1 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2019

Warning appears about the shifter and all the lights come on. I read a forum where dozens of people are having this problem and having to replace their harness and wiring kit. I've also been told there's something about this models cruise control but when I search on here nothing comes up.

2 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2019

While driving my 2018 Jeep Cherokee a message appeared on the dash �service shifter� all lights on the shifter then light up red the �prndl� this has happened multiple times. The vehicle seems to not shift gears properly when this happens. It has been checked by the dealer and the shifter/ wiring harness need to be replaced. I was informed this is an ongoing issue with most Jeeps in the last few years and no recall has yet been made, I have only owned this vehicle for 7 months and am very disappointed thus far. This being an ongoing issue that Jeep is aware of I feel that some action should be made for the customer. I am a loyal Jeep customer but after this issue not being resolved for years I may not continue to be a loyal customer and go elsewhere to purchase my next vehicle. This first occurred on September 25,2019 and has happened multiple times since the first occurrence.
