Almost died last week!! we purchased the Jeep Cherokee trailhawk new in 2014 with the full intent of towing it 4 wheels down behind our motor home. The owners manual for towing is very clear and we have been following the instructions as provided and as instructed by the Jeep dealership. Last Thursday night (May 30th 2019) on hwy 24 in Kentucky we hit a rough patch of road and the Jeep went into a death wobble that brought the entire rv coach from 65 mph to a dead stop in the middle of the highway in the dark of night in heavy traffic!!! by god's grace only are we not dead!! no driver expects an rv to be parked on the highway (emergency flashers or not). We have been scared before with this at a lower speed of 30 to 40 mph, but never at full highway speed! we are terrified to tow this vehicle even thought the vehicle was clearly sold as tow-able. After researching on the internet about this, I find out it is a known issue with Jeep 2014 / 2015 models and that a electrical wiring harness is now required to tow the vehicle safely - however - Jeep wants to charge you for this part and install!!! this is pure evil on Jeep part. They know of the issue and are pushing the repair off on the owner, when the vehicle was clearly advertised and sold as tow-able with no need for any adaptations. It is a miracle that no one has been killed due to their negligence in getting these vehicles repaired. I have not been notified by Jeep that my life is in danger. They have made no effort in rectifying this deadly situation or even letting me know about a potential solution. I have tried to fix the wobble independently by changing tires, balancing etc, only to learn through google that the Jeep is faulty in and of itself, that the steering is not powered correctly to keep the Jeep from going into a death wobble. This should be a recall and not the burden of the owner.

Around 4:30 pm, after just a few seconds of leaving my driveway, a message came on that stated I needed to put the vehicle in park before I could shift gears and then my battery light and engine light came on. I pulled over, put vehicle into park & then shut it off. Restarted it, but struggled to start.. attempted to restart a third time but was dead. Turned the key to run to see what lights stayed on the dashboard the battery was still on while the engine light disappeared. After waiting about a half hour, my father in law was able to give me a jump. Car started and was able to drive get the battery replaced. However I read last night similar complaints, with the battery not being the issue so my husband will be getting the previous battery we had, tested this weekend.

The car has jerked since I bought it two years ago and for about 6 months now it has been presenting a transmission issue. The car starts to flash with 'service transmission ' and the check engine light comes on - after that the car starts to get stiff and as soon as I come to a complete stop the car turns off the car turned off this happend twice and I took it into the local Jeep dealership where they told me on me at stop lights both times - I was able to turn the car back on after about 5 mins and continue driving that it was not a transmission issue and fixed the recalls and I was on my way - then the car started to do this again it stopped on my three times in one week alone saying service transmission.

Brought vehicle in to the dealership for repairs on several ocassions with complaints of vehicle jumping into gear. Recently had to replace the battery because vehicle wouldn't stay running and could not put into gear. Vehicle is currently at the dealership because it was leaking oil. Have been told that the oil cooler needs to be replaced. Have also been told that the drive shaft is noisy and should be replaced and that the air temperature ambient sensor needs to be replaced. I gave the go ahead to replace the oil cooler and air temperature ambient sensor. Told them to hold off on replacing the drive shaft as the repair alone for the oil cooler and sensor was going to be approximately $1,300. I then received a call back and was told that they changed the oil cooler and upon trying to start the vehicle it didn't want to start. They told me multiple codes were coming up and that my instrument cluster needed to be replaced at an additional cost of over $1,000. Estimate for all repairs to be $2,500 plus. Was also told that the instrument cluster is a special order and once ordered they would have to hold my vehicle for two weeks until it came in and could be installed. It is costing me $35 a day for a rental vehicle through them. I estimate total cost for repairs and rental to be about $3,000. This cost does not include the replacing the drive shaft which they tell me is noisy.

When I'm driving my car will just stall without warning until the car becomes to a complete stop. This has happened to me at least 4 times beginning 10-27-18 and the last time was 11-08-18 and I had it towed to the dealerships designated shop and was told that they couldn't find anything wrong with it that could be fixed. They also told me they had other customers complaining about their Jeep-Cherokee stalling on the freeways and in the middle of traffic. My vehicle stall on me when I was driving on the streets and I would only get a few feet from home and one of those times the battery light would come on and another time the light came on for driving on on hill or something in that effect.

Shift park brake then service transmission. It came on when I first bought the vehicle and continues till this day. When I bring it in they say it's a software update and continues to do the same thing. It's getting worse and worse by the day and I'm scared to drive my own vehicle. I bought the Jeep because I heard they were good long term vehicles. I've only had this car for four years and I know I will not let my son drive it!

We experienced a wobble very severe while towing behind our rv. It was very unsafe but we were able to get to the side of the road I hate to think what could have happened to us or someone else not to mention the car, rv or towing equipment. We are told we need a jumper wiring harness that cost $400. Is this covered?

My check engine light keeps coming on for code B104E and every time I take it in to have it looked out nothing seems to be wrong with it. This code has been thrown 4 times in a year and every time they say they can't find an issue.

The back windshield wiper, no longer works. It basically first just fell down over the tail light and when turned on, it would only cover part of the window. Later it would drop further down. There are times when you could manually move it. But it no longer works when you try to turn it on normally. Also the intermittent wiper settings for the front windshield, have not worked at all.

On many occasions the "death wobble", the front wheels of my 2014 Jeep Cherokee would begin violently oscillating while I towed the Jeep behind my motorhome. This wobble would occur at any speed and usually in construction zones or on a big bump in the highway. Jeep finally provided a "fix" for the problem by requiring a wiring harness to be installed. I paid to have it installed in a vehicle that was sold as four wheels down with no modifications and that has stopped the wobble problem. The original manual also states that the vehicle is flat towable. There was an addendum to the manual, but that was 2 years after I purchased the vehicle and many miles behind my motorhome.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a claim was filed. The contact stated that the manufacturer was sending a mechanic to inspect the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000.

Bought this car 12/1/16 and purchased best optioned warranty. Car is stalling and locking up steering. 5X in last 3 days. Mil light, etc light coming on. After turning engine off and on, car will drive fine other than transmission is jerky. Seems like there is a dead spot when trying to accelerate. I put premium gas in this car. There is something definitely wrong with the computer language between fuel intake and transmission shifting gears. Bringing it to naples Dodge tmrw for service and hopefully will be under warranty.

While driving down the highway going 65 miles an hour the transmission made a horrible sound and just went bezerk. All I could do is put on my hazards and coast to the side. It would not go into any gear not even park. I was almost hit by several vehicles trying just to get over. He had it towed to the dealership where we were told it was fixed on our way home it did the same thing again. I am literally terrified to drive this vehicle again.

When flat towing our 2014 Jeep Cherokee with active drive II on a rough road at a speed of approximately 45 mph, the car vibrated so badly it shook our 30,000 lb motorhome so badly that we had to completely stop the rig and then resume movement. The second time this happened we were on hwy 116 near petaluma, ca and we were in heavy traffic and the roadway had no verge. It was only by luck that we did not wreck or cause a wreck. Owner forums indicate this has happened to other Jeep Cherokee owners. Why doesn't Chrysler motors have to fix this? we could have been killed or killed someone. This happened three times in the sam general area but there was no safe place for us to pull over and disconnect the Jeep. Please help us.
