2017 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WHEN ACCELERATING IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS NOT SENDING ENOUGH POWER AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS ON A HIGHER GEAR AND ALSO THUDS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING.

SERVICE SHIFTER RANDOMLY COMES ON AND CAUSES SCREEN TO LOCK AND LIGHTS UP THE SHIFTER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE.

THE JEEP HAS 42K MILES. RECENTLY THE CAR SUDDENLY, WITHOUT ANY WARNING JUST QUIT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 WEEKS THIS HAPPENED. 5K MILES AGO I GOT AN SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE GOOD FOR 10K MILES. AT APPROX. 5K MILES WAS WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO DIE. I CONTACTED DEALER IN ELIZABETHTOWN KY AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE APPARENTLY WAS AWARE THAT FOR EVERY 1K MILES, A QUART OF OIL WAS USED. THIS WAS NEVER TOLD TO ME AND YET KNOWING THIS, THE DEALER TOLD ME I HAD TO HAVE THE 10K MILE OIL KNOWING I WOULD NEVER REACH THAT. HE SAID THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON A SENSOR THAT UNTIL THEY COULD SCHEDULE ME IN, I NEEDED TO POUR OIL INTO THE ENGINE WHICH I DID. MY LIFE WAS PLACED IN DIRE JEOPARDY. AND I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS OBSCENE USAGE OF OIL BY THIS MODEL. IF THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD CRACKED DUE TO THIS-THAN WHAT?

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON AT INTERMEDIATE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND ALL THE PRND LIGHTS COME ON. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN BACK ON AND IT'S GOOD FOR A WHILE.

MY BACK GATE/ TRUCK WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE AT ALL I PRESS THE BUTTON ON MY KEYS AND THE BUTTON ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GATE/TRUNK AND NOTHING THE ONLY WAS I CAN OPEN IT, IS IF WE CLAIM ON THE BACK AND MANUELING OPEN IT , WE TRIED EVERYTHING AND IT DOESN'T OPEN.

SHIFTER SENSOR LIGHTS KEEPS COMING ON AND ALL LIGHTS ON SHIFTER LIGHT UP RED, WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I HAVE TO STOP TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO PROCEED.HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR.

FACTORY INSTALLED TOW PACKAGE SIGNALS WHERE NOT ACTIVATED. HAD TO BRING TO DEALER AFTER TRYING TO SAFELY USE A TRAILER. DEALER HAD TO CONTACT JEEP STAR/BCM. TO ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM. DEFECT HAS PRESENT FROM DAY ONE, DID NOT HAD A REASON TO USE THE SYSTEM UNTIL NOW. DEALER ALSO DID NOT DETECT IN THE PRE-CUSTOMER RELEASE OF THE VEHICLE.

KEEP GETTING MESSAGE TO SERVICE SHIFTER AND DISPLAYS ON DASH CONTINUOUSLY ALL LIGHT ON SHIFTER LIGHT. SEEMS TO SHIFT VERY HARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET WITH MANY DIFFERENT YEARS OF VEHICLES. STARTED LAST YEAR 2019. STILL DOING AS OF TODAY 3/15/2021

I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION STOPPED YESTERDAY AND MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED LOST ALL POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES. DASHBOARD FLASHED 'CAR MUST BE IN NEUTRAL OR PARK TO SHIFT GEARS' AND WOULDN'T GO FORWARD, STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS UNTIL I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. TURNED OFF THE CAR TO TRY TO RESET IT AND TOOK A LONG TIME TO TURN OVER. WENT OUT WITH IT AGAIN THIS MORNING AND SAME THING BUT GOING ABOUT 20MPH. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AS I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR!!!!

EVERY TIME YOU HIT A BUMP YOU HEAR A RATTLE OR A LOUD CLUMP NOISE ! IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS FALLING APART OR LOSE : STRUTS HAVE TO BE CHANGED A LOT ON THIS VEHICLE ! NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT STRUTS BEING BAD !
