Consumer Description
2014 JEEP CHEROKEE BOUGHT IN DECEMBER 2014 500MILES. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, CAR SHIFTING ERRATICALLY, LUNGING FORWARD AT STOPS, AND NOT ACCELERATING WHEN STEPPING ON GAS APPROPRIATELY. ON THE WAY TO WORK ONE DAY, CAR BOGGED DOWN IN TRAFFIC, TURNED OFF, WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON FOR OVER 30 MINUTES, TRYING TO START ALL LIGHTS AND CHECK ENGINE WARNINGS WERE GOING HAYWIRE. CAR FINALLY STARTED, GOT TO WORK, BUT CAR DID NOT START UP AGAIN AFTER MY SHIFT, HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO DEALER. THEY DID UPDATES AND COMPUTER RESETS, PICKED UP VEHICLE, ONLY FOR VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN ON THE LOT, THEY TOOK IT BACK IN ,AND KEPT IT OVER NIGHT. THEY FELT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT AGAIN ON THE WAY TO WORK, CAR STILL SHIFTING DANGEROUSLY, LUNGING FORWARD, AND HAS SHUT DOWN AGAIN. EVEN WHILE IN A DRIVE THRU, CAR LUNGED FORWARD ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME. CAR TAKEN BACK INTO DEALER, AGAIN THEY COMPLETED A TON OF RECALLS, AND UPDATES, SOME REPEATED FORM THE LAST FEW TIMES, I TOOK THE CAR IN. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5-6 TIMES NOW, WITH 2 CLAIMS ESCALATED TO JEEP/CHRYSLER. I AM PREGNANT, AND WITH THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC IS EXTREMELY, LUNGING FORWARD, SHIFTING ERRATICALLY, AND BOGGING DOWN WHILE ON HIGHWAY HAS ONLY BROUGHT FEAR TO MY SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF MY PREGNANCY, AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS DRIVING AROUND ME, AS I HOPE THIS CAN BE FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENS. I HAVE REQUESTED TO CLAIMS THAT THE CAR BE REPLACED, OR BE ISSUED A BUY BACK, SAFETY IS MY MAIN CONCERN ! THIS VEHICLE IS NO GOOD< AND SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN OR RESOLD !
