Description of the problem | The service transmission message appeared on the dash information screen. I was on a highway, driving 60 mph. It felt as though the car was slowing down and unresponsive to my attempt to accelerate. Once i exited the highway, the car didn't respond to attempts to accelerate when light turned green. It felt as though it were coasting. I came to a stop and required a tow truck to get the vehicle back to dealership service department. I was later told there would be a likelihood of needing a new transmission. Something with regard to the 8th gear not engaging due to some issue with the solenoid. That issue is what caused the gear to not engage. According to the pre-assessment by the service department. The service advisor indicated this was a failure that jeep is familiar with. Prior to today, i had experienced a sensation of the vehicle trying to accelerate when the gas peddle wasn't bring depressed. When attempting to decelerate, it would attempt to lunge forward against my attempts to brake. |
