When trying to turn through an intersection, transmission slipped into neutral and would not shift back into drive for several minutes, while I was stuck in the middle of the intersection. After finally shifting into drive, I returned the vehicle home, only 1/2 mile, and it did the same thing 4 more times.

MANUFACTURE DEFICT!!! 2014 cherokee limited, only 25000 miles,the transmission slips into neutral, then stalls once slowed down and requires driver to shift to park; also at red-light, dash will alert to park to shift in gear, then stalls while in traffic; both dealer and independent service center confirmed. engine light comes on, but lights and codes reset with restart. VERY Dangerous and has been a noted Recall in 2019 as a software/electrical correction, yet still occurs since recall; Jeep/Chrysler should fix or offer compensatory vehicle if unrepairable...NOT a failed transmission

Service 4 wheel drive light was coming on intermittently. Had been for just a few days. Driving in a parking lot and all of a sudden the car slips into neutral. Dash board indicated car must be in park to change gears. So I pressed break moved gear shifter to park then drive and continued on my way. It did this several more times before I was able to get it to the transmission shop. I am just glad I wasn’t driving 75 on the freeway and it slips into neutral. There I was told it was the transfer case and would cost 4,000. The consumer stated the vehicle would hesitate after stopping when the vehicle was originally purchased and feels she needs to be reimbursed for the repairs.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the electronic braking system locked up. Additionally, while driving, the transmission was slipping and not shifting into gear as designed. The check engine warning light and service transmission warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission was sealed and the brake module needed to be replaced, and the connector was wet. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

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.

The warning light came on multiple times (first day 10/4/2019 driving locally), regarding servicing the transmission, brake and airbag after starting and in a non-moving mode. On the second day of ownership 10/5/2019, I took it to the closest jeep dealership to have them check on the warning light. The tech advisor gave me a print out of all the error codes showing (quite a few). On the sixth day 10-10-2019, I only had driven it locally when the transmission slipped out of the drive gear when I was at a stop sign. The drive transmission wasn't engaging when I pressed the gas pedal. I put it in 'park' and then back into 'drive', and it then went forward. I drove home, and I parked the jeep in my yard. I didn't drive it again with a real concern that the jeep wasn't safe to drive and not wanting to get stranded along a road somewhere. In 11/2019, I next drove the jeep in my attempt to get it to the dealership service department to have the diagnostics done to find out the exact issues. The transmission did the same thing and slipped out of 'drive' in busy stop and go traffic in route on a 5 lane highway at a traffic light after stopping and giving gas to move forward. This time it took four attempts (placing in park and then drive) before the jeep would drive forward. I made it to the dealership on a prayer five minutes further down the road. The final diagnosis (12/18-2019) was that the jeep needs a transmission/engine wiring harness. 'there is a brake in the transmission control module circuit for communication and depending on how the engine flex's, the communication line drops out and causes the TCM to go offline'. On 4/12/2020, I took photos of the code flashing (see attached images). It wouldn't start. One week later, it started and I drove it in my yard to park it farther out of my main driveway. There it has sat for a few months.

The transmission slips from a stop sometimes. Then other times it's a very firm start and hard shifts. I have researched this a lot. This isn't just mine or a faulty part it is how these transmissions shift. They did a recall and updated software but did t fix the issue. As other people have said the same thing. It's dangerous when I'm pulling out into traffic and I never know if the jeep is going to go or slip.

On 12/19/2019 my wife had an attendant fill up the gas tank at our local service station, less than a 1/2 mile from our house! Around the block from our house the transmission started to slip, the car started to shake, then stalled! The car wouldn't start for awhile! When it finally did start, it was still shaking, but being so close to home, she was able to get it home and in the driveway.the sansone jeep service center claimed that when they filled the tank, they overfilled it causing, and costing me, $839.62 worth of damage, which they decided',, was not their responsibility! Well I beg to differ! The attendant may have rounded up to the nearest dollar, as they often do',, but how is that anything other than a design, and / or engineering failure? I think if 30 cents of fuel rounded up to the nearest dollar does that kind of damage',, that is an expensive and dangerous manufacturing defect, and should be recalled, and not become the consumers liability! If she just pulled on to an expressway',, there could have been a tragedy! I am enclosing photos of the work order and receipt',, because I'm not even sure what the actual damage and repair was, not understanding their jargon! Thank you!
