When driving the jeep it feels sluggish and appears to trying to find a gear to shift to. It clunks when pulling away from a stop. Sometimes the transmission takes a long time to shift and the rpms go to about 3800 to 4000 before it will shift. This has been an ongoing issue with this model and year jeep. How is it that the government allows auto companies to get away with this. I do not have the money to have this fixed when it is a manufactures problem. I am seeing more than enough complaints to warrant a recall or tsb.
2014 Jeep Cherokee engine complaints
Page 6 of 19: complaints 131 to 160 of 524, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Accelerating lag when you make a turn, it also hesitates when you accelerate. It's jerking while accelerating and it could be dangerous in the road.
The vehicle shifted into neutral as we entered into an intersection. Has occurred more than once. The vehicle had been checked for the past recall some time ago. The dealership tells us its a sensor that is failing. Still waiting on parts.
Everything that the internet says about the 2014 jeep cherokee tigershark engine and the 9 speed transmission is happening and has been since 2017. It has been to the dealership at least 4 times involving the same thing. Engine stalls on the freeway!!! Stops shifting. Wont go into drive. Slams into gears. Jeep says its a battery, low oil or motor mount problem. There is no way this is why this is happening. The transmission and the engine are the problem and they will not fix it. 2020 alone it has been at the dealership for at least 2 to 3 weeks. I have communication and service records, case numbers from jeep that dont do anything, this is unacceptable to not fix something they did not do correctly.
My 2014 jeep cherokee will stall unexpectedly. This has happened while accelerating and/or turning at a stop sign or red light. I took it to the dealership and they described it as follows "the stalling is a safety feature when the oil gets low". The dealership checked the oil and it was very low. This is a repeated problem and happens before the recommended 5000 miles oil change frequency. The last time it happened, the "oil life" screen said I had 28% oil life left ( I had been following it to avoid stalling out unexpectedly.... Which didn't help and I once again stalled at a red light in traffic). My main safety concern is the fact that there is no indicator light for low oil, and the first indication is my car stalling out in traffic which could cause a wreck. This can't be safe nor meet safety guidelines/requirements. My second concern is the fact that my engine is burning off that much oil so quickly (verified to have no leaks in the system). When searching the internet, I have found this to be a common problem with people stating they also had no indication except for the sudden stalling out. I feel this is something that should be fully investigated as a safety concern. It seems to have at least enough of a case to be a lawsuit in two states (california and michigan) at the time of me writing this- sep2020.
While traveling at speeds of 45mph in the city the gear shifted into neutral and the vehicle shut off and informed me to put the car into "p" after doing so I tried to start the vehicle but it was inoperable and the message "service the shifter" appeared on the dash with all lights on the shifter illuminated
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep cherokee. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle stalled with the instrument panel indicating shift to park and shift to desire gears. The failure recurred numerous times. The contact also stated that while entering a driveway or while in reverse and also while driving the vehicle would start to shake and jerk violently. The contact also mentioned that the steering wheel locked up and pulled to the left while her daughter was driving. The instrument panel indicated shift to park and shift to desire gears and also indicated service transmission and also service brakes. The contact powered off the vehicle and restarted the vehicle, shifted out of neutral then into park before selecting drive. The vehicle drove normal to half a block before the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to spirit automotive chrysler dodge jeep ram (4611 avenue q, lubbock, tx 79412), but was not diagnosed. The mechanic updated the transmission control software under the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v447000 (power train). After leaving the dealer, the vehicle started to shake and before reaching her residence the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted, coasted into her driveway and stalled. The contact called an independent mechanic and was advised to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer for them to update the software again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The technician called the contact and informed her the vehicle was ready for pick up however, the failure recurred. The contact schedule an appointment for a diagnostic test which was still pending. The failure mileage was approximately 97,700.
Again the check engine light came on. This is our 2nd engine and the dealer says it is this new engine that needs to be replaced. The jeep will idle rough, shift on it's own, all the same transmission issues. And now the parking brake locked up and I had to have it towed home. I assume it is the transimission because it still will throw it in neutral while driving.
I need to put oil in my car at least two times in between oil changes. My car has stopped multiple times when I turn because it ran out of oil. The engine burns oil so fast. I don't drive that much. This is expensive and very very dangerous. This car needs to be recalled.
The car started leaking coolant. The radiator hose and seams on the radiator were leaking which caused the car to overheat.
The oil filter housing cracked. When the car was stationary it would drip oil. When the car was moving it would spray oil on the underside of the car and engine compartment.
Engine oil pressure sensor/switch is circuit is malfunction. (obd fault code p0520 ) keeps on going on for a few days then off for for a few days. Even right after an oil change performed by the dealer. This have been ongoing for about the past 2 years. Approx. $400 to repair and the part cost on $40-$60.
Engen light is on, oil light is on. Oil sensor is not working.I am told the sensor is causing all of this and a $ 600.00 repaired required, but not garetied to solve my problem. ?? The lights came on after I got an oil change , when I was pulling out into traffic. Also the light indicator on shifter position light up all positions.
While driving my jeep revs into high gear, then all of the symbols on my dash light up and then my jeep jolts and then shuts off. I have to put it into park and wait about 30 seconds and then try to turn it back on, sometimes it takes 2-3 times to turn back on.
Its doing just what the recall stated ..the engine light is on and then it cuts off while I'm driving and telling me to shift to park to restart and continues to do this several times before I get to a safe destination
Driving on highway when over temperature light came on. Coolant leak cause by rubbing on coolant overflow line. Poor design of engine components.
Oil pressure sensor keep going out.
Transmission issues!! Not shifting gears correctly. Engine light comes on and off weekly
On numerous occasions while driving, the jeep has not shifted gears properly and engine shuts off. Engine will be in drive and upon trying to gas the engine, it fails to shift automatically and engine shuts off.
When first purchased vehicle problem were it acting like it wasn't getting up the speed now again im having the same problem as I did before with the stalling and acting like it don't want to run. The gear throtters and the vehicle runs very slow was in traffic and was so afraid someone w as going to run into me cause all a sudden the jeep started stalling and not moving after a few minutes it then would put up speed this is very unsafe im afraid to drive my 2014 jeep cherokee because of the stalling and the transmission light keep coming on check transmission I have taken it to jeep twice within a two week period and im having the same problem first they serviced the transmission said nothing was wrong with the transmission secondly a week or less later the light came back on again I took it back they said put a brand new battery in it the same problem I asked jeep was there a recall on that particular vehicle if so it need to be addressed and fix before it causes a traffic accident. Im so afraid if there's a solution that could have been corrected if jeep been having problems with any transmission issue with the 2014 jeep cherokees . Only had this vehicle 4 years and I keep it service .the vehicle had to be towed over a week ago because of the same issue because the transmission service light came back on the vehicle would not move was fearful.getting a warning put gear in park cut off vehicle and restart when did it continue to stalling and would not switch in drive motion.
My car sometimes stall when I stop then takes an extended time to restart. I know there was a recall in 2012 for the fuel pump sensor not sure if I have the same problem.
After having the recall for the transmission control module fixed my car started stalling out. It shifts into neutral while driving and you have to stop and shift to park then back to drive. It will not idle for long and will die if you don't constantly pump the gas pedal. It almost died on me while making a left turn into a parking lot in on coming traffic. And it didn't want to go up hill into my driveway, which is a tiny incline. I didn't have any issues with my car until after the recall.
Stalling, when vehicle comes to a stop or slows down it stalls and hard to start.
The vehicle switches gears to neural and turns the vehicle off. While driving about to make a left hand turn the vehicle stalled turning the car completely off making me restart the vehicle in this fashion: (step on break, switch gear into park and restart) lots of issues with transmission skipping. This happened after I got it from a dealer only been the owner for about a year seems like vehicle keeps getting worse.
Oil was leaking, jeep was taken to kleyn auto, kleyn auto told me the oil assembly had to be replaced, due to excessive oil leaking. A new oil filter housing was installed. The cost of the repair was $631.01
When the gas pedal is accelerated the engine pushes back. Seems like it's a transmission problem. Service shifter light is on. Loud engine when driving.
The transmission slips, it disengages and puts the car in neutral. It also jerks. The car was in traffic, had to pull over.
After filling the vehicle with gas it will hesitate and stall out while driving. It tells you to put the car in park and then you have to re crank it to shift back to drive. After the tank is about 3/4 full it stops stalling.
Engine oil cooler dripping oil onto exhaust creating (possible) fire hazard. The local dealer had this part in stock. I know other owners of 2014 cherokees who have experienced this problem.
Every time gas is added to the tank the jeep stalls out at stop lights. A message appears about putting it in park and then picking a gear. It is dangerous and should be recalled again. The happened on a busy road at a major intersection and at every stop sign and even while slowing to make a turn.*dt *ln consumer stated manufacture has known about the sudden stall issue at least 2 years but did not notify the owner and recalled numerous times.*jb *ln
