    My jeep started with an error 'service shifter' on the control panel shortly after that all the codes started popping up. Steering wheel, tire pressure, etc. I took it to the dealership they have replaced the body control module but unfortunately the codes have not cleared. I've had this vehicle for only two years the service department at the dealership can not pinpoint the problem on it.

    Vehicle experiences random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination, loss of speed display, and loss of abs and esc system functions. Sometimes vehicle shifts into 3rd gear, and does not respond to shift commands. This occurs randomly, sometimes right after start-up, sometimes after a few minutes of driving.

    There is a recall on esc module for 2014 cherokees built in 2013. My jeep meets this criteria and my esc light is on. When i contact jeep they say this is not a recall for my vehicle.

This is unacceptable as it is a known recall on like vehicles. Nothing…

    Recall on jeep alternator and brake booster water shield. My complaint is the length of time in getting the parts. The alternator went out and it has been sitting at the dealership for 11 days now and parts are still not released from chrysler. They will not give me a rental. What is a person to do? Except pay 800$ and then fight chrysler to get my money back.

Since attempting to install this update, sometimes these things don't happen at all, or have a…

    My vehicle is experiencing the exact problem addressed in nhtsa reference #14v636000. I was not notified of this recall because my vehicle was manufactured in 07/13 which is outside of the recall period. I believe that my vehicle should be included in this recall. It comes on suddenly and is dangerous to drive.
