Consumer Description
Jeep put out a recall for the transmission and the recall was supposedly done the recall states that it would correct the issue of the car putting itself into neutral at any speed and making the driver return to park before he could re-enter a gear and redistribute power to the wheels. The recall should make the car go into a limp mode with limited power yet still producing power so it can exit from the roadway it's not doing that and this doesn't matter if it's 70 miles an hour when this happens it cuts the power to the wheels and your only option is to try to get out of traffic put the car in park and put it back in the gear. the recall by jeep was S 55 says it's been done but this car again is putting itself in the neutral it's been to three different Jeep dealers and finally I took it to an independent mechanic that finally figured out that this was probably the issue Jeep doesn't care I was almost hit by an 18-wheeler going through the mountains 2 weeks ago when the car took itself out of of gear and put itself into neutral as I was doing a pretty nasty switch from downhill to uphill in the Rocky Mountains with a semi coming down right behind me. I lost power on the uphill side on a three-lane highway on the innermost Lane with nowhere to go. I had no power I could not get back across traffic to get off the highway I ended up stopping traffic just put the car back in the park to restart hi feel like this is an incredible safety hazard and it clearly if they did the recall it has failed and it is doing exactly what the recall was to fix again thank you for your time and help
