Description of the problem | Since i bought the car the transmission shifted very rough. The car surged forward when slowing down. When stopped and starting to move forward the car jumped forward on a consistent basis. I took to dealer, they said i was not used to driving an suv. Approximately a month later ( transmission getting worse) the check engine light came on. Took to dealer( towne chrysler jeep in hamburg ny), said nothing wrong with it. Picked it up and 30 minutes later check engine light came back on. Took it back to the dealer, they said could be some software problem. Picked the vehicle up again. Check engine light came back on within a few hours. I thought it might have been the dealer, so i took it to another jeep dealership. I dropped the car off rented a car. When enterprise picked me the agent told me that he had at least 10 people that week with jeep cherokee and transmission problems( from 1 dealership). I googled the problem and found out that thousands of jeep owners were experiencing the same problem with the 9 speed transmission. Today they put a new transmission in my 4 month old car. These cars are dangerous when they jump forward even with your foot on the brake. The transmission does not shift when trying to excellerate. It is just a matter of time before someone gets killed driving these cars. |
