I've recently bought a 2015 Jeep Cherokee North 4x4 (Latitude 4x4 in the US I believe) and I've just started to read about all the transmission issues...
I bought mine used with 30000km (18500miles) and I've had it for 2 days (yes, I know, a little premature to be worrying) but the transmission is only a LITTLE sluggish between gears 1-4. I know those are the gears that most people are having issues with but their issues seem a lot more drastic than mine. The check engine light only came on once when I started up the Jeep this afternoon but after turning the vehicle off and back on again the problem was solved.
My real question is; how can I check if my transmissions software is up to date? I know Chrysler has been reviewing the software and developing updates but I have no idea if my tranny is up to date or not.
All the help is greatly appreciated!!

There is no way to tell on your own that I am aware of. But if you take it into your dealership they can tell you what updates are needed an a couple of minutes. I'm sure you probably need some since they are constantly updated. I just went in this week and I had 2 recalls and probably 4 updates, including a transmission flash. It helped my shifting problems and mine weren't that bad to begin with. Good Luck.

No way to tell or even guess. My 2015 4 cyl was built in January of 2015 and to date has had NO recalls or updates of any kind for the transmission or shifting and no problems whatsoever either. The only recall was to check on a possibly misrouted air conditioner line and mine did not have the problem, so was just a look and go.

Actually no way to be check except by the dealer.
All updates are for the most part VIN number specific to your particular Cherokee.
I would also check to see when your build date was. It was at some point around 3/2/15 that a hardware change was made to the transmission.
But basically if you are not having any issues at your mileage you should be fine.
I have a 2014 with 16,000 miles and I have been fine.
In my case my dealer told me that if I notice any change in the transmission to bring it in.

There's another possibility. That "little sluggish" feeling could be due to throttle response you're not accustomed to yet. Many have commented on it, including my wife. I demonstrated how quick it gets off the line if given the gas, and she's never complained since.
Probably due to the electronic throttle versus using hard linkage. Manufacturer can calibrate pedal travel to improve mpg during normal driving. Step into the pedal more than your other vehicles and see if that helps.
