Description of the problem	Transmission safety complaint : built 1/2014 delivered 6/2014 purchased jeep cherokee on june 2, 2014 with 170 miles on odometer from capo motors dba orange coast chrysler, jeep ) . Returned jeep to sales agent june 10, 2014 complaining of transmission not shifting from forward stopped position correctly . He informed us that transmission must adjust to us. ( 1 ) jeep seems to down shift to a neutral mode even though the transmission indicates jeep is in the drive gear mode. When applying gas to the jeep the transmission hesitates then lunges forward requiring driver to apply the brakes to avoid rear ending vehicle in front.

( 3 ) when driving down ca. 18 steep mountain two lane highway from 5500 ft. To 1500 ft. . In drive mode the jeep suddenly shifted into neutral when gas was applied rounding a hair pin bend. I could not apply the breaks because of heavy july 4th. Boat trailer traffic behind me. I shifted to manual from drive and the number 9 drive mode was indicated.
