2014 Jeep Cherokee Complaint Log

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOW TRAFFIC ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE ERROR WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH HUD AND THE GEAR SELECTOR D WAS FLASHING. ANOTHER WARNING APPEARED IN THE HUD THAT STATED "SERVICE TRANSMISSION", AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT. AS THIS BEGAN I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND BEGAN DRIFTING BACKWARD, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THE ENGINE HAD DIED BUT I COULD STILL HEAR IT WAS ON SO I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL BUT COULDN'T MOVE FORWARD. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND AS I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, ANOTHER WARNING APPEARED STATING THAT I SHOULD PUT IT IN PARK BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT (I WAS IN PARK AT THE TIME) SO I WENT AHEAD AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE BUT THE ENTIRE CAR JERKED AND MADE A VERY LOUD THUD THAT SOUNDED AS IF I WAS SHIFTING INTO ANOTHER GEAR WHILE FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GO FORWARD, I COULD BARELY MOVE EVEN THOUGH I WAS APPLYING FULL THROTTLE AND THE RPMS WERE REDLINED. I COULDN'T GO ANY FASTER THAN 15 MPH FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY TRIP (I ONLY HAD A MILE TO GO SINCE I WAS ALMOST HOME) AND THE RPMS STAYED REDLINED FOR ABOUT HALF THAT TIME BUT I WAS NEVER ABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER THAT 15 MPH FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. WHEN I GOT TO MY DRIVEWAY, I PUT IT IN PARK AGAIN AND OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE WAS IDLING MUCH LOUDER THAN USUAL. *TR

WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/SCREEN LIT UP WITH THE FOLLOWING: CEL ON ABS/BRAKE LIGHTS ON SERVICE PARKING BRAKE ON 4X4 SYSTEM DISABLED ODOMETER FLASHING UPON ALL THOSE MESSAGES/LIGHTS COMING ON WE LOST ALL POWER STEERING CONTROL TO THE VEHICLE. SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE INTERACTION INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. ONCE SAFELY PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN TO THE SAME MESSAGES/LIGHTS TURNING ON. WE REGAINED POWER STEERING AFTER WE TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON BUT ALL OTHER ISSUES PERSISTED. CALLED FOR A TOW BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER CLAIMED IT WAS A BAD ABS MODULE. I AM FILING A SAFETY COMPLAINT FOR POOR ELECTRICAL DESIGN IF AN ABS MODULE HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING DOWN THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE 2014 CHEROKEE THIS CAN POSE A SERIOUS HAZARD TO ALL VEHICLE OPERATORS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS CHANGE GEARS IMMEDIATELY WHEN GOING FROM HIGH SPEED (70) TO A LOWER SPEED (45). IT STAYS IN THE HIGHER GEAR AND THEN WILL JERK INTO THE LOWER GEAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT I KEEP BEING ADVISED THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. BELIEVE ME, THERE IS A PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND HAD TO HAVE BOTH FRONT TIE RODS REPLACED. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A JEEP CHEROKEE TO ANYONE. *TR

WHILE PARKING IN INDOOR GARAGE THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED OUTWARD LEAVING A LARGE AREA OF GLASS SHARDS. THE FORCE OF THE EXPLOSION WAS SO GREAT THAT IT DISLODGED THE WIPER BLADE MOTOR FROM ITS BRACKET. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS STANDING THERE. HOWEVER, IF SOMEONE WAS THERE THEY WOULD HAVE SUFFERED MULTIPLE SEVERE LACERATIONS! *TR

SIMILAR TO WHAT OCCURRED WITH THE OTHER POSTS, ON SATURDAY MY CAR STALLED WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. DISABLED, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF SOME HELPFUL GENTLEMEN, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME. ON SUNDAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST REPORTEDLY STATED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN A SUBSEQUENT CALL IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I PICKED THE REPAIRED CAR UP AS DIRECTED AND THEN THE CAR STALLED. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED AS THE CAR WAS DISABLED WITH THE HAZARD LIGHTS. I MANAGED TO COAST THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT BY USING THE ADVICE OF THE GENTLEMEN AND THEN CALLED THE DEALER, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE CAR ABRUPTLY STALLED. THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT START FOR ME TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. I WAS ASKED TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, I REFUSED. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SALES, THE DEALER SENT TWO PEOPLE TO BRING THE CAR BACK AND THE PERSON DRIVING MY CAR STATED IT STALLED TWICE BUT HE KNEW HOW TO GET THE CAR GOING. MONDAY I MISSED WORKED, TUESDAY THEY PROVIDED A RENTAL, TODAY I PICKED UP THE CAR, AND TONIGHT I AM IN A DEALER'S RENTAL THAT WILL NEED TO BE EXCHANGED FOR ANOTHER RENTAL TOMORROW. THIS HAS BEEN A TAXING EXPERIENCE THAT IS NOT EXPECTED FOR A CAR THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW AT THE END OF APRIL. THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP BUT FROM WHAT I AM READING, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,100.

WE LEASED THIS CAR IN 3/14 WITH THE THOUGHT OF PROBLEM FREE DRIVING. THE FIRST WEEK WE FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS HOPPING WHEN SHIFTING. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SQUEAK WHEN YOU TURNED IT (FOUND THAT ODD). TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THEY DID A FLASH CHANGE BUT DID NOT ROAD TEST IT. THEY SAID WE NEED STRUTS AND THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER TILL WHO KNOWS WHEN. SO NOW WE SET HERE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BUT STILL HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS. I AM A 68 YEAR OLD WOMEN WHO DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE A YEAR OLD CAR. OH BTW THE CAR STILL DOES HOP WHEN IT SHIFTS. CAN ANYONE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO TURN THIS CAR IN? *TR

5 RECALLS SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW SEPTEMBER 2014 . WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS, CAR SOMETIMES WON'T MOVE THEN JERKS INTO MOTION & OTHER TIMES IT STARTS OFF IN 3RD GEAR. SOON AFTER PURCHASE, NOTICED EXTREME CONDENSATION INSIDE WINDOWS. BACK RIGHT FLOOR BOARD WAS SOAKED WITH WATER? & CONDENSATION UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT. DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. MOST RECENTLY ,RADIO DISPLAY NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NOTICED GETTING SHOCKED WHEN OPENING THE DOOR. REAR HATCH SOMETIMES WON'T OPEN THE THE POWER LIFT BUTTON IS PUSHED

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING 60MPH. I MERGED INTO LEFT LANE AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TO SPEED LIMIT. REACHED 65MPH AND TRANSMISSION STALLED AND THREW MY VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. I HAD TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER TO TURN OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AS WELL AS MESSAGE TO CHECK TRANSMISSION. AFTER RETURNING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON 9/22/14 WITH MILEAGE AT 1195. *TR

THE VEHICLE WOBBLES AND SHAKES DUE TO A JERKY MOVEMENT WHEN IT SHIFT TO 2ND GEAR. IT DRIVES WITH JERK ALL THROUGHOUT 2ND GEAR TILL IT CHANGES INTO 3RD GEAR. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND I SHOULD WAIT FOR BREAK IN BUT THE SAME STILL CONTINUES AND MY ODOMETER READS 1900. I FEEL LIKE IT IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CLUTCH PLATES FOR 2ND GEAR. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, WITH 4,658 MILES ON IT AND WITHIN THE FIRST DAY, WE NOTICED THE EXTREMELY ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND 4TH GEARS. AFTER SEVERAL PCM REPROGRAMS AND A NEW TRANSMISSION, IT IS STILL DOING THE ROUGH SHIFTING AND CONTINUES TO WORSEN. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE ACCELERATOR IS INCONSISTENT, SLUGGISHLY MOVING FORWARD ON ONE OCCASION AND LUNGING FORWARD AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS MASHED TO THE FLOOR ON THE NEXT. SAME CAN BE SAID FOR BRAKING; ROUGH DOWN SHIFTING AND OFTEN TIMES FEELING AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE AS IF THE GAS PEDAL IS STILL PRESSED EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE IS BEING APPLIED. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT, I STARTED THE VEHICLE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SHIFTED IT TO DRIVE, THEN BEGAN TO RELEASE THE PRESSURE FROM THE BRAKE TO INCH FORWARD, WHEN IT SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD NEARLY STRIKING MY PARENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE NOW SEEMS TO BE DRIVING ITSELF. WHEN ENTERING MY NEIGHBORHOOD DOING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH, UPON LETTING UP ON THE GAS COMPLETELY, THE VEHICLE MAINTAINS THE RPMS AND SPEED ON A FLAT SURFACE AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON. WE HAVE FILED FOR THE MD LEMON LAW WITH CHRYSLER, BUT AFTER A TEST DRIVE WITH ONE OF THE THEIR REPS WHERE THE CAR WAS NOT AS VIOLENT IN THE SHIFTING BUT STILL QUITE ROUGH, THE REP DECLARED THE VEHICLE AS 'PERFORMING AS DESIGNED' AND ITS THE ADAPTIVE LEARNING OF THE VEHICLE AND CLOSED THE CASE.THIS VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE AND INCONSISTENT, AND QUITE FRANKLY, UNSAFE AND NERVE RACKING TO DRIVE. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE NOR RIDE IN IT ANY LONGER FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT, NOR WILL SHE ALLOW OUR SON TO RIDE IN IT. IN MY 28 YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER OWNED NOR DRIVEN A VEHICLE THAT ACTUALLY MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE IN. AS I STATED TO THE REP ON THE TEST DRIVE: WITH THIS VEHICLE, IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF THIS THING GETS IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT RATHER WHEN! *TR

FROM A STOP THE 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE 3.2VVT V6 4X4 OFTEN CREATES A WOBBLE FEEL WHILE SHIFTING THROUGH LOWER GEARS. THE JEEP'S WOBBLE ISN'T FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL BUT THE PASSENGERS CAN FEEL THE WOBBLE AND ALSO THE DRIVER CAN FEEL IN IN THE GAS PEDAL UPON ACCELERATION. UPON DECELERATION THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A HARD CLUNK FEEL WHEN NEARING A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT FEEL THE VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED. *LATEST UPDATES WERE APPLIED BY THE DODGE DEALER WITH NO CHANGE IN DRIVE ABILITY. *TR

JUST RECEIVED MY THIRD SAFETY RECALL TODAY...P67. P14, BRAKE BOOSTER AND P36, SUN VISOR WIRING ARE YET TO BE FIXED. P14 DATES BACK TO THIS FALL 2014. I'VE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST SINCE THAT TIME. THE DEALERSHIP, PATRIOT CHRYSLER DODGE IN MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, MD SAYS THEY CANNOT GET THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALLS. IS THIS RIDICULOUS? PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE WOBBLES AND SWAYS WHEN FLAT TOWING BEHIND CONSUMERS MOTOR HOME AND PARKING BRAKE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE WOBBLING OR SWAYING OCCURRED WHEN A ROUGH SPOT WAS HIT IN THE ROAD. THE CONSUMER STATED THE INCIDENT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND CAN NOT ALWAYS BE DUPLICATED. *JB...UPDATED 03-10-16 *BF UPDATED 11/01/2017*CN

WHEN TOWING THE 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE BEHIND MY RV AND DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROAD SURFACES, RUTTED ROAD SURFACES OR UNEVEN RAILROAD CROSSINGS, THE STEERING AXLE STARTS TO OSCILLATE AND SHAKES THE RV AND JEEP VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE OSCILLATION IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN OPERATING ON FREEWAYS OR STATE HIGHWAYS. I HAVE (1) HAD THE RV INSPECTED AND (2) PURCHASED A NEW TOW BAR WITH AN IMMOBILIZER KIT (FACTORY INSTALLED) AND HAD THE JEEP CHEROKEE (3) ALIGNED (COMPUTERIZED). I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS CENTERED AROUND THE 2014 REDESIGNED MODEL IN WHICH JEEP UTILIZES A RACK AND PINION STEERING SYSTEM THAT PERMITS THE STEERING AXLE TO OSCILLATE WHILE BEING TOWED IN ALL WHEEL NEUTRAL. THE 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE IS THE 3RD JEEP THAT I HAVE TOWED BEHIND A RV. THE PRIOR JEEPS WERE BOTH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (2007 AND 2012) AND I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH EITHER ONE. THE OSCILLATING PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE REDESIGNED 2014 MODEL. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP INSPECTED AT SEVERAL JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN AND COULD NOT FIND A CAUSE OF THE CONCERN BY ROAD TESTING THE JEEP. THE ROAD TEST ULTILIZED CONSISTED OF TEST DRIVING THE JEEP. THE OSCILLATING ISSUE IS NOT WHILE "DRIVING" THE JEEP - IT IS WHILE "TOWING" THE JEEP IN ALL WHEEL NEUTRAL.

MY CAR WILL SHIFT HARD IN REVERSE, SOMETIMES INTO DRIVE, AND ALSO FROM 1ST GEAR INTO 2ND GEAR. ALSO, WHEN TURNING, AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, I NOTICE THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS IN SLOW MOTION AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE, EVEN IF I AM STEPPING HARD ON THE PEDAL. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS WHEN CLIMBING IN ELEVATION. MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING UP IN ELEVATION, AND WILL BE STUCK IN 4TH GEAR UNABLE TO SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR. THE PROBLEM ALL SEEMS TO REVOLVE AROUND THIS NEW 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAVE CHECKED THE COMPUTER TO FIND NOTHING. I AM UPDATED ON ALL OF MY RECALLS. I WAS TOLD NEXT TIME, "I SHOULD BUY A V6" BY THE DEALERSHIP.

VEHICLE SURGES AHEAD WHEN STOPPED, OR HESITATES ON ACCELORATION AND SOMETIMES SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN ACCELORATING. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND SO FAR THERE HAVE BEEN 3 SOFTWARE UPGRADES THAT AREN'T HELPING

WHEN FLAT TOWING OUR 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH ACTIVE DRIVE II ON A ROUGH ROAD AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CAR VIBRATED SO BADLY IT SHOOK OUR 30,000 LB MOTORHOME SO BADLY THAT WE HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP THE RIG AND THEN RESUME MOVEMENT. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WE WERE ON HWY 116 NEAR PETALUMA, CA AND WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE ROADWAY HAD NO VERGE. IT WAS ONLY BY LUCK THAT WE DID NOT WRECK OR CAUSE A WRECK. OWNER FORUMS INDICATE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS. WHY DOESN'T CHRYSLER MOTORS HAVE TO FIX THIS? WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE SAM GENERAL AREA BUT THERE WAS NO SAFE PLACE FOR US TO PULL OVER AND DISCONNECT THE JEEP. PLEASE HELP US.

PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY..AS I STEPPED ON BRAKES CAR ACCELERATED CRASHING INTO MY SISTER CAR..PUSHING IT INTO NEXT YARD.CONTINUE THRU AND TAKING DOWN PART OF OUR TENT DRAGGING CHAISE LOUNGE THROUGH BUSHES AND CRASHING INTO NEIGHBORS SHED WHICH WAS ON BLOCKS.FINALLY STOPPING. *TR

VEHICLE DIED AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, ALSO WILL START OFF SLOW AND RPM'S WILL GO ALL THE WAY OVER TO 5RPMS, VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES YOU WILL HAVE YOUR ACCELERATE WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND VEHICLE IS GOING SLOW. IF YOU STOP AND NEED TO START GOING AGAIN, VEHICLE WILL AMP UP BUT WILL NOT GO, HAVE ALMOST GOT HIT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS HAPPENING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CAIR AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE MUCH HELP AFTER SECOND OPINION OF VEHICLE. AIR CONDITIONING FLOW VOLUME DECREASES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AIR FLOW DROPS FROM 5.7 TO 4.4 AND WARM AIR WILL CIRCULATE AFTER ONLY DRIVING VEHICLE 10 MINUTES. HAVE TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND VEHICLE STILL CONTINUES TO HAVE SAME ISSUES.

WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, I TURNED MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON DUE TO RAIN. AS SOON AS THE WIPERS CAME ON, THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WENT BLACK AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO MONITOR SPEED OR VIEW RADIO, GPS, OR OTHER PANELS. THE HEADLIGHTS ALSO DIMMED SOMEWHAT. AS SOON AS WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION, I GOOGLED FOR PROBLEMS WITH WIPERS AND FOUND VARIOUS BLOGS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM ON 2014 JEEP CHEROKEES. THE ONLY ADVICE ONLINE WAS TO DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSOR. AFTER DISABLING THE AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSOR, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO ADVISED US TO BRING IT IN FOR A CHECKUP. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD ADVISE ME IF A RECALL WOULD BE RELEASED. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT IN AUGUST 2014. IT HAD APPROX. 300 MILES ON IT. NOTICED A STRONG "SHIMMY" IN THE JEEP AFTER IT SHIFTS TO 2ND GEAR. THE SHIMMY GOES AWAY AFTER INCREASED SPEED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE TECH DROVE IT AND NOTICED THE SHIMMY ALSO. HE CHECKED FOR ANY SBS. CHRYSLER SAID TO REPLACE THE FRONT HALF-SHAFTS. THIS WAS DONE 2 WEEKS LATER. THE SHIMMY WAS STILL THERE WHEN I PICKED IT UP. THE TECH SAID THERE WAS A "BREAK IN PERIOD" OF 3000 MI AND IT WOULD GO AWAY. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BREAK IN PERIOD FOR THIS PART. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD 3 SOFTWARE UPGRADES ON THE TRANNY TO EASE HARSH SHIFTING. THIS WORKS FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH AND THEN BACK TO HARSH SHIFTING. THE SHIFTING GETS BETTER AS THE VEHICLE WARMS UP BUT THE SHIMMY IS THERE NO MATTER WHAT TEMP. TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER AND HE RODE IN IT TODAY (1/21/14) AND NOTICED THE SHIMMY. WE THEN DROVE ANOTHER 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE, IT DID NOT HAVE A SHIMMY HE SAID HE WOULD REOPEN THE STAR CASE WITH CHRYSLER TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE..THIS IS A $30,000 VEHICLE WITH 2000 MILES. IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS, AND I AM SICK OF HEARING "THIS IS NORMAL" FROM SERVICE TECHS WHEN THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHY IT IS DOING THIS. WHEN IT GOES BACK IN THIS TIME, THIS WILL NUMBER 3. IF IT IS NOT REPAIRED CORRECTLY AND THE SHIMMY AND TRANS. ISSUES ARE STILL THERE, CHRYSLER WILL BUYING IT BACK PER LEMON LAW. *TR

ORDERED CAR THROUGH BROWN MOTORS, LOCATED IN PETOSKEY MI. SALESMAN HAS BEEN CONDUCTING BUSINESS WITH THE FAMILY FOR MANY YEARS. CAR REPLACED VEHICLE AFFECTED IN A MAJOR FLOOD, AUG. 12, 2014. PICKED UP CAR FROM VEHICLE COURIER AT A LOCATION OFFSITE OF THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY FEW MILES AND COMING TO A STOP DUE TO TRAFFIC, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MADE A VERY NOTICEABLE WOBBLING MOTION BETWEEN 5 AND 20 MPH. VEHICLE HAS REPEATED THE WOBBLING SPORADICALLY AT THE SAME SPEED UPON ACCELERATION AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND HAD TWO RECALLS PERFORMED. ONE FOR THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG AND ANOTHER FOR THE TRANSMISSION MODULE. THE TRANSMISSION MODULE ADJUSTMENT DID NOTHING TO AMEND THE FRONT END WOBBLE. ALSO, ON OCCASION WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE ENGINE REVS UP TO ALMOST THE RED LINE ON THE TACHOMETER BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AND THE CAR ACTUALLY INCREASES IN SPEED. LUCKILY I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ON A TWO LANE ROAD WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. OTHER THAN THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN ADEQUATE.

VEHICLE HAS ROUGH SHIFTING ON ACCELERATION VERY JERKY DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT AFTER STOPPING , DEALER REFLASHED PROGRAMMING , VEHICLE RETURNED TO DEALER ON RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION REFLASHED AGAIN TRANNY THEN REPLACED NEW TRANNY STARTED HAVING SAME PROBLEM,WIRE REPLACED TO TRANSMISSION,TRANSMISSION NOW HAVING SAME ISSUE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY DOWN SHIFT ERRATIC, INTERMITTENT LACK OF POWER ON ACCELERATION DUE TO TRANSMISSION NOT DOWNSHIFTING

CAR STALLED 6X WITH MY 4 AND 5 YEAR OLDS IN THE VEHICLE. SMOKE BILLOWS OUT OF BACK OF CAR. IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUGS, FILTER AND OIL REPLACED. 9/2/14 CAR SHIFTING INCORRECTLY. COMPUTER SYSTEM RESET DUE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. CUSTOMER TOLD TO BRING BACK AFTER DRIVES 500 MILES FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. 9/29/14 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FAILED. PVC INTAKE VALVE REPLACED. DEALER TO DRIVE CAR 250 MILES AND TEST OIL CONSUMPTION AGAIN. AS OF 10/3, NO RESOLUTION. CUSTOMER HAS REQUESTED REPLACEMENT FROM MANUFACTURER. NOT APPROVED AS OF YET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

I WAS BACKING MY JEEP INTO MY YARD WITH A UTILITY TRAILER ATTACHED. I HEARD A NOISE AND I PUSHED THE GEAR SHIFT UP INTO PARK AND OPENED MY DOOR TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND MAKE SURE I HAD NOT HIT SOMETHING. AS I STEPPED OUT THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS AND THE DRIVER DOOR STRUCK ME KNOCKING ME TO THE GROUND ON MY BACK. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE ROLLED OVER MY PELVIC AREA CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A FENCE AND JACK KNIFED THE TRAILER. COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THEY COULD FIND NO DEFECT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE WHEN I SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO PARK IT DOES NOT ENGAGE AND SLIPS BACK INTO REVERSE. FORTUNATELY I AM MORE CAREFUL AND KNOW TO DOUBLE CHECK THE SHIFTING MECHANISM. DOES NOT DO IT ALL OF THE TIME. MAY BE RELATED TO TOWING. OTHERS WHO HAVE A LATE MODEL CHRYSLER VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION AND SHIFTING MECHANISM NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND NEED TO BE SURE THE VEHICLE GOES INTO PARK WHEN SHIFTED AND DOES NOT SLIP OUT ONCE FOOT IS OFF OF THE BRAKE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS HAVING SEVERE ISSUES SHIFTING GEARS. TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, LESS THAN A MILE LATER THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE THEN LOST 4WD CAPABILITY. VEHICLE SEEMED TO STALL OUT AND MAX OUT AT 20 MPH. CAR STOPPED A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE WHILE IN A TURNING LANE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, WAS ABLE TO BARELY MAKE IT HOME. LUCKILY, IT WAS LATE NIGHT AND NO TRAFFIC. COULD'VE CAUSE A BIG ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE SITS HERE AT THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT WILL NOT RUN. CALLING THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY OPEN TOMORROW TO TRY AND FIND A RESOLUTION. *TR

WHILE INCREASING VEHICLE TO HIGHWAY SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY AT A SAFE 'HIGHWAY SPEED' THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY "POPPED" INTO NEUTRAL. I PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL MANUALLY THEN, BACK INTO A DRIVE GEAR TO CONTINUE. MOST COMMON OCCURENCES WITH THIS VEHICLE ARE THAT, IT WILL NOT 'UPSHIFT' PROPERLY AND, IT WILL HOLD ON TO THE LOWER GEAR FAR TOO LONG BEFORE SHIFTING TO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS PROBLEM ALSO PREVENTS THIS VEHICLE FROM DOING "ANY KIND OF COASTING", I ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE GO FORWARD, EVEN ON A GENTLE DOWNHILL INCLINE. SOME (MOST) OF THE TIME THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT UNLESS THE ENGINE REVS TO ABOUT 5,000 RPM. THIS VEHICLE HAS YET TO REACH IT'S EPA EST MILEAGE OF 27 MPG, HIGHWAY OR STREET. MY AVERAGE MPG IS 13 MPG EVEN THOUGH I AM A CONSERVATIVE DRIVER. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO HAS YET TO DRIVE IT CONSISTENTLY DO TO IT'S SAFETY ISSUES. THE 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' HAS BEEN ON DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 50% OF THE TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE YET TO SEE THIS VEHICLE GO INTO THE 8TH OR, 9TH GEAR. THIS VEHICLE HAD 229 MILES WHEN IT WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AFTER OWNING IT FOR 10 DAYS. I PURCHASED IT ON 8/22/14. *TR

WHEN RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR ACCELERATES BY INCREASING THE RPM AND THEN MAINTAINING THE SAME SPEED THEREAFTER AS IN A CRUISE CONTROL ALTHOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL IS OFF UNTIL THE BRAKES ARE STRONGLY APPLIED TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN THROUGH TOWN. WE WERE TURNING LEFT ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO CREEP THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AT LESS THAN 5 MPH. WE WERE NEARLY T-BONED ON THE SIDE WHERE MY 4 YR OLD CHILD WAS SEATED. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR BECAME INOPERABLE! IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE TRANSMISSION. THEY OUTRIGHT LIED AND DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. IN CONJUNCTION, THEY COULD AND DID NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND IF IT WAS ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE THAT FAILED. TO TOP IT OFF MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH SEVERAL NEW SCRATCHES, AN EXTRA PART LEFT UNDER THE HOOD, AND A BROKEN HOOD LATCH. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME ON A HIGHWAY IN THIS CONDITION AND THANK GOODNESS THE HOOD DID NOT FLY OPEN. THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS DEADLY! SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT! PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CAR. *TR

WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM ANY SPEED FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES. HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. EVEN PUT TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL COMING TO STOP AND IT STILL ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. AT EVERY STOP AND CORNER JUST TAKES OFF. YESTERDAY ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS STOPPED AND THE JEEP DECIDED TO ACCELERATE. HAD IT AT DEALER ON 9/12/14 FOR SERVICE. JEEP DID TRANNY UPDATE BUT DID NOTHING. HEAD OF SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I JUST NEEDED TO DRIVE IT TO WORK ITSELF OUT. I THOUGHT HE WAS JOKING BUT HE WAS ACTUALLY SERIOUS! GOING TO TAKE JEEP BACK TO DEALER BEFORE IT KILLS ME ( NOT JOKING).GETTING WORSE ALL THE TIME. *TR

DRIVING AT 70 MILES PER HOUR, VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATE, ALL LIGHTS CAME ON DASH, READ SERVICE TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHEN YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR FROM 0MPH THE CAR STUTTERS AND SHAKES FOR A FEW MPH UNTIL YOU GET TO ABOUT 15-20MPH AND THEN IT DRIVES LIKE NORMAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND THERE WAS CONSTANT UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN THE GEARS CHANGED. WHILE CHANGING GEARS TO PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD INTO THE GARAGE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH FORCE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN FIVE TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AT RANDOM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WENT TO SHIFT VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF THREE TIMES, ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT I MANAGED TO GET IN TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. VEHICLES TRANSMISSION SERVICE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON STATING "SERVICE TRANSMISSION START FROM PARK WITH VEHICLE AT ZERO SPEED." WHEN I HAD SHIFTED THROUGH TO DRIVE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION MADE A CLUNKING SOUND LIKE IT HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE JEEP. I DROVE IT 3 MILES TO MY HOUSE ONLY GOING 30 MPH. WHEN I GOT HOME I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT MOVE PAST NEUTRAL. I ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE KEY 4-5 TIMES AND BECAUSE OF THIS THE DASH LIGHTS HAD STAYED ON. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATIONS AND ONCE THE SPEED REACHED APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE FAILURE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHENEVER THERE WAS DEW OUTSIDE OR A CHANGE IN SEASONS, THE WINDSHIELD AND SUN ROOF BECAME FOGGY. THE CONTACT HAD TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD MANUALLY WITH A CLOTH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2014. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB WEAVER AUTO (2174 W MARKET ST, POTTSVILLE, PA 17901) NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

PURCHASED 3/20/14 TRANSMISSION ISSUES STARTED AT APPROX. 5200MI DELAYED SHIFT, SHARP HARD SHIFT AT LOW SPEEDS , IE. UNDER 25MPH , INTERMITTENT, NON-PREDICTIVE OCCCURENCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS, THEN BEGAN TO INCREASE FREQUENCY, PROBLEM PERSISTED EVEN AFTER SOFTWARE UPGRADES AND GOT WORSE AFTER MOST RECENT SOFTWARE UPGRADE, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING WAS ALL OVER THE BOARD IN DELAYED, SHORT AND ROUGH SHIFT ALONG WITH LURCHING FORWARD ON OCCASION DEALER HAS NOT BEEN EFFECTIVE OR PRO-ACTIVE IN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE, TRANSMISSION IS NOT PERFORMING AS DESIGNED IS MAL-FUNCTIONING ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS, THE LURCHING, LUNGING FORWARD IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD, ONCE IT ALMOST LURCHED INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME SERVICE INVOICES ARE AVAILABLE

TWO PROBLEMS CAME UP AT AROUND THE SAME TIME. THE CAR WAS DELIVERED WITH THE TRANSMISSION 4 QUARTS LOW ON FLUID. THE CAR WAS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR, LURCHING AND SHUDDERING. THE TRANSMISSION IS A SEALED UNIT SO THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW THAT. THEN THE DASH DISPLAY WENT COMPLETELY DARK. NO FEEDBACK WAS GIVEN, ITS A DIGITAL DISPLAY. SO I HAD NO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER ETC AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OUT. I FEEL LIKE A VEHICLE WITH NO DASH DISPLAY THAT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN PASSING OR LURCHES FORWARD WHEN STOPPING COULD BE DANGEROUS TO OTHER DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS. *TR

UPON ACCELERATION BEFORE REACHING 30 MPH THE WHEELS WOBBLE, TO THE POINT OF TIRES SHAKING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. A STAR CASE WAS OPENED WITH CHRYSLER IN AUGUST 2014 FOR A SOLUTION TO THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP(FRONT AXLES BEING REPLACED) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT STILL NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM A YEAR LATER. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I AM FEELING UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. UPDATE 9/15/15*CW UPDATED 12/13/2017*CN

TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH CAR LOSING ABILITY TO SHIFT GEAR, MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE. I WAS IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION AS I WAS ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROAD. CAR IS BEING TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND CLEARLY THERE IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS CAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, EVEN AFTER THE CAR HAS ANY NECESSARY REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY THREAT DUE TO ITS INABILITY TO GAIN SPEED OR CHANGE GEARS AT CRITICAL TIMES. *TR

JEEP HAS RECALL FOR A SHIELD TO BE PLACED OVER BRAKE BOOSTER. WHILE INSPECTING DEALER FOUND THAT MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER HAS A LEAK. INFORMED BY DEALER WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS I WOULD HAVE LOST ALL BREAKS WHILE DRIVING. PART IS ON BACK ORDER WHICH SEEMS VERY STRANGE. HAVE CHECKED AROUND THE COUNTY AND NO ONE HAS THIS PART AND EVERYONE SHOWS AN EXPECTED SHIPPING FROM THE MANUFACTURE NOT UNTIL SEPTEMBER. THIS COULD BE A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM FOR JEEP. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME. *TR
