| Description of the problem | This is the 4th time that my jeep that was purchased in january 2015 has been in the shop replacing the transmission. My transmission is losing power and slipping. A very loud grinding noise started and every mile that i drove it gradually got worse causing it to lose power. I was told if problem is not fixed the vehicle will end up shutting off on its own while driving down the road. Thus creating a huge safety issue as it could cause an accident. When is a vehicle considered a lemon? I don't want to wait until something life threatening happens with my family , friends, or customers are in my vehicle. This is the 4th time that i have lost money from it being in the shop. |
