Description of the problem | My 2015 jeep cherokee has approximately 6,000 miles on it. I've had it in 3 times due to the transmission surging, and is at the dealer again now. The car was surging between 45 & 40 and 25 & 20 mph when i slowed down. I took it into the dealer and they did some software changes. The car still surged at 30 to 25 mph, and sometimes with my foot off of the gas, it just kept going at 25 mph. After the dealer replaced the transmission, it was still surging at about 25 mph. They made more adjustments on it. The tech told me that it wasn't right when the car was cold, so he let it cool again, drove it cold, and he said it seems fine now. It's in the shop again after i found that it was still surging at 25 mph and now when the car is cold, when you step on the gas the car hesitates before moving forward. This could be a dangerous problem when pulling out into traffic. Auto blog advised that there were no complaints on the 2015 cherokees for the transmission problems that were common in the 2014 models. Maybe there have been other complaints since that article was last updated. I believe that there is still a problem with the 9 speed transmission. |
