| Description of the problem | Sequence of events: this has been my sons car since i purchased in 2008. [xxx] who was at college in greensboro, nc. [xxx] phoned me one evening, april 17, 2013 and stated that his jeep would not go out of 2nd gear and all lights came on and named the engine light?, ? Bas?, traction control etc. He also stated that ? It jerks when accelerating and stopping?. He parked the car and my husband/[xxx] called cottman transmission in greensboro the morning of april 18th. We were told that nothing showed on the diagnostics and they needed to take out the transmission to assess. The cost would be $450. After taking out the transmission, we were told that it needed complete replacement. They proceeded with the transmission replacement and my son picked up the jeep on april 24th. I paid $2,185. 77. As cottman stated the power train control module? Was the original cause of problems with this vehicle. I never received a recall notice for any part on this jeep, possibly because the dealership i purchased it from closed several years ago.
