Consumer Description

I have a 2014 keep grand Cherokee. The car has made shifting noises and changed gears.The sensor goes on and then comes off.The car had suddenly lost power and then it makes a clinking sound and goes back to gear.. I was on the highway when this happened and almost got into a crash.This vehicle is not used often and well maintained.I took it to be checked from diagnostic and it read codes about a module and defective cranks.The shop informed me that many people were having the same issues and that there was a recall due to this.That the crank shift position was defective and causing transmission issues as well.He also stated that recalls for software issue that needed to be updated which many 2014 jeeps had the same issues. I called Chrysler to find out about the recalls and they stated that there were2014recalls for this but not my vin number.I informed them that I believe my car was also in need of this recall and defective parts because many of the things that were happening were the same as the recall and the model. They said they couldn’t help me and to take it to keep to be checked. I made an appointment and told Chrysler that the problems what the shop said about recalls and it software update.They stated that this has been happening but since my vin was not recalled yet that I would have to cover whatever cost to be fixed.I paid for it to be evaluated by them and they stated it is going to cost 8000 to repair because of the shift and it has a transmission replacement.My vehicle only has 61000 miles. I feel Chrysler is deceiving customers and also selling defective cars that can be fatal.They are not taking responsibility for defectives and leaving the consumer blindsided by costs.I paid a lot of money for this vehicle when purchased 35000 and I have only used 40000 miles in six years. My family and I could of lost our lives due to defective parts in vehicle.
