Description of the problem	I purchased my jeep at garden city jeep on 06/06/16 & the vehicle test drove fine (for the 10 minutes i got to drive the vehicle). Upon owning it for a few days i noticed that there was a wobble in the front end when traveling between 0-20mph specifically when the vehicle shifted between 1st & 2nd gear when going both straight or making a right turn. I also noticed very poor transmission shifting primarily at low speeds, in stop & go traffic, in parking lot (traveling slow), when reversing, & even when traveling at moderate speeds (30-60mph) when the vehicle would shift up & down between 4th, 5th, & 6th. The trans would jerk, tug, & clunk into gear sometimes more noticeable then others. I took the car to the dealer & the wobble was fixed. In addition the dealer flashed the software on my trans & for the first day it felt considerably better however after driving it for 2 weeks the trans felt very sluggish again. The car now jerks between 1st, 2nd, & 3rd gear again primarily at low speeds or during gentle accleration... It also seems to feel very sluggish in 4th & 5th gear when the car is coasting around 30-55mph... Any acceleration after letting the car coast causes the trans to jerk into gear. Almost 100% of the time now when i am waiting at a red light, or am stopped on the road for any reason, & then need to accelerate unless i accelerate very aggressively the car feels as if it is shifting 3 to 5 times however the car is only in 2nd or 3rd gear. It almost seems as if it is shifting up, up, down, up all over the course of 1-2 seconds. Sometimes this can be violent enough to jerk my head forward & back. Separately, upon deceleration the rpms will spike 500-1000 rpms when letting it coast & downshift on its own & the car will actually speed up on its own. Separately, when accelerating after coasting the trans lags and i receive no power until 1-2 seconds either.
