 Description of the problemThe 9 speed transmission on the new jeep cherokee doesn't seem to be safe. It has a major lag especially at rolling stops. When one presses the gas nothing happens for around 2 to 3 seconds then a huge burst of power. That may not sound like a long time unless your in the midian trying to turn left. It has almost gotten me killed on several occations. The vehicle has also started lagging while pulling into my driveway then it gives you a burst of power almost sending me through my garage. I have had to pull out of a slow trun to avoid getting hit then the power comes on sending me flying into a median. Jeep thinks it's the transmission and there is a 2 month waiting list just to get an appointment to wait longer. I think the problem stems from the engine start stop software. When your going slow the engine is preparing to shut off but instead of coming to a complete stop like say a left turn at a green light you press the gas. The computer takes a couple seconds to switch to power instead of shutting it down. Well that's my best guess. I really like this vehicle this is such a disappointment. Jeep hasn't offered any help beyond saying theyll call me in a couple months to set up an appointment. I hope it doesn't get me into a wreck before then.
