| Description of the problem | Upon driving on the highway, i felt my vehicle's transmission change gears, which felt like neutral. My car slowed a bit but then sped back up, and then slowed again and sped back up. I then noticed the p, r, n, d were all lit up. I had no control over my vehicle's acceleration when this occurred. After i brought my car to the dealership, i was told the electronic shift module had to be replaced. After replacing it, three months later it occurred again, and was replaced again. Over the last 1. 5 years it has occurred randomly, over and over, and now needs to be replaced again. This is a safety issue as the driver has no control over the vehicle's speed. Jeep knows about this issue but refuses to acknowledge that a recall needs to be issued, therefore making their customers continue to pay for the repairs. A recall needs to issued. |
