2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE FLAT TOWING OUR JEEP LATITUDE BEHIND OUR MOTOR HOME AT 45MPH THE JEEP BEGAN TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. WE BOUGHT THE JEEP BRAND NEW IN 2015. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED WE NEEDED TO INSTALL A SPECIAL WIRE HARNESS. THE JEEP DEALER INSTALLED OUR TOWING PACKAGE SO THEY NEW IT WAS GOING TO BE TOWED. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS TUESDAY TO TRY AND REMEDY THIS DEATH WOBBLE AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. WE ARE LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT. FROM DOING RESEARCH ON SOCIAL MEDIA I WAS DIRECTED TO BULLETIN KL-08-022-16. WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION ON THIS BULLETIN. NOW OUR WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE 2 PART CHRYSLER WHEEL LUG NUTS RUST AND CANNOT BE REMOVED WHEN YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE!!!! HELP.

VERY SIMPLE, WHEN SHIFTING FROM 4 TO 5TH GEARS IN AN AUTOMATIC IT WILL BANG AND SHIFT VERY HARD. IT WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN INTO FIRST WITHOUT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT HESITATES AND IS VERY UNREADABLE. IN MY OPINION A SAFETY HAZARD. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL IT PRODUCES AN ENGINE CODE OR BREAKS. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SOLENOID SHIFTING AND COMPUTER TALKING TO ONE ANOTHER. CHRYSLER I THINK HAS CHANGE THE NEXT YEAR TRANSMISSION DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS A COMMON OCCURRENCE.

AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING, I HEARD A "DING" WHICH DIRECTED MY EYES TO THE SCREEN ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAD A MESSAGE THAT SAID "CAR MUST BE STOPPED TO SHIFT" "SHIFT INTO PARK". ALREADY CONFUSED, MY CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, AND I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY CAR. THIS IS NOT OKAY. I TURNED MY HAZARDS ON AND TURNED OFF MY CAR COMPLETELY. WHILE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I HAD TO WAIT A TOTAL OF 5 MINUTES BEFORE MY CAR WOULD TURN ON AGAIN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS, AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS, AS THEY CLAIM THEY ARE THE MOST AWARDED AMERICAN SUV. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE NOW.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE EXHIBITS A ROLLING STOP CONDITION WHICH HAPPENS BETWEEN 1-8 MPH. WHEN PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE RPMS CLIMB BUT VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE. SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR FROM THIRD AND SQUEALS THE TIRES PROPELLING IT FORWARD. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC,OR SLOWING DOWN MAKING A TURN IF I HAVE NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AND HESITATES TO ACCELERATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, WHEN IT DOES FINALLY SHIFT IT IS VERY HARD AND WILL LUNGE THE VEHICLE FORWARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARMAX (18020 HAWTHORNE BLVD, TORRANCE, CA 90504, (310) 896-3810) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEATS WERE NOT LATCHED CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO SCOTT ROBINSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (20900 HAWTHORNE BLVD, TORRANCE, CA 90503, 424 299-8800) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR SEATS WERE NOT ATTACHED CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PROJECT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE THE ROAD PROPERLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE HEADLIGHT COVERS HAD A SMOKEY FILM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

WHILE TOWING MY JEEP CHEROKEE BEHIND MY RV, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED SOMETHING KNOWN AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. THIS CAN BE VERY SERIOUS DANGER AS THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY RV WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY, IT WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. THINKING IT WAS MY RV, I SPENT $1200 TO HAVE MY RV EXAMINED ONLY TO FIND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS MY TOWED VEHICLE, A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE CAUSING THE MASSIVE VIBRATION. THIS CAN BE A VERY SERIOUS DANGER. THINKING IT WAS MY RV, I SPENT $1200 TO HAVE MY RV EXAMINED ONLY TO FIND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE CAUSING THE SEVERE VIBRATION. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO REQUIRE JEEP TO MITIGATE THIS KNOWN PROBLEM? WHAT KIND OF REQUIREMENT DID JEEP HAVE TO NOTIFY ME OF THIS ISSUE? MY SECOND PROBLEM AS TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AGAIN, THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS ALL JEEP CHEROKEES WITH THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION AND IS KNOWN TO JEEP BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE CLAIMED IT REQUIRED A COMPUTER UPDATE. THESE UPDATES NEVER CLEAR THE PROBLEM. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP, AND PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY FINDING A GEAR THEN LURCHES FORWARD. AS YOU COULD IMAGINE, THIS CAN LEAD TO FATAL ACCIDENTS. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE AGAINST JEEP?

KEY FOBS DON'T WORK AS THEY SHOULD. REMOTE START ONLY WORKS OCCASIONALLY , INDICATES "KEY FOB NOT DETECTED" WHEN I AM TRYING TO START THE CAR ALTHOUGH I AM HOLDING THE FOB IN MY HAND, WON'T OPEN THE DOOR WHEN I TOUCH THE DOOR HANDLE OR PUSH "UNLOCK", WON'T OPEN THE TAIL GATE ETC. SOMETIMES THE FOB WILL WORK BUT NOT OFTEN. NEW BATTERIES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.

SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM KEEPS COMING ON AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AND THEN FIXING IT . IT WON'T LET ME DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAS SLAMMED THE BRAKES ON ME WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING . I'VE LOOKED UP AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP .
