Noticed the "service shifter" light came on and lights blinking next to the shifter started flashing then the Jeep starting shaking violently and loss of power started to slow the vehicle down, pulled over and shut it off and restarted and drove home- " service shifter" light still comes on - we just pull over and shut engine off and restart. Jeep dealership is no help.
4wd light has been on along with engine light. Took it to a mechanic but and a problem with cylinder 2 came up and they checked it and everything was fine. T'll sometimes slightly roll in park before perking to a stop. While driving it'll sputter sometimes.
Date: [xxx] I went to the exxon gas station in richmond ,va to fill up for the trip back to rocky mount, n. C. When I put the handle hose into truck hole to pump the gas the gas would not go down the hose. It splashed out on the ground, on my feet and clothes. After several attempts with no resolve, I contacted my insurance for roadside assistance. Which led to the Jeep towed to n. C. I view this as a manufacture defect. I researched this issue and found that there are others consumers dealing with the same difficulty with their Jeep. They can not longer pump gas in the tank. This is a manufacture issue which should be investigated for a recall of this impairment, defected vehicles. In order to correct and repair the defected component or system malfunctions.

I’m not the only one with the same issues. I know a lady who has the same problem with her vehicle and has been quoted thousands of dollars to fix it. Cylinders and engine housing. . Anti freeze leak. . And then expect us to pay expensive car payments.
This vehicle has intermittent no acceleration from a stop going into traffic and will finally respond breaking the tires loose and will accelerate so fast that the vehicle in front of you is in danger. I am a retired shop owner and tech and this is a very dangerous situation not easily duplicated for diagnostic purposes but in following Jeep forums has definitely been a problem for many and I am sure there are many of these issues and vehicles still on the road. There should definitely be a recall issued to correct this situation.
Getting frequent service shifter messages on dash board display. Repaired at a Jeep dealership previously, did not fix problem.
My car completely cut off while driving it on 2 separate occasions on 6/14 & 6/29. I was going 15-20 mph and slowing down for a stop light both times. The car just cut off without any warning. Once I put it in park I was able to start it back up without a problem. I took it to get serviced and the shop said there were multiple faulty computer codes so they reset the system. They advised me to call the dealership to see if there is a recall. I called a dealership and there is not a recall. They told me to bring it in so they could do a diagnostic test and check the fuel system. The earliest appointment at 2 dealerships I called is a month out and if I scheduled a drop-off appointment that could be done in about 7-10 days.
Service shifter at 40000 miles and now at 54000 miles Jeep is sputtering when accelerating and Jeep will not start. Batter and alternator are good.
Brought used car at 45000 miles. Got service shifter light and check engine light (pe420 catalytic converters). Service shifter light appear randomly when driving from 10-60 mph, and goes away when turning off car. Has returned every 3 days for one week. Check engine light remains on for entire week. Rear passenger side door lock does not respond to lock/unlock button press. Reverse camera does not display clear image.
If it is below freezing outside, my gas door will not open. When I press the open button inside my car, it makes a sound as if it is trying to open, but will not budge. Even when I try to open it manually, it won't open without extreme force and several minutes of trying. My gas door has popped off twice due to this issue and trying to get it open.
While driving vehicle shuts off with out warning. Start is impossible for 30-45 seconds. No check engine light and no drivability issues before or after vehicle shut down. Has happened twice in the last few weeks.
Three times while actively moving in traffic, the vehicle has shut off without warning. The vehicle has been able to be stopped safely and placed into park. The electrical works so hazard lights have been able to be engaged. However, the vehicle fails to restart on the first few attempts. Ultimately it will restart. The service rep indicated this is a known issue with these vehicles and he has seen a lot of this on this model. He noted the engine has loose tolerances to achieve the mileage rating. As a result it looses oil rapidly. And Jeep implemented engine sensors to stop the engine when the oil is low. The sensors do not take into account if the vehicle is moving or at what speeds. I called the dealer about this extremely dangerous situation immediately, to which we got an answer to drop it off, they will have to look at it when they get to it. This vendor and vehicle have had over a dozen significant recalls and need to be taken off the road.
Slowed from 45 mph to 15 mph to enter driveway and car stalled out and totally locked up, could not move gear shift to get into neutral to move car off part of state highway road! car mileage at 14477, oil change not due per dealership sticker for another 1500 miles. This is 2nd instance of dangerous stall out, had dealership document last one, they said it was due to oil being low, but car wasn't due for change for another 1000 miles at that time! had there been any oncoming traffic, my nine year old would have taken brunt of hit the way car stalled this time. God forbid I have to swerve to avoid hitting an animal and get killed!.
When on the cooler side after starting/, take a turn and stalls. 18000 miles on the engine. Started about 2 weeks ago and getting worse.
Vehicle losing power upon turning or take off, gear shifting while driving and accelerating. Shifting is violent and loss of power major. No long feel safe driving and only has 44k miles on it. Dealer has done electronic update and did not fix issue, but made it worse.
Car caught on fire while driving. Entire front end was in flames and burned completely.
Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee latitude. The contact stated that while driving 15 mph, the vehicle stall without warning. The contact stated vehicle had been burning excess oil. The contact stated vehicle was able to restart on the third attempt. The contact drove to residence. The contact took vehicle to gas station and checked oil and was at the very bottom of the oil stick. The contact called Jeep Chrysler Dodge city (203) 531-0505 located at 631 west putnam avenue, greenwich, CT 06830 and is awaiting for a appointment. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and open a case. The failure mileage was 2,3300. As.
There was already a recall on the make and model of my car, Jeep Cherokee latitude; however, when I search by VIN it shows zero unrepaired recalls. So if the problem is fixed (no one even attempted to fix my car), why does my car still shut off in the middle of driving? when it shuts off I can’t turn the wheel, can’t put it in park, and the gas and brakes/abs don’t work. This has happened many times with my daughter, currently 4yo, in the car; why do I have to risk my life every single time we need to go somewhere? every single dealership and mechanic I’ve brought it to says there is nothing wrong with the car, yet it continues to shut off while driving… I did crash the first time it happened, but it was in a snow storm and possibly unrelated? no injuries or damage.
On four separate occasions while stopped on a steep incline the light turned green and I stepped on the gas and there was no response from the engine for about 3 seconds. This caused me to role backwards then when the engine engaged, it lounged forward almost hitting the car in front of me. The vehicle was taken to the dealership but they could not replicate the situation for a lack of hills therefore nothing was done. This could be a real problem for someone not expecting the situation to happen.
The vehicle doesn't shift gears properly when moving. It mostly happens on a regular streets in day-to-day driving I've not noticed it at higher speeds. The rpms go up really really high and yesterday when I was getting onto a smaller highway from a main highway it's slid into almost a neutral state, it didn't stall but didn't accelerate either on the turn coming off light . This is happens frequently since I got the car in February and I brought it to the dealer a few weeks ago and they said they updated some kind of software. It hasn't helped -the only way I get to engage the transmission properly is if I move stick into manual and drop it into the + then go back to automatic but that's not really an appropriate answer and I worry about my teenagers using the car. I can't stand the fuel saving on off switch because it's not responsive enough and I wonder if that's part of it, maybe this fuel limiting provision is not functioning properly and fuel isn't provided fast enough to handle the acceleration so the car just kind of runs out of gas mid task. I'm providing the receipt from a local dealer but this is not the dealer I bought the car from, they weren't helpful as I they can be.
