Description of the problem | I bought my 2015 cherokee limited in december 2014. It has a very rough ride with jerking movements as it shifts gears.(or attempts to shift gears). As you are braking the vehicle accelerates which has almost caused me to rear end the vehicle in front of me many times. I had to learn how to drive to anticipate this inefficient and dangerous suv. As i was accelerating on the highway to pass, the car just paused without any acceleration and then jerked and kicked in. I never know what this vehicle will do and it is painful to drive with this new transmission that turns off after braking and then sluggishly accelerates. I have taken the vehicle in for the software update on april 3, 2015 and told that i need a new transmission. I am in the process of waiting now. This transmission is unsafe and dangerous and jeep needs to take responsibility now before more incidents and casualties exist. |
