When I pull up somewhere and apply brakes it will start jerking and act like it wants to go but if I put the Jeep in park or neutral it stops. It's like the whole jeep will lunge forward when I am sitting there with my foot on the brake and it just feels like it's going to take off or die. it can't make up its mind.

The CVT transmission will make a loud whine and not go over 40 MPH . Usual happens after about 30 min of driving and will not show any codes. This happens during acceleration and you have to pull over and wait before it will resume somewhat normal operation .

Transmission overheats & vehicle shuts down when driving at speeds over 60mph on the highway. Forced to pull off the roadside to wait until it cools down. Its happened to me on several occasions where there was barely any shoulder along the highway, I thought my granddaughter & I were going to be killed. Ive had it to the dealership mutliple times for this problem since purchasing it from dealership and have had no resolve. On one occasion the jeep had been at the dealership for a month now and all they kept telling me is that they cant do anything about it. Current situation - last month (march) I am unable to drive the jeep over 20 MPH. I've contacted the dealership multiple times regarding this and I can't get anyone to give me an answer if they are going to take care of the transmission. I am angry at this point. We've been complaining about the transmission to the dealership since we purchased it now I am without a vehicle and I work in healthcare. I think this may fall under the lemon law. It might be time to contact an attorney. Please help

I was driving approx 45 MPH when I heard a popping noise followed by grinding noise while in 5th gear. Took my car to the shop and was told it looked like the transmission. I then took it to a transmission shop who verified that the transmission was shot. It was cracked in several places. I had the transmission replaced with a new one. When I went to pick up my car, I asked to take pictures so that I could talk to jeep about having a transmission fail at 103k miles. While taking pictures and looking at the damaged transmission, the mechanic said " wait a minute. What year is your jeep?" I told him it was a 2014. He said, "look at this sticker. It means that this transmission was manufactured in 2016. So, you are actually on your 3rd transmission." I was able to track the transmission by the part number and found out that it was installed in july 2016. The original transmission failed at 51,477 miles. The one that just came out failed at 52, 075 miles.
