We were traveling in our 2018 Jeep Cherokee latitude and at a red light, the car just turned off. We had to sit for awhile and then restart it by putting on the brake and some other thing. We replaced the battery and it ran for about 20 minutes. Then, it stopped while we were at a red light again! it only restarted after replacing the battery twice. We aren't spending money on a new battery until we know exactly what's wrong.
I continue to get a service shifter issue. Vehicle has 13,000 miles on it. This is a known problem across multiple years of Cherokee. Dealership said it was a battery problem but after a new battery, I still receive the warning. Warning came on while parked, just after startup.
While driving the service shifter light came on. I pulled over and shut the vehicle off. When I started my vehicle the notice was gone but returned several days later. When I google what a service shifter was I saw alot of complaints by other Jeep owners. I thought I should add my complaint to the list. I have had my vehicle for a little over a year. I should not be having this issue.
Service shifter message appeared while driving today and gear shift lights are all red P, R, N, D. the service shifter message would not disappear blocking the speedometer reading.
