2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee: stuck in gear or won't shift

Filed Sep 11, 2019 · Transmission · 107,000 miles · MA

At various times, when car is cranked and put into drive, the automatic transmission gets stuck in gear and gears do not change automatically. Very little power when trying to drive from being stopped. However when car is turned off and cranked back up it sometimes resets the issue electronically.

I bought the car in a different state and ever since I bought it I've had fuel pump symptoms. Car stops getting fuel to it and wants to shut off. Now it won't shift gears without shutting off, it isn't getting any fuel to it at all even though there is fuel in the gas tank. I went to get gas because my gas light came on. I shut my car off to pump gas. When I was finished I went to turn my car back on and it sputtered and shook and didn't want to stay on. I tried to put it in drive and move away from the gas pump and it wouldn't hardly move. It was real jumpy (kind of like a car out of gas) I wound up having to get it towed home. Me and my fianc looked up possible problems and found that my model of jeep had recalls for faulty wiring for the fuel pump fuse and I want to know if there's something I can do to resolve my problem. I haven't even had my car for 6 months yet.

Car lost all power for steering and braking. Car stalled. Was at low speed 5-8mph turning to the right into a gas station driveway from busy roadway of speeds of 55mph. Car went straight and rolled to a stop. Grateful was parking lot and ditch in front of me and not the gas pumps or another vehicle as I had no control of the car stopping. I have twice had car to dealer for car going into limp mode. Both in year 2016. Same cylanoid each time.

There is a leak at the transmission cooler. Looking on line, this appears to be a common problem. I notices the problem when I tried to accelerate up a hill and the transmission would not shift to the proper gear, and the car slowed and I pulled off to the side of the road to not block traffic. This was dangerous and I was not happy. I turned the car off and on, and it seemed to work fine. The dealer service department located the problem to be the transmission oil cooler leak causing low transmission fluid/oil and making the car not shift properly. I was driving/accelerating up hill at the time. The jeep dealer at folsom california has the car now.

My wife was driving the vehicle when all of the sudden the engine started to rev and would not shift up or down. She could only go maybe 20 MPH - people passing and honking on a 4 lane road. She found an area and pulled off the road into a retail parking lot. She put the car in park and then shifted back into drive and the issue continued as the car moved but the engine rev'ed without shifting to the next gear. She put the car in park and called the local dealer, where she was told to call chrysler road side assistance and have it towed in. The dealer took a look at it the next day and could not make it happen again. They said they re chipped it I believe(reset the electronics). This same issue happen again approx. 30 days later and it was towed in and they could not find any issue. They said we had to take the vehicle back and there was nothing they could do. We have had the vehicle towed twice now both in the morning taking our daughter to school. We cannot trust this vehicle and are looking at selling it. That is what the dealer suggested as well.
