Description of the problem	This zf9 transmission is a huge piece of junk and doesn't just impact the jeep cherokee kl. I've owned my 2015 cherokee since new and it has never shifted properly. Dealership replaced at less than 1,000 miles and won't do anything else except a "quick learn" procedure which is bogus and wastes my time. It clunks/slams gears between dog clutches, i have to floor it to get it to downshift (and it'll go from say, 5th gear to 2nd gear, causing peel outs), the shift quality is awful especially in lower gears; it hesitates between r and d (sometimes 2-3 seconds), and doesn't get any better after several dealership visits. Sometimes it's as if the car is confused and lets me rev close to 4k rpm before it figures itself out. I missed out on the class action lawsuit - please nhtsa do something. These cherokees continue to have faulty transmissions and i'm tired of fca blaming zf and zf blaming drivers and manufacturers. This has been an absolute unmitigated disaster and i'll never own another vehicle with a zf transmission. Jeep dealerships have no idea what they're doing. How has zf remained unscathed? This is a huge safety liability - if my vehicle can't utilize the transmission it was given correctly then it's an unsafe vehicle. The biggest safety issues: 1. I cannot merge normally onto the highway - i have to floor it to downshift and in many times it's too much power and causes torque steer. 2. It does not downshift correctly when slowing down, which causes the car to almost stall mid-turn until again, i floor it, and it peels out around the corner. Absurd.

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.
