| Description of the problem | I am filing this complaint about my 2015 cherokee latitude because the vehicle was repeatedly shifting itself out of drive into neutral while the suv was in motion. I had the vehicle for 12 days before this happened. I was compelled to file this complaint for two reasons. First, in doing minor internet research about this problem, i discovered this was an ongoing issue with the new 9 speed automatic transmission that chrysler was aware of way back in october 2013 and was ? Supposed? To fix with the 2014 model & subsequent models after that. I have a brand new 2015 model and this issue has not been properly addressed & fixed at all. It? S obvious that the proper amount of qa was not done if this is still happening. Secondly, the main reason i wanted to file this complaint it because this issue of shifting out of gear while driving is a critical one. I am extremely lucky that i was not involved in a collision with a vehicle driving behind me when my suv suddenly & repeatedly stopped moving. My concern is that other drivers with these new 9 speed transmissions may not be so lucky. This issue could easily result in injuries or death if not properly addressed. |
