Jeep Cherokee Key Replacement By Model Year

Cherokee key styles vary by model year and trim. A year range can point to a likely key type, but we check your specific vehicle before starting. For other Jeep models, see our Jeep key replacement page.

About 1998–2001: Chip key

These Cherokee models use a key with a chip. Replacing one involves matching the key to the vehicle, not just copying its shape.

About 2014–2020: Keyed versions with a chip key

Some Cherokees in these years use a traditional keyed ignition with a chip key. Tell us the year and trim so we can check which setup yours has.

About 2014–2020: Push-to-start on many trims

Many trims in this period use push-to-start, which calls for a fob-style or smart key rather than a traditional ignition key. The trim matters when matching a replacement.

Newer models: Fob-style or push-to-start smart keys

Newer Cherokee models use fob-style keys or push-to-start smart keys. We check your vehicle’s year and trim to identify the applicable key type before replacement.

Bought a Used Jeep Cherokee With One Key?

Make a spare while you still have a working key. That gives you another option if the original is misplaced or stops working, instead of facing a lost-key situation later. When you call, share the Cherokee’s year and trim, and say whether your key starts in an ignition or works as a fob. Ask the seller whether the key you received is the only one they had; that detail helps distinguish a spare-key request from an all-keys-lost replacement. Car key replacement starts at $110, and the service call is $29. Parts and labor carry at least a six-month warranty.

Jeep Cherokee Key and Fob Problems to Watch For

A Cherokee key problem can involve the physical key, the remote, or the vehicle’s ignition setup. Describe what changed and whether the vehicle still starts; those details help us identify the service to check.

A key is worn, cracked, or sticks

A damaged or hard-to-turn key can leave you unable to start the Cherokee. Avoid forcing it; we offer car key repair, replacement, and ignition repair.

The fob no longer responds

A remote that stops working can leave you without normal fob access. We offer key fob replacement and key fob programming; the correct service depends on the Cherokee’s key style.

You have only one working key

With no spare, a lost or damaged key can turn into an all-keys-lost call. A spare made while the existing key works gives you a second key for the vehicle.

The Cherokee will not start after a key issue

Tell us whether the key turns, whether the fob responds, and whether any other key works. Those clues help separate a key replacement need from an ignition repair need.

One Working Jeep Cherokee Key or No Keys at All?

Whether you have a working key changes what we need to know before we come out. Tell us which situation fits your Cherokee when you call.

You still have one working key

We can check the key type and make a spare based on your Cherokee’s year and trim. Share whether the working key is a chip key, a fob-style key, or part of a push-to-start setup.

Every key is gone

We make a new car key on site when all keys are lost. Give us the vehicle’s year and trim, and tell us where the Cherokee is parked so we can provide mobile service at its location.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if my Jeep Cherokee key is worn, cracked, or sticks in the ignition?

Do not force a key that sticks, since it could remain stuck or stop turning. Call and tell us the Cherokee’s year and whether the key is visibly damaged; we offer car key repair, replacement, and ignition repair.

Can you make a Jeep Cherokee key if I have no original?

Yes. We make a new car key on site when all keys are lost, and we check the Cherokee’s year and trim to identify its key style. Car key replacement starts at $110, with a $29 service call.

Why did my Jeep Cherokee key fob stop working after I changed the battery?

Tell us that the battery has been changed and whether the fob still responds to any of its functions. We offer key fob replacement and programming, and the right next step depends on the Cherokee’s year and key setup.

Can you help if I’m stuck away from home in my Jeep Cherokee?

We provide mobile service and can come to the Cherokee’s location for a lockout or lost-key problem. Inside San Luis Obispo, typical arrival is within 15 minutes; farther towns within our service area are served by the next available locksmith. For a locked vehicle, see our car lockout service.
