| Description of the problem | I purchased a new 2014 jeep cherokee on nov 11. Car has a very noticeable wobble between 10-15 mph when accelerating from a dead stop. Wobble can be minimal or intense enough to make your legs shake. I've taken it to the dealer five times. The first three times i was told they could not replicate the claim even when a service worker felt the wobble. The fourth time the assistant manager was able to feel the wobble. They finally put it on the rack and could 'not find anything wrong' and said it was safe to drive. I was told to bring it back when the check engine light came on (it never has). The car now will now hesitate to accelerate when driving down side roads and even on the interstate. Now when the car wobbles it feels like it could literally slide off the frame. On occasion the car will feel like it is jumping up the hill. I feel that this car is no longer safe to drive. I also had an incident when driving down the highway at 55 mph the car stopped accelerating and actually slowed down 10-15 mph. Was trying to pull off the road when the car suddenly shifted very hard and began accelerating again. I was told that this was 'impossible' from the service department. I'm also having a major issue with the service department not giving me paperwork!! |
