2014 Jeep Cherokee engine complaints
Page 10 of 19: complaints 251 to 280 of 524, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On several occasions, this car has just stopped while in motion. Dashboard lights light up, get transmission warning. Have taken the car in on numerous occasions to be told that it needed an update on the computer. It is very scary to be driving a car and not know when or if it will shut off, and that an "update" would cause such an incident. I have had trouble with this car since the day we purchased it. I have reached out to jeep and they just said to take it back to the shop so they could run tests on it, this was after it had been in the shop for 3 weeks. It seems like many others are having the same issue with the same model car. Someone is going to get killed if something isn't done with these issues. There should have been a recall in this faulty vehicle. I am posting that this new occurance happened today, but it has happened on several other occasions.
9-speed auto transmission which mine has rough, delayed or sudden shifting or failure to shift conditions with grinding or other loud noise during shifting ' harsh engagement of gears; sudden or harsh acceleration/deceleration; sudden loss of power; premature transmission wear or failure.
When the vehicle was in motion, I was on a city street, the vehicle randomly stalled while driving 10mph. The dash screen stated, "place in 'p' then select gear." I then placed the car in park and tried turning the ignition but it did not start. I had to get a stranger to jump start my car and eventually the car started. This happened a few months ago and since then this has happened twice. The second time this happened, vehicle was in motion while pulling into a gas station on a city street and it randomly stalled. I turned the ignition and it started up. This is extremely dangerous and thankfully on both occasions there has been no car driving behind me.
Car started to loose power while driving down the interstate, acted like it was going to stall, giving more gas only made the problem worse. Was not able to go over 45 MPH unless going down hill. Had the same problem 6 months ago and was covered by warranty. Took car to the dealership and this time its not under warranty.
Service transmission and will not shift gears, service park brake.
I bought my jeep cherokee 2014 awd with 60k miles on it. Within in 6 months, my dashboard said service transmission and it was undriveable. The dealership said it was software issue and fixed it. Not even a year later and I had the same issue again and it is now getting a new transmission. Often when driving, it revs very high and goes nowhere, or if I'm cruising a parking lot, its revving very high and will jerk into another gear. Not only that, but I've had know drive shaft bearing ands a new radio put it. The big issue is the transmission and the repeated tows, missing work, late to work, engine shaking, grinding, and now being replaced. I've owned it my own for 1.5 years, am already at this point. Dealership won't replace it, just told me I have it covered under warrantly and oh well. These issues have happened when starting my car in the morning to leave my driveway, won't shift into gear. Driving on the highway attempting to switch lanes and have no acceleration so I slam on the brakes before I get into an accident because I know if it doesn't take off, its not going to until I least expect it.
The car jerks while driving on the highway/local roads and I have reported this matter to the chrysler service center where I take it for maintenance and have not been able to get any appointments. This problem has been ongoing since december 2017 and I reported it january 2018 when I got it serviced at smithhaven chrysler. I called in april 2018 for appointment and was informed there nothing until the end of may but I was leaving the country. Called again in june when I returned to the states and was told there was nothing until august 27, I explained to the secretary the problem with the car and she said "sorry, there's nothing I can do for you". She also said that if I dropped the car off, I wouldn't get the car back for 2 weeks. I have also had a software update done and that helped for about a month.
I first experienced what felt like my transmission wasn't shifting properly right away. I noticed it in lower gears. I took it back to the dealership and they said everything was fine. I then started to experience my engine randomly stalling. I would be going slow and I was usually taking a right turn. I went to turn on my car and it said engine failure. I called the dealership and they said to tow it to them. I received a call that the reason my car ahut off was because there wasn't any oil. I have all my records and my oil had been changed at a dealership less than two weeks prior. So they put oil in it and said I was fine. Within a week my car died turning right on rail road tracks in an instersection. We had to have a police officer come and push us off the tracks and wait for us to get towed. The dealership told my there was a harness that needed to be replaced and it would cost $700! They said that he harness was under my hood when I did research it was discovered that it was in my trunk. They said it needed to be replaced due to water damage. In my trunk? I did research and found this harness was a common issue but it didn't have anything to do with the issues I was having. Now it is a year later and we are having the same issue. My service lights will turn on randomly. My engine stalled on the highway going 70 MPH. I am at a loss what to do. My two year old has been in the car with me when this happens and I just want to know my car is safe to drive.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep cherokee. While driving 56 MPH, the vehicle stalled and a malfunction indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (lithia dodge ram fiat of las cruces, 860 n telshor blvd, las cruces, nm 88011, (575)-888-3588) for diagnostic testing and repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The results of the diagnostic test were unknown. The failure mileage was 20,000.
Vehicle will randomly shut off while in motion. This happened today 7/26/18 and 2 other times this past month. No check engine lights or other warnings. After shutting off nothing on the vehicle works not even hazard lamps.
My jeep in currently being serviced for the third time, same problem. My jeep will stop on the highway, at highway speeds, transmission goes to neutral, engine idles. You stop the car, shift to park and turn the engine off, then you can start it up, all the dash board lights are lit and when you shift to drive it bangs. This same scenario has happened over 20 times.
While driving my 2014 jeep cherokee just shut down. After jumping the battery as soon as we took the cables off the car shut off again. My vehicle was in motion on a city street
When slowing down not coming to a full stop then accelerating my car does not want to move. There is an extreme hesitation, and then boom ~ the car jerks and finally goes. This has been happening for years now. I have had all the software updates ~ it is no better.
Engine code p0520. My repair shop said this is a very common 2014 jeep issue. My sensor says there is no oil pressure, however, my cars oil pressure is fine. Car drives fine other than the engine light on.
The vehicle just stops with no warning while I am driving! The first time was on the nj turnpike doing 70 MPH in the left lane. Started it back up and it did the same thing about 30 minutes later. Took it to jeep service and they said it was a loose wire. Seemed ok for a few months and then it happened again. Jeep replaced the transmission module. Drove it another few months - happened again and this time they replaced the computer system. This is a very dangerous problem and I was petrified to drive the vehicle. When I complained to chrysler, all they could do was offer me a cdi code which is a tiny discount on a new chrysler vehicle. I finally just traded the car in and purchased another vehicle but I lost a lot of money in doing so. This situation is very dangerous and I could have been killed in this vehicle. Let me repeat, this has happened 4 times so below, when you ask "when did this happen" - I am using the date of the last incident.
When parking my car and driving into the space suddenly I had an engine surge. It happened so suddenly. I tried to park it yet again and the same thing happened. This time I received damage to my vehicle when it was stopped by a large light pole. I called triple a and had it brought to the dealership. They put new brakes on the car. I felt secure . The third time I was slowing down due to vehicles in front of me. Suddenly the car surged again. I pulled out of my lane quickly so I would not hit the cars in front of me. Now I was in the oncoming lane. I saw a car horizontal to my car. Brakes did nothing to stop me. I hit her car. It happened so fast. Luckily, the passenger was shaken up and taken to the hospital. This happened on a city st. The vehicle was in the process of turning into the library when the accident happened.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep cherokee. While driving at an unknown speed, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to jeff wyler automotive family (401 milford pkwy a, milford, oh 45150) where it was diagnosed that the oil sensor failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that there was no recall for the failure. The failure mileage was 1,800. The VIN was not available.
After filling up vehicle with gas (2 separate occurrences), the vehicle will cut-off while driving for 1-2 blocks. A prompt on the dashboard would state "place gear into park" and a restart of vehicle would be necessary. First occurrence happen in 2/19/2018 and 3/28/2018. When first occurrence happened, the vehicle was dropped off at dealership and was instructed by service department the vehicle needed to be "flashed or reprogrammed" to resolve issue. Since then, the second occurrence happened recently 3/28/2018 and it needed to be towed to dealership for another inspection/diagnostic. It was then mentioned by service department, the reason for cut-off issue. The vehicle was low on oil (1 quart less). Major concern with vehicle not being trusted worthy while driving and possible accident may happen because of issue. Also being told 2 different reasons why issue happened.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep cherokee. While driving approximately 55 MPH and approaching a red light, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact shifted into park and attempted to restart the vehicle. After five times, the vehicle restarted and then stalled again. The contact stated that the failure occurred every time the oil was low. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the vehicle was consuming a lot more oil than normal. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
2-18-18 in the morning backing out of driveway engine cut offf. 2) 9-12-17 in the daytime on a local town rd. Making a left turn engine cut off. 5-16-17 daytime stopped at a red light on route 17 hwy engine cut off. 6-16-15 daytime going 20 miles an hour engine cut off in the middle of the road local town road. This is happening because the oil level is below a certain level,however the oil is not at a low oil level according to the dipstick. Dealership said we have to check the oil level every time we drive our vehicle. Having many problems with engine/transmission still under warranty but I am not getting any help I was told there is nothing that they can do to help me.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep cherokee. While driving unknown speeds in july of 2017, the vehicle stalled and the service transmission and check engine indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer (darcars chrysler dodge jeep ram of rockville, 755 rockville pike, rockville, md 20852), but they were unable to duplicate the failure.

The service transmission and check engine indicators illuminated again. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 40,729. *tt
While driving about 60 MPH the car lost all acceleration and slowed very quickly, the engine light came on and the assist emergency brake light came on ( I think that was what it said. As I pulled to the road side there was little no rpms . I shut the car off and waited , restarted and still no rpms. I disconnected the battery after googling the problem and restarted and lights where all gone . This was great for about 4 days and maybe 300 miles and again it happened . This time I had my cade reader and received a p1dcd code, I did not clear code but shut engine down and restarted. The car ran with rpms ok but was a bit sluggish . I called dealer when I got home and they said I would have to pay for them to do a diognostic test to figure what the problem is. I drive my kids in the mornings and feel this could lead to a serious accident . I dont feel safe driving it myself let alone my children with me.
Bought the car with 31000 miles on it, at 40000 oil cooler started leaking like a sieve!!!! Dealer says it's not a covered repair! This appears to be a major problem with jeeps.
I was cleaning my driveway and noticed a huge puddle of oil underneath my 2014 jeep cherokee. Upon further inspection I noticed a substantial amount of oil puddled up around the oil cooler assembly. Oil is splashing all over my engine compartment including the exhaust. I'm concerned of a fire starting so I'll have to repair it right away. The complain is simply this: the vehicle is barely 4 years old and has a major problem such as this. It could be a very big safety risk and have read up as it seems to be confined to the year 2014 of similar engine size or type such as 3.2 or 3.6 l v 6 engines.
After having the oil changed on my 2014 jeep cherokee a leak developed. When I took it to the a mechanic the oil filter housing was found to be broken. I spoke with the shop who changed the oil, they state they use a special tool that does not allow the cap to be torqued down to tightly as the oil filter housing breakage is a known issue with jeep, dodge, and chrysler products.
The car continually stalls out without warning. I have taken it to our local dealer twice and they say they can not find any problem. At first they stated the oil level read low. We had them do a complete oil change and one month later the same issue. After reviewing the internet it seems to be a very dangerous safety issue that chrylser dodge jeep just wants to ignore. Mostly occurs when slowing down at a stop sign or red light. Will stall in the middle of the road and the check engine/battery light displays. You need to wait 2-3 minutes and restart. All diagnostic tests report negative. Fear for my safety and that of those on the road with me!
My vehicle has always had difficulty shifting and would often have hard shifts between gears. At 22,562 miles I brought my car in for this issue, prompting jeep to update my vehicle's software. The problem persisted, but I was told it was just the performance of my 4-cylinder engine. At mileage 58,160 while driving on the highway and merging lanes, my vehicle completely lost any ability to accelerate and lost all power functions. I was able to use the vehicle's momentum to get into the breakdown lane. The vehicle had a message on my driver's dash instructing me to shift the car to park. After doing so the vehicle still would not start until I shut it off and restarted the vehicle.again, jeep re-programmed my computer. One week later, on 9/25/2017, the vehicle had the engine seize again while driving at approximately mileage 58,511. Jeep determined that the oil level was very low, even though a full-synthetic valvoline 5w20 had been completed at 53,335 miles and the fluid levels were checked at the dealership one week prior to the incident. The dealership performed an oil change, instructed me that after 50,000 miles it is acceptable for the 2014 jeep cherokee models to burn off 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles and to monitor the oil levels going forward. I mentioned to the dealership that the oil levels had just been inspected at the dealership one week earlier, on 9/18/2017, and was told that fluid levels were normal. As a result, the vehicle would have been burning oil much faster than the 1 quart per 1,000 miles acceptable threshold. I was asked to see if the new oil change would resolve the issue, and to bring my car in at around 60,000 miles to check the oil levels. At 62,052 the vehicle seized again and, upon diagnosis, oil levels were fine. Jeep can determine the problem and cannot offer a solution. It has happened two more times over the last month.
The 2014 jeep cherokee completely stalls while driving with a message that states "must be in p to shift gears". The vehicle also stalls while driving after filling the gas tank, with the same message. The dealer cannot identify the problem. I've seen several other complaints from owners for the exact same thing that don't seem to be getting addressed. Failure to address this issue is a risk to those owning the vehicles as well as others on the roads and poses a major liability to the company if nothing is done to resolve the issue. I'm listing the most recent date, however this is not the first time it's happened.
My jeep cherokee 2014 has been having engine problems since I bought it. Last night was the worst experience, thats why im here. I was on the highway and the jeep just started to brake on its own. I was sliding in the snow and almost fliped. I was able to control the jeep. I had trouble pulling it to the shoulder of the highway. Had to force drive to the side. Would not go on reverse. When the town truck arrived,he had trouble putting it on tow truck. This problem needs to be looked at before someone dies over something that could have been fixed.
