Default Looking for Used Trailhawk

I'm in Pittsburgh and around February 2017 I'll be looking for a used Trailhawk 2015 or maybe 2014. I have read some online reviews and the transmission issues concern me. I really don't want to buy someone else's problems. Amy advice and have they corrected the transmission problems on these older Jeeps? Thank you.

As they are warranty I'm sure they would be taken care of. And if they were trade ins the dealer should have taken care of any. but, be sure to ask.

Stay away from the 2014's... at that time they were still trying to get the transmission kinks worked out... I've heard about the 2015's and 2016's having problems as well but not as much as the 2014's.

Same tranny. Better software and modules. If not the same modules.

Yeah I know it's the 948TE but the software/modules had been improved for 2015 and 2016 from what I've heard.
