Vehicle would shut completely off when stopped at a red light. Shifter would not move. I was put a risk on a busy street, stuck at a red light and could not move to a safer location. The second time there were three children in the car when the car shuts off at a red light. The problem has been confirmed by dealer and has been inspected. Check engine light was on, however nothing was showed for about the shifter. Dealer mentioned prndl and harness. I see that there were previous recalls with the Jeep Cherokee but the car is still showing symptoms of them. It’s is not safe for me to drive and I have been without a car for almost 3 months.
After starting vehicle and putting it in gear the service shifter light comes on and all the lights on right side of shifter. These lights are for telling you what gear you are in,prnd. It is on after put into gear at all times. It does nt matter that the car is stationary or moving. I have read many complaints about this issue with Jeeps online.
When shifting into park all the indicator lights for all gears (prnd) light up while in drive. The vehicle is not in sport mode.
Transmission electronic shift lever. The shifter does not always light up. The dealership/Chrysler says the prndm and esm module need to be replaced. The remedy the shifter sometimes not lighting up when shifting into d, r or p. The car can be in drive shift to reverse and the light disappears. Next time a mile down the road shift from park to drive, it lights up. Also, the electronic notice has twice said after being in park and not wanting to go in gear that the shifter needs to be serviced. The module is covered but the prndm is not??? doesn't make since that out of pocket to us is $400 just for the prndm. Complained to Chrysler. They were going to pay half and since we kept escalating the case with Chrysler they will pay nothing.
Today's not the first time I've had problems with my 2014 Jeep Cherokee, but I will say I'ts been the worst! drove my car during the day then all of a sudden during high traffic hours it decides to jerking and shake while pulling to a red light so I pull into my local wal-mart to see if it was something with my battery because the light came on but the guy said everything was fine so I tried driving more and the car jerked so hard I thought someone hit my car but no one had . While car was in high speeds it started decelerating while on busy roads nearly causing multiple accidents. While driving it loses power giving me a message saying service transmission, battery light and engine light comes on, and while in motion the prnd the d would blink constantly.
