TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING INDICATOR AND SEVERAL OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLINTON AUTO GROUP (2850 VALLEY WEST DRIVE, CLINTON, IA 52732) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ADVISED AS TO WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,175.
THE SHIFTER WENT OUT WITH LESS THAN 150 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE SHIFTER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE NEW SHIFTER DOESN'T STAY IN GEAR AND OFTEN SHIFTS VERY HARD. WHEN THE SHIFTER WENT OUT ORIGINALLY WE WERE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR DIED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF THE CAR AND START IT TO GET IT HOME. THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE AFTER WE GOT IT HOME AND TRIED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY PUT IN A NEW SENSOR BUT STILL HAVING ISSUES. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY DID A PROGRAM UPGRADE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND GAVE IT BACK. IT HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM.
I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN WHEN I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING "4WD UNAVAILABLE". I THEN HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND AND LOST POWER TO ALL THE WHEELS. AFTER PULLING OVER, I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. I PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND A CLUNKING SOUND PERSISTED. WHEN GIVING THE VEHICLE GAS, THE ENGINE REV'D BUT NO POWER WENT TO THE WHEELS. I THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP.
