| Description of the problem | I took my jeep into the dealer to have the transmission looked at after the latest software update. It has worsened in its poor performance. It has huge delays shifting and lunges. It also disengages momentarily when braking. The fuel performance has gone down about 3 mpg since the update from 26mpg to 22. 5mpg. There is a serious shake in the system at any speed above 60mph. It vibrates when there is pressure to the wheels. Costing downhill it seems fine. I replaced the tires and have had them balanced and rotated twice thinking that was the problem. The dealer said they were not able to identify the problem and did not do any repair or correction. It is not right and i am not sure what to do with it. Hate to trade or sell it at this point because i know i will take a huge loss on it. |
