2014 JEEP Cherokee Problems

POWER TRAIN

919 complaints

The Jeep has a drivetrain defect involving the transmission and power transfer unit (PTU) that has existed since purchase and has progressively worsened over the years. From early on, the vehicle intermittently hesitated when accelerating from a complete stop, followed by sudden surging or lunging forward. Symptoms were reported to a Jeep dealership early after purchase while under warranty. Their inspections did not identify a defect at that time. Over time, the condition worsened and became more frequent, including hesitation on takeoff, bucking, and abnormal behavior when maneuvering at low speeds or turning the steering wheel to full lock in parking lot. This occurs unpredictably and creates a dangerous situation when entering intersections, making left turns across traffic, or merging, because the vehicle does not accelerate when expected and then suddenly surges. The Jeep was taken to an independent mechanic. After inspection and a test drive, the mechanic stated the condition was unsafe and suspected a transfer case issue, recommending that the vehicle be taken to an authorized dealership for further evaluation. After this referral, the Jeep dealership was able to reproduce the problem during a test drive and confirmed hesitation on acceleration, transmission shift issues, and PTU malfunction. The dealership documented that the transmission and PTU require replacement. The vehicle had previously received the manufacturer’s required powertrain recall software update. The dealership stated they could attempt another software relearn or update, but no guarantee it would resolve the issue. No warning lights or dashboard messages prior to or during these events. MOPAR says that the PTU is on national backorder with no ETA. The cost of repair exceeds the value of the vehicle and would be entirely out-of-pocket since the warranty is up, making repair financially impossible. As a result, the owner is left with an unsafe vehicle that cannot be reasonably repaired.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The vehicle was serviced under Manufacturer Recall Number: U90 (Catalyst Efficiency Recall). However, recently, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the rear of the vehicle while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with transmission valve failure. The dealer refused to repair the vehicle and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance with the software update. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

I have reported this before and I am reporting once again as it is a very serious safety hazard. Vehicle: 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Component/System: Power Train – Transfer Case / Drivetrain (4WD/AWD System) I am submitting this complaint to report a recurring and potentially hazardous malfunction involving the transfer case on my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited. The vehicle exhibits multiple symptoms consistent with transfer case failure, including intermittent grinding and clunking noises from the drivetrain, jerking and binding during acceleration or low-speed turns, and difficulty engaging or maintaining 4WD/AWD modes. The vehicle has also displayed dashboard warnings such as “Service 4WD” and “4WD Temporarily Unavailable.” At times, vibration can be felt through the floorboard at highway speeds, and the vehicle has intermittently lost power to either the front or rear wheels. These issues pose a significant safety concern. The inconsistent torque delivery causes unpredictable handling, including sudden hesitation, surging, or traction loss during normal driving. The vehicle has also exhibited momentary drivetrain binding that feels similar to braking or wheel lockup, creating a risk of loss of control—particularly when turning, merging, or driving in adverse weather. There is concern that the transfer case could suffer sudden internal failure, potentially resulting in immediate power loss, immobilization, or inability to maneuver out of traffic. Given the frequency of transfer case and power transfer unit failures reported by other Jeep Cherokee owners of this model year, I believe this issue may represent a broader safety defect. The malfunction directly affects vehicle stability, traction control function, and the ability to safely accelerate or maintain speed. I request that NHTSA investigate this matter for a safety recall as soon as possible due to the potential for loss of vehicle control and the risk of a crash or injury.

Transmission is very jerky and have had this problem since i had it with 111,000 miles. I went to a mechanic and was told it was ptu. Was also checking online and not sure why it isn’t covered but i’ve seen everyone has this problem on this jeep. Really to expensive for me to fix.

Follow up of complaint tracking # 11665800 and 11667793. My Cherokee 2014 has DTC U0402 since 2018. Jeep does not want to do a recall for change of transmission for my car. Jeep wants to charge me $11000 for this repair, despite DTC was evident when the car was under warranty, and Jeep told me not to worry about it. Delaware Motor vehicle has given me a tag that will expire on 07/24/25, and DMV does not want to give me more extensions, DMV has told me clearly that IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR, AND IT NEEDS REPAIR. If NHTSA is not able to get a recall for my car before 07/19/25, I will have to sell my car for a very low price to Jeep, despite that my car is in very good condition and 27,509 miles. Jeep has not been honest with me since 2018 about DTC U0402, Jeep told me not to worry about it because the "code was stored but inactive". Jeep got advantage of my ignorance in this issue.

This is an addendum to complain number 11665800 I would like NHTSA do a recall for the transmission of my Jeep Cherokee 2014. I read an Article by Clifford Atiyeh, published on 07/08/2019 titled: Jeep recalls 2014 Cherokee again as ZF Nine-Speed Transmission Problems continue. I did not get this recall. 1-I bought the car new on 05/2014 2-Meggee Service Advisor Thomas Heck (phone 302-856-0064, Georgetown, Delaware) knew that my car was showing engine light on and code U0402, receipt dated 09/04/2018. At this time my car was under warranty, and technician did not do anything about it, despite DTC was there after performing recall U63. The Jeep technician told me not to worry about it. 3-Receipt dated 08/23/2019, , got recall V69. DTC U0402 was there. 4-Receipt dated 09/30/2022, my car got replacement of primary fuel pump. Car showed DTC U0402 again, and technician wrote "unrelated code", and told me not to worry. 5-Receipt dated 05/30/2025, I took my car to Jeep technician, because my car failed DMV inspection for DTC U4402 (Jeep code U0402). This time Jeep Service Technician said that because of this code U0402, the car needed a change of transmission, and it cost $11000. Receipt dated 06/06/2025, I took my car to DMV Pre-certified Technician, and he also told me the car needed a change of transmission, cost $11,232 6-I complained to Megee because Jeep technician knew about this problem with code U0402 since 2018, when the car was under warranty, and they told me not to worry about it, and now Jeep has the responsibility of changing the transmission for free. 7-I contacted Jeep Customer Care (877-426-5337) complaint #[XXX]. Representative told me that the problem had to be resolved directly with Megee Motor (Georgetown, Delaware), because it was its problem. 8-Megee Supervisor Tom Hecks told us that he needed authorization from Jeep Customer Care to change the transmission of the Cherokee. At the end, Jeep customer care and Megee are playing ping-pong with me INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When I made an appointment at an authorized dealer and took it in they said I must wait for parts. They put me on a waiting list. During the waiting period my car started to get a check engine light and over heating warnings which the recall clearly states it’s been recalled from over heating. I contacted the dealer who said they didn’t have a loaner for me and they will contact me when the parts come in. All of a sudden the check engine light went off and the car was ok. Finally the parts came on and we took it right away to be serviced. A week after picking it up it started doing the same thing. I had emails going back and forth with service who claims it wasn’t due to the recall. During this I had a salesman call me to ask me to trade it in and when I said no he said, “Good luck with service.” Sarcastically. Finally they told me that they were emailing Jeep awaiting a response. But before this when they thought I would trade it in they were extremely happy. When I decided not to everything changed. My husband who didn’t trust them asked me to have it towed out of the dealer so I did. The car was drivable and no warning lights. Then a day later it starts giving warnings again. The car is now sitting in my garage. If you start it up and drive it the check engine light is on and the thermometer shows the temp going all the way up. I have re-opened my case that Jeep closed on me thinking the car was fixed. It has not been. The car still shows warning engine lights and overheating. It has not been fixed and the recall still stands unrepaired.

While driving the vehicle will shift into neutral while saying it’s in drive. Then alert driver via display center on dashboard to “shift to P then desired gear”. The engine will completely shut off. Put into park, crank the engine, shift into drive then it will drive again.

My oil filter housing is bad on my Jeep. They were built with plastic which everyone knows doesn't last long and now changed to aluminum because they realized it was a problem for many owners. The issue you spend lots of money until can get to a shop and then a lot more money for repair. Leaking oil and coolant everywhere until you find out the issue plus the risk of fire if overheats extremely. My complaint proves they finally realized that plastic was no good but owner stuck with bill of replacement and shop fees. I have shopped around several part stores for the part and I am shocked at the number of people who have replaced this part. Just wondering why no recall issued especially with them changing the material of the part.

Jul 23, 2025

I believe this is an issue with the parking brake module. The vehicle tries to shutdown or stalls while driving (in my case at 60 MPH on highway). It literally loses power and I get the disabled parking brake warning on dashboard. Losing driving power and stalling while moving at that speed has been very dangerous and life threatening. When I start the vehicle it acts as if the parking brake is engaged even though it is not.

Just got gas, stopped at the gym, started jeep, drove out of parking lot then the jeep randomly went into neutral and dash said vehicle needed to be put in park to shift gears, I put it in park, then into drive and didn't shift into gear, put it in park, turned off the jeep, then didn't want to start, after 3rd try it started and shifted into gear. Drove it for about 2 miles, parked at a store, let it set for 20 mins, first try didn't want to start, second try it did. Been driving fine for the past couple days. Having a vehicle randomly shift into neutral while driving is a major safety issue.

While driving, the transmission goes into neutral. This happens at any speed. It won't go into gear at all. The local Jeep dealer said they could replace my transmission that I pay for. There was an initial lawsuit on these. But, any owner after the first one doesn't get help. I am disabled and on a limited income. I am stuck at home because I never know when the vehicle will go into neutral. I don't know what to do. This has happened every time I drive it. I have had to risk it to drive to the doctor and to get my prescriptions. If I can get it off of the road, I cut it off. It usually goes back into gear. But, when it goes into neutral, my complex PTSD and my anxiety disorder goes into overdrive. I feel absolutely hopeless about this. I would appreciate any help I can receive.

While ATTEMPTING to fill up with gas the fuel nozzle kicks off REPEATEDLY, as if the tank is full! This has been occurring for the past year or so.

Jan 17, 2025

When is someone going to hold Chrysler liable for all of its fuel tank problem instead of passing the problem onto the consumers! The fuel tank 68217191AD im my 2014 Jeep Cherokee has been changed five times. I don't know about you but that tells me they have had problems with this tank from the very beginning. The new 68217191AF costs around 800 dollars to replace and they won't guarantee it not to do the same thing. They also have tank problems in other vehicles they make. If you don't hold them liable for their mistakes they will they will say sorry we know it's a problem but since it's not a recall you have to pay. Also had gas come flying out of tank getting on face arm and leg.

Dec 12, 2024

Tank is stuck at 1/4 full, some kind of issue withe the fuel tank. Can will run out of gas if miles are not monitored. The Gas Tank Aux Pump or design of the tank (Hump over drive shaft) is creating an issue.

Dec 31, 2023

Car wont accept gas, the gas tank becomes vapor locked, particular in cold weather. When you try to fill it you have to keep the gas at a triggle or the system will over flow. Takes like 5 minutes to fill up a tank easy in the winter if your luck.

SERVICE BRAKES

70 complaints

Electronic parking brake engages at random. Gauge info shows “P” with a circle warning, as well as “brake” in red. Says “4wd system unavailable”. Parking brake module has water/corrosion at connection terminal. Parking brake switch by gear shifter flashing constantly. Car will drive fine then will not move when attempting to go later, had to leave on side of road until it could be towed recently. Extremely frustrating and upsetting. This needs recalled as dealership says it costs $1000’s and requires reprogramming. Now left with a Jeep I can not drive and can not afford to fix.

Sep 17, 2025

Electronic parking brake module failed and locked up the brakes while in motion in the parking lot, inspected the rear hatch and it is soaked. The epb module was soaked and corroded along with whatever modules are in there.

Apr 13, 2025

My service park brake lights came on, and I had issues where my parking brake tried to engage when I was driving a couple of times. Then when I tried to drive it to a mechanic it completely locked up and I couldn’t drive it. It turns out that my spare tire well was flooded due to a known leak issue, which there is an open recall for that/a power lift module. But due to this leak, the blood water in my tire well ran down onto my parking, brake, computer, module and connector, which made it corroded and shorted it out. My mechanic advised me to take it to the dealership and talk to Chrysler to get it fixed since the lake is a known issue and this is consequential damage due to this issue, but they said since my car is out of warranty there’s nothing they could do for me but have me pay for it out of pocket. Concerning considering this is a major safety issue.

Mar 28, 2025

Parking brake turned on by itself and would not disengage. I finally got it to work again and then while driving it did it. Prior to this I was getting a warning about my rear lift gate. I have tried everything to fix it and it does not seem to respond. I have researched this and it seems to be a big problem. Please have Jeep issue a recall.

Jan 23, 2025

3 times now my car has engaged it's own parking brake and I haven't been able to disengage it. The first and last time it engaged itself in a parking lot after I started my car. The first time I had it towed and the issue had resolved itself before the dealer had a chance to look and since they could not duplicate the issue they let it go. The second time I had it towed to my local mechanic who had to physically disconnect it and reconnect it to get it to disengage. The second time it happened while I was stopped at a stop sign. This third time it engaged at my sons parking school after I started the car. I had it towed to my local mechanic, he disconnected and reconnected and it keeps instantly re-engaging. This is an on-going issue and clearly if it engages itself while running (happened once) is a major safety concern.

Vehicle would shut completely off when stopped at a red light. Shifter would not move. I was put a risk on a busy street, stuck at a red light and could not move to a safer location. The second time there were three children in the car when the car shuts off at a red light. The problem has been confirmed by dealer and has been inspected. Check engine light was on, however nothing was showed for about the shifter. Dealer mentioned PRNDL and harness. I see that there were previous recalls with the Jeep Cherokee but the car is still showing symptoms of them. It’s is not safe for me to drive and I have been without a car for almost 3 months.

Car bought new on 2014. On 2018 car started to show engine light to illuminate on and off. Jeep technician comply with recalls, and did not change transmission despite DTC U0402 was there all the time, and car was under warranty. Now, Delaware Motor Vehicle does not want to renew my tag because DTC U0402 is related to increase of emissions. Cost of changing transmission is $11,000. Jeep office does not want to authorize the change of transmission despite the problem started when the car was 4 years old. Not fair at all. I am worry to have accidents because of this DTC.

This is a flat tow vehicle that creates a death wobble when being towed behind RV, jeep paid for first fix and has worked for 3 yrs. now death wobble is back.

May 03, 2022

On several occasions returning from Montana to Missouri, while flat towing our Cherokee behind our Motorhome, when driving on uneven pavement (typically when entering construction zones) the Jeep goes into a terrible wobble which can only be haulted by completely stopping. On one occasion there was no shoulder to pull off and with only one remaining lane of traffic, we stopped all traffic behind us to remedy the situation. Only by the grace of God where we not involved in a collision OR the cause of one. I have just learned in researching this site, that this has been a known and ongoing problem. Jeep needs to be forced to at minimum send warnings to all owners where this potential problem exists.

NOTE, THE CHEROKEE BARELY HAS 37K MILES ON IT! IN FEAR OF LOOSING POWER STEERING AGAIN WE SERVICED THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS 100% OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AS CHRYSLER FIAT AS WELL AS THE JEEP DEALERSHIP DECLINED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. FEBRUARY 26,2020, JUST 4 DAYS AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE "FIXED" WE LOST POWER STEERING. IT WAS OUR WORST NIGHTMARE ALL OF AGAIN. WE CALLED JEEP, AND WITH LACK OF CONCERN, THEY ADVISED US TO TAKE IT BACK TO SERVICE AS IT COULD NOW BE A DEFECTIVE PART INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. FEBRUARY 28, 2020, IS OUR SECOND SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH JEEP, HOWEVER WE ARE AFRAID THIS IS A DEEPER ISSUE THAN MEETS THE EYE. WE NO LONGER FEEL SAFE AND FEAR FOR CATASTROPHIC INJURY FOR US AND OTHERS. WE FEAR FOR OTHERS THAT MIGHT POTENTIALLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHEROKEES. FOR ANYONE THAT IS READING THIS, HAVE YOUR CAR LOOKED AT, YOU MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AS WE WERE. GOD FORBID WE WERE ON A SWITCHBACK ROAD AND LOST POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHARP TURN. WE WOULD HAVE GONE OFF THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN. JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY INURED.

Vehicle randomly imitates being in neutral when it is actually in drive mode. It has lost power on long hill climbs wthout any downshifting as would be necessary. Vehicle will occasionally accelerate on its own without notice. This has happened both on the open road and setting at red lights. These are sometimes able to reset with the turning off and back on of the motor. These symptoms started very randomly, but have increased in events over time.

NHTSA Recall # 19V-447 I do believe it has to do with this recall that states the clutch is getting stuck in the transmission it does say that the recall has been completed but it is obviously doing it again

Apr 05, 2025

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving and attempting to accelerate, there was an abnormal pop and a clunking sound detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the bolts on the power transfer unit had been stripped. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure was related to Manufacturer Communication Number: 21-014-23 (Power Train). The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

Jeep put out a recall for the transmission and the recall was supposedly done the recall states that it would correct the issue of the car putting itself into neutral at any speed and making the driver return to park before he could re-enter a gear and redistribute power to the wheels. The recall should make the car go into a limp mode with limited power yet still producing power so it can exit from the roadway it's not doing that and this doesn't matter if it's 70 miles an hour when this happens it cuts the power to the wheels and your only option is to try to get out of traffic put the car in park and put it back in the gear. the recall by jeep was S 55 says it's been done but this car again is putting itself in the neutral it's been to three different Jeep dealers and finally I took it to an independent mechanic that finally figured out that this was probably the issue Jeep doesn't care I was almost hit by an 18-wheeler going through the mountains 2 weeks ago when the car took itself out of of gear and put itself into neutral as I was doing a pretty nasty switch from downhill to uphill in the Rocky Mountains with a semi coming down right behind me. I lost power on the uphill side on a three-lane highway on the innermost Lane with nowhere to go. I had no power I could not get back across traffic to get off the highway I ended up stopping traffic just put the car back in the park to restart hi feel like this is an incredible safety hazard and it clearly if they did the recall it has failed and it is doing exactly what the recall was to fix again thank you for your time and help

I was on my way home from Alpharetta from a business meeting and my car started to shake really bad on the front. I thought it might have been something my tire caught. But I just put 4 brand new tires and not one light was on on my dash board there have never been any lights come on my dash board since I've had the vehicle. I drove about 10 more mins and it got worse so I pulled over and parked. I couldn't see anything. I was an hour away from home. The next day after getting my vehicle home. I was told that the ignition coil was catching fire as i was driving it. I also have the video in my phone. The car was literally trying to catch on fire and I was told if I would have kept driving it and not pulled over my car would have went up in flames more than likely. I keep all the maintenance done on it and change the tires and if stuff needs fixing i fix it. But I have never had a car start to catch fire as I'm driving it. I have video proof that's what it was doing while the car was running and noone messed with it . This car year make and model shouldn't even be on the market. I already had a recall for the pcm/tcm and that didn't fix anything on the vehicle from that recall. But this problem that happened with me definitely needs to be recalled bc I wasn't near home and was by myself and I could have been hurt if my vehicle would have went up in flames.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at various speeds, the vehicle was sputtering and then stalled. The "Shift to Park" message was displayed. The battery warning light was illuminated. The failure recurred after refueling. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was later diagnosed and determined that the catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, vapor canister, spark plugs, charcoal canister, and filter. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,366.

Jun 06, 2023

the Vehicle has a lot of issues primarily involving the Transmission. The transmission does not shift correctly. The automatic shifting is very erratic. Shift very low sometimes at 2000RPM, and then other times a very high at over 5500RPM. During acceleration, it makes a grinding noise and a very rough shift which can pretty much push you forward from your seat. I took the Vehicle to be serviced several times while still under warranty to the Manhattan Jeep Service Center and every single time they said the computer needed to be updated, and after a few miles, it would go back to doing the same thing, rough shifting.

Jan 25, 2023

When driving the vehicle it shakes tremendously and a message comes on that say shift gear to park when we are in drive we shift to park and the vehicle shuts down we could be driving at a speed at 45 and this just happens. This issue happen three times before the vehicle was able to completely start up to get us home. We took the vehicle to the dealership when under warranty they refuse to check it because no indicator light was on.

Water intrusion into electronic parking brake module caused a failure which caused the parking brake to set which would not allow the vehicle to move and parking brake could not be released. This vehicle has already been to the dealer for a safety recall for the power lift gate module located in the SAME area as the parking brake module and for the same reason water intrusion which could cause potential fires. Dealer would not warranty the parking brake module as if this is the same problem as the power lift gate module located right next to each other. There are numerous threads on the internet from other Cherokee owners with the same issue.

Mar 23, 2025

Parking brake engaged while reversing out of driveway. "Service Parking Brake" message on dash and Parking brake lights on dash. Parking brake flashing amber LED lights. Parking brake not working. This is for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee, an investigation was opened and closed. Unsure of the outcome. Concerned though as I had a water leakage into the lift gate power module causing a small fire. That was repaired/replaced with recall in 2024. Now the same issue is happening with my power breaks. I feel like this should be covered under recall.

Feb 25, 2025

There is a water intrusion on the vehicle that causes water to find its way to the electronic parking/emergency brake Module and causing it to corrode. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they have confirmed this. The safety of myself or other motorists on the road may be at risk if the vehicle gets a reading from the corroded module and sets the parking brake while the vehicle is in motion. I had a service parking brake light appear but the code reads as the parking brake switch needs to be replaced replaced the switch at the front and that did not remedy the issue.

Jan 23, 2025

Vehicle parking brake automatically engages when vehicle placed in park and will not disengage. Brake lights are displayed as well as service parking brake message. Cruise control is also affected. Took vehicle to dealer and was told it was the brake switch. Ordered new brake switch and installed with no change. After reading service bulletin NUMBER: 08-060-16 titled “Electronic Parking Brake Module Connector Water Intrusion” I inspected the EPB module and found it to be corroded and partially full of water. Vehicle is not under warranty and this appears to be a very common and expensive problem that owners should not be responsible for. There is also potential of fire and of emergency brake engaging while driving that makes it extremely dangerous.

Aug 10, 2024

The emergency control module and wire harness got corroded from water. The brakes engaged and had to be towed to the dealership. Was informed at that time about the parts being corroded and needed to be replaced.

The ptu has failed in my vehicle. When I bought the vehicle there was a 4x4 light on the dash but I was told that it needed to be just turned off by a jeep dealership. But I believe it actually was a symtom of the failing ptu. My vehicle sometimes goes into neutral when I try to pull off from a stop sign and then the vehicle kicks itself back into drive. My coolant and transmission temp rises the more I drive it and transmission seems to shift late or hard and sometimes prematurely sometimes it smells like burning electrical.

Service 4WD light is constantly on while driving. The Jeep is at over 112,000 miles. My mechanic did a diagnostic check and the code that was provided was C14A7-97 PTU Motor-Component or System Operation Obstructed or Blocked. I checked with the Jeep dealership for a possible recall and gave my VIN number. There are no current recalls. For 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokees where the PTU has not been previously replaced, the auto maker’s recall number is W47 and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)’s recall campaign number is 20V343. At the current moment I’m scared to drive this car. I drive my elderly mother and kids in this car. If these problems are due to a recall I need my car fixed by Jeep. They are the only ones that know how to handle this situation.

The transmission SWC 4WD light is on. When brought to Jeep they are saying the part PTO unit is on back order and they will not assist me to fix the car. I have researched and the 2014 3.2 liter engine with 4wheel drive has faulty PTO unit and approximately 100,000 have experienced this problem. I am 75 with a low mileage car and need help.

My vehicle will shift roughly, sometimes surging before switching gears. This is more pronounced after refueling. Additionally, sometimes immediately after refueling, the vehicle will sputter and die when trying to pull away from the pump. Attempting to turn it back on may take a few tries before its successful. The battery light may come on, but the battery has been confirmed as not the issue. Having my vehicle shut down mid drive after fueling to where I can't steer it or move it out of the way is extremely unsafe! I just took it to the dealership. They completed a recall involving a powertrain software update, but did have any explanation for why my car would randomly die after getting gas.

I purchased this 2014 Jeep Cherokee from Taverna Collection in Feb 2025 and received it in March 2025. The selling dealer was required to inspect the vehicle before delivery and did not report any transmission or valve-body issues. On June 25, 2025, the vehicle received a multipoint inspection at Auto Angel in Santa Fe. No transmission failure, shifting issues, or valve-body concerns were found. The Jeep was not showing symptoms related to Recall U90 at that time. After this, I attempted to have Recall U90 (PCM/TCM reprogramming) performed. Lithia Chrysler in Santa Fe confirmed the recall by email and scheduled an appointment, but after towing the vehicle to them they refused to perform the recall and repeatedly stated “there is no recall,” forcing me to tow the vehicle home and then again two days later to a dealership in Albuquerque. At the Albuquerque dealership, I gave clear instructions not to perform any paid repairs—including a transmission valve-body replacement—until the U90 reflash was completed and confirmed. I never received confirmation. The dealership later claimed they followed protocol but refused to release the WiTECH session report or timestamps showing when the recall work occurred. They told me I could only see documentation after paying $2,600. I contacted FCA/Stellantis. The case manager said her supervisor stated the dealer “followed protocol,” but FCA admitted this was based solely on the dealership’s word. FCA could not confirm whether they reviewed the WiTECH diagnostic session or any recall repair records. Under 49 U.S.C. §30120(i) and 49 CFR Part 576, manufacturers and dealers must retain detailed recall records, including diagnostic data and timestamps, to verify proper recall completion. FCA’s inability or refusal to verify the recall using these required records raises concerns that Recall U90 may not have been performed correctly or in the proper sequence. I request NHTSA review this matter.

Car stopped without warning in middle of road. Would not start. NO Warning lights on dash. Answer: Low oil level, car just turned engine off. NO dash warning for low oil. Happened multiple times. Now: After filling with gas, stopped at light, warning messages "Put Car in park" then drive. When put in Drive, rough and huge thunk. Almost got hit, but was able to pulled over. Called AAA., waited 45, and he drove it up onto bed to bring to mechanic. No problem. They did an oil change. Drove for days then very rough idle and driving. Each time, I was able to pull over w/o being hit. Now sometimes running sluggish going down road and almost hit again. This car is not even 10 years old, but I've lost count how many close calls my family has had. If you go on any of the Jeep forums, many, many owners are complaining abouts these same issues. Why does the maker of Jeeps fix all these issues on the forums BEFORE they build or design new ones?! I have owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee(electrical), Jeep Commander(rust from bottom up), Jeep Compass, now the Jeep Cherokee (by far the WORST one). Was a Jeep fan, but I have never run into so many weird issues. Even my mechanic has given up and said bring to dealership. He has 5 different Jeeps all with electrical/unknown issues.

Leaving to go get Wife's computer today my Jeep ran terrible, kept trying to stall I just filled up at Costco to top off the tank yesterday. In the next subdivision after passing through the back gate the transmission "D" light started blinking. Pressing the gas pedal at 15 miles an hour did nothing. No forward acceleration nor any acceleration at all. Just coasted to pull over where I could safely as the Jeep coasted powerless. Pressing the gas peddle barely raised RPMs like a throttle car would have done. I had to stop the Jeep put it in park and then put it back in "D" drive and it at least my jeep moved forward when pressing the gas peddle. As I continued to drive out through the subdivision towards a main street, the transmission kept clunking and thumping. Felt like the transmission was loose and dangling under the Jeep, but it is still securely bolted to the Jeep. I decided to go back get Wife's car and drop the stupid Jeep off at the dealer again to find out what's wrong with it. At least if it broke down on the side of the road I could run our errands. This constant problem is a major safety concern. If this happens on the interstate it can easily cause a major crash. The dealer can't figure out what is wrong, or so they claim. This happens every couple of months. I don't trust Jeep to keep me safe while driving. This needs to be investigated so owners know the truth.

It started when I was trying to leave a Walmart parking lot back in October of 2022. I put my Jeep in reverse and it wouldn't backup. There was no car in front of me so I tried to drive forward and I couldn't. After several attempts I finally called AAA and had my car towed to my house till I could find a local mechanic to look at it. I then had it towed again to CS Auto Services in Leominster, MA and he ultimately had to disconnect the emergency brake because he determined the parking brake module was corroded and the only way for me to be able to drive it was to disconnect the emergency brake until one could be ordered and installed by a Jeep dealer. I thought he was ordering the module but I was supposed to so a few months later on Dec 27th I was driving home from Boston and the ABS lights and the pic with the car swerving came on and flashed all the way home. I was terrified driving home but after called a few people we determined since the ABS was used in bad weather I was probably safe, so I drove it home and had it towed to another mechanic the next day. The found 3 pages of codes that ultimately were a result of the corroded module and he said there was nothing they could do so I called the Jeep dealer down the road and got it in. They looked at it and ordered the module and connector. It has taken the better part of a month for the parts to come in but I have an appt Fri., 2/3/23 and was given an est. of $1700.00. I have already spent $500.00 trying to determine the cause of all these problems and I have driving around the last 4 months without an emergency brake. Both mechanics said they have seen this in Jeeps all the time and don't know why Jeep hasn't done a recall on this since it literally locks your gears up so you can't drive. I guess I was a lucky one because I wasn't driving at the time that it happened but it still happened. The contact has paid out-of-pocket for replacements as well as multiple diagnostic tests despite the dealer not being able to repair the issue.

Error codes U1120, U1110, and U0121 all appeared at the same time. Car became undriveable while driving on the highway. Had to pull over with lost power and stop on the side of the highway. Tried to get the car started again and upon reignition the car cycled between air bag and transmission warnings. The car could not drive without reaching 7000+ RPMS at 5 mph. Ended up deserting the vehicle and had it towed to the nearest Jeep dealer. This is the 4th time the vehicle has broken down on the highway.

My vehicle drives about 30 miles before an alert will appear saying to service transmission. Along with the check engine light coming on.

AIR BAGS

21 complaints

Started the vehicle and before we could put it in gear, the airbags in the back seat deployed. I contacted Jeep Customer Service and was given case # 93132151 and they had it towed to the nearest dealership for diagnosis. Then Jeep refused to pay the diagnostic fee and the dealership won’t do the diagnosis. Our fear is that the vehicle is unsafe to drive as the front airbags could now go off.

SUSPENSION

Hello my front passenger suspension bolts sheared due to over torque condition. My mechanic said he believes there was something related to this, but it is a serious safety issue. I checked the Stellantis bc and NHTSA Recall site and found nothing. My front drive train is bent and I can’t imagine the risk it out my wife and daughters. Could have snapped on the highway and killed them, and potentially others, in an accident.

November 20 I took my car to Seattle jeep to comply with a NHTSA recall (U90).Few days latter when they finish the repair they created a new problem with the transmission.Now I have a rough or abrupt transmission shifting like being rear ended.The dealer told me: the manufacturer need to fix it because of some flaws in the software calibration or it’s internal components. Seattle jeep it won’t take responsibility for

Dec 08, 2025

Approximately 2'years.ago I was on my way home from work around 10:30 pm. I was in moderate to heavy traffic and the jeep threw a code saying service transmission. I wasn't able to accelerate. I had to navigate carefully through traffic with my hazards on to get to a safe place to stop. I was finally able to and turned off my car. I let it sit for a few minutes then I try to restart it again. The check engine light was still on it still said service transmission. I tried to put the vehicle in reverse, and it jumped so hard I thought that I had hit something. I turn it back off again and left it off for approximately 20 minutes. I finally tried to restart it and it started fine put it in reverse and it was able to go in reverse and I was able to limp it home. Thank goodness a traffic wasn't too bad I was able to pull over. I took my car to I trusted mechanic and they look through everything and they could not figure out why it was doing that. Not long after I got a postcard in the mail stating that the TCM need to be replaced. I called the number that was on the card and they stated that that particular part was on back order and they would call me. I gave them my information. They never called me back. I tried to go to work again a few days later and the same exact thing. But this time I have video of it. So I took it to my local Suncoast Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram not the place I bought it from but within the same hub. I showed them the video the gentleman there said that he was going to bring it back and the mechanics will work on it. A couple hundred dollars later they stated that they had fixed it and it shouldn't happen again. But it did it happened quite a few times, and it tends to happen when the temperature here in Florida is a little bit chilly. They actually put a sticker on the hood that said that they had fixed it but they have not. I tried to call and get refunded for the TCM but they said I was not able to. I still have the same issue.

Jul 19, 2025

I bought this new and when I had 99k miles, the transmission went out. I received a notice that this transmission had a class action lawsuit against Chrysler. I took it to Southpoint Dodge in Austin Texas. Where I purchased it. They argued with me for weeks but finally agreed to replace the transmission. The new transmission only has 27k miles and is having the same transmission problem again.

Jan 22, 2025

there is currently a recall, U90, on my jeep. this recall causes high emissions. my vehicle will not pass department of motor vehicles with high emissions. there is a back order for the part that will fix the recall. the recall has also caused codes to come on, which can lead to other malfunctions. if malfunctions due to this recall while i am driving it can be harmful to myself and others.

Vehicle stalls/doesn’t start when gas tank is full. This has happened while driving.

Jul 24, 2023

For the last 12-months I have been dealing with the vehicle stalling after filling it up. It first started a year ago and was sporadic but for the last 6-months it has been happening every time I fill up. This is a very dangerous situation to be driving down the road to have the vehicle suddenly stall out. The last time this happened was on Saturday, 2/11/23 and I spent the day fighting a stalling vehicle. Since 2020 the check engine light sporadically comes on. Supposedly there is a small evap leak. After looking into this earlier today I discovered this is a well known issue with all Jeep vehicles. Seeing how this seems to be a manufacturer issue the consumer should not have to keep paying out to fix what was not done right to begin with. Please look into both of these concerns.

Feb 14, 2023

Similar to NTSB 11504810, when I fill up with gas, my jeep stalls out and dies. I don't lose accessories or anything, I lose engine power. My battery like comes on and my dash says "battery voltage low" "put car into park and then desired gear" it takes a few tries to get it started again and it will buck like it wants to stall out or it dies again completely while I'm driving. Also there are times it is rough changing gears (jerky).

Feb 03, 2023

Recently, after evertime I fill up with gas, my jeep stalls out and dies. I don't lose accessories or anything, I lose engine power. My battery like comes on and my dash says "battery voltage low" "put car into park and then desired gear" it takes a few tries to get it started again and it will buck like it wants to stall out or it dies again completely while I'm driving!

Jan 31, 2023

After filling up the gas tank the engine stalls at stop light. I must quickly place car in park and restart the engine. This happens multiple times as I drive home. Then as I start driving again the engine seems to be hesitant and feels like it is "bucking" me. After the first time this happened it seemed to go away after fuel level in tank went down. When I filled the tank again the problem reappeared. This has happened twice to me. This is really a life threatening hazard.

POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

16 complaints

We purchased this vehicle in 6/2020. Last year had to replace the fuel system because of the vehicle randomly stalling after filling up the tank. This happened randomly so it could have caused a life threatening situation. The cause of this stalling is fuel getting into the EVAP system, and requires replacing the fuel pump and evaporative charcoal canister to rectify. No recall on this even though numerous complaints, it costed us $1700. We now have been having issues of the vehicle hesitating when pulling into traffic and issues with the automatic gear shifting randomly since about 70,000 miles on the car. Recently it got so bad the vehicle would slow down while pressing on the accelerator. We took it into the dealership and they were able to uncover a transmission issue even though there were no warning lights or system warnings. If we didn’t take it in it could have caused a serious injury and accident. There are recalls on more expensive and newer models of this same model 9 speed transmissions but all Chrysler is doing for this model is doing a cheap software update that has NOTHING to do with the issue many cars are having. The below article explains the issues that Chrysler is not helping customers out at all, just putting peoples life’s in jeopardy to avoid paying for the transmission recall on all 2014 Jeep Cherokee vehicles even though it is a MAJOR safety risk. https://www.vehiclehistory.com/articles/2014-jeep-cherokees-problems-and-recalls-cover-powertrain-failures-cruise-control-malfunctions-and-faulty-airbags I am attaching their response which basically says sorry, Chrysler doesn’t care if the vehicle is unsafe and we don’t care how much money it is costing our customers to make it safe because Chrysler is making money off those repairs.

3/1/2021: Rough idle and overheating after filling up gas tank that morning upon arriving at work. Jeep had problems when leaving work at roughly 1630. Idles poorly, very rough and dipped from 900 rpm down to 200 rpm while almost stalling. I decided to drive home and thought it may be a little water in the gas from filling up that morning on MacDill. Ran rough on the way out of MacDill. At the home depot traffic light, the transmission would not engage and I had to switch to park and back into drive. Once onto Gandy Blvd the temperature started to overheat. I turned on the heater to act as a second radiator and decided to shoot for Jeep dealer in St. Pete. I made it there and caught a ride home with Wife's sister. Dealer drove Jeep on Tuesday a total of 23 miles without any temperature above 202. Told that lot boy and service supervisor drove it. No charge since St. Pete Jeep couldn't find any faults. I had Wife take me to pick it up. On ride home got up to 207. No rough idle. ***Rough idle and stalling while driving in traffic continued. Noticed this always occurred after filling gas tank up to full*** Jun 29, 2021: Got gas again at MacDill Monday morning upon arrival at work. Monday afternoon car ran terrible. Remote start stalled before I got to Jeep. Started up again when I got to car and engine ran rough. Nearly stalled several times. Engine almost stalled at final left turn while heading to gate. Transmission indicator flashed again and transmission failed to work. Display showed to place in park to select drive. Had to coast up onto median to keep from blocking traffic when engine started to stall again when light turned green and I proceeded through light. Occasionally Ran rough all the way home for the 43 miles and 1 hour drive. This time there was no significant overheating. Just went up to low 200s. Decided to submit a NHTSA complaint since dealership said they wouldn't be able to find anything wrong if no check engine light came on. Dangerous

Jul 15, 2021

Had just filled gas tank (1st time since we purchased the vehicle on 6/9/21). Stopped at traffic light. Engine quit and dashboard message advised to put car in park and push start button. Car started but quit almost immediately. While in park tried to rev engine, but got minimal response. When traffic light changed, proceeded forward. "Transmission Service Needed" message appeared, and D (Drive) on gearshift and on dashboard started blinking. Check Engine light was, (and remains) on. Car quit 3rd time, same "Transmission Service Needed" message appeared. When I got home, put car in reverse to back into driveway, got aloud clunking sound. Shut off engine and kept it off for 30-40 minutes. Started the car again and took it around the block, but none of the previous issues repeated.

I AM GETTING RANDOM SOFTWARE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SOMETIMES THE CAR POWER FADES WHEN DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADS TO A STOP SO I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR. I NOW AVOID DRIVING ON FREEWAYS BECAUSE OF THIS. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING ON MAIN ROADS I GET A MESSAGE TO SAY THAT I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" TO CHANGE GEAR WHEN I WAS JUST DRIVING IN D AND DID NOT WANT TO CHANGE ANYWAY AS IT WAS IN AUTOMATIC NOT MANUAL. WHICH I DO NOT USE. AFTER THE MESSAGE THE CAR LOSES POWER AND I HAVE TO STOP TO PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" TO RESTART THE CAR TO CONTINUE ON MY JOURNEY, SOMETIMES I HAVE NO ISSUES. I HAVE REPORTED ISSUES PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THE CAR LOSING POWER WHICH WERE CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED AFTER A RECALL FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES. THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY UNSTABLE, UNPREDICTABLE, UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYWHERE. I FEEL UNEASY AS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY AND TODAY BUT I NEED THIS ISSUE ESCALATED. I HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE USE OF A CAR (MY WIFE'S) WHICH I DRIVE TO AVOID THE ABOVE SAFETY CONCERNS AND PROBLEMS.

SHIFT PARK BRAKE THEN SERVICE TRANSMISSION. IT CAME ON WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUES TILL THIS DAY. WHEN I BRING IT IN THEY SAY IT'S A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING. IT'S GETTING WORSE AND WORSE BY THE DAY AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY OWN VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE JEEP BECAUSE I HEARD THEY WERE GOOD LONG TERM VEHICLES. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR FOUR YEARS AND I KNOW I WILL NOT LET MY SON DRIVE IT!

TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND TRACTION CONTROL. LURCHES FORWARD, SHAKES WHEN TAKING OFF, HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF (SOMETIMES 10 SECONDS OR MORE) THEN KICKS INTO GEAR REALLY HARD. TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND HAVE REDUCED POWER, RPMS ARE VERY HIGH BUT THE CAR JUST DOESN'T WANT TO GO. SOMETIMES WILL TELL ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN SHIFT TO DESIRED GEAR. THE TRANS WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. IT LEFT ME STRANDED ALONE ON A MAJOR ROAD LATE AT NIGHT. WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS SPENT OVER A MONTH AT ONE DEALERSHIP. BEEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE TRANS AND THEY DO AN UPDATE AND SAY ITS ALL GOOD. THIS CAR HAS PUT ME IN QUITE A FEW NEAR MISSES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE POWER YOU NEED. THE TIMES I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEMS, IT DIDN'T MATTER IF I WAS TURNING OR DRIVING A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS. THEY PERFORMED A RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX IT BUT I DID NOTHING. ITS ALMOST LIKE IT GOT WORSE.

Jun 20, 2017

THE CAR EXPERIENCES JERKY SHIFTS, IS VERY INCONSISTENT WHEN IT DOES SHIFT, AND HAS A LAG IN ACCELERATION. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE I CAN'T PREPARE FOR WHEN IT WILL SHIFT. IF I AM STOPPING AT A LIGHT, IT OFTEN TIMES WILL LUNGE FORWARD - WHICH IS DANGEROUS IF THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING OR SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME. IF I AM AT A STOP LIGHT, AND ACCELERATING, THE SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD IS EXTREMELY SLOW, AND THEN HAS A HARD LUNGE FORWARD. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLVE FOR IT, AND JEEP WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM. THE VALUE OF THE CAR HAS ALSO DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY SO I CAN'T GET RID OF IT, WITHOUT BEING UPSIDE DOWN ON WHAT I OWE.

Nov 03, 2016

THE JEEP STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE LURCHES/JERKS FORWARD AROUND 8 MILES PER HOUR AND 30 MILES PER HOUR.

THERE IS A WARNING SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER THAT STAYS LIT UP ON MY DISPLAY AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE HAD ALL OF MY RECALLS DONE BUT THIS WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AND IS A NEUSANCE. YOU CAN NOT SEE THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER NOR ANYTHING DIGITAL FOR THAT MATTER. FIRST NOTICED IT A FEW WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. AS SOON AS YOU TURN THE CAR ON THE LIGHT JUST STAYS ON. THE RECALLS SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS BUT IT DID NOT. VERY BEAUTIFUL CAR BUT HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES WITH IT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME ISSUES WHEN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET. NEED THIS FIXED ASAP. COST TOO MUCH MONEY TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL ISSUE A CLASS ACTION SUITE IF NO RESPONSE. ALSO LIFT GATE WON'T LOCK. BUT THAT'S ON ANOTHER CLAIM THAT I ISSUED TO YOU.

Feb 08, 2021

THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT SINCE THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON 8/6/19 (TRACKING #11242090). I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN UPDATE REGARDING THAT ISSUE. I FOLLOWED UP WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. ON 8/7/19, I HAD THE DEALER PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEY FOUND THAT MY SUV REQUIRED A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE TRANSMISSION AND POWERTRAIN. THE SAME RECALL AFFECTING THE 3.2L BUT NOT ISSUED TO MY VIN. ON 9/8/19, MY SUV BEGAN SURGING MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN I WAS IN IDLE AT CITY STOPLIGHTS AND DIED WHEN IN SHIFTED INTO PARK THREE TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR. THE ONLY INDICATION OF AN ISSUE ON MY DASHBOARD WAS THE BATTERY LIGHT THAT CAME ON ONCE THE CAR DIED. THE DASH AND RADIO CONTINUED TO PERFORM FINE BUT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITH THE KEY STILL IN THE IGNITION. I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED ON 8/06/19 ALONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND TERMINALS AND THEY WERE AT 100%. THE BATTERY WAS NEW WHEN PURCHASED 11/2018. I'D LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE IN ORDER TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I CAN PROVIDE FURTHER DOCUMENTATION FROM THE DEALER BAYSIDE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 10535 AUTOMALL PARKWAY, D'IBERVILLE, MS 39540 OR IT CAN BE REQUESTED FROM THEM DIRECTLY.

MY PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE FROM PARK AFTER HAVING JUST STARTED IT AND IT DROVE FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACKWARDS. I HAD TO PUT IT BACK INTO PARK THEN BACK INTO REVERSE BEFORE IT WOULD GO BACKWARDS (NO I WAS NOT ON A HILL I WAS FLAT, THE CAR WAS ACTING AS THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE INSTEAD OF REVERSE). THEN IT PROGRESSED TO I WENT TO CHANGE FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND THE ENGINE JUST REVED WHEN THE GAS WAS PRESSED (ACTING AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL) AND I YET AGAIN HAD TO PUT IT BACK INTO PARK AND TURN IT OFF TO GET IT TO GO INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. THEN IT PROGRESSED TO MY BATTERY NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND MY CAR NOT WANTING TO START UP RIGHT AWAY. AND IT GOT EVEN WORSE TO THE POINT MY CAR NOW SAYS I NEED SERVICE ON THE SHIFTER. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 9 MONTHS AND I DRIVE IT 10 MILES A DAY (TO AND FROM WORK COMBINED) 5 DAYS A WEEK AND HARDLY EVER ANYMORE THAN THAT. I HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT BEFORE THIS WEEK AND NOW ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE POPPING UP AT ONCE

Jul 17, 2019

SINCE WE BOUGHT OUR CAR IT HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AS WELL AS ELECTRICAL, COMPUTER BASED, AND POWER TRAIN ISSUES. NONE OF WHICH WERE EXPLAINABLE. WE WERE SINPLY TOLD TO TAKE IT TO JEEP, PUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN TO FIX IT AND GET IT BACK. WE'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ABUT 4 YEARS. YESTERDAY, WITHIN A MONTH OF THE LAST OCCURENCE, OUR CAR HAS FROZEN ON US AND WILL NOT START. JEEP HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. WE'VE KNOWN SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. WE ARE NOT IN A FINANCIAL POSITION TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO A CAR THAT SHOULD LAST US LONGER, OR TO SINPLY JUST TRADE IT IN SINCE WE STILL OWE 10K ON THE CAR. THIS HAS ALSO PUT OUR KIDS SAFETY AT JEOPARDY, HAS CAUSED US LOSS OF WORK DAYS ON TOP OF PUTTING US IN A MORE FINANCIAL BURDEN. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. IT IS UNFAIR THAT WE SOENT SO MUCH MONEY ON A CAR THAT HAS MALFUNCTIONED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO BEING BUILT SO POORLY.

I STARTED MY CAR EARLY IN THE MORNING TO GO TO WORK AND AFTER A COUPLE OF FEET OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. BATTERY IS SUFFICIENTLY CHARGED. TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, DROVE A COUPLE MORE BLOCKS AND IT DID IT AGAIN, THEN AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY.

BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ON SEVERAL OCASSIONS WITH COMPLAINTS OF VEHICLE JUMPING INTO GEAR. RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BECAUSE VEHICLE WOULDN'T STAY RUNNING AND COULD NOT PUT INTO GEAR. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING OIL. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE OIL COOLER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT IS NOISY AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THAT THE AIR TEMPERATURE AMBIENT SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I GAVE THE GO AHEAD TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLER AND AIR TEMPERATURE AMBIENT SENSOR. TOLD THEM TO HOLD OFF ON REPLACING THE DRIVE SHAFT AS THE REPAIR ALONE FOR THE OIL COOLER AND SENSOR WAS GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY $1,300. I THEN RECEIVED A CALL BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CHANGED THE OIL COOLER AND UPON TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE IT DIDN'T WANT TO START. THEY TOLD ME MULTIPLE CODES WERE COMING UP AND THAT MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT AN ADDITIONAL COST OF OVER $1,000. ESTIMATE FOR ALL REPAIRS TO BE $2,500 PLUS. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS A SPECIAL ORDER AND ONCE ORDERED THEY WOULD HAVE TO HOLD MY VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS UNTIL IT CAME IN AND COULD BE INSTALLED. IT IS COSTING ME $35.00 A DAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE THROUGH THEM. I ESTIMATE TOTAL COST FOR REPAIRS AND RENTAL TO BE ABOUT $3,000. THIS COST DOES NOT INCLUDE THE REPLACING THE DRIVE SHAFT WHICH THEY TELL ME IS NOISY.

WE EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE VERY SEVERE WHILE TOWING BEHIND OUR RV. IT WAS VERY UNSAFE BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I HATE TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO US OR SOMEONE ELSE NOT TO MENTION THE CAR, RV OR TOWING EQUIPMENT. WE ARE TOLD WE NEED A JUMPER WIRING HARNESS THAT COST $400.00. IS THIS COVERED?

Jun 01, 2018

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR CODE B104E AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED OUT NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH IT. THIS CODE HAS BEEN THROWN 4 TIMES IN A YEAR AND EVERY TIME THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND AN ISSUE.

Apr 23, 2018

ON MANY OCCASIONS THE "DEATH WOBBLE", THE FRONT WHEELS OF MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE WOULD BEGIN VIOLENTLY OSCILLATING WHILE I TOWED THE JEEP BEHIND MY MOTORHOME. THIS WOBBLE WOULD OCCUR AT ANY SPEED AND USUALLY IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES OR ON A BIG BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY. JEEP FINALLY PROVIDED A "FIX" FOR THE PROBLEM BY REQUIRING A WIRING HARNESS TO BE INSTALLED. I PAID TO HAVE IT INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS SOLD AS FOUR WHEELS DOWN WITH NO MODIFICATIONS AND THAT HAS STOPPED THE WOBBLE PROBLEM. THE ORIGINAL MANUAL ALSO STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS FLAT TOWABLE. THERE WAS AN ADDENDUM TO THE MANUAL, BUT THAT WAS 2 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND MANY MILES BEHIND MY MOTORHOME.

Bought a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, while driving the vehicle one day it started braking while accelerating causing it to jerk the vehicle and had to pull over causing the car to completely shut off. I took it to a dealership to get two recalls fixed on it that I found out about and after getting the vehicle back from the dealership and driving it there has been poor acceleration, harsh shifting gears. I was getting a lug nut replaced on my tire at a dealership. I was about to leave with my vehicle and it wouldn’t get out of the parking brake. Then the Service parking brake light comes on the far. I have to get them to look at it again and they find water damage to the Parking Brake Module due to a leak from somewhere. Having to wait on estimates on what it will cost to fix it. Looked into this issue and find out that others have dealt with this as well. With water leakage in the back trunk space and into the Parking Brake Module!! Definitely needs to be a recall on this type of major road safety hazard. Luckily I wasn’t driving when this happened or it could’ve caused a wreck. There is a class action lawsuit I was reading about again Jeep for 2014-2020 models due to water damage to parking brake module and I believe there needs to be a recall on this defect from factory.

1st Repair Attempt: On April 2, 2021, 14 days after I purchased the vehicle (Purchase date: 3/18/2021), I received multiple error messages stating "Service Electronic Parking Break" "Service Anti Lock Breaking System" "Service Park Brake" "MIL" light was blinking "CEL" light was on as well and my vehicle would not accelerate. I was on a high traffic interstate and could not move the vehicle to exit to the shoulder. The dealer stated that my PCM/TCM needed to be "flashed" and my ABS Module needed to be replaced due to a CSN W20, W84 and W80 code. The part to replace the ABS Module was not in stock and my vehicle remained with the dealership until April 16, 2021 (a total of 15 days) 2nd Repair Attempt: On May 21, 2021, 35 days after the repair attempt, for the 2nd time I received multiple error messages stating "Service Electronic Parking Break" "Service Anti Lock Breaking System" "Service Park Brake" "MIL" light was blinking "CEL" light was on as well and my vehicle would not accelerate. My children were in the car when this happened. The dealer once again, for the 2nd time, had to order an ABS Module as well as reprogrammed according to all manufacturer recommendations (PCM/TCM/DTCM, etc) and my vehicle remained at the dealership until June 1, 2021 (a total of 12 days) 3rd Repair Attempt: On October 6, 2022, for the 3rd time I received multiple error messages stating "Service Electronic Parking Break" "Service Anti Lock Breaking System" "Service Park Brake" "MIL" light was blinking "CEL" light was on as well and my vehicle would not accelerate. I was in the middle of a busy interstate when this happened. my vehicle remained at the manufacturer approved dealership in repair until October 27, 2022 ( a total of 21 days) All receipts, invoices and services completed to attempt repair are documented and can be provided upon request. Most recently, August 10, 2023, all of the same error messages and issues above are occurring and I am unable to move my vehicle.

A LIST OF THE CURRENT LIFE THREATENING AND NON LIFE THREATENING CONDITIONS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH MY JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK. THE MOST SERIOUS BEING A PERSISTENT PROBLEM IN RELATION TO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING AND ACCELERATING CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND IN SOME CASES WHIPLASH. AS AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER I HAVE SEEN THE ELECTRONIC REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE AND YET THERE IS STILL PERSISTENT MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ENCOUNTERED LINT MODE WERE THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FROM GEARS 1, 2, OR 3 ON 65MPH HIGHWAY WHICH I BELIEVE HAS CAUSED IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THE ISSUE OCCURRED IN JULY ON ROUTE 202 IN A CATTLE SHOOT CREATED BY SUMMER TIME ROAD WORK I HAD TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NEARLY 2 MILES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND ASSES THE ISSUE. BELOW IS A LIST OF CURRENT AND PAST PROBLEMS: -TRANSMISSION STOPPED ON A 65MPH HIGHWAY (NEW SOFTWARE LOADED STILL A PROBLEM) -SHIFTER LOCKED IN DRIVE COULDN'T SHIFT TO NEUTRAL TOOK 4 HOURS TO SHUT CAR OFF AT DEALERSHIP (ENTIRE SHIFTER REPLACED) - NAVIGATION (REPLACED TWO TIMES, ON MY THIRD NAV SYSTEM) - WINDOW MOTOR MECHANISM (REPLACED) - MOONROOF SHADE AND ASSEMBLY (BEING REPLACED THIS WEEK) -FAULTY WIRING OF CIGARETTE LIGHTER CAUSING FUSE TO BLOW DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHORT (REWIRED AND FUSE REPLACED) -SPEAKER (REPLACED) -WATERPROOFING TRIM FALLING OFF (REPLACED) -RATTLING FROM BOLTS FOR SEAT-BELTS (ATTEMPTED FIX DIDN'T WORK) -O2 SENSOR CAUSING MULTIPLE ENGINE STARTS (REPLACED) -FRONT SEAT UNEVEN (REPLACED) -RECALLS RANGING FROM HACKING TO ELECTRICAL SHORTS THAT HAVE BEEN NOTED TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL FIRE

Oct 03, 2022

I had purchased this 2014 jeep in the summer of 2021, which for the first many months was in the dealership repair shop longer than what I had it in my possession. After my purchase this vehicle immediately started having very strong jerking when hitting the exploratory, and even when attempting to hold a speed. These strong jerks were so strong it would cause your body to jolt forward. The dealership finally threw up their arms and said this was typical of the jeeps, and ignoring the danger. This vehicle has now been sitting in my driveway unable to start for over a month now, and was finally towed to another repair shop, just to learn that the starter is shot and needed to be replaced costing over $600.00 dollars. This vehicle is most definitely a dangerous lemon that it appears that I am stuck with.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT'S HAPPENED. AFTER I FILL UP A TANK LOAD OF GAS, THE CAR WANTS TO LUNGE FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A STOP. IT DOES A FEW JOLTS BEFORE IT PICKS UP SPEED. TODAY, WHEN I CRANKED IT, IT STALLED. I TURNED IT OFF THEN CRANKED IT AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE. THEN I PULLED OUT THE DRIVEWAY AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE DOWN THE STREET (35 MPH). WHEN I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN, THE CAR SAID 'SHIFT TO PARK TO SHIFT GEARS.' I SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO PARK, WAITED A MINUTE, THEN BACK TO DRIVE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON, SHIFTED TO DRIVE THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE. I GOT UP TO 45 MPH AND APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. THE CAR SAID 'SHIFT TO PARK TO SHIFT GEARS.' AT THE STOP SIGN, I SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO PARK, WAITED THEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I TURNED IT OFF THEN TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT STALLED. I TURNED IT OFF THEN WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON.

Jun 25, 2019

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, I WAS ON A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING 10MPH. THE DASH SCREEN STATED, "PLACE IN 'P' THEN SELECT GEAR." I THEN PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TURNING THE IGNITION BUT IT DID NOT START. I HAD TO GET A STRANGER TO JUMP START MY CAR AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHILE PULLING INTO A GAS STATION ON A CITY STREET AND IT RANDOMLY STALLED. I TURNED THE IGNITION AND IT STARTED UP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THANKFULLY ON BOTH OCCASIONS THERE HAS BEEN NO CAR DRIVING BEHIND ME.

MY JEEP CHEROKEE 2014 HAS BEEN HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. LAST NIGHT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE, THATS WHY IM HERE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE JEEP JUST STARTED TO BRAKE ON ITS OWN. I WAS SLIDING IN THE SNOW AND ALMOST FLIPED. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE JEEP. I HAD TROUBLE PULLING IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO FORCE DRIVE TO THE SIDE. WOULD NOT GO ON REVERSE. WHEN THE TOWN TRUCK ARRIVED,HE HAD TROUBLE PUTTING IT ON TOW TRUCK. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OVER SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED.

The electronic parking brake locked up at an intersection - only way I could get it going again was disconnect and reconnect the battery. Took to dealer and was diagnosed as the parking brake module. Dealer wanted $1900 to repair but the part was on back order for an unknown time. Removed all fuses linked to parking brake and was told to drive it - only has front wheel drive as computer thinks parking brake is on - jeep has told us that water leaks into to them and shorts them out. Not impressed as times are tough and not getting any help from Jeep. Why is there not a recall as this seems like a infection with this model?

This morning, on the way to work, the electric parking brake module of my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk activated when the vehicle was in motion, making it impossible to accelerate or reverse. If I had been driving on the highway or interstate, this could have been fatal. The tech who towed my car said this is a known issue, and his sister even traded in her Cherokee because of this issue. There has recently been rain in the area, and it is a known issue among 2014-2020 Jeep Cherokee owners that the emergency parking brake module corrodes due to rainfall. The tech confirmed that my electric parking module is corroded. This issue has been confirmed by the repair center, which is charging $1,300 for a repair. I have reached out to Mopar, the manufacturer, to complain. This is a widespread, known-issue among Jeep owners, and there's currently a class action lawsuit against Jeep regarding this issue. There were no warning signs before the parking break activated. This needs to be a Jeep Cherokee recall.

Oct 01, 2024

My vehicle dashboard gave me a "service park brake" message. The emergency brake would automatically engage if attempting to shift the car into park. The emergency brake could not be disengaged. The vehicle was towed to a Jeep dealership. The dealership has determined that the "park brake module connector" and surrounding wires have corroded due to water intrusion. They told me the car is considered unsafe as if it were to be driven the e-brake could engage at any moment. They also determined there is water leaking into that area of the car i.e. the rear left cargo area where the brake module sits. My online research has determined this is a common issue, and Jeep has not had a recall or notices about it. The water leaking could come from the sun/moon roof or the wheel well. Please visit this link and others like it to see that many people are having this issue with no long-term solution per the manufacturer. Some people have reported multiple failures of the park brake module on the same vehicle with the repair costing $1k+ each time.

The electronic parking brake module was damaged due and corroded, due to water, leading to the Jeep being unable to disengage the parking brake. The module is located in the rear of the trunk and no other signs of water were present when inspected. All of the Jeeps safety systems were effected by the module, the dash board had two lights indicated “P!” And “brake.” The module was replaced by CDR Fullerton in Somerville. The vehicle was inspected by Jeep in Somerville and they were able to reproduce the problem. The vehicle has never been subjected to any type of water damage before. The issue started while driving on a local road when the ebrake automatically engaged resulting in loss of power. After pulling over and starting restarting the car I was able to drive the car home. However, the problem reoccurred many times and we were unable to use the car until the dealership was able to fix it.

WHEELS

The lug bolts that hold the tires on are swollen in place and cannot be removed without breaking them. As a result I cannot get the tires off of my vehicle. To remove the tires I have to take the vehicle to a dealership where they have to break the bolts to get the tires off. The jeep dealership told me this was a common problem with jeeps and Chryslers because the factory installs lug bolts with caps on them which are prone to swelling and prevent the tires from being removed. If I had gotten a flat tire I would have been stranded as the tires cannot be removed due to the swelling of the bolts. This is obviously very dangerous as it results in people being stranded on the side of the road because the tire cannot be removed to put on a spare. To fix this problem and prevent it from reoccurring I now have to buy 20 new lug bolts that are not capped and take my car to the dealership where they have special tools to break the lug bolts and remove the tires. This is also causing financial hardship as the new uncapped lug bolts cost $204 and the labor to remove the tires is $312. These capped lug bolts are defective because they are known to be prone to swelling and locking the tires in place. As such this is a dangerous factory defect and these capped bolts should not be used.

My 2014 Jeep Cherokee began exhibiting repeated transmission and electrical malfunctions, particularly after startup or while idling. The most concerning issue is the appearance of a “Switch to Park” warning message, which occurs while the vehicle is already in Drive. When this happens, the transmission fails to engage properly, and I’m unable to shift into gear without cycling through Park multiple times. **seems to start happening after filling gas tank to full** This poses a major safety risk, especially in intersections or during stop-and-go traffic. The car has also experienced flashing odometer issues, rough idle, and erratic behavior when shifting — all of which point to a communication failure between core modules (BCM, TCM, PCM). A Chrysler-certified dealership performed a proxy alignment after acknowledging that the modules were “talking at the same time.” While no fault codes appeared on my OBD-II scanner, the dealer determined that the issue required a software-level alignment. However, I was told this is not part of any current recall or TSB, despite my symptoms being identical to other complaints already logged (e.g., NHTSA ID 11425007). This problem has occurred multiple times, both before and after dealership service. I was also informed there are no current recalls, but VIN-based systems like VinSeeker.com have suggested there may be open recall alerts related to transmission or software issues. This type of malfunction places the driver and passengers at risk of unexpected stalling, transmission disengagement, or inability to accelerate — especially dangerous in high-traffic areas. The issue appears to be known, systemic, and potentially tied to faulty transmission control software or defective module synchronization.

This vehicle has an extremely dangerous & ongoing issue related to the 9-speed transmission. Many times the vehicle does not know when to shift, sputtering/sluggish/jerky when accelerating from being stopped and coming to a stop. Frequently the vehicle engages itself into Neutral and/or Parking Brake while driving at both city and highway speeds. This is a very dangerous safety hazard as any motorist trailing behind me can not anticipate the sudden deceleration that ensues. The vehicle then either becomes "stuck" in a gear at too high an RPM at given speed, or engages the parking brake or seems to then be in Neutral. These instances regularly frequent, leaving me having to pull off side of roadway in sometimes dangerous position, perform handful of restart cycles in order to clear the condition and be back in a proper enough gear-state to get back on the road. The following cluster warning lights coincide with the issues: "Check Engine" - "Service Transmission" - "Service Parking Brake". After a handful of restart cycles, the lights clear from the cluster, but the issues remain. The vehicle is unable to come to a comfortable complete stop without a premature-sudden jerk stop. This throws anyone in the vehicle forward in their seats. Also, when ascending an incline or traversing a decline, the vehicle shifts off-sequence in such a way to violently jerk-kick, feeling as though something in the drivetrain will disconnect itself from the chassis. I have recently attempted to submit a recall request over the phone with Chrysler as these conditions are well documented past recalls that are "no longer open". Most notably Chrysler Recall Numbers V69, S55, and P31. They will not "waive" repair costs for me. I purchased the vehicle in March-April of 2024 with 87,000 miles. If previous owner & dealership did not address the recall when it was open, I feel it should not be my financial responsibility to correct, nor should I be absorbing the negative equity when traded in.

I was driving on the highway approximately 60mph, suddenly the service 4wd light appears. I took it to a Jeep dealership service center and diagnose and needed a 2 speed transfer case unit. It was replaced costing a little under $3000. The problem was not fixed and garage said it was misdiagnosed and still doesn’t know what’s wrong. Now the vehicle stalls while I’m driving and will not start immediately. I’m afraid this is going to cause an accident! Also it will have a sudden acceleration or a delayed acceleration while driving or when moving from a complete stop. This is very scary!

Nov 25, 2021

PURCHASED USED NOVEMBER OF 2017. HAS A LITTLE OVER 55,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO TAKE LONGER THAN IT SHOULD TO SHIFT AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T SHIFT UP AT ALL OR WILL SHIFT DOWN OR EVEN TO NEUTRAL SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. ALSO WILL LOSE POWER AND THEN SOMETIMES USE A LOT OF POWER WHEN NOT NEEDED, CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK OR ACCELERATE OUT OF NOWHERE. HAPPENS VERY OFTEN AND HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY GETTING WORSE SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT. BUT SEVERELY NOTICED IT ON MY LAST ROAD TRIP ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the emergency automatic braking independently engaged. The contact stated that the vehicle did not stop however, there was an excessively hard jerk that occurred. The vehicle was driven to the destination without the failure reoccurring. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.

Had to have our 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited towed in on 10/11/2019 Parking break will not shut off, stuck will not move. Same problem happening again December 2023!!!!!!!! 2019 Dealership repairs: Cause: Water intrusion into the EPB Module & Connector. Replaced fuses checked module & found when disconnected that the module & harness were both green & corroded. New module & connector with new wires required to repair. Removed & replaced module, cut off old wires & wired all new wiring to a new connector, new connector has weather pack insulators around wiring to protect from moisture intrusion. Reconfigured new module parking break now works & was able to release rear breaks. $919.14 Cost As of today January 6, 2024 the Jeep is still currently in the garage with the SAME EXACT ISSUE. Apparently this is going to be an ongoing issue. Now I am going to have to pay another $900.. This also is a SECURITY RISK! NO SECURITY RISK SHOULD EVER BE OVERLOOKED!!

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while her son was driving at 30-40 MPH, the electronic braking system engaged inadvertently and the vehicle stopped. The electronic braking system (EBS) warning light was illuminated. The vehicle failed to shift into gears. The dealer was notified of the failure and provided step by step instructions on disengaging the electronic parking brake on the center display. The contact was then able to drive the vehicle to the dealer who overrode the electronic parking brake system. The dealer diagnosed that the furnace and the electronic parking brake module needed to be replaced. However, the electronic parking brake module replacement part was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Forbthe past gew months my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude had been in and out of the shop. The ebrake will set itself and not disengage. I think they have replaced everything remotely associated with the ebrake. I picked it up AGAIN yesterday afternoon, drive 3 minutes down the road, pulled into a parking space, put in park, and the ebrake came om before I even shut the vehicle off. It will not disengage. I am currently sitting beside the vehicle, waitin for the service tech to call me back yet again. I have quite literally lost count of how many times rhis vehicle has been in the shop since I got it a year and a half ago.

2nd time, I did not put auto brake on but it engaged itself and than was stuck and would not disengage. Luckily I was not in traffic, because that could have been a serious safety issue. The e brake engages on its own and than won’t dislodge. Multiple times this has happened now. Took it in once and paid almost $1500 to get it repaired, 3 days later same thing happened again!

I FIRST EXPERIENCED WHAT FELT LIKE MY TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING PROPERLY RIGHT AWAY. I NOTICED IT IN LOWER GEARS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I THEN STARTED TO EXPERIENCE MY ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLING. I WOULD BE GOING SLOW AND I WAS USUALLY TAKING A RIGHT TURN. I WENT TO TURN ON MY CAR AND IT SAID ENGINE FAILURE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO TOW IT TO THEM. I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE REASON MY CAR AHUT OFF WAS BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANY OIL. I HAVE ALL MY RECORDS AND MY OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AT A DEALERSHIP LESS THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR. SO THEY PUT OIL IN IT AND SAID I WAS FINE. WITHIN A WEEK MY CAR DIED TURNING RIGHT ON RAIL ROAD TRACKS IN AN INSTERSECTION. WE HAD TO HAVE A POLICE OFFICER COME AND PUSH US OFF THE TRACKS AND WAIT FOR US TO GET TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD MY THERE WAS A HARNESS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST $700! THEY SAID THAT HE HARNESS WAS UNDER MY HOOD WHEN I DID RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS IN MY TRUNK. THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE. IN MY TRUNK? I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS HARNESS WAS A COMMON ISSUE BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING. NOW IT IS A YEAR LATER AND WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. MY SERVICE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON RANDOMLY. MY ENGINE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH. I AM AT A LOSS WHAT TO DO.

2014 JEEP CHEROKEE WRANGLER 2.4L 4WD. VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY DURING DRIVING OPERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED OFF AND ON SINCE LAST FALL (2014). HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING COMMUTE, INCLUDING WHEN ENGINE IS FIRST WARMING UP AND WHEN VEHICLE HAS TRAVELLED FOR SOME DISTANCE. SOME DAYS IT DOES NOT OCCUR AT ALL. ENGINE TEMPERATURE SEEMS TO HAVE NO RELATION TO INCIDENTS. SPEED HAS NO RELATION AS IT HAS OCCURRED AT 5MPH UP TO 65MPH. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE HAS NO RELATIONSHIP AS THE TEMP HAS VARIED FROM 0 TO 80 DEGREES F. TOOK TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SHOP ON 12/30/14 - CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SHOP DID NOT FIND CAUSE BUT DID UPDATE BCM BASED ON TSB. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. 5/20/15 - 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE BACK IN SHOP FOR SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

5 complaints

While driving, at any speed, for any length of time (sometimes minutes, sometimes hours) the car will act like it is shifting to neutral, no matter how fast I am traveling, it’s happened at 10 mph and up. It’s random, no rhyme or reason. It has been in 4 shops since November and does not code for errors. No one has found the issue. It is unsafe as it will redline the rpm, make the accelerator useless, and the only cure is to drop the car into neutral and abruptly stop. This can lead to a serious accident as there is not time to come to a safe stop or pull over safely on certain roads. It appears like this may be the same issue as a recall from 2016, maybe the fix didn’t fix the hazard? Some lights flash on the dash. Immediately when it happens, the traction control light comes on, and occasionally the “service transmission” warning will briefly appear. My transmission has been checked multiple times now and it appears to be in good condition. One jeep dealer thought it could “maybe” be a transfer case issue as it wasn’t going into gear. They did the W20 recall and it hasn’t had that issue since. The red lining and apparent neutral shift is still happening. We had another shop give us a 2nd opinion on the transfer case, it was functional and nothing was wrong with it. Two shops concluded the transmission and transfer case were fine. We have had three diagnostics on the car, one came back with a faulty oil sensor, which turned out to be unplugged, however we replaced it anyway to be safe. And one came back with voltage errors since it sat in their parking lot for a month, they replaced a battery cable and nothing else came up. But they were willing to replace the transfer case in a maybe, which prompted our second opinion. This is frustrating and I am terrified to drive it. The last time I did I nearly got hit by a semi truck when it redlined the rpm and I had to abruptly stop where there was no safe place to pull over. This happened 4x in 20 miles

HI I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUES. WHEN I DRIVE (20-25 MPH), THE CAR JOLTS AS IF SOMEONE HAS HIT ME FROM BEHIND ALMOST AS IF THE CAR IS SHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING GEARS. WHEN IM APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND GRADUALLY SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT MY FOOT ON EITHER THE GAS OR BRAKE, THE CAR JOLTS BACK AND FORTH. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN IM DRIVING UPHILL AND DOWNHILL AROUND 20 MPH. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AS THIS IS A RISK THAT I WILL CRASH DUE TO THE SHIFTING. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE IN WHICH DID NOT WORK, I EXPERIENCE EVERYDAY WHEN I AM DRIVING AND CONTINUE TO BE WORSE EVERYDAY.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER TWICE IN ONE WEEK.

Jul 15, 2016

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR MAKES IT A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE EXPERIENCED: THE CAR NOT TURNING ON OR SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN (WHILE DRIVING) DUE TO NOT ENOUGH OIL IN THE ENGINE, LUNGING, DELAYED ACCELERATION, MISSING GEARS WHEN SHIFTING, LOUD BANGS AND NOISES WHEN SHIFTING, INDICATOR LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING, THE LIST GOES ON. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (EXCLUDING THE 6 TIMES FOR RECALLS) AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIX THESE ISSUES. I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I'M SCARED I'LL DIE I CAN'T SELL THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAS LOST ALL VALUE I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR RIGHT NOW

Jun 28, 2016

WHEN DRIVING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOOSE SPEED AND WILL DROP INTO LOW GEAR. A SERVICE NOTE COMES ON THE SCREEN STATING, "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND "SERVICE PARK BRAKE." I AM UNABLE TO HAVE ANY CONTROL OF THE SPEED OF THE CAR. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN THE CAR OFF SEVERAL TIMES, UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION ALLOWS TO SWITCH SPEEDS/GEARS. AT FIRST, WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL JUST DROP OUT AND NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE FORWARD. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN GOING ANYWHERE FROM 25 MPH TO 78 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT, AND THEY SEEMED TO FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER IN ANOTHER STATE, AND THEY WERE STILL UNSUCCESSFUL WITH FINDING OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AGAIN, I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AND I AM JUST WAITING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR SOMEONE TO REAR END ME BECAUSE OF THE DRASTIC LOSE IN SPEED.

Wife and I were towing our 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk behind our 28,000 LB Motorhome and it began to shake and wobble so bad we had to pull over. We got 35 miles from our Home base in Ohio. Sat on the side of the road about 20 min and took off again toward an exit about a mile ahead. It did not wobble so we drove on. About 30 miles later it did it again. After it did it 5 times in 80 miles we decided to have the Jeep hauled home and put away for the Winter and we left for the South.

May 02, 2022

EXPERIENCED AN UNCONTROLLABLE CAR WOBBLE PROBLEM THREE TIMES, WHILE FLAT TOWING OUR 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE BEHIND OUR MOTOR HOME IN SEPTEMBER ON TRIP FROM WYOMING TO MICHIGAN. AN IRREGULARITY IN THE HIGHWAY INITIATES A VIOLENT SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WHICH APPEARS TO ATTAIN A NATURAL FREQUENCY THAT REQUIRES BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE HALT TO STOP THE OSCILLATING. THE THIRD TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS LIFE THREATENING ON I-80 SOUTH OF CHICAGO AT RUSH HOUR WITH FIVE LANES OF TRAFFIC AT 60 PLUS MPH. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE WHERE I COULD GET MY RIG OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHICH OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE NEW JEEP CHEROKEE. EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED THE NEW JEEP CHEROKEE TO BE FLAT TOWED BEHIND A MOTORHOME, AND WAS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THE UNPREDICTABLE DANGER THE WOBBLE PROHIBITS FLAT TOWING. A FAST GROWING NUMBER OF CONSUMERS WHO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM NEED ASSISTANCE FROM CHRYSLER ON HOW TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INSTIGATE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AS THERE HAS BEEN NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM ON THEIR PART. WE HAVE OUR TRAVEL PLANS ON HOLD UNTIL WE CAN HAVE A REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM.

MY DAUGHTERS JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT 2.4L AT 62000 MILES HAS SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STOPPED ENTERING CITY STREETS AND WHEN BRAKING HARD TO AVOID ANOTHER CAR. WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS AND SUDDENLY ITS STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD TO STEER . THE DASH COMES ON WITH AN ERROR ON SCREEN SAYING, "CAR MUST BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO SHIFT." TURNING THE KEY DOES NOTHING UNTIL WE TRY MULTIPLE TIMES.

MY VEHICLE BETWEEN 50,000 TO 62500 MILES HAVE BEEN SHUTTING DOWN WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STOPPED ENTERING HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS AND SUDDENLY ITS STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I CANNOT STEER VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR MYSELF TO GET ALTERNATOR REPLACED, CABIN FILTER, NEW SPARK PLUGS, AND SEVERAL BATTERIES AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE 17 MONTHS.

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. LOST POWER, LOST POWER STEERING. COULD BARELY STEER CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED OFF, WAITED, RESTARTED AND IT RAN FINE. SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON FOR A WHILE, THEN WENT OFF AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES. THIS HAPPENED FOR THE SECOND TIME ON JUNE 27, 2016. AFTER THE FIRST TIME SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE, THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. LOSING POWER AND POWER STEERING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY FOR US, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT SO WE WE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD ON BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. MUST BE A SOFTWARE DEFECT, AS THE ENGINE IS RUNNING FINE.

Jun 28, 2016

AT FOUR DIFFERENT RANDOM OCCASIONS VEHICLE WILL DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION WHILE IN DRIVE AND BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE ONLY THING RESPONSIVE ARE THE BRAKES. THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT AS WELL AND THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND PARKING LIGHT WILL APPEAR ON THE GAUGE DISPLAY. AFTER PULLING OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT OFF FOR 5 MINUTES, I WOULD THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE AND STILL GET A INDICATOR STATING TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK WHEN IT IS ALREADY IN PARK. AFTERWARDS VEHICLE INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A FEW RESTARTS AND ONCE PUT IN DRIVE GEARS WOULD SHIFT ROUGHLY. AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES OF TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF THINGS WILL RETURN TO NORMAL BUT AS STATED BEFORE I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TRIGGERS THE TRANSMISSION TO DISENGAGE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY AND HIGHWAY GOING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS.

AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS OUR 2ND ENGINE AND THE DEALER SAYS IT IS THIS NEW ENGINE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE JEEP WILL IDLE ROUGH, SHIFT ON IT'S OWN, ALL THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AND NOW THE PARKING BRAKE LOCKED UP AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. I ASSUME IT IS THE TRANSIMISSION BECAUSE IT STILL WILL THROW IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING.

Sep 01, 2020

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND SLOWED VERY QUICKLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ASSIST EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON ( I THINK THAT WAS WHAT IT SAID. AS I PULLED TO THE ROAD SIDE THERE WAS LITTLE NO RPMS . I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED , RESTARTED AND STILL NO RPMS. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM AND RESTARTED AND LIGHTS WHERE ALL GONE . THIS WAS GREAT FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS AND MAYBE 300 MILES AND AGAIN IT HAPPENED . THIS TIME I HAD MY CADE READER AND RECEIVED A P1DCD CODE, I DID NOT CLEAR CODE BUT SHUT ENGINE DOWN AND RESTARTED. THE CAR RAN WITH RPMS OK BUT WAS A BIT SLUGGISH . I CALLED DEALER WHEN I GOT HOME AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO DO A DIOGNOSTIC TEST TO FIGURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I DRIVE MY KIDS IN THE MORNINGS AND FEEL THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT . I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT MYSELF LET ALONE MY CHILDREN WITH ME.

MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE AT 41000 MILES HAD A BRAKE FAILURE. NOW AT 51000 MILES THE ENGINE HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE IN MOTION AND SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME AFTER THE 2ND TIME IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 3.5 QUARTS LOW ON OIL AND THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF TO "PROTECT ITSELF" . THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR IN MY GARAGE FOR 3 DAYS, AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 3 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, UPON CHECKING IT IS AGAIN LOW ON OIL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED AS RECOMMENDED AND DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS SUDDEN OIL USE, THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE OR SMOKING, AND THE WARNING SYSTEM IS NOT INDICATING LOW OIL PRESSURE. IT IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MONDAY MORNING.

FIRST - VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO PARK AND I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF. WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE DEALER. SECOND - WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE VEHICLE GAVE 5-6 BEEPS AND INFORMATION PANEL SAID, "RESTART VEHICLE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION." THE CAR STOPPED MOVING FORWARD WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. SHIFTING INTO PARK (TO RESTART THE VEHICLE) THE CAR VIBRATED AND JUMPED. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WAS ON, MESSAGE SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON, AND THE D(RIVE) LIGHT WAS BLINKING. THIRD - ALL OF THE ABOVE AGAIN, EXCEPT EVERYONE ON THE EXPRESSWAY WAS MOVING AT 65-70 MILES PER HOUR, AND MY CAR STOPPED IN THE THIRD LANE.

WINDSHIELD CRACK DUE TO STONE BEING THROWN UP AT HIGHWAY SPEED. TOOK APPROX. 10 DAYS TO GET A NEW WINDSHIELD. DURING THIS TIME THE WINDSHIELD CRACK GREW AND WENT DOWN INTO THE HEATED PART OF THE WINDSHIELD. IN THE CHEROKEE THE HEATED WINDSHIELD IS AUTOMATICALLY ON AS LONG AS THE CAR IS RUNNING. WHEN THE CRACK WENT INTO THE AREA OF THE HEATING COIL WITHIN THE WINDSHIELD IT CAUSED A SHORT IN THE WINDSHIELD CREATING AN ARC OF RED HOT ELECTRICITY. THIS IN TURN CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO HEAT UP, MELTING MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THIS HEATED WINDSHIELD AND THERE IS NO SOFTWARE REDUNDANCY TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND TURN OFF THIS CIRCUIT. THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. TO DO SO WOULD JEOPARDIZE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND OCCUPANTS. A BIG FIRE COULD ENSUE. TO BE FAIR, JEEP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.

I HAD JUST PICKED UP MY JEEP 2014 CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING THE S-55 RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE. (MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED NOT TO NEED THE NEW TRANSAXLE WIRING HARNESS PARTS, ONLY THE SOFTWARE UPDATE.) UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE BATTERY LIGHT AND ALARM CHIME CAME ON WHILE MAKING A U-TURN AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD AT LOW SPEED. AT THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT, I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF STEERING AS SLOWING TO A STOP. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE LEFT TURN AS THE STEERING RE-ENGAGED UPON ACCELERATION. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, AS STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN AS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND SPEED DECELERATED TO A STOP. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP VEHICLE BACK THE SHORT DISTANCE TO THE DEALERSHIP BY KEEPING OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND USING PARKING LOTS AND BACK STREETS. THIS OCCURRENCE OF EVENTS WAS THE SAME AS MY HUSBAND EXPERIENCED PRIOR TO THE S-55 TRANSAXLE WIRING HARNESS RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE, EXCEPT HE EVENTUALLY ALSO LOST ALL EMOTIVE POWER (COMPLAINT # 10915926).

When I fill up my car completely the car will sputter and turn off when idling at a stop. Then it may turn off and says to put in park. This has happened several times and in intersections which one incident almost caused an accident. Only happens when car gas tank is completely full. Please advise. Thank you

May 16, 2023

This vehicle has a known issue that has been ongoing for years. If the gas tank is filled (but not topped off) the car will stall when you begin driving when it sits idle at a traffic light or stop sign during the first 30 minutes of use until some gas burns off. When this car was purchased used in Dec 2017 it happened immediately after the first full tank. When idling or right as you step on the gas the car starts “puttering” and stalls. A message states something like “put car in park and restart”. The only way to restart the car is to put it in park, turn it off completely, and restart it. The when you try to go again, it might stall or it might not. This can happen over and over again. When we determined what was the cause we got in the habit of not filling the tank completely, but sometimes you forget. Then as you start driving, it stalls…multiple times. This is an extremely dangerous situation to be in when the car stalls in the middle of an intersection and will likely end up causing a fatal accident. During a recent recall appointment at Jeep service department, the car stalled as I was pulling into the service department parking lot, so they first hand experienced the issue…in fact the service advisor had trouble starting the car. Jeep service called me later and told me there was an existing “Star Case” with Jeep corporate. Case number S1814000002. This symptom in the document are exactly what I am experiencing. The suggested repair to is replace the fuel pump, fuel pump “O” ring, and the Evaporative Charcoal canister totaling about $1400. If you google “jeep S1814000002” you will find dozens and dozens of other complaints about the same issue, and not just for the Cherokee, it is other Jeeps as well. While this is a known issue, Jeep refuses to fix or issue a recall on this extremely dangerous safety issue.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES OF JERKING/MISSING GEARS WHEN IT SHIFTS, WHEN I TOOK TO BE CHECKED I WAS TOLD IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE UNTIL THE ENGINE BLOWS UP. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY SORT OF ISSUES WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. I HAVE ALSO NOW HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING FROM BEING STATIONARY, MULTIPLE TIMES IT HAS NOT STARTED AFTER BEING OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, IE 24 HOURS, BUT ALSO NUMEROUS TIMES MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, NO LIGHTS, NO GAS, NO RADIO ETC. I WAS LUCKILY ON THE SIDE OF A NON-BUSY ROAD AT THAT TIME ABOUT TO TURN ONTO A MAIN ROAD. I HAD BOTH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. I WAS UNABLE TO START MY VEHICLE FROM THIS NOW STATIONARY POSITION FOR APPROX. 15 MINUTES I SAT IDLE IN THE ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. ANOTHER TIME MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION MY CAR SHUT OFF AS I WAS TURNING AND I WAS ALMOST T-BONED MY VEHICLE STARTED UP AFTER TRYING A FEW TIMES AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD WAY. ONCE I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT TO COLLECT MYSELF, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT TOOK APPROX. 4 TIMES TRYING TO START IT AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND WILL BE TAKING IT BACK, TO BE CHECKED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THEM THE FIRST TIME FOR IT TO BE CHECKED AS TO WHY IT SHUT OFF AND THEY COULD ONLY COME UP WITH THAT IT WAS LOW ON OIL, THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE, WHICH CLEARLY THE OIL WASN'T THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS ONLY BEEN ABOUT 400 MILES SINCE THE OIL CHANGE.

I AM A NURSE AND TRAVEL FOR A LIVING. ON MY WAY HOME FROM ASSIGNMENT IN WV. JUST OUTSIDE A BOWLING GREEN ON I65. MY CAR JERKED THEN LOST ALL POWER. ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I WAS GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR. I HAD NO ACCELERATION. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER, ACROSS 3 LANES OF INTERSTATE. I ATTEMPTED JEEPS EMERGENCY NUMBER BUT GOT THE UNABLE TO CONNECT VOICE MAIL, AFTER 5 MINUTES MY CAR RESTARTED. I REMAINED ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD. 65 MILES LATER AND 15 MILES FROM NASHVILLE THE CAR JERKED AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ONCE AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR RESTARTED. I AM NOW IN A HOTEL FOR THE THIRD NIGHT AND UNABLE TO GET HOME. I TOOK MY CAR TO JEEP THIS MORNING TO BE SERVICED. I WAS TOLD A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER DID NOT OFFER TO PAY FOR RENTAL CAR, HOTEL ECT. THE NEW PART IS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TUESDAY. NO I WAS NOT KILLED OR INVOLVED IN A CRASH HOWEVER, I CAN THINK OF SEVERAL SCENARIOS WHERE I EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN IN A HORRIBLE CRASH. WHAT IF THE NEW MODULE IS ALSO BAD I ASKED. IT'S LIKE MY NEW LAPTOP I WAS TOLD. SOMETIMES THEY JUST BREAK. *TR

MY PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE FROM PARK AFTER HAVING JUST STARTED IT AND IT DROVE FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACKWARDS. I HAD TO PUT IT BACK INTO PARK THEN BACK INTO REVERSE BEFORE IT WOULD GO BACKWARDS (NO I WAS NOT ON A HILL I WAS FLAT, THE CAR WAS ACTING AS THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE INSTEAD OF REVERSE). THEN IT PROGRESSED TO I WENT TO CHANGE FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND THE ENGINE JUST REVED WHEN THE GAS WAS PRESSED (ACTING AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL) AND I YET AGAIN HAD TO PUT IT BACK INTO PARK AND TURN IT OFF TO GET IT TO GO INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. THEN IT PROGRESSED TO MY BATTERY NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND MY CAR NOT WANTING TO START UP RIGHT AWAY. AND IT GOT EVEN WORSE TO THE POINT MY CAR NOW SAYS I NEED SERVICE ON THE SHIFTER. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 9 MONTHS AND I DRIVE IT 10 MILES A DAY (TO AND FROM WORK COMBINED) 5 DAYS A WEEK AND HARDLY EVER ANYMORE THAN THAT. I HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT BEFORE THIS WEEK AND NOW ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE POPPING UP AT ONCE.

Beginning of this year vehicle was taken into mechanic for issues. It had rear differential, exhaust and motor mounts all repaired/replaced! The vehicle still had alot of vibration and just 3 weeks ago wouldn't start! Was towed to dealership since my machanic couldn't work on code issues that was code that came up on Diagnostic machine! Was told by dealership today that the pcm, fuel pump and battery are all faulty! There were multiple recalls since 2020 for the pcm, fuel and electrical the 2014-2020 jeep cherokees. It was taken in for the two recalls we received and wasn't repaired, was just looked at! Now we are having more issues with the vehicle! I have reported this to Chrysler, they are supposed to return my call after making claim and speaking to dealership! This vehicle has had a new engine and transmission put in by dealership in 2016 under warranty. We spent over $3000 in repairs since then to the rear differential, exhaust and engine mounts! Was told this new repair will be another $3000 for the fuel pump, pcm, and battery!

MAIN ISSUE IS WITH THE NINE SPEED TRANSMISSION ON OUR 2014 CHEROKEE. WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION FROM THE DAY W BOUGHT CAR. INITIALLY THERE WERE THE BUMPS, BANGS, KNOCKS AND HARD ERRATIC SHIFTING BOTH UP AND DOWN SHIFTING. NOW WITH 20,000+ MILES, AND MANY-MANY TRIPS TO DEALER WE ARE STILL HAVING TO DEAL WITH A SITUATION IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN "FLASHED" TO REMOVE SECOND GEAR ON DOWNSHIFT, THUS HANGING UP IN THIRD, AND CAUSING VEHICLE TO ALMOST STALL OUT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW, NON-STOPPING SPEED. THIS HAS CREATED SOME GUT WRENCHING AS WELL SITUATIONS. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM IS TO MANUALLY SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR - - - AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY WIFE GENERALLY USES THIS CAR AND DOES NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND THE "MANUAL SHIFTING PART". HOPEFULLY, SHE WON'T GET INJURED OR WORSE IN THIS THING!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

4 complaints

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - When you fill up the gas tank, the car will buck and stall and turn off until the gas tank is less than full (usually about 3/4 full before it starts driving properly again). This has caused the car to shut off completely and not restart even in the middle of driving / in traffic and is a major safety hazard. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - The car stops unexpectedly and will not restart on the road. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - Yes, I have documentation from several trips to the dealer and the mechanic. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - Yes Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - No

CAR BUCKS AND STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. FOUR TIMES TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY, DRIVING CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC. MADE IT TO THE DEALER. THEY WERE ABLE TO FINALLY SEE THE PROBLEM AS NO CODES WERE GOING OFF BEFORE. CAR WAS IN MOTION AND STALLED. RESTARTED,THEN STALLED AT THE RED LIGHT. SO IT STALLED WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY.

I THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE GAS BUT I HAVE GONE THROUGH DIFFERENT TANKS AND DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS. USUALLY FIRST THING IN THE AM.

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING THE CAR DOWN A CITY STREET WHEN IT HAS FOR NO KNOWN REASON SHUT OFF AND BECOME IMMEDIATELY INOPERABLE. THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS WAS IN JUNE 2020. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT GOT NO INDICATION FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC THAT SPECIALIZES IN ELECTRONIC ISSUES. THEY FOUND AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT THEY SAID MAY HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. THIS PAST SATURDAY (1/16/21) I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN A CITY STREET WHEN AGAIN, WITH NO WARNING, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEY CAN FIND NOTHING DIAGNOSTICALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR THESE ISSUES BUT IT IS IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT IS AT THE MECHANICS. I CAN PROVIDE IF NEEDED.

ONCE IS GAVE ME THAT MESSAGE IT WAS AS IF MY CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME SPEED UP OR ANYTHING NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED ON THE GAS. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND MY SPEED KEPT DECREASING AND I ALMOST GOT HIT 3 TIMES TRYING TO GET OVER TO RESTART MY CAR. ONCE I FINALLY GOT OVER I HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE AND I'M TERRIFIED I'M GOING TO BE IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

ON TUESDAY, JULY 28, 2015 12:12PM ON INTERSTATE 91-S AT 65MPH IN THE MIDDLE TRAVEL LANE, I WAS SURROUNDED BY MULTIPLE TRACTOR-TRAILERS. MY DASHBOARD SUDDENLY LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO GET TO SAFETY. THE CAR'S SPEED DROPPED DRAMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING, EVEN WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS. AT LEAST TWO TRACTOR-TRAILERS JUST MISSED HITTING ME. I NARROWLY MANAGED TO GET TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ON FRIDAY, JULY 31, 2015, EXECUTIVE JEEP REASSURED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN ABOUT IT BEING SAFE; THE SERVICE ADVISOR RE-ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2015, JUST 7 DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE FAILED ME, I WAS EN ROUTE TO WORK ON 91-N I WAS TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE LANE SURROUNDED BY MULTIPLE VEHICLES. AGAIN, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES WHILE TRYING TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR'S SPEED DROPPED DRAMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING, EVEN WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN ONE WEEK, THE VEHICLE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER AND I NARROWLY MANAGED TO GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. CHRYSLER INSISTS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS THE THIRD JEEP CHEROKEE IN CONNECTICUT THAT I AM PERSONALLY AWARE OF THAT HAS THE SAME DEFECT; THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I PURCHASED A NEW JEEP TO BE SAFE; MY EXPERIENCE WITH JEEP HAS BEEN FAR FROM THAT. I AM STUCK PAYING OF AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. NARROWLY AVOIDING BEING KILLED TWICE IN THIS VEHICLE IS ENOUGH FOR ME.

I PURCHASED MY CAR ON 10/1/19 WITH 98,000 MILES. A FEW SHORT DAYS LATER MY CAR STARTED DRIVING HORRIBLE. SHAKING,BUCKING, JERKING, HESITATING TO ACCELERATE AND SHIFT AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, SCANNED IT AND WAS SHOWING P0520 OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THAT WAS REPLACED. CAR WAS STILL DRIVING THE SAME AND 3 DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THIS TIME CODE P06DD. BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC WHERE HE HAD IT 3 WEEK. MY OIL PUMP WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW OEM PUMP. THE VERY NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN, THROWING THE SAME CODE P06DD. BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE MY CAR WAS LOW 2 QUARTS OF OIL. WAS TOLD TO BRING IT TO JEEP FOR RECALL AND DIAGNOSIS. JEEP HAS MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS, COMPLETED THE RECALL BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE MY CAR. UPON LEAVING THE JEEP DEALER MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND NOW MY CAR WAS STUCK IN SAFE MODE AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 60MPH. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR TWO WEEKS AND REPLACED MY ENGINE. I PICKED MY CAR UP ON 12/6/19 FROM THE DEALER I PURCHASED FROM, WHO JUST REPLACED MY ENGINE. WITH A NEW ENGINE, THE CAR IS STILL NOT DRIVING RIGHT. IT IS STILL SHAKING,BUCKING, JERKING, HESITATING TO ACCELERATE, HESITATING TO SHIFT OUT OF ALL GEARS. I HAD MY TIRES BALANCED 2 TIMES.ON 1/13/2020 MY CAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WENT INTO SAFE MODE AGAIN. NOT GOING OVER 60MPH. THIS TIME NO ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED FROM, THEY HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER..WHICH SHOWED NO CODES. IT TOOK MY CAR OUT OF SAFE MODE BUT DID NOT FIX ANY OF THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING. TODAY, 1/21/20 MY CAR WENT BACK INTO SAFE MODE WHILE DRIVING. WILL NOT GO OVER 60MPH AND THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOWING THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH 2 KIDS AND I WILL NOT JEOPARDIZE MINE OR THEIR LIVES IN THIS VEHICLE.

THERE IS ALSO JERKING OR SHUDDERING AT VEHICLES WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING OR RESOLUTION ON SPORADIC OCCASIONS.

I STARTED MY CAR WITH PUSH BUTTON IGNITION AND IT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED TO 4000 RPM AND STAYED AT THAT SPEED FOR OVER 20 MINUTES. DURING THAT TIME, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR. WHEN THE ENGINE FINALLY RETURNED TO A NORMAL IDLE SPEED, I COULD SHIFT THE CAR BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE ENGINE. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED...THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING AT IDLE. I CALLED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND AFTER IT SAT FOR AN HOUR OR SO , IT WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN ON TO THE FLATBED TRUCK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER 5 DAYS, THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND THERE WERE NO CODES INDICATING A PROBLEM. THEY DID NOTHING TO FIND OR ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND I'M CONCERNED THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING THE CAR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE COULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY RUNNING CONTINUALLY AT 4OOO RPM FOR OVER 20 MINUTES.. I WOULD ASSUME THAT THIS EVENT WAS CAUSED BY A SOFTWARE PROBLEM, SO I AM CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL REOCCUR. FRNKLY, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

Apr 15, 2015

WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE PARKSENSE FEATURE DISABLED ON ITS OWN. IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH, WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, GLOW PLUGS, SWIRL MOTOR FAILURE (LOW PRESSURE IN RAIL OR FUEL RAIL PRESSURE MALFUNCTION) AND ALSO SPEED SENSORS. THE VEHICLE THEN REVVED UP ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ACCELERATION WHILE MY FOOT WAS POSITIONED FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT, THE WORD "TRANSMISSION" APPEARED ON THE DASH, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THEN THE COLLISION INDICATOR AS IF A CAR CRASH HAD OCCURRED, WHICH IT HAD NOT. FINALLY, THE POWER STEERING BECAME VERY STIFF. DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM AND THEY SAID THE CODES WERE UNKNOWN LIKE HIEROGLYPHICS. LEFT VEHICLE THERE. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THERE WERE 3 SOFTWARE UPGRADES THAT WERE NEEDED ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, THOSE UPGRADES DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. TECHNICIAN ALSO INFORMED ME THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT THEMSELVES AND GOT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY DURING A TEST RUN. THE TECHNICIAN FURTHER EXPLAINED THE VEHICLE HAD 3 TEST RUNS AND FAILED ALL 3 AND IT WAS BEYOND THEIR EXPERTISE SO CHRYSLER ENGINEERS WOULD BE CONSULTED THIS WEEK. LASTLY, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME I "MAY BE AHEAD OF A RECALL ISSUE." THE CAR IS 5 AND HALF MONTHS OLD. I ORDERED THE CAR, MEANING, I HAD IT MADE/BUILT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IT WAS NOT A CAR PURCHASED FROM THE LOT. THEREFORE, NO OTHER DRIVERS OF THE CAR AND IT IS BRAND NEW. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CHEROKEE HAS BEEN OUT OF PRODUCTION FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL THE 2014 RELEASE. AS A SIDE NOTE, I REMEMBER AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED THE WEEK PRIOR WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). INSTEAD IT STALLED AND REVVED ON ITS OWN. *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING, SHIFTING HARD ENOUGH TO LOSE TRACTION, AND SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AT RANDOM. TRANSMISSION IS STILL NOT FIXED NOR FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS ALSO TRIGGERS THE STABILITY CONTROL TO MALFUNCTION AND LOSE CONTROL ON SLIPPERY SURFACES. NOW THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FEATURE IS BROKEN AND NOT FUNCTIONING AS WELL. DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE MORE THAN 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 WEEKS, AND SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR IN THE TWO YEARS BEFORE. THIS VEHICLES TRANSMISSION IS A HUGE SAFETY AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL ISSUE.

Aug 28, 2016

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE TRANSMISSION FALLING OUT OF GEAR AND LOSING ALL POWER. IN ORDER TO GET ANY ACCELERATION I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES. AT THIS POINT I WILL BE UNABLE TO GET ABOVE 5-10 MPH. WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS DURING THESE INSTANCES THE CAR WILL JERK VIOLENTLY AS I SHIFT BETWEEN P R N & D. ON ONE OCCASION THE CAR ACCELERATED IN REVERSE WHEN THE DASH SHOWS THAT I WAS IN D. IN EVERY INSTANCE THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. MULTIPLE TIMES BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS MY CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE PARKING BRAKE, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON. THE ISSUE IS NOT AFFECTED BY SPEED, TURNING, ETC. I CURRENTLY HAVE A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR AND HAVE HAD IT INTO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN VIDEO RECORDS OF THE LATEST INSTANCES AND SHOWN THE SERVICE ADVISORS.

Aug 14, 2016

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 50MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I GOT A SERIES OF MESSAGES: "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" "4WD NOT AVAILABLE".PUT GEAR INTO DRIVE" I WAS ON A RAMP MERGING TO ANOTHER FREEWAY WITH VERY LITTLE ROOM ON THE SIDE I SHIFTED THE CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK, DASH MESSAGE SAID TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK, AND THEN INTO DRIVE. WHEN I SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A VERY LOUD BANG (LIKE SOMEBODY HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE WITH A MALLET) THE ENGINE INDICATOR WAS FLASHING AND THE ERROR MESSAGES WERE COMING UP ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS ISSUE. LAST TIME I HAD TO SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND WAIT ABOUT 30MIN FOR THE COMPUTER TO RESET BEFORE I COULD START IT AND SHIFT INTO GEAR. LAST TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BUT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME.

THE CAR IS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD. HAS A ZF 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND 3.2L 46 24V -VVT ENGINE. I WAS DRIVING ON A TOLLWAY IN MODERATE TRAFFIC AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 60-65 MPH. WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN OR CHANGING SPEED, THE DISPLAY ON THE DASH LISTED "SERVICE TRANSMISSION". ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE WAS LOST AND CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT, P! WERE ALL DISPLAYED. HAD TO FIND A WAY TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP CAR. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED IT. "CHECK TRANSMISSION " WAS DISPLAYED. PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS STARTING IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. COULD GET UP TO 35 MPH WITH THE TACH AT 2000 RPM. WOULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL. GOT HOME AND LET CAR SIT FOR A FEW HOURS. STARTED CAR AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS AND THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" WAS GONE. ALL OTHER WARNING LIGHTS WERE GONE EXCEPT FOR SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. DROVE TO DEALER NEXT DAY AND CAR APPEARED TO SHIFT OK. DEALER LOADED PCM FLASH UPDATE. REPROGRAMMED TCM PER TSB 21-018-14. REPROGRAMMED RF HUB PER 08-077-14. CAR APPEARS TO BE DRIVING OK. DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY TREATED THIS VERY LIGHTLY . I FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND CONTROL AT HIGH SPEED. NO NOTIFICATION OF UPDATES WERE SENT PREVIOUSLY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

3 complaints

Last year in 2024 our vehicle started having significant issues with the transmission. We took it to a dealership and through our warranty that we purchased, we were told that the transmission control module had lost its programming but no one understood why. It wasn't covered under our warranty and we paid full price out of pocket for that. Less than a year later we are back with the same issues again where it's not holding on to its programming. It locks itself into neutral when we are driving, it will have surges of power with the battery, and no longer has any emergency braking system. We cannot put the emergency brake on in fact. We lost all of our 4x4 variations such as snow sport and four wheel drive low. Full drive is no longer able to be engaged at all with the transmission. It will not shift in or out of 5th gear which means every time we push on the gas that means it's going to be starting out in 5th gear which is obviously a strain on the transmission. Due to that it has no towing power whatsoever right now. It has shut off completely in the middle of us driving bfore. These issues are causing it to slowly lose it's communication with all of the other modules in the vehicle and the engine itself is no longer communicating with the transmission which makes driving the vehicle almost impossible.

Water in electronic parking brake module by spare tire corroded wiring causing parking brake to engage needing to replace the entire module and wiring. The issue appears to be that water may be leaking into the electronic parking brake module, causing damage and corrosion.

Dec 27, 2024

1) PARKING BRAKE MODULE - Water Intrusion has caused the parking brake to malfunction, turning itself on and sometimes getting stuck in the on postion. I paid $700 to have it replaced and it went bad again with the same error code...Water Intrusion. Dealer wants to charge me to fix it again eventhough there is a Service Bulletin #08-060-16 out for this issue. 2) Power Liftgate Module - Still waiting on a fix for this from FCA. Last update was 5/23. Now my liftgate is malfunctioning. When I press any of the four ways to open the liftgate it will only go up halfway. I have to push it up the rest of the way. Then when I press it to close it will not close on its own. I have to manually close it. I called 2 dearlerships and they have no solution. One said they couldn't even look at it for 2 weeks. The other said 3 months! This is totally unacceptable!

Vehicle experienced a sudden no-start condition in July 2025 after being parked for ~2 weeks. Engine cranked briefly, then shut off and displayed a red immobilizer warning. OBD-II scans showed BCM memory faults (B22A9), immobilizer lockout (P0513), CAN-C bus communication errors, and repeated low-voltage codes. Dealer replaced PCM (~$1,550) but vehicle still inoperative. Dealer then determined BCM (Body Control Module, part #68141881AJ) failed, but part has been discontinued by Mopar and is unavailable nationwide. Used BCMs are VIN-locked, leaving no authorized repair path. Vehicle is also subject to NHTSA Recall 23V338000 (power liftgate module electrical short / parasitic drain). My vehicle showed repeated low-voltage events consistent with this defect, which likely corrupted the BCM and immobilizer system. Dealer confirmed recall parts are still backordered. As a result, a 2014 Jeep Cherokee with only ~32,000 miles has been rendered permanently inoperable due to discontinued safety-critical electronics. The defect creates a substantial safety risk because electrical shorts can occur while parked or driving, and owners are left without remedy.

I honestly have no idea what system failed but I was doing 80 on the interstate and my car shifted into nuetral . All of the lights came on parking brake , brake and then my car would not drive any longer , luckily I was able to coast onto the shoulder but I literally could have been killed. I had just passed road construction that went from 4 lanes to 2 barracaded lanes. i waited 30 minutes and my car restarted like nothing . So I thought maybe it was a glitch until I was driving again and it did it again. I had to keep putting my car in park and then shifting it back to drive . It has not been inspected yet as i'm trying to get it to the dealership without it cutting off .

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR LOCKED. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, THE BREAKS LOCKED, AND MULTIPLE DIFFERENT MALFUNCTION LIGHTS CAME ON INCLUDING THE ENGINE LIGHT AND MY CAR SAYING TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND NO LIGHTS WERE ON SO I DROVE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. AS I WAS TRYING TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT IN 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN THEN LOCKED UP AGAIN. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION OWNING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A MONTH. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS HAD RANDOM MOMENTS OF ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND WHEN I HAVE REPORTED IT TO JEEP ARLINGTON THEY WOULD SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. SINCE THEN, MY CAR HAS HAD 3 OTHER SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE IT HAS LOCKED UP AND/OR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND HAVING TO GET IT TOWED TO JEEP; ALL REPORTEDLY BY JEEP HAVING TO DO WITH MY TRANSMISSION. ONE OF THOSE TIMES OCCURRED AGAIN ON A BUSY STATE ROAD DURING 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC AND AN OFFICER HAD TO STAY BEHIND ME UNTIL A TOW COMPANY CAME.

THE ATTENDANT ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE BECAUSE OF THE OIL LEAKS. I WAS THEN ASKED IF I HAD HAD ANY MECHANICAL WORK DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND I REPLIED NO SINCE I HADN'T HAD ANY WORK DONE OTHER THAN MAINTENANCE. THE MANAGER THEN TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD BE VERY ANGRY AND TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WERE NOT PUT TOGETHER PROPERLY WHICH IS WHY I HAVE SEVERAL OIL LEAKS.

The Emergency Parking Brake engages on its own, and the car can not move forward. The car engine fails and stalls, the vehicle can not be shifted, and I have a loss of steering control. Dash reads error of parking brake needs service, power steering is out, and check engine light comes on. The car won't restart for approximately 1 hour and then turns over and starts. This problem happens intermittently with no warning. It has happened both when parked and moving. I have had the vehicle in at a Jeep dealership but they were unable to diagnosis. It appears to be part of the same case number

Jul 06, 2023

My Parking break became stuck ON and would not turn off. A warning light came on to service the parking brake. The car would not move. Upon inspection of the EPB module, it was wet, with corrosion, to the point where water can be heard in the module unit. That area of the rear of the car was also wet. My car will not drive and I will be taking it to a Jeep dealership shortly.

UPON FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE OPERATES AS IT IS INTENDED TO FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, UNTIL IDLING ON THE ROADS. THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DROP IN RPMS, AND IF IT GETS FAR ENOUGH, THE VEHICLE STALLS, DIRECTS ME TO SHIFT TO PARK, AND PRESS THE START BUTTON. IN SOME CASES, THE VEHICLE WILL START RIGHT BACK UP, BUT WITH SOME TROUBLE, OR NOT AT ALL. VEHICLE BECOMES A METALLIC VEGETABLE AND STARTS EMITTING A RICH SMELL OF PETROL.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I HEARD A LOUD GUNSHOT NOISE AND GLASS EVERYWHERE. I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED IT WAS MY SUNROOF. THERE WAS NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. BECAUSE THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT MAYBE A ROCK HIT IT. BUT AS I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AND CHECK OUT THE INCIDENT SUNROOF WAS PUSHED UP. MEANING IF THE ROCK CAT HIT IT IT WOULD BE PUSHED IN TOWARDS THE VEHICLE. SINCE IT WAS PUSHED UP BELIEVE ME TO THINK THE ENGINE MAY HAVE MISFIRED OR SOME KIND PRESSURE WAS IN THE VEHICLE THAT NEEDED TO BE RELEASED. MY TRUCK IS NOW IN JEEP BEING INVESTIGATED BUY JEEP TO SEE IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHICH THEY ARE. BUT I KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO TRY AND PUT IT ON MY INSURANCE AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE BIG PROBLEMS.

THE JEEP CHEROKEE HAS A PLASTIC SKID PLATE UNDERNEATH. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN I HIT A PUDDLE OF WATER, PULLING THE FRONT EDGE OF THE SKID PLATE LOOSE. AT THAT POINT, ANYTIME MY SPEED REACHED 45MPH IT WOULD VIBRATE, MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN THE NEXT MORNING. THE TECH SAID HE SEES THIS ALL THE TIME, THE PLATE IS HELD ON WITH PLASTIC BOLTS. THEY REPAIRED IN 30 MIN, NO PAPERWORK. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN FEB2015. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THAT THEY RE-SECURE THE SKID PLATE. I WAS ADVISE IT WAS DONE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN MAR2015, AND I RETURNED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM, ALONG WITH SEVERAL RECALLS. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD PUT METAL SCREWS IN TO REPAIR IT. THE 4TH TIME IT HAPPEND WAS JUNE2015, MILEAGE APPX 7500. THIS TIME WAS MUCH WORSE THAN PRIOR, AS WHEN THE SKID PLATE CAME LOOSE, THE PLASTIC WAS FLIPPED UNDER SO IT WAS DRAGGING THE GROUND AT ALL TIMES (NOT JUST VIBRATING AT INCREASE SPEED).

THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WE WERE ON HWY 116 NEAR PETALUMA, CA AND WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE ROADWAY HAD NO VERGE. IT WAS ONLY BY LUCK THAT WE DID NOT WRECK OR CAUSE A WRECK. OWNER FORUMS INDICATE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS. WHY DOESN'T CHRYSLER MOTORS HAVE TO FIX THIS? WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE SAM GENERAL AREA BUT THERE WAS NO SAFE PLACE FOR US TO PULL OVER AND DISCONNECT THE JEEP. PLEASE HELP US.

JEEP RECALL AS I WAS EXITING OFF THE FREEWAY, I SUDDENLY NOTICED A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PETAL TO ACCELERATE A BIT IN ORDER TO GET TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE. WHEN I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT HAD SHUT DOWN AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE HE VEHICLE HAD ALL SHUT DOWN AS WELL. THE CAR WAS STILL ROLLING BUT IT WAS NO LONGER TURNED ON. I QUICKLY TRIED TO TURN THE KEY TO TRY TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, AND STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GIVE IT GO AHEAD, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND WAS SOMEWHAT OUT OF THE TRAFFICS WAY. SINCE THE , THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN, DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES I AM NOT TOO SURE ABOUT. UNKNOWN. JUST TWO DAYS AGO, I HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP BUT IT WILL NOT BE SERVICED OR ATTENDED TO UNTIL A WEEK FROM NOW. I WORK TWO JOBS WHICH ARE BOTH LOCATED AT LEAST 15 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME AND NOT HAVING A VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK HAS PUT A HUGE BURDEN ON MY WHOLE LIFESTYLE AND DAILY ROUTINE OF OBLIGATIONS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE FINANCIAL BURDEN HAS CREATED NOTHING BUT BITTERNESS TOWARDS THE MANUFACTURE OF MY JEEP. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS NIGHTMARE TO END AND NOT REOCCUR AGAIN BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO STAY CALM AND PATIENT NEXT TIME. IF WE COULD AT LEAST BE PROVIDED WITH A LOANER CAR FOR UNPREDICTED INCIDENCES LIKE THIS THEN MAYBE WE COULD MANAGE AND TOLERATE A BIT MORE. BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE WE STILL HAVE TO PAY OUT MORE MONEY WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE GIVING. THIS IS THE MANUFACTURES RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF ITS CONSUMERS AND TO PUBLIC SAFETY.

THE DEALERSHIP WAS AWFUL AND THE JEEP ROADSIDE ASSURANCE TOOK 6 HOURS TO GET TO ME FOR A TOW, I COMPLAINED TO NO AVAIL. NEXT MY TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING WEIRD. ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING WITHOUT ME GASSING OR BRAKING. TOOK IT IN AND NO ONE TOOK ME SERIOUSLY. DECEMBER 2015 MY CARS TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THANKFUL I COULD PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. GOT IT TOWED TO JEEP THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THERE WAS NO REAL FIX BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE TO FIX IT HASN'T BEEN CREATED YET. SO BASICALLY WE'RE GOING TO PUT A FAULTY PART BACK IN YOUR CAR AND CROSS OUR FINGERS IT WORKS. YESTERDAY 4/11/16 THE EXACT THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY BUT IN THE MID MORNING. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF WITH NO POWER SAFELY BUT WAS IN A BAD SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS RACING PAST ME AND NOT MOVING OVER OR SLOWING DOWN. DEFINITELY A STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE. GOT TOWED AGAIN AND THE MAINTENANCE WERE SO RELAXED ABOUT IT. THEY DIDN'T CARE AT ALL EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS MY SECOND PROBLEM IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY FIXED IT IN ONE DAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRANSMISSION MODULES IN STOCK. ONE CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S BECAUSE MANY OWNERS ARE COMING IN TO GET THEM REPLACED. I'M AM LOOKING INTO LEMON LAWS AND SUGGEST EVERYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM DOES THE SAME.

TOW THE JEEP BEHIND MOTORHOME AND WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 45MPH THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL CAUSING THE ENTIRE MOTORHOME TO SWAY SIDE TO SIDE. HAD TO COMPLETELY COME TO FULL STOP TO CORRECT, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES. CONTACTED JEEP AND FILED COMPLAINT FOR FIX WHICH THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH COST. HAVE A CASE NUMBER ON FILE.

Feb 27, 2017

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, OUR JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEGUN TO "WOBBLE" SEVERELY WHILE BEING FLAT TOWED BEHIND OUR MOTORHOME. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES ON A RECENT 2,000 MILE TRIP. THE "WOBBLE" IS SO SEVERE THAT WE HAVE TO BRING THE MOTORHOME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE CAR BEGINS TO TRACK NORMALLY. WE HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN WHEN WE RAN OVER A PARTICULARLY ROUGH EXPANSION JOINT ON THE INTERSTATE. GOING FROM 65 MPH TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A BUSY INTERSTATE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF IT BEING VERY DANGEROUS IS WHEN THE "WOBBLE", OCCURS WHEN WE ARE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WHERE THERE ARE ROUGH ROADS. COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE ALSO CREATES A SITUATION THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WE PULL THE JEEP BEHIND A 40' 2013 NEWMAR DUTCH STAR. OUR TOW BAR IS A BLUE OX AVAIL 10,000 LB TOW BAR. WE KEEP THE MOTORHOME AND TOW BAR IN GOOD CONDITION AND I DON'T BELIEVE OUR EQUIPMENT IS THE CAUSE OF THE "WOBBLE". WE HAVE CONTACTED JEEP ON TWO OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND THAT THEY HAVE A "FIX" FOR IT. I HAVE TRIED TO PROCURE THE "FIX" FROM JEEP BUT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DO SO. I AM ASKING NHTSA TO FORCE JEEP TO IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE "FIX" FOR THE WOBBLE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY AT NO CHARGE . MY WIFE AND I ARE LEAVING ON TWO TRIPS, ONE THE LAST OF APRIL AND ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY THAT WILL TOTAL NEARLY 10,000 MILES. WE WANT TO GET THE REPAIR COMPLETED PRIOR TO OUR LEAVING DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERNS. JEEP WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS BY THE FAMILY MOTORCOACH ASSOCIATION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM IN THEIR JANUARY 2016 MAGAZINE. I FEEL JEEP HAS HAD AMPLE TIME TO PREPARE AND DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION AND PARTS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE FLAT TOWING THE VEHICLE WITH THE RV AND DRIVING OVER VERY ROUGH TERRAIN AT 25 MPH, THE JEEP WOULD WOBBLE OUT OF CONTROL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE RV. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER IT HAD BEEN TOWED, THE STABILITY CONTROL AND STEERING WARNING LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE, BUT WERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 290,006. UPDATED 01/20/16*LJ *TR

AT LOW SPEED TURNS, LEFT AND RIGHT, IE IN A PARKING LOT OR TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION, POPPING AND GROANING FROM FRONT SUSPENSION/STEERING ASSEMBLY. VERY AUDIBLE AND RATCHETING FEEL CAN BE FELT IN THE FRAME AND STEERING WHEEL. NOT AN ISSUE WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT OR AT SPEED. FIRST TRIP TO DEALER...COULD NOT DUPLICATE. NEXT DAY, AFTER CONTACTING JEEP CONSUMER SERVICE, THE JEEP WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT FOR THE SERVICE CONSULTANT. THE POPPING/GROANING NOISE WAS EVIDENT IN EVERY TURN AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO THE SERVICE AREA FOR SUSPECTED "SUSPENSION" PROBLEM. NEXT DAY CONTACT WITH DEALER...THEY THINK IT IS EITHER THE AXLES OR TRANSMISSION. CALLED JEEP AND THEY CALLED DEALERSHIP. I WAS THEN TOLD BY JEEP THEY WERE REPLACING THE AXLES. SUBSEQUENT MSG FROM SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED THEY WERE CHANGING THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE BUT IT WAS BACK ORDERED. NOW TWO DAYS...NO JEEP, NO TRANSPORTATION, NO LOANER.

ON SUNDAY ON MAY 22, 2016, I DROVE MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE ON INTERSTATE 275 FROM THE MONTGOMERY ROAD EXIT TO THE FIVE-MILE ROAD EXIT. I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE. I USED THE CRUISE CONTROL DURING THIS TRAVEL. I ORIGINALLY SET THE SPEED FOR 70 MILES PER HOUR. AT ONE POINT, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE A CAR PULLED INTO THE LANE IN FRONT OF ME AND THE STEP DOWN OF FEATURE OF THE SPEED CONTROL WORKED AS EXPECTED. WHEN I EXITED FROM I-275 TO FIVE-MILE, I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT WAS UNABLE TO SLOW MY CAR. I CONTINUED TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE CAR'S SPEED WAS NOT BEING REDUCED AND I REALIZED THAT I WOULD BE CROSSING INTO THE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO STOP. SHORTLY BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION, I HONKED THE HORN OF MY CAR. MY CAR CONTINUED ACROSS ALL FOUR LANES OF FIVE-MILE ROAD AND ONTO THE ON-RAMP FROM FIVE MILE TO INTERSTATE 275. THERE IT STOPPED. I DO NOT REMEMBER PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL . THE CAR DID NOT IMPACT OR TOUCH ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER PROPERTY. IT CAME TO A STOP ON THE ONRAMP. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT THEN CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE AND THE BRAKES WORKED. I DROVE MY CAR VERY SLOWLY AND PARKED IT IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE SHOPPING CENTER AT THE INTERSECTION OF FIVE-MILE AND BEECHMONT AVENUE. FROM THERE, I HAD THE CAR TOWED FROM THE PARKING LOT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, KINGS CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP, INC. AT KINGS AUTO MALL. A REPORT REFERENCED BY NTSA ID NO. 10861030 DESCRIBES A SIMILAR INCIDENT INVOLVING THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. SO FAR, THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM DISCERNABLE FROM THE COMPUTER CODES OR FAULT INDICATIONS.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT ANY OTHER VEHICLES OR ROAD OBSTRUCTIONS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH. ONE OF THE TIMES THIS HAPPENED MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH AND THERE WAS A VEHICLE FOLLOWING BEHIND HER AND THEY IN TURN HAD TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES ON TO AVOID HITTING HER. OF COURSE THIS ENRAGED THE DRIVER BEHIND HER THINKING THAT SHE WAS INTENTIONALLY SLAMMING ON HER BRAKES. ANOTHER TIME MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM SLAMMED THE BRAKES ON HARD ENOUGH TO ENGAGE THE ABS SYSTEM. THANK GOD THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS OR SEMI'S BEHIND HER OR SLICK ROADS AS THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. THE TWO OTHER TIMES WERE THE SAME, THE CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATING FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS READY FOR PICK UP ON 11-13-2015. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DEALER I SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HADN'T BEEN LOOKED AT BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ON THE LIST OF REPAIRS, WHEN ACTUALLY THIS IS WHY THE APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE WAS SET. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE VEHICLE AND BRING IT BACK ON 11-23-2015. I REFUSED TAKING THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE. AFTER ARGUING, THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE. WE WERE NOTIFIED AGAIN ON 11-19-2015 THAT THE VEHICLE WAS READY FOR PICK UP, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SYMPTOMS WITH THE CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. ON 11-20-2015 I WENT TO THE DEALER AND AGAIN REFUSED THE PICK UP OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND IS SAFE FOR MY WIFE TO OPERATE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH JEEP MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THIS ORDEAL AND HAVE AN OPEN CASE ON THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.

ON 1/30/15 WHILE CLEARING SNOW OFF MY 2014 CHEROKEE, THE WIPER SNAPPED BACK AND LEFT A MAJOR CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD THAT GOES FROM EDGE TO EDGE, AND ALMOST ALL THE WAY UP AS WELL. THE IMPACT WAS NOT THAT FORCEFUL AT ALL. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING 26 DAYS FOR A REPLACEMENT AS OF TODAY. ON SATURDAY 2/21/15 I SPOKE WITH SOMEBODY AT A CHRYSLER FACTORY IN DETROIT AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE OVER 900 OF THESE PARTICULAR WINDSHIELDS ON BACKORDER AND MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TILL APRIL. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE IF THEY HAVE THAT MANY BACKED UP, THERE MUST BE A FAULT OR DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE OF THIS PARTICULAR WINDSHIELD. IT HAS A BUILT IN WIPER DE-ICER. ONLY THAT ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE, THE WINDSHIELD WITHOUT THAT OPTION IS AVAILABLE. BUT SINCE THIS AN OPTION I PAID EXTRA FOR, I WANT IT BACK. AGAIN, IS THERE ANY WORD ON THIS BEING AN ONGOING ISSUE?

A SHORT TIME AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE, WE STARTED HAVING TROUBLE BREAKING AT ANY SPEED. AS YOU STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, THE RPMS WENT WAY UP AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF STOPPING. IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE YOU HAD TO FIGHT IT TO STOP AND IT MIGHT NOT STOP AT ALL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD IT HAD SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE TRANSMISSION WHICH DID NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. AT THE POINT THAT WE WERE CALLING TO TAKE BACK IN, RECEIVED THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" WARNING AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO DRIVE IT IN AND IT WOULD "GO INTO A SAFE MODE". DROVE SLOWLY WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND AFTER SLOWING DOWN FOR CONSTRUCTION, IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP PAST ABOUT 27 MPH. IT HAD TO BE TO TOWED IN. AFTER A NEW TRANSMISSION, AFTER WAITING ABOUT 2 WEEKS DUE TO 15 LOCAL DEALERSHIPS WAITING FOR TRANSMISSIONS, WE WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT IT WAS NOT READY AND DOING THE SAME THING. HE SAID THERE WAS ANOTHER SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH NO ESTIMATED RELEASE DATE. THERE HAS BEEN AN UPDATE FOR THE 2015 MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS SINCE BUT NOTHING FOR THE 2014 MODELS STILL. WE HAVE NOT HAD OUR CAR SINCE SEPTEMBER SINCE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS BEING BOUGHT BACK AFTER MUCH PAIN AND ALL THE DECISIONS BEING MADE BY THE CHRYSLER AREA REPRESENTATIVE, SEAN WERTH, WHO ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP SALES MANAGER SAID THAT OUR CAR WAS AS FIXED AS IT WAS GOING TO BE. *JS

This is a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, this model DOES have a recall for water leaking in through the truck. That causes the electronic parking break module to short out and lock the parking brake in as engaged. My jeeps vin however is not a part of the recall for some reason, this part was replaced on 4/16/22. Today 3/9/2023 the parking brake engaged and was locked on when we put the car in park. The spare tire compartment is FULL of water, everything in the trunk was wet. And the piece from the service advisor that was replace in 2022 has water in it, and it is corroded.

THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON MULTIPLE TIMES (FIRST DAY 10/4/2019 DRIVING LOCALLY), REGARDING SERVICING THE TRANSMISSION, BRAKE AND AIRBAG AFTER STARTING AND IN A NON-MOVING MODE. ON THE SECOND DAY OF OWNERSHIP 10/5/2019, I TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CHECK ON THE WARNING LIGHT. THE TECH ADVISOR GAVE ME A PRINT OUT OF ALL THE ERROR CODES SHOWING (QUITE A FEW). ON THE SIXTH DAY 10-10-2019, I ONLY HAD DRIVEN IT LOCALLY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF THE DRIVE GEAR WHEN I WAS AT A STOP SIGN. THE DRIVE TRANSMISSION WASN'T ENGAGING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT IT IN 'PARK' AND THEN BACK INTO 'DRIVE', AND IT THEN WENT FORWARD. I DROVE HOME, AND I PARKED THE JEEP IN MY YARD. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT AGAIN WITH A REAL CONCERN THAT THE JEEP WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE AND NOT WANTING TO GET STRANDED ALONG A ROAD SOMEWHERE. IN 11/2019, I NEXT DROVE THE JEEP IN MY ATTEMPT TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTICS DONE TO FIND OUT THE EXACT ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION DID THE SAME THING AND SLIPPED OUT OF 'DRIVE' IN BUSY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN ROUTE ON A 5 LANE HIGHWAY AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AFTER STOPPING AND GIVING GAS TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS TIME IT TOOK FOUR ATTEMPTS (PLACING IN PARK AND THEN DRIVE) BEFORE THE JEEP WOULD DRIVE FORWARD. I MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A PRAYER FIVE MINUTES FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS (12/18-2019) WAS THAT THE JEEP NEEDS A TRANSMISSION/ENGINE WIRING HARNESS. 'THERE IS A BRAKE IN THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE CIRCUIT FOR COMMUNICATION AND DEPENDING ON HOW THE ENGINE FLEX'S, THE COMMUNICATION LINE DROPS OUT AND CAUSES THE TCM TO GO OFFLINE'. ON 4/12/2020, I TOOK PHOTOS OF THE CODE FLASHING (SEE ATTACHED IMAGES). IT WOULDN'T START. ONE WEEK LATER, IT STARTED AND I DROVE IT IN MY YARD TO PARK IT FARTHER OUT OF MY MAIN DRIVEWAY. THERE IT HAS SAT FOR A FEW MONTHS.

The vehicle turns off while running, all lights on dashboard turn OFF and the vehicle dies completely. I lose power steering, brakes everything just turns off. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop I can put in parking again and the vehicle turns back on. This has happened 3 times already, luckily I have been driving it where there is no a lot of traffic, but no longer drive it on the highway it would not be safe. It happened after the light SVC 4WD turned on.

Transmission shifted from D to N by its self as I was driving. Luckily hadn’t gotten on the highway yet. A minute later I would have been in the highway when it did it. It said “shift to p” the. It said to service transmission and a number of other things then would not shift after I FINALLY got it to engage. This is the second or third time this has happened! When going around a bend on a highway doing highway speed if I hit a bump I get a very bad vibration in the steering wheel and it makes the car swerve to the point of possibly wrecking. Have taken it to dealership (Jeff Wyler Batavia OH) for the same issue numerous times and they say they can’t find anything every time but there is clearly something wrong with it! I used to stand behind Jeep. I no longer can. Within a year of me owning it I’ve replaced Oil cooler gasket, timing gasket, rear diff gasket, and rear axle seal. It had only 80k miles when I had to replace all of this! Now to see what the hell is going on with it now! DO NOT BUY A MOPAR VEHICLE! I HIGHLY SUGGEST HONDA, HYUNDAI, or TOYOTA!

THE SHIMMY HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP AND SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 3RD GEAR. TYPICALLY I FEEL IT IN THE GAS PEDAL AND THE STEERING WHEEL, HOWEVER IT VARIES IN INTENSITY FROM STOP TO STOP. SOMETIMES IT IS GONE AND SOMETIMES IT IS ENOUGH TO SHAKE THE WHOLE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP 3 TIMES NOW AND EACH TIME WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL WAS NOT EVEN ADDRESSED. *TR

Electronic park brake engaged without prompting. Dash indicator lights for Park Brake & Transmission Service along with 'D' for Drive on dash flashing. Could not move car due to park brake engaged. Took several restarts to disengage it. Happened twice with no dash warnings between incidents. Park brake engaging while driving is dangerous and I don't feel safe in this vehicle as I have had a prior issue with losing acceleration on the freeway leading to a scary event.

THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THESE PROBLEMS ARE THE WORST BETWEEN GOING FROM 3RD TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST GEARS. THE JEEP ACCELERATES WHILE SLOWING DOWN WHEN AMPLE PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT ACTING TIMELY AND THE VEHICLE STILL ACCELERATING DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO CHRYSLER TWO TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CAN'T 'DUPLICATE' THE PROBLEM. WAS INFORMED 'THE TRANSMISSION IS A LEARNING TRANSMISSION AND WILL ADJUST TO THE DRIVER AND TO WAIT UNTIL FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 3000 MILES TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM PERSIST". THE PROBLEM IS STILL VERY PRESENT AND EVEN WORSENING. NOW, WITH ONLY 1800 MILES ON VEHICLE THE TURN SIGNALS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL STICKS, STAYS ON OR RANDOMLY TURNS ON. WHILE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. WHILE DRIVING MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE (NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS OLD) HAVING TO USE HAND SIGNALS TO COMMUNICATE WHEN TURNING LEFT. FURTHERMORE CONSTANTLY TURN RIGHT BLINKER OFF. LESS THEN TWO MONTHS OLD THE VEHICLE WILL NOW GO IN FOR IT'S THIRD REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE!! *TR

STEERING,POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

2 complaints

The vehicle speed accelerates on its own when trying to come to a complete stop which almost caused me to rear end another car at a traffics light, the powertrain is completely off and creates an unsafe riding experience which impacts the steering and control of the vehicle, stalls randomly. There is rough shifting with the transmission, which jerks the car periodically. When driving at a speed above 60 entire vehicle shimmer and shakes uncontrollably, feels like the tires are getting ready to detach from the vehicle when driving at higher speeds and mostly when trying to come to a complete stop.

May 26, 2022

WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR WOULD NOT THEN SHIFT TO ANY GEAR. AFTER CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE CAR WOULD JUMP FROM PARK TO DRIVE. LITERALLY JUMP. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME (A FEW BLOCKS) WITH MY HAZARDS ON PRAYING ALL THE WAY. I CALLED HUNTINGTON BEACH JEEP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. THEY TOWED THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE FIXED. I TRIED TO UPGRADE OUT OF THE SHOTTY CHEROKEE TO A GRAND CHEROKEE FOR SAFETY REASONS BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT FORGIVE THE NEGATIVE EQUITY IN THE CAR AS WE'VE HAD IT FOR A YEAR. HE INSISTED WE PUT MORE MONEY DOWN AND HAVE A CAR PAYMENT OF $600-700 DOLLARS. WE REFUSED. WE FEEL JEEP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY BUT ONLY THE NUMBER OF CARS THEY SELL EACH MONTH WHICH IS A SAME. THANK GOD WE DIDN'T HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT AS THEY MY FAMILY WOULD BE PLANNING A FUNERAL. MAYBE THAT IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE.

our mileage/odometer is flashing and states TSB. The TCM has been reprogrammed 3-4 times and still malfunctioning. Electrical issues through out cause stereo to not turn on sometimes and the all the sudden turn on its own. We have made complaints to the jeep and they said the recall have already been done they wont help us and then close our case with out any solutions. We have already spent 2000 or more fixing issues that don't help the problem. We completely replaced the shifter and the whole assembly that goes with it. We have had a quick learn done to the transmission. We still had codes popping for the TCM prior to the shifter going out. We have had codes come up for the drive train and where told that recall was already done and we still have issues. We are at a loss here and dont know what else to do. We have only got this car a little over a year ago and have reported problems since day one.

PARKING BRAKE,POWER TRAIN

2 complaints

Much like other recalls for PTU's on similar models in the same year, mine is having problems with the power transfer unit (PTU) rumbling from the rear while decelerating and applying the electric brake automatically. I feel the manufacturer made a band aid change to the programming by applying the electric brake rather than being forced to replace the faulty PTU in a safety recall. Ultimately this puts my safety at risk and leaves me financially responsible for a faulty PTU. This problem is described in the website below, which led me to this form: https://www.mrblaw.com/blog/2020/06/jeep-recalls-cherokees-for-dangerous-fault-in-power-transfer-unit/

I TRAVEL AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE IN A VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL IN DEBT A VERY LARGE SUM OF MONEY ON. I TOOK DELIVERY OF MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK, 4X4 ON MAY 28, 2014. THE FIRST ISSUE OCCURRED ON JULY 31, 2014 WHEN THE VEHICLE FELT AS THOUGH THE ENGINE DROPPED OUT INTO THE STREET OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD, DISABLING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY; IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE, NOR WOULD IT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO GET ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. (THE TRANSMISSION AND EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEMS FAILED) TO MAKE AN INCREDIBLY LONG STORY SHORT...I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME EVENT AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS CONTINUOUSLY OVER A 14 MONTH PERIOD IN REGARD TO FAILURE OF MY EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM AS WELL AS MY TRANSMISSION TO INCLUDE: JERKING SO MUCH THAT MY PURSE FLIES FROM SEAT ONTO FLOORBOARD, JERKING THAT CAUSES MY DAUGHTER TO LUNGE FORWARD INTO THE BACK OF THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT, A STALLED VEHICLE ON BUSY HIGHWAYS AND STREETS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, SUDDEN ENGAGEMENT OF EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH THE INABILITY TO RELEASE THE BRAKE WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS; I COULD GO ON AND ON. AFTER A TOTAL OF 20+ TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIPS FOR REPAIRS (8-10 OF THESE OF WHICH WERE VIA TOW TRUCK), (3) NEW TRANSMISSIONS, SEVERAL REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM...MY VEHICLE IS STILL CURRENTLY OUT OF COMMISSION AND NOT IN MY POSSESSION. I RECEIVED A CALL ON TUES. OF THIS WEEK FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM ME THAT A RESOLUTION WAS MADE; YET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION WOULD BE INSTALLED IN MY DEATH TRAP OF A VEHICLE. (THIS MAKES #4) TO SAY THAT THIS IS CLEARLY THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. SOMETHING DRASTIC NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED.

WHEN CRUISING DOWN A HILL WITHOUT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, SUV WILL SHIFT GEARS MANY DIFFERENT TIMES CAUSING THE JEEP TO LURCH FORWARD QUICKLY WITHOUT WARNING.

I PERFORMED A VIN AUDIT, AND SOME OF THE VISITS TO THE MULTIPLE DEALERS DON'T REFLECT THE ACTUAL SERVICE, BUT I HAVE MY DOCUMENTS.

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASING IT ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. I'VE HAD TO BE INCONVENIENTLY PLACED IN A RENTAL A COUPLE TIMES AND PAY A DEPOSIT OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT WASN'T EVEN MY FAULT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER DAYS AFTER PURCHASING IT TO EXPRESS MY DISSATISFACTION, THEY WERE VERY UNHELPFUL. ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING IT IS WHEN I STARTED NEEDING TO GET THE VEHICLE SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS LATEST RECALL, I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE DEALER AND THE "EARLIEST" APPOINTMENT ISN'T UNTIL NOVEMBER. I CALLED NHTSA CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY TO SEE IF THEY COULD "SPEED UP THE PROCESS" BUT THEY TOO WERE VERY UNHELPFUL. THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH EXPRESSED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THIS RECALL WERE ALL SOLD OUT AND SHE WASN'T SURE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE COMING IN. NOW, I AM STUCK IN AN UNSAFE, FAULTY VEHICLE UNTIL IT CAN GET SERVICED TO THIS RECALL. IN THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IT STATES IN BOLD, "THE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN THE CONDITION THAT IT'S IN AND THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IS LIFE THREATENING. WHAT EXACTLY AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW? I USE THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PASSENGER IN IT. I'VE CONTACTED NHTSA BEFORE AND SUBMITTED DOCUMENTATION OF ALL THE SERVICES THE VEHICLE HAS HAD, AND NOTHING WAS RESOLVED ON MY BEHALF. I'M SURPRISED LEGAL ACTION HASN'T BEEN PRESENTED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR THESE RECALLS AND POOR QUALITY VEHICLES.

MY JEEP WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON A STATE ROAD WHEN IT LOST POWER AND HAD TO BE STEARED/COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD WE BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH. THE DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND READY TO RELEASE IT TO ME TODAY 3/29/16 TO CONTINUE DRIVING AS A SAFE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD ELECTRONICS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 8800 MILES, THE WIPER BLADES FAIL, STALL, OR GO OFF THE SIDE FRAME OFF THE WINDSHIELD DURING USE CAUSING HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND REDUCED VISIBILITY, , THE KEY REMOTE FAILS (NOT DUE TO DEAD BATTERY) , THE BLUETOOTH RELIABILITY IS INTERMITTENT WHICH NULLS THE HANDS-FREE OPTION FOR PHONE USE WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT AND REAR DEFROST DID NOT WORK CAUSING REDUCED VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING IN EARLY MORNING HOURS AND WAS REPAIRED OR REPLACED AT 8800 MILES, A ROTATIONAL SQUEAL WAS REPORTED AT 8800 MILES AND DEALER CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. 5 MONTHS LATER, THE NOISE CONTINUED. AFTER I WROTE THEM DIRECTIONS AND SAT WITH THEM, THEY REPLACED A FAULTY WATER PUMP ON 4/21/15. THE HEAT DEFLECTOR SHIELD AND THE RESONATOR WAS REPLACED ON 5/21. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AFTER THE RECENT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN AND RISK THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY OR OTHERS.

PURCHASED A 2014 CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK WITH 0 MILES ON OCT 25. AT 200 MILES, AND 48 HOURS LATER I TOOK IT ONTO THE BEACH. AS SOON AS IT GOT INTO THE SAND, IT DROPPED TO 2ND GEAR AND RPMS SHOT UP TO JUST OVER 3000. CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND. TEMP WENT UP TO 230. LATER ON ALL COMPUTERS IN CAR STARTED TO FLASH LIKE WHITE NOISE. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS GIVEN A VARIETY OF EXCUSES. BAD ABS SENSOR, LOOSE FUSE ETC. WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP FROM THE DEALER AFTER HOURS WHEN THEY WERE CLOSED. AS SOON AS I TURNED IT ON, FLASHING WHITE NOISE ON ALL THE SCREENS.I ALSO TOOK IT ON THE BEACH A DAY OR TWO LATER, AND AGAIN CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR ON THE BEACH. THE CAR NOW BEGAN TO SHIFT VERY ERRATICALLY. IT WOULD UP SHIFT VERY FAST ACCELERATE WHEN MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS. WHEN COMING TO A STOP IT WOULD DOWN SHIFT SO HARD. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, (NOW WITH 700 MILES ON IT) THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS TOTAL. FINALLY PICKED UP THE CAR LAST WEEK.WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR THE ODOMETER READY 6000 MILES! I DROPPED IT OFF WITH 700.I TOLD HIM FOR THE 3RD TIME THAT I DID NOT WANT IT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN DEALING WITH A JEEP RESOLUTION TEAM FROM CHRYSLER.ITS BEEN A WEEK, THE CAR IS SHIFTING MORE ERRATIC THAN IT HAS SINCE THE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE SUNROOF LEAKS WATER, THE WINDSHIELD IS CONSTANTLY FOGGED AND LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A CLEAR COAT THAT MAY HAVE GOTTEN ON THE CAR THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. ALSO, WHEN I TURN THE FLOOR HEAT ON, THE FRONT DEFROSTER COMES ON.CHRYSLER CONTACTED ME ON FRIDAY, AND MY JEEP HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN DEEMED A LEMON, AND I AM ENTITLED TO A REPLACEMENT.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, WITH 4,658 MILES ON IT AND WITHIN THE FIRST DAY, WE NOTICED THE EXTREMELY ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND 4TH GEARS. AFTER SEVERAL PCM REPROGRAMS AND A NEW TRANSMISSION, IT IS STILL DOING THE ROUGH SHIFTING AND CONTINUES TO WORSEN. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE ACCELERATOR IS INCONSISTENT, SLUGGISHLY MOVING FORWARD ON ONE OCCASION AND LUNGING FORWARD AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS MASHED TO THE FLOOR ON THE NEXT. SAME CAN BE SAID FOR BRAKING; ROUGH DOWN SHIFTING AND OFTEN TIMES FEELING AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE AS IF THE GAS PEDAL IS STILL PRESSED EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE IS BEING APPLIED. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT, I STARTED THE VEHICLE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SHIFTED IT TO DRIVE, THEN BEGAN TO RELEASE THE PRESSURE FROM THE BRAKE TO INCH FORWARD, WHEN IT SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD NEARLY STRIKING MY PARENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE NOW SEEMS TO BE DRIVING ITSELF. WHEN ENTERING MY NEIGHBORHOOD DOING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH, UPON LETTING UP ON THE GAS COMPLETELY, THE VEHICLE MAINTAINS THE RPMS AND SPEED ON A FLAT SURFACE AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON. WE HAVE FILED FOR THE MD LEMON LAW WITH CHRYSLER, BUT AFTER A TEST DRIVE WITH ONE OF THE THEIR REPS WHERE THE CAR WAS NOT AS VIOLENT IN THE SHIFTING BUT STILL QUITE ROUGH, THE REP DECLARED THE VEHICLE AS 'PERFORMING AS DESIGNED' AND ITS THE ADAPTIVE LEARNING OF THE VEHICLE AND CLOSED THE CASE.THIS VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE AND INCONSISTENT, AND QUITE FRANKLY, UNSAFE AND NERVE RACKING TO DRIVE. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE NOR RIDE IN IT ANY LONGER FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT, NOR WILL SHE ALLOW OUR SON TO RIDE IN IT. IN MY 28 YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER OWNED NOR DRIVEN A VEHICLE THAT ACTUALLY MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE IN.

IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC UP TO 15-20 MPH AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL NOT SHIFT NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ACCELERATE THEN IT RELEASES SUDDENLY. ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE HIGHER GEARS IT SEEMS TO SLIP ONLY OCCASIONALLY. THE REAR SEAT BELTS ALSO HAVE CONSISTENTLY "LOCKED UP" REMOVING ALL SLACK UNTIL YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE VEHICLE, TURN IT OFF, UNBUCKLE THE BELT LET IT ALL THE WAY BACK IN AND THEN REATTACH IT. YESTERDAY 4/28/14 IT DID THIS AGAIN TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER, WHEN WE FOUND A PLACE TO PULL OVER IT WOULD NOT LET US UNBUCKLE THE LAP PIECE OR GIVE HER ANY SLACK IN THE SHOULDER STRAP TO GET OUT OF IT, I WAS FORCED TO PULL INTO A RECYCLING CENTER AND BORROWED A KNIFE FROM ONE OF THE WORKERS TO "CUT" THE BELT IN HALF SO IT WOULD RELEASE HER. BOTH REAR SEAT BELTS DO THIS ON EVEN ROADS WITH NO SORT OF INCLINE OR BUMPS! I WILL BE CARRYING A POCKET KNIFE FROM NOW ON, WHAT IF WE WERE IN A ACCIDENT OR NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY??!!

THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN AS FREQUENTLY BUT DOES STILL OCCUR. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND SINCE YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING IT, CAN PUT YOU IN PANIC MODE WHILE DRIVING AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID A FEELING OF BEING OUT OF CONTROL AND COLLIDING INTO THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF YOU.

My parking gage engaged several times while parked I saw that it said the parking breaking was engaged but I had not put it on. Next it engaged when stopped for a traffic light. I was able to restart it several times. Noticed that this was most likely to happen after a rainfall. Last time it happened my son was able to trick it into disengaging and get it home. Next day it had to be flatbed towed to my mechanic. He changed the parking break switch and that burned out again. After careful investigation he found over two gallons of water under the spare tire where the parking break module is housed. It had to be replaced as well as both calipers. The module also had to be reprogrammed. It was at there 22 days. The mechanic bill was nearly $1,800. Now I need extensive body work to perhaps stop the water coming in thru the seams underneath the power-lift door which had opened. In checking previous complaints it seems that This should have been a recall long ago as it has happened to other similar jeeps.

1 complaint

As of this date: Started about a year ago, when Jeep was over 150,000 miles. When accelerating to turn or from a stop sign or light, vehicle would stall, mimicking the feeling the vehicle ran out of gas. This occurred about once a month. Working at home and not driving my vehicle as much its hard to say if it would have occurred more often. Checked for any codes, none appeared. As I have recently started driving back in the office 3 days a week, the issue of stalling at any given time with no warning began occurring more often. Took it to trusted local service shop, they changed the purge valve pump and gas cap, as they were puzzled on the problem. Did not seem to matter if gas was full, half or under half. The issue occurred twice within 2 weeks. Service shop recommended taking to dealership. Jeep dealership are not aware of any similar issues. Which I found interesting as I researched and found massive posts from various jeep forums as well as this one. They capped off hose to charcoal canister, hoping that would help. And told me its a process of elimination at this point. The next evening it stalled again. I have now parked my vehicle as this has become a safety hazard. Stalling anywhere at any given moment could cause a tragic accident. will be contacting dealership to voice my concern. Hoping for a positive resolution.

STEERING,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES

1 complaint

The service parking brake warning pops up on start up (P)!, along with the engine light and the traction control light. A warning that says service parking brake appears, around with a service transmission warning, and occasionally another message saying 4wd unavailable at the moment. Another message says restart car in park at zero speed, which the car is already in park & not moving. The car is not drivable when all of these are on. If I attempt to change gears, the gear light flashes & when the car shifts gears it is very loud. It is also hard to turn the wheel. The emergency park has also come on, in it's own, while driving. Almost killed me on the highway. Had also done it in my driveway, when starting to pull out. Also when the engine auto shifts, it makes like a whining noise. The engine sounds to go in overdrive whenever going down hills or up hills. Down is worse though. This has been doing this since I got the car in 2021. I expressed these issues to the place I bought the car from, just days after buying it, and they refused to fix anything even though it was under the 30 day warranty. They claimed no issues. I have proof of mentioning these issues, to the person who sold me the car through the dealership.

Without any notice my drivers side seatbelt won't retract. Not even a little. It is completely useless. When I looked online I saw that so many people were having this issue that there was possibly going to be a recall/repair. I tried several times to get it to retract even a little but it won't at all.

When gas pedal is pressed starting from a stop, the jeep doesn’t move right away, then jerks forward. Also, when driving, it sounds like the automatic gear is not shifting up, sounds like the jeep is “reving up”. Another thing happening, is as I start moving, I hear a clunk sound, towards the rear of the jeep, like something might fall off

My 2014 Jeep has been experiencing intermittent shut downs, the dash goes dead at random times for a few seconds and then comes back on the issue continues. This issue started in December 2021 during that time I was driving at night and the dash, exterior lights and interior lights started flickering. Now this issue occurs 90% of the time when I drive, sometimes when the dash goes off different warning lights come on, TCS, SRS, Power steering and if the vehicle is traveling below 5mph it sometimes dies completely. Battery was replaced 1 year ago. The middle screen on the dash gets super dim and it appears to still be on if you look closely at night but the dials are frozen at the current speed and rpm. My mechanic tested the battery connection and there is nothing loose that would cause this.

This 7 year old car has an electronic parking break which automatically turns itself on and cannot be disengaged without towing the car to the dealer. This is because this 7 year old car has a common internal leak that soaks the left wall in the trunk and the spare tire component. The left wall of the trunk is where the ECU (computer) that controls the parking break lives and it is water damaged. I'm not sure if this is the best place to report this. If there is a better place please let me know? Is it legal to sell a car that becomes non functional and moldy from hidden water damage after only 7 years, then charge to fix it? This problem is common and I think it needs to be a recall. We live on an island and this will cost over $1500 to fix? There is no way to manually disengage the parking break. Is it safe to have a water damaged computer automatically engaging your parking break? Do these electronic parking breaks count as having an emergency break for the purposes of stopping a car on an icy hill when the breaks fail or to take a road test for the safety of the instructor? Is it legal in Massachusetts that to replace this ECU requires a diagnostic scan tool to align the PROXI configuration data which most small local mechanics do not have?

Myself - along with THOUSANDS are having the dreaded P0520 Code come on!!! There is a TSB (HAS BEEN ONE FOR 7 YEARS) for this problem! Yet, since it seems to fail right out of warranty - THOUSANDS are being affected. Previously-The 2014 Jeep Compass SUV is among the 522 vehicles recalled by Chrysler alongside the 2014 Jeep Patriot SUV, 2013 Dodge Avenger, and Chrysler 200, all of which are equipped with 2.4-liter engines that are touted to have engine oil pressure loss issues that may lead to sudden engine stall or failure BECAUSE OF THIS SAME OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ISSUE "! Yet No RECALL on 2014 models when the issue is so widely well known!? Problems --Large oil leak, could have gone on fire or seized the engine. Turns out the oil filter housing assemble was cracked which seems quite common in this make, mode and year. The oil filter housing is cracked and it is a known issue with my vehicle. One morning there was a large amount of oil under my vehicle. At this time there are so many open issues with this defected part that I am unable to get this part cause there are 5800 people in line before me waiting for this part. I am unsure where to start to have this recalled but I would like to move in the direction of having that done. Please help! I read online that there was a possible petition started for this very issue. IT ALL BEGINS WITH THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT (http://www.sequentialtaillights.com/dodge/SB_PDF/TSB_LC_0803414a.pdf) Please recall this issue! Make JEEP REPLACE THESE IMMEDIATELY AT THEIR COST! Next -- TAKE A LOOK AT HOW MANY JEEPS OF THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL have loud ticking coming on! My Jeep has developed the 3. 6l penastar tick. I noticed fca extended the warranties for vehicles equipped with the 3. 6l penastar v6 but for my model they stopped in 2013. How can I get my year added to that warranty since it developed the same problems as the previous years??? ALSO - Front wheel issues constantly! Replacements!

STARTING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AND STATE TO 'SHIFT GEAR INTO PARK' THE GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ON ALL LETTERS LIGHT UP RED AND THE CAR TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO START BACK UP. TODAY IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN A ROW WHILE IN THE CAR WITH MY DAUGHTER AND IT HAS ME PETRIFIED. WE WENT UP THE HILL BY OUR HOME AND IT HAPPENS AND THE CAR STARTED GOING BACKWARDS.

ALMOST DIED LAST WEEK!! WE PURCHASED THE JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK NEW IN 2014 WITH THE FULL INTENT OF TOWING IT 4 WHEELS DOWN BEHIND OUR MOTOR HOME. THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR TOWING IS VERY CLEAR AND WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS AS PROVIDED AND AS INSTRUCTED BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. LAST THURSDAY NIGHT (MAY 30TH 2019) ON HWY 24 IN KENTUCKY WE HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AND THE JEEP WENT INTO A DEATH WOBBLE THAT BROUGHT THE ENTIRE RV COACH FROM 65 MPH TO A DEAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY IN THE DARK OF NIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC!!! BY GOD'S GRACE ONLY ARE WE NOT DEAD!! NO DRIVER EXPECTS AN RV TO BE PARKED ON THE HIGHWAY (EMERGENCY FLASHERS OR NOT). WE HAVE BEEN SCARED BEFORE WITH THIS AT A LOWER SPEED OF 30 TO 40 MPH, BUT NEVER AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED! WE ARE TERRIFIED TO TOW THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS CLEARLY SOLD AS TOW-ABLE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS, I FIND OUT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP 2014 / 2015 MODELS AND THAT A ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS IS NOW REQUIRED TO TOW THE VEHICLE SAFELY - HOWEVER - JEEP WANTS TO CHARGE YOU FOR THIS PART AND INSTALL!!! THIS IS PURE EVIL ON JEEPS PART. THEY KNOW OF THE ISSUE AND ARE PUSHING THE REPAIR OFF ON THE OWNER, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS CLEARLY ADVERTISED AND SOLD AS TOW-ABLE WITH NO NEED FOR ANY ADAPTATIONS. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE IN GETTING THESE VEHICLES REPAIRED. I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY JEEP THAT MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. THEY HAVE MADE NO EFFORT IN RECTIFYING THIS DEADLY SITUATION OR EVEN LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT A POTENTIAL SOLUTION. I HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE WOBBLE INDEPENDENTLY BY CHANGING TIRES, BALANCING ETC, ONLY TO LEARN THROUGH GOOGLE THAT THE JEEP IS FAULTY IN AND OF ITSELF, THAT THE STEERING IS NOT POWERED CORRECTLY TO KEEP THE JEEP FROM GOING INTO A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT THE BURDEN OF THE OWNER.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. IN THE TWO YEARS SINCE I'VE OWNED MY CAR, I'VE EXPERIENCED 30+ INSTANCES IN WHICH MY CAR STOPS WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION. IT'S HAPPENED WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, AND JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER TYPE OF ROAD POSSIBLE. IT USUALLY OCCURS AFTER I MAKE A TURN OR COME TO A HARD STOP. THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY, AND COMPLETELY RANDOMLY, COME TO A STOP. THE WHEEL WILL NO LONGER WORK, NOR WILL THE ENGINE. IT COMES WITH NO WARNING. I WILL THEN HAVE TO TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET IT IN MOTION AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THE ONLY SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, THOUGH I AM NOT QUITE DUE FOR ONE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I'VE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AMONGST JEEP OWNERS AND THE CAR IS EATING THROUGH AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF OIL. JEEP IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. THE JEEP DEALERS I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO DON'T GIVE ANY ALTERNATIVES TO FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS.

THE CONTROLS TO THE LIFT GATE DO NOT ALWAYS WORK WHEN PRESSED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID IT WAS A SENSOR AND VALVE BUT THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND ONLY CHANGED THE OIL WHICH WAS NOT NEEDED AND SHUT THE LIGHT OFF ONLY FOR IT TO COME BACK ON ONE DAY AFTER I HAD TO DEMAND THEY FIX MY CAR OR GIVE IT BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST HOLDING IT ON THE LOT, THE SUSPENSION AND SHOCKS ARE OFF THEY KEEP WEARING MY TIRES AND THE BUTTON FOR THE SHIFT GEAR FELL OFF WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR WHICH IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT

ACCORDING TO OWNERS MANUAL AND JEEP, THIS VEHICLE IS DESIGNED AND CAPABLE OF BEING FLAT TOWED BEHIND AN RV. THERE WAS A SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENT FROM JEEP ADVISING IF YOU EXPERIENCE A WOBBLE WHEN TOWING YOU NEED KIT 683214AB. THIS NEEDS TO BE MANDATORY AS IT HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH AFTER TOWING THOUSANDS OF MILES, THE JEEP WILL START VIOLENTLY WOBBLING WHEN DRIVING REQUIRING THE RV TO FULLY STOP IN ORDER TO RECOVER. ON THE TWO OCCASIONS, THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE FIRST ISSUE THE CAR WAS SWINGING SO MUCH IT DAMAGED THE REAR PASSENGER CAR TIRE RIM BY HITTING THE CURB. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO BIKERS OR PEDESTRIAN AT THE TIME. THE RV WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 25 MPH ON FLAT STREET ROADS. THE FIRST TIME WE TURNED A HARD RIGHT AND WAS +200 FROM THE TURN. THE SECOND TIME WE TURNED LEFT AND ABOUT +200 FROM THE TURN. THE JEEP IS CONFIGURED WITH SUPPLEMENTAL BRAKING, LIGHTS, TOW BAR, AND BREAK AWAY KIT. WE TOW IT WITH A 40' DIESEL PUSHER RV ABOUT 34K LBS. MY REQUEST IS TO HAVE JEEP MAKE THIS FIX MANDATORY INSTEAD OF ELECTIVE.

AFTER FILLING MY TANK WITH GAS I TURNED ONTO A NEARBY ROADWAY AND FELT MY CAR SPUTTERING AND JERKING. AS I CAME TO A SLOW STOP AT A STOP LIGHT MY CAR ABRUPTLY SLAMMED TO A STOP AND MADE A LOUD BANG/SLAMMING NOISE AND PROMPTED ME TO SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. I FOLLOWED THESE COMMANDS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. AS SOON AS I WOULD SHIFT OUT OF PARK THE LOUD SLAMMING WOULD OCCUR AGAIN AND I BEGAN TO SMELL FUMES SO I STOPPED TRYING TO FOLLOW THE PROMPTS. I PUT MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHED MY CAR OUT OF THE MOVING TRAFFIC LANES AND GOT IT TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND GAVE IT BACK. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE 3 TIMES SINCE. THEY REPLACED AN EVAPORATION PRESSURE SWITCH THE SECOND TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN AND THIS STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. THE LAST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED I WAS SLOWING DOWN ON A HIGHWAY IN DENSE TRAFFIC AND AS TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING AGAIN MY GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS I ONLY HEARD LOUD REVVING NOISES AS MY CAR COASTED.. WHEN I WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKES AND PULL OFF THE ROAD I IMMEDIATELY HEARD THE LOUD SLAMMING NOISE AND MY CAR BROKE DOWN AGAIN IN A VERY UNSAFE LOCATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAITED ONE HOUR AND MY CAR WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND I SLOWLY GOT IT OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY E-LIGHTS ON. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE SHOP AFTER THE NEW YEAR.. AGAIN. WORST OF ALL AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE ONLINE I SEE IT IS COMMON AMONG JEEP VEHICLES. NOT JUST THE CHEROKEE. HAPPENS AFTER I GAS UP. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED AT HIGH SPEEDS BY OTHER CARS ON THE ROADWAY. HAS BEEN LISTED IN FORUMS AS SOMESORT OF ROLLOVER FUEL VALVE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE MORE SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH OCCURS ASSUMING THAT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED. ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE THE WORK THEY DID ON 2ND VISIT TO DEALER I HAVE HAD CHECK GAS CAP AND ENGINE LIGHTS ON

WHILE TOWING OUR JEEP BEHIND A CLASS A 24 FOOT MOTORHOME TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR ON A BUMPY ROAD THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND TRYING TO PULL TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. WE SLOWED DOWN BUT IT CONTINUED UNTIL WE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. CARS BEHIND US CLEARED OUT AWAY BECAUSE I'M SURE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE. WE OF COURSE WERE SCARED AND CONCERNED AS WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. WE ARE IN A VERY REMOTE AREA WITH NO CELL PHONE SERVICE AND CONCERN ABOUT DANGER TO US AND OTHER TRAVELERS AS WE HAD NO PLACE TO PULL OFF. WE DID A THOROUGH WALK AROUND CONCERNED ABOUT FLAT TIRES OR A BROKEN TOW HITCH. I RECALL AN ARTICLE IN MOTORHOME MAGAZINE CONCERNING "DEATH WOBBLE "IN 2014 AND 15 JEEP CHEROKEE'S. WE DID A YOUTUBE SEARCH AND INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THERE IS A HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM THAT JEEP IS TRYING TO CORRECT BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING. IF WE HAD BEEN TOWING THE JEEP WITH A PICK UP TRUCK WE PROBABLY WOULD'VE BEEN FLIPPED OFF THE ROAD, LUCKILY WE ARE IN A BIG HEAVY MOTORHOME. MOTORHOME OWNERS MAY FIND OUT ABOUT THIS AS TIME GOES ON BUT THESE JEEPS WILL BE TRADED TO UNINFORMED OWNERS THAT MAY PULLTHE JEEP WITH A SMALLER VEHICLE. THE NAME DEATH WOBBLE ALL OVER YOUTUBE HAS ME CONCERNED AS HOW THE NAME CAME TO BE. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHILE BEING PULLED BY LIGHTWEIGHT RV OR SUVS OR ALREADY OBVIOUSLY HAS HAPPENED BUT NOT REPORTED.

ON 10/18/2015, WHILE FLAT TOWING MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON I-5 NEAR SAN CLEMENTE, CA BEHIND OUR RV, WE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SIDE TO SIDE SWERVING SENSATION. WHILE WORKING TO CONTROL THE RV, I VIEWED VIA THE REAR CAMERA, THE CHEROKEE ROCKING SIDE TO SIDE, VIOLENTLY SHAKING THE RV. THE 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO BE FLAT TOWED BEHIND THE RV, AND WAS CONNECTED TO THE RV WITH A BLUE-OX TOWING SYSTEM. I HAD PREVIOUSLY TOWED THE JEEP CHEROKEE APPROXIMATELY 14,000 MILES PRIOR TO THIS EVENT WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE VIOLENT SWAYING CONTINUED THROUGH THE BRAKING PROCESS, AND DID NOT CEASE UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER STOPPING ON I-5, A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION DID NOT IDENTIFY AN OBVIOUS CAUSE SUCH AS A FLAT/SOFT TIRE ON THE RV OR JEEP, LOOSE OR DAMAGED TOW BAR. I SLOWLY EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND PARKED IN A SAFE LOCATION FOR A CLOSER INSPECTION. TURNING THE JEEP'S IGNITION TO "ON" WITHOUT STARTING, I NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC STABILITYCONTROL LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED. AFTER CHECKING VARIOUS RV FORUMS, I DISCOVERED THAT OTHERS WITH 2014 JEEP CHEROKEES HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WHICH SEEMS TO RESOLVE ITSELF AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED ON MY JOURNEY WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS AND THE WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASH RESET WITHIN A DAY OR SO. IT APPEARS TO BE A UNIQUE PROBLEM TO 2014 JEEP CHEROKEES ACCORDING TO VARIOUS RV FORUMS. MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE ACTIVE DRIVE II TRANSMISSION SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR FLAT TOWING BEHIND MY RV.

THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT IN WHICH THE COMPUTER OF THE JEEP CHEROKEE HAS MALFUNCTIONED. I HAD IT SERVICED FOR THE SECOND TIME JUST TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. IN THIS PARTICULAR ACCIDENT, THE SCREEN FROZE, MY PHONE WAS CHARGING AND WHEN THE SCREEN FROZE MY PHONE WAS POWERED OFF ALONG WITH THE CHARGING PORT, AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE DUE TO IT BEING A RED LIGHT AND CAR IN FRONT OF ME THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE OR SWITCH LANES. A SERVICE LIGHT FLASHED AT ME WHEN EVERYTHING FROZE BUT THEN DISAPPEARED. OF COURSE, AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN OFF AND TURNED BACK ON, THERE WERE NO ISSUES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS FROZEN ON ME. I'M UNSURE OF THE BETTER TERM TO DESCRIBE THIS. BUT THIS TIME RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH WAS NOT IN MY CONTROL DUE TO MY BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKING. I WAS TOLD TWO WEEKS AGO MY CAR WAS UP TO DATE ON ALL SERVICE ISSUES. APPARENTLY THIS WAS INCORRECT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH JEEP. I ALSO HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY SAFETY RECALLS REGARDING THE KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THE BRAKE HACK DUE TO THE 3G AND UCONNECT COMPUTER SYSTEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED.

SHORTLY AFTER STARTING OUR 1500 MILE TRIP ON JULY 14 CROSSING A BRIDGE THE MONACO DIESEL PUSHER MOTORHOME TOWING A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE 4X4 LATITUDE WITH ACTIVE DRIVE II SHOOK BADLY FRONT-TO-BACK AND SIDE-TO-SIDE AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NORMALLY A BUMP WILL CAUSE THE MH TO SHAKE FRONT-TO-BACK MOMENTARILY. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED AROUND AND UNDER BOTH VEHICLES AND FOUND NOTHING AMISS. GOT IN AND HEADED ON OUR TRIP. A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT DAY THE MH SHOOK WHEN HITTING A BUMP BUT NOT AS VIOLENTLY AS EARLIER. NO MORE SHAKING ON THE TRIP AND NO APPARENT DAMAGE. THE JEEP HAD BEEN DISENGAGED AND REENGAGED FROM THE MOTORHOME A COUPLE OF TIMES WITH NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. WE TRAVELED FROM BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK TO CAPITAL REEF NP ON 20 JULY OVER A CURVY, HILLY HIGHWAY. AT CAPITOL REEF WE DISCONNECTED THE JEEP AND FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE TOW BAR/TAB HAD DAMAGED THE SHROUD IN THE FRONT OF THE JEEP. WE DROVE THE MH AND JEEP SEPARATELY TO MOAB, UT FOR REPAIRS. WHEN THE MECHANIC REMOVED THE LOWER FRONT SHROUD ON THE JEEP AND INSPECTED THE DAMAGE HE FOUND THE WELDS ON THE JEEP ALUMINUM BRACKET THAT THE TOW-BAR BASE-PLATE WAS FASTENED TO WERE BROKEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND CRACKED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WE CONTINUED DRIVING BOTH SEPARATELY TO OUR HOME.

I BOUGHT A PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED JEEP CHEROKEE 2014 FROM DAVID'S DODGE, JEEP, AND CHRYSLER LAST WEEK MONDAY, JUNE 6TH, 2015. I HAD A MAJOR ISSUE OCCUR A WEEK LATER ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH THE CAR LOSS TRACTION CONTROL, 4 WHEEL DRIVE, AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS IN A CATTLE SHOOT AND HAD TO COAST THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO PULL OVER. A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH WARNINGS ABOUT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND TRANSMISSION WERE SHOWN. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH RESULTED IN A HARD JERK FROM MOVING THE CLUTCH FROM DRIVE TO PARK. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE CAR WAS IDLING AT AN ABNORMALLY HIGH RPM. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND NOTICED A JERK ONCE AGAIN WHEN MOVING THROUGH THE GEARS. THE CAR ALSO SHIFTED VERY HARD FOR ABOUT 45 MORE MILES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR REQUIRED AN UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS PREFORMED THAT DAY. AS AN ENGINEER I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE DEALERSHIP SOLD A CAR WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO NEGLIGENCE WITH REGARDS IGNORING A CRUCIAL UPDATE LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION THE CAR IS SHIFTING VERY HARD FROM GEAR TO GEAR AND SEEMS TO BE GIVING A SHALLOW SHIFT TO 1ST GEAR WHEN THE CAR IS AT A COMPLETE STOP. MONDAY, 13TH, 2015, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TWO OTHER ISSUES A SQUEAK IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND AN INTERFERENCE ISSUE WITH THE SIRUSXM. AS AN ENGINEER IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A DEEP UNDERLYING PROBLEM WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION I WILL BE ASKING FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AS THE UPDATE WAS NOT EFFECTIVE CAUSING ROUGH SHIFTING AND A LOSS OF ACCELERATION IN THE SHIFT FROM HIGH TO LOW GEARS.

AS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS, MY JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BRAKE FOR NO APPARENT CAUSE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE "COLLISION IMMINENT" TONE HAS SOUNDED AT THE SAME TIME. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF CONTROL AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS DISCONCERTING. ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED, BUT THESE WERE TRIGGERED BY A CAR LEAVING THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT SIDE, TO TURN AT AN ANGLE INTO A STREET THAT BRANCHED OFF THE ROUTE I WAS ON. ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS CLEARLY OUT OF THE PATH OF THE CAR, APPARENTLY THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM THOUGHT THAT MY CAR WAS CLOSING ON THE OTHER CAR TOO QUICKLY, AND AGAIN SOUNDED THE WARNING AND SLOWED THE CAR DOWN. AGAIN, THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH CONTROL OF THE CAR, AND NO ACCIDENT, ALTHOUGH DRIVERS BEHIND ME HAD TO SLOW DOWN BY ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I HAVE LEARNED TO LEAVE SOME EXTRA DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND CARS TURNING OFF FOR JUST THIS REASON. *TR

NOTE: THIS ISSUE IS WITH THE 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL ENGINE: ON THE 1ST OCCURRENCE, AFTER MERGING ON HIGHWAY WITH 4 PASSENGERS, AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPG, VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHUDDER/VIBRATE, WITH SHUDDERING STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. SHUDDERING STOPPED WHEN REMOVING FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR, AND STARTED SHUDDERING AGAIN WHEN I BEGAN ACCELERATING. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME, AND HAS CONTINUED TO VIBRATE/SHUDDER INTERMITTENTLY EVERY DAY SINCE. IT SEEMS TO PRIMARILY HAPPEN AROUND 7TH/8TH GEAR AT 55-60MPH, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED GOING AROUND 40MPH. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 ECODIESEL ENGINE, AND COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT.

I MET HER AND AFTER TRYING, GOT THE CAR GOING BUT NOTICED THAT I DIDN'T FEEL ANY RESPONSE OR HEAR ANY ENGINE REVVING WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN. IT ALSO SEEMED TO START FAIRLY ROUGH. SHE TOOK MY VEHICLE TO WORK. I CHECKED THE VEHICLE LATER AND IT STARTED OK. THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WAS THE NORMAL 12.6V AND 14.7V WHEN RUNNING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. THE NEXT DAY AS THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. WE DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL FRI MORNING WITH CHRISTMAS BEING THURS. THE VEHICLE DID START BEFORE THE FLATBED TOWED IT OFF TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE ALL DAY AND WAS ABOUT READY FOR ME TO PICK IT UP WHEN THEY NOTICED A LOSS IN PRESSURE AT THE FUEL PUMP AND DECIDED TO REPLACE IT. AFTER WE GOT THE VEHICLE BACK IT RAN OK FOR A FEW DAYS BUT THEN ON 1/3/2015 IT CUT OUT AGAIN ABOUT TWO BLOCKS FROM OUR HOUSE IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.. IT WAS AGAIN RAINY OUTSIDE. SHE AGAIN SAW THE SAME MESSAGE. I MET HER AND GOT IT STARTED AGAIN BUT ALSO AGAIN NOTICED NO REACTION TO STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I SHIFTED IT INTO REVERSE IT THEN SEEMED TO REACT TO GIVING IT GAS FINE AND DROVE HOME OK. WE TOOK IT TO CHURCH AND AROUND TOWN THE NEXT DAY AND IT SEEMED FAIRLY NORMAL. HAVING GONE THROUGH ROUGH SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE EARLY AND TWO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGERS AND THEN THIS JEEP AND THE ARTICLES ON THIS SITE THAT SEEM TO BE POINTING TO JEEP TRANSMISSIONS I THINK CHRYSLER BETTER COME UP WITH THE RIGHT FIX VERY SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE LEFT LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN I LOST MY FORWARD DRIVE GEAR, MY VEHICLE RAPIDLY SLOWED CAUSING VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO BREAK. MY DISPLAY WAS TELLING ME TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. MY GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR WAS FLASHING RAPIDLY BETWEEN DRIVE AND NATURAL. I TRIED TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE THEN THE SHOULDER AS OTHER VEHICLES AVOIDED ME. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I GOT TO THE SHOULDER, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED. I WAS THEN ABLE TO PROCEED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE SERVICE MANAGER RAN A QUICK CHECK AND SAID THE VEHICLE RECORDED OVER 20 FAULTS AT THE SAME TIME WHICH RANGED FROM DISENGAGING THE ANTI LOCK BREAKS TO DISABLING MY FORWARD DRIVE. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. HE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME THE SAME EVENING BECAUSE HE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, BUT SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE OF SOME TYPE. I CONTACTED JEEP CASE # 26113535. ALTHOUGH THEY ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE THEY ULTIMATELY CLOSED THE CASE BECAUSE ONCE THE DEALER INITIALLY CLEARED THE FAULTS THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I CONTACTED JEEP REFERENCE NUMBER 26160146 AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT THEY HAD CLOSED THE CASE CLAIMING THAT I HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD TALKED TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD THEM HE COULD NOT DO IT. JEEP WANTS ME TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IF I HAVE TO WAIT THE UNTIL NEXT TIME MY VEHICLE LOOSES ALL FORWARD DRIVE AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION THERE MAY BE A FATALITY OR MAJOR ACCIDENT DEPENDING ON WHERE, TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND WEATHER CONDITIONS IT HAPPENS.THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH JEEP IS CHOOSING TO IGNORE.. *JS

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BACK UP INTO A SPACE ON A SLIGHTLY INCLINED STREET. I HAD TO APPLY SOME EXTRA POWER TO MY JEEP. HOWEVER IT WENT SIDEWAYS INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE PARKING SPOT. I THOUGHT I DID NOT PLAN THE MANEUVER CORRECTLY BUT WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT MY REAR LEFT TIRE LOST TRACTION TO THE ROAD WHICH MADE THE CAR TRAVEL SIDEWAYS INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT. I HAD REPORTED SOME RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRES EARLIER IN THE WEEK AND SOME MINOR PLY IN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE DEALER. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE RUBBING NOISE AND REPORTED FIXING THE STEERING WHEEL. I PICKED UP THE CAR ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT PROBLEMS WERE STILL THE SAME. I AM GUESSING THAT THERE IS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE ESC THAT MADE THE CAR PERFORM IN THAT FLAWED MANNER. THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THAT HIT AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL NOW MORE CROCKED.

ONCE SAFELY PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN TO THE SAME MESSAGES/LIGHTS TURNING ON. WE REGAINED POWER STEERING AFTER WE TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON BUT ALL OTHER ISSUES PERSISTED. CALLED FOR A TOW BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER CLAIMED IT WAS A BAD ABS MODULE. I AM FILING A SAFETY COMPLAINT FOR POOR ELECTRICAL DESIGN IF AN ABS MODULE HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING DOWN THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE 2014 CHEROKEE THIS CAN POSE A SERIOUS HAZARD TO ALL VEHICLE OPERATORS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

1 complaint

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE FROM A STOP (NOT INITIAL START UP), THE JEEP HAS A TENANCY TO LOOSE POWER AND BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE FROM THE GAS PEDDLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO JUST LET OFF THE GAS AND THEN GIVE IT 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO HAVE ACCELERATION POWER. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE TO GIVE MUCH MORE ROOM WHEN TURNING. ALONG WITH THIS ISSUE, I HAVE A ISSUE WITH POWER WHEN DRIVING (AGAIN AFTER STOPPING, NEVER INITIAL START AND DRIVE) WHERE THE ENGINE REVS HIGH, EVEN WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS, AND IT DOES NOT INCREASE SPEED, AND LOOSES SPEED AND POWER. I DO THE SAME THING WHERE I LET OFF THE GAS FOR A FEW SECONDS TILL THE RPM DROPS AND THEN CAN RESUME DRIVING AGAIN. *TR

1 complaint

A JEEP AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER FOR MY VEHICLE. ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER I TOOK MY VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY. "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" WARNING SHOWED UP FIRST, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, AND SOME ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS WERE DISABLED, WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, THE PARKSENSE, THE LANE SENSE, AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THE ESC ACTIVATION / MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON. THERE WAS LOUD RATTLING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE, AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING WHILE MOVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME MOVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER I PARKED ON A SURFACE ROAD, I FOUND NO ENGINE OIL WAS REGISTERED ON THE DIPSTICK. THE LEAKED OIL WAS SPLASHED OVER THE VEHICLE'S EXTERIOR. IN PARTICULAR, IT COVERED THE PARKING SENSORS AND THE REAR WINDOW, WHICH DISABLED THE ELECTRONIC SAFETY FEATURES AND GREATLY REDUCED MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME ON THE HIGHWAY WERE ALSO SPLASHED BY THE LEAKED OIL AND WERE BEEPING AND/OR CUTTING IN MY LANE TO COMPLAIN. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT THE RUBBER RING THAT SEALS THE CARTRIDGE HOUSING OF THE OIL FILTER WAS BROKEN, CAUSING THE ENGINE OIL LEAK. THIS O-SHAPED RUBBER RING COMES WITH THE OEM OIL FILTER THAT WAS INSTALLED WHEN THE OIL FILTER WAS CHANGED. THE ENGINE WAS DAMAGED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT NO TEST DRIVE IS REQUIRED TO CHECK IF THERE IS A LEAK FOR OIL CHANGE SERVICE. THREE OTHER JEEP DEALERSHIPS CONFIRMED THIS CLAIM. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE OIL FILTER SEALING THAT CAN CAUSE LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENTS. I BELIEVE JEEP DOES NOT INSTRUCT THEIR AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP TO IMPLEMENT AN OIL FILTER CHANGE PROCEDURE THAT ENSURES A PART DEFECT LIKE THIS WOULD BE DISCOVERED BEFORE THE VEHICLE LEAVES THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
