Vehicle trembles on occasions while in operation as if it it's going to turn off. Additionally, the motor feels very forced on occasions and it has stopped while in operation in the middle of the road. The back seat door handles fall off and the dashboard keeps making a rattling noise while the vehicle is turned on.
The vehicle just froze up yesterday 15 feb 2016 . It would not start , the brakes were completely locked up on it. Tried and tried to get it to start and it would not. Took it in this morning on a flat bed hauler and took it to the dealership at I 77 jeep in ripley wv.

If it had locked up while my wife was driving it it would be a very bad results . The vehicle was stationedare and was in the garage.
My 2015 jeep cherokee latitude shut off on me while I was driving not even a full week of owning it. The vehicle gauges go to zero and I loose power steering and when I apply the gas pedal nothing happens. All I am able to do is press the brake pedal and hopefully not have anyone behind me so that I can try and pull over with no power steering. I have taken it into the dealer on several occasions showing them both video and photo documentation of what is happening and they have been unable to duplicate this issue and have not provided me with an alternative as to getting another vehicle or my money back. The vehicle first shut off on me 18sep2015 and has continued to do so on the highway and on city streets with the most recent time being 14feb2016. I have all of my documentation of every time its been in the shop for the same problem with no resolution being provided.

Purchased jeep and have had safety issues with inconsistent shifting since day one. I have returned to the dealer 19 times for shifting issues and other complaints. At the present time I continue to have a "service shifter" light come on in the vehicle. The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion. You can try to reset the shifter to let the computer try to recognize the error, but it doesn't work. Technicians have told me not to drive with the light on as the car may shift in a different gear or even reverse. Chrylser star technicians keep resetting the software, however the light continues to come back on randomly. I have expressed my concerns and fears with the shifting, however they do not know what is causing the problem nor how to fix the issue so they continue to reset the computer. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle as I never know when the light will come on nor what it will do. Found error codes u146500 and p1c861d. Performed flash updates. Dates of issues: 6/29/15, 07/17/15, 09/06/15, 12/01/15. I also have problems with inconsistent shifting and take of. You can try to accelerate and the car will not go but the RPM's will rise. The car will suddenly take off after a 4-5 second delay. This has caused me great fear as sometimes you will go to turn and the car pauses before taking off. By the time it does take off you have turned in front of an oncoming car. Again chrysler star technicians have told me I am "over sensitive" and the car functions as any 9 speed transmission is designed to do.

The vehicle service engine light keeps coming on, service transmission light comes on. Vehicle shifts in and out of gear on its own. Parking brake activates on its own. The start/stop malfunction light comes on. It has been towed in to dealership 3 times. These problems have occurred while vehicle was in motion.
My car has had transmission issues from very early on. I can step on the gas, the engine revs up but does not register on the tachometer, then all of a sudden it catches and goes. I have been in 4 or 5 situations where I started pulling out into traffic and the car simply hesitated for several seconds before going. I actually had a very close call with a tractor trailer because of this hesitation. Also, you can step on the gas to accelerate and once at the desired speed then let off the accelerator and the engine stays at the accelerated RPM's for several seconds then shifts back out to normal RPM's. Also, the car has had 4 separate electrical issues in 4 months as well. The check engine light comes on, then the engine cooling fan runs fast for about 30 minutes then shuts back down. I have had my vehicle at he dealership for problems 5 times in 4 months and they can't seem to find what the issue is or what to do to correct it.

July 31, 2015: vehicle transmission overheated warning light came on while driving (8-10 miles) in morning and again in afternoon. In pm turned of vehicle and restarted, various warning lights including transmission requires service warnings appeared and transmission was stuck in one gear. July 31-augusts1 jeep was at dealer for complete transmission replacement (approximately 5500 miles). October 5-october 7 vehicle left with dealer due to continued transmission issues while driving. Vehicle periodically clunks and jerks forward when shifting into low gear when coming to a stop. Becomes confused when slowing to a rolling stop, and hesitates to take off when accelerating from a stop. Currently when driving in daylight the auto headlights periodically flicker on and off when I drive through a shadow and make viewing displays in daylight problematic. Jeep customer care says that they could find no error codes and without "replicating the problem" or having error codes they can't do anything.
I bought a 2015 jeep cherokee trailhawk v6 on 10/14/15. On 10/16/15 while driving down a street at 45mph, the vehicle died. I managed to get off to the side of the road and after a couple of attempts it started again. The check engine light was now on and I had no acceleration. I managed to drive 5 miles to the dealership in "limp mode" and drop it off for repairs. The last I heard on 10/17/15 was that they were going to replace the TCM and PCM and see if that helps, it is now 10/21/15 and I do not have an update.

I leased for 39 months a brand new jeep cherokee latitude 2015 at 10/25/2015 on champion chrysler jeep dodge dealer. It will complete 9 months that I have this car. On 3/16/215 there was the 1st recall about an issue on airbags that could open accidentally. On 6/5/2015 there was the 2nd recall (I am not sure what was the issue). On 6/15/2015 I had an issue about transmission system and I couldn't move the car in indy downtown. I couldn't turn the car on. My car was on dealer for service for 5 days. They changed the entire transmission system. On 7/5/2015 I was in ny and I almost had an accident because I heard an alarm and it was popping up an icon on the jeep panel, and then I realized that the steering wheel was really hard when I tried to turn 90 degrees on a crossroad. I almost hit the curb and the car behind me almost hit me. I needed to turn off and turn on the car several times to move the car. I intended to leave ny on sunday to work on monday but I did not feel safe to travel almost 12 hours. I waited until monday to go to a dealer in ny and check what was wrong about the car. On monday I went to a jeep dealer on warwick - ny and they said that they didn't have the spare part to change on my car and that I need to wait at least one more day so they could order and fix. But he also said that I could drive, but the wheel would be hard sometimes. I just need to pay attention on 90 degrees turns and u turns. I came back home listening the alarm all the trip. I left the car on champion dealer at 7/7/2015 and after one day they fixed the issue. At ny dealer they said that need to change some part and on champion they just fixed and didn't change nothing. My car is just 9 months old and I had several and important issues. I bought a new car. I just want to put gas and drive. I already lost several hours of work and I do not feel safe about this car.
Was traveling to work and there was a car ahead of me. This person had out of state plates and was not paying attention, speeding up and then slowing down several time. The person behind me and passed both of us. In fact he was the one the I ran into. Then when I approached the next town to get on the 4 lane, there is a turn off that everyone uses to get to the school. I don't remember what happened to the green out of state car, I think he did a quick left turn in front of me, and then I hit the guy that passed both of us. He was stopped waiting for the car ahead of him to turn. Needless to say, I was charged with failing to stop in an assured clear distance. The sun was bright and I seen no brake or turn signals. The front end of my 10 day old vehicle sustained over 8600 dollars in damage so far. My concern is why did the air bags not go off at 50 MPH when I hit the back of his 2012 buick? I was taken by ambulance to be checked out as the seat belt hurt my chest and possible broken finger. Later that night I returned to the hospital for a head ct and chest xray for dizziness and headaches. I still have head aches when I bend over and will most likely consult my doctor for possible whip lash. The other driver was not hurt, but was told his vehicle was going to be total loss. We just bought this and now I am concerned about safety! Both the adjustor and I were concerned why they didn't deploy. The whole front end of my vehicle is destroyed. From bumper back to radiator, which was destroyed.

My husband and I bought a brand new 2015 jeep cherokee trailhawk. 2 weeks after owning our brand new car that we purchased because we were expecting a baby and wanted to have a safe reliable vehicle we started having shifting problems and electrical issues. We brought in the vehicle multiple times (4 times) and although we were told that it might be transmission related issues but then as soon as chrysler got involved we were told our vehicle is perfectly fine. Nothing was ever fixed until my husband and I went to a different dealership. The new dealership fixed the electrical problems but said everything with the transmission is normal. The car makes shudder motions, sometimes it does not accelerate as I'm trying to get onto the freeway and it shifts very jerky. We have owned a jeep before which did not do that. We are so disappointment how chrysler is responding to known transmission problems and not doing any recalls on transmission related issues. We bought this vehicle because we wanted a safe vehicle for the family. However, after the latest TCM update the shifting has gotten worse and it doesn't feel safe to drive the vehicle yet chrysler won't do anything as we are being told this is normal.
I have owned this 2015 jeep cherokee since december 2014. The transmission had to be replaced @ 1890 miles, car stopped dead trying to pass a truck on steep grade, overheated transmission. The power brake master booster had to be replaced twice, @ 2490 miles and 4920 miles, no brakes just crash into nearest curb or car, part and system failure. The transmission mounts had to be replaced @ 2560 miles, car howling like a banchee, parts failure. The software had to be changed 3 times, "trying to solve factory problem". Warning lights for check engine and battery came on and car shuttered and came to abrupt stop, in the middle of a dangerous curve, with all system shut down completely @ 4970 miles, currently investigating cause. The car has been with the dealer, in total, more than 45 days, currently at dealer again. This car has left me in life threatening situations 4 times. It appears that when any preprogramed limits are reached, all systems shut down, brakes, steering, everything. You are left totally defenseless and not able to control the vehicle. The jeep has no emergency brake! This is the most unreliable and dangerous vehicle I have ever driven. I have been totally stranded away from home twice, and have yet to recover over $1000.00 in out of pocket expense, transportation, hotel, food, and cabs. The dealer closed at 2pm on a saturday, 280 miles from home, said good by and told me to contact chrysler for assistance, " it wasn't his responsibility". All 2014 and 2015 jeep cherokee should be recalled and taken off the road. This poorly conceived and engineered vehicle is dangerous and will kill many people, if it already has not. The chrysler corporation and its dealers are knowingly selling a faulty and dangerous vehicle to the public.
The jeep is bad and exactly engine, electrical, fuel propulsion system, and ather things,
I leased the vehicle on 6/17/15. Within a week the service park brake light came on briefly. Dealership said it was a fluke. A few days later. Back sensor beep would not turn off while driving. Dealership said it was a fluke. A day later power lift gate wouldn't work for a day. Dealership said it was a fluke. When I called the dealership the first time they proceeded to tell me car was sold to me with a reprogramming airbag recall so I took in to get fix & have other items looked at. They never looked at other issues. A week later service brake light came back on I took in immediately. After 3 days sitting in the shop they said 25 codes came up & not sure how to fix. After a week of them having the car they said it was fixed. After 10 hrs of having back the transmission light came on. I took back to service & the mgr said car is unsafe and would request a new vehicle for me that would take 6 wks to get. He also told me the dealership they got my vehicle from had issues w/car and never said anything. In the week I haven't had the vehicle I've been given 6 loaner cars. 1 of which broke down with service park brake & transmission lights on and could not shift. I have demanded chrysler to cancel my lease and return my funds owed...updated 09/22/15 *bf the consumer stated the ncds arbitrator and chrysler agreed to release the consumer from the lease. The consumer would also be reimbursed. Updated 12/9/2015*js updated 12/21/15
