2014 JEEP CHEROKEE Vehicle Speed Control Problems

Car keeps shutting off and the acceleration is bad and transmission doesn’t work as well when i shift gears

This vehicle had multiple reprograms for transmission control module and still had same issue I have only had the vehicle 1 year and driven it 7k and I take. It to Jim Browne jeep dealership they said they transmission control module needs replacement the jeep when I brake jumps forward and speeds up its unpredictable and unsafe it also does not shift into gear it slips and I did a search and see. This has been a reoccurring issue .As well as my back up camera appears while I am driving and parked ,or screen just says jeep or goes blue unable to change dash supply control at all ,this vehicle is a lemon and we were not told of any of these issues

Body control module had a recall I had to get it fixed for the 2nd time and it’s giving us issues again,jeep has 46k miles and steering column control module is faulty and unconnect dash/radio/ac temp is also faulty,replaced blower motor and still having ac issues only mechanic has been Jim Browne dealer since we have had this jeep for a year .Jeep jerks when braking and does not brake it goes faster.when pressing gas to drive jeep goes slower.jeep dash of connect is blue screen and when reversing rear camera appears and does Not disappear not even when in drive or park must turn off jeep for camera to turnoff

My 2014 Jeep Cherokee began exhibiting repeated transmission and electrical malfunctions, particularly after startup or while idling. The most concerning issue is the appearance of a “Switch to Park” warning message, which occurs while the vehicle is already in Drive. When this happens, the transmission fails to engage properly, and I’m unable to shift into gear without cycling through Park multiple times. **seems to start happening after filling gas tank to full** This poses a major safety risk, especially in intersections or during stop-and-go traffic. The car has also experienced flashing odometer issues, rough idle, and erratic behavior when shifting — all of which point to a communication failure between core modules (BCM, TCM, PCM). A Chrysler-certified dealership performed a proxy alignment after acknowledging that the modules were “talking at the same time.” While no fault codes appeared on my OBD-II scanner, the dealer determined that the issue required a software-level alignment. However, I was told this is not part of any current recall or TSB, despite my symptoms being identical to other complaints already logged (e.g., NHTSA ID 11425007). This problem has occurred multiple times, both before and after dealership service. I was also informed there are no current recalls, but VIN-based systems like VinSeeker.com have suggested there may be open recall alerts related to transmission or software issues. This type of malfunction places the driver and passengers at risk of unexpected stalling, transmission disengagement, or inability to accelerate — especially dangerous in high-traffic areas. The issue appears to be known, systemic, and potentially tied to faulty transmission control software or defective module synchronization.

Vehicle randomly imitates being in neutral when it is actually in drive mode. It has lost power on long hill climbs wthout any downshifting as would be necessary. Vehicle will occasionally accelerate on its own without notice. This has happened both on the open road and setting at red lights. These are sometimes able to reset with the turning off and back on of the motor. These symptoms started very randomly, but have increased in events over time.

NHTSA Recall # 19V-447 I do believe it has to do with this recall that states the clutch is getting stuck in the transmission it does say that the recall has been completed but it is obviously doing it again

I started the vehicle and started to drive. The gear slid to park and stop in the middle of the road. An indicator said to check transmission. After pushing it off the road, the next day is driving again. All the check engine sign went off.

This vehicle has an extremely dangerous & ongoing issue related to the 9-speed transmission. Many times the vehicle does not know when to shift, sputtering/sluggish/jerky when accelerating from being stopped and coming to a stop. Frequently the vehicle engages itself into Neutral and/or Parking Brake while driving at both city and highway speeds. This is a very dangerous safety hazard as any motorist trailing behind me can not anticipate the sudden deceleration that ensues. The vehicle then either becomes "stuck" in a gear at too high an RPM at given speed, or engages the parking brake or seems to then be in Neutral. These instances regularly frequent, leaving me having to pull off side of roadway in sometimes dangerous position, perform handful of restart cycles in order to clear the condition and be back in a proper enough gear-state to get back on the road. The following cluster warning lights coincide with the issues: "Check Engine" - "Service Transmission" - "Service Parking Brake". After a handful of restart cycles, the lights clear from the cluster, but the issues remain. The vehicle is unable to come to a comfortable complete stop without a premature-sudden jerk stop. This throws anyone in the vehicle forward in their seats. Also, when ascending an incline or traversing a decline, the vehicle shifts off-sequence in such a way to violently jerk-kick, feeling as though something in the drivetrain will disconnect itself from the chassis. I have recently attempted to submit a recall request over the phone with Chrysler as these conditions are well documented past recalls that are "no longer open". Most notably Chrysler Recall Numbers V69, S55, and P31. They will not "waive" repair costs for me. I purchased the vehicle in March-April of 2024 with 87,000 miles. If previous owner & dealership did not address the recall when it was open, I feel it should not be my financial responsibility to correct, nor should I be absorbing the negative equity when traded in.

The service parking brake warning pops up on start up (P)!, along with the engine light and the traction control light. A warning that says service parking brake appears, around with a service transmission warning, and occasionally another message saying 4wd unavailable at the moment. Another message says restart car in park at zero speed, which the car is already in park & not moving. The car is not drivable when all of these are on. If I attempt to change gears, the gear light flashes & when the car shifts gears it is very loud. It is also hard to turn the wheel. The emergency park has also come on, in it's own, while driving. Almost killed me on the highway. Had also done it in my driveway, when starting to pull out. Also when the engine auto shifts, it makes like a whining noise. The engine sounds to go in overdrive whenever going down hills or up hills. Down is worse though. This has been doing this since I got the car in 2021. I expressed these issues to the place I bought the car from, just days after buying it, and they refused to fix anything even though it was under the 30 day warranty. They claimed no issues. I have proof of mentioning these issues, to the person who sold me the car through the dealership.

The contact owned a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated when she was reversing (R) out of the parking space, when she straightened the vehicle and shifted to drive (D) the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact stated that the vehicle crossed over several parking lot barriers and crashed into the front end of a parked vehicle. The contact stated that the acceleration happened so fast she was not able to depress the brake pedal and she did not notice how fast she was moving. It was unknown if any lights illuminated. The vehicle crashed into the front end of the parked vehicle. The contact's driver's side hood and grill were crushed, and her driver's side wheels well and fender were also crushed and damaged. The driver's side door was badly damaged and could not be opened. The contact was transported by ambulance to a hospital. She said she was treated for a bruise on her left knee, she had no other injuries. The parked vehicle was unoccupied. The police were on the scene but did not file a report. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot and the contact stated that her insurance company later called to advise her that the vehicle was a total loss. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000.

Mileage: 104,000

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at approximately 50–60 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and stalled. While driving 75 MPH and decelerating to 55 MPH, there was a thumping sound detected, and the vehicle started shuddering. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified about the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000. The VIN was not available.

Mileage: 200,000

When gas pedal is pressed starting from a stop, the jeep doesn’t move right away, then jerks forward. Also, when driving, it sounds like the automatic gear is not shifting up, sounds like the jeep is “reving up”. Another thing happening, is as I start moving, I hear a clunk sound, towards the rear of the jeep, like something might fall off

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving and attempting to accelerate, there was an abnormal pop and a clunking sound detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the bolts on the power transfer unit had been stripped. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure was related to Manufacturer Communication Number: 21-014-23 (Power Train). The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

Mileage: 170,000

I honestly have no idea what system failed but I was doing 80 on the interstate and my car shifted into nuetral . All of the lights came on parking brake , brake and then my car would not drive any longer , luckily I was able to coast onto the shoulder but I literally could have been killed. I had just passed road construction that went from 4 lanes to 2 barracaded lanes. i waited 30 minutes and my car restarted like nothing . So I thought maybe it was a glitch until I was driving again and it did it again. I had to keep putting my car in park and then shifting it back to drive . It has not been inspected yet as i'm trying to get it to the dealership without it cutting off .

While driving, at any speed, for any length of time (sometimes minutes, sometimes hours) the car will act like it is shifting to neutral, no matter how fast I am traveling, it’s happened at 10 mph and up. It’s random, no rhyme or reason. It has been in 4 shops since November and does not code for errors. No one has found the issue. It is unsafe as it will redline the rpm, make the accelerator useless, and the only cure is to drop the car into neutral and abruptly stop. This can lead to a serious accident as there is not time to come to a safe stop or pull over safely on certain roads. It appears like this may be the same issue as a recall from 2016, maybe the fix didn’t fix the hazard? Some lights flash on the dash. Immediately when it happens, the traction control light comes on, and occasionally the “service transmission” warning will briefly appear. My transmission has been checked multiple times now and it appears to be in good condition. One jeep dealer thought it could “maybe” be a transfer case issue as it wasn’t going into gear. They did the W20 recall and it hasn’t had that issue since. The red lining and apparent neutral shift is still happening. We had another shop give us a 2nd opinion on the transfer case, it was functional and nothing was wrong with it. Two shops concluded the transmission and transfer case were fine. We have had three diagnostics on the car, one came back with a faulty oil sensor, which turned out to be unplugged, however we replaced it anyway to be safe. And one came back with voltage errors since it sat in their parking lot for a month, they replaced a battery cable and nothing else came up. But they were willing to replace the transfer case in a maybe, which prompted our second opinion. This is frustrating and I am terrified to drive it. The last time I did I nearly got hit by a semi truck when it redlined the rpm and I had to abruptly stop where there was no safe place to pull over. This happened 4x in 20 miles

Upon trying to enter a slightly inclined parking space in a parking garage, as I was lightly pressing on the accelerator, the car suddenly accelerated (tires screeching) and hit the concrete half wall. No time to even brake properly as it happened so fast. I had noticed a lack in acceleration that morning driving to my destination. Thankfully no injuries.

My vehicle drives about 30 miles before an alert will appear saying to service transmission. Along with the check engine light coming on. Vehicle will not accelerate and on hills will begin to roll backwards. When this happens the vehicle must be parked for at least 15 minutes and then on startup all codes will reset and return back to its normal operating. Took to dealership several times with error code P1DA9 and there was nothing that could be fixed.

Gear shifting and transmission problems are on going and intermittent. computer system confused to witch location shifter is in. Sent to dealer for system up date witch only lasted one week before problems returned. error code p0810

Everytime i put m y car in reverese, back up, stop, and then put my car in Drive mode, the car will just stall out, The whole car turns off, Occasionaly, the car will not even shift and will be stuck in Reverse. When that happens, i am unable to turn the car and obisouly i am not able to restart the car. I then have to initatite the emergency brake, then wait sometimes up to an hour. Then try to shift the care to park to restart the car. Then once i restart the car it appears the car works just fine until next time i reverse.

The vehicle speed accelerates on its own when trying to come to a complete stop which almost caused me to rear end another car at a traffics light, the powertrain is completely off and creates an unsafe riding experience which impacts the steering and control of the vehicle, stalls randomly. There is rough shifting with the transmission, which jerks the car periodically. When driving at a speed above 60 entire vehicle shimmer and shakes uncontrollably, feels like the tires are getting ready to detach from the vehicle when driving at higher speeds and mostly when trying to come to a complete stop.

One day while we were driving, shifting became very slow and harsh. A few miles later, vehical slowed down enormously out of nowhere, and service brakes and transmission lights came on. No 4wd, no traction control available etc. Gigantic safety hazard, especially. With no prior indications or warnings.

Jeep put out a recall for the transmission and the recall was supposedly done the recall states that it would correct the issue of the car putting itself into neutral at any speed and making the driver return to park before he could re-enter a gear and redistribute power to the wheels. The recall should make the car go into a limp mode with limited power yet still producing power so it can exit from the roadway it's not doing that and this doesn't matter if it's 70 miles an hour when this happens it cuts the power to the wheels and your only option is to try to get out of traffic put the car in park and put it back in the gear. the recall by jeep was S 55 says it's been done but this car again is putting itself in the neutral it's been to three different Jeep dealers and finally I took it to an independent mechanic that finally figured out that this was probably the issue Jeep doesn't care I was almost hit by an 18-wheeler going through the mountains 2 weeks ago when the car took itself out of of gear and put itself into neutral as I was doing a pretty nasty switch from downhill to uphill in the Rocky Mountains with a semi coming down right behind me. I lost power on the uphill side on a three-lane highway on the innermost Lane with nowhere to go. I had no power I could not get back across traffic to get off the highway I ended up stopping traffic just put the car back in the park to restart hi feel like this is an incredible safety hazard and it clearly if they did the recall it has failed and it is doing exactly what the recall was to fix again thank you for your time and help

I was driving on the highway approximately 60mph, suddenly the service 4wd light appears. I took it to a Jeep dealership service center and diagnose and needed a 2 speed transfer case unit. It was replaced costing a little under $3000. The problem was not fixed and garage said it was misdiagnosed and still doesn’t know what’s wrong. Now the vehicle stalls while I’m driving and will not start immediately. I’m afraid this is going to cause an accident! Also it will have a sudden acceleration or a delayed acceleration while driving or when moving from a complete stop. This is very scary!

The vehicle shaking stop it by itself and acceleration stars slow takes longer for second gear then pushes back and forth as it’s getting fast or to a stop

Car shifts before 3rd gear

While driving the vehicle on September 22, 2021, the 4 wheel drive light flashed on then stopped, and then began to flash consistently. The vehicle began to shift out of gear on its own accord and lose speed without warning while driving on the interstate. The vehicle was taken directly to Landmark Jeep on September 22, 2021. The dealer diagnosed a Faulty PTU in the transfer case, due to a computer glitch. I was told that they could not fix the glitch without replacing the whole unit at a cost of $4,100. I was told that my jeep was not under your recall. Jeeps of the same year that have this fault are currently covered under recall NHTSA 20V343 and NHTSA 20E037. My VIN has the same exact safety issue and your recall should be expanded to include all affected vehicles. My vehicle is available for inspection.

My daughter was driving and the parking brake automatically came on and locked up the wheels and caused her to run off the road and hit a mail box and slide into a ditch

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING THE CAR DOWN A CITY STREET WHEN IT HAS FOR NO KNOWN REASON SHUT OFF AND BECOME IMMEDIATELY INOPERABLE. THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS WAS IN JUNE 2020. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT GOT NO INDICATION FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC THAT SPECIALIZES IN ELECTRONIC ISSUES. THEY FOUND AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT THEY SAID MAY HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. THIS PAST SATURDAY (1/16/21) I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN A CITY STREET WHEN AGAIN, WITH NO WARNING, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEY CAN FIND NOTHING DIAGNOSTICALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR THESE ISSUES BUT IT IS IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT IS AT THE MECHANICS. I CAN PROVIDE IF NEEDED.

WHILE EITHER SLOWING TO A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE "JERKS", OR "LUNGES". THOUGH I APPLY THE PEDALS SMOOTHLY (GRADUALLY), THE CAR MOVES AS IF I WERE PUMPING THE BRAKE AT ~1 SECOND INTERVALS. BECAUSE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKE, THIS CAUSES DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO GET AWFULLY CLOSE (AS MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT SIGNAL THAT I AM STOPPING). THIS HAPPENS CHRONICALLY (>1X /WEEK).

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. *TR

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. *TR

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 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.

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.

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.

RECALL NUMBER 16V-529 HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED FOR 3 YEARS, AND I'VE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ISSUES BECAUSE OF IT. JEEP WILL NOT LOOK AT IT FOR FREE DESPITE THE FACT THAT I'M AFFECTED BY THIS WARRANTY. MY CAR SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING FREQUENTLY, AND IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FIX FOR THIS YET.

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.

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.

THE CAR STALLS WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS THEN JOLTS INTO GEAR MAKING IT FEEL AND SOUND LIKE I'VE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND, IT IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT ACCELERATES EXTREMELY FASTER WHEN I LIGHTLY PUSH THE GAS, IT WILL ALSO DECELERATE AT TIMES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE ELECTRICAL WILL FLASH ALL THE SIGNALS AND TELL ME TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AFTER I FILL MY TANK MOSTLY AND THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT AND JERK UNTIL INPUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC. THE CONTROLS TO THE LIFT GATE DO NOT ALWAYS WORK WHEN PRESSED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID IT WAS A SENSOR AND VALVE BUT THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND ONLY CHANGED THE OIL WHICH WAS NOT NEEDED AND SHUT THE LIGHT OFF ONLY FOR IT TO COME BACK ON ONE DAY AFTER I HAD TO DEMAND THEY FIX MY CAR OR GIVE IT BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST HOLDING IT ON THE LOT, THE SUSPENSION AND SHOCKS ARE OFF THEY KEEP WEARING MY TIRES AND THE BUTTON FOR THE SHIFT GEAR FELL OFF WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR WHICH IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT

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 EXPERIENCE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN COASTING. WHEN THE CAR ATTEMPTS TO DOWN SHIFT, THERE IS A SUDDEN INCREASE IN THE ENGINE RPMS AND A SUDDEN AND UNINTENDED INCREASE IN SPEED. I HAVE GOTTEN NO SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER. THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO OPERATE. NOTE: WHEN THIS OCCURS MY FOOT IS ON NEITHER THE GAS OR BRAKE PEDALS. THIS OCCURS MOSTLY ON LEVEL STREET AND HIGHWAYS.

Mileage: 55,000

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.

Mileage: 53,000

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.

Mileage: 68,000

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.

Mileage: 52,000

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.

Mileage: 90,000

PURCHASED USED WITH 36,000 MI. ON 20TH DAY OF OWNERSHIP, EXPERIENCED THE FEELING OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE APPROACHING DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEED. THAT EVENING FELT SAME "REAR-ENDED" FEELING WHILE SITTING STILL IN DRIVE-THRU. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD SO SUDDENLY THAT HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, WE WOULD HAVE HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. SIMULTANEOUS TO "LURCH" FORWARD, THE CAR DIED LIKE THE FEELING OF "POPPING CLUTCH ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION". DROVE HOME AND ENGINE DIED AGAIN AT ABOUT 5 MPH AFTER RIGHT TURN. RESTARTED & CONTINUED ONTO STREET AND INTO DRIVEWAY. NEXT MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, IT FELT LIKE IT WANTED TO DIE AND WAS STRUGGLING WITH GEARS. I PULLED INTO MY PARKING PLACE AND MY BOSS HAPPENED TO BE STANDING THERE NEXT TO HIS CAR. AS HE STOOD NEXT TO THE CAR WHILE I WAS IN IT, IT LURCHED FORWARD AGAIN AND DIED. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE WAS STARTLED, AND AGAIN, HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, I COULD HAVE HIT HIM AS WELL AS THE BRICK WALL IN FRONT OF THE CAR. SO I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT DIED AGAIN WHILE IN "P". NOT COOL, HEADED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I STARTED IT AGAIN, AND AS I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONTO A VERY BUSY STREET, THE CAR HESITATED (WHAT SEEMED LIKE A COUPLE OF SECONDS) BEFORE IT WOULD CROSS THE 2 LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC GOING 40-50 MPH. UM, YEAH. SCARY. A MILE OR SO DOWN THE ROAD, IT DECIDED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN, THIS TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3-LANE ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED! I RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT - NO DIAGNOSIS THERE AFTER THEM KEEPING THE CAR FOR 4 DAYS. THEY SENT TO JEEP DEALER, WHERE IT STILL SITS TODAY, WAITING FOR IT TO ACT-UP AND GET A DIAGNOSIS SO IT CAN BE "FIXED". JEEP HAS HAD IT 15 DAYS AND STILL NO ANSWERS.

SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. SO YIELDING IN THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I KNOW THIS HAPPENS SO I AM VERY CAUTOUS WHEN DRIVING AS THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR INCIDENT TO HAPPEN AND IT IS SCARY. I HAD SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAD THEM ALL FIXED.TOOK THIS TO BE FIXED, BUT THEY CAN FIX IT. THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM AS THEY WERE GETTING COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS.

Mileage: 10,000

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ON AN INCLINE (I.E. SLOWING ENTERING A SLOPING DRIVEWAY) THE VEHICLE WILL PAUSE LIKE IT IS SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, THEN ACCELERATE QUICKLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTING TO MOVE FROM A STOP (I.E. RED LIGHT) IT WILL START SLOWING, PAUSE (LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL - OR SKIPPING A GEAR) THEN SURGE FORWARD. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN A GRADE IN TOWN, AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES TO SLOW, AS SOON AS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE WILL SPEED UP AND THE RPM'S WILL JUMP OVER 2500. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO INCREASE RPM'S AND ACCELERATE WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM A 35MPH ZONE TO A 25MPH ZONE. SOMETIMES WHILD DRIVING IN THE CITY THE ENGINE WILL INCREASE SPEED WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT. AFTER THE IDLE OR DEAD TRANSMISSION MOMENT THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH INTO GEAR. ALL OF THESE ISSUES OCCUR REGULARLY. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 27,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE PURCHASE, AND HAS BECOME WORSE RECENTLY. THE VEHICLE DID HAVE ALL OF THE OTHER RECALLS PERFORMED EXCEPT THE LATEST NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V529 (I.E. REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER) THIS HAS MADE THE VEHICLE DRIVE EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. REFLASHING THE COMPUTER WAS COMPLETED IN JULY 2016 IT DID NOT HELP. JEEP SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL "LEARN" THE MORE THAT IT IS DRIVEN. MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS SO BAD.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD HARD SHIFTING EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2014. THERE'S A SLIGHT DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IN JANUARY OF 2016, MY VEHICLE ACTUALLY STOPPED ON ME WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE SCHOOL ZONE SO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING AT A SLOW SPEED. IT TOOK ME FOUR ATTEMPTS TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES IN JANUARY BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START, OR IF IT DID, ONCE I STARTED DRIVING THE ON DASH SCREEN WOULD SAY "SHIFT TO DRIVE" AND THEN THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION SO I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE UP AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDED A TRANSMISSION UPDATE AND A NEW BATTERY. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT A BAD BATTERY WILL COST THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE TO HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. BUT AFTER THE UPDATE AND THE NEW BATTERY, THE HARD SHIFTING AND THE DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING REMAINED. MY VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY THREE KIDS IN THE CAR; THE HARD SHIFTING MAKES IT FEEL LIKE WE WILL GET WHIPLASH AND THE DELAYED ACCELERATION MAKES IT FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE WILL CAN STOP AT ANYTIME WHILE IN MOTION. I DON'T THINK THE TRANSMISSION UPDATE THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOES IS A SOLUTION TO THIS ONGOING PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HASN'T CORRECTED THE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE.

YOU CAN FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WILL BARELY GET TO 40 MPH. LAST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY PERFORMED FLASHES (3 WEEKS AGO) AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHILE PULLING OUT OF A BUSY SHOPPING CENTER AND THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND HAD TO LIMP IT HOME TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISES THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS HOWEVER THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS MAKE\MODEL\YEAR HAVING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DOING 80 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO 40 MPH NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION.

REMEDY: THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) MUST BE REPROGRAMMED WITH NEW SOFTWARE. THE NEW SOFTWARE STRATEGY WILL ELIMINATE THE TRANSAXLE SHIFT-TO-NEUTRAL CONDITION FOR THIS ISSUE, PLACE THE TRANSAXLE IN A FIXED GEAR LIMP MODE AND ILLUMINATE THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) IF A HIGH RESISTANCE CIRCUIT IS DETECTED IN THE TRANSAXLE WIRE HARNESS. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THREE TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR (10/26/15, 1/1/2016, 10/17/2016), MY CHEROKEE HAS LOST ALL SPEED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60MPH. THE DASH LIGHTS START FLASHING INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE, PARK IMMEDIATELY TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER WORKS AND THE CAR LOSES ALL SPEED IN 4-5 SECONDS. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO CUT ACROSS ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PARK ON THE SHOULDER. THE ENGINE NEVER TURNS OFF, BUT WHEN I TRY TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, EVEN FLOORING IT, THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. THE DEALER HAS "REWIRED" THE WIRING HARNESS AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE TWICE. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY UNSAFE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKING ME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

TAKATA RECALL CAR BUCKING WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR. ALSO THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL OR GOING OVER BUMPS. IT GOT SO BAD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRE WAS GOING TO FALL OFF OR THE UNDERNEATH OF MY CAR. ALSO MY CAR WAS SHAKING WHEN IT WOULD HIT A BUMP. THERE WAS ALSO A WHINING NOISE THAT WOULD OCCUR WHEN I TURNED MY WHEEL EITHER WAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW, EVERYTIME I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT MY "CAR WAS FINE" WAS NOT UNTIL I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BALL JOINT. THIS WOULD OCCUR WHILE THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR SIDE ROADS, AS LONG AS THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. ALSO MY CAR WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN SHIFTING. THE CAR BUCKED ON MY ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS GOING 65 THE CAR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND I GOT WARNING LIGHTS STATING TO PUT CAR INTO DESIRED GEAR, CHECK OIL AND TRANSMISSION.

THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN I PUSH THE CRUISE CONTROL CANCEL BUTTON. WHEN I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND GOING 65MPH, (ON A HIGHWAY) OR SO, IN A HIGH ELEVATION AND WANT THE CRUISE OFF, I PRESS THE BRAKE, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE. IF I PRESS THE CRUISE CONTROL "CANCEL" BUTTON, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE. I CAN TELL BECAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH IS STILL LIT. WHAT DOES TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS PRESSING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON THAT I PUSH TO ENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL, I MUST PRESS THE CRUISE CONTROL "ON" BUTTON. SHOULDN'T PRESSING THE BRAKE OR THE CRUISE CONTROL CANCEL BUTTON TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL ALL THE TIME? I HAVE PLACED ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SUBJECT BEFORE WITH YOU, BUT BEFORE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. NOW I HAVE FOUND THAT I MUST PRESS THE BUTTON THAT ALSO TURNS IT ON TO TURN IT OFF.

ON SUNDAY ON MAY 22, 2016, I DROVE MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE ON INTERSTATE 275 FROM THE MONTGOMERY ROAD EXIT TO THE FIVE-MILE ROAD EXIT. I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE. I USED THE CRUISE CONTROL DURING THIS TRAVEL. I ORIGINALLY SET THE SPEED FOR 70 MILES PER HOUR. AT ONE POINT, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE A CAR PULLED INTO THE LANE IN FRONT OF ME AND THE STEP DOWN OF FEATURE OF THE SPEED CONTROL WORKED AS EXPECTED. WHEN I EXITED FROM I-275 TO FIVE-MILE, I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT WAS UNABLE TO SLOW MY CAR. I CONTINUED TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE CAR'S SPEED WAS NOT BEING REDUCED AND I REALIZED THAT I WOULD BE CROSSING INTO THE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO STOP. SHORTLY BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION, I HONKED THE HORN OF MY CAR. MY CAR CONTINUED ACROSS ALL FOUR LANES OF FIVE-MILE ROAD AND ONTO THE ON-RAMP FROM FIVE MILE TO INTERSTATE 275. THERE IT STOPPED. I DO NOT REMEMBER PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL . THE CAR DID NOT IMPACT OR TOUCH ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER PROPERTY. IT CAME TO A STOP ON THE ONRAMP. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT THEN CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE AND THE BRAKES WORKED. I DROVE MY CAR VERY SLOWLY AND PARKED IT IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE SHOPPING CENTER AT THE INTERSECTION OF FIVE-MILE AND BEECHMONT AVENUE. FROM THERE, I HAD THE CAR TOWED FROM THE PARKING LOT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, KINGS CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP, INC. AT KINGS AUTO MALL. A REPORT REFERENCED BY NTSA ID NO. 10861030 DESCRIBES A SIMILAR INCIDENT INVOLVING THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. SO FAR, THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM DISCERNABLE FROM THE COMPUTER CODES OR FAULT INDICATIONS.

I HAVE BEEN OFFERED A 5% DISCOUNT ON A JEEP TRADE IN BY THE JEEP RESOLUTION DEPARTMENT, BUT AT THIS POINT, NOT SURE IF ITS WORTH BUYING ANOTHER JEEP. I AM AFRAID OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MECHANICS, CANT FIND WHAT WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THEY ALSO TEST DROVE THE CAR, DRIVING AROUND THE DEALERSHIP, ON SIDE STREETS, BUT NOT IN TRAFFIC, OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I AM FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT, JEPP KNOWS THESE ARE ISSUES WITH MANY OF THERE ENGINES, AND FAIL TO TRULY HEAR THE CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS, TO THE POINT OF TAKING THESE COMPLAINTS MORE SERIOUSLY. THE RESOLUTION OFFERED ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO FIX THE ISSUE, AS I FEEL I WOULD TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN AND THEY WILL TURN AROUND AND SELL IT AGAIN.... NOT SAFE AT ALL. !

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY WHILE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THERE IS A DELAY BETWEEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE RESPONDING. UPON VEHICULAR RESPONSE THE ENGINE WILL REV EXTREEMLY HIGH, THEN RESUME REGULAR OPERATION. THIS HAS OCCURED ON EVERY ROAD IN EVERY CONDITION. THE AFORMENTIONED PROBLEM HAS PUT MY VEHICLE AT HIGH RISK OF COLLISION ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS INCLUDES PULLING OUT OF A PARKINGLOT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. WHEN THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE TO PULL OUT AND ACCELERATE QUICKLY, THE VEHICLE CRAWLS OUT OF THE LOT, A SECOND GOES BY,THEN THE VEHICLE REVS UP INTO THE 5500-6000RPM. PASSING A VEHICLE ON A ONE LANE HIGHWAY ALSO PRESENTS PROBLEMS. PULLING OUT INTO THE ONCOMING LANE, DEPRESSING THE PEDAL, AND NOT ACCELERATING RIGHT AWAY PUTS THE OPERATOR AT RISK FOR A HEAD ON COLLISION. DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS NO FAULT AND IT OPERATES NORMALLY WHEN RUNNING THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. THERE IS A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM, AND I HOPE IT CAN BE RECTIFIED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE DATE ENTERED IN THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" SECTION IS THE ROUGH DATE THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN MY VEHICLE.

WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, AT 70 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HWY AT HIGHER ELEVATION, THE RPM'S WERE NEAR 4,000. I PUT ON THE BRAKES AS THE SPEED WAS GOING FASTER THAN I WANTED. PUTTING ON THE BRAKES DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, SO THE RPM'S STAYED NEAR 4,000. THE ONLY WAY TO SLOW DOWN WAS TO PRESS THE CANCEL BUTTON FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES ON DIFFERENT TRIPS IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THAT WERE ALL HIGH IN ELEVATION: 1500 FEET +. I HAVE TOLD THIS INFORMATION TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, NEW, IN 2014. THIS JUST HAPPENED AGAIN 4-20-16 IN SOUTHERN OREGON. NORMALLY, PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL CANCELS THE CRUISE CONTROL.

FIRST - VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO PARK AND I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF. WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE DEALER. SECOND - WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE VEHICLE GAVE 5-6 BEEPS AND INFORMATION PANEL SAID, "RESTART VEHICLE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION." THE CAR STOPPED MOVING FORWARD WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. SHIFTING INTO PARK (TO RESTART THE VEHICLE) THE CAR VIBRATED AND JUMPED. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WAS ON, MESSAGE SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON, AND THE D(RIVE) LIGHT WAS BLINKING. THIRD - ALL OF THE ABOVE AGAIN, EXCEPT EVERYONE ON THE EXPRESSWAY WAS MOVING AT 65-70 MILES PER HOUR, AND MY CAR STOPPED IN THE THIRD LANE.

WHEN CRUISING DOWN A HILL WITHOUT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, SUV WILL SHIFT GEARS MANY DIFFERENT TIMES CAUSING THE JEEP TO LURCH FORWARD QUICKLY WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN TRYING TO PASS A CAR ON THE HWY, IT TAKES JEEP A FEW SECONDS TO "CATCH" THE GEAR AND MAKE IT GO FASTER. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES OF OTHER CARS HITTING ME AND ME, HITTING OTHERS DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF SPEEDS AND JERKING FORWARD. I HAVE HAD THE SUV IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR "SOFTWARE UPDATES" AND TOLD THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. MOST RECENT NEAR MISS WAS YESTERDAY 29 DEC DUE TO DOWNSHIFTING WILE MOVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND CAUSING THE SUV TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. *JS

AT FIRST, WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL JUST DROP OUT AND NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE FORWARD. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN GOING ANYWHERE FROM 25 MPH TO 78 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT, AND THEY SEEMED TO FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER IN ANOTHER STATE, AND THEY WERE STILL UNSUCCESSFUL WITH FINDING OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT ANY OTHER VEHICLES OR ROAD OBSTRUCTIONS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH. ONE OF THE TIMES THIS HAPPENED MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH AND THERE WAS A VEHICLE FOLLOWING BEHIND HER AND THEY IN TURN HAD TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES ON TO AVOID HITTING HER. OF COURSE THIS ENRAGED THE DRIVER BEHIND HER THINKING THAT SHE WAS INTENTIONALLY SLAMMING ON HER BRAKES. ANOTHER TIME MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM SLAMMED THE BRAKES ON HARD ENOUGH TO ENGAGE THE ABS SYSTEM. THANK GOD THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS OR SEMI'S BEHIND HER OR SLICK ROADS AS THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. THE TWO OTHER TIMES WERE THE SAME, THE CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATING FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS READY FOR PICK UP ON 11-13-2015. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DEALER I SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HADN'T BEEN LOOKED AT BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ON THE LIST OF REPAIRS, WHEN ACTUALLY THIS IS WHY THE APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE WAS SET. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE VEHICLE AND BRING IT BACK ON 11-23-2015. I REFUSED TAKING THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE. AFTER ARGUING, THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE. WE WERE NOTIFIED AGAIN ON 11-19-2015 THAT THE VEHICLE WAS READY FOR PICK UP, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SYMPTOMS WITH THE CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. ON 11-20-2015 I WENT TO THE DEALER AND AGAIN REFUSED THE PICK UP OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND IS SAFE FOR MY WIFE TO OPERATE.

I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO GET TO SAFETY. THE CAR'S SPEED DROPPED DRAMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING, EVEN WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS. AT LEAST TWO TRACTOR-TRAILERS JUST MISSED HITTING ME. I NARROWLY MANAGED TO GET TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ON FRIDAY, JULY 31, 2015, EXECUTIVE JEEP REASSURED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN ABOUT IT BEING SAFE; THE SERVICE ADVISOR RE-ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2015, JUST 7 DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE FAILED ME, I WAS EN ROUTE TO WORK ON 91-N I WAS TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE LANE SURROUNDED BY MULTIPLE VEHICLES. AGAIN, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES WHILE TRYING TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR'S SPEED DROPPED DRAMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING, EVEN WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN ONE WEEK, THE VEHICLE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER AND I NARROWLY MANAGED TO GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. CHRYSLER INSISTS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS THE THIRD JEEP CHEROKEE IN CONNECTICUT THAT I AM PERSONALLY AWARE OF THAT HAS THE SAME DEFECT; THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS HAD RANDOM MOMENTS OF ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND WHEN I HAVE REPORTED IT TO JEEP ARLINGTON THEY WOULD SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. SINCE THEN, MY CAR HAS HAD 3 OTHER SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE IT HAS LOCKED UP AND/OR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND HAVING TO GET IT TOWED TO JEEP; ALL REPORTEDLY BY JEEP HAVING TO DO WITH MY TRANSMISSION. ONE OF THOSE TIMES OCCURRED AGAIN ON A BUSY STATE ROAD DURING 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC AND AN OFFICER HAD TO STAY BEHIND ME UNTIL A TOW COMPANY CAME.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN SLOWING DOWN BU NOT A COMPLETE STOP, JEEP DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT LOWER THAN 3RD GEAR UNLESS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS JEEP INCHES FORWARD AT A SLOW RATE AND SUDDENLY WHEN ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED FURTHER IT SHIFTS HARD AND ACCELERATES RAPIDLY. SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON RIGHT TURNS. UNLESS VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP IT WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT LOWER THAN 3RD GEAR. THIS RESULTS IN LESS POWER WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. JEEP HAS UPDATED SOFTWARE 3 TIMES. CONDITION HAS NOT CHANGED.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR WOULD NOT THEN SHIFT TO ANY GEAR. AFTER CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE CAR WOULD JUMP FROM PARK TO DRIVE. LITERALLY JUMP. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME (A FEW BLOCKS) WITH MY HAZARDS ON PRAYING ALL THE WAY. I CALLED HUNTINGTON BEACH JEEP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. THEY TOWED THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE FIXED. I TRIED TO UPGRADE OUT OF THE SHOTTY CHEROKEE TO A GRAND CHEROKEE FOR SAFETY REASONS BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT FORGIVE THE NEGATIVE EQUITY IN THE CAR AS WE'VE HAD IT FOR A YEAR. HE INSISTED WE PUT MORE MONEY DOWN AND HAVE A CAR PAYMENT OF $600-700 DOLLARS. WE REFUSED. WE FEEL JEEP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY BUT ONLY THE NUMBER OF CARS THEY SELL EACH MONTH WHICH IS A SAME. THANK GOD WE DIDN'T HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT AS THEY MY FAMILY WOULD BE PLANNING A FUNERAL. MAYBE THAT IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE.

WOULD NOT TAKE OFF WHEN YOU PRESSED GAS PEDAL AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS IT LUNGE AND BEGAN MOVING , DRIVING IN TRAFFIC PRESSED THE BRAKE AND IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN INSTEAD IT SPEED UP AFTER PRESSING BREAK HARDER IT SLOWED. FEW DAYS LATER IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT SOUNDED LIKE IT IN FIRST GEAR.THEY ONCE AGAIN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND UPDATED THE SOFT WARE . IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SHOCKS ARE BAD BUT THEY DIDN'T ADDRESS THIS ISSUE EITHER. IT RIDES AND FEELS LIKE IT SWAYS ALL OVER THE ROAD. THIS JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2014 .

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SAME ISSUE 4 TIMES. THE INFORMATION REFLECTED INDICATES THE FIRST TIME THAT WE BROUGHT THE CARE IN.

AFTER VEHICLE REPROGRAMMED AND RETURNED TO CUSTOMER IT WAS BEING DRIVEN ON FREEWAY AT NORMAL SPEEDS WHEN THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, TOLD DRIVER TO PULL OVER AND THE VEHICLE LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE COASTED TO SIDE OF FREEWAY AND WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHO ATTEMPTED TO FIX VEHICLE. VEHICLE RETURNED TO CUSTOMER, A SHORT TIME LATER VEHICLE HAD SAME ISSUE ON FREEWAY. AGAIN TOWED TO DEALER WHO AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR VEHICLE AND REPLACED TRANSMISSION. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN VEHICLE EXHIBITED SAME EXACT BEHAVIOR. WAS TOWED TO DEALER AWAITING RESOLUTION OF ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. REVIEW OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS ON THIS WEBSITE AS WELL AS OTHER WEBSITES INDICATES THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT TENDS TO OCCUR AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED WHEN A COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH THOSE DRIVING THE AFFECTED VEHICLE AND THOSE ON THE ROAD. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE LEFT LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN I LOST MY FORWARD DRIVE GEAR, MY VEHICLE RAPIDLY SLOWED CAUSING VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO BREAK. MY DISPLAY WAS TELLING ME TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. MY GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR WAS FLASHING RAPIDLY BETWEEN DRIVE AND NATURAL. I TRIED TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE THEN THE SHOULDER AS OTHER VEHICLES AVOIDED ME. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I GOT TO THE SHOULDER, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED. I WAS THEN ABLE TO PROCEED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE SERVICE MANAGER RAN A QUICK CHECK AND SAID THE VEHICLE RECORDED OVER 20 FAULTS AT THE SAME TIME WHICH RANGED FROM DISENGAGING THE ANTI LOCK BREAKS TO DISABLING MY FORWARD DRIVE. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. HE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME THE SAME EVENING BECAUSE HE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, BUT SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE OF SOME TYPE. I CONTACTED JEEP CASE # 26113535. ALTHOUGH THEY ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE THEY ULTIMATELY CLOSED THE CASE BECAUSE ONCE THE DEALER INITIALLY CLEARED THE FAULTS THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I CONTACTED JEEP REFERENCE NUMBER 26160146 AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT THEY HAD CLOSED THE CASE CLAIMING THAT I HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD TALKED TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD THEM HE COULD NOT DO IT. JEEP WANTS ME TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IF I HAVE TO WAIT THE UNTIL NEXT TIME MY VEHICLE LOOSES ALL FORWARD DRIVE AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION THERE MAY BE A FATALITY OR MAJOR ACCIDENT DEPENDING ON WHERE, TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND WEATHER CONDITIONS IT HAPPENS.THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH JEEP IS CHOOSING TO IGNORE.. *JS

SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR THERE HAVE BEEN ONGOING LURCHING AND ROLLBACK ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WILL LURCH EVEN AT A FULL STOP GIVING THE FEELING YOU ARE ABOUT TO CRASH INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF YOU. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. REPEATEDLY TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP - WESTBURY JEEP, NY FROM DAY 1. INITIALLY THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS NO SUCH ISSUE. ON A CONSECUTIVE VISIT, THEY ADDRESSED PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT THEY SAID WAS KNOWN TO CORRECT THE PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN AS FREQUENTLY BUT DOES STILL OCCUR. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND SINCE YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING IT, CAN PUT YOU IN PANIC MODE WHILE DRIVING AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID A FEELING OF BEING OUT OF CONTROL AND COLLIDING INTO THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF YOU. THE CAR ALSO ROLLS BACK ON OCCASION. BOTH ISSUES ARE CONSIDERED UNSAFE AND HAPHAZARD. I WILL NOT PUT YOUNG CHILDREN IN THIS CAR DUE TO FEAR OF THEIR SAFETY. THESE ARE STILL ISSUES FROM DAY 1, NOW 8 MONTHS INTO OWNERSHIP WITH REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GET ALL PROBLEMS RESOLVED (AMONG OTHER ISSUES) AFTER REPORTING TO JEEP AND THE DEALERSHIP - AND NOT GETTING ANY RESPONSE - I'VE ASKED REPEATEDLY FOR THEM TO TAKE BACK THE CAR AND ISSUE AN REFUND THEIR RESPONSE HAS BEEN TO STOP ALL COMMUNICATIONS AND CLOSE MY CASE.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BACK MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE 4X2 INTO A PARKING SPACE BETWEEN 2 PARKED CARS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF A ONE WAY STREET, THE CAR SLID TO THE LEFT SLAMMING THE LEFT REAR QUARTER OF MY CAR INTO THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE PARKED CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BACK UP INTO A SPACE ON A SLIGHTLY INCLINED STREET. I HAD TO APPLY SOME EXTRA POWER TO MY JEEP. HOWEVER IT WENT SIDEWAYS INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE PARKING SPOT. I THOUGHT I DID NOT PLAN THE MANEUVER CORRECTLY BUT WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT MY REAR LEFT TIRE LOST TRACTION TO THE ROAD WHICH MADE THE CAR TRAVEL SIDEWAYS INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT. I HAD REPORTED SOME RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRES EARLIER IN THE WEEK AND SOME MINOR PLY IN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE DEALER. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE RUBBING NOISE AND REPORTED FIXING THE STEERING WHEEL. I PICKED UP THE CAR ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT PROBLEMS WERE STILL THE SAME. I AM GUESSING THAT THERE IS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE ESC THAT MADE THE CAR PERFORM IN THAT FLAWED MANNER. THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THAT HIT AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL NOW MORE CROCKED. AND THE REAR LEFT WHEEL LOOKS LIKE BENT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY BUT THEY WOULD NOT CONSIDER LOOKING AT IT UNTIL THE ACCIDENT IS FIXED. SO NOW IT IS IN THE SHOP. *TR

THE FREEWAY AT THIS PORTION IS A DOWNGRADE SO VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST DOWNHILL. I ACCELERATED AGAIN AND VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE.

I DRIVE A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH STANDARD CRUISE CONTROL WHICH THEY REFER TO AS ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL OR ESC. THE CAR MANUAL STATES THAT ONCE THE CRUISING SPEED IS SET, IT CAN BE REDUCED IN 1 MPH INCREMENTS BY PRESSING THE "SET -" BUTTON. IT DOESN'T INDICATE THAT PRESSING THAT BUTTON COULD RESULT IN MORE RAPID DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE OR THAT IT MIGHT ACTUALLY CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO APPLY THE BRAKES. ON OTHER VEHICLES I'VE OWNED, PRESSING AND HOLDING THE "SET -" BUTTON SIMPLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO BACK DOWN AND THE VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY COASTS UNTIL THE BUTTON IS RELEASED AT A NEW, LOWER SET CRUISING SPEED. HOWEVER, ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS WHILE USING ESC I HAVE HELD THE "SET -" DOWN HOPING TO DECREASE SPEED BY A FEW MILES AN HOUR. WHAT HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THOSE INSTANCES IS THAT AFTER A SECOND OR SO, THE VEHICLE BEGINS RAPIDLY DECELERATING AND IT APPEARS THE BRAKES ARE ACTIVATED BY THE SYSTEM. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THAT COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS OUTCOME IF THE DRIVER DOESN'T KNOW IT'S COMING AND THERE IS OTHER TRAFFIC FOLLOWING BEHIND. I'M FORTUNATE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC FOLLOWING ME ON THE OCCASIONS ON WHICH THIS OCCURRED. I WENT BACK AND REREAD THE MANUAL ON THE USE OF ESC AND SAW NO REFERENCE TO RAPID DECELERATION OR BRAKE APPLICATIONS IN THIS SCENARIO. I THEN E-MAILED CHRYSLER ABOUT IT, AND FINALLY RECEIVED A RESPONSE TELLING ME THAT WHEN USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ("ACC") SYSTEM, HLDING DOWN THE "SET -" BUTTON WILL RESULT IN DECELERATION IN INCREMENTS OF 5 MPH, THOUGH IT DOESN'T REFER TO APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES BY THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, I DON'T USE THE ACC SYSTEM WHICH IS ACTIVATED BY A SEPARATE BUTTON. EITHER I HAVE A MALFUNCTION OF THE ESC SYSTEM OR CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF SAFETY INFORMATION AS TO THE FUNCTION OF THE ESC FEATURE IN THE MANUAL, AND I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T GET ME INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LTD. IN 10/2013 FOR MY DAUGHTER TO LEARN TO DRIVE (WITH LEARNER'S PERMIT) AND TO DRIVE WHEN SHE GETS HER LICENSE SOON. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN MARCH ON I-10 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TIME WHEN SUV MADE A WHINING NOISE, GEARS STALLED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, RPM'S DROPPED. SUV CONTINUED TO DO THIS AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 7000 MILES, SO I BROUGHT SUV TO SELLING DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY GUESSED AND UPDATED SOFTWARE, THEN CLOSED THE SERVICE ORDER. AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP, SUV PERFORMED 5 INTERMITTENT AND SIMILAR EPISODES ON THE WAY TO DESTINATION THAT WAS ABOUT 7 MILES AWAY. I RETURNED SUV TO THE SAME SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE NEXT DAY AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO CHRYLSER AND JEEP CUSTOMER CARE (JCC). JCC CONTACTED THE DEALER. A DECISION WAS MADE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION TO BE SENT TO JEEP ENGINEERS TO DISSECT AND DETERMINE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. A NEW TRANSMISSION EXACT TO THE OLD, ONLY WITH 'UPDATES' WAS PLACED IN THE SUV. SINCE THESE SERIES OF EVENTS HAVE OCCURRED, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE JEEP CHEROKEE HAD 4 HOLDS ON RELEASING THE SUV DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH 9 GEAR FIAT TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT OURS WAS THE 2ND SUCH CASE SEEN IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ULTIMATELY, JCC OFFERED MORE WARRANTY AND THE ABILITY TO SKIP ONE PAYMENT OF WHICH I DID NOT ACCEPT. THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE OFFER WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR THE ENGINEERS TO TELL ME THAT THE SUV IS SAFE FOR THEIR OWN NEW TEEN DRIVER OR TO TAKE THE SUV BACK, TO NO AVAIL. JCC SENT THE CASE TO THE 'CASE ANALYST' TEAM, BUT ULTIMATELY CLOSED THE CASE AS RESOLVED. I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT MY DAUGHTER DRIVING THE SUV ONCE SHE OBTAINS HER LICENSE. I ALSO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT HER YOUNGER BROTHERS RIDING IN AN SUV THAT MAY PERFORM UNSAFELY AND UNPREDICTABLY. *JS
