Bought brand new 2017 Cherokee Trailhawk. Have owned this car for roughly 3 years. Over the course of owning the vehicle I rarely place it into "sport" mode and drive very conservatively. The engine malfunction warning light has come on 4 times now all while in sport mode. The first time they updated software. The second time they "found nothing", the third time required a brand new transmission...at 18k miles!!!!
Took them over a week to get the part and replace my transmission. After driving the car for only one additional month I was just in sport mode and the same engine light came back on AGAIN. Car was stuck in gear and would not shift, causing RPMs to spike. Luckily was close to home. This is the same exact thing which occurred previously before transmission failure. The next time around the transmission just failed. When that occurred the transmission was slipping and could not shift reliably into/out of drive and reverse.
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SPORTS MODE, CLEARLY. Why I as someone who is fairly ignorant on cars has detected the pattern/cause yet the full brain power of the dealership has not is mind boggling. Luckily I bought the 7 year bumper to bumper warranty. I will gladly bring them failed transmission after failed transmission and watch them pay for their failure on their dime until my warranty expires at which point I will trade this POS in.
Will NEVER buy Jeep again, will be going back to Subaru. What an awful company and a POS vehicle I otherwise would love.
