Description of the problem	We had the recall done on the jeep grand cherokee 2005. They reflashed the ecu that controls the ability to shift the jeep into neutral in order to tow behind motor home. After the recall we had trouble 3 times with the jeep either not shifting from neutral to drive or from drive to neutral. The last time this happen the jeep was stranded as my wife could not pull it behind the motorhome. Ultimately i had to go to florida and we drove the motorhome and jeep back separately. I contacted the dealer about this and at this point i do not have confirmation that this will be fixed as part of the original recall. Since this appears to be a common problem i, based on internet searches, i believe that jeep should fix the vehicle even if it is out of warranty. I intend on taking the jeep back to the dealer this week and if i do not get satisfaction i will file additional complaints. I would hope that the nhtsa would force jeep to repair the issue.
