2018 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

I HAVE OIL LEAKING FROM BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND CYLINDER HEAD WHICH HAS LEAKED ENOUGH TO COAT THE ENGINE BLOCK AND IS ALSO LOSING COOLANT. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS A SEEPAGE SAYS IS NORMAL AND SAYS CHRYSLER WON'T FIX IT. SO ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER YOUR 2.4 ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO LEAK AND BURN OIL. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD.

WHILE DRIVING ABS, CHECK ENGINE, PARKING BRAKE LIGHT UP. BRAKES START TO SHAKE LIKE IF A TIRE IS SLIPPING BUT ITS NOT. STEERING WHEEL GETS STIFF. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD, ALL SYMPTOMS GO AWAY IF THE CAR IS WARM SOMETIMES. ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHEN IT WILL START DOING ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS AT ONCE. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE UP TO HIGH SPEEDS UNTIL WE TAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT BY THE DEALER.

THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" DISPLAY COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY DURING STARTUP AND WHEN PULLING IN TO A PARKING AREA. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE PLACED IN PARK, SHUT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND NO ODB CODE SHOWN IN MEMORY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE BY OWNERS BUT DEALERS CLAIM TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM.

CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO MAINTENANCE INDICATION ON DASH. I CHECK THE OIL AND THERE IS NO OIL EVEN AFTER A RECENT OIL CHANGE. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP CAR SERVICE. THIS HAS OCURRED 5 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. CAR SERVICE TEAM HAS CHANGED MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY TO EVERY 1300 MILES TO MONITOR OIL CONSUMPTION BUT HAVE NOT DETERMINED ROOT CAUSE. AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING (ALL 5 TIMES) ON CITY STREETS.

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AT 74,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 77,000 MILES WHILE IN MOTION.

MY SENSORS ONLY WORK SOMETIMES, MY KEY FOB ONLY WORKS WHEN IT WANTS. IT'S STARTING TO HAVE ISSUES. MY JEEP STOPPED WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN

SERVICE SHIFTER ILLUMINATES ON DASH AND ALL AUTO TRANSMISSION GEARS ON SHIFTER ILLUMINATE. OCCURS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES IN PAST WEEK. SEARCH OF INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS VERY COMMON AMONG THESES VEHICLES

DISPLAY INDICATES "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SELECTOR ARE LIT (PRND). THIS OCCURRED AT 30,000 MILES (CODE U1465 AND P1C86-1D) AND WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE SHIFTER. ISSUE IS REOCCURRING AT 50,000 MILES.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE SERVICE SHIFTER KEEPS COMING ON AND ALL THE GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ARE LIT UP. THE CAR WILL STALL OR COMPLETELY STOP OPERATING WHEN THIS OCCURS. IT OCCURS WHEN I AM DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC, HIGHWAY TRAFFIC OR STATIONARY.

SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW, IT HAS STALLED WHEN TURNING (USUALLY LEFT) WHEN THE OIL LEVEL GETS LOW. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PUT OIL IN IT FREQUENTLY AND THAT THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF IS A SAFETY MECHANISM. THE PROBLEM IS, THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS LOW. SO UNLESS I KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY MILES I HAVE DRIVEN, THE JEEP WILL JUST QUIT ON ME. I HAVE DEALT WITH THE ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF GETTING SLAMMED ON MY PASSENGER DOOR BECAUSE I STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IF A LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON, I WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE MORE OIL PUT IN, BUT I GET NO WARNING AT ALL. IT JUST QUITS. USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE ENCLOSED PICTURES ARE OF WHEN I HAD TO PUT OIL IN IT IN NOVEMBER. THE LAST EPISODE OF ALMOST GETTING HIT HAPPENED ON JAN 16.
