While driving, the gear shift slips out of gear without the clutch being used. This is a manual transmission and at 155,000 miles, this is low mileage in my consideration for this to be happening. This is a safety hazard for myself or any other cars around.

I was driving up the street heard something like a ran over something then jeep cut off got out to see if I ran over something but nothing was there and jeep would not start back up, what if I had been on the highway or busy traffic I could have been seriously hurt, which u am blessed that did not happen, the problem I have is chrysler should notake anything that could cause you bodily harm. A computer should never go out that is dangerous. I had to have the jeep towed to my home and then to a ship on two different times an one time back home from the shop because I did not have 900.00 to repair. So I'm stuck without having my jeep repaired because I'm on a fixed income. Also having electrical problem where chrysler did poor wiring., cigarette lighter keep going out, blinker and radio wiring is terrible and one of the front lights. Chrysler you got to do a better job, because I loved my jeep, but very disappointed because I can't afford to have it repair.
