PCM HAS BEEN REPLACEMENT MULTIPLE TIMES BY DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP. When computer fails it has failed a circuit with 02 sensors which kills engine power randomly while driving on highways. It has turned ABS light on and Service 4x4 randomly and won’t let the vehicle travel over 10mph. Very dangerous on roads. I’ve had three computers installed in the last Year and a half and have given me 3 close calls almost causing accident. That’s 3 too many. I’m not the only one with the computer issues ask around to owners with these jeeps. How many close called does someone need for Chrysler to not even repair but Just to look into. Do people need to die in an accident for people to take this seriously. The issue is NOT from lack of maintenance either. If my ABS module was failed I would no. My vehicle has a 115,000miles on it and when this dangerous intermittent issues occur there are no DTC codes stored. This is a total epic failure done by Chrysler. If they don’t find something soon about theses vehicles. I will be sure never to by another Jeep product. I don’t drive this vehicle unless I’m alone never-mind one of my niece or nephews With me in this death trap I’ve learned my lesson On this one Chrysler Please help the federal safety agency!!

A few weeks/months after the purchase of my jeep about 2 years ago, I noticed that my cruise control had stopped working and the ABS light had come. I checked my fuses and relays and they were ok. Then a day or so later I was driving on the interstate and my check engine light and my brake lights came on. My jeep then seemed to downshifted itself. It felt as if the transmission had locked up, it slowed to about 30mph and would not shift onto another gear. I pulled over killed the motor. After a few attempts to drive it, I turned the key over and noticed the break and engine lights were off so I attempted to drive home and was sucessfull. This started to happen more and more often. I noticed that it mainly happened when either I was running my AC or it was wet/raining outside. I then started researching jeep problems and recalls. I came across the daminoncrysler recall no. 13. The recall had described the issue I was having, so I researched my VIN and it staled that the recall no. 13 has already been completed on jeep. Now my jeep is stuck in limp mode and will not reset. It will not shift and the ABS, brake and engine lights stay on. Is there a way to find out exactly what service did they did when it was recalled in 2005 (if any)? I dont know what to do

Recall was supposedly taken care of on 2/28/2014. But on 3/05/2014 around 530pm on the parkway going home from work my jeep started to hesitant and then an exit away my slippery indication light came on and it made me nervous so when I got home I called the jeep chrysler dealership and they told me the service department was closed so I called the next day and let them know what happen and the receptionist said someone would call me back. That was about 8 am then I called my job to let them know I'd be late. It was going on almost 10am no one called so I called them again and they told me someone will call so I went to the dealership and waited for about 20 minutes and then was told they couldn't look at my car until monday or tuesday. I'm very upset because I use my car to get back and forth to work and I'm going to miss now 3 days because of it and they wouldnt even give me a rental so I wouldn't miss work. The ABS light came on and won't go off as well as the slippery indication light. How am I going to get back and forth to work next week? Help!
