I was driving down the road, with my foot steady on the gas, and the transmission shifted hard (8 speed automatic) and lunged my car forward without any pressure on the gas pedal. Then it continued to shift hard and lunge until i reached and maintained 40 mph ( in which my jeep put the transmission into 8th gear at a steady 1000 rpm). This has happened multiple times since, and sometimes when i remote start the…
