Jeep Cherokee Transmission Problems
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee owners dealing with transmission troubles in
their brand new vehicles. The Jeep Grand
Cherokee transmission problem is strikingly similar to the issues we are seeing
with the Ford Focus and Fiesta vehicles.
In an effort to meet EPA standards, Chrysler modified the transmission,
changing a standard transmission into a manual unit.

SUMMARY:

OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION
SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE
DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE
MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE
FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,700.

SUMMARY:
I PURCHASED MY
NEW JEEP CHEROKEE ON 2/2/2014. FROM VERY SOON AFTER I BEGAN DRIVING IT, I WAS
AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN UNUSUALLY HIGH AMOUNT OF NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT
END WHEN THE CAR WAS GOING MORE THAN 30 MPH OR SO; IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CAR HAD
A PROPELLER. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY (I RESIDE
ABOUT 35 MILES AWAY). AT FIRST, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION NOISE, BUT
IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY DIAGNOSED AS A BAD WHEEL BEARING. AFTER A NEW BEARING WAS
SHIPPED OVERNIGHT FROM DETROIT, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BEARING ON THE OTHER
FRONT WHEEL WAS ALSO BAD AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I AM CONTACTING NHTSA
BECAUSE BAD BEARINGS ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS SUGGESTS TO ME THAT THERE IS MORE
THAN COINCIDENCE INVOLVED, AND THAT OTHER NEW CHEROKEES MIGHT BE SIMILARLY
AFFECTED IF A WHOLE PRODUCTION RUN OF DEFECTIVE BEARINGS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON
THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. I AM AWARE THAT BAD WHEEL BEARINGS, IF IGNORED, CAN
EVENTUALLY LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, BEARING SEIZURE, AND LOSS OF WHEELS
AND/OR VEHICLE CONTROL.

SUMMARY:
I WAS SLOWLY
ENTERING A PARKING SPACE. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ENGINE SPEED
INCREASED TO MAXIMUM RPM. I JAMMED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THREW THE TRANSMISSION
INTO "PARK." A GREAT CLOUD OF BLUE SMOKE ISSUED FORTH FROM THE
SPINNING TIRES. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND IT'S DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH
THE TRUCK AND NOT MY FOOT! SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AS A PEDESTRIAN, I SAW THE EXACT
SAME THING HAPPEN TO A JEEP CHEROKEE AT A STOP SIGN.

SUMMARY:
2014 JEEP
CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD VERY
SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONSUMER NOTICED SPOTS ON THE
DRIVEWAY, WHICH THEN PROGRESSED INTO A HORRIBLE WHINING AND GRINDING NOISE. THE
VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY AND THE CONSUMER DID NOT FEEL SHE HAD
CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER, AND
AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR A DAY, SHE WAS INFORMED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION
NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER, THAT PART OF THE TRANSMISSION
WAS POROUS, WHICH EXPLAINED THE STAINS ON THE DRIVEWAY IN MULTIPLE SPOTS. THE TRANSMISSION
WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

SUMMARY:
2005 JEEP
CHEROKEE. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE INCLUDING ELECTRICAL,
BRAKE SYSTEM ISSUES, BATTERY FAILURE, ALTERNATOR FAILURE, 3 BROKEN STEMS AND
REPETITIVE ISSUES WITH A TRANSMISSION FILTER *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION
PROBLEM WOULD OFTEN LEAVE HIM STRANDED. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD OFTEN CAUSE THE
VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGED.
THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS WHILE MAKING TURNS WHICH CAUSED THE
CONSUMER TO LOSE STEERING ABILITY. *JB

SUMMARY:
WE OWN A 2005
JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 2 YEARS OLD AND AT 35,000 MILES THE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS WAS
REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MY HUSBAND WAS KIND OF CONCERNED THAT THEY HAD THE
PART IN STOCK FOR A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE BUT WE HAD IT FIXED AND WENT ON. NOW
IT IS THREE YEARS LATER AT 89,000 MILES AND THE SAME PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
THEY WANT US TO PAY 750 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. WE FILED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND
THEY WANT US TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED FOR 89.00 AT THEIR DEALER AND THEN THEY WILL
DISCUSS WHETHER THEY WILL HELP PAY FOR IT OR NOT. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE
ON THE WEB THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. OUR CAR WILL LIGHT UP ALL THE GEARS
WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY DUE TO THE
ENGINE NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT GEAR WE ARE IN. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY
THAT THEY FIXED IT AND HELPED US THIS TIME BUT IN 2-3 YEARS WE HAVE TO DO THIS
ALL OVER AGAIN FOR THE SAME PART. THE GENTLEMAN MY HUSBAND FIRST TALKED TO AT
THE DEALER WE CONSULTED BEFORE TALKING WITH CHRYSLER STATED THAT HE HAS ALSO
REPLACED THIS SAME PIECE IN HIS CHRYSLER 300 TWICE. I HAVE ALSO SEEN ON THE CAR
FORUMS THAT THE JEEP COMMANDER IS DOING THE SAME THING AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS
COMPLAINTS OUT THERE ABOUT THE 05 JEEP CHEROKEE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY
CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO PUT THIS PART THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING IN THEIR
VEHICLES. THIS IS CAUSING ISSUES FOR THE CARS AND I AM NOT CONVINCED I WANT
ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. THE GEAR SHIFT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PARTS REPLACED. I
HAVE BEEN AROUND MANY VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I DO NOT
UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL OR SOMETHING HASN'T BEEN DONE ON THIS PARTICULAR PART.
WHY WOULD THEY NOT FIND A NEW WAY TO DO THIS TYPE OF GEAR SHIFT THAT DOESN'T
FALL APART IN TWO YEARS OF DRIVING. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A
RACE CAR OR EVEN A 4WD. I JUST WANT TO GET HELP IN CASE OTHERS ARE STILL
DEALING WITH THIS. *TR
