2017 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

CAR STARTED HAVING SHIFTING ISSUES WHEN AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, HAD TO TAKE FOOT OF THE GAS FOR IT TO SHIFT. WENT FOR MY OIL CHANGE AND TALKED ABOUT THIS THEY INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT WANT TO 'RECALL' ALL THE VEHICLES SO THEY WERE JUST FIXING IT WITH A NEW COMPUTER CHIP. THEY SAID IF IT CONTINUES TO LET THEM KNOW. WELL, IT'S STILL DOING IT BUT NOW I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR DINGING WHEN TURNING AS IF MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON BUT NOTHING APPEARS ON THE DASH BOARD. YESTERDAY I WENT AROUND A TURN IT DINGED BUT THEN ALSO A MESSAGE APPEAR SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE SHIFTER BEING PUT IN D. THE CAR HAD PRETTY MUCH DIED. TRIED RESTARTING IT WOULD JUST REV. THE BATTERY AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT APPEARED. WE WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN IT FINALLY TURNED OVER. I DO ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK THIS IS THE LAST THING I NEED IS TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE FAILED. LAW SUIT *PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN APRIL 2017, HAS 31,000 HIGHWAY MILES ON IT.

SERVICE SHIFTER HAS APPEARED ON MY DASH, CAR MAKES NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON MULTIPLE TIMES, ENGINE TURNS OFF AND WON'T TURN ON UNLESS YOU TAKE KEY OUT AND WAIT A COUPLE MINUTES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE GEAR SHIFTED ABRUPTLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK. IN ADDITION, THE "SERVICE THE SHIFTER" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEITH CHRYSLER JEEP (5500 CAPITAL BLVD, RALEIGH, NC 27616, 919-872-5500) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN UPDATED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SELECTOR BEZEL AND HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER PROMISED TO GET BACK WITH HER WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000.

TRANSMISSION STICKS - AFTER YOU ARE STOPPED AND THEN APPLY THE GAS, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE AND WHEN IT DOES, IT THEN "LAUNCHES" YOU. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT PROPERLY DOWNSHIFT - YOU WILL REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS TO START SLOWING DOWN AND IT SLOWS FOR A BRIEF SECOND AND THEN SURGES. REPAIRED WITH A COMPUTER REPROGRAM ON 5/1/18 AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. JEEP IS WELL AWARE OF THESE TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES AND REFUSES TO RECALL OR TO FIND A REPAIR TO FIX THE ISSUE. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSAND OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WHO HAVE MADE THE ISSUE KNOWN TO JEEP. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017 AND IT ONLY HAS 4150 MILES. I HAVE FILED A CONCERN WITH JEEP CORPORATE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME.

PER JEEP SERVICE THE VEHICLE CONSUMES OIL. WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHT, IT WILL JUST CUTOFF. BOTH TIMES WE EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE LEAVING A STOP SIGN. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN IT DIED. THIS IS THE SECOND PROBLEM IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS A BRAKING ISSUE THAT THE VEHICLE JUMPS WHEN IT YOU LET OFF THE BREAKS AND PUSH THEM AGAIN. THE DEALER DID A FIRMWARE UPGRADE ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT STILL HAS THE ISSUE JUST TO A LESSER EXTENT. I HAVE A CASE WITH FCA CASE #: 33883097 THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH.

SEVERE ISSUES WITH JEEP UNEXPECTEDLY SHAKING WHILE IDLE, AND WORSE DURING ACCELERATION AS IF IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME. ALSO ISSUES WITH SHIFTING. NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR ETC ON...TEMP, BATTERY, OIL ALL IN NORMAL RANGE. CURRENTLY UNRESOLVED. PURCHASED NEW, FIRST OWNER

. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS SO HARD AT TIMES IN LOW GEARS THAT IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE HIT FROM THE REAR. SHIFTING OF TRANS IS NOT SMOOTH AT LOW GEARS ESPECIALLY ON A INCLINE.THIS HAS HAPPEND MULTIPLE TIMES.

DRIVING JEEP WHEN "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME ON DASH. ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFTING PANEL BETWEEN SEATS CAME ON. CAR LOST POWER. WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF ROAD, LET SIT FOR ONE MINUTE AND RESTARTED. ALL WAS FINE. WAS TRAVELING ON LOCAL STREET AT 45 MPH.

JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE KEY IGNITION, KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION, AFTER PARKING TO JEEP, I TRIED PUTTING THE BREAK ON AND NOTHING HAPPENS, I COULD BE PARKING ON A FLAT PARKING LOT, OR IN MY DRIVE WAY, THIS HAS HAPPEN THREE TIMES AND THREE TIMES I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTING WRONG, BUT THIS KEEP HAPPING. I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR
