WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE ABOVE VEHICLE. WE HAVE NOTICED EXTREMELY HARD AND UNTIMELY SHIFTING OF GEARS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON NOVEMBER 29, 2018 AND WAS ADVISED THERE IS A RECALL (S55). THE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT FIX THE MATTER. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION CLAIM THAT WE ARE NOW A PARTICIPANT IN REGARDING THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4, WHEN I TRY TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SPEED UP. IT IS LIKE YOU ARE GIVING IT GAS INSTEAD OF APPLYING THE BREAK. IT WAS PURCHASED WITH AROUND 13500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER ON 9-22-2018, IT NOW HAS 21360 MILES AS OF 11-27-2018. THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE AND ACTED AS IF IT WAS NOT IN ANY GEAR. IT HAS SEAMED TO HAVE ISSUES FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED IT AND I WAS TOLD BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS JUST THE NORMAL WAY THAT THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION WORKED. IF THIS IS NORMAL FOR A TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AT 21000 MILES I FEEL THAT IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND A HUGE ISSUE.

ENGINE
WHEN SHIFTING THE SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR COMES ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFT LIGHT UP RED. YOU HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN FINALLY RESTART IT BEFORE THE ERROR WILL GO AWAY. THE ERROR WILL ALSO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING WHICH THEN REMOVES THE SPEEDOMETER FROM THE DASH AND ONLY DISPLAYS THE ERROR UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE SEPTEMBER 2018 WITH 64,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE STREET, THE VEHICLE WILL JERK REALLY HARD LIKE IT IS CHANGING GEARS. IF I AM PUTTING VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND LEAVING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY, THE VEHICLE JERKS. WHENEVER I AM DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED (0-45MPH) THE VEHICLE JERKS. WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, LIKE A STOP SIGN, RED LIGHT, OR HEAVY TRAFFIC, VEHICLE JERKS ONCE I ACCELERATE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALER TO BE SERVICED ON NOVEMBER 3, 2018 REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS BUT THERE WAS AN UPDATE (RRT) COMPLETED ON VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2018 FOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SERVICES AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS TOLD VEHICLE IS NOT SHOWING ANY PROBLEMS BUT MY THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACING DUE TO THERMOSTAT RATIONALITY CODE. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR A FUTURE DATE TO THE SERVICE. ALSO HAD LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FIXED WAS TOLD THE BULB DIDN'T NEED REPLACING THAT SOMEHOW IT CAME UNSCREWED. HEADLIGHT WAS WORKING BEFORE I LEFT, LATER ON THAT DAY HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. I LIVE IN HOUSTON WHERE THE TEMPS RE NOW IN THE 50S HIGHS 60S AND I HAD MY HEATER ON, ALL OF A SUDDEN I STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE LIKE OIL SMOKE. BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS COMING ON ON MY DASHBOARD. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL WHY IS MY AUTOMATIC VEHICLE DRIVING LIKE IT'S MANUAL AND WITH IT ONLY HAVING 1 PREVIOUS OWNER THAT ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING???

WHILE FLAT TOWING OUR JEEP LATITUDE BEHIND OUR MOTOR HOME AT 45MPH THE JEEP BEGAN TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. WE BOUGHT THE JEEP BRAND NEW IN 2015. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED WE NEEDED TO INSTALL A SPECIAL WIRE HARNESS. THE JEEP DEALER INSTALLED OUR TOWING PACKAGE SO THEY NEW IT WAS GOING TO BE TOWED. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS TUESDAY TO TRY AND REMEDY THIS DEATH WOBBLE AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. WE ARE LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT. FROM DOING RESEARCH ON SOCIAL MEDIA I WAS DIRECTED TO BULLETIN KL-08-022-16. WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION ON THIS BULLETIN. NOW OUR WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT.

VERY SIMPLE, WHEN SHIFTING FROM 4 TO 5TH GEARS IN AN AUTOMATIC IT WILL BANG AND SHIFT VERY HARD. IT WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN INTO FIRST WITHOUT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT HESITATES AND IS VERY UNREADABLE. IN MY OPINION A SAFETY HAZARD. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL IT PRODUCES AN ENGINE CODE OR BREAKS. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SOLENOID SHIFTING AND COMPUTER TALKING TO ONE ANOTHER. CHRYSLER I THINK HAS CHANGE THE NEXT YEAR TRANSMISSION DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS A COMMON OCCURRENCE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING, I HEARD A "DING" WHICH DIRECTED MY EYES TO THE SCREEN ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAD A MESSAGE THAT SAID "CAR MUST BE STOPPED TO SHIFT" "SHIFT INTO PARK". ALREADY CONFUSED, MY CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, AND I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY CAR. THIS IS NOT OKAY. I TURNED MY HAZARDS ON AND TURNED OFF MY CAR COMPLETELY. WHILE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I HAD TO WAIT A TOTAL OF 5 MINUTES BEFORE MY CAR WOULD TURN ON AGAIN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS, AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS, AS THEY CLAIM THEY ARE THE MOST AWARDED AMERICAN SUV. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE NOW.

MY 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE EXHIBITS A ROLLING STOP CONDITION WHICH HAPPENS BETWEEN 1-8 MPH. WHEN PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE RPMS CLIMB BUT VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE. SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR FROM THIRD AND SQUEALS THE TIRES PROPELLING IT FORWARD. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC,OR SLOWING DOWN MAKING A TURN IF I HAVE NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AND HESITATES TO ACCELERATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, WHEN IT DOES FINALLY SHIFT IT IS VERY HARD AND WILL LUNGE THE VEHICLE FORWARD.
