NHTSA Complaint #11353722 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

I AM GETTING RANDOM SOFTWARE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SOMETIMES THE CAR POWER FADES WHEN DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADS TO A STOP SO I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR. I NOW AVOID DRIVING ON FREEWAYS BECAUSE OF THIS. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING ON MAIN ROADS I GET A MESSAGE TO SAY THAT I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" TO CHANGE GEAR WHEN I WAS JUST DRIVING IN D AND DID NOT WANT TO CHANGE ANYWAY AS IT WAS IN AUTOMATIC NOT MANUAL. WHICH I DO NOT USE. AFTER THE MESSAGE THE CAR LOSES POWER AND I HAVE TO STOP TO PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" TO RESTART THE CAR TO CONTINUE ON MY JOURNEY, SOMETIMES I HAVE NO ISSUES. I HAVE REPORTED ISSUES PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THE CAR LOSING POWER WHICH WERE CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED AFTER A RECALL FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES. THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY UNSTABLE, UNPREDICTABLE, UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYWHERE. I FEEL UNEASY AS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY AND TODAY BUT I NEED THIS ISSUE ESCALATED. I HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE USE OF A CAR (MY WIFE'S) WHICH I DRIVE TO AVOID THE ABOVE SAFETY CONCERNS AND PROBLEMS.
