2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Vehicle Speed Control Problems

Check engine light on 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport turned on, vehicle "went limp". Pulled over, turned car off, waited, turned car back on. Happened again taking car to dealership. The dealership said "code for trans range sensor p1726. reset trans and test drove. code did not come back". Same thing happened again a week later. Took it to Firestone, code was "TCM P1726-00 Transmission Manage Sensor "C" circuit High. They said it sounded like the Recall Number 16V529000/S55. I took it back to the dealership, they said the recall, despite being for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee didn't apply and noted "Same code P1726 set in TCM. Going to need range sensor and TCM replaced."

My vehicle - at random - will switch to traction control, 4x4, and will slow down while driving, and will not allow me to go above 45 mph, with the engine rpm’s revved as high as if I’m driving 85 mph. No mechanic has been able to accurately diagnose it, and I continue to pay for different repairs, without getting the problem actually solved.

Hello my jeep got a message of service 4 wheel drive so i brought it to the dealership. the looked at it and it turns out to be a failing PTU. Jeep did a recall and extended warranty on it but they are saying they will not cover the cost of the repair because its the wrong code. I have code C14A797 and they are saying they need code P14A797. This doesnt even make sense its the same exact faulty part but different codes??? Codes they the car company creates?

After driving a vehicle for a few minutes the lights will flash pretty badly, the service transmission light comes on, on the dash and the car enters limp mode, and the fan comes on, you are unable to move the vehicle it will not go forward or backwards. The vehicle runs perfectly smooth until this happens without warning. Additionally, the service air bag light came on, on the dash but if you turn the car off and back on the lights will go away and you can resume activity as usual. The cars lights and horn goes crazy even when you are not in the vehicle or driving it and does not have to be on when it does this. Now the vehicle has a service engine light on and diagnostics have been done and one part has been changed but this did not resolve the issue which was a purge solenoid and the oil filter housing which also did not resolve the issue. This vehicle is very dangerous to drive as it will go into limp mode while driving it.

PTU completely bad...just purchased the vehicle and it went bad less than a month after

Electric Throttle Control. It will stop working randomly and when accelerating on the highway on the on ramp it will die down and go no more than 35 mph and will also do this when merging into traffic.. very dangerous

Once I stop my vehicle doesn’t accelerate normally and jerks right after. Also the service shifter light came on and won’t go off.

Pressing on the gas and the car does not move. Randomly stops and I would have to turn it off and back on in order for it to drive.

While in first and second gears, the car doesn't seem to know which gear to shift to. It jerks in and out of both gears and is even worse on inclines. Happens mostly under 15mph.

Transmission control module and speed control I couldn't exsellerate while driving in traffic and my car would lock up in neutral and wouldn't allow me to turn off the engine and it was flashing all sorts of problems at once, it would also jerk when I shifted the mechanic first told me I needed a battery and then said I needed a flash update and when none of those problems resulted in fixing my car he then said my Transmission control module was bad so now my car is inoperable so I took it to the dealership and I'm waiting for results. When I'm driving on the freeway I sometimes lose speed or my car would shift into neutral and then jerk when I try to put it back in driving and at times it wouldn't start or become difficult to slow down at an intersection or stop light, my husband is disabled so when it jerks it causes him to hit his head on the passenger side window because he has lost a lot of motor control on his right side due to having a severe stroke it's unsafe for us to drive this car not knowing if it's going to stall, jerk, speed-up or shift into another gear or not completely stop at an intersection because it becomes hard to press the break.

THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT POPPED ON ONLY AFTER HAVING IT FOR 2 MONTHS.

Car stalls multiple times over the last month. With zero warning it died in front of my wife in ongoing traffic. Multiple error messages are on dash. Restarts when shutting car off then back on.

When I go to put the the vehicle in park and reverse it wants to shift really hard, not really a shift but more of a jerk. It doesn’t happen every time but it does 50 percent of the time. There was this one time where i went to go put it in reverse and it wanted to rev more then usual. When it MAINLY shifts hard is when I first turn it on and start moving a couple feet it wants to fall on its face. We haven’t had any incidents in it yet but I wanted to see if I could get anything done before any. Me and my boyfriend travel a lot and when we are in traffic it has fallen on its face. There is a gas cap light that keeps coming on and I have replaced my gas cap 2 times.

Service Shifter lights up on the instrument panel as well as the check engine also stop/start not ready. 4x4 not available exhilarates and UN exhilarates all by its own. Shifts hard and jumps hard when I take off at a stop light don't wanna come out of park unless I take my finger and flip up a plastic thing down inside the shifting housing. And the key fobe won't come out of the key switch. No it hasn't been in a crash yet but it's one looking for a place to happen if jeep don't have a recall. Yes my jeep has been confirmed by the Dodge dealership in Lexington Kentucky. They say that it needs a new shifter put in it I'm taking it to the dealership this coming Thursday

While driving my jeep forward or in reverse my jeep launches forward very hard. I have to press on the brake abruptly so that I don't hit anything. Also when accelerating my speedometer shows the numbers increasing but my wheels are barely moving then it kicks forward abruptly. When turning or going over bumps I feel a pop in the steering column and sometimes the dashboard icon with the vehicle & squiggly lines under it appears. I told my dealership but the mechanic just said there is nothing wrong with it even though I know there is.

I WAS AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION GETTING READY TO TURN LEFT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE AUTO START CAUTIOUS SYMBOL SHOWED UP ON THE DASH AND THE ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON RIGHT BEFORE MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARDS BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF GETTING HIT. PUT THE JEEP INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER INTO A SHOPPING CENTER AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T LEAKING ANYTHING AND TO GIVE IT TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T SHUT OFF AGAIN. THEN THE NEXT DAY IT WAS SHAKING REALLY BAD IN IDLE AND KEPT THROWING THE SAME AUTO START CAUTION LIGHT ON THE DASH. THEN HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN TAKEN TO MECHANIC SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACK FOR CYLINDER 2 WERE CHANGED BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY IN NOVEMBER 2020 I HAD ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND SET IT AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. A SEMI TRUCK CHANGED INTO MY LANE WITHOUT BLINKER WARNING. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CRUSE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I THEN BEGAN PUMPING THE BRAKES AND STILL NO DISENGAGEMENT. AS I APPROACHED THE BACK END OF THE SEMI PRIOR TO HITTING IT, I DROVE OFF THE FREEWAY DOWN THE DESCENDING EMBANKMENT STILL PUMPING THE BRAKES WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS I BEGAN SLIDING DOWN THE EMBANKMENT I BRAKES DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL JUST BEFORE A COLLISION WITH THE DIVIDER.

MY JEEP IS HAVING TRANNY ISSUES AND IS MAKING VERY LOUD ENGINE SOUND DUE TO THE TRANNY LAGGING,WHICH IS MAKING MOTOR REV REALLY HIGH,AND SOMETIMES IT IS NOT PREDICTABLE,WHICH AT THAT POINT CAUSES THE MOTOR TO BE SOMETIMES REAL JERKY OR JUMPY RANDOMLY CAUSING IT NOT TO RUN RIGHT!..OR HAVE A ROUGH RIDE OR IT'S SHIFTING TO SHIFT RIGHT OR EVEN TO GO TO THE NEXT GEARS..SEAMS LIKE SOMETIMES,IT WANTS THE MOTOR TO BLOW UP !!!

THE SERVICE SHIFTER ALERT COMES ON EVERY TIME I START THE CAR ALMOST. IT STARTED PERHAPS A MONTH AGO OR SO. IT WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD CLEAR IT OFTEN BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVERTIME. IT NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE. I WORRY THAT IT MAY GO OUT AND THE POLAR IS VERY GENERIC. THAT'S CALLED A COUPLE OF MECHANICS INCLUDING DEALER AND THEY'RE EQUALLY GENERIC ABOUT WHAT IT MAY BE, AND JUST TO GET IT LOOKED AT WILL COST ME $120 AN HOUR. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS THERE WITHIN MY POWER TO TROUBLESHOOT WAS TO MAKE SURE FIRMWARE WAS UP-TO-DATE AND I HAVE DONE THAT BUT THE ALERT IS STILL THERE.

I PURCHASED MAY JEEP CHEROKEE IN DECEMBER 2017. ON THE FIRST HOT DAY OF MAY 2020, I WENT INTO MY CAR, AND NOTICED THE DASHBOARD AREA ALONG WITH THE VENTS, HAD BEGAN TO MELT! IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE, BUT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE SUN. WHEN I TOUCHED THE VENT, MY FINGERS WERE COVERED IN THIS BLACK, GOOEY SUBSTANCE. NOT ONLY IS THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR DESTROYED, BUT MY CONCERN IS WHETHER THIS SUBSTANCE IS HAZARDOUS. ARE THERE CHEMICALS IN THE PAINT OR ANY TOXIC ELEMENTS? I HAVE SHOWED THE PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEM TO MANY PEOPLE. AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME ANSWER, WHICH IS, "I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE." I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED MY JEEP. MY AGENT IS CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO THIS. THE SECOND PROBLEM INVOLVES THE SHIFTER. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ARE LIT UP. I HAVE ALREADY HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE I THOUGHT I WAS IN "PARK" BUT IT TURNED OUT I WAS IN REVERSE. I FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN MY RESEARCH.*DT*JB*DT*JB*DT*JB*DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING, THE JEEP WILL TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY DUE TO THE ENGINE BURING TOO MUCH OIL. IT CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY STOPS AND CAUSES OTHER CARS TO SWIRVE OR TO HIT THE CAR. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE IS NO WARNING TO IT AND NO OIL LIGHT TO TELL ME THE ENGINE IS LOW OF OIL. IT ALSO HAS SEVERAL OTHER WARNINGS THAT COME ON FOR NO REASON. THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STOP THE CAR FROM GOING INTO PARK, AGAIN CAUSING THE CAR AND PASSENGERS TO BE IN DANGER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, EITHER GOING FAST OR SLOW. IT COMES WITHOUT WARNING AND WHEN I CALL ABOUT IT, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG.

WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP CAR HESITATES OR JERKS, SOMETIMES CLUNKS OR GRINDS. DOES THE SAME THING WHEN TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE, PULLING OUT AT A STOP LIGHT DOES THE SAME THING.

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4, WHEN I TRY TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SPEED UP. IT IS LIKE YOU ARE GIVING IT GAS INSTEAD OF APPLYING THE BREAK. IT WAS PURCHASED WITH AROUND 13500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER ON 9-22-2018, IT NOW HAS 21360 MILES AS OF 11-27-2018. THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE AND ACTED AS IF IT WAS NOT IN ANY GEAR. IT HAS SEAMED TO HAVE ISSUES FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED IT AND I WAS TOLD BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS JUST THE NORMAL WAY THAT THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION WORKED. IF THIS IS NORMAL FOR A TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AT 21000 MILES I FEEL THAT IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND A HUGE ISSUE.

Mileage: 21,355

THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD WHEN STOPPED AND HAS STARTED THE CAR HAS PHYSICALLY STARTED JUMPING FORWARD WHILE AND SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE CHANGING FROM ONE GEAR TO THE NEXT. I HAD THE CAR IN WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAS DONE THIS OFF AND ON SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR.

Mileage: 72,000

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL, AND IT SHOWS ON MY BOARD AS " SERVICE TRANSMISSION". IT CAN NOT SPEED UP SUDDENLY. THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER I PARKED AND DRIVE. IT HAPPENED TWICE ALREADY ON THE HIGHWAY. FEEL VERY DANGEROUS.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR A RECALL ON MY JEEP CHEROKEE 2015 INVOLVING THE CRUISE CONTROL. I SCHEDULED THE SERVICE AT BILL LUKE JEEP IN TWO WEEKS. THE EVENING BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THEY COULD NOT PERFORM THE SERVICE DUE TO HAVING "TOO MANY" CARS AT THE SHOP. I HAVE NOW MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS NOW DELAYED MY GETTING THIS CORRECTED BY 10 DAYS.

I NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST JEEP. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2015 CHEROKEE IS AWFUL AND A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE JERKS AROUND SO MUCH WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, I'M CONCERNED IT'S EVENTUALLY GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IN TRAFFIC IT PUNCHES FORWARD AND STOPS ABRUPTLY BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS. IT'S AWFUL THAT I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE I'M ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE. ANYTIME I HAVE A PASSENGER THEY COMMENT ON HOW THE CAR JERKS AND UNPLEASANT IT IS TO RIDE IN. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME GETTING A LEMON AND SOMETHING I HAVE TO DEAL WITH BUT I WENT ONLINE TODAY AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER 2015 CHEROKEE LATITUDE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO MANY ACCIDENTS.

JEEP CHEROKEE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE CAR HAS HAD ACCELERATION ISSUES FROM THE VERY START. BUT RECENTLY AT ONLY 38K MILES THE TRANSMISSION TOTALLY FAILED ON ME AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS FAILURE WAS VERY DANGEROUS BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR A LONG WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO BE FINE. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF, BUT I STILL PLAN ON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AFTER READING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND TENDS TO REOCCUR. MY WIFE IS NOW SCARED TO USE THIS CAR. HOW CAN A COMPANY GET AWAY WITH CHEATING CUSTOMERS THIS WAY?

Mileage: 38,000

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND SOMETIMES SKIPS GEARS. IT WILL SHIFT VERY LATE AND DO A JOLT AND IT FEELS LIKES I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR, GIVES A SLIGHT WHIPLASH FEELING TO THE PASSENGERS. SOMETIMES WHEN I GO FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE BACK WHEELS LOCK UP AND THE BACK HALF OF THE CAR LOWERS TO THE GROUND WHILE THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE RISES. THE VEHICLE ALSO SOMETIMES ACCELERATES ON ITS' OWN WHEN I DON'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS. I CAN BE DRIVING AT ANY POINT AROUND 20-30MPH AND MY RPMS WILL JUMP TO 3000+ AND THE ENGINE MAKES LOUD NOISES LIKE IT IS BEING OVERWORKED TO GO 20 MPH AND IT WILL STAY LIKE THAT FOR A GOOD 4-8 SECONDS. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE DRASTICALLY DECREASED THE MPG MY CAR GETS. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE "START/STOP" FEATURE ALSO HAS MANY PROBLEMS. IF I FORGET TO TURN IT OFF I CAN BE AT A RED LIGHT AND ONCE IT TURNS GREEN I LET GO OF THE BRAKE AND GO TO HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF STARTING BACK UP, TAKES ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1-3 SECONDS TO STARTUP. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANYMORE. IT WAS FINE UP UNTIL ABOUT 30,000 MILES, BUT IT HAS GONE DOWN HILL SINCE THEN. I AM AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES RIGHT NOW.

MY CAR HAS EXACTLY 50,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IMPECCABLY TO START. ON MARCH 30TH AFTER IT HAD RAINED THE PREVIOUS DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON THE BONNET CARRE SPILLWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH MY LIFT GATE SEEMED TO UNLATCH AND END RESULT MY BACKPACK CONTAINING MY LAPTOP HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF TEXTBOOKS AND MY APPLE IPAD FLEW OUT. WHEN I PULLED OVER THE LIFT GATE REFUSED TO HATCH AS WELL AS THE BUTTON IN THE CAR AND ON THE FOB TO CLOSE THE TRUNK WOULD NOT WORK. NOT ONLY HAVE I LOST AT LEAST $850 WORTH OF MY ELECTRONICS AND TEXTBOOKS I AM LEFT WITH THE RISK THAT ANYONE CAN GET IN MY CAR VIA THE LIFT GATE THAT WILL NOT CLOSE AND POTENTIALLY STEAL MY CAR. ON APRIL 2ND 2018 AFTER LEAVING WORK FROM THE HOSPITAL I WAS DRIVING ON REGULAR TRAFFIC ROADS BETWEEN 35-55 MILES PER HOUR AND MY JEEP WAS SHIFTING INTO NEAUTRAL SLOWING DOWN AND THE RPM GAUGE WAS ACCELERATING TO 4-5 FOR ONLY 35 MILES PER HOUR. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL IN WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY ANYONE AND MY VIN WAS INELIGIBLE BUT IF IT WAS I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR AND PAY FOR THE EXPENSE OF A RENTAL CAR. I AM A WIDOWED MOTHER AND A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO JEEP AS THIS IS MY THIRD JEEP AND I AM STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT IS RIDDLED WITH CONSTANT RECALLS THAT IS UNSAFE FOR MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 15 MONTH CHILD AND I AM ON A SINGLE INCOME AND UNABLE TO PAY FOR REPAIR EXPENSES OR A RENTAL CAR AND I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO MISS WORK OR SCHOOL. CAN YOU INFORM ME WHY MY VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL AND I AM HAVING ALL THE ISSUES THAT ARE CURRENTLY RECALLED AND WHY WOULD I NOT BE REIMBURSED OR PROVIDED WITH THE NECESSARY FUNDS TO COVER THE REPAIR AND OR A RENTAL VEHICLE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHWEST DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER (10600 SW CANYON RD, BEAVERTON, OR 97005) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LITHIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF PORTLAND (633 NE 12TH AVE, PORTLAND, OR 97232) WHERE A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS DETECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

BRAKE PEDAL THAT SLINGS FORWARD AFTER RELEASING AND MAKING A SLAMMING NOISE, PLASTIC PARTS JUST FALLING OFF INSIDE FROM UNDER THE DASH, THE TRIM FALLING OFF ON THE OUTSIDE, THE OBVIOUS TRANSMISSION, THE POWER LIFTGATE RELEASING AND REFUSING TO CLOSE ON ITS OWN, THE DISPLAY SCREEN BLINKING AND OCCASIONALLY REFUSING TO RESPOND, THE TIRE PRESSURE GAGE INDICATING A WARNING OF PRESSURE TO 51PSI THEN SECONDS LATER CHANGING TO 31PSI (THIS ONE OCCURED AFTER THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE), GPS IS UNBELIEVABLY UNRELIABLE, UCONNECT TAKES CONTROL WHEN NOT GIVEN PERMISSION, START/STOP BUTTON DOES NOT WORK EVERYTIME. SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF HAS BEEN DIFFICULT. ALT FEATURE DOES NOT WORK ABOUT HALF THE TIME, BATTERY HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWO TIMES. THE INSIDE LINER AROUND THE ROOF NOT ATTACHED, THE LEFT BACK WHEEL THE TRIM IS POPPED OFF. THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO GO WHEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION 4 DAYS AGO AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION.

TRANSMISSION SLAMMING HARD IN RD3 AND 4TH GEAR IN MOTION, ENGINE STALLING AT STOP, REFUSING TO START. ALL TRIM FALLING OFF INSIDE AND OUT. TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG. TOOK BACK AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER THEY SAID SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD FIX IT. FIXED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN ALL STARTED AGAIN. THEY DIDN'T EVEN ADDRESS THE TRIM AND LINER ISSUE. GPS ALSO COMPLETELY OFF AND IT WONT UPDATE EITHER. I PURCHASED THIS IN 2016 DEC. THE ENTIRE THING IS JUST FALLING APART PLASTIC PIECES ARE FALLING OUT FROM UNDER THE DASH! CANT GET HELP AND PAID 2500 EXTRA FOR WARRANTY THEY WONT FIX A NON FIXABLE ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES WHEN I AM TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. THIS HAPPENED TOP ME WHILE DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE WHEN CAR WAS ALMOST BRAND NEW, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FLASHED THE SYSTEM. SAID IT WAS A RECALL. CAR DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE BUT NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

Mileage: 55,000

I PARKED THE JEEP AND TURNED IT OFF AND WHEN INSIDE FOR 10 MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR TO LEAVE AND A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON LIKE SERVICE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN. I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND A HUGE CLUNK FROM THE TRANSMISSION HAPPENED I BACKED UP AND PUT IT IN FORWARD AND A HUGE CLUNK HAPPENED AGAIN. IT SHOCKED THE WHOLE CAR. I WENT FORWARD AND IT BARLEY WOULD GO. IT TOOK ALONG TIME TO GET UP TO SPEED. IT KIND OF SHOOK AND WAS REALLY SCAREY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND BARELY MADE IT. THE GUY SAID THE TECHS WHERE ALL GONE FOR THE DAY. I COULDN'T LEAVE IT THERE SO I STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT WORKED FINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON THOUGH. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED IT UP AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. IT WORKED FINE FOR 3 DAYS UNTIL IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN THE SAME STUFF. SO I TURNED IT OFF AND STARTED IT 10 MINUTES LATER AND IT WAS FINE. IT IS A LEASED JEEP AND I AM GOING TO BRING IT IN THIS FRIDAY. I WANT THIS FIXED. I HAVE READ LOTS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH 100S OF OTHER PEOPLE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE JUST GIVING PEOPLE THE RUN AROUND. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I WANT A NEW JEEP OR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT HAVE ANY TIME TO BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL THE TIME OR DO I WANT TO DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENS A THAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING IS THAT IT WILL SHIFT OUT OF GEAR ON THE FREEWAY AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE ALMOST CRASHED BECAUSE OF THIS. THANK YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WILL DO ABOUT THIS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH, THE CAR GAVE ME A "TRANSMISSION SERVICE" ALARM AND THEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED. NO RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION AND EVENTUALLY TO STEERING CONTROL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES, TURNED THE KEY AND THEN THE CAR STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITH NO ISSUES. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED WITH CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM OVERSEAS MILITARY SALES IN SICILY, ITALY AND THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN SICILY.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. I HAD TO PULL OVER, PUT IT IN PARK, THEN BACK INTO DRIVE TO GET IT TO MOVE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIME UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP NORTH OF ATLANTA GEORGIA. WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, MY SON AND I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY APPARENTLY KNEW IMMEDITATELY THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION. MY VEHICLE NEEDED APPROXIMATELY 7 UPDATES TO THE COMPUTER!! MY SON AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE MIDDLE OF CITY TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF A COMPUTER! I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHY I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS COULD HAPPEN AND HE SAID THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL AND THERE IS ALSO NO WARNING THIS WILL HAPPEN OR IF IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM TERRIFIED OF THIS CAR THAT I CAN NOT GET RID OF NOW! NOW I SEE THAT SOME OTHER CHEROKEES CAN SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATE AND THEN GO INTO PARK ON ITS OWN? ANOTHER COMPUTER ISSUE? I HATE THIS CAR NOW AND IT TERRIFIES ME TO HAVE MY FAMILY IN IT. WE GOT IT TO TRAVEL FROM FL TO CT AND NOW I WILL NO LONGER TAKE THE CHANCE WITH MY FAMILY'S LIVES.

TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON INTERSTATE, LOST POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE. TO REPAIR A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS RUN ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE VERIFIED THAT NO RECALL EXISTED FOR MY VEHICLE DESPITE THE FACT THAT TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE PROBLEM WAS KNOWN BY CHRYSLER. SOME VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT CONTAINS THE SAME 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THERE WAS HESITATION BETWEEN THE TIME THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED. ALSO, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THERE WAS A HESITATION AND THEN THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

WHILE BRAKING THE CAR ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTS AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE NOTICED THE LONGER I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE I AM SLOWING DOWN AT HIGHER SPEEDS AT WELL. ALSO, A SLOW RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION AT TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE FLASHED AND UPDATED MY TRANSMISSION BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT IT WAS NOT. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE BECAUSE IT WILL SPEED UP BY ITSELF AND MERGING INTO HWY OR FAST MOVING TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 23,220

PURCHASED VEHICLE NOV 2014, SHORTLY AFTER I NOTICED IT WOULD SHIFT IRREGULARLY AND THE VEHICLE TENDED TO CRUISE ON ITS OWN WHEN OFF THE GAS. WHAT MADE ME TAKE TO THE DEALER WAS I NOTICED THAT WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE RPMS OF THE ENGINE WILL INCREASE AND CAUSE THE CAR TO START GOING FASTER WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. SO I TOOK TO THE DEALER. DEALER DID NOT INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. THEY PREFORMED SOFTWARE UPDATES. NONE FIXED THE ISSUE. TIME PASSED, THE JEEP STARTED TO DEVELOP MORE NOISES IN THE TRANSMISSION, IT STARTED TO PUT GEARS HARSHLY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AFTER IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME ISSUES. DEALER CLAIMED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH UPDATES. NEW TRANSMISSION AND SAME ISSUES. JEEP TRIES TO CRUISE WHEN OFF THE GAS, TRIES TO ACCELERATE WHEN SLOWING OR BRAKING, RPMS GO UP WHEN SLOWING, NOISES COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION, IRREGULAR SHIFTING, DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A NEW CAR. TOOK TO THE DEALER ABOUT 3-4 MORE TIMES SINCE TRANSMISSION SWAP FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES AND NOTHING GOT BETTER. THE JEEP IS ACTUALLY GETTING WORSE. NOW IT HAS STARTING SLAMMING IN GEARS WHEN COMING TO A STOP, HAS SOME SORT OF WOBBLE WHEN ACCELERATING, NOISES FROM THE FRONT (SOUNDS LIKE CLUTCHES SLIPPING OR SOMETHING) AND DEALER HAS NO FIX. I HAD A RIDE ALONG WITH DEALER REP AND THEY CLAIM ITS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE, THAT ITS SOFTWARE AND I MUST WAIT FOR UPDATES. IT IS NOW OCT 20, 2016 AND I HAVE LOST COUNTLESS TIME AND MONEY TRYING TO GET THIS JEEP CORRECT. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE DEALER TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK AND THEY DO NOT. I OPENED A CASE WITH FCA WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS SWAPPED AND THEY HAVE NOT HELPED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. WHY SHOULD I BE STUCK WITH A FAULTY AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE? FCA AND DEALER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SALE OF A FAULTY VEHICLE AND REFUND ME IN FULL. THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A LEMON FROM DAY ONE

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK 9/20/2016. MY SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER IN MY GAS PEDAL. WOULD NOT GO. I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK. PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MORE MILES THEN DID IT AGAIN. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE MECHANIC. THE COMPUTER SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE. HE RESET IT AND UPDATED IT. I GOT IT BACK LAST NIGHT. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK TODAY NAD IT WAS FINE UNTIL I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT DID IT AGAIN, LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. I HAVE READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I WILL BE TRADING THIS VEHICLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

MY JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 2015 ACCELERATE IT SELF . IT'S UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER CAN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE RPM COME BACK TO 1000 YOU CAN FEEL HOW THE TRANS JUMP AND THE CAR ACCELERATE IT SELF.

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ABOUT 1 HOUR INTO TRIP, VEHICLE STARTED EMITTING TRANSMISSION WARNINGS AND PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION AND SAYING TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. VEHICLE LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. PLACED CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED - ERRORS STILL EMITTING AND SHIFTING IN TO DRIVE CAUSED THE CAR TO JOLT. TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE NEW AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING THE JEEP WE STARTED TO NOTICE WHAT I WOULD CALL HORRIBLE LAG ISSUES. THE CAR WOULD DRIVE JERKY AND WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A STOP AND YOU APPLIED THE GAS TO GO, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING THE GAS AND WILL HAVE A HARD TIME ACCELERATING. WE TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY DETECTED THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY DID A COMPUTER UPDATE. SHORTLY AFTER, THE JEEP STARTED A VERY SCARY SELF ACCELERATION WHERE THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND TAKE OFF WITHOUT APPLYING GAS OR HAVING FOOT ON GAS PEDAL. THE JEEP WOULD LUNGE SO VIOLENTLY AND IT WAS HARD TO MAKE IT STOP AND TRIED TO LUNGE THRU THE BRAKING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK IT SEVERAL TIMES AS BOTH OF THESE ISSUES HAPPEN AND MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. MY DAUGHTER WAS ALMOST IN A HORRIBLE COLLISION WITH A LARGE TRUCK AND REAR ENDED BECAUSE THE CAR WAS LAGGING SO BAD MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN FROM A RED LIGHT. THANKFULLY THE TRUCK WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND US AND WE DIDN'T GET HIT. WE INITIATED THE LEMON LAW ON THIS JEEP AS IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE JEEP HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICING MANY TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH EXACT FRIGHTENING CONCERNS. VERY UPSETTING AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION FOR ALL THE TIMES THE CAR HAS BEEN TO SERVICE FOR THIS AND THEY UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY HAVE OTHER JEEPS WITH SAME CONCERNS.

I PURCHASED MY JEEP AT GARDEN CITY JEEP ON 06/06/16 & THE VEHICLE TEST DROVE FINE (FOR THE 10 MINUTES I GOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE). UPON OWNING IT FOR A FEW DAYS I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 0-20MPH SPECIFICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTED BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND GEAR WHEN GOING BOTH STRAIGHT OR MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I ALSO NOTICED VERY POOR TRANSMISSION SHIFTING PRIMARILY AT LOW SPEEDS, IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, IN PARKING LOT (TRAVELING SLOW), WHEN REVERSING, & EVEN WHEN TRAVELING AT MODERATE SPEEDS (30-60MPH) WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT UP & DOWN BETWEEN 4TH, 5TH, & 6TH. THE TRANS WOULD JERK, TUG, & CLUNK INTO GEAR SOMETIMES MORE NOTICEABLE THEN OTHERS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER & THE WOBBLE WAS FIXED. IN ADDITION THE DEALER FLASHED THE SOFTWARE ON MY TRANS & FOR THE FIRST DAY IT FELT CONSIDERABLY BETTER HOWEVER AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 2 WEEKS THE TRANS FELT VERY SLUGGISH AGAIN. THE CAR NOW JERKS BETWEEN 1ST, 2ND, & 3RD GEAR AGAIN PRIMARILY AT LOW SPEEDS OR DURING GENTLE ACCLERATION...IT ALSO SEEMS TO FEEL VERY SLUGGISH IN 4TH & 5TH GEAR WHEN THE CAR IS COASTING AROUND 30-55MPH...ANY ACCELERATION AFTER LETTING THE CAR COAST CAUSES THE TRANS TO JERK INTO GEAR. ALMOST 100% OF THE TIME NOW WHEN I AM WAITING AT A RED LIGHT, OR AM STOPPED ON THE ROAD FOR ANY REASON, & THEN NEED TO ACCELERATE UNLESS I ACCELERATE VERY AGGRESSIVELY THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS SHIFTING 3 TO 5 TIMES HOWEVER THE CAR IS ONLY IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. IT ALMOST SEEMS AS IF IT IS SHIFTING UP, UP, DOWN, UP ALL OVER THE COURSE OF 1-2 SECONDS. SOMETIMES THIS CAN BE VIOLENT ENOUGH TO JERK MY HEAD FORWARD & BACK. SEPARATELY, UPON DECELERATION THE RPMS WILL SPIKE 500-1000 RPMS WHEN LETTING IT COAST & DOWNSHIFT ON ITS OWN & THE CAR WILL ACTUALLY SPEED UP ON ITS OWN. SEPARATELY, WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER COASTING THE TRANS LAGS AND I RECEIVE NO POWER UNTIL 1-2 SECONDS EITHER.

TAKATA RECALL, HAVING ISSUES WITH THE COMPUTER STATING THAT THE VEHICLE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS DISABLED AND OFF, THEN WAS SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT ON 6/16/16 AND ITS LIKE THE VEHICLE CUT OFF ( TO SAVE ENERGY) AND THEN WHEN IT CUT BACK ON IT HAD ACCELERATED CAR TO MAKING ME HIT SOMEONE IN THE REAR END. UNSURE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON BUT DEALER SHIP LAST DID OIL CHANGE AT 17,000 MILES AND IT CAME OUT WITH CHECK ENGINE ON AND THEY SAID NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND CLEARED THE CODE OUT. THEN THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MESSAGE KEEPS COMING UP ( EVEN WHEN NOT IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE HAVEN'T EVEN HIT THE BUTTON TO SWITCH IT OVER) ILLUMINATES ON MESSAGE CENTER. SEEMS LIKE CAR HAS ISSUES WITH SOMETHING COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL BUT MOST OF ALL HOW SAFE IS THIS VEHICLE IF CAN REV UP AND ACCELERATE WITHOUT TOUCHING GAS PEDAL. HAVE MODERATE DAMAGE TO FRONT END OF CAR, TOW HOOK WAS PUSHED BACK INTO THE FRONT OF IT AND CANT OPEN HOOD HAVING ADJUSTER LOOK AT TODAY AND TAKE TO GARAGE UNSURE AS TO WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY BUT DOESN'T SEEM VERY SAFE AND IT HIT PRETTY HARD BUT AIRBAG ON DRIVER SIDE DIDN'T DEPLOY MAKES IT SCARY TO THINK WHAT IF IT DECIDES TO DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING NOW...

PURCHASED JEEP AND HAVE HAD SAFETY ISSUES WITH INCONSISTENT SHIFTING SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEALER 19 TIMES FOR SHIFTING ISSUES AND OTHER COMPLAINTS. AT THE PRESENT TIME I CONTINUE TO HAVE A "SERVICE SHIFTER" LIGHT COME ON IN THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. YOU CAN TRY TO RESET THE SHIFTER TO LET THE COMPUTER TRY TO RECOGNIZE THE ERROR, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK. TECHNICIANS HAVE TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT ON AS THE CAR MAY SHIFT IN A DIFFERENT GEAR OR EVEN REVERSE. CHRYLSER STAR TECHNICIANS KEEP RESETTING THE SOFTWARE, HOWEVER THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME BACK ON RANDOMLY. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS AND FEARS WITH THE SHIFTING, HOWEVER THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM NOR HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE SO THEY CONTINUE TO RESET THE COMPUTER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHT WILL COME ON NOR WHAT IT WILL DO. FOUND ERROR CODES U146500 AND P1C861D. PERFORMED FLASH UPDATES. DATES OF ISSUES: 6/29/15, 07/17/15, 09/06/15, 12/01/15. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH INCONSISTENT SHIFTING AND TAKE OF. YOU CAN TRY TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO BUT THE RPM'S WILL RISE. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY TAKE OFF AFTER A 4-5 SECOND DELAY. THIS HAS CAUSED ME GREAT FEAR AS SOMETIMES YOU WILL GO TO TURN AND THE CAR PAUSES BEFORE TAKING OFF. BY THE TIME IT DOES TAKE OFF YOU HAVE TURNED IN FRONT OF AN ONCOMING CAR. AGAIN CHRYSLER STAR TECHNICIANS HAVE TOLD ME I AM "OVER SENSITIVE" AND THE CAR FUNCTIONS AS ANY 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS DESIGNED TO DO.

WHEN PUSKING THE GAS PEDAL FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR HESITATES BEFORE ENGAGING AND THEN WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE, IT ACCELERATES AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN IT DOES NOT STOP AS QUICKLY BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL ENGAGED AT A HIGHER GEAR THUS MAKING REAR IMPACTS LIKELY. TRYING TO MAKE A TURN EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT IN A HIGH TRAFFIC CONGESTED AREA, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TO MERGE WITH THE TRAFFIC QUICKLY BECAUSE OF THIS HESITATION. I FEEL LIKE I AM TAKING MY LIFE IN MY HANDS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.

THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM A TURN OR OTHER SLOWING. WHEN I ADD POWER THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH FORWARD SOMETIMES SQUEALING THE TIRES. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING LEFT AHEAD OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS OR MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED BUT THE PROBLEM WAS MADE WORSE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. THE CHRYSLER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO NOT SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR UNLESS IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO "BOG DOWN" WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN. THIS IS VERY TROUBLING WHEN TURNING LEFT AHEAD OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE NATURAL REACTION IS TO ADD POWER. THIS CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR AND LURCH THE VEHICLE FORWARD. I'VE MADE A COMPLAINT THRU THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE CENTER. AFTER ANOTHER VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD "THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED." IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN WHY DID THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION? THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

AT CHECK-IN, CUSTOMER SERVC KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT; CONFIRMED IN TEST DRIVE. REPORTED STAR CASE #S1421000022, HALF-SHAFTS (LEFT & RIGHT AXLES) DEFECTIVE, NEED REPLACING. TOLD CAR WAS COMPLETELY SAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION. VERBAL & WRITTEN CONFIRM THAT PARTS WERE BEING MANUFACTURED AND WERE SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE 9-2015. TOLD BY SERVICE MGR, CHRYSLER ISSUED AN INTERNAL TSB 2-2015. PARTS WARPING WHEN HEATED AND FLUID LOSS OCCURS. ENTIRE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT PARTS HAVEN'T BEEN MANUFACTURED, CONTRACTED WITH COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES THE TRAILHAWK MODEL (NO PROBLEMS REPORTED ON THOSE PARTS). ASSURED CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT CHRYSLER REP AGREED TO PAY FOR RENTAL CAR FOR LONG TRIP I HAD PLANNED PRIOR TO PURCHASE. RESEARCHED -- I HAVE FOUND THIS ISSUE DATES BACK TO THE 2014 MODELS. BOTTOM LINE, THEY KNEW THIS PART WAS DEFECTIVE PRIOR TO SELLING ME THE CAR IN MAY. I AGREED TO BE PATIENT BUT IT IS NOW SEPT AND HAVE NOT HAD MY "STATUS UPDATE" INQUIRY PHONE CALL RETURNED. VIBRATION ISSUE GREW WORSE QUICKLY, TURNED INTO A WOBBLE. I CAN'T DRIVE IT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS ON HIGHWAYS. AS THE CAR/PARTS HEAT UP, THE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END IS A CONSTANT, NOT JUST ON TURNS. I FEEL AS IF THE AXLES WILL BREAK APART WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER CAR THAT I CAN USE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR SELLING CARS WITH A KNOWN DEFECT AND FORCING A BUYER TO PLACE THEIR LIFE IN JEOPARDY. OTHER ISSUES HAVE CROPPED UP. ENGINE RACES & DOESN'T ALWAYS SHIFT WHEN IT SHOULD; CRUISE CONTROL NOT CONSISTENT - LOSES SPEED. WHEN RETURNED TO SERVICE, TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM W/ CRUISE CONTROL, TOLD TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, COMPUTER IS "LEARNING" HOW I DRIVE. BRAKES SQUEAK AFTER RAIN, TOLD NORMAL BY SVC MGR.

CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS, GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND THEN WHEN IT FINALLY FINS THE RIGHT GEAR THE WHOLE VEHICLE BUCKS. REPORTED THE PROBLEM IN JANUARY, WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR THE RECALL UPDATE, WHICH DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL JUNE. HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2 MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE IN A NUMBER OR ACCIDENTS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ON TO HIGHWAYS OR PASS SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT MY SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND JEEP IS REFUSING TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HIT THE VEHICLE AND THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A THURSDAY MORNING, THE SAME ROUTE I ALWAYS TAKE, I AM VERY FIMILAIR WITH THE RAOD AND TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS STRAIGHT. WELL ON MY WAY, I GOT INTO A ACCIDENT, MY NEW JEEP HAS BEEN INTO THE SHOP A FEW TIMES FOR A RECALL, I HAVE ONLY HAD THE JEEP FOR 7 MONTHS AND HAVE HAD TO BRING IT IN 2 TIMES AND NOW A 3RD FOR AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ISSUE. ANYWAY, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY JEEP DOES THIS THING WHERE IT FEELS LIKE IT SHUTS OFF WHEN I AM STOPPED AND TURNS BACK ON WHEN I BEGIN TO MOVE, I NOTICED IT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE JEEP WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, I SAID OK FINE I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS SAFE BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS I PURCHASED THIS CAR. WELL ON THE WAY TO WORK, MY JEEP DID JUST THAT BUT LATELY IT IS DOING A JERKING MOVE WHEN IT STARTS TO ACCELARTE NOW, MAKING IT FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS JERKING AND ACCERATING ON ITS OWN WHICH RESULTED IN MY HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NOW THE JEEP WAS NOT GOING AT A FAST SPEED AT ALL, I AM VERY FAMILAIR WITH THE LOCATION SO I PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL HERE. I FELT MY JEEP DO THE JERK MOVEMENT AND WITH MY ACCERATION I AM CERTAIN THIS IS WHAT CAUSED ME TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG HERE AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

Mileage: 5,700

THE TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES HUNTS FOR THE PROPER GEAR. IT ALSO HAS TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP. I LIVE ON A MOUNTAIN AND WHEN DESCENDING I MANUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO 3RD GEAR, BUT WHEN I DO, THE CAR WILL SPEED UP BEFORE SLOWING DOWN. THIS WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM ON SNOW COVERED ROADS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT OTHER JEEP OWNER'S HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND RE-FLASHING THE CONTROL MODULE DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, SO I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE RE-FLASH. *JB

CAR TRANSMISSION FAILED, CAUSING US TO GET HIT NUMEROUS TIMES. CAN NOT ACCELERATE WHEN NECESSARY, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO FINE AND OTHER TIMES GAS PEDAL FLOORED AND GO NO WHERE.

WITH THE CRUSE CONTROL ON AND SET AT 60MPG WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL IT PICKS UP SPEED TO OVER 70MPH. GOING UP HILL IT VARIES AS MUCH AS 4MPH. THE CRUSE CONTROL DOES NOT CONTROL THE SPEED AS IT SHOULD, VERY DANGEROUS!

Mileage: 316

THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE AND RAISE RPM'S (SOMETIMES INCREASES SPEED BY 1MPH) BY ITSELF AT 26MPH WHILE COASTING FROM 30MPH OR GREATER . I'M PRETTY SURE THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING AT THIS POINT, BUT NO CAR I HAVE DROVE WILL ACCELERATE WHILE NOT PRESSING THE GAS. WHEN THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING FROM ANY OTHER SPEED, I CAN FEEL THE DOWNSHIFT HOWEVER THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE LIKE IT DOES AT 26MPH. ONLY AT 26MPH IT ACCELERATES AT THE DOWN SHIFT. SOMETIMES THE ACCELERATION IS GREATER THEN OTHER TIMES, BUT HAPPENS 95% OF THE TIME. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR AND IT NEEDS TO LEARN HOW I DRIVE. WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE IF THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF A CAR, IT IS A VERY UNSAFE ONE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN WHILE I'M EXPECTING IT TO DE-ACCELERATE. A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE ON MY CAR, BUT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED.

GOING DOWN HILL, THE CAR ACCELERATED 8 TO 12 MILES AN HOUR FASTER THAN THE CRUISE WAS SET FOR. CAR KEEPS ACCELERATING UNTIL YOU HIT THE BRAKE. DOES NOT HOLD THE SET CRUISE SPEED LIMIT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER 1 1/2 HOURS THEY TOLD ME MY CHEROKEE LIMITED WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH AN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE WRITER I JUST HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKE UNTIL THE DECLINE IS OVER AND THEN HIT RESUME ON THE PANEL. I KNOW THIS IS INCORRECT SO IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS? WE ARE TAKING A LONG DRIVE TRIP TO PENNSYLVANIA AND I WILL NEED THE CRUISE TO ENJOY MY TRIP. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION. UPDATED 10/15/15*JB

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 1,000 MILES. DEALER REPLACED WITH A REDESIGNED VERSION. I STARTED TO GET A WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY WERE REDESIGNING THE FRONT AXLES BUT THE FIX WASN'T OUT YET. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE METAL FRAME IN MY SUNROOF BROKE AND THE WEATHER STRIPPING FELL OUT AND I COULDN'T CLOSE THE SHADE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENTIRE SUNROOF ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS DEFECTIVE. THE WOBBLE CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND THE CAR WAS SHIFTING ROUGHER THAN EVER. I KEPT TELLING THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG, AND THEY SAID "THAT'S HOW THE NEW 9 SPEED TRANS BEHAVE". WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE SUNROOF REPLACEMENT I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE WOBBLE AND TRANS AGAIN, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT AXLE WAS INDEED BAD. THEY PUT IN THE REDESIGNED AXLES, AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE SUNROOF. I CONTINUE TO HAVE SERIOUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THEY PUT IN A NEW VALVE BODY AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. IT'S WORSE THAN EVER. I KEPT COMPLAINING TO JEEP AND ALL THEY SAID WAS "THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T REPLICATE YOUR PROBLEM." I ACTUALLY HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER IN THE CAR WITH ME AND HE VERIFIED THAT THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE PROPERLY- AND WHEN JEEP CALLED ME, THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. IT HESITATES WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS, THEN IT JERKS VERY HARD INTO SECOND GEAR, IT WILL ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN BECAUSE IT CAN'T FIND A GEAR TO DOWNSHIFT, AND THE ENGINE WILL SPONTANEOUSLY REV ON IT'S OWN IF I AM DESCENDING A HILL AND ITS TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT. THE CAR WILL LEAP FORWARD AND ACCELERATE UNTIL I PRESS THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH TO SLOW IT DOWN AND IT WILL FINALLY SHIFT. THE RPMS WILL GO UP FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER I'VE APPLIED THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE ALSO ROLLS SEVERAL INCHES AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK NOW.

LESS THAN 90 DAYS AFTER BUYING A NEW JEEP CHEROKEE I WATCHED IT TOWED AWAY B/C IT WAS UN-DRIVEABLE. IT BEGAN IN THE MORNING WHEN THE GEARS WERE NOT SHIFTING APPROPRIATELY. THEN A FEW HOURS LATER, THE ENGINE WOULD REV, AND CAR WOULD SPEED UP, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T PUSHING GAS PEDAL. THEN REVERSE FAILED. THEN THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. FINALLY, IT STOPPED SHIFTING UP -- I HAD TO FLOOR IT TO GO 5 MILES AN HOUR. I ULTIMATELY HAD TO COAST HOME. ....UPDATED 11/02/15*BF UPDATED 11/02/2017*CN

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER OF 2014. AROUND END MAY 2015 EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING. WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN BRAKE WOULD BE PRESSED DOWN BUT VEHICLES RPM'S WOULD REV UP AND VEHICLE WOULD START ACCELERATING FORWARD. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO SHOP AFTER FINALLY BEING ABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT ON 06/16/15. MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM AND RESET MODULE ON VEHICLE. BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP GAVE VEHICLE BACK TO US AND WE DROVE IT FOR TWO MORE DAYS AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. ON 06/18/2015 A DEER HAD ENTERED HIGHWAY AND WHILE BRAKING VEHICLE AGAIN ACCELERATED AND HIT THE DEER CAUSING FRONT END DAMAGE. PROBLEM COULD OF BEEN 100 TIMES WORSE BECAUSE THERE WERE ALSO BICYCLISTS ON ROAD AS WELL AS TRACTOR TRAILER TRAVELING BEHIND. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP VIA TOW TRUCK. TOW TRUCK DRIVER EVEN STATED THERE IS SOMETHING SEVERELY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE OFF FLAT BED HE PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE WENT FORWARD INSTEAD OF REVERSE PLUS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CAME ON BY ITSELF. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ARE DOING AN INVESTIGATION ON VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY. MY WIFE AND I JUST WANT THEM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT ONE BIT.

TWO INCIDENTS JEEP CHEROKEE WAS ON AUTOMATIC CRUISE CONTROL COME TO ALMOST STOP WHEN FRONT CAR TOOK A RIGHT TURN AND THIS CAUSED ALMOST REAR COLLISION. I WAS LIKE 30 FEET AWAY FROM THE FRONT CAR. ANOTHER INCIDENT: THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND ME AND CAR APPLIED BRAKES BY ITSELF AND CAUSES ALMOST PANIC AMONG THE FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE CAR AND REDUCED THE SPEED TO 45MPH.

VEHICLE HAS EXTREME HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM ANYTHING THAN A COMPLETE STOP TO THE POINT IN MAY STAND YOU IN BETWEEN LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS IT WILL DO SO VIOLENTLY CAUSING TIRE SPIN AND LOSS OF TRACTION/CONTROL.

I PURCHASED A 2015 CHEROKEE SPORT IN OCTOBER 2014. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTED SEVERAL RECURRING PROBLEMS. HAVING NEVER OWNED A BRAND NEW I THOUGHT PERHAPS THERE WAS SOME EARLY MILE GROWING PAINS BUT THESE PROBLEMS PERSIST. THE SCREEN MALFUNCTIONS AT WILL; SOMETIME THE REAR CAMERA IS ENGAGED WHEN DRIVING FORWARD, THE SCREEN LOCKS ON THE DISCLOSURE/ACCEPTANCE PAGE. VOICE RECOGNITION/COMMAND HAS NEVER WORKED. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP (REMINDS ME OF AN UNRULY DOG ON A LEASH TRYING TO LEAP FORWARD). DELAYED ACCELERATION WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED CAUSING IT TO SUDDENLY LEAP INTO MOTION RISKING HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU IN CITY TRAFFIC (I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES ? THIS IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING) OR A WALL BEHIND YOU (I BACK INTO MY PARKING SPACE). WHEN PARALLEL PARKING OR IN A 3 POINT SCENARIO (D-R-D) THE CAR, ALTHOUGH CLEARLY PLACED IN THE REVERSE THE CAR WILL ROLL FORWARD BEFORE REVERSING. OFTEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE, WAITING SEVERAL SECONDS (4 TO 5) BEFORE RELEASING THE BREAK WILL DO THE TRICK BUT JUST AS OFTEN, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. GEAR TRANSITIONS ARE SLOPPY. THIS CAR DOES NOT SHIFT IT LUNGES. I'M SURPRISED THE [XXX] THING DOESN'T BITE ALTHOUGH IT TRIES. I THOUGHT THESE WERE MY PET PEEVES BUT IT APPEARS I AM NOT ALONE. I WISH I HAD READ THESE EARLIER COMPLAINTS. I WOULD HAVE RETURNED IT TO POST HASTE. I HATE THIS CAR BUT AM NOT IN THE FINANCIAL POSITION TO BUY ANOTHER. PURCHASED FROM A DEALER 50 MILES AWAY (BEST PRICE) HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TAKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE FINALLY SCHEDULED 2-DAYS OFF FROM WORK TO TAKE IT IN. I WISH I WAS IN THE POSITION TO NOT JUST DROP IT OFF BUT LEAVE IT THERE. IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD NOT HESITATE. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I BOUGHT MY JEEP ONE MONTH AGO. RECENTLY I NOTICED THAT ENGINE REVS UP AND ACCELERATES BY ITSELF AS I AM TRYING TO STOP. I HAVE TO CONTROL THIS BY PRESSING THE BREAK A LITTLE HARDER. I AM AFRAID I WILL REAR END ANOTHER CAR. I HAD NO IDEA THIS PROBLEM WAS SO COMMON. NOW I WISH I HADN'T PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. *JS

MY VEHICLE INSTANTANEOUSLY PICKED UP SPEED WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP; MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. A QUICK JERKING MOTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL HAPPENED QUICKLY WITH THE ACCELERATION. THIS CAUSED ME TO PRESS MUCH HARDER ON MY BRAKES TO STOP MY VEHICLE FROM HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND VERY SCARY PROBLEM AND I AM GRATEFUL TO NOT HAVE CAUSED HARM TO ANYONE. MY GAS CONSUMPTION VARIES BECAUSE OF THE REQUIRED PEDAL PRESSURE SOMETIMES NEEDED TO ACCELERATE SINCE THE GEARS SEEM NOT TO SWITCH OVER AS THEY SHOULD. ALSO, MY RADIO HAS BEEN BLACKING OUT, TURNING OFF AND ON, AND FAILING TO WORK AT ALL. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TOMORROW FOR WHAT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME AS A NEEDED "SOFTWARE UPDATE." THIS IS A NEW TRUCK. MY JEEP HAS NOT YET MADE IT TO THE REQUIRED MILES FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE. (SIGH). *TR

WHILE BRAKING AT 24 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTS AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE NOTICED THE LONGER I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE I AM SLOWING DOWN AT HIGHER SPEEDS AT WELL. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE FLASHED AND UPDATED MY TRANSMISSION BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT IT WAS NOT. IT IS ACTING UP MORE THAN IT WAS BEFORE. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE AROUND A CURVE BECAUSE IT WILL SPEED UP BY ITSELF. *TR
