| Description of the problem | There is problem with the transmission. After coming out of a turn or even just taking my foot of the gas for a second and then stepping on the gas there is a "dead pedal" for a couple seconds as the transmission does nothing. The dealer says that jeep is aware of the problem however since there is currently no fix the dealer notes on my invoice that is is normal and by design. This condition where the car basically stalls is potentially dangerous as there is a possibility that i could get rear ended while my vehicle tries to figure out if it wants to downshift or not. |
