2017 JEEP SERVICE STIFTER COME ON SEVERAL TIME WHEN DRIVING, I HAVE TO STOP AND TURN IT OFF BEFORE I CAN TURN IT ON AGAIN TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND, MY JEEP MOVING THEN I TURN OFF JEEP AND SOMETIMES JERKING WHEN AM DRIVING BEFORE COMING TO A STOP I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HIT MY FROM BEHIND .

WHEN CAR WAS 1 YR OLD SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INCLUDING ALL GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS LIT AT SAME TIME. SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANT. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, SAME ISSUE, ASSEMBLY REPLACED AGAIN WITH WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS A NEW PART THAT CAME OUT TO DEAL WITH PROBLEM. 2 MONTHS LATER, SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS HAS TO DO WITH WIRING HARNESS AND SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. ALL TIMES, THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS MOVING.

WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION ON SEVERAL OCCASION NOW FOR 2 MONTHS, THE SHIFTER LIGHTS WILL ALL COME ON, THEN I GET A MESSAGE TO SERVICE SHIFTER SOON. WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN ENGINE OFF, USUALLY WAIT APPROX 2-3 MIN AND RESTART ENGINE THE SHIFTER LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF AND MESSAGE IS GONE.

WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL, IT THE RPMS WILL JUMP FROM BETWEEN 1 -2 TO 5 VERY QUICKLY AND THE SPEED WILL INCREASE FROM 65 MPH TO 75MPH FOR NO REASON. THIS OCCURS WHETHER I AM DRIVING ON A STRAIGHTAWAY, UP A HILL, OR DOWN HILL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY AND IS VERY SCARY.

MOTOR USES TWO QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. REAR ENDED POPPING AND GRINDS WHEN TAKING OFF.

THE MESSAGE SERVICE SHIFTER APPEARS ON THE MAIN DISPLAY, AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER CONSOLE LIGHT UP. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT'S HAPPENED IN THREE MONTHS. ONCE WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THE OTHER TWO TIMES WERE ON STARTUP FROM PARK. I HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY DRIVING ISSUES. YET.

CHEROKEE (2017) HAS ZF 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION. WHEN CHANGING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE OR DRIVE TO REVERSE TRANSMISSION IS SLOW TO RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN MAKING TURNS OR GOING UP A HILL AND PUSHING GAS PEDAL TO RECOVER SPEED. ENTERING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC OR PASSING HAS SLOW RESPONSE TO GAS PEDAL. JEEP SAYS IT'S NORMAL. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DIE FROM THIS.
