NHTSA Complaint #10893744 — 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

THE TRANS STRUGGLES TO SHIFT THROUGH EVERY GEAR AND WONT SHIFT PAST 3RD GEAR, SOMETIMES EVEN STALLING ME IN TRAFFIC. FEELS LIKE IT DOESN'T CATCH THE NEXT GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I'VE BEEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION AND WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV AS IF IT'S IN NEUTRAL, BUT IT'S NOT. THEREFORE, THE ACCELERATION IS VERY WEAK. WHEN SWITCHING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, IT EITHER DOESN'T FULLY CLICK INTO DRIVE OR IT SELECTS ALL GEARS (PRND) IN WHICH I THEN HAVE TO PARK THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF, THEN RETRY A MINUTE LATER. I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS A MANUAL SO THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR IT TO STALL, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THE ISSUE STEMS FROM THE MAIN COMPUTER IN THE SHIFTER MODULE. AT TIMES, IT SEEMS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS EXPECTING ME TO SHIFT IT FROM GEAR TO GEAR, THEN IT FINALLY CLICKS AND MOVES TO THE NEXT GEAR ON ITS OWN.
