2017 JEEP CHEROKEE Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that upon starting and driving the vehicle, the 4WD and engine warning lights were illuminated. While driving at 45 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and shut off. There was an abnormal grinding sound coming from the vehicle while turning. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000 (Power Train). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer several times, but the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact reached out to Chapman Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Scottsdale (3800 N 89th St, Scottsdale, AZ 85251); but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the check engine warning light illuminated was due to an issue with the PTU. The manufacturer was contacted and offered a possible rental. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

on 11/1/25 we were driving our Jeep and it malfunctioned while at a stop light. We heard a loud "clunk" and the car would barely go and if we tried to put in park, it would continue to roll. We were on top of a hill so thankfully we didnt roll back or into traffic. We could not drive the car and had to have it towed since it was not safe to drive. Our Jeep is at an authorized Jeep dealer since 11/3/25 and we were told the issue was a power transfer unit that would be covered on the recall but the part was on backorder until 12/2. Jeep would only cover $50/day for a car rental, so we had to rely on borrowing cars from others. Once 12/2 came, we reached out to the dealership and they said the part ship date was moved to 12/18! This is not a timely manner. We have made at least 3 calls to Jeep over the past week, and they keep telling us since 12/10/25 that they will let us know in 2 days...2 days pass and they transfer our case. Another two days pass and still no call from them so I called them back and they have yet to call me. We had our Jeep in the week of 11/17 or 11/24 for inspection and it passed. We noticed some lagging when we were going up hills in the 1-2 rpm range but mechanic did not notice it. Between the inspection and when it finally broke down, no lights came on and there were no warning messages. Not until the car broke down on 11/1.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 5 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle stalled. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was determined that the PTU was the cause of the failure. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V011000 (Power Train). The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were on backorder. The contact called another local dealer, Colonial South Chrysler Ram Jeep and Dodge (42 State Rd, Dartmouth, MA 02747), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

My car is jerking when driven and enabling the park brake while driving. There is a recall on other similar models. I purchased this vehicle brand new and within the same year, had the engine replaced by the manufacturer due to mechanical issues. Please assist in getting this PTU fixed not at my expense. The dealership is telling me $3k but I feel this should be covered due to other recalls and the fact that this motor was replaced shortly after purchasing the car.

Engine oil cooler has cracked and failed 1 month out of 1 year warranty. Cracks due to cold temperatures and warming up engine. Leaks oil all over and engine coolant.

Engine cooler failed again 1 month out of 1 year warranty. Causes coolant to leak everywhere and engine oil. Happens due to colder outside temperatures and warming of the engine.

Orlando Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep Dealership states there is no remedy for this issue, therefore they wanted to charge me $5,749.28 for parts and labor to fix the issue. My jeep is running hot even though there are no leaks. I cannot lock or unlock the four-wheel drive system. Alerts continually being shown on the dash to check shifter and 4x4 not available. This has been going on for almost a year.

Service Shifter light came on dash, all gears on shifter , red lights came on. I was driving at 55 mph and could tell the car wasn’t accelerating and was slowing down . That’s when I noticed the Service Shifter light on dash. I was in a lot of traffic and couldn’t safely pull over , I was almost rear ended by the car behind me. I coasted to the side of the road and turned car off and back on . The light went off . This was yesterday , today I start the car and it starts rough ( which it usually doesn’t ) and the service shifter light is back on. This is a very serious , dangerous and possibly deadly issue . I was so scared when it happened as I had no control of speed of the vehicle . I see many , many reports on this issue for several years and it shows past repairs have not corrected the issue. A recall should be issued ASAP before someone gets hurt or dies from this very common problem . Customers should not have to pay to repair and issue that has been reported thousands of times for many years . Please give direction on how to get this properly and fully fixed . I am afraid to drive the vehicle for fear of a traffic accident .

While driving my car it loss power in the middle of the busy intersection the lights got dim in the car while I was at the stop light and the car just shut off I could not put on the hazardous lights or anything to alarm the cars behind me …I had to call a tow truck driver to move the vehicle I couldn’t even get the key out of the ignition neither could the tow truck driver …had the vehicle towed to my home when the vehicle reached my home the car then started back up …this was dangerous because some could have team into the back of me

Noticed the "Service Shifter" Light came on and lights blinking next to the shifter started flashing then the Jeep starting shaking violently and loss of power started to slow the vehicle down, pulled over and shut it off and restarted and drove home- " Service Shifter" light still comes on - we just pull over and shut engine off and restart. Jeep Dealership is no help

I purchased a 2017 certified pre-owned Jeep Cherokee from a Jeep dealership in March 2020. Starting in late 2022/early 2023, while driving, everything electrical would shut off and stop functioning without warning (dashboard, radio, air or heat if on, lights near gear shift, could not use hazard lights, turning signal, or power windows), and shortly after the engine would die, leaving me stalled in the middle of the street. I would then have to put the car in park, turn the car off and turn it back on. I took it to 2 Jeep dealerships in Michigan where I was living at the time and they refused to look further than scanning the car to determine if any codes appeared and found no codes. This started happening more frequently in summer 2023 and I took it to a dealership in Indiana; no hard codes came up again and they were unable to replicate the issue. They found some worn wiring with the radio and replaced the radio, hoping it would resolve the issue (invoice attached). This issue started occurring again [XXX] more frequently than before (4 times in a 15-minute window) - this time I was on the highway and had no way to signal the cars behind as I could not use the turning signal or hazard lights and the electrical and engine cut off simultaneously without warning, almost causing a serious accident. The car has been at the dealership for 2 weeks now, and they are unable to replicate the issue; therefore, unable to provide a diagnosis. There was a safety recall for 2017-2018 Jeep Cherokees for the PTU (documentation attached), but my VIN doesn't fall within that recall. Therefore, I am filing a safety report to initiate an investigation for this issue, as this is a significant safety risk and has the potential to cause a fatal accident for myself as a driver and others on the road. This is happening quite often with the Jeeps ranging from 2014-2021 per Jeep forums (documentation attached), and no one has found a solution.

While driving, multiple warning alerts appeared on my dashboard, including “Service Airbag,” “Service Four Wheel Drive,” “Service Shifter,” “Service ABS,” “Traction Control Off,” and “Check Engine Light.” Shortly after, the vehicle lost power and became immobile, preventing me from moving it to the side of the road. The parking brake engaged automatically and could not be disengaged. Additionally, the windshield wipers activated without being turned on. These issues rendered the car unsafe and unmovable. I called a tow truck, but the vehicle was towed before it arrived, leading to further costs and complications. The malfunctioning systems pose significant safety risks, including the failure of critical components like the airbag and ABS. The loss of power and inability to move the vehicle caused a hazardous situation, and I was unable to take preventive action. I request an investigation into whether this issue should be considered a recall. The situation raises serious concerns about the safety and reliability of the vehicle’s components.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 15 MPH, the vehicle lost power and stalled. The battery warning light was illuminated, with the message “Shift to Park or Neutral – “Depress Brake Pedal and Select Gear” displayed. The drive indicator light was blinking, and the battery was red. The vehicle was taken for an oil change, and the messages were no longer displayed; however, the failure recurred months later. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, and the contact was informed that the power transfer unit had lost power; the vehicle turned off with the message to shift to park displayed. The contact stated that the failure occurred frequently. The contact stated that the vehicle stopped within 2 miles. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was repaired under an undisclosed recall. The vehicle had not been repaired for the most recent failure. The contact believed that the vehicle should be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

My 2017 has experienced multiple loss of power events( two on the highway!). The vehicle’s transmission will disengage and I will have to coast to the side of the road. My ignition is still on but have been told previously that my PTU needs replacing. I will have the amber service transmission light illuminated but only after having transmission disengage. This power failure is a extremely serious safety issue- now the local Jeep dealers have “no fix” and I am having to rent a car because of this safety issue.

Have a problem with my call losing all power in my jeep while sitting at an intersection waiting for the light to change. Almost got rear-ended cause my car just suddenly lost power. Power finally came back in 20 or 30 seconds but I had people honking horns and I'm was frazzled. Now I have this Service Shifter error on my dashboard and the PNDR lights all are on and red..Came on Jeep automakers. Do better!!

Due to the limit on text characters I have attached the 17-page document explaining the safety issues.

Reference service bulletin 20V-343 / W47 Recall Summary (Differential unit) 2 Speed Power Transfer Unit failed (Transfer Case) PTU My wife was driving down the freeway at 65 MPH when the until failed. This was during heavy rains and while the car was hydroplaning. The four wheel drive system kicked in and then the unit failed. She heard a loud clunk and then unit the unit forced itself into neutral. This could have cause the car to spin out of control, but she was able to recover. Wife did not capture error message that occurred during the incident, but it said something about putting the car in neutral. once she was able to stop in the emergency lane on the freeway she came to a complete stop and put the car in park. She was exiting the vehicle and the car started to roll even though the car was in park. She quickly applied the brakes and was able to engage the ebrake. The car is currently at the mechanic for inspection.

I’m not the only one with the same issues. I know a lady who has the same problem with her vehicle and has been quoted thousands of dollars to fix it. Cylinders and engine housing.. anti freeze leak.. and then expect us to pay expensive car payments.

Vehicle is putting up a code for “service shifter” while driving, which turns off when the car is turned off. Code does not read for dealerships to fix issue. it is reoccurring and we are concerned as we have seen a 2017 jeep Cherokee wreck out after throwing this code and “locking up the engine”. We are secondhand owners of this jeep and believe the previous owner sold this car because of said issue because it came up within a month of us purchasing the car.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle shutoff inadvertently. The contact stated that the service shifter message was displayed. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle shutoff but was restarted. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was due to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V302000 (Power Train).

I was driving up bridge in morning rush traffic suddenly without warning lost drive cv axel on passegner side broke and had to be towed. I called 911 and the police tried to put car in drive and car would just roll back and it almost went into the unit. when the car suddenly stopped I was just lucky no one ran into me, I was in the middle of the road & could not move the car.

I was driving my 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude 2.4L, car won't start, I have oil pressure sensor to warn me when low doesn't alert me at all, only time is when I realized a beep when I made turns and would indicate oil pressure low! I can't get my car to stop and it stalled on me while driving with no indication of low oil, and I have two kids and could have been very bad, since no power no breaks no steering!

When driving my vehicle going 30 miles per hour the car stopped by itself and gave error message “ Shift to park or neutral Press brake or select gear” . I have to put my car in park and try and restart the vehicle. This has happened 4 times with in the last week.

On [XXX] my 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude experienced full power failure while driving, resulting in an uncontrolled stopped with lack of power brakes, steering or other electrical assistance while in middle of road with traffic traveling 20 mph just avoiding impact with car in front of me. Had I been on highway or traveling faster I may have encountered a deadly impact to rock walls on road or surrounding traffic or oncoming traffic. There is a recall listed [XXX] Campaign number [XXX]. I have made a complaint to JEEP 800-853-1403 who noted my vin with case number [XXX]. My jeep vin is not included in recall notice but clearly should be and covered for repair under [XXX] . My Jeep regained power 5 min later and I drove it knowing unsafe to repair shop where it sits. My Vin should be added to the already listed appx 67k jeeps 2014-2017 year. I also have MOPAR extended warranty. I will not drive my jeep for obvious reasons until the repair is made. This is a potential deadly issue that needs to be extended to the currant recall listing. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving the suv will turn off. It has happened multiple times. Recently I was stuck in an interception after making a turn. It has happened before and a “service shifter” light came on. But this time no additional lights came on and suv would not turn back on

The car randomly activated the Electronic Parking Break and it will not disengage. I have disconnected the Battery hoping to reset the module but that did not work. This car will also randomly refuse to start or shut down. Only resetting the ECM/PCM will clear the error and get the car moving again. This is a safety concern because the Ebrake may engage while moving at high speeds. There is a warning light indicating that Ebrake needs service. There is also an unknown leak coming in from the roof and running towards the back lift gate. Water will pool in the storage section to the left and right of rear lift gate.

There was already a recall on the make and model of my car, Jeep Cherokee Latitude; however, when I search by VIN it shows zero unrepaired recalls. So if the problem is fixed (no one even attempted to fix my car), why does my car still shut off in the middle of driving? When it shuts off I can’t turn the wheel, Can’t put it in park, and the gas and brakes/ABS don’t work. This has happened many times with my daughter, currently 4yo, in the car; why do I have to risk my life every single time we need to go somewhere? Every single dealership and mechanic I’ve brought it to says there is nothing wrong with the car, yet it continues to shut off while driving… I did crash the first time it happened, but it was in a snow storm and possibly unrelated? No injuries or damage.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle stopped independently. The contact parked, and restarted the vehicle however, the failure persisted.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil and the engine was replaced. The contact stated that several years later while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle shut off without warning. The contact stated that the failure occurred for a second time soon after restarting the vehicle. The contact drove back to the dealer and the vehicle remained at the dealer for approximately 2 months. Once the vehicle was returned to the contact, the vehicle shut off again; the vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The dealer replaced the power software module and returned that vehicle back to the contact. Soon after retrieving the vehicle, the instrument panel went blank, and the vehicle shut off again without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and then back to the dealer; however, neither the independent mechanic nor the dealer could determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 26,000.

Service shifter notification/warning comes on randomly. When this warning is on, all of the lights on the gear shift light up (p,r,n,d). The engine feels like it is slipping, and the vehicle will drive slowly & is very loud. The gas pedal can be pressed completely to the floor and the car will not accelerate fast enough. The airbag and parking braking notification flash as well. Check engine light comes too.

While driving the service shifter warning has come on. The car will drive like it is not in the correct gear, and all the gear shift lights come on. It does not want to accelerate. If the warning comes on when starting up, the Jeep will not allow me to shift from park. It has to be shut off and restarted after waiting a few minutes. The auto stop-start no longer works. (It’s the feature that helps to cut emissions that usually engages when at a signal light.). While researching, I found out that Mopar has recalled some Cherokee models, but not mine.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the contact had heard an abnormal noise. The vehicle had started overheating. The vehicle was hesitant to accelerate and the steering had become firm. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was due to a faulty shifter vessel and ECU jumper harness. The vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,808.

Shifter alarm and need to stop the car to reset. Terrible on the highway engine will shut down. Temperature overheating stopped car working.

In the first incident, the engine stalled. Next incident, warning lights on the dash appeared (engine light, traction light, and throttle control) and when pressing on the gas peddle, the car would not respond (would not increase speed). I had to put on flashers to a warn car behind me. Very scary. Bringing in for service ASAP.

The Service Shifter light came on and keeps coming on sporadically. I was dismayed to learn that there are numerous complaints regarding the Service Shifter light on the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. Has this ever been formally addressed.

I did have an incident in July of 2022, my car would not get out of park. I was in a drive through and put my car in park. When I went to put my car in drive. The vehicle completely shut off and began to roll backwards. The next set of issues, I first noticed the issues in the beginning of 2023. The service 4wd light is on and the parking brake will not engage. The 4wd itself works just fine, each terrain mode will engage. So Ilderton Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (High Point, NC), looked at my vehicle and said the PTU was bad and needs to be replaced. This passed weekend, I was driving entering a highway via acceleration lane and my car had trouble switching speed limits. Which leads me to believe the necessary power was not able to perform. This is detrimental to the safety of myself and others. Should my car's brakes fail or car lose power; it could seriously injure myself, innocent people in the vicinity of my car, or mechanics working on my car, etc. I work at a Pediatric office and would hate for the brakes to fail at work. Chrysler has already recalled 96,000 Jeep Cherokees for the exact same issue. Due to this, the PTU is back ordered and cannot be located anywhere in the US.

The car sometimes jumps, propels forward, possibly transmission related issue, and just happens randomly.

Just bought this jeep used in Nov 2022 a week ago it kept stalling just shutting down on me I could be a stop sign or just driving this is very dangerous someone could run into me. Took it to mechanic was told it was 3quarts low in oil but the oil light doesn’t come on or anything and I’ve only had the car 3 months so they would have checked oil since they do a multi point inspection

W84 Powertrain Software- July 30 2022 Jerry Seiner Casa Grande Dealership technicians inspected and reprogram the PCM and TCM software and closed the recall but 2 months later all the lights on my dashboard came on check engine light service shifter park brake etc. I went back to the dealership and the advisor told me to go to the dealership where I bought it from. I ended up going to Larry Miller Chrysler Jeep Avondale in Arizona. The vehicle was braking on its own while driving high speeds on the highway and while driving I almost crashed. My vehicle was in and out of the dealership many times and the technicians didnt seem to know what was wrong with the vehicle. Almost 6 months after the initial problem it seems its fixed. 01/13/2023 was the last time I had to return because the dashboard lights were turning on after driving the vehicle an estimate of 100 miles.

Leaking a lot of oil to the point I had to refill every week.

When driving my jeep the dashboard will randomly give me a warning to service my shifter and all of the lights on shifter will go red. I have to turn my jeep off and back on for the lights to go back to normal. I have had to replace the power transfer unit due to the 4 wheel drive not working anymore. I took my car into the dealership to the PCM W84 Recall and two weeks later my transmission fluid exploded and the engine was smoking. Had to replace the heat ignition coil and the inlet hose. Paid $2,000 to repair and a week later my check engine light came on and now my car is overheating. Took it to the dealer and they added coolant and said it was an air bubble in the coolant. A couple of days later the issue happened again, took it in two more times and they filled the coolant, but now saying that the cylinder head gasket needs to be replaced which is another $1,700.

While driving the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly stops running without any warning. Engine stops. Car just coasts. PRNDL indicator (D for drive) on instrument cluster flashes instead of a constant D. Then some sort of messages comes up similar to "shift to neutral to start engine". Car will not restart. Car coasts to stop without power and no power steering. Then I need to turn ignition off. I will then cycle locks (locked then unlocked). Then turn on ignition. From here the car attempts to start but it is not an immediate start up like normal. The gauge needles (speedometer and tachometer) both go all the way to the right while the car attempts to restart but this startup takes about 10+ seconds of attempted cranking to finally restart. This is a long clicking sound before restart. This has happened 3-4 times now in the 30 days. Most recently on a main road where I had to coast without power and power steering to the shoulder. I have not yet been to the dealer. Car is out of warranty.

When accelerating the vehicle has a hard shift every now and then that’s very noticeable. Seems to be slipping or having trouble shifting occasionally when trying to get up to speed.

Vehicle turns on but will not start. Changed battery and spark plugs

UNKNOWN. When driving my Jeep there will be times where I go to accelerate and my transmission will jump. Also while I’m driving all of my gears on my shifter will turn red and a message will pop up saying service shifter. It’s been happening for a few years but the last time it happened was today 7/22/2022.

On numerous occasions the car engine just shuts off or loses power. This happens consistently. The car has been taken to the dealership where it was purchased and was told "could not duplicate problem". This just happened again yesterday on a main street posted at 45 mph, where engine just shut off. Making left turns has become a gamble as power response is not there. This is a dangerous situation.

The incident happened in a parking lot. Backing out of the parking space, there was a delivery truck parked right behind me. Backing out of my parking space, I hit the bumper of the truck (no damage to the truck). As I pulled back into my parking space the vehicle accelerated very rapidly in a distance of approx. 25 feet; the acceleration seemed "Hell cat" like. Slamming my foot on the brake did not help. The vehicle then hit a brick retaining wall deploying multiple air bags and causing enough vehicle damage that the insurance company declared it totaled. It is amazing that the vehicle hit the brick wall with enough intensity to deploy the air bags and cause considerable front end damage after traveling such a short distance (approx 25 ft). The vehicle is in the insurance company's possession. As such, I do not have access to the vehicle. Had the brick wall not been there, the vehicle could have hit other vehicles or pedestrians and I was lucky to only have minor bruises and abrasions. There was no warning what so ever that this was about to happen.

The 'service shifter' code keeps showing up. The car shifts and drives fine when it happens but it concerns me because I've read where a few people have had the car accelerate by themselves when this happens.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH across a bridge, several unknown warning lights illuminated and the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact was assisted by a Police Officer to move the vehicle into a service station. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle was driven to a dealer where the warning lights again reappeared. The vehicle received unstated repairs, but remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Mileage: 60,000

The engine consumes a large amount of oil. I regularly have to add 1qt/ 800-100 miles. The engine will just stall if the oil level gets too low without any warning. In Alaska this poses an extreme hazard, especially in the winter.

The car will shut off unexpectedly while driving. This is extremely dangerous. This is the 6th time in the last 3 years that this has happened.

Engine and car was not warming up with remote start. Finally check engine light comes on. Code P0128 thermostat. Repaired 1/28/2021 @ 85762 miles. All antifreeze replaced. $600+ repair. 2/1/2022 same observed failure of engine to warm up during remote starts. 2/6/2022 check engine light comes on with code P0128. Again, thermostat failure. Miles 111,000. This appears to be a repetitive symptom of cherokees 2014+ with 2.4L engines. This can cause serious engine damage.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle inadvertently stalled without warning. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

Mileage: 63,000

Heater hose broke while on the freeway causing all of the antifreeze to leak out and car to overheat with no warnings signs. Car started shaking and I pulled over and it shut off. Turns out the heater hose is made with two tubes connected toghether and the hose broke where the connect.

When stopping to turn the engine cut out while we were attempting to turn left. The car then alerted us to put the car into neutral to start ( Shift To Park Or Neutral Press Break + Select Gear.) We attempted to do as much in the middle of the intersection we were stuck in, posing a safety risk since we were in the middle of a left hand turn with on coming traffic. The lights, radio and dash were working at this point. We put the car into neutral and pushed it safely out of intersection and attempted to restart the engine, at this point the engine wouldn't turn over and there were no alerts. I called AAA for assistance. The service man who came out jumped my battery and got the car started. He informed me he gets many calls about Jeep Cherokees doing this and if a jump doesn't work he ends up towing the vehicle. I was able to drive the Jeep Cherokee back home since I didn't live too far away but as soon as I turned off my vehicle and tried to restart it the engine refused to turn over again and I got a check engine light. I attempted to start the Jeep Cherokee the next morning and was given a change oil soon message but nothing else, the engine wouldn't turn over, I called AAA for a tow to the mechanic. The next day the mechanic called me letting me know the car started right up for him and he changed my oil. He then ran diagnostics to see if anything came up. Nothing did, he also test drove it three times and started it six times to make sure it was running and told me that everything seemed OK but he read online that low oil levels will make Cherokee engines abruptly stop working. He advised me to check my oil before starting my car every time and report the issues here.

Drove approximately two miles and stopped the vehicle. Less than five minutes later start the car again. After three to five seconds the engine stalled. Vehicle was parked in a flat parking lot. It was about 55 degrees and clear this morning. I can no longer count the number of times this has happened on my hands.

After the vehicle stalled I waited a minute and tried to start the vehicle again. The engine started and came up with the error "Service Shifter." The status lights for all the gears were red. The vehicle was parked on a flat parking lot and it was 55 degrees outside. The vehicle had previously run fine a few minutes before.

After turning the key in the ignition the engine will start. After three to five seconds the engine stalls out.

Engine mounts broke and engine drop on excel dealership say mounts broke no warning light just heard a thump going about 25 mph then loud noise and rough engine. afraid to drive any further had a burn smell called tow truck sent to dealer.

answers to the question and detailed description is below - the car completely shutdown while driving. - as the car shutdown while driving in the traffic, it was a major safety concern. - yes, service center told me it is just due to the battery - yes, by the authorized service center - no warning is appeared before the incident. I have a 2017 Cherokee purchased 2.5 years ago, 25.000 km and having regular service every 6 months. Just 100 km after i serviced the car, it shutdown while driving !!! The authorized service checked the car and the issue was just the battery. Generally when you have battery issue the car will not start without a jumper / booster but will not shutdown while driving at all. For Cherokee, it shutdown while driving !. Jeep service manager informed me that due to the used technology Cherokee can shutdown while driving when the battery finish (which is generally not the case in other cars). When i asked why the manufacturer didn't get any precaution for this, they mentioned that only Grand Cherokee has auxilary battery as a precaution and it is not obliged by the government and they just get some cases which is not enough to make a recall.

Service shifter warning. Car stalled twice. It has 45 k miles only. Won't start on first try.

My service shifter light came on and all the lights on the shifter console came on (PRND21). At first, I could turn the car off to reset it. This was dangerous because I had to pull over wherever I was. As time has gone on it pretty much stays on. My car has 33000 miles on it but is past the 3-year mark. I took it to the dealership and they told me the previous years had this problem but was recalled. It cost me $500.00 to replace a plastic bezel. I have saved all dealership repair paperwork. The dealership confirmed this is a very common problem.

I received an engine shutoff signal which disabled the car immediately without prior warning. It was due to the protection signal for low oil. The vehicle had a oil change 5,000 miles prior with synthetic oil. Over the course of 5,000 miles it "burned" the oil to the point of low level. Upon discovery, I noted many customer complaints (online) of this issue. There was no prior warning to the low oil level (no low pressure light or indicator.) I purchased this vehicle for my daughter and had she been driving on a busy highway, it would have disabled her car without any power to safely navigate this from the road, probably leading to a major accident. A newer vehicle with no mechanical issues does not "burn" oil excessively, this is a major engine issue. Some oil loss is understood and normal (in older cars), this newer vehicle used over 3 quarts of oil in the span of one oil change. Had I known about this issue, I would have been vigilant in monitoring this issue. Not knowing about this issue led to a very unsafe shutdown of the vehicle.

Vehicle has 42,000 miles on it passenger side front exhaust pipe has broken at the flex joint. Vehicle is strictly road driven and garaged when not in use. Part# 68110128AC

When breaking or turning on multiple occasions the vehicle shifts into neutral and turns off. It then stalls until it is switched on again.

JEEP WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF, LOSE POWER STEERING, CANNOT ACCELERATE TO TRY TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY, BATTERY, OIL AND ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND RECEIVE A MESSAGE SAYING TO "SHIFT TO PARK OR NEUTRAL TO START THE VEHICLE". IF YOU WANT A COUPLE MINUTES THE JEEP STRUGGLE TO TURNOVER BUT EVENTUALLY WILL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY!!!! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!! IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING ON ANY STREET OR HIGHWAY, TURNING OR BRAKING.

THE JEEP HAS 42K MILES. RECENTLY THE CAR SUDDENLY, WITHOUT ANY WARNING JUST QUIT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 WEEKS THIS HAPPENED. 5K MILES AGO I GOT AN SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE GOOD FOR 10K MILES. AT APPROX. 5K MILES WAS WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO DIE. I CONTACTED DEALER IN ELIZABETHTOWN KY AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE APPARENTLY WAS AWARE THAT FOR EVERY 1K MILES, A QUART OF OIL WAS USED. THIS WAS NEVER TOLD TO ME AND YET KNOWING THIS, THE DEALER TOLD ME I HAD TO HAVE THE 10K MILE OIL KNOWING I WOULD NEVER REACH THAT. HE SAID THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON A SENSOR THAT UNTIL THEY COULD SCHEDULE ME IN, I NEEDED TO POUR OIL INTO THE ENGINE WHICH I DID. MY LIFE WAS PLACED IN DIRE JEOPARDY. AND I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS OBSCENE USAGE OF OIL BY THIS MODEL. IF THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD CRACKED DUE TO THIS-THAN WHAT?

BURNS THOUGH OIL LIKE A CHEAP ALCOHOLIC. USUALLY 1 QUART IS BURNED OFF EVERY 1000 MILES. THIS WAS SOMETHING I WAS NOT AWARE OF WHEN I PURCHASED THE JEEP. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED, INITIALLY I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER. SO THAT WAS A $500 REPAIR. LATER I FOUND OUT THAT 2017 JEEP CHEROKEES HAVE A UNIQUE ABILITY TO DRINK OIL. IF FCA IS AWARE, AND NOT FIXING THE ISSUE, THATS BULL CRAP. I HAVE AN OLDER CAR WITH A SIMILAR ENGINE AND CAN PUT 10,000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES W/O AN ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR TWO MONTHS AND DROVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES AND MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE APPARENTLY BURNED OFF MOST OF THE OIL WITHIN THAT TIME AND NO LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE OIL WAS LOW. I WOULD START DRIVING MY CAR AND IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE IS NO REASON WHY A OIL LIGHT SHOULDN'T WARN YOU, THE ONLY WARNING YOU GET IS YOUR CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT SAFE!

THE CAR STARTED OFF BY PROBLEMS WITH THE CHIP TO COMPUTE THAT IT NEEDED TO OPEN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL VALVE. SO WITH THAT CAME THE INABILITY FOR ME TO START THE CAR BY BEING OUTSIDE OF IT AND ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THEN OUR GEARS WOULD LIGHT UP AS IF THE CAR WAS IN EVER POSITION POSSIBLE. WE WOULD PARK CUT THE CAR OFF AND RESUME TO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED FOR A WEEK OR SO WENT AWAY AND EVENTUALLY CAME BACK. NOW THE ENGINE FEELS AS IF IT'S GIVING OUT IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE WELL, I KNOW IT'S A V4 BUT IT SHOULD HAVE MAINTAINED THE GET UP THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT AND IS WELL MAINTAINED WITH FREQUENT OIL CHANGES WITH THE BEST OIL.

I'VE NEEDED TO ADD A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER AT APPROXIMATELY 3200 MILES AND WAS PUT ON AN "OIL CONSUMPTION MONITORING PROGRAM" WHERE I RETURNED THE CAR EVERY 1000 MILES FOR MEASURING THE OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS WAS DONE EVERY 1000 MILES AND THE CAR NOW HAS 15,700 MILES. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER TIME BEFORE LAST, I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT ANOTHER 1000 MILES, RETURN AND IF OIL MUST BE ADDED, CHRYSLER WILL "REPLACE THE ENGINE." WHEN I SCHEDULED MY LAST CONSUMPTION CHECK, I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER NOW UPPED THE CHECKING INTERVAL TO 1500 MILES. I THEREFOR DROVE THE CAR ANOTHER 500 MILES AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER ON 9/21/2020 WHERE THE THE CAR WAS CHECKED IN. AFTER THE CAR WAS CHECKED, THE SERVICE CHECK IN GUY TOLD ME THEY ADDED ANOTHER QUART, AND THAT I NEEDED TO PUT YET ANOTHER "1500 TO 1700" MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THEN RETURN FOR ANOTHER FINAL CHECK, AND IF OIL WAS NEEDED, THEY WOULD (ONCE AGAIN) REPLACE THE ENGINE. I UNDERSTAND FROM THE SERVICE PERSONAL, THAT IF THE ENGINE OIL QUANTITY DROPS TO TWO QUARTS BELOW FULL, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF, AND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON A CITY STREET MY VEHICLE DINGED, TURNED OFF AND A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH 'SHIFT TO PARK OR NEUTRAL, PRESS BRAKE, SELECT GEAR'. I COULD NOT USE MY STEERING WHEEL OR BREAKS DURING THIS TIME. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND FULL TOOK MY KEY OUT. THEN ATTEMPTED TO START IT. I ONLY HEARD A SLIGHT SOUND BUT NO TURN OVER. I REPEATED THIS STEP AND THIS TIME, AFTER MOMENTARILY SPUTTERING, I WAS ABLE TO GIVE THE CAR GAS AND IT STAYED ON. I COULD SMELL OIL AT THIS POINT. IT SEEMS THIS IS RELATED TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, WHICH TRIGGERS THE CAR TO SHUT OFF TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. EXCEPT THE OIL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE IS FINE AND THERE ARE NO PRIOR WARNINGS BEFORE THIS HAPPENS.

Mileage: 67,000

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO A LIGHT ON THE SCREEN APPEARED AND SAID "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER TURNED ON, THE D, R AND SO ON. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT INORDER TO GET THE WARNING LABEL OFF THE SCREEN AND GET THE LIGHTS OFF. NOW TODAY, MY CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO START BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THE RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS TURN ON SO LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT'S NOT THE BATTERY.

MY JEEP HAS ABOUT 26,000 MILES ON IT, SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT, IT HAS BEEN TOWED 6 TIMES FOR ENGINE FAILURE. MY ENGINE IS BURNING THE OIL, WITH OUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE DEALER INSISTS THIS IS NORMAL, BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO ABSORB OR BURN OIL. *TR

Mileage: 25,500

SHIFTER ERROR THEN TURNS OFF RANDOMLY. ESPECIALLY ON TURNS

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP HAS JUST SHUT OFF ON ME ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASION LEAVING ME TO JUST COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEN WHEN I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND TRY TO RESTART THE CAR IT JUST KEPT TURNING OVER AND TOOK A WHILE TO START BACK UP. *TR

JEEP STALLS EVERY A COUPLE OF WEEKS. DETERMINED THAT THE JEEP BURNS OIL AND WITH NO INDICATION THE CAR WILL JUST STALL WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. WHEN IT STALLS I DETERMINED THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS EXTREMELY LOW. THIS HAPPENS WITH LESS THAN 4000 MILES. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS. VERY SCARING WHEN IT JUST STALLS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. NO WAY SHOULD A VEHICLE BURN THAT MUCH OIL WITH ONLY DRIVING 5000 MILES OR LESS. *TR

Mileage: 24,000

FOR OVER A MONTH NOW I'VE RECEIVED"SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE. CAR SHAKES BADLY AND LOSES POWER AS IF ITS GOING TO SHUT OFF. THREE DIFFERENT TIMES IT DID SHUT OFF AND STRUGGLED TO RE-CRANK! SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE GOES AWAY AFTER TURNING THE JEEP OFF & BACK ON. VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (OR ANYWHERE)!!! PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND IS UP TO DATE ON OIL CHANGES, ETC. JEEP ALSO BURNS MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN (5 PLUS INFANT). WE WERE TRAVELING ~20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN. THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING AS WE WERE TRAVELING DOWNHILL, AND WAS IN THE DRIVE GEAR. WE WERE UNABLE TO STOP AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO PULL OFF IMMEDIATELY. THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING FIRST, THEN THE BRAKE STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. I HAD TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND JAM MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE SITUATION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ONCE THE CAR STOPPED, WE TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER POWER CYCLING THE CAR, IT RETURNED TO OPERATING AS EXPECTED. *TR

Mileage: 19,000

THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES NOW STARTING IN JAN 21, 2020. STOPPED AT STOP SIGN AND SHUT OFF. TRIED TO RESTART AND WOULD NOT. WAITED ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND IT STARTED. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR ANOTHER STOP SIGN IT SHUT OFF BUT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR ANOTHER STOP SIGN I TURNED RIGHT WITH OUT STOPPING AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON. BATTERY WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. CAR WOULD NOT START FOR 45 MINUTES AND THEN IT FINALLY STARTED.CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEIR ANSWER WAS 'IF WE CAN'T DUPLICATE IT THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN BRING IT IN'. WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TOO MEAN? IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 5-13-20, 5-15-20 AND 5-31-20. ALL THESE TIMES IT WAS WHEN WE ARE DRIVING ALONG AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN. ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF. ON 5-31-20 I WAS IN A TRAFFIC LANE MAKING A RIGHT TURN WITH OTHER TRAFFIC BEHIND WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS BEEPING HIS HORN FOR ME TO MOVE AS HE HAD NOT KNOWN MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. WOULD HATE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN IF I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE. JUST HAD THE BATTERY REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY ON 5-28-20. ENGINE OIL GAUGE READ 54% NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT SURE DOESN'T SOUND SAFE TO ME. CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO GET AN APPOINTMENT.

THE VEHICLE CONSUMES ALL OF THE OIL (BONE DRY) BEFORE THE VEHICLE REACHES 3000 MILES AND BEFORE THE NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF A LEAK. THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING (NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNING). THIS TIME IT HAPPENED ON 05/26/2020 ON A HIGHWAY WITH A 60MPH SPEED LIMIT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS PROBLEM IS FOUND ALL THROUGH OUT INTERNET FORUMS FOR THE 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE AND JEEP HAS FAILED TO PUT OUT A RECALL. THE ISSUE IS KNOWN AND THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY PUTTING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE CALLING IT AN, "OVER CONSUMPTION OF OIL." *TR

Mileage: 18,101

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS LOW OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, WE HAVE THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED MILEAGE BETWEEN CHANGES. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MAIN ROADS DURING TIMES OF HIGH TRAFFIC AND HAS PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES NOW. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M TIRED OF DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 36,000

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON HIGHWAY. HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART.

I AM ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER AND CAN EVEN OPERATE THE VEHICLE BUT, IT FEELS UNSAFE. I HAVE HAD MIXED SUCCESS WITH TURNING THE JEEP OFF AND RESTARTING BUT, MOST OF THE TIME, IT SUCCEEDS IN ELIMINATING THE WARNING AND THE RED LIGHTS. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE POSTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AS AN ISSUE FOR A NUMBER OF JEEP MODELS. GUIDANCE OR, A RECALL MAY BE IN ORDER. I WOULD APPRECIATE EITHER.

THIS CAR BURNS OIL AT AN EXTREME RATE, I'VE HAD IT CHECKED OUT FOR CONSUMPTION TESTS AFTER EVERY 1,000 MILES- IT IS ALWAYS LOW ON OIL. WITH NO ANSWERS FROM JEEP WHO IS PERFORMING THESE TASKS. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN SINCE ABOUT 25,000 MILES- (IM SITTING AT 51,000 NOW) SHAKING BETWEEN GEARS, THE RPM GAUGE TAC JUMPS AROUND, THE CAR SEEMS TO STRUGGLE RUNNING. EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TAKEN IN - I'M TOLD THE CAR IS RUNNING CORRECTLY EVEN WITH HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AS WELL AS ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND THAT THIS IS JEEPS STANDARD. I HAVE YET TO HAVE ANYTHING RESOLVED SINCE I'VE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE ZERO PROBLEMS OR THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUES I'VE HAD. A LESS THAN 3 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT BE BURNING MORE THAN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THIS IS A CAR THAT HAS A STANDARD OF GETTING OIL CHANGES EVERY 6,000 MILES. HOW IS THIS FOLLOWING JEEPS STANDARD. IF I FOLLOWED THIS STANDARD I WOULD BE PULLING MY CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP EVERY RECOMMENDED 6,000 MILES WITH ZERO OIL. I'VE HAD A STARTER EXPLODE IN MY ENGINE, HAD IT FIXED FOR IT TO ONLY DO THE SAME ISSUE A WEEK LATER. WHEN IN MOTION MY ENTIRE CAR HOPPS AROUND, ITS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE IT ON THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE I KNOW ITS SO DANGEROUS. I CANNOT TRUST THIS CAR GOING OVER 55 MILES AN HOUR. I'VE GIVEN UP HOPE IN JEEP AND STILL CONTINUE TO GET MY REGULAR WORK DONE TO KEEP THE CAR BARELY FUNCTIONING. 51,000 MILES. A CAR THAT AS GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 1,000 MILES THE LAST TWO YEARS. AND HAS HAD COMPLETE REGULAR WORK DONE ON IT. THIS IS NOT OKAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

Mileage: 25,000

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE AND SHUT ITSELF DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING 3 DIFFERENT PERIODS TIME NEAR THE OIL CHANGE INTERVAL, OCCURRING 3+ OR MORE TIMES DURING EACH PERIOD. AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WITH THE 3RD OCCURRENCE, THEY CHECKED THE OIL PRIOR TO CHANGING IT NOTING THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE PAN. AFTER PERFORMING A FUEL CONSUMPTION TEST, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ENGINE BETWEEN 6,000 AND 7,000 MILES (OIL CHANGE TIME) LOST OVER 1.25 QUARTS OF OIL. BETWEEN 0 AND 6,000 MILES, MINIMAL TO NO OIL WAS LOST, BUT BETWEEN 6,000-7,000 THE OIL WOULD DROP SIGNIFICANTLY WITH NO OBVIOUS REASON WHY. THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED THEY HAVE HAD OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE. IF IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THEN JEEP WOULD LIKELY REPLACE THE ENGINE, BUT SINCE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY (EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES), I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE ENGINE OR TEAR DOWN TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.

MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 6 TIMES IN A WEEK AND A HALF. ITS ALWAYS WITHIN A FEW BLOCKS OF START UP. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS, THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT BACK UP. ALL 6 TIMES IT HAS BEEN WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 25 MILES AND HOUR AND HAS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE WITH AN ISSUE WITH THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT COMING ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WERE LIGHTING UP AND CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN. AT THAT TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND THEY REPLACED IT. NOW WE ARE NOT GETTING A WARNING LIGHT AT ALL BEFORE THE CAR DIES. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE MY JEEP THAT I HAVE HAD FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS. WHEN TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE SAYING THEY HAVE HAD NO REPORTED ISSUES WITH THIS BEFORE. WE WILL FIND OUT TODAY WHAT THEY SAY AND I WILL REPOST. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON HERE FOR THE SAME THING AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALSO, WHEN WE SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT WITH CRONIN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN LEBANON OHIO, WE WERE TOLD THEY NO LONGER GIVE LOANER VEHICLES. WHEN DID THIS CHANGE? ESPECIALLY FOR AN ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER ISSUE.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. SINCE ABOUT 30K I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING THAT IT IS RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING, REGARDLESS OF SPEED. NO ENGINE POWER, AND NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A FAIL SAFE DUE TO LOW OIL. I HAVE FOLLOWED THE FCA GUIDELINES AND DEALERS FOR OIL CHANGES AND CANT REALLY MAKE BETWEEN CHANGES. I HAVE DONE MULTIPLE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS BETWEEN TWO DEALERS BC I AM TOLD IT DOESNT BURN ENOUGH FOR FCA STANDARDS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE CALLED AFTER IT DIED OUT TO ASK FOR A TOW IN AND HAVE BEEN DENIED AND TOLD IT JUST MEANS ITS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I HAVE TO HAVE AN IGNITION COIL REPLACED ON TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS, REPROGRAMMING OF THE SHIFTER PCM, AND REPLACED THE PCM. IT WASNT TILL MY LATEST INCIDENT THAT I RECORDED IT AND POSTED THE VIDEO TO TWITTER THAT AN FCA REP REACHED OUT TO ME TO 'HELP'. I WAS TOLD I STILL NEED TO DO OIL TESTING BC I HAVE TO FAIL 3 IN A ROW FOR FURTHER TESTING REGARDLESS OF A HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM CONTINUING AND NOT GETTING BETTER. 1ST TEST IT WAS ONLY HALF A QUART. DIDNT EVEN MAKE IT TO THE 2ND BEFORE THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY, LOST POWER, WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND I HAD TO BE TOWED IN. 1ST WAS TOLD THE MULTIAIR ACTUATOR WENT OUT AND FCA AGREED TO PAY FOR IT, AS IM AT 73K. THEN I HEAR NOTHING FROM ANYONE FOR 8 DAYS TILL I CALL THE DEALER AND IM TOLD THEY ARE WAITING ON SPARK PLUGS. 20MINS LATER THE FCA REP CALLS AND SAYS THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY FOUND, METAL SHAVINGS INSIDE, SCORCHING, A PIECE OF THE EXHAUST VALVE MISSING AND LOST INSIDE THE ENGINE. HOWEVER FCA WILL ONLY PAY FOR 1500 LEAVING THE REST OF THE BILL TO ME FOR SOMETHING THATS NOT MY FAULT AND AN ISSUE THEY CONTINUE TO IGNORE. HAD THEY INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM EARLIER REGARDLESS OF THEIR OIL BURNING RULES THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND THE VALVE WAS CRACKED. FCA SAYS THEY ARE NOT SAYING ITS MY FAULT BUT ARE HIDING BEHIND THE WARRANTY.*DT*JB

ON JANUARY 18 2020 I WAS DRIVING AND AFTER ONLY A MILE FROM HOME, COMING TO AN INTERSECTION YIELDING TO GO LEFT, MY CAR COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I TRIED TO RE-START AND TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUETS GET IT TO RESTART. I WAS DRIVING THE MILE HOME WHEN THEN I GOT A 'OIL PRESSURE LOW LIGHT'. I DID AN OIL CHANGE THAT AFTERNOON TO FIND MY CAR ONLY HAD 2 QUARTS OF OIL REMAINING. MY CAR IS BURNING OIL. I DO REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THERE ARE NO LEAKS. I HAD NO WARNING FROM MY CAR THAT MY OIL WAS LOW. ALTHOUGH THE FEATURE TO TURN OFF MY CAR WORKED PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OIL IS LOW, MY CAR IS BURNING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND NOT GIVING ME A LOW OIL WARNING BEFORE TURNING OFF MY CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE AND HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH I GENERALLY TRAVEL. THESE MODEL CARS NEED TO BE FIXED FROM BURNING OIL AND DRIVERS ALERTED TO WHEN THEIR OIL STARTS TO BECOME LOW, NOT JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

MY ENGINE CONSUMES OIL. I CANNOT EVEN REACH 2000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. MY CAR WILL JUST CUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING (AT ANY SPEED INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND TURNS). WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED I CHECKED THE OIL AND THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY OF OIL. IT DIDNT EVEN REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK. I HAVE HAD OVER 6 OIL CHANGES SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 01/2019 (LESS THAN A YEAR). I HAVE HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING COMPLETED AND EVERYTHING "COMES BACK IN RANGE". THE ENGINE HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND NOTHING IS LEAKING OR FAULTY. MY CAR TAKES FULL SYNTHETIC OIL WHICH SHOULD LAST WAY LONGER THAN THAT. I AM AWARE THIS IS AN OVERALL ISSUE WITH 2017 JEEPS OF ALL MODELS. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP DIDNT SEEM LIKE HE KNOW MUCH OF ANYTHING AND TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT COMPLETELY DEPLETES ITS OIL SUPPLY WITHIN 2000 MILES. HE THEN REFERRED ME TO MOPARS CORPORATE LINE WHO THEN REFERRED ME TO NHTSA TO FILE A REPORT.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN THE VEHICLE DIED. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL. VEHICLE WAS JUMPED AND STARTED. AT THAT TIME THE DASH DISPLAYED "SHIFTER SERVICE NEEDED". SHIFTER WAS REPLACED. THE DAY AFTER SHIFTER WAS REPLACED THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A DING NOISE (SIMILAR TO SEAT BELT DING) WHILE MAKING A TURN. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS THE MATTER WITH IT. TWO DAYS AFTER THAT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN THE VEHICLE MADE A DING NOISE AND STALLED (VEHICLE WAS RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT MOVE). VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. VEHICLE RESTATED EVENTUALLY AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. AFTER THREE DAYS I WAS TOLD THIS IS DUE TO LOW OIL. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO TELL ME HOW LOW MY OIL WAS BUT STATED IT WOULD ONLY NEED TO BE A QUART LOW FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AND THAT JEEP IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS.

ON TWO OCCASIONS THIS WEEK THE JEEP CHEROKEE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS STARTLING AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING LEFT IT DIFFICULT TO PULL OVER. UPON INQUIRY FROM A LOCAL JEEP DEALER, THEY INDICATED IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IF THE OIL IS LOW. THE OIL WAS IN FACT 3/4 QUART LOW AND WAS REMEDIED HOWEVER THERE SHOULD BE A LIGHT THAT COMES ON NOT A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE DASH REGARDING LOW OIL.

IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED IT HAD NO OIL. IT HAD AN OIL CHANGE WITH IN THE LAST MONTH. IN THE TWO YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT, IT HAS HAD TO BE TOWED FOR THIS 1-2 OTHER TIMES AS IT RUNS OUT OF OIL AND SHUTS DOWN BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE DATE OR MILEAGE. I WAS NEVER INFORMED TO MONITOR THE OIL UNTIL RECENTLY. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS TOLD TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AT 4000 MILES INSTEAD OF 5000 AND I HAVE BEEN DOING THAT IT OR ADDING OIL IF I CANNOT GET IT RIGHT IN. IT ALSO HAS NO WARNING THAT IT IS LOW ON OIL.

WHILE DRIVING CAR WILL COME UP WITH A MESSAGE OF SERVICE SHIFTER ON THE DASH AND ALL SHIFTER LIGHTS ARE LIT UP RED.

SINCE JANUARY OF 2018 I HAVE BEEN HAVING CONSTANT PROBLEMS INTERNALLY WITH MY JEEP. I GOT THE JEEP IN APRIL OF 2017 WITH 14 MILES TOTAL ON IT. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP NEVER ROTATED MY TIRES WHEN THEY CHANGED MY OIL AND TOLD ME THEY DID ROTATE MY TIRES RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO GET A BRAND NEW SET OF 4 TIRES IN 2018 BECAUSE ALL THE TIRES WENT COMPLETELY BALD (TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON). MY FIRST OF 4 CYLINDERS WENT OUT IN JANUARY 2019 THAT WAS FIXED ON WARRANTY. SECOND CYLINDER OF 4 THAT WAS A DIFFERENT CYLINDER THAN THE FIRST WENT OUT FEBRUARY OF 2019 THE JEEP DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A GOOD YEAR PROGRAM AND MADE ME PAY A FEE AND THEY FIXED ALL 4 CYLINDERS. CURRENTLY IN NOVEMBER 2019 MY ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS NOW. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT HAS NOT SEEN THIS ISSUE ON OTHER JEEPS SO I REALLY BELIEVE I GOT SOLD A POORLY MANUFACTURED JEEP.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WHEN IT WANTS, GET STUCK IN GEARS AND SHIFTS HARD. HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. HAVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP MULTIPLE TIMES- THEY HAVE ZERO ANSWERS FOR ME. MY CAR ISN'T RUNNING ANY ERROR CODES SO THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS ANY ISSUES.

I BROUGHT A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE IN JULY 2017. I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR THE FIRST MONTH I BROUGHT IT. VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, STEERING LOCKS AND THE DASH LIGHTS UP WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS PUT VEHICLE AND "PARK" AND THEN SELECT DESIRED GEAR.THIS ISSUES HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY AS THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A COLLISION. I KEEP MY VEHICLE UP TO DATE ON MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT I AM PAYING A CAR PAYMENT, HAVE LESS THAN 62,000 MILES ON A LESS THAN 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, AND HAVING THESE KIND OF SAFETY CONCERNS. . TODAY, MY CAR DIED WITH NO WARNING ON A BUSY ROAD, GIVES ME APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS TO PULL TO SAFETY BEFORE THERE IS NO SPEED/ABILITY TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE RISK IS SO HIGH, AND THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON LINE SHOW A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS AMONG HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES BY JEEP AND NOTHING. THE DEALERSHIPS/SERVICE CONTINUE TO MAKE COMMENTS LIKE "WE WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE". TO BE SPECIFIC: DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR, STRAIGHT FOLLOWING A RIGHT TURN. . . . LOST POWER. LIGHTS WENT ON THE DASH, MESSAGE ABOVE APPEARED. IT TOOK TWO TRIES TO RESTART TO GET ME OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR ME BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED. AS SOON AS THEY WOULD CONNECT IT TO DIAGNOSE THEY SAID THE CODES WOULD CLEAR AND THE CAR WAS WORKING. ITS A WASTE OF MONEY BECAUSE IM GOING TO GET THE SAME ANSWER. I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. THIS CAR HAS BUT MY CHILDREN AND MY LIFE IN DANGER. CHRYSTLER AND JEEP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THEY HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS ENGINE. I GUESS JEEP WILL RESOLVED THIS ISSUE WHEN SOMEONE GET IN AN ACCIDENT OR DIE.

THE DEALER STATED THAT WHEN THE OIL WAS CHANGED, THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE OIL CHANGES NEEDED TO BE MORE FREQUENT, SUCH AS EVERY 2,000 TO 2,500 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIAL RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

MY CAR HAS THE 2.4 L ENGINE. IT HAS BEEN BURNING OFF A LOT OF OIL. THE DEALER CHANGED THE OIL AT 12,200 MILES ON APRIL 2, 2019. WE CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL LAST WEEK AND IT WAS LOW BY 2 QUARTS. WE TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND THE CHANGED OIL AND STARTED A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. WE ARE BOTH RETIRED AND DRIVE ONLY ABOUT 6,000 MILES PER YEAR. WE PURCHASED THE JEEP NEW IN MARCH 2017 WITH 11 MILES AT 5500 MILES IN NOVEMBER 2017 WE ALSO HAD A "OIL LEAK" SYMPTOMS. GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET REVEALS MANY CUSTOMERS OF THIS 2.4L JEEP AND CHRYSLER ENGINE HAVE PROBLEMS OF OIL " BLOWING OUT" . THE DEALER SAID NO "LOW OIL " LIGHT WILL WARN YOU OF LOW OIL PROBLEM. THEY SAID THE CAR WILL STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING. I FIND THIS RESULT TO BE UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT THIS COMMON PROBLEM?

FOR THE PAST 12 MONTHS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION DURING DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DRIVING CYCLE (DRIVE, PARK, IDLE) A "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH. AT THIS TIME NO OTHER LIGHT APPEARS (CHECK ENGINE, LOW OIL, ELECTRICAL ISSUE.) THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR HAS JUST BEEN STARTED, DRIVING, OR PARKED. IT DOES NOT MATTER THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN NOTED BY PHOTOS OF THE SERVICE LIGHT ALSO WITH THE MILEAGE OF THE CAR. THE ISSUE SOMETIMES RESULTS IN THE CAR TURNING ITSELF OFF WHILE IT IS IN DRIVE. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE CAR MUST SIT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME FROM 1 MINUTE TO 30 MINUTES THEN THE CAR WILL TURN BACK ON WITHOUT ISSUE. THE LIGHT APPEARS WITHOUT ANY KNOWN CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. THE CAR HAS A SERVICE CONTRACT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALERSHIP THE LIGHT IS NOT ON. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED UNLESS THE LIGHT IS ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE ON TWO OCCASIONS AS IT WOULD NOT START FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY RECALLED PARTS OR PRODUCTS. THE DEALERSHIP DENIES ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES. THROUGH A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER DRIVERS AND VEHICLES WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE. THIS POSES A SAFETY THREAT AS THE CAR TURNS ITSELF OFF WHILE IT IS IN DRIVE. IT IS MY FEAR THAT THIS MAY OCCUR WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THIS HAS ONLY OCCURRED TO THIS POINT ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP PENDING REPAIRS, BUT THEY NOTED AS IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR.

I WILL HAVE TO SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL ALLOW ME TO CRANK IT AGAIN. I HAVE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHERE WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP TO MY DESTINATION, IT DOES FINE. BUT ONCE I PARK, THE CAR WILL NOT START AGAIN UNLESS JUMPED OFF. I REPLACED THE BATTERY EXPECTING THAT TO FIX IT, BUT IT DID NOT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND NO ONE CAN FIND A PROBLEM. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN SOME PROBLEMS WITH IT THROWING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CODE SAYS THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. WHEN I TAKE IT SOMEWHERE, THEY SAY THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IS FINE. I JUST WANT MY CAR TO BE SAFE FOR ME AND EVERYONE AROUND ME. MY CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON MANY OCCASIONS, AND IT IS UNRELIABLE. I AM SCARED TO TAKE MY CAR ANYWHERE EXCEPT WORK AND HOME DUE TO THE FACT I DON'T TRUST IT.

I AM HAVING A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE AND ITS SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS ISSUE IS RUNNING RAMPANT NATION WIDE. FURTHERMORE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH FIAT-CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT AND IS DOING NOTHING. MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE 2.4L WAS PURCHASED FROM DAN ON 7/17/2017. SINCE THEN, IT HAS BEEN HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS. . IN DOING SO, IT APPARENTLY GETS SO LOW THAT THE ENGINE CUTS OFF MID DRIVING AND I LOSE ALL POWER, STEERING INCLUDED. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE MY 4 AND 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WHEN THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE COUNTLESS FORUMS ONLINE THAT DISCUSS THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEES. CAR IS RUNNING DRIVING AT APPROX 30MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WARNING INDICATORS COME ON AND THE CAR STALLS OUT LOSING ALL POWER INCLUDING STEERING. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO OIL IN THE CAR. WHILE REVIEWING THE ABOVE JEEP FORUMS ONLINE EVERYONE IS PLAGUED BY THIS. THE CAR BURNS ALL THE OIL! NEW CARS SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS ESPECIALLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE IS NONE LEFT IN IT!!!

THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND STATED I NEEDED TO SHIFT TO PARK THEN TO DESIRED GEAR. MY JEEP WOULD NOT RUN AT THIS POINT. I HAD TO WAIT A GOOD 5 MINUTES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO ATTEMPT STARTING MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE IT DID NOT START ON THE FIRST 2 TRIES. THE 3RD TIME IT FINALLY STARTED. FURTHERMORE, AFTER LETTING MY VEHICLE SIT AND COOL ONCE I GOT TO MY WORK LOCATION WHICH IS 40 MILES AWAY. I AND ANOTHER CO WORKER CHECKED THE OIL, AND THE OIL BARELY REGISTERED ON THE DIPSTICK. I WILL BE GOING TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AGAIN SINCE THE OIL WAS DARK AND SMELLED BURNT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE HAD ISSUED WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE. THE OTHER INSTANCE ALL THE SHIFTING GEARS ON THE CONSOLE LITE UP AND A MESSAGE ON THE DASH STATED TO SHIFT INTO THE DESIRED GEAR. THIS TOO HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST INSTANCE WHEREAS YOU LOSE ALL CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT; HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED UNTIL 2 WEEKS AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE.

I HAVE COMBED THROUGH COUNTLESS JEEP FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND WOULD SAY IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM HOWEVER WITH NO CLEAR SOLUTION. JEEP HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS ONGOING ISSUE AND I AM UNCERTAIN OF THE POTENTIAL RISK I AM TAKING BY CONTINUED DRIVING OF THIS VEHICLE AND WHAT EFFECT THIS ACTUALLY HAS ON THE VEHICLE AND ITS FUTURE DRIVABILITY

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN MAY OF 2017 AFTER 48,000 MILES THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT INTO MY SERVICE DEPT AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER. I WAS TOLD FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL REPLACING THE SHIFTER WAS NOT A BIG DEAL. AFTER 56,000 MILES I CAME IN WITH A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I WAS 600 MILES FROM AN OIL CHANGE AND MY CAR WAS ACTING LIKE IT NEEDED THE OIL CHANGED AND I TOOK IT IN TO MY SERVICE DEPT AND THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ON IT AND ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE. NOW I AM AT 62817 MILES AND THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT IS BACK ON. BOTH TIMES THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON MY VEHICLE WAS AT REST BUT CONTINUED AS I WAS DRIVING.

IN AUG 2018 I GOT A SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING AND ALL THE LIGHTS AT THE SHIFTER LIT UP. THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND HARNESS REPLACEMENT REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN IN MAY 2019 I GOT THE SAME WARNING, AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS STUTTERING, AND ACTING LIKE IT WOULD SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A NEARBY JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THEY FIRST STATED THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE ALL THE SPARK PLUGS AND RECOMMENDED A FUEL INDUCTION CLEANING SERVICE, BOTH OF WHICH I WOULD NEED TO PAY AS THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED ME TO ADVISE THE REPAIRS THEY HAD ATTEMPTED HAD NOT REPAIRED VEHICLE. THEY THEN PERFORMED A COIL PACK REPLACEMENT AND THIS WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND THE HARNESS REPLACEMENT, ALSO UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT HAVE A RENTAL VEHICLE AVAILABLE, SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS OUT-OF-POCKET. THE RENTAL AND THE REPAIRS ENDED UP COSTING APPROXIMATELY $650 OUT OF POCKET. $150 WILL BE REFUNDED AFTER 60 BUSINESS DAYS ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. ALTHOUGH THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE FUEL INJECTION CLEANING DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND ARE NOT NECESSARY MAINTENANCE AT 50,000 MILES, BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER WARRANTY SERVICE STATED THOSE WERE MAINTENANCE REPAIRS AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAD PURCHASED. I MOST LIKELY WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER JEEP IN THE FUTURE AS I FEEL THE ORIGINAL RECOMMENDED REPAIRS WERE A RIP OFF. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION, I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND THE MALFUNCTION COULD'VE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS AS IT EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT!

WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, VEHICLE STALLED OUT COMPLETELY, JUST SHUT OFF, UPON TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY BEGAN AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND FOUND IT TO BE USING OIL, HAVING TO ADD 1 QUART EVERY 1,000 MILES, AFTER READING FORUMS, CHRYSLER HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS FOR A FEW YEARS ON THEIR 2.4 ENGINES, AND IT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WAS A FEATURE WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW, SO IT DOESN'T CAUSE FURTHER ENGINE DAMAGE. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A BUSY ROAD WITH TRAFFIC, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS. THE LINK SHOWS YOU ONE OF THE MANY FORUMS I HAVE FOUND REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I AM VERY FAITHFUL ON OIL CHANGES, SO THIS WAS NOT DUE TO ANY TYPE OF NEGLIGENCE ON MY PART REGARDING THE OIL.

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL/DIE WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES INCLUDING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH. I WAS TOLD BE THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A FAIL SAFE THAT IS IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE CAR FROM LOW OIL. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I KEPT CAREFUL WATCH ON MY MILEAGE AND OIL STATUS BUT DID NOT PHYSICALLY CHECK MY OIL. NOW WITH 600 MILES TO GO BEFORE THE NEXT SUGGESTED OIL CHANGE, THE CAR HAD STALLED THREE TIMES IN A WEEK. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. THE CAR WILL NOT START AGAIN RIGHT AWAY. I'VE JUST DROPPED IT AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS COMMON WITH THIS ENGINE AND THAT I MAY NEED TO PHYSICALLY CHECK MY OIL EVERY 1000 MILES TO ENSURE IT IS NOT LOW. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS FAIL SAFE PUT ME AT RISK ON A HIGHWAY AND ON A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP. I ALSO SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PHYSICALLY CHECK MY OIL ON A NEW CAR AND PAY TO GET OIL CHANGES MORE FREQUENTLY THAN SUGGESTED. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON A NEIGHBORHOOD SURFACE STREET TWICE, ON A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP ONCE AND ON THE HIGHWAY AT FULL SPEED. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. A MESSAGE COMES ON THAT SAYS, "SHIFT TO PARK OR NEUTRAL, PRESS BRAKE TO SELECT GEAR". I HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET.

THERE IS NO LEAK, NO BURNING OF OIL, NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT TURN ON, NOR ANY AREA IN THE MOTOR WHERE YOU CAN SEE ANY OIL ACCUMULATING. WE EVEN CHANGED TO SYNTHETIC OIL AND IT'S STILL CONSUMING OIL.

3/15/2019 AT 12:15 I WAS DRIVING BACK TO WORK AFTER LUNCH AND MY CENTER DISPLAY PANEL SUDDENLY CHANGE FROM DISPLAYING MPH TO A MESSAGE THAT READ "SERVICE SHIFTER". WHEN I LOOKED AT MY GEAR SHIFT ALL LIGHTS WERE LIT INSTEAD OF JUST D. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED HOME (I WAS A MILE AWAY) AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. THE MESSAGE REMAINED ON MY CENTER CONSOLE AND LIGHTS REMAINED LIT. I TURNED OFF/ON THE VEHICLE WITH SAME RESULTS. I PUT VEHICLE INTO GARAGE AND CALLED ROTHROCK MOTORS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. WILL DROP VEHICLE OF 3/16/19 BUT NO ETA ON RETURN SINCE THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHAT THE ISSUE IS UNTIL THEY LOOK AT IT.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, AND I HAVE THE VERY COMMON SERVICE SHIFTER PROBLEM GOING ON IN MY CAR. I MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY AND OVER THE WEEKEND THE CAR JUST SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SCARED ME TO DEATH. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET IT TO LET ME TO SHIFT. I JUST GET A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME IT IS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT I HAVE TO PAY $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING WHEN THIS SEEMS TO BE A JEEP ISSUE!!!!! I AM SO MAD AND FRUSTRATED AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FORK OUT WHEN I ALREADY HAVE EXTENDED COVERAGE.

THREE TIMES WHILE ACTIVELY MOVING IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE STOPPED SAFELY AND PLACED INTO PARK. THE ELECTRICAL WORKS SO HAZARD LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE ENGAGED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO RESTART ON THE FIRST FEW ATTEMPTS. ULTIMATELY IT WILL RESTART. THE SERVICE REP INDICATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND HE HAS SEEN A LOT OF THIS ON THIS MODEL. HE NOTED THE ENGINE HAS LOOSE TOLERANCES TO ACHIEVE THE MILEAGE RATING. AS A RESULT IT LOOSES OIL RAPIDLY. AND JEEP IMPLEMENTED ENGINE SENSORS TO STOP THE ENGINE WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. THE SENSORS DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR AT WHAT SPEEDS. I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IMMEDIATELY, TO WHICH WE GOT AN ANSWER TO DROP IT OFF, THEY WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT IT WHEN THEY GET TO IT. THIS VENDOR AND VEHICLE HAVE HAD OVER A DOZEN SIGNIFICANT RECALLS AND NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION GOING TO STOP AND STALLED GOING 15 MILES PER HOUR. LOST POWER BRAKES POWER STEERING AND ALMOST WAS UNABLE TO STOP HAD TO VEER OFF ROAD TO AVOID GOING INTO INTERSECTION. CAR STARTED UP AGAIN AFTER 2ND ATTEMPT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY CHECKED THE OIL AND SAID THE OIL WASN'T READING ON THE DIPSTICK. IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 4,000 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE. AFTER DOING AN OIL CHANGE THEN DOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AFTER ONLY 1000 MILES MY VECHICLE SHOWED THAT IT USED 1/2 QUART OF OIL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE THEY HAVE HAD WITH 2.4 ENGINE WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN BY CHRYSLER, HOWEVER THEIR NEGLIGENCE OF NOT NOTIFYING THE PUBLIC OR CORRECTING THE ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE INJURY AND HARM NOT ONLY TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES BUT ALSO ANYONE THAT IS IN THE WAY OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT DOES NOT STOP. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO LOOSE 1/2 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. BUT WHEN BUYING THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL LIFE GAUGE WOULD INSTRUCT ME WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE APPROX EVERY 5000-6000MILES. GOING BY THAT I STILL HAD OVER 50% OIL LIFE WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND I HAD NO OIL READING ON THE DIPSTICK. AS I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON THIS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES I LEARNED THAT THE CAR STALLS AS A SAFETY MECHANISM TO AVOID HARMING THE ENGINE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS. WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE VEHICLES.

MY JEEP HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND I KEEP UP TO DATE ON OIL CHANGES (EVERY 500 MILES); HOWEVER, WHEN THE 5,000 MILE MARKER STARTS APPROACHING I WILL BE IN DRIVING IN A FORWARD MOTION AND THE DASHBOARD WILL LIGHT UP SAYING "SHIFT TO NEUTRAL OR PARK", THE GAS PEDAL TIGHTENS UP TO THE POINT I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO STEP ON IT ANYMORE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENS UP AND I CAN NO LONGER MOVE THAT. AT THIS POINT MY VEHICLE JUST COMPLETELY STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THE MOST RECENT TIME (4,100 MILES AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE) I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE OTHER DAY AND THIS SAME THING HAPPENED. IT TAKES ABOUT 4 MINUTES FOR THE CAR TO START WORKING AGAIN, BUT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST, AND THE DEALERSHIP SHRUGGED IT OFF. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS, A VEHICLE (EVEN WITHOUT A RECENT OIL CHANGE, LET ALONE A VEHICLE THAT IS UP TO DATE ON OIL CHANGES AND HASN'T HIT THE 5,000 MILE MARKER) SHOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. OBVIOUSLY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. AT ANY POINT, I FEEL AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE MIGHT STOP WORKING ON ME AT A RANDOM TIME (AGAIN WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER) AND CAUSE ME TO BE IN A SEVER ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT A MATTER TO TAKE LIGHTLY, I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MY DEALERSHIP AND HAVE YET TO HAVE ANY HELP/ ISSUES RESOLVED.

IT STARTED AFTER 10 MINUTES OF SITTING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC - I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN IT? ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER I HAD 4% LIFE AND PLENTY OF OIL AND I CHECKED IT WHEN I WAS STALLED ON THE ROAD.ACCORDING TO THE DEALER IT'S NORMAL FOR THE 2.4L ENGINE TO BURN THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES? IS THAT ACCURATE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR? I DON'T THINK SO-- THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. I COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 AND IT COULD JUST STOP AND IT'S HAPPENED TO OTHERS.

WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR YESTERDAY MORNING, MY DRIVERS SEAT WAS ALL THE WAY BACK. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES IT - IT WAS ODD THAT IT WAS MOVED. NEVERTHELESS, I NEEDED IT TO GO BACK INTO POSITION SO I COULD DRIVE IT. THE CONTROLS WEREN'T REALLY WORKING SO IT TOOK A BIT TO GET IT TO MOVE FORWARD. I NOTED IT TO MENTION TO THE DEALER WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THIS WEEKEND. I DROVE TO WORK, UNEVENTFULLY. AS I LEFT WORK, AND GOT INTO MY JEEP, THE SEAT WAS FINE. YAY! I HEADED HOME. I WAS POURING RAIN. AS I TOOK A RIGHT, HEARD THE CAR GO "DING" SAW THE BATTERY LIGHT COME ON AND THEN THE JEEP TURNED OFF. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THE LAST TIME WAS JANUARY 2018 AS I WAS ENTERING I95. I TURNED LEFT AND HEARD THE "DING" AND OFF THE JEEP WENT. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DANGEROUS! I GOT TOWED TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER BY AAA AND LEFT THE CAR FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE RESULTS, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, WAS THAT MY OIL WAS LOW. THE CHEROKEE TURNS OFF THE CAR TO PRESERVE THE ENGINE. EVEN IF YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. JUST. TURNS. OFF. FIRST OF ALL, THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN NO MATTER WHAT. THE HUMAN IN THE CAR IS WHAT SHOULD BE PRESERVED, NOT THE CAR ITSELF. NO CAR SHOULD EVER JUST TURN OFF. SECOND OF ALL, THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE DASH OR ON THE UCONNECT APP THAT I WAS LOW ON OIL. AND SECONDLY, I WAS ONLY A 300 MILES OVER THE MILEAGE ON THE OIL STICKER ON MY WINDSHIELD. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF CARS IN MY LIFE AND EVEN THE REALLY OLD CARS WOULD INDICATE IF THE OIL WAS LOW. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. WHY WOULD I THINK THE DEALERSHIP WOULD PUT MILEAGE ON THE OIL CHANGE STICKER THAT WAS WRONG? WHY WOULD I EVEN THINK THAT I WOULD NEED TO CHECK MY OIL LEVELS ON A NEW CAR? AND ONE MORE THING - JEEPS ARE BUILT TOUGH. SO WHY WOULD THE ENGINE BE THAT SENSITIVE? SO ANGRY.

MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS 20,000 MILES AND HAS STOPPED RUNNING THREE TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SIDE BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS INVESTIGATING. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT PLEASE HELP

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING NOISE 2 WEEKS AFTER BOUGHT IT! IT MAKES A WHINY GRINDING NOISE. I WOULD BACK OUT AND WHEN I STRAIGHTEN WHEEL TO GO FORWARD, THERE IT IS! AT FIRST, THIS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE A DAY THEN IT WAS DOING IT CONSTANTLY. IT EVEN OCCASIONALLY WHINES WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. MY OTHER ISSUE IS CHIRPING IN MOTOR. AT MY FIRST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, I INFORMED DEALERSHIP OF PROBLEMS WITH VARIOUS NOISES. I WAS TOLD THAT CHIRPING "WAS A PULLEY AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AN ANNOYING ISSUE AND NO SAFETY ISSUE AND SINCE IT WAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND I LIVED SO FAR AWAY I COULD TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP CLOSER TO MY HOME". I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD NOISES WERE FROM EXCESSIVE ROAD SALT. I LAUGHED AND TOLD ADVISOR THAT I KNOW HE GOES BY WHAT HIS TECH TELLS HIM BUT WE LIVE IN NC AND THERE WAS NO SALT IN JULY. I DIDN'T CARE WHAT CAUSED IT, I JUST WANTED IT FIXED. ALL SEEMED WELL UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT ALL STARTED AGAIN! BACK TO SHOP ONCE AGAIN...... AFTER COUPLE OF DAYS, DEALERSHIP CALLED WITH SOME NEWS. THEY DECIDED MY JEEP WITH 9000 MILES NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. FAST FORWARD A WEEK AND HALF, NO NEWS. NO WORD FROM DEALERSHIP, HAD TO CALL TO GET UPDATE AND LOOKS LIKE ALMOST ANOTHER WEEK BEFORE I MIGHT GET HER BACK. NOT A HAPPY JEEP OWNER *TR

ON FOUR OCCASIONS THE ENGINE STARTED RACING WHILE I WAS BRAKING. ON THE MOST RECENT OCCASION, I WAS TRYING TO STOP THE CAR FOR A WOMAN IN A CROSSWALK WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED RACING EVEN THOUGH I WAS BRAKING. THIS LASTED SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL IDLING. I WAS IN A MALL PARKING LOT

ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE STOPPED ON A STEEP INCLINE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. THIS CAUSED ME TO ROLE BACKWARDS THEN WHEN THE ENGINE ENGAGED, IT LOUNGED FORWARD ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE SITUATION FOR A LACK OF HILLS THEREFORE NOTHING WAS DONE. THIS COULD BE A REAL PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE NOT EXPECTING THE SITUATION TO HAPPEN.

MY JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON.. WHEN THE JEEP IS RUNNING IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO TURN OFF ... WELL IT HAS TWICE NOW ... THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPEN TWICE NOW FIRST TIME BACK ON 10/27/17.. DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS FIXED NOW AGAIN 11/13/17.. ITE HAS 51000 MILES ... THE SERVICE GUYS JAMES GARDINER IS TELLING ME IT NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE

THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES ILLUMINATE A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT, OTHER TIMES I HEAR DINGING, LIKE IF A SEAT BELT WAS NOT FASTENED, BUT SEAT BELTS ARE ON. THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, AND SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK OR NEUTRAL. PRESS BRAKE + SELECT GEAR". THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND CAN OCCUR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN, WHEN ACCELERATING, OR WHEN BRAKING. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, ON SURFACE STREETS, AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN WHEN I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING "4WD UNAVAILABLE". I THEN HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND AND LOST POWER TO ALL THE WHEELS. AFTER PULLING OVER, I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. I PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND A CLUNKING SOUND PERSISTED. WHEN GIVING THE VEHICLE GAS, THE ENGINE REV'D BUT NO POWER WENT TO THE WHEELS. I THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP.

STOP/START FEATURE DANGER: I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN, PULLING OUT FROM A DRIVEWAY IN HEAVY CROSS TRAFFIC. I WAS PULLING ONTO A FOUR LANE ROAD. JUST AS I STARTED TO LIFT MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, THE STOP/START FEATURE SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THERE WAS A FULL TWO SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE STARTED. THE CROSS TRAFFIC HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME. NORMALLY WHEN THE ENGINE THE RE-START DELAY IS SMALL, BUT BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS SHUTTING OFF AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THIS ADDED A SIGNIFICANT DELAY BEFORE THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS ONLY AN ISSUE IF THE ENGINE HAPPENS TO SHUT OFF RIGHT AT THE MOMENT YOU INTEND TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC.
