I bought the car in november 2018. the first 6 months i battled the wind shield wipers going out. as i had to see the dealership 5 times before they were properly fixed. now for the past month i have had a service shifter pop up and i have called the dealership and they said they would get back with me. now the service shifter is popping up everyday and it seems jeep has gotten a lot of complaints with this. need some advice of what to do if dealership will not help. it's happening every day!!!

2015 Jeep Cherokee

Since 2015 when the jeep was purchased i have had several times when the rpms would go up to 3 or 4 and i was not accelerating the gas when it happened. it acted like transmission problems . the jeep dealer could not fine anything wrong and would update the computer, it would last for several months and then the same thing would happen. on saturday february 8th 2020 i parked the car in a parking lot and returned 3 hours later to a car that would not start , lights would work and the battery appeared dead. i got a hotshot to try to start the car. it did start but there was no power steering , no power brakes, the engine was running rough and the lights were clicking off and on. the code stated service transmission restart in park with vehicle at zero speed. and would change to service park brake. when i turned off the car it would turn on again and it was towed to the jeep dealer and they will look at it on monday feb, 10th. i will know more at that time.

While driving , car will shut off engine/electric shutdown. it happens while the car is moving and the power steering goes making it very scary. once the car comes to a stop the only that comes on is the battery light .

2017 jeep cherokee service shifter light started coming on randomly at 28,000 miles. usually turning off the car and cranking it back up would make the service shifter light go away. now after only owning the car for 2 years it is starting to shift out of gear and the service shifter light stays on most of the time. sometimes driving down the road and the shifter light will pop on out of nowhere. in the two years i've owned it i've only put 20,000 miles on it. left the dealership today to find out this part is not covered in the powertrain warranty. i've gotten one quote for $800 to replace the shifter bezel and wiring harness. this is a 2017 with only 40,000 miles. all over the internet jeep owners tell of an identical story with their jeeps. jeep needs to own up to this being a faulty part. i should not have to spend this much money to fix a faulty part. will never buy a jeep again

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.
