CarComplaints.com Notes: There's no way around it, the Cherokee's transmission is junk. There's no other explanation for why a vehicle, usually with under 40,000 miles, would have so many complaints
Noticed when I was in my job's parking garage a whining cringe noise while I'm turning my wheel. Also, I noticed a ticking noise while driving and it's really annoying. Another add on, every morning while coming to a park at a parking spot, my steering wheel starts to become very hard to steer as if it's trying to lock.
When turning, steering made a noise. Took back. They said they did not hear it. Had to take it back 2 times before they considered there was a problem with struts. Said they replaced. Noise went away for about a day. Took back. They greased. Noise went away for few days and now it's louder and louder.
We purchased a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited, 4WD w/Active Drive 2 in January 2014. When we purchased this vehicle, we traded in a GMC Terrain. We were certain that the Jeep was going to be a fantastic purchase, knowing the reputation of Jeep. We have had nothing but what I'd call serious problems with the transmission. Every time I take it in for an oil change, I mention it, and they do "software updates." Each software update that has been done has not corrected the problem still. All it's done is created a different problem. There have now been 5 recalls on this vehicle, 1 of which hasn't been taken care of yet because Jeep hasn't come up with a replacement part, so I'm stuck with a rental Renegade that is nowhere near comparable to my Cherokee Limited 4WD, for an "unspecified amount of time." My steering column makes a grinding noise louder than a 40 year old truck. The dealership told me that it was a normal sound. No vehicle I've ever driven has sounded like this, especially one that cost me $40,000!!!
grinding or whining noise when the steering wheel is turned
I have brought the car in twice with complaints of noise coming from the steering. Both times they greased the system based on Chryslers recommendation. The steering is quiet just about long enough to get me home and away from them. Obviously there is something more wrong with it and they either don't care to fix it or don't know how.
