Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO THE LIGHTS AROUND THE PND21 WILL CIRCLE ALL OF THE GEARS AND EITHER GO INTO NEUTRAL OR 1ST GEAR ON ITS OWN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT, IT HAPPENS AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A WEEK. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD - HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER SAID IT NEEDS ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE AT A COST OF $750. CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE JEEP THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE A LOT OF THESE SAME 2006 JEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID MY JEEP HAS TO MANY MILES 85,000 - BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAPPENS TO CALL JEEPS NO MATER WHAT THE MILEAGE - I THINK THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THEY SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT - NOW MATTER HOW MANY MILES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN 3 ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
