Description of the problem | I have had all kinds of electrical issues with my 2015 cherokee trailhawk 4x4 and this all happened after they did 4 upgrades on my computer at dealership, when picked up suv the check engine was on, took back to dealer and they said they flashed it what ever that means. The check engine disappeared afterwards, i have had issues with it lunging when letting foot off brake due to the auto on & off feature and just recently was driving and the air bad light, traction light, 4 wheel drive and check engine light came on i pulled over due to this and when putting in park felt like someone rear ended me in which they didnt, the 4 wheel drive light comes on with message that four wheel drive has been disabled contact dealer, that started it all that morning. Then all the other lights illuminated and beeping, i took to dealer in richmond ky and they brought out the scanner and scanned it and printed off several things that was coming up then advised me they couldn't do anything to check vehicle for 2 weeks i then called lexington dealer and they said bring it in, i had it towed to lexington dealer, now they say they cant get it to duplicate anything. Well now this is the issue i have intermittent electrical issues that deems this vehicle unsafe to drive because it is can shut down as others has said or catch fire or accelerate on its own etc. There is definitely issues with this vehicle that no one can explain. I have ask dealership to contact jeep mfg/chrysler to see about what they say its very scary having a vehicle that you cant trust to be safe in. Its already had me rear end a car by the lunging after you let off brake now this... I just feel unsafe in my new vehicle.... I purchased this vehicle to to be a safe one. And its definitely not safe due to being intermittent electrical issues. Dealers doesn't have a clue about the electrical malfunctions of these cars. |
