Consumer Description

I NOTICED MY MOTOR WAS SURGING(REFINE UP) WHEN I WOULD BREAK AND THEN EVENTUALLY BREAK WHEN I CONTINUED TO BREAK. SO I TOOK TO STETLER DODGE YORK PA AND THE SAID THEY WEREN'T SURE BUT THERE WERE FLASH UPDATES THAT NEEDED DONE IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSMISSION SO THEY NEEDED TO KEEP THE JEEP. THEY KEPT THE JEEP CALLED AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED REPLACED SO THEY REPLACED. I PICK UP THE CAR DRIVE IT LESS THAN 5 MILES AND THE AUTO SHUT DOWN ALARM STARTED GOING OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE ALAR, WENT OFF. THE CAR THEN BEGINS TO REV AND WILL NOT SHIFT ITS AT 40 MPH AND AT 5 RAMS. THE AUTO START NO LONGER WORKS ECT... THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR I AM PAYING FOR AND WHEN I TAKE IT FOR THESE ISSUES THEY NOW TELL ME THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS CAR IS TURNING INTO A LEMON QUICK. TWICE IN THE SHOP AND OWN IT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. *JS
