POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON MORE THAN SEVERAL OCCASIONS A MESSAGE "SERVICE SHIFTER" IS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY AND ALL LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED ON THE TRANSMISSION PANEL. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT CAN'T BE TAKEN OFF UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, SHUT OFF, AND THEN RESTARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE TO FIX THE ISSUE TWICE IN TWO YEARS. IT IS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK IN THIS COMING WEEK FOR ADDITIONAL WORK. THE FIRST "REPAIR" CONSISTED OF REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER. THE SECOND REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS. THE THIRD WILL BE A BEZEL AND ANOTHER TRANSMISSION ACCESSORY.

IN JANUARY 2019, MY JEEP BEGAN JERKING DURING ACCELERATION. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED ME THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DURING REMOVAL OF THE ENGINE, THE ALTERNATOR WAS DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. TWO MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK AND 10 MILES LATER THE SAME JERK OCCURRED. AFTER IMMEDIATELY RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A RIDE ALONG WITH THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REPAIR TOOK ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. AT WHICH TIME THE FCC REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN EVEN MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. NOW, THREE MONTHS LATER, THE SHIFTER LIGHT HAS COME ON UPON CRANKING THE VEHICLE. WHICH IS ALSO TRANSMISSION RELATED. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR CONSUMERS?

EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON LOCKING OUT ANY SHIFTER CONTROLS. I WAS INSTRUCTED IN ORDER TO RESET TO PULL OVER TO A SAFE PLACE SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESET THE IGNITION. AS THIS HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE IT IS NOT A FEASIBLE SOLUTION. CALLING CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO OPEN ISSUES RECALLS OR WARRANTY FOR ANY SUCH ISSUE. LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND THOUSANDS OF REPORTED ISSUES OF THE SAME THING.

2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED - 36,600 MILES. STARTED MY CAR, PUT IT IN REVERSE AND THE SHIFTER SERVICER MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS WHERE MY SHIFTER IS LOCATED TURNED RED. TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED IT AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND LIGHTS WERE OFF. EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED YESTERDAY AFTER ANOTHER 50 MILES. TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED, SAME RESULTS. IT SCARES ME. I GOOGLED SERVICE SHIFTER JEEP AND SUDDENLY THERE WERE TONS OF COMPLAINTS FOR MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS FOR THE SAME THING. IS THIS CAR SAFE?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT IS RANDOMLY COMING ON - SOMETIMES IN PARK AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THE WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING I CAN NOT SEE MY SPEED OR SPEEDOMETER. SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT MAKE THE ISSUE GO AWAY - UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2-3 WEEKS. I LOOKED THIS UP AND IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH 2016-2017 JEEP CHEROKEES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I DEACTIVATED CRUISE CONTROL AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER I HAD RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL AND SO I PRESSED THE CANCEL CRUISE CONTROL MULTIPLE TIMES AND TAPPED ON THE GAS AND THEN THE BRAKE AFTER THAT MY CAR JERKED AND IT STOPPED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DASH LIGHTED UP WITH THE SHIFTER SERVICE LIGHT AND THEN ALL LIGHTS LEFT OF THE SHIFTER TURNED ON ( P,N,D). IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO FAR WHILE THE CAR IS HEADING DOWN THE ROAD. EACH TIME WE PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN WHEN WE TURN THE CAR ON IT GOES AWAY; AFRAID THAT THIS WILL AFFECT CAR PERFORMANCE SOONER OR LATER. GOT ON INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM BEING EXPERIENCED BY MANY JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS. IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

THE SHIFTER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON THE VEHICLE; THE FIRST TIME IN WARRANTY (2018) AND THE SECOND TIME THIS WEEKEND WHERE I NEEDED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. (JUNE 2019) AT RANDOM TIMES, THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEARS AND THE ENTIRE SHIFTIER PANEL LIGHTS UP. THE CAR ACCELERATES BY ITSELF AND SOMETIMES THE CAR JERKS FORWARD ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK OR I AM ON THE BRAKES.IN RUSH HOUR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC OR LOCAL TRAFFIC SAME THING. I CAN BE DOING 20 MPH OR 75 MPH AND THE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS. I REPORTED THIS TO MY RICK HENDRICKS JEEP DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY SEEN IT BEFORE AS WELL AS NAPLETON IN FLORIDA. I ALSO LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE THAT MULTIPLE 2016 -2018 JEEP OWNERS REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE ONCE THE CAR IS MORE THAN 10,000 MILES. THE CAR CHANGES GEAR BY ITSELF.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS APPEARS ON DASHBOARD AND SHIFTER GEAR LIGHTS ARE ALL IN RED. THE ONLY 'FIX' I HAVE READ ABOUT IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN TO 'RESET' THE CAR COMPUTER. THE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE A CITY STREET. JEEP APPARENTLY DOES NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OR A PERMANENT FIX.

MY VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD, IT HAS JUST POPPED UP WITH A "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE. IT IS NOT ABLE TO BE REBOOTED. ALSO, WHEN THE COMPUTER IS TESTED NOTHING POPS UP TO FIX. VERY FRUSTRATING AND SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF SIMILAR CASES.
