WHEN THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE JERKED BUT THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AT LEAST SX TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE CONTROL WOULD NEED REPLACING.

I WAS DRIVING AT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR "JERKED" AND THE SPEED DRASTICALLY DECREASED TO 20MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS A BOX AROUND PRND INSTEAD OF JUST AROUND DRIVE. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AS SOON AS I COULD AND DROVE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN OCT 2009 SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS FIXED AT THAT TIME. NOW ALITTLE OVER ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS TRAVELING WHEN TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT OR IT MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I SPOKE WITH JEEP AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE UNLESS I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER IN WHICH IS WAS REPAIRED BEFORE, I EXPLAINED THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS ONE HOUR AWAY AND I WOULD NOT BE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THAT DISTANCE AND DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE THE FINANCIAL CAPABILITY TO HAVE IT TOWED THAT DISTANCE. THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS SITUATION.

VEHICLE LOST POWER (ENGINE RPM WENT TO IDLE) FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE TURNING ONTO A MULTI-LANE HWY AND ACCELERATING. POWER WAS RESTORED AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. VEHICLE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. "CHECK ENGINE" CODE U0404 WAS VERIFIED THROUGH JEEP IS THE "TCM" TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE.

JEEP ACCELERATES THEN AT ABOUT 15-20MPH IT WONT ACCELERATE ANY MORE AND BOXES WILL APPEAR AROUND THE P N R D AND THEN IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN JERK FORWARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO ON. *TR
