| Description of the problem | After a complete stop at a stop sign, "service transmission" message appeared on the speedometer, check engine light turned on, car was beeping all over the place, and could not accelerate after stepping on the gas pedal 3 times. I had to turn off the car and restart the car on the spot. After restarting the car, engine light stayed on and i was able to drive home. Prior to this incident the check engine light has been on and off for about a few months since i purchased the vehicle on november of 2013. Seems like other jeep cherokee owners are also experiencing similar problems if not more serious and fatal. Several complaints found on this forum (http://www. Aboutautomobile. Com/complaint/2014/jeep/cherokee/power+train) regarding the issue reported that their vehicles lost power on the highway. Other even had trouble with their gears. Also the car would accelerate a little more even the driver had let go of the gas. This is definitely a serious problem and needs to be addressed and investigated immediately before someone gets hurt or even killed. |
