Description of the problem | When taking off from a complete stop the jeep hesitates or has no power to wheels for 5- 10 seconds at a time. When pulling out into an intersection we have almost been hit numerous times because the vehicle will not move. The engine revs up but no power to the wheels. And once it does start to move it takes off and gives you whiplash. We have also experienced our transmission getting locked into an unknown gear and not shifting up or down. Both of these instances have happened on highways and in city driving. Our dealer replaced a relay the first time our ck engine light came on. The second time they replaced a tcm and flashed our computer and installed 5 software upgrades. The third time our ck engine light came on which was last week, they are now replacing our transmission. There is obvious no fix for this transmission issue and it's unbelievable that jeep would allow this well known safety issue to continue. This transmission is going to get someone hurt or killed. No doubt in my mind. When you pull out into an intersection and hit the accelerator and nothing happens and there's a tractor trailer headed straight for you, i'd like to know what jeep recommends you do? |
