2016 JEEP CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems

AS OF LATELY, THE SPEEDOMETER TOOGLES UP & DOWN THROUGH A SET OF NUMBERS EVEN AFTER ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO REDUCE SPEED ESPECIALLY WHEN ON CRUISE CONTROL. DURING CRUISE CONTROL VEHICLE ACCELERATES BEYOND SET LIMIT & REQUIRES EXTREME FORCE TO DECELERATE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AS DOES MANY DANGEROUS ISSUES MAINLY AFTER A SOFTWARE UPDATE TAKES PLACE WITH THE VEHICLE. IF THE UPDATES DON'T CAUSE ACCELERATION CONCERNS IT CAUSES VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC & OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS A FEW HIGH RISKS FOR MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS WERE ONLY AVOIDED BY THE SWIFT MANEUVERING OF OTHER VEHICLES OR MYSELF WHEN POSSIBLE TO AVOID COLLISION. NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED SO MANY MALFUNCTIONS OF MECHANICAL/TECHNOLOGICAL PROBLEMS FROM A VEHICLE. AS FOR IF THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY, TURNING, BRAKING ETC WHEN THESE ISSUES OCCURED THE ANSWER WOULD BE MY JEEP HAS STALLED, LOSS SPEED,...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AT ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED STUTTERING AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE CAR PULLED UP A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT SAID, ' VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK TO START THE VEHICLE'. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. CAR IS SCHEDULED TO BE SERVICED.

AUTO ON/OFF WILL STOP WORKING AND NOTIFY ME ON MY SCREEN. IT WILL STATE I NEED TO GET IT SERVICED. ALSO IT WILL POP UP THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER STOPS WORKING, AND NEED TO GET IT SERVICED. BOTH WILL DISAPPEAR AFTER ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON.

MY CAR HAS A "SERVICE SHIFTER " MESSAGE POPPED UP AT 34461 MILEAGE GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY JUST STRAIGHT NO TURNING NO NOTHING. THE SHIFTER LIGHTS ARE ALL LITE UP AS WEEL AND I CANNOT SEE THE MIDDLE SCREEN THAT SHOWS MY MPH IN BIG LETTERS. I CALLED JEEP STATING NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. TURNED CAR OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AND NO MESSAGE SECOND TIME WAS AT 36044 MILES GOING 15 MPH THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND THE SHIFTER IS ALL LITE UP AND "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME BACK ON AGAIN . TURNED CAR OFF AFTER PARKING AND TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW HOURS AND WAS NOT ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER, SHIFTED INTO PARK, AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT WAITED APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. AS THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 34697040. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON I95 NEAR DC IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR WOULD COME TO A DEAD STOP WITH THE PARKING LIGHT AND TWO BATTERY LIGHTS ON. IT HAD THE MESSAGE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND THEN SHIFT TO DESIRED GEAR. IT DID NOT WORK AND IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SPEED HEAVY TRAFFIC I HAD TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE CAR FOR IT TO GO BACK INTO GEAR. I WENT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THERE WERE NO CODES WHEN THE CAR WAS CHECKED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT HAD TO BE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE. I WAS TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND MY JEEP DID THIS THREE TIMES. WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED . MY DEALERSHIP WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS.

MY VEHICLE WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 55 MPH AND DURING A DOWNHILL SLOPE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND RPMS JUMPED TO 6-8,000. I COULD NOT GET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO SHUTOFF AND STOP ACCELERATION. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT LURCH FORWARD AT STOP SIGNS WHEN TAKING OFF. *TT *TR

I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR THREE WEEKS. I PARKED MY CHEROKEE OUTSIDE MY OFFICE AT WORK, SHUT IT OFF AS NORMAL, AND CAME BACK OUT A FEW HOURS LATER TO RUN SOME ERRANDS. I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT STATED 'NO FOB DETECTED'. I TRIED THE AUTO START, WHICH WORKED, THE LOCK AND UNLOCK FROM THE KEY FOB WORKED, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE THE ONLY MESSAGE RECEIVED WAS 'NO FOB DETECTED'. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY TRIED TO WALK ME THROUGH A RESET, WHICH DID NOT WORK. AAA CAME OUT TO TRY TO ASSIST. THEY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY, TRIED JUMPING THE VEHICLE, AND PERFORMED THE RESET AS WELL. NONE OF THIS WORKED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AM STILL WAITING ON DIAGNOSTICS TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CENTURY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, 13500 VETERANS MEMORIAL PKWY, WENTZVILLE, MO 63385), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTING HAD BEEN SWITCHING BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT MODE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THEN WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AND GAVE A MESSAGE "YOU MUST BE IN PARK BEFORE SHIFTING GEARS". THE ENGINE THEN STOPPED. THIS OCCURRED IN A ROTARY, LUCKILY ON A QUIET STREET. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND IT APPEARED FINE.

WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALL LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKE PEDAL STUCK DOWN. I PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURNED KEY. TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE AND NOTHING STARTED... LIGHT JUST CAME ON THE DASH WITH EVERY ITEM FLICKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STILL STUCK DOWN. IF I OUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, UNABLE TO PUSH VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO REMOVE PARKING BREAK. KEEP IN MIND I'M AT A VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC INTERSECTION. TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES UNTIL THE CAR TOLD ME TO PRESS BREAK TO RELEASE PARKING BREAK . I TURNED THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. NOW I AM AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP. MY CAR HAS 19300 MILES.... NOTHING TO THIS EXTENT SHOULD BE GOING WRONG.

TODAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2018 I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AND MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AND IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING IT. I WAS ON A BUSY STREET IN MY TOWN AND ALMOST GOT T-BONED BY ANOTHER CAR. I AM 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I FEARFUL TO STEP BACK INTO MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT A COUPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUES AND NO LUCK GETTING IT FIXED. WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND REGULAR ROADS I WILL GET A WARNING CHIME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SERVICE PARKING BRAKE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE- OVERHEATED LIGHTS COME ON. I THEN LOSE POWER STEERING, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY STIFF AND THE BRAKES STOP WORKING. IT IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER TIME, TO NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR VEHICLE. I AM PREGNANT AND HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD CHILD AND DO NOT WANT THIS JEEP ANYMORE UNLESS FIXED. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT PEOPLE WITH THE SAME JEEP EVEN DIFFERENT YEARS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I HAVE MANY OF THE SAME IMAGES JUST ALL DIFFERENT...

THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN RE-ACCELERATING. (USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS) SOMETIMES THE RPM'S WILL INCREASE BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. (THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN YOU NEED TO GET UP TO SPEED SAFELY.) THERE IS ALSO A MINOR CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON. (MOSTLY JUST ANNOYING)

JEEP 2016 POWER LIFTGATE WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE. THIS LEADS TO THE INABILITY TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE LIFTGATE, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY LUMINATED. THERE ARE RECALLS; HOWEVER MY VIN ISN'T LISTED. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER WHO CHANGED THE STRUT FOR OVER $300 AND IT STILL OCCURS.

I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS WERE FROZEN IN PLACE AND THE ELICTRICAL EQUIPMENT ON THE DASH WENT HAYWIRE FOR A MOMENT. THE MESSAGE CENTER THEN SHOWED THE MESSAGE "START STOP SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE/ PLEASE RETURN TO PARK, THEN CHOOSE DESIRED GEAR." I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON MY FLASHERS, BUT DESPITE SHIFTING TO PARK AND TO DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE ENGINE DID NOT SEEM TO BE RUNNING. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON WITH THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE TURNED OVER. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT THE NEXT TWO STOP LIGHTS. I DROVE ABOUT THREE MILES PAST THE THIRD STOPLIGHT, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I TURNED ON MY...

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND WILL NOT RESTART. FIVE + INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED THIS YEAR ALONE, FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JAN 25, 2017 - THE MOST RECENT OCCURRED TODAY AUG 24, 2017. AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER NEW/RELATED FAULTY ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED TO INCLUDE THE TRANSMISSION AND SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING. EVEN AFTER THE SO-CALLED REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN. ALL INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, TURNING, STOPPED ON CITY STREETS, AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RE-START ENGINE AFTER RUNNING A SHORT (LESS THAT 5 MINUTE) ERRAND. INCIDENTS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE ENDANGERING LIFE AND SAFETY. PREMIER JEEP DEALERSHIP IN PLACENTIA, CA HAS BEEN LESS THAN COOPERATIVE AND RUDE IN DEALING WITH A FEMALE OWNER. LOSS OF USE OF VEHICLE HAS RESULTED IN ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR OTHER VEHICLE RENTAL/INSURANCE AND LOST WAGES FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO GET TO OR HAVING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE PROPERLY WITH LOW VISIBILITY. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (PERCY'S AUTO SALES INC, 40 HOULTON RD, PRESQUE ISLE, ME 04769, (207) 764-4493), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

1) CAR STALLS AT RANDOM WITHOUT WARNING AND NO APPARENT CAUSE. I'VE HAD THE CAR STALL AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER TURNING (ABLE TO RESTART) BUT MOST SIGNIFICANTLY AN INCIDENT OCCURRING 7/9/2017 WHEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH WHILE TOWING A 3500LB TRAILER. THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDODOMETER DROPPED IMMEDIATELY TO ZERO. TOTAL SHUTDOWN. CONCURRENTLY ALL THE ELECTRONICS SHUTDOWN, INCLUDING POWER BRAKES. THANKFULLY I WAS ON A FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART; NO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WERE FUNCTIONING. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. 3) CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO MAINTAIN CAR SPEED ON MODERATE DOWNGRADES...RPM'S WILL SHOOT TO 5000, THEN CAR WILL "TAKE OFF" INCREASING SPEED BY AS MUCH AS 15 MPH MORE THAN CONTROL IS SET FOR. MY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED/REPLICATED BY A JEEP CHRYSLER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED SUDDENLY INCREASED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A TRAFFIC CONE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,200.

BEGINNING ABOUT TWO MONTH AGO, I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DRIVE TRAIN RELATED ISSUES. THE INITIAL ISSUE WAS A FAILED REAR HUB AT AROUND 25,000 MILES WHICH WAS FOUND DURING AN OIL CHANGE. NEXT, THE MAIN DRIVE SHAFT (PROPELLER SHAFT) BEGAN MAKING GRINDING NOISES AS WELL AS A WOBBLE/THUMPING SOUND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE GRINDING SOUND WAS RESOLVED BUT THE WOBBLE/THUMPING CONTINUED. THE FOLLOWUP FOR THAT SOUND FOUND FAILED HALF-SHAFTS (BOTH SIDES), FAILED REAR DIFFERENTIAL, AND FAILED TRANSFER CASE/MODULE. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME WITHOUT ALL REPAIRS BEING COMPLETED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS AND "WARRANTY NOT AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL DAYS OF RENTAL" THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO GIVE FAILED PARKING BRAKE SERVICE CODES AND CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM CODES WHICH SUPPOSEDLY ARE RELATED NOW TO A FAILED ON BOARD CONTROL MODULE. WHEN THE MOST RECENT CODES (TODAY) WERE GIVEN THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO...

PURCHASED 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE BRAND NEW FROM SUSANVILLE AUTO CENTER AND THE CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES AND TOWED IN THE LAST TIME. IT HAS NOW FRIED THE COIL AND THE SPARK PLUGS. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR 2 WHEEL SENSORS, THERMOSTATE REPLACEMENT AT 1500 MILE, COOLANT LEAK AT 2500 AND NOW THE COIL AND PLUG ISSUE WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM AUBURN CA OVER 200 MILES FROM HOME CAR STARTED JERKING DASH FLICKERING AND USE OVER 3/4 TANK OF GAS IN 50 MILE AND WOULD ONLY GO 45MPH AT 25K. I DRIVE FOR A LIVING AN CAN NOT AFFORD TO BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE AS A WOMAN. I'VE CONTACT JEEP CORP AND OF COURSE NO RESPONSE. DEALER WONT DO ANYTHING EITHER. NOW TO TRY CA LEMON LAW AND ATTORNEY GENERAL.

LIGHT-EMMITING-DIODE LAMP WHICH INDICATES WHEN THE PARKING-BREAK IS ENGAGED IS NOT VISIBLE IN DAYLIGHT [I.E. PEAK BRIGHT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE]. AND, THE LED COLOR IS NON-OPTIMAL FOR HUMAN OBSERVATION. THE LED WHICH IS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE PARKING-BREAK IS SET IS NOT VISIBLE IN DAY LIGHT. PLEASE CONSIDER FIXING OR REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM ASAP. I ROUTINELY NEED TO COVER THE AREA WITH MY HAND AND SQUINT IN ORDER TO SEE IF THE LED IS LIGHTED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD EASILY BE FIXED. PERHAPS SOMEONE DURING ASSEMBLY USED THE WRONG RESISTOR??? I HOPE THAT CHRYSLER JEEP USED PWM TO CONTROL THE LED BRIGHTNESS, SO THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE FIXED WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE.
