Each time I have been driving the vehicle when the brakes failed without warning the last time (4th time) my car was in the shop because the tranmission seal had a leak. While the mechanic was test driving the car the brakes failed with him. When I have had been driving the Jeep and the brakes failed I was pulling into different locations and the brakes would fail and not stop the car. The brake were as hard as a rock and just simply would not stop the car. I feel after 4 times this car is not repairable and I am now mentally anquished with driving it I am afraid the brakes will fail again and I might get into an accident because of the brake issue and possibly get hurt, killed, kill someone else this is without a doubt a safety issue. The mechanic at the dealership has even said the car is not safe. I have a case number with the Chrysler manufacturer on the case. It is# 35139860

The driver information center says service shifter. When active, the manual shift doesn't work but forward reverse and park do not seem to be affected. If you stop shut off the vehicle and restart, it clears. It started doing this 6-9 months ago once in a while but now does it several times a day depending on amount of driving. We brought it into the dealer to have it checked and they said there was no codes or physical problems but could replace the shifter to see if this would fix the problem. We elected not to do this at the present time. We have heard of accidents from this so we just wanted to notify you that it is happening. We would like to address this before an accident occurs.

I bought new Jeep Cherokee 2016 3.2 L in Sep. 2016. Was very happy for first few months and then I noticed I got jerk while I was driving. I informed the dealership guy but, he said that's normal it happened because of automatic transmission. After couple a months I got service shifter light on. I went to the dealership and they updated software. It was back up again with in a week so I decided to change the dealership. I went another Jeep dealership got error code and fix it. It was working fine for at least three months and I got back service shifter sign but, this time it was with service forward sign too. They fix it but because of that my break pads was worn down and it was not covered under warranty and I have to pay out of pocket.after a week I got service transmission light on. I have to tow my car and drop at the dealership. They fix the problem but the all problem back up again. I got the service shifter light on, my car is getting started jerking and create a sound when I was break hard. So guys I am very frustrated with my Jeep Cherokee.

After having my brand Jeep for less than 2 months, the service park brake, anti-lock brake, and traction light went off while driving. My car then proceeded to jerk while driving so I pulled over and turned the car off. Upon restart of the Jeep, all the lights were gone and the Jeep drove fine. 5 to 6 months (around March 2017) later the lights went off again while driving and the wheel became stiff and hard to turn. Since the light went off after turning the car off and back on before, I did that but the lights stayed on. I called to schedule an appt with the dealership then the lights went off. The lighst stayed off, as the appointment was 2 weeks away, so I cancelled it. As a single parent I cannot afford to waste money for a diagnostic that would not show an error because the malfunction lights were off. In August of 2017 the lights came one again, the wheel became hard to steer. These lights stayed on for 2-4 days then went off. This occurence happened again in between as well my sons bday weekend February 2018. My parents were driving the car and this made them uncomfortable. Since then the lights came on more frequently, using go off within a day or 2, only to come back on again. In the past 3 weeks the lights have come on daily, cut off while driving, and cut back on. The brakes now make a vibrating sensation when driving, and 3 times when backing up the parking brake engaged itself. In the history of ownerhship of this vehicle I have used my parking brake maybe 3 times. I am frustrated with this vehicle that I purchased brand new with 7 miles on it to being experiencing so many problems. I have owned the vehicle since Sept 2016 (not even 2 full years although this problem started early on) and only have 25K miles on it.

Auto on/off will stop working and notify me on my screen. It will state I need to get it serviced. Also it will pop up that the gear shifter stops working, and need to get it serviced. Both will disappear after engine is turned off and back on.

"takata recall" I have had my car looked at a couple times for the same issues and no luck getting it fixed. While driving on both highway and regular roads I will get a warning chime and all of a sudden my service parking brake, ABS, traction control, and four wheel drive- overheated lights come on. I then lose power steering, the steering wheel becomes very stiff and the brakes stop working. It is very scary especially in the winter time, to not be able to control your vehicle. I am pregnant and have a 2 year old child and do not want this Jeep anymore unless fixed. I have done research and it seems that people with the same Jeep even different years have had the same issue. Please help! this always happens when the vehicle is in motion. I have many of the same images just all different days this has happened to me. I will attach and image below. As stated this has happened multiple times not just one day. Thank you.

After purchase of my 2016 Jeep, which had 8000 miles, I began experiencing strong shaking in the front suspension when a bump in the road was struck. I took the car to Jeep, darcar in waldorf Maryland. They could find nothing. This shaking continued so I took it back. Again they could find nothing. Now my front end is not only jumping but squealing. This is my first Jeep and as much as I like the vehicle, I am very disappointed that a problem is occurring already. This occurred and got worst as I was driving on the streets of Pennsylvania and the city of waldorf Maryland

Front brake rotors required replacement when car odometer reading was 16700 miles. Dealer said "rotors warped" and was a common problem occurring in vehicles with less than 20000 miles. Dealer said caused by car not being driven for 2 month period. Not covered by warranty after 12000 miles or 12 months. Complaint is the brakes on a new car should not fail after only 16,700 miles of normal driving. Cost to repair was $482

Purchased my 2015 Jeep Cherokee in September 2015 brand new with 19 miles. The car started off running great I loved it. By April 2016, I noticed the car began to drive differently and at first I didn't think much of it but it got worse and worse. By October my car was jerking so bad, stalling sometimes and accelerating sometimes on it's on.I took it into the dealership and they replaced the transmission with only 11000 miles on the vehicle. My car drove like it once used to until about the end of January 2017. The car began to accelerate on its own once again jumping from 1gear to 3 gear and back. In February on my way to work my shifter locked on me and went completely out causing me to come to a complete stop. Thank god it was 4am and no cars were out because I would have definitely been in a car accident. I took the car to the dealership and expressed my troubles with the car and they changed the shifter and did some update on the car saying that that's why my car was driving the way it was. The very next Friday after getting my car back from them, I almost hit the back of a car coming down street with a slight incline and the vehicle sped up on it own without me pressing the gas from 25mph to 45mph jumping from 2 to 4 gear. The car jerked so hard felt like I had been hit by another car. I called Jeep and told them I was bringing the car back it was not fixed and I almost had an accident. When they got the vehicle, they claimed when they drove the vehicle it performed how it was supposed.I have been having nothing but trouble with this car since they replaced the transmission. I called chrystler myself to express my issues with my car and they pretended to car at first and barely got in touch with me towards the end of it. Finally, I found a lemon law attorney and I am currently fighting them to buy this vehicle back. I do not feel safe in this car.

Occurs intermittently with vehicle in motion and attempting to brake. While braking, the brake pedal intermittently snaps down about a half inch and makes a very loud popping noise that emits from somewhere within the primary brake pedal mechanism. It is startling for the driver and can cause the driver to slam on the brakes. Brakes worked normally from purchase in May 2016 until Jan 2017 when a Chrysler software update was performed that changed the parking brake from manual on/off to auto on/off. Dealer has been unable to correct the problem. They changed the brake booster but it did not correct the issue. They are now stating it is normal and refusing to work on it anymore. I have returned the vehicle at least 3 times for this malfunction and believe the brakes are unsafe. Vehicle is still in the possession of the dealer (has been for 2-weeks now), with no work being done to find and fix the issue.

I had my 2016 Jeep Cherokee in to service at about mileage 1800. The Jeep dealer reported to me that he upgraded my software to the latest and greatest and produced a software upgrade number which meant nothing to me, but the dealer assured me that certain fixes were addressed, including the important parking break improvement, where if the car is placed into park, and the driver door is opened, then the parking-break would/should be automatically engauged. Yesterday, the first time this feature should have been automatically activated, it did not work. I am usually very good in deploying the parking break, but not this one time -- I pulled up on the switch rather than pushed it down to deploy the parking break (or opposite.) my point is that the automatic deployment of the parking break did not occur. Further, in the waining California sun, the amber led used by Fiat/Chrysler is not sufficient and a really poor color choice. It is impossible to see the led on the parking break. What kind of stupid chooses a led that is probably the least visible to see? the led matches the color of the sun (sort of.) green is much more visible. Red is better than amber.
