Cherokee Traihawk 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10 miles

I want to hear Fiat-Chrysler's explanation of this. Why not call it a 12 speed transmission if it doesn't matter that only 8 gears work?! I have spoken to a Jeep service tech. He first told me that it will NEVER hit 9th gear. Then he said maybe under certain conditions in a wind tunnel. I have been going up to 75mph, going down hill, and it STILL won't hit 9th. W. The. F.!! Even when I move the shift lever from "D" over to electronic manual, the highest available gear reads 8th. I asked the service tech if there was a software update that would fix this and he said no.lease help me to understand how Jeep gets off advertising this so called 9 speed, when it really isn't.
