2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

VERY HARD SHIFTING 1-4 GEARS. BAD ENOUGH IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE GETTING REAR ENDED. ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN AT TIMES DURING SHIFTING. JUST TOOK IT TO A LOCAL ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THERE ARE RECALLS ON MILLIONS OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS BUT NOT ON MINE ACCORDING THE VIN NUMBER.

NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES RANGING FROM SHIFTING ERRORS TO ROUGH SHIFTING, AND RECENTLY, AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUTOFF NO LONGER WORKS. DESPITE CHRYSLER'S TRANSMISSION RECALLS, THE ISSUES CONTINUE. THE LATEST ISSUE, ON/OFF SWITCH, HAS NO SOLUTION ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. AND THEY HAVE SUBMITTED A STAR REPORT FOR ASSISTANCE. THAT WAS AFTER 5 DAYS OF HOLDING ON TO THE CAR.

SHIFTER SERVICE WARNING CONTINUOUSLY POPS UP ON THE DASH BOARD WHILE ALL LIGHTS BLINK RED ON THE STICK SHIFTER. THIS HAPPENS DAILY, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF IT'S CURRENT GEAR WHILE IN MOTION WHICH IS A MASSIVE LIABILITY AND DANGER TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. I HAD THE SHIFTER REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES AND THE WARNING LIGHT RETURNED AGAIN AT 40,000 MILES. THERE IS NOW AN "ELECTRICAL" WIRING ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND CERTAIN ASPECTS WERE RECALLED BUT NOT THE ENTIRE SHIFTER. IF I WERE TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED WHEN THE SHIFTER LOCKED UP I WOULD BE DEAD. EACH TIME THE WARNING APPEARS, YOU MUST PULL OVER WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO BEFORE IT LOCKS UP, TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS AND THE CAR OPERATES NORMAL FOR A SHORT TIME. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

ENTERING HWY 45 MPH . HOOD LATCH LETS'S GO AND HOOD FLYS UP AND CRASHES THE WINDSHIELD AND DENTS THE ROOF. SAFETY LATCH DIDN'T HOLD IT LIKE IT SHOULD NO THE OIL HAD NOT JUST BEEN CHECKED OR CHANGED.

FRONT HEADBEAMS ON HIGH ARE SO DIM, IT IS A DESIGN FLAW NO ONE EVEN FLASHES ME WHEN ON HIGH BEAM.

BRAKES ARE CONTANTLY BEING CHANGED. THE CAR SHAKES WHEN BRAKING AT ALL TIMES. BATTERY ALWAYS NEEDS CHARGED. THE CAR WILL TURN OFF UNEXPECTEDLY DUE TO BATTERY. IT HAS STOPPED AT STOP LIGHTS AND IT HAS STOPPED ON I70 GOING TOWARDS HAGERSTOWN, MD AND SEVERAL CITY STREETS. IT HAS BEEN CHANGED AND STILL NEEDS CHARGING. CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT GO TO SPEED DESIRED AND WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN DECREASING THE SPEED. SHIFTING GEARS SWITCHES TO NEUTRAL UNEXPECTEDLY. CAR ALSO LUNGES WHILE IN DRIVE AS IF GEARS HAVE BEEN CHANGED. THIS WILL HAPPEN ON ALL ROADS REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED.

THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHEN TOWING. WE HAD TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. IT SHOOK SO BAD IT SHOOK THE MOTOR HOME. WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY AND TURNING TO THE RIGHT.

MY RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF AS I DRIVE WHEN PAIRED WITH A PHONE AS AN OPERATING WIRELESS DEVICE. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME MOVING OR STILL.

CRUISE CONTROL WILL BE SET AND EITHER BE GOING 5MPH+ FASTER THAN WHAT IT'S SET AT, OR NOT SHUT OFF WHEN TURNED OFF . ALSO, CONSISTENTLY HAVING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' COME ON , AND THE SHIFTER WILL STOP WORKING AND LOCK IN THE GEAR IT'S IN OR LOCK WHEN PUT IN PARK AND NOT SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR.

VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN UPON REACHING 40MPH AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. VEHICLE LATER TURNED OFF WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH IN TRAFFIC WHILE IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THIS MADE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATOR INOPERABLE AND AT THE SAME TIME MADE THE VEHICLE LOSE SPEED SLOWING DOWN WHILE IN TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WAS NEARLY MISSED BY PASSING VEHICLES AND ALMOST HIT. EMERGENCY LIGHTS CAME ON AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL TO ALLOW FOR STEERING WHEEL TO NOT BE SO STIFF. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WHILE THE VEHICLE STILL HAD SOME TYPE OF MOMENTUM. I TRIED RESTARTING THE VEHICLE BUT THE DASHBOARD STATED "PLEASE WAIT FOR VEHICLE TO WARM UP TO START.' I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 20 MINUTES UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THEN ACTING NORMAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON REVISING THE FAULT CODE P2172 APPEARED.
