Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM MAY HAVE EXISTED WHEN WE PURCHASED CAR. BUT BEING THAT IT WAS NEW TO US, WE DID NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD OR BAD TRANSMISSION. I DID AT FIRST SAY SOMETHING TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FINE THAT THIS IS HOW IT NORMALLY IS. BUT THE SAME ISSUE THAT I HAVE FELT SINCE DAY NUMBER ONE OF OUR PURCHASE IS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT TODAY. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS THAT CHRYLSER JEEPS HAVE AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. THEY ALL FAIL FOR THE SAME EXACT REASONS. IT IS APPARENTLY AN INHERENT DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION.*AK
