NHTSA Complaint #10691705 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING RAPIDLY, THE "PARK" ICON CAME ON AND THE MESSAGE CENTER SAID "UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS WHILE IN PARK, CHECK TRANSMISSION" AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE CAR WAS STILL UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS, I COULD FEEL THE CAR TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS BUT COULDN'T. ENGINE LIGHT AND UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS/CHECK TRANSMISSION MESSAGE STILL APPEARING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR A SECOND TIME AND WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. AT THAT POINT, I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS AND ACCELERATE AGAIN, HOWEVER, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. *TR
