THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V590000 (SEATS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR WITH TWO DEALERS (1. BOB MOORE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF TULSA, 4627 S MEMORIAL DR, TULSA, OK 74145, (918) 663-6343 AND 2. CHRIS NIKEL CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 2920 N ASPEN AVE, BROKEN ARROW, OK 74012, (918) 355-5000). THE FIRST DEALER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS ORDERED, BUT, A WEEK LATER, INDICATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE SECOND DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE PART, BUT THEN NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALERS DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND DECELERATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (WHITTEN BROTHERS OF ASHLAND LOCATED AT 11409 WASHINGTON HWY, ASHLAND, VA 23005; (888) 459-1066), BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND WITH THE VEHICLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,700. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE ON MY OWN

THE REAR POWER LIFT GATE WILL NO LATCH TO THE LOCKED POSITION AND IT WILL NOT LIFT. 2016 I HAD THE FCA RECALL R67 REPAIRED. JUNE 1, 2017 I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST ISSUE WITH THE POWER LIFT GATE AND THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED G907 GROUND STRAP. AUGUST 23, 2017 I'M AGAIN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE REAR LIFT GATE COULD BE OPENED AT ANYTIME DURING VEHICLE MOVEMENT AND DURING A TRAFFIC COLLISION.

THE 911 BUTTON DOES NOT WORK WHEN PRESSED. GET NOTICE SAYING THIS.

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4 - WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AT A STOP LIGHT/SIGN, IT ACTS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS PRIOR TO TAKING OFF. IT WILL OFTEN JERK HARD WHEN IT DOES MOVE AS IF IT IS DROPPING INTO GEAR. OFTEN TIMES THE JERK IS HARD ENOUGH THAT IT WILL THROW ME BACK IN THE SEAT AND MAKES A HORRID NOISE. THE JERK CAN HAPPEN AFTER STOPPING OR RANDOMLY AUTO SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I'VE KEPT A DIARY OF LOGISTICS (HILL, FLAT SURFACE, WINTER, SUMMER, RAIN, DRY, SLOW DRIVING, FAST DRIVING, ETC...) AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN IT'S GOING TO "ACT UP". SOMEONE MENTIONED AN O2 SENSOR? I'VE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, IT'S NORMAL FOR THIS TO HAPPEN (BOTH THE FEELING OF BEING IN NEUTRAL WHEN TAKING OFF AND THE HARD JERKING WHEN SHIFTING). I WORRY MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT OF MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS!

THE TRANSMISSION BANGS INTERMITTENTLY IN VARYING DEGREES IF INTENSITY FROM NOTICEABLE TO EXTREME. WHEN THE BANG IS EXTREME IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR IN THE LOWER GEARS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS HOT AND COLD. I DRIVE HARDER THAN MY WIFE AND THE BANGING OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE DRIVER. UNABLE TO IDENTIFY ANY COMMON FACTORS OTHER THAN OCCURRING IN THE LOWER GEARS WHILE UP SHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING. I HAVE BROUGHT IS IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES. EACH OF THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUBOLICATE THE ISSUE. THE LAST VISIT ON MAY 24, 2017 THE HEAD SERVICE TECHNICIAN ACKNOWLEDGED THE BANG DURING A TEST DRIVE. HE SAID HE WOULD ORDER A NEW TRANSMISSION BUT FIRST HAD TO NOTIFY CHRYSLER. TODAY WE WERE NOTIFIED THEY HAD TO FIRST REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND WERE NOT REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH, THE CAR GAVE ME A "TRANSMISSION SERVICE" ALARM AND THEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED. NO RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION AND EVENTUALLY TO STEERING CONTROL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES, TURNED THE KEY AND THEN THE CAR STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITH NO ISSUES. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED WITH CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM OVERSEAS MILITARY SALES IN SICILY, ITALY AND THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN SICILY.

MY CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS ROUGHLY 38,300 MILES. THE FACTORY WARRANTY IS 36,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE CAR AT 37,401. THE PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE IS THE BLOWER MOTOR WHICH CAUSE THE BLOWER MOTOR SENSOR TO GO BAD. ACCORDING TO THE CERTIFIED JEEP MECHANIC AND THE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THIS PART IS NORMALLY A PART THAT WOULD LAST THE NORMAL SERVICE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE PART IS EITHER DEFECTIVE. THE CAR WAS MOVING WHEN THE DEFECT WAS NOTICED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT.

MY TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AS MY CAR, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY. I HOPE JEEP WILL REMEDY THIS PROBLEM WHICH THEY KNOW EXISTS IN THIS VEHICLE. *TT UPDATED 9/28/18*JB

WE WERE SOLD THIS VEHICLE TO FLAT TOW BEHIND A MOTOR COACH. ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE DANGEROUSLY OUT OF CONTROL. A DEATH WOBBLE. WE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. WE THOUGHT WE HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT. IT IS UNSAFE TO TOW AS WAS DICTATED IN MY MANUAL. THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD UNDER FALSE PRETENSE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $600 TO TOW THIS VEHICLE SAFELY WHEN IT WAS SOLD TO ME AS A SAFE VEHICLE TO TOW

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS HAD TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES FOR OVER A YEAR. IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD (JERKS THE WHOLE CAR) AND MAKES A LOUD THUMPING NOISE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TWICE SINCE THEN AND THEY SAID THE DIAGNOSTICS SHOW THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THEIR TEST DRIVES, SO THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE BRAKED INDEPENDENTLY DUE TO THE WHEELS TURNING INWARDS TOWARDS THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GATOR CHRYSLER JEEP (8040 SOUTH HARBOR CITY BLVD. MELBOURNE, FLORIDA 32901), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE INSURANCE AGENCY DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SENT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. ..UPDATED 07/20/17 *BF ..UPDATED 08/22/17 *BF *JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TRADED IN AFTER REPAIRS DUE TO THE VEHICLE STEERING BEING UNEASY. *TR

I JUST GOT MY VEHICLE IN APRIL 13, 17 MY VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHILE AT THE STREET LIGHT AND IT DOES THIS WHEN EVER IT FEELS LIKE IT AND WHEN EVER I TURN MY VEHICLE ON SOMETIMES MY INSIDE DASHBOARD OR RADIO LIGHTS WON'T COME ON AND IT'S STILL TRYING TO BE FIXED THIS IS RIDICULOUS

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING IS DISPLAYED. ALL LIGHT INDICATORS AT SHIFTER ARE LIT. THIS HAPPENED AT START-UP AND CONTINUED WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN NOTICING TWO POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. 1) ON CERTAIN OCCASION THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL (AS THE RPM'S REV) AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION CATCHES UP A FEW SECONDS LATER SHIFTING INTO GEAR. ALSO, 2) ON CERTAIN OCCASION THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A DELAY IN SHIFTING WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. WHILE NEITHER OF THESE ISSUES HAVE YET TO RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND THOSE DRIVERS AROUND ME. WITH THE CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION SURROUNDING THESE ISSUES WITH FCA VEHICLES, I WANTED TO REPORT THIS COMPLAINT TO NHTSA DIRECTLY.

THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES WHEN I AM TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. THIS HAPPENED TOP ME WHILE DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE WHEN CAR WAS ALMOST BRAND NEW, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FLASHED THE SYSTEM. SAID IT WAS A RECALL. CAR DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE BUT NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

MY SON AND I WERE IN FRONT AND SIDE IMPACT CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE ON 4/24/17 WITH SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN OUR VEHICLE. ATTACHED ARE A FEW PHOTOS OF BOTH VEHICLES FOR REFERENCE. WE WERE DRIVING A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE AND WERE HIT BY A DRIVER WHO HYDROPLANED IN A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE REPORTING OFFICER ESTIMATED MY SPEED AT IMPACT WAS 40 MPH. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE OTHER VEHICLE BUT NOT IN OURS. CONSIDERING THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, FORCE OF IMPACT AND ESTIMATED TRAVEL SPEED AT IMPACT, I FEEL THE JEEP AIRBAGS FAILED FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT INVESTIGATING THIS FURTHER WITH JEEP. AN ACCIDENT REPORT IS AVAILABLE BUT DID NOT UPLOAD DUE TO THE SENSITIVE INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN (VIN #'S, NAMES, INSURANCE POLICY NUMBERS, ETC); HOWEVER, THE REPORT CAN BE PROVIDED UNDER SEPARATE COVER IF NEEDED.

WHEN I START MY VEHICLE AND TURN ON THE KEY MY CAR WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD WITH A JOLT. SOMETIMES WHEN I STOP AND START FOR A LIGHT IT WILL QUICKLY MOVE FORWARD AND JERK....IF I SLOW DOWN THE SPEED IT WILL EXCELLERATE TOO......

NHTSA ISSUE 1096880. 18 APR 2017: DROVE OUT OF SIDE STREET ONTO TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD MAKING OFF SOUNDS AND "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. FOOLED WITH GEAR SHIFTER. BEGAN TO MOVE ONLY SLOWLY IN 1ST GEAR. HEADED BACK TO MY STREET AND HALF WAY STOPPED MOVING AGAIN. PUSHED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. IT WAS A VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE POSITION TO BE IN CROSS WAYS OF A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND CAN'T MOVE. DECIDED TO TRY AND SEE IF I COULD GET THE REST OF THE WAY TO MY HOUSE. COULDN'T GO OVER 5-10 MPH. ONE TIME RPMS RAISED HIGH AND WENT BACK DOWN. COULD NOT CLIMB DRIVEWAY TO GARAGE. HAD TO LEAVE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON INTERSTATE, LOST POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE. TO REPAIR A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS RUN ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE VERIFIED THAT NO RECALL EXISTED FOR MY VEHICLE DESPITE THE FACT THAT TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE PROBLEM WAS KNOWN BY CHRYSLER. SOME VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT CONTAINS THE SAME 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON INTERSTATE WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF CRASH.

ONE MORNING I STARTED THE CAR, I HEARD WATER MOVING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. WHILE, DRIVING THE CAR I HEARD A NOISE'S LIKE A PRESSURE COOKER SOUNDS. ONCE I ARRIVED AT WORK I WALKED AROUND TO THE PASSAGE SIDE TO RETRIEVE MY STAFF. I COULD SMELLED ANTIFREEZE. I CONTACTED JEEP RIGHT AWAY AND THEY CONTACT A TOW COMPANY. IT WAS DROP OFF. THE DEALERSHIP WORKED ON IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THEY DID PRESSURE TEST FOR EXTERNAL LEAK, DIDN'T LOCATE A LEAK. THEY DIDN'T DO A INTERNAL EXAMINE. IT'S 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLES ALREADY LEAKING ANTIFREEZE. I HAVE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE BUT STILL SMELL ANTIFREEZE. TWO PRESSURE TEST LATER NOTHING. I JUST PICKUP MY VEHICLE FOR THE SECOND TIME. WHY IS JEEP VEHICLES HAVING SO MANY PROBLEM. MY PSI, TRANSMISSION AND RADIO MAKING SOUNDS WHEN ITS OFF. JEEP IS A BAD VEHICLE AND IT JUST A MATTER OF TIME, HUMANS MIGHT BE IN DAMAGE DUE TO THE UNCARING MANUFACTURING COMPANY THAT MAKES LOT'S OF MONEY OF THE BACK OF WORKING AMERICANS.

I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WORDS, "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" CAME ACROSS MY DASHBOARD. I WAS COMING UP ON A RED LIGHT, SO I STOPPED FOR THE LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WENT TO ACCERLATE AND MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET IT GOING, IT WOULD ONLY GO 10 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED AAA. WHILE WAITING ON AAA TO ARRIVE I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH REGARDING THE ISSUE AND SAW THAT THERE IS OR MAY BE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. I ALSO SEE THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS WHO HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE/CONCERN. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

DELAYED SHIFTING ON ACCELERATION DANGEROUS!!! WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU DO YOUR F'N JOBS? HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/JEEP/CHEROKEE/2015/TRANSMISSION/DELAYED_SHIFTING_DURING_ACCELERATION.SHTML

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SHORT CIRCUIT IN POWER LIFT GATE CONTROL MODULE AND ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. *LD *JS

SINCE OWNING FOR 2 MOS. CONTINUOUSLY HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING IN THE LOWER GEARS UP TO 3RD. HAS ALL THE TRANSMISSION UPDATES. THURS AFTER TURNING TO A STREET WITH SLIGHT INCLIND, SHIFTING INTO 3RD A LOUD, SCARE "BANG" OCCURED. KEPT DRIVING NO PROBLEM. FRID SAME HAPPED WITH MIFFLED "BANG" SOUND.

JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT, 2015, STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AND COMING TO A STOP OR DECREASE IN SPEED. BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LAST 13 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS BUT THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR SKIPS GEARS. FROM A STOP IT HESITATES TO GO. IT REVS HIGH WHEN DOWN SHIFTING. SHIFTS HARD A LOT. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES. PROGRAMMING UPDATES WERE DONE. NO IMPROVEMENT TO ITS OPERATION. IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO FAIL SOON.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT HARD. THE DOWNSHIFT IS BAD. VERY POOR ON GAS. ELECTRIC PROBLEM. AIR BAG.

DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY IT IS THE TRAILHAWK. DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT AND SLUGGISH. HAVE HAD IT TO DEALER 3/4 TIMES AND ONLY 1 MAN SAID YES HAS ISSUE THEN WILL NOT BACK HIS WORD. TOOK HIM TO HILL AND HAD TO PUT IT TO FLOOR TO GET IT TO GO UP AND SAME ENTERING HIGHWAY!

WHILE DRIVING ON STREET CAR JUST DIED AND SLOWLY CAME TO STOP.VERY DANGEROUS.TRIED RESTARTING WOULD NOT START.UNKNOWN WHAT IS WRONG WITH CAR THAT STOPS WHEN DRIVING AND WILL NOT START AGAIN RIGHT AWAY. AFTER CAR SITTING AWHILE AND A FEW ATTEMPTS TO START IT, IT STARTS AGAIN ONLY TO STOP WHILE DRIVING AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE (LATITUDE) FOR 2YRS NOW. ON SATURDAY 3/11/17, IT WOULD NOT START AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WAS ON. THE GEAR SHIFT WASN'T WORKING EITHER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM BECAUSE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THEY GAVE ME THE NUMBER FOR ROADSIDE HELP TO HAVE IT TOWED IN, THEN AFTER SEVERAL TIMES TRYING IT STARTED, WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH THE ROADSIDE SERVICE DPT. THE NEXT WEEK ON TUE (3/14/17) IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN, THEN SUDDENLY IT DID. I WAS CLOSE TO MY JOB SO I THOUGHT I COULD MAKE IT, BUT THE GEARS WERE STUCK AND HARD TO CHANGE. WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR I COULDN'T SPEED UP. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS CAR!!!! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR IT IS NOT SAFE. I'M JUST GLAD I HAD DROPPED MY 4 KIDS OFF BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A GLITCH IN THE TRANSMISSION MODULE, WELL THIS IS THE SECOND WEEK IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP. THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. WHILE GOING TO GET THE CAR SEATS OUT OF IT, THERE WAS A LADY THERE WITH HER CAR (SAME MAKE & MODEL BUT 2016) HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SHE HAD ONLY 17,000 MILES ON HER CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON IT. I THINK MINE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. MY MILEAGE IS UNDER 25,000!! THIS IS NOT RIGHT. IF THE COMPANY KNOWS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, THEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE CAR. IT'S NOT FAIR TO CONSUMERS!!!

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE TRANSMISSION: WARNING LIGHT FOUR WHEEL DRIVING SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED! WHEN DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT THROUGH 2ND GEAR AND GET STUCK THERE WITH VERY HIGH RPMS, THEN SLAMMING INTO THIRD. (CITY STREET & HIGHWAY) IT ACCELERATES WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. NORMAL DRIVING, NO POWER. WHILE DRIVING LOUD WHINING SOUND FROM UNDER THE SUV. WHEN STOPPED AND IN DRIVE AND TURNING ON AC OR HEAT, THE RPMS WOULD DROP BELOW 1K AND THE SUV WOULD AUTOMATICALLY INCREASE THE RPM CAUSING IT TO LURCH FORWARD. TRANSMISSION SHIFTED RANDOMLY. THE DEALERSHIP WE LEASED THE JEEP FROM REPLACED/RECONFIGURED THE DRIVETRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND FLASH PROGRAMMED THE ECU. THEY REPLACED A DEFECTIVE TRANSFER CONTROL MOTOR. THEY CHECKED WIRING HARNESS AND CALLED A REGIONAL TECHNICIAN. ALL OF THESE "FIXES" FAILED AFTER AN EXTENDED TEST DRIVE. RT 46 CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE SAID THEY NOW NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MOTOR. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THEIR SHOP FOR ALMOST A WEEK. CHRYSLER CORPORATE SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY. THE SALES MANAGER AT RT 46 CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE WOULD NOT TAKE OUR 2015 CHEROKEE AS TRADE IN FOR A NEW SUV BECAUSE HE CALLED IT A LEMON. THIS VEHICLE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP WE LEASED THE CHEROKEE FROM DOESN'T EVEN WANT IT BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 7 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED HARD FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR AND THE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY. CHARLIE'S DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM IN MAUMEE, OHIO WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING SERIES OF REPAIRS: THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED, BOTH FRONT AXLES WERE REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE WAS UPGRADED, THE VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED, AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CV JOINT WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 32656386. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

TRANSMISSION JERKS SLAMS IN GEAR DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN HESITATES WHEN STOPPED THEN GOES INTO GEAR DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO BE IN ON THE HIGHWAY TAKES TO LONG TO GO INTO PASSING GEARS

SERVICE LIGHT FOR TRANSMISSION WILL ILLUMINATE WHEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY. IF YOU SLOW DOWN CAR WILL JERK AND MAKE A LOUD CLUNK NOISE. WHEN RESUMING ACCELERATION THIS NOISE HAS TO HAPPEN. THE LIGHT GOES OFF AT TIMES

WHILE DRIVING AT FULL SPEED ON I-10 WEST, MY JEEP CHEROKEE CAME TO A FULL STOP FORCING DRIVERS TO STEER AROUND ME SO AS NOT TO REAR END ME. IT'S DONE THIS 5 TIMES SINCE SUATURDAY THE 18TH OF FEBRUARY. IT SAYS THE VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK BEFORE RELEASING THE BRAKE.

EXTREMELY ROUGH SHIFTING FOR THE FIRST 3 OR 4 GEARS. SHUTTERING BETWEEN GEARS IF I SLOW DOWN AND SPEED BACK UP IN TRAFFIC. IF I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE FIRST GEAR IS A VERY HARD JERK. ITS GETTING SEEMINGLY WORSE THE LONGER I DRIVE IT AND ITS BECOMING VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2017 AND HAD IT LOOKED AT IN MARCH OF 2017. OVERLAND PARK JEEP DEALERSHIP DID A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THIS WAS NO HELP. I'VE CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY SAY THERE'S NO ISSUES OR UPDATES AVAILABLE. TOOK IT IN AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND ANOTHER "SOFTWARE UPDATE" WAS DONE. STILL NO CHANGE. ITS THERE NOW AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY'VE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR 3 DAYS AND ITS "NOT ACTING UP" . SO I ASKED WHAT I SHOULD DO WHEN I PICK IT UP AND ITS STILL HAPPENING. THEY SAID "I GUESS BRING IT BACK". ITS SO UNSAFE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY THINK I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN BRING THE CAR IN AND RENT A CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT AND REMAINED IN THIRD GEAR INSTEAD OF FIRST OR SECOND GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SEEMED AS IF IT WANTED TO STALL. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH POWER TO THE VEHICLE UPON ACCELERATION FROM THIRD GEAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PCM, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,677.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. I WAS DRIVING WHEN I SMELLED SMOKE AND WITHIN 10 SECONDS, THE ENGINE BURST INTO FLAMES. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE HAD ALL THE RECALLS ADDRESSED. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS AND NEITHER THE DEALER NOR CHRYSLER WILL ANYTHING BUT SAY THEY ARE SORRY...UPDATED 02/23/17 *BF UPDATED 03/01/17 *BF *CN

VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. TRANSMISSION DOESN'T NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. DEALER IS UNWILLING TO HELP. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES AND FOR CHECK UPS. THERE ARE HARSH SHIFTS, WOBBLES , DELAYED REACTION WHEN GAS PEDAL APPLIED. JEEP HAS ADVISED THERE IS NO FIX. WHEN MAKING A TURN , AND GAS IS APPLIED, NOTHING HAPPENS. CAUSING TO SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. EXTREMELY JERKY . UNSAFE

TAKATA RECALL - BAD WHEEL BEARING , LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE LIGHT. IN MOTION!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHOTTENKIRK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (678-535-3417, LOCATED AT 200 LIBERTY BLVD, CANTON, GA 30114) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE DEALER WOULD BE CALLED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

TRANSMISSION TROUBLE WITH ONLY 18000 MILES. SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING DISPLAYED. INITIALLY AT DEALER TOLD THE UPDATE WOULD NOT FIX PROBLEM BUT THEN THEY WERE ABLE TO MAGICALLY FIX IT WITH AN UPDATE. VERY CONCERNED SINCE MULTIPLE REPORTS ON NHTSA WITH SIMILAR FIXES THAT DID NOT WORK AND CAR SUDDENLY STOPPING. SERVICE DEPARTMNENT DID NOT FEEL THAT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY OR THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS STATING THIS FIX DID NOT WORK.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW- AT 20K MILES HAD TO HAVE THE GEAR SHIFT MOTHERBOARD REPLACED AFTER THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JOLT WHEN DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. IT WOULD JOLT WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR TAKING OFF. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT NOT RELAYING PROPERLY TO TELL THE CAR TO SHIFT GEARS AND WHAT GEAR TO SHIFT TO. I READ SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS WHERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THAT WAS IN AUG OF 2016. NOW IM HAVING TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I DO ALL MAINTENANCE SERVICE ON TIME SO NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS THIS TIME BUT VERY UPSET THAT MY 1ST BRAND NEW CAR AND I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES SO EARLY ON. ONCE I TAKE IT IN FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT I WILL UPDATE THIS TO REFLECT WHAT I AM TOLD IS THE PROBLEM. *TR
