Consumer Description

WHEN I START THE CAR IN THE MORNING STATIONARY, THE CAR LEAPS FORWARD AND THEN THE CAR ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. IVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUT DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE ISSUE SINCE THE ISSUE USUALLY ONLY OCCURS WHEN ENGINE IS COLD. ALSO, TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND REVS WHEN IN MOTION CHANGING SPEEDS USING CRUISE CONTROL. THE JEEP HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS SINCE IVE OWNED IT.
