Description of the problem | A few weeks after i purchased this jeep 2015 cherokee, i noticed that upon deceleration and braking, as the transmission went from one gear to a lower gear, the car would accelerate in the lower gear, lunging the car forward. Though this hasn't caused an accident, i believe it could in certain situations. I have taken the vehicle to the chrysler dealership twice now. The first time they reloaded the computer software; they told me that it had the latest software, but they reloaded it just to make sure there were no issues. The problems actually got worse with the reloaded software. The transmission will also "clunk" from time to time when changing gears, even when i am stopped and change from drive to reverse, reverse to park, or drive to park. |
