Description of the problem	Transmission randomly goes into neutral & the car does not move when pressing the gas. The 1st time it happened i was pulling out on an extremely busy highway & making a right to merge into traffic. My car froze in the lane & 3 cars nearly hit me at high speeds swerving around me. I brought it to the jeep dealership as it is under warranty & after a few hours, they called & said it was ready & it was just a "software update". Weeks later the same thing happened only this time while making a left to merge into traffic. I was in the median waiting for traffic to clear & when it did, i went - again it was like it was stuck in neutral & this time i was almost hit by a semi-truck who nearly jack-knifed trying not to hit me. Back to the dealership i went expressing my terror & the fact there is no way i feel safe in this car until it's fixed. I'm suppose to put my 15 year-old son behind the wheel of it when he gets his permit in a few weeks?? Today is thursday & my car has been at the dealership since 7:30am last friday. I have to pick it up tomorrow after work. They called to tell me they "cannot duplicate the problem" & recommended i "drive with their technician to see if it can be duplicated with him in the car..." seriously!? Considering this is a random/intermittent issue, & does not come with warning, the duplication effort is not likely. I relayed the research i had done since online & recommended looking at the 9-speed transmission issues that have caused problems with the same car. Explaining they describe the same problem i am experiencing. I was told they "cannot use information found on google" & "they've checked all software updates, recalls, & tsr's..." but "they're all based on the date it was built & nothing's come up". I am literally terrified to drive. I know there's a lemon law here, but i'm afraid the next time it happens i may not be as lucky. Help!!??

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
