2017 Jeep Cherokee ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My car shuts off when I go over little bumps and light comes on saying press break and shift into park. Then it doesnt start right away but eventually starts again. Also when I go over little bumps my interior lights turn on.

Service shifter alert

There are 3 things: sometimes when I go to start my jeep, it will start and cut off. Secondly: my rear back up camera keeps going in and out. I’ve had it replaced and it still goes out. Especially if it rains. Lastly, my “service shifter” light pops up randomly while I am driving and all of the lights on the gear shift will light up. It will not let me upload my videos of the screen

Issue: Persistent “Service Shifter” Warning on 2017 Jeep Cherokee I own a 2017 Jeep Cherokee, and the “Service Shifter” warning continues to appear even after replacing both the wiring harness and bezel. Despite these repairs, the issue persists, creating safety concerns and frustration. This appears to be a recurring problem for many Jeep owners, yet no permanent fix has been provided. I am seeking further assistance or a long-term solution to resolve this issue. Jeep should address this defect to ensure customer safety and satisfaction.

Every so often when putting vehicle in park while running or at start up I get a dash message “service shifter” and all the gear lights light up and I’m unable to shift out of park. The dealership mechanic has now looked at it three times replacing the shifting bezel, wiring harness, and shift box. The issues still happens almost daily.

Service shifter light displays randomly with PRND all light up. Goes away if you turn the car off remove key and restart. Have taken it to a technician in the past, they said they couldn't tell us anything.

This past year my 2017 Jeep Cherokee has started to randomly turn on the Service Shifter light and at the same time all the shifter lights turn red. The transmission starts acting differently as well when it comes on. If I pull over and shut the car off and then turn it back on it will be normal again. I cannot bring this into the dealership as my warranty is no longer available and I will not pay loads of money for them to tell me nothing.

Service shifter light keeps going on after having shifter replaced 1 year ago

My service shifter light stays on almost all the time. The gears PRND are all red lights.

At random times, the vehicle will notify of a "Service Shifter" message that pops up on screen. The lights that indicate which gear the car is in all light up-park, neutral, drive, etc. Every light turns on and the notification shows up on the screen where speedometer is located. This is concerning-it has happened multiple times, if I turn the car off and back on, the notification goes away. However, it always comes back a few hundred miles later. I drive a 2017 Jeep Cherokee, and bought it in 2019 with only 16,000 miles on it. The notification first came up when I hit 20,000 miles and has persisted ever since periodically. If you search "Jeep Cherokee service shifter" you can find NUMEROUS forums where people have reported the same issues. It is clearly an issue that needs to be looked into further. I have already filed a safety problem before, and nothing was done about it. I recommend looking into this issue further, and googling the issue as well-there are far too many people reporting the same problem and there has been no recall to be issued.

Service shifter warning comes on multiple times while driving

As I was driving all the lights on my [XXX] gear lit up. On my dashboard, it said service shifter. Well, I continued driving. My truck started to slow down a D kept flashing on my dashboard. I had to pull over to the side as the truck was coming to a complete stop. I turned off the ignition waited a few minutes. Turn my truck back on and I was back on the road. I’ve heard lots of complaints in regards to the shifter, but there’s no recall for this. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have a 2017 Jeep Cherokee and been experiencing service shifter error when all the lights on gear shift lights up in red and this time I was at home and it also flashed oil change on dash board which I just had a recent oil change and this has been an issue off and on and dealership says there is no recall but they have heard of this issue. Not feeling safe to drive vehicle unsure if my car will stop while out. I have an appointment with dealership to see what the issue is. I only have about 72,000 miles on my vehicle.

Our 2017 Cherokee 46k displays “service shifter” and all lights on the shifter go red. The first time this happened (summer 2020) the dealership Hopkins, MN told me not to drive the vehicle and to bring in for service. They were not aware of this issue which I don't believe now. The appointment was 4 weeks out and once the dealership looked at vehicle as lights were off they could not diagnose. 2nd time this happened was not able to get into dealership that day. 3rd time this happened (7/22/2022) I immediately called the dealership on issue and they refused to look at vehicle the same day and told me to bring in on Monday 7/25/2022. Next day the lights did not come on. each time I call the Jeep dealership they give me a different response. Don't know if its safe to drive the vehicle in this state. There should be a recall on this issue.

My service shifter will lock up and the gear shift will read that my car is in park, reverse, neutral, drive all at the same time. My dash will read “service shifter” however it has been doing that since I purchased it. The wheels on the car will jerk and lock up. Luckily, I am not going fast and can safely pull over. The car will sputter and act like it is struggling to go. I have had everything checked and all other recalls fixed. When I mentioned it to the service department, they said they could replace the part but it doesn’t guarantee that it will fix the issue. He gave me a quote to fix it and said the part is on back order or may be recalled soon. If it isn’t in the process it needs to be before it takes someone’s life. When I have checked social media it appears that multiple people are having the same issue.

SERVICE SHIFTER. The Shift Bezel keeps going out. I reading that is happening to a lot of other people only had this car 2 months. The gear shifter Bezel lights up all red and service shifter shows up on the dashboard.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL ROAD, THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER BEZEL ALL GLOWED RED. I STOPPED THE CAR, SHIFT IT OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND ALL SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. WHILE THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE WAS SHOWING, ALL OTHER INFORMATION IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS HIDDEN WHICH FELT UNSAFE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS ISSUE IS AFFECTING MANY AS THEY ARE REPORTING THE SAME OCCURRENCE I EXPERIENCED AND I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF JEEP TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. *CC *TR

A "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD RANDOMLY WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE STREET AND THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS TURN ON ON THE SHIFTER. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT GOES AWAY BUT IT COMES BACK ON LATER AGAIN.

PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING, A "SERVICE SHIFTER" NOTIFICATION WILL TURN ON AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER INDICATING GEARS WILL LIGHT UP. IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THIS NOTIFICATION WILL DISAPPEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 6+ TIMES RANDOMLY OVER THE PAST YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME FALSE NOTIFICATION. THE UNRELIABILITY OF THIS NOTIFICATION IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS MORNING THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WIRES IN THE GEARSHIFT AND A PLASTIC PIECE HAVE TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED AT 38,103 MILES IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY ANYMORE, HAD IT HAPPENED UNDER 36,000 MILES IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR DASH WILL POP UP AND SAY 'SHIFTER SERVICE REQUIRED'. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER LIGHT UP.

MY SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE HAS BEEN STAYING ON. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED GIVING THE MESSAGE IT WOULD GO OFF WHEN I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND I WOULDN'T GET THE MESSAGE AGAIN FOR A WHILE BUT NOW IT IS STAYING ON. I'VE ALSO BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING REALLY HARD SOMETIMES BUT ONLY WHEN I GET THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE.
