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
My wife tells me that in the driveway the Jeep indicated that it needed to be in drive to shift, well it was in drive she was driving, Then the battery indicator light came on, the battery voltage dropped rapidly. She then coasted down the hill as she had brakes and the gas pedal did not affect the RPMs and she had steering. She then pulled off to the side then lost steering, she tried to then shut the Jeep off and it stayed in 'run', then she tried to start it and it tried to start as if with a dead battery. 30 minutes later the Jeep started and ran fine, the battery indicator went back up to 14V and she drove it up to the dealer where it is now.
My 2014 Jeep has 22,500 miles.. Bought In January...
They have to tear into it, clear to the firewall, wiring failures.
It wouldn't start while gear shift was in park, the "N" gear shift button flashed. On three different occasions previous to main malfunction, rear View camera was disabled, volume button on stereo wouldn't adjust sound, temp gauge inaccurate. Needless to say.... After reading other comments, they will be getting it back:(
