Car seems to down shift, shift into nuetral, shift or jump out of gear. Service shifter light keeps coming on. Has happened while vehicle was in motion on a city street.
I parked the Jeep and turned it off and when inside for 10 minutes and started the car to leave and a bunch of lights came on like service engine and drive train. I put it in reverse and a huge clunk from the transmission happened I backed up and put it in forward and a huge clunk happened again. It shocked the whole car. I went forward and it barley would go. It took along time to get up to speed. It kind of shook and was really scarey. I brought it to the Jeep dealer and barely made it. The guy said the techs where all gone for the day. I couldn't leave it there so I started it back up and it worked fine. The check engine light was still on though. The next day I started it up and the light was off. It worked fine for 3 days until it all happened again the same stuff. So I turned it off and started it 10 minutes later and it was fine. It is a leased Jeep and I am going to bring it in this Friday. I want this fixed. I have read lots of the same problems with 100s of other people and it sounds like they are just giving people the run around. This is very unsafe and I want a new Jeep or a new transmission. I do not have any time to be going back to the dealership all the time or do I want to die in a car accident. The next thing that happens a that people are saying is that it will shift out of gear on the freeway and lots of people have almost crashed because of this. Thank you please let me know what you will do about this.
Gears are unreasonably difficult to shift when parked on a hill. Transmission slips out of gear. While on the free way at approximately 60 mph the car loses the ability to deliver power.
Transmission failure. Vehicle would not shift out of third gear.
2015 Jeep Cherokee latitude. When coming to a stop, at about 25 mph, the tachometer reads 1250 rpm then the transmission drops out of gear which makes the vehicle speed up, making me brake harder, then the transmission downshifts and the engine revs up to 2000 rpm making the car lurch forward. This is dangerous and has made me feel like I may rear end a car on several occasions.
The transmission does not automatically downshift out of 3rd gear when coming to a stop or at a brief stop resulting in loss of power at take off. Trying to accelerate from a stop while in 3rd gear results in significant delay in power. This hesitation is similar to stalling which is very dangerous when pulling into traffic. Jeep has stated that this is normal and that you must always come to a complete extended stop before the transmission will down shift. This is not feasible when a complete stop is not necessary or required like when a light changes to green when you are coming to a stop, or you are merging into traffic with a yield sign. This is an accident waiting to happen, or is already resulting in accidents that are classified as your vehicle didn't yield to right of way, even though this stall like scenario is the primary contributor.
