| Description of the problem | My jeeps transmission is shifting out of gear, accelerating and driving up the rpms going downhill while i am trying to brake, jumping out of gear and speeding up, or revving up at random moments. This is causing very dangerous driving conditions as my vehicle takes off when it should be slowing down or speeds up for no reason and i have to slam the brakes to get the transmission to "reset". When its in these conditions it revs up the motor and often shifts very hard into the next gear. I did record this on video as its happening to demonstrate how difficult it is to drive the vehicle this way. Its two weeks before the car dealership can take my car and inspect it, so, i am driving around at risk. |
