Description of the problem | Transmission problems. Transmission was replaced when i had 4,000 miles on the car. I purchased the jeep new its the trail hawk addition. Now i have 30,000 miles on it and the transmission is just terrible (even after the transmission was replaced it never ran right). It bucks when it shifts, it doesn't downshift fast enough. If i am stopping at a red light and i have not come to a complete stop and the light turns green and i go from the brake to the gas it hesitates and jerks like the car was 30 years old and had 200,000+ miles on the transmission. I am half scared to drive at night alone. I'm currently going thru a divorce and do not know what i would do if the car left me sit in an unfamiliar area. I purchase new cars so i do not have to worry about breaking down and i understand any car new or old can break down but its less likely a new car will then an older car. Jeep needs to fix this problem. |
