While driving and stationary the service shifter light illuminates on the dash and all the lights on the floor shifter illuminate all gear positions. Also, at low speed, when adding power, the transmission has a "bump" as it tries to shift into the next gear. Makes it jerk/clunk into gear.

While driving and sometimes when turning my car on and putting it in gear all the lights on the gear shifter will come on and it will read a message on the dash "service gear shifter". I will have to come to a stop, put it in park, and shut it off and turn it back on before the message will go away and the lights will go off.

Electrical warning system can not be remedied. Emergency brake system is malfunctioning and setting when car is in drive. Electrical system completely went dead on the freeway causing the car to stall, when car was restarted and nursed off of the freeway the electrical system completely went dead, the transmission locked up preventing the tow company from loading the car onto the tow truck, the car was manually manipulated to release the system into neutral. The cars electronic dash board completely goes dead while on the freeway. The car has been in 3 dealerships over more than 1 month, the dealerships claim they have replaced computer components, can't find anything wrong, or 'jiggle the wires'. the cars warranty is nearly up, and we have been pressured to buy an extended warranty. The dealership has provided us with a rental car, and claimed to have fixed the problem, that is when the cars electrical system failed on the freeway. The car is a complete hazard. My husband has the repair records on file.

Starting at 25K miles, the vehicle started to burn through oil even before the next oil change. The manual states to go off the oil system light, dealers say different. Oil had 14% left, but the car kept shutting off while driving on the highway. Went to dealer, car burned through all the oil. They refused to check for engine damage and force me to pay for a full oil change. Stated by the dealer, its a known issue with Jeep and there is no fix for it. Now at 33K, check engine light came on, cylinder 4 misfire. Coil pack needs replaced. This is a tsb that was posted at dealers but not given to consumers. Also airbag connection under driver seat comes loose and causes warning lights to service airbag. 10K miles. Dealer said to plug back in and just keep dealing with it.

My vehicle was in motion. I was driving down the city street and suddenly a meaasge appeared on my screen 'service shifter' and the Jeep began to jerk. The lights on each gear turned red. When I got to a place to park. I cut the Jeep off and turned it back on. I then received a message when I put the Jeep in drive to verify if it would drive and I received another message stating 'shift to park'. the Jeep began to jerk again. I've had this Jeep for one year exactly bought it with only about 3,000 miles on it and within 3 months it completely stopped on me in the middle of the road. The car would not drive at all. I had to get it towed to the dearlership where it was an issue with the engine and oil that had to be fixed and took almost 2 weeks. This Jeep has all type of problems and needs to be recalled

- Ooltewah, TN, USA

Driving down a city highway the service shifter alert came on. All of the lights next to the indicators on the shifter lit up. This has happened twice so far today. The parking brake has also been turning itself on as soon as the Jeep is put in gear and the foot is let off of the brake.

Service shifter lights and warning come on randomly when driving. When the error message is displayed, there is no way to get rid of it except turning vehicle off and on. The error message takes up the entire in dash screen and does not allow for the digital speedometer to be shown. There does not seem to be a pattern as to when this occurs, has happened when starting up and just randomly while driving (not specifically linked with a speed, direction, or turn).

- Cary, IL, USA

The "service shifter" warning message appears in the "message screen" & you cannot clear it so the mph & other needed driving data is unavailable. Also all of the shifter lights become illuminated so you cannot see what gear the transmission is in. "cargurus.com" has a lot of complaints on this safety issue. Car is in motion & stationary;.the shifter service message appears. It 1st occurred yesterday; 8/19/2019 to me. This is a safet issue because my mph etc is unavailable & I cannot verify gear I am in. (drive/reverse etc)
