Description of the problem	I had my check engine light diagnosed and found to be the esm shifter, an electronic device that connects the gear shifter to the transmission. It was said to me that this helps regulate that the transmission stays in the correct gear while driving. I have found that the transmission sticks in a certain gear even though it is not the correct gear i am driving in. I have found that i have had to pull over, put the vehicle and park so that it clears before going back in gear. I have also found that that process does not always work, when that has not worked, i would have to turn the vehicle off and back on for it to shift properly. I also had an incident that while using cruise control i was going up a hill so the cruise control kicked in to give the extra boost but it did not shift back down. I was quickly accelerating (almost to 90 in about 5 seconds) and being close to reaching 5rpms i had to turn off cruise control and shift into neutral for it to stop accelerating. Due to the extended warranty i purchased it was not covered. I have talked to a few mechanics and they all have said they have replaced multiple recently. When talking to jeep headquarters, they stated that it has not been reported as a defective item. I was advised to contact nhtsa to report this in hopes that other have done so so that jeep is required to make this a recall item. From what i have heard, it has been a fairly common item that needs replacing.
