2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR- WARNING LIGHT APPEARS. ALL OF THE GEAR LIGHTS ARE LIT SIMULTANEOUSLY. THEY WON'T TURN OFF UNTIL I RESTART THE JEEP (2015 CHEROKEE) ONLY TO START A SHORT TIME LATER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND HAS OCCURRED ON STREETS.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE JEEP DIED ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED 2 DAYS (APRIL 4 & 5TH, 2021) IN A ROW. NO WARNING LIGHTS. I HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY AND OPEN THE DOOR TO RESET THE SYSTEM AND THEN IT FINALLY RESTARTED. TIRES PLUS REPORTS NO CODES WHEN DIAGNOSING. WAITING TO HEAR FROM JEEP.

MY CAR JUMPS FORWARD WHILE DRIVING AND REVERSING. RECENTLY BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY CAR JUMPED AND I HIT MY MAILBOX. THE JUMPING IS A BIG JUMP FORWARD THAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE I HIT SOMETHING EVERYTIME. IT JUMPS TYPICALLY EVERY OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE STALLS AND LOOSES POWER. THUMPING IN CERTAIN GEARS. STALLS AND THEN JERKS FORWARD . SOMETIMES DOES NOT WANT TO PICK UP SPEED EVEN WHEN HITTING GAS. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY ON CITY STREETS. RIDES SMOOTH WHEN ON HIGHWAY GOING HIGH SPEEDS. AT LOW SPEEDS JERKS AND STALLS. ALSO GAS TANK LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON NO ONE IS ABLE TO FIX IT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG.

THE OIL COOLING PART BROKE ON MY JEEP CHEROKEE, I NOTICED AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF OIL ON THE DRIVEWAY, BUT NONE OF MY 'ENGINE ISSUE WARNINGS' CAME UP SO IT MUST'VE BEEN IN THE LAST COUPLE MILES BEFORE I NOTICED THE PUDDLE ON MY DRIVEWAY. M Y MECHANIC SAID THAT HE'S SEEN THE PROBLEM ON A FEW CARS AND TRUCKS BEFORE REPAIRING MY JEEP. THE STRANG THING IS THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED. IT TOOK 2 AND 1/2 WEEKS TO GET THE PART, AND HIS PARTS DEALER HAD ORDERED 60. MY JEEP IS 2015, BUT HAS ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT. THE SERVICE CONTRACT HOLDER IS TRYING NOT TO ALLOW THE CLAIM. BUT I WILL USE THE INFORMATION HERE AND ELSEWHERE TO TRY TO CONVINCE THEM OTHERWISE. .

I WAS AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION GETTING READY TO TURN LEFT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE AUTO START CAUTIOUS SYMBOL SHOWED UP ON THE DASH AND THE ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON RIGHT BEFORE MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARDS BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF GETTING HIT. PUT THE JEEP INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER INTO A SHOPPING CENTER AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T LEAKING ANYTHING AND TO GIVE IT TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T SHUT OFF AGAIN. THEN THE NEXT DAY IT WAS SHAKING REALLY BAD IN IDLE AND KEPT THROWING THE SAME AUTO START CAUTION LIGHT ON THE DASH. THEN HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN TAKEN TO MECHANIC SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACK FOR CYLINDER 2 WERE CHANGED BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS.

AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO POP UP EVERY FEW MONTHS. THE JEEP HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED IT IN 2015.

THIS JEEP HAS 90K MILES ON IT. WE NOTICED A VERY SEVERE OIL LEAK AND DISCOVERED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING OUT OF THE ENGINE OIL COOLER FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PART TO MALFUNCTION. OIL IS LEAKING ON TO THE MANIFOLD AND ENGINE BLOCK. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE IF IGNORED. THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN BACK-ORDERED AND WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

MY 4WD UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND A LOUD KNOCKING/GRINDING SOUND AND SENSATION OCCURRED. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THERE IS AN ISSUE BUT NO RECALL YET. ONCE AT THE MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THAT MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL EXPLODED AND SHATTERED THE CASE AND THERE WAS FLUID EVERYWHERE. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND HE HAS PERSONALLY SERVICED VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE.
