Description of the problem	This jeep had the n23 recall done and i posted earlier about the ongoing problems not going into 4 lo and neutral... But the problem is worse than before the recall and is a safety issue now. This problem is worse on mine than i first thought. But if the intent by chrysler to solve a safety problem with going into neutral unintentionally, was the reason for the recall, they failed. I just did some tests on my 08 gc and found: ignition on, motor off in any gear but park and the transfer case is in neutral. In park it's locked. Motor on, the transfer case won't go into for 4 lo or neutral and the service "4 wd" comes on immediately when trying to go into 4 lo or neutral. My scanner shows no codes, and the message on the evic disappears once the jeep is off and then restarted. In summary, if the jeep stalls and the key is still on, the transfer case is in neutral!!! This is more of a safety issue than before.
