The owner of a 2014 jeep cherokee latitude purchased this vehicle in may of 2014. Within 3 months I noticed having problems with the dash board with lights or instrument cluster not coming on when vehicle is started. I figured it was a fuse and did not immediately have a concern, but this has occurred at least three times. I take the car to the dealer and reported grinding noise when I turn steering wheel, dash lights going out, and concern of not receiving the gas mileage that I should be receiving. The dealer at jeep chrysler at local state diagnosed as the rack and pinion and needed to be replaced. I travel out of state and during my visit the dash board lights are out again and disables me not to see how fast I am going or how much gas is in the car. I take the car to the dealer and the dealer reports it's the instrument cluster.

Sorry I'm not sure why it does this... When I'm driving sometimes and I take my foot off the gas to slow down.. For some reason my car on it own.. Speeds up.. I watch the RPM and there is a big jump in rev.. I'm not sure what that is.. I actually lurch forward. I'm scared that one day it's going to hit a person or go through the wall of my garage! The second thing is my light switch I am not sure why but twice it's pushed into my dash board .. .the first time it happened I was stuck at dusk .. Couldn't drive.. My normal dealership in north seattle called the dwayne lane in everett and they told my dealership that they won't do warranty work.. So my dealership had to send out a guy from service and drive all the way to everett to do a temporary fix... The third complaint .. Now at 9500 miles there's a leak in my engine coolant.. And it left me stranded in everett and had to be towed.. By the way tried to go to the everett dealership dwayne lane and again they wouldn't help me this time.. I had no ride home and they wouldn't provide a rental car.. Even though I paid for a very expensive extended warranty. I had the car towed the next day to marysville jeep dealership and they are wonderful! Don't buy from dwayne lane in everett!!!! The service department is the worst in the country. I've heard many horror stories from clients.. To tow truck drivers .. To other dealers.
The transmission continues to accelerate while the brakes are being applied. These problems are the worst between going from 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st gears. The jeep accelerates while slowing down when ample pressure is applied to the brakes. Had to swerve off the road onto the shoulder to avoid an accident due to the brakes not acting timely and the vehicle still accelerating due to the transmission. The brand new vehicle has been taken to chrysler two times for this problem and they can't 'duplicate' the problem. Was informed 'the transmission is a learning transmission and will adjust to the driver and to wait until first oil change at 3000 miles to see if the problem persist". The problem is still very present and even worsening. Now, with only 1800 miles on vehicle the turn signals are not working properly. The right turn signal sticks, stays on or randomly turns on. While the left turn signal is not working at all. While driving my brand new vehicle (not even two months old) having to use hand signals to communicate when turning left. Furthermore constantly turn right blinker off. Less then two months old the vehicle will now go in for it's third repair. This vehicle is very unsafe!!
I keep my headlights on the automatic setting at all times. Approximately 4-5x's since owning this vehicle I have gotten in and there would be no lights. The 1st time I thought it was a blown fuse and realized that the headlight knob was turned to the off position. I thought someone must have switched it, but after the 3rd time it happened over a number of months I called the dealer who said there was no way that could occur without someone switching it because the knob has to be physically turned.I would tend to agree with him but the knob is located in a place where it would be almost impossible to hit it with your knee or otherwise change it without knowing. My husband is the only other driver, and neither of us change the lights from the auto setting. I am only looking to get this on record at this point, but it is a safety hazard since the dash lights up inside even if the lights are off outside, so it's not readily apparent that the headlights aren't on.
