SERV 4WD message on Dashboard 
Solved
Jeep Cherokee 2019 70000 miles
This message appeared out of nowhere on my dashboard. And it stayed on for 99% of the time that the vehicle was on. Also, the traction control light was on and there was no way for me to turn it off.

CommentCar kept shutting off Solved
Jeep Cherokee 2017 78000 miles
My car kept shutting off about 3 minutes after leaving my house, for several weeks. Literally at the same spot every time. After it turned off, I placed it in park, turned it back on and drove to work with no issues. I had several lights light up, at one point my car wouldn’t pick up speed and would jerk like it wanted to go but didn’t. Got a diagnostic check they said nothing registered, i informed them my shifter had been lighting up and needed the wiring replaced, so they did that.

I have a 2016 and mine recently started throwing me the servoce 4wd message too. Also my left front turn signal keeps working off and on and we have replaced the bulb twice. I'm wondering if it isn't something electrical. I need to make an appt to get it checked out. Have you had it looked at?
Mine goes on and off randomly, but actually disengaged the 4 wheel drive system during winter. Turned it off then back on, was fine until next time.

Still nothing for me. It hasn't started yet. Did you figure yours out?
Same issue with 2001 Cherokee. New starter, battery, NSS, and checked all the wiring.
CommentTransmission?
Jeep Cherokee 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 126210 miles
Already planned on dropping the transmission pan and replacing the filter and doing a fluid flush. Now all of a sudden gears hesitate before shifting, and there’s a clicking sound that gets louder and faster when accelerating.

CommentService Shifter
Jeep Cherokee 2017 Sport 4x4 240000 miles
Service shifter appears whenever shifted out of park
4 reports
I had to replace my whole shifter maybe about 3.5 years ago and the light just recently came back on but it goes on and off and it will sometimes goes days without coming on. Cost me about 2300 to replace sure hope that’s not what I have to do again. I saw that there is a wire you can get to try and replace but if that doesn’t work than you have to replace the full shifter
CommentService park break
Jeep Cherokee 2015 4 cylinder 134568 miles
I shifted into drive and I heard a thump when as I changed gears it got stuck on N neutral and wouldn't shift into any other gear unless I force it so turn off vehicle key fob stayed on ACC .popped open hood and disconnected battery for a minute reconnected battery and was able to shift to park. I tried a second time ti shift into reverse and same issue my dash says service park break nothing about transmission issues there's a yellow sign on with a P! In a circle if I need to change park brake we're is it located or how do I replace or adjust it?
