| Description of the problem | The transmission on this jeep has numerous problems, but safety issue is that vehicle adds fuel when you are slowing down or stopping. Prior to shifting down from 8th to 7th on an interstate, and worse, when in city traffic shifting from 5th to 4th when the tachometer actually goes up 1000 rpm or more causing you to brake harder. This is particularly dangerous when on ice and hard packed snow. This is not deceleration due to compression, but an actual addition of fuel just as if you hit the accelerator. It has done this since new, but is getting worse and chrysler has not addressed the issue to date. It has been in for repairs 2 times. |
