The starter went bad around 40,000 miles. Sometimes it starts other times it takes hours to start. I always get a notifaction that says starter protection mode engin warming after a few failed start attempts. The car stalls out often. Any turns shut the car off. Oil must be added twice a month to fix the stall issue. Half the time it says 4 wheel drive and cruise control unavailable. This Jeep is a lemon. A disastrous purchase. Should be a recall on the starters as many people have the same problem. 2 year old car costing me 900 to fix starter is a joke.

After getting my Jeep worked on at crown Jeep of chattanooga for my dash board saying �shifter service� they replaced my shifter bezel claiming that was all that was wrong with it. This is after my Jeep three the ebrake in while going 65 down a highway. Tonight 9/28/2020 while backing out my driveway my Jeep threw the ebrake on itself again. Then did it while going in toward at 35 mph. Chrysler Dodge Jeep needs to be held accountable for their mistakes in their cars.

I was driving and was trying to accelerate was going about 42 and my car dropped the gear and my car immediately slowed down to about 38mph and the car behind me almost slammed into the rear of the car. This has happened on multiple occasions. I have contacted my dealership on many occasions and they tell me nothing is wrong and I bring it to other mechanics and they tell me they have issues all the time with this make and model of this vehicle. I drive with a small child in the car and I feel completely unsafe. I am so furious with my Jeep dealership located on route 88 in brick new jersey. No one wants to take accountability. My second issue is with the lug screws in the tires they keep becoming �swollen� after replacing them constantly I was told yet again they need to be replaced and they are not cheap to keep replacing. And last my air bags censor has been replaced at least twice the driver airbag censor keeps popping up on my dashboard.

While traveling at speeds of 45mph in the city the gear shifted into neutral and the vehicle shut off and informed me to put the car into "p" after doing so I tried to start the vehicle but it was inoperable and the message "service the shifter" appeared on the dash with all lights on the shifter illuminated.

Esc light comes on randomly, condensation in both body side tail lights ,switching from defrost to a/c warm air blows to floor (set at 70),then I change to front vents warm air continues ,then try to set on auto and nothings blows out, then turn to a/c again and it goes to warm defrost. Front drivers side speaker randomly goes out.

Whole stationary, the Jeep has acted like it didn't want to start 4 separate times, the climate changes itself to go the the front vent on high heat every time the car is turned on regardless of setting before turning off, and radio turns on and off on its own. The aux port on the console will work one day and not the next. While driving, the cruise control has stopped working twice. All this happened in a span of two weeks.

While driving my 2014 Jeep Cherokee a warning showed up where the miles would be saying service shifter. Then all the lights came on on the gear shift the p n r and d light were all on I had to pull over park cut the car off and then once I turned it back on it went back to normal.

While driving down d rthe highway my Jeep shut off mid motion, my daughter and I were in the middle of a 4 way. We costed to side of road I cranked it 5-6 times then it started . When my Cherokee stoped the dash read shift to park then select a gear. The next time it died again in the middle of the road I was running 55 mph, the oil light flickered for a split second and the car died. The car lot I bought from said they found no issue this is an issue it is going to get me or my kids hurt. I have no warning when it will shut down. The only lights that come on is the shift into park press brake select gear. It is terrifying I use this Jeep Cherokee to transport my kids. It is happening more frequently.

While driving my Jeep a warning popped on the dash stating to service shifter. My car decided to have the brakes lock up and dash showed car was in park while the shifter clearly showed it was in drive. Thank god I was not going more than 15mph when this happened as we had just pulled out of the driveway and started to accelerate. My 5 year old was in the car with me. We or someone else could have been seriously hurt!.

Car stalled out going 25 miles an hour while driving on a side street. Temperature 102 at 3:02pm. Vehicle had only been running less than 30 minutes. All dash lights came on, scrolled thru each service notice {check engine, turn signals, etc. . } after 3rd attempt to restart vehicle, it started. Took 27 minutes. Once started, check engine light was on.

Jeep dealers have been unresponsive in resolving/fixing recall w47 leading to the lack of functionality of my Jeep Cherokee 2015, requiring tow from chester, MD to alexandria, va given the vehicle could no longer be driven. Dealer now suddenly has "recall fix" (not available after 9 previous calls/messages between 7/21/2020 - 8/22/2020 when dealer reps never returned a message/call). They claim as of today (after Jeep was dropped at dealer by tow truck), the recall fix has been done - but say the transmission light is still on and needs to be repaired/paid for by the customer. I believe this could be further result of not fixing a dangerous recall situation which could have damaged the car beyond the recall related to front wheels, transmission, loss of power, loss of park function. My vehicle stopped running, all transmission service/abs and parking brake service lights went on simultaneously and the Jeep rolled backward until I turned it off. Thankfully I had gotten off of busy highway and experienced this at an exit and then parking lot where I waived other drivers around me, parked the vehicle and then it was placed on a flat bed tow truck. Dealers are not taking this recall seriously. More details attached. The issue has not yet been resolved by ourisman alexandria where my vehicle was towed and is still located.

I am getting random software transmission issues. Sometimes the car power fades when driving on major roads to a stop so I have to restart the car. I now avoid driving on freeways because of this. Sometimes when driving on main roads I get a message to say that I have to put the car in "park" to change gear when I was just driving in d and did not want to change anyway as it was in automatic not manual. Which I do not use. After the message the car loses power and I have to stop to put the car in "park" to restart the car to continue on my journey, sometimes I have no issues. I have reported issues previously about the car losing power which were claimed to have been fixed after a recall for software updates. This car is currently unstable, unpredictable, unreliable and dangerous. I am very concerned about my safety and reluctant to drive the car anywhere. I feel uneasy as I do not know what is going to happen next. I have notified the dealer previously and today but I need this issue escalated. I have an alternative use of a car (my wife's) which I drive to avoid the above safety concerns and problems.

My car stalls and shuts off while driving it also gives me a message to shift into park while in motion.

On several occasions numbering an excessive amounts my 2014 Jeep Cherokee latitude 9-speed transmission has exhibited the hard shifting sluggish shifting and jerking since I've owned the vehicle . Beginning in August of 2020 I noticed on multiple occasions that when I went to pull out from a complete stop my vehicle would not go and would drop into neutral suddenly and I would have to return the vehicle to park and back to drive to get it to move and has caused me to almost be in a vehicular accident on two multiple occasions on the same day and I am concerned for my safety in this vehicle. I have researched and seen that there are numerous recalls for this model and make but mine Jeep is not included but it exhibits the same problems and it has the same make and model that numerous recalls were issued for.

While driving my Jeep revs into high gear, then all of the symbols on my dash light up and then my Jeep jolts and then shuts off. I have to put it into park and wait about 30 seconds and then try to turn it back on, sometimes it takes 2-3 times to turn back on.

Approx. 4:45pm when the temperature was 117, I was parked, with the engine off, waiting to pick up my dog at the vet. I had just driven 15 miles to this location = 25 minutes. Waited over 20 minutes for dog to be brought to car. When ready to leave, car would not start, all service/dash lights come on. (had air, radio, lights} waited over 40 minutes and finally car started. Drove directly home, again the 15 miles in about 20 minutes, backed into driveway, put car in park (did not turn engine off), took dog inside. When putting car in reverse to put car in garage, car stalled out. This was twice in one day!! this has been happening for the last 2 years on very hot days. Why no research/recall on this stalling out issue??.

While driving, the vehicle shuts down, I lost all control. A message popped up that said �apply brake and put in park or neutral� the engine slowly lost all acceleration and came to a complete stop. The car beeps and said �low battery� but all lights and voltage reading was completely normal. I turned car off, restarted car, and it was fine, I drive it another 100 meters and it repeats this exact cycle all the way home.

Car wont start, appears to be in park but its not. It rolls and wont engage the parking break. All lights and electrical comes on but wont start. Rolls when pushing on the breaks. Wont stop.

Auto shut down while in left turn lane, waiting for light to turn green. Auto seems to stall out after idling (after leaving drive thru, traffic light). Will not restart, all dash indicators come on. Air, radio, windows still functioning. Had help pushing car out of traffic. 55 minutes later in 117 degrees auto started. Next morning auto would not start, all dash indicators come on again. Had use the key fob trick to start. This has happened in 2019 as well first time, may 1, 2019, towed to dealership, left there for 2 days, nothing found.

"service shifter" warning comes up on the dash periodically. Been happening over the last year. Sometime it's a few days or months before it comes back on. Contacted local Jeep dealership who said not to bring it in until the warning is consistent. Also, dealership said they can't check the warning unless it's active. The warning goes away if the vehicle is turned off and back on. Warning has come on while both in motion and stationary. Searched numerous websites and it appears alot of people are having this issue. Why isn't there a recall on this? seems like no one really knows how to fix it.

Service shifter light comes on and all shift gears (park, neutral, reverse,drive ) light up in red after driving on mountain road. Pulled to side and turned car off. Reset light but came on again 20 min later . Apparently known issue with Jeeps.

Service shifter warning appears and all red lights appear on the shifter. Today while driving the message popped up and my car shut off while driving. I was trying to stop at a stop sign when this happened.

Single click heard from brake area at the end of braking. Doesn't happen if you turn of stability control or put into snow or sport mode. Dealership cant find reason for loud click. Rotors and pads replaced, happens about 50% of times braking.

The service shifter has come on multiple times lately and it requires me to shut the car down completely. Once restarted the car runs perfectly until about another 300 miles or so and the service light comes back on. Recently my car will show service shifter then it just shuts down completely in the middle of driving extremely dangerous. I've been seeing more and more people having this problem with this year make and model and it should definitely be something they investigate and recall it's extremely dangerous to just be driving and your car decides to shut off.

As driving vehicle shuts down loose all control. Message pops up that says. Apply brake and put in park or neutral. Engine shuts down. In motion on highway. Very dangerous.

Shifter service warning light has came on at 48,000 miles and goes off when I restart my vehicle but has came back on repeatedly afterwards. It only happens after I'm driving for about 10 mins and when I put my Jeep in park and the warning light comes on and all of the shifter lights turn red.

The message service shifter appears, and all of the gears on the gear shift light up. There is no specific reason this happens. It has happened multiple times, sometimes while in motion and braking, sometimes while the car is parked. It started when my car was no longer under the 32,000 mile warranty at the dealership. This seems to be a popular issue after I researched it.

An error that continues to come and go is to �service shifter. � it is apparent there are moments that the shifter sputters, the car will not shift gears (automatic) and refuse to accelerate. The check engine light also comes on for this. Deal ships do not seem to act aware of this issue, but it seems extremely prevalent online. It appears to be based on a faulty shift in the vehicle or bad wiring. However, the deal ships act like nothing is wrong but will change it for you for around $7,000. The car sputtering and refusing to shift while trying to accelerate is extremely dangerous from faulty components and needs to be investigated. It's clear a recall is needed for this.

I purchased may Jeep Cherokee in December 2017. On the first hot day of may 2020, I went into my car, and noticed the dashboard area along with the vents, had began to melt! it was hot outside, but this is not the first time that my car has been sitting in the sun. When I touched the vent, my fingers were covered in this black, gooey substance. Not only is the interior of my car destroyed, but my concern is whether this substance is hazardous. Are there chemicals in the paint or any toxic elements? I have showed the photos of the problem to many people. And everyone has the same answer, which is, "I have never seen anything like this before. " I contacted the dealership, where I purchased my Jeep. My agent is currently looking into this. The second problem involves the shifter. All of the lights are lit up. I have already had an incident where I thought I was in "park" but it turned out I was in reverse. I found multiple complaints and concerns about this problem in my research.

Service shifter light comes on randomly when I am driving- this lights up all shifter gears. Dealership said this is a common issue with Jeep Cherokee's and the issue is the shifter bezel and wiring harness.
