2016 Jeep CHEROKEE Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1601729
Internal NHTSA #	11256071
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	CHEROKEE
Model Year	2016
File date	15/09/19
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Bangs into 2nd or 3rd gear intermittently after a stop or while driving at lower speeds 25-30 mph especially. Most erratic in city driving. The jolt is so hard the driver takes notice. The vehicle will hesitate at time from a stop then jump forward like a bat out of hell causing front wheels to spin. At lower speeds in city the vehicle has a delay from engine to transmission causing a jerking motion even when pressing ever so litely on gas peddle. The transmission holds gears aggressively before up shifting, so engine speed hangs high between shifts. The vehicle shifts occasionally immediately into 2nd gear from a stop and then drags it out and clunks into 3rd gear causing untimely shifting. Lithia jeep and pelletier jeep both did software updates with marginal improvement or made it worse. Also the transmission up shifts to soon often from 1st to 2nd gear. Vehicle at times has mind of its own for transmission never really knowing what to making not very predictable and dangerous to drive. The speed control is dangerous and a nightmare. When going downhill it makes transmission go into lower gears causing engine rpm over danger zone. It feels like the engine and transmission are going to explode. The speed control is really hard to predict what it will do! I
