2018 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

MY CAR ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES AND RECENTLY JUST PURCHASED IT 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT STARTED SAYING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' AND THE SHIFTS ALL LIGHT UP RED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE WITH JEEPS. AN ISSUE THAT NEVER SEEMS TO GO AWAY REGARDLESS OF TAKING IT TO A SHOP

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE SHIFTER APPEARED ON DASH. HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE AND A COUPLE OF TIMES THE SHIFT SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON AND PRND ALL LIGHT UP...LOOKED IT UP ON LONG AND A LOT OF JEEPS HAVE THIS PROBLEM...THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO I WOULD BE SAFE AND NOW I'M SCARED THAT I WILL WRECK IF IT GOES OUT...WHEN THIS HAPPENED YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN GEAR AND CUT YOUR CAR OFF...BUT WHAT IF IT DOES IT WHILE I'M DRIVING

EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN I START THE VEHICLE OR WHILE I AM DRIVING IT A MESSAGE WILL POP UP ON MY DASHBOARD THAT SAYS 'SERVICE SHIFTER.' THE SHIFTER LIGHTS FLASH RED AND I GENERALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONCE. THE SHIFTER APPEARS TO FUNCTION PERFECTLY FINE, SO IT IS PUZZLING THAT I GET THIS REOCCURRING NOTIFICATION EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEARED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THE DRIVE, REVERSE, NEUTRAL AND OTHER DRIVE INDICATORS LIT UP IN RED.

ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR BOX TURN ON AND SAYS "SERVICE SHIFTER". HAPPENED ONCE A MONTH AND IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT.

MY 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT APPEARS ON MY DASH AND ALL OF THE GEAR LIGHT APPEAR SOLID RED ON MY SHIFTER, THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK OR WHEN I COME TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING, IT'S VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR ANOTHER MAJOR ISSUE ( OIL CONSUMPTION) AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES OF THE ERROR OCCURRING. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER'' LIGHT GOES AWAY. THERE NO WAY FOR THE DEALER TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY SAY THE CAN'T FIND ANY ERROR CODES WHEN I HAVE TIME STAMPED PICTURES ON MY PHONE OF THIS HAPPENING. I'M AFRAID THIS MIGHT LEAD TO AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OR SHIFTER FAILURE WHILE IN TRAFFIC DRIVING.

I HAVE 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 85353 MILES IT HAD SERVICE SHIFTER TWICE WHEN I WAS DRIVING SO I HAD TO PULL OVER ON HIGHWAY AND TURN OFF ENGINE AND TURN ON ENGINE SHIFT TO PARK THEN TO DRIVE

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT AT 33,000 MILES. I HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER JEEPS, SO I WANTED TO ALSO REPORT. THAT IS TOO MUCH. I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE MY JEEP IN FOR SERVICE RIGHT AWAY, AND THEN COVID HAPPENED, SO NOW I'M WAY PAST MY WARRANTY MILES SO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT FIXED.

EXCESSIVE OIL LOSS IN ENGINE. LITTLE OIL ON DIPSTICK. OIL CHANGE IS NOT DUE FOR ANOTHER 4,774 MILES. VEHICLE STALLS WHEN DRIVING NO MORE THAN 1/2 MILE.
