Description of the problem | The vehicle has a very dangerous hesitation. It does not downshift properly when trying to accelerate.. This makes any lane change, highway approach, turn, or emrgency manuever extremely dangerous. This vehicle can't be safely driven in traffic, or taken off road as designed. Fca has not remedied the iissue and has made the vehicle worse with their latest updates. This happens every single time the vehicle has been driven. It has been in the shop twice for repairs. The excuse is it is opreating as designed. In essence a poor design is somthing we have to live with and be okay with driving in danger? This is a safety hazzard that needs to be investigated before someone dies. The public should know about the vehicle danger before they decide to purchase one |
