2017 Jeep Cherokee Steering Problems

My Jeep Cherokee(VIN [XXX] ) was being flat towed behind a class a motorhome. On 4 separate occasions the front wheels of the jeep started bucking right to left and back to opposite side causing the whole motorhome to violently vibrate. 1) The first time it happened was at about 15 MPH while turning left onto a connecting road.

While driving at approximately 50 MPH, the vehicles steering wheel locked, all lights on the dash came on and the car shut completely off. My daughter was able to slowly pump the breaks to stop because there was no traffic but had there been she could have been in a serious accident since the car completely shut down. This is a huge safety concern.

My jeep has less than 30,000 miles on it and I keep up to date on oil changes (every 500 miles); however, when the 5,000 mile marker starts approaching I will be in driving in a forward motion and the dashboard will light up saying "shift to neutral or park", the gas pedal tightens up to the point I am no longer able to step on it anymore, and the steering wheel tightens up and I can no longer move that.

Car stalls without warning or indicator lights and will not restart in a safe manner. There are dozens of reports concerning this situation online and it is a SERIOUS safety issue that has received no attention. There is apparently and “incomplete” notice from JEEP that has failed to reach all customers.

Service shifter warning. Car stalled twice. It has 45 k miles only.

While driving the Service Shifter prompt came on and all the lights on the gear box turned red. The safety risk when this prompt came on is huge as you are driving and trying not to panic as you don't know if the car will stall or stop suddenly. MANY other people with Jeeps have experienced this problem.

Jeep will stall while driving. Engine will shut off, lose power steering, cannot accelerate to try to get out of harms way, battery, oil and engine light will come on and receive a message saying to "shift to park or neutral to start the vehicle". If you want a couple minutes the jeep struggle to turnover but eventually will.

My service shifter light has came up 3 separate times. The last time it came on, my jeep took itself from drive to park while I was in motion, locking up my tires and steering wheel. I could not get my park back into drive, and it caused me to slide off the road.

My 2017 jeep cherokee with little under 45,000 stalled this morning on my way to work. The car lost steering/braking control. The battery light came on and stated I needed to shift to park then to desired gear.

I was driving and the following happened: jeep completely died while driving, battery light illuminated & the screen displayed "place in p, then select gear", I attempted it but I had no power, no ability to steer or brake. I was also broken down in on coming traffic and wasn't able to move. I had to put in neutral and push my jeep out of the middle of the hwy.

On two occasions while flat towing the jeep behind our rv the front end wobbled excessively and only stopped when we slowed to almost a stop. Both instances happened within 15 minutes of starting to travel in the morning and happened in construction zones where the pavement was rough. We had heard of this issue so we had the dealer install the mopar sterring harness when we bought the car.

Vehicle has a known safety Bulletin out from Stellantis for the PTU but this model does not fall under it. I am having issues with the PtU and concerns with safety of driving and others. Will need repaired.

I believe the PTU is malfunctioning and causing the transmission to slip or jerk. I am experiencing uncontrolled movement while driving. The vehicle is available at any time for inspection upon request.

After the weekend rain, I went to start the 2017 Jeep Cherokee it did not start. I had the battery car jumped and it started up when driving it the steering wheel locked up. The dashboard started to display antilock brake assist off system, power steering assist off system, service transmission restart in Park with vehicle 0 speed, and so many red lights started flashing afterwards. I was in the car with my children a car that was coming behind me had to swerve around me as my car instantly stopped. This could’ve been a horrific or fatal car accident. I just hit my car check to renew my plates the emissions pass and everything safety was good. With this current situation, I would now have to get my car back to the dealership for further inspection, and will be without a car.

I have not even owned my vehicle a year now. I have never had an issue with steering shaking or pulling. I went to get my tires rotated for the first time at a local dealer and they stated the all 4 of my tires had all irregular wear on them on the inside of the tires only.
