2015 Jeep Cherokee problems

“SVC 4 WD Warning Light always on. Several diagnostics bring me to the PTU needing replaced. I am told by the dealer that the part alone is upwards of $2500 and is a severe warning that the vehicle will just stop functioning and place a whole lot of vehicles and passengers in an unsafe situation. I am now afraid of the vehicle and am not even finding a recall for this issue that is affecting many, many vehicles of this model.”

“I have a complaint concerning the 3.2L V6 Pentastar engine. A repair was necessary for a manufacturer KNOWN fault concerning factory installation using improperly hardened steel for the Rocker arms/lifters needle bearings, AKA, “The Pentastar Tick”. Rocker arms collapse and cause gouging/scoring damage to the intake camshafts. I had to pay for repairs totaling $5091.05 for this manufacturer’s known and acknowledged, factory mistake. -Copy of final invoice attached.. I have tried to get help from Jeep/Stellantis and assistance to make these expensive repairs. I was told no assistance was possible even though the factory recognized the steel used for the needle bearings that held the rocker arm did not meet strength requirements. Chrysler/Stellantis upgraded needle bearings using properly hardened steel to resolve their factory installation error. I believe Chrysler/Stellantis owes me compensation for costs associated with this repair.”

“Online is saying there is 0 recalls after a year of having the vehicle a recall was sent by mail. I got it fixed by jeep van nuys, the engine and the other equipment attached looks unsafe and it is completely overheating”

“Issues started in 2025 when the emergency brake system started engaging by itself. I was at a stop light when it happened the first time. Then it happened again in our driveway and we ended up having to unplug the battery to get it to turn off. Then on 09.14.2026 I was at a customers home and I put it in park got out and when I got back in to drive off I got the ((P)) light along with the warning to get it serviced. Please see pictures. This popped up on all occasions. I ended up having to tow the jeep to my mechanic. Please see pictures of the module. Water under my spare tire and corrosion on the part.”

“Check engine light on 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport turned on, vehicle "went limp". Pulled over, turned car off, waited, turned car back on. Happened again taking car to dealership. The dealership said "code for trans range sensor p1726. reset trans and test drove. code did not come back". Same thing happened again a week later. Took it to Firestone, code was "TCM P1726-00 Transmission Manage Sensor "C" circuit High. They said it sounded like the Recall Number 16V529000/S55. I took it back to the dealership, they said the recall, despite being for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee didn't apply and noted "Same code P1726 set in TCM. Going to need range sensor and TCM replaced."”

“I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding my 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The automatic rear liftgate opens normally but then suddenly drops and slams shut without warning or beeping. This has become a serious safety issue. The liftgate has actually closed on me, trapping me and preventing me from getting out. I am extremely concerned that this could cause serious injuries to myself or someone else. I believe this is an unacceptable safety hazard, and I am requesting that Jeep investigate the problem, determine whether any recalls or known defects apply, and provide assistance with the necessary repairs.”
