Check air filter and clean throttle with throttle body cleaner I see you replaced fuel pump but did you also replace fuel filter if not replace it.

2014 Jeep Cherokee Transmission issues. My jeep has ~11K miles on it and had a software issue that said the transmission needed servicing and locked up the car. The software was updated and then it happened two days later and Jeep is now replacing the full transmission. Do I have any legal course of action since I am assuming this greatly diminishes the car value? 3 answers
