Default Transmission issue.. South Point Jeep In Austin sold me a lemon

Guys
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this but I have a 2015 Cherokee sport with the 9 speed transmission.
It jumps from 1st to 3rd gear, and back from 3rd to 1st.
Jeep National and A local service manager have both admitted that there is no current fix for the problem.

The dealer I purchased from South Point Jeep in Austin has been terrible to work with.
National Customer service just gives me the run around.

This has become a terrible situation. I had a Wrangler that had no issues but this vehicle has left me on the side of the road once and has never been right.
It has 24K miles.. and I want to dump it.

Sorry to hear it, again. There is a recurring issue with the 9-speed automatic. Here is a link to one of the threads, located in the KL Cherokee section.

Maybe trade the 9 speed auto for the 7 speed manual.

when so many report complete transmission replacements, why won't they do that for you? Or how about the pertinant module?

We leased a 200 and it goes from 3rd to 1st hard coming up to a light. Borderline dangerous since the car will leap forward if you aren't hard on the brakes. ZF and Chrysler need to get their act together. Maybe Google can program a transmission?
