Hello my jeep got a message of service 4 wheel drive so i brought it to the dealership. the looked at it and it turns out to be a failing PTU. Jeep did a recall and extended warranty on it but they are saying they will not cover the cost of the repair because its the wrong code. I have code C14A797 and they are saying they need code P14A797. This doesnt even make sense its the same exact faulty part but different codes??? Codes they the car company creates?
After driving a vehicle for a few minutes the lights will flash pretty badly, the service transmission light comes on, on the dash and the car enters limp mode, and the fan comes on, you are unable to move the vehicle it will not go forward or backwards. The vehicle runs perfectly smooth until this happens without warning. Additionally, the service air bag light came on, on the dash but if you turn the car off and back on the lights will go away and you can resume activity as usual. The cars lights and horn goes crazy even when you are not in the vehicle or driving it and does not have to be on when it does this. Now the vehicle has a service engine light on and diagnostics have been done and one part has been changed but this did not resolve the issue which was a purge solenoid and the oil filter housing which also did not resolve the issue. This vehicle is very dangerous to drive as it will go into limp mode while driving it.
Warning lights came on, unable to see speedometer screen. Mechanic removed and replaced front wheel speed sensor and abs wheel sensor.
All Recalls for 2015 jeep Cherokee 2.4 wasn’t done properly and caused more damage. Transaxle harness, pscm, maniverter and more caused engine damage to block, which was supposed to be replaced during recall for oil consumption. Now dealer is wanting to charge me for damages pertaining to recalls and new engine block that wasn’t replaced during xb1 and x80 recall warranty. I was almost hit on highway from vehicle stalling out at highspeed and maniverter turning red from 20 minutes of driving from picking up from dealer after u90 recall was supposedly fixed. Constant dash notifications of throttle and shifter as well. I’ve already contacted legal advice and I just want my vehicle running properly, new vehicle or compensation. Everything on this vehicle needs replaced dealing with faulty pcm tcm bcm ecu pscm all harnesses practically entire vehicle.
Water intrusion, causing damage to my electric parking brake module. Parking brake and engaged while vehicle was in motion.

I am filing this complaint to report a seemingly common ongoing and worsening transmission issues in my 2015 Jeep Cherokee, which persist and have become significantly worse after receiving the U90 recall update and a subsequent TCM/PCM software update offered by Jeep. My vehicle shifted regular before the update After the update, the vehicle began exhibiting: •Harsh and delayed shifting •Sudden jerks and gear hunting during low-speed driving •Uncommanded downshifts •Severe hesitation from a stop, especially at intersections or in traffic •Loss of power under throttle, with unpredictable shifts These symptoms make the vehicle unsafe in daily driving — especially in traffic or at intersections — as it often fails to respond predictably when attempting to accelerate or shift gears. The transmission behavior feels erratic, and software updates have not resolved the issue. Despite the U90 recall and repeated visits to the dealer, the transmission continues to perform poorly and poses a safety concern. Other owners have reported similar issues post-recall. Jeep has not issued a full recall for these problems beyond software updates, which clearly do not solve the underlying mechanical or calibration issues Resolution Sought: I urge NHTSA to: •Investigate post-U90 transmission behavior in the 2015 Jeep Cherokee •Consider a formal recall or service campaign for the ZF 9-speed transmission (9HP) due to persistent performance and safety problems •Require Jeep to provide a permanent fix for affected owners

Ptu went out they replaced it it was still not working and they said oh well now ptu is still out and it rolls in park won’t shift when pulling out and is very scary to have my kids in this death trap
The 4WD unavailable notification is displayed on the Jeep. I took the vehicle to a mechanic, and was told that the Power Transfer Unit needs to be replaced. Currently in a battle with a Jeep dealership, over whether or not they should honor the extended warranty on the PTU.
After learning of the recall for the lift gate module because of water intrusions of multiple points. The wiring harness to the lift gate module was serverly corroded and had to be replaced. The original fix, without the corrosion on the harness, was the place a piece of plastic over the module. That recall and fix did nothing to address the issues of multiple points of water intrusions. From body seems, the seal around the hatch, and around the tail light(s). There is more than one harness, and more than one module in the tire well. The multiple water leaks, that can and have affected an electrical component the was deemed as being a potential to start a fire, and none of the others in there are. There needs to be a recall on the water leaks, from their poor design! I have saw first hand how badly the harness they HAD to replace, along with the lift gate module. Because of the very seriousness of the corrosion. Where they not only replaced both of them, but also had to relocate the lift gate module, because of the evidence of the amount on water that has been entering the cargo, and wheel well areas! À 11 year old vehicle, from the information I have read up on, many with this same production years are also having the issues of water intrusions! Hold them responsible, instead of letting them cut corners of just trying to put a umbrella over there recall! I don't have pictures now, or when I took it to the dealership originally for the recall. But I am willing to take pictures, as I'm still in the process of disassembly the interior to try and pin point all the water intrusions! The dealership I took it to for the recall work, said they are "not aware of any water intrusions on this vehicle". That's a big problem!!
Car repeatedly says “Shift to Park” when in any gear.
This issue occurred when I started the vehicle. Control panel showing Service 4WD and Four-Wheel Drive Unavailable. The dealership retrieved code C14A7-97 (PTU Motor - Component or System Operation Obstructed or Blocked) noting internal damage to PTU...PTU needs to be replaced. Quote to replace over $10K. There is another safety recall for the PTU but this code is not covered. I do not see how normal driving could cause "internal damage" to the PTU and cannot understand how this does not relate to any already known issues with the 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk PTU system.
My parking brake turned on by itself when I started my 2015 Jeep Cherokee and would not turn off. The parking brake light also came on. It is available for inspection. My safety and others safety was put at risk because my car could have stopped running while I was driving. I will be taking it to my local Jeep dealership to have it looked at. I have had a mechanic look at it but was told he could not fix it.
Since I bought the car Periodic here and there hesitation when going from complete stop to pressing gas to go . Traffic coming towards us and still hesitant to go (sometimes had to pull to the side and other times finally caught on and went) so took it in for tune up had spark plugs replaced and over time periodic hesitation happening again. . Didn’t think much of it then maybe it’s the car (it was so infrequent) until the SVC 4WD light came abt a week n half ago and now the car has been in the shop since waiting to have the PTU replaced. Why was my car not recalled? And others have been. It only has Just under 100,000 miles on it. Currently at Lynch Chrysler Jeep in Mukwonago being worked on! Also just 4 weeks prior to that it was in for the standard ignition engine oil cooler .. (receipt attached) cracked so bad leaking oil every where. Repair shop said they’ve seen of half dozen of these in the shop in the past few weeks. . Part is made cheap and is plastic. Common prob why isn’t that recalled ? But better yet after that was replaced within 24 hours check engine light came back on for a defaulty oil pressure sensor that was part of the standard ignition engine oil cooler - at least was part under warranty due to it was just replaced. Then the SVC 4WD which is mentioned above, this is still being repaired (so no receipt yet just estimate) I guess there was a hold on ordering parts but now has been lifted and they got the part and started working on my car! Not sure if my car qualifies for a lemon or not .. but if this is how a jeep is made I will never buy another .. I’ve been without a car for over a month due to sitting in shops!!
I was driving down the highway and my car just shut off and came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. It happened twice. Both times the emergency brake light came on but at no time was the emergency brake engaged by me. I was lucky that I wasn’t on a busy road and the care behind me had time to react or it could have been fatal. After trying to restart the car it took some tinkering with the ebrake and after a slight hesitation of the engine, it started. That happened twice in one day and once on another. This is a huge issue that can cause loss of life.
4 wheel drive wont kick in
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal grinding sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the power transfer unit needed to be replaced, but the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V343000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

While driving with my children, a message to service the electronic parking break appeared. The parking break engaged and I am no longer able to move my vehicle in order to have it serviced.
On several occasions, I have been driving the vehicle when it suddenly shifted gears and lurched forward unexpectedly. This action is so powerful it feels like another car has hit me from behind. This was a transmission failure and is available for inspection. Both myself and my family members have suffered whiplash-like neck injuries from these repeated incidents. The automobile puts us at risk of colliding with another vehicle, shifting out of gear, and stopping in the middle of the road or highway while driving. The dealer checked the vehicle, and they could not reproduce the problem. The dealer has inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to failure. The problem began in 2020 and has gotten worse over time.

Driving through [XXX] in Belfair, WA my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with the 2.4L started running rough and was jerking. As I entered the turn lane the Service Park Brake light flashed, my Jeep jerked to a stop and the emergency brake was turned on while I was still in Drive. I could not get the Emergency Brake to release even after putting my vehicle into park and pressing the brake pedal. I turned the Jeep off then back on but the Emergency Brake was still stuck on. I had to shut the Jeep off and get out of my vehicle on a very busy Highway to get my tools from the spare tire cargo. Upon retrieving my tools I noticed several inches of standing water in the spare tire area. I then popped my hood, disconnected the battery then reconnected the battery. This allowed the Emergency Brake to release so I could drive to the nearest parking lot. I was along an extremely busy State Highway for almost 10 minutes and nearly got hit by other vehicles including school busses and big rigs! My Jeep was towed to my home in Shelton, WA where further inspection showed water had been leaking from the lift gate. I removed all panels and found almost 4 inches of water where my spare sits, mold, water and moisture on and around the ECU and the Automatic Braking System and rust. The seals are good but when it rains the water finds its way in! These pictures are from after when I used my shop vac to get the water out. I found there is a recall for the exact same thing but only for Power Lift Gates. I do not have a Power Lift Gate but this is a major safety issue and should be recalled whether the 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has a power lift gate or manual lift gate! A quick internet search shows so many other Jeep Owners without the Power Lift Gate have the same issue and complaints!

I own a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited. A week ago I was in a parking lot and reversing out of a parking space when a warning light came on "shift in park to start engine." The engine was running, however as I shifted to drive numerous lights on the dash board were flashing on and off. I shifted the vehicle to park, however when I shifted back to drive the vehicle was not moving forward when I stepped on the gas pedal. I shut the vehicle off and on and was able to shift to drive and move forward although multiple warnings were flashing on the dash board. I was able to drive back to my home. I turned the vehicle off and on and again shifted to drive, however this time the vehicle did not move forward, the same when I shifted to reverse. I have not taken my vehicle to a dealer or mechanic yet, so not sure what the issue is here, but I did see that there were over 900 complaints for power train on the NHTSA website and the most recent 2 or 3 recalls were describing very similar incidents to what happened to my vehicle.

UNKNOWN Over the past year, my vehicle has unexpectedly stalled on the highway while traveling at high speeds. This alarming situation has occurred multiple times, leaving me and my passengers in precarious circumstances. Luckily I have been able to avoid hitting other vehicles while moving to the roadside. I believe these incidents are linked to a manufacturing defect within the transmission system, a concern for many Jeep Cherokee owners. For instance, numerous reports on forums like Jeep Forum and NHTSA's website detail similar experiences, with owners describing sudden stalls and transmission issues resulting in dangerous situations. I originally brought my vehicle in on June 21, 2023, where a diagnostic was performed. Jeep recommended repairing the cooling system and changing additional parts, which we did with our trusted mechanic at a cost of $972.37. Unfortunately, the problem of stalling persists. We took the car to the Jeep Dealership and now on October 24, 2024, Jeep has sent me a list of repairs needed totally $9516 to again supposedly fix the issue of the car stalling while driving. The 2015 Jeep Cherokee should now be on the road. I feel strongly that the car should be recalled. Regardless of the fact that the car is no longer under warranty, I have maintained the car with proper maintenence and this should not be happening to any car.
Hi, There are numbers of recalls and 3 of the recalls came back. I got engine light with the codes U0402 Implausible Data Received From TCM U0164 Lost Communication With HVAC Control Module TCM BCM and PCM needs to be reprogrammed or replaced. Also car is accelerating while cruise control is set. Fca satisfaction notice - R01 Fca recall - S55 Nhtsa recall - 16V - 529 Fca recall - U63 Nhtsa recall - 18V - 332 These 3 recalls need to be redone. Thanks
It was recalled before for water getting into the trunk causing electrical issues(even fires). I brought it to a dealership to have it fixed, water is still getting into my vehicle. Dealership said there is nothing we can do since the recall is gone.
There is an active cylinder 2 misfire recall on 2015 jeep Cherokee. Our vehicle has been in the shop for about 3 days now. And the cylinder 2 misfire is still happening. We would like our vin looked into. To be added to the recall. The misfire appears to be happening in idle.
Experiencing description included in NHTSA Action Number: PE22009 The electronic parking brake is troublesome and often times has trouble engaging/disengaging.
Good morning. I am contacting you in regards to my 2015 Jeep Cherokee. In summary, I am having issues with the transmission and upon further investigation I believe the issue is identical/related to recall campaign 16V529000. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle and would very much appreciate the issue be investigated. Thank you
The vehicle was recalled but it's been six months and the part is still not available and we are unable to renew the registration due to the part not being available.
I’m not sure what component failed as it is linked to many. My 4 wheel drive is out. The differential pump needs to be replaced. It is available for inspection. My safety was put at risk by my car slipping and I drove into a curb thankfully no one was hurt! I took it into my repair shop and it was confirmed the differential pump needs to be replaced. None of the federal employees had to investigate the car as it wasn’t in an accident. There is a 4 month wait time to get my part so this must be an issue with lots of jeep owners! My service 4 wheel drive light would go on and off when hitting bumps a week before this happened. It still goes on and off as I can’t get it replaced because I cannot obtain the part because it’s on back order for four months! Please help us keep owners get this problem resolved!
Hard shifting and jump forward while in low speeds
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The driver was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle was able to restart; however, the message "Please Shift to Park," was displayed even though the gear selector was already in park(P). After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the catalytic converter. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 181,000.
About six weeks ago the "check 4WD" light started coming on intermittently and would then go off. I had the car checked before a road trip (that we didn't take for safety reasons) and my shop found a 2020 recall (W48/NHTSA 20E-037) for "all Chrysler models." I brought the car to Jeep of Chicago on [XXX] and the diagnostic found metal particles in the PTU fluid. I then opened a case ([XXX]) with Chrysler, which I was told on [XXX] they cancelled without contacting me or Jeep of Chicago because my VIN wasn't associated with any recalls. I found that Chrysler recalled 2016/2017 Jeep Cherokees for this issue and I was told by service people at Jeep of Chicago and Fields Jeep they have had a number of Jeeps come in for this issue. I was quoted $2818.55 to fix this and want Chrysler to pay for this. I am hoping NHTSA can help with this as it is a known safety issue.

On approximately [XXX], I got a warning notification on my console that said "4 wheel drive needs to be serviced". We took our vehicle immediately into the Lithia Ram of Tri Cities Ram Dealership in Kennewick Washington and was told they will order the part. We did not hear from them and my husband went back to the dealership in two weeks and they told us that we had an appointment with them that morning for them to run a diagnostic on our 2015 Jeep. We did not know that (their employee had forgotten to write it on his business card) and they had forgotten to tell us of that appointment. They rescheduled for 2 weeks later for August 29, 2024. They ran the diagnostic on the car and was advised it was a recall on a ptu on the 4 wheel drive unit. They said we could drive it, but no more than 50 miles. I now drive this vehicle very little because I am afraid that the transmission will fail. We have patiently waited and was advised the part would be in on November 20, 2024. We text them today and was told that they they apologize for the delay in ordering the part and the ptu part is pending January 15, 2025 now to submit an order. They blame Chrysler for the delay of getting the ptu part. The warning notification comes up on my front screen that the "4 wheel drive needs to be serviced" when I drive the car less than one half a mile to the grocery store. I am very afraid that the transmission will fail when I am crossing a busy street and will be hit by another car. I will stop driving my car. I never received a recall notice.

Once I stop my vehicle doesn’t accelerate normally and jerks right after. Also the service shifter light came on and won’t go off.
There has been two separate occasions this has occurred. The last occurrence resulted in a car wreck . The first occurrence I was driving out of a public parking lot and had feet on breaks and engine rived up and keep going into traffic but car saw me coming and switched lines. This second occurrence I was parking the car in a parking space with my feet on the breaks and the car rived up even with me hitting the breaks jumped the curb and i and the car ended up through the window of a store. No one was hurt but car damaged and in the shop for repairs. Police came to the seen and deemed it an accident. I did not see any warning lights or messages prior to either of these events. report #WC2400651 / unable to upload as i don't have a copy
PTU failed. This is a known engineering failure in these models and there is no recall for it.
The Power Transfer Unit has been diagnosed by dealer as, "Internal failure within PTU obstructing shift". This unit automatically transfers power to a rear wheel or wheels whenever the front wheel or wheels loses traction/slips due to wet, slick surfaces. This action enables vehicle to regain traction and stabilize control of vehicle. Without it loss of traction cannot be corrected putting the vehicle at risk of a catastrophic accident. The dealer has not repaired this and it has been over two months that I continue to drive this vehicle. The reason dealer has not repaired as told to me is that the part is unavailable due to high demand indicating that this is not an isolated incident.
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed a failure with the transmission. The contact stated the vehicle jerked abnormally. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure recurred. The dealer was not contacted, and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 160,403.
The contact's son owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that on several occasions while in reverse(R), there was a repeated thump coming from the vehicle. The contact stated while driving at various speeds on several occasions, the transmission inadvertently shifted into Drive-2 and remained stuck in second gear. Additionally, the contact observed an unknown message that appeared, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was steered off the highway, shifted into park, and then back in drive; however, Drive-2 remained selected. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 158,323.
A few times when I have used cruise control my car suddenly accelerates and takes me slamming on my break for a few seconds to disengage to slow down, almost causing me to crash into someone. I have not taken my car to a shop to have it looked at. There were no warning lights or messages when it happened
The service shifter light comes on intermittently on my 2015 jeep Cherokee latitude. Service shifter light comes on dash and all lights on the shifter assembly are solid red. The service shifter light will not go off until the car is turned off and back on. It causes the heads up display to be blocked until the vehicle is turned off to reset the lights. The transmission feels like it is missing a gear or slipping between gears just before the service shifter light comes on. It does not have a solid time that it comes on. You can be driving down the road and it just comes on or you can be putting the car into reverse and it comes on. The jumper and bezel along with the shifter assembly has been replaced 2 times already. The first time it was replaced at my cost on April 8, 2022. The second time was replaced on November 30, 2023. My vehicle will be going into the dealership again because the service shifter light has come on again on July 14, 2024. This is a known issue and no one is doing anything about it after 90 plus complaints have already been filed with you.
My 2015 Jeep Cherokee started having strange electrical issues. Sometimes the automatic lift gate would not open or close. Sometimes the parking brake would engage and not release. At times the parking brake would engage and I would not be able to drive the car. It would engage within seconds of starting to drive the car, leaving the car lurching forward or unable to move (in the middle of the street). I noticed there seemed to be water leaking into the car around the back right near the power lift gate. I managed to disengage the emergency brake to drive the car to the mechanic. The mechanic could not get the brake released and had to tow the car to an electrical specialist. I paid around $2000 for a new harness for the park break as well as other issues related to the water damage corroding the electrical equipment at the power lift gate. 16 months later and I am having the same issue again. I brought the Jeep to the dealer and they told me the brakes are corroded in addition to the recall on the power lift gate. I believe this (corroded brakes) may also be from the lift gate water leak issue. The recall repair will take months I am told. In the meantime I cannot open the lift gate and so cannot have a diagnostic done on the water leak at the lift gate that continues to enter into the electrical system at the back of the car (liftgate area), likely doing more damage again to the other electrical components such as brake release and brakes. I called the recall line at Chrysler to ask for an expedited recall service and they declined, saying the vehicle is safe to drive. Please there must be a recall on the water leaks causing all of these electrical safety issues.
After the recall was completed on the drive spline and the software was updated the transmission started to hold gears, miss gears, and hard shift so badly at times where I almost was rear ended getting onto the highway numerous times.
SER 4WD lights and beeps went on they turn off and back on within 5 minutes. Took to a repair shop and they stated it’s a PTU. However can’t get it fixed because no parts are available . Repair shop said there has been recalls on this problem.
Driving on highway and SVC 4WD indicator appeared then an alert message on dash saying sensor overheated and 4WD is no longer available. Had a loss of acceleration, poor shifting, and hard grinding noise coming from either the ptu or transmission.
