Description of the problem | I was on the highway when my transmission light came on and the vehicle stopped accelerating. I had to pull over, put it in park, then back into drive to get it to move again. This happened numerous time until i could get it to a jeep dealership north of atlanta georgia. When i finally got to the dealership, my son and i told them what was happening. They apparently knew immeditately that it was a computer malfunction. My vehicle needed approximately 7 updates to the computer!! My son and i could have been killed in the middle of city traffic on a highway because of a computer! I asked the service manager why i was never told this could happen and he said there is no way to tell and there is also no warning this will happen or if it may happen again. I am terrified of this car that i can not get rid of now! Now i see that some other cherokees can spontaneously accelerate and then go into park on its own? Another computer issue? I hate this car now and it terrifies me to have my family in it. We got it to travel from fl to ct and now i will no longer take the chance with my family's lives. |
