Recently reported UNKNOWN OR OTHER problems on 2016 Jeep Cherokee

On feb 6, 2020, i was getting ready for work when i noticed that my jeep had a message appear on the dash board regarding shift shifter. i was pulling out of my apartment complex when my car stopped out of no where my car stopped and the message appear while still on drive. when i looked over the shift shifter, the prnd were all lighten up in red. i has causing traffic and had to get my car towed.

A service shifter soon warning comes on at random and blocks the speedometer while driving. it clears when you turn off the vehicle and will randomly return.

When i start my car, the dash says 'service shifter' and the ' p r n d' all stay lit. this has happened 3 times in the last month/ month and a half. my jeep only has 29,000 miles on it. if i restart my car, it seems to go away for the time being.

'service shifter' message keeps popping up on the dash, accompanied by all gear lights in red. used to stop after powering the vehicle off and on again. i've seen that so many other jeep cherokee owners have experienced this. how is this not a recall? so unfair for those of us outside of a warranty.

Service shifter dashboard message and the p. r. n. d. light up red off and on, three times so far within a six month period what do we do? jeep dealer and headquarters maintains no complains have being filed the problem happens during car moving

The car dashboard keep saying service shifter. this happens after driving anytime on all roads and putting the car in park.

Service shifter message appeared in the center display and is lock in place, not being able to scroll through the menus any longer. next to the shifter all lights for shifter position are illuminated and you cannot see which gear the vehicle is in anymore from looking down at the shifter. this has happened multiple times mostly while in motion but has also happened while stationary. the message including all other indications can go away with a full shutdown.

'service shifter' message came on & all red lights on shifter tree while on the freeway no less! it does happen anywhere. 2016 jeep awd lattitude. they replaced the shifter and wiring harness once already. a few month later it came back on. took it in and they stated that they would not find anything wrong. but it is still coming on.

Approx. 68,000 miles, owned for 3 years, regular maintenance and inspection. vehicle in motion on city streets turns to neutral after the first few right turns. gear shifter automatically shifts to neutral after the car's warning system reads "shift to park" while the vehicle is in drive and in motion. to restart the vehicle, the driver must place the vehicle in park, turn off the engine and restart it, however the battery light flashes. this has happened three times in as many weeks, all while in traffic. when taken to jeep dealership mechanic, no code shows up on obd. after online research, many owners of jeep wranglers, (as well as latitudes) have had this same issue. there is a consensus it may be a result of a poorly implemented failsafe that jeep installed when the engine oil is low. allegedly, on jeeps with certain engines (2.4l) they burn oil at a higher rate than what the onboard computers can gage. it appears that jeep dealerships feign ignorance with this problem. however, when other owners have pressed the jeep corp., they say they may issue a recall if enough people complain. https://www.carcomplaints.com/jeep/cherokee/2019/engine/engine_shut_down.shtml

Service shifter indicator comes on- solid red lights appear on the shifter in every gear. comes on every couple of days. cargurus has several people complaining about experiencing the same problem. dealerships seem to not really know what the real problem is, replacing engines, transmissions, shifters- only to have the problem come back for these folks. clearly, a recall is in order. i am concerned if i take mine in, i will have the same problem as the others, price gouged- with no real solution. here is the link for the feed of problems: https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t68742_ds947921

About two months ago while driving the car chimed and the message "service shifter" appeared on the screen along with all lights next to shifter to light up red. the vehicle has to turned off and restarted to reset. now the same thing keeps happening. this never happened before the over the air update. extremely irritating and scary the first time it happened thank god i wasn't in an accident like other reports have noted. jeep needs to recall this issue and fix it!!!

This issue has happened seven times now in the last month. most recent was on 11/14/2019. while driving (in motion) about 25 mph in residential area, jeep turns off in the middle of the road. error message pops up on dashboard to "shift to p then desired gear" (see photo). i am able to pull over to the side of the road but car has to be turned completely off. it takes a couple of tires to restart the engine. unknown as to why this is happening. took to dealership and they said they could not find any codes and to let them know if problems continues. this is very dangerous as i could have been on a major highway and caused an accident.

Service shifter comes on and shifter prnd all red lights come on and you can not tell what gear the car is in. it came on once when you shut off the care it went away it sis this twice now it just stays lit. up in red.
