FOLLOWING DAY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH . DEALERSHIP CONTACTED AND VEHICLE BROUGHT IN FOR INSPECTION. DEALER CONCLUDED THAT ENGINE HAD NO OIL, ALTHOUGH INTERNAL INDICATORS FAILED TO ADVISE AND SHOWED VEHICLE HAD 60% OIL LIFE REMAINING AND 3000 MILES UNTIL SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. DEALER ADVISED THAT VEHICLE IS KNOWN TO BURN OIL, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3X ALREADY. THE JEEP CHEREOKEE MANUAL STATES OIL CHANGES SHOULD BE DONE EVERY 8,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN GETTING MY OIL CHANGES WAY BEFORE THE STATED REQUIREMENT OF 8000. THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ENGINE. I HAVE A 10 MONTH BABY AND I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN AND STALLS. IAM SO SCARED FOR MY LIFE EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS ALL I HAVE . I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW!! MY ENGINE IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.

ABOUT 13 MONTHS AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING APPEARED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. IF SO, NOT TO WORRY. THE WARNING APPEARED AGAIN ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER AND CONTINUES TO POP UP RANDOMLY EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT MAY BE A GLITCH THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD FIX, BUT HASN'T BEEN FIXED WITH UPDATES SO FAR. I JUST ROLLED OVER 36,000 MILES SO THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD THE SAME WARNING APPEARED TODAY. I'M CONCERNED THAT NOW THE ISSUE WILL REQUIRE A MAJOR HARDWARE REPLACEMENT THAT THEY WILL RECOMMEND NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. ONE OF MANY ISSUES WITH THIS JEEP. MY FIRST AND LAST TIME BUYING A JEEP.

KEEP GETTING A NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS "SERVICE SHIFTER" DASH LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER THAT LIGHT UP RED P,R,N,D. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THIS IS A PROBLEM, BUT IS NOT A RECALL. I'VE DONE SOME HOMEWORK TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS IN FACT A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP AND HAS BEEN ONGOING. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! AT FIRST THIS THE SERVICE SHIFTER WOULD APPEAR AFTER MY JEEP WAS STARTED AND GO AWAY ONCE I RESTARTED IT AND WOULD NOT APPEAR AGAIN. NOW THE "SERVICED SHIFTER " IS STAYING ON AND NOT ALLOWING ME TO SEE ANYTHING ON MY DASH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOTIFIED ME TO GET IT TO COME OFF I MUST PAY A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE PART. 2 OTHERS WHERE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE AT THE SAME TIME I WAS, AND AS YOU COULD IMAGINE NONE OF US WERE HAPPY TO LEARN THIS WAS NOT A RECALL. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES OF THE FAULTY GEAR SHIFTERS IN THESE JEEPS!!!!! AT FIRST THE NOTIFICATION CAME ON AT START UP, BUT NOW COMES ON WHILE DRIVING!!

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
WHILE IN DRIVE THE JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT (PREMIUM PKG) CAR CUTS OFF IN STREET 3X AND HWY 4X AND ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. CAR ALSO LOSES POWER/SPEED WHILE IN DRIVE AND ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN MAKING A TURN. CAR LOSES SPEED AND DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON BUSY HWY OR STREET.. BOUGHT CAR NEW WITH 16 MILES ON ODOMETER FROM CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER. MANUFACTURE WARRANTY EXPIRED 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM. MILEAGE 63,000 MILES. I HAVE AN EXPENSIVE EXTENDED DEALER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER SAYS ENGINE WILL BE REPLACED W/ NO DEDUCTIBLE AND NO ADDL CUSTOMER COST ACCORDING TO DEALER WARRANTY.. OIL GASKETS BLOWN ALSO WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE RECORD AT CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER.. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE AN EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO REPLACE AN ENGINE FOR A CAR UNDER 5 YEARS OLD. CAR HAS ONE DRIVER 62 YRS OLD, NO ACCIDENTS NO TICKETS IN 15 YEARS THIS IS AWFUL FOR A 3.25 YEAR OLD JEEP!! CAR HAS BEEN AT JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT SINCE DEC 31, 2019 FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS MOSTLY IN THE MORNING AND AFTER MAKING A TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND EVENING. COULD BE A CRANKING ISSUE AS IT HAPPENS MOSTLY WITHIN A HALF HOUR OF STARTING. EVERY INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING HAS BEEN ON A STREET AND WHILE ACCELERATING IN MOTION. BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WILL SHUT OFF.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
WHEN DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE THE VEHICLE HAS DIED OUT COMPLETELY ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A DING NOISE FOLLOWED BY A MESSAGE ON MY DASH BOARD THAT SAYS PUT CAR IN PARK THEN SWITCH INTO GEAR, WHEN I AM ALREADY IN DRIVE AND DRIVING THEN THE CAR STOPS AND THE BRAKES AND STEERING LOCKS UP COMPLETELY THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHES THEN THE WHOLE DASH GOES BLACK. THEN I HAVE TO TRYING TURNING IT OVER A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT WILL FINALLY START WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON OR ANYTHING AFTER IT JUST LOCKED UP AND DIED. THIS VEHICLE HAS DIED SEVERAL TIMES ON ME WHILE TURNING RIGHT, WHILE JUST DRIVING, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THIS HAPPENING AS FAR AS CODES THAT CAN BE BROUGHT UP OR ANYTHING BUT WHEN HE TEST DROVE IT THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM HE MADE A RIGHT ON 12-31 AND THE CAR SAID PUT CAR IN PARK THEN SELECT A GEAR THEN WENT BLACK AND THEN IT TOOK A FEW TIMES FOR THE CAR TO TURN OVER AGAIN, BUT YET AGAIN TURNING ON WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING AFTER, BUT COME TO FIND ONLINE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS NOT ADDRESSED AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO SOLUTION BESIDES BEING IN CONSTANT FEAR THAT YOU CAR IS GOING TO DIE OUT ON YOU. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE THERE ARE LIVES TAKEN. I HAVE A TWO YOUNG TODDLER DAUGHTERS THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN OUR 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE IN FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES!

SIMILAR TO OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE YEAR MODELS, MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, EITHER BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND GEAR OR 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS RIDE WITH MY 2 CHILDREN IN BACK AND THE CAR BASICALLY STOPS WORKING AND CARS IN BACK OF ME HAVE TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES SO TO NOT RUN INTO ME. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, WHETHER CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES OR JUST STARTED.
