general problems of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee - part 2

Vehicle loss of motive power while driving on the road. Very scary and dangerous! received message on dash: �shift to p then desired gear�. The vehicle was already in drive. I believe this is due to an ongoing manufacture defect s55.

I have had multiple issues regarding the transmission in this Jeep Cherokee. It fails to move forward after a stop while pressing the accelerator then at about 3. 5 rpm takes off and I have had this issue from the beginning. We have done multiple recalls and still there are hard shifting issues and now the ptu has failed.

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.

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.

I took my vehicle in on February 14, 2020 for a software update to hopefully fix the hesitation I experience when trying to accelerate followed by a slight jolt. The update has made this issue worse, so bad that I have neck pain, scared to pull out with traffic, has caused my wheels to peel out multiple times, and have a hard time accelerating when I come to a complete stop or merging on the freeway. The jolt that happens makes everyone in my vehicle jolt forward and cause the seat belts to lock up. I am to the point I do not feel comfortable having my kids in the car because of how often my car loses power to accelerate or gets locked in a lower gear. This issue happens when driving and trying to speed up, or when your at a complete stop and trying to go at the green light or stop sign.

Service shifter light suddenly turned on when driving on a city street, with all shifter lights on. Pulled over and restarted engine, the light is gone.

As I am driving the service shifter flashes on dashboard , call dealer they never heard of it . Put car in park turn engine off and waited . Turn car on message disappears car runs but it still has a jerk when trying to shift into gear and not picking up speed but rpm show 3 and 4.

Within two minutes of starting the vehicle and driving it on the road, the vehicle was stall mid-traffic and become inoperable. The battery light then comes on with an error on screen with something to the effect of, "car must be in park in order to shift. " turning the key does nothing until 3 minutes of causing a traffic hazard when the engine finally turns over. Also the transmission has rough shifts at slow speeds causing the vehicle to suddenly jerk forward as if the gas was aggressively pushed down. This jerkiness to the transmission and speed has almost caused me to hit parked vehicles when trying to park the vehicle in a parking lot area.

I was driving on the freeway going 70 mph my car started beeping and said service transmission. Restart in park with vehicle speed at zero. Once is gave me that message it was as if my car went into neutral and it wouldn't let me speed up or anything no matter how much I pushed on the gas. I was in the middle lane and my speed kept decreasing and I almost got hit 3 times trying to get over to restart my car. Once I finally got over I had to turn my car off and restart it. I have had this happen more than once and I'm terrified I'm going to be in a horrible accident.

Was driving home last Saturday night. 10-26-19, all of the sudden antilock light warning appeared, parking brake warning, 4x4 system. Traction control, and service transmission warning. I pulled over, shut vehicle off, once restarted it was all off, then I drove about 10 miles up. The road. It came on again all lights and warnings, when your driving between 40-55 mph, it seems to accelerate and then decelerate. As if someone was giving it gas and then letting off of the pedal, is how I can describe it. I started it on today 10-28-19, it's still driving the same way with all warning lights on. Code reader doesn't show anything wrong with it. Vehicle has 61,640 miles on it. 2. 4l, 9 speed transmission.

I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee latitude and today all of the lights were on on my shifter, it also was propelling it self forward while I had the break down it did three times while in the middle of the highway. Yesterday I submitted a different complaint about the power train acting up. Today the power train began to act up again while in the highway . It wasn't shifting and felt as if it was driving in neutral but at a very low speed while the rpm moved up and the speed didn't move at all. This is a serious safety concern especially considering that I am not the only one having issues.

Service transmission light came on while driving and lost power to the engine. Could not accelerate. Had to pull the car off the road. Will not reset itself. The car is undriveable. 2014 Jeep Cherokee.

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 have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee with 71k miles. For more than 6 months I have noticed that the car takes a lot of effort to speed, and when it does the rpm is so high and it feels that the engine is going to burn out. It is like the gears are stucked. I took it to the dealer and they said that everything was good, except my engine mounts. I changed that; however, the problems continues. 5 days ago I had the service shifter message come up on my screen. It highlighted all my gears lights red and the screen was locked to service shifter. They said that everything was fine, but obviously the car have some issues with the transmission.

When driving my car, the transmission rough shifts unexpectedly causing a jerking movement, very scary to drive when this happens.

My problem started about two weeks ago when I went to put my car into reverse from park after having just started it and it drove forward instead of backwards. I had to put it back into park then back into reverse before it would go backwards (no I was not on a hill I was flat, the car was acting as though it was in drive instead of reverse). Then it progressed to I went to change from park to drive and the engine just reved when the gas was pressed (acting as though it was in neutral) and I yet again had to put it back into park and turn it off to get it to go into the right gear. Then it progressed to my battery not working properly and my car not wanting to start up right away. And it got even worse to the point my car now says I need service on the shifter. I have had this car for 9 months and I drive it 10 miles a day (to and from work combined) 5 days a week and hardly ever anymore than that. I had never had any problems with it before this week and now all these problems are popping up at once.

My Jeep will jump forward uncontrollably while moving between 9-13 mph. When it happens, it sounds like a bomb going off in the transmission slamming gears down. This happens regularly and can not be controlled. Often times this will happen with the shift lights are all red and you can not tell what gear you are in. I've had this shift module replaced multiple times and on the way home from the dealer will jump again.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee sport. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle would not accelerate past 20 mph. An independent mechanic stated that while running a test a code came up indicating that the acceleration pedal assembly had malfunctioned. The contact called a dealer breeden Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram 5900 us-71 bus, fort smith, ar 72908 (479) 646-4731 and they said there were no recalls. The manufacturer stated the same thing that the dealer had said. The failure mileage was 56,444. Tf.

While accelerating on the highway, my vehicle engaged in to park. My vehicle wouldn't do anything but slow down to a roll. I was able to brake, but the vehicle became idle.

Purchased used November of 2017. Has a little over 55,000 miles on it. Have noticed that the transmission seems to take longer than it should to shift and sometimes doesn't shift up at all or will shift down or even to neutral sometimes while driving at higher speeds. Also will lose power and then sometimes use a lot of power when not needed, causing the car to jerk or accelerate out of nowhere. Happens very often and has been continually getting worse since I've purchased it. But severely noticed it on my last road trip about 6 weeks ago.

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

I was driving on the highway and my check engine, transmission and park lights started flashing. My car wouldn't accelerate and my computer said �service transmission�. Now my car won't shift gears or accelerate. It has 40k miles on it.

While driving on a 4 lane highway at 65 mph the vehicle partially lost power and would not accelerate, up shift, or ownshift, the brake lights started flashing, along with many other lights on the dash including check engine. I pulled over to the side of the highway and shut off the Jeep. I waited a minute then started it back up. The service parking brake message was on the message center, the odometer is blinking, and 4wd is temporarily unavailable. I had it looked at by a mechanic and they showed me the park brake module had water intrusion and was very much corroded.

Traveling on town road. The battery light came lit up on the control panel with a warning to put vehicle in park. Engine completely shut off. Gas pedal unresponsive. We pulled over to the side of the road. Tried to restart vehicle several times over the course of 15+ minutes. Vehicle finally restarted like normal. Turned vehicle around by crossing over double yellow lines, put in reverse. Vehicle completely shut off leaving us disabled across road, same warning and battery light on. Engine finally restarted 10 minutes later. Returned the vehicle safely home.

After transmission recall repair, engine replaced due transmission recall repair 3rd time, vehicle idles rough when in neutral, check engine light came on and Jeep died. The vehicle started after a moment and the check engine light went off. Still having same issues after transmission repaired and a new engine due to the dealership resetting the computer instead of repairing the transmission. So new engine and repaired transmission, still having issues. Constant issue with the Jeep idling roughly, sometimes not starting or stalling in traffic on the highway and city streets.

Hi I have brought my car into the dealership several times and continues to experience the same issues. When I drive (20-25 mph), the car jolts as if someone has hit me from behind almost as if the car is shifting or downshifting gears. When im approaching a stop light and gradually slowing down without my foot on either the gas or brake, the car jolts back and forth. This also occurs when im driving uphill and downhill around 20 mph. I am scared to drive my car as this is a risk that I will crash due to the shifting. I have brought the car in several times, they have told me they did a software update in which did not work, I experience everyday when I am driving and continue to be worse everyday.

I was stopped at a light. When I depressed the accelerator, warning lights flashed on my dash, the engine stalled and a message to "shift to p then desired gear". Car was hard to start afterwards, issue happened 3 more times on the way back home (less than 1 mile). Car has been brought to mechanic for diagnostic testing. I did research online and this appears to be a known issue with the transmission. Hopefully will still be covered under warranty.

I was in the turning lane to turn into a grocery store and when I accelerated to turn my Jeep accelerated then the check engine light came on the service transmission light, traction control light, service parking brake light,there were several lights that came on and my Jeep was still running but stopped accelerating as I was turning into the store on a busy 4 lane road and I was pushing the gas but the vehicle would not move I coasted into the start of the parking lot where it was now telling me to shift my car into park as I did then shifted back to drive and tried to finish pulling into the store parking lot and still nothing. So I put the vehicle into park shut it off sat for a min turned it back on placed it back in drive the check engine light was still on so I drove it to the nearest auto zone to get the code checked because it was a Sunday (today 10/7/18) and the dealer ship is closed. They were unable to find a code and once the Jeep was turned back on all lights were off. I drove it home and parked it and I am taking it to the deal ship tomorrow. 2 weeks ago Thursday sept 27th my car stalled and shut off at a stop light while taking my kids to school the morning after filling my car with gas. It started back up immediately then shook like it may die again then nothing. No light indicators at all came on during that incident so I figured it could have been bad gas and thought nothing of it since I didn't have any other trouble til today. My children were with me both times and we got lucky this incident that happened today Sunday oct 7th 2018 we did not get hit because I barely made it into the parking.

On several occasions, this car has just stopped while in motion. Dashboard lights light up, get transmission warning. Have taken the car in on numerous occasions to be told that it needed an update on the computer. It is very scary to be driving a car and not know when or if it will shut off, and that an "update" would cause such an incident. I have had trouble with this car since the day we purchased it. I have reached out to Jeep and they just said to take it back to the shop so they could run tests on it, this was after it had been in the shop for 3 weeks. It seems like many others are having the same issue with the same model car. Someone is going to get killed if something isn't done with these issues. There should have been a recall in this faulty vehicle. I am posting that this new occurance happened today, but it has happened on several other occasions.

I bought my Jeep Cherokee 2014 awd with 60k miles on it. Within in 6 months, my dashboard said service transmission and it was undriveable. The dealership said it was software issue and fixed it. Not even a year later and I had the same issue again and it is now getting a new transmission. Often when driving, it revs very high and goes nowhere, or if I'm cruising a parking lot, its revving very high and will jerk into another gear. Not only that, but I've had know drive shaft bearing ands a new radio put it. The big issue is the transmission and the repeated tows, missing work, late to work, engine shaking, grinding, and now being replaced. I've owned it my own for 1. 5 years, am already at this point. Dealership won't replace it, just told me I have it covered under warrantly and OH well. These issues have happened when starting my car in the morning to leave my driveway, won't shift into gear. Driving on the highway attempting to switch lanes and have no acceleration so I slam on the brakes before I get into an accident because I know if it doesn't take off, its not going to until I least expect it.

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.

Transmission issue causing a serious safety issue. While braking the vehicle has an acceleration surge. It also does this while coasting and the transmission goes into a downshift. There are also issues with it shifting in several gears. There is a check engine light on u0402. Chrysler dealership tried to program the tcm twice and the light comes right back on.

My Jeep in currently being serviced for the third time, same problem. My Jeep will stop on the highway, at highway speeds, transmission goes to neutral, engine idles. You stop the car, shift to park and turn the engine off, then you can start it up, all the dash board lights are lit and when you shift to drive it bangs. This same scenario has happened over 20 times.

Car shut off then cranked back up began to drive car showed 80 mph only going 45 car running sluggish and engine revving up car then showed service transmission and shut off now service light is on only owned the car for a week seen lots of issues online with this same problem have kids and feel this is unsafe to drive dealer is looking at vehicle tomm.

Transmission slips, causing excessive rpms, abrupt and jolting shifts, and sudden variations in rpms. This has been an issue with the vehicle for several years. Have tired multiple times going to dealer to have the issue solved, but have only been given new updates which have failed to solve the problem.
