| Description of the problem | Approx a year ago-purchased 2014 jeep lattitude from dealer. On test drive felt hesitation in shifting. 1-2-3- gear- seller made note to check problem. Took following day. In a day or so again noticed problem. Made appointment. Needed software update-now ok. Test drive 3-5 miles. Next day-same problem. Mechanic noticed problem. Needed trans replaced. Trans for 2014 & 2015 jeep is a 9-nine speed trans. Week later replaced with same type of 9 speed trans. Picked up after serviced--within 10 minutes same prob. Back to dealer-mechanic checked--could not duplicate problem--said runs like a 9 speed should. Driiver is problem. Not used to the operation/feel of a 9 speed. Jeep slips gears, hesitation-safety concern-no pickup when from a stop or changing lanes on the roadway. Did some research on google--500 plus documented cases -video of this problem by well known reporter/investigator. I paid a large sum of money for a unsafe vehicle--jeep is aware of well documented issues-also problem does not show up on scanner-so its not happening. Dealer not giving me a fair deal on another vehicle. Black hole with no light at the end. Note: difficult to continue-recently out of hospital-and shake with parkinsons |
