Bought my 2015 Jeep Cherokee in November 2014. Began having a very loud, annoying rattle coming from back seat and transmission issues in February of 2015. The transmission surges when you start the car, it clunks after you turn the car off, sometimes the car won't go when you give it gas and then it will kick in and be like a turbo boost pushing the car forward. It's a huge safety concern. You have to be careful when making turns when there is oncoming traffic because you may push the gas but the car may not go like it should or could jump forward and cause you to reared someone when taking off from a red light. It's been in the shop 5times for the backseat and 3 times for the transmission ( just put it back in the shop yesterday). They have reprogrammed the transmission twice and I don't know what they do to the seat - they put some tape on the metal or something like that but it of course didn't fix it. This is a horrible vehicle and I traded out of a vehicle with negatively equity and after all the issues tried to trade out of it but the car has lost nearly $10,000 in value in less than a year leaving me stuck with this unsafe vehicle. I am scared to drive this vehicle on the highway where you must travel at high rates of speed. In August of 2015. I was stopped at a red light, light turned green, all the cards began moving forward. I pushed the gas which with the transmission issue the car kicks toward pretty hard when you take off and the car in front of me stopped abruptly and I tapped the back of the person's car. It was very insignificant and I was not even ticketed but of course the other driver is now making a personal injury claim and I truly believe if the transmission in this car did not surge forward when you first push the gas I probably would not have even tapped this vehicle!.

I sat in the drivers seat and it pitched back so bad I felt like I was going to land in the back seat. I checked a few Jeep Cherokee goups on the web and found out seat frames had a tendancy to break. I then called my Jeep dealership and asked about a possible recall. The service writer researched it and told me Jeep had no history of seat problems and he had never heard of a problem. I removed the seat and inspected it. At first it looked like the problem was that the seat frame had broken on the front right corner. I removed the seat back, fabric and padding to repair the frame, and found that the seat frame had broken near every weld.

The front seat frames are not made strong enough, frame welds broken, bolt pulled through, other frame cracks. I have heard of other seat failures,in Jeep xjs, talked about on internet Jeep list-serves. Seat was held on by only 2 points. If one more mounting had broken, the seat would have fallen into the back seat area.

Trucks rear seats do not come equipped with a head rest. Consumer feels "due to the occupants head not being protected they could sustain serious head injuries if vehicle is involved in an accident". The rear seat back is very low.
