2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

DELAY IN SHIFTING GEARS, DELAY IN ACCELERATING, RPM RISES WITHOUT SLIGHT ACCELERATION. GEAR SHIFT REACTS LATE, CAR SHIFTS BACK AND FORTH . WILL START SHAKING WHILE ACCELERATING AT TIMES.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE HAS STALLED WHILE ACCELATERATING AT LEAST 8 OR 9 TIMES NOW, AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 7 MONTHS. IT STARTED WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE RPMS WOULD DROP DOWN SUNDDENLY WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. NOW, WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, OR AM ATTEMPTING TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY, MY VEHICLE WILL STALL, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, THE BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON AND I AM INSTRUCTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. IT TAKES A COUPLE OF TRIES FOR THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN. I FEEL VERY UNSAGFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS I AM AFRAID IT WILL TURN OFF AGAIN AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO AVOID TRAFFIC.

WHEN I START THE CAR IN THE MORNING STATIONARY, THE CAR LEAPS FORWARD AND THEN THE CAR ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. IVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUT DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE ISSUE SINCE THE ISSUE USUALLY ONLY OCCURS WHEN ENGINE IS COLD. ALSO, TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND REVS WHEN IN MOTION CHANGING SPEEDS USING CRUISE CONTROL. THE JEEP HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS SINCE IVE OWNED IT.

WHILE DRIVING, I'VE HAD TWO PROBLEMS. ONE WHERE WHEN MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 4TH TO 5TH THE WHOLE VEHICLE HITS REALLY HARD. IT'S A VERY SUDDEN AND HARD JERK. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS, TODAY, WE WERE DRIVING AND AT THE BEGINNING OF ACCELERATION, THE JEEP SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON RELATED TO THERMOSTAT LIFTGATE HAS BEEN LEAKING SINCE THE BEGINNING TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING OR DRAGGING CONSTANTLY

"TAKATA RECALL" JEEP HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE SINCE I BOUGHT IT, DRIVING AROUND YESTERDAY WITH NO ISSUE THEN PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE JEEP OFF. GOT MY KIDS LOADED UP AND STARTED THE JEEP NOW A BUNCH OF LIGHTS COVER MY DASH AND I CAN NOT SEARCH THROUGH THE MENU ON THE SCREEN. SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION. IT WILL VIOLENTLY JERK TWICE WHEN I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT IS SEARCHING FOR REVERSE AND ALSO WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE. LOOKED INTO FORMS AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN. YET IT HAS THE RECALLED TRANS AND IS OF THE YEAR AS WELL.

THE VEHICLE'S LOW OIL LIGHT INDICATOR ONLY FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN AND DOES NOT REMAIN ON. THIS ONLY TAKES PLACE WHEN THE CAR IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL AND THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS NO LEAKS BUT REQUIRES OIL EVERY 700 MILES OR SO. THE ENGINE RUNS OFF SYNTHETIC OIL WHICH SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED LESS FREQUENTLY, BUT THIS VEHICLE NEEDS OIL REPLACEMENT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS.

TRANSMISSION BANGS VERY HARD WHEN SHIFTING AROUND 40 MILES PER HOUR. IF TRAVELING UP AN INCLINE IT SEEMS TO WORSEN THE FORCE OF THE BANG. ALSO HAS A STUTTER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP IN 1ST GEAR THRU 2ND GEAR.

LEAKING IN LIFTGATE CAUSED ALL ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS TO FAIL ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY BRAKE POWER SUN ROOF STOP/START MODULE HEAD LIGHTS FOG LIGHTS SPEEDOMETER

PROBLEMS WITH SLOW KICKING INTO GEARS. LIKE IT IS SLIPPING. HARD SHIFTING. IT WILL ALSO UPSHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY GIVING A BURST OF SPEED.
