Upon slowing down around 20 MPH the vehicle starts to accelerate requiring a harder press on the brake. If I let off the gas around 40 MPH the vehicle maintains speed before it starts to accelerate. Eventually the vehicle will jolt and the service transmission light comes on putting it in a limp mode with little forward momentum when pressing the gas. The dealer said its the ABS control module but the factory wouldn't replace it because the dealer couldn't prove it was bad. At that point the 2015 kl trailhawk had around 33000 34000 miles on it and still under warranty.

Auto shut down while in left turn lane, waiting for light to turn green. Auto seems to stall out after idling (ie: after leaving drive thru, traffic light). Will not restart, all dash indicators come on. Air, radio, windows still functioning. Had help pushing car out of traffic. 55 minutes later in 117 degrees auto started. Next morning auto would not start, all dash indicators come on again. Had use the key fob trick to start. This has happened in 2019 as well first time, may 1, 2019, towed to dealership, left there for 2 days, nothing found.
Service shifter continues to come on
While driving vehicle on highway at 55 MPH dash lights start blinking on then off several times. As I lifted my foot off the accelerator the vehicle completely shut off right in the middle of the highway! I shifted into neutral and restarted engine. Then as I stopped at a red light the engine shut off again while auto start /stop was disengaged as I restarted the auto start stop light came on and vehicle started. I continued to drive the vehicle. As I drove the dash lights continued to flash on and off, now the engine light came on and will not go out? The vehicle is a safety hazard to both my family and other motorists, as to the fact that the engine shuts down at will with out notice or warning of any type. Thank you please help me I do not want to die from a crash because of this problem!
When driving, the service shifter light will come on and then all of the lights on the gear shifter (p,r,n,d,1,2) come on. You have to put the car in park and shut it off to clear the issue. You also have to deal with the concern that the shifter won't work when you try to switch modes.
Car is equipped with a stop start feature to conserve fuel usage when the brakes are applied and held at a stoplight the engine stops running as it should. The problem is the stop start feature no longer functions as designed. This feature has failed in the past and repaired march 2018. Functioned normally until october 2019 and remains in a not working condition as of may 2020.
The vehicle was stationary, the battery died we changed it to a new one and it gave an error. The gearbox gets stuck once in n, when its in n it wont change to d or r.
Reference the complaint listed below ( the federal safety agency id 11270672 ) on october 24, 2019. I have had the exact same issue/problem concerning the gas/fuel cap sensor since november 2016. Made multiple attempts of having it fixed at local chrysler jeep dealership with zero success. The only difference from the referenced complaint below is that I have not had a vapor test nor have I replaced my gas cap because I was told by the service department; verbatim : 'this is a known issue that can not be fixed.' in addition; the fuel/gas cap issue is only one of several issues that I've encountered all with the same response from the dealership ' 'it's a known problem but we can't fix it'. I will never purchase a chrysler branded vehicle again. Lesson learned as this cherokee is 'an even swap' for my original cherokee that was both newly purchased & dead (transmission failure) all within the month of december 2014. So for the owner in cary, nc who posted (see below) ' you are not alone! ''-original complaint'- october 24, 2019 the federal safety agency id number: 11270672 components: engine, unknown or other the federal safety agency id number: 11270672 incident date july 17, 2017 consumer location cary, nc vehicle identification number [xxx] summary of complaint crashno fireno injuries0 deaths0 my gas cap light has been on for 2 years. I apparently am the only one with this issue and have been told there is nothing that can be done as they need a flash to reset the motherboard. In the meantime to rule things out I had to have the vapor test done and replace the gas cap which of course solvee nothing. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
There was a recall a few years back for electrical issues, I took it in to get fixed and it worked for a few months then after that it works on and off. I noticed when it gets hotter than 80 degrees the A/C will not always turn on. I am not sure if my car was fixed correctly the first time.

Since 2015 when the jeep was purchased I have had several times when the rpms would go up to 3 or 4 and I was not accelerating the gas when it happened. It acted like transmission problems . The jeep dealer could not fine anything wrong and would update the computer, it would last for several months and then the same thing would happen. On saturday february 8th 2020 I parked the car in a parking lot and returned 3 hours later to a car that would not start , lights would work and the battery appeared dead. I got a hotshot to try to start the car. It did start but there was no power steering , no power brakes, the engine was running rough and the lights were clicking off and on. The code stated service transmission restart in park with vehicle at zero speed. And would change to service park brake. When I turned off the car it would turn on again and it was towed to the jeep dealer and they will look at it on monday feb, 10th. I will know more at that time.
Service shifter notification keeps coming on.

While driving the car will shut off completely, locking the steering wheel and rendering the brakes and the gas ineffective... The first time I was driving 65mph on the freeway and it shut off. Luckily there was no one on the road, I was able to coast to a stop, shift to park, and restart the engine... It proceeded to happen multiple times, no matter how fast I was driving.
Service shifter message keeps pop up randomly. It started at around 70,000 miles. Once the car is turned off and back on the message goes away. There seem to be a lot of complaints about this issue with jeep cherokee. Is there going to be a recall?
Driving along, "service transmission" light came on. At the next red light, when I proceeded to go, engine revved up and the car moved extremely slow like it wasn't in gear. This happen every time I stopped and started on the return home and the light went out. I drove it again and the same thing happen. Had it serviced at dealer and they said it was a short in wiring harness that goes to the transmission control module. See code s55 pertaining to transmission may shift unexpectedly to neutral. 2014 & 2015 jeep cherokee dated aug. 6, 2106.
I purchased vehicle november 2018 and have recently noticed as of december 2019 my vehicle would stall, shift, and cut off in the middle of driving which very dangerous not only to myself, kids, and others around me in traffic.
I've had to replace my low beams 10+ times this year. They keep shorting our. Also have to have my engine thermostat replaced even though it's working fine. It's electrical keeps causing my check engine light to come on. And the fix is replacing something that is fully working. And because my check engine light is on I can't makw it through deq to get tags for my car. This is the 3rd (separate) electrical problem I've had with this car and I'm done. Keep should stand up for their product.
I was leaving my neighborhood yesterday morning when my jeep shut off without any warning or check engine lights and would not start. Thankfully I was still close to home and was able to go home in neutral! What if I were on the highway? Or in the middle of an intersection! The screen said to put vehicle in park. The radio and lights still work but it does not start. I am financing this jeep and have had it for 8 months from a dealership. I dont have an extended waranty and I dont know how to handle this... I looked up on carcomplaints.com and found identical complaints to mine of theyre new jeeps just shutting off mid drive. This needs to ba addressed. Im terrified of this car.

Shuts off after starting, display screen blacks out and radio doesn't work, engine light and brake lights come on and off. Heat and air conditioning settings keep resetting to halfway between hot and cold. Shuts off and slams into park or neutral. Gears drop heavily when shifting from park to drive.

This has steadily been getting worse over the last 4 months.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 jeep cherokee. While reversing out of the driveway, the gear failed to engage properly. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

Electronic parking brake module connector water intrusion which causes the module to short out and the wiring harness corrosion. This causes the parking break to engage and disengage without warning. This also prompts an error that the 4wd is unavailable. Confirmed with patriot jeep in oakland md that the 4wd will not work on 11/18/2019. I was able to get my car to move from my driveway by putting my seat belt on and holding the break, and then pressing the gas to release the parking break. Mopar told me this was not covered under warranty, and I found numerous complaints on this issue. I was also able to find a bulletin published by mopar about this issue. It appears there is water getting into the vehicle causing corrosion which could lead to an accident if someones brake would engage, or 4wd would fail in inclement weather.
Check shifter message. While driving. All the lidhts on the console light up. (p.r,n,d,s ) intermittenet problem and seems to be weather related (temperature change), the dealer has flashed the computer so the check engine light will not come on or register a code. This has been going on now for over a year. Dealer can't duplicate the problem.the vehicle is now out of warranty. Currently at 27300 miles.
Since purchasing 2015 jeep cherokee it has been more at the dealers than my home. It has been a nightmare, problems with transmission, sensors, and radio etc. It has been replaced numerous times for substantial defects and it continues to do so. This falls under the lemon law. It's getting to the point I am seeking an attorney, if my warranty is not extended and this is not fix at no charge to me. Last night the jeep stop in the middle of the freeway almost caused an accident with warnings of (shift to p then desired gear) and service airbag system. This is my life you are playing with, for you're on going defects. I am a loyal jeep customer. I have a jeep wrangler, jeep compass and sebring chrysler. All I am asking is for my piece of mind and not worry about paying for anything when I have a defected and it's not safe to drive. Please respond and solved this problem asap. Thanks again and have a bless day.
