2014 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V338000 (Electrical System, Structurer) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the power liftgate failed to fully open and had to be manually closed. The failure mileage was 160,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

An unwanted activation of the emergency brake. When the car is parked or turned off and after turning on the vehicle - the service park brake turns on. After some time, the vehicle stalled and had to be towed to the dealership. Issues appear to be linked to a water leak within the vehicle’s engine block short-circuiting the electronic brake module. The leak damages the electronic brake module, and when the driver attempts to start the vehicle or shift into drive, it permanently shorts out. The vehicle is unable to move.

We had been having problems with how the car was running and took it in for service. As with the other over 1,000 complaints on here on the PTU UNIT, ours needs to be replaced. Of course our VIN number is not included in the recall even though the recall is listed when you just type in 2014 Jeep Cherokee. In fact, our VIN is only included in 9 out of 13 recalls. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS MANY PEOPLE ARE PAYING WELL OVER $3500 for this repair that appears to be affecting many 2014 Jeep Cherokees. I also have a friend who has the same Jeep and ended up trading theirs in rather than having to pay that money to repair it. Please include all VIN numbers in the PTU recalls.

As i was driving at Garden State Parkway in New Jersey at 65 mph, a flashing engine yellow light indicated: “Service transmission”, the car decelerated down to 30 mph, and a few miles after, another yellow light indicated: “transmission fluid overheating”. And the vehicle just stopped and did not move, and i did not even have a chance to bring it to a shop for inspection. The vehicle was towed to my home, which is for me not right. The mileage at this time is only 118,000 miles. NOTE: on July 28, 2019 while traveling to NJ ftom Washington DC at I-95, the vehicle just decelerated which was scary. Fortunately, I made it home, since the vehicle just came back to it’s normal performance. I have to bring the vehicle to my dealer since I still had the extended warranty on it. That time, the mileage was approximately below 70,000 miles. Between 70,000 miles and 118,000 miles, there were (3) different occasions when the vehicle did not move back (Rear) from Park (P) position. I ignored these issues since it just came back as drivable again after shutting off the engine after a few minutes.

While driving my 2014 jeep cherokee trailhawk, all power was lost, the power steering gave out and although I had vehicles behind me I was able to pull over to the side of the road safely. My daughter was also in the car with me. My jeep has has been sitting as a yard ornament in which I am still making payments on due to a failed PTU AFTER completing the software update that was issued as a recall. The total for the fix is well over three thousand dollars. WHY WONT JEEP FIX THIS? After researching, there are so many complaints regarding this same issue and after owning four jeeps total, this will be my last. Not only could this result in injury and or death, it can also cause damage to the transmission. Jeep refuses to fix their problem and like myself, will absolutely lose loyal jeep owners. I am ashamed of Jeep.

there is currently a recall, U90, on my jeep. this recall causes high emissions. my vehicle will not pass department of motor vehicles with high emissions. there is a back order for the part that will fix the recall. the recall has also caused codes to come on, which can lead to other malfunctions. if malfunctions due to this recall while i am driving it can be harmful to myself and others.
