I have a 2018 Jeep Cherokee. The service shifter keeps coming on and all the gear shift lights are lit up. The car will stall or completely stop operating when this occurs. It occurs when I am driving in city traffic, highway traffic or stationary.
The �service shifter� comes on and all of the gears light up. The car has a smell of antifreeze but no indication of the car running hot. The warning goes away after restarting the car. This happens while the car is in motion.
Right when my vehicle hit 25,000 miles, I noticed that on the highway while in motion the service shifter light came on and gear shift lights all in red, p,r,n,d. You shut the engine off and all turn off then when you start driving again they'll do the same. It'll stop for a few days and then start again. Finally took it to the dealership it ended up begin wires and a shifter harness. A lot of Jeep Cherokee 2017-2019 owners are experiencing the same thing right around the same miles. This needs to become a recall.
Have had several issues with this Cherokee, my oil pressure light would come on when I would take sudden turn, I took it in to my local dealer and they stated to start an oil consumption test, it appears the motor equipped in the Cherokee was burning oil and they couldn't determine where the oil was going, also during this time, my �service shifter� light came on my dash and all of the shifter lights would come on at the same time, this would happen periodically, they decided they needed to replace motor due to the oil issue, I asked about the service shifter issue, they stated that they could not find any faults with the service shifter, sure enough 3 weeks later my service shifter light came on again and wouldn't go off, I was unable to tell which gear I was in because of this because of all of the gear lights were on simultaneously, needless to say, the dealer does not have an answer for this issue, I would like to request this issue be documented and repaired or recalled.
While driving and sometimes when turning my car on and putting it in gear all the lights on the gear shifter will come on and it will read a message on the dash "service gear shifter". I will have to come to a stop, put it in park, and shut it off and turn it back on before the message will go away and the lights will go off.
�service shifter� warning appears without warning and all gear indicator lights turn red. In motion. 65 mph us 18 or 218 waterloo iowa. I'm told a shifter bezel and wiring harness are needed but not available.
While driving my dash will suddenly state "service shifter" and all my gear shifter lights will be lit up. The only way I get them off is I have to pull over, stop, turn vehicle off, and restart it. This has happen in town and on the highway. This has happened now several times over approximately 4 months now. The first time being when I got my first oil change.
