Class-Action Lawsuit: Chrysler and Jeep Transmission Problems

The plaintiff in the class-action suit associated with these Chrysler and Jeep vehicle problems claims the transmissions in these were noticeably defective, even prior to the vehicles being distributed for sale. The class-action suit points out glitches in the software of 9-speed transmission, which was causing transmission problems in Jeep and Chrysler vehicles as early as 2013.

Other alleged Chrysler and Jeep transmission problems that have been reported by owners and lessees include rough acceleration and decelerations, a sudden loss of engine power, and premature wear and tear of the transmission and its components.
