There is actually nothing wrong with the gearbox, its due to the car battery going flat, (low voltage). It seems to be a common problem with Jeep Cherokee KL's, as they run a lot of electronics and are very sensitive to voltage drops. The ECU (computer) will shutoff certain features to the car if it senses the voltage too low. I just had the same issue 2 days ago and my battery was very low. Replaced the battery and now it's fine. A temporary fix is to disconnect your battery (negative terminal) and let it sit for 20-30mins). It will reset the computer, as long as your battery is not completely drained it should restart and drive normal. However you will need to get a new battery ASAP. Trust me on this, your gearbox is fine!
I loved my 2022 Cherokee TrailHawk. Coolest vehicle I’ve ever owned. Right up until the transmission scared the heck out of me and my wife. Then I found out what a nightmare these 9 speed transmissions have been for Cherokee owners. Got rid of my TH quick.
This happened to me 2 days ago...& I got the Jeep Cherokee 2016 4 months ago at 38,000 miles. When I took it to the dealer, they said nothing is wrong & cant find a code...It’s irritating because its happened twice. I just have to turn it off, & start up again
Had this happen on wife’s car about 3 months after purchase. It was used but looked to be in good condition. Since it was intermittent, I suspected it wasn’t mechanical. Checked fuses and tested the battery. Battery was good BUT died after 2-3 weeks of this ongoing issue. Replaced the battery and problem never returned.... All the while we were waiting for the dealer appointment. I never got any sort of explanation from the dealer. They checked it and told us everything checked out. They flashed it too. I suspect that the battery was beginning to fail and somehow affected the computer upon startup. Have owned the car 5 years now and the issue has never returned. Also, haven’t needed to replace the battery since ( might replace that bad boy just in case....).
I bought my 2016 TH 3.2 9spd a couple months ago…full service history from Jeep, the owner keep all records, and certified from Jeep. Knock on wood, no issues yet. Tech is great to have and mine has everything, even parks itself. These issues are all computer related for the most part and updates thankfully have resolved most of them…well, except for the rear driver side squeaky seat…have to either fold it down or have someone sit in it lol. Going to grab a can of dry silicone spray and hope for the best. At the end of the day, price we pay for all the goodies we demand. I am just going to hope that I don’t run into some of the issues mentioned above. 🤞
Test your transmission pressure switch, most likely the sensor is bad (if your familiar with using a multimeter, disconnect the sensor and do n ohms test ( continuity test) , should read 0 if the sensor is good and if it read a crazy number or says “ OL “ it means the sensor is bad Hope i was able to help -Gringo’z Garage

Hi Darian, I, unfortunately, research the problem with this 9 speed trans after my purchase. It is a very common problem with this German-made transmission.
Wow! Sorry that happened to you. I own a 2016 jeep cherokee north and never had any issues. Not one! Drove at slippery and icy roads here in Calgary, Alberta where winter is one of the worst and never got stuck. The engine would run even at -40 degrees Celsius and I don't even have to plug in the engine block heater. It would plow through 2 feet of snow. Transmission shifts smoothly and even got me through deep mud (currently have Wilpeak AT3 TIRES) where any other vehicles wouldn't even dare venture in the jobsite. My Dad owns a 2014 Jeep cherokee trailhawk and he didn't have the same issues as you have. Same with my cousins 2015 jeep cherokee trailhawk and his brother who owns a 2018 jeep compass trailhawk who also shares the same transmission. They have not had these issues that you had. I asked a jeep technician regarding your claimed issues and it looks like it is a electronic issue.
I have a 2015 Cherokee Latitude. Something in this Jeep trashed a new ten month old battery and kept having starting issues. I replaced it today and now have a hard CLUNK when I put it in gear. I dont want to drive it for fear of trashing the trans or causing an acccident. Now what!? I'm scheduling liftgate recall tomorrow to be done asap hoping an uodaye is available and hope I make it there without getting killed. I am afforded no other choice.
@@ExoticWreckmaster it's also in my 2017... This happens in a bunch of years because the jeep blogs ppl are talking about it and keep is not addressing it
Well, the thing about the parking brake is if you have your door open when you start barely pulling forward the parking brake comes on that’s a safety feature. My jeep does it to me and it pisses me off every time.
I work at a dealership, that buys allot of Jeeps for resale the ones with the most transmission issues are the Cherokees and grand Cherokees they almost never throw a code and yet will put the driver thru some very scary and very dangerous situations from bucking while driving at speeds of 30mph to my own personal experience of 65 mph, as well as unexpectedly switching into different driving modes while driving jeep should be sued period for not addressing this I have a15 Jeep Grand Cherokee 140k and have had trans issues since I bought it at 129k and I am currently replacing the trans for a newer one and expect to have problems with this too. Run when you see these vehicles someone could easily lose their lives just from owning one!? Jesus come on jeep!? or Chrysler?! or fiat or whatever you want to call yourself ! WTF
I just bought a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk a month ago and this just happened to me 😩😩😩 It’s really scary. I’m literally crying and worry after reading all the complains. 😞
Crazy, as I bought and now paid off my 2016 Jeep Cherokee V6 model and never have had any issues. I use synthetic oil, and K&N filter and runs great. Sorry for your troubles.
I just bought a 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk a month ago. If you slow down it won’t downshift from 3 unless you come to a complete stop. It is flat out dangerous because if you pull out into traffic it won’t go. I am fighting with everything I have with the dealer. They basically refuse to acknowledge the issue. I am so close to hiring a lawyer if they don’t take this car back.
I took a black on black sport on a test drive and it was flawless didn’t have any problems I was afraid it wouldn’t be able to get out into traffic but it did and it was quick smooth and ready to dance. But if course it was new lol but I see people are still buying these heels I think you guys might have just got a bad one that might need servicing or a program flash
This is 2021 and this a gotdamn shame this shit still happening to ALL these Cherokees. Someone I know just paid theirs off like 5 months ago and now this is happening.
My niece just bought a 2015 jeep Cherokee. I told her buy a toyota or lexus instead she didnt listen. Its just matter of time until she have this problem.
I worked on a contract overseas and the company leased an entire fleet of Jeep Cherokees along with the Compass. Every single Cherokee had transmission issues. They often shift an random intervals and would lurch the vehicle ahead when shifting from 4th to 5th. Absolute worst modern vehicle I have ever driven. What's sad is that when visiting home, I see these everywhere.
OMGGGG I FEEL YOUR PAIN I HAVE SOO MUCH ISSUE WITH MY 2016 JEEP AND I JUST GOT IT. REPLACED THE TRANS AND STILL THE SAME ISSUES. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Bought a 2014 accord coupe v6 with 145k kilometers on her. Almost a year now with 168k kilometers and I've only changed oil and 2 tires lol. God bless Honda.
@@Natethegreat200c That V6 Honda has a great 6 speed auto trans! Not that 9 speed POS Fiat outsourced to Germany. And Germany did a crap job to sabotage Fiat!! Now you're beginning to understand.
I have a 2016 jeep cherokee with 66k miles just got it almost 5 months ago & it just started shaking out of nowhere while I was driving. The engine light cuts on & off and a big A with an arrow and an exclamation point around! Thinking about getting rid of it
Take one of your battery cable off and let it set for 5 minutes to rest the computer and your problem will be solved. I have the same year and model as yours and that's the only way i can get it to stop doing that
Same issues here. Just picked it up from the dealer and they said there was no code and this is about the tenth time this has happened and 9 of those times it's been on the busiest f-ing freeway (101). The last time it happened going uphill and the only thing I could do was let it roll backwards into the shoulder while traffic was going forward at 60 - 70 mph. It's scary as crap. I'm escalating this to jeep cares and see what happens. Bought it new for $42K 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
It’s your door sensor not reading All products with an electronic parking brake will apply the parking break upon shifting into gear if any of the doors are sensed open. Safety feature !!
sorry for your problem bro. I had a 2015 Cherokee. I kept it for 3 yrs and had to sell it before I encountered these guaranteed forthcoming problems. Im 52 yrs and never had a car I owned less than 11 yrs except for the crummy Jeep. Never again. Good luck with it
I have had issues with my 16 jeep, tells me 4x4 is not working, engine light on. My neighbor texted me to tell me lights were flashing on outside and inside of the jeep. It was also starting itself sitting in the driveway. I already told jeep it's a damn lemon. I bought this thing brand new, nothing but trouble.
I have a 2016 dodge Durango that has done it once it was an update that had to be done to the transmission and auto start stop system after the update was done has never done it again
I suggest describing your findings to Jeep Chrysler, and perhaps these issue with the, now well known, faulty German transmission issues could be resolved.
I have a 2016 grand Cherokee summit, and took it for a diagnosed and some codes came out recalls but my engine light still on after a reset. Called the dealer ( jeep ) and they told me to drive it for few miles. But Im concerned.
Because of being stuck with the very same problems not knowing the problem until I viewed your video....🥴.so much for safely driving across country,I can't even get out of the parking lot🙄 Yet THANKSGIVING GLORIFYING HALLELUJAH,VERY HAPPY UNTO ***G💛D***THAT I'M NOT IN THE MIDDLE OFF ~ OF NOWHERE WITH 1000MILES OF HIGHWAYS IN EITHER DIRECTION !
Manabozo, you are probably right, but after incidents, and much more research I learn that the 9 speed transmission made in Germany had a common defect, and was the culprit.
Hello Marvin, I want to warn people about the many problems in modern jeeps, and i wanted to ask you if it's alright if i use more than 30 seconds of this video?
My emergency brake was coming on. Had a leak into the module. Common issue with 2016. They are “considering” a recall. Mine cost a fortune to resolve… not under warranty!
I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee 75th anniversary. I am the only owner and I've been stuck now four times. 2 times in traffic, once in a taco bell lot and once in my own driveway. I get stuck, can't move and nothing helps at the time I have asked Jeep about this and they say no reports have been made, yet I see its a problem with many
I just bought the same vehicle last week (May 19, 2021). My check engine light came on last night (May 22) and when I plugged my FIXD computer into it, I got a P0303 code (cylinder 3 is misfiring). Talk about be mad 😡. I have an appointment made to take it back to the dealership tomorrow morning at 7am. I did purchase the extended warranty thank God! I live 60 miles from them so I am praying that I make it and the repairs can get done. After reading the comments and frustrations that so many people have with Jeep’s (which I thought was a good US made vehicle), I’m starting to have second thoughts. Think I might have to go back and rethink getting the INFINITI I was planning to buy. Here’s hoping the issue can get fixed. Thank you for sharing your experience with this vehicle. Appreciate it.
I just paid off a 2015 Jeep Cherokee..haven't had any real problems. Except when I first got it.. I went to take off and it just shut off. It did this like on three different occasions..Guess what I needed? An oil change. The car was trying to prevent me from locking up my motor. Guess who stays up on her oil changes now. My service shifter light has come on.. and I just watched a video on how to fix it.. I'm praying Im able to enjoy this vehicle for a long time . I'm enjoying o car note. oh yeah I had to replace my radiator.
So, Recently purchase the 2016 Cherokee limited. Has anyone had issues? I total can not stand the start/stop feature. Sometimes i forget to shut it off. Thanks in advance.
I have the exact same problem with my 2018 keep Cherokee, only has 40k on the odometer, I bought this vehicle brand new off the lot, and almost got into two major accidents trying to get home. Now that I am home the vehicle will not start, and the horn keeps honking like its getting broke into, I had to unhook the battery to shut it off ( key fob won't connect). Replaced key fob battery and reconected the battery and still wont stop honking or start.
Brakes are locked up and my engine is disabled, had it towed to the Jeep dealership and it's been there a month now and no progress. They can not figure it out, very dangerous vehicle.
I have 76k on my 2017 Cherokee, v6 4wd model. In the shop now due to the transmission shifting hard or skipping gears. It’s never cut off though or stopped working.
Mine does the same thing I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it tho that’s just how these transmissions are they ride rough Dodge makes shitty transmissions.
I’m having the same issue but after googling enough, the dealer needs to flash set the system. Basically a software update. I am going to a dealer soon.
@@regisnyder we tried the flash 4 times never fixed the issue. Jeep finally put a new trans in, but now havin EVAP problems. Cant fill the tank full or car stalls until EVAP empties itself. about 20 miles of hectic driving
Mustafaljuboori not a mechanic or a software engineer but car computers try and learn driving behavior. A new car will shift slightly different than an older car that’s been driven by the same person for a while. My guess is because the car can already change how it shifts, a software glitch that tries to shift the car into park isn’t unreasonable. I’d love to really know what’s up though
I had a 2015 Cherokee if you have one GET OUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN my keep did this 2 months after getting it. I remeber one time my gear shifter was flashing and the car would rev beyond red line I had to put it in park IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET and cut it off. Jeep is the worst car I ever had
I have a 2017 Wrangler and it’s been great for the most part, minor repairs throughout the years but I have a lot of miles on it so nothing that wild considering how much drive time I’ve put in. My mom has a 2015 Cherokee and I found this video because this has been happening. It’s been such a lemon for her the past few years she’s owned it. My grandpa had a 2016 Grand Cherokee and couldn’t say enough great things about it and he was always a car guy. Depends on the Jeep I suppose, but nobody in my family will ever get another Cherokee ever again.
@@sivapittamas2045 no, it’s done it in the past and just eventually went away. Same thing happened about a month ago when I made my comment. Eventually got the parking break to come off and it stayed off so far. Sorry, I don’t have any solution right now :(
Ive had this happen to my car recently. My battery was tested fine. Anyone fix the problem? My code reader says its the body control module....thank you!
This is safety issue bro it was happened to me also And i asked i found out the company wants you to push brake before changing transmission I tried and it works !
Claire Burnsed it’s clear before you go push the brake then turn the transmission to D for example you’re stopping in traffic light and you put transmission to N normally,when the light gets Green the first step is push the brake then turn the transmission to D it wouldn’t stuck you anymore.
Good news and hope bro, really i just bought the same car 5 days ago and faced same issue at the traffic light and thought the car has a problem with its transmission, but i saw same warning that instruct to put down the break and change it to D bow it's ok.
Mine had service shifter and the dealership said it was the shifter bezel. They replaced and not a week out of the dealership repair the service shifter light came on again. Supposedly all recalls have been done. Idk
I had my 2015 Jeep Cherokee sport, the engineer light start turns on occasionly since 2017, send to dealer few times, they worked on it, and every time engineer light on again soon after got back my car. it then had big transmission problem 2019, can't backward, send the dealer since Sept 2019 to replace the power transimission, got my car back Jan 2020, and since Aug, 2020, it start popup the message " Shift P postion then to the desired gear", sometimes it can not move while driveing, It is very scary and dangerous, so frustrate.
I hAVE A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 120,000 MILES AND HAVENT HAD 1 ISSUE, NOT 1. no recalls or tsa , been rock solid!!! That being said , ALL VEHICLE MAKERS HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS, THEY ARE MECHANICAL AND WILL HAVE ISSUES AT SOME TIME
Modern day cars have all kinds of sensors that can dictate what the car does based on their diagnosis. The service airbag fault might be causing the car to not want to drive, for the safety of the driver.. so it disengages the transmission and stuff. I mean, that may be a possibility, I ran into a similar issue and the car refuse to speed up and was gradually slowing down. Nothing was wrong with the transmission, just the car excecuting a safety measure to protect itself and or the diver. Still is dangerous tho for cars to do such things out of nowhere
I thank God I watched this video this morning and read through these comments because I was about to get a ‘16 Cherokee Sport this afternoon....NVM ABOUT THAT YIKES
I had this exact problem and my mechanic changed my battery because he said everything couldn’t communicate because the battery was giving it enough to communicate. I got stuck in so many intersections. I called Chrysler and they said my car wasn’t a part of the recall. Now the 4wd light is coming on still so it’s back to the mechanic today.
What happened because I'm having the same exact problem rn and they telling me the same thing. I can't believe a bad battery could cause so many problems. My 4wd light has been on since a week after I brought it. And transmission light comes on randomly while I'm driving and car has no power to move.
I bought a 2016 and never had one issue with it. I traded it in for a 2022 brand new and with less than 300 miles on, had for a month the car starts and shifts but won’t move. At dealers now. I got a lemon
Quítale el ahorrador de combustible es una botón con una A eso hace que cuando tú aces un alto y frenas el motor se apaga y cuando quitas el pedal del freno se pone en marcha nuevamente
62k miles and have had no issues like this. That thing had 31k miles, a cracked windshield and an engine light and was only 2 years old. I suspect that car was beat to death before you got it.
Be ready to replace the windshield often I’m on my 3rd windshield. Not sure if it has to do with it being heated. But I’ve never replaced so many windshields and they’re will over 400 a piece
I too am having the same issues. Luckily it happened a block from my house. I was able to get it in the driveway. Took the battery out to check it. It was fine. Put it back, now just the engine light is on. Getting diagnostics on Wednesday.
That was actually what i was told I have a 2017 jeep grand cherokee and for the 4 months I've had it, the service shifter jas come on once each month. I will be going back to that dealership early Monday morning.

I have a 2016 jeep cherokee with 66k miles just got it almost 5 months ago & it just started shaking out of nowhere while I was driving. The engine light cuts on & off and a big A with an arrow and an exclamation point around! Thinking about getting rid of it
Take one of your battery cable off and let it set for 5 minutes to rest the computer and your problem will be solved. I have the same year and model as yours and that's the only way i can get it to stop doing that
Did issues correct it self ?
Same issues here. Just picked it up from the dealer and they said there was no code and this is about the tenth time this has happened and 9 of those times it's been on the busiest f-ing freeway (101). The last time it happened going uphill and the only thing I could do was let it roll backwards into the shoulder while traffic was going forward at 60 - 70 mph. It's scary as crap. I'm escalating this to jeep cares and see what happens. Bought it new for $42K 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
This was so long ago but do you have any updates? Did you get to fix it? Experiencing this on my 2016 cherokee
@@luislombert7066mannnn I'm experiencing it on my 2017 Cherokee, please let me know if you find any helpful solutions
Its an bad wheel bearing. The magnet for the speed sensor is falling apart. Just fixed ours on Saturday.
Did this fix your issue? Mine seems like the transmission slips and traction control light flashes
Had exact same issues ..dealer replaced trans control module and valve body..still acts up with serious lag time in shifting🤐
how much does that cost?? or enters at warranty?
they should replace full transmission not just valve body
How much did that cost
Aimee Coslovich i have a 2018 yes it high revvs before shifting
Hi Rayson, you best and only way to fix problem is to, perhaps, get rid of it. Good luck!
It’s your door sensor not reading All products with an electronic parking brake will apply the parking break upon shifting into gear if any of the doors are sensed open. Safety feature !!
Not at high speeds buddie
Our jeep now is saying No Keyfob detected. And the brake is so hard couldn’t push it normally it felt like stuck. Ugggh Black Friday today!!
last 3 years and 8 days jeep failed to fix my transmission,,they did software update over 10 time ,,,no improvement
same here, same issues with my 2017 jeep cherokee. worst purchase ever
Hi, what ever happened to this issue? Can you please give us an update? Thank you and good luck!! Good video!
Update ?
@@jhongaytan155 I guess I meant, what did the guy find out about this issue, if he did find out anything from FCA or anyone else.
In Australia we crush them with excavators. That fixs it
jajaja lmao
Was just looking at getting one of these!!! Thought it would be nice to have it for two kids. Not so sure now. 😞😞😞😞
Yani Tillman get a used Toyota Sienna
What did you end up getting? I'm currently car shopping and I was seriously considering a 2019 Jeep Cherokee..
Life RAC Toyota’s are so bland and boring. W
Get the damn car. Lots of people love their Cherokee.
Pentastar Nate I totally agree. The Honda Passports are fire!! That’s what I ended up getting
sorry for your problem bro. I had a 2015 Cherokee. I kept it for 3 yrs and had to sell it before I encountered these guaranteed forthcoming problems. Im 52 yrs and never had a car I owned less than 11 yrs except for the crummy Jeep. Never again. Good luck with it
Same here as well, they end up replacing the gear
I have had issues with my 16 jeep, tells me 4x4 is not working, engine light on. My neighbor texted me to tell me lights were flashing on outside and inside of the jeep. It was also starting itself sitting in the driveway. I already told jeep it's a damn lemon. I bought this thing brand new, nothing but trouble.
Sounds like the movie Chritine. Scary.
@@sharonh5399 Right? And she was drinking all the gasoline!!
I had mine for 3 years no problem at all.
You will have it soon, How many miles?
Fuck u
4 years and 73000 miles i live in Chicago none of these issues on my 2016 3.2 4x4 latitude. Does shift different now. Knock on wood
Fall Guy How about now? Earlier models have more issues
@@fallguy4209 this problem is synonymous with the 2.4 Tigershark. The 3.2 Pentastar isn’t known to share these problems.
What did the repair place say? Any updates as of yet? If I would've known this had all the issues, I would've NEVER bought this piece of junk!
don't even think to buy,,
I have a 2016 dodge Durango that has done it once it was an update that had to be done to the transmission and auto start stop system after the update was done has never done it again
A friend has the same problem, what a shame!!! Jeep shame on you...
Christopher, I would suggest letting the dealership know, and then get rid of the car. There has not been many cases of resolve.
I'm having the same issue and they are making me pay 2000nto fix it
You are so correct because mines does the same thing “recall”
I suggest describing your findings to Jeep Chrysler, and perhaps these issue with the, now well known, faulty German transmission issues could be resolved.
Do you know how to reply to comments?
I have a 2016 grand Cherokee summit, and took it for a diagnosed and some codes came out recalls but my engine light still on after a reset. Called the dealer ( jeep ) and they told me to drive it for few miles. But Im concerned.
Because of being stuck with the very same problems not knowing the problem until I viewed your video....🥴.so much for safely driving across country,I can't even get out of the parking lot🙄
Yet THANKSGIVING GLORIFYING HALLELUJAH,VERY HAPPY UNTO
***G💛D***THAT I'M NOT IN THE MIDDLE OFF ~ OF NOWHERE WITH 1000MILES OF HIGHWAYS IN EITHER DIRECTION !
Manabozo, you are probably right, but after incidents, and much more research I learn that the 9 speed transmission made in Germany had a common defect, and was the culprit.
Hello Marvin, I want to warn people about the many problems in modern jeeps, and i wanted to ask you if it's alright if i use more than 30 seconds of this video?
My emergency brake was coming on. Had a leak into the module. Common issue with 2016. They are “considering” a recall. Mine cost a fortune to resolve… not under warranty!
I think they stopped making Jeep Cherokee’s in 2001… idk wtf these new things are but they seem scary as hell!
I understand, I simply got rid of mine. Good luck with your resolve.
Why you talking to yourself in your own comment section
I am seeing that as a solution. Good luck!
I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee 75th anniversary. I am the only owner and I've been stuck now four times. 2 times in traffic, once in a taco bell lot and once in my own driveway. I get stuck, can't move and nothing helps at the time
I have asked Jeep about this and they say no reports have been made, yet I see its a problem with many
I just bought the same vehicle last week (May 19, 2021). My check engine light came on last night (May 22) and when I plugged my FIXD computer into it, I got a P0303 code (cylinder 3 is misfiring). Talk about be mad 😡. I have an appointment made to take it back to the dealership tomorrow morning at 7am. I did purchase the extended warranty thank God! I live 60 miles from them so I am praying that I make it and the repairs can get done. After reading the comments and frustrations that so many people have with Jeep’s (which I thought was a good US made vehicle), I’m starting to have second thoughts. Think I might have to go back and rethink getting the INFINITI I was planning to buy. Here’s hoping the issue can get fixed. Thank you for sharing your experience with this vehicle. Appreciate it.
I have a 2017 and had a recall done for software update have had no issues sense
I just paid off a 2015 Jeep Cherokee..haven't had any real problems. Except when I first got it.. I went to take off and it just shut off. It did this like on three different occasions..Guess what I needed? An oil change. The car was trying to prevent me from locking up my motor. Guess who stays up on her oil changes now. My service shifter light has come on.. and I just watched a video on how to fix it.. I'm praying Im able to enjoy this vehicle for a long time . I'm enjoying o car note. oh yeah I had to replace my radiator.
Yeah, we have to expect some repair issues, but to have it paid off is a plus. Good luck with it!
So, Recently purchase the 2016 Cherokee limited. Has anyone had issues?
I total can not stand the start/stop feature. Sometimes i forget to shut it off. Thanks in advance.
I have the exact same problem with my 2018 keep Cherokee, only has 40k on the odometer, I bought this vehicle brand new off the lot, and almost got into two major accidents trying to get home. Now that I am home the vehicle will not start, and the horn keeps honking like its getting broke into, I had to unhook the battery to shut it off ( key fob won't connect). Replaced key fob battery and reconected the battery and still wont stop honking or start.
Brakes are locked up and my engine is disabled, had it towed to the Jeep dealership and it's been there a month now and no progress. They can not figure it out, very dangerous vehicle.
@@antonioanaya9089 any luck to fix your issue ?
I have 76k on my 2017 Cherokee, v6 4wd model. In the shop now due to the transmission shifting hard or skipping gears. It’s never cut off though or stopped working.
Mine does the same thing I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it tho that’s just how these transmissions are they ride rough Dodge makes shitty transmissions.
I have a 2015 trailhawk edition and this has happened to me a handful of times, took it to Jeep and they said there was nothing wrong 😑
I’m having the same issue but after googling enough, the dealer needs to flash set the system. Basically a software update. I am going to a dealer soon.
@@regisnyder we tried the flash 4 times never fixed the issue. Jeep finally put a new trans in, but now havin EVAP problems. Cant fill the tank full or car stalls until EVAP empties itself. about 20 miles of hectic driving
Hi Jessica, many have tried to get theirs serviced, often unsuccessfully. Good luck!
Just had the same problem with my Jeep Grand cherokee 2017 !
It’s software, had the same issue and they updated and it worked fine
Can you do a video explaining why ?
Mustafaljuboori not a mechanic or a software engineer but car computers try and learn driving behavior. A new car will shift slightly different than an older car that’s been driven by the same person for a while. My guess is because the car can already change how it shifts, a software glitch that tries to shift the car into park isn’t unreasonable. I’d love to really know what’s up though
I had a 2015 Cherokee if you have one GET OUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN my keep did this 2 months after getting it. I remeber one time my gear shifter was flashing and the car would rev beyond red line I had to put it in park IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET and cut it off. Jeep is the worst car I ever had
I have a 2017 Wrangler and it’s been great for the most part, minor repairs throughout the years but I have a lot of miles on it so nothing that wild considering how much drive time I’ve put in. My mom has a 2015 Cherokee and I found this video because this has been happening. It’s been such a lemon for her the past few years she’s owned it. My grandpa had a 2016 Grand Cherokee and couldn’t say enough great things about it and he was always a car guy. Depends on the Jeep I suppose, but nobody in my family will ever get another Cherokee ever again.
Did you get any fix for this issue ?
@@kryssundquistDid you get any fix for this issue ??
@@sivapittamas2045 no, it’s done it in the past and just eventually went away. Same thing happened about a month ago when I made my comment. Eventually got the parking break to come off and it stayed off so far. Sorry, I don’t have any solution right now :(
Ive had this happen to my car recently. My battery was tested fine. Anyone fix the problem? My code reader says its the body control module....thank you!
Chrysler. Enough said.
Fiat ... even worse :)
This is safety issue bro it was happened to me also
And i asked i found out the company wants you to push brake before changing transmission
I tried and it works !
I'm having the same problem. What do you mean push the break before changing the transmission?
Thank you!
Claire Burnsed it’s clear before you go push the brake then turn the transmission to D for example you’re stopping in traffic light and you put transmission to N normally,when the light gets Green the first step is push the brake then turn the transmission to D it wouldn’t stuck you anymore.
Good news and hope bro, really i just bought the same car 5 days ago and faced same issue at the traffic light and thought the car has a problem with its transmission, but i saw same warning that instruct to put down the break and change it to D bow it's ok.
Havoon, I don't know, but I would suggest researching issues in that regard.
Thanks for sharing! I was considering buying a brand new 2020 Jeep Cherokee.
I guess it's luck of the draw. Four years of driving and no issues here.
You need the factory re-flash... it's a recall item and it's free
I do have same problem today . We should come together and fight for this before if does coast our life
how did you fix this issue ?
I’m going through the same thing. 2016 Jeep Cherokee limited need help
Did you get any fix for this case ??
Mine had service shifter and the dealership said it was the shifter bezel. They replaced and not a week out of the dealership repair the service shifter light came on again. Supposedly all recalls have been done. Idk
Wow Mannaf, unbelievable! This should simply made a recall.
Seems like its been in a accident before bro
I have a 2016 cherokee love it no problems
Still no problems?
I had my 2015 Jeep Cherokee sport, the engineer light start turns on occasionly since 2017, send to dealer few times, they worked on it, and every time engineer light on again soon after got back my car. it then had big transmission problem 2019, can't backward, send the dealer since Sept 2019 to replace the power transimission, got my car back Jan 2020, and since Aug, 2020, it start popup the message " Shift P postion then to the desired gear", sometimes it can not move while driveing, It is very scary and dangerous, so frustrate.
This was like trying to read a crossword puzzle good lord😑🥵😨😓😅
I hAVE A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 120,000 MILES AND HAVENT HAD 1 ISSUE, NOT 1. no recalls or tsa , been rock solid!!! That being said , ALL VEHICLE MAKERS HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS, THEY ARE MECHANICAL AND WILL HAVE ISSUES AT SOME TIME
Modern day cars have all kinds of sensors that can dictate what the car does based on their diagnosis.
The service airbag fault might be causing the car to not want to drive, for the safety of the driver.. so it disengages the transmission and stuff.
I mean, that may be a possibility, I ran into a similar issue and the car refuse to speed up and was gradually slowing down. Nothing was wrong with the transmission, just the car excecuting a safety measure to protect itself and or the diver. Still is dangerous tho for cars to do such things out of nowhere
Why would the car put the driver in even more danger just because of an airbag malfunction
just found this. my 2017 jeep cherokee does this. getting rid of it asap.
I have a 2016 jeep Cherokee and my engine light currently cuts on & off and my car keeps shaking is yours doing the same thing ?
I thank God I watched this video this morning and read through these comments because I was about to get a ‘16 Cherokee Sport this afternoon....NVM ABOUT THAT YIKES
You’re missing out on a great SUV.
Look at videos of literally every other vehicle and you will find stuff like this.
I have a 2016 Jeep cherokee, and I love my truck!
How is ended up your Jeep transmission story? I have a 2018 trailhawk and I am wondering if I gonna face with this issue too
I had this exact problem and my mechanic changed my battery because he said everything couldn’t communicate because the battery was giving it enough to communicate. I got stuck in so many intersections. I called Chrysler and they said my car wasn’t a part of the recall. Now the 4wd light is coming on still so it’s back to the mechanic today.
What happened because I'm having the same exact problem rn and they telling me the same thing. I can't believe a bad battery could cause so many problems. My 4wd light has been on since a week after I brought it. And transmission light comes on randomly while I'm driving and car has no power to move.
Did they ever get it fix???. Did you applied the lemon law on them???
2015 grand Cherokee experiencing this issue. I’m stuck at work. It’s hot as hell in Texas 😅
Sorry to here that. Just get rid of it. You can go wrong with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I have a 2016 jeep cherokee sport. So far no problems except the struts wore out pretty quick.
It’s a problem with the wiring harness. Chrysler also extended the warranty and will replace the transmission for free.
Is this for rral?
@@bmelon5828No
It’s the wiring in the shifter it wear out around 100,000 miles I had to replace mine trans is good still
I bought a 2016 and never had one issue with it. I traded it in for a 2022 brand new and with less than 300 miles on, had for a month the car starts and shifts but won’t move. At dealers now. I got a lemon
Quítale el ahorrador de combustible es una botón con una A eso hace que cuando tú aces un alto y frenas el motor se apaga y cuando quitas el pedal del freno se pone en marcha nuevamente
62k miles and have had no issues like this.
That thing had 31k miles, a cracked windshield and an engine light and was only 2 years old. I suspect that car was beat to death before you got it.
I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee, barely used. 28k miles. I got it BRAND NEW. same issue.
Be ready to replace the windshield often I’m on my 3rd windshield. Not sure if it has to do with it being heated. But I’ve never replaced so many windshields and they’re will over 400 a piece
I too am having the same issues. Luckily it happened a block from my house. I was able to get it in the driveway. Took the battery out to check it. It was fine. Put it back, now just the engine light is on. Getting diagnostics on Wednesday.
Good luck!
@@marvinlewis1879 what ended up being the issue?
Faulty German transmissions were installed in certain years.
seams like the pc can not see what gear the shifter is in. it may be the gear shifter sensor.
That was actually what i was told
I have a 2017 jeep grand cherokee and for the 4 months I've had it, the service shifter jas come on once each month. I will be going back to that dealership early Monday morning.
