Description of the problem	I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee, took in in my dealer in aug, 2013 for a safety recall (n23). First time i tried to shift it into neutral, it flashed a "service 4wd system", and would not shift into either neutral or 4low. Jeep forum, with 70 pages and hundreds of comments on this problem, looks like the recall software update is the problem and chrysler has not yet owned up the issue. Meanwhile, i cannot use my vehicle as intended. My dealer says i need a $500 part, but others have had that replaced and still have the same problem. There are about 2,000 transfer case actuator motors on back order to correct this problem; however, many who have had this part replaced still have the same problem. The new part is not fixing the issue, jeep needs to replace the final drive control module and the transfer case actuator motor.
