While driving i got a 'service shifter ' message and all the lights on my shifter were lit up. i pulled over turned the car off and it went away. it happend again after my oil change at the dealership. it goes away after i restart the car but seems to be a safety problem but the dealership didn't think so. no message or lights after i restart but it has happened more than once.
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.

Several times within the past 2 months, including today; when driving more than 25-35 miles there will be a "service shifter" notification and the associated 'ding' noise notification that comes on. this notification blocks any action on the screen between the speedometer and rpm monitor and only successfully goes away when turning the jeep completely off. this happens while in motion, particularly on highways, and seems to happen more often if i have used or am using cruise control on the trip. it also illuminates all of the lights on the shifter (pnrd +/-). it seems that this could potentially cause a more serious issue with shifting, cause me to become stranded, or become dangerous for myself and other drivers.
I bought the vehicle brand new form the dealer (farrish chrysler jeep dodge ram at 9610 fairfax blvd. va 22031 and it always have issues and stops running, and i have to drop it off to their shop and it takes few days to diagnose the problem which cause me some problems to struggle with my work schedule and my son school and other family schedules. so i need to solve this problem and make sure the vehicle is safe to drive as i am a single mom and i need to not struggle much with a new vehicle.
While driving a warning light comes on that says "service shifter", the car does not seem to have problems, however the dealership is telling me after inspection it will be $600 as the harness is bad. if i do not replace the car can become confused on what gear it is in and randomly shift, major concern if you are traveling 70 mph on the interstate...

The 'service shifter' warning light comes on and the steering locks up. this has happened once before and the shifter control module and wiring harness was replaced. it has been about 10 months since that service. chrysler has a warning noted but it's not a recall.
While driving, my car suddenly lost speed and ability to accelerate. a warning popped up "shift to park or neutral press brake + select gear". at the same time on the automatic gear shift console, the red light that highlighted i was in drive began to blink, i lost all ability to drive my car, and had to coast to the side of the road, put it in park. turned the car off, tried to restart and the car would sputter, but eventually catch. happened twice - two days in a row.
Cherokee (2017) has zf 9-speed transmission. when changing from reverse to drive or drive to reverse transmission is slow to respond to the gas pedal. also happens when making turns or going up a hill and pushing gas pedal to recover speed. entering highway traffic or passing has slow response to gas pedal. jeep says it's normal. people are going to have accidents and possibly die from this.
While driving, a message came up on center display advising, "service shifter". once this happened all of the lights on the shifter selector light up (park, reverse, neutral, drive, -, +). we were in a 45mph zone when this occurred. the light never turned off during the entire 40 minute drive.
