| Description of the problem | We bought a 2016 jeep cherokee sport two days ago. At a 108 miles while driving up a city street. The car became very jerky, lunging forward, then went in to neutral and died. After that the car wouldn't start again. Luckily there wasn't any drivers near us and we weren't on a hwy. The dealership did tow it back to their shop for repairs. After researching and finding the numerous complaints on this car and transmission of similar complaints for the past three years. Most of these complaints have stated that they continued to have this problem even after several trips in for repairs of this issue. I'm terrified to get this car back. Lemon law states i have to give them 3 times to fix this, but why should i have to gamble with mine and my children's safety two more times? When this manufacture has been putting these transmissions out for three years promising it's fixed with each new year release. I'm sick with concern. |
