I have warning lights keep flashing out of control 3 lights keep staying on that is tire pressure system and check engine and start stop system, put a code reader on vehicle and it says transmission module my car will rev up while I N gear hesitate and then jerk real fast and start going super fast without my foot on gas. When I shift the gears into reverse from park or put in park it makes a loud clunk noise and shifts hard. Also the tailgate when opening will open up and immediately shut on me and has hit my head a few times and tried shutting with me in the way. I've reported problems to the dealership several times they send me to a dealership for Jeep and they tell me battery needs reset and sent me on my way and I asked to have transmission looked at and they have no transmission tech. While in motion ill take my foot off gas to slow down when coming to a corner or stop and it will speed up on its own causing me to slam breaks quickly. I feel unsafe in this vehicle. Im not the first owner I was financed through bud clary and they can never help me always send me to ncchords Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership if there is any availability appointments. The issues I have with vehicle are continuous. Really stared bad with lights a few weeks ago. Had car serviced for reg service date on 11th and they couldn't help with my issues recommends me make appointment with other dealership. Ill put the issues with car when its been a everyday occurrence to thus last may on 1st. I bought car almost 1 yr ago and have had problems since day 1 June 27th 2019.

I purchased may Jeep Cherokee in December 2017. On the first hot day of May 2020, I went into my car, and noticed the dashboard area along with the vents, had began to melt! it was hot outside, but this is not the first time that my car has been sitting in the sun. When I touched the vent, my fingers were covered in this black, gooey substance. Not only is the interior of my car destroyed, but my concern is whether this substance is hazardous. Are there chemicals in the paint or any toxic elements? I have showed the photos of the problem to many people. And everyone has the same answer, which is, "I have never seen anything like this before." I contacted the dealership, where I purchased my Jeep. My agent is currently looking into this. The second problem involves the shifter. All of the lights are lit up. I have already had an incident where I thought I was in "park" but it turned out I was in reverse. I found multiple complaints and concerns about this problem in my research.

The service shifter light comes on more and more frequently. It only comes on while I am driving. If I shut the Jeep off and turn it back on it temporarily disappears. It doesn't matter if I'm going 10 miles or 70 miles, it randomly comes on. I have taken it to a Jeep dealership and they can not do anything for me unless I drive it there with the light still on. I know numerous people have reported this problem. Why is there not a recall" does it have something to do with the cruise control recall or the wiring harness that wears out for the gear shifter???"

I was driving on the freeway going 60 miles per hour when L heard a loud bang. My car shook violently causing me to swerve. I then heard the wind coming in from my moonroof. I immediately pulled off the freeway to assess what had happened. There was a huge hole in my moonroof with the rest of the glass protruding upward. Nothing hit my moonroof it had exploded.

Service shifter keeps coming on. I've tried taking it to see what the problem was but it's always off when I take it and they tell me that they can't fix the problem if it's not communicated that it has one!

On at least 10 occasions from Aug 2017 - Feb 2020, while driving the 2015 Jeep Cherokee, the gear shift would light up and the display would indicate "service shifter." The warning light would disappear once the vehicle was turned off and could not be replicated on command for a mechanic to evaluate.

- Midlothian, VA, USA

Service shifter light came on at 86,000 miles, went off after turning my vehicle off. Took to the dealership and they see nothing wrong, no codes, nothing. It jerks a lot when at slow speeds pulling out somewhere and going down a hill.

- Hernando, MS, USA

Service shifter message keeps pop up randomly. It started at around 70,000 miles. Once the car is turned off and back on the message goes away. There seem to be a lot of complaints about this issue with Jeep Cherokee. Is there going to be a recall?

- Carson, CA, USA

I have a "service shifter" error illuminating on my screen and all the lights illuminate on the shift itself. I turn the car back off and the lights go away, but they always come back on. There are multiple people online reporting the same issue. There are forums everywhere about this. Many people take it to the dealer and get it fixed and it doesn't fit the problem, just creates new ones so they are wasting their money. My issue happens when my car is in park. Not while moving.

When I am driving my car, it will automatically go into neutral. Normally, I am driving 15-25 mps, the radio and heat/ac is off. I am scared to drive my car. When it goes into neutral I press the brake (which is hard) and I put the car on park and after the third or fourth try, it finally turns on. The problem will not occur again during the day. It only happens in the mornings.

The 'service shifter' light has come on multiple times in one day. I have turned the car off and back on, but it still shows up as soon as I put my car in drive. This has happened before, but I've always just been able to turn my car off and it would be fine.

Service shifter light keeps coming on. You can turn the vehicle off and on and it will go off. Next time it is started it comes back on again. I am unsure if this is dangerous or not but needs addressed according to forums I have read about this problem.
