NHTSA Complaint #11045377 — 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE

VEHICLE RPMS REV UP TO 4000-5000 WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS ON CITY STREETS GOING 15-20MPH. VEHICLE RANDOMLY ACCELERATES WHEN NOT HITTING GAS AND VEHICLE NOT ON CRUISE CONTROL. VEHICLE JERKS WHEN CHANGING GEARS. VEHICLE ALSO STUDDERS WHEN PULLING OUT ON CITY STREETS. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON OCTOBER 21, 2017 WITH 34,000 MILES. TOOK VEHICLE TO CERTIFIED JEEP MECHANIC ON NOVEMBER 6, 2017 WITH MY COMPLAINT. THEY STATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE 'FLASHED'. I PICKED THE VEHICLE BACK UP AT 4:30PM. AFTER LEAVING IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AS I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL VEHICLE AS THEY WERE CLOSING AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. I PICKED THE VEHICLE BACK UP ON NOVEMBER 7, 2017. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE AS IT RANDOMLY ACCELERATES AND CUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THIS MODEL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I AM WORRIED IT'S GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY THREE SHORT WEEKS AND I'VE ALREADY HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE. I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT.
