| Description of the problem | When driving at highway speeds (68 mph) and slowing down, the gears on the 2014 jeep cherokee downshifted, resulting in an increase in speed, despite pressure being applied to the brakes. This occurs with the automatic transmission when braking change gears from 4th to 5th gear. The shift into 4th gear is followed immediately by a 500+ rpm increase in the engine. If heavy, consistent pressure is not applied to the brake, the car will accelerate 1-2 mph. If heavy, consistent pressure is applied to the brake, the car shifts violently and the car "lurches" forward due to the increase in rpm. |
