NHTSA Complaint #11318940 — 2017 JEEP COMPASS

MY JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS, WHERE IT WILL STOP AND TELL ME I HAVE TO PARK BEFORE I SHIFT AS I AM DRIVING. THE "D" ON THE SHIFTER WILL BLINK AND IT WILL READ I NEED TO BE IN PARK TO SHIFT. I PULL OVER, HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND THEN TRY TO RESTART MY VEHICLE. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AS I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND ABOUT TO GO TO A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IF YOU COME TO A STOP, IT COMPLETELY BRAKES AND YOU CANNOT MOVE IT. THANKFULLY, THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ON A STREET NOT THE HIGHWAY, BUT I AM SCARED THAT IT MIGHT. I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH JEEPS, AND IT HAS ESCALATED TO A SERIOUS WRECK. I DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY LEASE IS ALMOST UP.
