| Description of the problem | Purchased the 2014 jeep cherokee june 2014. At 7,000 miles it started banging into gear from 2nd to 3rd. Brought it in a few times within that year and they couldn't duplicate the condition but reflased the tcm unit several times. After changing dealerships months later the following year in 2015 i addressed the problem to them. Same thing in which the problem couldn't be duplicated. In february another trip to the dealership and this time they found the defect in the transmission valve body. The repair was made. April 7 2016 back to the dealership with the same similar problem. This time they replaced the transmission. Now the problem is with delayed downshifting while changing lanes mostly. I was almost rear ended with my son driving on his driving permit. That was very close. He even expressed his concern of the vehicle not responding to a downshift. He now is reluctant to drive my jeep. It has become a hazardous situation while driving. Sometime in september i will address the issue in the delayed downshifting problem. |
