I HAVE HAD 3 TRANSMISSION BREAKDOWNS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS.9/23/17, 12/6/17 AND 3/9/18. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP. AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF PEMBROKE PINES, 13601 PINES BLVD. PEMBROKE PINES, FL. 33027. IN EACH INCIDENT THE TRANSMISSION CUTOFF AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE ABOVE 2ND GEAR. THIS LAST TIME IN MARCH THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS AND JUST STATED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY PART. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS THE PART. SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING THE PARTS FAIL. THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION AND WANT ME TO RISK DRIVING AGAIN KNOWING THAT THIS PART HAS FAILED 3 TIMES ALREADY IN 6 MONTHS. I AM A 56 YEAR OLD MALE WITH POOR EYESIGHT. THIS PART FAILURE HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BOTH TIME. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED JEEP AND BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE # 33606208. I HAVE HAD TO RENT A VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO WORK AND AM ALREADY OUT OF POCKET $468.34 IN THE LAST WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO GIVE ME A LOANER. I DO NOT BELIEVE MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE BASED ON THE 3 BREAKDOWNS OF THE SAME PARTS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS YET THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF THE BREAKDOWN. I HAVE UPLOADED THE BILLING FROM THE PREVIOUS 2 BREAKDOWNS. I NEED YOUR HELP TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FOR ME AS I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING CORRECTED. I FEEL I AM IN DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT.. THIS PART WILL CONTINUE TO BREAKDOWN AS EVIDENCED FROM THE REPEATED REPAIRS. THIS MAY BE SYSTEMIC IN OTHER JEEPS. PLEASE HELP ME.

ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE ON. SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, GPS, AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK, REMOTE START, CRUISE CONTROL, NONE OF THAT WORKS. TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY FLASHING DIFFERENT PRESSURES. EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP UPON STARTING AND STAYS ON WHILE MOVING UNTIL IT'S TURNED OFF. THIS INITIALLY HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, AND MY FIRST REACTION WAS THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES. IT WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS THEY ARE NOW PERMANENTLY ON. THE DASHBOARD ALSO MAKES A PING NOISE EVERY MINUTE OR SO. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2017 AND THIS HAD NOT BEEN A PROBLEM UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE KNOWN DANGER IS IN NOT KNOWING HOW FAST I AM GOING. THE UNKNOWN DANGER IS COULD THE BRAKES AT SOME POINT NOT WORK, OR IF I BECOME INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WILL THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOY OR WILL THE ENGINE AT SOME POINT JUST STOP RUNNING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE A FAULTY TIPM. I ALSO HAVE A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT SUFFERS FROM THE SAME DASHBOARD RANDOM PING NOISE.

WHEN DRIVING THE ODOMETER FLASHES BETWEEN THE MILEAGE AND THE WORD "GATE". WHEN PARKED THE WORD "GATE" COMES UP AND GOES ON AND OFF. IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED THE ALARM GOES ON DOESN'T SHUT OFF UNTIL THE ALARM IS TURNED OFF. WHEN PARKED AND DOORS ARE NOT LOCKED THE WORD "GATE" COMES UP AND GOES ON AND OFF AS WELL.

SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP ALMOST ONE MONTH AGO I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR HATCH ACTUATOR TONIGHT ( 4 WEEKS AFTER REPLACING IT) MY CAT IS GIVING ME SAME ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE REAR GATE IS OPEN AND ALARM GOES OFF BY ITSELF. PANIC BUTTON DOESN'T TURN IT OFF SO APPARENTLY IT'S NOT THE ALARM DISGAGING. I GO OUT TO CAR OPEN AND CLOSE MAKE SURE IT'S PROPERLY SEALED AND HORN GOES OFF AGAIN. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. AM I GOING TO DROP 400.00 ON MY CAR ONCE A MONTH TO BE ABLE TO LOCK MY CAR OR HAVE MY DASH LIGHTS IN WHILE I DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK OF JEEP?
