2017 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFTER FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON ANOTHER OCCASION AND THE SHIFTER WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000.

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE A "SERVICE SHIFTER" NOTIFICATION APPEARS ON DASH AND ALL LIGHTS BY SHIFTER ILLUMINATE, IN ORDER TO RESET YOU HAVE TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AND THEN IT MAY OR MAY NOT DO IT NEXT TIME YOU START VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO STOP YOU FROM SHIFTING VEHICLE INTO DESIRED GEAR HOWEVER IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL. MY JEEP IS CURRENTLY IN SHOP FOR REPAIR, THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THE BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS HAVE TO BE REPLACED PER A BULLETIN THAT IS CURRENTLY OUT BUT I HAVE TO PAY $100 FOR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY PEOPLE AND IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING.

I LEFT WORK TODAY AT 4PM MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A BRIDGE AND I NOTICED I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND TWO ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON ME AND I BROKE DOWN. I WAS STUCK ON A HIGH TRAFFICKING AREA ON A BRIDGE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I'VE HAD MY JEEP FOR 2 YEARS AND NEVER ONCE HAD ANY ISSUES AND NEVER ONCE FELT LIKE IT WASN'T A SAFE VEHICLE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY JEEP NOW AND WANT IT CHECKED OUT COMPLETELY BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN TO ME.

I HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN THE MORNING AND HEADING DOWN THE NEIGHBOORHOOD ROAD. ABOUT A HALF A MILE INTO MY DRIVE, THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR BEGAN TO COAST, I HAD LOST ENGINE POWER. I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND IT WAS UNRESPONSIVE. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASH AND IT WAS OUT. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR TO THE CURB. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TURN IT OVER AND START THE ENGINE. MY ENGINE IS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS LOW AND THE ENGINE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THERE IS A SHIFTER ERROR THAT COMES UP ON DASHBOARD AND ALL LIGHTS COME UP ON THE SHIFTER STICK WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE OVER ONE NIGHT WHILE I DRIVING AND I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. SEE LINKS BELOW.

MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK KEEPS GIVING ME A "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT/WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LIGHTS OR WARNING GOES AWAY WHEN I TURN MY JEEP OFF AND I RESTART IT. I CALLED AND WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO TAKE THE JEEP WHEN THE WARNING COMES UP BUT IT IS HARD TO GET IT THERE AS IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM NOT NEAR THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY DON'T COVER FIXING THE ISSUE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON WHEN STARTING VEHICLE UP AND WHEN DRIVING. TOOK INTO DEALER REPLACED SHIFTER AND LIGHT STILL COMES ON. BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. DEALER WILL NOT PROVIDE LOANER CARS AND VEHICLE IS ALMOST OUT OF WARRANTY, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED.

SERVICE SHIFTER NOTIFICATION POPPED UP ON THE DASHBOARD. READING FORUMS IT SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEPS. THIS ISSUE CAN BE FATAL AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. JEEP DEALERSHIPS REPLACE THE SHIFTER BUT THAT OFTEN DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE, BUT COSTS THE OWNER MONEY.

TWICE WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR IN CRUISE ON THE FREEWAY THE CENTER SCREEN DISPLAYED "SERVICE SHIFTER". ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER PANEL DISPLAYED RED. THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY AND THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED BOTH TIMES AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AFTER STOPPING.
