"takata recall" Jeep has been running fine since I bought it, driving around yesterday with no issue then pulled into the driveway and put it in park and shut the Jeep off. Got my kids loaded up and started the Jeep now a bunch of lights cover my dash and I can not search through the menu on the screen. Saying service transmission. It will violently jerk twice when I can only assume it is searching for reverse and also when placed in drive. Looked into forms and found that there was a recall on the transmission but is not associated with my VIN. Yet it has the recalled trans and is of the year as well.

Problems with slow kicking into gears. Like it is slipping. Hard shifting. It will also upshift unexpectedly giving a burst of speed.

- York, PA, USA

The gears are locked and the vehicle or the shifter will not move. We started the car to go somewhere and backed it out of the garage, stopped and put the car in park to put the other car in the garage, when we got back in the Jeep the gears, shifter, would not move, nor would the car. We finally got the Jeep in neutral, the car still would not move, it felt like we were pushing a house, but we finally got it back in the garage. Also, the next time we tried to shift the gears while in the garage to show my brother who also owned a Jeep Cherokee that had a recall on it. We put the key in and change gears to reverse, but the Jeep would not move, and the gears would not move back to park, so the keys was stuck in the vehicle. We had to force it back to part to get the keys.

Just purchased 2015 Cherokee, when first accelerating it hesitates and seems to not shift correctly and then eventually "kicks in" and jerks hard. Causes major issues while in traffic. Also sounds like its going to shut off when sitting stationary and idling.

- Bismarck, ND, USA

9 speed transmission issue. When coming to a stop the vehicle lunges forward and then hesitates when accelerating. Seems to shift gears very rough and is concerning when in traffic. This seems to occur and more noticeable in city traffic with stop and go traffic.just bought this vehicle from a reputable dealer and I am very disappointed that this issue was not brought to my attention. Software update seems to have made the issue worse.

Transmission on a engine with only 42, 000 miles

- Sound Beach, NY, USA

Vehicle has had transmission light come on 3 times within 50K. The most current incident occured while driving down a busy highway. The vehicle shuttered and rufused to accelerate. This led to 3 near miss collisions and fear of driving the vehicle. Each time we have the issue the dealer simply flashes the trans mission which obviously doesn't fix the problem.

- Aubrey, TX, USA

At multiple, seemingly random times, warning lights flash regarding transmission and other car functions, engine stops and temporarily won't restart. On restart transmission jumps hard. Software has been updated and dealer reports no recall on this vehicle. So far has just happened while stationary.

Sept. 2015 I started having problems at 6 months since then I have had it back to the dealership 9 times sometimes it has to be towed in is not driveable same problem but every time I get it back the problems are worse since about the 18th of Aug this year I have had the car only 9 days this is now Dec 3rd it has been in the shop sometimes 3 or 4 days some times as long 3 or 4 weeks the transmission clunks like it is falling out all the lights go out will not shift it also shuts down when driving it one time in the middle of an intersection this is getting really dangerous for me as well as anyone else on the road with me I have been in touch with Chrysler customer care lady named lori she says I am out of the perimeter for buy back they did not know what is wrong with this car I am making car payments and insurance on a car I can't drive and don't even ave most of the time. The dealership called me a week ago to come pick the car and when I got there it wouldn't even run to get to the front of the building to me. This has been going on for 2 1/2 years now only getting worse all of the time I am now afraid to drive this car knowing it can shut down anytime in the middle of traffic and Chrysler won't do anything except keep putting it back in the shop and after 3 weeks or I go to pick it up and once again it won't run.

We are the original owners of the above vehicle. We have noticed extremely hard and untimely shifting of gears with this transmission. We have brought the vehicle to an authorized dealer on November 29, 2018 and was advised there is a recall (S55). The recall was addressed, however this did not fix the matter. I understand there is a class action claim that we are now a participant in regarding this transmission issue.

Check engine light comes on, codes are U1504, U1412, U0001, U1110, U1120, will not shift, 4WD temporary unavailable message comes on, stability traction light comes on, all shifter gear lights are on, this had happened 7 times since I purchased this Jeep, engine has cut a couple of times during all of these issues!

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. While driving and attempting to make a turn, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to shottenkirk Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (678-535-3417, located at 200 Liberty blvd, canton, ga 30114) to be diagnosed, but the failure was not duplicated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the dealer would be called. The dealer was not called. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

I have a 2015 Jeep Cherokee limited 4X4, when I try to slow down or stop the vehicle will speed up. It is like you are giving it gas instead of applying the break. It was purchased with around 13500 miles on the odometer on 9-22-2018, it now has 21360 miles as of 11-27-2018. The transmission completely stopped working on the highway in traffic. The transmission would not make the vehicle move and acted as if it was not in any gear. It has seamed to have issues from the time I purchased it and I was told by a Jeep dealership that it was just the normal way that the 9 speed transmission worked. If this is normal for a transmission to fail at 21000 miles I feel that is a major concern and a huge issue.

We were on a road trip and on the highway the dashboard said service transmission and lost acceleration when going up hill or trying to go faster from a stop. The check engine light also came on at the same time of the service transmission light. After that, the car had trouble shifting and had a hard time to move after stopped.

Car does not accelerate from 3rd into 4th gear at times. It has a lag time before it switches gears into 4th on a 9-speed automatic.

- Hutto, TX, USA

Very simple, when shifting from 4 to 5th gears in an automatic it will bang and shift very hard. It will not shift down into first without coming to a complete stop. It hesitates and is very unreadable. In my opinion a safety hazard. Have taken to dealership and they have said that there is nothing they can do until it produces an engine code or breaks. It is a problem with the solenoid shifting and computer talking to one another. Chrysler I think has change the next year transmission due to this problem. This is a safety hazard. This a common occurrence.

My 2015 Jeep Cherokee exhibits a rolling stop condition which happens between 1-8 mph. When press on the accelerator, the rpms climb but vehicle does not move. Suddenly the transmission downshifts to first gear from third and squeals the tires propelling it forward. When pulling into traffic, or slowing down making a turn if I have not come to a complete stop vehicle will not shift correctly and hesitates to accelerate for several seconds, when it does finally shift it is very hard and will lunge the vehicle forward.
