Consumer Description

WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 2ND TO 1ST AT AN INTERSECTION, THE TRANSMISSION SKIPS 2ND GEAR AND FINALLY DROPS INTO 1ST AT ABOUT 1-2 MPH. IF I ACCELERATE PRIOR TO COMING TO A FULL STOP, THE TRANSMISSION IS IN 3RD GEAR AND HAS INSUFFICIENT POWER TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO CAUSES A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE INTO FORWARD. NUMEROUS TIMES THERE IS A SHARP JERK WHICH CAUSES ME TO CONCENTRATE ON RETAINING CONTROL OF THE CAR AND LOSING AWARENESS OF MY SURROUNDINGS. THIS CAR IS ALSO WELL KNOW FOR HAVING AN EXTREME WOBBLE WHEN PULLED BEHIND AN RV - WHICH IS WHAT I PURCHASED IT FOR. I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THE WOBBLE YET AS I HAVEN'T HOOKED UP MY CHEROKEE WAITING FOR CHRYSLER TO RESOLVE THE VERY DANGEROUS WOBBLE PROBLEM. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION - SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN.
