My transmission shifts hard, clunks into gear, jerks, sometimes doesn't respond to acceleration. I had it completely replaced with billion automotive via service manager mike lavin in 2018. The new transmission is acting exactly the same way.

I own a 2014 jeep cherokee sport. While I'm driving at various speeds, the transmission inadvertently shiftes to neutral causing the vehicle to lose motive power. It also will rev it's self while stationary, my car will loose power or gain its own rpms while on a flat hwy, this problem is getting worse. The transmission software needes to be reprogrammed. According to the federal safety agency campaign #'s 19v447000 & 16v529000 the recall #'s associated with this same issues I'm having are v69 & s55. When I type in my VIN# to check for these recalls my vehicle is not listed has having any recalls. My specific vehicle needs to be added so I can properly have these issues resolved.
This is regarding the auto makers recall number w47 and the federal safety agency campaign number 20v343. Even though my vehicle is suffering the same power transfer unit issue with front wheel slipping, my vehicle has not been counted towards the recall. It has recently been diagnosed with a faulty ptu and needs to be repaired. This is a category 1 recall issue which may result in injury/death. There are over 67,200 vehicles already recalled and my vehicle needs to be recalled as well.

Keeps saying shift to park, then desired gear. Runs ruff and then dies. Restarted it 5 times. The tailgate was fixed once and only worked for about a week. Changed the fuses and it still does not work when you press the tail gate button on the key fob, or inside the vehicle. The speedometer flashes all the time.
Following transmission related recalls r01, s55, u63, v69, and the latest one in august 2020 w47- the transmission will shift into neutral with out warning in motion. The dealership attempted to reprogram and replace the TCM at no resolve. Jeep has been contacted and responded with a "no goodwill" approach, as in not assisting in any way.
Automatic downshifting rough, often will stay in higher gear when defending, causing jarring when turning as the vehicle has to jump from 5th gear to 2nd when making the turn. Downshifting in general is rough and unpredictable.
In october of 2020 while driving on the highway my jeep shut off and lost all motive and electric power. The steering wheel locked up and the brakes applied themselves. My wife was driving, doing about 40-45mph. A message came up that said put vehicle in park and turn off. After doing so my wife was able to turn the vehicle back on and get home safely. We took our jeep into to be looked at by the dealership. They said they found a code for low voltage but the battery was good, just loose connections. . No other codes were present. They also stated that they found loose grohnd cables to the chassis and PCM, both were tightened. On 11/18/2020 after filling my gas tank, I turned on to the frontage road and my jee again lost all power. Gave me a message that vehicle must be stopped before shifting gears.
Transmission failed driving down a two lane hill into town at 35-40 MPH. Engine light came on. Transmission did not want to re-engage after complete stop. Felt like transmission was starting out in 5th or 6th gear. Had vehicle towed to dealer. Dealer has estimated replacement of transmission to $5000. That's 25% the purchase price of the vehicle. If transmission purchased from somewhere else, it still has to go back to dealer for computer programming.
My car constant jerks and cuts off because of the transmission. This happens no matter when I am located. This happens whenever I drive my car.

Service shifter long standing jeep issue
Vehicle spontaneously shifted into neutral while driving in the morning of 11/3/2020 to work. I had just gone up a small hill into my work parking lot and was going 10mph or less. I had just begun to press on the brake to slow before turning into a parking space when I felt my vehicle lose power. I immediately stopped the vehicle and shifted it into park, my car stalled so I turned the ignition and restarted my car. When I shifted it into drive and began to release my foot of the brake I felt the car slightly roll back before the gear shifted into drive.I parked my car and went into work. After online research, there was a recall (chrysler recall no. V69) on 2014 jeep cherokee suvs with a 3.6l engines with the same issue regarding the transmission software. My vehicle is a 2.4l engine but had the same exact pattern as listed by other owners such as recently filling up the gas tank and it giving a warning on the dashboard screen but having no warning lights or other indicators that there was an issue. I took my vehicle to a jeep dealership on 11/4/2020 and had the software updated. Upon closer inspection by the dealership they concluded that the transmission needs a full replacement. I have contacted jeep directly and they have stated there was an extended warranty on (x80- 9spd transmission) that expired in august of 2020. I never received notification of this, or of the need to update the TCM or PCM.
Brought my jeep trailhawk 2014 for recall software update for ptu spline update! Why because there ptu unit is defective! Software did not fix error message? Now my jeep is only 2wheel drive not awd! Chrysler will not reimburse for their mistake! Took them 6 years to do a call?
I have a 2014 jeep cherokee trailhawk, with 77,000. The service 4wd light has came on multiple times. The dealership has told me that it is the ptu and needs replaced and will be $2550. This is a known issue with this year of vehicle.
On several occasions numbering an excessive amounts my 2014 jeep cherokee latitude 9-speed transmission has exhibited the hard shifting sluggish shifting and jerking since I've owned the vehicle . Beginning in august of 2020 I noticed on multiple occasions that when I went to pull out from a complete stop my vehicle would not go and would drop into neutral suddenly and I would have to return the vehicle to park and back to drive to get it to move and has caused me to almost be in a vehicular accident on two multiple occasions on the same day and I am concerned for my safety in this vehicle. I have researched and seen that there are numerous recalls for this model and make but mine jeep is not included but it exhibits the same problems and it has the same make and model that numerous recalls were issued for.
2014 jeep - cherokee trailhawk - differential malfunctioning. There seem to be widespread issue with the differential malfunctioning. Took the car for service and the mechanic found that the rear differential is leaking fluid all over. They checked the differential fluid level and noted excessive amount of metal present in diff. And fluid that leaked. This makes the car very dangerous to drive because the wheels can lock anytime. They called the dealer for parts and the dealer confirmed that they have been seeing excessive amounts of cars with such issues. There are shortage of the part nationwide. More than 150 cases reported to the dealer in santa cruz. The dealer is expecting to receive 50 parts after 45 days leaving more than 100 vehicles with no solution. The mechanic was in shock to see the excessive damage and deemed the car as a ticking time bomb. I researched online and found several people reporting this issue: https://www.carproblemzoo.com/jeep/cherokee/differential-unit-problems.php jeep need to address this problem. There needs to be a recall and support for the customers who are not unable to use the car or use it and put their life and others in danger.
Jeep cherokee 4x4 limited (less than 61,000 miles) will have transfer of power between front wheels (4x4 not engaged) and delay of power transfer. From a complete stop, power transferred from left to right front wheel multiple times causing the vehicles to swerve back and forth. Afterwards, a continuous audible grinding and popping sound-most notable when the wheels are turned.
After filling up my car everytime it shuts off in the middle of the road and switches to neutral. Rpm shoots up randomly and shuts off
My jeep, after getting gas, stalls out, wants to jump into gear, stall while driving, and at stop lights wants to stall. I believe it is a computer problem that is effecting the transmission. As this has happened before, it seems as though when the computer has an opportunity to re-boot, a day later, it seems to be fine. Although the problem seems to "fix" itself, there still issues with the way the transmission shifts. This needs to be addressed and a recall on the issue needs to take place.
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.
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.
This is the second incident since purchasing the vehicle new in 2014. Less than a year after purchase the transmission had to be replaced. This incident the jeep lost all power and would not go into either drive or park creating an extremely unsafe situation. Was told it had to do with a recall and needed a new pcu. That was two months ago! I am still without my jeep and have now been told it needs another new transmission.
Service shifter light popped on while I was driving at 40pmh on a city street. Drove the 2 miles home and parked vehicle, turned off engine and back on and it disappeared. Less that 40,000 miles on vehicle.
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.
The "service shifter" warning coming up during drive or when parked, the engine refuse to start or the gear refuse to shift when this happened. It's very nondeterministic and could cause serious accident.
The 2014 jeep cherokee trail hawk has had multiple issues with it not shifting into gear, being "confused" after coming to a stop and not shifting into the proper gear. When trying to accelerate after a red light or stop sign vehicle will not go when the accelerator is engaged, then after a few seconds it unexpectantly lunges forward into gear and into traffic. All recalls have pointed to this being a "software" issue and I have had all software recalls completed on the transmission and the problem persists. This vehicle has had this problem shortly after purchase and continues to have it on a daily basis. Recently this issue cased the 4wd unavailable light to go off, and now the vehicle will not shift in 4wd low. After multiple trips to the dealer the consensus is that the batter is not functioning properly even though it is operating at the proper current and voltage.
The rear differential/power module assembly made from cast iron split along a casting fault and lost almost all of its fluid. I only discovered this when I noticed a large puddle of fluid on my driveway and the service 4wd light cane on when I started the vehicle. I had the vehicle towed to my local service station and they had never seen anything like this before, but had located similar stories online with even worse pictures same vehicle year and mileage (101,000 mi). Suggested I call jeep dealer and chrysler. I called both and they would not contribute anything toward the repair. This vehicle was never in an accident or abused in any way. I feel this is an obvious manufacturing defect and should have been replaced under a recall. If this had occurred at high speed I also feel it could have been quite dangerous.
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.
