2018 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

THE SHIFTER KEEP SAYING THAT IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED THE CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT . I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE HAS THE SAME ISSUE

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER THE FILTERS AND SO ON. EVERY TIME THE AC OR HEAT COMES ON THE CAR STARTS SHAKING AND JERKING WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING BACK IN TO POST THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING WHILE IN MOTION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE SPENT A TILE OF ABOUT 700-800$ ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIX.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH, MY JEEP GAVE "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND REDUCED POWER. ALL SHIFTER LIFTS WHERE LITE. I PULLED OVER AND CALL MY DEALER, THEY ADVISED ME TO TURN OFF ENGINE FOR 2 MINUTES AND RESTART MY JEEP, THIS SHOULD CLEAR IT. THIS WAS AT 34,000. IT DID CLEAR IT. IT HAPPEN AGAIN AT 35,900 MILES AND I DID WHAT I WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIME.. HAPPEN AGAIN AT 37,500 MILES, FINALLY GOT DEALER TO LOOK AT IT AND NOW THEY SAY I NEED A NEW BEZELS, HARNESS AND SHIFTER. I HAVE READ THIS HAS HAPPEN TO 1,000S OF OTHERS.

MY CAR WENT DEAD WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO THE SHOP AND SAID THERE WAS A "SOFTWARE UPDATE/RECALL" THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO USE MORE OIL THAN NORMAL AND I WAS DRIVING WITH NO OIL!!!!! THIS "RECALL" UPDATE HAD BEEN RELEASED "6 DAYS AGO" PER MY DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. WHY IS THIS RECALL NOT HERE? SOUNDS VERY STRANGE TO ME.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON ON DASH AFTER I STARTED MY JEEP, ALSO ALL THE RED LIGHTS NEXT TO THE SHIFTER WERE LIT UP. WOULD NOT TURN OFF UNTIL RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. HAVE READ MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR CHEROKEES. SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY JEEP!

I CONTINUE TO GET A SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ACROSS MULTIPLE YEARS OF CHEROKEES. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A BATTERY PROBLEM BUT AFTER A NEW BATTERY, I STILL RECEIVE THE WARNING. WARNING CAME ON WHILE PARKED, JUST AFTER STARTUP.

MY CAR IS SHOWING "CHECK SHIFTER" MESSAGE AFTER ONLY 11,000 MILES. ALL THE SHIFTER LIGHTS TURN ON RED. IT HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR TO PUT IN GEAR AND HAS BEEN COMING ON MORE AND MORE LATELY. USUALLY STAYS ON WHEN I FIRST START AND DOESNT SHUT OFF UNTIL I TURN OFF AND RESTART VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE THE NOTICE WAS GONE BUT RETURNED SEVERAL DAYS LATER. WHEN I GOOGLE WHAT A SERVICE SHIFTER WAS I SAW ALOT OF COMPLAINTS BY OTHER JEEP OWNERS. I THOUGHT I SHOULD ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE SHIFTER ALARM, ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFTER LIGHT UP. GOES AWAY WHEN VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. CAME BACK ON LESS THAN A WEEK LATER.

CAR BURNS OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE-POURING IN ABOUT A QUART PER WEEK. IF IT GETS TOO LOW (EVEN BEFORE SUGGESTED OIL CHANGE MILEAGE) THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHTS. THE ENTIRE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. CURRENTLY HAPPENED 3 TIMES TO ME-OIL WAS LOW EACH TIME. VERY SCARY!
