EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY INADEQUATE. HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM THE BEAM PATTERN IS VERY NARROW. WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY PEDESTRIANS ARE BARELY VISIBLE IN FRONT AND TO THE SIDES NOT LIT UP VERY DIM. MANY ACCIDENTS BARELY AVOIDED. WHEN DRIVING ROAD IS BARELY VISIBLE NOT LIT ENOUGH, VERY DARK. ALMOST DROVE OFF ROAD DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY,VERY DARK. PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF POOR HEADLIGHTS. HIGH BEAMS ARE NOT ANY BETTER. MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE. COMPANY JEEP CHRYSLER NOW OFFER OPTIONAL HID LIGHTING STANDARD IN NEW VEHICLES. BUT NOT IN OLDER VERSION LEFT UNFIXED AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM BUT WON'T ADMIT. HEADLIGHTS MUST BE REPLACED WITH UPGRADE OR RISK DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. HEADLIGHTS ARE WAY TOO DIM , LIKE THEY AREN'T EVEN ON WHEN DRIVING. MUST TEST DRIVE TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. ALL CIRCUMSTANCES ARE DANGEROUS, HIGHWAY, CITY, TURNING, SLOW, FAST. NO NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY. *TR

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR KEPT NOTICING TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY. IT WOULD JERK AND LURCH MAKING ME THINK I WAS NOT APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR CORRECTLY. AFTER SEVERAL (3) COMPLAINTS AND TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT I DECIDED TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS THEN I FOUND OUT FROM A HONDA DEALER EMPLOYEE THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST JEEP. THE JEEP IN QUESTION WAS RELEASED WITHOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THE NINE SPEED TRANSMISSION WORKED OUT. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO BE DRIVING A NEW VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T RUN LIKE ONE. *TR

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE OF EVENTS HAVE HAPPENED. 1. "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARS. MESSAGE READS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION". 2. IMMEDIATELY TRANSMISSION NO LONGER RESPONDS. 3. TURN OFF VEHICLE. UPON RESTARTING "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT REMAINS ON BUT VEHICLE RETURNS TO FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. 4. TAKE VEHICLE IN TO CHECK THE TROUBLE CODE. UPON RESTARTING VEHICLE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT NO LONGER APPEARS. THE ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED AT AROUND 31,500 MILES WHILE TRAVELING SURFACE ROADS AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN UNRELATED RECALL NOTICE AND INFORMED THEM OF THE OTHER ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FOR ANY AND ALL ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME AND I WAS ASSURED THERE WAS NO ISSUE. AT AROUND 34,000 MILES THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN; THIS TIME IT HAPPENED DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. UPON TAKING IT IN TO AN AUTOZONE THE TROUBLE CODE READ "P0887 TCM POWER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH". THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY AREN'T AWARE OF THAT CODE AND IT IS CURRENTLY IN THEIR POSSESSION TO INVESTIGATE. *TR

THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY SHIFTS HARD, OR DOES NOT SHIFT WHEN SUPPOSED TO. CONSTANT JERKING OF VEHICLE WHEN SPEEDING UP. SOMETIMES WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY WILL DO "COMPUTER UPDATES", BUT IT DOES NOT HELP.

I PURCHASED THE CHEROKEE A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAVE BEEN PLAGUED WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT JERKS AND WILL SURGE WHILE IN PARK. IT WON'T CHANGE GEARS AS IT SHOULD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THEY DID "FLASHES" AND "RELEARNS" FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PERFORMING EXACTLY AS BEFORE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

TAKATA RECALL THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WHILE SHIFTING IN LOWER GEARS 1-3. THE CAR WILL REV HIGH AND GIVE A JERK BEFORE SHIFTING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN AT A STOP AND YOU BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THIS ALSO OCCURS IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. ALSO, IT EXPERIENCES ISSUES WHEN MERGING INTO A HIGHWAY OR LANE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 35ISH. WHEN MAKING A TURN AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR WILL ALSO HESITATE AND GIVE A LITTLE JERK. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN TRAVELING AT 30-35 THE CAR IS IN 5TH GEAR WHICH IN RETURN WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE IT HAS TO DOWN SHIFT TO TAKE OFF WHICH THERE IS A DELAY BEFORE ACCELERATION OCCURS. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS.
