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.
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.
Have owned my 2017 granite jeep cherokee latitude 3.2l v6 suv since august 2017. several times a year am instructed by on screen message to return to park and then shift to drive again. on 01/24/20, with 24,000 miles, when i started the car a service shifter message come up on my screen. it highlighted all my gear lights red and the screen was locked to service shifter. i turned the car off, waited a few seconds and the car started normally. however, in searching for the issue online found that over a hundred jeep owners had a similar experience. suv recall t52: reprogram transmission control module was resolved @ roseville jeep 05/01/18. several jeep owners said that the issue recurred even after their shifter was replaced. please escalate this issue to a recall and investigate what must be done to resolve this issue so that we are not charged for an issue the manufacturer has not been able to rectify.
This is the 2nd time my "service shifter" has come on the screen and the prnd lights all turned red. the car was driving normal and i was in a parking lot doing about 15mph. the 1st time i had just come to a red light just after leaving my home which i quickly returned. i have read about people having this issue and the car suddenly shutting down. it's very scary when this comes on.
While driving my car all of a sudden said service shifter and all of my lights on my shifter lit up as well. light would not go away, no other lights came on, however when brought to be looked at, nothing to be found on diagnostics. the light comes on frequently while driving and not driving, highway and city streets. also happens very frequently, the light isn't constantly on, but comes on sporadically, turns off when vehicle is turned off.
Car stopped on me and keeps doing it before it does it says service shifter i have contacted jeep , i have went to a dealership. but no one has helped and my 2 year old was in the car yesterday when i locked while i was driving
Several times now (7-9), message 'service shifter' appears. at same time all red dots along side the shifter illuminate (red). while to message is visible the cruise control is disabled. turning car off and restarting in most cases eliminated the message, red dots not illuminate and cruise control regained functionality. have not noticed any other electrical problems with the vehicle while the message was in view. these events always happened after the vehicle has been in motion, has not had upon initial startup.
After 19,000 the display showed 'service shifter'. the display is locked (unable to navigate to any other screen) and the red lights on the gear shift are illuminated. if the engine is turned off and back on the message and lights disappear only to reappear after another 100 miles. this happened while the vehicle was in motion on all three occasions.
Service shifter the car turn off on major highway
Service engine light is coming on. we just bought this on 12/28/2019 with 46198 miles. sifter issues. light came on as driving down the highway at normal speed.
Message "service shifter" pops up on the instrument panel, and a series of red alert lights appear next to every gear on the automatic transmission shifter lever. this problem is rampant among 2017-2018 jeep cherokees!! the dealers are unable to fix the problem! they replace the wiring harness, they replace the shifters themselves, they reset the computers ' and the problem always returns! the website https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t68742_ds990296 alone contains the stories of over 80 jeep cherokee owners who have this ongoing problem. imagine how many jeep owners across america are suffering with this issue! jeep replaced the 2014 shifters that were recalled (the ones that killed star trek actor anton yelchin in 2016) with this new shifter - and this one is just as bad! these vehicles must be recalled!!
I was driving when my car locked and told me service shifter, i immediately call jeep who told me to go the dealership near who told me they couldnt do anything because it hasn't been recalled
When starting vehicle a "service shifter" notification appears on dash and all lights by shifter illuminate, in order to reset you have to shut vehicle off and restart and then it may or may not do it next time you start vehicle, it does not seem to stop you from shifting vehicle into desired gear however is definitely something that needs to be covered under a safety recall. my jeep is currently in shop for repair, they called me and told me the bezel and wiring harness have to be replaced per a bulletin that is currently out but i have to pay $100 for my extended warranty to cover repair. this should be a recall due to the fact that it is happening to so many people and is not something that should be happening.
I left work today at 4pm made a right hand turn onto a bridge and i noticed i couldn't accelerate and two engine lights came on the dash and my car completely turned off on me and i broke down. i was stuck on a high trafficking area on a bridge when this happened. i've had my jeep for 2 years and never once had any issues and never once felt like it wasn't a safe vehicle. i don't feel safe to drive my jeep now and want it checked out completely before this happens again to me.
