| Description of the problem | 2014 jeep cherokee limited, 6 cylinder, purchased on april 21, 2014 with 321 miles on it. There was a slight shimmy in the front end that they told us was a flat spot in the tire that would work itself out and the transmission would have to "learn" my way of driving. On may 30,tt 2217 miles i brought the vehicle back tot he dealer for hesitation in the transmission and shuttering and grinding in the front end. The jeep has been back to the dealer 6 times for shuttering and grinding in the front end when proceeding from stop or low speed after being on the highway at a constant speed for several miles. Shuttering can happen when turning or going straight. I have also reported several transmission issues to them with the cars inability to downshift going up a hill and or to up shift when coasting down hills. At one time as i was entering the highway, i tried to accelerate to 55 and the car would not go over 30 mph. I'm glad there were two lanes or i would have been rear ended. Car was very jerky when proceeding from a stop and would often suddenly jerk forward after a hesitation to even move. Car has been reprogrammed 3 times, had a new valve body installed, a new transmission installed and two new axles installed two days after the axles were installed the shuttering and hesitation in transmission started again. Dealer has failed to get back to me. |
