Description of the problem	I have purchased the jeep cherokee sport 2017 about 2 and half months ago in early august 2017. As of today i have only driven 1986 miles. Within these miles i have experienced a serious problem three times which were life threatening while being on the road. Each occurrence has happened when i came on a full stop on expressway (san tomas expressway in santa clara county in ca) and pressing on the brake while the transmission gear is on "d" (drive). When traffic in front of me started moving then i released brake and step on the gas pedal, but the car never moved, the more i stepped on the gas, the car was not going anywhere, then i realized the transmission was functioning as being on neutral, however, the gear shift handle was on "d" in "drive" position. When i looked at my rear view mirror the car behind me was approaching very fast assuming i will move, i had to immediately got my arm out and wave to the car behind me to pass me in order to avoid getting rear ended. Then i realized the transmission while in "d" position dropped to "n" functionality but the gear shift and dashboard was still showing as the car was in "d" drive position. Then i immediately stopped the engine in "p" position, restarted the car and started driving away. In addition to this problem another problem just started, when the gear shift handle is in "p" position when you push button on the shift handle to move from "p" to any position i started hearing a "click" sound by the ignition key.
