| Description of the problem | I bought my 2014 jeep cherokee oct. 2016 i noticed when i would come to a stop or pull out it would stay stuck in the gear and then all of a sudden it like kicked into the gear with a jerk. I took it back to the service department and they told me there wasn't anything wrong. Well, it has never stopped and has gotten worse. What upsets me that there was a recall on this jeep july 12, 2016 nhtsa campaign number: 16v529000 transmission may shift unexpectedly to neutral if the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral, there is an increased risk of a crash. What makes it worse the dealership was unaware of this when they sold it or when i brought it back?? Friday i left work at 6 am i drive an hour i drive on busy highways my jeep suddenly lost power on a dbl lane road with cars behind me and to the left, i am thankful i was on the right side that i could drift over to the side, but the snow that was packed along the guard rails still left me 1/2 in the lane flashing something about my transmission. Thank god i was not on pennsylvania, interstate 70 when this happened because it would have been a major catastrophe with multiple vehicles and tractor trailers. I call the dealership where it was bought told him what had happened ... I got an appointment in about 2 weeks this jeep is unsafe!!!! Plus there are other issues with it. |
