GilJohnson Report post Posted July 1, 2011 I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cheorkee with the V-8. To me, it surges when climbing hills or otherwise under light load. Under heavy load, the V-8 is great. The regional Jeep service adviser and Jeep corporate states this is normal. They sell a lot of these, so maybe I'm just too sensitive to the surge. It comes from the engine shutting down cylinders and the way the program the transmission to shift. This is fully equipped for towing (SMI Air Force One and Roadmaster tow plates) if anyone's interested in buying it. It only has 7K miles on it. Gil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
