Transmission acting erratically. Transmission will shift hard into 2nd and 3rd gear. When coming to stop it will downshift in a rough matter. Some times it bangs but is only intermittently. The transmissions works fine on the freeway will work fine only noticeable on city driving. I have taken for repairs and software update several times to the point that I got frustrated and stop calling the dealer. The 36K warranty expired in December 2016.

The car experiences jerky shifts, is very inconsistent when it does shift, and has a lag in acceleration. It does not feel safe to drive because I can't prepare for when it will shift. If I am stopping at a light, it often times will lunge forward - which is dangerous if there is a pedestrian crossing or someone in front of me. If I am at a stop light, and accelerating, the shift between 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd is extremely slow, and then has a hard lunge forward. The dealership says they do not have a solve for it, and Jeep won't acknowledge there's a problem. The value of the car has also dropped significantly so I can't get rid of it, without being upside down on what I owe.

Vehicle has always had a lurching forward motion when it goes into gear from a stopped position. We bought it in 2015 with 14000 miles on it. In early October husband was out of town with the car and the service engine light came on. Took it to dealership and was told it needed an update to the computer system that runs the engine area. Drove for one evening and left town for a week. First time car was driven after that week vehicle service engine light was on again. Upon backing out of the driveway it lurched forward and ran into the curb. Drove vehicle home and took to the local Jeep dealership immediately. Kep overnight before they said it needed a new transmission. They kept vehicle for a week and we picked it up on a Wednesday afternoon. By Thursday evening every time we take off the car shakes and lurches getting into gear. Have an appointment to take back to the dealership on Monday.

Safety recall listed below. Notified 2 months ago. This can cause a crash without warning! I am not comfortable driving a vehicle that could cause serious bodily injury/death to myself or anyone else. VIN: [xxx] year: 2014 make: Jeep model: Cherokee limited fwd number of open recalls: 1 NHTSA recall number: Opens new window takes away from VIN lookup section> 16V529 recall date: August 22, 2016 manufacturer recall number: S55 summary: The transaxle wire harness on your vehicle may have been built with insufficient wire terminal crimp(s). This may cause an intermittent high electrical resistance in the transaxle wire harness circuit(s). A high resistance circuit(s) in this wiring harness will cause the on-board diagnostic system to set a diagnostic trouble code (dtc). When the dtc is set, the system defaults the transaxle to neutral and the customer experiences a loss of motive power. Safety risk: The loss of motive power could cause a crash without warning. Remedy: The transmission control module (tcm) must be reprogrammed with new software. The new software strategy will eliminate the transaxle shift-to-neutral condition for this issue, place the transaxle in a fixed gear limp mode and illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) if a high resistance circuit is detected in the transaxle wire harness. Recall status: Recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall car bucking when shifting into gear. Also there was a knocking noise when driving at different speeds and when turning the wheel or going over bumps. It got so bad that it sounded like my tire was going to fall off or the underneath of my car. Also my car was shaking when it would hit a bump. There was also a whining noise that would occur when I turned my wheel either way. This problem has been occurring for almost two years now, everytime I brought it back to the dealer they stated that my "car was fine" was not until I brought it to another mechanic that they told me it was my front passenger wheel ball joint. This would occur while the car was on the highway or side roads, as long as the car was in motion. Also my car would have problems when shifting. The car bucked on my on the highway when I was going 65 the car lights started flashing and I got warning lights stating to put car into desired gear, check oil and transmission. I pulled into the break down lane and put the car in park. Turned the car on and off & the same thing happened.

3 transmission incidents when I have filled up with gas. After leaving the station the car has shifted into neutral and will not drive. The engine has sputtered and shut off. There are transmission warnings "service transmission to shift vehicle must be stopped" on my display. Also my malfunction indicator light, electronic throttle control and avoidance disabled are illuminated. When car is re-started there is a sudden almost violent jerking forward motion or engine ideals slowly and can stall out. This will be my third service call on for my transmission and I am feeling like I have a serious problem that could cause an accident, putting me and my family in harms way.

I had been driving my vehicle all night when all of the sudden out of no where the transmission service came onto my screen on the dash and my Jeep lost power and the brakes locked up and said that I need to service the brakes and the transmission. At the time this happened I was just starting to come to a complete stop at the light. This is really dangerous and needs to be reported that the transmission has failed or is not working correctly in this Jeep. What is someone gets killed?

While driving straight on a two-lane highway, the transmission shifted itself into neutral and all forward power was gone. The gearshift lever could be moved, but would not put the car back into any gear. We turned on emergency flashers, put the gearshift in park, shut off the car. We re-started the car after a short period, and it then went back into gear. Fortunately, there was no one behind us when this happened. Had there been, it could easily have caused an accident. If it happened on an expressway, this could cause a fatal crash! we relayed this to a Jeep dealer in mesa, AZ. It is assumed to be related to your safety recall 16V-529. There are others talking about this on line. Please, get the manufacturer moving to fix this problem before someone gets hurt or killed.

Same or similar problem with 2014 Jeep Cherokee transmission: After car was bought new had a couple of situations where Jeep's dashboard display would all of a sudden while driving error(service transmission, must put car in park and restart)vehicle would be in limp mode had to coast to side of road and restart car, would bang while going into and out of gears... dealer changed the tcm(transmission control module 5/16) but gave me no paperwork stating such, just verbal.. same error again on 6/11/16, again on 7/29/16 and again on 10/19/16...error on display, car goes in limp mode, have to coast and restart...although, after a few engine shut off and restarts service error disappears...seems to happen mostly at speeds less than 55mph..will have to continue to pursue with dealer.....

Since I bought this Jeep new in 2014 its been unable to predictably go from stop to start. This is a major safety concern in stop and go traffic (which is daily where I live). I've had all the transmission flashes and each one seems to work for a week or two before this behavior returns. There's also a grinding/clanking noise when going from reverse to forward - the same noise can sometimes be heard when going over a speed bump.

Transmission electronically shifted from drive to manual, while in traffic, three times so far. Service transmission, service emergency brake, traction control off, and mil illuminated(code P0887 stored). Software updates preformed in July. Transmission shifts erratically at low speeds since updates and problem back in October of 2016, with a rear end collision barely averted.
