| Description of the problem | Takata recall brand new with only 800 miles. Day one, shifting seemed odd. Thought it needed break in time. Stopped, the vehicle will almost lunge, making it feel like someone rear ended you. Shifts hard up or down shifting - around 3rd gear. Today, 20mph was running 3000 rpms and wouldn't shift. I pulled into parking lot and shut vehicle off and restarted. The tranny light was on and did not go off but the shifting was normal - which is not normal. Afraid that i will be stuck in stop mode and get rear ended or the vehicle won't shift going on the highway and will cause an accident. Doesn't matter what the temp is outside or temp of vehicle. Shifting is a jerky motion. Haven't made the first payment and already headed to dealer. I spoke with salesman and he said he is having same issues with his new jeep. It should be under warranty but i am not happy that i have a brand new vehicle and paid this much money for it and it already has issues - major if it is transmission. |
