“ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS NUMBERING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS EXHIBITED THE HARD SHIFTING SLUGGISH SHIFTING AND JERKING SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE . BEGINNING IN AUGUST OF 2020 I NOTICED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THAT WHEN I WENT TO PULL OUT FROM A COMPLETE STOP MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO AND WOULD DROP INTO NEUTRAL SUDDENLY AND I WOULD HAVE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE TO GET IT TO MOVE AND HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE IN A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT ON TWO MULTIPLE OCCASIONS ON THE SAME DAY AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEEN THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL AND MAKE BUT MINE JEEP IS NOT INCLUDED BUT IT EXHIBITS THE SAME PROBLEMS AND IT HAS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL THAT NUMEROUS RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR.”

“I WAS DRIVING AND WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE WAS GOING ABOUT 42 AND MY CAR DROPPED THE GEAR AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 38MPH AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG AND I BRING IT TO OTHER MECHANICS AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE ISSUES ALL THE TIME WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE. I DRIVE WITH A SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR AND I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE. I AM SO FURIOUS WITH MY JEEP DEALERSHIP LOCATED ON ROUTE 88 IN BRICK NEW JERSEY. NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. MY SECOND ISSUE IS WITH THE LUG SCREWS IN THE TIRES THEY KEEP BECOMING 'SWOLLEN' AFTER REPLACING THEM CONSTANTLY I WAS TOLD YET AGAIN THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP TO KEEP REPLACING. AND LAST MY AIR BAGS CENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE THE DRIVER AIRBAG CENSOR KEEPS POPPING UP ON MY DASHBOARD.”

“WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE A WARNING SHOWED UP WHERE THE MILES WOULD BE SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER. THEN ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE GEAR SHIFT THE P N R AND D LIGHT WERE ALL ON I HAD TO PULL OVER PARK CUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN ONCE I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL”

“I AM GETTING RANDOM SOFTWARE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SOMETIMES THE CAR POWER FADES WHEN DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADS TO A STOP SO I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR. I NOW AVOID DRIVING ON FREEWAYS BECAUSE OF THIS. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING ON MAIN ROADS I GET A MESSAGE TO SAY THAT I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" TO CHANGE GEAR WHEN I WAS JUST DRIVING IN D AND DID NOT WANT TO CHANGE ANYWAY AS IT WAS IN AUTOMATIC NOT MANUAL. WHICH I DO NOT USE. AFTER THE MESSAGE THE CAR LOSES POWER AND I HAVE TO STOP TO PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" TO RESTART THE CAR TO CONTINUE ON MY JOURNEY, SOMETIMES I HAVE NO ISSUES. I HAVE REPORTED ISSUES PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THE CAR LOSING POWER WHICH WERE CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED AFTER A RECALL FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES. THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY UNSTABLE, UNPREDICTABLE, UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYWHERE. I FEEL UNEASY AS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY AND TODAY BUT I NEED THIS ISSUE ESCALATED. I HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE USE OF A CAR (MY WIFE'S) WHICH I DRIVE TO AVOID THE ABOVE SAFETY CONCERNS AND PROBLEMS.”

“WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP REVS INTO HIGH GEAR, THEN ALL OF THE SYMBOLS ON MY DASH LIGHT UP AND THEN MY JEEP JOLTS AND THEN SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND WAIT ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 2-3 TIMES TO TURN BACK ON.”
