 Description of the problemDespite a number of updates made to the transmission in the jeep cherokee (kl) series, the transmission continues to give me safety concern. Amongst the issues experienced a significant pause or "hang time" when attempting to accelerate for a turn. This occurs both during time of deceleration into a turn lane followed by a quick turn (i. E. When there is an opening in traffic) or when stopped (i. E. Stopping at a stop sign and then accelerating for a turn the car begin to roll at a few miles per hour by the transmission just feels like it won't connect, when it does the vehicle lurches and often breaks tire tread contact, even on dry pavement). Another issue involving the transmission is while parking, approximately one week ago i was turning into a tight parking space and i suppose the transmission must have been in 2nd gear and not 1st as it decided to downshift, lurching the vehicle forward. Fortunately, since i was turning into a parking space, i had the brakes nearly fully engaged, which kept me from striking the next car over, but it was close as the lurch was significant enough to throw the cars weight forward. Jeep has made an effort to address some of these issues via software updates, but i am concerned that nearly 4 years into ownership of this vehicle that the transmission cannot actually be "fixed." i am concerned that the transmission will continue to cause and or allow for safety situations that are going to lead to traffic crashes and possible injuries. I feel as though a deeper look at the issues revolving around the zf 9 speed transmission are warranted, to include a significant testing phase or investigation to determine why these issues are still present and what, if anything, can be done to address them.
