| Description of the problem | 2014 jeep cherokee latitude. Fwd v6. The transmission slips and has delayed engagement upon takeoff and while shifting from low speeds. Transmission also hunts for gears between 0-15 mph and will jerk car back and forth. When transmission delays engagement (pressing down gas pedal in drive but car isn't moving) it will eventually grab and spins the tires a little before going. My wife and i have had numerous close calls/near accidents due to this issue. Turning onto incoming traffic (legally) and the vehicle wont move. It can be terrifying. This mostly happens driving on city streets. I hate this car. |
