2017 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

THE SERVICE SHIFTER HAS COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES LATELY AND IT REQUIRES ME TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN COMPLETELY. ONCE RESTARTED THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY UNTIL ABOUT ANOTHER 300 MILES OR SO AND THE SERVICE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. RECENTLY MY CAR WILL SHOW SERVICE SHIFTER THEN IT JUST SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I'VE BEEN SEEING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND IT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE SOMETHING THEY INVESTIGATE AND RECALL IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO JUST BE DRIVING AND YOUR CAR DECIDES TO SHUT OFF. *TR

FOR OVER A MONTH NOW I'VE RECEIVED"SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE. CAR SHAKES BADLY AND LOSES POWER AS IF ITS GOING TO SHUT OFF. THREE DIFFERENT TIMES IT DID SHUT OFF AND STRUGGLED TO RE-CRANK! SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE GOES AWAY AFTER TURNING THE JEEP OFF & BACK ON. VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (OR ANYWHERE)!!! PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND IS UP TO DATE ON OIL CHANGES, ETC. JEEP ALSO BURNS MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN (5 PLUS INFANT). WE WERE TRAVELING ~20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN. THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING AS WE WERE TRAVELING DOWNHILL, AND WAS IN THE DRIVE GEAR. WE WERE UNABLE TO STOP AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO PULL OFF IMMEDIATELY. THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING FIRST, THEN THE BRAKE STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. I HAD TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND JAM MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE SITUATION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ONCE THE CAR STOPPED, WE TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER POWER CYCLING THE CAR, IT RETURNED TO OPERATING AS EXPECTED. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW AT 19,000 MILES IT KEEPS SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THIS HAPPENING TO ALL JEEP CHEROKEES AT THE MILEAGE. AND OVER. *TR

SHIFTER SERVICE WARNING LIGHT HAS CAME ON AT 48,000 MILES AND GOES OFF WHEN I RESTART MY VEHICLE BUT HAS CAME BACK ON REPEATEDLY AFTERWARDS. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER I'M DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINS AND WHEN I PUT MY JEEP IN PARK AND THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL OF THE SHIFTER LIGHTS TURN RED.

WHILE DRIVING, SERVICE SHIFTER WILL DISPLAY ON DASH AND ALL LIGHTS AT SHIFTER WILL LIGHT UP. TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON GETS RID OF THE MESSAGE FOR A WHILE, BUT IT COMES BACK ON AFTER A FEW MILES---MOST OF THE TIME. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT DEALERS AND GOT DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTICS. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE AND SOMETIMES A MILE DOWN THE ROAD, AND SOMETIMES AFTER 300 MILES, BUT IT COMES ON A LOT AND IT IS WORRYING ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE ISSUE AND JEEP HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

I STARTED THE JEEP IN THE PARKING LOT AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIT UP AND A MESSAGE SAID SERVICE SHIFTER. *TR

AT 35000 MILES I GOT A DASH LIGHT SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 37000 MILES. THIS TIME I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DID NOT CLEAR THE MESSAGE. *TR

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NEWER JEEP CHEROKEES. IT WAS SUGGESTED I FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT SO WE CAN GET A RECALL. PRETTY MUCH EVERY CHEROKEE HAS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE 50000 MILES. *TR

CAR REVS UP LIKE IT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH, LOSS OF POWER, NO ACCELERATION. I WAS ON HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE SHOULDER SAFELY. SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN, PLACE INTO PARK AND RESTART, ETC.. DID NOT CATCH THEM ALL. PUT INTO PARK, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. REGAINED POWER BUT THE CAR STUTTERS AND SHAKES AT ABOUT 25 MPH, SEEMS LIKE IT IS MISSING OUT WHILE IDLING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES THE PAST MONTH. AT FIRST TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTART WOULD RUN FINE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. UNTIL YESTERDAY, NOW IT IS STUTTERING WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL STREETS. THE SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS ON. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES WHILE DRIVING BUT DOES NOT STAY ON ONCE PUT INTO PARK. *TR
