Description of the problem | I've reached out several times for the last 2 years with my transmission issues with my jeep. I was told for the majority of the 2 years that nothing could be done to fix it or that it was just the way the car drives. After getting chrysler/jeep involved at the dealership and having a case manager who was absolutely useless, somehow after 2 years they magically realized there was something wrong with the transmission. They had the car for over a week and when i got it back, it was about 50% better. I assumed that was as good as it gets since jeep doesn't really fix anything. As of the last week or so the car is now worse than when i took it in. It hard shifts from first to second gear then it hard shifts down from 3rd to 2nd when stopped and then stutters forward. The shifting is erratic and when stopping and then needing to accelerate the car just hesitates like it doesn't know what to do. Which has caused me to almost get hit by another car several times. It is a liability not only to myself but to other people. It hesitates on the interstate when accelerating and left me in a situation where i was stuck between two semi trucks and the car basically stalled out. It should not be driven or on the road. Im going to be killed in the car. I do not trust that jeep knows how to fix the car or even has a fix for the issue at this point. Ive done research and it seems that its a known issue with the 2015 transmissions. I have given jeep several chances to make the situation right and now i;m done dealing with it. Now its a matter of how much value jeep puts on a human life. How many more lawsuits will jeep have because of this vehicle before something is done. |
