| Description of the problem | Hi i am in canada but my issue below affect dozens of vehicles i know of in the usa i see that you are investigating the 2014-2015 jeep grand cherokee not going into park. I also have been having this problem with my 2007 jeep grand cherokee laredo diesel with mercedes engine as have many others who are online . I have put my car in park and had it roll away on a several occasions (more than 7). I have had my transmission rebuilt 3 times, transfer case and transmission replaced completely from another vehicle and the problem persists. It happens primarily in the winter below 30 degrees (-4c). I am not the only one with this issue and have conversations with many owners across the usa. It also happens while driving at highway speed that the transmission will go into neutral causing safety issues, engine redlining if cruise is on then the transmission going into limp mode, requiring me to cut across traffic under no power to the shoulder and turning off and on the car (to reset limp mode) to get going again. This has happened more than 50 times, sometimes coming very close to collision as the vehicle slows quickly when power fails. My mechanic says its software or electronicrelated but the dealer says all software is up to date. I have spent almost $9,000. 00 to date trying to find this and no one has a clue. I know this is a defect but feel that you have the power to move this forward thank you for your time and hope for a reply |
