Description of the problem	While driving on the highway, my 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo, jerked violently out of gear (almost into neutral?) and the engine light came on. The gear lights lit up and i had to manually shift it back into automatic. The dealership scanned the code & determined that it was a bad shifter control module. They said i could continue to drive it for a while but it would eventually need replaced. Estimated cost for part $747(excluding $78 in labor). Drove it but realized that it was happening more frequently, many times on the highways traveling at fast speeds. Almost wrecked several times because the part malfunctioned when trying to slow down when the roads were snow covered & icy. This is a serious & potentially fatal safety problem for myself & others on the road that requires immediate attention. I am uncertain as to why chrysler has not recalled this part or atleast looked into it. I reported it to chrysler only to find out that they had no knowledge of the complaint. ?? There are numerous complaints from other owners that have had the same problem, yet no actions have been taken to remedy the issue. Does there need to be a death to obtain a recall? I am certain that i will purchase a vehicle from general motors in the future if there is no corrective action taken.
