Description of the problem | After purchase of our new car 15 cherokee trailhawk v6, we noticed abnormal transmission shifts. We contacted our dealer and was told the vehicle needs to learn your driving style. The jeep would not downshift into 2nd gear and would rev and then engage the driveline resulting in neutral drop like take offs. 2nd appointment in july we were told there was a new program for the trans. Some improvement, got 2nd gear back. But the hesitation and slam into gear thing was still there. 3rd time in aug. Oil change and recall for the tailgate and radio. They again told us there is nothing they can do about the way it drives. No new programs out. Sept. The car almost killed us, while pulling out after a turn on red corner, the car took a few seconds to move after committing to the turn. Same neutral drop type engagement. No check engine lights. Read online forums this is a common symptom for these zf transmissions. |
