Description of the problem	Upon driving my daughter to school my transmission would not leave 1st gear. Rpm's would almost red line, i would let off the gas to let it shift and nothing, it stayed in 1st gear. Well when i looked at the gauges, my lights for prndl were all lit up instead of just "d". Boxes around every single letter. I proceeded to put the car in neutral and put it back in drive and still all 5 letters lit up and engine bogged down. It took several minutes for what like seemed forever for it to get into gear which was drive, i backed up traffic because i couldn't do the speed limit and had to use my hazard lights on the side of the road. This was my first occurrence, this has happened at least a dozen or more times since then to include yesterday jan 5 2015. Every time i contact the dealer or ask on jeep owner website, i get " sorry sir the only recall listed is the ignition switch and we don't have a part for that." i checked the website and apparently my jeep had been serviced for the transmission back in 2010 at 70k miles but does not explain what they did. I also need to put in another complaint about the transmission. June of 2014 and still to this day the gear shift can be moved from "p" to any gear, and that is when no keys are in the ignition. I was working under the hood and my 4 year old son did just that and almost ran me over. I checked and the vehicle had no keys in it they were with me in my tool box because i didn't want him to do just that.
