NHTSA Complaint #10396727 — 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

STARTING AT AROUND 55,000 MILES WHILE I WOULD BE DRIVING MY JEEP, THE CAR WOULD STOP MOVING BUT THE ENGINE WOULD REV AS I PUSHED ON THE PEDAL. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GO IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL OR REVERSE. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE HAD MY CAR AT MY MECHANICS AS WELL AS A JEEP DEALERSHIP, A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES, NOW READY TO GO BACK IN FOR THE 6TH TIME. EACH TIME I AM TOLD THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND A DAY OR 2 LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN. WHEN I CALL TO LET THE MECHANIC KNOW I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM AGAIN, I AM THEN TOLD THAT NEITHER THEY NOR THE DEALERSHIP KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND TO BRING IT BACK IN. LEAVING ME WITHOUT A CAR FOR DAYS. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE AND DO NOT WANT TO SPEND THOUSANDS MORE FIXING A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT FIXABLE. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN, AND FEAR THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING REAR END THE CAR WHEN IS JUST STOPS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER OF JEEP AND WAS TOLD ONLY "CERTAIN" 2006 JEEPS WERE UNDER RECALL, MINE WAS NOT ONE. ALL I COULD DO WAS MAKE A COMPLAINT. SO I MADE A VERBAL AND NOW WRITTEN COMPLAINT, HOPING SOMETHING GETS DONE. *TR
