NHTSA Complaint #10780620 — 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE

PURCHASED THE 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE IN MARCH. HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW AND NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, IT WOULD ALSO LURCH AND STALL AND SHIFT VERY CLUNKY. 9/21 - HAD THE RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUES. 9/22 - DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHES AND THEN STOPS. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION, CHECK ENGINE AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WERE ALL FLASHING. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED AND WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF ON THE FREEWAY TO "REBOOT" IT AS IT WAS STUCK IN A PARKED POSITION BUT NOT POWERED OFF. 9/24 - EN ROUTE TO GET THE CAR SERVICED, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, IT LURCHES AND STOPPED AGAIN, THIS TIME CAUSING ME TO REAR-END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.
