2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

THE JEEP TURNED OFF WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES. THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF, SHE WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE JEEP OFF AND SHIFT TO PARK. SHE WOULD THEN HAVE TO START THE JEEP AND PUT IT INTO GEAR TO DRIVE. ALL THESE STEPS HAD TO BE DONE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ONE TIME SHE WAS TURNING LEFT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO FIX, THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE SAID THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED (CHARGED US OVER $100). THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND GAVE US THE JEEP BACK. TWO MONTHS LATER THE JEEP DID THE SAME THING. THIS TIME IN OUR DRIVEWAY (NOT AS SCARY). I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY HAD THE JEEP 1 WEEK AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME TO COME GET THE JEEP. I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THIS ANSWER (MY WIFE AND TWO BOYS DRIVE THIS JEEP). I EMAILED THE CEO OF CHRYSLER FCA US LLC MY CONCERNS. I WAS CALLED BACK BY REGINA KNOX. SHE HAD THE DEALER KEEP THE AUTO FOR ANOTHER WEEK. THEY STILL DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. I WAS TOLD TO GET THE CAR AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I TOLD HER I FELT THE JEEP WAS UNSAFE. I TOLD HER I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE IT. SHE SAID "I CANNOT BUY IT FROM YOU", SHE DID OFFER ME EMPLOYEE PRICING IF I WANTED ANOTHER NEW AUTO FROM CHRYSLER. THE ERROR MESSAGE READS "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR"

THE ENGINE LOSES LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL CAUSING THE CAR AIR FLOW SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE CAR NEEDS OIL AND ECS WARNING BLINKS. HOWEVER, THE CAR OIL INDICATOR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE CAR NEEDS OIL. THIS SAME IDENTICAL SITUATION HAS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIME, STARTING ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE SUV IN SEPTEMBER 2015. EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAS BEEN NOTED IN THE RECORD. HOWEVER, THIS TIME, THE AUTOMOBILE TECH INFORM ME OF THE PROBLEM WITH CAR AND NOTED THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER ENGINES. THOSE PARTICULAR ENGINES ARE ALSO IN THE CHRYSLER 200.

I GET A " SERVICE SHIFTER" POP UPON THE DASH AND THE GEAR CHANGERS TURNS RED. CONTACTED TWO DEALERSHIPS AND BOTH STATED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. THE SERVICE SHIFTER DOES NOT POP UP ALL THE TIMES. IT IS NOT CONSISTENT SOMETIMES IT POPS UP BUT NOT ALL THE TIME.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN BETWEEN 25-35MPH, THE TRANSMISSION 'CLUNKS' VIOLENTLY AND THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES AND IT IS VERY LOUD. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE; FIRST TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH THEY SUPPOSEDLY DID, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. I HAD IT IN AGAIN AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THAT IT IS 'NORMAL', AND TO JUST DRIVE IT SO THE COMPUTER CAN 'LEARN MY DRIVING HABITS'. WHAT??? THIS IS MY FOURTH JEEP AND I'VE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. I BOUGHT IT USED AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT A MONTH AND FEEL I'M STUCK WITH A LEMON.
