2017 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING I HEAR A NOTIFICATION BING AND THE DASH SAYS 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND ALL THE SHIFTER'S INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE SOLID RED. APPARENTLY THIS HAPPENS A LOT AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE ONLY TEMPORARILY RESETS THE COMPUTER TO ACCEPTABLE.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A 4 CAR PILE UP ON THE 3 LANE HIGHWAY. TRAFFIC ABRUPTLY STOPPED SEVERAL CARS IN FRONT OF US ON THE HIGHWAY AND CARS WERE SWERVING TO MISS THE TRAFFIC STOPPED. THE 2 CARS IN FRONT OF US AND OUR CAR WERE ALL ABLE TO GET STOPPED WITHOUT HITTING EACH OTHER. WE WERE STATIONARY (STOPPED) WHEN WE HEARD SQUEALING TIRES AND WERE REAR ENDED BY A F250 HAULING A TRAILER FULL OF FIREWOOD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS TRUCK THEN PUSHED US FORWARD INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. WHICH THEN PUSHED THAT CAR INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. SO, OUR VEHICLE WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AND THEN IN THE FRONT. THERE IS SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, AND IT HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY INSURANCE. MY CONCERN IS THAT NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED DURING THIS ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK PROPERLY. IT WAS PULLED ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT AND THEN LOCKED. MY HUSBAND IS NOT A BIG GUY SO IT SHOULD OF LOCKED RATHER QUICKLY AND NOT AT THE END OF THE BELT. AS A RESULT, OF THE MALFUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT MY HUSBAND FLEW FORWARD HITTING HIS FACE AND CHEST ON THE STEERING WHEEL. HE DID SUSTAIN INJURIES TO HIS FACE AND BODY FROM THE ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT ISSUED BE LOOKED AT. IT DOES APPEAR THAT SOME OTHER JEEP MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE SOME RECALLS FOR AIR BAG ISSUES. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF MY DAMAGED VEHICLE AND THE SEATBELT. *BF 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

I HAVE A FEW PROBLEMS THAT IS GOING ON WITH MY JEEP. ONE, THERE HAS BEEN A FEW OCCASIONS WHERE I AM DRIVING MY JEEP, AT A SLOW SPEED, AND IT WILL DING AND LOCK UP. THEN IT WILL SHUT OFF. 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.

AT 26,600 MILES (3 MONTHS AGO) MY JEEP STALLED UPON EXECUTING A LEFT TURN. NO PRIOR INDICATION. THE ENGINE JUST STALLED. TOOK 5 TIMES TO RESTART. APPARENTLY, MY OIL WAS EXTREMELY LOW WITHOUT VEHICLE INDICATION. OIL CHANGE PRIOR TO THIS FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT 21,676 MILES. NOW AT 28,900 MILES, AND MY VEHICLE STALLED THIS MORNING UPON EXECUTING A LEFT TURN AT 2 SEPARATE TIMES EN ROUTE TO WORK, IN AN INTERSECTION. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STALLS, THE IN CAB WARNING "DING" OCCURED, ENGINE STALLS, AND THE ENGINE AND BATTERY DASHBOARD INDICATORS ILLUMINATE. IT TAKES PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND 3-5 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. NO PRIOR DRIVER WARNINGS LEADING UP TO THE STALL.

"SHIFTER SERVICE" LIGHT THAT APPEARED ON MY DASH AND THE PRND LIGHTS ALL TURNING RED WHILE IN MOTION. PULLED OVER AND TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART LIGHTS WENT OUT. I GOOGLED ON INTERNET IS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. CAR HAS ONLY 50K MILES ON IT.

2017 JEEP CHEROKEE 80K MILES, AFTER SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE THE TO DRIVE, SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR MESSAGE ON SCREEN AS WELL AS ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFT PANEL P-R-D LIGHT UP RED. STOPPED VEHICLE, TURNED OFF, RESTARTED, LIGHTS WENT OFF. HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE WHILE PARKING AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. MULTIPLE REPORTED ISSUES WITH OTHER CHEROKEE'S EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. NO RECALL NOTICE OR BULLETIN AT DEALER, MAKING ME RESPONSIBLE FOR DIAGNOSTIC

THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON THEN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND HAD IT FIXED AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN. LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

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!!! I PARK THE CAR IN THE GARAGE SAME SPOT EVERY NIGHT. NOT A DROP ON THE FLOOR

SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR CAME ON WITH ALL LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTING IN RED. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, THINGS RETURNED TO NORMAL BUT WILL PROBABLY OCCUR AGAIN BASED ON OTHER INTERNET COMMENTS ABOUT THIS JEEP PROBLEM WITH THEIR WIRING HARNESS.

'SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER COME ON; PRND. MESSAGE GOES AWAY ONCE THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BUT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE.
