Description of the problem | I have owned this 2015 jeep cherokee since december 2014. The transmission had to be replaced @ 1890 miles, car stopped dead trying to pass a truck on steep grade, overheated transmission. The power brake master booster had to be replaced twice, @ 2490 miles and 4920 miles, no brakes just crash into nearest curb or car, part and system failure. The transmission mounts had to be replaced @ 2560 miles, car howling like a banchee, parts failure. The software had to be changed 3 times, "trying to solve factory problem". Warning lights for check engine and battery came on and car shuttered and came to abrupt stop, in the middle of a dangerous curve, with all system shut down completely @ 4970 miles, currently investigating cause. The car has been with the dealer, in total, more than 45 days, currently at dealer again. This car has left me in life threatening situations 4 times. It appears that when any preprogramed limits are reached, all systems shut down, brakes, steering, everything. You are left totally defenseless and not able to control the vehicle. The jeep has no emergency brake! This is the most unreliable and dangerous vehicle i have ever driven. I have been totally stranded away from home twice, and have yet to recover over $1000. 00 in out of pocket expense, transportation, hotel, food, and cabs. The dealer closed at 2pm on a saturday, 280 miles from home, said good by and told me to contact chrysler for assistance, " it wasn't his responsibility". All 2014 and 2015 jeep cherokee should be recalled and taken off the road. This poorly conceived and engineered vehicle is dangerous and will kill many people, if it already has not. The chrysler corporation and its dealers are knowingly selling a faulty and dangerous vehicle to the public. |
