| Description of the problem | Jeep transmission does not shift smoothly it pounds into gear and doesnt shift at times. This has happened alot. Incident happened in july 2014 when we were driving it stalled check engine light and transmission lights ( maybe same ) came on and we were nearly hit on road by another car. Happened again too a few times called jeep they said to drive it down to dealer and that they were having numerous problems with jeep cherokees,. We opted to have it flat bed with a tow truck to dealer as it was unsafe to drive. Car is in shop almost a week and dealer called says they reprogramed transmission and it is being test driven at dealer but still bangs into gear and is rough they actually say it will need to get used to driver and stop thuds into gear. Unreal ! They actually said this with a new 37,000 suv. Its clear this jeep model was not tested rushed to market and is a sever safety issue. We are actually afraid to drive this jeep ! |
