WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND RENDERING THE BRAKES AND THE GAS INEFFECTIVE... THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND IT SHUT OFF. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP, SHIFT TO PARK, AND RESTART THE ENGINE... IT PROCEEDED TO HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES, NO MATTER HOW FAST I WAS DRIVING.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE KEEPS POP UP RANDOMLY. IT STARTED AT AROUND 70,000 MILES. ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY. THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEE. IS THERE GOING TO BE A RECALL?

AFTER 10 DAYS VEHICLE STAYING IN MY HOUSE NOT USING I TRIED TO START ENGINE AND MY BATTERY WAS DOWN. BUY NEW BATTERY AND INSTAL AND WHEN I START THE ENGINE I GET ON MY DASH BUNCH OF WARNING LIGHTS ON AND MESSAGE. SERVICE PARKING BRAKE MY TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND WHEN YOU TRY TO SWITCH FROM PARKING TO DRIVE OR REVERSE GETTING CLUNK NOISE AND DRIVING ONLY IN ONE SPEED MAYBE 4 OR 5TH SPEED ON DASH BLINKING D OR R AND ODOMETER

I HAVE A "SERVICE SHIFTER" ERROR ILLUMINATING ON MY SCREEN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON THE SHIFT ITSELF. I TURN THE CAR BACK OFF AND THE LIGHTS GO AWAY, BUT THEY ALWAYS COME BACK ON. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ONLINE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE FORUMS EVERYWHERE ABOUT THIS. MANY PEOPLE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND GET IT FIXED AND IT DOESN'T FIT THE PROBLEM, JUST CREATES NEW ONES SO THEY ARE WASTING THEIR MONEY. MY ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN MY CAR IS IN PARK. NOT WHILE MOVING.

CAR HAS 77000 MILES AND OFTEN HAS JERKY ACCELERATION. YESTERDAY, TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE AND CAR WOULD. IT ACCELERATE BYMEYONE 40MPH

I WAS APPROACHING A 4 WAY STOP WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, GOING APPROX. 10MPH. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES BUT WAS UNABLE TO STOP, MAKING ME GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITH VEHICLES TURNING INTO MY LANE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ROCK SOLID AND LOCKED UP, AND WAS UNABLE TO BE PRESSED. DURING THAT TIME THE SERVICE ELCTRONIC BRAKING LIGHT POPULATED ON MY DASHBOARD.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO INTO NEUTRAL. NORMALLY, I AM DRIVING 15-25 MPS, THE RADIO AND HEAT/AC IS OFF. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. WHEN IT GOES INTO NEUTRAL I PRESS THE BRAKE (WHICH IS HARD) AND I PUT THE CAR ON PARK AND AFTER THE THIRD OR FOURTH TRY, IT FINALLY TURNS ON. THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN DURING THE DAY. IT ONLY HAPPENS IN THE MORNINGS.
