2017 JEEP CHEROKEE Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55-70 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VEHICLE JERKED AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL WHILE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REYNOLDS FORD (1900 AVENUE OF THE CITIES, EAST MOLINE, IL 61244, (309) 792-9530) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO KEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3700 16TH STREET DIRECTION, MOLINE, IL 61265 (309) 524-52747). BOTH DEALERS PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TESTS BUT, WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. INVALID VIN.

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTER APPEARS ON DASH AND SHIFTER POSITION LIGHTS ALL LIGHT RANDOMLY AND HAS BEEN BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THEY TURN OFF ONCE I STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE READ MODELS PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT 2017 WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. ALSO I'VE HAD TO CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS AT ABOUT EVERY 50,000 MILES. I REPLACED THEM ONCE ALREADY AND ONCE AGAIN I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND AT TIMES THE CAR IS SHAKING FROM THE MISFIRING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AT A TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND THE CAR IS SHAKING THE POWER AND ACCELERATION ARE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED WHEN THE SPARK PLUGS ARE ACTIVELY MISFIRING. THIS ONLY OCCURS WITH ACCELERATING AND PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL AND HAPPENS CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. I'VE NEVER...

MY SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON FOR ALL OF THE SPACES ON MY SHIFTER. TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT SEEN ANY CODES TO MY SPECIFIC CAR. ALSO, MY SPARK PLUG BURNT OUT AT 45,000 MILES AND I WAS TOLD THAT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN THAT WAY.

EVERY 3000 MILE I DO MY VEHICLE MAINTENANCE WHICH REQUIRES ME TO DO MY (OIL CHANGE) JULY , 2020 ON AUGUST 2 2020 I HEARD SOMETHING WHILE DRIVING ON A UPHILL I PULL OVER I CHECK EVERYTHING SEEM OK WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECK MY OIL STICK AND REALIZE I WAS IN NEED OF ABOUT A QUART OF OIL I WENT TO THE PLACE I HAD OIL CHANGE DONE AND ADDED A HALF QUART OF OIL (MANUFACTURED RECOMMENDED) ON AUGUST 15 ,2020 I WAS DRIVING AN HEARD A BANG LIKE I HIT OR RAN OVER SOMETHING ALL OF SUDDEN MY VEHICLE DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON A MY CAR SHUT OFF A PASSING VEHICLE INFORM ME ALL MY OIL WAS COMING OUT , I HAD THE VEHICLE TOW HOME THE TOW DRIVER INFORM ME THE OIL PAN WAS CRACK I INSPECTED AND REMOVE THE OIL PAN AND REALIZED THE...

I KEEP HAVING TO DO OIL CHANGES WITHIN A 1 1/2 MONTHS WITHOUT EVEN GOING 3,000 MILES. ALSO MY CAR SHUTS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND THE POWER GOES OUT ON THE RADIO AND SPEEDOMETER. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR IN AND THEY RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AND ALWAYS TELL ME THAT EVERYTHING WITH THE CAR IS FINE. THIS SHUT OFF SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. ALL THE POWER SEEMS TO GO OUT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. THE LIGHTS ON THE RADIO AND SPEEDOMETER HAVE GONE BLACK WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I'M HAVING TO GET MORE FREQUENT OIL CHANGES.

THIS JEEP CHEROKEES OIL IS EVAPORATING CAUSING MY CAR TO CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGH WAY. I CHECK MY OIL EVERY OTHER DAY. MY OIL EVAPORATES WHILE DRIVING I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS 5 TIMES. THIS VEHICLE ALSO CUTS OFF AND SAY SHIFTER AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN THE VEHICLE OFF LET SIT FOR 5 MINUTES THEN RESTART. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO GET A TUNE UP AT 50000 MILES DUE TO MANUFACTURAL DEFECT ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC AN ALERT SHOWED THEM WHAT WAS WRONG. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN STRUCK BY OTHER VEHICLES WHILE I AM TRYING TO GET OVER LANES TO PULL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SO MUCH SO I WILL NOT DRIVE WITH MY GROWN CHILDREN AND DEFINITLY NOT MY GRANDCHILDREN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS BECAME ILLUMINATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE COASTED TO CURB. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE TO HER DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILTON RUBEN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 3508 WASHINGTON RD, AUGUSTA, GA 30907, (762) 224-5967, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BEZEL NEEDED TO BE REWIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,667.*DT CONSUMER STATED THERE IS A LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.*JB

WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON A CITY STREET MY VEHICLE DINGED, TURNED OFF AND A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH 'SHIFT TO PARK OR NEUTRAL, PRESS BRAKE, SELECT GEAR'. I COULD NOT USE MY STEERING WHEEL OR BREAKS DURING THIS TIME. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND FULL TOOK MY KEY OUT. THEN ATTEMPTED TO START IT. I ONLY HEARD A SLIGHT SOUND BUT NO TURN OVER. I REPEATED THIS STEP AND THIS TIME, AFTER MOMENTARILY SPUTTERING, I WAS ABLE TO GIVE THE CAR GAS AND IT STAYED ON. I COULD SMELL OIL AT THIS POINT. IT SEEMS THIS IS RELATED TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, WHICH TRIGGERS THE CAR TO SHUT OFF TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. EXCEPT THE OIL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE IS FINE AND THERE ARE NO PRIOR WARNINGS BEFORE THIS HAPPENS.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO A LIGHT ON THE SCREEN APPEARED AND SAID "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER TURNED ON, THE D, R AND SO ON. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT INORDER TO GET THE WARNING LABEL OFF THE SCREEN AND GET THE LIGHTS OFF. NOW TODAY, MY CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO START BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THE RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS TURN ON SO LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT'S NOT THE BATTERY.

MY JEEP HAS ABOUT 26,000 MILES ON IT, SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT, IT HAS BEEN TOWED 6 TIMES FOR ENGINE FAILURE. MY ENGINE IS BURNING THE OIL, WITH OUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE DEALER INSISTS THIS IS NORMAL, BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO ABSORB OR BURN OIL. *TR

SHIFTER ERROR THEN TURNS OFF RANDOMLY. ESPECIALLY ON TURNS

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP HAS JUST SHUT OFF ON ME ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASION LEAVING ME TO JUST COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEN WHEN I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND TRY TO RESTART THE CAR IT JUST KEPT TURNING OVER AND TOOK A WHILE TO START BACK UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE ACCELERATING. ADDITIONALLY, THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. *BF*JB

JEEP STALLS EVERY A COUPLE OF WEEKS. DETERMINED THAT THE JEEP BURNS OIL AND WITH NO INDICATION THE CAR WILL JUST STALL WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. WHEN IT STALLS I DETERMINED THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS EXTREMELY LOW. THIS HAPPENS WITH LESS THAN 4000 MILES. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS. VERY SCARING WHEN IT JUST STALLS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. NO WAY SHOULD A VEHICLE BURN THAT MUCH OIL WITH ONLY DRIVING 5000 MILES OR LESS. *TR

FOR OVER A MONTH NOW I'VE RECEIVED"SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE. CAR SHAKES BADLY AND LOSES POWER AS IF ITS GOING TO SHUT OFF. THREE DIFFERENT TIMES IT DID SHUT OFF AND STRUGGLED TO RE-CRANK! SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE GOES AWAY AFTER TURNING THE JEEP OFF & BACK ON. VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (OR ANYWHERE)!!! PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND IS UP TO DATE ON OIL CHANGES, ETC. JEEP ALSO BURNS MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN (5 PLUS INFANT). WE WERE TRAVELING ~20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN. THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING AS WE WERE TRAVELING DOWNHILL, AND WAS IN THE DRIVE GEAR. WE WERE UNABLE TO STOP AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO PULL OFF IMMEDIATELY. THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING FIRST, THEN THE BRAKE STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. I HAD TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND JAM MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE SITUATION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ONCE THE CAR STOPPED, WE TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER POWER CYCLING THE CAR, IT RETURNED TO OPERATING AS EXPECTED. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES NOW STARTING IN JAN 21, 2020. STOPPED AT STOP SIGN AND SHUT OFF. TRIED TO RESTART AND WOULD NOT. WAITED ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND IT STARTED. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR ANOTHER STOP SIGN IT SHUT OFF BUT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR ANOTHER STOP SIGN I TURNED RIGHT WITH OUT STOPPING AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON. BATTERY WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. CAR WOULD NOT START FOR 45 MINUTES AND THEN IT FINALLY STARTED.CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEIR ANSWER WAS 'IF WE CAN'T DUPLICATE IT THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN BRING IT IN'. WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TOO MEAN? IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 5-13-20, 5-15-20 AND 5-31-20. ALL THESE TIMES IT WAS WHEN WE ARE DRIVING ALONG AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN. ENGINE JUST...

THE VEHICLE CONSUMES ALL OF THE OIL (BONE DRY) BEFORE THE VEHICLE REACHES 3000 MILES AND BEFORE THE NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF A LEAK. THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING (NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNING). THIS TIME IT HAPPENED ON 05/26/2020 ON A HIGHWAY WITH A 60MPH SPEED LIMIT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS PROBLEM IS FOUND ALL THROUGH OUT INTERNET FORUMS FOR THE 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE AND JEEP HAS FAILED TO PUT OUT A RECALL. THE ISSUE IS KNOWN AND THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY PUTTING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE CALLING IT AN, "OVER CONSUMPTION OF OIL." *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS LOW OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, WE HAVE THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED MILEAGE BETWEEN CHANGES. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MAIN ROADS DURING TIMES OF HIGH TRAFFIC AND HAS PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES NOW. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M TIRED OF DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON HIGHWAY. HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH ( APRIL). IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS. I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON STREET OR HIGHWAY. 5 TIMES SINCE 9/19. DEALER REPLACED ENGINE AND PROBLEM CONTINUES

INTERMITTENTLY, UPON STARTING THE JEEP WILL DISPLAY AND "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING ON MY DASH WITH ALL GEARS INDICATORS (PRNDL) ILLUMINATED IN RED. I AM ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER AND CAN EVEN OPERATE THE VEHICLE BUT, IT FEELS UNSAFE. I HAVE HAD MIXED SUCCESS WITH TURNING THE JEEP OFF AND RESTARTING BUT, MOST OF THE TIME, IT SUCCEEDS IN ELIMINATING THE WARNING AND THE RED LIGHTS. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE POSTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AS AN ISSUE FOR A NUMBER OF JEEP MODELS. GUIDANCE OR, A RECALL MAY BE IN ORDER. I WOULD APPRECIATE EITHER.

THIS CAR BURNS OIL AT AN EXTREME RATE, I'VE HAD IT CHECKED OUT FOR CONSUMPTION TESTS AFTER EVERY 1,000 MILES- IT IS ALWAYS LOW ON OIL. WITH NO ANSWERS FROM JEEP WHO IS PERFORMING THESE TASKS. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN SINCE ABOUT 25,000 MILES- (IM SITTING AT 51,000 NOW) SHAKING BETWEEN GEARS, THE RPM GAUGE TAC JUMPS AROUND, THE CAR SEEMS TO STRUGGLE RUNNING. EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TAKEN IN - I'M TOLD THE CAR IS RUNNING CORRECTLY EVEN WITH HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AS WELL AS ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND THAT THIS IS JEEPS STANDARD. I HAVE YET TO HAVE ANYTHING RESOLVED SINCE I'VE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE ZERO PROBLEMS OR THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUES I'VE HAD. A LESS THAN 3 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT BE BURNING MORE THAN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THIS IS A CAR THAT HAS A STANDARD OF...

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE AND SHUT ITSELF DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING 3 DIFFERENT PERIODS TIME NEAR THE OIL CHANGE INTERVAL, OCCURRING 3+ OR MORE TIMES DURING EACH PERIOD. AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WITH THE 3RD OCCURRENCE, THEY CHECKED THE OIL PRIOR TO CHANGING IT NOTING THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE PAN. AFTER PERFORMING A FUEL CONSUMPTION TEST, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ENGINE BETWEEN 6,000 AND 7,000 MILES (OIL CHANGE TIME) LOST OVER 1.25 QUARTS OF OIL. BETWEEN 0 AND 6,000 MILES, MINIMAL TO NO OIL WAS LOST, BUT BETWEEN 6,000-7,000 THE OIL WOULD DROP SIGNIFICANTLY WITH NO OBVIOUS REASON WHY. THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED THEY HAVE HAD OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE. IF IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THEN JEEP WOULD LIKELY REPLACE THE ENGINE, BUT SINCE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY (EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES), I WOULD...

DRIVING 2017 JEEP WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY.. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND JEEP STALLED ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. WENT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR, WAS TOLD IT NEEDED AND OIL CHANGE?!! UNACCEPTABLE!! IF ISSUE ISN'T CORRECTED, LEGAL ACTION WILL BE PURSUED.

THE ISSUE STARTED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING DOING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY I HAD ZERO ACCELERATION. IT WAS AS THOUGH I WAS IN NEUTRAL . I STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. STILL NO RESPONSE . I ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACK IN NEUTRAL THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE . IT ENGAGED INTO DRIVE BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME . I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO JEEP WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" . ONLY IT'S NOT FIXED . THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DISENGAGE WHEN SLOWING DOWN .

JEEP THROWING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE AND LIGHTING UP THE ENTIRE SHIFTER. LOCKING BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL AND WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE CAR OFF IT ONLY CONTINUOUSLY TRIES TO TURN OVER INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF. THIS STARTED AS SOON AS I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ON A STRAIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD.*DT CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER WIRING HARNESS IN THE SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED AND COULD NOT GUARANTEE A PERMANENT FIX. VEHICLE WAS TRADED IN AND CONSUMER NO LONGER HAS THE VEHICLE.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED 6 TIMES WITHIN TEN DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEBANON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (518 W MAIN ST, LEBANON, OH 45038) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR 2000 MILES AND TO THEN HAVE THE VEHICLE TESTED FOR OIL CONSUMPTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT DEPENDING ON THE RESULT, THE MANUFACTURER MAY CHOOSE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE FREE OF CHARGE. THE OIL WAS TOPPED OF HOWEVER, NO ADDITIONAL MECHANICAL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,732.

MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 6 TIMES IN A WEEK AND A HALF. ITS ALWAYS WITHIN A FEW BLOCKS OF START UP. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS, THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT BACK UP. ALL 6 TIMES IT HAS BEEN WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 25 MILES AND HOUR AND HAS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE WITH AN ISSUE WITH THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT COMING ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WERE LIGHTING UP AND CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN. AT THAT TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND THEY REPLACED IT. NOW WE ARE NOT GETTING A WARNING LIGHT AT ALL BEFORE THE CAR DIES. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE MY...

AT 15,000 MILES MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT IF THE LIGHT WASN'T ACTIVELY ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE GEAR SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART VEHICLE. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IT SEEMED AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GRIFFIN MOTORS COMPANY 11031 PERRY HWY, MEADVILLE, PA 16335 (814) 336-2161, WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED NOR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING WITH 30% OIL LIFE REMAINING WITH NO WARNING. YOU LOOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND CONTROL.

WHILE MAKING A LEFT HANG TURN ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC MY JEEP STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE BATTERY LIGHT ON THE DASH LIGHT UP AND THE DASH PROMPTED ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AFTER BEING NARROWLY MISSED BY MULTIPLE CARS I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE JEEP AND DRIVE OFF OF THE ROAD.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. SINCE ABOUT 30K I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING THAT IT IS RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING, REGARDLESS OF SPEED. NO ENGINE POWER, AND NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A FAIL SAFE DUE TO LOW OIL. I HAVE FOLLOWED THE FCA GUIDELINES AND DEALERS FOR OIL CHANGES AND CANT REALLY MAKE BETWEEN CHANGES. I HAVE DONE MULTIPLE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS BETWEEN TWO DEALERS BC I AM TOLD IT DOESNT BURN ENOUGH FOR FCA STANDARDS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE CALLED AFTER IT DIED OUT TO ASK FOR A TOW IN AND HAVE BEEN DENIED AND TOLD IT JUST MEANS ITS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I HAVE TO HAVE AN IGNITION COIL REPLACED ON TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS, REPROGRAMMING OF THE SHIFTER PCM, AND REPLACED THE PCM. IT WASNT TILL MY LATEST INCIDENT THAT I RECORDED IT AND POSTED THE VIDEO TO...

VEHICLE CAN STOP ABRUPTLY DUE TO LOW OIL AS THIS ENGINE IMPROPERLY BLOWS OIL OUT THE EXHAUST AT A VERY HIGH RATE. OUR VEHICLE BLOWS OUT 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE DEALER HAS BEEN MONITERING THIS PROBLEM SINCE OCTOBER 2019 WHEN I FOUND THE OIL LEVEL WAS DOWN 2 QUARTS. THE DEALER WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OR ELEVATE THE PROBLEM TO THE MANUFACTURER. WE ARE LEFT WITH A LEMON. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM THE DEALER IT HAD 11 MILES AT PURCHASE.THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES A VALVE REPAIR OR A NEW ENGINE.

ON JANUARY 18 2020 I WAS DRIVING AND AFTER ONLY A MILE FROM HOME, COMING TO AN INTERSECTION YIELDING TO GO LEFT, MY CAR COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I TRIED TO RE-START AND TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUETS GET IT TO RESTART. I WAS DRIVING THE MILE HOME WHEN THEN I GOT A 'OIL PRESSURE LOW LIGHT'. I DID AN OIL CHANGE THAT AFTERNOON TO FIND MY CAR ONLY HAD 2 QUARTS OF OIL REMAINING. MY CAR IS BURNING OIL. I DO REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THERE ARE NO LEAKS. I HAD NO WARNING FROM MY CAR THAT MY OIL WAS LOW. ALTHOUGH THE FEATURE TO TURN OFF MY CAR WORKED PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OIL IS LOW, MY CAR IS BURNING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND NOT GIVING ME A LOW OIL WARNING BEFORE TURNING OFF MY CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE...

A SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE COME UP ON MY OPTOMETER SCREEN 4 TIMES IN 3 DAYS. THE WARNING APPEARS IN RED LETTERS THAT ALSO HIGHLIGHT ALL GEAR LIGHTS RED AND THE SCREEN WAS LOCKED TO SERVICE SHIFTER. THIS TAKES PLACES WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTS BUT I CANNOT SHIFT THE GEARS. I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS OF 2019 MODELS HAVING THIS HAPPEN AND CAR STOPS WHILE IN MOTION. PLEASE REVIEW THIS CASE, SO MANY JEEP CHEROKEE MODELS 2016-2020 HAVE BEEN WIDELY AFFECTED BY THIS SHIFT SYSTEM FAILURE.

SERVICE SHIFTER THE CAR TURN OFF ON MAJOR HIGHWAY

CAR STARTS TO STALL AFTER 1000 MILES DRIVEN IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THIS STARTED AT 30000 MILES. IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT STALKS AT STOP SIGNS. THIS MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS FIRST CAR. IT IS NOT SAFE.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON. WE JUST BOUGHT THIS ON 12/28/2019 WITH 46198 MILES. SIFTER ISSUES. LIGHT CAME ON AS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED.

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT UPSHIFT AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON. VEHICLE HAS 13,000 MILES. SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST TIME NO RESOLUTION AT 6500 MILES. PROBLEMS RELATED TO WIRING HARNESS THIS TIME ACCORDING TO DEALER, APPARENT COMMON PROBLEM BUT NO RECALLS..

MY ENGINE CONSUMES OIL. I CANNOT EVEN REACH 2000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. MY CAR WILL JUST CUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING (AT ANY SPEED INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND TURNS). WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED I CHECKED THE OIL AND THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY OF OIL. IT DIDNT EVEN REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK. I HAVE HAD OVER 6 OIL CHANGES SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 01/2019 (LESS THAN A YEAR). I HAVE HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING COMPLETED AND EVERYTHING "COMES BACK IN RANGE". THE ENGINE HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND NOTHING IS LEAKING OR FAULTY. MY CAR TAKES FULL SYNTHETIC OIL WHICH SHOULD LAST WAY LONGER THAN THAT. I AM AWARE THIS IS AN OVERALL ISSUE WITH 2017 JEEPS OF ALL MODELS. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP DIDNT SEEM LIKE HE KNOW MUCH OF ANYTHING AND TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER HAD...

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN THE VEHICLE DIED. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL. VEHICLE WAS JUMPED AND STARTED. AT THAT TIME THE DASH DISPLAYED "SHIFTER SERVICE NEEDED". SHIFTER WAS REPLACED. THE DAY AFTER SHIFTER WAS REPLACED THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A DING NOISE (SIMILAR TO SEAT BELT DING) WHILE MAKING A TURN. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS THE MATTER WITH IT. TWO DAYS AFTER THAT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN THE VEHICLE MADE A DING NOISE AND STALLED (VEHICLE WAS RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT MOVE). VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. VEHICLE RESTATED EVENTUALLY AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. AFTER THREE DAYS I WAS TOLD THIS IS DUE TO LOW OIL. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO TELL ME HOW LOW MY OIL WAS BUT STATED IT WOULD ONLY NEED TO BE A QUART LOW FOR THIS TO...

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UP TO 7TH GEAR AND THAN DOWN TO6TH GEAR SOME TIMES ENGINE SHUTS OFF THAN RESTART WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BUT ENGINE RED LINES BEFORE YOU GO IN GEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFTER FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON ANOTHER OCCASION AND THE SHIFTER WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000.

I HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN THE MORNING AND HEADING DOWN THE NEIGHBOORHOOD ROAD. ABOUT A HALF A MILE INTO MY DRIVE, THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR BEGAN TO COAST, I HAD LOST ENGINE POWER. I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND IT WAS UNRESPONSIVE. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASH AND IT WAS OUT. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR TO THE CURB. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TURN IT OVER AND START THE ENGINE. MY ENGINE IS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.

I LEFT WORK TODAY AT 4PM MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A BRIDGE AND I NOTICED I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND TWO ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON ME AND I BROKE DOWN. I WAS STUCK ON A HIGH TRAFFICKING AREA ON A BRIDGE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I'VE HAD MY JEEP FOR 2 YEARS AND NEVER ONCE HAD ANY ISSUES AND NEVER ONCE FELT LIKE IT WASN'T A SAFE VEHICLE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY JEEP NOW AND WANT IT CHECKED OUT COMPLETELY BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN TO ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS LOW AND THE ENGINE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THERE IS A SHIFTER ERROR THAT COMES UP ON DASHBOARD AND ALL LIGHTS COME UP ON THE SHIFTER STICK WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE OVER ONE NIGHT WHILE I DRIVING AND I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. SEE LINKS BELOW.
