2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

CAR HAS BEEN STUTTER STARTING. ONCE IT FINALLY STARTS I GET AN ERROR CODE THAT SAYS SERVICE PARK BREAKS SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THEN WHEN PUTTING JEEP INTO GEAR THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT HARD AND YOU CAN FEEL THE CAR JERK AND HEAR A CLUNKING SOUND. ONCE YOU STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON A COUPLE OF TIMES THE ERROR MESSAGES WILL GO AWAY AND JEEP WILL DRIVE NORMALLY. TWO DAYS AGO JEEP HAD BEEN DRIVING NORMAL. I STOPPED TO GET GAS. AFTER FILLING MY TANK I RETURNED TO THE CAR TO START IT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER INSERTING AND TURNING THE KEY I WOULD NOT GET A CLICK OR NOTHING. I ALSO HAD NO LIGHTS, NOT ON THE DASH OR OUT SIDE OF THE CAR. AFTER TRYING TO JUMP START THE CAR UNSUCCESSFULLY I ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TOWED HOME. ONCE HOME THE BATTERY WAS REMOVED AND TAKEN TO BE TESTED. I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY WAS BAD SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND JEEP STARTED UP FINE HOWEVER AFTER STARTING I RECEIVED THE ERROR MESSAGE SERVICE PARK BREAK AND JEEP AGAIN WOULD SHIFT REALLY HARD. ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY JEEP STARTED RO DRIVE FINE. DROVE TO THE DOCTOR AND WHEN I PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE JEEP GOT STUCK IN NEUTRAL. FINALLY GOT THE JEEP TO GO INTO GEAR AND WENT TO DRIVE BACK HOME AND JEEP WOULD NOT SHIFT RIGHT AND AGAIN JUMPED INTO NEUTRAL WHERE IT GOT STUCK. FINALLY GOT HOME AND PARKED JEEP WAITING TO GET IT INTO THE DEALER NOW. JEEP HAS 95000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE HAD DIFFICULTY SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR AND THE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE TENDED TO OVERHEAT AND THE COOLANT BURNED OFF ALTHOUGH THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE OVERHEATING INDICATOR NOTIFIED THE DRIVER TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB MOORE CHRYSLER RAM DODGE JEEP (4627 S MEMORIAL DR, TULSA, OK 74145, 918-663-6343), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND STEPPED ON BRAKES BECAUSE CARS WERE SLOWING DOWN WHEN I BEGAN TO BRAKE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. MESSAGE SAID SHIFT TO PARK AND START ENGINE. CARS WERE HONKING. I DID WHAT IT READ AND IT TOOK SECONDS BUT TURNED BACK ON. IT TOOK SOME EXPLAINING TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER MY PERSONAL RESEARCH IN WAITING ROOM FOR 4 HOURS. THEY FOUND THE CODES?? IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT MORE SERIOUSLY ON A TOAD WITH TRAFFIC MOVING I STEPPED ON BRAKES TO MAKE A LEFT TURN BUT IT TURNED OFF! CARS SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. I DID WHAT MESSAGE SAID IT TOOK LONGER THIS TIME. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND IT TURNED OFF AGAIN WHEN I STEPPED ON BRAKES TO PARK. I CAN'T GET A DEALERSHIP TO HELP ME?? TOMORROW I'M GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT FOUND THE CODES IN JANUARY. THIS IS SCARY.

POWER TRAIN/ENGINE RECALL. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND IT DOES THIS ALL THE TIME. THEY SAID IT WAS SOME MODULE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED OR UPDATED AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND IT JUST THE OTHER NIGHT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I APPLIED MY BRAKES BECAUSE A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND THE JEEP LUNGED FORWARD THEN SLOWED DOWN. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AMONGST OTHERS WITH JEEP CHEROKEES BECAUSE I HAVE ASKED MY NEIGHBOR AND OTHERS IVE MET WITH JEEP CHEROKEE'S AND THEY HAVE ALL MENTIONED THIS HAPPENS TO THEM AS WELL. IT IS IN THE JEEP FORUMS, WHY IS THIS ISSUE NOT FIXED, TO BE HONEST I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I'M IN THE MILITARY AND HAVE TO DRIVE OVER 60 MILES PER DAY TO AND FROM WORK AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT HAPPENS PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

"SHIFTER NEED SERVICE" WARNING MESSAGE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WIDELY NOTED ON GOOGLE AS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, ALL POSITION LIGHTS ON SHIFTER COMES ON. SOMETIMES VEHICLE WILL STALL. USUALLY WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THERE IS NO MORE PROBLEM. IT WILL RECUR AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS. MY DEALER DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT SOME APPARENTLY REPLACE SHIFTERS AND/OR ITS WIRING AND WIRING HARNESSES, AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT HAS LED TO MY VEHICLE JUST TURNING OFF OR SHUTTING DOWN AT DANGEROUS TIMES SUCH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH DIFFICULT RESTART. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES WHILE OR AFTER MAKING A TURN. VAN BE ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS OT WORSE THE HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE MESSAGE.

THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON A DOWNHILL SITUATION. IT BECOMES DIFFICULT NOT TO HIT STOPPED VEHICLES AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL AT RED LIGHTS. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT ALWAYS DISENGAGE WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, I HAVE HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION SEVERAL TIMES. CONTACTED DEALER, MAD APPOINTMENT FOR A SCAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, DECELERATED, AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND ACCELERATED MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER A WHILE, THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED STUCK IN DRIVE AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, "SERVICE TRANSMISSION", "SERVICE ABS", AND "SERVICE SHIFTER" WERE DISPLAYED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO GULF COAST CHRYSLER JEEP (3781 S MCKENZIE ST, FOLEY, AL 36535, (251) 943-5075) WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

MY AUTOMATIC REAR HATCH STOPPED WORKING AFTER A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER FROM A COOLER LEAKED IN MY "TRUNK". I CHECKED THE FUSE FOR THE HATCH AND IT BLEW, I SWAPPED IT OUT AND SMOKE BEGAN TO POUR FROM THE REAR OF MY JEEP (THE TRUNK) THEN A FIRE ERUPTED, SEVERELY DAMAGING MY CHEROKEE. THE JEEP WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND DUE TO THE FIRE BEING NEAR THE GAS TANK I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO THE STREET OUT OF FEAR IT WOULD HURT MY FAMILY. THERE IS A RECALL RE: THE HATCH MOTOR MODULE GETTING WET AND CAUSING A FIRE WHICH I HAD PERFORMED IN 2016. THIS PART IS FAULTY AND ALMOST HARMED ME/FAMILY AND NOW I AM OUT MY DEDUCTIBLE AND CAR RENTAL COSTS. NO ONE FROM CHRYSLER OR JEEP WILL CALL ME BACK.

MY CAR HAS BEEN "JUMPY". AS I AM IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT OR STREET SIGN, THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD TO WHERE IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE I AM BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT BEEN ON SO I DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' FLASHED ON MY SCREEN AS I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED. AS I WAS EXITING, I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME BUT MY CAR STILL LUNGED FORWARD. I PULLED OVER. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR ON, AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD AS I WAS STILL HOLDING THE BREAKS.SERIOUSLY LUCKY TO NOT HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG, I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IT AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO BE SERVICED THIS MORNING AT A DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED AND SAID THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER WAS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE TRANSMISSION TO DETECT THE PROBLEM BUT THE TECH ASSERTED THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT THEY WILL BE HAVING TO RUN MORE DIAGNOSTIC AND LIKELY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

IT JUMP WHILE DRIVING AND GEARS GET STUCK. AND STEREO TURNS BLANK FOR SOME PERIOD TIME . TRANSMISSION BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE DAY I BOUGHT IT
