Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When driving the lights around the gear indicators will circle all the gears and vehicle drops into what feels like neutral and loses power. Then it will randomly drop back into drive. Happened a couple of times then check engine light came on. Code given was loose ground wire in tranny. Dealer fixed. 1 week later happened again and check light came on again. Dealer got same ground wire code, took apart again and wire was fine. Reset light. Still having same problem with shifting and has happened when just engaging to leave out of parking lot then 3 times on hwy at 55 mph. Very scary as don't know if going to go back into gear or power loss will cause someone to rear end you at high rate of speed. Can't always find a place to pull over and re-engage gears. Check engine light came on again today taking it back in for review. Why hasn't there been an investigation or a recall? Does there have to be a fatal accident to get attention to this dangerous matter? I love my jeep but not enough to die for it!
