| Description of the problem | A year ago i purchased a 2014 jeep cherokee. Shortly after i had a scare when driving my car and all of the sudden it jerked me forward as it jumped into the next gear. It felt like the vehicle got stuck as the rpm's would rev up but i went no where then all of the sudden the car jumps forward. There is clearly a issue with the transmission almost getting stuck then jerking you into the next gear. I notified the dealership and they stated they were aware of this problem but there is no fix. I also went home and looked up this transmission issue and was floored by the amount of complaints regarding this same thing! This problem has progressively gotten worse and more frequent when driving. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle with my child in the back seat. I do not feel i should be financing a known faulty vehicle. They should offer a complete buy back to allow me to purchase a safe and reliable vehicle to drive. This is truly an accident waiting to happen to someone soon. Please help! |
