My jeep loses power every time i drive it stalls out while driving (scary when it happened on the freeway) at times it stops shifting and then slams like the whole transmission fell out of jeep.

Began experiencing issues with starting at all after the ignition switch recall was worked on and resolved. the jeep won't start at different times, different weather conditions. the proper positioning and the vehicle acknowledging it being in park is an issue. the jeep requires parking to be forced -using the gear lever shift from drive to park and look for the jolt to indicate it's in the appropriate gear, in park
Keep getting "transmission over temp" code and cooling fans turn on. dealer say it cannot be recreated. if vehicle is shut off and started back on code goes away.
At 100k with no warning, engine runs hot, i wait for 30 min to cool down.. drive again and it runs hot.. mechanic says head gasket blown..smdh.. along with that it was raining and the sunroof starts leaking. 8 months prior i had to replace the transmission. what a jeep and i am still paying on it.!! the jeep people needs to recall these and at least reimburse people, now im stuck with buying a 5000 engine on a set income...basically couldve bought a brand new car with the funds i put out so far..
