| Description of the problem | 10nov14 returned the car to the dealer for p56 recall. 24nov14 mil turned on while driving w/ 1099 miles. Returned car to a dealer in thousand oaks. Tech resets mil & erased codes. 4mar15 mil turned-on again w/ 4375 miles on the car. I was driving it on the freeway then it starts to lunge & skip gear, depressed the acceleration pedal & wouldnt accelerate & was blessed i didnt get into an accident & made it home safe. Trans temp reached over 258 deg, doesnt accelerate properly & lunges all the time. Everytime the gear is shifted it takes 5 sec to engage & lunges again w/ very loud knocking sound after it engages. Error codes showed up on the reader: u1504 intake control module mal, p061b internal control module calculation performnce, u0140 lost comm w/ body cntrl module, p07d9, p10a1 abnormal oil pump volt/ovrheat, & p1daf. I didnt drive the car after that & called up nearest dealer in ventura ca. Advisor scheduled an appointment after telling them what happened. 16mar15, brought the car to the dealer in ventura to have it inspected w/ the problems that i have provided & left the car w/ 4375 miles. 17mar15 advisor informed me that tranny needs to be replace. 25mar15 i contacted jeep chat online & was assigned a case number. 1apr15, received the car back w/ a new tranny installed. 4apr15 the car started to lunge again slowing down & tries to accelerate by itself. Shifting of gear takes 3 sec to engage, lunges & a very loud knocking sound will also be heard again. Airbag light came on & error code u0140 showed up again. Car was unusable again & wasnt safe to drive. Scheduled an appointment again w/ the dealer. 6apr15, returned the car to dealer to be inspected w/ problems that i have mentioned w/ 4808 miles.
