2015 Jeep Cherokee 4dr SUV
184-horsepower 2.4L I4 9-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| Jeep Cherokee in Ohio, United States Jan 2015 - May 2017 | |||
| Nov 201521600 mi | After a software update due to a recall for an incorrectly installed snap ring the transmission lacks a 3-2-1 downshift. So minimal engine braking. Also stays in low gear after passing level acceleration. | ||

| Dec 201644000 mi | Transmission shifting poorly | ||
| May 201748000 mi | Transmission driveability issues never resolved. Minimal engine braking, some hard shifts, sometimes holds a gear far too long. I had to take the vehicle in 3 times for a "shifter error", which was still happening off and on until I traded the vehicle. The shifter error did seem to be just that, a problem with the shifter electronics or shifter connections as it never affected trans operation. It was a real pain though as an error pops up in the DIC and you have to pull over and turn the vehicle on and off to clear or just keep driving with a useless information cluster until that is done. | ||
