WHEN DRIVING MY TRANSMISSION WOULD BE STUCK IN A GEAR SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE ON CITY ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. THIS WOULD HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAD TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. IT WOULDN'T OR WOULD GO TO NEUTRAL SO I HAD TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION BACK AND FORTH FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE TO CATCH A GEAR. I READ ABOUT A RECALL BACK IN 2013 BUT CHRYSLER SAID IT DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE SO I PAID TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. SINCE CHRYSLER IS CURRENTLY HAVING RECALL PROBLEMS I'M CURIOUS TO FIND OUT IF THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WASN'T REPORTED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE HEATER AND RADIO STOPPED WORKING AND MY JEEP SEEMED TO BE STALLING OUT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ALMOST ON A DAILY BASES. I FIRST THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE NEW KEY I HAD MADE BUT THEN I CAME TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE STILL IS NOT A PART TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JEEP DOES NOT THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY JEEP VERY FAR AT ALL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO ON ANY LONG TRIPS THIS SUMMER IN FACT I HAD TO STAY HOME ON MY VACATION AS THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AS I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS ONE AND NO ONE WILL EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING IT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT MY JEEP.
