Transmission issues at 44k miles

I bought a 2016 jeep Cherokee with 34k miles on it, and my 40k the ignition coil had gone out, and was causing misfires on a cylinder. At 44k miles the Power Transfer Unit, rear differential, and a half shaft had all gone bad. I do not advise buying one of these, as you will not be able to trust it as far as you can throw it.

Purchase brand new, 2016 Cherokee Lattitude, black on black trim, V6 3.2L engine. 4 visits to dealership for software, mechanical, etc. issues in ONE year!! Of course the dealer will document each issue differently, a tactic to avoid the Lemon Law, 3 consecutive problems result in a full refund. I have never been so disappointed with a purchase. If you don't want to deal with constant headaches and aggravation please avoid getting this vehicle, Very disappointed JEEP!!!!!

I've had too many issues since buying my 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport 11 months ago! It leaks on the back floor on the passenger side every time it rains. I now have water and mold because I live in Florida where its hot! It's stalled on me twice when leaving the parking lot! There is a clicking noise in the front when I turn the wheel. The gas pedal has a wobble when I'm stopped and then accelerate to take off, but it doesn't happen every time. Scary! When I Googled it, it has something to do with the transmission needs to be tightened. Oh! and my tires keep losing air! Constantly putting air in the tires! I've taken it to the dealership to see if they can make me a happy camper again. I have my doubts. I feel like I bought a Lemon!!! I will update again if they resolve all the issues!

The Cherokee is not for everyone but if you want real off road capability and towing (4500#)capacity this is the only choice, albeit an expensive one.
