2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Engine Problems

The car has been suddenly lurching backward and forward in traffic/ while driving, moving forward and backwards unexpectantly and not accelerating at an expected rate, causing other vehicles almost to hit me about 4 times within 1 week starting last week around 12/8/25, because my vehicle is not moving at the expected rate during yielding, changing lanes, etc. I took it to the shop and reported this issue, and they informed me that this vehicle has serious oil leaks and multiple parts that have failed involving the oil filter housing, engine valve cover, engine intake manifold gasket, etc. I have attached a list of parts that have failed in this vehicle from the repair shop for your records and can make available the parts upon request. My repair shop has told me that they have had to repair MULTIPLE other cars of this make and model for the same reason/ failed parts across multiple years up to until about 2021, but that the company repaired it on more current models, which clearly indicates that this is a KNOWN issue for prior models. This company has an obligation to protect its customers and conduct a full recall on prior models to correct this issue, in order to prevent serious injury or death of the public! I trust you will investigate this matter thoroughly.

My Jeep is disabled due to a drivetrain failure covered under Jeep’s XJ1 Warranty Extension. The required part is on extended backorder (weeks) and Jeep is unable to provide a remedy or transportation while the vehicle is inoperable. This results in a safety hazard and unreasonable delay of repair. Power Transfer Unit (PTU) failure under warranty extension XJ1. Vehicle is disabled and cannot be safely driven. Jeep is unable to provide the part required for repair, resulting in an unreasonable delay of remedy.

4wd overheating. Owned this Jeep for 8 years and had it in multiple (5x plus) times for service 4wd code. 2 different dealerships cannot fix the issue. Now they are telling me just drive it and not worry about it or trade it in. It smells hot and something burning. I have the life time max care warranty on it. The codes I get are the 4wd is unavailable overheated and service 4wd. They have replaced multiple parts and still not working. I will be just sitting idle and it comes on.

Check engine light on 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport turned on, vehicle "went limp". Pulled over, turned car off, waited, turned car back on. Happened again taking car to dealership. The dealership said "code for trans range sensor p1726. reset trans and test drove. code did not come back". Same thing happened again a week later. Took it to Firestone, code was "TCM P1726-00 Transmission Manage Sensor "C" circuit High. They said it sounded like the Recall Number 16V529000/S55. I took it back to the dealership, they said the recall, despite being for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee didn't apply and noted "Same code P1726 set in TCM. Going to need range sensor and TCM replaced."

The vehicle suddenly started showing parking brake, traction, ABS, and check engine lights after being started. Earlier in the day, I had also started the vehicle but cancelled the errands and returned to start it later when the dashboard and warning lights came on. Putting it in reverse, the steering was stiff as if in neutral. Never left the driveway as I wasn't taking a chance in steering or braking. The battery is less than a year old. This is the second time this has happened.

Since acquiring my vehicle, I have had to replace the flex pipe three times. I have experienced recurrent issues with the exhaust system, requiring multiple repairs to address the same problem, which has resulted in ongoing frustration and inconvenience.

Electrical system/Transmission malfunctioned causing engine to shift into neutral while driving and cause engine to shut down and refuse to start again. The issue seems to only happen whenever the engine is up to temperature and the fan is active. The vehicle has been inspected by a dealership and they said the throttle body was the issue, after replacement the issue still persists. There is no warning lights or symptoms. It will happen either at rest or in motion. I was driving yesterday and it happened after I had completed a lane change and was almost hit by a semi. This is not the first instance of it occurring.

This vehicle is not safe to drive because it doesn't brake, it takes several seconds to reduce speed after hitting the brakes, and at high speeds it takes longer, which can put anyone's life at risk. The engine is damaged, it releases smoke and is leaking oil, and it heats up when you're moving on the freeway, which can be dangerous. The car loses power while moving. They told me that it was in perfect condition, which they lied to me, putting the lives of many people at risk. The second day after I took it out of the dealership, I realized that the engine was damaged. It started to smoke and lose power. On the road, I almost had an accident because the car didn't brake well. They sold it to me like that. They didn't want to give me the carfax and it hasn't been inspected. They told me that it was in perfect condition, which they lied to me, putting the lives of many people at risk. The second day after I took it out of the dealership, I realized that the engine was damaged. It started to smoke and lose power. On the road, I almost had an accident because the car didn't brake well. They sold it to me like that. They didn't want to give me the carfax I took it to a workshop that they had and the car continued to have the same problems. I would like provide you the video I have it’s the test the engine of the car it’s in really bad condition releasing smoke Please observe the black part of the engine cover. The upper part, if you look closely, you can see the smoke coming out. It is a less visible photo. It has the problem

Water intrusion, causing damage to my electric parking brake module. Parking brake and engaged while vehicle was in motion.

Ptu went out they replaced it it was still not working and they said oh well now ptu is still out and it rolls in park won’t shift when pulling out and is very scary to have my kids in this death trap

My vehicle - at random - will switch to traction control, 4x4, and will slow down while driving, and will not allow me to go above 45 mph, with the engine rpm’s revved as high as if I’m driving 85 mph. No mechanic has been able to accurately diagnose it, and I continue to pay for different repairs, without getting the problem actually solved.

All Recalls for 2015 jeep Cherokee 2.4 wasn’t done properly and caused more damage. Transaxle harness, pscm, maniverter and more caused engine damage to block, which was supposed to be replaced during recall for oil consumption. Now dealer is wanting to charge me for damages pertaining to recalls and new engine block that wasn’t replaced during xb1 and x80 recall warranty. I was almost hit on highway from vehicle stalling out at highspeed and maniverter turning red from 20 minutes of driving from picking up from dealer after u90 recall was supposedly fixed. Constant dash notifications of throttle and shifter as well. I’ve already contacted legal advice and I just want my vehicle running properly, new vehicle or compensation. Everything on this vehicle needs replaced dealing with faulty pcm tcm bcm ecu pscm all harnesses practically entire vehicle.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the 4WD Service light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the PTU, timing cover, and the head gasket were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (POWER TRAIN) as the possible cause for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

Mileage: 69,000

I was driving down the highway and my car just shut off and came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. It happened twice. Both times the emergency brake light came on but at no time was the emergency brake engaged by me. I was lucky that I wasn’t on a busy road and the care behind me had time to react or it could have been fatal. After trying to restart the car it took some tinkering with the ebrake and after a slight hesitation of the engine, it started. That happened twice in one day and once on another. This is a huge issue that can cause loss of life.

Good morning. I am contacting you in regards to my 2015 Jeep Cherokee. In summary, I am having issues with the transmission and upon further investigation I believe the issue is identical/related to recall campaign 16V529000. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle and would very much appreciate the issue be investigated. Thank you

There is an active cylinder 2 misfire recall on 2015 jeep Cherokee. Our vehicle has been in the shop for about 3 days now. And the cylinder 2 misfire is still happening. We would like our vin looked into. To be added to the recall. The misfire appears to be happening in idle.

Been waiting for a recall to be fixed, the dealership notified me after the paperwork was signed and I brought in the diagnosis. DMV said 5/16/2022 catalyst efficiency recall, catalyst converter

I have a recall on the vehicle, I purchased may2024. Was never told about the recall until I took the vehicle to someone else and then told the company I purchased it from. Catalyst efficiency. I was also given a letter from the DMV.

PTU completely bad...just purchased the vehicle and it went bad less than a month after

Over several years Jeep has repeatedly stalled without warning. This safety concern has been addressed at both the dealership where the vehicle was purchased and an independent car repair facility. Regardless of the repairs done, the same stalling issue has continued.

Vehicle alerts to ‘service parking brake’ and engages parking parking brake without warning. Shifter has gotten stuck in N, unable to shift out for some time. Shifting in secondary incident resulted in a clunking when shifted to Drive as well as vehicle deceleration after driving for one minute. Safety is affected for all as the vehicle coasts to a stop in traffic. Towing to repair shop required twice, where no issue was found by service technicians either time.

We own and lease mostly Chrysler /Jeep products in our family. We currently have a Wrangler, Pacifica, Jeep Cherokee. Our 2015 Jeep Cherokee has shut down completely while driving 4 times. The first time this happened was a year ago and we thought it was a fluke. Recently it has happened 3 times so there is clearly an issue with this 2015 Jeep Cherokee and it is unsafe to drive until this matter is completely fixed or the car is replaced. We are fortunate that an accident did not occur during any of these times however the last incident came very close. Very frightening !! The vehicle is currently at Rockland Jeep Dealer and I am attaching the estimate we received which is over 5,000.00. We have replaced the battery, changed the oil and have been without this vehicle for almost 2 months. We are hoping that Chrysler will pick up this expense since there were many recalls regarding this matter.

I've been waiting for months to fix the latest recall as part of the 'park outside' campaign, of which we received notice several months ago. This vehicle should never have been sold due to the 11 recalls it's had. I want out of this vehicle and loan. Please advise.

1. The Motor Mounts, Esim, Struts, and Transmission, it is available for inspection 2. When driving, it "kicks" when switching gears, at redlights, it will tell me to put the vehicle in park, I have to stay at the light, put it in park, then in drive. Sometimes I will have to restart the vehicle 3. Confirmed by Automotive shop, information available upon request 4. Inspected by automotive shop 5. No warning lamps, just the check engine light and gas cap light when the problems started. This has been ongoing for months. Over $1000 worth of repairs that need to be completed

Our 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is being recalled for transmission and power lift gate. These parts cannot be fixed because the parts are not avaiable. Also they updated the navigation and UCONNECT and vehicles 2015-2018 are not eligible for the update. They changed from 3G to 4G. And our Jeep is not qualified. We went to another car dealer and were told because of the recalls which they have many on their lot, we were offered only 7000 dollars for trade. Because of the recalls, we need to get another vehicle.

Second time dealing with misfire on #6 cylinder. Coil failed causing sparkplug to be comprised.

Oil cooler cracked Dec 2022. Oil cooler cracked again Nov 2023. I heard this is an ongoing issue and should be a recall with people having to replace it every single year! Could become a safety issue as it blows spoke all over the place.

While driving onto the interstate I was accelerating on the on-ramp when the vehicle suddenly lost the ability to shift gears, while every service indicator light on the dash came on. I pulled over to check on the vehicle. I did restart and it seemed ok. Once starting to get back onto the interstate it stopped shifting gears at 3rd gear, and would also not downshift. This was an issue as I could only reach a speed of about 35-40 MPH. This continued for hours while getting to my destination. At certain points it would not shift out of first gear. This was not a safe environment to be in. I called the dealer and took it for servicing. Dealer stated the oil cooler stopped working, and in doing so leaked oil all throughout the engine. I ended up replacing the thermostat, radiator, and the oil cooler due to the issue. The Jeep was in the shop for 15 days while they were replacing parts and trying to flush out the oil in areas there shouldn’t be any oil. They told me I would always have a slim amount of oil in engine due to not being able to flush completely. $5000 later, everything seems to be ok now.

On August 11th, 2023, at approximately 12:50 pm, I drove my 2015 Jeep Cherokee into my houses’ garage and parked. I went inside my house to meet an air conditioning repairman. No sooner than a minute or two had passed that I immediately heard noises coming from my garage.The noises sounded like mechanical in nature. It almost sounded like a washing machine agitating. I opened my side door of the garage and saw a plum of grey smoke billowing from the engine’s hood. Then I saw what looked like sparks and very small flames coming from underneath the front engine. Within a split second, I got into my car and turned on the ignition. I saw no lights on the dashboard indicating that I had a problem. I proceeded to pull the car out of the driveway (the garage door was already up) and exited the car as quickly as I could. Within seconds the flame grew larger. I then called 911 while waiting on the front lawn. I had 2 dogs inside the that I considered were safe. The police came first and then two fire trucks. By that point, the Jeep was completed engulfed in flames including the tires.The fire started in the front of the vehicle and worked its way back. The firemen distinguished the fire which took about 30 minutes from beginning to end. The heat from the fire melted the siding over my two car garage (garage is attached to the house) as well as the siding to right hand side of the home. Glass and debris began to catch fire and pop and spit into the yard. Let me just say that I’m a breast cancer survivor still going through treatment and was at home alone at the time when this happened as my husband was out of town. I’m not in 100% back to my old shelf. I’m absolutely in shock and devastated over the loss of the car. And I’m in more shock to think what would have happened if I hadn’t had the foresight to pull the car out of the driveway. I’m simply devastated.

Last July of 2022, my first issue was an electrical notice that caused the airbag and seatbelt sensor in the vehicle to continuously go off, which took several months to get fixed through the manufacturer of my Jeep Cherokee 2015. As of 2023, I have received two recall notices, and neither of which have been resolved since April of 2023. Since those notices, my check engine light has gone off and is getting repaired this week, there's been a leak inside the vehicle of a liquid spilling into the passenger side floor mat, and also the brakes have deteriorated quickly -- they were last repaired at 77,000 miles and are again experiencing issues at 99,000 miles. There is a specific manufacturer in my area (Salt Lake Valley Chrystler Dodge Jeep RAM on State Street in Salt Lake City, UT) that has been borderline negligent and straight up rude on multiple occasions.

P306 engine light error-Cylinder #6 misfire. This has occurred twice in 20 months. The first repair was 10/6/2021 , mileage 49105. This same error code is now activated (7/22/2023)and my mechanic has indicated the same repair will likely be required. Service appointment is scheduled. Current mileage is ~62000. When this misfire occurs the start/stop system is deactivated, drivability can be impacted, fuel leakage and if unrepaired, significant engine damage could occur.

Service shifter lights up and I have had to replace it multiple times at the dealership since 10k miles. I now have almost 90k and have had this issue at least 6 times. I am annoyed and this is a major safety issue. There is a thread online WITH THOUSANDS of people reporting this issue for Jeep Cherokee. Does someone have to die first for this to be taken seriously?

Shuddering, crank shaft failure, Engine stall, car shifts into emergency brake. Loss of motive power can cause vehicle crash without warning. Vehicle not yet inspected. Similar vehicles with recall under “Safety Recall W58 / NHTSA 20V-475 Loss of Crankshaft Position”

My 2015 Jeep haslocked up on me twice now. The power brake system comes on automatic and I cannot accelerate. The first time it happened it about threw me into the windshield. This second time it jerked me forward. It has been in the dealership once to fix the problem. Now it has done it again. The warning lights come on the dash as power brake system malfunction, check engine soon, do not engage and put vehicle in park and several other warnings.

this has been going on for almost two months and there is no solution?! I have a 2 year old that sits in my back seat and you think I can have her in the vehicle when the back of my car could start fire at any time next to the freaking gas tank?!?!?!?! Take this vehicle back!!!!!!!

A couple of issues are occurring and this is all over the internet as well and I have decided to file a complaint as this vehicle should be recalled. Most recently the car shuts off while driving and need to coast into the breakdown lane. The transmission shifts very rough as well as this model in addition the engine seems to eat the oil as well. I purchased the vehicle brand new and have consistently gotten oil changes, but a year ago when I brought this vehicle in the dealer advised I had no oil, but I got oil changes every 4-5K miles. I should not need to be pouring oil into the car. This is well known issue all over the internet with this engine. What happens is the car will shut off randomly when driving as a fail sale. In addition most recently the will shut off and there is oil in the engine, but it starts jerking the engine as if it is trying to change gears and then the car loses the ability to accelerate and actually deaccelerate. I have to pull over and the car will not drive. I have to turn the car off and let it sit for a minute or two and then turn it back on. This is highly dangerous as someone can smash into the back of the car while i am driving since the car loses power. I have brought the car in numerous times to the shop over the years due to the transmission/engine failures. This engine/transmission needs to be recalled as these cars should not be on the road. Most recently I brought it back to the dealer and they advised they could not replicate the problem. It is back in the shop today as well 5/31/23 as the incident occurred again 3 days after. I have some video I can email as well.

Knocking could lead to engine freeze. Caused by faulty rocker in engine.

Car will shut down on the free way. Car will go 65 MPH and suddenly give out. The car will be on but the engine will be off. Car will turn off anywhere at any time. I bought a new PCM and issue is still occurring. Car is in great condition but won’t start properly and feel scared for my life when I have to drive it.

Oil cooler housing is leaking. As such will not pass state inspection as it's a hazard to burn therefore a safety issue. I noticed online that there is a class action suit pending and the Jeep is aware of this problem but yet it is not been recalled. It's going to cost me $900 to fix

My jeep Cherokee have a 4wd warning indication services need. It automatically shifts my power train to snow. Also when in park. The vehicle starts to go to neutral. Please recall this. My car is 2015 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk. I’ve never had an accident and this is either a system glitch or engine issue that can cause damage and injury.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was a burning oil odor inside the vehicle. After a long trip, the vehicle was parked in the garage and the contacts’ wife notice smoke coming from under the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact drove out of the garage and sprayed the vehicle with a water hose. During the incident no flames were present. The contact stated that the cause of the failure was due to a faulty oil cooler which leaked oil onto the catalytic convertor caused the burning oil odor and smoking. The contact stated that the oil cooler had been replaced on three separate occasions. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.

We own a 2015 Jeep Cherokee 2.4 L FWD vehicle. In the last 3 months, we have encountered ignition issues. We had several misfires when attempting to start the engine. We brought this to the attention of our local auto mechanic, and they were unsure of the cause. We spent over $1500 on inspections and repairs which included spark plug replacement, throttle body replacement, knock sensor replacement, ignition coils replacement and putting in a new battery. We have been to the auto shop several times because the check engine lights keeps coming on and the bills keep adding up. We now received a letter regarding the fact that our vehicle has a recall for catalyst efficiency. According to the notice there may be a loss of catalyst CO/NOx conversion efficiency resulting from the catalyst operating at high temperatures. When the catalyst temperature is elevated, there is a higher rate of misfire, and the misfire can cause immediate damage to the catalyst since it brings unburned fuel and oxygen into the catalyst. I am confident that this loss in conversion efficiency is the reason the ignition misfires in my Jeep. I have receipts and bills to prove that I have spent over $1500 in the last month on engine repairs that still haven't solved the problem. I have contacted a local JEEP service shop who has ordered the part needed for this recall. How do I receive compensation for the money I have already paid for the repairs related to this recall?

Engine Oil Filter/Oil housing is malfunctioned or defected for my model car. Malfunction is causing leakage into the engine which can result explosion or worst damage to vehicle. Warning engine light appeared on vehicle to notify of oil leaking into engine. First appeared 3 months ago. Company has redesigned particular part because of the same popular issue nationwide

I am not completely certain which of the above selected items is the cause of my vehicle malady, though I have been instructed by a mechanic that it could be the drive train maybe (I could be misremembering). At any rate, the vehicle stalls at random intervals, without advance notification of a problem. No warning light or sound is produced until the moment it stalls at which time a warning sound without accompanying light is produced. The vehicle will stall regardless of whether or not it has been pre-heated, despite the season/weather, and has stalled while I was in the midst of turning left against oncoming traffic with my SON in the car! The vehicle replicated this behavior during a mechanic’s test drive following a break line repair. He indicated it may be the above mentioned issue. All information can be provided upon request. I have researched this issue and have found it to be fairly prevalent among owners of this specific vehicle. If stalling while making a left turn against oncoming traffic (when an opportunity presents itself) does not present a significant safety hazard and/or concern then perhaps I’m more confused than I had previously thought. What happens when someone stalls on a train track or on the interstate? In addition to the afore mentioned concerns, something with electrical component is defective. It wasn’t long after the earlier mentioned complications began that my interior lights began dimming and brightening independently and my redio screen stopped listing song, program, podcast, radio station, information etc. Thank you for your consideration.

While driving, vehicle shuts off or engine dies without a warning. I have to wait about 30 seconds until it starts again. Very dangerous.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that an independent mechanic had previously replaced the rocker arm, camshaft, and coil packs; however, the failure recurred while driving at an undisclosed speed. Additionally, and the vehicle was making abnormal ticking sounds. Additionally, the headlights were inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with two bent valves in the engine. The vehicle was then taken to Stan McNabb HWY 55 Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT (1200 E Carroll St, Tullahoma, TN 37388) where the computer was replaced; however, the dealer determined that the engine also needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 102,000.

Mileage: 102,000

I was about half a mile from my job when I lost most of my engine power (my daily commute is about 9 min each way - 3 miles and a speed limit of 40). I was accelerating uphill from a red light and I reached about 15 miles an hour before I realized I did not have the power to get more speed. I pulled in and noticed white smoke billowing from my car but did not ever see a check engine light. I had a few coworkers come outside to take a look . There was still heavy white smoke. I got it towed to the garage we take our fleet trucks. My piston rings were compromised (is the theory) and it lead to a multitude of problems even though I stopped driving it within half a mile of noticing anything irregular about my car.

Crack block in Engine mileage 63k.

Sounds like a backfire. Happened 3 times in 2 days. Engine was replaced 2-20-2020@ 55,029 mi. Currently has 67713 mi

While I am driving and the kuds in car, the car completely power off calling into park before switching on. I was in a big big trouble. I checked online and found that cars 2014-2017 had a call for PTU that causes the same horrible situation that I was in. It was a nightmare. I used my car that never face any problem where I take of it and use it usually for serving my kids driving them to their school and activities. I face the problem 3 times yesterday 2 timed and thanks God while I was on the traffic light but to day is horrible while on the road.

oil leak at engine cooling system which is common on jeeps from 2014 to 2017.

The timing cover gasket is leaking oil and burning.

I keep getting a "service shifter" alarm intermittently. When this happens it kills my speedometer, and disables the different drive modes available to me. Repairs have been unable to locate the fault, nor has the dealer any good reasoning why. Alarm will go away if I pull over, shut off the car, and open the door. Upon restarting the car it usually goes away for a day or more, but it always comes back. It seems to be worse when it gets colder, and the car has been running longer.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart the vehicle.

Service shifter light is on all the time. Not sure why or what is happening. There is a notification on the dash that just says "service shifter' and all the lights are red by the gear shifter.

Car has been jerking almost immediately after buying it brand new. They supposedly "fixed" the problem but jerking has not stopped. it hesitates when trying to accelerate most times and when it shifts into gear it thrusts/jerks so hard. Vehicle has stalled on me numerous times in traffic while coming to a stop. very afraid to even drive it. It shifts into neutral while driving or turning. it completely shuts off sometimes while in traffic or turning. cars had to slam on brakes to prevent from hitting me. this happened on several occasions. had to get the motor mounds and transmissions mounds replaced. Driving down the highway changing lanes wheel felt like it locked up. getting off the interstate was very hard and scary. steering wheel would not let me turn completely. get it home after wrestling with it. turn it off, to see what the problem was thinking I need power steering. tried turning it bac on NOTHING! get it towed, needed a water pump, but found that my motor and transmission mounds needed replaced. after complaining about the jerking movement for so long dealership said it wasn't the transmission and it wasn't going to be covered under warranty. I put too much money into this what supposed to been a new car to have so many problems from the jump. why is their not a recall on this whole vehicle????? Have all these issues but no recalls but 1 has been made. or I should say campaign. all these complaints about this particular car but no remedies for it. not even when they "update" "fix" it. too may problems. this is the worst car I've had. used cars didn't give me this much trouble. I need to be reimbursed for all the problems i should not have had from a new car. and not covered under warranty at all. clearly it has transmissions issues and engine issues. just wasting my time going to get these "fixes" for it not to be fixed not once. the date below is not the first time. it's only the most recent that my car has stalled, jerked and shut down. horrible car

Purchased 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Dec 1, 2020 & Sept 2021 discovered something wrong with transmission, mechanic researched jeep & said previously there was a RECALL- TCM- transfer case reflash module, dealership/ manufacturer will not response to my calls to help with this problem.

1. My car has fully turned off while driving, on two separate occasions. The first time was a slow crawl and it shut off. The second time I was going roughly 30mph and it shut off. Both times, it shut off (including the instrument cluster, entertainment console, lights, etc.) after a couple of seconds everything came back on, but I had to put it into drive and recycle the key to get the engine to start back up. 2. When the car fully shuts off there is no way to accelerate, imagine if you pull out in front of someone and it shuts off, and you are stuck in the middle of an intersection? 3. The dealer has not been able to reproduce the issue (if you look up online, many people are having this same issue for the Jeep Cherokee). 4. No 5. No warning lamps or messages. Everything just completely shuts off and goes black.

THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT POPPED ON ONLY AFTER HAVING IT FOR 2 MONTHS.

Rocker bearings failed in the rear of the head. This impacted the right side intake camshaft. They replaced the rear intake and rear camshaft, rear and front rockers and also valve cover gaskets and upper intake seals. The only indication of a problem was a tapping sound coming from the engine. No warning lights on the console. If this had gone UN repaired the engine could have seized at any time while traveling causing an accident. The repair technician indicated that the new parts would not fail the way the original equipment failed. Chrysler has refused to pay for the repair.

Car stalls multiple times over the last month. With zero warning it died in front of my wife in ongoing traffic. Multiple error messages are on dash. Restarts when shutting car off then back on.

I have had my vehicle checked out several times over the malfunction of the stop and start system. Several times it has been worked on and looked at. Once they claimed they replaced a part under the hood in Richmond, kentucky. This issue has been going on for over two years. It had been cutting off and not starting back. Now its advanced into a jerking from a hesitation to switch between gears. The malfunction light keeps coming back on. And sometimes it has to be restarted several times just to reset it. It was on 7/30/2021 when someone besides me noticed this issue. But its been doing me this way for last three months.

Car transmission jumps when its starts moving at the beginning makes it feel like someone rear ended the car. This happens Every time. it does not feel safe.

2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited. While driving the vehicle, lost power abruptly and without warning in traffic on 5 occasions between May 2021 and July. Car towed and taken to dealership each time with repair notations indicating short in PDC causing fuse for ignition coils to blow. That was replaced. An additional note when the car failed again indicated an internal short in PCM which was replaced. I've spent thousands of dollars, not to mention the safety issue of stalling in traffic. The last time, I was on a very busy freeway and didn't have enough power to fully move to the shoulder. I counted about 3 near misses with cars about to hit me. I don't have every *Invoice* as they didn't return them all to me but will upload what I do have. This is a serious issue and I'm not getting any resolution with the dealership.

while I was driving a was coming to a complete stop and the jeep stalled on me and said a quick message on the dash about shifting i tried to start it again and it took a second to kick over. Its done this twice today and has been doing it at least once a day. This is a serious problem especially if I happen to be on the highway or going threw an intersection.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power causing the vehicle to jerk back and forth and eventually stall. After a few minutes, the contact restarted the vehicle and was able to continue to their destination, however, the failure persisted several times thereafter. The contact noticed after doing an oil change the vehicle would consume a lot of oil and shortly after the oil change check engine warning light would illuminate. The contact checked the oil level and found the level low. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer to have it inspected, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The failure continued and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the failure was diagnosed as a multi-air actuator with the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage 143,000.

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.

THERE IS NO WARNING TO IT AND NO OIL LIGHT TO TELL ME THE ENGINE IS LOW OF OIL. IT ALSO HAS SEVERAL OTHER WARNINGS THAT COME ON FOR NO REASON. THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STOP THE CAR FROM GOING INTO PARK, AGAIN CAUSING THE CAR AND PASSENGERS TO BE IN DANGER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, EITHER GOING FAST OR SLOW. IT COMES WITHOUT WARNING AND WHEN I CALL ABOUT IT, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ALL WHO DRIVE THIS CAR AND CARS LIKE IT

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY LOW BEAMS 10+ TIMES THIS YEAR. THEY KEEP SHORTING OUR. ALSO HAVE TO HAVE MY ENGINE THERMOSTAT REPLACED EVEN THOUGH IT'S WORKING FINE. IT'S ELECTRICAL KEEPS CAUSING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. AND THE FIX IS REPLACING SOMETHING THAT IS FULLY WORKING. AND BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I CAN'T MAKW IT THROUGH DEQ TO GET TAGS FOR MY CAR. THIS IS THE 3RD (SEPARATE) ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR AND I'M DONE. KEEP SHOULD STAND UP FOR THEIR PRODUCT.

I WAS LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD YESTERDAY MORNING WHEN MY JEEP SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND WOULD NOT START. THANKFULLY I WAS STILL CLOSE TO HOME AND WAS ABLE TO GO HOME IN NEUTRAL! WHAT IF I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY? OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION! THE SCREEN SAID TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS STILL WORK BUT IT DOES NOT START. I AM FINANCING THIS JEEP AND HAVE HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS FROM A DEALERSHIP. I DONT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARANTY AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS... I LOOKED UP ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND FOUND IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS TO MINE OF THEYRE NEW JEEPS JUST SHUTTING OFF MID DRIVE. THIS NEEDS TO BA ADDRESSED. IM TERRIFIED OF THIS CAR.

LET SIT OVERNIGHT AND DEALER INDICATES JEEP WILL ONLY GO IN REVERSE, LATER IN DAY SECOND TRY JEEP DRIVES FINE AND NO CODES TO REPORT A PROBLEM TO FIX. CANNOT IDENTIFY FAILURE SINCE NO "CODES" WERE AVAILABLE IN SYSTEM. DEALER DROVE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT PROBLEM OF GOING INTO NEUTRAL OCCURRING. I PICKED UP VEHICLE AND DROVE HOME. NEXT MORNING WHILE MAKING A SIGNALED LEFT TURN NO CITY STREET, JEEP GOES INTO NEUTRAL, COAST TO ADJACENT PARKING LOT CROSSING OVER ONE LANE AND STOP. VEHICLE ENGAGES INTO DRIVE SO I PROCEED. RETURNING HOME A FEW MINUETS LATER AND AT ABOUT 50 MPH JEEP AGAIN GOES INTO NEUTRAL, I REMOVE FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR BUT ENGINE ACCELERATES TO ABOUT 5500 TO 5800 RPM AS I COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD (QUITE SHAKEN AT THIS POINT DUE TO ACCELERATED ENGINE). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON DURING THIS EPISODE. WAIT A FEW MINUETS TO CALM DOWN AND RESTART JEEP. TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AND RETURN TO DEALER. DEALER FINDS CODE IS DUE TO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHEEL SPEED AND ENGINE SPEED- NOT TRANSMISSION RELATED. SEVERAL SERVICE TECHS DRIVE JEEP THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITHOUT PROBLEM. LATER IN DAY DRIVER EXPERIENCES NEUTRAL CONDITION 3 TIMES WHILE TEST DRIVING- STILL NO CODES TO ID PROBLEM.

DRIVING ALONG WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT AND CONTINUES TO ROLL, BUT DOES NOT OPERATE. CAR MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, REST AND THEN TRY TO RESTART - VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. A MESSAGE COMES ON STATING "VEHICLE MUST BE IN GEAR TO SHIFT" OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO THAT - BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO SHIFTING ON MY PART AT ALL. THIS STALLING HAS PUT ME IN VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS BECAUSE CARS COMING FROM BEHIND AND AROUND ME HAVE NO WARNING OF THE STALLED OUT ENGINE EITHER. IT TAKES ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINUTES TO RESTART THE ENGINE. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND ITS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PISTONS. ANOTHER JEEP SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ITS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FEAR THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET HIT (MY DAUGHTER AND I) AND MEANWHILE, WE DO NOT HAVE OTHER TRANSPORTATION AND I'M GOING TO BE PAYING ON THIS FOR 4 MORE YEARS. THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION ON OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. FOR NOW, THE DEALERSHIP IS DOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHICH IS RELATED TO THE ENGINE PROBLEMS KNOWN ON OTHER VEHICLES. WITH THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ENGINE.

SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, A JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE IS HAS SHOWN THESE ERRORS CONSISTENTLY. EXAMPLES: THE VEHICLE DECELERATES WHEN PUSHED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING. IT SHIFTS HARD BETWEEN GEARS WHEN DRIVING, CAUSING A JERKING MOTION WITHIN THE CAR - EVEN WHEN GENTLY ACCELERATING. ON ONE OCCASION IT HAS SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY STOP FUNCTIONING. MORE RECENTLY, I WAS REAR-ENDED AT A GAS STATION AND WAS UNAWARE, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS MY CAR JERKING FORWARD UPON ACCELERATION. WHEN REVERSING, THE VEHICLE JERKS BACKWARDS - AFTER A DELAY.

THE FIRST INCIDENT I HAD NOTICED WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE RPMS/ENGINE WOULD REV REALLY HIGH AND LOUD BUT THE CAR WAS ONLY GOING 55 AND IT SEEMED TO BE IN THE WRONG GEAR BUT I WAS IN THE AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITION WHICH SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS, I COULD UNDERSTAND IF I WAS IN STANDARD STICK SHIFT AND IF I WOULD DOWN SHIFT IT WOULD CAUSE IT TO DO THAT. THEN I STARTED NOTICING A HESITATION IN THE TAKE OFF OF THE VEHICLE SO WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND TURNING LEFT IT WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC IT WILL HESITATE AND GOD FOR BID THERE IS A CAR COMING AND IT IS HESITATING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL LURCH FORWARD AND I GET THROWN FORWARD THEN BACKWARD IN MY SEAT AS IF I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND MY VEHICLE AND IT WILL JAR MY NECK CAUSING PAIN, I HAD NECK SURGERY IN 2016 WITH A CAGE PUT IN AND A FUSION OF 2 CADAVER BONES, I AM IN NO CONDITION FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE LURCHING FORWARD AS IF IT IS GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME INCIDENT EITHER IT IS ON GOING DAILY. I AM HOPING FOR A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ONCE AND PLAN ON TAKING IT IN AGAIN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT POSSIBLY DOING SOMETHING TO IT TO FIX IT.

Mileage: 13,000

WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP CAR HESITATES OR JERKS, SOMETIMES CLUNKS OR GRINDS. DOES THE SAME THING WHEN TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE, PULLING OUT AT A STOP LIGHT DOES THE SAME THING. I BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION AS THE CAR SEEMS NOT TO WANT TO SHIFT CORRECTLY AND MAKES ROUGH, JUMPY GRINDING NOISES DOES THIS MOST OF TIME TIME YOU DRIVE IT AND HAS FOR ALONG TIME.

Mileage: 2,000

WHILE DRIVING, I'VE HAD TWO PROBLEMS. ONE WHERE WHEN MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 4TH TO 5TH THE WHOLE VEHICLE HITS REALLY HARD. IT'S A VERY SUDDEN AND HARD JERK. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS, TODAY, WE WERE DRIVING AND AT THE BEGINNING OF ACCELERATION, THE JEEP SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF.

Mileage: 60,140

THE VEHICLE'S LOW OIL LIGHT INDICATOR ONLY FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN AND DOES NOT REMAIN ON. THIS ONLY TAKES PLACE WHEN THE CAR IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL AND THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS NO LEAKS BUT REQUIRES OIL EVERY 700 MILES OR SO. THE ENGINE RUNS OFF SYNTHETIC OIL WHICH SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED LESS FREQUENTLY, BUT THIS VEHICLE NEEDS OIL REPLACEMENT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS.

Mileage: 75,000

THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME A WEEK AGO TO COME PICK THE CAR AND WHEN I GOT THERE IT WOULDN'T EVEN RUN TO GET TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO ME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 1/2 YEARS NOW ONLY GETTING WORSE ALL OF THE TIME I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR KNOWING IT CAN SHUT DOWN ANYTIME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND CHRYSLER WON'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT KEEP PUTTING IT BACK IN THE SHOP AND AFTER 3 WEEKS OR I GO TO PICK IT UP AND ONCE AGAIN IT WON'T RUN. *DT*JB

I PURCHASED A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE SEPTEMBER 2018 WITH 64,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE STREET, THE VEHICLE WILL JERK REALLY HARD LIKE IT IS CHANGING GEARS. IF I AM PUTTING VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND LEAVING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY, THE VEHICLE JERKS. WHENEVER I AM DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED (0-45MPH) THE VEHICLE JERKS. WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, LIKE A STOP SIGN, RED LIGHT, OR HEAVY TRAFFIC, VEHICLE JERKS ONCE I ACCELERATE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALER TO BE SERVICED ON NOVEMBER 3, 2018 REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS BUT THERE WAS AN UPDATE (RRT) COMPLETED ON VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2018 FOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SERVICES AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS TOLD VEHICLE IS NOT SHOWING ANY PROBLEMS BUT MY THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACING DUE TO THERMOSTAT RATIONALITY CODE. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR A FUTURE DATE TO THE SERVICE. ALSO HAD LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FIXED WAS TOLD THE BULB DIDN'T NEED REPLACING THAT SOMEHOW IT CAME UNSCREWED. HEADLIGHT WAS WORKING BEFORE I LEFT, LATER ON THAT DAY HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. I LIVE IN HOUSTON WHERE THE TEMPS RE NOW IN THE 50S HIGHS 60S AND I HAD MY HEATER ON, ALL OF A SUDDEN I STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE LIKE OIL SMOKE. BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS COMING ON ON MY DASHBOARD.

MY FIANCEE PURCHASED A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SUV 4X4 (CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED W/ ADDITIONAL, EXTENDED WARRANTY) ONE (1) MONTH AGO ALMOST TO THE DAY OF THIS INCIDENT REPORT. WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING (APPROXIMATELY 5-5:30AM), THE CAR BECAME NON-FUNCTIONAL AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLICKERED WITH WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURRED WITH NO OUTSIDE FORCES OR FACTORS TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND THE CAR STALLED IMMEDIATELY, WHILE STILL MOVING. THE ELECTRICAL WAS ON AND DISPLAY WORKED, HOWEVER; THE CAR WOULD NOT GO AT ALL. THE CAR BEHIND HER HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. HAD IT BEEN ANY LATER IN THE DAY OR ON A BUSY, MAJOR HIGHWAY; I FEAR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. WE HAVE NOW BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY CANNOT GET TO THE CAR FOR AT LEAST TWO (2) WEEKS WITH NO LOANER CARS AVAILABLE. WE WERE ADVISED TO CALL JEEP DIRECTLY AND GO OVER THE SITUATION AND THEY OFFERED NO HELP AT ALL BUT TO *POTENTIALLY* REIMBURSE RENTAL COSTS WHILE THE CAR WOULD BE REPAIRED (MUCH LATER AFTER THE RENTAL NEEDS TO BE PAID). THIS IS OUR SECOND JEEP AND I AM ABSOLUTELY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS AS THIS COULD HAVE COST MY FIANCEE HER LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS. WE NOW DO NOT KNOW THE BEST PATH FORWARD AND ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION TO EITHER REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. MAYBE LEGAL ACTION IS REQUIRED. FOR BEING "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED" THE LEVEL OF TRUST HAS DEFINITELY BEEN REDUCED IF NOT LOST COMPLETELY. I HOPE THIS GETS RESOLVED SOON AND THAT JEEP REALLY UNDERSTANDS THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE. IF A RECALL IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH, PLEASE FIX THIS AND MAKE IT RIGHT. PEOPLE BUY THESE CARS TO BE YOUR CUSTOMERS - DON'T DO WRONG BY THEM AND RISK THEIR LIVES TO PREVENT SPENDING TOWARDS THE RESOLUTION OF A COMMON PROBLEM.

START/STOP FAILING TO WORK OR WORKS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE LOCAL DEALER 4 OR 5 TIMES. ONE VISIT THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 DAYS. THEY EVEN TALKED TO CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS ISSUE. SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY FOR THIS. DIDN'T HELP. NOW THE WARNING STILL COMES ON AT DIFFERENT TIMES. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T SHUT DOWN AT ALL WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SOMETIMES IT DOES. I ALSO NOTICED THE JEEP NOT SHIFTING RIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-6 TIMES. NOT SURE IF ONE THING IS CONNECTED TO ANOTHER BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED. I HAVE MY 3 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE JEEP OFTEN AND DON'T LIKE THIS FAULTY ISSUE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

WHILE DRIVING CAR HOME FROM WORK IN SUNNY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE CARS DASH BEEPED AND LIT UP WITH THE BATTERY WARNING. MY CAR STOPPED EXELERATING BUT ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL IN THE CAR STILL WORKED. AFTER TRYING TO GET IT TO TURN OVER AGAIN IT JUST RATTLED. I WAS ABLE TO GET A JUMP AND HEAD HOME WHERE WE LOOKED DEEPER INTO THE PROBLEM. WE FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT THE STARTER, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR WERE ALL WORKING AND IN GOOD CONDITION AND HAD NO CLUE WHY IT WOULD HAVE DIED ON ME FOR NO REASON. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHILD AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY BUSY/CONSTRUCTION AREAS IF MY CAR COULD STOP ON A DIME WITHOUT WARNING. NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE GETTING HURT OR EVEN KILLED.

ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD & AFTER 10-15 MINUTES VEHICLE WILL START. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES & EACH TIME I HAVE BROUGHT IT BACK TO NORMANDIN JEEP IN SAN JOSE, CA. OF COURSE IT IS RUNNING EACH TIME WHEN I GET TO THE DEALERSHIP & I ALWAYS GET THE SAME STORY. LOW OIL OR OIL PRESSURE. I CURRENTLY HAVE LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE JEEP & MY FIRST INCIDENT BEGAN WITH 15,000 MILES ......... THEN AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN. I LIVE IN SILICON VALLEY & HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD SON. THE FREEWAYS ARE BUSY AND THIS HAS BECOME A DANGEROUS SITUATION. ACCORDING TO MY ONLINE RESEARCH ........ THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE ..........BUT ........ THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THIS. ON MY LAST VISIT ABOUT A MONTH AGO (LESS THAN 40,000 ON ODOMETER) THEY (NORMANDIN) TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT & THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ..........EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE BEGAN A COUPLE YEARS AGO. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM .......... HE WOULD REPLACE THE UNIT AND CHARGE ME ONLY $100. WITH A JOB & A ONE YEAR OLD CHILD ..... I CERTAINLY DID NOT HAVE THE TIME TO ARGUE. THEY REPLACED THE UNIT & FILLED MY JEEP WITH OIL AND I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. WELL ............ MY JEEP JUST STRANDED ME AGAIN . SAME PROBLEM & I KEEP CALLING THE DEALERSHIP (FOR THE PAST 5 DAYS) AND THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALL. I SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR THIS. PLUS I AM SCARED TO BE ON THE ROAD TO MY WORK WITH MY YOUNG SON IN THE BACK SEAT (I DROP HIM OFF AT DAY CARE). I WRITE THE NHTSA BECAUSE I'M AWARE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT PERHAPS THEIR LOCAL JEEP DEALER REPAIRS THE PROBLEM ............ WHETHER IT BE WITH A NEW ENGINE OR WHATEVER. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ?

TODAY BEING 7/26/2018. TODAY MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN IN THE MORNING, AND AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN MAKING A U-TURN. AND FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE, A FEW TIMES I FELT THE ENGINE ATTEMPT TO SHUT OFF WHEN COMING TO STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS, WHICH THE VEHICLE SHAKING WOULD TAKE PLACE AND THE MOTOR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. IN THE CASE OF TRANSMISSION, FOR THE PAST MONTH IN RANDOM MOMENTS WHILE STOPPED AT AN INCLINE OR TURNING ONTO AN INCLINE STREET, THE GEARS WOULD DELAY SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR, AND IT WOULD SOUND LIKE RPM WAS REACHING HIGHER THAN NORMAL ROTATIONS BEFORE ACTUALLY SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR, THE CAR JERKING FROM THE CATCH. ALL EVENTS OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ON STREETS, BOTH WHEN TURNING OR STOPPING, OR INCLINE CLIMB INVOLVED.

Mileage: 16,650

WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAYS PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START. THE CAR CONSUMES LARGE AMOUNTS OF SYNTHETIC OIL, WHICH SHOULD LAST UP TO 6 MONTHS BUT ONLY LASTS BETWEEN 700-1000 MILES PER QUART. THE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON INDICATING THAT THE OIL IS LOW. IT FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN TOO FAST FOR THE DRIVER TO SEE THE WARNING. WHEN THE OIL IS LOW, THE CAR BEGINS TO SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW RATES OF SPEED ON CITY STREETS AND A HIGHWAY DURING RUSH OUR TRAFFIC, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME.

I NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST JEEP. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2015 CHEROKEE IS AWFUL AND A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE JERKS AROUND SO MUCH WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, I'M CONCERNED IT'S EVENTUALLY GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IN TRAFFIC IT PUNCHES FORWARD AND STOPS ABRUPTLY BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS. IT'S AWFUL THAT I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE I'M ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE. ANYTIME I HAVE A PASSENGER THEY COMMENT ON HOW THE CAR JERKS AND UNPLEASANT IT IS TO RIDE IN. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME GETTING A LEMON AND SOMETHING I HAVE TO DEAL WITH BUT I WENT ONLINE TODAY AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER 2015 CHEROKEE LATITUDE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO MANY ACCIDENTS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (CHRYSLER, DODGE, AND FORD FIAT OF BAY RIDGE, 8635 18TH AVENUE, BROOKLYN, NY 11209). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND NOTIFY THE CONTACT OF THE RESULTS. THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO NOTIFY THEM AFTER THE DEALER COMPLETED THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,005.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH WHAT I ASSUME IS THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BUCKS AND MAKES LOTS OF NOISE. IT SOUNDS LIKE GEARS ARE GRINDING AND IT IS FIGHTING TO GET TRACTION. ALSO, WHEN BACK UP MY DRIVEWAY IT FEELS LIKE THE REAR WHEELS ARE SLIPPING AND FIGHT TO GET TRACTION AS WELL. IT STARTED TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A FLAT SURFACE AT LIKE 30 MPH AS WELL. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS MADE IT LESS FREQUENT. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE TAKEN VIDEOS OF THE PROBLEM OCCURING.

Mileage: 54,200

I BOUGHT MY JEEP WITH 12,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3X SO FAR FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. TRANSMISSION CLUNKING, LURCHING, WONT DOWN SHIFT AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN IN TRAFFIC BELOW 20MPH SOME TIMES IT REVS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DOESN'T MOVE AND THEN THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. SOMETIMES IT JUST HAS NO ACCELERATION LIKE ITS STUCK A FEW GEARS TOO HIGH. THE SHIFT GOING INTO 5TH GEAR SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I GOT REARENED IT SHIFTS SO HARD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE JERKS BACK AND FOURTH AND HAS A METALLIC BANG GOING INTO 5TH. THE 5TH GEAR HARD SHIFT IS INTERMITTENT. THE BOGGING, LURCHING AND REFUSAL TO DOWN SHIFT AT SLOWER SPEEDS IS CONSTANT. DEALER HAS YET TO BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING BUT COMPUTER UPDATES. THEY SAY ITS "NORMAL". IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT ITS GOING TO DO WHEN YOU TRY AND ACCELERATE. I CAN'T COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO CROSS IN BETWEEN TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK REFUSES TO GO OR JUST MOVES AT A TURTLE SPEED.ONCE I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR HARD ENOUGH IT WILL DOWN SHIFT HARD ENOUGH TO BREAK THE TIRES LOOSE AND PEEL OUT WHEN IT LURCHES AHEAD. IT IS VERY TROUBLING AND I DON'T WANT TO LET ANYONE BESIDES MYSELF DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DONT WANT THEM TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I CAN ALSO ASSUME THAT ALL OF THESE HARD SHIFTS ARE CAUSING A LOT OF PREMATURE WEAR ON MY DRIVE TRAIN. ITS LIKE PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, REVVING IT UP AND THEN SLAMMING IT INTO GEAR. IT IS A DAILY OCCURENCE.

EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL I COULD SEE THE NEEDLE FOR REVS MOVING WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND TRIED THE PEDAL AGAIN. SAME RESULT THE CAR WOULD REV BUT NOT GO ASIDE FROM A STUTTERING /LIGHT JERKING, ALMOST AS IF IT DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE HAD ROUGH SHIFTS FROM THE DAY WE DROVE THIS OFF THE LOT. I WAS TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT IT WAS PART OF THE BREAK IN PERIOD AND THERE WERE NO CODES SPITTING OUT UNTIL THIS PAST SUMMER WHERE I GOT THE SERVICE SHIFTER PROBLEM A SECOND TIME THAT WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I NEVER HAVE USED THIS VEHICLE OFF ROAD AND MAYBE TWICE FOR VIRGINIA SNOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS A RECALL, WHICH THEY HAVE FIXED. BUT NOW WE ARE BACK TO THE SAME SYMPTOMS ONLY NOW THE VEHICLE WANTS TO STOP FORWARD MOTION WHILE DRIVING. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE.

WHILE DRIVING ON SUNDAY MY JEEP SUDDENLY WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART, I WAS STRANDED IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SINCE THERE WAS NO WARNING I HAD NO TIME TO PULL TO SIDE. AAA TOWED TO CLARK CHRYSLER/JEEP WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT AND UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALL PM'S HAVE BEEN DONE THERE AND DONE TIMELY. WHAT THEY FOUND WAS JEEP WAS DOWN 3 QTS OF OIL, I ASKED HOW THAT COULD BE AND WHY WOULD ENGINE SHUT OFF SO ABRUPTLY THEY CLAIM THE 2.4 ENGINES USE 1QT PER 1,000 MILES, THAT NO INDICATOR OR WARNING COMES ON AND ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF TO PROTECT IT. NO WHERE IS IT LISTED IN OWNERS MANUAL, I HAVE BEEN IN AUTOMOTIVE FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND IF AN ENGINE BURNS A QT PER 1,000 YOU REBUILD OR BUY A NEW ENGINE, I AM NOW TOLD I MUST CHECK AND ADD OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES ON A 2015 WITH ONLY 42,000 MILES! SAFETY CONCERN IS IF ANYONE IS ON HIGHWAY IT COULD CAUSE DEATH WITH A SUDDEN STOPPAGE OF VEHICLE, I WAS LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF OF A COUNTRY ROAD AND AAA HAD POLICE COME TO HELP BLOCK ME FROM TRAFFIC PASSING AROUND ME, I NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS SO I CALLED JEEP AND MELISA ON THEIR CONSUMER LINE CONFIRMED WITH SERVICE TECH IAN HOGAN AND TOLD ME THAT SHE IS TOLD IT HAPPENS AND THERE IS NO WARNING , HOW CAN JEEP THINK THIS IS SAFE WITHOUT AT LEAST NOTIFYING OWNERS TO BE AWARE?

TOOK VEHICLE TO CERTIFIED JEEP MECHANIC ON NOVEMBER 6, 2017 WITH MY COMPLAINT. THEY STATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE 'FLASHED'. I PICKED THE VEHICLE BACK UP AT 4:30PM. AFTER LEAVING IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AS I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL VEHICLE AS THEY WERE CLOSING AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. I PICKED THE VEHICLE BACK UP ON NOVEMBER 7, 2017. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE AS IT RANDOMLY ACCELERATES AND CUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THIS MODEL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I AM WORRIED IT'S GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY THREE SHORT WEEKS AND I'VE ALREADY HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE. I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT.

ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE WHEN CAR WAS ALMOST BRAND NEW, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FLASHED THE SYSTEM. SAID IT WAS A RECALL. CAR DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE BUT NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND I SUDDENLY HAVE NO POWER. I COULD PUSH THE THROTTLE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE. I HAD TO MAKE IT ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC GOING 75MPH AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER. I TRIED RESTARTING AND IT SHUTTERED AND DIED, TWICE. LET IT SIT FOR A MIN AND THEN IT RESTARTED. IT HAPPENED 2 DAYS LATER. THIS TIME I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND I HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I SLAMMED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT SHUTTERED AND GOT POWER AGAIN.

MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING ON THE FIRST DRIVE OF THE MORNING FOR 4 DAYS. STARTS UP AND IT'S FINE AFTER THAT. YESTERDAY WHILE VIDEOING IT TO SHOW A DEALER, I HEARD A DING. SAW NOTHING ON THE PANEL. REVIEWED THE VIDEO, AND I CAN ONLY SPECULATE IT SAID OIL PRESSURE LOW. IT LASTED LESS THAN HALF A SECOND AND DISAPPEARED. I CHECKED MY OIL AND FOUND IT TO BE BARELY REGISTERING ON THE STICK. IT TOOK 2 1/2 QUARTS TO FILL IT. MY OIL CHANGE STICKER STATES I'M 1200 MILES AWAY FROM THE 4000 MARK THE DEALER PUTS ON IT. I WAS TOLD TODAY BY A JEEP DEALER, THAT THE 2.4 ENGINE IN THE CHEROKEE WILL USE A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750-1000 MILES IF OVER 50,000 MILES. I HAVE 56,580 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN OIL IS LOW, THE CAR WILL STALL TO PREVENT DAMAGE AS A SAFETY FEATURE. UNFORTUNATELY THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO COAST ACROSS A BUSY TWO LANE ROAD WHILE MAKING A TURN, SO I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT. IT THEN TAKES 2-3 TIME TO CRANK IT OVER TO RESTART IT. THIS WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 40,009 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERS SAY THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL FOR THIS ENGINE TO BURN OIL. I DON'T BELIEVE ANY MANURACTURER SHOULD SELL VEHICLES THAT "BURN" OIL AT A QUART PER 1000 MILES. I BOUGHT A NEWER CAR FOR LESS MAINTENANCE. NOW I HAVE TO ADD OIL ONCE A MONTH TO MY CAR. NOT TO MENTION THAT IF A DUMMY LIGHT OR MESSAGE COMES ON REGARDING SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL TO SHUT YOUR CAR OFF, WHY DOES THE MESSAGE ONLY FLASH SO YOU CAN'T EVEN READ IT? I HAD TO WATCH THE VIDEO TO SEE POSSIBLY WHAT IT SAID. I AM UNABLE TO SEND THE VIDEO FROM MY PHONE BECAUSE IT IS TOO LARGE. I'M TRYING TO GET IT TO SYNC SO I CAN SEND IT. THIS IS THE FLASH OF THE WARNING MESSAGE, NOT AN ACTUAL STALL.

FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS, MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEEN AT AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO REPAIR DAMAGE MADE FROM A BREAK IN. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR SINCE SEPTEMBER 22ND. THIS MORNING, AFTER FINALIZING THE PAPERWORK WITH THE REPAIR FACILITY AND PAYING A DEDUCTIBLE, I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY DRIVE MY JEEP AGAIN. PULLED OUT OF THE BODY SHOP'S PARKING LOT, ONTO A CITY STREET, DROVE NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF A MILE AND MAYBE A MINUTE OR SO INTO THE DRIVE AND THE DASHBOARD ICON OF THE BATTERY ILLUMINATED, THE NOTIFICATION SOUND PLAYED, AND THE CAR SLOWED TO A STOP AGAIN. ALSO, THE NOTIFICATION CENTER DISPLAYED "SHIFT TO PARK". LUCKILY THIS TIME I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I SHIFTED INTO PARK, PLACED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, AND WAVED THE CARS THAT WERE BEHIND ME TO DRIVE AROUND. MADE THE ATTEMPT TO RESTART TWICE WITH NO SUCH LUCK. THE THIRD ATTEMPT SAW THE CAR TURN BACK ON SUCCESSFULLY. THE REPAIR FACILITY THAT I LEFT IS THANKFULLY A FEW MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I LEASE THE CHEROKEE. I DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER, PLACED THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND WALKED IN TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AFTER TALKING WITH ONE MEMBER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, HE STATED THAT HE WOULD TRY TO SQUEEZE THE CHEROKEE IN FOR SOME TESTING BUT COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT BECAUSE THERE WERE MANY CARS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE AND ONLY ONE PERSON AVAILABLE TO POSSIBLY LOOK AT MY CAR. FINALLY, AFTER A FEW HOURS IN THE CUSTOMER WAITING AREA, I WAS TOLD THAT THE JEEP WAS LOW ON OIL. AND THAT THE CHEROKEE ALONG WITH THE CHRYSLER 200, AND ANOTHER CAR THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER AT THE MOMENT ARE DESIGNED TO STALL WHEN THE AMOUNT OF OIL BECOMES LOW. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE SAID THAT THIS WAS A "EUROPEAN DESIGN SAFETY FEATURE" FOR THE CAR. I KEPT THE CHEROKEE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM ON THIS UPCOMING MONDAY THE 10TH OF OCTOBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO CORTLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (3878 WEST RD, CORTLAND, NY 13045 (877) 279-3113), BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,500.

I PARKED THE JEEP AND TURNED IT OFF AND WHEN INSIDE FOR 10 MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR TO LEAVE AND A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON LIKE SERVICE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN. I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND A HUGE CLUNK FROM THE TRANSMISSION HAPPENED I BACKED UP AND PUT IT IN FORWARD AND A HUGE CLUNK HAPPENED AGAIN. IT SHOCKED THE WHOLE CAR. I WENT FORWARD AND IT BARLEY WOULD GO. IT TOOK ALONG TIME TO GET UP TO SPEED. IT KIND OF SHOOK AND WAS REALLY SCAREY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND BARELY MADE IT. THE GUY SAID THE TECHS WHERE ALL GONE FOR THE DAY. I COULDN'T LEAVE IT THERE SO I STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT WORKED FINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON THOUGH. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED IT UP AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. IT WORKED FINE FOR 3 DAYS UNTIL IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN THE SAME STUFF. SO I TURNED IT OFF AND STARTED IT 10 MINUTES LATER AND IT WAS FINE. IT IS A LEASED JEEP AND I AM GOING TO BRING IT IN THIS FRIDAY. I WANT THIS FIXED. I HAVE READ LOTS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH 100S OF OTHER PEOPLE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE JUST GIVING PEOPLE THE RUN AROUND. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I WANT A NEW JEEP OR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT HAVE ANY TIME TO BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL THE TIME OR DO I WANT TO DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENS A THAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING IS THAT IT WILL SHIFT OUT OF GEAR ON THE FREEWAY AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE ALMOST CRASHED BECAUSE OF THIS. THANK YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WILL DO ABOUT THIS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH, THE CAR GAVE ME A "TRANSMISSION SERVICE" ALARM AND THEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED. NO RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION AND EVENTUALLY TO STEERING CONTROL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES, TURNED THE KEY AND THEN THE CAR STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITH NO ISSUES. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED WITH CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM OVERSEAS MILITARY SALES IN SICILY, ITALY AND THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN SICILY.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER FOR PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH ACCELERATION AND BRAKING. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND STEP ON THE GAS WITH NO ACCELERATION. THERE ARE TIMES I'M TRYING TO STOP AND IT BUCKS ALMOST LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. IT'S BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH COMPUTER UPDATES, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEING UPDATED ETC. THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN GOING UP HILLS, DOWN HILLS, ON STRAIGHT AWAYS ETC. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR JUST WHEN ACCELERATING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN MOTION. I DO HAVE RECEIPTS AS TO WHAT THEY HAVE REPLACED IF NEEDED. THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING.

WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT VEHICLES, THE PRIMARY ITEMS I WANTED IN THE NEW VEHICLE WAS A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE PICK-UP NEEDED FOR EXTENSIVE HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE ISSUES EXISTED SINCE IT WAS NEW BUT I HAVE ACTUALLY BECOME CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE; WE ONLY DRIVE IT WHEN WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO (IE. BOTH OF US IN THE HOUSEHOLD HAVE TO GO TO WORK). THE ENGINE IS THE 6 CYLINDER WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THIS ENGINE HAS INTERMITTENT ISSUES WHERE THE VEHICLE HESITATES, LURCHES, AND JUMPS. SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP, IT HESITATES SEVERAL SECONDS, AND THEN WHEN IT DOES RESPOND THE TIRES SQUEAL AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING AS IT SHOULD. SOMETIMES IT IS A MILDER RESPONSE WHERE IT IS JUST A HESITATION DUE TO DELAYED SHIFTING. MORE RECENTLY, NOW THE ENGINE IS NOT DOWNSHIFTING AND THE ENGINE REVS AND DOESN'T WANT TO DOWNSHIFT. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS BECAUSE IT IS SO ERRATIC AND I CONSTANTLY WONDER WHAT IT IS GOING TO DO NEXT. EVERY TIME WE TAKE IT TO THE JEEP DEALER, THEY UPDATE THE COMPUTER AND SEND US ON OUR WAY. THE SOFTWARE UPDATES DO NOT HELP. WE HAVE ASKED THEM TO DRIVE IT AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY DON'T EXPERIENCE ANYTHING WRONG. IT WASN'T UNTIL WE WENT TO WRITE THIS LETTER THAT WE REALIZED THAT THE SERVICE ORDERS DON'T RECORD THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ASKED THE JEEP DEALER TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP WITH THEM. WHICH INDICATES TO US THAT JEEP IS TRYING TO HIDE FROM THIS ISSUE. THE AMAZING THING IS THAT IF YOU GO ONLINE AND START RESEARCHING ISSUES WITH THE JEEP ENGINE THAT HAS THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS WE ARE HAVING. THE SAD THING IS JEEP CONTINUES TO MAKE THE ENGINE WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND THE ISSUES DON'T SEEM TO BE FIXED. TO ME THAT IS BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE CONSUMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CHECK TRANSMISSION AND SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (METRO JEEP LOCATED AT 650C MEMORIAL DR CHICOPEE, MA 01020 877-220-8331) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UPDATE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 32118538. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,240.

AT 17,000 MILES, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CHEROKEE. THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. I POWERED OFF THE ENGINE AND IT SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED AFTER ONE ATTEMPT. I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP LATER THAT DAY TO FIND OUT I WAS "OUT OF OIL", THIS WAS ROUGHLY 2500 MILES INTO MY MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE (WHICH IS PROJECTED FOR 5000 MILES). I WAS DISAPPOINTED, DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING A YEAR OLD. THE DEALERSHIP ADDED SOME OIL AND I WAS ON MY WAY. SHORTLY AFTER, I STARTED NOTICING THE ENGINE WOULD REV TO HIGH RPM'S WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE RPM'S WOULD INCREASE DRASTICALLY WHEN BREAKING, THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP BETWEEN GEARS 1-3, MAKING INCREASING YOUR SPEED EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AS YOU NEVER KNEW WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE OFF. MY DEALERSHIP WAS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE " THIS ISSUE, AND I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. FAST FORWARD 9 MONTHS, AND MY VEHICLE DIES ON ME AS I AM LEAVING WORK. HOWEVER, THIS TIME, IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START IT BY PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS, AND ANY TIME I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. I DROVE WITH TWO FEET TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY, AND FOUND OUT ONCE AGAIN I WAS "OUT OF OIL". THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST", WHICH MEANS BRINGING YOUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AT VARIOUS MILE MARKERS (500,1000, 2000, 2000). AT THIS TIME, THEY WOULD CHECK THE OIL LEVELS AND REFILL ANY LOST OIL. THROUGH THIS, I FOUND OUT MY VEHICLE WAS "BURNING THROUGH" 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 666.67 MILES. CHRYSLER GUIDELINES SAY A VEHICLE OF MY SPECIFICATIONS SHOULD USE 1 QUART IN 2000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE IS A BEAUTIFUL DEATH TRAP ON WHEELS, AND SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT TO JEEP LOVERS EVERYWHERE. STAY AWAY.

A FEW DAYS LATER I DROVE IT TO A LOCATION WHERE I STAYED FOR 2 HOURS, LEFT AND GOT HOME WHERE I STAYED FOR A FEW MINUTES. CAME BACK OUT TO USE THE VEHICLE BUT THE ENGINE DIDN'T 'TURN OVER' . CALLED THE SERVICE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY. THEY RE-BOOT THE CAR & I LET THE ENGINE RUN FOR 1/2 HR. PER HIS INSTRUCTION. THE WENT TO A DRIVE THRU AND DECIDED TO HEAD HOME BUT SHORTLY AFTER THE JEEP SHUTS OFF AT A STOP LIGHT. I WAITED 5 MIN THEN RESTART AND HEADED HOME WITH MY HAZARD LIGHT FLASHING.

DRIVING MY VEHICLE OVER THE WEEKEND WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON, THE VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF NO POWER COULD NOT DO ANYTHING THE VEHICLE TURNED ON AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. WHERE MY FAMILY AND I WERE EXTREMELY NERVOUS THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING HOME. THANK GOD I WAS NOT DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY FAMILY AND MYSELF COULD HAVE GOTTEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE IN MY VEHICLE OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNED ON AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE START AND STOP SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON ADVISING TO HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED, THE REST OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN HOME IT CONSTANTLY SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO LOOSE POWER AND TURN OFF.

ONCE I ARRIVED AT WORK I WALKED AROUND TO THE PASSAGE SIDE TO RETRIEVE MY STAFF. I COULD SMELLED ANTIFREEZE. I CONTACTED JEEP RIGHT AWAY AND THEY CONTACT A TOW COMPANY. IT WAS DROP OFF. THE DEALERSHIP WORKED ON IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THEY DID PRESSURE TEST FOR EXTERNAL LEAK, DIDN'T LOCATE A LEAK. THEY DIDN'T DO A INTERNAL EXAMINE. IT'S 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLES ALREADY LEAKING ANTIFREEZE. I HAVE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE BUT STILL SMELL ANTIFREEZE. TWO PRESSURE TEST LATER NOTHING. I JUST PICKUP MY VEHICLE FOR THE SECOND TIME. WHY IS JEEP VEHICLES HAVING SO MANY PROBLEM. MY PSI, TRANSMISSION AND RADIO MAKING SOUNDS WHEN ITS OFF. JEEP IS A BAD VEHICLE AND IT JUST A MATTER OF TIME, HUMANS MIGHT BE IN DAMAGE DUE TO THE UNCARING MANUFACTURING COMPANY THAT MAKES LOT'S OF MONEY OF THE BACK OF WORKING AMERICANS.

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT 2.4L 4CYL. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015. THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY IS FOR 36,000 MILES AND AT 41,000 MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE JEEP WOULD NOT WARM UP AND BLEW LUKE WARM AIR ON THE HOTTEST SETTING. THERE WAS ALSO A DRIPPING SOUND HEARD FROM BEHIND THE FRONT DASHBOARD. BEFORE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. DRIVING YOUR JEEP WITH THE ETC LIGHT ON COULD LEAD TO THE COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. I TOOK MY JEEP IN ON SATURDAY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO CONDUCT A DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD LIMITED STAFF THERE FOR THE WEEKEND. THEREFOR I HAD TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY JEEP FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. I RETURNED ON MONDAY AND THEY CHARGED ME $80 TO RUN A DIAGNOSIS. THE RESULT WAS A FAULTY THERMOSTAT. THEY INFORMED ME THEY COULD FIX IT FOR $550-$600 DOLLARS. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER OF MORE THAN 50,000 PARTS ACROSS THE NATION AND IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE WEEKS TO HAVE THE PART DELIVERED. I ORDERED THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING PART AT A COST OF MORE THAN $60. THE PART IS ONLY $20 ON-LINE FROM THEIR PART DISTRIBUTOR, BUT THEY MARKED IT UP ANOTHER $20 AND CHARGED ANOTHER $20 FOR SHIPPING. I WAS INFORMED IT WOULD TAKE 4 HOURS TO REPLACE DUE TO ITS LOCATION AT $118 AN HOUR, PLUS THE COST OF COOLANT. SINCE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY PART, THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME A VEHICLE AND THEREFOR MY JEEP HAS OVERHEATED MULTIPLE TIMES. WITH OVER 50,000 PARTS ON BACK ORDER AND THIS BEING A JEEP MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER.

HAD TO CALL A DEALER AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LOCATE THE PART. ALL THE DEALER SAID THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. IF THE PART IS THAT POPULAR TO REPLACE THAT YOU CANT KEEP IT IN STOCK THAN THERE MOST BE AN ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE IF THIS PART IS CAUSING THE MOTOR TO SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THEIR SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HOPE CHRYSLER WILL NOT JUST LET THE ISSUE GO HOPING THAT PEOPLE JUST DEAL WITH IT THERE SELF. BEEN TO THE GARAGE 3 TIMES AND STILL HAVE 5 YEARS TO PAY FOR IT. IT IS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE THIS STEP.CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE FIRST TIME WAS DISCONNECTED BEFORE I COULD TYPE MY MASSAGE.

TAKATA RECALL THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WHILE SHIFTING IN LOWER GEARS 1-3. THE CAR WILL REV HIGH AND GIVE A JERK BEFORE SHIFTING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN AT A STOP AND YOU BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THIS ALSO OCCURS IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. ALSO, IT EXPERIENCES ISSUES WHEN MERGING INTO A HIGHWAY OR LANE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 35ISH. WHEN MAKING A TURN AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR WILL ALSO HESITATE AND GIVE A LITTLE JERK. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN TRAVELING AT 30-35 THE CAR IS IN 5TH GEAR WHICH IN RETURN WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE IT HAS TO DOWN SHIFT TO TAKE OFF WHICH THERE IS A DELAY BEFORE ACCELERATION OCCURS.

I REMEMBERED RESTARTING THE CAR HELPED, WHICH IT DID, SO I STARTED DRIVING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I GOT ABOUT 1/4 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND STARTED TO SHUT DOWN, WHILE I WAS DRIVING! I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THIS TIME I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SCHOOL BUS!!

RECENTLY ON MY WAY HOME FROM NEW JERSEY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING SERVICE TRANSMISSION THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE I WAS ON THE PARKWAY ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE THEN RESTARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, BUT I REGAINED POWER TO DRIVE. THAT LASTED A MINUTE OR TWO THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TRUCK LOST POWER WAS IN A FAIL SAFE MODE BARELY DROVE ABOVE 30 OR 40MPH. WHAT A LONG, UNSAFE TRIP HOME TO SAY THE LEAST. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK AND HAVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND REPAIRS AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW IT'S APART OF THIS RECALL AND NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS PROBLEM IS THE RECALL, BUT THEY CAN'T FIX IT YET. I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY TRUCK FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS THIS IS AWFUL AND I'M FRUSTRATED AND FED-UP WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WANT OUT OF THIS LEASE ASAP. AND PS THEY PUT ME IN A DODGE DART LOANER CARE ARE YOU KIDDING ME I DRIVE A TRUCK FOR A REASON!

WHY AM I MAKING CAR PAYMENTS FOR A SUV THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE AND ONE WHICH THEY HAVE NOT RESOLVED ISSUES ? HOW CAN CHRYSLER GET AWAY WITH THIS ? AND THIS IS THE AUTO MANUFACTURER THAT OUR GOVERNMENT FINANCIALLY BAILED OUT A FEW YEAR WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS? HOW WOULD CHRYSLER RESPOND IF WE ALL QUIT MAKING PAYMENTS ON OUR LOANS ? I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, SAME JEEP, SAME YEAR, ETC. I AM BECOMING MORE AND MORE CONVINCED THAT CHRYSLER REALLY DOESN'T CARE. THEY GOT THEIR MONEY UPFRONT !

ON 06/04/16, AT 12,600 MILES, THE JEEP FAILED COMPLETELY ON THE FREEWAY. WE WERE DRIVING 50 MPH IN HEAVY SOUTHERN CA TRAFFIC WHEN THE 'TRANSMISSION SERVICE REQUIRED' LIGHT AND THE RED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND WE LOST ALL POWER. THIS HAPPENED INSTANTLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING. WE HAD TO THROW ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND DODGE ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO MOVE OVER 3 LANES TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AT LESS THAN 5 MPH. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE AND WE ARE LUCKY THE JEEP DID NOT CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT! THE TUSTIN JEEP DEALERSHIP DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND SAID IT WAS FINE. FCA HAS REMAINED ADAMANT THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT MECHANICAL, BUT SOFTWARE RELATED AND HAVE RELEASED 3 SOFTWARE PATCHES TO DATE BUT WE SEE NO IMPROVEMENT. ONE WEEK LATER ON 06/13/16 THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL FUNCTIONING POORLY (HARD SHIFTS, UP SHIFTING AS YOU APPLY THE BREAK DOWNHILL, ETC.) AND THEN WE HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM. THE ALARM WENT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, EVEN WHEN THE JEEP'S ENGINE WAS TURNED ON. ONLY AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND PUSHING EVERY BUTTON ON THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES DID IT FINALLY STOP. WE TOOK IT TO PLACENTIA JEEP AND THEY LOOKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND ALARM. AFTER HAVING OUR JEEP FOR A WEEK, THEY DID YET ANOTHER SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND DISCONNECTED THE GPS. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE GPS THAT WAS INSTALLED AT THE DEALER AFTER THE FACT WAS INTERFERING WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED ALARM, AND THAT CAUSED THE ALARM TO GO OFF AT RANDOM. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE WE WERE CHARGED $1295 EXTRA FOR THAT FEATURE AND IT IS NOW DISCONNECTED. THE DEALER ALSO FOUND THAT THE BATTERY POWER WAS BELOW HALF, AND THEY FELT THAT THE RADIO WAS PULLING FROM THE BATTERY EVEN WHEN THE JEEP IS TURNED OFF. THEY FOUND NO RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ASKED US TO RETURN AFTER A WEEK OR TWO TO REASSESS THE PROBLEMS.

SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT WITH THE 2.4 ENGINE AND 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC, IT BEGAN SHIFTING ERRATICALLY. IN TOWN IT WOULD HESITATE WHEN LEAVING A STOP LIGHT OR JERK VIOLENTLY WHILE CHANGING GEARS. ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT ON INCLINES OR TO PASS AND MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. I HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHERE I HAD TO ACCELERATE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN PUTTING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOUR TIMES JUST FOR THIS PROBLEM ALONE AND AS OF THIS WRITING, IS STILL NOT ANY BETTER. IT HAS ALSO HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE THERMOSTAT AND INTERIOR. I WORK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY AND KNOW FROM RESOURCES THAT THIS IS A SIMPLE FIX. FCA IS GIVING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THE RUNAROUND AND ANGERING DEALERSHIPS BY NOT BEING HONEST. THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE WILL NO LONGER MEET THE REPORTED MPG IT WAS CLAIMED TO AFTER THE SHIFT PROFILES CHANGE AND THIS PUTS FCA IN A POSITION THAT VOLKSWAGEN RECENTLY DEALT WITH. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOUSANDS IS NOT WORTH 3 MPG. FCA IS ALSO TREATING CUSTOMERS AS IF EACH CASE IS INDIVIDUALLY UNIQUE AND IT BELITTLES THEM AS WELL AS THE MECHANICS THAT KNOW REPAIRS ARE FUTILE. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER NOW AND ANOTHER APPOINTMENT BUT IT WOULD BE BEST TO AVOID THIS VEHICLE AT ALL COSTS AND ARBITRATE. THERE SHOULD BE A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. THE THERMOSTAT FAILURE IS ALSO WIDESPREAD AND IS ONLY BEING ADDRESSES ONE AT A TIME IN FIELD CLAIMS. THIS TOO COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS DAMAGE AND EVEN FIRE WHICH HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO A FEW OF THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP US BE A VOICE AND STOP THIS SERIOUS DISREGARD FOR SAFETY AND CONSUMER RIGHTS.

THE 2015 VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN CLOSED GARAGE AND KEY FOBS WAS LEFT IN CAR CUP HOLDER. CAR STARTED ITSELF AND DID NOT TURN OFF RAN IN A CLOSED GARAGE FOR OVER AND HOUR. THIS IS A REAL SEVERE ISSUE THAT THE CAR SHOULD HAVE ALARMED OR SHUT ITSELF OFF AFTER 10 MINUTES MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD AND NOT BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT. LUCKILY THIS WAS CAUGHT BEFORE HARM WAS DONE. THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE THAT CAN BE UNDONE. THE CAR ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE IT WOULD REV TO 3-4,000 RPMS WHEN IN PARK AFTER WE PULLED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE. COULDN'T BE DRIVEN AS IT WOULD HAVELOST.CONTROL WITH THE THROTTLE STICKING. CAR DEALER SAYS IT'S FIXED THROTTLE REPLACED AND ALL IS WELL. BUT IT IS NOT I CANNOT PARK THAT CAR IN MY GARAGE AND THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR ME. CAR DEALERS DON'T WORK WITH PEOPLE, THEY JUST WANT TO FIX THE RECALLS AND FOR YOU TO GO AWAY. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE! PEOPLE NEED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY ESPECIALLY WHEN. IT COMES TO CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS.

THE SHIFTING ON THIS CAR IS TERRIBLE AND I'M SURPRISED IT HASN'T CAUSED ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. IT JERKS AND EITHER TAKES FOREVER TO SHIFT OR SHIFTS WAY TO HARD AND TOO FAST. EVEN JUST COASTING IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IT'S A HARD SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. EVERY DRIVE IS AN ISSUE AND WHENEVER I HAVE PASSENGERS THEY ALL COMMENT THAT SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH HOW THE CAR SHIFTS.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAIN HIGHWAY AT 62 MPH. SUDDENLY THE CAR LURCHED AND THE RPM'S SHOT UP TO 4000. THE CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY GOING 70 MPH. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES SO I DIDN'T RAM THE CAR AHEAD OF ME.

SERVICE DEPT. RAN ALL UPDATES AND THE CAR SHUT OFF ON THEM WHILE TESTING IT TOO. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEY SAY IT WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND AR REPLACING THE ENGINE. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS TO THE CAUSE; NEVER GOT A WARNING LIGHT AT ALL AND CAR DOES RESTART AND RUN AFTER IT SHUTS ITSELF OFF. SCARED TO DRIVE IT ONCE I GET IT BACK AGAIN, IT IS REALLY LIKE A DEATH TRAP WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. YOU ARE THE MERCY OF ALL THE DRIVERS AROUND YOU TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY.

I WAS BACKING UP MY DAUGHTERS DRIVEWAY. HER DRIVEWAY IS A LITTLE STEEP AND WHEN I WENT TO GIVE THE JEEP MORE GAS THE RPMS DROPPED FROM 1500 TO IDLE AND THEN BACK TO 1500 RPMS REALLY QUICK, IT DID THIS A COUPLE TIMES. THE DOG ENDED UP ON THE FLOOR OF THE CAR, FRIENDS STANDING OUTSIDE THE CAR THOUGH I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. I FINALLY HAD TO TURN THE JEEP AROUND AND GO UP HER DRIVEWAY IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION. WE WENT OUT TO EAT LATER AND WHEN I CAME BACK I TRIED BACKING UP HER DRIVEWAY AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I TOOK THE JEEP INTO THE DEALER ON 6/29/15 WITH 990 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER UPDATED THE PCM AND TCM AND RETESTED IT BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO FAIL. IT FAILED AGAIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, 2015. AGAIN BACKING UP MY DAUGHTERS DRIVEWAY. I CONTACTED THE JEEP SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID THEY PROBABLY CAN'T FIX IT IF IT DOESN'T SET A CODE. (GREAT) THE JEEP HASN'T FAILED BACKING UP AGAIN BUT IT DID FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN AND NOT RESTARTING. (SEE COMPLAINT #10819212) LIKE OTHER JEEP OWNERS I'VE NOTICED THE JEEP STAYS IN THIRD GEAR TO LONG AT LOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I'VE RESORTED TO DOWN SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION MYSELF SO I CAN HAVE SOME POWER TO MAKE THE TURN WITHOUT GETTING HIT. ( NOTE TO CHRYSLER, I'M A FIRST TIME JEEP BUYER, KEEP DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND YOU CAN FIND YOUR JEEP AT A FORD OR CHEVY DEALERSHIP.......REAL SOON).

MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A YEAR AGO, (12-28-15) APPX, THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS RECENTLY BECAME WORSE THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY. WHEN I'M STOPPED AND THEN BEGIN TO START GOING AGAIN THE CAR HESITATES FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS THEN IT JERKS AND GOES. IT ALSO SEEMS TO DOWNSHIFT ON ITS OWN OR NOT AT ALL.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I PUT THE JEEP'S TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD NOT START. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY SINCE IT WAS VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. I TRIED STARTING THE JEEP WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER IN PARK AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I REMOVED THE KEY FOB FROM THE START/RUN SWITCH AND TRIED LOCKING & UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I TRIED THE REMOTE START BUTTON,AND AGAIN, NOTHING HAPPENED. MY WIFE GAVE ME HER KEY FOB AND THE JEEP STARTED RIGHT UP AND RAN OKAY. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOWING ANY PROBLEMS. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AFTER ANOTHER 10 MINUTES OF TRAVEL I TRIED MY KEY FOB AGAIN AND THE JEEP STARTED OKAY. I USED MY KEY FOB ON THE RETURN TRIP OF 67 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. THERE IS AN UNKNOWN CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT. COULD IT BE THE KEY FOB OR THE ELECTRONICS THAT CONTROL ENGINE RUNNING MODE?

THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW AND NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, IT WOULD ALSO LURCH AND STALL AND SHIFT VERY CLUNKY. 9/21 - HAD THE RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUES. 9/22 - DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHES AND THEN STOPS. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION, CHECK ENGINE AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WERE ALL FLASHING. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED AND WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF ON THE FREEWAY TO "REBOOT" IT AS IT WAS STUCK IN A PARKED POSITION BUT NOT POWERED OFF. 9/24 - EN ROUTE TO GET THE CAR SERVICED, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, IT LURCHES AND STOPPED AGAIN, THIS TIME CAUSING ME TO REAR-END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.

THE NINE SPEED TRANSMISSION IS HORRIBLE AT LOWER GEARS. THE ACCELERATED TRANSITION BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEAR CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP AND LUNGE THE CAR FORWARD. ANOTHER ISSUE IS DURING A YIELD INTERSECTION THE TRANSMISSION EITHER DOESN'T ENGAGE, STAYS AT THE LOWER GEAR OR SLIPS FOLLOW BY A LUNGE. MY FATHER PURCHASED A CHRYSLER SOME 30 YEARS AGO AND VOWED HE WOULD NEVER REPEAT THAT MISTAKE - THE CAR WON'T RUN IN THE RAIN AND TRANSMISSION DROPPED. HE LAUGH WHEN I PURCHASE THE JEEP SHOULD HAVE LISTEN TO HIM. I TOO VOW NEVER TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

TRANSMISSION STALLS ALOT AND IS VERY SLUGGISH , REALLY AFRAID TO LET MY SON RIDE IN THE JEEP BECAUSE IM SCARED WE WILL GET HIT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO POWER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. MY JEEP ALWAYS WOULD NOT START TODAY AND WHEN I TRIED CRANKING IT THE BRAKES FELT LIKE A ROCK AND COULD NOT BE DEPRESSED ,,, THAT COULD REALLY CAUSE A PROBLEM AND GET MYSELF AND OTHERS HURT IF THE BRAKES DID THAT WHILE DRIVING , THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE ROAD THIS ACCURED IN MY DRIVEWAY. SCARED TO REALLY DRIVE THIS JEEP BUT I PAY $940 A MONTH AND YOU WOULD THINK THIS THING WOULD RUN AND DRIVE AND BE SAFE BUT IM NOW WONDERING ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS JEEP SINCE JULY 20 15 AND IT ONLY HAS 1977 MILES ON IT.HOPE THIS INFO MAY HELP OTHERS.

THE POWERTRAIN IS FREQUENTLY UNRESPONSIVE AND THERE IS OFTEN A SIGNIFICANT LAG TIME BETWEEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND RECEIVING ANY RESPONSE FROM THE POWERTRAIN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A FULL STOP. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY BUT OTHER TIMES IT FEELS AS IF IT CAN TAKE A FULL SECOND OR MORE FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. WHILE THIS IS NOT A BIG ISSUE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, THIS HAS BECOME A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE COUNTED ON TO RESPOND AND BEGIN ACCELERATING IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE HAS RESPONDED THAT PROBLEM MAY BE MY DRIVING OR MY INEXPERIENCE WITH THE ACTIVE ASSIST II TRANSMISSION, BUT MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A HYBRID, I KNOW ABOUT ENGINES STOPPING AT SIGNALS. NEVERTHELESS, THE CAR STALLS LESS IF I DISABLE THE ACTIVE ASSIST EVERY TIME THE ENGINE STARTS, ALTHOUGH NOT COMPLETELY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE SYSTEM BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY, BUT THE JEEP IN INOPERABLE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS OCCURRING. THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN STARTING THE CAR OR WHEN THE AUTO START/STOP SEQUENCE OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. THE SCREENS POP UP ON DASH INCLUDING 4WD FAILURE, PARKING BRAKE FAILURE, AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOW BROUGHT THE JEEP IN 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH WITH THE SAME UNRESOLVED TRANSMISSION ISSUE. ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED INTO THE LOCAL DEALER, THE SECOND TIME I DROVE IT IN AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND THE TCM WAS REPLACED. THE THIRD TIME, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPEAT THE ISSUE AND APPARENTLY THE CODES CLEARED. THE INTERESTING PART ABOUT THE THIRD TIME WAS THE FACT THAT UCONNECT SENT ME AN EMAIL WARNING ME OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE VERY LITTLE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS ISSUE WILL NOT REOCCUR. THE KEY TAKEAWAY OF THE ISSUE IS ONCE I RESTART THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES THE TRANSMISSION EVENTUALLY ENGAGES AND THE VEHICLE IS DRIVE ABLE. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT REMAINS ON, BUT WILL CLEAR SOMETIMES.

CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS, GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND THEN WHEN IT FINALLY FINS THE RIGHT GEAR THE WHOLE VEHICLE BUCKS. REPORTED THE PROBLEM IN JANUARY, WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR THE RECALL UPDATE, WHICH DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL JUNE. HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2 MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE IN A NUMBER OR ACCIDENTS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ON TO HIGHWAYS OR PASS SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT MY SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND JEEP IS REFUSING TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HIT THE VEHICLE AND THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING.

THANK YOU!! THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AT 304 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED IN AND THEY ADVISED AT FIRST THAT THE UPPER HEAD OF THE ENGINE BLEW, AFTER SPEAKING WITH MY CUSTOMER RESOLUTION REP (CASE NUMBER: [XXX]) THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AGAIN AND ADVISED IT WAS JUST A BAD SPARK PLUG AND THEY FIXED IT. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THIS SERVICE I TOOK A 200 MILE TRIP TO PA TO VISIT FAMILY AND ON THE WAY BACK FROM THIS TRIP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS AND THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE MEASURING STICK. HAD TO CAR TOWED AGAIN AND THIS TIME BAYSIDE CHRYSLER ADVISED THE O-RING WENT ON THE CAR AND THAT IT WAS REPLACED/FIXED. AFTER THE O-RING SERVICE THE CAR IS STILL LOOSING OIL BUT I CAN'T SMELL IS BURNING AND THERE IS NOTHING UNDER THE CAR AFTER LEAVING A PARKING SPOT. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CAR FIRST STARTS BLUE SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE EXHAUST AND THE ENGINE KNOCKS/TICS A BIT UPON STARTING BUT THAT STOPS AFTER THE OIL HITS THE ENGINE I GUESS. ON 8/5/2015 I STARTED THE CAR AFTER WORK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHING AGAIN AND THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THIS MORNING FOR SERVICE. THE ABOVE COVERS THE ENGINE ISSUES. TWO WEEKS AGO AT A STOP SIGN I STEPPED ON THE GAS BUT THE ENGINE JUST REVVED FOR A FEW SECONDS FOLLOWED BY THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGING. SINCE THEN THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN SHIFTING NORMALLY. THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT FAILED YET BUT IT APPEARS IT'S ON ITS WAY. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 2,400 MILES ON IT. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MANY OTHER ON FORUMS AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE FAMILY'S/SMALL CHILDREN AS DO I. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE CARS.

MINE IS 2015 NEW JEEP CHEROKEE V6 LIMITED MODEL. THE PROBLEMS MAINLY LIE IN THE ZF 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. 1) EXPERIENCED FRONT END WOBBLING WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD GEAR ACCELERATING AT 1750 RPM TO 2000. THE VIBRATION HAPPENS MOST FREQUENT WHEN STARTING FROM UPHILL. 2) THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN EVEN WITHOUT GAS PEDAL ENGAGED WHEN DOWN SHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 3RD OR LOWER GEAR, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES.

PURCHASED 2015 CHEROKEE IN JANUARY, 2015. FIRST RECALL IN FEB 2015. SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR TRANSMISSION AND RAPID RESPONSE TRANSMITTAL. SHIFTING PROBLEMS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER UPDATE. HESITATION FROM A STOP; DELAYED START AND THEN "TAKES OFF"; SURGING FORWARD WITHOUT FOOT ON GAS; SHIFTS UP WHEN COMING TO A STOP WITH FOOT ON BRAKE; CLUNKING NOISE STARTED AT 7000 MILES. TOOK IT IN FOR RECALLS ON AIRBAG AND RADIO SECURITY AND TOLD DEALER ABOUT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE JEEP FOR 2 HOURS. 7 HOURS LATER THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THEY DID SEVERAL SOFTWARE UPDATES (PTU, RDM, DTCM, PCM, BCM); WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP I ASKED FOR DETAILS ON EACH UPDATE. FRUSTRATED WHEN I WAS TOLD IT WOULD "TAKE SOME TIME FOR THE CAR TO LEARN MY DRIVING HABITS." I ASKED, "WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I AM TEACHING MY KIDS HOW TO DRIVE (TWINS THAT WILL BE DRIVING IN A MONTH)?" THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT "THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE REALLY CONFUSED." I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN FOR SAFETY. TOLD HIM I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN OR HESITATE WITH A 5 SECOND OR LONGER DELAY. I ASKED HOW THAT COULD BE SAFE WHEN TEACHING KIDS HOW TO DRIVE. HE DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER. JUST SAID, "I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN." I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT ABOUT 20 MILES SINCE THE UPDATES. NOW IT SHIFTS QUICKLY THROUGH THE FIRST 3 GEARS, STILL HESITATES, AND ROUGH SHIFTING. KEEPING DETAILED RECORDS NOW. I'VE HAD MY JEEP FOR 7 MONTHS (7000 MILES) WITH 3 ACTUAL RECALLS, AND 6 SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT WEREN'T RECALLS, JUST PERFORMED BASED ON MY COMPLAINTS. THE ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION ARE A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND NEVER KNOWING HOW THE JEEP WILL RESPOND...THIS ISN'T SAFE FOR AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. HOW CAN ANYONE SAFELY PUT A NEW DRIVER INTO A CAR THAT HAS THESE TYPES OF ISSUES?

THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE AND RAISE RPM'S (SOMETIMES INCREASES SPEED BY 1MPH) BY ITSELF AT 26MPH WHILE COASTING FROM 30MPH OR GREATER . I'M PRETTY SURE THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING AT THIS POINT, BUT NO CAR I HAVE DROVE WILL ACCELERATE WHILE NOT PRESSING THE GAS. WHEN THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING FROM ANY OTHER SPEED, I CAN FEEL THE DOWNSHIFT HOWEVER THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE LIKE IT DOES AT 26MPH. ONLY AT 26MPH IT ACCELERATES AT THE DOWN SHIFT. SOMETIMES THE ACCELERATION IS GREATER THEN OTHER TIMES, BUT HAPPENS 95% OF THE TIME. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR AND IT NEEDS TO LEARN HOW I DRIVE. WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE IF THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF A CAR, IT IS A VERY UNSAFE ONE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN WHILE I'M EXPECTING IT TO DE-ACCELERATE. A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE ON MY CAR, BUT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED.

THE NEW TRANSMISSION IS NOT MUCH BETTER YET JEEP/CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND CONTINUES TO SELL THE CARS.

I WENT OUT TO START MY CAR AT AROUND 8:40AM ON MAY 28. WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO START IT, I HEARD A POP FOLLOWED BY SMOKE. I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING WAS UNDER THE CAR SO I BACKED UP THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 2 FEET AND THEN TURNED IT OFF. I WENT INSIDE TO GET MY HUSBAND, HE CAME OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD AND I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT STARTED RIGHT UP BUT THERE IMMEDIATELY WAS SMOKE AND FIRE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I TURNED THE CAR RIGHT OFF AFTER MAYBE 5 OR 6 SECONDS. I HAD A MEETING TO GET TO SO I LEFT IN MY HUSBAND'S CAR. WHEN I GOT TO WORK, A RETIRED FIRE FIGHTER SUGGESTED THAT I CALL THE NORWICH TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT. BRIAN BEACH CAME TO INSPECT THE CAR. BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE PLASTIC COVERINGS, IT WAS VERY HARD TO SEE ANYTHING THAT WAS WRONG OTHER THAN MELTED PLASTIC FITTINGS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED (AT MY EXPENSE) TO BYERS ON HAMILTON ROAD. TODAY, I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, RON BROWN, WHO SAID THAT HE DIDN'T THINK THAT THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. HE FEELS THAT THE TENSIONER BELT BROKE AND THAT IS WHY I SMELLED BURNED RUBBER AND THERE WAS SO MUCH SMOKE. EITHER WAY, THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING ANY ISSUES.

I AM WRITING TO EXPRESS A "SAFETY ISSUE" RELATING TO THE PUSH BUTTON START OUR NEW VEHICLE. WHILE WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR VEHICLE, WE RECENTLY HAD A SCARE WITH IT. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE HEARING IMPAIRED & I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY RISK TO HAVE A PUSH BUTTON START VEHICLE AS NUMBER ONE WE PARK OUR JEEP IN OUR ATTACHED GARAGE. IT CAN BE EASY TO FORGET TO PUSH THE ENGINE OFF & IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE ALREADY AND WE WERE LUCKY TO CATCH IT WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES DUE TO GOING BACK OUT TO THE GARAGE TO GET SOMETHING. WE DO HAVE A REMOTE START ON OUR VEHICLE AS WELL. WHEN WE RECENTLY WENT ON VACATION, DUE TO BEING IN A RUSH THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TURNED OFF & IT APPEARS TO HAVE RAN UNTIL IT RAN OUT OF GAS. IT DID START WHEN WE ARRIVED BACK A WEEK LATER, BUT WE DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE GAS STATION BEFORE IT RAN COMPLETELY OUT OF GAS. WHY CAN'T THE ENGINE SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN IF THE KEY FOB IS MORE THAN FIVE OR TEN FEET AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE? (OR SIMILAR WITH THE REMOTE START BEING WITHIN SO MANY FEET TO START, WHY NOT ALSO SHUT DOWN AS WELL AS START?)

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, THE TACHOMETER WOULD INCREASE AS THE JEEP DOWN SHIFTED AND THE JEEP WOULD LEAP FORWARD. INCREASE IN SPEED. DELAYS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN STARTING. WHEN APPLYING THE GAS, THE JEEP WOULD HAVE A 5 - 10 SECOND DELAY IN RESPONSE AND SLOW DOWN INSTEAD OF INCREASING THE SPEED. AS DAYS PAST, THE INCIDENTS WITH THE JEEP LEAPING FORWARD WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE GOT WORSE AND IT GOT TO BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ALMOST REAR ENDED A FEW PEOPLE. HAD TO HAVE JEEP TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE COMPUTER UPGRADE THAT CAME OUT IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR WAS NOT APPLIED TO THIS JEEP BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (CRUISE CONTROL), I RAISED MY RIGHT KNEE WHICH ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE IGNITION KEY WHICH TURNED THE CAR OFF. I TURNED TO KEY TO ON, BUT NO HELP, THEN START POSITION, AGAIN NO HELP. I THEN PUT THE TRANS IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, I COULD NOT SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE I COULD SHIFT INTO DRIVE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD I BEEN IN ONE OF THE MIDDLE LANES OF I-5 NEAR SEATTLE, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT (ME GETTING REAR ENDED). NOTE THAT I ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM LATER.

I PURCHASED A JEEP CHEROKEE 2015 ON MAY 1ST AND STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE START/STOP SYSTEM ON THE 3RD. A PASSENGER AND I WERE COMING TO A STOP AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STOPPED RUNNING. THE CONTROL SYSTEM, WITHIN THE DRIVER'S PANEL, FLASHED START/STOP SYSTEM IS UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE START/STOP SYSTEM. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT DID THIS THREE TIMES BEFORE WE GOT HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AT THIS POINT. I DID NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING AND HOPED TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND THEN TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THAT AFTERNOON. WELL I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT... ON THE WAY TO WORK, ON THE INTERSTATE, I STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE SYSTEM DID THE SAME THING. AS I SPED UP THE GEARS STARTING STICKING, THE CAR WAS STALLING AND I FINALLY HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. ON THE INTERSTATE!!! THE CAR DID THIS ANOTHER FOUR OR FIVE TIMES BEFORE I MADE IT TO WORK AND ANOTHER THREE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED, THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AND NO REPROGRAMMING FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY DID STATE THAT THE CAR HAS A FLASH UPDATE (AKA RECALL), WHICH WAS NOT COMMUNICATED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SO FINALLY TODAY, THURSDAY, MAY 7TH, (3 DAYS LATER) CHRYSLER DECIDED THE CAR NEEDED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION BRAND NEW ANYWAY????? THIS PURCHASE HAS BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING AND I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES. I REALLY HOPE THIS NEW TRANSMISSION FIXES THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HOPE A SERIOUS RECALL IS COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT! *TR

WHILE DECELERATING IN DRIVE WITH THE FOOT OFF THE GAS, OR UNDER LIGHT GRADUAL BRAKING, WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS AS THE CAR SLOWS BETWEEN 25 AND 20 MPH, ENGINE SPEED INCREASES IN THE LOWER GEAR AND THE CAR ACCELERATES SLIGHTLY.THIS ACCELERATION, WITH THE FOOT OFF THE GAS AND WHEN ONE EXPECTS THE CAR TO BE SLOWING DOWN, THOUGH RELATIVELY MILD, IS NONETHELESS DISCONCERTING AND PERHAPS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH THE DEALER FOR MARCH 30 2015. COINCIDENTALLY, BETWEEN THE TIME THE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT, THE CUSTOMER RECEIVED A MAILED RECALL NOTICE FROM JEEP REGARDING AN UPGRADE TO SOFTWARE FOR THE NINE-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ON MARCH 30 THE DEALER ATTEMPTED THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND REPORTED THAT WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT, THE TRANSMISSION THEN WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, AND THE CAR WOULD ONLY OPERATE IN "LIMP" MODE.

I PURCHASED A 2015 CHEROKEE SPORT IN OCTOBER 2014. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTED SEVERAL RECURRING PROBLEMS. HAVING NEVER OWNED A BRAND NEW I THOUGHT PERHAPS THERE WAS SOME EARLY MILE GROWING PAINS BUT THESE PROBLEMS PERSIST. THE SCREEN MALFUNCTIONS AT WILL; SOMETIME THE REAR CAMERA IS ENGAGED WHEN DRIVING FORWARD, THE SCREEN LOCKS ON THE DISCLOSURE/ACCEPTANCE PAGE. VOICE RECOGNITION/COMMAND HAS NEVER WORKED. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP (REMINDS ME OF AN UNRULY DOG ON A LEASH TRYING TO LEAP FORWARD). DELAYED ACCELERATION WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED CAUSING IT TO SUDDENLY LEAP INTO MOTION RISKING HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU IN CITY TRAFFIC (I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES ? THIS IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING) OR A WALL BEHIND YOU (I BACK INTO MY PARKING SPACE). WHEN PARALLEL PARKING OR IN A 3 POINT SCENARIO (D-R-D) THE CAR, ALTHOUGH CLEARLY PLACED IN THE REVERSE THE CAR WILL ROLL FORWARD BEFORE REVERSING. OFTEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE, WAITING SEVERAL SECONDS (4 TO 5) BEFORE RELEASING THE BREAK WILL DO THE TRICK BUT JUST AS OFTEN, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. GEAR TRANSITIONS ARE SLOPPY. THIS CAR DOES NOT SHIFT IT LUNGES. I'M SURPRISED THE [XXX] THING DOESN'T BITE ALTHOUGH IT TRIES. I THOUGHT THESE WERE MY PET PEEVES BUT IT APPEARS I AM NOT ALONE. I WISH I HAD READ THESE EARLIER COMPLAINTS. I WOULD HAVE RETURNED IT TO POST HASTE. I HATE THIS CAR BUT AM NOT IN THE FINANCIAL POSITION TO BUY ANOTHER. PURCHASED FROM A DEALER 50 MILES AWAY (BEST PRICE) HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TAKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE FINALLY SCHEDULED 2-DAYS OFF FROM WORK TO TAKE IT IN. I WISH I WAS IN THE POSITION TO NOT JUST DROP IT OFF BUT LEAVE IT THERE. IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD NOT HESITATE. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FOR THE PAST WEEK MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP; CONTINUOUS SCREEN/RADIO MALFUNCTIONING/ UNINTENDED CAR ACCELERATION/ COMPUTER SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, ETC. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY OR ACCEPTING THEIR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO 'UPDATE' MY VEHICLES SYSTEM TO CORRECT THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS. THE MANAGER WENT ON TO TELL ME HOW MY CAR IS "REJECTING" THE NEW PART THEY TRIED TO INSTALL. I DID NOT KNOW VEHICLES HAD THE ABILITY TO 'REJECT' MECHANICAL PARTS. HE SAID THEY HAD TO CONTACT CHRYSLER TO FIND OUT HOW TO FIX MY VEHICLE; I TRULY THOUGHT THE "CHRYSLER" DEALERSHIP WAS CHRYSLER AND MECHANICS THERE WERE TRAINED TO FIX ALL OF CHRYSLERS VEHICLES, SHAME ON ME. AT THIS POINT I AM TRULY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING HOW TO REPAIR THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS WITH A 2015 MODEL. I ALSO NOTICED THE JEEPS STARTING WITH 1C4PJ SEEMS TO HAVE ALL THE PROBLEMS. WITH CHRYSLER NOTICING IT AS WELL, WHY NOT JUST REPLACE THE JEEPS SOLD IN THAT BATCH? *TR

I NOTICED MY MOTOR WAS SURGING(REFINE UP) WHEN I WOULD BREAK AND THEN EVENTUALLY BREAK WHEN I CONTINUED TO BREAK. SO I TOOK TO STETLER DODGE YORK PA AND THE SAID THEY WEREN'T SURE BUT THERE WERE FLASH UPDATES THAT NEEDED DONE IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSMISSION SO THEY NEEDED TO KEEP THE JEEP. THEY KEPT THE JEEP CALLED AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED REPLACED SO THEY REPLACED. I PICK UP THE CAR DRIVE IT LESS THAN 5 MILES AND THE AUTO SHUT DOWN ALARM STARTED GOING OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE ALAR, WENT OFF. THE CAR THEN BEGINS TO REV AND WILL NOT SHIFT ITS AT 40 MPH AND AT 5 RAMS. THE AUTO START NO LONGER WORKS ECT... THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR I AM PAYING FOR AND WHEN I TAKE IT FOR THESE ISSUES THEY NOW TELL ME THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS CAR IS TURNING INTO A LEMON QUICK. TWICE IN THE SHOP AND OWN IT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. *JS

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE 2.4L. JEEP HAS LESS THAN 200 MILES. CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE DECELERATING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. CAR WOULD SLIGHTLY ACCELERATE AND THE RPM'S WOULD JUMP FROM AROUND 1400 TO 2000 WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD THE CAR FOR 1.5 DAYS AND SAID THAT I HAD THE MOST RECENT "FLASH" AFTER DRIVING OFF THE LOT THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. CAR WILL LUNGE/ACCELERATE AND RPM'S JUMP WHILE DECELERATING AND FOOT IS OFF THE GAS PEDAL. *TR

AFTER SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE MOST PART OF MY DAY, I LEFT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I CAME TO GET FIXED. HOWEVER, IN ADDITION TO MY RADIO NOT FUNCTIONING; WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED AFTER THIS MY SECOND UPGRADE IN 2 WEEKS, THERE WAS THE ADDITIONAL MATTER OF MY ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP FROM HAVING MY RADIO 'FIXED'. SO I FIND MYSELF BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR MY RADIO THAT WAS NOT FIXED THE YESTERDAY AND MY ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON AFTER LEAVING THEM THE DAY BEFORE. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, HE SAID THE RADIO IS GETTING ANOTHER UPDATE; APPARENTLY THE UPDATE YESTERDAY AND LAST WEEK WASN'T ENOUGH. ALSO, NOW I NEED THIS DETRIMENTAL ENGINE PART THAT MYSTERIOUSLY WENT BAD OVER NIGHT. HE SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. I INFORMED HIM HOW UNCOMFORTABLE I AM WITH THAT SUGGESTION SINCE MY FIRST VISIT WAS FOR THE RADIO AND THE CAR ACCELERATING BY ITSELF OUT OF NOWHERE. CURRENTLY, I AM IN PRAYER HOPING THE HUMANITY SETS IN AND THEY DON'T SEND ME ON MY WAY IN A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. PRAY FOR ME. *TR

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TODAY SHE NOTICED WHEN TRYING TO FIND A PARKING SPOT, THE ENGINE SPEED INCREASED WITHOUT FOOT ON GAS PEDAL, SHE HAD TO HARD BRAKE TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP. I TOOK IT OUT TONIGHT AND AS I WAS IN CITY TRAFFIC THE JEEP WOULD RACE UP TO 2000 RPMS WHEN FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I HAD TO PRESS ON BRAKE HARDER THAN NORMAL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO NOT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. CALLED DEALERSHIP TO REPORT PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I AM SCARED FOR ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. *TR

2015 CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4 CYL. HAVE HAD VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS, DURING THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. ACCELERATING DURING BRAKING, WHICH IN AND OF ITSELF IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN, IF YOU NEED TO TURN AT 10 MPH AND THE CAR ACCELERATES PAST 25 YOU ARE LOOKING AT AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. LAG IN DOWNSHIFT WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, LOUD UN EXPLAINED CLUNK WHILE PLACING INTO PARK, NUMEROUS ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATIONS. CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED TO WAIT A FEW DAYS TO SEE IF WARNING LIGHT RESETS ITSELF BEFORE BRINGING IN. THE TRANSMISSION NEVER SEEMS TO ACTUALLY SHIFT INTO 9TH GEAR, WHICH INTURN HAMPERS THE FWY MILEAGE CLAIMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE. IVE NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE EXCEED 240 DEGREES ON NUMEROUS TIMES, THIS CANNOT BE GOOD. I WILL BE TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER, HOPEFULLY IN AN EFFORT TO GET THIS RESOLVED. WITH ALL OF THE REVIEWS AND PROBLEM, WILL IT TAKE AN UNFORTUNATE FATALITY FOR CHRYSLER TO ACTUALLY RESOLVE THIS, AS IN THE CASE OF THE TOYOTA ACCELERATION PROBLEMS? *TR
