While driving, the vehicle shifts very rough. Whether on the interstate or just driving around town. It also idles very high, and uses a lot of excess gas. Also, when I turn the vehicle on there are times that nothing will appear on the lcd screen, so I am unable to control anything in the car as far as electronics, climate, radio, phone etc. Even turning the vehicle off and then back on does not work. Eventually it just turns back on, while driving. Every once in a while a message will come across the screen stating there is something wrong with the phone in the car and to contact the dealer.
Noticed oil dripping so took jeep (2014 jeep cherokee) in to look to see if oil filter was put on correctly. Mechanic said oil everywhere, showed me pool of oil sitting under filter all over engine parts. He de-greased engine and found the oil filter housing was cracked and needed to be replaced. Had I not noticed, engine could have heated up and caused engine fire! One jeep blogs, many eple indicate same issue with poor part. Should not have to worry about housing cracking even on 5 year old car that was $35k.
Car shuts off while driving. Leaving me stuck in middle of road and will not turn on for prolonged period of time.
Vehicle occasionally bogs down and sometimes stalls at various speeds and conditions. Sometimes this will occur several times in a row and sometimes it will go days, even weeks without reoccurring. The jeep dealer kept car for several days said several test drives found no problem and the diagnostics and onboard computer codes were normal. This is a potentially vary dangerous problem if trying to pull out into traffic on the interstate or trying to pass someone. The problem is reported all throughout the internet but nothing in recalls. All recalls on this VIN have been completed.
Car shuts off while driving , engine stalls , car downshifts when excellerating on highway . Dealer has replaced engine and transmission, car still shifts rough and has started stalling again
I was driving on the freeway going 70 MPH my car started beeping and said service transmission. Restart in park with vehicle speed at zero. Once is gave me that message it was as if my car went into neutral and it wouldn't let me speed up or anything no matter how much I pushed on the gas. I was in the middle lane and my speed kept decreasing and I almost got hit 3 times trying to get over to restart my car. Once I finally got over I had to turn my car off and restart it. I have had this happen more than once and I'm terrified I'm going to be in a horrible accident.
Service shifter light came on and gear shift lights are all red,p,r,n,d
My jeep sputters and dies after gas fill up. Very dangerous as it happens at random and has scared my family as trucks bare down on us as we are stalled in the road unable to get car to restart. About 1 to 3 miles after fill up the problem disappears until next gas fill. Please issue recall before someone gets killed. In motion car is sputtering and unable to gain speed. Once at a stop car immediately dies locking all power functions and is difficult to restart. This has happened several times.
I purchased my car on 10/1/19 with 98,000 miles. A few short days later my car started driving horrible. Shaking,bucking, jerking, hesitating to accelerate and shift and my engine light came on while driving, scanned it and was showing p0520 oil pressure sensor. That was replaced. Car was still driving the same and 3 days later while driving my engine light came on again, this time code p06dd. Brought my car to the mechanic where he had it 3 week. My oil pump was replaced with a new oem pump. The very next day while driving my engine light went on again, throwing the same code p06dd. Brought back to the dealer where my car was low 2 quarts of oil. Was told to bring it to jeep for recall and diagnosis. Jeep has my car for 4 days, completed the recall but was unable to diagnose my car. Upon leaving the jeep dealer my engine light came back on and now my car was stuck in safe mode and would not go over 60mph. I brought my car back to the dealer where I purchased it. They had my car for two weeks and replaced my engine. I picked my car up on 12/6/19 from the dealer I purchased from, who just replaced my engine. With a new engine, the car is still not driving right. It is still shaking,bucking, jerking, hesitating to accelerate, hesitating to shift out of all gears. I had my tires balanced 2 times.on 1/13/2020 my car while driving on the highway went into safe mode again. Not going over 60mph. This time no engine lights are on. I brought it back to the dealer I purchased from, they hooked up the computer..which showed no codes. It took my car out of safe mode but did not fix any of the problems I'm having. Today, 1/21/20 my car went back into safe mode while driving. Will not go over 60mph and there are no lights on the dash showing there is a problem. This car is not safe. I am a single mom with 2 kids and I will not jeopardize mine or their lives in this vehicle.
Oil filter housing cracked spilling oil on top of motor very common problem fire hazard part has been redesigned from plastic to metal noticed oil all over engine burning smell when driving and parked
After filling gas tank, jeep will unexpectedly lose power and shut off. This happens several times. Accelerating and pumping gas to keep it running will speed the process of returning to normal operation. Gas is never overfilled. Once pump shuts off no additional fuel is added at pump. Took to dealership. They charged over 900 to replace the ECM. Problem repeated on next fill up. This problem is widely reported on the internet even though dealership denies any knowledge of problem
When we started to accelerate the jeep jerked into gear. We started to hear a clanking noise and sounded like a part was rattling. Since it did not sound good we pulled over and called a tow truck to tow it to the dealership nearest to us. After the inspection, the dealership told us that the ptu on our 2014 jeep cherokee was busted and the car is no longer able to be driven. Prior to this event we took the jeep into another dealership several times telling them that when we accelerate it jerks into gear. They told us that three updates need to be done on the software of the vehicle. We were told that the updates has to do with the communication of the transmission and the parts that are involved when you accelerate the vehicle. After we completed the updates the jeep drove smooth but then started jerking again shortly after. Now the cost of replacing the ptu is over $2000. We have read multiple forums and feedback from other 2014 jeep cherokee customers that have had the same problem. I have come to the conclusion that this is a manufacturer defect and this should be covered by chrysler.
While driving on 2 occasions this week my car stalled out of the blue and I lost power. Additionally my car on several occasions has shifted into neutral on it owns while driving. After doing research on the problems I found that some 2014 jeep cherokees were recalled for this exact issue but my car was not in the recall.

Jeep cherokee latitude 2.4l has shut down with no warning while driving. It has stopped entering city streets and when braking hard to avoid another car. When the vehicle stops and suddenly its steering wheel gets hard to steer . The dash comes on with an error on screen saying, "car must be in park in order to shift." turning the key does nothing until we try multiple times.
After refueling, my wife stopped at a stoplight and the engine just shutoff with out warning. The screen in the car said to put it in park and then in drive. The car then start with out pushing the start button. This happened four times in the same day so she drove to the local jeep dealership. Jeep said it was a problem with the fuel pump module and it happens when the car is over filled. My wife always stops putting when the pump handle clicks off. They have had her car for over 30 days because there are no new pumps available. This is a major safety issue that can happen at anytime. Her car has only 36,500 miles on it. This is a known problem and jeep is not doing anything to fix it.
Recall: "2014-2015 jeep cherokee vehicles equipped with 9-speed automatic transmissions. The transmission sensor clusters may have insufficient crimps in the transmission wire harness, and as a result, the transmission may unexpectedly shift to neutral." I have a 2014 jeep, this is exactly what my car is doing! My VIN# is not listed as having a recall on it?? This will just happen at any moment no warning, it will jerk forward sometimes, then others times, it just comes out of gear and the screen saids to put in park then back to the gear. Kinda hard to do that in the middle of the interstate or busy highway. (I'm going to get killed!) it seems to loose power/ it sounds/feels like it's stuck in a lower gear than it should be at times.
Engine oil cooler leaking. Car has 69000 miles and the plastic engine oil cooler mounted on the engine block is leaking. Seals are bad because of the design of the part. Multiple 2014 cherokees have this issue. Known issue for local dealer. Significant fluid buildup under the car and monthly need to refill oil with issue.
My daughters jeep cherokee sport 2.4l at 62000 miles has shut down with no warning while driving. It has stopped entering city streets and when braking hard to avoid another car. When the vehicle stops and suddenly its steering wheel gets hard to steer . The dash comes on with an error on screen saying, "car must be in park in order to shift." turning the key does nothing until we try multiple times.
The oil filter adapter leaks oil, causing it to pool on top of the engine. Fire hazard! This is an ongoing issue for me, and a quick google search reveals many consumers with the same problem. My vehicle only has 50,000 miles.
My vehicle between 50,000 to 62500 miles have been shutting down with no warning while driving. It has stopped entering highway and on city streets. When the vehicle stops and suddenly its steering wheel locks up and I cannot steer vehicle. I have already paid for myself to get alternator replaced, cabin filter, new spark plugs, and several batteries and problem still exists. I have had this vehicle 17 months.
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 bought the jeep 8/2017 and took it to the dealership mid 2018 and complained to the dealership that the jeep accelerates on its own while I'm driving that I have to put my foot in the break to slow the jeep down. Right after the dealership finished their testing they stated that they didn't notice any acceleration with the jeep was fine but it was still accelerating while I drive it and right after I left the dealership the engine started knocking making a ticking sound and had been doing it a year after I brought it. I'm scared I will get in an accident because it seems to speed up (accelerates) on its own. This happens on the city streets mostly and more if I'm goin down a small hill with my foot on the break it automatically speeds up and the engine reves up past 3 to 4 RPM with my foot in the break. My electric problem is the radio and backup camera doesn't not alway come on when I turn on the jeep some times it takes like 5 mins for it to come out or it comes in after I've drive a few blocks. I let the car run and warm up before I pull off.
Filled up the gas tank and jeep started stalling with in the first mile of driving, was thinking it might be the fuel cap so I tightened it and drove the jeep for a few miles and everything went back to normal. Next time, after another fill up a month later, my car stalled when I stopped at a stop sign about a mile after fill up, I was able to pull over, and I checked the gas cap again to be sure it was tight and restart the engine, then while in motion going thru a turn at an intersection about 1/4 of mile down the road, it tried to stall again but luckily didn't completely shut off,and the transmission shifted to neutral, and the display said I needed to place jeep in park then select drive. I was able to coast to the side of the road, and placed the shifter to neutral then back to drive. I proceeded down the road and the vehicle again shifted in to neutral and the display stated the same, to place in park then select drive. This all happened within two miles after filling up. I drove it anothe 60 miles or so after this with no problems. Had no real problems before this, other than the shifting lag everyone has complained about. All recalls have been addressed. Not sure if this is one problem causing the other or two separate problems.I will test it out on a back road and try to get a picture of the display if it happens again and plan a visit to the dealer for a service check after the holiday weekend.

Found oil leaking from engin in my drive way. Took to garage who changed oil thay checked car . Found oil filter housing leaking oil . I went on line and found many people have this problem in 2014.jeep changed this part from metal to plastic on the3 .3 v6 engin I have an appointment on 11/26/2019 at island jeep on staten island n.y at 10 am the estimate for repair around 800 dollars my issue is after fixing it it can happen again . Because the plastic material used to make part is not suitable for the high temp on manifold whear it attaches to engin .
The vehicle shuts off while in drive and results in hard start with rough idle. The vehicle says that it is in park and needs to shift into gear in order for it to move. This vehicle was in motion and happened multiple times on city streets, highways, turning, and braking. This could result in a fatal crash for others on the road. Ecu tcu ECM are believed to be at fault for this per jeep. The jeep is in shop and awaiting invoices to see if this fixes the problem. I believe it is the same recall as the v6 version.
I took my vehicle into the dealership where I bought it to have a oil leak checked out. Was shown the problem and was quoted a repair price of $850. I later began investigating the problem when the technician stated it was a known issue with the model of my vehicle. Upon further investigation I have discovered that the federal safety agency has a service bulletin for the issue; sb-10058301-5939. This is a potential fire risk, why has this not been addressed.
