IT FIRST STARTED WITH 911 VEHICLE PHONE "VEHICLE PHONE REQUIRES SERVICE" PLEASE CONTACT DEALER. THEN AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE DISPLAY WILL TAKE A WHILE TO TURN ON, AT ONE POINT DURING THAT TIME I WENT TO TURN ON MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, IT SAID "KEY FOB NOT FOUND" WHEN KEY WAS WITH ME. IT DID FINALLY TURN ON AFTER I REMOVED THE KEY FROM FOB. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID SOME UPDATES ON IT, COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER. WAS WORKING FINE AFTER THAT, BUT TWO DAYS LATER I GOT THE INITIAL MESSAGE FROM ABOVE AND MY GPS WAS NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WILL DO UPDATES AGAIN. DEALER CAME BACK AND SAID DURING THE UPDATES THE RADIO WENT (STOP WORKING)AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIO. THEY ORDERED ONE, I TOOK IT IN FOR REPLACEMENT AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAYS, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY ARE WAITING ON FACTORY TO ADVISE THEM.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT FIXED BEFORE. LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITHIN 3 MONTHS AFTER GETTING IT FIXED. I SAW A POST ON FACEBOOK ABOUT A LADY THAT HAD IT HAPPEN TO HER 2017 CHEROKEE. SHE STATED THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND THAT HER WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE AND THE CAR SPED UP AND SHE CRASHED. CHRYSLER IS INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY.

NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND FREEWAY, "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" APPEARS ON DASHBOARD FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOSE POWER, LOSS OF DRIVE. PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T WORK. VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK OR TURN THE ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE WILL THEN HAVE POWER AGAIN. ALSO HAVE HAD VEHICLE ATTEMPT TO SHIFT WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT. WARNING CAME UP ON DASHBOARD STATING YOU HAVE TO BE IN PARK BEFORE SHIFTING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE LOST POWER, LOSS OF DRIVE. HAD TO PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2014-2017 JEEP CHEROKEES FOR PTU, JULY 2020, NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 20V343000, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WAS ADVISED BY FCA TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE ISSUE, BUT WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I DON'T FEEL THAT IS REASONABLE SINCE MY VEHICLE IS PERFORMING THE WAY THE RECALL SUMMARY DESCRIBES. I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING ALL YEAR STARTING JAN 2020 UP UNTIL NOW, SEPT 2020.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, MY VEHICLE DINGED AND THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY SHOWED SERVICE SHIFTER. I LOOK AT THE GEAR SHIFT, WHICH WAS STILL IN DRIVE, AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO AT RANDOM TIMES: ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING, WHILE AT STOP SIGNS, WHEN STARTING THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY. SOMETIMES I WILL GO WEEKS WITHOUT A PROBLEM, OTHER TIMES I WILL GO MINUTES. THE CURRENT WORK AROUND IS TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON.

THE SUNROOF WILL NOT CLOSE. WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED TO AUTO-CLOSE THE SUNROOF, THE ROOF BEGINS TO CLOSE BUT STOPS 3-5 INCHES FROM FULL CLOSE AND THEN REOPENS FULLY. IT TAKES THREE ATTEMPTS TO AUTO-CLOSE BEFORE THE SYSTEM STOPS AUTO-CLOSE AND THEN YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE CLOSE BUTTON FOR IT TO FULLY CLOSE. I'VE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE DURING WARRANTY BUT IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS BEEN ON PRETTY MUCH SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE. HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO ORILEYS AND WAS TOLD CODES WERE EITHER TRANSMISSION OR FIRING. I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE COIL PACKS. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE OF IT BOGGING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. LIKE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT. IF U PUT IT IN MANUAL IT WOULD WORK. COIL PACKS FIXED ALL THAT. NOW MY WIFE DRIVES VEHICLE IN DETROIT TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE JUST SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN FLOW OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. VEHICLE LIKE WANTING TO STOP IMMEDIATELY AND ALMOST GET REAR ENDED.
