Description of the problem | Bought a 2015 jeep cheroke in march and have had transmission issue since day one. The transmission slams into gear when accelerating and downshifts hard and pushes the vehicle forward on deceleration. I have 5,000 miles on my "new" $35,000 vehicle and i'm on transmission number two. Every time i drive this vehicle i wonder if the transmission will stop again and leave me stranded, or worse, cause me to get into an accident. Many times when accelerating, there is a pause without any movement and then the transmission grabs and the vehicle lunges forward. This has happened merging onto the thruway as well. I was trying to accelerate to merge with traffic driving 65 mph and nothing was happening as i pushed on the gas pedal. Then all of a sudden it kicks in with a loud thud. I worry when it snows that this will make the tires spin to much and i will lose control. |
