Description of the problem | While i was driving home through pa, my car's transmission warning light came on. I lost speed, horsepower, and torque; i struggled to make it up hill (didn't go pass 40 mph), was almost rear-ended by cars behind me. I pulled over and let my car rest for 30 minutes and made it home at 65 mph. I normally travel anywhere between 70 & 75 mph on the freeway. I took it to my local jeep dealership in wheeling, wv the following monday. The service dept. Told me there were no recorded messages (codes) in the computer system and, therefore, no service was completed on the vehicle. The tech even informed me that this was a common problem he sees, but chrysler hasn't fixed it and hopes there's a recall. Fast-forward to august 31st, 2015, i encountered the same problem twice while driving home through oh. I had autozone run a diagnostic and again, no recorded codes in the system. I see a mechanic tomorrow (friday, sept. 4th) and jeep on august 10th. I've been reading about this issue on various forums and youtube (https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=vnkezt0mr-4; https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=3-4stctcgkw). After further research, this problem has been reoccurring issue with jeep, dodge, and chrysler for a long time. People have been reporting this issue and taking it to their local dealership with no service. There's a problem here and chrysler has known this for several years. |
