2018 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

THE BATTERY CONSTANTLY DIES WITHOUT ANY REASONING. I WILL PARK IT, AFTER IT SITS OVERNIGHT, IT DIES. MY NEIGHBOR HAS THE SAME YEAR MODEL JEEP I HAVE AND HIS STARTED DOING THE SAME THING LAST WEEK. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH 20Q7,2018 AND 2019 JEEP CHEROKEES.

7/12/19 - WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY JEEP SIGNALED A WARNING NOISE - WITH NO DIGITIZED WARNING AND THE D LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON MY GEAR SHIFT - THIS DISABLED MY VEHICLE. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD - TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE - TURNED IT BACK ON AND CONTINUED DRIVING. 8/06/19 - I STARTED MY VEHICLE TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING CAME ON MY DISPLAY AND ALL OF MY GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS (PRND) WERE ILLUMINATED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 3/2018 BRAND NEW - IT HAS UNDER 23K MILES.

2018 CHEROKEE WITH UNDER 15K MILES. UPON START UP, WARNING FOR "SERVICE SHIFTER" APPEARS ALONG WITH ALL LIGHTS ARE LIT UP ON SHIFTER. TURNING OFF IGNITION AND RESTARTING WILL MAKE MESSAGE DISAPPEAR. MECHANICS NOT SURE WHAT TRUE ISSUE IS. ON GOING ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. TODAY, MESSAGE WOULD NOT RESET. NO RECALL TO DATE.

FOR THE SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME ON AND ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR BOX LIT UP. PULLED OVER AND CUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND LIGHTS WENT OFF

"SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES. LIGHTS ON SHIFTER ALL CAME ON. ONLY CAME ON WITH LEFT HAND TURNS. FIRST TIME IN HAPPENED I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE ON RAMP. HAS HAPPENED AT 5 MPH AND 70 MPH. PULL OVER PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF ENGINE, WAIT A MINUTE, RESTART VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING IS FINE FOR A WHILE. IT CAN BE DAYS BETWEEN OR 3 TIMES IN A 5 MINUTE DRIVE. UP TO 9 TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING KEEPS COMING ON AND ALL PARK NUTURAL REV ALL LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME.TRANSMISSION BUCKS FEELS LIKE BEING REAR ENDED.BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES GOING TO KEEP GOING BACK WHILE IM STILL UNDER WARRANTY.HAPPENS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING MOSTLY ON THE FREEWAY WHERE YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF AND TRY TO LET IT RESET.A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I WAS DRIVING UP THE INTERSTATE AND I HEARD A DING. THE DISPLAY SAID " SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY GEAR SHIFT PNRD WERE ALL LIT UP RED. COULD NOT CLEAR DISPLAY. PARKED AND TURNED IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON AND IT CLEARED.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY ALMOST 5 HOURS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE MY DASH SCREEN POPPED UP WITH A WARNING SAYING THAT MY SHIFTER NEEDED SERVICED... WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GEAR SHIFTER ALL OF THE LIGHTS WERE LIT UP(P,R,N&D)...I FREAKED OUT AND PULLED OFF AT A GAS STATION PUT IT IN PARK TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITED A MINUTE... WHEN I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP ALL OF THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND IT WAS FINE... I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED IT TO HAPPEN IT LITERALLY HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE...

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A COUNTY ROAD AND THE ERROR NOISE WENT OFF. ON THE DASH I GOT A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' NOTICE AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER STAYED LIT RED ' P, R, N , D, AND THE - AND +'. I PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE CAR, WAITED A MINUTE AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WENT AWAY.
