Two problems related to turn signal have been reported for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee based on all problems reported for the 2014 Cherokee.
Several times while I was driving the digital dash display went blank, red "battery" indicator came on, "no bus" fault message appeared, the headlights went off, the turn signal did not work, radio did not work, door locks would not work (lock/unlock). The safety issue is to lose function of headlights and turn signal while driving. Also if a crash were to occur, I may not be able to exit my vehicle in an emergency, due to not being able to unlock my doors. Between August 27, 2015 and September 14, 2015 this occurred four (4) separate times. The vehicle was turned in for service each time this occurred. The problem is intermittent, during driving it can come and go. Service department at authorized Jeep dealer stated that they do not have any instrumentation to troubleshoot can bus and they can not duplicate the issue. I would pull over into a safe area and take photos of the dash showing the faults. Service department can only reset faults as displayed on a tablet when plugged into the vehicle. Again dealer has no tools to look up bus problems, electrical contact issue, etc.
The transmission continues to accelerate while the brakes are being applied. These problems are the worst between going from 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st gears. The Jeep accelerates while slowing down when ample pressure is applied to the breaks. Had to swerve off the road onto the shoulder to avoid an accident due to the brakes not acting timely and the vehicle still accelerating due to the transmission. The brand new vehicle has been taken to Chrysler two times for this problem and they can¿t ¿duplicate� the problem. Was informed ¿the transmission is a learning transmission and will adjust to the driver and to wait until first oil change at 3000 miles to see if the problem persist". The problem is still very present and even worsening. Now, with only 1800 miles on vehicle the turn signals are not working properly. The right turn signal sticks, stays on or randomly turns on. While the left turn signal is not working at all. While driving my brand new vehicle (not even two months old) having to use hand signals to communicate when turning left. Furthermore constantly turn right blinker off. Less then two months old the vehicle will now go in for it's third repair. This vehicle is very unsafe!!.
