| Description of the problem | While driving uphill, in wet or rainy conditions, the new jeep diesel 3. 0l engine starts to hesitate, this causes the vehicle to vibrate severely. The first occurrence was at 40mph, after taking it to the dealership they reflashed the tcm which i believe changed the shift points in the transmission, while driving home the same problem occurred, this time at 45mph. I took the jeep back to the dealership where they reflashed the pcm, when driving home the same problem occurred, this time at 50mph. This engine hesitation causes severe vibration, i am worried that if the engine cuts out at this speed, it will cause a serious accident. I have video footage of this occurring. |
