The Jeep stalled in the middle of the intersection! several times and once as I was exiting the freeway ! the service transmission light went on and then I received the Jeep back nine days later and the the engine rattles and the console cracking sounds themotor sound like it's running higher than before it was fix I took it back the service manger told me that it runs fine and I need to relax and enjoy the arts but I don't think it working like it was prior to breaking down ! it had 6949 miles on it and now the shocks seem to hit hard too ! so I not sure what's going on ! Jeep corporate told me to drive it but I don't feel safe ! I asked for a better Jeep! and I was told that things happen ! the service department won't look at it agian ! and the Jeep seems to be pulling to the left ! but the steering wheel looks aligned!.
I have taken my 2016 Jeep Cherokee into the service department multiple time to have them diagnose the hesitation in the transmission, jerking into gear ( from 1st to second gear, but most of the time from 2nd to 3rd gear) and a loud clacking noise that appears to come from the bottom of the car. According to 2 different Jeep/Chrysler dealership service department that I have taken my Cherokee to be diagnose, they can't find what is wrong with the transmission and they did not expirience the jerking on the transmission during driving. They did informed me that the clacking sound coming from the bottom of the car is the catalytic converter when it gets hot makes a clacking noise, but they have no fix for it. The dealers claim they are waiting for the Jeep inc. To come out with a fix. As if that's acceptable to force your customer to drive a noisy, hesitating brand new car. I am dumbfounded with how the dealerships Jeep / Chrysler keep sweeping this issue under the rug hoping it will go away. Time to find a solution.
