The transmission light comes on and the vehicle will stop at any time. I have taken it twice to the dealership to have the computer reset and it is still happening. On the 17th of December I was on the service road of hwy 114 going East in grapevine and the transmission light came on and put itself in neutral while driving in traffic.

After being returned to Jeep dealership (more than 6 times) and having a new transmission installed approximately two months ago, today (12/5/16) while driving the transmission went into service mode and stopped operating in the middle of a highway. The vehicle could only coast with the engine running. It had to be towed to the dealership.

The Jeep would hesitate when shifting into gear and then "jump" into gears. I was initially told the car is new 20,500 miles and needs to be "broken in". however, when shifting from first to second gear or second to third gear the car shifts really hard, enough that my head hits the back of the seat from whiplash. On my daily drive home in bumper to bumper traffic, when stopped and then letting off the brake and then easing back on the brake, the car will jerk forward. The dealership thought that a software update would fix the problem, it did not. I've taken it in for the same issue 3 times.

When driving, the vehicle shuts down and message on dash says "car must be in park in order to shift." Vehicle will not restart. This problem has happened multiple times while vehicle is in motion. We have had it taken into the dealership with no resolve. After researching, this is a common problem in this year's model that Jeep is aware of. However, the common resolution is dealership still claiming an oil change is needed. Most recently our Jeep was 500 miles under the dealership's recommended oil change. I fear for my family's life if this stall happens when crossing busy highways in town.

> safety recall notice - S55 / NHTSA 16V-529 engine warning light comes on while driving vehicle, sometimes immediately after starting vehicle, and sometimes after braking. Dealer unable to determine source of problem, saying they would contact engineering. We thought it might be connected to the recent recall for the 2014 -15 Cherokee (and others equipped with the 9-speed transaxle). However, last visit to dealership to correct that problem was unsuccessful. When engine light comes on while driving the vehicle, it does not appear to be connected to any performance or drivability issue. It just tends to make me ignore the warning light and dismiss it. Should I worry, or just ignore it? will wait for next dealer response.

Vehicle incorrectly shifts gears typically while driver is breaking. The Jeep either shifts to a gear that is to high or into neutral. Vehicle virtually looses all automotive power. To correct issue vehicle must be shut off and restarted. Typically the vehicle won't shift into drive on the first attempt after malfunction. Issues happens multiple times a week. I recently the had recall done for this issue but problem reoccurred the next day.

Car went into neutral for no reason at all. I had to coast to the side of the road. After unplugging the battery and plugging it back in I had lower gears to make it to H-E-B the ship. They said nothing was wrong with it and reset the codes and sent me on my way after two days. He ships harder and gets much less gas mileage

I have been complaining since about 6 months after I purchased the vehicle regarding the rough shifting in low gears. The dealer re-set the adaptive transmission, thinking that changes in traffic patterns lead to a difficulty an "adjusting" to a different driving style. This temporarily corrected the problem, however I continue to have rough shifting, delayed acceleration, and sometimes a harsh jolt when decelerating to a stop. The car's transmission software has been updated multiple times, including the most recent S-55 recall. My car was diagnosed as needing software only, not a new wiring harness. However, two days after the software update, while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle would not move when I stepped on the gas. I was nearly rear-ended by the school bus behind me on a major highway overpass when my car did not move at the change to a green traffic light. The rpms revved as if the car was in neutral, (but it was in D), and after a 5-10 second delay, the car bucked into third gear going 20 miles per hour. At times when coming to a stop, the deceleration from 3rd to 1st gear feels as though I am being rear-ended. The car sometimes revs when at a stop with my foot on the break. Once I received an error message that "the car is traveling at too high of a speed to go into reverse", however I was going from park to reverse and the car was at a complete stop. There is sometimes a delay in acceleration when trying to merge onto the highway. The dealer has been unable to duplicate or diagnose these intermittent issues.

My vehicle has had hard shifting ever since I purchased it brand new in 2014. There's a slight delay when accelerating which makes it very dangerous to turn into oncoming traffic. In January of 2016, my vehicle actually stopped on me while making a right hand turn when taking my kids to school. Luckily the vehicle stopped in the school zone so the oncoming traffic was approaching at a slow speed. It took me four attempts to get the vehicle started again. The service transmission light came on the dash. It had to be towed to the dealership three times in January because it would not start, or if it did, once I started driving the on dash screen would say "shift to drive" and then the "service transmission" light would come on. The vehicle stopped while in motion so I had to pull over and wait before starting the vehicle up again. I was told by the dealership that my vehicle needed a transmission update and a new battery. It was explained to me that a bad battery will cost this specific vehicle to have transmission issues. But after the update and the new battery, the hard shifting and the delay when accelerating remained. My vehicle is not safe to drive with my three kids in the car; the hard shifting makes it feel like we will get whiplash and the delayed acceleration makes it feel like the vehicle will can stop at anytime while in motion. I don't think the transmission update that the dealership does is a solution to this ongoing problem because it hasn't corrected the issue on my vehicle.

- Laveen, AZ, USA

When accelerating from a stop or low speeds, the transmission regularly takes several seconds to shift. Once it does decide to shift it's often abruptly, usually causing the tires to spin. On numerous occasions this has been when trying to enter traffic, potentially leaving the vehicle stranded while entering. Dealership's solution is a transmission software update/reset which generally works for a few thousand miles and then the issue returns.
