2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES LAST TIME THE CAR SHUT DOWN WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY GRANSON IN CAR I WAS TERIFFIED

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, STALLS, HESITATES AT ACCELERATION AT ANY SPEED. PARTICULARLY WORRISOME WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS WHEN IT JEOPARDIZES OUR SAFETY! HAPPENS CONTINUALLY DESPITE THE JEEP DEALERSHIPS ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR. STILL TELLING US IT IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND A DAY AFTER SERVICE PROBLEM CONTINUES. NO FIX.

THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY SHIFTS HARD, OR DOES NOT SHIFT WHEN SUPPOSED TO. CONSTANT JERKING OF VEHICLE WHEN SPEEDING UP. SOMETIMES WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY WILL DO "COMPUTER UPDATES", BUT IT DOES NOT HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSING THE SPEED TO INCREASE TO APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH BEFORE DECREASING TO 40 MPH. THE CONTACT INDICATED THE SPEED WOULD NOT EXCEED OVER 40 MPH AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED THE CHEROKEE A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAVE BEEN PLAGUED WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT JERKS AND WILL SURGE WHILE IN PARK. IT WON'T CHANGE GEARS AS IT SHOULD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THEY DID "FLASHES" AND "RELEARNS" FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PERFORMING EXACTLY AS BEFORE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V041000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V676000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES FOR MONTHS, BUT WOULD NOT RETURN THE CALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP FOR 2 SECONDS BEFORE IT ENGAGES, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK FORWARD VERY SHARPLY.

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. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS.

THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR IS ERRATIC. SOMETIMES IT DELAYS UPON ACCELERATION, SOMETIMES IT JERKS ON DECELERATION, AND SOMETIMES IT SHIFTS UNEVENLY.
