I own a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited. A week ago I was in a parking lot and reversing out of a parking space when a warning light came on "shift in park to start engine." The engine was running, however as I shifted to drive numerous lights on the dash board were flashing on and off. I shifted the vehicle to park, however when I shifted back to drive the vehicle was not moving forward when I stepped on the gas pedal. I shut the vehicle off and on and was able to shift to drive and move forward although multiple warnings were flashing on the dash board. I was able to drive back to my home. I turned the vehicle off and on and again shifted to drive, however this time the vehicle did not move forward, the same when I shifted to reverse. I have not taken my vehicle to a dealer or mechanic yet, so not sure what the issue is here, but I did see that there were over 900 complaints for power train on the federal safety agency website and the most recent 2 or 3 recalls were describing very similar incidents to what happened to my vehicle.

The service shifter light comes on intermittently on my 2015 jeep Cherokee latitude. Service shifter light comes on dash and all lights on the shifter assembly are solid red. The service shifter light will not go off until the car is turned off and back on. It causes the heads up display to be blocked until the vehicle is turned off to reset the lights. The transmission feels like it is missing a gear or slipping between gears just before the service shifter light comes on. It does not have a solid time that it comes on. You can be driving down the road and it just comes on or you can be putting the car into reverse and it comes on. The jumper and bezel along with the shifter assembly has been replaced 2 times already. The first time it was replaced at my cost on April 8, 2022. The second time was replaced on November 30, 2023. My vehicle will be going into the dealership again because the service shifter light has come on again on July 14, 2024. This is a known issue and no one is doing anything about it after 90 plus complaints have already been filed with you.

The Electronic Parking Brake has malfunctioned because water has leaked into the liftgate. Jeep is replacing the power liftgate module because if water leaks into the car, this could cause a fire if the water reaches the module. Water is in my car and has destroyed the e-brake system causing it to go on and off unexpectedly and now I can't drive the car. According to an ODI Resume, "On May 11, 2016, the manufacturer released a Technical Service Bulleting (ODI #10191415, FCA #08-060-16) that instructs dealers on replacing the EPB module and inspecting the electrical connector for corrosion if a customer describes having the EPB not releasing." Jeep is willing to replace the Power Liftgate Module - Recall 49A - but not the EPB for the exact same reason. The dealer agrees with my assessment, but without Chrysler willing to cover the cost, they are not able to replace the EPB system for free and want to charge me $1000. Several lights are going off on the dashboard - Service Park Brake, the Brake light and now the Stop/Start function is disabled.

Randomly an audible alarm sounds and the dash indicates "Service Shifter" while the digital dashboard indicators do not allow to navigate away from that notice, and all of the lights on the transmission indicators illuminate. I called the dealer and they said they were aware of issues with that, but no recall exists. I Googled the "Service Shifter" and my model vehicle and apparently it's a larger problem than the Dealer indicated on the phone. I was advised to turn the vehicle off, open the door, close the door, and restart the vehicle. The error cleared but later intermittently reappears.

When I was driving the gear shift into Netural, all lights on gear shift were lit up red (Park, Reverse, Netural, Drive). The message said “Press brake, Put car in P, Select Gear”. This is so scary because it has happened twice to me. When I took to Midas as soon as it happen, since they were open. The ran a code that read U0001, and read that this is a power train issue. And informed me to take to the dealership because it should be covered for the recall that’s in these models. While driving on highways I have had to put car on side of road to keep from a crash. This is a real hazard and safety concern.

Service shifter light is on all the time. Not sure why or what is happening. There is a notification on the dash that just says "service shifter' and all the lights are red by the gear shifter.

Nearly all of the warning lights came on suddenly at the same time. Service parking brake, service transmission, service antilock braking system, service forward collision system and more. The vehicle then starts to have trouble shifting and sometimes acceleration is gone completely. I had to coast over to shoulder on the freeway multiple times. Turning the vehicle off and restarting seems to help somewhat and allowed me to get the vehicle home. Sometimes acceleration is jumpy (slowing down then speeding up again). I have had the vehicle serviced 3 times for this issue. First time they stated it was fixed with a software update. Second time they replaced a sensor inside the transmission, and the third time they replaced the PTU. All of these repairs and the $1,000+ I have paid for the repairs have done nothing to address the issue.

I was at a very busy intersection getting ready to turn left and when the light turned green the auto start cautious symbol showed up on the dash and the all the lights came on right before my car completely shut off. I had to put on my hazards because I was afraid of getting hit. Put the jeep into park and restarted the vehicle. I pulled over into a shopping center and checked to make sure I wasn't leaking anything and to give it time to make sure it wouldn't shut off again. Then the next day it was shaking really bad in idle and kept throwing the same auto start caution light on the dash. Then had a check engine light. When taken to mechanic spark plugs and coil pack for cylinder 2 were changed but problem persists.
