Driving on the highway a dinging noise check engine light came on service transmission message came up lost all power was barely able to get out of the way of the traffic behind something needs to be done before people get killed this is very dangerous my car only has 61,000 miles on it.
The transmission slams into gear when re-accelerating. (usually at lower speeds) sometimes the rpm's will increase but the vehicle will not move forward. (this can be dangerous when you need to get up to speed safely. ) there is also a minor clicking noise when the air conditioner is turned on. (mostly just annoying).
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. While operating the vehicle, it failed to accelerate while driving between 5-25 mph. After easing off the accelerator pedal, a thumping noise was heard from the transmission. The contact also indicated that a humming noise under the vehicle was present while driving over 50 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 100.
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.
