Filed Mar 10, 2017 · Electrical, Transmission · 100,000 miles · NE

While driving the service rear park assist message came on and the check engine light came on. When this happens all the lights around the transmission letters on the dashboard start to flash and the transmission starts to slip. This happens when you accelerate. Have had vehicle at the dealership for 3 weeks now and have had no solution to the problem . Am very concerned about transmission slipping when pulling into traffic.

I was driving and had to stop behind another driver who was making a left hand turn. I was on a slight incline. When they turned I began to accelerate. This is when I encountered my problem. I had to push the accelerator to the floor. It was as if the car shifted into neutral. Thinking this was strange I looked on my dashboard to make sure the car was still in drive. What I found when I looked was that all the gears were highlighted. At this point the car still wouldn't go over 20-25mph. (I was on a 45mph road on a very busy monday.) I gently moved my gear shift and that put my gear back into drive. A few seconds later I look at my dashboard and all the gears were briefly highlighted and then it went back to just the drive gear highlighted. I took it in to an authorized jeep dealer the next day and was told that I needed a new shifter module/bezel. I believe this is a safety hazard and something the chrysler company should of known about and put a recall out on this vehicle. I called chrysler and was only told that there are recalls out on jeep commanders for it slipping into neutral but that my vehicle was not part of said recall. Although the gear on my car shifted into neutral when I had it in drive. The recall also states that vehicles manufactured between certain dates should be considered for the recall. My car falls into those dates. I had to pay $829.00 for a part and $209.98 for labor and $14.70 for shop supplies. This brought my total to $1,127.44. I do not understand how a part could cost me this much? Am I the only owner with this problem? I got the problem fixed and the vehicle runs fine now. I am wanting chrysler to admit that this is a defect on their part and reimburse me for the total sum stated above.

Additional problems reference odi complaint #10244597. Received car back from dealership ran fine for two weeks. The car is now stalling on the highway at 40 MPH near our home. Thank god I was able to get the car to the side of the road. Then the park assist service light came on and went off again. I got the car home. My husband took it out. The transmission was slipping and not shifting into higher gear. Today taking the kids to the bus it stalled again. When I was able to restart, I put my foot on the gas and the car hesitate, almost causing an accident. I have pretty much decided on voluntary repossession, as my kids are worth more than the deficient balance.
