| Description of the problem | The vehicle's automatic transmission has had 6 incidents where it has not shifted properly: 3 times it has been stuck in 1st gear and not automatically shifted to higher gears. Each time this happened when proceeding from a full stop when the traffic light changed into an intersection, with the gear selector in d. Each time i had to quickly put the gear selector in n and back into d to remedy this. 2 times, while again stopped at a traffic light with the gear selector in d, i stepped on the accelerator when the light changed, but the vehicle just revved and did not move. I checked the gear selector and it was still in d, but would still only rev and not move. Again, as above, i put the gear selector in n and back into d. Only then would the vehicle drive. Just last week, i was attempting to parallel park on the street. I put the gear selector in r to back into the empty space. No vehicles were behind mine, nor any on my left. I stepped on the accelerator, but the engine just revved, the vehicle didn't move. I tried again and again, but it just revved. I put the gear selector in d, went a little forward, then put the selector in r. This time the vehicle did move in reverse. These incidents happened over the past 2 years. The vehicle is currently in the service department at mckevitt chrysler jeep dodge in berkeley, ca to diagnose and repair this recurring issue. This is the 3rd time i have brought the vehicle to this dealership for this same issue. The previous two times, they were unable to find the cause of the problem. I have found that 20 other owners of 2017 jeep grand cherokees have reported similar complaints on the car repairs. Com website: http://m. Carcomplaints. Com/jeep/grand_cherokee/2017/transmission/ |
