2015 Jeep CHEROKEE Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The transmission suffers from hard shifts and delayed shifting. This occurs when shifting from reverse to drive, park to drive, accelerating from a stop and accelerating to pass another vehicle. The delayed shifting or hesitation is dangerous to drivers of this vehicle and others as it causes the driver of the jeep cherokee to unintentionally lurch into traffic. This is especially dangerous when making a left turn across oncoming traffic. In these situations when the gas pedal is depressed the engine revs and becomes loud but the vehicle does not move- very similar to if one pressed the gas while in neutral. This hesitation lasts a few to several seconds during which time oncoming traffic that was a safe distance away when the turn was initiated has become dangerously close. The transmission suddenly engages and propels the vehicle into the path of oncoming traffic. This problem is intermittent but frequent. It occurs every time i drive but not every time i shift from park to reverse, shift from park to drive, make a left hand turn, accelerate to pass, or accelerate from a stopped position. I believe this makes this issue especially dangerous because the driver never knows when or if this may occur. The vehicle has been serviced 3 times within 10 months of ownership for the above issues. It has had all available transmission module updates without improvement and is currently awaiting transmission replacement. Per the dealership the transmission replacement is unlikely to correct the issues as it is being replaced with the same faulty transmission. My vehicle has been in for service for more than 50 days cumulatively. The earliest anticipated arrival date of the new transmission is over 2 weeks away meaning that my vehicle will have been undrivable for more than 2 months before the earliest anticipated date of repair.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
