| Description of the problem | I bought new a 2005 grand cherokee limited 2wd 4. 7 at approx. 3k miles it seems to have transmission problems shifting into 3rd gear and a shuddering/ missing when cruising at any speed. Sometime when you stop there is a thank you can feel. The dealership i purchased it at doesn't want to service it because i submitted a bad service survey to chrysler. A dealership in the next town told me they would need to replace the transmission. I waited one week for parts to come in then took it to the dealer which told me all it need was a update to the computer which had already been done by the selling dealer. I took it to the next biggest dealership which has worked with me on the transmission problems having it in the shop a week at a time a least twice. They replace seals in the transmission but it hasn't fixed the problem and it seems the more mile i put on it the worse it gets. Now i sometime have a loud roaring noise the sounds like a busted muffler coming from the transmission area. *nm |
