| Description of the problem | Driving home from the store the transmission kicked into first gear with no warning. Was unable to get out of first gear and almost caused an accident. Scared and being terrified of the incident pulled off the road. After restarting was still not able to get out of first gear. Odd cause i've owned my 2014 jeep cherokee less then a year and has less then 55,000 miles on it. Took it into chrysler dealership and after finally looking at it a week later said the internal transmission censor wiring harness has a shortage. This could of killed my family as this is similar to recall code s55 that was just opened by nhtsa reference#16v529000. Only difference in that code and mine is mine gets stuck in first gear and won't come out of first gear. They didn't care that my family could of died. No sorry no nothing just said it's not under the power train warranty cause it's the harness although that's was ceased the transmission the safety of my family. It's unexceptable and i hope i can get an investigation on this. I know lives are at stake cause mine was put on the line due to bad product or defected product. |
