Been rummaging about researching possible alternatives to the Forester again. (I know, I'm a tire kicker...). I just really want an auto trans after living with a clutch for 7 yrs. Anyhow, really like the alien faced Jeep Cherokee. A baser Sport 4WD would be right in my price range and even allow enough margin to lose the steel wheels and Firestone's and put on a decent after market rim/tire combo. Yeah I know its a pooch w/ the 184hp engine but I woudln't be getting it to race in the stop light derby.
However, after some sniffing around on the Jeep forums there seem to be widespread problems with the 9-Speed auto trans. Failures at less than 1000 miles on new Cherokee's requiring a complete replacement transmission be installed. People lemon lawing their car over repeated attempts to resolve transmission problems.
Anyone know if Fiat-Chrysler has resolved this yet?
