2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST 7 MONTHS. FINALLY THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ERROR CODE. IMPLAUSABLE DATA FROM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ERROR CODE U0402. THE DEALERSHIP IS STATING THE IS SAFE TO DRIVE HOWEVER I QUESTION WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE IT IS DOING TO MY TRANSMISSION.

VEHICLE REGULARLY HAS DELAYED SHIFTING, LOSS OF ACCELERATION, ETC. DURING REGULAR TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THIS HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS DURING TRAFFIC MERGES AND CROSSINGS WITH NEAR COLLISIONS. THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF IN THE NEW CHEROKEE IS AN OVERLY COMPLICATED AND POORLY PERFORMING PRODUCT THAT FCA AND ITS DEALERS REFUSE TO FIX. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL MY CHEROKEE'S TRANSMISSION FAILS AND/OR CAUSES AN ACCIDENT.

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING NO WARNING ON ROADWAYS FREEWAYS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD BE A RESULT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,000. UPDATED 05/18/16*LJ *TR

VEHICLE TREMBLES ON OCCASIONS WHILE IN OPERATION AS IF IT IT'S GOING TO TURN OFF. ADDITIONALLY, THE MOTOR FEELS VERY FORCED ON OCCASIONS AND IT HAS STOPPED WHILE IN OPERATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE BACK SEAT DOOR HANDLES FALL OFF AND THE DASHBOARD KEEPS MAKING A RATTLING NOISE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN NOV '14. WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD JUMP INTO LOWER GEAR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. HOWEVER, MORE DANGEROUSLY, UPON COMING TO A NEAR STOP AND ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION WILL VERY SLUGGISHLY MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD, THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATE CAUSING THE TIRES TO BREAK TRACTION AND "PEEL OUT". I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN FOUR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, TWO BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, AND THE OTHER TWO BECAUSE I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS THE FRONT TIRES SPUN OUT OF CONTROL. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND IS A CLEAR SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE HAD MY JEEP AT A DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY SERVICE ON THIS MATTER TWICE NOW, WITH ABSOLUTELY ZERO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THEY "UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE" BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I ATTEMPTED A LEFT HAND TURN WITH NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION, WITH THE ENGINE AT 2,500 RPMS, VERY SLOWLY MOVED THE VEHICLE, THEN IT SPUN OUT THE FRONT TIRES ALMOST COLLIDING ME WITH A SCHOOL BUS WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THIS TRANSMISSION IS DANGEROUS, JEEP DOES NOT HAVE AN ADEQUATE FIX TO THIS PROBLEM, AND MY VEHICLE WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE. I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE EXPIRATION, I WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT JEEP HAS AN ADEQUATE FIX TO THE PROBLEM.

HAVE HAD SERIOUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE APPROX. 1800 MILES. HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION "FLASHED" NUMEROUS TIMES. IT GETS WORSE EACH TIME. STALLS, WON'T ACCELERATE, HANGS IN GEAR, HESITATES, JERKS, JUMPS, IF TRYING TO GET INTO TRAFFIC OR GO ACROSS A BUSY ROAD, YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO GO OR NOT. VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE OWNED OVER 100 VEHICLES (AGE 71) AND THIS IS THE WORSE TRANSMISSION I HAVE EVER HAD. JEEP HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM., SO I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL. THE PROBLEM WAS EVIDENT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS INTRODUCED AND HELD UP THE INITIAL INTRODUCTION. AFTER 3 YEARS STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE 2106'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMPS DID NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH LIGHT. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ILLUMINATED, THEY WERE STILL DIMLY LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMPS NEEDED TO BE RAISED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, VISIBILITY WAS STILL POOR WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INHERENT TO THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.
