My vehicle has, on multiple and separate occasions, spontaneously accelerated. thankfully no one and nothing has been hurt yet because i had time to throw it into neutral and stand on the brake, but it's a matter of time. someone will get killed if this issue isn't fixed soon as i assume there are tons of these on the road.

Ok i'm fully aware my vehicle is under 3 recalls well technically speaking 2 cause ones a recall on the recall waiting for that recall to be recalled. this whole process is insane my vehicle has turned off while driving has unparked itself shifted on its own had the lights flicker i have even been pulled over mutiple times for these problems twice when the jeep decided it was gonna stop accelerating 3 times because the lights start flickering sometime just inside sometimes just the outside and most recently all the lights just stopped working vehicle still running made it about 10 feet after the lights went out and sure enough before i could even pull of tbe road blue lights i've had the vehicle less then 60 days it's stalled while sitting still it's stalled while driving it's shut off while idle and while driving. its shifted on its own while driving and idle most recently i was checking the transmission fluid with the car in park in my driveway the support arms are dead so i used my handy dandy block o wood to hold it open well i pull the dipstick from the transmisson it was a ...
Electronic shifter module had gone out. park reverse neutral in and drive are the only functions available. to downshift from drive fourth, third, second, and first have lost all ability. primarily the driving of the vehicle is through the streets of san francisco and the ability to downshift is necessary to avoid collision and to climb the steep hills. not only for myself, but for anybody else with this problem for example: driving to an exit ramp from speeds of 65 and needing to decelerate to 25 would be very difficult and major where on the brake system. now for climbing the hills of san francisco in a high gear puts a major stress on the transmission. please take into consideration that the electronic shifter module should be recalled for safety . this vehicle has already been recalled for an ignition and has been replaced but i received several notices from jeep starting out as simple and is nicely put his please see your service dealership there is a recall and to the extreme of receiving notices that said your vehicle has a recall and you are putting other peoples lives in danger by ...

Vehicle will not shift into correct gear when accelerating from a dead stop. tops out at 3,000 rpms at 60mph. this is an intermittent problem. but will at least happen 2 times a day. when it happens you have to pull over and shut off the engine off and restart. this most likely will fix the problem. this is very dangerous when in traffic. this typically happens when you stop at a traffic light and start to take off. i had the censers changed in the transmission but didn't fix the problem. the vehicle has less than 100,000 miles on it. it is getting worse every day know.

In rush hour traffic, the car would lose power everytime the car came to a stop or idled. 3 days later, the car lost power in speed limit traffic after going over the railroad tracks. since then, it loses power at every stop. if i am not aware, the car rolls into oncoming traffic! i took the car to my nearest dealer. they confirmed that it was the ignition switch that has been recalled and a part hasn't been sent to dealers. i called chrysler and all they did was put me on a list! they apologized for me not having a car to drive and that was it! they would not provide me with a timeline of when the part would be ready. they refused to provide me with a loaner vehicle while it was off the road. i have lost my mode of transportation unless i want to risk my and my family's life, and they say there is nothing they can do even though they are at fault!
A few weeks/months after the purchase of my jeep about 2 years ago, i noticed that my cruise control had stopped working and the abs light had come. i checked my fuses and relays and they were ok. then a day or so later i was driving on the interstate and my check engine light and my brake lights came on. my jeep then seemed to downshifted itself. it felt as if the transmission had locked up, it slowed to about 30mph and would not shift onto another gear. i pulled over killed the motor. after a few attempts to drive it, i turned the key over and noticed the break and engine lights were off so i attempted to drive home and was sucessfull. this started to happen more and more often. i noticed that it mainly happened when either i was running my ac or it was wet/raining outside. i then started researching jeep problems and recalls. i came across the daminoncrysler recall no. 13. the recall had described the issue i was having, so i researched my vin and it staled that the recall no. 13 has already been completed on jeep. now my jeep is ...
