I HAVE A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4 V6 JUST DID THE RECALL UPDATE WITH A OIL CHANGE. I ALSO WAS ALMOST HIT FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CAR WOULDNT GO AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT THRU TRAFFIC! I AM LUCKY THAT THE OTHER CAR DIDN'T HIT ME IT WAS WITHIN INCHES! IT ALSO SPEEDS UP AS I SLOW TO A STOP! THE TRANSMISSION LIGHTS AND THE A! COMES ON AFTER 4 UPDATES NOW IT SHIFTS BAD AND HAS BEEN THE THE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS WITH NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO NEXT! THE MECHANIC AT THE DICK HANNAH DEALERSHIP IS ON VACATION NOW! THEY SAID THEY ARE WAITING ON PARTS THEY ORDERED EVEN THOUGH HE HAS NOT TOOK THE TRANSMISSION APART YET! I GET 2 DIFFERENT STORIES FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP! I THINK THIS CAR WILL HURT SOMEONE IF THEY DONT FIX THIS ISSUE! AT THIS POINT I DONT FEEL SAFE WITH MY FAMILY IN THIS " FUTURE ACCIDENT MAKER"! I SPENT WELL OVER 35,000 FOR THIS CAR!

GOING DOWN HILL, THE CAR ACCELERATED 8 TO 12 MILES AN HOUR FASTER THAN THE CRUISE WAS SET FOR. CAR KEEPS ACCELERATING UNTIL YOU HIT THE BRAKE. DOES NOT HOLD THE SET CRUISE SPEED LIMIT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER 1 1/2 HOURS THEY TOLD ME MY CHEROKEE LIMITED WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH AN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE WRITER I JUST HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKE UNTIL THE DECLINE IS OVER AND THEN HIT RESUME ON THE PANEL. I KNOW THIS IS INCORRECT SO IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS? WE ARE TAKING A LONG DRIVE TRIP TO PENNSYLVANIA AND I WILL NEED THE CRUISE TO ENJOY MY TRIP. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION. UPDATED 10/15/15*JB

VEHICLE STARTED DISPLAYING MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) & HAD ERROR CODES U0402 & U1424. DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED RECALL R01 - FLASH OF TCM & PCM (TOOK ABOUT 3 HOURS). IN JUNE, I RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL R05, WHICH I HAD PERFORMED & ALSO ADVISED DEALERSHIP OF MIL LIGHT ( SAME ERROR CODES U0402 &U1424). DEALER PERFORMED R05 SERVICE & CLEARED ERROR CODES & ADVISED I SHOULD HAVE NO FURTHER ISSUES. JULY 2, THE MIL & THE START/STOP ERROR LIGHT CAME ON. THIS WAS APPROXIMATELY 11, 800 MILES. THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AFTER MULTIPLE DRIVE CYCLES OVER 4 DAYS, BUT CAME BACK ON MONDAY. I CALLED A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP & GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR SATURDAY, 7/11/15. BETWEEN MONDAY & THE APPOINTMENT, THE MIL & START/STOP ERROR LIGHTS WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON AFTER MULTIPLE DRIVE CYCLES. THIS HAPPENED 5 TIMES BETWEEN 7/2 & 7/11. EACH TIME, THE ERROR CODES WERE U0402 AND U1424. THE DEALER COULD NOT SEE THAT THE TCM & PCM FLASHES HAD BEEN DONE, SO THEY WERE DONE AGAIN (ALMOST 3 HOURS TO COMPLETE). I WAS ADVISED THIS SHOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. SEVERAL DRIVE CYCLES & 2 DAYS LATER, THE SAME 2 LIGHTS ARE BACK ON WITH THE SAME 2 ERROR CODES & I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK FOR THE 4TH TIME FOR THE SAME MALFUNCTION ERROR CODES. SINCE THIS IS TRANSMISSION-RELATED, I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE AT THIS POINT.

PURCHASED A NEW 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4/9/15. IN MAY (APPROX 700 MILES) I STATED TO NOTICE A WOBBLE WHEN ACCELERATING & THE VEHICLE LUNGED WHEN STOPPING & STARTING. THE LUNGE WAS SO POWERFUL THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE 5/29. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TCM MODULE. WOBBLE CAME BACK & BY JUNE 8TH IT WAS WOBBLING & HESITATING (ONCE IT HAPPENED IN AN INTERSECTION). I CALLED SERVICE DEPT ON JUNE 9TH. TOOK IT IN ON JUN 10TH TO HAVE ONE OF THEIR GUYS TAKE IT FOR A SPIN. WHILE WAITING, THEY TOLD ME JEEPS DO "CERTAIN THINGS OTHER CARS DON'T". I TOLD THEM I SEARCHED THE INTERNET & APPARENTLY THERE IS A KNOW PROBLEM & BROUGHT A PRINTOUT OF SOME OF THE OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. THEY SAID "CAN'T GO BY THAT"... I RODE WITH THEIR TECH & HE SAID HE NEVER FELT ANYTHING LIKE THAT. HE GOT HIS SERVICE MANAGER SO THEY GO TAKE IT FOR A RIDE TOGETHER. THEY REPLACED THE AXLES (6/12) BUT SAID THE WOBBLE IS STILL THERE. THEY'D CONTACTED CHRYSLER VIA EMAIL & WAS TOLD NOT TO DUMP ANYMORE PARTS IN THE VEHICLE. THEY KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS (BUT THEY WOULDN'T TELL THE DEALER) & A TCB WAS COMING OUT IN AUG. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE UNTIL THEN. THEY SAID (IN THEIR EMAIL) THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. REALLY? TOOK CAR BACK ON 7/3. WORK WAS DONE THE SAME DAY, THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TCM AGAIN. ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED TO GET GAS & WHEN LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE CAR LUNGED ME INTO THE ROAD! BY 7/7 THE WOBBLE WAS MORE INTENSE. BY 7/8 CAR WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, COULD BARELY KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. CALLED CASE MANAGER ON 7/9 SAID WHATEVER THEY DID MADE IT WORSE. HIS SOLUTION WAS TO TAKE BACK IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE I CAN'T DRIVE A CAR LIKE THAT! HE CALLED TO MAKE APPOINTMENT AND THE EARLIEST THEY HAD WAS 7/20 (11 DAYS LATER). THESE CARS ARE UNSAFE & SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT! PLEASE DO SOMETHING!

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 1,000 MILES. DEALER REPLACED WITH A REDESIGNED VERSION. I STARTED TO GET A WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY WERE REDESIGNING THE FRONT AXLES BUT THE FIX WASN'T OUT YET. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE METAL FRAME IN MY SUNROOF BROKE AND THE WEATHER STRIPPING FELL OUT AND I COULDN'T CLOSE THE SHADE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENTIRE SUNROOF ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS DEFECTIVE. THE WOBBLE CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND THE CAR WAS SHIFTING ROUGHER THAN EVER. I KEPT TELLING THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG, AND THEY SAID "THAT'S HOW THE NEW 9 SPEED TRANS BEHAVE". WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE SUNROOF REPLACEMENT I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE WOBBLE AND TRANS AGAIN, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT AXLE WAS INDEED BAD. THEY PUT IN THE REDESIGNED AXLES, AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE SUNROOF. I CONTINUE TO HAVE SERIOUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THEY PUT IN A NEW VALVE BODY AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. IT'S WORSE THAN EVER. I KEPT COMPLAINING TO JEEP AND ALL THEY SAID WAS "THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T REPLICATE YOUR PROBLEM." I ACTUALLY HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER IN THE CAR WITH ME AND HE VERIFIED THAT THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE PROPERLY- AND WHEN JEEP CALLED ME, THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. IT HESITATES WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS, THEN IT JERKS VERY HARD INTO SECOND GEAR, IT WILL ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN BECAUSE IT CAN'T FIND A GEAR TO DOWNSHIFT, AND THE ENGINE WILL SPONTANEOUSLY REV ON IT'S OWN IF I AM DESCENDING A HILL AND ITS TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT. THE CAR WILL LEAP FORWARD AND ACCELERATE UNTIL I PRESS THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH TO SLOW IT DOWN AND IT WILL FINALLY SHIFT. THE RPMS WILL GO UP FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER I'VE APPLIED THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE ALSO ROLLS SEVERAL INCHES AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK NOW.
