The gear shift indicator lights all came on, a service shifter error code. I had to pull over put it in park and turn the engine off and then turn it back on and it reset itself. In February 2019, the same thing happened and they fixed the issue. The parts were warrantied for 2 years or 24,000 miles according to westgate Jeep in raleigh North Carolina. A week or later the gear shift all the lights came on again and then I took it to the shop at westgate in raleigh.

All of a sudden "service shifter" come on screen with the shifter lights all illuminated red. I took it to the dealership and this morning they informed me that the wires in the gearshift and a plastic piece have to be replaced. Because this happened at 38,103 miles it is not covered by warranty anymore, had it happened under 36,000 miles it would have been covered

I've had the service shifter come up on my dashboard, 2 times this year. 1st happened in January 2020, and on September 9,2020. And then the shifter lights up red on every gear. The 1st time this went off, I was leaving work and just started my vehicle. The 2nd time on September 9, 2020 it came on while driving. I have seen pictures of people vehicles in accidents, after this happened. They state that the vehicle goes into park all by itself. Those scares me to death, this vehicle needs recalled!

Several times now while driving the vehicle the service shifter warning comes on on the dash and all of the red lights for the park reverse neutral and drive all come on on the shift column. After pulling over and shutting the vehicle off and turning it back on everything resets only to do it again randomly further down the road.

While driving my Jeep a warning popped on the dash stating to service shifter. My car decided to have the brakes lock up and dash showed car was in park while the shifter clearly showed it was in drive. Thank god I was not going more than 15mph when this happened as we had just pulled out of the driveway and started to accelerate. My 5 year old was in the car with me. We or someone else could have been seriously hurt!

My service shifter message has been staying on. When it first started giving the message it would go off when I cut the vehicle off and I wouldn't get the message again for a while but now it is staying on. I've also been having issues with the transmission shifting really hard sometimes but only when I get the service shifter message.

I have had my car almost three years, I have 31,800 miles on it. I'm getting "service shifter" error periodically when starting my car. I turn my car off and turn it back on and it goes off. It's happened three times in the past 7 days. I've read a lot of other people with the same issue. Jeep should have a recall on this. This happened in my driveway when turning on my car. I read that someone's mechanic said it can leave you stranded and is dangerous if it comes on while driving as you won't be able to put the car in park. This ha happened to me 3 times over the past 7 days.

While driving the service shifter lighter appears on dash and shifter position lights all light randomly and has been becoming more frequent. They turn off once I stop, turn the car off, and restart the car. I have read models previously have been recalled for this issue but not 2017 which appears to have the same issues. Also I've had to change my spark plugs at about every 50,000 miles. I replaced them once already and once again I am having the same issue the check engine light is on and at times the car is shaking from the misfiring. The check engine light remains on at a times. The check engine light flashes and the car is shaking the power and acceleration are significantly reduced when the spark plugs are actively misfiring. This only occurs with accelerating and pressing on gas pedal and happens constantly while driving. I've never had to replace spark plugs this often they usually last atleast 100,000 miles. There is a problem when they barely last for half that and require replacement atleast 2 times before they should go bad. These seem to be a common issue but when you ask the dealer they act clueless and something needs to be done. These are costly problems that should not be occurring or occurring this frequently. Please investigate.

2017 with 34K on it and on a minimum of 2 hands I have had the error service shifter come up. After car is turned off, it will go away for no specific amount of time and then eventually pop back up either while driving or first start up of the day.

- Fort Worth, TX, USA

The service shifter light kept coming on while driving due to a faulty wiring harness and all gears lit up red. I was charged $375 to have it fixed, but if you search the forums it it is happening to everyone with a 2017 Jeep Cherokee.

I keep having to do oil changes within a 1 1/2 months without even going 3,000 miles. Also my car shuts on and off randomly and the power goes out on the radio and speedometer. I've taken my car in and they run a diagnostic and always tell me that everything with the car is fine. This shut off seems to happen when I stop at a stop light or stop sign. All the power seems to go out and the car completely shuts off. The lights on the radio and speedometer have gone black while the car is in motion, it has happened while I'm driving on the highway. I have no idea why I'm having to get more frequent oil changes.

I purchased my vehicle on July 27th paying 28,000 dollars for it. I test drive it and everything was fine. Two days later my 'service shifter' light cane on and everything by my shifter was illuminated. Today (08/03/2020) it happened again. Numerous people online have been complaining about their Jeep doing the same thing. I have under 60,000 miles on this Jeep and something needs to be done. I can end up being stranded on the side of the road as I travel a lot. Please recall this issue as many people are paying to get this fixed when it's not the car owners fault.

- Cleveland, OK, USA

On a recurring basis, the dashboard lights up with a "service shifter now" message and all lights on the gear shift are illuminated. After a restart, the lights go away and the car resumes normal functionality. This has happened multiple times over the past 6-8 months.
