| Description of the problem | The 9-speed automatic transmission has been experiencing problems for almost a year. The transmission lurches, hesitates on acceleration, shifts into neutral, and makes clucking sounds when shifted into drive. My dealer (sheridan motors) tried to repair the problem with a software update in january, 2019 (see attached invoice), but the problem persists. Recently, while driving on i-25 north of denver, co, the transmission hesitated for several seconds on acceleration and dropped speed from 75 mph to 61 mph. This almost caused us to be rear-ended by following traffic. I no longer consider it safe to drive my 2015 jeep cherokee. I have read many stories of jeep owners having the same continuous issues with these 9-speed automatic transmissions, and i think all vehicles with these transmissions need to be immediately recalled. |
