Hey everyone! First post here.. I've tried to find my problem w/ search and saw "gear hunting" mentioned a few times.
I have a 2014 T4R Trail Premium, with 10,700 miles. Just bought er two days ago from a local dealer. I love it to death. However, I am feeling/noticing something weird and I am not sure what it is.. After a ton of transmission issues with my Jeep, I went into panic mode.
I've noticed at higher speeds, like 75-80 on interstate, when I go up a hill, it will downshift.. It runs right at 3k RPM.. But, when I get to top of the hill, or even begin going downhill, it stays in this gear... I've tried switching into manual shift and going up into 5th, and nothing happens.. It shows 4th when I switch to manual... If I hit the brake, it will shift instantly.
Is this "gear hunting" -- If so, what is that? Is it bad? I know enough to be dangerous but that's about it.. Wanting some input from the experts... Thanks!!
