2017 Jeep Cherokee Electrical System

When I turned the car off, the lights on the dashboard and ceiling stayed longer than the appropriate time. I went back to check and the dashboard went off but the ceiling stayed on. Next both lights were off but the dashboard came back on when I shut the door. It also randomly messages that the license plate light is out but works fine.

Service Shifter Light on at 50,000 miles

While driving the service shifter light pops on

Went to start my car and it didn't start. There was no cranking at all. Took it to the mechanic after jumping car. Mechanic called back few hours later. Said electrical is draing the power. Lucky I didn't loose my alternator. There was no one hurt and no sign of this happening before hand. Only the mechanic i took it too has checked it

MY BACK GATE/ TRUCK WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE AT ALL I PRESS THE BUTTON ON MY KEYS AND THE BUTTON ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GATE/TRUNK AND NOTHING THE ONLY WAS I CAN OPEN IT, IS IF WE CLAIM ON THE BACK AND MANUELING OPEN IT , WE TRIED EVERYTHING AND IT DOESN'T OPEN.

SERVICE SHIFTER, HAD IT REPLACED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY TWICE. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND HAS SEVERAL TIMES AND NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY RECALL THIS PART. IT IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS.

PURCHASED 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAIL HAWK NEW 10/2016. IF THE JEEP IS LEFT TO SIT 2 DAYS BATTERY WILL DRAIN AND NOT RESTART JEEP. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES. MOST RECENTLY 4-21-20. THIS NEW BATTERY KEEPS DRAINING AND 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD TO CALL TO HAVE IT RECHARGED. NOW BATTERY IS SHOWING BAD AND THEN OK. ALTERNATOR HAS DONE THE SAME BUT NOW SHOWING BAD. I THINK THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT KEEPS DRAINING BATTERIES. I ONLY HAVE 27,000 MILES ON JEEP.

THE HVAC MODULE STOPPED WORKING OUT OF NOWHERE. MY MILEAGE KEEPS FLASHING AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGN OF IT GETTING BAD IT JUST WOULDN'T COME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAG IT AND FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL THE SHIFTER LIGHTS LIGHT UP AND TURN RED

I'VE HAD THE SERVICE SHIFTER COME UP ON MY DASHBOARD, 2 TIMES THIS YEAR. 1ST HAPPENED IN JANUARY 2020, AND ON SEPTEMBER 9,2020. AND THEN THE SHIFTER LIGHTS UP RED ON EVERY GEAR. THE 1ST TIME THIS WENT OFF, I WAS LEAVING WORK AND JUST STARTED MY VEHICLE. THE 2ND TIME ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 IT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF PEOPLE VEHICLES IN ACCIDENTS, AFTER THIS HAPPENED. THEY STATE THAT THE VEHICLE GOES INTO PARK ALL BY ITSELF. THOSE SCARES ME TO DEATH, THIS VEHICLE NEEDS RECALLED!

THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEPT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS AND ALL GEARS LIT UP RED. I WAS CHARGED $375 TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT IF YOU SEARCH THE FORUMS IT IT IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE WITH A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE.

ON OCTOBER 20, 2020, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED IN RESPONSE TO A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' WARNING INDICATOR. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE 'SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS' WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND COMPLETED THE REPAIR EARLIER TODAY AT A COST OF $325.88. DESPITE HAVING PURCHASED A SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICE PROTECTION PLAN THROUGH ASC, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY CLAIM HAD BEEN DENIED AS THE 'AGREEMENT DOES NOT HAVE COVERAGE ON WIRING OR WIRING HARNESSES' AND THAT 'THE BEZEL IS CONSIDERED A BODY PART BY THE MANUFACTURER WHICH IS NOT COVERABLE.' MOST DISTURBING, BASED UPON A REVIEW OF COMPLAINTS GENERATED FOLLOWING A GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS AFFECTED A NUMBER OF JEEPS SINCE AT LEAST 2014. I'M AT A LOSS AS TO WHY THIS IS BEING TREATED LIKE A COSMETIC REPAIR WHEN THIS COMPONENT IS CRITICAL TO THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN A RECURRENT ISSUE FOR OVER FIVE YEARS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW THIS ISSUE IS BEING ADDRESSED BY JEEP'BOTH IN TERMS OF COVERING THESE REPAIRS AND CORRECTING THE UNDERLYING ISSUES THAT ARE CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

DEVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR DIES AND WILL NOT RESTART. WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT.

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP THE SCREEN LIGHTS UP AND FLASHES SERVICE SHIFTER, IT THEN LIGHTS UP THE WHOLE PANEL PRND IN RED AND MAKES IT HARD TO STEER ONE I STOP AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IT GOES AWAY BUT WILL POP UP RANDOMLY

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TODAY(SEPT 19,2020), THE CAR BEEPED GIVING ME A WARNING ON THE SCREEN TO SERVICE SHIFTER, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE CONSOLE LIT UP RED. I PULLED THE CAR OVER, SHUT.IT OFF FOR 30 MIN. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP THE WARNING WENT OFF SO FAR BUT HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT AGAIN YET.

THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING COMES UP ON THE SCREEN SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST TURNED ON AND OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT DO THE DEALER AND THEY SCANNED CODES AND THE CODE FOR A PROBLEM DETECTED WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE CAME UP. THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER REPLACED THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THAT PART. THIS WAS DONE JULY 19, 2019. WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING AGAIN; SO NOW THE PART AND WIRING HARNESS NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN.

THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL CAME ON, A SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR CODE. I HAD TO PULL OVER PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT RESET ITSELF. IN FEBRUARY 2019, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THEY FIXED THE ISSUE . THE PARTS WERE WARRANTIED FOR 2 YEARS OR 24,000 MILES ACCORDING TO WESTGATE JEEP IN RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA. A WEEK OR LATER THE GEAR SHIFT ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN AND THEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AT WESTGATE IN RALEIGH.

RANDOM AND INCONSISTENT SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE. SOMETIMES DISAPPEARS FOR MONTHS(THOUSANDS OF MILES). HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN TOTAL. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. PURCHASED BRAND NEW. ALWAYS WHILE DRIVING. NEVER WHILE IN PARK. SHIFTER INDICATOR LIGHTS UP READ AND ERROR DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD.

MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE,S DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SAYING SHIFTER SERVICE ' THIS HAS HAPPENED 6WEEKS AGO AND NOW AGAIN.UPON STOPPING THE VEHICLE , SHUTTING IT OFF AND THEN RESTARTING THE WARNING GOES AWAY . AFTER READING ALL THE PROBLEMS JEEP IS HAVING THEIR SEEMS TO BE NO SOLUTION BUT DEALERS GUESS WORK AND LITTLE RESULTS

SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING COMES ON ON THE DASH AND ALL OF THE RED LIGHTS FOR THE PARK REVERSE NEUTRAL AND DRIVE ALL COME ON ON THE SHIFT COLUMN. AFTER PULLING OVER AND SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON EVERYTHING RESETS ONLY TO DO IT AGAIN RANDOMLY FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD .

I HAVE HAD MY CAR ALMOST THREE YEARS, I HAVE 31,800 MILES ON IT. I'M GETTING "SERVICE SHIFTER" ERROR PERIODICALLY WHEN STARTING MY CAR. I TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT GOES OFF. IT'S HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 7 DAYS. I'VE READ A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. JEEP SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN TURNING ON MY CAR. I READ THAT SOMEONE'S MECHANIC SAID IT CAN LEAVE YOU STRANDED AND IS DANGEROUS IF IT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AS YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THIS HA HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST 7 DAYS.

I KEEP GETTING A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ON DASH AFTER DRIVING 30 SOME MILES. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT GOES AWAY. I WILL ALSO GET A NO STOP START AVAILABLE EVERY OTHER TIME I START MY CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC BUT HE CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING IN THE CAR LOG ABOUT THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IT SEEMS THERE WAS NO REAL SOLUTION.

THIS FIRST STARTED BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2019 TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE 'SERVICE SHIFT' LIGHT CAME ON. FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK AIR BAGS. I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, AND IT WAS GONE.THEN ABOUT A WEEK LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED - THEN A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO HAPPEND WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY.

2017 JEEP CHEROKEE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' WARNING LIGHT APPEARED WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION APPROX (50 MPH). ALL GEARS LIT UP WITH A RED LIGHT. IT STARTLED ME SO I PULLED OVER TO LOOK IT UP & SEE IF I'M IN IMMEDIATE DANGER

SEVERAL TIMES NOW (7-9), MESSAGE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' APPEARS. AT SAME TIME ALL RED DOTS ALONG SIDE THE SHIFTER ILLUMINATE (RED). WHILE TO MESSAGE IS VISIBLE THE CRUISE CONTROL IS DISABLED. TURNING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IN MOST CASES ELIMINATED THE MESSAGE, RED DOTS NOT ILLUMINATE AND CRUISE CONTROL REGAINED FUNCTIONALITY. HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WHILE THE MESSAGE WAS IN VIEW. THESE EVENTS ALWAYS HAPPENED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION, HAS NOT HAD UPON INITIAL STARTUP.
