Description of the problem	The automatic transmission of my 2005 jeep grand cherokee ,began acting unusual in mid november 2005. The transmission would clunk when put into drive , the vehicle seemed to hesitate before moving, also on 2 occasions the vehicle would down shift to first gear and then back to drive on its own while in motion. On december 18, 2005 i told the jeep dealer service manger of the problem when i took the vehicle in , i had received from daimler-chrysler a recall notice concerning the transmission , as far as i know the dealership performed the recall repair. The vehicle seemed fine until december 30, 2005 when while traveling on the expressway at 55 miles per hour with the cruise control engaged the vehicle again downshifted to first gear momentarily , all the warning lights came on then shifted back to drive the engine revved up and speed up unexpectedly . I then lost control of the vehicle spinning out and hitting the concrete divider wall of the expressway. The vehicle sustained over $10,000 in damage, luckily there were no injuries to me or my passenger. I have notified chrysler and my insurance company of problem, at this point i have not authorized any collision repairs to this vehicle. Chrysler said they would inspect the vehicle, i await to see what they will do. I don't intend to repair or drive this vehicle again or any jeep cherokee ,for that matter as to its unsafe transmission . *nm
