Your transmission jerks violently when shifting into gear, especially when accelerating from a stop, hard enough to physically jolt you and your passengers. The dealership has replaced the transmission multiple times, but the problem keeps happening even after repairs. This unpredictable shifting behavior creates a safety risk and could lead to loss of control. Resolving this will likely require a complete transmission replacement or internal diagnosis to identify why the transmission keeps failing.

I was driving and my car just stalled and I could not get it to start again. I have had this happen to me over 4 times. My car is currently at the Jeep Dealer and they charged me over $700 telling me it was wiring. It happened again on 11/24/2025 and they have had my car since then and they keep telling me they cannot figure out what was wrong with it. Today they called me and said it was a circuit thing. There was a recall for exactly what was happening to my car. NHTSA Recall 18v-524 just that my car was not recalled. I am now going 2 weeks without a car and it clearly is experiencing EXACTLY what the recall says. over 3 times I was on the highway when the car stalled while I was driving.
