Description of the problem | Takata recall i have had my 2015 jeep cherokee (latitude) for 2yrs now. On saturday 3/11/17, it would not start and the transmission light was on. The gear shift wasn't working either. I called the dealership i bought it from because it is still under warranty, they gave me the number for roadside help to have it towed in, then after several times trying it started, while on the phone with the roadside service dpt. The next week on tue (3/14/17) it would not start again, then suddenly it did. I was close to my job so i thought i could make it, but the gears were stuck and hard to change. While pulling out into traffic the car i couldn't speed up. I could have been in a bad accident because of this car!!!! There should be a recall on this car it is not safe. I'm just glad i had dropped my 4 kids off before this happened. The dealership said it was a glitch in the transmission module, well this is the second week it has been in the shop. They cannot figure out what is wrong with it. While going to get the car seats out of it, there was a lady there with her car (same make & model but 2016) having the same problem she had only 17,000 miles on her car and the transmission went out on it. I think mine has the same problem. My mileage is under 25,000!! This is not right. If the company knows there are numerous complaints about the same issue, then there should be a recall on the car. It's not fair to consumers!!! |
