NHTSA Complaint #10910869 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD A ROUGH TIME SHIFTING. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT VIOLENTLY FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR AND ANYTIME YOU WOULD STOP ON AN INCLINE. WE HAVE HAD ALL THE NECESSARY RECALLS DONE TO THE VEHICLE BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN COMMUNICATING THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL I GET IS THAT WE ARE NOT USED TO THE 9 GEAR TRANSMISSION AND WE NEED TO GET USED TO IT. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN FOR THE FOURTH TIME TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT. ON A SECOND NOTE I HAVE ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN IN TO THE SHOP TO SEE WHY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO US ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERNS ME. THIS WOULD BE A DISASTER IF IT HAPPENS TO DIE WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND MORE SO WITH THE WAY I AM TREATED WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE PEOPLE GET INJURED.
