1 Transmission Shudder problem of the 2019 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 11/05/2018

The vehicle does not shift correctly. It lags terribly. It does not accelerate properly. It jerks and the transmission grinds. The brakes make strange noises when coming to a stop and it doesn't stop as quickly as it should. The radio overheats and the usb ports stop working randomly. The vehicle cut off on a major hwy at one point. Several complaints have been made to the dealer and it has been serviced multiple times and it's not correcting the problem. It's a brand new vehicle and started having issues not long after it was purchased. The dealer keeps re-flashing the transmission and it's not fixing the problems this vehicle has. Chrysler won't do anything for us because they say there are no codes on the vehicle. This vehicle is not operating properly and it's not even safe to drive. We shouldn't have to keep a vehicle that was purchased brand new and it has had nothing but problems. The mechanic even admitted it lags but stated "it's not that bad. " this is unacceptable. No brand new vehicle should lag at all or have any of these other issues for that matter!.

3 Transmission Shudder problem of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 08/04/2016

While driving 10-15 mph in my neighborhood my Jeep slipped out of gear made a grinding noise and came to an abrupt stop. My engine light came on and a "service transmission" warning popped up. My dashboard instructed me to shift the car in to "p" then into my desired gear. I shifted the car in to park, pressed on the brake and shifted the car into "d" released the brake and proceeded to step on the gas only to have the engine rev like it was still in neutral or park. I shifted the car back into park and shut off my vehicle. I restarted the vehicle and attempted to place the car in "d. " the transmission made a grinding noise and did not shift smoothly into gear making a loud clicking sound. This happened twice in a span of 500 ft. A transmission shop couldn't find a issue and recommended I take it to a Jeep dealership. It is currently there having the same issues.
