| Description of the problem | Brand new car, shake and shimmy between 1st and 2nd gear, and hits hard in 4th. I have roughly 1400 miles on it. Took it to local jeep dealership for service, the team claimed to fix it with a tcm flash. However, much like many others who have had the same issue, the flash did not fix the issue. Extremely disappointed in jeep's ability to fix this across 3 years. This issue hold the greatest amount of complaints across 2014, 15, and now 16 model years. Looking forward to exercising my states lemon law. |
