@@adriananoelle4699 I love how everone just says the same as scotty Kilmer. "Ever since Fiat took over.." Yeah Jeep and Chrysler as well as Dodge were all crappy before Fiat "took over" Fiats here in Europe are ok vehicles maybe it's Chrysler who's saving money all the time I don't know were you're from but if you're an american citizen all I can say is throw that patriotistic-thinking down the toilet.
@@chriskonte1909 Fiat is trash, periodt. At least in the U.S it is. They can go back to their native country; we will not be missing that foreign trash.
@Ben the Transmission solenoids could be going bad if this is happening now. My GC needs new transmission solenoids and occasionally will slip getting to third, throw a CEL and then the CEL goes off after about 5 minutes of driving.
I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee latitude and it always feels like it’s going to stall out. Going on i85 already gives me anxiety but doing it with my car is a damn nightmare. It has a weird jerky and laggy feel to it and going from 40-60 mph has this strange delay from pressing down on the gas to the engine actually doing something and going faster. And there’s just so many other issues with it. I barely ever drove it, it has less than 40k miles on it.
Love those writing in say "I've got one and its fine". Yes, that may be true but up against competition making quality products, the gulf between "being fine" and "I bought a lemon shitbox" is enormous.
This ZF transmission, is German, is in Mercedes, BMW, exotics, etc... Dozens of different brands. Refer to Wikipedia. Just pointing out for all the folks dissing the Jeep who don't realize it isn't a Chrysler part, it's outsourced, lol.
I have owned mine for ten months now and no problem. I did have two recalls performed by the dealer. One for the fantastic UCONNECT 8.2" system, so it could never be hacked. The other for the trans. that did seem to help. But other than that I am very pleased with it. I tow a travel trailer that weighs 4,000 with no problem. Plus run down the beach and in deep snow. I get 20 city and 28 hyw with the V6 engine that has plenty of power.
I have a 2016 fully loaded Cherokee trail hawk, it has 14,xxx miles and left me stranded today as the transmission would not go into drive. :( I had a previous issue at about 6k as the 4x4 would not engage. I am starting to regret my purchase.
we have a 2001 Grand Cherokee JEEP , it was my dads baby he really loves it , in first it wwas running perfectly then after quite one year something with dynamo happend and it cuts the rail , it was fixed then after the transmission went crazy it got stuck on the second gear (automatic) and w can't find a transmission who fits in there by now it just lay in a garage for more than 3 years now
Even cars that are known for specific issues, you'll always have a handful of people that get lucky and don't have the issue, ever. More likely to be the case when properly maintained, but if its new, and breaking before you even hit the service interval, then, well, it may not be you. Hope she ended up with a reliable car in the end.
I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and just got told I need to go to a transmission shop. Shifts hard going 1st to 2nd and when downshifting. Unfortunately no warranty as I just bought is used 2 years ago. My son had a 2011 and had to replace his just a year ago.
My 2014 has had problems since day one. I kept taking it back to the dealership for the same exact issue and they said they couldn’t find a problem. It keeps bucking like it’s going to stall, even when I am in crawling traffic. Just recently every time I go over a little rough patch of road. My whole dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree. It has been nothing but a headache since day one. Just got a recall in the mail yesterday for something to do with emissions.
These Jeeps have serious transmission issues. Shifting is erratic, downshift are rough and bang into gear. I have had three software updates done on my 2015 and the transmission valve body was just replace, but the problems persist. Just be aware of this if you are considering purchasing one. My dealer told me he has had as many as 16 Grand Cherokees in his shop at the same time with transmission issues. Safety issue!!!!
2019 with 20K (about a year and a half old) PTU failed and brake recall already. Waiting 2 weeks for the replacement PTU. They had me turn my loaner in, take my Jeep home and I’ll have to drive it until the part comes in. What if it breaks down? I asked them, bunch of clowns at the dealer. I do not think I should be driving this thing while it’s Audibly grinding away
We got a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. It just turned over 55,000 miles and has been trouble free. When the salesman told me that I was buying a Fiat product, I almost ran for the door.
same problems with my 2016. 10,000miles and its on its 3rd trip to the dealer and this time is getting a new transmission. These cars are going to kill someone before long.
I am thinking to buy one tomorrow morning for 9000 CAD used one. Its a 2014 Jeep Cherokee sports model. I took a car fax and have am appointment tomorrow morning. What to do?
My new 2016 Jeep Cherokee is having transmission problems already. I have 852 miles. Today, as I was accelerating on the expressway, it wouldn't shift gears. It stayed in low gear and I could smell it heat up. I pulled over and the rpm's went up to 8. I parked on the emergency lane, put it into park, then back into drive to get it back to normal. I haven't even made my first car payment yet. Now, I am very worried, I will call the dealership tomorrow, but I don''t want to keep a car that is like this!
Nancy Goins why would you even bother making the car payment. fuck it. give it back. take the rims out and sell them on ebay/craigslist. then get you a mercedes before it hits your credit. easy.
Nancy Goins Wow, that's scary. I'm amazed at how a vehicle with such a major defect actually makes it off the assembly line and onto dealer lots. Where's the engineering testing and quality control? Then blame the issue on consumer driving habits based on regional differences? If this continues to happen you should defintely look into your states Lemon Law. Best of luck.

The issue seems centered around the 2014-2015 models. When these came out the software wasn't well developed, but it IS principally a software issue that causes misinformation to affect the transmission. You don't see this issue in the newer models. SO since it is software based, getting the updated software in your 2015 models should/could solve the problem before the software glitches ruin the hardware- such as the trans. In other words, there is hope now that wasn't available back in 2015-16ish.
i was just looking at a 2014 trail hawk until i seen this ...guess i ll just keep my trusty 2002 nissan frontier for now,im just looking to update to a newer vehicle soon
If all true, get it fixed jeep and sell way more. I was looking at a jeep this scares me. I want to hear if still a problem full money back or you fix problem with jeep paying
The funniest part of this is that at the end a video from Scotty Kilmer was recommended to play next that's titled "The Worst SUVs Ever Made Only Stupid People Buy". The irony! Sorry, but this lady buying the same problem vehicle a 2nd time was her own fault. I've never heard of anyone doing that... She definitely doesn't watch Scotty, because she would have known not to buy that smh.
i'm experiencing the issues she is also FCA refuses to correct their safety problems with the transmission. It will not shift gears properly and will not accelerate. Very dangerous. Buyer beware...
l bought a 2014 jeep the brake booster had to be replaced one rear shock had to be replaced and some stuff needs to fixed am just waiting for the summer I think they were made cheap and inflated the price 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 cause they're not cheap even the used ones its criminal
+MrDantheoldsman The 8 speeds are fine. The new 9 speeds are just that. Brand new. They haven't worked out all the kinks yet as it typically takes more than one model year to do so. That is why people say never buy a new car on its first model year. Also there are two versions of the 9 speed. The German built ZF shown above and the Chrysler built. These were the German built ones which also go in vehicles like BMW, Mercedes, and even Acura.
Good point man.But over the years my family and myself have owned around 10 Chrysler products combined. Granted they were pretty good vehicles for the most part. However in the end they ended up with either head gasket or transmission failure. Right now I own a 1993 Dodge Dynasty, at 67,000 miles it is having transmission problems. A little early for something major like that.
Well I suppose either we have very good luck or you have very bad luck. My dad's 87 Dodge Ram lasted 288,000 miles, our 2000 grand Cherokee lasted over 218,000 before we got rid of it because we wanted something newer.
Yeah I guess we have bad luck with them. We have three Oldsmobiles and haven't really had any serious problems with them.Besides regular wear and tear stuff. Two of them well over 100,000 miles and still going strong. So yeah I`d prefer GM or ever go as far Ford, before I buy another Chrysler.
My 2016 screwed up today for the first time, transmission got stuck in 8th gear. Service transmission light and check engine light came on. POS Jeep, not even a year old. Taking it back, going back to Nissan. Should have never left.
@@ThejeffJr8 I will give you an update with a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland , transmission issues just came up at 260k km , trying to pinpoint the issue currently.
I've been driving a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Here are the list of problems I have experienced / still experiencing. 1. Vibration when accelerating through 20 to 30km/h (still exists) 2. Rough, jerky upshifts from 1st->2nd and 2nd->3rd gear (still exists) 3. The car jerks forward suddenly, almost like being rear ended, when coming to a stop. (still exists) 4. Rattling noise from the glove compartment. (still exists) 5. Rattling noise from the back side of the car. (still exists) 6. Loose bolt inside the trunk door. (fixed) 7. Rattling noise when the car first drives after engine's turned on. (still exists) 8. When using the climate control, the screen often doesn't change to reflect the current climate settings. (fixed) 9. Extremely loud buzzing sound that appears out of nowhere while driving. (still exists) The rattling noises aren't fixable anymore because comprehensive warranty's expired. They can't fix the transmission problems. They couldn't identify #9. Scheduling probably my 10th visit to the dealership again. DO NOT BUY A CHRYSLER. EVER.
I’m experiencing everything you just mentioned except rattling noises but my 2014 Jeep Cherokee is LOUD as hell while driving it’s annoying. The jerking foward is the worst it almost gives me an headache smh I feel so defeated I don’t know what to do 😔
If anyone has any info on this class action lawsuits please inform me. I bought one and I'm having hard shifting issues. I went to dodge today and they said i quote $9005.00 for a new transmission. I wanted to kill someone. I took my jeep to where i bought it and of course their weaseling out of the mandatory 3000 drive train warranty. Im pretty mad
Henry Chaisritha That is incorrect......the Grand Cherokee uses a traditional 5 or 6 speed geared Tranny. The smaller Cherokee uses the German made ZF 9 speed tranny and it's NOT a CVT.....I owned one, it's a geared tranny.
They show a Red GRAND CHEROKEE in the pic in the beginning. THEN they show the smaller "Cherokee" the white one. The vehicles have different transmissions. The smaller Cherokee has the 9 speed German made transmission. The larger Grand Cherokee doesn't.
I drove a 2014 and 2015 Grand Cherokee for a year. While they don't have the same transmission, I had constant problems with it not going into park despite physically moving the lever into park, and both had erratic shifts, etc. Granted both of them were fleet vehicles driven by 15 different people.
That's how the actor Anton Yelchin was killed. The lawsuit was filed after Jeep Grand Cherokee owners launched a class-action suit in California against Fiat Chrysler, accusing the automaker of concealing a gear shifter design defect linked to accidents in the wake of Yelchin's death.
I begged my father to junk his. He paid 6k to a transmission in his and year later the shitty 3.6 engine is dieing. Plus the bolts sheer right off anything
Got one in the shop right now and noone INCLUDING the dealership can figure out WHY or WHAT is wrong with it. Replaced all sensors and solonoids with OEM parts, fluid, filter. THEN we resorted to changing the transmission because the DEALER trold us it must be internal. Put a different transmission in it and it STILL does the exact same bullshit. We now have over $1500 WASTED in trying to fix it and it has been in 3 different mechanic shops, 2 transmission specialist shops, a handfull of backyard mechanics AND the Chrysler dealership and NOONE can figure out whats wrong with it!!! Chrysler is the biggest piece of shit on the road. BUYER BEWARE!
It's just a piece of crap and the best thing Chrysler can do is refit all vehicles with the ZF9 with an Ultradrive family transmission. They also should convert all shift by wire vehicles back to a conventional shiftier with a cable as an electronic shiftier has to be the stupidest idea ever as all it does is over complicate something that should be simple.
Patchuchan: Thats the key. Money traps. We do not own an American made vehicle anymore. We have "what was once an American owned name and Corp." Now its all made in China, Pakistan, Mexico ect ect. The automobile manfucaterers, such as GM Chrysler, Ford ect ect They are ALL built by 10 different companie's parts, and theyre all purchased from the lowest bidders. The CHEAPEST JUNK SHIT in the entire world. Beinmgs we do not have an American made Automotive company anymore, I will say this. Honda, Toyota, Nissan. ONLY and in THAT order. Nissan beings a last ditch option. Honda and Toyota make by far the best vehicles on the road. By FAR. Chrysler has always been a piece of shit anyways. Everyone knows that. Do not buy GM, Ford anything other than Honda or a Toyota, Nissan if you absolutely have to. And most certainly do not buy a Chrysler.
I know someone who was driving a Honda-CRV that caught fire due to engine oil leak. Are you sure Honda's are reliable? Read this - www.edmunds.com/car-news/2015-honda-cr-v-2014-15-accord-recalled-to-replace-engine-short-block.html
rifleman542 : Well, since the engine leaked oil and that was the cause of said fire, without even clicking the link, I can already tell you that its due to neglegence of the car owner. It didnt leak when it came out from the factory and all vehicles eventually develope a leak. The problem with that is they did not repair the leak. Yes I am positive that Honda's are the best vehicle on the road. Not only is that fact, its also common knowledge.
jEEPS...sEEMS LIKE ITS 2012 THRU 2017 THAT HAD THE MOST TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS......ABOUT A 4-5 YR SPAN ...THEY HAD DIFFERENT MAKE OF TRANSMISSIONS THAN THE OLDER MODELS. bUT EVERYBODY SHOULD DO RESEARCH ON THE SPECIFIC CAR THEY WANT BEFORE BUYING IT!!! NO MATTER HOW NEW OR OLD IT IS.
Why can't auto makers just stick to 3 and 4 speed automatic transmissions , what's with this 9 speed and more now! More expensive when broken and shift worser than anything that's been ever out! Jeep- " Just Expect Every Problem" and I agree with many the new ones built by Fiat are complete overpriced garbage. Girlfriend had a 2015 Renegade that was a pos, and now a 2019 Cherokee TrailHawk 4x4 and I'm so far not impressed at all with it, my Dads brand new 2018 Ford Escape SE rides way better and is much more powerful when accelerating and on fuel economy. I'd recommend one of those for anyone wanting a new SUV over anything jeep makes now
Germans are saying the problem is not the the transmission, it how us Americans drive? what the french toast! Don't get me wrong Ford & GM have made some horrible vehicles over the years, but also some good reliable ones too. I'll keep my GM 2010 Impala that I've had for five years with almost 200k miles on her with no major issues. Chrysler was voted the worst out of the Big 3 with the least reliable vehicles. And i was planning to check out the Jeep Grand Cherokee
well, seemingly like other car makers have 0 problems with the transmission in 40+ years and you're saying you been driving one for ALMOST A YEAR only with no problem...doesn't make me feel good about the car. I"m not trying to put hate on you or anything, just pointing out that other cars seem more dependent.
asidekick the previous year models showed problems right away off the lot. This year they have improved quit abit. I can tell the difference and so do other owners. I have driven this jeep on long drives no problem. Plus the warranty till 100k or 5 years. So overall right now it's great. I'll post an update if something comes up later on.
I pass Teslas and bmws in my Jeep Renegade!! It's all about how you drive people, you think that those folks in Germany dont know what they are doing? Like they said, they need to tune it for how Americans drive.
I talk to lots of girls. I ask them what’s their dream car. They all say “I want a Jeep cause it’s a beautiful car” and followed by “I don’t know much about cars but I want a Jeep”. The truth is all these girls want to try to be and embody this “I’m just a country girl driving around in my Jeep, go on road trips with my gals” type when they don’t realize how shitty these cars are. Lol how are you gonna go and afford a road trip when your Jeep is in the shop or out of commission every month? Faaaaaaiiil.
+deadkemper .. I've had transmission replaced, a/c stopped working, windows stopped working, driveline fell out on the freeway, worst customer service, recall after recall with no parts to fix these vehicles. i would do lots and lots of homework on these before you make the plunge and buy yourself a lemon!!
wow...the one I'm buying is a 2.2 diesel automatic.. at least I will have 2 years warranty left....it got good reliability reviews overall but most wouldn't be autos
Umm lady, U BOUGHT A FIAT CHRYSLER. Next time do your HOMEWORK before farting out cash on just anything. Toyota/Lexus consistently rank as the most reliable automobiles.

These were the German built ones which also go in vehicles like BMW, Mercedes, and even Acura.
Good point man.But over the years my family and myself have owned around 10 Chrysler products combined. Granted they were pretty good vehicles for the most part. However in the end they ended up with either head gasket or transmission failure. Right now I own a 1993 Dodge Dynasty, at 67,000 miles it is having transmission problems. A little early for something major like that.
Well I suppose either we have very good luck or you have very bad luck. My dad's 87 Dodge Ram lasted 288,000 miles, our 2000 grand Cherokee lasted over 218,000 before we got rid of it because we wanted something newer.
Yeah I guess we have bad luck with them. We have three Oldsmobiles and haven't really had any serious problems with them.Besides regular wear and tear stuff. Two of them well over 100,000 miles and still going strong. So yeah I`d prefer GM or ever go as far Ford, before I buy another Chrysler.
+MrDantheoldsman sarcasm game is quiet strong here, lol
People need to stay away from those 9-speed autos.
My 2016 screwed up today for the first time, transmission got stuck in 8th gear. Service transmission light and check engine light came on. POS Jeep, not even a year old. Taking it back, going back to Nissan. Should have never left.
Kenneth 07 Their CVT transmissions are having a lot of issues too
Kenneth 07 Same happened to me ! Almost killed me !
Fuck, I literally just bought a 2017 Jeep cherokee trailhawk.
TAKE CARE!!
Hopefully you aren't on the side of the road... I'm gonna be laughing when I go by...
Why did you ignore all of the complaints and buy it? Do you live in a cave?
My mistake. Should never by any Chrysler product, ever.
Yonghui Wu Your mistake was not doing your homework before you bought it. The internet is free you know.
I just bought a 2015 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Latitude; so far so good. I love it so far. But, I will stay on alert to any complications.
Update? Lol
@@ThejeffJr8 I will give you an update with a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland , transmission issues just came up at 260k km , trying to pinpoint the issue currently.
My gma has a 2015 and when you hit 40mph it'll jerk
I've been driving a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Here are the list of problems I have experienced / still experiencing.
1. Vibration when accelerating through 20 to 30km/h (still exists)
2. Rough, jerky upshifts from 1st->2nd and 2nd->3rd gear (still exists)
3. The car jerks forward suddenly, almost like being rear ended, when coming to a stop. (still exists)
4. Rattling noise from the glove compartment. (still exists)
5. Rattling noise from the back side of the car. (still exists)
6. Loose bolt inside the trunk door. (fixed)
7. Rattling noise when the car first drives after engine's turned on. (still exists)
8. When using the climate control, the screen often doesn't change to reflect the current climate settings. (fixed)
9. Extremely loud buzzing sound that appears out of nowhere while driving. (still exists)
The rattling noises aren't fixable anymore because comprehensive warranty's expired.
They can't fix the transmission problems.
They couldn't identify #9. Scheduling probably my 10th visit to the dealership again.
DO NOT BUY A CHRYSLER. EVER.
I’m experiencing everything you just mentioned except rattling noises but my 2014 Jeep Cherokee is LOUD as hell while driving it’s annoying. The jerking foward is the worst it almost gives me an headache smh I feel so defeated I don’t know what to do 😔
dang, and i want a jeep so bad!
Miss Tina me too!!! i was just about to buy this very model too... glad i did my research
STaRR ViRGO they have German transmissions. wouldn't recommend.
RAM now as the same transmission
Well her first problem is buying a Chrysler product
Very true
MrJimmy3459 lol that's funny ... jeep/ Chrysler has always been raggedy
Fiat and Chrysler have a history of making some really really..............good.........cars...I guess?
Agreed! If you have 4-5k a year to fix your car, then Chrysler is the company for you.
Stay the hell away from Range Rovers, unreliable overpriced garbage
If anyone has any info on this class action lawsuits please inform me. I bought one and I'm having hard shifting issues. I went to dodge today and they said i quote $9005.00 for a new transmission. I wanted to kill someone. I took my jeep to where i bought it and of course their weaseling out of the mandatory 3000 drive train warranty. Im pretty mad
Just a day ago this transmission issue has killed a man
NO, Thats the Grand Cherokee, (and if he used the parking brake like they teach you in driving school he'd be alive) this story is about the CHEROKEE.
+motor city man you don't understand the grand cherokee uses the same transmission as the CHEROKEE. The CVT
Henry Chaisritha
That is incorrect......the Grand Cherokee uses a traditional 5 or 6 speed geared Tranny.
The smaller Cherokee uses the German made ZF 9 speed tranny and it's NOT a CVT.....I owned one, it's a geared tranny.
Motor City Man and patriot use cvt?
Henry Chaisritha
Some Patriot models used a regular geared transmission some used the CVT but they don't anymore.
Just Empty Everybody's Pockets
Don't buy the German designed ZF 'Nein' speed automatic transmission
They show a Red GRAND CHEROKEE in the pic in the beginning.
THEN they show the smaller "Cherokee" the white one.
The vehicles have different transmissions.
The smaller Cherokee has the 9 speed German made transmission.
The larger Grand Cherokee doesn't.
I drove a 2014 and 2015 Grand Cherokee for a year. While they don't have the same transmission, I had constant problems with it not going into park despite physically moving the lever into park, and both had erratic shifts, etc. Granted both of them were fleet vehicles driven by 15 different people.
JDS John
I've driven countless 14 15 and 16 Grand Cherokee and Cherokee models, never had a problem with ANY of them going into or staying in Park
That's how the actor Anton Yelchin was killed. The lawsuit was filed after Jeep Grand Cherokee owners launched a class-action suit in California against Fiat Chrysler, accusing the automaker of concealing a gear shifter design defect linked to accidents in the wake of Yelchin's death.
The picture of the Red Grand Cherokee is mostly likely a stock photo of a jeep they used for the story.
Got my 2015 Cherokee 😅came with a lifetime transmission warranty feeling better about my self after watching this
“Fine tune it for American drivers” I thought Germans drove wildly.
Right like wtf. Y'all literally have an autobahn
Get your money back and buy a Honda or Toyota.
same gearbox in both zf 9 speed
@@chippy419 I think the Chrysler transmission is manufactured in America by Chrysler under license from ZF Germany. BIG difference.
Should have got a grand Cherokee
I begged my father to junk his. He paid 6k to a transmission in his and year later the shitty 3.6 engine is dieing. Plus the bolts sheer right off anything
This is old news. I have 2016 trail hawk. Works perfect. Towing, off road, highway long distance trips. Town, snow.. you name it.
I'm looking at getting a used Cherokee 2016 how is yours holding up please reply thank
ROY CAPPS I have one! It stalls a lot! Almost killed me 3 times. Good luck !
Got one in the shop right now and noone INCLUDING the dealership can figure out WHY or WHAT is wrong with it.
Replaced all sensors and solonoids with OEM parts, fluid, filter.
THEN we resorted to changing the transmission because the DEALER trold us it must be internal.
Put a different transmission in it and it STILL does the exact same bullshit.
We now have over $1500 WASTED in trying to fix it and it has been in 3 different mechanic shops, 2 transmission specialist shops, a handfull of backyard mechanics AND the Chrysler dealership and NOONE can figure out whats wrong with it!!!
Chrysler is the biggest piece of shit on the road. BUYER BEWARE!
Sounds to me like the TCM has glitches.. that's the transmission control module, otherwise known as, the transmission's brain or computer
It's just a piece of crap and the best thing Chrysler can do is refit
all vehicles with the ZF9 with an Ultradrive family transmission.
They also should convert all shift by wire vehicles back to a conventional shiftier with a cable as an electronic shiftier has to be the stupidest idea ever as all it does is over complicate something that should be simple.
Patchuchan: Thats the key.
Money traps.
We do not own an American made vehicle anymore. We have "what was once an American owned name and Corp."
Now its all made in China, Pakistan, Mexico ect ect.
The automobile manfucaterers, such as GM Chrysler, Ford ect ect They are ALL built by 10 different companie's parts, and theyre all purchased from the lowest bidders. The CHEAPEST JUNK SHIT in the entire world.
Beinmgs we do not have an American made Automotive company anymore, I will say this.
Honda, Toyota, Nissan. ONLY and in THAT order. Nissan beings a last ditch option.
Honda and Toyota make by far the best vehicles on the road. By FAR.
Chrysler has always been a piece of shit anyways. Everyone knows that.
Do not buy GM, Ford anything other than Honda or a Toyota, Nissan if you absolutely have to. And most certainly do not buy a Chrysler.
I know someone who was driving a Honda-CRV that caught fire due to engine oil leak. Are you sure Honda's are reliable? Read this - www.edmunds.com/car-news/2015-honda-cr-v-2014-15-accord-recalled-to-replace-engine-short-block.html
rifleman542 : Well, since the engine leaked oil and that was the cause of said fire, without even clicking the link, I can already tell you that its due to neglegence of the car owner.
It didnt leak when it came out from the factory and all vehicles eventually develope a leak.
The problem with that is they did not repair the leak.
Yes I am positive that Honda's are the best vehicle on the road. Not only is that fact, its also common knowledge.
jEEPS...sEEMS LIKE ITS 2012 THRU 2017 THAT HAD THE MOST TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS......ABOUT A 4-5 YR SPAN ...THEY HAD DIFFERENT MAKE OF TRANSMISSIONS THAN THE OLDER MODELS. bUT EVERYBODY SHOULD DO RESEARCH ON THE SPECIFIC CAR THEY WANT BEFORE BUYING IT!!! NO MATTER HOW NEW OR OLD IT IS.
Need help 😭😭
Why can't auto makers just stick to 3 and 4 speed automatic transmissions , what's with this 9 speed and more now! More expensive when broken and shift worser than anything that's been ever out! Jeep- " Just Expect Every Problem" and I agree with many the new ones built by Fiat are complete overpriced garbage. Girlfriend had a 2015 Renegade that was a pos, and now a 2019 Cherokee TrailHawk 4x4 and I'm so far not impressed at all with it, my Dads brand new 2018 Ford Escape SE rides way better and is much more powerful when accelerating and on fuel economy. I'd recommend one of those for anyone wanting a new SUV over anything jeep makes now
Because 3 and 4 speed transmissions are inefficient, and with the EPA's restrictions it's hard to get a car to get good mpg without adding more gears
I have a 6-speed transmission in my Silverado. The newer and improved models were getting 8-speed trannies--and worse gas mileage. Go figure.
And it's brand new
Idk who in their right minds would buy a car again after the first one was a lemon...
Germans are saying the problem is not the the transmission, it how us Americans drive? what the french toast! Don't get me wrong Ford & GM have made some horrible vehicles over the years, but also some good reliable ones too. I'll keep my GM 2010 Impala that I've had for five years with almost 200k miles on her with no major issues. Chrysler was voted the worst out of the Big 3 with the least reliable vehicles. And i was planning to check out the Jeep Grand Cherokee
Typically, the higher-end Chrysler/Fiat products have better quaility.
Jeep should have fixed this problem by now.
The 2016 seems good
Not its not
+Rod Schneider yes yes it is
I've been driving for almost a year now no issues
well, seemingly like other car makers have 0 problems with the transmission in 40+ years and you're saying you been driving one for ALMOST A YEAR only with no problem...doesn't make me feel good about the car. I"m not trying to put hate on you or anything, just pointing out that other cars seem more dependent.
asidekick the previous year models showed problems right away off the lot. This year they have improved quit abit. I can tell the difference and so do other owners. I have driven this jeep on long drives no problem. Plus the warranty till 100k or 5 years. So overall right now it's great. I'll post an update if something comes up later on.
Chrysler owes her money and another new vehicle.
It’s a problem they switched over
Thats why u get a Grand Cherokee
Transmission, PTU, Burns Oil, they even have a shitty 2.4 multi air engine that should have never been built.
FIAT=Fix it again Tony.
That's why you don't buy a Chrysler.
I'm driving the 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk for a couple weeks and it's fine.
mines 2015 - 25000 km rums perfect.
Hows your jeep by now?i am getting one today 2016 jeep cherokee trail hawk
I pass Teslas and bmws in my Jeep Renegade!! It's all about how you drive people, you think that those folks in Germany dont know what they are doing? Like they said, they need to tune it for how Americans drive.
I talk to lots of girls. I ask them what’s their dream car. They all say “I want a Jeep cause it’s a beautiful car” and followed by “I don’t know much about cars but I want a Jeep”. The truth is all these girls want to try to be and embody this “I’m just a country girl driving around in my Jeep, go on road trips with my gals” type when they don’t realize how shitty these cars are. Lol how are you gonna go and afford a road trip when your Jeep is in the shop or out of commission every month? Faaaaaaiiil.
Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk - worst vehicle I ever owned, lost my shirt on this lemon.
Jeep, never again.
i own and its the worst vehicle i have ever owned.
why tell me..i'm considering getting a 2016 diesel
+deadkemper .. I've had transmission replaced, a/c stopped working, windows stopped working, driveline fell out on the freeway, worst customer service, recall after recall with no parts to fix these vehicles. i would do lots and lots of homework on these before you make the plunge and buy yourself a lemon!!
wow...the one I'm buying is a 2.2 diesel automatic.. at least I will have 2 years warranty left....it got good reliability reviews overall but most wouldn't be autos
+deadkemper .. make sure it doesn't have the 9 speed transmission.
I want the auto though...
Shouldn’t have bought a Jeep built by fiat
After 1998 Jeep is not Jeep.
My 2016 Cherokee Limited 3.2 with the 9 speed works beautifully ! They are selling by the thousands and thousands. Shifts are silky smooth.
It's only a year old and it's working. Yea those are bragging rights. 🙄
we are talking about 2014-15 ,,not 16,,they are different
"Yea so go out and buy our new piece of crap dummies. Just ignore our horrible reputation."
Hemi Head Mine too, they luckily fixed it and now do lifetime bumper to bumper warranty
TruAgape1234 ALL car companies have mishaps, and all have recalls. Just dont take a chance with GM because their mishaps KILL people
Umm lady, U BOUGHT A FIAT CHRYSLER. Next time do your HOMEWORK before farting out cash on just anything. Toyota/Lexus consistently rank as the most reliable automobiles.
I'm scared of those 9 speeds from FCA. Just pure junk. I feel sorry for the woman!
Get a chevy tahoe, silverado, ls engines
Still fighting my finance company about a Jeep lemon I bought Jeep are pos cars js
I know better not to buy a new jeep the new jeeps are junk
Justin P. I have an 04 jeep grand cherokee. Runs beautifully with 97k miles and a v8 engine. The 99 to 04 jeeps where the best made in my opinion.
mines an 04 but 3rd slips now
1:23 get that garbage slow euro trash out
purely a piece of junk, imagine em with 150,000 miles plus on em.
145k no problems. Just some stupid click noise in the dash when pressing the shifter release when in park?
No problems with my 2014 Cherokee , loved it and now I have a 2017 Jeep Cherokee which is just as good.
Excellent vehicle
they say Germans make everything better like audi.. well guess they can't make transmissions haha
9-speed not for normal people jeje!!! ++++++++++++++(++++
Americans and their automatics.
