2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED WHILE DRIVING, SHE BLACKED OUT AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER STERNUM, HEAD AND LEGS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000.

TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. NUMEROUS DIFFICULT SHIFTING ISSUES, PARTICULARLY AFTER STOPPING AND RESTARTING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK AT LEAST THREE TIMES FOR REPROGRAMMING BUT THE CONDITION STILL EXISTS.

UCONNECT SYSTEM AND THE SCREEN PLACEMENT IS A DISTRACTION THAT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOSE SITE OF THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC. A RELOCATION AND REDUCED SCREEN SIZE COULD HELP ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. ONCE THERE WERE LAWS PROHIBITING SUCH DEVISES TO BE VISIBLE TO THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING???

SIDE VIEW MIRRORS' PLACEMENT BLOCKS VISIBILITY PARTICULARLY WHILE MANEUVERING IN PARKING LOTS CREATED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. MIRROR SHOULD BE MOUNTED HIGHER TO ELIMINATE VISION BLOCKAGE WHILE IMPROVING VISIBILITY.

WHEN AN OPERATOR SLOWS DOWN TO 5MPH TO A YIELD SIGN OR UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION, AND THEN ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE THE JEEP STICKS IN A HIGHER GEAR SUCH AS 3RD GEAR OR 4TH AND KEEPS AT A CONSTANT 5MPH SPEED AS IT ENTERS AN INTERSECTION. THE OPERATOR NOTICES THIS ISSUE AND PRESSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HARDER TO AVOID GETTING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER A FEW SECONDS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR THE JEEP FINALLY DOWNSHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR, SQUEALS THE TIRES AND ACCELERATES HARD THROWING THE OPERATOR AND OCCUPANTS INTO THE SEAT IN A WHIPLASH FASHION. THIS ALL HAPPENS IF THE OPERATOR IS NOT STRUCK BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. OPERATORS THIS PARTICULAR JEEP CHEROKEE ARE USE TO OTHER VEHICLES THAT ACCELERATES NORMALLY UNDER THIS CONDITION. THE JEEP HAS BEEN INTO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND THEY STATE "THE JEEP IS ACTING AS DESIGNED". A JEEP CARE NUMBER HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO THE ISSUE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS DATE.

VEHICLE HAS ROLLING STOP CONDITION (DESCRIPTION GIVEN BY JEEP TECHNICIAN) WHICH OCCURS BETWEEN 1 AND 3MPH. VEHICLE COMES TO A ROLLING STOP, TRANSMISSION WILL STAY IN THIRD GEAR AND HOLD THIRD GEAR. WHEN THE THROTTLE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED TO COMPLETE A TURN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. THEN SUDDENLY A VIOLENT TRANSMISSION KICK DOWN OCCURS CAUSING THE CAR TO DOWNSHIFT IN TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE JEEP TO LUNGE FORWARD AND SQUEAL THE TIRES. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS SECOND GEAR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED IN THE SOFTWARE UPDATE CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN. MY JEEP HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES. CHRYSLER IS NOW INVOLVED BECAUSE CROSSING INTERSECTIONS WHILE TURNING BELOW FOUR MPH IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THERE ARE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR (EXTRA WEIGHT) OR A INCLINE THE CONDITION IS EVEN WORSE. IT SEEMS EVERYTHING HAPPENED AFTER FIRST SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE. MY JEEP HAD NO ISSUES OF ANY KIND BEFORE THIS.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK HAS 5000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS REALLY HARD AND AT TIMES ON TAKE OFF IT STALLS REALLY BAD,ALMOST GOT ME HIT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING AND PERFORMIMG LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING VERY OFTEN. IM AFRAID ONE DAY ITS GONNA GET ME KILLED OR INJURED .
