| Description of the problem | When going from a stopped or slow speed to a quicker speed the jeep does not respond. It stalls, sometimes in the middle of a road, then will suddenly kick very hard and finally get going. The ca does this if i am merging onto a highway, going on a green light, or pulling into traffic (turning left or right). The way it is acting it is extremely likely that i will be hit. This has been happening for several months. I have take to two different dealerships and told two different things. One saying there was a software update they did that should take care of it, would not explain the update to me. The other saying they could not replicate the problem and everything seems to be operating fine and that this is just the "new 9 gear transmission deciding on a gear" |
