| Description of the problem | My jeep was serviced twice for the recent shifter problem that chrysler identifies as driver inattention or confusion. The software patch that is intended to "auto park" the vehicle, has failed on two occasions. The engine is started, i apply the brake and place the shifter into reverse or a forward gear. I the desired gear is illuminated and i ease of the brake, however, when apply gas the engine simply races as if the transmission is still in park or neutral. Jeeps attempt to fix a problem has now led to another problem. This vehicle is unreliable and a death machine. I have no confidence in it's operation and i can't in good conscience sell this vehicle to anyone. Jeep corporate should be in jail. |
