2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE IN MOTION; WHEN REMOVING FOOT FROM ACCELLERATOR TO COAST OR BRAKE, BUT BEFORE APPLYING BRAKE, VEHICLE BOLTS FORWARD AND ACCELERATES. THIS COULD BE A HAZZARD IN ICE OR SNOW OR CLOSE TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. NOTED TO DEALER AND THEY STATED ITS A KNOWN ISSUE NOTHING THEY CAN DO! HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BUT ESP ON DOWNHILL; GOOGLE AND LOTS OF COMPLAINTS!

2015 CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK WITH 4K MILES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. NOT A GOOD THING WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC AND YOUR VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE ALSO HAD VERY HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFT WHEN COMING TO A STOP THAT WILL LITERALLY THROW YOU AND THE VEHICLE FORWARD. A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY IT IS WORSE AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SO I HAVE YET TO NOTIFY THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THEY REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIGURE THIS OUT FASTER THEN WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR GET SERIOUSLY HURT.

JEEP 2015 CHEROKEE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION IN HIGH SPEED LANE OF HIGHWAYIN HEAVY TRAFFIC. UPON RESTARTING, CAR WAS STUCK SOMEWHERE AROUND 3RD OR 4TH GEAR. ENGINE WAS SKIPPING.

OUR CHEROKEE LATITUDE WAS AT 4,800 MILES WHEN IT SUDDENLY FLASHED SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND SERVICE ENGINE. WE WERE STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH ALLOWED US OFF OF THE INTERSTATE TO SAFETY BUT WE WERE NEARLY HIT TRYING TO GET TO A PULL OFF AREA AS IT WOULDN'T PICK UP SPEED ONCE IT SLOWED DOWN. THEN IT JUMPED AND BANGED TO SHIFT OFF DUE TO THE START\STOP WHICH WE QUICKLY TURNED OFF AND WERE GLAD WE DIDN'T RAM ANYONE. ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF FOR AWHILE IT RESET ITSELF AND WE TRIED GETTING TO THE NEXT TOWN SINCE WE WERE IN A TRIP. IT DID IT AGAIN, SO WE CALLED THE NEAREST DEALER. THEY SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF A RECALL AND WOULD CALL US BACK TO HELP BUT NEVER DID. WE MANAGED TO GET IT BACK HOME AFTER IT SAT OFF FOR AWHILE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A LOANER FROM OUR DEALERSHIP. IT SEEMS LIKE MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE LOTS OF TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS!

JULY 31, 2015: VEHICLE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING (8-10 MILES) IN MORNING AND AGAIN IN AFTERNOON. IN PM TURNED OF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED, VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS INCLUDING TRANSMISSION REQUIRES SERVICE WARNINGS APPEARED AND TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN ONE GEAR. JULY 31-AUGUSTS1 JEEP WAS AT DEALER FOR COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT (APPROXIMATELY 5500 MILES). OCTOBER 5-OCTOBER 7 VEHICLE LEFT WITH DEALER DUE TO CONTINUED TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE PERIODICALLY CLUNKS AND JERKS FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING INTO LOW GEAR WHEN COMING TO A STOP. BECOMES CONFUSED WHEN SLOWING TO A ROLLING STOP, AND HESITATES TO TAKE OFF WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. CURRENTLY WHEN DRIVING IN DAYLIGHT THE AUTO HEADLIGHTS PERIODICALLY FLICKER ON AND OFF WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH A SHADOW AND MAKE VIEWING DISPLAYS IN DAYLIGHT PROBLEMATIC. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE SAYS THAT THEY COULD FIND NO ERROR CODES AND WITHOUT "REPLICATING THE PROBLEM" OR HAVING ERROR CODES THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

I WAS TRYING TO CONTINUE THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. IT REVVED UP, BUT DID NOT ACCELERATE. I LOOKED DOWN AT MY GEAR SHIFT AND IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE, HOWEVER MY DASHBOARD SAID THAT THE JEEP WAS IN NEUTRAL. BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTINUE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, I WAS REAR ENDED BY THE PERSON BEHIND ME.

COMPLETED A NEW LEASE FOR A 2015 CHEROKEE 4X4 LIMITED ON 10.08. THE NEXT MORNING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS I MADE A LEFT TURN INTO A FIVE LANE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A LOT. DEALERSHIP TOWED IT AND WITHIN A WEEK REPLACED VALVE BODY. WHEN I PICKED UP CAR, THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN ON THE PORTER WHO BROUGHT THE CAR TO ME- SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND BREAK LIGHTS ON AGAIN (BOTH HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE LOST POWER THE FIRST TIME). THEY KEPT THE CAR AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. TWO DAYS LATER, THE CAR IS MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE WHILE IN PARK- POSSIBLE BURNING SMELL COMING FROM REAR OF CARE WHERE THE NOISE IS MOST PREVALENT. WILL RETURN TO DEALER TODAY BUT VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS NEW VEHICLE OF ME AND MY TWO YOUNG SONS.
