The service shifter warning has come on multiple times over the past year. We have taken it to the dealer and have been told they can not find anything wrong. This has happened while driving at random speeds and driving conditions. It is now happening every time the Jeep is driven, sometimes before we even get to the end of the driveway.

On January 18 2020 I was driving and after only a mile from home, coming to an intersection yielding to go left, my car completely without warning stalled in the middle of an intersection. I tried to re-start and took about 10 minuets get it to restart. I was driving the mile home when then I got a 'oil pressure low light'. I did an oil change that afternoon to find my car only had 2 quarts of oil remaining. My car is burning oil. I do regular oil changes. There are no leaks. I had no warning from my car that my oil was low. Although the feature to turn off my car worked properly in the event oil is low, my car is burning a large amount of oil and not giving me a low oil warning before turning off my car. This could have been much worse and happened on the highway which I generally travel. These model cars need to be fixed from burning oil and drivers alerted to when their oil starts to become low, not just shut off in the middle of the road.

Over the past few months, I have intermittently received a message that says "service shifter" on my 2017 Jeep Cherokee while my vehicles is in motion. This condition has occurred at completely random time while I have been driving. During this condition, the P, R, N, D shifter lights are all lit up red. Each time this happens, I am able to turn off my engine, and then restart it to clear the message, but I am extremely concerned about the safety of this vehicle as I fear I will suddenly lose control of my vehicle.

Upon starting the vehicle, the service shifter light turns on and wont shut off. I have to turn the car off and on again to get the message and shifter to reset. Sometimes, it will keep going into service shifter for multiple tries before the shifter will eventually work and drive. It has happened both when stationary when I first get in to drive and also while driving down the road. I have to pull over and turn the car off and on again to be able to drive again safely. This has been happening on and off again for at least 6 months. It will happen multiple times over the course of several days and then not happen again for a while.

Message "service shifter" pops up on the instrument panel, and a series of red alert lights appear next to every gear on the automatic transmission shifter lever. This problem is rampant among 2017-2018 Jeep Cherokee!! the dealers are unable to fix the problem! they replace the wiring harness, they replace the shifters themselves, they reset the computers ' and the problem always returns! the website https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T68742_ds990296 alone contains the stories of over 80 Jeep Cherokee owners who have this ongoing problem. Imagine how many Jeep owners across America are suffering with this issue! Jeep replaced the 2014 shifters that were recalled (the ones that killed star trek actor anton yelchin in 2016) with this new shifter - and this one is just as bad! these vehicles must be recalled!!
