Owners of some 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with a 6.4L engine may complain that the engine does not have enough power to back a trailer up a steep grade. In addition, they may also indicate that the transmission shifts too early during acceleration while turning.

A revised transmission software calibration improves transmission torque management in reverse and while turning.
