONNECTORS ARE TIGHT AND CLEAN. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL START, OR NOT.

SHORTLY AFTER I GET GAS THE VEHICLE WILL GO FROM DRIVE TO IDLE AND A WARNING MESSAGE WILL POP UP THAT SAYS I NEED TO SHIFT TO PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE WAITING TO TAKE A LEFT AT LIGHTS AND SOMETIMES AS SOON AS I GO TO PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED, AND THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (6019 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615), BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED AN OIL CHANGE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,175.

STALLS FOR NO REASON EMERGENCY BREAK TURNS ON BY ITSELF WON'T ACCELERATE WHILE ORIGINALLY IN MOTION ON FREEWAY TURNS OFF WHILE TURNING ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL ICONS GOING BIZERK

"4X4 UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED "MESSAGE CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHEN I STARTED IT. IT WAS PARKED FOR AROUND 4 HOURS AND WAS STATIONARY. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AFTER A DAY AND A HALF WAS TOLD A WIRE HAD ROTTED AND BROKE.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE SCREEN AND YOU CAN'T TELL IF THE THE IS IN DPRN BECUASE ALL THE LIGHTS ARE RED. THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. OR JERKS WHEN IT FINALLY DOES. THIS CARE HESITATES WHILE IN MOTION AND AS WELL AS WHEN STATIONARY AND TRYING TO MOVE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE RECALL THEY HAD WAS ONLY FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH THE SHIFTER BUT THIS ISSUE SHOULD ALSO BE A RECALL WITH THEM COVERING THE REPAIRS. I HAVE LESS THAN 50K MILES THERE IS NO REASON WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY BECUASE THE SHIFTER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY THEY SELL YOU.

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WITH 45,196 MILES DISPLAYED THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE PRND SHIFTER LIGHTS WERE ALL LIT UP RED. PULLED OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE MESSAGE DID NOT APPEAR. LATER IN THE DAY, THE RADIO DISPLAY STOPPED WORKING. SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN! 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE CAR WOULD STOP WHILE YOU DRIVING HIGH SPEED WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGN AND ALL THE LIGHT WILL COME ON CAN NOT SHIFTING OR RESTART THE CAR. IT HAPPENED ON ME TWICE ALREADY. ONE TIME ON HIGHWAY I-95, ONE TIME ON A BUSY LOCAL ROAD AT PA. JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS COMPUTER UPDATING, I COULD NOT GET IT. AFTER FIRST TIME THEY REPAIRED IT, I DID FEEL SOMETHING WIRED WITH THE CAR. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP TWO MORE TIME FOR DIAGNOSE. THEY ALL SAID THE CAR HAD NO PROBLEM. NOT EVEN A MONTH, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SUDDENLY STOP! THIS TIME THEY STILL TRYING TO FIX IT FOR ME, BUT I COULD NOT TRUST JEEP AGAIN. I MEAN IF THEY CAN FIX IT, IT WOULD NOT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THREE TIME WHAT EVER FIX OR DIAGNOSE.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A THERMOSTAT ISSUE. MY TOTAL REPAIR COST FOR THIS ONE PROBLEM WAS $866.06 AT THE PARAMUS NJ DEALER. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAD SUCH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHEN MY CAR IS 2016 AND I HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. I'M ALSO DISAPPOINTED THAT I WAS TOLD ONLY DEALERS CAN UPDATE THE COMPUTER ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING OF SENSOR ISSUES NOTING REPAIR WORK WASN'T NECESSARY. ALSO, WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY AUTO START DID NOT WORK.

MY JEEP KEEPS BREAKING DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL WRECKS BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE NOW DONE MY OWN RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE GOING ON WITH CARS THAT HAVE MY SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS I AM ALL OVER THE US. I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WHO WERE WRITING THESE COMMENTS ON THE JEEP WEBSITE AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THEY ARE NOT DEPENDABLE AND HIGHLY UNSAFE AS THEY HAVE ALSO ALMOST GOT INTO WRECKS BECAUSE OF IT. AT THIS POINT ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS GETS HURT DUE TO THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION OR WORSE, DEATH. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO STOP THE SALE OF THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I AM STUNNED NOTHING HAS YET TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MY...

PURCHASED VEHICLE ON 12/14/2015. ON 1/25/17, AT 17,000 MILES THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY AND CAUSING A TRAFFIC ISSUE. LAW ENFORCEMENT HAD TO BE CALLED TO RE-DIRECT TRAFFIC. SINCE THE FIRST STALL, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE LOCAL DODGE/JEEP DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUES (4/20/17, 8/18/17, 3/25/18 AND 12/4/18). THEY HAVE REPLACED COILS, FILTERS AND EXPLAINED THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN IF IT SENSES LOW OIL. THEY CONTINUE TO STATE THE OIL CONSUMPTION AS THE REASON FOR THE STALLS. THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION BUT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN EVERY 1000K MILES TO CHECK THE OIL. THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON 12/25/18. LUCKILY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO STOP. IF NOT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT WITH MY TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE. USUALLY IT TAKES SEVERAL HOURS FOR THE...

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE AND WARNING LIGHT APPEARS TO SHIFT CAR IN GEAR. THEN CAR TURNS OFF. CAN NOT USE BREAKS, ALL ELECTRONICS FLASH AND COLTAGE LIGHT ALARM COMES ON. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE, NO ERRORS FOUND. MY CHILDREN DROVE IT TODAY AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME IN ALONG WITH A MESSAGE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS DEAD. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND AGAIN NO ERROR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT JEEP DOES NOTHING.

I'VE HAD A SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEAR NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEN DISAPPEAR. WHEN I WOULD TAKE IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECORD OF THAT CODE BEING DISPLAYED IN THE CAR LOG/MEMORY AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DELEARSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. UPON DOING RESEARCH ON THIS MESSAGE I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IF LEFT UNCHECKED CAN CAUSE THE VECHICLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHILE IN MOTION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENTS. I HAVE RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE WHILE BOTH STATIONARY JUST WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION ON A ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE FAILED TO OPEN WITH THE ELECTRONIC BUTTON FUNCTION. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN THE LIFTGATE WITH THE POTENTIAL RISK OF BEING IMPACTED BY THE LIFTGATE COMING DOWN. LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM BOISE (222 S AUTO DR, BOISE, ID 83709) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER RECALL CAMPAIGN AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE CAR DIED WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A SAFE PLACE, BUT CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AGAIN AFTER FOR A FEW HOURS. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND CAME TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR DIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AND HE ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND HIM. THIS IS NOT SAFE. WE HAVE A ONE MONTH OLD CHILD, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING HER IN THE CAR. *DT*JB

THE TURN SIGNAL RIGHT STARTED TO GO OFF TOOK IT TO DEALER THEY REPAIR THIS HAPPEN S4 TIMES IN 2 YRS NOW THE LEFT SIDE IS DOING IT AND THE RIGHT SIDE ALSO THEY SAID IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND ITS GOING TO COST ME 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY EACHI TS NOT A PART THAT IS MOVED ITS A PLUG.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW. SINCE HAVING IT THE PANEL WHICH DISPLAYS THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY GO BLACK. I'VE ALSO HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES IF I'M AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN IT TURNS GREEN THE CAR WILL REV AND NOT MOVE ANYWHERE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 60 TO 40 VERY FAST AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I'VE ALSO BEEN DRIVING BEFORE AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE IT MAKES A NOISE LIKE ITS SHIFTING SUPER LOUD AND THE BRAKE CLICKS. MY VEHICLE IS IN FOR SERVICE RIGHT NOW BUT I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AT ALL. IT ONLY HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITH SUCH LOW...

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, AUTOMATIC 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO LOSE ALL ACCELERATION AT AROUND 60MPH. THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" NOTIFICATION APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED DECELERATING UNTIL IT WAS NECESSARY TO PULL OVER AND PARK. PROBLEM SEEMED FIXED AFTER AN ENGINE RESTART, BUT OCCURRED AGAIN AT HIGHER SPEED (60MPH). I DON'T KNOW WHY 2016 VEHICLES WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE S55 RECALL, IT IS THE SAME ISSUE.

EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING THE LAST TIME (4TH TIME) MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE TRANMISSION SEAL HAD A LEAK. WHILE THE MECHANIC WAS TEST DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKES FAILED WITH HIM. WHEN I HAVE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP AND THE BRAKES FAILED I WAS PULLING INTO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL AND NOT STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKE WERE AS HARD AS A ROCK AND JUST SIMPLY WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I FEEL AFTER 4 TIMES THIS CAR IS NOT REPAIRABLE AND I AM NOW MENTALLY ANQUISHED WITH DRIVING IT I AM AFRAID THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AGAIN AND I MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE AND POSSIBLY GET HURT, KILLED, KILL SOMEONE ELSE THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY ISSUE. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS...

I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED AND IT WAS NEVER FIXED. LOW POWER, HESITATIONS IN ACCELERATION, RANDOMLY DROPPING SPEED WHILE ACCELERATION, AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. IT HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AT ALL SPEEDS BUT MOSTLY AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH. IT ALL CONTINUES TO THIS DAY AND I HAVE ALL BUT GIVEN UP ON GETTING CHRYSLER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM SOMETIMES EVEN AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN ONE OR MORE OF THESE SYMPTOMS HAPPENS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. AS A CONSUMER I AM ENTITLED TO GET WHAT I PAY FOR!

I'VE HAD THE JEEP LESS THAN 2 YEARS . ONLY 14000 MILES ON IT . THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND LUNDGING WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTED OR STARTED OFF FROM A STOP. MY DAUGHTER AND I WHERE COMING BACK FROM THE HUMAN SOCIETY. WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH I HAD TO SLOW DOWN FOR ON COMING TRAFFIC.THE JEEP SHIFTED TO A LOWER GEAR AND LUNGED SO FIERCELY I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FALLEN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHCLE IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING SERVICE TRANSMISSION. I HAD NO POWER TO MOVE. IM ON AN OVER PASS WITH TRAFFIC AND THERES NO WHERE TO GO IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. BY CHANCE THE JEEP WAS ABLE TO START AND ACCELERATE TO 5MPH AND GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. IT WAS A VERY SERIOUS HAZARD FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER AND OTHER...

THE SHIFT REPORTS SERVICE SHIFTER ALL THE LIGHTS TURN ON, HAS NOT SHIFTED ON US

THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER. WHEN ACTIVE, THE MANUAL SHIFT DOESN'T WORK BUT FORWARD REVERSE AND PARK DO NOT SEEM TO BE AFFECTED. IF YOU STOP SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART, IT CLEARS. IT STARTED DOING THIS 6-9 MONTHS AGO ONCE IN A WHILE BUT NOW DOES IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY DEPENDING ON AMOUNT OF DRIVING. WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CODES OR PHYSICAL PROBLEMS BUT COULD REPLACE THE SHIFTER TO SEE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WE ELECTED NOT TO DO THIS AT THE PRESENT TIME. WE HAVE HEARD OF ACCIDENTS FROM THIS SO WE JUST WANTED TO NOTIFY YOU THAT IT IS HAPPENING. WE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.

ON JULY 18, 2018 I WENT OUTSIDE TO GET AN ITEM OUT OF BACK OF MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS STATIONARY AND I COULDN'T GET LIFTGATE TO LIFT AND I NOTICED THERE WAS SMOKE IN MY CAR, I OPENED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND SMOKE BILLOWED OUT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND MOVED IT BACK AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND NOTICED I HAD NO A/C, RADIO OR ANYTHING WORKING ON DASHBOARD. I LOOKED IN BACK OF VEHICLE AND IT WAS BURNT IN THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF LIFT GATE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO MIKE SMITH AUTO GROUP IN BEAUMONT. THE SMELL IN THE VEHICLE WAS AWFUL, A COMBINATION OF BURNT RUBBER AND PLASTIC. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR BACK LEFT LIFTGATE IN 2015 OF WHICH I TOOK IT IN AND SUPPOSEDLY IT WAS REPAIRED. I...

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, MY JEEP COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AND WE HAD TO START IT BACK UP AND IT STARTED BACK UP. HOWEVER THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEFORE AND THINK THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS CONSIDERING HOW MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS I AM SEEING ON THIS. I HAVE 2 KIDS IN MY CAR AT ALL TIMES AND FEAR IT DOING THIS WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO JEEP AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT BUT NOW IT JUST FEELS HESITANT WHILE DRIVING. SCARES ME TO DEATH

SHIFTER SERVICE PROBLEM SHIFTER AND WIRING NEED TO BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO DEALER MY CAR ONLY HAS FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND MILES ON IT SEARCH ONLINE REVEALS SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE ARE TALKS OF RECALLS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS POINT
