NHTSA Complaint #11157134 — 2018 JEEP COMPASS

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AT TIMES, MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE SHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 5TH GEAR. NOTED TIMES ARE WHEN CRESTING A HILL (STAYS IN 4TH GEAR AT HIGHER RPM'S UNTIL CAR LEVELS OUT OVER THE HILL) AND ALSO WHEN CRUISING AT LOW SPEED (30-35MPH) WHEN RPM'S ARE LOW. ALL OTHER GEAR SHIFTS ARE SMOOTH. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR UPGRADES VIA COMPUTER. ONE UPGRADE WAS MADE BUT DID NOT CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT ANOTHER 2018 JEEP COMPASS WAS TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT DID THE SAME THING, GIVING THE IMPRESSION THAT 'THAT IS HOW IT IS.' THIS IS NONSENSE AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH STANDARD DRIVING PRACTICES.
