The transmission jerks when at a light it jerks forward. This is unsafe as I feel it could hit the car in front. I reported it to the dealer which I purchased and they say the transmission is gone. There is only 36898 miles on it. The dashboard lights shuts off while driving not allowing you to see the speed of the vechile or any other instruments.

Driving with 5 year old grandson when vehicle violently began shifting into park. Dash panel warning said to shift into park before selecting desired gear. This happened multiple times while in traffic, almost causing us to be rear-ended. Gear shift changes became violent as if we were being rear-ended as vehicle slammed into gear. Car shut down several times. Problem re-occurred in July when driving my 97 year old father on the 495 beltway (after dealership charged $1,100 for replacing TCM and reprogram). This time car bucked and message came up on dash display to shift into park before selecting desired gear. Car did this 4 times while driving causing great risk because car had shifted into neutral and would not go unless stopped and placed back into park. Now dealership saying no codes and wanting to change rear diff on a guess.

After taking my vehicle to a dealership for the transmission recall (transmission going into neutral while driving) the transmission started acting the same way just a couple of weeks later. I brought it back to the dealership and was told they couldn't do anything and I would have to call Chrysler. I am now getting "the run around" with Chrysler customer service about fixing the transmission that the recall messed up.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed there was an abnormal sound coming from the exhaust system. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure as a faulty cracked pipe in the engine to the exhaust. The contact stated that the motor mount and transmission bracket also needed to be replaced along with the pipe. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the transmission bracket was replaced a year ago. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 95,171.

I was driving the Jeep on a 4 lane highway @ 65 mph when the emergency brake light on the display came on as well as the brake itself & then it refused to shift manually or automatically (either option is available normally) & service transmisson light came on almost immediately causing me to abruptly lose speed. The9 engine was pulling over 4000 rpm to go 40 & get to the side of the highway. I was almost hit from behind due to the vehicle suddenly losing speed as I was in the left lane when this occurred & had to get to right side to stop. After vehicle was in park, I looked & the light on ebrake button was not on. I pushed brake control & light came on. Then I again pushed the ebrake switch & light went out. Put it in drive & Jeep still refused to shift properly. I stopped again, put in park & turned it off then back on hoping that would help. It did not make dash lights go out so I proceeded to nearest exit & as I was within 2 miles of my residence I drove it there slowly with emergency flashers on. This is not the 1st transmisson issue I have had with the vehicle. In addition to the numerous recalls for tranny issues, I had to pay $1,000 last fall to replace a chip in the "lifetime sealed 9 spd transmisson". I am afraid to drive the vehicle due to this issue. There was no warning, it just happened. I was alone in the Jeep & did not engage the parking brake. It was not engaged prior to my starting this drive either. I live in Iowa & it's very flat here so brake is rarely engaged. I have an appt at Deery Brothers service dept in Ames Iowa 6/30/22 as this was 1st available appointment following the incident. I have filed a complaint with the manufacturer as well.

PTU failed while driving, the vehicle-??s computer threw a code and disabled the 4WD. A google search seems to show that this is a pretty widespread defect with the Cherokee. The dealer is charging me $4,000 to make the repair. They say It will take them a week to secure a replacement part.

we will be drving the car and on the instrument cluster we will get " shift to park" message and car will go into neutral while driving. we would have to stop the car and shift to park and back to drive. this has happened numerous times on the street or freeway. 3 dealers for jeep did not know what and how this is happening no codes pop up. it is extremly dangerous and after reviewing this is happening with jeeps and no fix is available.

I was going 65-70mph on the high way. I received a notification to service the transmission. I immediately started to lose power and my speed began to decrease. I was unable to increase the speed with hitting the accelerator. As the speed was decreasing without my control I was able to make it to the shoulder, luckily. This was very dangerous as I was on a busy highway. If I did not make it to the should this could have been very dangerous for me and the other motorist on the highway. This happened twice. I took the car to the dealership and they replaced my PTO unit. This was a very expensive part. I have my invoice to send if needed.

On 6-2-2022, I was driving in Fresno ca with my 2 grandchildren age 1 &5. I was on shaw ave turning onto the freeway 99 when my transmission just left me stranded at the stoplights!! luckily I was not turning or oncoming traffic cars could of hit my car. Car would not move. I was stranded for about 1 hour before AAA tow truck came and pick me up!! Called my jeep dealership in dinuba and told them what happen. Best they could schedule a date to check the jeep was 1-17-2022(note this transmission was replaced about 1 1/2 years ago). The tow truck driver when he from the jeep at my home said when he turn it on the drop it off, it seem to get in gear??The following day I turned it on and tried to move it and it was working but an engine was on just like it turn in fresno when it left me stranded.The codes were PO420, P1DDD and P1CEE. I took the jeep to a local shop in Selma Ca and he plug in to a scanner is where I got the odes read, the last 2 he told me where transmission codes and would need a software flash at the dealership, he couldn't flash it. Pronto city auto was the name of the shop. He was kind enough to do it for free. Will schedule a dealership date, it 6-4-22 date of my report.

I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden my car wanted me to shift into P to park while i was still in drive. My vehicle was hit passenger side as well in a hit and run incident. I pulled over and waited awhile and called the police then brought my vehicle home because it was not totaled. I tried to get coverage from my GEICO insurance but they were unable to help. Then February i was in a rear end collision from another gentleman on the way home from work. My vehicle was being repaired for a month and some change until i got it back. At first I thought it was the battery or alternator going bad, but a diagnostic test showed normal for both. I-??ve tried different gas thinking it could be bad gasoline. When the vehicle shuts down it-??s difficult to get it to restart. Now it is saying service 4WD which i believe is something with the transfer case because its not the axels or differentials which I had replaced from Jeff D Ambrosia. Looking for assistance to get my vehicle driving safe and possible reimbursement or help, I have all my receipts from what has been done to my vehicle since I first bought it in 06/20/20 For my birthday present. There is a lot of more information that i want an advisor or assistance to know as far as what i have already paid out of my own pocket with dates and receipts (battery, axels, rear diffs, alternator, etc) and try to diagnose it from there. I know about the mechanisms myself and my buddy who is an authorized mechanic. I am sure that after hearing all the difficulties and safety issues i have had i may be able to get some serious help and even possibly with my right side of my vehicle ! Thanks

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle and driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle vibrated and stalled. The transmission warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

The 4WD will not work, so any time I need the 4x4 capability it is not available. I read that this problem can also prevent the car from going into park, so it can roll and cause an accident, so now I am afraid to drive it at all. It is not fixed yet.

The vehicle speed accelerates on its own when trying to come to a complete stop which almost caused me to rear end another car at a traffics light, the powertrain is completely off and creates an unsafe riding experience which impacts the steering and control of the vehicle, stalls randomly. There is rough shifting with the transmission, which jerks the car periodically. When driving at a speed above 60 entire vehicle shimmer and shakes uncontrollably, feels like the tires are getting ready to detach from the vehicle when driving at higher speeds and mostly when trying to come to a complete stop.

One day while we were driving, shifting became very slow and harsh. A few miles later, vehical slowed down enormously out of nowhere, and service brakes and transmission lights came on. No 4wd, no traction control available etc. Gigantic safety hazard, especially. With no prior indications or warnings.

I was driving when my transmisson slipped into neutral in the middle of an intersection then turned off my car and turned it back on.

PTU unit has tested as faulty, needs replaced to the tune of $3000 and is not included in the PTU recall. dealer has confirmed the problem. *Just the dealer., svc 4wd light began illuminating on and off about 3 weeks ago.

- Loveland, CO, USA

Power Transfer Unit broke free from mounting bracket and transmission. PTU transfers engine power to the all wheel drive system. Dealership inspected vehicle and determined several bolts holding the PTU to the transmission were missing. It appears that the bolts were never installed at the factory. Google search shows many similar cases with 2014 Jeep Cherokee. All 2014 Jeep Cherokees must be recalled and inspected for this factory flaw, and fixed at manufacturer's expense.

After my recalls were addressed with a dealership. I picked up my car and had no speedometer when I turned my car on. And it warned me to service shifter. This is on the start up after recall corrections. Later it started to act like it was trying to shift. Mostly under load conditions driving along. In or out of cruse. It acted like water in the gas, , but that's not the problem. It also started to shift funny slower than it did before. The lights blink on the shifter and and manual will not engage or show up on screen. Could it be caused by my shifter lights?
