Within two minutes of starting the vehicle and driving it on the road, the vehicle was stall mid-traffic and become inoperable. the battery light then comes on with an error on screen with something to the effect of, "car must be in park in order to shift." turning the key does nothing until 3 minutes of causing a traffic hazard when the engine finally turns over. also the transmission has rough shifts at slow speeds causing the vehicle to suddenly jerk forward as if the gas was aggressively pushed down. this jerkiness to the transmission and speed has almost caused me to hit parked vehicles when trying to park the vehicle in a parking lot area.

I was getting gas with my baby in the car with me when i tried to shift into park the car was stuck. the emergency brake engages itself. when i looked around and in the back i noticed water in the spare tire wheel well. i understand the electrical component to the emergency brake is underneath this. i followed the water trail (it rained the night before) and saw a huge crack in my frame when the lift gate was up. which, to me is where the water is coming from. i got it to my dealership, somehow and it's there currently. i called my insurance company, they will not cover because i did not have an action that caused this problem (such as an accident). they advised me this is a manufacturing problem.

Transmission shift indicator lights will come on (all of them) randomly, and will go off after stopping and restarting the engine. this is difficult to do when traveling on an interstate highway
When i am driving my car will shift itself into neutral and stall out and then it will shut off when i am traveling 70 mph down the highway. then when i have to turn it back on i have to turn the key then shift my car into neutral and let it coast a little so that way it will turn over. it has done this 6 times now and the last time this happened it broke down and it would not start back up. the last three time this happened i was on the highway, traveling about 70 mph. when it happened about the third time a different light came on saying my throttle peddle was going bad and that the ignition was going bad as well. i took it to go get the codes read but every where i took they were saying they could not help me and that we would have to pay out of pocket for it. meanwhile my fiance and i looked up recalls on the jeep cherokees and there is recalls on the transmissions and other things as well. and all the recalls are for the 6 cylinder jeeps but my ...
My car starts to stall, slow down then jerks and doesn't move afterwards. then a message comes up saying 'shift to p, then desired gear' and i have to shut the car off about 4 times before being able to drive it again. this is while i was driving heading to work, while at a green light.
Every few weeks, i will get a warning that flashing on my display while driving saying "shift into p before shifting to desired gear", and the engine dies a couple seconds later. this has happened on cold days, warm days, flat roads, hills, and turns. rural roads with low speeds as well as the interstate at 60+ mph. takes about 2 minutes before the car will restart and has left me in the middle of traffic on several occasions, causing a danger to myself and other drivers. most commonly happens when my oil life is below 30%, but has occurred at other times as well.
As i was driving home the service shifter message came on after i backed out of the parking spot and shifted into drive. my display and would not clear. after looking online i found that there is a whole group of jeep owners that have this same issue. they discussion can be found at https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t68742_ds990296 i am surprised there has not been a recall on the automobile for this yet considering an extraordinary amount of people have this issue. definitely needs to be looked into. i have only owned the car for less than 48 hours and am questioning returning it to the lot after a mechanic takes a look into it.
My car starts and will drive then randomly turn off while i'm slowing down or waiting to turn. it shuts off the engine and battery light come on. i wait a few seconds and it starts right back up. it does it at least once a day but when i take it to the auto shop they can't identify any codes or anything that's wrong.
The electric parking brake set itself and would not disengage, requiring tow. the dealership told mei need to pay for a software update to fix the problem, however i discovered on my own a service bulletin describing the exact problem #08-060-16 the vehicle was parked, but could not be operated. my opinion, either the dealership is incompetent, or purposefully deceitful. pay for a software update. i asked, he couldn't answer... how did i break the software??? it is not software, the bulletin says it all.
'service shifter' intermittently comes on. all lights are lit up at shifter p,r,n,d and stay on. when vehicle is turned off and on again, it seems to be fine. comes on at least once within 10 starts. reading forums and dealership does not seem to know what the problem is. of course they want to see is when issue is occurring, not an easy task. even when issue is occurring i was able to drive. concerned as to what and why this problem is occurring. could it become a safety issue?
