| Description of the problem | I have owned a new 2014 grand cherokee limited v6 for six months and have experienced rough shifting with my transmission from day 1. The transmission is especially rough when cold and/or shifting from 1->2->3 and 2->1 downshifts. I have brought it in to jeep numerous times for a fix, the dealer recognizes that the transmission is not shifting smooth or correct, but says until there's a fix or update from jeep, there's nothing that can be done. It is very frustrating to spend $45k on a new vehicle that has "jerky" transmission shifting, to the point where i cannot use my vehicle with business clients due to the harsh ride. I've been on multiple jeep forums and based on the number of postings about this issue, the discontent is widespread among jeep owners and fans. With the issue getting worse over time, i'm concerned my transmission will fail and become a serious safety issue. |
