NHTSA Complaint #11281425 — 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE

EVENT 1 (NOV 2019) WAS PASSING A CAR, GOING 68 ON FREEWAY, GOT INTO RIGHT LANE BACKED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO SLOW A BIT AND THE CAR STAYED IN "PASSING GEAR" REVVED UP HIGH ON THE TACH. AND WOULD NOT COME BACK DOWN UNTIL I TOOK MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS. EVENT 2 (NOV 18, 2019) STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, APPLIED GAS TO GO AND IT WENT NOWHERE. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING FAST, BUT I WAS NOT IN GEAR. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD WITH TWO QUICK HOPS A COUPLE OF TIMES THEN WENT INTO GEAR. EVENT 3 (NOV 20, 2019) GOING SLOW IN A PARKING LOT THE CAR JUST DIED ON ME. NO REASON. THIS JEEP HAS ONLY 28,000 MILES ON IT. IT SHIFTS HARD!! ACTUALLY GOES INTO GEAR AT TIMES SO ROUGH THAT IT MAKES ME LUNGE FORWARD, IT JERKS A LOT WHILE GOING SLOW LIKE IT'S NOT IN THE RIGHT GEAR. I AM GOING TO JEEP TOMORROW TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, BUT AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS, I SEE WHERE I MIGHT BE IN FOR A LONG HAUL.
