| Description of the problem | I have had problems with the transmission of my 2015 jeep cherokee since i got it. It will sometime not shift going up hills and over revs but what is very scary is it will sometimes just hesitate when i press the gas and then suddenly take off without warning. If i am pulling out into traffic and i press the gas to go quickly the car simply will not go or it will just go a little and then pause and i will be stuck in the middle of the road. Then it will jerk and take off without warning. I am afraid to drive this car. It is a lease so i cannot even do anything about it. If i bought it i can assure you, i would have gotten rid of it by now. I am terrified to drive it. |
