2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE IN MOTION, I WOULD GET A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING "SERVICE SHIFTER." I'VE SEEN THIS MESSAGE POP UP ABOUT 10 TIMES NOW WITHIN A THE LAST 6 MONTH SPAN. I'VE GOTTEN IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN 2017. MY VEHICLE IS AT 75K MILES.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR BOX ALL LIT NO CHANGE WHEN OUT INTO GEAR

CAR STALLING AT LOW SPEED AND ALSO AT STOP. TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET MOVING AGAIN. WENT IN FOR SERVICE AND CAR VIRTUALLY OUT OF OIL. WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE. LESS THAN EVERY 1000 MILES THERE IS AN OIL LOSS OF ATLEAST A QUART NEEDING TO BE ADDED AT OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND ANY TYPE OF RESOLUTION FEELS WORLDS AWAY WHEN OUR SAFETY IS JEOPARDIZED.

AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE PROBLEM ORIGINATED FROM A FAULTY EVAPORATOR SYSTEM. CURRENTLY, THE REPAIR ESTIMATES IS OVER $2000 DUE TO REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR, COMPRESSOR AND FREON. BASED ON JEEP BLOGS, IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED THAT JEEP HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS FAULTY EVAPORATOR PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. PER JEEP BLOG, ANOTHER GRAND CHEROKEE OWNER WROTE: DEALER'S SERVICE WRITER IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT 85% OF THE TIME WHEN THE A/C GOES OUT IN THIS VEHICLE IT'S THE EVAPORATOR INSIDE THE CAR BEHIND THE DASH. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION BY THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN THAT'S WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF THEY REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR WITH THE SAME PART AND HE SAID NO, THEY NOW USE A DIFFERENT SKU REPLACEMENT EVAPORATOR. OBVIOUSLY, JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS MADE CHANGES TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP SIGN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, IT ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUSTIN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2905 W OAKLAND AVE, AUSTIN, MN 55912, (507) 433-8877) FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSIS, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 58760311. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,457.

THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND REQUIRED A TOW TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNDER WARRANTY, JEEP DENIED THE WARRANTY CLAIM, AND COULDN'T TELL ME WHY IT HAPPENED.

SERVICE SHIFTER SERVICE SHIFTER KEEPS POPPING UP AS I'M DRIVING. STREETS AND HIGHWAY.

"SERVICE SHIFTER"WARNING INTERMITTENTLY STAYING ON. RESETS SOMETIMES BY RESTARTING CAR.. WAS SERVICED FOR THIS TWICE BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. NOT SURE WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF IT COMPLETELY FAILS WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS MOVING OR STATIONARY.

MY JEEP SHIFTER SERVICE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT APPROX 46650 MILES. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC (ACTIVE MILITARY OVERSEAS) AND HE SAID I'M ONE OF SEVERAL JEEPS HE HAS SEEN THIS WEEK WHO HAVE COME IN WITH THE SAME CONCERN. RIGHT NOW MY CAR STILL OPERATES NORMAL WITH THE EXCEPTION. OF THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE NOT GOING AWAY BUT IT'S ODD THAT SO MANY VEHICLES IN THIS AREA WOULD HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM AT THE SAME TIME.

WAS PARKED AT THE STORE GOT IN AND STARTED IT. IT HICCUPED ON STARTING. SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND A HUGE CLUNK HAPPENED. I REVERED AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE AGAIN A HUGE CLUNK. ONCE DRIVING IT HAD NO POWER AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE CAME ON.
