POWER TRAIN
CAR STARTED HAVING SHIFTING ISSUES WHEN AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, HAD TO TAKE FOOT OF THE GAS FOR IT TO SHIFT. WENT FOR MY OIL CHANGE AND TALKED ABOUT THIS THEY INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT WANT TO 'RECALL' ALL THE VEHICLES SO THEY WERE JUST FIXING IT WITH A NEW COMPUTER CHIP. THEY SAID IF IT CONTINUES TO LET THEM KNOW. WELL, IT'S STILL DOING IT BUT NOW I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR DINGING WHEN TURNING AS IF MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON BUT NOTHING APPEARS ON THE DASH BOARD. YESTERDAY I WENT AROUND A TURN IT DINGED BUT THEN ALSO A MESSAGE APPEAR SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE SHIFTER BEING PUT IN D. THE CAR HAD PRETTY MUCH DIED. TRIED RESTARTING IT WOULD JUST REV. THE BATTERY AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT APPEARED. WE WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN IT FINALLY TURNED OVER. I DO ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK THIS IS THE LAST THING I NEED IS TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE FAILED. LAW SUIT *PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN APRIL 2017, HAS 31,000 HIGHWAY MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE GEAR SHIFTED ABRUPTLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK. IN ADDITION, THE "SERVICE THE SHIFTER" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEITH CHRYSLER JEEP (5500 CAPITAL BLVD, RALEIGH, NC 27616, 919-872-5500) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN UPDATED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SELECTOR BEZEL AND HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER PROMISED TO GET BACK WITH HER WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000.

TRANSMISSION STICKS - AFTER YOU ARE STOPPED AND THEN APPLY THE GAS, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE AND WHEN IT DOES, IT THEN "LAUNCHES" YOU. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT PROPERLY DOWNSHIFT - YOU WILL REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS TO START SLOWING DOWN AND IT SLOWS FOR A BRIEF SECOND AND THEN SURGES. REPAIRED WITH A COMPUTER REPROGRAM ON 5/1/18 AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. JEEP IS WELL AWARE OF THESE TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES AND REFUSES TO RECALL OR TO FIND A REPAIR TO FIX THE ISSUE. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSAND OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WHO HAVE MADE THE ISSUE KNOWN TO JEEP. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017 AND IT ONLY HAS 4150 MILES. I HAVE FILED A CONCERN WITH JEEP CORPORATE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME.

PER JEEP SERVICE THE VEHICLE CONSUMES OIL. WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHT, IT WILL JUST CUTOFF. BOTH TIMES WE EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE LEAVING A STOP SIGN. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN IT DIED. THIS IS THE SECOND PROBLEM IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS A BRAKING ISSUE THAT THE VEHICLE JUMPS WHEN IT YOU LET OFF THE BREAKS AND PUSH THEM AGAIN. THE DEALER DID A FIRMWARE UPGRADE ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT STILL HAS THE ISSUE JUST TO A LESSER EXTENT. I HAVE A CASE WITH FCA CASE #: 33883097 THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH.

TAKATA RECALL; THE CAR KEEP SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING EVERY 2 OR 3 MILES , THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES ON A HIGHWAY AND 2 TIMES WHILE TURNING, THIS IS PUT MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY LIFE AT RISK , AS IT IS UNSAFE THAT THE CAR STOPED AND SHUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADS , MANUFACTURE REFUSED TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM AND THEY WANTED TO USE US AS A TEST MICE, BY ASKING ME TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR 500 MILES TO TEST THE OIL BURN LEVEL IN THE CARWITHOUT CARING ABOUT MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY. PUTTING US IN A DIRECT RISK . OFCOURSE I REFUSED TO DO THIS AS IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE , THE CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE CHANGE , BUT THE JEEP COMPANY DOESN'T WANT TO APPROVE IT , AS THE COST OF REPAIRS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CUSTOMER LIFE, THE CAR USED ONLY FOR 4 MONTH 5000 MILES AND UNDER WARRANTY .

STEERING, WHEELS
I HAVE NOT EVEN OWNED MY VEHICLE A YEAR NOW. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH STEERING SHAKING OR PULLING. I WENT TO GET MY TIRES ROTATED FOR THE FIRST TIME AT A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY STATED THE ALL 4 OF MY TIRES HAD ALL IRREGULAR WEAR ON THEM ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES ONLY. IT WAS BELIEVED TO BE A DEFECT FROM THE BEGINNING WITH THE ALIGNMENT OR ANOTHER STEERING ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED SUCH IRREGULAR WEAR (INCLUDING THE REARS). PER YOUR WARRANTY THE TIRES ARE TO BE ROTATED EVERY 6,000 MILES. I HAD THEM ROTATED AT 7,292 MILES IN WHICH WHEN BROUGHT INTO DO A WARRANTY CLAIM JEEP CLAIMS THAT I DIDN'T DO THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PER THE WARRANTY CLAIM SO THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS OVER 12,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS ALSO TOLD IF IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE THAT THIS IS ONLY COVERED UNTIL 12,000 MILES. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH MY WARRANTY AND DO BELIEVE THIS WAS A DEFECT WITH ALL 4 OF MY TIRES WITH SUCH IRREGULAR WEAR.
