This has happed to over 20 times. When putting my automatic transmission in reverse, the screen displays ' service shifter' I have taken to two dealers and was told they could not duplicate because code resets itself. I am worried as I am a senior citizen and need a reliable vehicle. It seems the dealer can't be bothered to find the problem

Transmission lurches when shifting going down the road. Hesitant to start moving from a complete stop. When coasting down hill feels as if transmission shifts in to neutral and vehicle begins to accelerate. All instances were on city streets.

Thought I got rear ended how hard it jerked! while turning on a very busy highway car has went from drive to neutral several times while driving. Which can cause a major accident. Almost did! this has happened on several occasions can't recall specific dates and times but just recently on 02/09/2020

Vehicle hesitates from stop and then after a couple of seconds lurches forward. Very concerning when pulling out into traffic as you are never sure how quickly it will accelerate. Has been occurring since we bought the vehicle.

- Quarryville, PA, USA

Went to start vehicle and all shifter lights came on as well as a message which read "service shifter". was unable to drive vehicle. Later restarted vehicle and message was gone. This is the first time this has happened but it appears that hundreds of others have reported the same issue on this site.

- Quarryville, PA, USA

Beginning in 2018 until present, the 2015 Jeep Cherokee delays shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear. This typically occurs while at a stop light, stop sign, or yield sign. The result is a hesitation of the vehicle to move forward followed by a sudden lurch forward. This dangerous maneuver has caused many near miss accidents and is incredibly unsafe.

The service shifter notification has come in multiple times. It has been in the shop to be fixed twice. It has since come on again. It sometimes comes on when the car is started, other times it comes on while driving.

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.

While my pregnant wife was driving to a doctors appointment, the 2015 Jeep Cherokee suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. The vehicle was traveling at 45mph when this event occurred. The Jeep finally slowed to a stop in the middle of the road. The engine continued to run, but the vehicle would not move. The vehicle was turned off and then turned on again. When placed in 'drive' the vehicle made a loud thud. When the vehicle was placed in 'park' it made a grinding noise. The vehicle's parking brake suddenly engaged and could not be turned off; this made it impossible to move the vehicle to the side of the road. We waited 30min for a tow truck to move the vehicle from the middle of the road to a Firestone for evaluation. Firestone indicated that it was a problem with the transmission. We then had to tow the vehicle to whitten brothers Jeep dealership for evaluation. We were informed that the vehicle will likely not be covered by the powertrain warranty due to the time requirement. The 2015 Jeep Cherokee only has 83,000 miles. I bought this vehicle new in Jan 2016 and expected the vehicle to last 15-20 years. If my wife had been driving to work instead of a doctors appointment, she could have been stranded on the interstate with vehicles driving 65+ mph; this would have resulted in a serious accident with injuries to my wife and unborn child. This is a huge safety concern that Jeep is obviously not taking seriously.
