2016 Jeep Cherokee ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

THE AUTOMATIC START STOP SYSTEM SHOWS FAILED.

The shifter causes an error whenever I shift into drive. An alert comes up on the dashboard making the dashboard inaccessible and the PRNDL lights up red. The alert says "service shifter."

Driving down the highway the service shifter just pops up

Our jeep started displaying and error stating "vehicle needs to be stopped to shift" and after this error would display the engine would cut off. We took it to the dealership and we were told that the shifter bezel needed to be replaced. It was replaced in March. We we driving our car again on 5/8/22 and error code said "service shifter now" so we went back to the dealership and they are saying the shifter needs replaced a second time.

service shifter light went on and off for about a month. then one day went over a speed bump. and ever since then the message doesnt go away. ive cleared the codes had it flashed change fuses. and nothing. EVeryone has the same complaints about it and jeep dealerships dont take it serious. its a problem when i can see the speedometer or fuel range. or any other lights or warnings becuase that message wont go away.

This car has been stopping in the middle of the road basically since I got it. I bring it in and it breaks down over and over. Most recently in front of my house on a very busy street with 18 wheelers. I do not feel safe in this vehicle.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING COMES ON EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON. THE LIGHT INDICATORS ON THE THE GEAR SHIFTER NO LONGER COME ON. THE DASHBOARD IS LOCKED WITH THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE. IT HAS BEEN RECURRING FOR THE PAST MONTH. MECHANICS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.*DT*JB

I'VE READ MUCH ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY 2016 JEEP WITH LESS THAN 20K MILES ON IT IS GETTING A "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING MESSAGE. WHEN THIS LIGHT TURNS ON, ALL THE SHIFTER LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IT CLEARS THE FAULT ONLY TO SEE THE ERROR MESSAGE POP UP AGAIN WITHIN 5 OR SO MINUTES OF DRIVING. THIS ALSO MAKES IT WHERE I CANNOT MANUALLY UP OR DOWN SHIFT. NO ISSUES TURNING OR STATIONARY, SEEMS TO BE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE CITY OR HIGHWAY.

The "service shifter" warning come on. And all of the lights go on on the shifter for example Park Neutral, Drive. I had this problem a couple of years ago and the dealer replaced the shifter assembly and harness. Now the same problem is happening. After shutting off the engine the message disperses but comes back on after a few minutes. Now I'm afraid that I'll have to pay for the repair because the car has 48,000 miles on it and out of warranty. Is there a recall on this problem?

I BOUGHT A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE WITH 56,000. I HAD IT FOR 1 DAY BEFORE I GOT A SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIT UP RED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME IN RIGHT AWAY, BUT THE LIGHT WENT OFF WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME BACK ON FOR A FEW WEEK, BUT NOW IT COMES ON EVERYDAY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2016-2019 JEEP'S, AND EVEN AFTER GETTING THE WIRING AND SHIFTER REPLACED THE ISSUE WILL COME BACK. I'VE READ ABOUT PEOPLE WHOSE CAR GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND THEY CAN'T PUT IT INTO DRIVE OR PARK. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING TO HAVE THE ISSUE 'FIXED' WHEN IT ISN'T REALLY GETTING FIXED AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY.

SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUES, THIS IS MY FOURTH TIME NEEDING TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE BEZEL AND HARNESS.. DASH SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER AND ALL LIGHTS FROM PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE ETC LIGHT UP RED WHILE DRIVING AT WHICH TIME MUST PULL VEHICLE OVER AND RESTART TO RESET IT UNTIL REPAIRED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES NOW BEGINNING IN 2016, 2017, 2019, AND AGAIN NOW IN 2020. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE WITH THIS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST PERHAPS PUTTING OUT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR, MY BATTERY HAS DIED (OCT), MY HARSH COLD START NEEDED REPLACEMENT (NOV), MY RADIO COMPLETELY DIED AND COULD NOT BE UPDATED (DEC) AND RECENTLY WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS AND BY FAR THE MOST CONCERNING IS THAT MY JEEP WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOPPING FOR ONLY A MINUTE. THIS IS NOT SUE RO LOW OIL OR ANYTHING OF MY OWN DOING. IT WILL TELL ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEN INTO GEAR. YESTERDAY WAS THE MOST CONCERNING AS IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND NOTHING WORKING, STEERING, LIGHTS NOTHING AT ALL ON THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK BUT MY KEYS WOULDN'T EVEN BE RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER WHO THEN STATED THEY CAN'T FIND A CODE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, THE OIL IS PERFECTLY FINE AND THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BC IT COULD BE ANYTHING. I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS IS ELECTRICAL IN SOME WAY AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF SOME KIND AS I HAVE FOUND 100S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME CAR AND SAME ENGINE TYPE. IT IS DANGEROUS THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT PUTTING A RECALL ON WHATEVER IS GOING ON OR AT LEAST TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS ALL JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRADE THIS CAR IN OR GET ANOTHER ONE WITH MY FINANCIAL SITUATION AND MY ENTIRE BUSINESS IS RUN OFF OF ME DRIVING. I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED AS IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN A BLIND CURVE WHERE PEOPLE FLY THROUGH AT OVER 55 MPH. I HAD TO HAVE AN OFFICER COME AND SIT BEHIND ME I WAS SO SCARED AS THE CAR WOULD DO NOTHING AT ALL!!!! I HOPE IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT THEIR FAMILY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND KNOWS TO SUE CHRYSLER FOR EVERYTHING WHEN AN ACCIDENT RESULTS IN SOMEONE'S DEATH!!! *TR

MY VEHICLE IS AT 86,500 MILES AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE HAS COME UP ON MY DASHBOARD MORE THAN ONCE NOW AND FROM WHAT I CAN FIND, THERE IS NO SOLID OR PERMANENT FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE THE BE ABLE TO FIX MY CAR AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AGAIN.

THE CAR DASHBOARD KEEP SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER. THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING ANYTIME ON ALL ROADS AND PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING. ALL GEARS ON SHIFTER ARE LIGHT RED. P R N D

SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE CENTER DISPLAY AND IS LOCK IN PLACE, NOT BEING ABLE TO SCROLL THROUGH THE MENUS ANY LONGER. NEXT TO THE SHIFTER ALL LIGHTS FOR SHIFTER POSITION ARE ILLUMINATED AND YOU CANNOT SEE WHICH GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN ANYMORE FROM LOOKING DOWN AT THE SHIFTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES MOSTLY WHILE IN MOTION BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY. THE MESSAGE INCLUDING ALL OTHER INDICATIONS CAN GO AWAY WITH A FULL SHUTDOWN.

SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR COMES ON- SOLID RED LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE SHIFTER IN EVERY GEAR. COMES ON EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. CARGURUS HAS SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO NOT REALLY KNOW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS, REPLACING ENGINES, TRANSMISSIONS, SHIFTERS- ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM COME BACK FOR THESE FOLKS. CLEARLY, A RECALL IS IN ORDER. I AM CONCERNED IF I TAKE MINE IN, I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHERS, PRICE GOUGED- WITH NO REAL SOLUTION.

SERVICE SHIFTER COMES ON AND SHIFTER PRND ALL RED LIGHTS COME ON AND YOU CAN NOT TELL WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN. IT CAME ON ONCE WHEN YOU SHUT OFF THE CARE IT WENT AWAY IT SIS THIS TWICE NOW IT JUST STAYS LIT. UP IN RED.

WHILE LEAVING MY OFFICE AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED MID TURN. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, NO BATTERY LIGHT APPEARED AND THE DASH ,RADIO AND HEAD LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. A MESSAGE APPEARED IN MY DASH TELLING ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEN SHIFT INTO THE DESIRED GEAR. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART IT 3 TIMES BEFORE IT STARTED AGAIN. NOW THE CAR DOES THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER BEING TOLD BY A PROFESSIONAL THAT THEY CAN'T PIN POINT THE ISSUE.

I JUST PURCHASED THE JEEP A MONTH AGO & IT HAS 43,000 MILES. WHEN THE JEEP IS IN GEAR A "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE POPS UP ON DASH. ONCE IT POPS UP YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR MILES PER HOUR UNTIL YOU PULL OVER, SHUT THE JEEP OFF & RESTART. I WAS PULLED OVER & CITED FOR MY SPEED BUT I HAD NOWHERE TO PULL OF THE HIGHWAY TO. I FEEL LIKE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE MESSAGE ONLY POPS UP RANDOMLY EVERY THREE OR 4 DAYS & EVERYONE I CALL SAY THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS & IT NOTHING COMES UP WHEN HOOK UP CODE READER.

SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED IN TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN THE SPAN OF A MONTH. FIRST ENCOUNTER, WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER TAKING THE CAR OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT. I WAS ENTERING THE DRIVE AWAY AND ALL OF SUDDEN, SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED AND ALL THE GEAR INDICATORS FLASHED BRIGHT RED. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP,, I PROBABLY PUT LESS THAT 10 MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE IGNITION. PUT IT IN DRIVE, THIS TIME WHILE STATIONARY AND IT APPEARED AGAIN. I DIDN'T TAKE A PHOTO THE FIRST TIME, AS I ASSUMED IT WAS A FLUKE. DIDN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE AFTER THAT TILL TODAY, MAY 17TH. I STARTED UP THE IGNITION AND HEADED ON MY WAY OFF, WITHIN 5 MINS OF MY RIDE, I HEARD A BEEP. LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE AGAIN SO I DROVE OFF INTO A PARKING LOT TO CHECK OUT THE ISSUE. I STOPPED AND WENT INTO PARK. THE RED INDICATORS WERE STILL APPARENT. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE 5X AND REPEATED TURNING ON THE IGNITION, PUT IT IN DRIVE, SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR APPEARS AND GOING INTO PARK AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE ALL WHILE STATIONARY IN THE PARKING LOT. AFTER THE 6TH TIME, I TOOK IT SLOW AND IT DIDN'T APPEAR. SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I PROBABLY HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE JEEP LESS THAN 100 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING MY SUV TWICE IT DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT MOVE I COULDN'T PUSH THE GAS TO MAKE IT GO FASTER OR ANYTHING. WHEN I TURNED IT OF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON IT HAD TROUBLE STARTING BACK UP. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE 2 MONTHS AGO AND GET THE SYNTHETIC OIL TO IMPROVE MY ENGINES LIFE, I'M NOT SURE FOR AN OIL CHNAGE UNTIL NOVEMBER 19. MY DEALERSHIP PUT OIL IN FOR ME AND SAID THAT THIS ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN IS A FAIL SAFE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM BEING DAMAGED. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN VERY FRIGHTENING AS BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADWAYS. MY DEALERSHIP HAS ADVISED ME TO COME BACK IN AND GET A OIL CHANGE AND THEY WILL SEAL MY OIL RESERVOIR COMPONENTS AND PUT A DYE PACK IN AND HAVE ME COME BACK IN AFTER DRIVING 1000 MILES. AFTER READING THE REVIEWS ON THIS WEBSITE IT APPEARS MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WHICH TRULY FRIGHTENS ME I BOUGHT MY TRUCK BRAND NEW AND IT ON HAS 32500 MILES ON IT, I HOPE THAT SOME MAJOR INVESTIGATIONS OCCUR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE.

VEHICLE'S SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT REMAINS ON AND ALL LIGHTS BESIDE GEARS PRND REMAIN ON. OCCURS AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT.

MY CAR HAS A "SERVICE SHIFTER " MESSAGE POPPED UP AT 34461 MILEAGE GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY JUST STRAIGHT NO TURNING NO NOTHING. THE SHIFTER LIGHTS ARE ALL LITE UP AS WEEL AND I CANNOT SEE THE MIDDLE SCREEN THAT SHOWS MY MPH IN BIG LETTERS. I CALLED JEEP STATING NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. TURNED CAR OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AND NO MESSAGE SECOND TIME WAS AT 36044 MILES GOING 15 MPH THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND THE SHIFTER IS ALL LITE UP AND "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME BACK ON AGAIN . TURNED CAR OFF AFTER PARKING AND TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW HOURS AND WAS NOT ON.

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, MY JEEP COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AND WE HAD TO START IT BACK UP AND IT STARTED BACK UP. HOWEVER THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEFORE AND THINK THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS CONSIDERING HOW MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS I AM SEEING ON THIS. I HAVE 2 KIDS IN MY CAR AT ALL TIMES AND FEAR IT DOING THIS WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO JEEP AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT BUT NOW IT JUST FEELS HESITANT WHILE DRIVING. SCARES ME TO DEATH
