2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE THE WARNING CHIME GO OFF AND THE DASH READS "SERVICE SHIFTER"

THE SHIFTING IS DELAYED. I WILL BE STOPPED AND WHEN I GO TO START IT DELAYS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS WHEN PULLING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THE DELAY. IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

THE VEHICLES SERVICE SHIFTER COMES ON WHILE PARKED AND OR DRIVING (BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY) LOCKING THE DASH AS WELL AS LIGHTING UP THE GEARS. NEEDS REPLACED, IF IT'S NOT IT'LL LOCK UP AND PREVENT THE CAR FROM BEING PUT INTO PARK OR OTHER GEARS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, WARNINGS AUTO/START/STOP SYSTEM FAILURE. 4WD TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. CAR STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. LOSES ACCELERATION CITY AND RURAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. ENGINE KNOCK FROM PREMATURE CAM SHAFT WEAR.

DRIVING ALONG, "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE NEXT RED LIGHT, WHEN I PROCEEDED TO GO, ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE CAR MOVED EXTREMELY SLOW LIKE IT WASN'T IN GEAR. THIS HAPPEN EVERY TIME I STOPPED AND STARTED ON THE RETURN HOME AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I DROVE IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPEN. HAD IT SERVICED AT DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SHORT IN WIRING HARNESS THAT GOES TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. SEE CODE S55 PERTAINING TO TRANSMISSION MAY SHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY TO NEUTRAL. 2014 & 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE DATED AUG. 6, 2106.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND THERE WAS A DELAY DURING ACCELERATION, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE MORE THAN A FEW MILES PER HOUR, SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID BEING HIT. I WAITED A WHILE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN I TRIED DRIVING HOME, IT STARTED VERY SLOW UNTIL I GOT GOING AND THEN IT JERKED AND SHIFTED RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT RESET/ UPDATED.

THE SHIFTER LIGHTS UP RED IN ALL DRIVE NUMBERS AND LETTERS, WHEN DRIVING AND SITTING STILL, HAVE TO TURN OFF ENGINE THEN IT STOPS. I DONT WANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE SHIFTERS, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE!!

I PURCHASED VEHICLE NOVEMBER 2018 AND HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED AS OF DECEMBER 2019 MY VEHICLE WOULD STALL, SHIFT, AND CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WHICH VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY TO MYSELF, KIDS, AND OTHERS AROUND ME IN TRAFFIC.

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY LOW BEAMS 10+ TIMES THIS YEAR. THEY KEEP SHORTING OUR. ALSO HAVE TO HAVE MY ENGINE THERMOSTAT REPLACED EVEN THOUGH IT'S WORKING FINE. IT'S ELECTRICAL KEEPS CAUSING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. AND THE FIX IS REPLACING SOMETHING THAT IS FULLY WORKING. AND BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I CAN'T MAKW IT THROUGH DEQ TO GET TAGS FOR MY CAR. THIS IS THE 3RD (SEPARATE) ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR AND I'M DONE. KEEP SHOULD STAND UP FOR THEIR PRODUCT.
