Known issues on the 2016 Cherokee. Seven recalls are on federal record for this model year: an automatic transmission that can lose drive power (crash risk) or its park function, a driveline-differential loss of drive that can cause a crash without prior warning, two axle-shaft faults where a fractured halfshaft can disconnect from the drive axle and increase the risk of a crash, two rear-compartment/trunk wiring faults that can cause a fire, and loose seat fasteners that can let the seats move and injure occupants. Owners have filed 2,033 complaints and Jeep has issued 270 technical service bulletins for the year.

From routine maintenance to a difficult, hard-to-trace fault, it keeps you on the correct factory procedure and specification for your specific 2016 Cherokee.
