I was stopped at a red light and my service transmission light came on, when the light turned green I step on the gas and there was a delay during acceleration, I was in the middle of the road in traffic and could not move more than a few miles per hour, so I pulled over to the side of the road to avoid being hit. I waited a while on the side of the road and then I tried driving home, it started very slow until I got going and then it jerked and shifted randomly. I took it to my mechanic and he told me to take it to the dealer to have it reset/ updated. I still owe more than it's worth so I can't trade it in, I will be losing money. I feel very unsafe in my Jeep now.

For the last few months, my Jeep jumps ahead at red light or when you put it in drive. Its like someone else is stepping on the gas pedal. Sometimes it delays to launch, when you step on the gas it takes 10 or 15 seconds. And most importantly, the computer disengages the transmission and the engine will only idle in drive, cars following G are forced to drive around the vehicle. I was told by Jeep today, my VIN number is not in the VIN associated mass recall for the transmission issue and I have found, hundreds of the same issues on 2014 and 2015 9 speed transmissions. The vehicle is not safe and is a hazard to other motorist, due to Jeep design issue and lack of ownership and responsibility. My Jeep has 62,048 miles on it.

Hello, im second owner who got this SUV 2 months ago, 50000 miles and yesterday while I driving start feel the transmission dont doing right, also when I stop on the corners the car made one more move like someone hit me from behind. Finally something on the lcd dash told me something like "check and restart the transmission and some light went off, and in the gear start blinking on D. I was on 101 goleta, caliornia.

- Lompoc, CA, USA

I was parked and tried to start my car, it would not crank up. Turned it off and it hesitated to start again. Then I tried to shift it into reverse, it was blinking and it jerked like when someone hits you from behind really hard. As I tried to reverse the steering locked and it hardly wanted to brake. The service brake light and engine light came on. It has happened twice now and each time it gets worse. It's not a safe vehicle to drive.

The vehicle lunges forward when coming to a stop on a downhill situation. It becomes difficult not to hit stopped vehicles at the bottom of a hill at red lights. The cruise control does not always disengage when I hit the brakes, I have had to take evasive action several times. Contacted dealer, mad appointment for a scan.

Vehicle cuts off in the middle of driving on city streets and highway, flashes multiple indicators on dashboard. Truck has cut off while waiting to turn while in middle of a four-lane highway. Check engine light goes off and on. Hesitation and acceleration issues. When pressing on accelerator truck doesn't go as if stuck in gear then finally lurches forward unexpectedly. Very jerky during gear changes similar to driving a stick shift. Taken to dealership where purchased and was told to buy new battery but the same problems continue to happen. Diagnostics at dealership gave no indication as to how these safety issues can be resolved.

Transmission slow take off, jerks at random, and reverse takes a few seconds to move when I press the gas pedal which almost caused an accident. Happens all the time! dealer said there's nothing wrong with the car. What the heck...sounds more like a cover up.

- Downey, CA, USA

When starting from a stop car hesitates or jerks, sometimes clunks or grinds. Does the same thing when trying to pass a vehicle, pulling out at a stop light does the same thing. I believe it could be the transmission as the car seems not to want to shift correctly and makes rough, jumpy grinding noises does this most of time time you drive it and has for along time.

Brakes are contantly being changed. The car shakes when braking at all times. Battery always needs charged. The car will turn off unexpectedly due to battery. It has stopped at stop lights and it has stopped on I70 going towards hagerstown, md and several city streets. It has been changed and still needs charging. Cruise control does not go to speed desired and will not slow down when decreasing the speed. Shifting gears switches to neutral unexpectedly. Car also lunges while in drive as if gears have been changed. This will happen on all roads regardless of the speed.

- Martinsburg, WV, USA

Cruise control will be set and either be going 5mph+ faster than what it's set at, or not shut off when turned off. Also, consistently having 'service shifter' come on, and the shifter will stop working and lock in the gear it's in or lock when put in park and not shift to another gear.

Vehicle turned off on its own upon reaching 40mph and coming to a complete stop. Vehicle later turned off while on the highway at 65 mph in traffic while in the middle lane. This made the vehicle accelerator inoperable and at the same time made the vehicle lose speed slowing down while in traffic. Vehicle was nearly missed by passing vehicles and almost hit. Emergency lights came on as soon as the vehicle turned off. Vehicle was shifted to neutral to allow for steering wheel to not be so stiff. Finally I was able to pull over while the vehicle still had some type of momentum. I tried restarting the vehicle but the dashboard stated "please wait for vehicle to warm up to start.' I had to wait about 20 minutes until the vehicle was able to restart then acting normal. Check engine light came on. Upon revising the fault code P2172 appeared.

When I start the car in the morning stationary, the car leaps forward and then the car rocks back and forth. Ive complained about this before but dealer could not replicate issue since the issue usually only occurs when engine is cold. Also, transmission slips and revs when in motion changing speeds using cruise control. The Jeep has always done this since ive owned it.

- Orlando, FL, USA

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

Sometimes when cruise control is set vehicle will accelerate up to 10 mph faster then set speed. This occurs even when driving on a flat level road no hills.has also revved rpms up to 5 and slowly decelerates on own.

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.
