| Description of the problem | I bought my jeep cherokee 2014 awd with 60k miles on it. Within in 6 months, my dashboard said service transmission and it was undriveable. The dealership said it was software issue and fixed it. Not even a year later and i had the same issue again and it is now getting a new transmission. Often when driving, it revs very high and goes nowhere, or if i'm cruising a parking lot, its revving very high and will jerk into another gear. Not only that, but i've had know drive shaft bearing ands a new radio put it. The big issue is the transmission and the repeated tows, missing work, late to work, engine shaking, grinding, and now being replaced. I've owned it my own for 1. 5 years, am already at this point. Dealership won't replace it, just told me i have it covered under warrantly and oh well. These issues have happened when starting my car in the morning to leave my driveway, won't shift into gear. Driving on the highway attempting to switch lanes and have no acceleration so i slam on the brakes before i get into an accident because i know if it doesn't take off, its not going to until i least expect it. |
