I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE AND ON THE SCREEN APPEARED "SERVICE SHIFTER." ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WERE LIT (INSTEAD OF JUST THE GEAR THAT THE CAR IS IN BEING LIT). THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO OPERATE WITHOUT ANY ISSUES BUT I ONLY DROVE IT A SHORT DISTANCE. WHEN I PARKED, I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN THIS TIME.

POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON RANDOMLY WHEN STARTING THE CAR AND STAYED ON UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT, PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE AND SERVICE EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY BUT SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT STILL COMES ON RANDOMLY WHEN STARTING THE CAR AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO THEN REPLACED THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON RANDOMLY WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE POPS UP CONSTANTLY AND HAS THE LAST TWO YEARS. IT'S RANDOM AND SOMETIMES IT'S WHILE I'M DRIVING. WHICH JUST HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. IF IT COMES ON RIGHT WHEN I START THE ENGINE I CANNOT PUT MY CAR INTO ANY GEAR. I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY FOR IT TO CLEAR. AFTER WHICH THE FIRST TEN MINUTES OF DRIVING IS ROUGH AND THE CAR SHIFTS BADLY. SOMETIMES ACCELERATION IS POOR AFTER. ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER TURN RED. VERY DANGEROUS

I HAVE HAD A THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 60 DAYS, AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, I DROVE HOME TURNED IT OFF AND THEN WHEN I RESTATED THE VEHICLE IT IS NO LONGER ON. DEALER IS UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES AND HAS NEVER HEAD OF THIS, SO NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND ALL THE PARTS AND I DO HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY POWERTRAIN. THERE ARE OVER 600 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT FIRST CAME ON AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2017 JEEP. THE WARRANTY TOOK CARE OF THE FIRST ISSUE THEN IT CAME ON AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT. IT WENT AWAY AFTER I WOULD RESTART THE CAR. I ADDRESS THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO RECALLS. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT WOULD ALWAYS GO AWAY. TODAY MY JEEP AS I WAS PULLING INTO A STREET, THE JEEP STARTED STALLING AND THE DASHLIGHT SAID TO "STEP ON BRAKE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE", THEN THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. IT STALLED OUT AND I COULD NOT START IT. AFTER I SAT THERE A WHILE, I TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED. (35 DEGREES).

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND ALL SHIFTER LIGHTS COME ON (PARK, REVERSE, DRIVE, ETC. ALL LIT UP AT ONCE) REPLACEMENT NEEDED IS SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS. DEALER SAYS ITS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS NOT COVERED BY JEEP WARRANTY, BUT IS VERY COMMON. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING RIGHT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR TO NEUTRAL AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVATED. ALSO, THE SERVICE AIR BAG, SERVICE SHIFTER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FURTHERMORE, ALL THE SHIFTER LIGHTS CAME ON. WHILE SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON TO RESET IT, THEN I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO MY HOUSE 5 MILES AWAY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE A SCHEDULED DIAGNOSIS WITH MY DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE CENTER IN SEVEN DAYS. I MADE THE APPOINTMENT WHEN THE FIRST TIME THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. THEY DID NOT ADVISE ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. BUT, AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

UPON STARTING JEEP RECEIVED MESSAGE "SERVICE SHIFTER" AND ALL THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE LIT AND MESSAGE CENTER IS INOPERATIVE EXCEPT FOR THAT MESSAGE. SHUTTING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING RESETS, ONLY TO COME BACK AFTER A FEW STARTS. JEEP DEALERSHIP CHARGES $145 TO TELL YOU WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT IS NOT SURE IF THAT WILL FIX PROBLEM. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH 2016-2018 JEEP CHEROKEE'S BUT CAR IS PAST 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAS 14,500 MILES ON IT, JEEP WILL NOT REPAIR AT N/C. WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ FOR SAME ISSUE, WHY ISN'T A RECALL IN ORDER ? APPARENTLY, IF YOU DON'T GET IT FIXED, SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE MAY BECOME INOPERABLE, OR WILL NOT SHIFT TO PARK. THE TEMPORARY FIX APPEARS TO BE , SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND RESTART. NOT A VERY GOOD THING.

WAS ON THE WAY OUT OF TOWN FOR THE WEEKEND DRIVING AT 65MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS UP ON MY CONSOLE AND ALL LIGHTS (GEARS) ON THE ACTUAL SHIFTER CONSOLE LIGHT UP AS WELL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACED IN PARK, STILL ALL LIGHTS REMAINED ON LEAVING ME PUZZLED. I PROCEEDED ON CAUTIOUSLY AWARE OFF WHAT WAS OCCURRING, AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF.. FINDING THAT RESTARTING THE VEHICLE EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. UNFORTUNATELY IT KEEPS REPEATING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER FOR AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES NOW. BESIDES THE ONGOING PROBLEM IT ALSO IS UNSAFE AS IT ACTUALLY STARTLES YOU WHEN IN TRAFFIC WHEN IT DINGS AND EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP ! APPARENTLY ITS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH JEEP WITH MULTIPLE OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR A PERMANENT FIX TO THIS UN SAFE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SEVERELY INJURED OR A LIFE IS LOST.....

I WAS MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, SORT OF FAST- BETWEEN 10-15 MPH. AFTER I MADE THE SHARP LEFT TURN AND STARTED TO TURN RIGHT TO GO STRAIGHT AND PARK, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK JUST FINE. I INSTANTLY TURNED MY CAR OFF WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND STARTED MY CAR AGAIN AND THE WARNING WAS GONE. HASN'T COME BACK ON SINCE. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING A LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS TO SERVICE SHIFTER. EVERY TIME IT HAS COME ON, I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN IT WILL GO OFF. I'M WORRIED BECAUSE I'VE HEARD OTHERS AND THEIR BRAKES LOCKING UP AND GETTING INTO A WRECK...ON THE DASH READS PARK. WE HAVE ALSO HAD A LIGHT COME ON THE SPEEDOMETER THAT BLINKS AND THEN MAKES A LOUD BEEP BEEP BEEP. IT DOES GO OFF EVENTUALLY. THE WORST YET IS WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR, THE BRAKE LOCKS UP AND IT WON'T START OR TURN OVER. WE HAD TO TOW IT TO A MECHANIC TO GET IT LOOKED AT. FINALLY AFTER TRYING MANY THINGS, HE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT BEGAN TO WORK. EVERY NOW AND THEN, IT DOES THE SAME THING, BUT IF I BREATHE JUST RIGHT IT STARTS.

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL AND EVEN THOUGH THE OIL LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND DIE WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT'S BURNING OIL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AS THERE IS NO INDICATION OF ANY LOW OIL UNTIL THE STALL. KEEP NEEDS TO FIX THIS OR WILL BE SUED WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS BECAUSE OF AN ENGINE STALL WITHOUT ANY INDICATORS

MY 2017 JEEP HAD JUST TURNED OVER 30,000 MILES WHEN A SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH. ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE CONSOLE WHERE THE SHIFTER SITS. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN ONE WEEK. I PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, RESTARTED IT AND THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY. IT DID IT WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT. THEN IT APPEARED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY ENDED IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR SO OF COURSE I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IF I LET IT GO AND DIDN'T FIX IT, EVENTUALLY, IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. UPON GOOGLING THIS PROBLEM I SEE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS. I AM UPSET AND WONDERING WHY THIS IS NOT A FACTORY RECALL ISSUE. I DO NOT BELIEVE A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 30,000 ACTUAL MILES ON IT SHOULD BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I READ MANY STORIES SIMILAR TO MINE. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! JACKIE PRASNICKI
