Description of the problem	I purchased my 2015 jeep cherokee brand new, it had never been driven before. Immediately i recognized there was something off with the transmission and the acceleration pattern of the vehicle. For any speed within the first few gears (especially gear 2-3) the vehicle is exceptionally dangerous. If you come to a rolling stop at a yield sign, the car won't accelerate a single inch until you're up to about 4500 rpms, after which it will rip into 3rd gear so violently that the tires squeal. This has brought me close to causing several accidents, either from not accelerating quickly enough and almost being t-boned at an intersection, or from accelerating so rapidly you lose control of the vehicle. My final straw for writing this formal complaint was how close i came to my jeep jerking into a pedestrian crossing the street when i was trying to turn a corner before the pedestrian even started crossing the street. I had plenty of room and time to turn the corner, but when i attempted to accelerate the rpms rose rapidly and the vehicle stayed put until i hit that magical zone where all of a sudden 3rd gear catches and you are violently jerked forward. I have been into the dealership that sold me my vehicle four times for this exact issue. They did a few 'software updates' to try to 'fix' the issue, but nothing worked even in the slightest. I am now a couple of years in with this vehicle and jeep refuses to do anything more to fix their faulty transmission. I was completely ripped off, i will lose thousands on this terrible vehicle if i try to sell it now, but at the same time it is utterly irresponsible and dangerous to drive it out on the roads. After researching online, i found thousands of other complaints identical to mine for both 2014 and 2015 cherokees. Jeep is refusing to do anything about any of them. Jeep has robbed me, and i am powerless as a middle class citizen.

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.
