1 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 10/23/2019

Shift service warning - 2014 Jeep Cherokee has been having problems for some time with hesitation when shifting into drive or reverse (loud banging noise when initially shifting). Car has 113,000 miles current, but issue started at 85,000. @ dealerships did different work saying it would solve the problem (replace front cv shafts and rear drive shaft at high cost and problem still existed). Now I am getting a shifter service warning light and banging between gears getting worse. 95% of mileage has been highway with no stop and go, so this should not be happening and should be a national recall on the drive system. Researching the amount of complaints on this issue are massive.

Failure Date: 07/24/2019

Driveshaft has gone bad at 29,000 miles. Shudders at slow take off and driveshaft causes knocking sound from bottom of vehicle when accelerating.
