While driving onto the interstate I was accelerating on the on-ramp when the vehicle suddenly lost the ability to shift gears, while every service indicator light on the dash came on. I pulled over to check on the vehicle. I did restart and it seemed ok. Once starting to get back onto the interstate it stopped shifting gears at 3rd gear, and would also not downshift. This was an issue as I could only reach a speed of about 35-40 MPH. This continued for hours while getting to my destination. At certain points it would not shift out of first gear. This was not a safe environment to be in. I called the dealer and took it for servicing. Dealer stated the oil cooler stopped working, and in doing so leaked oil all throughout the engine. I ended up replacing the thermostat, radiator, and the oil cooler due to the issue. The Jeep was in the shop for 15 days while they were replacing parts and trying to flush out the oil in areas there shouldn’t be any oil. They told me I would always have a slim amount of oil in engine due to not being able to flush completely. $5000 later, everything seems to be ok now.

P306 engine light error-Cylinder #6 misfire. This has occurred twice in 20 months. The first repair was 10/6/2021 , mileage 49105. This same error code is now activated (7/22/2023)and my mechanic has indicated the same repair will likely be required. Service appointment is scheduled. Current mileage is ~62000. When this misfire occurs the start/stop system is deactivated, drivability can be impacted, fuel leakage and if unrepaired, significant engine damage could occur.

Service shifter lights up and I have had to replace it multiple times at the dealership since 10k miles. I now have almost 90k and have had this issue at least 6 times. I am annoyed and this is a major safety issue. There is a thread online WITH THOUSANDS of people reporting this issue for Jeep Cherokee. Does someone have to die first for this to be taken seriously?

Second time dealing with misfire on #6 cylinder. Coil failed causing sparkplug to be comprised.

Knocking could lead to engine freeze. Caused by faulty rocker in engine.

Oil cooler cracked Dec 2022. Oil cooler cracked again Nov 2023. I heard this is an ongoing issue and should be a recall with people having to replace it every single year! Could become a safety issue as it blows spoke all over the place.

Oil cooler housing is leaking. As such will not pass state inspection as it's a hazard to burn therefore a safety issue. I noticed online that there is a class action suit pending and the Jeep is aware of this problem but yet it is not been recalled. It's going to cost me $900 to fix

We own a 2015 Jeep Cherokee 2.4 L FWD vehicle. In the last 3 months, we have encountered ignition issues. We had several misfires when attempting to start the engine. We brought this to the attention of our local auto mechanic, and they were unsure of the cause. We spent over $1500 on inspections and repairs which included spark plug replacement, throttle body replacement, knock sensor replacement, ignition coils replacement and putting in a new battery. We have been to the auto shop several times because the check engine lights keeps coming on and the bills keep adding up. We now received a letter regarding the fact that our vehicle has a recall for catalyst efficiency. According to the notice there may be a loss of catalyst CO/NOx conversion efficiency resulting from the catalyst operating at high temperatures. When the catalyst temperature is elevated, there is a higher rate of misfire, and the misfire can cause immediate damage to the catalyst since it brings unburned fuel and oxygen into the catalyst. I am confident that this loss in conversion efficiency is the reason the ignition misfires in my Jeep. I have receipts and bills to prove that I have spent over $1500 in the last month on engine repairs that still haven't solved the problem. I have contacted a local JEEP service shop who has ordered the part needed for this recall. How do I receive compensation for the money I have already paid for the repairs related to this recall?

Engine Oil Filter/Oil housing is malfunctioned or defected for my model car. Malfunction is causing leakage into the engine which can result explosion or worst damage to vehicle.

Sounds like a backfire. Happened 3 times in 2 days. Engine was replaced 2-20-2020@ 55,029 mi. Currently has 67713 mi

I was about half a mile from my job when I lost most of my engine power (my daily commute is about 9 min each way - 3 miles and a speed limit of 40). I was accelerating uphill from a red light and I reached about 15 miles an hour before I realized I did not have the power to get more speed. I pulled in and noticed white smoke billowing from my car but did not ever see a check engine light. I had a few coworkers come outside to take a look . There was still heavy white smoke. I got it towed to the garage we take our fleet trucks. My piston rings were compromised (is the theory) and it lead to a multitude of problems even though I stopped driving it within half a mile of noticing anything irregular about my car.

Crack block in Engine mileage 63k.

While driving, vehicle shuts off or engine dies without a warning. I have to wait about 30 seconds until it starts again. Very dangerous.

While I am driving and the kuds in car, the car completely power off calling into park before switching on. I was in a big big trouble. I checked online and found that cars 2014-2017 had a call for PTU that causes the same horrible situation that I was in. It was a nightmare. I used my car that never face any problem where I take of it and use it usually for serving my kids driving them to their school and activities. I face the problem 3 times yesterday 2 timed and thanks God while I was on the traffic light but to day is horrible while on the road.
