general problems of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee - part 1

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee latitude. The contact received notification from Jeep stating the vehicle was under Jeep number u90 emission catalyst efficiency recall. The contact stated while driving, the vehicle decelerated and did not accelerate above 35 mph. The traction light, check engine and, electronic stability control lights was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the parts to do the repair were not available. The contact stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 73,800.

I was driving and was trying to accelerate was going about 42 and my car dropped the gear and my car immediately slowed down to about 38mph and the car behind me almost slammed into the rear of the car. This has happened on multiple occasions. I have contacted my dealership on many occasions and they tell me nothing is wrong and I bring it to other mechanics and they tell me they have issues all the time with this make and model of this vehicle. I drive with a small child in the car and I feel completely unsafe. I am so furious with my Jeep dealership located on route 88 in brick new jersey. No one wants to take accountability. My second issue is with the lug screws in the tires they keep becoming �swollen� after replacing them constantly I was told yet again they need to be replaced and they are not cheap to keep replacing. And last my air bags censor has been replaced at least twice the driver airbag censor keeps popping up on my dashboard.

While traveling at speeds of 45mph in the city the gear shifted into neutral and the vehicle shut off and informed me to put the car into "p" after doing so I tried to start the vehicle but it was inoperable and the message "service the shifter" appeared on the dash with all lights on the shifter illuminated.

While driving my 2014 Jeep Cherokee a warning showed up where the miles would be saying service shifter. Then all the lights came on on the gear shift the p n r and d light were all on I had to pull over park cut the car off and then once I turned it back on it went back to normal.

I am getting random software transmission issues. Sometimes the car power fades when driving on major roads to a stop so I have to restart the car. I now avoid driving on freeways because of this. Sometimes when driving on main roads I get a message to say that I have to put the car in "park" to change gear when I was just driving in d and did not want to change anyway as it was in automatic not manual. Which I do not use. After the message the car loses power and I have to stop to put the car in "park" to restart the car to continue on my journey, sometimes I have no issues. I have reported issues previously about the car losing power which were claimed to have been fixed after a recall for software updates. This car is currently unstable, unpredictable, unreliable and dangerous. I am very concerned about my safety and reluctant to drive the car anywhere. I feel uneasy as I do not know what is going to happen next. I have notified the dealer previously and today but I need this issue escalated. I have an alternative use of a car (my wife's) which I drive to avoid the above safety concerns and problems.

On several occasions numbering an excessive amounts my 2014 Jeep Cherokee latitude 9-speed transmission has exhibited the hard shifting sluggish shifting and jerking since I've owned the vehicle . Beginning in August of 2020 I noticed on multiple occasions that when I went to pull out from a complete stop my vehicle would not go and would drop into neutral suddenly and I would have to return the vehicle to park and back to drive to get it to move and has caused me to almost be in a vehicular accident on two multiple occasions on the same day and I am concerned for my safety in this vehicle. I have researched and seen that there are numerous recalls for this model and make but mine Jeep is not included but it exhibits the same problems and it has the same make and model that numerous recalls were issued for.

While driving my Jeep revs into high gear, then all of the symbols on my dash light up and then my Jeep jolts and then shuts off. I have to put it into park and wait about 30 seconds and then try to turn it back on, sometimes it takes 2-3 times to turn back on.

Car wont start, appears to be in park but its not. It rolls and wont engage the parking break. All lights and electrical comes on but wont start. Rolls when pushing on the breaks. Wont stop.

Driving in the freeway and have an accident due to the malfunctioning front collision warning and the not working sensors.

The shifter is not intuitive and provides poor tactile and visual feedback to the driver, increasing the potential for unintended gear selection. Also while at a stop light the vehicle requested me to park, and when returned to drive the vehicle did not drive, I had to turn the car off and back on.

Vechical lost speed, stalled, no power. Will not excell. Engine light and etc light on. On a city street in motion. It looses steering and will stall also. I replaced the battery.

On startup of my vehicle, the wipers start on full speed without any control. The turn signal indicators do not function and my vehicle has rough shifting. Lastly, the running lights on the vehicle do not function when this error is occurring. The error that appears is "shift to p and then desired gear". So I literally have to stop my vehicle (even if I am on the highway) shift to p and then back to d. This is extremely dangerous while on the road. This has happened multiple times and the only way to stop is by stopping the vehicle and disconnecting the battery to reset the software. I have taken it to the dealership and they have flashed the software multiple times, however the same issue keeps occurring. Now I am experiencing a "service shifter" error. This error flashes on the instrument cluster when driving and all of the shifter lights illuminate red. This error happens sporadically and should be addressed as not being able to use turn signal indicators is also extremely hazardous and dangerous while on the road.

Car shuts off while driving , engine stalls , car downshifts when excellerating on highway . Dealer has replaced engine and transmission, car still shifts rough and has started stalling again.

Vehicle does not go while on incline at a stop, revs to 3k rpm then will spin out tires. Delayed start at stop lights and speed ups. Had recall done software upgrade twice, drives fine for a couple weeks then back to it. Had numerous close calls while pulling out into traffic have to let off gas and accel again and pray it goes. . .

Service shifter light came on and gear shift lights are all red,p,r,n,d.

When I am driving my car will shift itself into neutral and stall out and then it will shut off when I am traveling 70 mph down the highway. Then when I have to turn it back on I have to turn the key then shift my car into neutral and let it coast a little so that way it will turn over. It has done this 6 times now and the last time this happened it broke down and it would not start back up. The last three time this happened I was on the highway, traveling about 70 mph. When it happened about the third time a different light came on saying my throttle peddle was going bad and that the ignition was going bad as well. I took it to go get the codes read but every where I took they were saying they could not help me and that we would have to pay out of pocket for it. Meanwhile my fiance and I looked up recalls on the Jeep Cherokees and there is recalls on the transmissions and other things as well. And all the recalls are for the 6 cylinder Jeeps but my Jeep is having all the same problems that the 6 cylinder Jeeps are having. But no one will help fix it. I have talked to Chrysler corporation 2 times an each time we talk to them they say it is not their problem and that it is our problem. My car is unsafe to drive and it do not trust to even have my family in it.

My car starts to stall, slow down then jerks and doesn't move afterwards. Then a message comes up saying �shift to p, then desired gear� and I have to shut the car off about 4 times before being able to drive it again. This is while I was driving heading to work, while at a green light.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, when all the gear shiftier indicators and service shiftier warning message on dashboard were illuminated. The contact stated she was able to park on the side of the road and after turning off and on the ignition, the vehicle did not presents the failure. The contact stated her vehicle was service on August NHTSA campaign number: 19v447000 (power train). The contact called local dealer reedman toll Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram of langhorne located at 140 old york rd, jenkintown, PA 19046, (215) 690-3770, where it was diagnosed needing the shiftier to be replaced. The vehicle has not been as of yet. The manufacturer has not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 62,700. Dp.

I started my car early in the morning to go to work and after a couple of feet of driving the vehicle, the engine turned off and battery light came on. Battery is sufficiently charged. Turned the car back on, drove a couple more blocks and it did it again, then again while trying to get on the freeway.

Veh in motion, service shifter, this started after they fixed the recall from the reprogram transmission control.

Starting at the beginning of this month my car will randomly shut off and state to �shift gear into park� the gear shift lights on all letters light up red and the car takes about 20 minutes to start back up. Today it happened three times in a row while in the car with my daughter and it has me petrified. We went up the hill by our home and it happens and the car started going backwards.

Almost died last week!! we purchased the Jeep Cherokee trailhawk new in 2014 with the full intent of towing it 4 wheels down behind our motor home. The owners manual for towing is very clear and we have been following the instructions as provided and as instructed by the Jeep dealership. Last Thursday night (may 30th 2019) on hwy 24 in kentucky we hit a rough patch of road and the Jeep went into a death wobble that brought the entire RV coach from 65 mph to a dead stop in the middle of the highway in the dark of night in heavy traffic!!! by god's grace only are we not dead!! no driver expects an RV to be parked on the highway (emergency flashers or not). We have been scared before with this at a lower speed of 30 to 40 mph, but never at full highway speed! we are terrified to tow this vehicle even thought the vehicle was clearly sold as tow-able. After researching on the internet about this, I find out it is a known issue with Jeep 2014 / 2015 models and that a electrical wiring harness is now required to tow the vehicle safely - however - Jeep wants to charge you for this part and install!!! this is pure evil on Jeeps part. They know of the issue and are pushing the repair off on the owner, when the vehicle was clearly advertised and sold as tow-able with no need for any adaptations. It is a miracle that no one has been killed due to their negligence in getting these vehicles repaired. I have not been notified by Jeep that my life is in danger. They have made no effort in rectifying this deadly situation or even letting me know about a potential solution. I have tried to fix the wobble independently by changing tires, balancing etc, only to learn through google that the Jeep is faulty in and of itself, that the steering is not powered correctly to keep the Jeep from going into a death wobble. This should be a recall and not the burden of the owner.

Around 4:30 pm, after just a few seconds of leaving my driveway, a message came on that stated I needed to put the vehicle in park before I could shift gears and then my battery light and engine light came on. I pulled over, put vehicle into park & then shut it off. Restarted it, but struggled to start. . Attempted to restart a third time but was dead. Turned the key to run to see what lights stayed on the dashboard the battery was still on while the engine light disappeared. After waiting about a half hour, my father in law was able to give me a jump. Car started and was able to drive get the battery replaced. However I read last night similar complaints, with the battery not being the issue so my husband will be getting the previous battery we had, tested this weekend.

Multiple warning lights come on. Want accelerate, hard gear shift, low voltage light. Turns car off while driving.

The car has jerked since I bought it two years ago and for about 6 months now it has been presenting a transmission issue. The car starts to flash with �service transmission � and the check engine light comes on - after that the car starts to get stiff and as soon as I come to a complete stop the car turns off the car turned off this happend twice and I took it into the local Jeep dealership where they told me on me at stop lights both times - I was able to turn the car back on after about 5 mins and continue driving that it was not a transmission issue and fixed the recalls and I was on my way - then the car started to do this again it stopped on my three times in one week alone saying service transmission.

Car stalled several times while moving when engine is cold this happened several times while turning and again when not turning, on city streets. 4 headlights blew within 7 days while both moving and while stationary. Hard shift between 2nd and 3rd and 3rd and 4th gears while moving on highway and city streets.

Brought vehicle in to the dealership for repairs on several ocassions with complaints of vehicle jumping into gear. Recently had to replace the battery because vehicle wouldn't stay running and could not put into gear. Vehicle is currently at the dealership because it was leaking oil. Have been told that the oil cooler needs to be replaced. Have also been told that the drive shaft is noisy and should be replaced and that the air temperature ambient sensor needs to be replaced. I gave the go ahead to replace the oil cooler and air temperature ambient sensor. Told them to hold off on replacing the drive shaft as the repair alone for the oil cooler and sensor was going to be approximately $1,300. I then received a call back and was told that they changed the oil cooler and upon trying to start the vehicle it didn't want to start. They told me multiple codes were coming up and that my instrument cluster needed to be replaced at an additional cost of over $1,000. Estimate for all repairs to be $2,500 plus. Was also told that the instrument cluster is a special order and once ordered they would have to hold my vehicle for two weeks until it came in and could be installed. It is costing me $35. 00 a day for a rental vehicle through them. I estimate total cost for repairs and rental to be about $3,000. This cost does not include the replacing the drive shaft which they tell me is noisy.

When I'm driving my car will just stall without warning until the car becomes to a complete stop. This has happened to me at least 4 times beginning 10-27-18 and the last time was 11-08-18 and I had it towed to the dealerships designated shop and was told that they couldn't find anything wrong with it that could be fixed. They also told me they had other customers complaining about their Jeep-cherokee stalling on the freeways and in the middle of traffic. My vehicle stall on me when I was driving on the streets and I would only get a few feet from home and one of those times the battery light would come on and another time the light came on for driving on on hill or something in that effect.

Vehicle died on main road just over 30000 miles said it was the uconnect . Turns out after a month and a half of them having it they had to replace the transmission. Ruff shifts over accelerates. Suspension right after that. Died on the highway going 55!!! semi truck almost killed my family. Took dealership over a week to even look at it said it was a sensor. Died again 4wheel drive light came on. Said it was a module. Now they say its the rear differential and its on back order and can take up to 2 weeks. This vehicle is not safe. Transmission constantly goes out. Afraid my family will get hurt.

We experienced a wobble very severe while towing behind our RV. It was very unsafe but we were able to get to the side of the road I hate to think what could have happened to us or someone else not to mention the car, RV or towing equipment. We are told we need a jumper wiring harness that cost $400. 00. Is this covered?.

Transmission shifting problem again the outer module was replaced because transmission locked up through the dealership I purchased it from worked well now it's starting to do it all over again ! note dealership has all documentation also there was former complaints file with chysler on this situation before you can reach me at9517048319 anthony kealoha!.

The back windshield wiper, no longer works. It basically first just fell down over the tail light and when turned on, it would only cover part of the window. Later it would drop further down. There are times when you could manually move it. But it no longer works when you try to turn it on normally. Also the intermittent wiper settings for the front windshield , have not worked at all.

Bought this car 12/1/16 and purchased best optioned warranty. Car is stalling and locking up steering. 5x in last 3 days. Mil light, etc light coming on. After turning engine off and on, car will drive fine other than transmission is jerky. Seems like there is a dead spot when trying to accelerate. I put premium gas in this car. There is something definitely wrong with the computer language between fuel intake and transmission shifting gears. Bringing it to naples Dodge tmrw for service and hopefully will be under warranty.

Car cuts off going about 40mph. Steering locked up. While I was on highway. Problem occurred multiple times. Unsafe vehicle purchased top warranty and I'm still being charged for repair. Purchased the car used has 40,000 miles. And I have had the car for 3 months yet! car stared back up and wouldn't let me go over 20mph.

While driving down the highway going 65 miles an hour the transmission made a horrible sound and just went bezerk. All I could do is put on my hazards and coast to the side. It would not go into any gear not even park. I was almost hit by several vehicles trying just to get over. He had it towed to the dealership where we were told it was fixed on our way home it did the same thing again. I am literally terrified to drive this vehicle again.
