Description of the problem | We bought a 2015 jeep cherokee in 2016 and without being told of the issues with the transmissions issues. We have had our jeep in the shop four times with transmissions issues of shifting hard and now going into neutral when in drive and the brakes going hard and the jeep coming to a stop. The anit slide has now came on and the jeep shakes . The updates came one day when i was getting onto the highway going 65 mph and the jeep went to 30 mph with my grandkids in the car and two disels one behind me blowing the horn because he almost hit me and one to the side of me. My husband was coming home from a dr visit again the jeep went into a neutral state while in the drive position and the jeep stopped and he was almost hit then the jeep jerked and went into gear so he went into a shopping center and had to stop and kill the jeep and restart the jeep to make the jeep restart just to get it home. It went back to the shop that night! We have had the jeep in the shop for hard shifting when taking off and now it is hard shifting when taking off and down shifting, anti slide randomly comes on, brakes are not properly stopping the car. Go to the dealer where we bought it and they only offered $7500 for it when we owe $15, 000 and this is so ridiculous. Called jeep and awaiting a call, they stated they have to call the dealer. In the mean time i had to buy another car because ours is to unsafe to drive! The jeep is sticking in gear and the tac meter is staying on 3 or 4. Then when you turn the jeep off and turn it back on it may or may not work. We have backed it out of our driveway and put into drive and it shifts so hard into first and second gear. Now since the last time we picked it up from the shop the jeep has now started loosing power when you attempt to drive. We have parked the jeep and decided it isn't safe! |
