Transmission issues with my 2015 Jeep Cherokee

[@deloriameadows77]

Yes im having them with this 2014 i got in july

[@LifeofLou4u]

Currently experiencing the same exact thing ! First time for me . I’m on 119k miles . Shifting issues , jolting when I press the gas. I got it at 65k miles . I got it checked by a mechanic and they said nothing was wrong . That was two days ago and I haven’t seen the light pop up since . However my car is still lagging !

[@kodaburr7100]

I did a muffler delete and added a black widow exhaust and deleted my resonator and it seemed to help. But doesn't completely fix what you also described. 2019 lattitude plus at 84k

[@ntxmike3705]

I was "lucky" and my transmission had issues with < 1000 miles... the dealer replaced it with a new transmission from the factory. I now have 108,000 miles and have not had any issues since. I had the same issue with the transmission going into safe mode to prevent further damage. I was driving from Big Bend in the middle of nowhere Texas to Dallas and had to keep stopping and restarting the car when it went into safe mode.

[@yeimyzaragoza3403]

I have a 2015 Cherokee sport and i needed a new transmission at almost 75k miles! At 40k miles i needed to replace all motor mounts 🤦🏻‍♀️ …. Jerks when i try to accelerate, always vibrates when on idle… list goes on

[@jaylenegarcia803]

Exact same thing with mine 😩

[@johnr.timmers2297]

This is called transmission slip. A damaged transmission can have trouble switching gears, and if you get stuck at a low gear while trying to go faster it cases the rpm to stay really high, which in turn causes the transmission to overheat. I'd say either the 85,000 miles from the previous owner were really rough, driving like a racecar, (likely) or your 7000 miles were SUPER intense which is also possible since the rpm was likely really high from the start and you didn't notice till it flashed at you.

I have had issues with my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude since I got it with 50,000 miles on it last February. I had an interlock (blow and go) installed the day after I got it, and noticed that anytime I stopped at a light or a stop sign, when I went to pull out, it had no power. Like it was trying to go but it was like it stalled. I took it back to the dealership 2 times and they blamed it the interlock. So had it taken out in January, the vehicle now has 85,000 miles and still doing the same.... stop, go to pull out and nothing rpms go up, but vehicle not moving... it's trying but nothing... then when it does decide to go it jerks..

[@thaddeusmitchell390]

Yes. Had the same issue today. 2015 Jeep Cherokee limited ..Same issue

[@ejohnson3837]

Have the trans fluid replaced at 50k intervals if you plan on keeping it.

[@sibinhassan143]

You still drive it? How u manage to fix it?

[@pedro75392]

The transmission plug is a 14 mm in socket hex bit and with Allen key a 8 ..

[@derrickmiller3562]

If you have a bad wheel speed sensor, it can make your trans shift differently. Any error codes?

[@Tom-k5y]

There is a transmission software update for the computer for the transmission in that jeep

[@LOUIE-jc2oh]

My service transmission light came I noticed a leak in the back Thoughts?

[@b-mayrand]

I have a 2016 jeep Cherokee with a 3.2 L V6 nine speed automatic transmission. My issue it tends to slip when you going from a high revved lower gear into a coast or deceleration situation.

[@Star_Gaze_2015]

I have the very same model as your, and I recently started experiencing this issue, I haven’t complained to the dealership yet though, have you been able to sort it out? If yes please share with me what you did. Thank you.

[@duecourier160]

I have a 2015...no issues yet at 170000km...but I did have a 2012 Nissan Rogue of transmission problems...basically the cvt transmission can't handle high speed for long periods of time...the oil gets hot and transmission starts slipping. At that point you've burned your oil lost its velocity. I was able to put on 200000km on that transmission by changing the oil every 30000km...but i just found out this Cherokee has no dip stick...so that really sucks

[@katieelizabethphotography1932]

So what did you do to fix it

[@markhug5871]

Temperature censor went bad causes limp mode. Same thing happens on the 2009 Jeep Patriot

[@luisduarte9813]

Issue with shifter. I replaced the whole shifter but did not update any modules, etc. that they wanted me too. One year later still driving. Engine light, transmission light on and off. And just keep driving it. 120k miles now

[@pedro75392]

Might have check transmission or change fuel pump every 100,000 miles fuel filter is inside fuel pump

[@ejohnson3837]

Take it to a trans shop and at least have the trans fluid level checked. Trans fluid needs to be replaced at intervals of 50k miles if you plan on keeping it for a long time.

[@robsim4692]

So you're saying transmission fluid needs to be replaced at 50k and any sign of an issue your answer is change fluid? Wonder if anyone has changed fluid when having issues and trans never work again, good question is t it?

[@ejohnson3837]

@@robsim4692 trans fluid is not like Blood. It does not replenish itself on its own. It breaks down from heat, it is simply hydraulic fluid for a transmission.

[@JDwalton1973]

These are sealed transmissions; you can't check or change the fluid on them. They generally cannot be repaired either as far as I know. If it fails, or begins having issues, you are looking at replacement.

[@ejohnson3837]

@@JDwalton1973 Bullshit. I have already changed the fluid in my 2019 Cherokee Latitude, myself. Drain and refill. Takes about 4 1/2 quarts of 8-9 speed fluid.

[@victoracosta984]

what had?

[@rmruman119]

Carry on 🔥

[@coryskow978]

I own a 2015 and 2016 Jeep Cherokee. Regarding the 2015 Cherokee: The transmission is known to have issues such as not advancing in gears, and harsh/jerky shift changes. If you are experiencing transmission issues with a 2015 Jeep Cherokee, bring I into the dealership and have the computer reprogramed. I have had 2, 2015 Cherokees, the first got rear ended and totaled. However, I had to get both vehicles computers updated to make the transmission right.

[@jachoreefer]

@@coryskow978 I’m having a similar problem just the shifting is slow and no over heat, can you tell me how much was to have the computer reprogrammed? Thank you

[@leewhite2549]

Mines does it only when I’m driving slow but sometimes

[@kathyhatfield4208]

My 2015 Latitude does the same thing at slow speed (sometimes). I don't know what it is..yet. I just bought it in January 2024.

[@jachoreefer]

Hey hope you were able to fix it, if you did what was it ?

[@spencer.kissack.the.author]

I think Anton Yelchin, the Star Trek actor, died bc of something related to this issue. His vehicle slipped 'park', rolled back & crushed him on his own driveway

[@flacko6912]

Bought this car 2014 latitude and within a week first time going for a ride the steering wheel is locked I can’t drive it, the dealer sold me this with a messed up valve, says the vehicle is hot yet I haven’t been driving it plus the display says cold. Back to the deadlier I go 😡🤬

[@MichaelSchinella]

The differentials go bad on this vehicle causing your transmission to malfunction

[@davebrow3194]

These 9 speed transmissions from 2014-2016 are known to do this, just bought a "16" yesterday now I'm seeing this crap bought it at a dealer though who will replace for the next 6 years hope it's not a lemon.

[@Truthh4040]

My Cherokee 2014 got 168k kms on it and now just got new message comes with with check engine sign but it says check transmission this only Halle when I drive to a further distance or longer time ? Not sure what that means

[@leewhite2549]

It has happened to me but also with my car you know how when you come to a complete stop your car shuts off and it shuts back on when mines dead that my whole dashboard went black and then it came back on but my start to stop doesn’t come on anymore so I took it to O’Reilly‘s and they put the reader thing in and they said it is the transmission control module so maybe that’s the same thing with yours

Did you find out what the problem was ? I have similar issues after driving it for about 20miles car automatically loses power it slowes down and it shows transmission service on the dash I changed the transmission fluid but still happens i dont know what to do

[@JustinDotysLife]

i did , ut was a recall that actually fixed the problem if i was you i would check to see if you have one

[@ScionTc]

@@JustinDotysLife Did you had to deal with the dealer alot to fix this or they agreed to fix it ? I got a feeling this people from the dealer wont fix mines they only want to make money of you.

[@JustinDotysLife]

@@ScionTc if its a recall they have no choice but to fix it at no charge to you

[@ScionTc]

How did you find out about the recall ? To tell dealer. Because my issue is similar to yours

We have a 2014 Trailhawk, 2nd owners, with 127k. Transmission replaced at 95k. Just had a grinding noise start out of nowhere. Our local mechanic shop says it's the PTU. Taking it to Jeep dealership next week. PTU is a hard-to-find unit and costs $3000+ for repair/install. Apparently, this iteration of Cherokee (2014-2017) is/was prone to failures of drivetrain. 😡
