While driving on a city street at approximately 45 mph. The vehicle shifted out of gear, lunges and goes again in a jerking/ hesitating manner. Check engine light came on and service transmission light came on. Pulled over put in park and re selected a gear. When doing so it makes a horrific grinding noise and has no power. The battery has been replaced twice since 2014 for a "bad battery" after both of these replacements within 4 months we have now experienced these transmission problems. I stress this is the second time with the transmission issue and also the second time for the battery replacement.

I parked my car in the garage as usually (so vehicle was parked). On top of my garage there is my neighbor's apartment and my apartment is on top of the neighbor's apartment. I am completely sure that, when I came home the night before, I had shut off the car (using the push button- the car has a keyless ignition system) but in the middle of the night the car turned on by itself. We don't know for how long the car was running but it ran enough time to fill my neighbor's apt. With fumes and also the fumes reached my apt. Upstairs where I was sleeping with my daughter. The two of us (my daughter and I) were lucky because I had all my windows open (it was hot that night) but my neighbor ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks. At least 19 deaths have been reported nations wide due to keyless ignition malfunctioning issues. There should be some sort of automatic shut down after a certain amount of time but there isn't one in any car that have this keyless ignition system. Also very few manufacturers have added a beeping or audio alarm to warn drivers they have walked away with the fob but failed to turn off the ignition. I did turned off my car but still it turned on by itself, causing my car to idle in the garage for many hours. I believe the start/stop button on the dashboard of my car is actually malfunctioning. However when I told this to Jeep dealer they said the car is perfect and they want to give me back only $15K. I paid $24K for that very dangerous car! since the incident on September 16th,2017 I have been having anxiety issues and also I had to rely on the goodwill of friends and the use of a friend's car. I now need to move on from this incident and get a car that I can rely on and feel safe parking it in my garage but I want to make sure that these cars are out of the market asap so none will suffer what we suffered.

Was driving the car and transmission started to disengage. Rpms were going high but the car was not moving. Later that day, the car lunged and the service transmission light came on the car dashboard. The car would go in reverse but not forward. We turned it off, then back on. Same issue but the car let us drive it home. Had to have the car towed to the dealership. This is a 2014 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk with only 22,000 miles. The transmission has been acting up since the day we purchased it. It's an automatic shift, but it is very rough, the car hestiates when you press on the gas. Not surpised that the transmission has gone out on a 3-year old car with only 22,000 miles - pityful.

Jeep recall as I was exiting off the freeway, I suddenly noticed a delayed response when stepping on the gas petal to accelerate a bit in order to get to the far right lane. When I released my foot from the gas pedal, the car sounded like it had shut down and the lights inside he vehicle had all shut down as well. The car was still rolling but it was no longer turned on. I quickly tried to turn the key to try to turn the car back on, and stepped on the gas pedal to give it go ahead, but nothing happened. Luckily I was able to get to the far right lane and was somewhat out of the traffics way. Since the, the car has not been driven, due to safety issues I am not too sure about. Unknown. Just two days ago, I had the Jeep towed to the nearest Jeep dealership but it will not be serviced or attended to until a week from now. I work two jobs which are both located at least 15 miles away from my home and not having a vehicle to get to work has put a huge burden on my whole lifestyle and daily routine of obligations. Needless to say, the financial burden has created nothing but bitterness towards the manufacture of my Jeep. I would like for this nightmare to end and not reoccur again because I won't be able to stay calm and patient next time. If we could at least be provided with a loaner car for unpredicted incidences like this then maybe we could manage and tolerate a bit more. But I can't believe we still have to pay out more money we shouldn't have to be giving. This is the manufactures responsibility to take care of its consumers and to public safety.

Problems with the lift gate results in a dead battery! the vehicle had been taken to dealer ship explaining that the lift gate would close. Service dept indicated that irregardless of the tail gate not closing that the battery shouldn't have been affected because the lights turn off automatically. Not true, yet he insisted they were to able to find anything wrong with the lift gate and reprogrammed the vehicle. A week later the same problem occurred and we scheduled yet another appt only to find the dealership needed to order a part and it would be in the next day. Woke up this am only to find the vehicle would not start because the battery was dead because the lift gate would not close. This is a reoccurring problem and it was difficult to convince the dealership to fix it. I would like to know if any other owners are experiencing this problem. The vehicle also revs high and upon making a complete it lunges forward when you take your foot off the gas. Dealership says they can't find anything wrong with the engine. It seems all they ever do is reprogram the vehicle and feel thats all they need to do. Do I have to wait until theres an incident before anyone will look at these problems? please help.

When I push the gas pedal to accelerate the vehicle does not speed up for some time, I can have the gas pedal pushed to the floor and there is a very long lag time for the car to speed up and switch gears, it is extremely dangerous, I have put in reverse several times to back out of my garage and the car will not go in reverse, the entire car thumps back and forth and hesitates and takes some time to get in gear, my radio has stopped working twice, touch screen blacked out recently while in motion, when attempting to pass a car I can not safely get my speed up, its a real lemon and dangerous, I am waiting to get rear ended, pushing on gas pedal and engine revs up real loud but car does not accelerate like a normal car would, purchased 7 month ago and seems to be having more issues every day, was in a drive through with car on, foot on brake, and car in drive and took foot off brake and hit gas pedal and car did not go like it was in neutral, I had to put in park, turn off and turn on again to put in drive, this vehicle is not safe, will take it in for recall repair tomorrow and if not repairable will be traded, do not purchase, looks nice but terrible transmission

"service transmission warning and check engine": vehicle moving uphill, auto transmission shifts to lower gear; transmission begins to slip and ability to maintain speed drops; happened in middle lane of interstate; managed to exit interstate and park; very little power to move vehicle; safely parked and turned off engine. Waited 2 - 4 minutes; restarted engine; service transmission warning off; check engine "on". vehicle operated normal; check engine light went off later; had loosened gas cap and retightened to see if check engine light would go out - it didn't have an immediate effect on the light. Had to maneuver behind 18 wheeler and crawl speed up the exit ramp. Ended up cross ways in a side road for a few minutes while the transmission 'feathered' vehicle to safe spot. No collision this time. Vehicle has been in shop for similar complaint one month earlier.and more times previously

Something strange started happening, it shifted to neutral while I was trying to stop at a red light, almost went through. Brakes locked later had it towed to the dealer they kept a few days, said nothing was wrong. From day one I was told it was a 9 speed shift thing and I felt every single one. They told me that was normal. So me unable to do anything about the situation, but trust the dealer, kept driving this car, that I felt unsafe in every second of every day. Each day I prayed that it did not happen again. Till this day, it still shifts from each gear with a jerk, I notice the persons heads in my car jerk, every time I go from a stop to try to accelerate. It has had such a strong kick when it shifts gears that I felt like I was getting hit in the rear by another vehicle. This continued for a while and then the car began to start oddly, and as I shifted from park to reverse or park to drive the car literally felt as if the engine, transmission, what have you was going to fall out of the bottom of the car. Each time I shifted to park to reverse it would jolt. I then tried to go in reverse and the car was sounding and feeling so scary that I had it towed to the dealer yet again. I at this time, was over my miles and due to me leasing the warranty was done, so the dealer would not look at it free, luckily there was a recall on sensor wire harness, powertrain control module and the transmission control module, so they told me they would fix the recall only. The recall was done January 17, 2017. They kept my car for 6 days. After they fixed the recall, the car worked better, the gear shifts have never changed. Today is March 28, 2017 and the car began acting the same way prior to the recalls about 2 weeks ago, again I just pray that it will just start. Today it almost did not start and the shift to reverse dreadful.

I started my car to warm it up and in about five minutes time the car was on fire. The vehicle was parked in front of my home. The fire department was called and was able to put it out. Just a few days ago my insurance company told me the cause was due to an electrical malfunction. The car was a complete loss.

When I turn wipers on high they shut off. Chrysler said they are getting a new body control module. I have been waiting since June 2016. I feel it is dangerous and if they can't fix it they should give us S new car. I was driving to work in heavy rain and put my wipers on high and they quit!
