Description of the problem | Purchased a 2015 jeep cherokee latitude 4x4 on 2/28/2015. Started having issues with the transmission hesitating and jerking into gear. Took it to the dealership on 5/1/2015 and was informed that there is a computer glitch that the manufacturer is aware of, but there is no fix for it. They say its safe to drive. On 5/7/2015 i almost got t-boned because the transmission wouldn't shift pulling out of a parking lot into traffic. It finally jerked into gear but continued to jerk and would not go over 25mph and my check engine light and errors came on about the start/stop function. The dealership towed my car and i am using a loaner. They have no idea how to fix it. The 2015 jeep cherokee's are completely unsafe to drive! Spent over $30,000 on a vehicle that i can't safely drive. |
