Description of the problem | I purchased my 2015 cherokee 10 months ago and only has 7700 miles but as time has passed the shifting of gears is getting worse. If you let of the gas at 30mph when the car gets to 27mph it accelerates and you can see the rpm increase. When you brake and get to around 20mph the car does the same thing. I have had numerous occassions of almost getting an accident because of this when braking. Its also very dangerous to be going into a turn and the car start to go faster and i don't feel like i have control over the vehicle. During the first oil change i was advised the dealership of the concern and they said you just have to get used to driving a jeep as they run rough compared to cars. I took my jeep to the dealership 11/5/2015 since i complained again and now they do agree "something" is wrong with it but they don't know what due to its not giving them a code. I was given a rental car on 11/6/2015. On 11/10/2015 i was advised i needed a new transmission, the part was being ordered and should be ready in a few days. On 11/13/2015 i called to be advised a part was missing and it would not be ready until 11/16/2015. I called 11/16/2015 to see if it would be ready for me to pick up by 3pm and was told it would not be ready until 5pm, i told them i would pick up the jeep the next day. Today 11/17/2015 my husband went to drop of the rental to pick up our jeep and now it will not start, my husband was told they have no idea what is wrong but they will call later. At this point i do not feel safe having this vehicle and feel chrysler should buy it back as now my resale value will decrease since it will show a transmission replacement at less than 8000 miles. |
