2014 Jeep CHEROKEE Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1545791
Internal NHTSA #	11186170
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	CHEROKEE
Model Year	2014
File date	01/12/18
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicles nine speed automatic transmission does not go to first gear upon making a complete stop. The transmission goes automatically to third gear or second gear. This results in the transmission starting from a stop from third gear (unless manually downshifted) reducing power and can result in a slow take-off, increasing risk of a collision or the vehicle rolling back into vehicles behind the car. I have had several close calls because of this. Ninth gear never engages, this has to result in lowered fuel economy and reduced engine and transmission life as does starting from third gear. I believe the transmission to be defective and have read of numerous complaints from other customers of these exact same problems. The vehicle has received re-programming on all recalls and now jeep customer service states this is "normal" and "no defect" thus, no repair necessary and not covered by warranty. Vehicle was advertised and sold to me as a "nine speed automatic transmission" in effect, jeep deceived customers selling them an eight speed semi-automatic transmission. Email chain attached.
