The service shifter light keeps coming on. With that..the lights next to the park, drive, neutral and drive letters all turn red. I'm taking it to a dealership this Saturday and I know that it will cost me. I had my two kids in the car 1 and 3 years old when it happened. My car was parked overnight in my garage because it's been raining all week and I didn't want to get out into the rain to let my two kids inside. I drove it about a mile down the road when this problem started. I read that this is a reoccurring problem with this vehicle that a lot of people are having. Some say the problem gets worse like the vehicle shuts down while driving and others say they have to keep paying to have it 'fixed' but the problem with keep happening. Also my vehicle had a misfire on the 2nd cylinder and my vehicle kept jerking two weeks prior to this incident but we also paid to get that 'fixed'. I got this vehicle because I needed something reliable to drive my family around in and it's causing me more headache and now I have to worry if my kids are safe to ride with me in it.

Service shifter warning appears in main console display which replaces your digital speed indicator. Will not disappear until you stop and restart car. Happens while moving. After googling the issue appears quite a few others have this same problem. Is just distracting if youre on the highway with your current speed suddenly replaced with a warning. As per others on google with the same issue.. had to have the shifter bezel and wiring harness replaced.

Today a message came on in my message window on the dash that the shifter needs to be serviced and all the shifter lights came on along with it. My car has about 60,000 miles on it. I purchased this car brand new and have already had 2 recalls, battery replacement, and transmission thermostat replaced on it. It sucks that these costs have had to come out of my own pocket because mopar/ Jeep has made such a lemon of a car. I've had to have towed twice so far.

We have taken our Jeep in countless times since obtaining it brand new in 2016 for a service shift issue. They replaced our thermostat the first time then wiring harness to the transmission/BCM the second time since then the dealership has stated with out a check engine light not to worry about this issue. Every time it happens our Jeep heats up past 220 degrees and starts to run rough.

About two months ago while driving the car chimed and the message "service shifter" appeared on the screen along with all lights next to shifter to light up red. The vehicle has to turned off and restarted to reset. Now the same thing keeps happening. This never happened before the over the air update. Extremely irritating and scary the first time it happened thank god I wasn't in an accident like other reports have noted. Jeep needs to recall this issue and fix it!!!

I was sent a recall for my navigation to upgrade, I was sent a flash drive for the upgrade and it didnt work. I called the number on the paperwork and they said to have the nearest dealership do the upgrade because the flashdive was not working. The dealership said they couldnt do the upgrade but for 400 dollars they could fix my usb port so they could upgrade the software and they kept the recall paperwork so now I dont have the number to call and tell them it's not done and when I enter my VIN it says all recalls are finished.

Service shifter indicator comes on- solid red lights appear on the shifter in every gear. Comes on every couple of days. Cargurus has several people complaining about experiencing the same problem. Dealerships seem to not really know what the real problem is, replacing engines, transmissions, shifters- only to have the problem come back for these folks. Clearly, a recall is in order. I am concerned if I take mine in, I will have the same problem as the others, price gouged- with no real solution.
