"We've talked to dealers across the country, when we get oil changes, they supposedly fixed the problem but it is still there, no one seems to know how to fix it. "delay in shifting down when coming to stop, causing no power when trying to accelerate from stop, delay in shifting when trying to accelerate" "SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE NOT TOTALLY RESOLVED THE ROUGH SHIFTING" "Dealer said car would "learn" driving habits however it would shift at strange times. "The shifting was smooth when I bought the vehicle but after approx 2,000 the shifting became very abrupt almost overnight" "Transmission light came on when shifting across the 2 different clutches in the right circumstances"

Chrysler has provided 5 or more software updates, but none have really corrected the basic problem" It feels like a 3-speed auto transmission of the 1950's instead of the 9-speed computerized transmission that it actually is. "Transmission shifts in a rough, clunky fashion particularly in gears 1-4. Service department adjusts to a different problem. Problem exists since soon after purchase. "Vehicle occasionally jerks violently when accelerating from a stopped position. When at a complete stop and accelerating transition is very jumpy and rough" Have taken it in and was told it was functioning as designed. "Bangs into gear at time or hesitates to go into gear" Although the car is an automatic, it reminds me of my former stick-shift cars, as it feels like the transmission won't engage first gear" I have to floor the accelerator and then the car will suddenly lurch forward. I'm literally sitting in traffic and the car won't move. I will shift the car to first, but it won't engage. "I will have the car in reverse to back out of some place. Various software updates has improved it some." Rough shifting and hunting for the right gear for the situation. "Just not a well sorted transmission (very well knowen). "when you accelerate from a stop into traffic the car hesitates and when it does move it accelerates excessively." "Shifting from 4th to 5th gear the transmission slams" One would not want to use this vehicle and transmission in a bank robbery where a quick get-away was needed." Transmission often lurches forward when coasting to stop, or in a clunky fashion shifts up or down abruptly. "While the transmission's computer has had about 5 software updates, it still shifts in a rough fashion particularly at low speed in gears 1,2,&3. (2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude 2.4-L 4 Cyl)
